Anyway, I like the Flat Shoulder pad better. The angled ones make him look like his ducking into his shoulders for cover, like when you're scared and you push your shoulders up. It just looks wrong to me. The flat Shoulders work better for him.
I'm also liking the big arm cannons. Its a great design but He's no been etched in stoner in my must have Movie list.
After looking at the images again in the gallery, i agree with you and retract my earlier statement, he does look better with them flat, and if he had a different head and a oval missle launcher in the back i would totally see aTrailbreaker, but if he were painted red, he would be a perfect ironhide, the features would probably coe out better with a red paint scheme, just like In my opinion Ratchet should be in white with red rescue markings..
My etched in stone movie List includes:
Optimus prime
Megatron
Megatron FAB, he's cool with Ice..no punn intended..
Starscream
Starscream FAB, much better with hands..
Ironhide
Blackout, he's like the instant fan favorite, and will be what Boba Fett was to Star Wars, or Wolverine was to Marvel, i think he'll actually steal the show..
Barricade, but not crazy about frenzy, i'll glue him to the grill of the car and never use him..
Not sure:
Ratchet
Bumblebe, the regular line figure just looks awful and not very well done at all, the chest is wrong, the legs are all wrong, the arms are ok, but the helmet doesn't come down and he's not proportionate
Ultimate bumblebee, not a fan of the design of the chest and one arm just being a gun with no replacement..and again the battle mode not included..
Protoform Optimus, just seems cheap and not as large as the regular line up..but he's in the comic so i just might go that way..
Protoform SS, same deal as Optimus...
Wreckage, though great in bot form, his alt mode leaves something to be desired..
and that's where I stand so far..
