I know but right before that you said there were no show accurate toys. So you were saying yes there are and no there isn't at the same time hence you were argueing with yourself.Glyph wrote:I used Energon / Cybertron as an example of what happens when animators try to make their characters look exactly like the toys.
And when I'm talking about accuracy I mean looks only, not flexibility.
Ah... Now there's a problem, you see? Suddenly you're relaxing your definition of "100% accuracy" to allow it to work in your favour, but against other arguments.
I'll let a previous post speak for me sence I've allready said this from the start it's not recent.
Anyway, I can't wait to see the toys for this series. I highly doubt any of them will be show accurate due to the styalized robot modes.
This means that characters like Optimus Prime won't be able to shift from a normal sized front grill to his anorexic robot mode. Has nothing to do with how they move. Has to do with haveing shape shifting body parts. Which straingly enough, suposidly intelligent people are arguing is actully possible or did you missinterpret this as something else? In that case what do you think "Styalized" means?
It's back on page 2, go look at it.
I'm going to have to appoligise for that one, that comment was about Hellbender's post not yours. He made the same comments you did but it was all in a single paragraph.Allso what's up with the shoving everything inside one huge block paragraph?
If you're talking about running a whole post into one paragraph, the problem is that it's near impossible to read. If you're talking about my double quote of you, it's because I was quoting two separate posts from which I'd snipped an amount of text between the bits I wanted, and I made a stylistic choice to reflect that by using a pair of consecutive quote blocks. Happy?

OK just checked out thoughs links and they're not any more show accurate than the G1 or first wave of Beast Wars toys were.
They were a little more show accurate than I thought they'd be but that's mainly because they used the anime looking heads and I was hopeing they wouldn't. And what's up with Prime's face? I normally don't mind him having a mouth but that is just ugly!
Anyway, just as I had thought Prime isn't as insainly skinny as his show model. Bulkhead is a bit more proportionate as a toy but still looks really fat, I was really suprised at that one.
Prowl, if it wasn't for that head would be the coolest toy ever! He looks like he doesn't have a face though and it's kinda creepy.
Bumblebee looks nothing like his show model other than being Yellow and haveing a black stripe.
He doesn't even have the same vehicle mode. The animated model looks like Movie Bumblebee while the toy looks more like Classics Bumblebee (without the boat) allthough I do prefer him that way because G1 Bumblebee was my fav. character.
The Robot modes, obviously the toy is alot bulkier looking than the animated version and I like him that way.
I'm actully wishing Bumblebee's show model looked more like the toy right now because the toy looks fairly close to G1.
