Vicalliose wrote:What do you mean by 'realism' exactly? I think the term you're looking for might be "G1". Honestly I'd say most of the modern designs just add a little detail while keeping with a typically 'cartoony' style. I don't see what makes Springer seem realistic when his alt mode looks like it fell out of a video game like Borderlands or Ratchet and Clank, and his robot mode still has humanoid proportions. Unless you're just upset he doesn't look like this with a few extra joints:Caelus wrote:Indeed. I'd say that figure represents my ideal transformer. I guess if realism is important to you he comes up short, but otherwise he seems perfect.

Though really, anyone who dislikes the Generations Springer mold just befuddles me.

Nope. I really did misread a bunch of posts. Not sure if sleep deprivation is getting to me or something in my diet is just steadily making me dumber. Lots of stuff running together when I read lately.Caelus wrote:I don't know how you got anything else from what I said...
I'm pretty sure it won't work, judging by how his "third mode" transforms, but with the cockpit as big as it is it would probably look really weird anyway.Caelus wrote:I'm not convinced that the IDW form can't be arrived at by mistransforming the heloped mode, especially with confirmation that the arms can be deployed in that form.

Most Skids figures have the tops of his legs backwards. Mine was too and I had to pop off his legs and switch the top of his legs. If you look there is a small L and R on them and they have been put on Skids backwards.
