    Thank you, sir...this is the perfect third-party review for me. I want a review that's straight and to the point...I have a nice size comparison pic to judge scale by, simple observations and frank criticisms. I've been considering possibly getting into the third-party game, as it were, and I'm somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of companies and respective figures, so I want to make an informed decision if and when I get one. Great review, my friend...it's not a glowing gush-fest, nor is it a rage-filled tirade, just perfectly objective, slightly impartial, and pleasantly informative.

    Legends Arcee is more G1 cartoon accurate but some fans are turned off due to how the anime colors look more bland comparing to the IDW version (Hasbro). I don't mind it because I prefer more G1 cartoon colors and the face imo is much better than the Hasbro version. But get either one, she is very fun to play around with. Sometimes a little too much.

    Swordfighting Shockwave didn't work, so now Magnus takes a cue from his predecessors and breaks out the big guns. :)

    As someone who spends most of his work day in photoshop, yes the quality of your initial pictures 100% matters. While PS can do miracles at times, it has its limitations when it comes to the source material.

    Glad you are enjoying a fun tool. Keep it up.

    Generations Springer will stay on my shelves because I'm more IDW oriented on my shelves, but I'll still buy the Siege in case I make a 1986 movie shelf.

    I've got PotP grouped with the other Dinobots. I never displayed the FoC one. And then I have it in my little headcanon that when Grimlock gets all genius he reformats his T.Rex mode to be more scientifically accurate, and that's where I get Classics/Henkei displayed with Computron.
    Like a lot of Generations figures within the past 5 or so years, it depends a lot on whether you're more into the IDW designs or a more G1-looking figure. That said, we'll have to wait and see how good of a toy the Siege one is and the T30/Generations is one of the best figures of that period.
    Better. I just replaced the Hasbro one with the Takara that I finally broke out of its box, and now I'll likely be replacing it with the Siege version.

    I don't know why, but this is one of my favorite shelves. There's no theme to it, and not much thought went into putting these figures there. I just started putting figures where they fit. But something about it just screams awesome to me.

    Hello guys!

    Ive been searching without any success for a size comparison picture for lg-ex god ginrai with any of the titans metroplex/ fortress or with devastator.

    It would be really helpful if someone posts a pic from their vast collections. Kind regards

    The only way I'm replacing the T30 version is if a Reformatted version of IDW Springer is released, assuming I like it better. Siege Springer looks nice, but he's G1.

    I think Optimus looks the best with Cog attached. :)
