I don't think "People should be allowed to enjoy a silly robot kit without getting shouted at for being perverts" is far-right at all. Or if it is, then society has drifted far enough to the left that we need McCarthy back.

ring back McCarthyism because people criticized a toy? That’s some scary thinking right there man, and you wonder why you sound alt-right.
That Windblade is complete sex appeal, no one is going to buy that without having some kind of sexual motivation behind it. And I hate to say it, but dismissing the sexualization of a character who is popular to all ages and genders is how we ended up with Kiss Players.
There’s plenty of other media out there with sexy women and all that, Why does that have to involve Transformers as well?

As far as bringing back McCarthyism, I'm not suggesting it because of people losing their tempers over a toy, I'm suggesting it because there are people that think that anyone short of an out and out communist is "far right". Although if they are, then being far-right is obviously not that bad a thing, given that socialism has birthed some of the worst, bloodiest regimes in human history.

It's baffling but eh, this is current year.

I don't mind the sex appeal of this. But the ass looks out of place to me. Every other part of her is hyper detailed ... except her ass. It seems awkward.

Gotta admit that the Culture War is entertaining.

They are to me, because I enjoy the Transformers characters more than the Gundam models. I'm a big fan of the IDW comics, and I don't buy third-party toys, so this lets me have licensed toys with those designs. I haven't assembled Gundam kits in the last two decades, but if you only care about the experience or see the finished products as equal, you may be better off sticking with Gundam.
I've constructed IDW Optimus and Autobot Megatron, and I have the Drift and Starscream kits unopened. I plan to repaint Starscream into Slipstream. IDW Rodimus is a definite get, and I'm hoping he comes in MTMTE and Lost Light colors. I have paint on hand, I may just buy two. I'm only going to get Windblade if she gets a redesign for reasons that are probably obvious by now.
