It's $30 so it is in fact cheaper than a Voyager. If I remember right these ones at this price point are pretty big, closer to MP-01 Prime than Earthrise Prime.

And really nobody should care if non-Transforming figures exist if they aren't preventing a transforming one from happening.

Still overpriced though. Don't know who'd actually buy this over a fully transforming version. Even though transformers are overpriced in general.

Anyone who wants a cool looking truck without a bunch of panel lines to stick on a shelf? Even the best Optimus Prime figure still doesn't look like a perfectly seamless truck (unless it's a shellformer like some of the movie Primes). I've got a few dozen Primes of every shape and size, what I don't have is a perfect looking truck so I do intend to buy a few of these.

I have movie Bee and Crosshairs, and they are really nice. I can't wait to display them next to the ones I have in robot mode. These are very well done vehicle modes. And sometimes, the vehicle mode needs to be allowed to shine like this

I got Scorponok vibes, it looks like it has his shoulder cannons!

She doesn't when you realize that all those Maximals are the ones appearing in ROTB.

Who decided lets release some small figures that don’t offer anything that isn’t available already and in top of that done in away that is poorer than anything that came before it. I have something similar that i got when i was a kid in the 80s and it’s better made. If you buy this I’m selling I’m a C@?t tshirts for a couple hundred and I have mispelt it too, it’s an exclusive too so, and im sure its got some die cast as all tf fans love abit of die cast
