And that is what bothers me about Mixmaster. The alt mode itself is fine, and if all the others had been given the same treatment I'd be thinking, "Cool modern update, they will go well with all the other Classics/Generations toys I have". Having one modern update and five that try to be as close to the fiction as possible (with a few obvious tweaks) makes Mixmaster stand out badly and look worse for it.shajaki wrote:Mixmaster doesn't bother me.

Yes, but look at your G1 Devastator!! It's there!!

Speaking of Toy Fair. It appears that Hasbro have pulled out of UK Toy Fair 2016. Not surprised, shows how much they care about us over here!

Didn't realise they were there thus year or in the past...
All six of them are modern. It's just that the other five are based on vehicle types whose designs haven't changed as much in appearance as the look of that type of cement mixer has.Burn wrote:A challenge for all those who don't like Mixmaster being given the alt mode of a "modern" cement truck.
One of the biggest reasons for not liking it is because none of the others got a "modern" update. Would some of those people care to post some pictures of some "modern" alt modes for the other five Constructicons?

Burn wrote:So complaining about Mixmaster's modern take is pointless because all the others have been updated as well. Concrete trucks have changed the most in the last 30 years.
Sorted.
You keep spouting that you hate that Hasbro are taking traditionally non combining characters and making them combiners then vigorously defend your right to express that opinion. However, whenever anyone says they don't like Mixmaster's alt mode, by expressing their opinion, you call it pointless? Right.Burn wrote:So complaining about Mixmaster's modern take is pointless because all the others have been updated as well. Concrete trucks have changed the most in the last 30 years.

You keep mentioning alt mode scale. Why? Look at the deluxe class, sure a couple of cars scale well with each other and a couple of jets scale well with each other, but when you look at the entire line there is NO alt mode scale. As Burn would say, pointless.Sabrblade wrote:Though, Mixmaster is done as that kind of cement mixer not simply to be modernized, but also because that type of design is what the great big mining cement mixers look like, and all six of the Constructicons in this set are rendered as the giant mining versions of their respective altmode vehicles. The rear-mounted cement mixer design nowadays is used on the smaller-scale ones, while the bigger-scale mining ones use the front-mounted mixers. It's because they're all giant mining construction vehicles now that Mixmaster got his new look.
