A lot of fans seem to prefer the animation models of certain G1 charcters to their toys. The main examples being Ironhide, Ratchet, Swindle, Galvatron, Reflector and the Seekers.
To this end, most of us clamour for the likes of the Classics Seekers and Jetfire to mention a few. Trust me, I love my Encore Ironhide and Ratchet since I got the custom clip on heads and the reissue Anime Bumblebee from a few years back. However, to me some Transformers actually look better in toy form. My examples are as follows: Menasor Motormaster (I hate his bland, boring animation model's head) Dead End Dragstrip (I'm actually 50/0 on this one) Ultra Magnus Hot Spot High Brow So what do you guys think? |

All the G1 Autobot Targetmasters looked a hell of a lot better than their animation models. Particularly Pointblank.

Animated Safeguard, just the combined robot mode.

Rebirth models, since the Headmaster models basically are the toys. But the difference right there kind of makes my point. -------------------- Fall of Cybertron will blow your mind. That is all.

95% of the Animated toy line (there's the obvious ugly ones like Blitzwing and Cybertronian Megatron)

(Althought, I might notch it a bit back from 95%.) The animation models weren't all that specific on some of their points & didn't really depend on really being 3D. The toys did a good job of representing the characters to the best of their ability, while also fixing the shortcomings of the animation model. So yeah, in general, the toys were better than the show models. Kevin -------------------- My FlickR folder...
And yes, I was too lazy to come up with a decent TF related forum name, and just *GASP* used my own. |
