I’m mostly surprised they didn’t try to retcon him into the Dinobot somehow. also that the IDW Beast Wars comics weren’t some kind of fever dream.

Jill hasn't changed clothes since Raccoon City. Nasty.

To be fair, anything 3D printed bigger than a couple centimeters turns out jive. Also, PMOP may have the most low-effort character model ever. They couldn't even get the left to match the right. It looks like it may be smoother if you don't go base mode.

I get that it's a way to up the tension but god, is Fatal Frame's overly clunky movement annoying. Makes OG Resident Evil's tank controls look like olympic gymnastics

Aside from the odd choice of using screws and pins to lock transformation stuff (which might end up a problem down the road, IDK), I don't see what's particularly bad about it. Lots of accordion panel folding or maybe the head panel I guess? Not great but it's not horrible.

Dumb decision to sell the trailer alone aside, this looks pretty good. It even has the weirdass grill face from the comics, a decent base mode and some semblance of trailer space. Terrifying-looking ab crunch though.

Why is Cheetor clearly a tiger?

The vans already have very posable arms by G1 standards, all they need are elbows and wrists. It shouldn’t be too hard to get leg articulation out of it if they put in an actual pelvis instead of the 2D facade the original toys had.

Probably because the transformation is terrible. Seriously, Look at this crap. At 9:50 and 12:00 Dude has to do a bunch of steps in a very specific order, including moving stuff only partway, flipping a panel then undoing the first step, moving another panel, then moving the first part all the...

I don't think it was unreasonable to expect them to come up with a new chunk of trailer that does something more substantial when they decided to engineer new hips and thighs to make Menasor arbitrarily taller.

I didn't realize that the non-Earth IDW characters even had alt-modes. You could tell me all they served at Swerve's was Nucleon and I'd believe you.

There was that company making chibi citybots with optional kits to de-chibify them. That company making cubeformers also teased one to go with their trypticon. That said, at 18 inches, this new one is about as small as I’d expect a Metroplex to get since it's designed for legends class toys...

This thing has my interest. It's jam-packed with features, looks great and if the listed price is to be believed, relatively affordable. It's a tad short for titans but eh, at some point, scale just doesn't matter.

They really should have done so for the toy version.

Sticking a handle on the box doesn't solve the problem of it existing in the first place. It's also an absurdly unwieldy thing and will probably do a number on the elbow joints.

I find Bumblebee to be the most egregious. Megatron just needs a different cannon, Prime just needs mudflaps and maybe gap fillers and Barricade's kibble is more or less where it's supposed to be, just bigger due to restrictions of three dimensional space. I don't think there's any easy solution...

It’s a neat novelty but a full line of this would be pretty hard on the eyes. The G1 toys for the most part were hideous and adding articulation would probably only highlight the jacked up proportions.

Holomatter avatars just mean less screen time for the giant robots in the giant robot movie. They don’t even have the stakes of sending in the human partners to do stuff since they don’t really exist. Not a fan. it’s just human sidekicks with extra technobabble.

Just using the toy car decoes works wonders. The cartoon cars were all bland and monotone as hell aside from breakdown and using the more visually interesting truck stripe helps Motormaster. That said, this menasor having the dumb gun tower is a big turn off for me so I’ll pass unless it’s on...
