    Is this an unpopular opinion? Has it been stated a zillion times before?

    MP figures are too damn fragile.

    If it had a better head I don't think this would be all that controversial of an opinion...

    yeah, the biggest issue with them was the colors... but otherwise it's fine.

    Wait, so do we NOT want a Masterpiece Bruticus that's roughly the size of an individual Combaticon that you can display along with the rest of the Combaticons? Because that sounds great.

    I own exactly one TLK figure, and it's Hot Rod who was a remold of Lockdown. I display him with my Studio Series figures and I honestly think he can keep up in quality even if he isn't 100% movie accurate. I've heard a lot of praise for even the TLK version of Bumblebee, so I'm glad I wasn't a crazy person by being impressed by the one Deluxe I had.

    Classics Jetfire is still my Jetfire, especially after I sold the Leader. Something about the mold looks more like Skyfire to me which is exactly what I prefer in a Jetfire toy (as, if I want a Valkyrie, I have plenty of options for buying a Valkyrie and have indeed bought one several times :D ).

    I'm pretty sure I've posted this in here a few times, but I absolutely love Universe Ironhide still, even considering the belief that he was a repurposed Bayverse design (which isn't an idea I completely disagree with, look at his weird legs). He was the first Universe figure I bought and the first Transformer I picked up after I took a break during most of the Unicron Trilogy, and I think he's great. I've got him hanging out with my Siege collection for now until the new Deluxe Ironhide shows up and then I'm gonna find somewhere else for him.

    Crap, yes, I forgot him. The new-mold Bumblebee is extremely good, except for the feet. The Studio Series retool fixes the feet and makes everything else a fiddly hell. (shrug)

    I don't really have much of a problem with that mold. I do dislike his window wings though. They pop off every time I transform him. It's very annoying.

    SS VW Bumblebee is mostly great. His face however, does not work in toy form and instead of being expressive, (yes toy faces can be expressive without having to change them.) It comes off as cold, unnervingly wide-eyed, and creepy.

    I think some of it also comes down to the paint too. The bright silver really washes away any of the finer details. The MPM’s darkish gray highlights it better (the sculpt is definitely better too)

    As much as I like the siege line, I think the Megatron figure is kinda meh.
    I was so excited picking him up but after having him in hand I feel like it's a meh.

    Upon closer inspection, I kinda like SS Dropkick. He's better looking then poor Shatter. If my kid likes him and he has no serious issues, I may end up getting one.

    Siege Prowl looks better than the Universe mold.

    The inner robot is the most interesting and exciting thing about the upcoming Siege leader Prime.

    People HATE the Universe mold. It's a bad toy.

    I don't. I actually want them to do a blue Bluestreak from that mold before we get too far away from it being viable.

    It's pretty good all things considered. The turtleneck look could be better but it's fun and looks good.

    I've never had any major beef with that mold, either. Doors popping off can be slightly problematic, but you can learn to work with them.

    I’m not sure who thought it was a good idea to have they door/ fender assembly on that mold. It was a huge pain in the ass. Definitely not a fan of that mold and got rid of all 3 when I saw siege prowl on the way.

    How would his transformation work?
