lucky there were to Cybertronian dogs sniffing at his base.

Judging just from these pics I'm not impressed with either toy. Soundwave looks too much like Animated Soundwave and Optimus Prime's alt mode looks too "WTF?!" to me. Meh. I might get Prime but so far Soundwave doesn't appeal to me. My opinion may change when more pics come out and/or when I see the toys IRL - but so far this is what I think.

Reports are that Optimus Prime is mistransformed badly or with parts missing as its not as smooth as the earlier leaked protoype and there is considerable kibble not present in the character model - However that does not save the horrible paint job. I know its just a prototype but horrible paint jobs including pinks and flat colors do manage to get approved by Hasbro.

I believe that Soundwave is merely an oddity - I don't think he represents anything.

I'll be disappointed if it turns out to be a mostly earth-based series. I was looking forward to a series full of interesting cybertronian designs.

Really?

Whenever I think of Cybertronian designs I think of the lazy space car designs of the Armada-Cybertron series. I would prefer either proper earthen modes, or completely alien looking vehicle modes.

Admitedly this deluxe primes vehicle mode isn't too bad, far better than the Armadaverse space trucks anyway.

Same. I would not like a series composed of only Cybertronian vehicles.

Cybertronian vehicles are still good however but in measured doses. I am fine with a subline or 'mini-line' like the video game toys appear to be or the odd Cybertronian/Sci-Fi/Beast mold within a line mostly composed of realistic vehicles.

Its been said that its a prequel to the new franchise but I am somewhat skeptical on that.
