The last straw - no yellow rims for Knockout!

Postby DarkEnergon » Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:09 pm

Motto: "You can't harm me while Dark Energon flows through my veins!"
Weapon: Dark Saber Sword
So, we see the package image of Knockout, and on the back, his rims are yellow!!

Image

But alas - in hand, his rims clearly are plain plain black.

Image

Now, why can the McDonalds toy get it right?

I was quiet during the FE fiasco. I stood on the sidelines as all complained about the incredible shrinking size of deluxes in the RiD and DOTM line. But this... casually omitting the most stylizing trait of one of the great new original characters... now, I am driven to the point of posting a new topic and declaring: I will not buy Knockout! I'm not buying him and painting his wheels, I'm not buying any stoopid labels either.

But they don't transform.

If you are trying to complain about the lazy paint job, look at Ratchet.

In a couple months, reprolabels will rectify the situation I'm sure.

All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'

Totally agreed, one of the characters most defining characteristics.

I have a smart *ss idea; instead of putting "actual product and colors may vary" on the back in fine print, it should say "actual product may be a piece of sh*t!" :michaelbay:

Yep. Annoying, but adding things like silver or in this case yellow to the rims doesn't bother me too much.

Seriously, the lack of paint on his rims are the least of this fig's problems.

His whole torso is basically non-existent. Just his head propped up on his hood.
And for whatever reason best known to Hasbro, he has two slits cut into his windscreen.

And those ugly ports on the sides of his altmode. This isn't even a DOTM toy; must they really carry over that "stealth mode" thing into TFP? At least make it concealed like DOTM deluxe Bumblebee, and Sideswipe.

Amazing how a single paint app not being there can be 'the last straw'...

It's HASBRO. You should EXPECT missing paint apps from what's on the package.
