    Look if we gotta be honest though, that'd honestly be pretty cool. Get on it Takara!

    Thank Megatron himself for that one.

    "Having gotten his mitts on Nightbird again, Megatron brought her with him to the Legends World, where he presented her to the public as a Tera-Kura Co. ninja maid robot under the name Nightbird Shadow. To prevent her from causing any problems, he equipped her a clumsiness function that customers found adorable, leading to Tera-Kura mass-producing and selling Nightbird clones for profit. The clones then immediately went out of control and started rampaging through Tokyo, something Megatron credited to their inherently evil Decepticon souls, but were stopped in their tracks by their own clumsiness." - The absurdity that is the Legends Manga

    This was the first fiction that had Nightbird transforming, so i'm pretty sure that's why they went with it. It's a single fucking word on a cardboard box that'll be going in my closet right after I open it, I couldn't care less at the end of the day.

    I mean, I won't be surprised if we see Hasbro's MTG effort spread from there sooner or later...

    Seem pretty clear to me at this point the awkward elongated clavicles forced on Arcee were basically designed that way to accomodate Nightbird.

    Who therefore looks way better with this mould imho.

    Not even a huge fan of that episode, but Dr. Fujiyama would be proud.

    Or the continuous aluminum silver gives the illusion of a solid shoulder over Arcee's white collar.

    I don't follow this logic at all, personally. Arcee and Nightbird have different heads and chests anyway. Arcee's head doesn't have that long neck guard thingy, so Arcee's chest didn't need to be weirdly shaped to clear Nightbird's head. Arcee's chest could have been shaped toon-accurately just like @MC Rap Throne's custom, or others that are out there. They just didn't wanna.

    Not too sure about that weird "O" face.
    Mask will definitely be staying in place on my copy.

    Fair points tbh, even if I do think the design work got conflated somehow and Arcee's design was the one that wound up suffering in the mix.

    It’s not a meme. It’s a generally understood denotation across these boards to indicate sarcasm. Nothing more to understand. It’s making it obvious that you’re trying to make a joke, instead of accidentally letting some sarcasm come off as very rude. It’s polite to do so when emotion or intention can be vague in a quick moving text based communications board.
