I loved Impactor when I saw him in greyscale but now that he has garish and ugly colors, I'm going to give him a pass. Maybe if they repaint him as anything.

Almost literally anything.

Um



That's his color scheme though?

The purple's slightly brighter but otherwise he's spot on.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

I don't read the comics so I dunno what he was colored. :3:
(all his colors there look more subdued, the purple more than the yellow though yes)

I'm hoping the saturation is just turned way up in that photo, cause his colors look kinda bad which is a shame cause the figure looks pretty great

I turned the saturation down and altered the hue a bit

You should read the comics because they're very good. Especially Last Stand of the Wreckers, where he takes a prominent role.

Photo shopped Impactor's colors are pretty spot on. Also Movie Landmine/Armorhide continues to be an amazing mold.

My incredible goodposting transcends time and space but still it cannot transform the xbone into a good console.

We'll have to see Impactor in-hand to be sure, but I don't see a problem with either the photoshopped colors or the original. I have a little trouble with some reds, though, so I might not be the best judge.

So I gave Motormaster his hip replacement surgery, and it seems to be working well.

Superion's solid nannerhorns are slightly too large for Silverbolt's chest cavity, making for a very snug fit. I can see a reason for the bendy ones he came with.

While I was at it, I finally decided to give Superion four jets for limbs. Alpha Bravo is a neat character on his own and deserves a little shelf space of his own.

I found out a couple things I didn't read before and kind of ignored before because of their similar transformation schemes. Fireflight and Slingshot make great legs because their wings can be folded back along their calves, making the legs a little smoother while still retaining the plane noses as kneeguards. Air Raid is still a great arm, but I completely overlooked Skydive's extra shoulder joints. I thought he was the weakest of the Aerialbots because his wings were so forward and his arms didn't pin anywhere in vehicle mode like the other three jets and AB.

Boy, was I wrong! Those extra joints make for a great limb or jet mode. That's what I get for not reading the instructions thoroughly.

Of all the bullshit I've lurked in this thread, the last 10 posts have amused me to no end.

I ordered the the hip joints from that guy and I'm pretty sure I ordered the Blackjack thing too, it says preorder though, does that just mean it's kinda sittin in limbo till enough comes in or until he actually makes it?

Saab was born from Jets. :colbert:

Ultra Magnus can transport Silverbolt, he can also transport Jetfire if you really force it.

I just wish he was slightly bigger even though he's around the same height as the G1 version and can actually move. It just kinda sucks that the next leaders are Thundercracker, Starscream, and Skywarp. We need more big trucks like Magnus and less Planes/Helicopters/Optimus Primes. Magnus is just the perfect big fuckoff tractor trailer for a ton of other G1 guys.


Also Megan McCarthy is now head of collective hasbro Storytelling. I hope you all are ready for Equestriabots.

There was already a transforming My Little Pony in AoE, you're late to the party Taint Reaper.

That said if we get a line of cross over toys like the Marvel and Star Wars licenses where one of those ponies turn into a tank, I will probably drown in my tears from laughing at TFW2005.

I just want Official Revoltechs so Ponies can fight robots, Megaman, and Goku.



Seriously those dolls have show inaccurate hair and their laser guitars don't even transform in a robot birds or panthers. Utterly shameful.
