    It's definitely a cultural thing, in most cases. I don't know how much of a "youngster" I am anymore, but my original comment was just poking fun. I wasn't out to offend anyone.

    Here in the states, at least it was once the prominent case, having one or two very long fingernails, when the rest were trimmed noticeably shorter meant you may have some questionable recreational habits. If that's changed, then that's my bad. ;) 

    That's interesting, for sure. Not sure if it makes the two long nail choice more or less strange to me, though.

    Anyways, apologies for any offense! Carry on!

    I went to high school in a very rural area. Half the dudes in my class had a long thumb nail to slice open cans of chewing tobacco.

    That's interesting. I grew up similarly and never saw that particular "tool" used in that way.

    Gotta say, incredibly impressed by the trailer transformation. Effort was put into that, and it genuinely looks like it's better/more fun than the MP scaled offerings. Switching to legends for gestalts was a good move.

    Would love Devastator and Bruticus, but PLEASE give us Aerialbots or Protectorbots next. Hope they manage to do them all of course.

    It's my understanding that it's an Asian culture thing. Long nails means you don't do manual labor, blue collar kind of work.

    Here in the US it means you're either a Werewolf enthusiast, or finger-picking guitar player like my homie in Russia.

    Mine seems to be different, for me it is just when I see or even think about long nails like that my body cringes like hearing nails on a chalkboard, it is very unpleasant. If anyone is not familiar with that sound (chalk boards seem to be getting rarer these days) I do NOT recommend looking it up, it isn't worth it.

    The legends crew only gets bothered about people being overly negative. We love us some unrelated postings between new info/pics/videos.

    And here I was about to share that long fingernails are unhygienic.
    On the other hand, growing up I always felt other kids kept their nails freakishly short.
    Maybe they liked to nibble them.

    Come on now guys, they are affectionately know as "transformation nails".

    If one of his nostrils is leaking with a white powdery residue present, or if his pupils are dilated, then it's a whole different ballgame.

    Newage announced a "flying group and a military group" with limbs that will be interchangeable with their Stunticons. And then Zeta will shrink their Superitron to legends

    That's great news! I've yet to pick up any NA but would be keen for both sets if they toot my horn just right, and if not I know MS won't be far behind with the whole legends copycat war the two have going on :lol 

    Must say I'm not overly keen on Zeta's downsized Aerialbots as of right now. But, we'll see when the physical figures are shown off. Gone through far too many Aerialbots sets now in search of what I really want, gotta settle this sometime!

    Speak for yourself, dude. The only thing we are bothered by is when people whine against others pointing out flaws and pretending all is dandy when it's clearly not. The legends community wants the truth. We hate yes-men with fake smiles.

    I decided to use legends scale combiners in my masterpiece collection. Just because I don’t want 50cm+ pieces in my display/collection. They lose al playability because of the weight. This one looks perfect! Also cheaper then the upcoming Zeta legends scale superion!
