    I'm talking about the surface detailing: panels, grooves, screws, underlying circuitry. The cartoon character models were mostly just different smooth rectangles slapped together. Modern MP has gone for this aesthetic rather than making something that looks like and actual mechanical being.

    I guess that’s the new definition of ‘toon accurate’.

    I personally feel that if they upscaled this figure then they would have more room to pull off the things they are trying to do here, and likely be a lot less criticism.

    But they hurt themselves by putting an arbitrary scale ahead of the needs of the figure.

    *edit*
    I’ll go so far as to say that if some 4P ko company made him bigger and solved his problems then I wouldn’t rule out getting him.

    He’s a pretty solid figure.
    I think they did a decent job of blending IRL with too to give a realistic alt mode With a recognizable figure pulled from it. Granted, I think they could have made a better head for him, but he’s consistent from all sides.

    But I will concede that he could have been a little better, but they would have had to make him bigger to do it.

    That... was a joke. It was intended to keep the spirit of the conversation light and silly. I am sorry if I made you feel threatened with my humor... o_O

    This is not for me. I'm keeping my 'old' Masterpiece Bumblebee, back from the days when I liked what Masterpiece was doing.

    This person is not incorrect.

    That was a very weak comeback.

    If you're referring to the video also mistransformed. In hand you'll barely notice it I'm sure.
