A limited edition, 6.5 ft, 175 lb, Optimus Prime statue! Check it out here: www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=ESH10000&mode=retailPre-order now while you still can, there's only 200 of these guys! I especially like the shipping info. seen in the 'Product Description' section. Though I shouldn't joke, because since these are official pieces from Hasbro, they'll probably sell out rather quickly.

Does it transform because everyone knows that true Transformers fans don't want non-transforming Transformers, no matter what logic says. I mean, what next, an awesome game with a tix wheel and kinetic action that I won't buy just because the little figurines don't transform? No offense to an TFers. Just applying the logic I saw when I was surfing around TF forums to see how well Attacktix was doing. General consensus seemed to be along the lines of the above.

Just applying the logic I saw when I was surfing around TF forums to see how well Attacktix was doing. General consensus seemed to be along the lines of the above. Unfortunately, as I've said before, it seems the majority of TransFans are whiny Momma's boys. Fortunately, it seems like most of the ones we have on this board (including myself are pretty laid back , and just go with the TF flow. It would be pretty hard to do if this thing could actually transform. You probably couldn't do it alone, you'd need 1 or 2 other people. Or at the very least, someone to spot you (like doing bench presses)! That'd be pretty embarrassing to get crushed by your own 6.5 ft. tall action figure, that you paid $4000+ for, no less.

Yeah, the TransFans we have here are all really cool and seem to be much less... militant than what I've seen out in the larger community. It'd be absolutely awesome to have a giant, 6.5 foot, transforming figure, though. It'd have to be made out of plastic or a light metal so it wouldn't crush anyone but I'd love to have a life-size Dinobot to perch out in my garden (if I had a garden ).

That's the exact word I was grasping for as I was typing! And yeah, a life-sized Dinobot would be the best scarecrow EVER!

WOW, six-foot five, that would be quite a bit more impressive than my cardboard stand-up Boba Fett, but $4000, that is another story.
You just need to give him a voice box and some lights and link him to your home security, can you imagine when someone breaks in, sees the Giant Robot shouting "there's a thin line between being a hero and being a memory. (or some such better AP quote there)" ;D

You know, if I'm going to pay $4000 (plus S/H) for an item like this, I think I'd like to see an actual PHOTO of it rather than a drawing!

Here's what we should do. We should all pool our $$$, and have one sent to my house. Stay with me here. I could take pictures (I am a fair photographer) and post 'em here. You could all look at the pictures and bask in their glory. Whaddya think?

For that weight and its price, He better be able to transform, drive me to work, and be my home security all at the same time!

Does it transform because everyone knows that true Transformers fans don't want non-transforming Transformers, no matter what... I did have to chuckle at this. I still see that posted each time a 'Tix thread comes up on a pure TF board..."why don't they transform?" Quick answer? The game would be over by the time you got done, just like in the 3D card game.

It would have been cool if you had a remote to transform him automatically. Now THAT would be worth $4,000 bucks!
