Ultra Magnus has the exact same paint apps as in CW, there's a far, faaaar superior version of Blurr thanks to TR (and thanks to Takara, also available in a much more movie-accurate deco), and we're getting a more G1-accurate version of Kup. That leaves Arcee, whom you can get a very similar deco of from Takara; and Springer, who... doesn't look half bad, but the Generations version still looks better.
I am not getting it because the decos are not different enough to warrant this purchase and I preffer the autobot cast I made using TR Blurr (and hopefully with a new Kup). The Platinum Sweeps and Dinobots had decos evoking cool sets that were way out of my reach but this one doesnt really give me much that's new. Though for those who dont have these molds yet, this is an awesome set to get and its priced reasonably enough. Its not a deal but its not price gouging either as other sets have been.
Also, magnus is different, you can see it in the gallery images.
Magnus has the same shiny paint treatment that the other four in the set have, and has several tiny light details his knees/shoulders/etc. painted in that weren't painted on the Hasbro CW release but which were painted in the Takara Legends release.Kurona wrote:william-james88 wrote:Kurona wrote:I'm curious how many people exactly would be interested in this set now.

I stared at CW Magnus and Platinum Magnus for ages and couldn't see a single difference. Minimus has different (read: better) apps for sure, but I couldn't see any difference between the Magnuses. Magni?

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Thank you will I guess this is going to be a Toys R us exclusive here in Canada since Target just up and left us after they took over Zellers (I miss Zellers)

That Wheelie must be feeling left out, he's the only one that hasn't been released or announced for Platinum this year.

That soft rubbery plastic isn't the unpaintable kind. Here's a better rundown of what unpaintable plastic entails.Agamemnon wrote:Oh, one more thing. I seem to remember Sabrblade mentioning several times something about unpaintable plastic. Soft plastics are like that, right?

One thing I might try to post is that goofy pose Hellbat does in that dance thingy...you know, kinda like this:

I know it would never happen, but I wouldn't mind separate release deluxes of the left out members. Leozack, Jallguar, and Deathcobra.
