I dont care if that crown can dome of, the mold is just crap, why make a huge one if the mega is already oversized?

Why make a larger Megatron when there was a smaller one available?

 

I do think Starscream will be popular though. I may be wrong with my prediction, but I hope I'm not. I don't want Supreme Starscream sittingon the shelf when a new Supreme class figure is coming out.

I am a self described G1 fan boy, and I am really surprised at the outrage over Prowl.  As far as I am concerned we are getting exactly what we asked for. We are getting a new mold. I will reserve judgement until I see better pics.  We should all know by now that Hasbro may know how to make the toys, but they sure don't know how to transform them (go figure). It looks like a really bad transformation job to me. He also doesn't really look quite finished to me. The only problem I see so far is that the shoulders and hinges makes his head look to small. So, everyone just needs to get their panties out of a bunch and wait to see how this develops.

I agree, Prowl MUST be mistransformed.

 

I like what I'm seeing from Hasbro this year. The packaging no longer is tri-lingual, so we're getting tech specs and bios back on the boxes! Plus, it helps them display the figure on the package better. I think this positive note outdoes all the bad things Hasbro is showing (and I don't really see any bad things).

:pfx

G1 Prowl's always been one of my faves and I rather like the Alt version. I think Hasbro might have not transformed him right, and he may not even be in a final production state. MAybe they rushed one off to get it to Toy Fair and the final versions will look better or have more paint apps or whatnot. I think it's just a matter of relaxing and letting the situation develop. Of couorse, I'm in for one anyway cause that'a just too sweet of a fig not to have.

You all know what would have happened if Prowl was another Smokescreen retool, don't you?

 

I really do like the look of Prowl and as it is clear that displayers cannot transform TFs properly to save there lives, I am optimistic about the final product.

 

Suprisingly, I also like the look of King Starscream, though I'd never actually buy it. And there's the thing. Don't like it, don't buy it. Something that has saved me money for years.

 

The real problem for me is that these are unlikly to be on general release over here before the next ice age and I don't have the money to buy 'em from collector's shops. If indeed they ever get over here at all. (WHERE'S MP PRIME YOU SLACKERS??!! :fire )

Whine, whine, whine. Starscream, Starscream, Starscream.

 

The sad nature of fanboy websites. More than half of you guys are just whining on mistransformed toys and redecos. I could count with only one hand the number of people who complimented about the Cybertron/Galaxy Force line.

 

This thread shouldn't be what's wrong with Hasbro, it's should be what's wrong with the fandom? Geez. People whine that there's no Prowl. Hasbro gives us Prowl, and with a new mold to boot. What do people do? Whine again. Some even want them to just do a remold of the Impreza mold, and surely more people will whine that they're just milking the molds.

 

I don't mind criticism, but how about something a little more constructive, and give equal comments on the good aspects?

I like alt Prowl. I guess no one sees what they were going for. The robot mode looks like a cop decked out in those big bulky riot armor; which IMO is a great idea for a cop car. Starscream is the only thing I was disappointed in, but we already knew about it.

Um, why would a giant robot need riot gear?

 

You know he is not a human cop right?

 

For a cop car figure the robot mode need to poseable and ready for action, not appear bulky with armor that is unremovable.

Looks like, not is. Besides if he was a robot cop dealing with rioting robots, wouldn't he need to have bulky armor so he can take a heavy beating without going down?

I guess that makes sense, but won't the rioting Decepticons run away once Prowl whips out his tiny light saber and flimsy engine gun! :roll

Whine, whine, whine. Starscream, Starscream, Starscream.

I agree, and apologise for any whining I might have contributed. On that note, I'm overjoyed with the Cybertron toys.

 

WWI Screamer

 

A good looking Prime(s)

 

Decent minicons

 

Unobtrusive gimick

 

Great sculpts all round

 

:clap :clap :clap :clap

The reason we aren't praising GF/Cybertron is because that's what we HAVE been doing for the last five months and we've seen it all before. Until these things hit the stores and more people start getting them in their hands and really appreciating them, the praising period is on hiatus. As for Starscream, I think he looks amazing but I certainly won't buy one, and as for Prowl, I think he has the potential to improve, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Also, I'm extremely happy with Decepticharger's new cleaned-up look.

Whine, whine, whine. Starscream, Starscream, Starscream.

:thumb I thought we had rid this board of fanboyness, since there haven't been many complaints in awhile. Sigh....I guess not.

My $0.02 is any TF can look like a dork in a bad pose. Sideswipe can look like crud on a stick or like a movie star depending on how skillful you are at posing him. The same is true with Windcharger. For Cybertron, I'll probaly inport GF Starscream if the C version realy looks like a monarchial retard.
