How are the stickers on him, by the way? Are they garbage like the TR Megatron stickers?
william-james88 wrote:Yes they are. Thankfully there arent that many. Theres just the ones on the wings and the decepticon symbols and the later ones are perfecetly fine. This is easily the best leader of Titans return to date.
And I just love how well that tank rolls. Its a very elegant transformation for his bottom half. Top Half is overly simplified though, too bad.
EmirateXaaron wrote:Man, that sucks. I'm glad they're not in abundance like Megatron or the new Laser Prime, but it's still a shame. I wonder what prompted them to use such horrible quality stickers? Other than cost-cutting, of course.

I'd say that the G1 stickers have held up better than these new ones have. Several of the wing stickers on my TR Megs have already peeled pretty badly, and I've only transformed him twice or so. And yet my uncle's Pointblank has stickers that have survived some serious playtesting from him, me, my brothers, and my cousins, not to mention attic storage inbetween.
Although, my Sixshot has held up nicely, despite a good amount of fiddling to get all fo his different modes. Perhaps it's just bad luck with Megatron.

Note: This video is in Japanese only because there's no English version of this fight on YouTube anymore. Otherwise, this episode is definitely from the American G1 cartoon, being the Season 3 ep "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5".

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

He just said he was joking he is not being negative at all.
Also I don't think you speak for everyone I'm pretty sure there are a few G1 "people" who like stickers.
It was the fifth episode of season 3, so I'm guessing you stopped after Part 4 or so.RAR wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Swerve and Tailgate fought Trypticon in this cartoon battle.RAR wrote:Making a modern version of Greatshot or Six Knight isn't any different to me than it is making Swerve or Tailgate... they also didn't appear in a Western cartoon and only gained significance due to later fictional appearances.

Ok I stand corrected - I think I'd never seen that episode - I think I didn't manage to wade through all of season 3 so I likely stopped before I got that far (I think I stopped before the ark got destroyed for example) .
But it's interesting to see Pipes, Outback, Swerve, Tailgate in there as I genuinely didn't know that any of them were ever in the western cartoon. I notice Bumblebee has a roof cannon - I am surprised Takara didn't pick up on that as a bonus MP accessory.
I recall Cosmos, Powerglide, & Seaspray being in there so I obviously got that far. I really must finish watch those DVD's one of these days

So things in parts of the 1st 2 years like Nightbird & Kremzeek were new to me as I missed those episodes until it was on DVD. and boy was that bizarre seeing Kremzeek all that time late for the 1st time.
Anyway I'm pleased and surprised to find out (nearly all) the Minibots featured in the show after all.
Did they skip Hubcap ?

I wonder if Hasbro is aware how much we dislike there use of substandard sticker stock ?
Has anyone had a word in their ear about it at events ?
I actually don't mind the bonus sticker sheets - but those seem to be decent quality stickers so they are not an issue.
But Megatron for example really just needed some red paint on his wings - that was all. and a tampographed logo on his chest and on his jet nose.

I do find it odd that the stickers are only on the Titans Return toys, and not the RiD ones no matter the size. Maybe it's their way of saying: you want G1, we'll give you G1, stickers and all!
