Oh yes, I mostly meant in terms of display space and price. It's the same reason I haven't tried too hard to get a Generations Metroplex even though I think it's awesome. I'll just take the dive and preorder the Microblaze voyager Onslaught, let's hope it lives up to my expectations.

Not that I'm trying to force you to spend money on Metroplex, but he also looks pretty cool in "bending/kneeling to interact with the mere mortals" poses if your shelf is small.

TheDK posted:How bad is the backpack on Human Alliance Sideswipe? The Shadow Blade repaint looks really nice... What a coincidence, I just got that one the other day on a whim. It's... a pretty big backpack, but overall I still like the figure a lot and the deco is very very cool. I can't take pictures now but the figure has plenty of good angles, and then there's that big big backpack (be sure to keep it pulled back, not down). I know this phrase gets used too much but it really "looks way better on hand". Just like the first deluxe however, the leg posability is super limited, but he stands better. The altmode is incredible. The best Sideswipe figure is still the "Sidearm" mold by far, but this one is actually very nice.

It's about Generations Bumblebee/Gold bug level of stuff hanging off the back, except it doesn't tab in anywhere like BB's does, so it just kind of flops around back there. Hopefully you have, or can see, that mold and get a better idea.

So apparently that Deluxe Nightbeat headsculpt is dead on and perfect in person. So much so that people are lamenting that Hasbro is doing a general release of the character and it negates the Club Exclusive because it's just that good. For reference the Club Exclusive was an energon mold(Hotshot) and all the energon molds were pretty lovely. I hope they do a mass release of Punch/Counter punch with a voyager mold or something. Just so Double Dealer can have a Double Crossing friend and make the only good exclusive that the TFCC ever released pale in comparison.

Meh Waspinator is allright but apparently the legends repaint is based off of this guy: He's some sort of double homage to Venom and Bugly. Legends Thundercracker was changed to Acid Storm and The Waspinator was going to have G1 Venoms colors until they changed it to Bugly to match Acidstorm. A Deluxe Waspinator repaint isn't out of the question since pretty much everything is being repainted atleast once. And I'd wager that they would go with Venin since he exists already.

Yep, Ravage might be the "worst" of the MP tapes (which isn't saying much really, they're all great) but I still think he's far better than the Universe version. I don't really see a 3rd party pulling out a better one, given the 3p minicassettes we've seen so far.

Why cookie Rocket posted:Lemme just add some balance to your super-cherrypicked angles: And? The microcassettes always look good only from one side. The other side is always kibble city. Universe Ravage doesn't even have a good side in cassette mode. There is no way in hell Universe Ravage is better than MP Ravage. Is MP Ravage the least of the MP cassettes? Absolutely. Is it worse than that swaybacked detail-less thing strapped to Hound's rear end? Not for one second.

The photos he put up show the side of the jaguar mode and the front of tape mode for each ravage. That's not "super cherry-picked".
