I don't think it ultimately matters how it was done or if that's how they intended it. At the end of the day, the art is imitating life. I can fully appreciate that.

Energon Tidal Wave is another one that got given away when I moved. That one still stings a bit too. It shouldn't. I'm really trying to scale back my collection right now, and that's one that I can definitely do without. Still wish I still had it anyway...

To each their own. I prefer the redder purple on both Skywarp and the Insecticons. And pretty much everywhere else too.

I'd love those painted accessories, but not enough to pay for everything else in this set that I have no real interest in. Skywarp, Shrapnel, and Kickback are sidegrades at best, while Bombshell is of absolutely no interest to me at all. I'm very happy sticking with the normal WfC releases. I...

I had that Magnus, along with Final Battle Optimus and Powerlinx Jetfire. When my wife and I moved from California back to Michigan, I decided to reduce how much we had to move and gave the set of them to a kid in our apartment complex. Overall, I'm still happy with that decision, but I have to...

I still can't believe that HasTak have had two different versions of Siege/Earthrise Ravage and Laserbeak gang molded together for the better part of a decade and never released either version as Howlback and Garboil. 😫

There's one additional picture available on TFW's update that appears to answer this better: The blue side panel on his left leg can't get into that position without bending his leg forward at the hip.

Completely random thought: I really hope those missiles are compatible with the launchers used on the old Hasbro reissue. I never liked those ridiculously long missiles, but never cared enough to try to track down replacements. Since this one apparently comes with an extra pair, I could steal a...

I've always had to wonder... As much as I always really liked Overkill and Slugfest, just how awful did they have to be that Soundwave kept them locked away without ever calling on them? The only time they ever got out was when they forced their way out under Primacron's influence. They were...

I did see an awful lot of comments immediately about how awful the Thirteen are as a concept, how they have no interest in them, didn't want toys of them, etc. Admittedly, not necessarily quite as negative as the fandom is known for, but certainly a good amount of it. It's been entertaining...

I'm very old. Back in my day, media was made to advertise toys, not the other way around.

I like Crosshairs himself OK. Certainly wouldn't mind a redo with a dedicated mold that's closer to his G1 form, but I'd ultimately rather see that slot used for the many other characters that still need an update. Now if they want to pull a Spinister and rerelease him with a matching...

It's always been like that. I've lost track of how many figures I've had for years, or decades even, that I've been told will inevitably destroy themselves in no time. Random mass production flaws get magnified into critical design errors, while legitimate systemic issues get magnified into...

Geez, they're that much? 😮 Definitely glad I picked one up. Good to know I have a mortgage payment sitting there if need be. 😅

Finally cleared off a shelf for all these guys that have been clogging up my desk the last couple weeks since Slugfest and Overkill arrived.

Really want a new Predacon trio and Commander Gigatron to complete this set.

Great. I'm probably going to end up getting two to have a full set of the wyverns. 😓

I don't really care so much about whether a new toy is accurate to the original toy, accurate to the cartoon/comic, or is just a new take on things. I just want it to look good, both on its own and with its team or group if applicable. As an example, my PotP Swoop is the Red Swoop with the limbs...

For the Dr. Wu stuff, it's just Dile and Zaur that are still missing. They released Noise and Graphy a while back as "Impact Wave". I think those two have probably been the weakest of their releases as individuals, Noise especially, but I still love them and their combined mode is good. I really...

I can never get enough of these guys. I'm more focused on the modern figures than G1 these days, but I'll take more of the cassettes however we can get them. So Missing Link? Sure!
