That's how things used to be, with different illustrators having different creative visions for the characters. Since then, things have become a LOT more consistent.shockblast2 wrote:Sabrblade - That is a mess! I never knew they were that variable in their design aesthetics. I can see why they adopt FOC/WFC and eveything else under the sun.
If I had an IDW comic collection, I'd only include the few toy designs that were actually in the comics, since a whole lot of designs were made strictly for the comics and have never had toys made for them.shockblast2 wrote:If you had a comic book related collection how could you classify your figures? From that standpoint you could shoehorn any figure that ever was because they appear to use every deisgn that ever was? Perfect for the guy who just collects all the molds for a particular character. Is Bumblebee an exception or is this normal? Do they do this with all characters?

shockblast2 wrote:Dead Metal - until now. Every single deluxe release is based on the comics going forward. So, Hasbro is now using the comics as a launching pad for their product, probably until the 4th movie comes out. And the fact that they have FOC Starscream as a comic deisgn in Thundercracker and Skywarp and then move to Armada proves this.
shockblast2 wrote:And BTW, what do you all see yourselves getting out of these new reveals? I will probably pick up Skids and put him in my FOC collection since the car mode looks Cybertronian. Definitely Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Hoist. I also like the Whirl reveal, might pick him up just cause. I won't get any of the Beast transformers. I really think that line defeated the purpose of TF's in general. They are supposed to be robots in disquise. A 25ft rhino or a 15 ft wasp is kinda revealing, is it not? I was not into TF's when they had their day so I won't knock it. I guess you could say the same about the G1 insecticons or dinobots.

One more question, are bot shots getting the proverbial boot? No reveals at Botcon?

I can't believe you had to explain it so many times and he still didn't get it, I mean how the hell do you buy those toys, read the news and not realize what the f**k they are? I mean FFS, you can't even say he's blind or illiterate since, you know, he's on the internet.

Shenanigans start on pages 3 and 4, if you don't want to take the time looking.

The difference is when someone opens with an insult towards a particular style of collecting. The more "knowledgeable" members, that I've seen, have never done this.datguy86 wrote:Arctorro wrote:Some people are just never going to get it.

Truth be told, a lot of the more "knowledgeable" members on this forum can come off as arrogant, too. Transformers is one of these fandoms where a person can be in a group with the other fans about wanting a toy, but totally alone in trying to have a decent conversation. This can lead to frustration and lashing out, since the whole purpose for a person to sign up on a forum is to talk to other people. I'm not calling the Trailcutter Discussion a case of this, but it's happened on this site quite a few times.
In more topic related stuff, how the Hell did I miss news about a non-Ruination Whirl figure? C'mon, SDCC!

Exactly! Clearly you need to learn a little more about the written language. Next time you want to be sarcastic try leaving the insults out and using some (or all) of these Itaics, as they help to convey sarcasm and emotion.Mindmaster wrote:Y'know, it's kinda hard to pick up on sarcasm on the Internet.
