Hmm.... So I think I know why this new Needle Nose's engineering isn't all that authentic.

It borrowed a little from a certain Ultra class mold.

 

No I agree with you 100%, the haslab does pretty much everything I’d want a Star Saber to do. This was just me being curious how things would’ve played out. I’m sure it was a good thing he didn’t appear in that cartoon, like how it was a good thing my two favorite combiners didn’t appear in Combiner Wars.

 

Hmm..since I have 3 Impactors thanks to 2-packs maybe it’s time to repaint one into a junkion. It’s got a few spikes and some attachable weapons too.

 

wouldn't it be more efficient to say needlenose borrowed from, uh, himself

 

It would be a very heavy retool...

How many junkions are upcoming? Was it at least two deluxes and another Voyager?

 

He looks so good 

 

These new Junkions are the best new characters of the year.

 

And probably the only new characters.

 

It makes sense to me? Look at this:



Imagine doing it the other way around, where the plastic is all that beige color and they tried to paint all the things that are gray instead. See any difference between the two kinds of areas? The beige areas are smooth, while the gray areas are multifaceted and spikey and have all sorts of corners. That'd be a real B to paint. It's incredibly more efficient to hit paint on the smoother areas rather than use up way more paint operations trying to get in the nooks and crannies of the various grates, spikes, and bolted panels.

 

Head kind of reminds me of Impactor. Cringe at the hollow back of it though.

 

Hmm.
He def doesn\'t look as cool as I first thought, but eh. I still really, really want it. 

 

I was going to mention this, too, after I saw a couple of other comments about the Voyager Junkion bike scale.
Hell, the only reason I bought Prime Universe Arcee was to use her as a base for a custom Nancy on account of most Junkions having that excuse for the oversized alt modes.
Normally I detest having cycle-bots next to car-bots because of the scaling issue.
I hope to some day have legends/core class solutions for all the cycle-bots in my collection even if most of them have to be customs.

 

Why do people support prime Vs prime??? These are always stolen figures and it\'s obvious 

 

Paramount invited him to a rise of the beasts event. If hasbro truly cared his channel would be long gone. Plus, who's he hurting?

 

Why do people care if he buys his figures in back-alley deals with a (probably) under-paid factory worker in another country?
You don't actually think this sort of thing happens on a scale that it would even register on Hasbro's bottom line?
If Hasbro doesn't care, why should anyone else?

 

The guy is SUPER passionate and positive about Transformers. He does 1000x more for positive promotion of the brand than anything Hasbro or Takara are doing. I've bought a lot of figures based on his persuasive videos that I would have otherwise passed on, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

The only thing I would change if I was Hasbro, is giving him the figures directly so he could do his thing more legitimately but overall......no one really cares that much.

 

Go post it in the review thread where members on here have bought Legacy Breakdown from dodgy ebay re-sellers.

Yeah really this.

I don't even like his reviews that much (compared to others like That Toy Guy/Jobby/Thew), but twelve times out of ten I'd rather see figures revealed like this than set against some terrible plastic diorama under gaudy orange convention lights/

 

Even so, if the poster art is anything to go by, I'd say it's a fairly good assumption that Scraphook, the car and cycle are going to be the three Deluxes. It'd especially make sense for the muscle car to be closer in scale with Scraphook's alt as they'd likely want them to be able to interact with the whole swappable vehicle parts idea.

 

Because I couldn’t care any less about a toy that was bound to be thrown away/destroyed being taken.

 

I was considering bringing up that exact point as a possibility.
For all we know the poor schlub that sells them has to build it themself out of reject parts.
