Got my first 2 movie figures in today (the protoforms) and I started to wonder.

 

I am sure you all noticed that the Autobot and Decepticon symbols have changed. The eyes have been modified and I personally feel the Autobot symbol looks a bit evil.

 

I think they should not have done so as it leaves me wondering if the "classic" symbols are gone for good or not. If they restrict these to the movie(s) I am ok with it but the Autobot and Decepticon logos are classic logos. And enough is being changed already. :tftongue (Not that I mind- I love the movie designs! :thumb)

 

What do you think?

Don't forget that the G1 logos changed several times during the G1 era anyway.

Pictures, please?

Not to mention G1 Megatron's infamous "Happy Insignia".

Who can forget that!

 

I think these new designs are going to be strictly for the movie. I don't think Hasbro has any intention of changing them for their mainline figures for the upcoming series.

I haven't noticed a difference in the symbols, and my movie toys are not near me now. :( Anyone got comparisson pics?

I think they look like the regular TF symbols, but just...matured.

I would say the most changes were done to the Decep symbol. The Autobot symbol looks pretty much the same except for a few angle tweaks here and there. The Decep symbol has had major changes all over the place.

Yeah, that's what I thought they looked like. I'm shocked that anyone would consider those "new faction symbols". They're really just taller, at most.

I guess Michael Bay thought that the classic autobot symbol was too sissy looking for his movie :tflaugh
