WOW. They couldn't make a bigger step down if they tried.

Could that be a good thing, maybe? A sign of some sort of continuity or consistency?

Screw consistency, why start now?

The sculpt or the paint? To me the sculpt looks perfectly fine, but he needs a considerable amount more silver paint. He strangely has the same paint layout as G1 Prime, what with being dominantly blue with a sliver mouth plate and crest on his head and blue eyes.

I like the sculpt so hopefully Takara Tomy gives us something better painted.

Like I said, the toy seems to be built better than the Leader, and is more accurately proportioned. At least that's good. I am just hoping Takara comes out with an "Armor Knight" version of this guy with all that remolding and extra paint apps.

However, that's just in comparison with the one from the last movie. Maybe the CGI render for Prime in this movie is more like this new toy than we think?

Edit: I hope Takara's also paints his sword silver instead of that stupid orange.

It's just mistransformed.

Apparently the chest panels are meant to be swung up into place properly.

Oh my gosh that looks way better. You are awesome Emerje!

I still like my Takara FoC one, but an accurately scaled classics version would be great! I do realize that may be just an example of how they do their process rather than an actual figure, though.

Also the Optimus mold looks good, but looks like a lot of the detail might get lost in the blander plastics. I want to see him in hand, but I might get him if he's as complex as he looks.

If you hit reply rather than quote you can scroll down to the topic preview where you can multi-quote then.

Yes this works very well and saves a lot of time too. just press any of the 'quote' buttons in the scrolling window under the composition window and they pop up in the main frame.

You may have to edit them a bit though to remove an original quote or a large block of pictures - but it's still a lot quicker that way.

There is! Just add multiple quotes to your post.

Like so:

I don't agree with it.

I agree with this one though.
