    lemme spell it out for you guy: youre rubbing people the wrong way. people, as in plural. now stop for awhile to think that you might not always be in the right and ask why?

    Hey Glitcher, could you give me a link to some of your awesome 'reviews' so I can know how to do one if I choose to?

    ..... said the man who responds to a sincere post with more sneering. Besides, I already answered your question in my last post.

    For the moment I only have one of Countdown on the feedback forum, but hopefully I'll write more for the Animated figures once I get them.

    I don't even have a video camera. (But if you lend me one, I'll gladly make reviews with it. :)  ) Not all of us have money to spare. I can only buy certain Transformers by selling others first. It's a hard life.

    I think that looks pretty good! But i don't dig the mouth. Op and Grim are the 2 people that I love with a face plate. His mouth just kinda weirds it out for me. On the toy if the mouth piece came off, the top of his head part still looks pretty good :)

    No, KA was being to the point. Okay, he was sneering a bit too, but he was being succinct.

    In the same spirit as the criticism you feel obliged to hand out, let me offer you the same. The problem here is twofold...

    Unsolicited critique on the internet is always a delicate affair. ALWAYS. That's why it's generally seen as poor form to even attempt it. So it should come as no surprise that people are rubbed the wrong way by some comments.

    Secondly, there is something in your manner when you make your comments that puts people off... a sense of entitlement perhaps? I imagine it's unintentional, but it's something to be wary of. The fact that you often only seem to offer criticism on people's art, and every other minor bit of forum officiata (heh, I just made that word up), only makes it worse. In my case, for example, I didn't comment just because of your interjections in this thread, but after seeing you making incidental critiques in a number of other threads over time. It finally just got to me.

    Anyway, there's a sincere response for you. I hope you take it to heart and take a moment to re-examine how your approach might not always be appropriate, rather than it merely being a case of everyone else being thin-skinned.

    I additon to what Smog said...

    If you wanted to give him input to improve things... there is a PM button.

    a PM of helpful advice is much better than tearing down someone's reviews publicly in their own thread under the umbrella of 'advice'.

    There are ways to offer unsolicited advice and/or critique even in public, without rubbing people the wrong way: offer it in a polite manner, ask whoever you're criticing (sp?) if he/she wants some advice that in your opinion would improve his/her work (thus making said advice solicited ;) )

    It's different to say:

    Or:

    Than:

    And then offer the advice.

    It seems to me you have been criticising him. I even seem to remember the overview comment on another of his threads. Leave the guy alone. He's the only person on TFW thats done a review with some great pictures and good videos. Get off his back.

    Any way, rant over, does his Alt Mode jaw open?

    Guys, seriously, can we cool it on the review. I think we all know where we stand on the issue, and as I mentioned in the Voyager Op feedback thread, it's not glitcher's advice that I have a problem with, it's the repetition when I haven't even had an opportunity to put it to use. Dragging it out just makes it take longer to be over and done with. I don't want to deal with it, I've already gone through enough crap today.

    Dayyyamn. Hello there, new Classics Grimlock!
    Love the pics, love the look of this one. Looks like there's definitely some Animated figures I can't pass up under any circumstances.
    Peaugh, if you get the opportunity, any chance we could see some Grimlock comparisons (G1, Classics, Energon, etc)? Whatever you got would be much appreciated.

    I wasn't planning on getting any Animated figures, but your pics have gotten me interested in Grimmy. I can't wait to see the video REVIEW. :)

    Grimlock looks awesome. A little shorter than I would love him to be, but he's another one wheren his bulk definetly makes up for it. Honestly, I'm really getting tired of people basing size class instantly off of how tall a TF is. It isn't that at all. It's over all size, the engineering that when into it, and how much plastic it takes to make that TF. That is why we're getting a short Bulkhead and Lugnut (Grimlock here is about average size for a Voyager), and not Hasbro "getting cheap with us" or anything like that. As for the whole review/overview debate....does it really matter? IMO, no, it doesn't. I'm happy enough that he's been providing us with pictures and what not, withought feeling the need to correct his grammar, and then bug him about it every chance I get. Thanks Peaugh.

    I know you're joking, but...wow...trying to help and defend someone to have them comment to your post like that isn't helping anything.

    Er... all he's doing is joking that he's married to an English teacher, so hopefully his grammar isn't too bad. I don't think you have any reason to feel slammed for coming to his defense.

    As for sizes... in some cases, Hasbro is cheaping out. Overall it seems like the size of the various price points has been getting smaller, gradually. Now, I know that plastic is more expensive, the engineering just keeps getting better, etc, etc... but standing a Classics Rodimus next to an Armada Wheeljack... or even a Bendy Prime, is sort of depressing, y'know?

    In Animated, the sizes are all over the place, with Bumblebee standing a head over Voyager Bulkhead, and Dlx Lockdown being the tallest figure in the line so far. However, while functionally, a "fat" figure like Bulkhead may contain as much mass as a Starscream or Optimus, his tiny scale just detracts from his presence, and also clashes with the other figures in the line (fortunately they've made a Leader Bulkhead, so that's been rectified for the most part).

    Here in Canada, a Voyager runs you $30... so it's nice to have a figure that feels more substantial than a Deluxe. Weight is only part of that. But then, obviously some people take issue with that, and others don't. Initially Grimlock seemed a little small...but once I looked a little more carefully to how he stacks up to others in the line, it seems like he might be alright after all.

    And to be fair... it's about damn time we got a Grimlock in a larger-than-deluxe scale. :)
