I'm sorry, I don't understand. Allotted more what? Accessories? Bulk? Parts count? Units produced?ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Well, Studio Series Leaders may get more allotted to them than regular Generations Leaders, but they're still not quite in the same neighborhood as Movie 1-3 Leaders.
They seem to be allotted a bit more plastic and possibly more parts than the CHUG figures are. Blackout seems to have a bit more meat on his bones than, say, TR Sixshot. And then there's the Studio Series DOTM Leader Optimus.Rodimus Prime wrote:I'm sorry, I don't understand. Allotted more what? Accessories? Bulk? Parts count?

I still haven't even opened mine, I'm considering selling it. For some reason I soured on it a bit after purchase. I have SS-05 Prime, that's a good representation of the character in SS. I didn't like Jetfire so I never got SS-32 either. Now I'm not sure the trailer and jetwing was worth the double dipping.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:They seem to be allotted a bit more plastic and possibly more parts than the CHUG figures are.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Well, that trailer needs a crapton of paint. But it still looks to be a bigger, fancier trailer than what ER Leader Optimus got, even with how hollow the engines are.
Of course, I don't know if SS Optimus is lighter on mass than ER Optimus is.

I returned my DoTM Jetwing Prime. He just felt too fiddly for $50. Things weren't tabbing in snugly and on only the 2nd time transforming the tab that joins the front grill halves just about gave way, so much to the point I was afraid of doing it again and having it break. Plus on a much less important note he cant hold the shield in a normal way.
So if anybody has had a positive experience with him that is good, but currently, just too rich and dinky for my tastes
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Regarding Megatron, I think your height complaint might be resolved by leaning his torso forward and crooking his legs.
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Well, tough break on that... Studio Series Leaders don't have the mass of movie 1-3 Leaders.
I blame Megatron more than Shockwave. He's super-chunky for a movieverse toy (he almost looks like an Armada toy doing Bayformer cosplay) and I don't think he compresses down enough. Of course, that's probably beyond Studio Series' average engineering level.
EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:In regards to Leader Optimus, I’ve got some bias because DOTM Prime with the trailer is the Optimus Prime to me, but I love it. It’s not perfect, there are gaps in the jetpack and the truck mode is kinda off, but the robot mode is excellent and the sheer number of accessories he comes with is really impressive. I’d totally recommend him.
EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:Now that we know what this year holds for SS, what’s everyone hoping for next year?
While not necessarily this year, I’m hoping for
- The rest of the DOTM crew (Dino, Que, Bee, Hatchet)
- Sideways
- Evasion Mode Optimus (never got my hands on the original)
- I’d be interested to see how they tackle the Fallen, even though it’s not one I think I need.
- I’d actually like to see a dark gray repaint of ROTF Starscream as DOTM Starscream.
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Well, unless the situation with Ferrarass changes you're not going to see Dino.
I'd like to see DOTM Devcon, as well as TLK Onslaught, Dreadbot, and Mohawk.
D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I'm hoping for Hatchet and Dino strongest of all, and then the rest of the TLK con crew. I also wouldn't mind another Jolt, my only Jolt is the DotM one that is that pale color. it's good, but I'd like a nice dark blue one.
And a new Galvatron, would not mind that at all
