The character selection is questionable. If they’re not smaller versions of big guys who also happen to have better/bigger toys on shelves simultaneously, they’re absolute fodder nobodies. And that was before they flooded the size class with the core dinobots who mostly look very similar.
It'd probably look better if the colors weren't so separate, making it very clear that it's three dinosaurs taped together.
The worst part is that they didn't even bother making use of the animal anatomy for most of them. Like a giraffe head and neck could be a railgun, a spear, a sniper rifle...
I want to know why they thought this would be a good idea in the first place.
of course, it is Japan, so odds are someone on the design team’s into it.
Animated Prime’s pretty good as a figure but he could have been more. Like, his fists are attached via ball joints but get locked in place instead of benefitting from the articulation. The narrow hips and the way his feet attach also make standing him in action poses more awkward than it has to...
I don’t mind the Animated look. If I had infinite space and money sure, but it’s just too idiosyncratic. To save on space and costs, I had to draw the line somewhere and cut Animated, Movieverse and MP.
Prime got saved from the purge because there’s only like a handful on each side lol.
I get that losing features sucks but comparing a retail $200-ish toy to a $600 collector figure is disingenuous.
also firing missiles are terrible all around.
Why does Slipstream have ears anyway? The head’s already busy enough between the g1 seeker head and the added forehead crest, and Animated and RID don’t have ears either. Is this another Shadowstriker thing?
Also, Doom’s better anyway.
Only complaint about them is they have lots of ball joints that get floppy that somehow resist tightening.
edit: derp, I was thinking of the cyberjets, not the gatling gun guy
