I might have liked this a lot more if I hadn't seen Kingdom BW Megatron. I know it's fairly faithful to the original BW figure , but I wish there were more paint details on the chest and legs (even if it was of a similar colour) , and that he'd been given a different head. I guess I'll be passing on this.
He got posted in the middle of the night and is already sold out? Annoying. Transformers Generation Leader Maximal T-Wrecks (RedCard Early Access)
That’s how I feel too. I have the Megatron version and it looks great with all its paint apps. This looks a little like a downgrade due to the fewer colors. I’m tempted but I really doubt I’ll get it.
The grey chest is really bad. They seriously couldn’t at least put more silver decal there? Probably still get him If the opportunity presents itself, but that decal isn’t really screaming “premium exclusive”. Hope we get some reprolabels and a head upgrade kit. Its a shame Megatron never got another redeco cause T-wrecks colors are just silly, no offense to his fans but I never liked it even when I saw him as a kid. He stood out from the other Dinobot redecos of that line. I just hope we get Dinotron next.
He already has silver on the chest. More of it won't help because it blends into the grey plastic (which is the wrong color anyway).
I know but it could have been better than nothing. At least break up the details a little. The original color or something more dark/earthly could have been better. That grey looks cheap.
Yeah the grey is definitely the wrong color, they really messed up this release. I much prefer the original.
I've got real mixed feelings about this figure. I really like the dino mode but since I tend to display my TF figures in robot mode, I'd definitely be in for buyer's remorse.
Got mine in today, the lipstick doesn't really look nearly as bad in person. Overall it's a really nice update from the original figure
Remember to keep an eye on Target's site starting tomorrow. Prime Days is starting and Target is countering with a Deal Days of their own. That could be when this Red Card window will open.
Huh, I think the tail on my T wrecks was put on upside down. Edit : nevermind. I see you can rotate it. I thought I needed to remove a pin.
The worst thing about T-Wrecks is that his box clearly shows what could (should?) have been. The snarling face, the silver chest and thighs - all the victim of Hasbro's bean counters I guess. I don't suppose any insiders would care to comment on Hasbro going cheap on T-Wrecks?
These are supposed to be a red-card exclusive? Becuase I just got one today as I saw them stock it in store and will be opening it afterwork.
