The_Doctor posted:Cosmos!! Robot Style posted:I get needing to give him a decently sized torso, but the new Cosmos looks way too tall in vehicle mode. If there was a way to push some of that bulk down into the saucer it would look great, but as it is, it feels more like something you'd see in the background of a Jawa swap meet. I think being tall is the point. They already did flat cosmos the best they can.   What's the deal with the flag? Is it gonna combine into something else, or is there some weird animation frame it's a reference to?

This makes me think we’ll see a more G1 accurate colour scheme at some point. Brighter green and yellows, perhaps.

Definitely down for that Cosmos and Scourge. Was just thinking about Cosmos last night, so, thanks to Hasbro for saving me the trouble of hunting down an older version.

Cosmos is literally just a chicken incubator lamp isn't he? Aren't those pretty tall Surgical lamp, do excuse me.

He's got a flag that is also a gun. My kids (and I) will love him. Whole lot of roleplay you can do with a flaaaaaaaaaag. He doesn't seem to be on Pulse yet for UK, most of the Velocitron stuff isn't. I live in hope.

Anyone know why the outsides of ER prime's feet are designed to peg together? You can't actually do it, his legs don't move that way when you flip them around at the thighs, but there's a little tab and port on the outside of the middle of each foot that clearly line up with each other. Is it a holdover from Siege or something?

On Siege, you rotate each shin 180 degrees and flip the wheels, but keep the waist in its original position, which means tabbing the feet into each other. On Earthrise the wheels stay put and you rotate the waist, as you know.

The proportions are much more naturalistic and there's a better balance of conversion density throughout the toy instead of "close up the toes, articulate the hips, flip out gas cans, then turn the torso inside-out" on Earthrise. If ER Prime had extending biceps and did more with the shins I'd like him a lot more. Imagining now a Commander Class Optimus that had Kingdom Rodimus-level production value.

Arquinsiel posted:So is my poor battered Cosmos I adore the Spaceman Spiff Cosmos and I still kick myself a little for not getting the Titans reissue with the red plastic head. I bought a few of the Iron Factory minibots recently and he fits in not too badly with them, what with his non-tubby proportions.

That is, indeed, the one fix the Thrilling 30 version needed. Sadly the Titans Return one didn't come with Payload, who is also great. I got him for a friend of mine who is super into conspiracy theories about aliens and she loves him  War and Pieces posted:At the very least they harbor someone who has admitted to doing the thing there's nasty rumors about.

If there was a way to push some of that bulk down into the saucer it would look great, but as it is, it feels more like something you'd see in the background of a Jawa swap meet. He could stand to lose half a centimeter or so, but it's still pretty accurate to how he was usually drawn in saucer mode.

I am not sure if that's the version I want to have, but it's definitely put the notion of getting a full G1 Devastator back into my head.

It couldn’t resist it and ordered it. Devastator is one of my favs. To have a yellow Autobot version named Tonkanator is even better. Anyone see pics of the packaging? I wonder if it’s like the g1 retro packaging like the Walmart Devastator a couple years back.

Tonkanator looks cool, totally getting it. Those Street Fighter 2 collabs, though... They're mostly Titans Returns figures I wasn't too keen on the first time. Does anyone who have them like them as well?

I know you’ll get them both cheaper on AliExpress. That first one sells for about £8 on there.

I like G1 Devi, but a reissue should be like $50 at most. Also, is Legacy Blitzwing shorter then TR Blitzwing? Anora fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jun 25, 2022 |
