And those BW characters that have had figures here and there? *PERSONAL OPINION* I've found them to be lacking compared to the originals.
Universe 2008 Cheetor was the worst of the bunch, because of the space allocated for the eye changing gimmick, and the proportions favoring the cheetah mode a bit too much. I will say the Generations toys were steps in the right direction from looks alone.
Virtually all those BW figures released were bloody good figures, yes, even the likes of Retrax. They had articulation, the looked good in both modes ... well except maybe Retax given his robot mode is basically "COME HERE AND LET ME HUG YOU!!!!!!" (Even Japan got in on the joke by recolouring him and renaming him Powerhug!)
I hear ya there.
The same goes for RiD 2001, another great line.
And experimental to an extent. Didn't stray far from the trusted Yuusha/Brave formula from a couple years prior, kept the BW Neo "shellforming" for the Autobot Brothers, gave us a brand-new six-, then 10, now 11-changer, and was filled out with redecos and canceled toys. Quite the hodgepodge indeed.
The Unicron Trilogy however ... dunno what happened there. Some great figures, some incredibly bad figures.
Changes in design direction are always hard to swallow, especially when a gimmick takes priority. That has not changed with the non-Generations lines.
And hey, whose to say that after PotP finishes we might get some figures from older series. Give it a true Generations feel.
Wait 5 to 10 years on that, when Animated, Prime, RiD and Rescue Bots fade into obscurity
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
)
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
