Nothing even vaguely resembling creativity or new product. Get used to G1 and let's hope you like it because that's ALL you're going to get. And , as I've said multiple times before, for a toy line that is all about change that's truly sad that it's spinning it's wheels and waiting for time and repetition to wear it down.
While I doubt we will ever get something like Beast Wars again, where every character is new, I do see there being a fun mix of G1, Beat Wars and new characters all intermixed. The IDW comics are a very good mix for me. Predominantly G1, but with loads of new mythos and new characters like the whole idea of Transformers creation, a deeper understanding of classism within their world due to alt modes and the DJD.
Plus, the Bumblebee movie was a good example too. While it also has G1 roots, the two main villains were new characters. The Bay films themselves had new characters like Barricade and Blackout/Grindor.
And then we have Cyberverse which also blends different mythos together (was nice to see Strika and Skybyte again) and adds new characters like Thunderhowl, Wildwheel, Croaton and Iaconus.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
All they need to do is add the word "Shadow" to her name and this becomes a pretty accurate MP of Nightbird Shadow rather than vanilla Nightbird.-Kanrabat- wrote:Thinking about it, this MP Nightbird don't make any sense considering Takara's cartoon accuracy philosophy. Nightbird never transformed in the cartoon and she never had that backpack.
A 3-Zero style action figure would have been more appropriate as a true MP Nightbird.

Still plenty of time for that

True. Yet you would have thought HasTak would go for the easier option, with the first mold reuse?

Guess they went for popularity.
I have the impression that Nightbird is Takara's Windblade.

AllNewSuperRobot wrote:I noticed Tracks, and Road Rage, tend to be heavily reduced in sales quite often. Others, such as Prime, Megs or the Seekers, are not. Hence the dilemma. Because to me, when I see a highly discounted MP. I don't think "I'll grab that!", I think "why?"
AllNewSuperRobot wrote:You say that, but in terms of MP's I've seen physically for sale, in real life. Stacks of Delta Magnus' have been gathering dust on many shelves. I haven't seen any that were reduced.

The seller assured me that it is the real deal but man would I be steamed if I learned it was a KO in actuality. Since it is MISP what can I look for box wise if anything? My thanks in advance.![]()

Some pictures would help.
Especially if you open it. There's really no point in keeping such a common MP sealed.
