    Grey Ultra Magnus. That certainly is a choice...

    Repaint him a little and give him some decepticon symbols then you have a nemesis prime.

    If they did it would have Kingdom leader class Optimus Prime, CW Hotspot, some random SDCC figure, MW Soundwave and some random Sirtoys offering before getting to any actual repaints.

    Studio Megatron already had a premium finish. This one looks like a step backwards.

    I had forgotten about Takara's comical insistence on basing their "accurate to movie" repaints on very specific scenes with very specificing lighting. Hilarious shit.

    I think they took a wrong turn with the premise of this line. I loved their Legends line because they gave the modern toys a G1 cartoon accurate deco. And significantly improving a lot of the Hasbro offerings that had limited paint apps or sometimes parts cast in different colored plastic because of budget constraints. I hoped this line would continue the Legends approach, but instead they're doing the exact same thing the Netflix line and studio series are trying to achieve (but with a higher paint budget probably). It doesn't really add anything. It actually emphesizes the one thing I didn't like of the Seige line, the battle damage! The one thing they haven't done so far is give us clean versions of the Seige molds, that's what I'm really waiting for and willing to pay premium prices for.

    Something to keep in mind is that premium doesn't mean exactly the same thing in Japan as it does in the english speaking world. For them it's more akin to limited edition or niche.

    But does that mean I like any of these? No, not really.

    well then you didn’t bother to read the description of the line. They’re making a small sublime with figures painted to be screen accurate as possible. You guys really need to stop clamoring for legends to make a full return. It’s one of the reasons they had to do the brand unification to begin with

    people are just using their own personal definition and expectation of the word premium.

    Why do you throw away your life so recklessly?! You resist me and leave our planet dead! Think, Prime, think! Out Planet continues to rust and our people are scattered while you waste time with these insignificant pests! WHAT WILL OUR RACE HAVE AFTER 5 MILLION YEARS?!

    (I apologize for taking this image and reposting, the imagery made my mind think Invincible and I wanted to do this)

    For those who are asking, it’s not Undead Magnus. The model for Undead doesn’t have cracks on the shoulder pylons and his chest doesn’t have grime.

    The cracks and all the grime is actually on the show model in Siege. Here’s a crap screenshot because I don’t want to fight with Netflix over getting screen caps, but in this screencap I got from YT you can see the cracks on the shoulder forming.

    The real question is, was Magnus always grey because the show was so dark, or was Takara pulled a UW again where they pulled the wrong shade of a color? I personally think it’s the latter.

    then it wouldn’t be a subline that’s entire goal is making a certain handful of figures screen accurate.

    seriously that’s the entire point how are you guys missing that

    "Premium"

    you-keep-using-that-word.jpg

    ...oh well, we'll always have United, Legends and the old Movie the Best lines...
    nothing about this new line has made sense to me, from character choices to decos...
