Janpanese TF Prime colouring in contest

Composite Ghost · 08-01-2012, 10:29 AM

I think that Robotmaster coloring contest was an insult to both collectors and kids. There must have been people who actually put effort into creating an original, visually dynamic color scheme, and picking this Prime as the winner must have been a real slap in the face to them. That thing was more like an Unlucky Draw.

I think its cool to have an actual kid win the coloring contest, cause after all, these are toys aimed at kids, and its nice to see the judges of the contest realizing that. I actually enjoy the wacky colors.

From the context of masterfileblog text, this contest seems to be open to both adult and kids. Since there are two winners, I hope one for kids and the other for adults

I like wacky ones, too

^ What Galvatron Rage said haha

I wonder if some kid will bust out a bunch of Copics or something and go all out in coloring their entry. Either that, or PhotoShop.

Contests of this sort should award prizes to candidates in different age brackets

Maybe it's just me being me, but couldn't you just cut out the middleman and mod an actual figure yourself to your liking? I personally aim for show accuracy and super detail, but you'd be getting your design, and it'd technically be "rarest of the rare" seeing as you hold the only one in existence. It's just how I see it. Still a cool contest.

"and it will be some crappy 5 year old kids color scheme that dont make any sense that will win." is what my brain was trying to say before I interrupted it and said making your own was much more fun and satisfying. Agreed. But it does make sense if the plot was Bumblebee going undercover by being repainted that way, which admittedly was a good disguise. No autobot would EVER look THAT crappy.....right?
