I just recently acquired some TAV figures. I got Gregevor, and all though the paint apps look great in robot mode, I realized her paint apps in alt mode are exactly the same layout as Hasbro's Strongarm. Needless to say they are kind of lack luster.
But hey, I like the mold, and now I have an extra Con for my RID collection.

It seems there isn't that much love for the 3-step Transformers among the collector community. But what if they looked good? I mean real good? Like this:
These are pictures from Hishashi Yuki's Twitter (TF Yuki) of the upcoming TED-11 Big Steeljaw and below you can see the difference between the Takara and Hasbro releases.
While the 3 steps may be for a younger audience, they are still engineered by Takara (3 step Grimlock and Bumblebee are done by the same guy who made MP 10) and I like how they show great pride in their accomplishments throughout the line, regardless of the amount of steps it takes to transform.

The mold isn't all that great, but at least Takara does an excellent job at detailing. However, there's one thing I don't like. Why does the blue have to be that dull? Steeljaw looks like he would need a bath himself.
Yeah, there's always someone.

...to sit with you and let it all out, sweat it all out.
Also, that 3 step Steeljaw is look a lot better than Hasbro's effort. I do like the 3-step guys. Is there any word on Takara's take on Thunderhoof? I already liked Hasbro's, but looking at what they're doing to Steeljaw, me thinks Takara might one-up Hasbro.

Having worked on MP Transformers should make him even MORE ashamed to have worked on these things. There's a reason why people aren't buying them, and the reason is: There are better ones to be had.

WHAT?!?!?!!?
Dude, its a job, the man was given a contract by his company. Its not like he has a choice, and he chooses to make the best of it. Should the caretaker of a luxury hotel feel ashamed of taking out the trash too? More to the point (since its the same guy who also did Devastator), should he feel ashamed that he couldnt give more articulation to Devastator because Hasbro wouldnt let him add more parts? WTF?! Shame on your comment.

Clarification :
SkyLynx has Wreck Gar interact with him - I think he fits on his back if I recall correctly - anyway he's officially part of that Gestalt team.
My comment is that since Override is the same mould and thus functionally identical to Wreck Gar his interaction with Sky Lynx would be preferable as the colours are far more suitable than Wreck Gar's brown is for the overall look.
Someone who was at Botcon had said that Wreck Gar fits on a chest plate mode like addition but on the back of the toy instead of the front.
However I notice Victorion seems to use the Motorcycle mould also as an arm cannon (as well as a chest plates) so that may be an option for Sky Lynx too.
Anyway the colours look better than Wreck Gar for that given purpose which is the core of my point.

Agreed Mr. William, I don't hammer down on him not being allowed to put more articulation into Devy, in fact before I was planning to get the CW version, until I saw the UW version. Devy is a great looking figure, and he did the best he could, but he had a lower budget than when he does the Masterpieces! Give the man a break Shockwave7! All the UW version does, is improve it, and make it like how he WANTED it to be like. As he said, he wanted to make it as close to a Masterpiece Devastator as possible. Considering the fact that this is the price of 6 voyagers, and that it has MORE IN IT than just the voyagers (like the the combiner bits), it's understandable that he had to take out some articulation. I know I may be restating some things that I and other people have already said, but that's my view. William-James88, I agree with you whole heartedly buddy.

Glad you agree. Although he was talking about the three steps and how the same guy who made devy and the mps should be ashamed of working on the 3 steps. And I simply said there was nothing to be ashamed of, its his job, he is told what to work on. And devastator was an example that showed he obviously cant always do what he wants to do, he makes the best of it.
