Love the colors. That gunmetal is a bit darker than usual, and it's a good look.

I'm tired, boss.

Yeah, I have the Siege one and think the same. The improvement in color scheme is the main draw. Even the current price of the set seems a solid value, and the lovely colors on Blitzwing are quite tempting.

I just keep telling myself to wait for SS86 Astrotrain, and that's working well enough. But even Starscream looks great.

If we got a whole G1 line informed by Guido's work as much as T30 was informed by Milne's at the time, I'd be very happy.

Don's try at a "movie-ized G1" style was indeed short-lived, but idk if he was doing more than the then-unsubtitled G1 ongoing at the time. This was also notably a time when the art style consistency was all over the place, with some tie-ins ignoring Don's redesigns in favor of matching with the...

I don't disagree, but the draw was unexpectedly strong to me as someone who doesn't really look for that so urgently. And Legacy Skids' lower legs are quite a bit bigger and boxier than usual, even for things like Earthrise Ironhide, which would ordinarily give me pause. But in those reveal...

I got lost partway through this and wondered why people wanted a G1 Megatron arm for RID Optimus

I don't really mind that aspect of T30 Skids, but I do have an odd fondness for Legacy Skids' huge chonky boots. Even from the first reveal photos that made a strong impression.

I agree mainly with the notion that it's more a matter of the toy design sensibilities from the time vs the actual design itself. Of course I'm glad to have BOTH a blocky G1 style Skids and the more lithe, horribly brweaponed Milne art style Skids. But there's so much spring-loaded hoopla and...

Pretty sure "Optimus with Megatron arm/cannon" is going to be way up there. Even a KO of SS86 Op is getting in on that action. Shredhead and Ballpoint have also got to be on that list. The former is even a fairly easy Skids rework.

(cue me squinting at the little G2 name tag with sigil, totally missing the giant letters) Ahhh. It's too hot today.

Okay, that's as far as that goes in this thread, please. I don't even necessarily disagree, and it's difficult to decouple this flood of crap from the pipe, but we have to start somewhere.

This was part of our April Fool's gag a while back, but maybe now is finally the time for Plastic Free Transformers.

I mean, if kids don't need 30 dolls...
