Uh, you do understand that Robert Stack was a celebrity and well-established Hollywood actor decades before he did the voice of Ultra Magnus in The Transformers: The Movie, right? Neither Transformers, nor Unsolved Mysteries, started his career. They did keep him relevant in the latter years of his life, though.

My dreams of a Masterpiece Arcee or Blaster will never be realised, and the chance of even getting a Braun or Mirage or Hound or [insert name here] are slim to none.

YeaH, yeah and it was brought up then too. Controversial view point though, i dont think he was that great as Magnus.

Based on what I've read here, at TFW and social media, it's getting universally panned and people are having a hard time finding any real positives. With that being said, is Takara and Hasbro completely oblivious to what fans want? Or are they just really cocky? If they are actually that out of touch, what does that say for the MP line as a whole?
If you sell half as many but raise the price by 100%, then you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Optimus Prime KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Starscream, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning. See Starscream, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you it's all a wash?carytheone wrote:Here's a question that popped into my head this morning.

So a little column A, a little column B.Cyberpath wrote:Honestly? I think this was rushed for the sake of the new "Bumblebee" film and Takara predicts people will buy it anyway. And I agree.
That doesn't surprise me at all. But there is nothing wrong with liking MPB2 (buy what you like). There are some cool things about the figure. Namely for me it's just the alt mode.Some even declared they're getting two or three units.
They do seem to be manipulating the camera angle don't they. That and all the official pics getting pulled form all the big fan sites seems a little suspicious.Takara's stock photos are normally honest but this time they seem to deliberately hide the mess as much as possible; which makes me believe they do know they've dropped the ball.

Of course and sorry if I suggested that you suggested that. It will sell well enough I'm sure, I mean I'd jump if the price was rightCyberpath wrote:Some even declared they're getting two or three units.By all means, never suggested otherwise. Just pointing out that it will probably sell.carytheone wrote:That doesn't surprise me at all. But there is nothing wrong with liking MPB2 (buy what you like).
