    Wow. The mismatched yellow on Cybertronian Bee just looks insanely bad. I don’t think it’ll look bad from a distance, but it’ll definitely be noticeable up close.

    Dino looks really good. Definitely picking him up when I get the chance.

    It looks like an Earthrise Sunstreaker situation. It'll probably look better in person.

    Dino might as well be the Holy Grail of Studio Series on all that waiting.

    Still missing Devcon, a proper Crankcase in the form of a film accurate Berserker repaint, and Que.

    Thanks! I live in Marikina, but thankfully our house is about 40m above sea level so we didn't experience any floods here. Hope your collection is in a lot better shape than mine. :) 

    I really like looking at their boxes beside my desk, but the after the typhoon that hit us, I've decided I'm gonna store them somewhere safe now.

    I need to have more look at the vehicle mode. Because Dino's car mode looks too sleek, looks like he has too many edges and should be more smooth.

    Color matching yellow has never been Hasbro's strong suit and it's just gotten worse. The head looks good though and that's what's important .

    Good God, Marikina! I saw the news, some areas there really got flooded bad.

    Just to chime in on the prime discussion, while I’m ok with the AOE/TLK and BB designs (they’re not my favorite but they get the job done), Optimus’ design from the first 3 movies. . .

    *Chef’s kiss*

    That’s my Optimus Prime. I love that design.

    That being said though, I like that there’s a lot of variety in the different designs. Options are good, as Emgo likes to say.

    Side note, I think that B-127 is growing on me. It’s a very unique design.

    TBH both g1 fans and bay former fans randomly get aggressive when their design isn’t preferred. I just like giant detailed robot designs. I somehow enjoy both which is somehow impossible and always get called either a g1 hater or bay former hater when expressing a preference for a specific character.

    I mean, I enjoyed bayformers for designs, but the BB movie has given me designs that work far better lore wise and are more pleasant to look at on screen for me, so both are fine.

    Guys, can't we all just appreciate the movie Prime designs without putting another one down? Whichever one is better is extremely subjective. Someone can appreciate the familiarity of the BB one. Someone can appreciate the uniqueness of the 2007 and DOTM one. Someone can like the idea of a medieval knight Optimus a lot and gravitate towards the AOE and TLK designs. All valid reasons to prefer one, but you do have to admit that the designs of movie Optimus are all great for their own right.

    Mmm yes, the person with a Bayformer character figure as his profile picture CLEARLY hates Bayformers because he likes this G1 character more than the Live Action one

    Not saying I don't believe you lol, just that it's funny that someone can have that thought process when they feel "attacked"

    All these new Dino/Mirage toy reveal looks good and the celebration for it is well deserved. Now the real challenge is hunting down for it.

    Great that Dino/Mirage's invisibility device finally stopped working after 9 years...

    Cliffjumper was a really weak deluxe, so I'm expecting more of the same with B127.
    Man I hope they at least fix the tabbing issue in the legs....

    So after taking a long time looking at Dino I'm 90% ok with this figure. Like I said earlier, I give 0 fucks about the vehicle mode so it is what it is on that part. Other than that I'm praying the backpack isn't atrocious, god knows I am. Now I do have 1 question I wanted to ask everyone, how do you guys feel about the arm blades because I think they're too small tbh on top of being the wrong color. I smell a dna upgrade kit in the future.
