I'm into some pretty obscure robot toys over here, you've probably never heard of them.

I dislike the gloss as much as the next guy, but given the choice between boring-rear end monochrome test shots and some offish-looking paintjobs, I'd go for the latter.

I wasn't being completely serious but just look at Skids and the Armada Starscream. It probably is a protective finish to keep them safe during transportation and however many times they're transformed for display/posing.

The_Doctor posted:The head is dead on "No, your expression is more like this". And I think with some finagling you can make his legs more backwards bendy.  incThe official Whirl photos (or at least the ones on TFW) are kind of strange. It seems that in at least 2 of the images they photoshopped an entire arm from another photo. In other news I now find myself wanting Weaponizer Ultra Magnus.

Yonic Symbolism posted:Yeah not seeing much resemblance to the idw design in that whirl Wow I love that comic but that is a stupid-looking design the moment you give it some thought. Good luck looking down! That actually applies to a lot of transformers.... Oh god I'm never going to stop thinking about this, all my alternators are ruined.

I'm kind of torn over Scoop. As a kid he was the only Targetmaster I had (other than the Targetmaster versions of Hot Rod and Kup, who I never really counted as "true" Targetmasters) so for me it's kind of cool to get him, but at the same time he's a nothing character, and he pretty much looks like a simplified Energon Landmine, and the new Targetmasters themselves aren't really much of an improvement over the G1 versions. I never thought we'd see the return of the unileg. If they're going to delve into the '87-and-later guys there's a lot of more interesting figures I'd rather have gotten. Armada Starscream and that out-of-nowhere Minicon combiner look great, though I feel bad for the poor Minicon who hast to become the legs when you look at it from the back.

The Whirl is from his design in Chaos Theory and Shadowplay guys. Its not as cool as MTMTE design but still a cool mold

It's R63 Armada Starscream. That's great, because it's silly enough on it's own, but also, no matter what they do with her, it's going to be hilarious to me to watch people react with vitriol.

Aren't they just making a toy of her? I didn't think she was actually being written into any fiction.

I just wanna know who/where they polled about this character? I never saw a vote/checklist/survey. Was this just something FunPub handed out to the Uber Fans?

It was a public poll or you make the I like the design, but we probably won't see the two til when? And by then who knows what it'll look like.

I voted at Hasbro's website. I don't know if there were other places. I still want my construction vehicle Autobot with a sniper rifle.

So apparently by the end of the day SDCC Metroplex was going for $400 on the floor. My friend who picked one up for me said someone offered her $500 cash for it as she was walking out with it. I did not think silver legs and an extra gun would whip people into such a frenzy.

What with her theme and color scheme, I just can't shake it from my head that she's Perceptor after he got a sex change and became a geisha. Again, no, I am not making that up, yes, it happened in an actual episode of G1. (G1 got loving weird as poo poo)

I just wish we could get a horrible stereotype themed transformer that's NOT Japanese. I'd be thrilled to own a Sikh-themed female plane robot. Or Russian. Or Eskimo. Or just...not Japanese. I'm talking aesthetics, not accent.

So she's definitely an Autobot? And does a decent Slipstream toy exist? I still think jets are cool.

Picked up a replacement Springer at walmart today, the replacement tabs together a LOT more solidly than the first one I got, and so I'm a whole lot happier with him now! I also found a Sandstorm, haven't messed with him yet.
