    See I get what your saying but I feel like the original’s tail is sligjtly better done, maybe because it’s slightly curved at the end instead of being straight.

    But again as I said above I think the way those back legs are positioned is causing the tail to look weird. If the back legs where down more, the body wouldn’t look as high up and the tail wouldn’t be as weird.

    I don't know that you could angle the body any differently. Because of the angle of the tail, making the body more horizontal may mean he's standing on his tippy toes at the front.

    Maybe, but I think it’s possible to angle him differently, mainly by moving the leg slightly back and the gold part of his leg sit better on the ground (more accurate to how he stood in the show). I do wonder if maybe the tail can lay better or sit better but Chefatron missed it.

    I have seen and used to own the original. This still looks weird. Something is off about it.

    I don't know...to me he looks the same height as the other Dino's, and Prime looks to come to just below Grimmy's eyes.

    Whatever height difference Swoop has is negligible, definitely not enough to warrant being put in a Voyager slot which would have a much greater size discrepancy.

    Functional parts vs decorative parts would be my guess.

    Swoop should be Leader too. Big fat ptero with a huge wingspan.

    He’ll definitely be a Leader.

    Well put.

    While I think getting annoyed by Hasbro changing the names is a waste of time at this point, getting annoyed that other people are still using their original names is some next level stuff.

    Very few transformers toys have the character's name on the toy itself. I call them whatever version of the name i feel like :p

    Correct, but Slag is one of them. You must call him “Autobot.”

    Same. We definitely need a new Thingybob in Legacy. The last version from the Zippyvroom installment hasn't aged well.

    Thread Winner.

    Exactly. Call them what you want, but don’t get on people’s shit when they call them something different than what you prefer.

    Exactly. CW Blastoff (the orig Firefly repaint) will forever be Wash Out for me, disgraced Aerialbot who switched sides.

    Lol, I like the half-insult name someone came up with: "Jet-Off" :)
