plane kibble on the bot doesnt bug me cause its usually cool things like wings and thrusters. what bugs me is the opposite. when in plane mode theres a whole robot underneath it (which that silverbolt also suffers from).Fuhzimota wrote:Excessive robot kibble on planes. I love the CHUG and MP seekers; but a LOT of other plane-themed TFs are plagued with the "Bot wears his alt-mode as a backpack" syndrome, (I'm looking at you, Generations Silverbolt)otherwise known as "hey, there's bot pieces hanging below the plane" (The abomination that is Bayverse Starscream- y'know, 'cause all real world planes have mechanical chicken feet sticking out of the rear of the plane)
ill agree that movie prime isnt our classic prime. but the basics are still there. and i feel you can forgive most things done in the heat of battle. unless he's bathing in their blood and dancing around with their intestines (or what passes for that on cybertronians) then to me, he just seems badass.JetOptimus23 wrote:The characterization of Optimus Prime in the bay movies pisses me off to no end. Optimus is a warrior yeah, but he's always looking for a way out of the war, looking for chances to offer peace. Movieverse prime is like a whriling dervish of decapitation and gunfire. I never even saw Megatron be that brutal in combat in the movies. The one thing is that he ripped Jazz in half, which I don't remember Prime doing to anyone. Also when a beaten, injured Megatron asks him for peace after Prime incapacitated Sentinel, what does Optimus "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" Prime do? Tear his head off and toss it aside. Not only is that anticlimactic as hell, its also something utterly Unprimelike.

Megatron did NOT ask for peace. He asked "to be back in charge." When have you known peace when Megatron was "in charge?" I agree that it was anti-climactic and too fast, but killing Megatron (or, attempting, as it turns out in AoE) was the right thing to do.

I must've missed something. I thought Megs asked to take his remaining Decepticons back to build Cybertron, though if he really did ask to be in charge of what remained of the planet I can see that course of action being a little more sensible...Bay Prime is still a bloodthirsty murderer but at least he makes sensible choices

He just said that he wanted to be back in charge. He didn't specify of what, so it just make sense that he wanted command of the Decepticons back after Sentinel assumed command due to their alliance.

"Walking hippy"? As opposed to an immobile hippy?

Ha, I actually LOVE classics Galvatron. Both modes look phenominal and the sculpt in the robot mode is great. He is tough to transform but I like the challenge, and in the end everything fits into one another quite tightly, giving us a really nice tank. And his size works well for scaling with Cyclonus which is deemed one of the best classics figures ever.
Now, onto my bane of existence: Backpacks!
I HATE useless backpacks, especially those which limit the articulation of the figure and change the look of the toy by making him have a huge bump on his back. It's a hard thing to get around sometimes so I understand having some panels brought to the back and that could sometimes work to great effect, giving a character more needed bulk. But just having this obstrusive box behind a toy can really ruin a figure for me, taking away the sleek factor I like so much in some of these toys. It's also very lazy, usually lessens the complexity of transformation and lessens the cartoon accuracy. RID Prime ultra magnus, First edition vehicon and the 2 leader AOE Optimus molds are some of the biggest offenders (below are those very toys with comparison pics to other versions of the character done right in toy form)
I also greatly dislike the ROTF and DOTM movies, especially any Sam Witwicky shenanigan and how they make Leonard Nemoy utter the Star Trek line (and I am not even that big a Star Trek fan)

PS: I too think Armada's a fine toyline, were it not for that we wouldnt have Unicron
