Ok... what the heck is THIS? Were is the paint quality from Takara Tomy? who will buy this crap? Hasbro killed transformers prime with new RiD molds and Takara too with stickers and building tools... Transformers Prime Toys are finished!

I love how everyone is antagonizing stickers, but that's what was essential back in G1, a line that everyone loves, and it's something that's 'new' to modern Transformers. Kit making, taking plastic off sprues and putting things together is the niche of Japanese toy collecting. There's nothing wrong with what Takara is trying to do here. .

That was the 80s and not everyone loves G1, I for instance don't like them and I've never liked the stickers, even back then.
You know what else was once the norm in Transformers toys? No articulation, shoddy details, bad proportions 0 screen accuracy, want that back too?

The only thing I like about these are the kit mini-cons, mostly because I like building stuff.

The whole Prime line is lost on me, both Hasbro and Takara, which sucks because I wanted to like them. But overall Hasbro has the better offering for Prime.

You know well enough I wasn't generalizing the entire community. Obviously if we reincarnate our modern figures with 80's toy technology, they're going to shit the bed. But, stickers are something that's prominent in other hobbies to this day. So is kit making.

I just feel that Arm Microns are a throwback to just about everything that has made Transformers successful or atleast changed it's outlook. Stickers and mini-cons. It's different and all of this knocking is the fact that it's an import and alot of people who are negative nancies are always going to be negative if they don't own something in their hands.

Even if they weren't imports I wouldn't want stickers. I think stickers generally look bad on toys, tampographs are better.
That's why all my G1 reissues and my Gundams are missing all their stickers, Stickers suck.

To each their own.

I know over the last few years a number of people just on this website alone have often said they wished for a return of stickers because it was something that made G1 figures fun.

Of course not everyone's going to like that, nothing Hasbro or TT will be liked by everyone.
