There's that poster again...and again I'm drawn away from everything on the left to everything on the right. -

Why couldn't this be Prime? :tfsad -
Kids Logic Megatron Teaser Image Reveals More Than Meets the Metal

Can't wait to see more! -
Hey, most third parties cost you 'an arm and a leg!' :sneak But if it's what we want, it's what we'll buy (or find a way to). :beer

I don't really mind that they 'don't look like the originals'...and I'll give you that out of the entire line the Dinobots look the best. That's not my beef. It's really everything else about them... Dinobots are probably the more interesting designs, but HIDEOUS colors that, from the previews I've seen, aren't accurately portrayed in the slightest. Hound with the wire beard...gimme a break. Drift looks like something out of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Galvatron and Lockdown really don't look all that menacing. The overall aesthetic is something different that we started to see creeping in. When the movie line began, the designs were somewhat humanoid, but still maintained the 'robot' feel. RoTF, though perhaps the worst movie of the bunch, really pushed the envelope in some aspects of the robot design (wheel-formers, crawlers, etc.), but then there were the Twins and Jetfire. Then in DoTM, we started seeing things like Que and dreadlocked Cons. Now half of the designs look like they're pulling pictures of human beings off the web, skinning them with a robotic texture, and then giving them names that don't particularly matter (especially in the case of the Cons). And speaking of, again, where are the Cons?! Lost are the designs like Blackout or Bonecrusher...or in some cases, even Barricade. Yes, I'm mostly focusing on Decepticons, because that's where my biggest disappointment lies. I don't know if we ever really got an adequate Megatron, but this Galvatron is doing nada for me. Just not really feeling these particular Bayformers. Anybody feel the same? :shrug

Review - Transformers 4 Age of Extinction Voyager Galvatron
formerly nortagem replied to ExVee's topic in News
Yeah...wouldn't Scourge or Nemesis Prime be more accurate? I've utterly given up on trying to make sense of Bayverse. Please, share your speculation...you can't ruin it anymore than it's already been. :shrug Btw, went to my local Target & Walmart tonight, they had a slew of AoE figs...not a con in the bunch! So besides this Galvatron that doesn't look like Galvatron, and a Lockdown that doesn't look like any iteration of driving around in a ship that looks familiar, what's that leave for bad guys? Humans? :lame -
Transformers 4 Age of Extinction - Advance Tickets Available Now
formerly nortagem replied to RAC's topic in News
Thus far...in no hurry. -
I'm gonna go out on a limb & answer 'nope' on that last question. It's difficult enough getting decent products out of them these days, particularly while Bayformers persist. I don't think they have the slightest inclination to create an MP combiner. We'll have to keep depending on third parties doing it...and if you're limited on funds, myself included, missing out. :tfmad With you on Motormaster setting the tone for this set, though. The models above appear more integrated in an 'old school' fashion, more so than the Causality version. Like this direction. :thumb

San Diego Comic-Con 2014: Knights Of Unicron Set Revealed, Sure Is A Thing
formerly nortagem replied to RAC's topic in News
HAHAHAHA!!! Apologies ahead of time, but this is the FIRST thing that came to mind... :hbang -
DITTO! Just went to the store a bit ago to pick up something else, decided to peruse by the toy aisle, and, wow...what garbage. :tdown Terrible aesthetics - enough with trying to make robots look like humans! Crap transformations - I get the gimmick, but this combined with the terrible aesthetics just make them look like junk. Decepticons? - Yeah, where the hell are they?! Also, we should've known better than to scream about Dinobots for the past two movies, because once again, what Bayverse/Hasbro is giving us ain't what we wanted. :doh

Video Review - Generations Legends Class Skrapnel and Reflector
formerly nortagem replied to ExVee's topic in News
Great review! Skrapnel looks awesome, and I so hope his teammates are produced. Really still wish Reflector got the proper treatment, it being the 30th Anniversary and all, but, oh well. :shrug
