Toy head was black, cartoon head was blue. Two versions = a possibility for both to be represented. S'all I was sayin.Randomhero wrote:Because he had a blue head in the cartoon. Why do people asking that? Hotspots head is sculpted like the cartoon hence why it's blue. His head looks nothing like the toy head

Blades - Very G1, I like
Streetwise - Kinda bland compared to the Hasbro version
First Aid - same deal as Streetwise
D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Is it bad to say I do not like this? The chest area has the extra paint yes, but it doesn't look good. Streetwise and First Aid don't look near as good as the Hasbro versions, Groove kinda looks funky here, funkier than his legends version, but Blades is alright, but not outstanding compared to Hasbro in my opinion, and Hot Spot really doesn't look different. I like the legends class Groove and deluxe Rook, so I think the Hasbro version is better for quality. This looks, in some cases little different and in others different but not exactly better.

My sentiments exactly!

It's being fobbed off as some sort of mall exclusive but we all know it's because of the Groove mould. For that extra cash I can buy the whole Hasbro set, including Rook, and buy a Deluxe Groove if Hasbro release one. However, that's the thing - if Hasbro release one. I have a feeling they will though.

Well, let's just hope so.

See what I did there Fen? I cropped your quote so's not to pointlessly drag a tonne of pictures with me. PLEASE try following this examplefenrir72 wrote:Just got to looking at him in full detail. So the TT version is apping more to G1 toy accuracy with the exception of omitting those red stripe patterns on his knees. Also added white paint apps on the box/carriage that houses the fire ****** canon. His chest is now given an extra stock lightblue application to sort off simulate the chest armor of the vintage.
I wonder if he's as stable as his G1 counterpart?

Slight off topic, how do I get a preview on which pic to crop off so I can emphasize a point? Kind of confusing.

Lots of ways. Copy image URL, or right click - view image - copy address, or count which image it is. Did you want the third image down? Quote it, and delete everything but the third image down.fenrir72 wrote:Slight off topic, how do I get a preview on which pic to crop off so I can emphasize a point? Kind of confusing.

Try previewing, and counting down which pic. It can be a bit of trial and error...

Hellscream9999 wrote:Well Defensor looks... rather unpainted. It always irks me when large chunks of sculpted detail get washed out in one color. I just feel that Hasbro's Defensor really pops with the painted stripes. And most of the figures look quite a bit more bland than Hasbro's Protectobots; guess its screen accurate, or something, so if that's what you want...

I keep thinking, with the additional blue on his chest (which I like) and the Hasbro diagonal stripes together, TT's Defensor could have really made a more solid argument for the higher asking price.
