Actually, I meant the one in Toy Discussion needs to be moved here and merged with this one. It needed to be done hours ago.

:tflaugh SOMETHING needed to move.

What a great time to start falling in love with 1/48 Macross Valks. I won't even miss this crap line.

THAT IS F*CKING NOTSTARSCREAM!!!!!

 

 

 

It's *A* Starscream/

 

I'm not suprised, in that it was pretty obvious what we were getting. but i'm not crazy about them.

Starscream, ... will definately take some getting used to.

That's not even a Starscream by any variant means... Thats a f'cking Halo Grunt in a suit. F'CK YOU BAY!

Loves!!!!!

 

 

And I don't think we have to worry about the way the toys are being handled, The chopper and SS are sexy.

 

 

F**K YEAHS! :clap

I was afraid of fanboys clinging to much to old edifices. :clap :boogie

Seeing how often the word Transtech comes up, I'd say they are.

Ah, but you misappropriate my meaning!

 

Since Transtech was little more than idea on paper, it doesn't even count but as an ideal...I'm glad people aren't clinging so desperately to G1 and are instead embracing newer ideas.

I didn't think they would. I think most who expected G1 from this movie got a wake up call a long time ago.

 

And as far as Transtech not counting, I'd say that despite it's prior minimal existence, it made a mark, and Transtech reborn is probably the most sought after thing in some circles after G1 redux, so I'd say it does count.

 

That doesn't mean it's bad, just an old idea and design period brought back.

Apparently it's Starscream. :redface

 

Was about to call it a night but felt I had to add this. It's almost as if there's no pleasing some people. Bitchfests commence with TFs being to simplistic. (Alt Prowl/Prime etc.) and now that Hasbro takes the complexity up several notches it's suddenly like ZOMFG it's no longer G1. Yeah I know disign has a lot to with it but really what did you expect. Most of the G1 bots had 3/4 step transformations that would simply suck on film. I'm really hoping for the first time since ever the movie gives 60 second blocks of transformation for each bot and not a A/E/C blur. Also most of these designs IMO have just the right amount of vehicle kibble in bot mode. You can tell each has an earth based alt mode without having door wings or other obnoxious kibble.

 

As already said the only thing I really don't like is Starscreams head. WTF, is he supposed to be Waspinator?

you guys, first and foremost

 

THOSE ARE NOT RENDERS OF THE MOVIE MODELS!

 

they are the FINAL CONCEPTS!

 

the only renders there are of Blackout (helicopter guy), it is NOT a prototype, and of Skorponock, which is NOT in prototype form.

 

the only prototype there is Starscream.

 

don't go claiming that they are something they aren't

*wonders if he will work up a grunty thirst :schin*

 

 

Would you want to mess with that Screamer? I'd be terrified if I faced that.
