Blah blah blah COVID blah blah designers. I don't care whose fault it is. It. Is. A. Bad. Figure.
Optimus is perfect, Barricade will look better when his legs are properly transformed. It takes long enough to set up the display, maybe take that time to properly transform the figures?
No excuses. Multi Billion dollar company.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

TFWiki wrote:Broadside is amazingly large and transforms into an Autobot transport. Hopefully he didn't transform into the one that the Combaticons busted up and stole.
Had Broadside been the transport used to ferry Energon from the Sea of Rust, this would have made him a triple-changer like his original G1-self, able to transform into either a wheeled transport or an aircraft transport.
The original toy came out two years before FOC did. The head it had was the head Cliffjumper had in the WFC DS game. The Prime-based OFC head design didn't exist yet.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I'm really hoping Cliffjumper gets his proper FOC head, I love that head design, and was sad that the original toy did not use it

Yes, that Jazz design was excellent, but the toy was...lacking, to say the least. Especially compared to the other Generations Jazz that came out around the same time.
And then they remolded it to make a just as mediocre Sideswipe (although at least he had a weapon that was actually in the game).
Would love to see updates of both that were as awesome as their in-game designs.

Heh, given the last couple SS figures I've gotten, now they're smaller and cheaper made AND cost more. SS Hot Rod has pieces of his ankles/bumper that constantly pop off, and he is TINY, even compared to earlier SS figures.
Hopefully this line is shown a little more love.

Noting that I only ever had Shockwave (plus redecos) and Bruticus. So scaling and such were irrelevant concerns to me.
AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Personally, I don't like the Scramble City/CW design. I think it looks cheap and creatively lazy. When the individual pieces of a Gestalt aren't integrated into their respective combiner team designs.
AllNewSuperRobot wrote:The custom aspect. FoC Bruticus kept it simple:
Onslaught (torso)
Vortex (left arm)
Brawl (left leg)
Blast Off (right arm)
Swindle (right leg)
That way, the Bruticus hands are built into the "arms". The feet built into the "legs" etc No clip-on feet and hands.
