I've always hated transformers with face plates and Primes yellow eyes just bug me. I think they remind of G1 Primes creepy yellow eyes that make him look evil and unheroic.
On reflection it's not just the colours. I just don't like the look of either bot.

Thank you Sabsie. A+!Sabrblade wrote:Well, the toy wasn't originally meant to be viewed as a living robotic organism. It was designed to be a human-operated mech machine for the Diaclone line.Prime Riblet wrote:I was actually considering them ugly based on only themselves as toys. They are just so strange in their style and design. There is a little bitty body with a ginormous windshield and a little square face behind it. And then he stands on his weird little battle platform. That toy is just the weirdest thing ever.
Right again Jelze! A+!JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:True, the Diaclone was more of a glorified exosuit than a robot. It even had a proper seat for the pilot (where the "robot face" would end up)!

Accidentally.
i had groove as a kid... and youre totally right but i never thought of it that wayAmelie wrote:G1 Groove. That toy barely passes as anything other than a Motorbike with a face drawn on. His destiny is and always will be - a leg. Its just not worth displaying in robot mode.
Glide (or Universe Groove) might have it even worse than Groove, and he's not even a leg (he's back kibble).Amelie wrote:G1 Groove. That toy barely passes as anything other than a Motorbike with a face drawn on. His destiny is and always will be - a leg. Its just not worth displaying in robot mode.
