Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

As for the proportions, and I have no idea how the designers actually work, but all those aspects are easily editable digitally. For example those side vents do look skinnier on the TM head, but that could be a product of scaling a square to fit a rectangle.
Anyway, I just like to think about how these designers are applying digital tools to their method, while not that long ago, in the grand scheme of things,things were still hand sculpted.

Sometimes the digital ends up looking not as good in the end as the hand sculpted, but it is really awesome when it comes to saving labor. Sometimes though some people are just really good at digital sculpting, so they do it well.

I'd just be happy for a Legends Blitzwing announcement, period. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if Takara did something similar with an extra something for Blitzwing to parallel Octane. What would be as clever as a Ghost Starscream Headmaster, though? Another thought: Blitzwing could come with a Titan Master vehicle instead, akin to Broadside, who will come with Repugnus' body.

Maybe Blitzwing will come with his strategic war consultant, the football coach guy. Thats what we call, the long bomb

It's smaller than they said

Goodbye, to my paycheck, it's got to go
Gotta leave food behind to buy more toys

Who am I kidding, I'll end up with them all.

That Starfleet EP was killer. Eddie Van Halen plays guitar with him. There is a Dai X toy out there.
It's funny with how popular Queen is in Japan, they've never been homaged in the Transformers line.

Unless there's a different version I'm not aware of, Huffer's got bigger issues than scale. They may have redecoed nuLegends OP into Huffer with a new head mold and recoloring the body orange, but c'mon that's still not a "real" 84 Huffer, what with chest windows and no covering over his head. It's like considering TM Brawn a proper version of him. Fortunately he's also got old/nuLegends figs.
Yeah, forgot to mention that issue. Got distracted by the fact that the person I was quoting apparently counts that Huffer as good enough.

No there isn't. There was never a Classics Huffer. There was a [i]Timelines[/i] Huffer, but that was just a con-exclusive redeco of Cybertron Armorhide. PCC Huffer is apparently a separate character and the resemblance is limited, and PCC leans more toward being an ROTF/HFTD subline anyway.
Getting back to Legends, I wonder if there will be an Encore Overlord to complement the Masterforce rehashes and especially Legends God Ginrai. Since, well, no amount of extra paint detail or bonus accessories can fix the fact that the TR Overlord mold, being only a single Leader-class figure, literally comes up short next to the God Ginrai combo.

The Titans Return mold Legends version, yes. Now, I don't know if the same will be true for the upcoming reissue of the Legends version, but there's a good chance that it may be so.primalxconvoy wrote:Really? The new, recently made version? The legs cannot open for base mode?

given that TR Sky Shadow's and Overlord's Titan Masters are molded to be Giga and Mega, and TR Overlord has spots for the two Titanmasters in his chest, I think we might see Legends Overlord have a Headmaster that looks like a Mini Overlord and then see the Giga and Mega Titenmasters included with their unique engine blocks on their backs instead of the faces. best of both worlds.
Kurona wrote:Yeah, the one image we really have comparing the two really shows. Still, considering the extensive retooling done to make PMOP into Ginrai; I don't think it'd be too out of the question to see Takara do some retooling to make Overlord the same height as God Ginrai -- and maybe at the same time work in a Megajet combined vehicle mode.
