It's Unite Warriors! Not Legends! Argh!
Meh on the Optimus set. The stacks look clunky and awkward, both from needlessly making them pull double duty as guns and from them being black plastic that perforce is only partially covered by stickers. It ultimately makes them look worse than the stock smokestacks, stubby though those are. And I despise cartoony cel-shaded window stickers on stuff like this, I think they end up looking completely and totally stupid. Like, it's one thing to use them on window surfaces that were just opaque plastic; my taste there runs more toward simple metallic color or quasi-realistic shading, but cel-shaded still looks alright in most cases. Covering up perfectly good transparent plastic with it on the other hand... that drives me bugnuts.
I wish the people at Toyhax would stop clowning around with rubbish like that and fix the G1 Sunstreaker sheet already. The lack of the headlight stickers is especially obnoxious since their use of a photo lifted from Sunny's instructions for the sticker map blatantly shows the deficiency.
The Megatron sets are alright, and aside from an instance of Cyberglow the Grand Maximus set looks quite good.

Di Bonaventura is not a credible or trustworthy source. And most fans do like the diversity push, thanks.
