Faith Leader, because it's a dirty filthy bootleg that deserves to die, and I hope it burns in hell! Er... please imagine that last bit in Sam Jackson's voice for full effect. )
Have you considered volunteering for Hasbro’s “loss prevention” team? They don’t pay you, but you get a nice shiny Hasbro badge of honor.
I tried signing up for it, but it turned out the stinking badges they were handing out were KOs of real badges !
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.
And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

Ha ha... When you quote me without the surrounding context like that, it almost sounds like a resounding endorsement of Orion, as opposed to my expressing that (to me) he is the less undesirable option of two figures I don't much care for. (One, Orion, because I find it butt ugly, and the other, Faith Leader, because it's a dirty filthy bootleg that deserves to die, and I hope it burns in hell! Er... please imagine that last bit in Sam Jackson's voice for full effect. )
Nice!

Hey now! This craptacular mold actually has a frustratingly clever transformation scheme!
Not nearly clever enough to do it any justice whatsoever, in fact I'm willing to state that some of what may be considered "clever" is actually a greater hindrance to the dumb thing looking right at all.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.
I'm a killjoy, and proud of it! don't take that to mean I'm a killjoy just because I can be, though...

I think the transformation is quite clever and nowhere near as difficult as it is occasionally claimed to be.
Perhaps my strong hands and nimble fingers are just a class above and apt to engage in complex situations with delightful skill.
I could care less about the difficulty so much as the end result of what all those "clever" little transformation bits accomplish in the end... an ugly, boxy, mis-proportioned mess of robot that looks a far cry from the source material.

Hahaha. Other than the head sculpt, how does he not look like the Prime he was intended to? Also, do you ever like a toy you comment on? I'm honestly not sure I've ever seen you post anything positive.

You're right... I almost forgot why I left this stupid hell hole to begin with.

Hmm. I'm not sure whether to go for this guy. On the one hand, his robot mode looks great, his vehicle mode looks fantastic and AFAIK he's very good quality. On the other hand he's a smidgen big for my liking and dear god that headsculpt is awful.
I don't have this guy, but will say that all the ToyWorld products I have (6) are great quality. I've watched videos on this guy, and the leg transformation just looks fun (something that ToyWorld tends to do a good job of, with some exceptions, and better than Perfect Effect or Fansproject, of which I also own 2 and 5, respectively). It looks like there's a 3rd party head for him now so, depending on price, might be time to pull the trigger.

I'm not a big fan of the head sculpt either. I ended up buying a custom off eBay. Renderform also has replacement heads if you're interested. I think he scales well with the other classics style autobots but it really just depends on who you use as your Megatron. I use Hegemon so I do wish he was a head shorter but I think he scales good with CW Megatron.

Well I'm customizing a Universe Dropshot into Megatron, so something tells me that Orion will be FAR too big.
