Nightshade was great. I liked the Kingdom Airazor well enough although I think the torso could have gone better. Did like that better as Filch though. I get the feeling I might have liked this better in different colors.

I don't think it's remotely good enough to be the definitive bird transformation forever. ROTB Airazor (the not Studio Series one) is so much better. Why isn't that the standard?
I don't think that either. I agree the mainline ROTB Airazor looks great.
While not a 'great' bird, Animorphs Tobias had some of the best wings I'd seen to that time, where they could spread, fold, even pose in both ways lifelike. BW Owl Prowl, as noted, could do the same thing, though it had fewer joints so it didn't have the same 'feather spread' ability.
Which one?
I like the geometric chevrons on Starscream's chest evoking layered robes. Just a nice detail.
Where does Optimus the Ox-and-cart rank on the list of weirdest Transformers? That's a pretty unique alt mode and I hope to see more oddball stuff like that.

I don't know where ox cart Optimus ranks, but it's one of the most creative designs I've seen in a long, long while from this franchise. And Starscream? His bird mode is not great, but between the flintlock null rays and the robe detailing on the robot mode, it's tempting.
It makes sense.
I just think it looks really cool/creative. If this is the place they're willing to go, then I'm very excited for this line. It opens up so many pre-industrial historical eras.
That's cool. I wouldn't have caught on to it at all if you hadn't pointed it out.
I wonder if this is how they'll handle the frame when they redo Predaking.
Oh, so Binaltech itself was even less "convoluted" than I thought.
And almost every actually stupid part of it was the result of later sources just being factually incorrect about what earlier sources had said?
No, because the whole idea of anything Scorponok did altering any timeline is also something that AVP made up because it was factually wrong about Japanese continuity.
I just don't like it. "Somebody 'fixed' a problem that they actually made up themselves, because they were actually just wrong about what the previous fiction had even been" is the absolute worst kind of "retcon".
Both the worst reason, and typically the dumbest end result.
It's supposed to resemble a yamabushi (mountain hermit)'s robe (which is stereotypically what tengu wear) specifically.
I think it would have been better to have made them asymmetrical instead.
It's also why he has four chest thingies instead of the usual two.
Not to mention the fact that Primus didn't die in that explosion anyway. According to Unite Warriors, he barely, yet miraculously, survived it, while Cybertron was promptly rebuilt over the next 10 years.
I placed my response in the Taxonomy thread, in an attempt to mitigate topic drift.
Anyway, we probably won't get recolours of these molds, because Same 4 Evergreen Characters, but Evil Eagle Starscream getting a Skywarp recolour leads to the possibility of a PR crossover....

Yeah right. As if Hasbro wants to do anything to do with Power Rangers.
