    The complete absurdity known as the JG1 continuity never ceases to amaze me.

    That’s true, but I was mainly talking about the Takara MP’s. Like G1 Starscream is my favourite transformer, and MP-52 is probably the best looking representation but I’m not transforming that every time I want it in jet mode or robot, you know? That’s why I like chug. But yeah obviously not every MP scale figure will be unplayable I just find that they often sacrifice it for looks (which is fine it’s doing it’s own thing).

    It's also more appealing as a retail figure. If you imagine this as the test run for a future Titan, what would look better on shelves: V-Lock, stand, shield...or the random little human friends?

    Honestly I like playing with takara MPs. Screamer is very appealing to me and my mp36 is very fun

    My guy what the actual hell is it that you’re talking about? MP is a line made for adult collectors. CHUG is the toyline. Kids still love toys b. Again you don’t have to call them toys but let’s not sever your relationship with the real world.

    I was thinking "the entire Transformers franchise." Not just G1.

    Maybe a TF Victory dub with the Vegeta actor as Star Saber planned? That will be very interesting...✌️

    Barbie dolls are just soft plastic action figures.

    Gonna cost way more than that to fund a dub.

    Honestly, I don't think the addition of colors did him any favors. I feel like it really emphasizes how thick the legs are on Star Saber by himself, and Victory Leo's arms are a bit shrimpy compared to the rest of him. Saber himself looks good, and Victory Saber is definitely the star of the show. Vehicle mode isn't half bad either. Still hoping to be able to back this, because I'd love to own this guy.

    And this being voiced by Vegeta is just a cherry on top.

    Well if we're talking the franchise as a whole, the comics predated teh cartoon by a few months so arbitrary dates are arbitrary

    16 you fool, it needs to be OVER 9000

    This thing looks fucking hideous. I need to find a barfing meme. I said what I wanted to say. I will go back to the other threads.
