Chest still weird (though people keep telling me he has an alternate one somehow) but it looks good.

I remain really glad I jumped ship and went to Toyworld for my Skullcruncher needs. He's so big and chunky and fun and has been out for ages and he legit has two chest options that are both good and they didn't try to shoehorn another character into the mold.

I really liked Verity's role in LSoTW, but I think the point was to humanize the Autobots a little and to put the data slug somewhere Prowl wouldn't think of it, because i'm not certain he realized she was even there.

Granted I'm saying this as someone who doesn't really like LSoTW that much all these years later.

I'd like Toyworld's take if he looked like an actual alligator and less like a synapsid.

Yeah, I thought he looked like a synapsid, too.

Most people probably don't know what synapsids are. Even though they evolved from them! Know your roots, people. Be proud of your Dimetrodon heritage.

I thought the idea of the remnant Decepticons hooking up with nations that reflected their personal philosophies was a pretty good idea. The Predacons seemed a good fit there. But of course the writing just wasn't up to the concept in that era of the IDW comic. In the end the idea was only pursued effectively with Thundercracker.

I would have an issue with it if the G1 character's alt mode was a flawless alligator but it's just another robo-beast with "close enough" anatomy, so whatever. Fansproject's headmasters are fine but I couldn't shake the feeling that they seem a bit anorexic and wound up with serious buyer's about the first three.

Ultra Magnus having Verity for his holo-avatar weirds me out just a bit. It's like, you can choose to look like anyone, so long as it's a hairless Eart ape, and you walk around looking like someone you and your buddies have hung out with. That's kinda strange, Magnus.

Also, everyone else doesn't pick what the avatar looks like: they're automagically created based on their personality. Magnus was/is a very, very broken person and refused to use that sort of avatar.

Edit: Whirl's avatar has been the best utilized, I think.

I'd buy that.

Also, Rodimus spent hours tweaking his for the perfect John Bender/80's Cartoon Douche Amalgam, so it's not just a case of 'ya takes whats ya gets.

How Skids ended up as two different versions of The Doctor, I hope we never find out.

The last two panels were actually fixed up in the hardcover edition of LSOTW (which is really good and has extras that tie it to MTMTE), so you're not alone in finding the art off. But Verity's presence makes a little more sense if you've read the Infiltration/Escalation series where her character is introduced, though if you don't like humans in TF fiction you may not like that series at all.

And I'm pretty sure Magnus uses her as his holomatter avatar because she's his only friend. :colbert:

Well I'm just sticking with the Comixology one for now, I haven't bought an actual, physical comic in a long time.

Glad to hear the art was fixed up a little. This one:

Which FP store? The Shaftesbury Ave one has sold all out of its Wave 1 CW stuff finally , but then hasn't had wave 2 in that I've seen. The remaining Generations stuff is shelf-warming in the exact way it did in the States, with pegs consisting of Scoop, the Ammonites, Nightbeat, etc, so don't feel too despondent about that.
