Eh...not much of a variant.

No its not. But there are those who pay lots of money for things like that. Not my thing and could care less since I open my stuff, but there are those who do.

Dont really collect tf figures, but for some collectors this seems to be a nice figure, I dont think many would really "need" to have those Walmart exclusive ones, aside from diehard fans I see most people waiting for the regular release.

It came and went in seconds.

I am actually one of those you refer to.  I do collect variants, but this just does not seem like a "variant" to me.  Make the variant something like...streaks of fire come out the back or are extras in the box.

The Dalorean Alt mode looks really nice, but I'm afraid I find the bot mode disappointing in execution.  Maybe I'll change my mind once I see reviews, but at this point I'm just not digging it enough to pre order.  It's too bad because I thought the idea sounded awesome.

Agreed the robot mode does not look as great as the car mode!

This looks really cool, love the concept. While I love Back To the Future I don't love Transformers enough to want to get this which works well since apparently this was the latest in pre-order disasters this year.

The "mech-tech" windshield gives a  "Mad Max" vibe to the Delorean. But,  Hasbro should've given a plastic insert to simulate the glass pannel instead of collectors making one. It's just lazy. Unless the comics gives us a logical  reason behind the design.

I am with you.  It does not look as good in robot form.

Now with images

Not bad, but I'm a bit on the fence about this one. Ectotron was an awesome looking figure, the alt mode was very accurate and the robot mode looked nice (I regret not getting it when I had the chance). In this case, I'm not really liking the look of the windshield, don't know what that is supposed to be, may be explained in the comics, but I'd have rather they gave him a colored windshield. As for the robot mode, he's quite blocky, not too bad, but that appealing really. Guess I'll have to wait and see some reviews so I can make up my mind.

Another nightmare Walmart presale, luckily this will be easy to get at all retailers by November.
