Waspinator however is all kinds of wrong. Takara, you failed completely on him.
This is why Waspinator thinks the universe hates him.

Erm, well, for that particular pic, the one on the left isn't the Takara figure. It's Cheetimus Primal's hand-painted custom.TimothyR wrote:

really?.. these are supposed to be toys based off of a cartoon..
In this case, however, the opposite is true. They made this toy based on the existing cartoon model.GuyIncognito wrote:Hasbro is a toy-maker first and foremost, and the only reason the cartoon exists is to promote sales of the toys.
He wasn't a shiny rhino in the show. That's all Takara's weirdness. But it's the colors themselves that they got right.GuyIncognito wrote:Sometimes animators make poor color choices, and everything was shiny in those early days of CGI.
It was not. The Beast Modes of Beast Wars weren't disguises. That show took the whole "robots in disguise" aspect and tossed it aside, since the main point of the Beast Modes was protection from energon radiation, as well as for long distance transport and mobility.GuyIncognito wrote:If the whole point is to be a robot IN DISGUISE,
Wow, a cartoon character than actually looks like a cartoon instead of real life! The horror!GuyIncognito wrote:Why would I want a toy that's designed to look exactly like this mess? Is this really the standard you think they should aspire to?
It looks to me like the animators tried and failed to make the cartoon character look like a real rhino. I don't want a toy that replicates their failure.

What the slag else were they going to scan for altmodes on a prehistoric planet with nothing but plants and animals on it?GuyIncognito wrote:That doesn't make sense. Please explain why only animal shapes make them radiation-proof, or how a rhinoceros shape is better for long-distance transport than, say, a Cybertronian jet?
GuyIncognito wrote:Also, the fiction says they scanned local fauna to create their alt modes. So shouldn't Rhinox look like a real rhino? Or did he scan some sort of mutant brown-and-gold rhino?

Hasbro is a toy-maker first and foremost, and the only reason the cartoon exists is to promote sales of the toys.
If the whole point is to be a robot IN DISGUISE, shouldn't it look like a real animal? Unless these are Transmetals.

Nope, because all that's required is a couple things of paint that one may have at home and they can paint the guns up themselves.
Now then, I'm not denying that Takara's Rhinox is more show accurate, because he clearly is, however some of us don't like the metallic finish on him and therefore we feel more content w/ Hasbro's.
