    I transformed my ROTF Jetfire back into its jet mode and compared it to my Siege Jetfire. Transforming ROTF Jetfire isn't that pleasant of an experience for me, with the alt-mode panels didn't really want to pegs together securely and the tight ratchet joints makes positioning the limbs for the transformation not that fun.

    A comparison of both Siege Jetfire and ROTF Jetfire in their respective jet mode:

    Interestingly, ROTF Jetfire in jet mode is actually slightly longer than Siege Jetfire's despite being shorter in robot mode. They both has great shelf presence in alt mode however.

    I am more interested in Astrotrain's weapons than the figure itself.

    I like 3/4 of the heads. The only one that I don't love is Lancer.

    I am gonna have to dig out my Henkei Ravage, because Siege Ravage is way better paired with Barricade.

    I am. But you are not. Because you will be replaced soon by a better version. ><

    I didn't mean it in an offensive way...I would reccomend making the transformers look luke they're standing...some of them are really good and some don't look like...take this as constructive criticism

    Because you're looking at them on a small screen. You're not going to notice a grainy photo at that size, but when you put it on a bigger screen, you're going to notice a quality difference if the image isn't clean and sharp.


    If you're going to continue to make them, then you need to be open to criticism about them. I've thought they were poorly superimposed and don't even try to look like they're actually in the shot without any light blending. Or sometimes the pose/angle is awkward.

    constructive criticism is fine and welcomed, but your criticism was just "I don't like it" not "if you do this differently it would be better". Also, look at something I made a year or two ago, big improvement since then

    Yeah, I know about the small screen/large screen issue. That was more for @transfan32.

    Also, because you didn't quote him in your message - if the last part was about photo's I do - that's fine. But if you wanted transfan to know that you should quote them in the post.

    Absolutely phenomenal write up. Great pics as well

    One thing of note and it's not to you specifically but to everyone that has said this so far. Barricade's head is a pretool of smokescreen. They used smokescreen's head sculpt for barricade. It just so happens that barricade was released first. It's similar to the TR megatron/blitzwing set up. In fact smokescreen was shown and confirmed before barricade so take that for what you will.

    Sorry about the mini rant.

    I'd say there are some hits and misses. Not all of them are bad IMO. Some are quite good.
