If it's so stupid then maybe you should just not even post?

I am so sick of hearing that. The wings are adjustable, they go up, out, down, and everywhere in between.

Oh, remind me not to look up the chinese year when I was born ('85).
Also agree with above, quit bashing the wings. At least the thing is the actual trailer. I do wish they didn't make one big cannon but two arm guns like in the movie. The figure still looks great.
I really hope they make a Scourge/Nemesis Prime repaint. Or even an Ultra Magnus repaint.

here's hoping Takara celebrates the 2012 year of the dragon with other transformers toys from the past that had dragon alt modes. by giving them updated homage new molds in 2011. like as few examples: (1) 1987 Snapdragon updated homage new mold in generations 2012 voyager size. (2) TM2 Megatron voyager sized updated homage new mold for 2012. more streamlined,more proportioned,no rubbery parts. get rid of the baseball cap & horns on the robot head. (3)deathsauras ultra sized updated homage new mold in 2012. (4) skylynx updated homage new mold in 2012.

If that's what you want then I'd get to making them myself. As sure as Hell is slightly toasty, even Takara won't produce new figures of those characters unless Hasbro decides they are to be part of the Prime or movie universes.
Personally I quite like the colouring and the notion behind it. No where near enough to entice to me to get it, but still...

Dragonfly wings, maybe.
Remember when repaints used to have some sort of purpose...either being a different character or at least be relevant to the character? That's the problem with the movie repaints, they're mostly just the same character and have nothing to do with anything that's ever happened with the character. Then again, the entire 'ultimate' Prime figure never happened so I suppose it's a bit difficult to give the repaint a relevant deco... But the point remains, movie repaints suck pretty hard most of the time.

Same here, looks pretty cool to me. The image looks so photoshopped though. This is definitely a real release?

Well the description does call this a mock up, so yes it's just a photoshop to give an idea of how it will look like.

i think the colours blend a lot better inrobot mode too, making it look a lot more-even more-awesomer-ness.
I like.
