Space Battleship Yamato? SDF-1?

SDF-1 looks alright, but SBY looks just as bad as OS's battleship to me. For something space related that is.

It's probably that I was young and impressionable when all that Japanese Animation stuff came out that the Yamato aesthetic is pleasing. I see what you are saying. I think the reason is that battleships like the Bismarck and Missouri were just so cool...

Motto: "Motive is a universal weakness."
Simply not digging this. I feel like (if they are indeed trying to make YoTS Omega more G1) they've done it via what was in my opinion the worst feature of the figure: the base mode. I would have loved a blaster hand (not a strictly G1 accurate one, just one that looks like it could seriously annihilate something) something to make the front of the construction vehicle more tank-like, maybe even a new joint to add shoulder elevation to the claw arm.

I first saw the image of this upgrade set on a random Google image search, and I thought someone had PhotoShopped two pieces of Scalextric track to the figure. :SICK:
