Design Aspects that bug me
Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2010 1:10 pmIs it just me or does everyone think that the Rotf toy designs are freaking weird. Arcee and Chromia are like pipe cleaners some kid got bored with. What was wrong with the Arcee design from the first movie? Demolishor looks like a pogo stick with wheels. Rampage IS a pogo stick. Devastator is some gorilla thing with a hyper vacuum cleaner for a mouth. Megatron has a shriveled arm. Ravage is a cyclops and the fallen is a walking "solar panel". What was with with the fallen's neck frill thingy moving? And WHY THE HELL DO TRANSFORMERS NEED MORE THAN ONE THUMB! See long haul and the fallen
I swear that the designers were just thinking " how can we screw up these characters as much as possible without making them too retarded?" i admire them for trying to think outside the box but this is WAY too far. The designs are really hit-and-miss. Good bots would be Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, Jetfire, The Twins, Sideswipe, Jolt [for the whole three seconds we saw him], Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Wheelie. Good 'cons are Starscream, Long Haul, Sideways, Grindor [Ughh painful name], Mixmaster, and Scalpel. I wont go into toy characters but most of them are good. Some just make me want to puke though. {cough, coughRampage}
