CW Mixmaster hate?

Postby X3ROhour » Fri Sep 02, 2016 8:19 am

Motto: ""I WILL CUDDLE YOUR SOUL!!""
Weapon: Three-Bladed Knife
I know this item has been around for awhile,
But I was debating about Devastator
With a friend.

His major contention was one bot in particular

Mixmaster
Of Combiner Wars fame
And his super odd
Vehicle mode

Why so weird?
Is it a Cybertronian design?
That's fine...

But...

Why are all the other Constructicons Earth versions of their respective vehicle modes?

That's not cool!

If it weren't for the fact
That Mixmaster's form
Is of Earth!

More specifically a
1991 Oshkosh Cement Mixer

Whaaaaaa?!

Yep.

If you already knew
Good for you
If it's been discussed
And discovered,
Oh, well...
I must have missed it.

But if you are as baffled as my buddy was...
Well, there you go!

If it's because you Cannot alter your G1 dream...
Oh, well
Never mind

:DANCE:
:-P
>:oP

Motto: "'till All Are One"
All the constructicon vehicles are moddeled after much bigger trucks than the originals and the larger cement mixers are like that. BUT Takara did it so that you can do it the G1 way too. I highlight it in my review of the changes: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... -04/34421/

I don't think the updating itself is the main issue, but the way it's been updated. Put short, it's the orientation that's jarring. We're so used to seeing one style, down to RotF Mixmaster, that the reversed style feels so... foreign. The others have been updated to similarly styled vehicles, but Mixmaster's is so drastically different, it takes immediate notice.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)

- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

Weapon: Acid Spray Gun
Certainly doesn't help he's not a great toy, with gimpy elbows and no bicep swivels, paper-thin arms and general hollowness/laziness all around. Plus his mixing drum hangs off of his butt and does absolutely NOTHING- it doesn't even spin.
Ha ha Transformers go brrrrr

That is some weird formatting in the original post...

What's strange here is that the Movie Constructicons also went for the humongous mining versions of the vehicles yet still ended up with a 'traditional' rear-facing mixer.
