Short upper legs is a running theme on most transformers, just had a look at those near me and none have properly proportioned legs.

It reminds me of a novelty head that you might find on top of a shampoo bottle. The arms reminds me a lot of Titanium GI Joe Megatron, and that's not a good sign. The cannon, well I think the cannon is just backwards, but it's still too small to be Megatrons signature Fusion Cannon, ya know?

I find no problems with the head or arms, but I concede the canon and the legs. The canon is a perfect tank canon, but the bot mode need a 3rd party upgrade kit. I'm pretty sure some are already devloping a new canon for Megs. As for the legs, yeah, tiny tighs syndrome. Still, it's a classic TF trope so what can we do?

I'm thinking these mutli-packs might be the catalyst that forces TFWiki to change its "Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)" page to a "Transformers (2014 toyline) page.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Since I don't see TF4 or Age of Extinction anywhere, it's safe to assume they're like the blank 2010 line toys: they can fit in anywhere.

But then it would just be GDO Hot Spot in red. It'd look more like Fire Chief instead. At least with the crane arm we get something evocative of a ladder.Mindmaster wrote:That Hot Spot/Blades set though... Had they used Hot Spot's GDO head and the Inferno version of the mold, it'd be a little better. But as it stands, no thanks.

Oh my goodness, you guys! Blades has the color scheme of Fly-Up!
And Hot Spot being red makes him look a bit like Fire Chief!
Who said they were trying to be show-accurate? In fact, none of these bodies are show-accurate anyway, so how could they ever be show-accurate?mcfmullen wrote:The colors are all wrong. Not accurate to the show at all.

As is, it's a good match for the deco of Rescue Bots Blades.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:RotF Evac comes close enough to Blades, just switch out the orange for red:
