    Thanks for the info.

    Seems a little odd though doesn't it that Scourge, Hotrod and Kup are all SS but Cyclonus and Galvartron are not?

    Going to drive MISB collectors crazy.

    Not really. Springer was Siege, Arcee is Earthrise/Kingdom, Ultra Magnus is Siege/Kingdom, Rodimus Prime is Kingdom. There’s already precedent for 86 guys in WFC

    Wish he had the soulpatch, now that I think about it it's a low-key facial hair connection to Scourge. And it just looks pretty good for the design.

    True, I just assumed we'd get another springer in a couple years after they did the rest of the cast in SS.

    Didn't know about Magnus and Rodimus being in Kingdom (falling behind on my news).

    Thanks again for the info.

    It's getting less and less likely that We get a Sureshot or Slapdash now :(

    Honestly, I wouldn't expect any of the WFC guys to get do overs in SS, otherwise what is the point of doing dead prime and the pit of judgement (both of which are specifically tied to the movie) in WFC rather than SS. SS86 pretty much just exists to plug holes in WFC

    I know he's only really been shown next to the smaller figures directly but Cyclonus looks really BIG for a Voyager. I'm really curious how tall he actually is.

    Agree with the goatie etc, the lack of that is. But easily remedied with any scrap Reprolable decal colored dark gray or black. I also gave my G1 Wreck-Gar his own red colored facial hairs using decal scraps.

    Still feels really haphazard though. Like, Jazz goes in the TFTM dedicated line but not most of the characters that actually debuted and starred in TFTM? Scourge goes in the the TFTM line but not Galvatron and Cyclonus? It's like they threw darts with a blindfold on.

    Maybe they did:lol  It is a little odd and haphazard, but at least we're getting all of the characters. The could have just picked some random ones to stick in Wfc and said eff the rest. But they decided to split the characters across two lines that way we could get more of them

    Insert "The Office" they're-the-same-picture meme.

    Because they are the same. Count the seams. Above the tip of the cockpit window, in both pictures, you have

    -Blue ears segment
    -Blue and silver paint segment
    -Silver paint only segment
    -Spike tip

    Or is the argument that something else is different instead?

    I'm hoping Jazz is in SS86 due to the cost associated with Hasbro getting the Porsche license for alt mode. Similar to how all the SS figures have additional budget costs to pay fees to the movie designers and Michael Bay.

    Ah. You are correct.

    [​IMG]

    I'm sure you'll agree though, there is a significant discrepancy in the apparent length of the alt-mode between the two images - so you can see where one might be misled into believing there was a mis-transformation somewhere.

    The factor I didn't take into account was foreshortening. In the image on the right there is significant perspective distortion. Compare;

    Transformers-Toy-Panel-2020-0272.png

    The red lines indicate the foreshortening. There is so much perspective distortion occurring (due to the viewing angle/type of lens used) that the top of the section indicated by the upper green line on the left image falls well below the top of the same section in the image on the right.

    Still, despite a minor gaffe on my part, the outcome (and my enthusiasm!) remains the same; that initial leaked image of the uncoloured test shot was misleading, and not representative of the alt-mode's excellent proportions.

    Ok, maybe this thread is the wrong place to say that, but am i the only one who's planning to get an extra megs just to repaint it as a JP t-rex? This is literally the most accurate t-rex design we ever got.
    I made a comparison with a prime 1 studio statue (seems to be the most accurate to the movie), there are some differences on megs (shorter tail, different shape for the teeth and weird lips) but they are pretty close, so...

    I'm sure Hasbro's been elbowing Universal for a T-Wrecks and and as of yet unnamed Hound retool two pack, much to Mattel's annoyance.

    I can't imagine something better than the last rhinox, not even a masterpiece. They will have to put a lot of effort on it to impress me, the only issues of the last one were the rhino head design (mostly, its mouth) and the rhino butt transformation.

    But rhinox is not even close important as dinobot. I NEED A REALISTIC VELOCIRAPTOR TRANSFORMER RIGHT NOW DAMMIT.
