Studio Series discussion

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Nautica I'm first in line for.

I mean, if you can beat me for it, then yeah, certainly.

I'm torn on Wheelie. Just recently got Retro (haven't gotten to open him or Outback yet), and I think what I like more here is the face... if I could have this face on that body, I think I'd be good, toon accuracy be damned.

TLK Megatron (new mold, features ability to turn into dragon mode from concept art)

More precisely, his accessories can combine to form the dragon as a companion piece to the main figure.

I kind of dig that additional detail, and that it's rooted from the concept art. That movie seems like its road to getting made was littered with ideas. Not all of them good, of course, but the prospect is fascinating.

Alas, budget concerns push me to be content with the admittedly great TLK Voyager version for now.

 

[Exatron]

I still feel like TLK was a movie that had a lot of work put into making a solid story that all got chopped down either in rewrites or editing. Stuff like the red on Optimus and Megatron's faces indicating the influence of Quintessa, suggesting she's responsible for Galvatron's receiving a new spark and becoming Megatron again. It had a similar feel of being massacred by executive meddling to Justice League. The lack of deleted scenes coming out since then suggests it was more likely lost in rewrites and there's no potential equivalent to a Snyder cut out there. Not that Bay would have been the right director for bringing out any such story anyway, but I like to imagine what could have been...

 

[Sabrblade]

It's like they took every single individual script idea from that writer's room (minus the ones that got used for Bumblebee, ROTB, and TF One) and smushed them all together to create TLK.

 

[LordGigaIce]

We just should have gotten a movie about King Arthur and his Transformers friends.

That being said, TLK Megatron is probably my favourite live action Megatron design. So this release has me very excited.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I'm interested because dragon, but I'm gonna wait for reviews.

"Megatron Prime and the Holy Grail"
With special guest appearance by Stampy
Opening Credits by Dropshot
Primus: "Get on with it!"

 

[Sabrblade]

We just should have gotten a movie about King Arthur and his Transformers friends.

As long as it was written and directed by people who actually cared about treating Arthur and his knights with dignity.

Drunk Merlin was funny enough for the less-than-five-minutes that we got of that gag. A whole movie of that, however, would feel like watching ROTF and/or the actual TLK all over again.

 

[Steadfast]

I like the idea of Red Alert and Sideswipe being different molds. IIRC the Wiki article on Romatization shows them side by side and besides being based on the same mold, there's enough divergence.

(I'm sure we'll get a Sideswioe from it eventually, I'm just saying.)

I'm a *little* disappointed Allicon isn't redeco'd, but sure, ok, why not.

Between One Shockwave, the G1 one on shelves now, Cyberverse, and the upcoming whale one, that's a lot of Shockwaves in a short amount of time. Almost Bumblebee or Optimus levels.

What's wrong with its deco that needs to be corrected?

It's a little disappointing that it doesn't come with an accessory to give it screen-accurate spikes for the snout (and if it does, why wouldn't they show that off?).

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

King Arthur and the Autobots of Justice!

He's an unfinished render.

 

[unluckiness]

I can’t wait for the finished product where he is cast in colored plastic and painted to look like an unpainted prototype that somebody handled with muddy hands.

 

[NovaSaber]

If they make it screen-accurate it will look more rusted than muddy.

 

[unluckiness]

Should have gone with Leader Grimlock’s shade of dark gray. Not strictly accurate but it looked really nice with the teal dry brushing. It’d look great with a similar treatment of rusty red.

 

[Steadfast]

Nothing *wrong*, but I already have it. It's a repack.

My lack of interest in Titan Dinobots is primarily size/cost-based, but the incredible lack of color is up there, too.
