Autobot Roadburn wrote:So I got my Primal in yesterday and he's absolutely amazing except for one thing - some of the paint on mine is already scraping off! I'm not 100% sure if it was like that from transformation (I've done it back and forth once each) or I just missed it when I opened him, bit his face and head now have some patches. It's not the worst thing, but pretty disappointing for a $120 figure I just got yesterday. Anyone else having this problem, or did I just get a bad one?
Insurgent wrote:Because he's the size of a human (transmetal forms are bigger than the series 1 bodies). TM Megs is about the size of Prime's head. Perfect headmaster size actually. Aint no way an MP figure is being made the size of MP Spike.
This is the start of a new scale. The Beast Wars scale. Forget the G1 mp's. Because if they did make one of the larger BW guys the size of Bee? I know I would riot.
Precisely. The Maximals and Predacons on Cybertron had vehicular altmodes, but after having undergone the Great Upgrade from Autobot to Maximal, the entire species was downsized to a scale akin to that of Micromasters, Cyberdroids, and Mini-Cons.fenrir72 wrote: Now I'm serious. So In BW, prior to the disc heist, the characters we will all come to love are TFs with vehicle modes right? Yet they were like human sized (?).....Like say Micromasters if you want to be technical?

Insurgent wrote:Yep. During the events that switched them from Autobots to Maximals, they all downsized. So pre heist beast wars guys are in effect, micromasters.
It took place some time after the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons and before the theft of the Golden Disk. Sometime during the interim 300 years between the Great War's end and the timeperiod that the Beast Wars cast traveled back in time from.Ravage XK wrote:When did this Autobot Maximal switch take place? Was it when they crashed on Earth or before? I only ask as either they would have had to build new ships or the ships were shrunk too.

Here's the scene from Beast Machines in which the Great Upgrade is mentioned:

It's canon right? For the US version that is.

The truer perspective is that the G1 cartoon isn't necessarily THE past of the BW cartoon.fenrir72 wrote:Again, I read somewhere here in seibertron that BW isn't necessarily THE future of G1.

durroth wrote:He definitely has some paint scraping issues. Notably, the circular parts at the base of the antenna will rub against the hinge if the head isn't positioned perfectly while transforming. I've already lost paint off both sides.
durroth wrote:The only way I can describe the flaws of MP-32 is to say that he feels like a precision engineered figure that was never meant for clumsy human hands. The tolerances are tight and precise but merciless. Nothing feels overly complex, but it's all packed tight into that beautiful figure and they forgot to give a little breathing room for parts.
