The lighting in those black background pics is too intense. It's making even the original Earthrise version look brighter than it really is. The black canopy of the Earthrise figure looks gold brown in that lighting.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:That is way too light, geez.

TRA GEN SELECTS DLX 3 PACK TREDS, PATHFINDER, & SMALLFOOT

Sad my prediction of the eHobby/SG Insecticons was off, but I'm actually more excited about this than I would have been about Insecticlones (and it was still eHobby-based, so I guess I was half-right?).

Does this complete our set of 6 Gobots now?

Ugh, I guess the only good thing about this pack is that the people who for some reason like their Transformers to look like cheap Happy Meal toys might unload their good Trailbreakers and Sunstreakers.
No. It's not about the windows, although I dom't mind that. The good thing about this set is the durability of the toys being increased over the original versions due to the hard plastic.Inflicting them with Happy Meal toy windows won't magically make it be any harder.
1b. Softer plastic is often actually more durable, because it's less brittle.
2. AFAIC literally the only good thing about this set - and even then, it's a case of "every cloud has a silver lining" - is that people who get it selling off their Earthrise versions of Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker might mean this still gives people a shot at getting those for a reasonable price.1. Hound has exactly ONE window, his windshield. 2. Your proof of this is...? Especially considering Detritus has a clear windshield? 3. Even if Hound was stuck with that, why should the rest of the pack be rendered inferior on his account?sol magnus wrote:And because Hound was always going to have the 'happy meal toy' windows, if you were going to get him you were going to get that.

Is it just me or is anyone else wondering how far the aftermarket prices on the Masterpieces will drop?

No it gives it more. Rounding it off would have cut off some of the blue area.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yet another reason the windshield shouldn't have been squared off on the bottom.Gauntlet101010 wrote:Wow, that Wheeljack looks really ... not good.

Doesn't it being squared off give it less blue? With at least the remaining semi circle of blue removed from the sea of blue?
Indeed. Here is a crude illustration of what I mean. On the left is the official robot mode cutting of the windshield, on the right is how I wish it was cut:Rodimus Prime wrote:No it gives it more.

See my illustration above that shows what I mean. It needed to not only be rounded, but also smaller, which would place it above the waist rather than down in front of it.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yet another reason the windshield shouldn't have been squared off on the bottom.Gauntlet101010 wrote:Wow, that Wheeljack looks really ... not good.

It's not hard to figure out, if they left it rounded it would sit far below his waist and interfere with the swivel. This is more of a compromise since it allows full articulation and it pulls the bottom of the windshield up nearly as high as it is in the cartoon even if it means changing the shape.
