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

I don't think they're actually any bigger. It's an optical illusion due to the angle of the camera in that comparison picture. There are some ambiguous depth cues going on too like the star pattern on the table top and the slightly non-parallel arrangement of the two guns.

Yeah, I don't mind it too much either to be honest, but you've got to admit it wouldn't be the first port of call when one is trying to show off how great the Broadside mold is.
Qwan wrote:Dagon wrote:1) does Tidal Wave not have a jet mode? Could they have removed the jet nose?
Tidal wave does have a jet mode as far as I'm aware, it's just that nobody's showing it off because that mold's jet mode is terrible awful and anyone who acknowledges it shall be exiled for ever and ever.![]()
But yeah, I think most people aren't showing it since Tidal Wave didn't originally have a jet mode and it is, all things considered, pretty underwhelming. I believe we got some pics of it back during NYTF though, if you wanna go looking for those...

Thats not an optical illusion

Kurona wrote:IDW accuracy in this line is... weird. They never go all-out like various Thrilling 30 figures or have a mostly-accurate version with only a few varying details like CW Ultra Magnus. It instead goes for a strange middle ground between referencing the comic and referencing the original toy like on Chromedome to the point I'm left thinking that maybe they should have just gone 100% in one direction rather than meeting half-way and not being an accurate depiction of either. But at the same time I'm somewhat grateful to have what little referencing there is so I can put the toys on the shelves and not be too bothered that Rewind doesn't have his camera or that Brainstorm doesn't have his really cool stylised head design? It's the heads that matter at the end of the day when evoking a character most of all.
SO WHY DIDN'T THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HEADMASTER GIMMICK TO GIVE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF A FIGURE'S HEAD TO PLEASE EACH PART OF THE FANDOM THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SO PERFECT![]()

Check your Rewind again. He has the little camera on the side of his face.

This officially licensed partsforming toy also exists:
There is also an Animated Minerva that was a Botcon exclusive
And not as expensive as I would have guessed on e-bay

Trust him, he's been doing this for much longer than you, there's a lot of undiscovered disappointment to be had in this franchise. Like how CW fizzled out among unpainted figures, or how the best figures in this line are never gonna see the light of day with proportionate heads

As for that Animated Minelba, what's the point? The colors are almost the same as the original Arcee. But if she's not that expensWIIIIILLLL YOU SONOVA!

My wife had to leave because I was laughing so hard.
Well, that partsforming Minerva/Minelba would be the Wonderfest 2015 Minerva Resin Kit. I have never seen it on e-bay. Funny enough, the other Resin kit they did for Wonderfest that people have been wanting is Metalhawk but he will finally get a proper release in the titans return line, but also in an exclusive boxset.
