I probably will sell it, my co-worker has someone that might possibly be interested and if not sell it to a goon or go the eBay route (depending on how hard Comic Con hit me).

Welp, spent two hours applying stickers to Metroplex stuck some fresh batteries in and... he doesn't work. Tried a different pair of batteries and still nothing, unless there's a tab I need to pull out that I'm missing, I can't enjoy the lights and and sounds of my child's toy.

Knormal posted:I think their Streetwise looks decent, but the I don't like the weird sci-fi bike they chose for Groove. I know they had to do something, since a motorcycle's just not bulky enough to make a good three-mode figure, but what they chose totally clashes with the rescue vehicle theme. I'd rather they just chose some other alt mode altogether. But at least you can't say it's blah I guess. This owns.

It is also the ugliest transforming toy you will see today. This is the ugliest piece of poo poo, god drat, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come with the TF4 line.

While I do think ROTF Prime was pretty ridiculous for a toy, which is why it was awesome, it seems like they went full-bore on dumbing it down. I think they did this to save costs more than anything to be honest, that plastic looks cheap as gently caress. Can't agree with the chrome though, chrome pretty tacky, chrome and plastic just looks awful.

Keldroc posted: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. The problem is that only works if you have something to support his leg behind him, he has to be propped up at the knee.

Because it's a movie where sentient robots with humanoid forms can transform into vehicles we produce for no reason: aesthetic choices by artists to make interesting and recognizable forms.

I was at Target and browsed the Transformers section, they had a Voyager Grimlock and I picked him up to give him a chance... I.... like him. He looks a lot better in hand and I love the design of the robot and poses you can get. His weapon sucks and I kind of wish he didn't even have it. The bronze color is loving criminal, I hope there's a redeco down that line, hell I'd like him better if he was just various shades of grey and black.
