The moulds themselves also look unimpressive.

Like a few people on the board I saw a prototype in person a few months ago and it is pretty cool. Not what I expected or hoped for but not as crap people make it out to be either. It is bigger than I expected too. Really wide. I'm sure lots of us will by him when we see it in person.
He does not look good in that picture. It's a combination of the bland paint job (or lack of paint on areas that need it) and the leg that Long Haul forms looking awkward.
Looks like a bodybuilder who only works on his top half and has chicken legs

For the guys who have seen it in person, what's the poseability on this thing? Will we be able to hunch him over in a crawling pose like in the movie? He looks pretty stiff in those pics.
The really important question: Does he really have janglies?If so, he'll only be the second Transformer toy ever made to have a pair.

The one they had at the AUS Toyfair was a prototype, so wasn't very mobile, and the one at BotCOn was sealed in a plastic display case, so it is difficult to tell how articulated the final version will be. I would think that it should be fairly stable and articulated for them to sacrifice a robot mode for each constructicon, but it is so big and heavy, that there may be some solid load-bearing limbs and joints, limiting its poseability. Not to mention that it is supposed to crawl along on all fours like a gorilla, so probably can't do as much as a regular biped-formers.
I think this will be a word-of-mouth type figure among the collectors, with most waiting for someone else to get it first to see if it is worth getting.
