    That photo in particular is a bit oversaturated. I have this figure and LOVE it. The red is much more muted, and the blue is darker, and unlike TT MP-10, the eyes aren't dead-looking. Also the gold chrome is fantastic :D 

    I hate the clear trailer though.

    I'll take 20 of them and put them next to the other corpses down in my basement.

    I only disagree with your statement that the mold is “not that great”. It’s a very fun little mold. The shoulder articulation adds great poses and the gun is great (not very OP, but it has dual-sized pegs).

    They clash. They look tacky, the colors dont fit the molds or characters and I honestly love them 20200913_163719.jpg 20200913_163713.jpg

    Allow me to clarify. The mold isn’t bad looking. I also like the gun, which thanks to its smaller peg hole, I ultimately gave to G1 Mainframe. My issue really lies in the fact that it’s a Legends sized toy. Prime is just one of those characters that I feel shouldn’t be Legends sized. You lose a lot by making him that small. Plus, the Roller gun is just way too overlarge for him to hold. It’s like transforming Action Master weapons. He’ll just fall over if he picks it up. Also, maybe it’s just because I keep my nails short, but I always have a hard time pulling his head out.

    That Roller has been in a bin ever since I got that at retail. I love that scale. I only wished Hasbro would’ve given us a Soundwave to go along Megatron, Shockwave, and the seekers.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that most of the Netflix siege figures are inferior to their mainline counterparts. The battle damage just looks ugly. It looks like someone decided to throw large amounts of black completely haphazardly.

    I'm not fond of the movie accurate AOE dinobots either. They're just so damn boring. Who thought it would be a good idea have them all be grey in the movie?

    One I REALLY hate though is Nightprowler:
    He just looks like a stealth themed Cheetor. He even still has the yellow!

    One note I think, is that movie Crankcase is actually a pretty neat homage because Cybertron Red Alert has those flip out guns which are similar to the old Crankcase’s Triggercon guns, but I do agree that it being a straight repaint kinda sucks

    i mean, i'd probably have to say Prime Dead end is a garishly ugly repaint/remold. like eye searing. took him out of storage the other day and was like what the hell kind of person thinks of this hideous color scheme. But goddamned if he isnt one of my favorite repaints of all time, and one that sees me messing around more with him than wheeljack.

    On actual hideousness that i do not enjoy, that would be TFCC Circuit, from the Axor redeco of lockdown. Rotf Lockdown is one of my favorite Rotf figures, Axor is eh, but circuit just... no thank you.

    Yes, I know it's an homage to Machtackle. It's still ugly as hell.
