Yeah, I agree. An innovative transformation is not necessarily a more complicated one. Sometimes the real testament to good engineering is found in how smoothly and elegantly all the parts fold up together, not in how many ball-joints and rotating flaps have to be lined up just right before you can achieve a vehicle mode.

True. I agree. I love a more intuitive transformation rather than cumbersome ones. It's when that alt mode that makes you scratch your head on how it actually becomes a robot then when you finally fiddle with it, your hands just do everything for you yet still at the end still stand amazed at how that just all happened.

This stems true, but also due to the fact that a lot of iconic characters came from toys that design wise themselves was not complex, it's why even high end Masterpiece toys are not as cumbersome as even the most basic of Voyager or Leader movie toys

Scluxe!

I swear that thing looks a different size with every comparison picture I see. But that's a hard picture to argue with... that FOC Prime mold is TINY... so this guy is damn small.

Too bad...

Wow... I was considering maybe buying these guys but now? I think my wallet will thank me as I pass.

OMG! 24 inch FOC Metroplex announced! Titan Class.

For $125, I hope it's better designed than Optimus Maximus...
