The 3P one's super mode shoulder pads are just...you know that shoulder pads are supposed to go OVER the shoulders right and not be floating above them?
Might've overdone it on torso day, though.
And it’s not even showing the best parts! I absolutely adore the chains inside the chest and the clusterhug it looks like from behind.
I've watched a few transformation videos and I still don't understand what problem they thought they were solving with the chains.
The same one HasTak solved with two hinges.
We need to respect HasTak more. They make this look easy, but apparently it's not.
The original Armada toy did the exact same thing. The 3P was just trying way too hard to reinvent the wheel.
Isn't that the same with most 3P and even some official MP TFs?
And sometimes they hit the mark, and sometimes they don't. Stretch Convoy there is a big miss.
Indeed. It’s just a shame that when they swing and miss. More often then not, they miss by a mile.
As to the Straxus reveal. The IDW style Straxus is…fine I guess. I;ll be honest, that like, like the IDW1 pre empurata Shockwave are interesting looks, but not very distinctive. The ‘head in a jar’ Krang look ends up looking like what is, a frankensteinian mess of parts around a head. Personally, I’d rather have a Straxus who looks like Straxus.

I dunno, there's something to said for a living transformer that instills fear in junkions.
Gotta find someway to justifty those insane price tags.
I’d chalk this one up to sheer incompetence. This company has a history of mediocre toys and makes most of their sales off the fact that nobody else is touching the characters they make toys of.
Also, I can get how some of the fandom don’t care about the actual engineering and just want a toy to plonk down on the shelf but a lot of this company’s toys also end up absolutely hideous.

Not nearly inflated enough.
