The left knee is more bent than the right on MP Prime. Seriously if you're going to knock it over that many time should and start groaning reshoot the video.

Also, does this note say anything important?
Annnd.. Highbrow's Headmaster port kind of sticks out, is that intentional?
It's not the same Arcee, though. The one seen in these comics is a native to the Legends Universe rather than the same Arcee as seen in the cartoon universe.DestronMirage22 wrote:So Chromedome still has a thing for Arcee, huh? I liked where that was going in the Headmasters, and It's cool seeing that continued here.
Well, time seems to be irrelevant to the Legends Universe, as everyone who has come to it from the cartoon universe so far have all come from different points in the cartoon universe's timeline. For instance, all of the Headmaster-gimmicked G1 characters (except for G1 Megatron) came to the Legends Universe from the year 2021 (circa post-Masterforce, pre-Victory) of the cartoon universe, while G1 Megatron arrived in the Legends Universe before all of those guys, but did so from a point in the late 2030s of the cartoon universe.DestronMirage22 wrote:Also, about how many years after The Headmasters would this take place? Papika doesn't look old so I'm guessing not that many, right?

I think it's just illustrating that there are notches on the side of the HM's head that correspond with the nubs on the port.CP wrote:Also, does this note say anything important?

It's just a formality note explaining how the toy's Headmaster gimmick is supposed to work and be used correctly, letting people know that misuse of the toy and the function of its gimmick could lead to breakage. Just the usual message of "This is what it's supposed to do and how. Please don't break it."Cyberpath wrote:I Google Translated the note and it doesn't say anything new. Basically: insert the head in the right direction otherwise you might damage the toy. Odd.

As far as Papika's age is concerned, she could have been plucked from the cartoon universe into the Legends world from a point in the cartoon universe's timeline set not very long after her appearance in The Headmasters cartoon.
Heh, in a way, the Legends universe is almost kinda like Japan's answer to Axiom Nexus, only a lot more meta since the Transformers franchise exists as a toy and fictional media franchise in the Legends world.DestronMirage22 wrote:Didn't know that about the Legends universe. That's really cool, it allows them to use any of the upcoming toys in their new fiction, without it mucking up continuity ir making things too complicated.

It feels very redundant to me. Cool thing about the helmet on PM OP is that you essentially get two different heads.
I guess they're doing it so Japanese fans and kids can have an Optimus titan master in some capacity, since they're very likely not going to use the Wave 3 Voyager OP.

Cyberpath wrote:LG34 Mindwipe -- some first impressions.
Face-sculpt is really nice. Spot-on and looks kind of evil. I appreciate Takara not "settling" for Hasbro's sculpt (which was already pretty close) and taking this extra step.
First off he passes the "can hold his gun with two hands" test.
Legs are clunky but are kind of like Megatron's from the side, which is rather nice.
Transformation felt simplistic the first time, but I appreciated it more when I had transformed him back to bat, without the instructions. I like how the large red bat wings become purple legs in robot mode. And he still has proportional wings as a robot.
Except for Skullcruncher maybe, the Titans Return figures have such innovative, MP-like, transformation steps.
The lack of ankle tilt on these guys though makes it difficult to balance them on one leg, like a running pose. Because they're molded in an angle.
I don't understand or particularly care for the use of rubber. Does anyone know how to twist rubber into the proper shape/angle?
A little disappointed that you can't give him a half-beast half-man mode like Skullcruncher & Weirdwolf; but on the other hand HasTak made this very easy --
Bat mode in the cartoon was cooler looking. But I still like it. And how Vorath can tab to his back like in Rebirth.
I don't like the wrong colour limbs on Vorath though, bought some paint to fix it, I might.
Mindwipe has less articulation than Skull & Wolf in beast-mode. They can even open and close their jaws.
The pilot hatch reminds me of the transtectors of the Destron Headmaster Juniors from the "Masterforce" cartoon.
But hands down, the coolest feature in LG34 is the mind-control abilities.. I don't know how Takara did it, but it's really neat!
