I think some of the appeal is the ugliness, but it's definitely not for me. It just looks like releasing old characters in worse colors to me. Toxitron himself is one inconsistently colored cab away from a buy, though. That was one I was sure I would get... maybe on sale if I can find matching paint.

 

The 90's were a really weird decade, for some reason ugly was "in"

 

I guess it has to do with when your nostalgia hits. I bailed on joes when neon and bright colors made it impossible for them to camouflage. I also passed on G2 because they were not in the colors I wanted. Although, I did get Bumblebee and Beachcomber. And, I got Sideswipe as an adult as part of a lot and liked it. Although, I still don’t see the appeal of these upcoming decos at all.

 

Probably not unpopular but I haven't heard this yet so,
G2 prime mold should have come with a real blaster of some kind. Anything would do. And could easily been made to store inside the trailer.

 

I wouldn't say "ugliest," but also not my thing. I know a lot of folks like 'em so can't hate on those folks.

Everyone has their kick.

 

I think that’s the point with that deco.

 

Ugly is a strong word. How about garish? Garish was in. And that was really only during the early 90’s.

 

Myself, I'll never understand the appeal of the neon colours stuff and these aren't for me either, then again, some argue that they like gappy empty toys that look like crap...

 

i like some of the unfiltered chaos of the colors. its striking and unafraid of being so

 

It was an era when we wore clothing with colors so loud they could be heard inside a bank vault...

 

LOL Not gonna lie, I liked those neon colors when I was younger. Now? it hurts my eyes.

 

While there is admittedly some 90s nostalgia going on for me, I just find the different color schemes refreshing. After dozens upon hundreds of robots in shades of mostly red, blue, grey, and black, its a fun change of pace to see one in lime-green or cloud-pattern. I only picked up Cloudcover but I'm glad to see them taking a risk with some weird color schemes. However, that packaging is pure 90s Nickelodeon-style nostalgia with those bright secondary colors and oozy 'toxic' theme and I'm very into it. These might be the first Generations figures where I actually keep the packaging.

 

Bit of an unnecessary dig at people just having their fun, mate.

 

How was that a "dig".. I simply state that I don't understand why some like neon colours as it doesn't look good or right to me? That doesn't imply that they can't enjoy them.

 

 

Seriously have you ever like Transformers? You seem to only post in this thread and criticize every Transformers era. Has there ever been a line that you actually liked?

 

I like the trailer that came with earthrise optimus prime

There ls no need for that

 

I am genuinely curious. They only ever post negative things about Transformers of pretty much any era so I just want to know what era they actually enjoyed so much that nothing else is good in comparison.

 

I think it’s fine to focus on the positives and negatives of the toys or the media, but when you turn the focus to an individual on the boards, you’re breaking the rules. No personal inquisitions.

 

Asking someone what era of transformers they actually do like is breaking the rules? What lol
