Hm. So it unfortunately doesn't fix the one problem the toy has (all the face details being obscured by the big blotch of red)

Actually, it really isn't. Takara's version has a light, almost pinkish-orange face, with a terracotta-ish visor. Check out my pic that I uploaded at TFW2005 (sorry, but until Seibrtron fixes it's picture upload limits, even cropped, tiny mobile phone pics can't be uploaded here) :

Eeeeh... it's a little better, but not quite enough.

Its not that there is a problem that needs fixing, its just a different way fo doing things (just like Hasbro and Takara are doing things differently with their decos in this line, nothing inferior, just different). If you want to post pics, just upload it to an mage hosting site (like photobucket) and copy paste a direct image link. We can then see what you are talking about. You can use that method for both site too and it's not hard to employ

Thanks, but I disagree. On mobile, it IS a hassle, as copying and pasting URLs between typing img codes causes all manner of problems. Thus, I will continue to post images at TFW2005 for the time being, thanks.

All YOU have to do is simply click on the link I have posted, go to TFW2005 and see it there. Easy.

Let's hope Seibertron can update this stance on photo uploads. I understand that there are challenges, such as bandwidth (especially during conventions, etc), but in this day and age, and especially as competing sites already offer generous upload limits, then makig the site easier to post pics should be strongly considered. It's the main reason why i don't submit pics at seibertron and why i usually go to TFW2005 instead (even though I have complained there numerous times about their site, too). For me, with regards to posting pics, the others sites are all more preferable.

Don't some of you still think that AoE Scorn would make a great Takara Legends Beast Wars Megatron?

Like this?








Or even this?








He also makes a good Optimus Prime Primal Mode:

YESSSSSSSSSSS.

That mold really doesnt work for Megatron, not enough bulk.

He could have been doing some more cardio than lifting

I see where you are coming from, but I think it would look fine if it was retooled more into a T-rex to at least make THAT more accurate. Heck, they could just leave the back fins off, and retool the head and dino arms. The overall proportions also remind me a lot of this guy:



It was mostly kibble that gave him extra bulk in both old and newer versions.

Use Imgur. They have a mobile app that's easy to upload to, and they offer pre-formatted embed codes in various flavors (tags included) that you can copy and paste. Or you can upload from your phone to Imgur and write the post on a computer. Lots of options.


RE: Takara Fortress. Shame they glued the legs shut.

[Seibertron]

Is there a reason why you can't upload images directly through our forums? We don't have any bandwidth restrictions. I would prefer to have you guys upload the images directly here. If there are issues with uploading images, just let me know and I'll look into a solution for it. Thanks!

There's an upload limit, and it's not very big.

[Seibertron]

I'm not sure why you are receiving that error message. Just double checked the settings, it's set to 10mb per attachment which is fairly reasonable. I just compared that setting to the size of some of my recent photos from my camera and most of the images are around 3mb each at 4912x3264, which I don't have any problem uploading (attaching a test just to verify). I'll send you a private message so that I can figure out a solution to why you are receiving that error message.

I can't believe no one has mentioned this problem before. Urgh. I think the issue has been resolved. Can you try again? Thanks.

Seems to have worked!

Thanks Ryan! This makes uploading much easier! Sorry I didn't think to mention anything before.

[King Kuuga]

I just assumed it was either deliberate, or controlled by the board software outside of admin control.

There are some images with the same issues that I have encountered too. That's why I occasionally use postimage or imgur.

Fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath has shared with us a couple of images found on the Twitter feed of the official Takara Tomy Transformers PR account, featuring the Legends LG36 figure of Soundwave - check out below the Decepticon communications expert squaring off against mould mate Blaster and being wooed by Moonheart from the upcoming Unite Warriors Megatronia set, and compare him to the Hasbro version in our galleries here!

Been reading about QC issues in TR figs. Skullcruncher is the same with the TL version. Scourge's head in TL is much improve as in tight. Still haven't received Weirdwolf but the canopy cracks?
