I don't understand why such the deco departure of Flak. They are already using the pale yellow plastic for Topshot. Maybe they prefer to use paint for the head only, or it's because of mold sprue sharing. In any case, I'm going to have to paint that drab gray plastic to match the og.

 

Weird how every micromaster has \"Hartman Hips.\" Hartman Hips - TV Tropes

 

Am I the only one here who thinks the blast effects look incredibly stupid ?

 

They are my flowers!

 

They look alright I guess. I'd take them off of mine and keep them off because that's just not my thing but they're not the worst effects I've seen.

 

Till all are one!!!

 

Hmm....For a Voyager I honestly don't think he's much taller than 2.0 Cyclonus or Sideswipe, which is why the things on his shoulder's are extra long. I don't like his Null Ray's either (just look like basic guns). Not quite a dealbreaker though. In fact I can't wait to see how Classics Starscream's Null Ray's will look on this new one instead.

 

And I didn't purchase and single one.

 

Storm Cloud has elbows as a result of his transformation.

 

thats starscream right?

 

No, that's jet mode Optimus Prime....




Lol

 

Yeah,man. Give them back!

 

Ugh that starscream...

All those annoying little lines give the figure more of a lego vibe than a transformers vibe. It looks like bionicle or some weird kit that you put together. And then theres the annoying fake cockpit. Impossible toys was able to actually make it work in their tetra jets which Im very happy with even if the heads were aweful.

 

The entire robot modes of those impossible tetra's are disproportioned junk.
Let alone, the pop-off prone hinges for all of the shell assembly.

This Siege Starscream carries Marvel UK G1 Underbase Starscream style with pride.

 

The Impossible version does indeed beat this Siege Starscream on the tetra jet mode in regards to under kibble, but that's about the only merit it has objectively speaking.

For me, the thing which makes me forgive Siege's tetra somewhat, is the fact it is not a 1-on-1 representation of the way it looks in the cartoon.
It's moreso a 75% interpretation, channeling some Battle Star Galactica and Star Wars proportions & style ; hence, I am not judging it as strict, if it were blatantly trying
to look exactly like the cartoon tetra jet.

The robotmode comparison is of course NO contest.
The surface detailing is of course a subjective matter. But I suspect people who dislike it, would dislike Marvel UK G1 too:

 

Third party needs a titan-sized Starscream with this surface detailing and fosforescent paint.



Can't say I'm a huge fan of the tetrajet modes but Seekers are characters where I really prefer them having Cybertronian alt modes. With Earth fighter jet modes it's either ridiculously tiny jet mode or a robot mode too big for the rest of the line. Fantasy space jets don't have this issue since there's no way of telling for sure how large those airships should be.

There's no yellow plastic used on both figures in this pack. Actually, there's no yellow plastic used on any of the wave 1 Micromaster figures. Sand yellow on these two and bright yellow on Roadhandler are paint apps.

 

Ah, thank you, I couldn't tell from the pics. This just makes it easier for me to paint Flak, if I can't find a yellow to match, I can just repaint his head to match the yellow paint I use for his chest, etc.

 

its not even close to looking like a lego or model kit

 

Im talking about the texture of the pannels. Im not talking about it looking like a build kit. The freaking vents have vents. Some guy at Hasbro got way too excited and needs to chill out. Nobody has ever asked for more lines and tech looking crap on Generations figures. If anything, the fandom has criticized it in Bayverse. Im a Bayverse fan, but I dont want my G1 CHUG figures looking like an allspark cube.
