Haha agreed, this is one MP I should be able to buy off the shelves!

 

This! Way too much red.

Dammit.

Oh well, one of these days I'll grab the Takara one. No rush. I could live with the brown head, but WTF with the red?

PINEAPPLES.

 

Don't even mention Starscream. The way this is going, he would have blue underwear, purple eyes, and a white helmet.

 

FAO: Whoever it is at Hasbro that is repsonsible for colour and paint selection

You are pure, concentrated garbage and literally do not deserve the job you hold. Get the fuck outta here.


Okay, that's possibly a tad harsh but jinkies, they just consistently don't seem to have a goddamn clue, zero understanding or appreciation as to what looks aesthetically pleasing and well applied.

 

And something that should be a kid's T-shirt design on his tail fins.

 

Wow. Ugly and mistransformed.

I passed on Acid Storm, looks like this is a pass too. Brown helmet? BROWN? What is he, some sort of WWI combat pilot? Give him the goggles to match then.

Bio should read:

Fly too close to the sun and you'll get burned. Get too close to Sunstorm, and you'll suffer blindness from his ugly-ass deco. The maniacal warrior's radiation-emitting armor has the power to melt the metal of nearby bots and home appliances, disabling their circuits and scrambling the brains of those who purchase this sack of plastic like scrambled eggs in the process. Some might say this is a quirk of science - a glitch that triggered a reaction when Sunstorm was turned to shit by Hasbro. Sunstorm himself would say it's something more: a gift from Hasbro that he must use on those who sit and cry foul and things are RUINED FOREVER. That might be a little much, but do you really want to argue with him? Autobots beware, because the ultimate Decepticon flier is on the hunt for someone to be stupid enough to purchase! He converts from robot mode to fighter jet mode, and in either mode he's piss-ugly. His canopy and nose cone open in jet mode and his hidden missile pods deploy when he gets an Autobot in his sights! Set him on the toilet. Get a high-flying Decepticon with incredible battle features buy purchasing something else! Masterpiece Grimlock? Good luck finding that shit! Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

 

Omegax80 wins the internet.

 

That....is....AWESOME! 

 

Deco bad. Hulk no like.

 

i'm getting the feeling that hasbro is color blind.

fine.. you want to color AOE hound the wrong color, drift the wrong color, grimlock the wrong color, the rest of the dinobots the wrong color, evasion prime the wrong color.. but this is a serious collectors item.. i don't think anyone can argue that.. and to give him a brown head and dart board color placement is just wrong.

this thing is BEGGING to warm the shelves. i know we've seen shots of the upcoming hasbro version of MP prowl.. but now i'm wondering if he'll be flat grey.. or beige.. this is just wrong.

i would love to know what they were thinking.. this definitely isn't a "it's a kids toy" "we thought these colors would appeal to them" type thing.

they saw takara do it the right way.. hell, they saw a 3rd party company pull this character off as well. this just doesn't make sense to me.

 

Agreed. Champion.

 

GOOD GOD THAT is UGLY. WTF. they kep acid storm the same in both hasbro and takara releases but not sunstorm? can't decide if this deco (if final) is going to make me givef up on sunstorm all together or track down a takara one. takara aftermarket prices are gonna skyrocket soon.

 

Action Master deco - oh wait, people might actually like that. Maybe they should just release a gray prototype and put fingerpaints in the box.

 

I think this is my favorite response ever.

 

Decepticon X; crafted from the limbs of dead seekers.

 

There isn't a Takara MP Acidstorm, not currently or announced anyway, just the Hasbro TRU exclusive from last year.

Wow, did the Hasbro rep hand that off to someone who's never touched a transformer before? That mistransformation is ridiculous

 

Happy Meal McSeeker

 

My feelings exactly.

Rep PA, JRU!

 

The hate...it only fuels sunstorm
