I really like the vehicle mode on the new Prime, but I don't like the robot mode. Too much kibble, chest is weird looking, arms held on by tiny joints with the shoulder kibble over them to make them look bigger, just kind of awful all around. And as for the sword, if you told me that sword belonged to next years Power Rangers Megazord I would believe it.

For the amount of kibble that Optimus has basically amounting to Beastwars level shellformer but he's a vehicle instead of an armadillo I would expect him to look good as a truck.

I'm glad I already have the best movie OP (Super Butterfly Optimus), so the fact that this is incredibly hideous doesn't bother me in the least.

Literally the only good thing about that figure is that it's the only movie Prime with a trailer.

Wow. I really thought that was one of the most universally despised movie figures ever made. The idea of preferring it over RotF Leader Prime is very difficult to imagine. It doesn't even look like any version of him in any of the movies.

Plus, you shouldn't stick out his wings. They should all be down together as a glorious metal cape.

No no no, I disagree, you have to have them splayed out like he's Gundam X going in for the kill.

Unique Toys Messiah unofficial Galvatron Horrible pose aside, I like it. I wouldn't be surprised though if an official MP Galvatron gets released right before this is set to hit online stores.

He's like Sigma, in that he has it as a cape when he's just chilling out and playing with you, maybe sicking his robot dog on you first, but he goes all Turn A Gundam Moonlight Butterfly when poo poo gets real. That's his true final boss form. Fucker is a destroyer of civilizations.catch22 posted:
Y'all know how long I've been whining that there's no proper Galvatron to go up against City Commander and Protector and its nuts that we're getting multiple Nova Primes of all goddamn people before a single Galvatron but maaaan why did it have to be Unique Toys?

I wouldn't worry. If third party trends for the past year are anything to go by, three more will be announced inside of a month.

Eh I've always felt the best candidate for Classics Galvatron is the purple version of the Energon Megatron/Galvatron mold(there's a lot of Unicron Trilogy & RiD figures that work well for a classics lineup that don't get their fair share of recognition, although that number lowers as more G1 & G2 characters get CHUG and/or 3rd party versions)

Rumor is he's voyager size. Actually glad to hear, as CHUG Galvatron sucks and we'll prob get an official MP version soon anyway.

I'm blown the gently caress away they weren't just making a shooter where you play as humans going WOW WAIT UNTIL SAM'S DOG GETS A LOAD OF THIS while autobots fight in the background from the get-go

Was that on fast forward or something? That seems like an incredibly short stage for an arcade rail shooter. Especially since it costs $1.50 a play now or however much.

"Awesome, Sideswipe! You're just like a ninja!" Wow, that was embarrassing on just about every level. I love that you play as human buddies and not an actual Transformer. Very true to the films.

http://curiopraxis.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Cybertron-Checklist-406225306 Dark Cybertron checklist. New RiD is interesting. I like that they're trying to finally provide some depth of characterization to Soundwave, even if it feels weird to me as a guy steeped in G1. The art shifts in the book (intended to denote flashbacks) are jarring as gently caress though.

Yeah, I'm not sure what voice to assign soundwave in books where he has full sentences with varying emotion. Ravage is pretty cute. But then again it's kind of impossible for a giant robot's talking cat friend to not be kind of cute.

My plastic children's toys are disintegrating. The clip on ROTF Lockdown's chest/roof snapped off sometime during the move, and IDW Pax has some wicked stress marks forming at concentration points where his legs peg together. I can sand the pegs down a hair, but I feel like a turd about Lockdown. E: and man I wish Bomber Megatron's shoulders locked in place somehow. It even looks like there's a ridge in the grey leverarm that looks like it ought to cam in behind a mating ridge in the body, but it doesn't. I can forgive an awful lot but I can seldom abide a floppy shoulder.

Really? It's the arms I've circled in red that I'm bitching about; right now they just sort of hang in midair and support the weight of the arm and gun by friction. The tabs circled in blue I have no problem with.

They have to be friction held to give the shoulders a full range of movement.

So this finally arrived today: Wish I had something better to photograph with than a crappy cellphone camera. Given the price and the size of the box I thought he would be bigger. But he's pretty well done. Now to resist the urge to buy Ultra Magnus when he comes. Unless he's all white redeco of Optimus Prime. Because what the hell is up with that?
