I remember the first leaked pics of Cyclonus made him look a little weird, even chubby in jet mode.
But how great did he turn out to be in-hand???
Rrrrrrrrrreal Great!!!  

Galvatron is totally looking off cuz of bad photos. He’ll probably be totally rad

 

great works!
Doubt any scrapheads in this thread bother reading it anywway

 

Stumpytron!

 

Bah, besides the dinky battle damage I think I'm happy with him. Once I see the toy / Marvel colors I'll definitely be sold I'm sure.    

 

So just to confirm: the portions are as bad as this leaker makes them seem?

 

I bet when you see proper photos you be sold anyway.

 

At this point, it’s a bit hard to deny that the stumpy look is just how he looks. Real disappointing. The torso is really wide and just way too bulky in general. The chest piece on the cartoon model is within the rest of the torso, it doesn’t bulge out like that. Arms are too low for no particular reason, the torso is short and the legs feel a bit wrong amongst it all.

What went wrong when they designed this guy? Surely someone on the team had to have said something, they’ve made better proportioned figures of most of the other movie characters, and it doesn’t seem like any of this stuff is to accomodate alt mode. The cannon mode is probably the most accomodating out of the movie designs for robot bits and pieces.

 

It is the camera and the angle. The photographer is almost good, but his bubble lens and angles are severely distorting the image in ways I haven't seen before in Transformers photography.

 

Watch after all the arguing over photos the first official ones being the miss-transformed stock photos.

 

This is the main contributor to the problem I am seeing. The shoulders sit far below what would be the neck/clavicle line, and it just looks awkward.

Is this not the case on the actual toy? Seems like a pretty hard thing to distort.

Tbh they should just reveal the thing already, to settle it.

 

I think the damage is done, simple minded people will be convinced because it is a visual, and it's hard to argue down a visual without an alternative visual. But what I said is the truth. The proportions are much better than what we are presented with.

 

It is not something that will stick out to you as much or at all with a proper picture.

 

This is me Nova being a good girl and not trying to start anything, but uhh...

Does anyone know if any of the folks who take issue with Galvatron's fake as hell battle damage were someone to argue in favor of HasLab's Unicron lacking paint- *Shot*

 

Are you reserving a place for this someone under a bus?


It was MEEE! I told them There MUST be Battle damage! And No paint for Unicron while we're at IT! Froth Froth....

 

My man Galvs got traps, yo!

 

Nooooo, I was just posing a hypothetical because I was curious to hear the argument as for why one is okay and why the faux battle damage is a problem.

 

I like battle damage, but the award for the best Battle damage goes to Netflix Deep Cover. The battle damage paint turned a mundane mold into one of most favorite iterations.

My pics:




I Galvatron's case it's Purple on Purple and I bet the camera is really bringing it out brighter than it would be in person.

 

It's okay. We still love our Insane Stumpy Overlord.

 

:flushed:

 

I love this new Galvatron!!!
