    Neither of these look good to me. The proportions are wrong and they're blockier (and have even less details) than UT.

    Yeah I gotta agree here. Blitzwing especially looks like his torso is huge and round and the rest looks too gangly. Good efforts for a first try at movie accuracy but neither are enough to warrant a purchase from me, especially after the insanity that is Unique Toys/DX9 elevating their game with every release.

    Dx9/UT would probably do that.

    The unknown bumble bee thread depicts a bumble bee that looks suspiciously like a UT’s take on bumblebee would

    UT is leading the pack for 3P Bayformers design (just like FT for G1 Mps).

    Personally think TW is leading the charge with their engineering and detail on the movie figures. (cant speak on quality as I don't own any but for whats released seems to be good)

    For general design I’d say UT but for robot mode accuracy and sculpt I gotta give to toywold yeah

    For me, they’re both pretty even in terms of engineering, ToyWorld probably has an edge in that department but since they haven’t released anything yet, can’t be too sure.

    UT’s sculpt for Hot Rod and Megs is way more accurate than TW’s sculpts for both their Primes. TW comes a close second, Zeta is probably 3rd place. TW’s sculpt is good, but still has catching up to do with UT.
