See I much prefer their Sideswipe, because I can just pretend that he stole the Predacon's bull alt mode.

And we need more bull robots.

I just cannot get into an Optimus Primal who is 100% robot in both modes. Half of the fun of Primal is that he has a (trying really hard) realistic animal mode.

They can repaint that Sideswipe into Hori-Bull except he looks like a bull this time.

I was saying I liked this Primal because it makes sense, he's the Cybertron version not the version after he got his beast mode.

I was insulting this https://tfsource.com/generation-toy/GT-10-bw/

Which apparently was based on that stupid porn comic What was intimately familiar with

Bull Sideswipe is the kind of thing I want more 3rd parties doing, instead 6 companies making the same characters. Or if they want to remake figures, remake the ones that were terrible like Beast Machines Silverbolt. Actually, Beast Wars Silverbolt needs an update too, like wings that actually folds up on his back.

Yeah, it's a pretty cool idea, surprised there's any push back against it. I especially like how the bot mode is the roughly the same outline but the alt mode is so radically different. Can I get an Overdrive that turns into a stallion next please?

Is that 3P stealth bomber Megatron trash or something? I’ve seen so many for sale on the UK 3P groups over the last few weeks, and considering it just came out, that ranks as suspicious to me.

Ehhhhhhh... There's lots to dislike, but robot mode is fine. I tried combiner mode once, and I'm never doing that again because getting her bigger head back into the torso is an absolute pain. Jet mode is of the Silverbolt 'robot lying on its tummy with a plane backpack' thing. Her hands are still very visible. and the head just doesn't really fit flushly into the space on mine, so it's always at an angle. Oh, and again with the daft foil stickers. I feel like Hasbro hasn't been hitting it all that well lately. Nothing in PotP is wowing me so far.

I'll bring her along when we catch up this week?

I think the holes in her wings hurt the torso mode chest, making them look too messy.

The old one tends to flop, doesn’t have interesting paint, has a robot head that doesn’t effective escape the beast body, and is saddled with the weird butt gimmick AND a gun designed to lose necessary parts of the ant legs.

All that and I didn’t even touch on show accuracy (which is typical pre-transmetal bad).

It’s just not worth paying more than $20 for a complete one, and that’s if you’re cool sinking time into tightening up the ball joints with floor wax or something. Maybe they still go for $20 now, poo poo, I dunno.

See I assumed G1 Inferno because BW Inferno is like the 28th best character on BW. His entire character is literally one joke repeated for three years.

To be fair, the only difference between Inferno and any G1 character is that he was in more than three episodes so that joke got stale. Which has been a problem with most TF shows really...

Or it'll be like $40 now, and you can get them in the airport too anyways.
