For me it’s not that I want 2.0 of all their figures just very specifically the Datsun Brothers. After getting Bluestreak, I don’t have the desire to get another of that mold. I like the size and conceptually I like the design, but the execution is just too bleh for me to toss more money at in order to fill a couple of spots. For me they might as well go to 2.0 or just skip the other two entirely.

But I don’t have any pull about what they’ll do next. As cool as I think their 2.0 Prime looks I wasn’t looking for that one either. And yet they totally ignored my wishes, go figure.   So I feel like expressing wishes is pretty harmless. I’m mainly saying I’m impressed with their latest efforts.

 

i vaguely recall a discussion before of a company maybe having an "A" and a "B" design team, but not sure if it was MS or another 3p. but personally i feel like this one came from their "A" team if it's true, as well as Optimus 2.0 and motormaster/menasor. with the remaining stunticon limbs, datsun mold, BB and CJ clearly in the "B" camp.  

 

people say that but i dont think they were really serious about it.

MS was not a random start up. i have a strong feeling they are the old UT group. but that is for another time.

i really think all these newer updated designs just come with more time and experience under the belt.

the software has also gotten way better and so has the ability to rapid prototype.

hell look at our very own @NOCV he has come such a long way from where he started. i would put him right up there with some of the big designers when it comes to aesthetics and stuff. that is even with him having the wife / family, 3 girlfriends and the new etsy shop.

he definitely paid his dues and put in the work. but could you imagine what he could do if he actually did this full time and cut back on some of the extra women and shit.

 

I feel like I remember somebody saying that about Cliffjumper and I'd agree. If it's the same guy he obviously has some he just calls home.

 

Magic Square needs to slow down! I recently joined the Legends scale party and it's pretty tough to catch up on previous releases as well as get the new ones. I'm not buying them all but I'm growing a tiny army on my desk.  

This all started from the MS Devastator. That thing looks so amazing it made me look at their Menasor. Then Megatron etc. Although I bought the NA Seekers and I will most likely get the NA Soundwave and Shockwave because I prefer their designs.

 

I've so far avoided the legends stuff but these mini-Masterpieces sure look tempting.

 

Go MP scale Magic Square, and you'll have a buyer.

I don't think Fanstoys will get theirs out until 2033.

 

Wow... They are getting better every day. Amazing times for being a TF collector.

 

I got sucked into legends about a year ago. I like having them incase there is a day that comes that I need to purge my MP collection, that way I'll still have a tiny MP collection that can fit in a shoe box.

 

Their Menasor is awesome. I just wish they had done better faces for him.

 

My Legends collection spans several shoe boxes... It is a very deep rabbit hole.

 

Hate to do this, lad, but...

 

and better vehicle alts for the limbots.

 

Nooooo!! Not the G2 version.

 

Whoa whoa lets not be hasty. Legends are small so there is plenty of room for both  

 

ha...i have like the first 4 NA car bots and i can't even give those things away. i guess the demand for them isn't as high as everyone thinks.

 

That's right! Get in the bin with the old Fruity Pebbles!

 

I do not know how much they produce but it is not hard to get even the older NA stuff, while MS get sold out
