There is no escape from it once you are caught in a landslide.

Kurona wrote:Cool as the Cerebros and Ghost Starscream heads are... I'd be heavily reluctant to use any of them in head mode with their translucent plastic head-slot pieces. Shame too since the Cerebros head mode is the only of Spike's two modes which isn't terrifying.

Is this a knockoff,
Or from the factory?
Bought it on ebay, I think the seller was scalping me.

Sixshot was a gun, now a boat.
Use to shoot, now he float.
I'd ask where's Windblade, but it doesn't really matter
to meeeeee

Yeah... I have too much time on my hands.

I'd just be happy for a Legends Blitzwing announcement, period. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if Takara did something similar with an extra something for Blitzwing to parallel Octane. What would be as clever as a Ghost Starscream Headmaster, though? Another thought: Blitzwing could come with a Titan Master vehicle instead, akin to Broadside, who will come with Repugnus' body.

Maybe two extra Titan Masters to mimic Animated/Thrilling 30 Blitzwing?

Buuuuut, is it all that new?


Transformers Unite Warriors Ghost Starscream Gallery

It leaves me wondering if, instead of sculpting a WHOLE new face, they simply took the CAD file, scaled it up, and cut the back off for retooling to make it work with a TM.

As for the proportions, and I have no idea how the designers actually work, but all those aspects are easily editable digitally. For example those side vents do look skinnier on the TM head, but that could be a product of scaling a square to fit a rectangle.

Anyway, I just like to think about how these designers are applying digital tools to their method, while not that long ago, in the grand scheme of things,things were still hand sculpted.

Sometimes the digital ends up looking not as good in the end as the hand sculpted, but it is really awesome when it comes to saving labor. Sometimes though some people are just really good at digital sculpting, so they do it well.

Maybe Blitzwing will come with his strategic war consultant, the football coach guy. Thats what we call, the long bomb

Mama...
Just bought a toy...
It's smaller than they said
But he's got a transforming head,
Mama, found out he's super rare
But now I've gone and thrown the box away

Mama, oooohh
I'm going to Toys R Us
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on,
As if nothing really matters

Too many
Robots on the shelf
Thought they were real good finds,
But my wallet's aching all the time,
Goodbye, to my paycheck, it's got to go
Gotta leave food behind to buy more toys

Mama, oooh
Which one should I buy?
Who am I kidding, I'll end up with them all.

That Starfleet EP was killer. Eddie Van Halen plays guitar with him. There is a Dai X toy out there.

It's funny with how popular Queen is in Japan, they've never been homaged in the Transformers line.

The '84 roster's only technically complete at that. We're still waiting on a cartoon-scale matched set (the Seekers are a size class too small, Huffer's too small, CJ's too big..), Optimus' trailer, a better Ratchet and Ironhide, and a non-lazy Sunstreaker.

Unless there's a different version I'm not aware of, Huffer's got bigger issues than scale. They may have redecoed nuLegends OP into Huffer with a new head mold and recoloring the body orange, but c'mon that's still not a "real" 84 Huffer, what with chest windows and no covering over his head. It's like considering TM Brawn a proper version of him. Fortunately he's also got old/nuLegends figs.

Yeah, forgot to mention that issue. Got distracted by the fact that the person I was quoting apparently counts that Huffer as good enough.

There's also... the original Classics Huffer.

No there isn't. There was never a Classics Huffer. There was a [i]Timelines[/i] Huffer, but that was just a con-exclusive redeco of Cybertron Armorhide. PCC Huffer is apparently a separate character and the resemblance is limited, and PCC leans more toward being an ROTF/HFTD subline anyway.

Getting back to Legends, I wonder if there will be an Encore Overlord to complement the Masterforce rehashes and especially Legends God Ginrai. Since, well, no amount of extra paint detail or bonus accessories can fix the fact that the TR Overlord mold, being only a single Leader-class figure, literally comes up short next to the God Ginrai combo.
