To be fair, many of us are going to have to wait for the inevitable repack in the new line since stores (even in normal times) NEVER get in last wave stuff so the only way to get one is to preorder ahead of time which Hasbro has explicitly disallowed in this case.
so….
What the fandom wants and what the franchise needs are often diametrically opposed.
Joe needs a Beast Wars or 2021 MOTU level reimagining but the fandom wants $230 Haslab Skystrikers and Hasbro would rather keep pumping the captive market until they physically can’t which is still likely...
It’s bullshit that (for example) G1 Shockwave gets to be noseless and grandfathered into the G1 aesthetic because “that’s how he looked before!” but the same courtesy is not extended to the Prime characters.
The body construction is definitely enough. No nose isn’t suddenly going to make them...
Given Menasor’s appearance in the cartoon and Motormaster’s whole ass trailer; he is uniquely able to pull something like that off.
You can’t get away with that with the others though.
They don’t even make sure figures are transformed correctly for back of the card photography before they print 10,000 for distribution to stores.
They sure as hell aren’t going to photoshop pictures like that.
I don’t have the money to spend on a Black/Gold Zord Ascension Megazord anyway but VERY disappointed Hasbro is jumping on the planet destroying scam that are NFTs
Jazz and the Datsun Bros have rounded chests. G1 is “boxy” but you can do that WITHOUT making it look like a robot put their arms and legs through a delivery box.
This Bulkhead is basically akin to repainting that Skids as Jazz. Yeah, it’s got some of the original callbacks (protruding chest...
This Bulkhead is less “Beast Wars 10th Anniversary” Megatron and more “Armada Dinobot” Grimlock”
Which hey, veracity of “based on” and “inspired by” G1 Grimlock notwithstanding if I really wanted a G1 Grimlock I’d be pretty disappointed with that one…
That’s so bad.
I think Prime is VASTLY overrated but that’s flat out insulting for fans. It’s some GDO level bullshit. Makes me think Prime Arcee is just going to be an Arcee head on friggin 2010 Wreck-Gar…
