Would it be bad form to point out that this transforming robot looks like a Scout class figure?

When are we going to get some Voyagers? Man, what I would not give for an Ultra!

Why a car? They are always cars. Give me something that we do not see every day!

-well, somebody was going to say it, right?

Your response was, coincidentally, in the same vein as my conservation with a friend after we saw that.

"The scuplting detail sucks, and the transformation seams are too blatant in alt mode."
"Well, they're working on version 9 now."
"It had better be a jet."
"One that flies."
"And transforms in mid-air withotu crashing."
"And it had better not retail for more than $19.99."

Yea, it's so easy to troll :lol:

That is seriously badass. A real-world application like that is impressive, even if it is just for an expensive custom toy. Granted, it doesn't have the pointless Michael Bay gappy spindly shit all over it, but it's REAL so there ya go.

Did you guys check out this one on the "related" links from that one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuC6q9kbryw

The vehicle mode kinda reminds me of the 'Built-to-Rule' or 'Kre-O' Transformers. Just seems a little overly blocky to me, although I'm sure that's a necessity for the hardware. But its ability to transform and level of movement it has in robot mode and even drive around is impressive.

Oh great, another red sports car. Why not something we have not seen before, like a, uh, just something we have not seen!


And, why no beast modes?

(Note: This is just general mockery of butt-hurt fandom complaints. Take it as such.)


Dom
-we could do this forever!

I get the feeling I'm being made fun of somehow... >_>

Form should definitely follow function. Curves and open servos would not serve this thing well, that's all extraneous stuff that would hinder rather than help the function, it's a luxury.
