    This guy is awesome, but could they pleeeeeaaaaaassssse resume painting the rims on the wheels? Looking at GDO Hot Spot, it's become a very glaring omission on every single CW Transformer from Hasbro.

    I wasn't expecting Hot Spot to be taller than Silverbolt. I like it!

    Every single?

    So what about Dragstrip, Breakdown, Offroad, and Dead End? Also, utility/emergency vehicles like Hot Spot don't always have silver or chrome rims. (depends, of course)

    Okay, can they start painting the fucking rims on all the ones they don't? Jesus. They also may or may not have blue rims. Are you seriously calling me out while defending the new and latest lack of paint apps?

    I'm just pointing out that not every figure is without painted rims, and painted rims have been hit-or-miss since DOTM. Hyperbole never helped anything. No need to get angry at me, either.

    You can't say they've completely ditched painted rims when they clearly haven't. (and FWIW, I was thinking of DOTM Sentinel Prime, another firetruck, who had black rims in real life)

    I love this thing and to me it looks better without fancy painted wheels.

    Galleries like this make me sad.


    ....because my Hot Spot isn't here yet. Optimus is keeping the Protectobots company... except for Groove; who has no idea how he's supposed to be abreast of things.

    A lot of vehicles (especailly trucks) do tend to have black rims as well. Some people seem to paint the rims on their cars black as well (irony)

    So, cannons, and a slight retool for Onslaught for sure. Then a new head and slight chest retool for Sentinal Prime.

    Am I the only one who's reminded of Hot Spot's War Within Cybertronian mode when I look at that fire truck?
    I assume it's based on a real truck though.

    This Hastak version is simply beautiful & for lack of a better word more...graceful lol? The poseability & likeness of it's G1 cartoon version (blue head) is truly spot on. Another home run for the CW line!

    Unlike this oddly proportioned 3P version of it.. :puke2:

    That's cool and all,but I have to say I'm far more I interested in the mold as Fire Convoy and Onslaught.

    Funny how you post that - because all of HasTak's reveals made me run to get the 3P versions :) 

    Was going to mention how hideous the official version was, but bit my tongue - then seen your comment and couldn't help myself :x

    HasTak White Knights a-go-go!

    Okay, swap the ladder assembly for a SCUD-style ballistic missile and we've got ourselves an Onslaught, y'all.

    I don't know....that third party Hot Spot kind of looks like crap to me. To each their own I guess.

    The TFC one is trying to have a transformation more like the G1 toy, and yeah I think it kinda fails.

    How is it preferring one thing to the other and explaining the reasons "white knighting" or is it because it´s easier to strawman the other side? :confused:
