All is fair in opinions I suppose but what exactly is ugly about a near perfect G1 interpretation of Megatron?
Complain about his transformation...fine.
Say he feels fragile...fine.
Ugly? I have to assume you just don't like Megatron.

I like the character fine. Hegemon looks like he's made of a series of blocky parts attached together. It's hard to explain, but I find the figure hideous. I also don't want a perfect interpretation of G1 figures for my Classics, I want updated, modern looking versions. Hegemon doesn't fit that for me.

Megatron has a misshapen face as does Orion. Orion also has that clear plastic that just looks cheap. Overall they are very blocky and ungraceful. I don't mind blocky, but not for $100.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

I don't think you understand what I meant by matching proportions. I'm saying his proportions generally conform with each other, not that they match geewun Optimus. Also I didn't feel the tiny head was worth pointing out, as every time I've done this for a figure in the past nobody gave a crap. +1 to TF fan consistency.william-james88 wrote:What matching proportions? Certainly not his head

People are entitled to have opinions and to have them questioned when they state them in public. That's how this works. Opinions aren't sacred cows to live and let live. Forums are all about Hamburger Time.
Now this "true fans" business...I appreciate you not mentioning that kind of elitism when quoting me because I neither said nor implied anything of the kind. I've said a lot of stuff in my time, but one thing I've never done is be exclusionary.
Returning to the point, if this is what qualifies as "ugly" with a Transformer, then I guess I'm hoping for all my Transformers to be ugly as hell in the near future.Megatron Prime by ME_Counterpunch, on Flickr

Oh? If this turns out to be true I could overlook his derpy appearance.

I know. I didn't think I would like them as much...but...I love the little weapon masters. They are so great.
Indeed. I really would rather be looking through the third party options for her. I mean it's a good representation of her character, but then I never liked her character to begin with. IDW is the only reason I like Arcee (or even fembots in general) and I particularly prefer her design there. The pink faced barbie look does not click with me, which is a damned shame since they'll probably change her appearance in the comic to suit the figure.shockblast2 wrote:Well, geewun fans finally got their classics Arcee. I hoped it would more like IDW or WFC but there is no question it is geewun. It actually is kinda silly looking in robot mode. It, like TF4 Crosshairs, looks like it is carrying the car frame in full on its back. The Chromia, however, is nice. It looks like something out of the WFC/FOC games. I would rather have a pink verson of it than the Arcee they made, but I am happy for the classics guys who held out for so long.
