As of now, we have 2 good figures, Hoist and Strika, and 2 crap figures, Skywarp and Obsidian.

Not Fun Pub's fault. It was requested of them to make Obsidian in toy colors.Mkall wrote:So Obsiduan is toy accurate in colour but Strika isn't. There's a fail there.

Considering how Animated Strika's design was already a homage to Beast Machines Strika's cartoon design, I'd say Machine Wars Strika's design bearing any resemblance to Animated Strika would be both natural and coincidental due to them both homaging the same thing.Henry921 wrote:They also seem to be homaging her animated design just a bit:

It's like saying WFC/FOC Shockwave looks like Energon Shockblast when both are really just meant to be different takes on homaging G1 Shockwave.

Those are Strika's BM cartoon colors.Seibertron wrote:Not really ... it appears to be homaging the Animated Strika's color scheme.
Hasbro requested the toy colors for Obsidian, but Fun Pub seemed to want to do show colors for both and were only permitted them for one.Mkall wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not Fun Pub's fault.

It is their fault. They're producing the darned thing. So why not make Strika in toy colours?
