Man I'd love to see a more "IDW" looking Rodimus. At this point, I'm thinking an entire series ala Transformers Animated but with Alex Milne and Andrew Griffith at the helm instead of Animated's Derrick Wyatt.

How many times can we agree in one thread? I love the IDW designs, and I'm a bit sad this Hot Rod looks almost nothing like his IDW counterpart.

Magnus's Leader toy was based on Nick Roche's comic design of the character, so he already looked like that in the comics long before the Leader toy was conceived. His toy was one of the many that were based on a comic design, rather than the opposite of having the comic use a character's toy design.Ironhidensh wrote:Sadly, it's far moremoved likely Hasbro will have IDW start drawing the characters like their toys, like they did with Starscream. I thought Magnus was a good sign too, but now I think it's more if a fluke.

Does he, though? I had a look at his head back when I was listing all the IDW-inspired Generations toys, and it looks less like IDW G1 First Aid specifically and more just like a general non-specific-version of G1 First Aid, with any similarities to IDW First Aid being only rudimentary. Is there something I missed?Kurona wrote:Not to mention the fact that despite being a retooled combiner limb, CW First Aid looks very IDW.

Wait, are you referring to Generations as a whole? Then what about Skids? Deluxe Megatron? Swerve? Tailgate? Trailcutter? Springer?
Leonardo wrote:Take your lips off my pipe!
Yeah, it's primarily the robot modes that Hasbro used for the IDW-inspired Generations toys. But all of the following Generations toys (whether in just robot mode or all modes) are based on designs that originated in either the comics or by the comics' artists:Ironhidensh wrote:Kurona wrote:Ironhidensh wrote:Only Magnus and Brainstorm really look like their IDW designs, in my opinion.

I'll give you springer.
The problem is IDW has moved on to almost all Cybertronian alt modes, and Hasbro still kept most generations figures with Earth alt modes.
Doesn't make them bad toys.

In the case of Ultra Magnus, Nick Roche did his design for MTMTE, debuting in the first issue in January 2012. The Leader class toy didn't come along until just last year, three whole years after Roche's design debuted.RodimusRex wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Magnus's Leader toy was based on Nick Roche's comic design of the character, so he already looked like that in the comics long before the Leader toy was conceived.

Hasbro has occasionally consulted with artists on designs, right? I'm not sure how much is, say, Hasbro developing a toy with an artist in well in advance of a figure, how much is the reverse.

You don't happen to have an image of this, do you?

'GO! Fire laser Man! The children are in danger!'
Hey Cobotron, I never commented, but I read one of your comments awhile back about MP 28 and how you prefer the beefy look of the G1 toy with the exhausts and wheels on his legs instead of his animation ballet dancer self, and it got me thinking; what if it was possible to make a Hot Rod figure where you can choose to keep those bits there, or move them off-looks like TR Hot Rod can do just that!
