But he isn't. And that is indeed the nose cone at the front, making him look like the G1 sunbow model (though I think it's more of a necessity than a needed homage)

That would be great! This looks like a sure buy as it is.Albatross250 wrote:His tank mode looks familiar
He better have his Animated faces, and that would be instant buy!

It's that the shoulders have been changed from being working shoulders part of the arms into armor kibble now separate from the arms, no longer a part of them, which alters the character's iconic silhouette and restricts arm movement now that big shoulder pads are in way of letting his arms raise up, instead of those shoulder pads being the shoulders themselves.Emerje wrote:Isn't saying the arms are fixed in place because you have to move little panels out of the way to move them the same as saying a lot of figures have fixed legs because you have to move a skirt panel and still can't quite get them to sit? Seems like a weird complaint. Sure he can't pick his arms up over his head, but they aren't fixed.

But that's just it, it's shoulder armor, not his actual shoulders. He has articulation at the shoulder, it's just a little restricted by the armor. The shoulder armor is fixed, his shoulders aren't, they're restricted to probably 180 degrees which is fine. Doesn't really bother me much, my Transformers don't spend a lot of time trying to ask the teacher a question or flying like Superman.

That's the keyword here. "size".
We all know that nowadays, it means nothing.

All in all, not an impressive start. On a positive note, Iguanus is a really good figure and more people should be able to find Hot Rod now, I hope. Skywarp is fine, but I'm disappointed by the lack of arm blasters that are a Seeker standard. The combined sword is a thing, but I don't see many people using it. Overall, having seen the rest of Wave 01, I feel that Legacy can only go up from here.

Do you own CW Menasor? That thing is awfulZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:No it isn't.Autobot N wrote:Anything is an improvement over CW Menasor.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Assuming Menasor is worth completing.
Getting a toy based on the animation's frequent misinterpretation of Menasor's design, where rather than actually being combined... the smaller Stunticons are stuck in inflated Motormaster limbs as if they were Mini-Cons... That would be equally crap, just in a different way.
And given Drag Strip splits in half, I fear that's where we're heading.
That or it's some awkward new system where you have to split the figures in half and partsform in the combiner joint. And of course they've mucked things up by getting rid of the perfectly good CW connection system..
Yes, I do. Well, sort of - Wildrider, Dragstrip, and Breakdown are all repainted Autobots because the eBay prices on the actual limbs can go <CENSORED>. And yes, it is, because the torso mold was designed more as an Optimus Prime than it was as a torso.Autobot N wrote:Do you own CW Menasor?

It's not a question of a difference between the animation models. It's a question of a difference between the animation models - both of which show the limb bots actually being the limbs, like they're supposed to - and the ways the rush-job animation (and bungling comic artists) often screwed up their interpretation of said models.Emerje wrote:And really, it's silly that people are so hooked up on the arms when the legs are basically the same between both animation models so it's just the arms that are in question.
Ah-ha-ha-hah-ha, no. We don't know that. In fact, that blasted break in Drag Strip says he'll look more like that than not - that's why I've been complaining! The only difference is the arm bots will be split between the upper and lower arms. Instead of, you know, actually being the arms like they're supposed to.Emerje wrote:Also since there's a break in Dragstrip where the elbow joint will be we can tell he'll be forming the bulk of the arm, why are we so hooked up on combiner pegs and fists directly inserting into the car?
At least we know for a fact he won't look like this:
