Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Putting on stickers was one of my favorite things to do in the known universe. Most exciting part of getting the toy. I gotta get back into that mindset.

Though, I can't quite tell which version of the two First Editions on AM Megatron's left and right is which. Is Hasbro's on the left and Takara's on the right (from the viewer's perspective, not AM Megatron's), or vice-versa?
Thanks, man.Seibertron wrote:From your left to right: Hasbro's First Edition Megatron, Arms Micron Megatron, and Takara Tomy's First Edition Megatron. I completed the Takara Tomy FE Megatron gallery as well, but won't be posting it until later down the road when I get Hasbro's Cliffjumper and Takara Tomy's Arcee galleries completed. For the record, Takara Tomy's FE Megatron is almost a yellowed grey ... it is NOT the same color as the TFP RID Voyager Megatron, which is far more grey.

Now, what of the Super Combo Weapons? Is the Star Saber the only named one, or do the other combinations have names too? Like, in the instructions or something?

'Tis okay. JelZe GoldRabbit just pointed out that the Star Saber's the only named one thus far.Seibertron wrote:I have no idea since there's nothing in English in the instructions. Hopefully you can shed some light on it for us.

Far from killed. It's unfortunate that not all FE figures had bad distribution, but it's not like those molds aren't going to get released in alternate colors in the near future.
The difference between FE and RID, there are cartoon model aesthetics that both FE and RID do well, it's a matter of give and take.
I love how everyone is antagonizing stickers, but that's what was essential back in G1, a line that everyone loves, and it's something that's 'new' to modern Transformers. Kit making, taking plastic off sprues and putting things together is the niche of Japanese toy collecting. There's nothing wrong with what Takara is trying to do here. .

That was the 80s and not everyone loves G1, I for instance don't like them and I've never liked the stickers, even back then.
You know what else was once the norm in Transformers toys? No articulation, shoddy details, bad proportions 0 screen accuracy, want that back too?
The only thing I like about these are the kit mini-cons, mostly because I like building stuff.
The whole Prime line is lost on me, both Hasbro and Takara, which sucks because I wanted to like them. But overall Hasbro has the better offering for Prime.

You know well enough I wasn't generalizing the entire community. Obviously if we reincarnate our modern figures with 80's toy technology, they're going to **** the bed. But, stickers are something that's prominent in other hobbies to this day. So is kit making.
I just feel that Arm Microns are a throwback to just about everything that has made Transformers successful or atleast changed it's outlook. Stickers and mini-cons. It's different and all of this knocking is the fact that it's an import and alot of people who are negative nancies are always going to be negative if they don't own something in their hands.
