1. G1 versions have the crane and shovels on the backs, not the arms. That is FACT not fiction.

Hmmn, that was a bit of an error on my part when typing the previous post. I'm sorry. Still those parts have to be removed and placed back on their bodies when converting to robot mode yes?

Rated X wrote:2. The trailer becomes arm feature is lame in my opinion. It is just a pointless excuse to try to justify not throwing them in your parts box when not displaying Devy mode. While my opinion that it’s lame might just be an opinion, you can’t deny the FACTS.

3. The treads are in the proper G1 accurate place on Giant. Once again that is a FACT. The unmodified Hercules “treads to forearms” might be innovative, but not G1 accurate. And even though I was giving Giant points for this, I get a hypocritical strike for stating a FACT ???

Well yes it's lame combiner kibble and gives us G1 accurate arms. But then you say it's good when TFC gives you an upgrade set which does the exact same thing? It's G1 accurate and if you like G1 accuracy but hate the lame kibble then isn't that a contradiction? Are you really just saying you hate the fact that they put wheels on them to pretend they're generators?

Uh, they're paint apps not stickers.

For every person who finds the disjointed coloration that is that damned purple barrel to be your #1 complaint, please list your names here, your all going on "The List".

Super LOL!

Ok, this argument over which is better is pointless. Both look great to me and I would love to have both on my shelf. I already have a completed Hercules and it looks fantastic. Giant looks great but that is an out of hand opinion. There are also problems with both too but I can overlook them. not sure if I will get the green version since I have Herc but the yellow will most likely end up in my collection.

likewise.

Arguement isn't pointless, it lets people who haven't commit to either have a read and see if the problems stated by either side are enough of a detriment either way.

Sounds like a job for Crazydevy...

With all the crazy integrated guns that it breaks into? Probably cost as much as a whole new figure with a 100+ price tag

They already made one. It was expencive, but now over $100; it's probably just a simple skin you screw into place.

Alternatively, Reprolabels also gives us a purple berrel option.

To my knowledge you cannot take the crane or shovel off their arms and put them on their backs. (Maketoy versions) Theyre permantaly attached. But I cant be 100% sure. I dont own them. I own Hercules which you can put them on either place for preference.


Well I guess paint apps are ok. You can cover them.


I didnt need the trailers. I was happy putting the G1 forearms in my parts box. I prefer less gimmicks. On the other hand The new TFC forearms upgrade doesnt become anything else to my knowledge. Theyre sinply add on parts for Devy mode. No gimmicks for alt mode that add unessecary pegs or holes to the alt modes. And TFC made the treads fix in response to fan feedback.

Which leads me to the purple barrel...

Can you honestly say this color combination doesnt look better than all green ???





Put me at the top of your "s**t list". I consider it a badge of honor.

I was actually referring to Herc's figures. From what I'd gathered they need to be removed when transforming.

Well, they can simply go in the parts box either way...

Breaks up Mixmaster's alt mode pretty well, but in combined form the lack of purple on the other leg is just weird to me, maybe a purple stripe or two would work better. Either way the complaint is rather petty.

My "s**t list" is kinda long, I'm just starting a "barrel list" for this one.

please, man, for all our sakes, grow up.

Do us all a favor and get a sense of humor.I guess i didn't get the memo on people can only like one or the other. I plan on getting giant as well but I prefer Hercules beacuse he is like a MP size version of Dev, thats all. So for love all things plastic,lighten up friend

Seriously to all who are to stupid to realise that this thread is about GIANT an not Hercules, stop it right now, the next to bring the Giant vs Hercules debate gets himself a warning.
