Thank you, this pic illustrates my point perfectly. Long legs + stumpy torso = absurd proportions. There is no optical illusion. When I see Megs v2 and Prime v3... in my head, it's exactly this:

PROS - I really like the head, so props for that - The Starscream parts are comical and unnecessary, but it's cool that they bothered - The truck does look quite toony, so if that was the intent (duh), then they did a good job CONS - The bot is a panel-y hot mess. Planel lines and hinges...

Of course he does...BUT THE CARTOON..... because they were too lazy to draw wheels. Thus 35 years later, much effort has to be expended to hide them. More and more, I am learning to despise the "toon" people.

Yeah, I'll need a couple of those for sure. Anyone ever read the comic Guncandy? We need a caucasian head or two!

I think the biggest gripes were the "cheap" feel b/c he has no diecast, and the plastic tires - both legit gripes, but neither a big deal. Even the KO has rubber/silicone tires. I have the official I bought on black friday two years ago, and I agree he's fine, but nothing about him is...

If I'm not paying $500 for the 5-foot-long SW Vintage Collection Sail Barge, I wouldn't pay that much for a high-pockets prime that will be improved, KO'd ad infinitum, and replaced by a substantially better MP-50 in two years. I've never been a big fan of MP-10, but he's not so bad that I need...

Man, it's sad that I could buy Magic Square AND Transform Element and still have a couple hundred leftover compared to this hot mess. It's U-G-L-Y. I wouldn't pay $44 for the (higher quality/fixed) KO, much less $440 for the real thing. Takara is out of their damn mind.

I was thinking this might be my Prime... until I saw the picks of him kneeling. Those knees are the absolute worst. I'm just not sure that can be forgiven. It definitely pushed me toward Transform Element instead.

Sooooo pretty. I've got two of the five, and a third on PO. And it should match heights with Constructor. Can't wait.

It's not a bad figure. I have the metallic red version, and he's spot-on blaster. He's not "heavy" like a typical FT figure, but KFC did a good job as far as I can tell. I've been eyeballing Dumpyard. KFC's wreck-gar is a sweet figure, and I've always wanted the alternate deco/repaint...

I'd be tempted, but I have a garage full of jets and helo's that scream, "No more!" Plus, the F-35 is about the least sexy modern fighter I've seen in a while. It just looks like a pud, and reports are that it flies like one too. My pretend plastic military deserves better. It gives off the...

No doubt, he's got G1 all over him. I just hate his little shitbox alt mode. As a kid, I always equated the awesomeness of the vehicle with that of the overall character. Sideswipe, Mirage, Jazz >>> Hound, Ironhide. When skids came out with his econobox minivan, he got on my list of...

I had the G1 toy, and aside from Ratchet, Ironhide, and maybe Broadside, it was basically the worst. I'll admit that the IDW comics have helped Skids popularity by several orders of magnitude, and if this was the IDW incarnation, I might have even been tempted. But a faithful MP of a terrible...

I don't, but I've seen the pics. It’s a retool of the previous Titans Return Soundwave. It's a decent looking figure, but not quite G1 enough for my tastes. But then again, I dropped out of the Hasbro target audience many years ago. These days, if it's not G1 MP/3P, it's off my radar... with...

Certainly! But I prefer the incorrect toy spelling because it's the one we grew up with... and neither word actually means anything here (that brand doesn't exist). It would bug me if it was a misspelled english word, like MMC's Mirage and their stupid GoooYear tires. But "Citanes" is correct...

My "wheeljack" is white but came with a different livery. I took the notion that I'm going to have to redo all the decals after I mod the thing anyway, so why bother getting the Alitalia scheme. So I bought one with a white base with red wheels, one less thing to paint. I think it's this...

Nice, it's a cool Lancia Stratos, just not a Group 5 Turbo. I have one of those in 1:18 diecast too that I have grand plans to customize into a wheeljack. It's only 2843rd on my customs-to-do list. I have a grand plan for a whole slew of 1:18 diecast autobots. I have the lambo twins from...

Supposedly, but I haven't bought a big set from them lately. I have so many to build, and so many more that I bought for parts... but I haven't opened them b/c I don't feel like sorting. Plus, I fear that the minute I open some of the "parts" sets, I'll learn that they're made of unicorn tears...

While I haven't seen it yet, word on the street is that Mega now numbers the bags, as if Lego's monopoly on that feature has gone away or expired. So if true, that would be a mega-improvement.

I think the numbers on Trek fans are grossly exaggerated. Original fans of the original show are in their sixties by now, probably not buying a lot of legos. More modern fans probably like other iterations besides the Kirk/Spock version. I dunno, I've always looked at Trek fandom with a...
