Anyone else thinks the Thrust shown isnt fully painted ? Not only is the jet nose red, but his crotch plate is red ? Thats weird. I think they will hit it with black paint.
I just dont like when Third Party is being compared to CHUG, there will definitely be differences(whether good or bad), but I think that Third Party should be compared to Third Party(or MP) and CHUG To CHUG but thats my opinion of course
You could; I'd say it is more accurate, due to being soft sculpt, but they both pull off the G1 but dynamic look.
I'm fine with comparisons, but due to one being legends, and the other being a leader, you can't really directly compare them.
They definitely changed something on Kups face from the first leaked images, definitely looks much better!
Honestly i would prefer Treadshot from ER Smokescreen with a new noggin. Though yeah SG Longarm or the SG Porche Twins (Stepper & Ricochet) with Their Targetmaster Partners would be quite interesting.
Wasn't my point. I don't care about the obsession with being as screen accurate as possible to the point where you sacrifice aesthetics to achieve this goal, just to please a small section of the fan base obsessed with cartoon accuracy above all else. The DX9 version is what a good slightly updated and cool Grimlock would look like. This would appeal to toon people and also more of the general fan base.
That's the same as this one right? Rodimus Prime is coming. He's in a leaked listing, and rumors are he's next year's Commander class, since all the leader spots are already taken. Imagine ER Optimus, but the trailer is dense and packed full of features. I can see it fitting into the Commander price point, but it better be really good Grimlock is large Because the car doesn't look the same? They have to juggle the features so that it looks just barely different enough to avoid angering Porche. With the old Jazz, they just made the whole car look different, which allowed them to use a much more accurate paint scheme. This time, they opted for a car model thats very similar to the 86 Porche, so they had to change other things to keep edging the line without going past it That doesn't look any more accurate to me than this one. Bot mode proportions are way off model
IIRC he never used his blade during the G1 cartoon. Still, if they wanted "added value" to justify the price, something as simple as swappable heads with red eyes would work, or even his brain transfer helmet, lol
Hasbro designers specifically look at ways they can alter existing car body designs enough that they're legally in the clear but it's still recognizable as that vehicle. You can't copyright the basic shape of a car - it's a box on four wheels with some curved angles - but things like bumpers, grills, lights, spoilers, and wheel wells can be made distinct to a degree.
I am really happy with these. Jazz looks as good as we will ever get, and this being my first rendition of the character that I will own i am quite pleased.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! SHIIIIITTTTTT!!!! HELLLLLSSS YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! TIME TO DO A FREAKING HAPPY DANCE!!!!!! AND EVERYTHING IS ALREADY PREORDERED!!!!!!! YEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
