Seibertron, Ultimate Transformers Resource!

[Optimutt]

This looks awesome! Very happy I pre-ordered TT Tracks, Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, LugNut,and MP Rodimus. So very looking forward to these works of beauty.

Soo. . .not only are they calling him Optimus prime instead of convoy, their also calling it Cybertron instead of Seibertron? >.>, well, even though this aint as bad as changing Convoy into Optimus, I'm still not liking it, it is the site's name after all. =L

Those pics just don't do the paint jobs justice. The difference between Generations Drift and United Drift are much, much, MUCH, bigger than this makes it look. Generations Drift looks like a yellowed smoker's toy next to super snowy white United Drift.

Hmm, Grapple's hook is chromed here. I still hold out hope that the retail release will be chromed!

im surprised no one noticed the fact that they put cybertromian megatron instead of cybertronian megatron lol

I find it surprising they have comparisons with US figures, period.

I'm not seeing enough to justify a United purchase over RTS. All I need to do is wait for my reprolabels and I'm good.

The only United I'm considering is Bumblebee, and even that depends on how shiny he is. Even so, I could repurpose him as another form, maybe Goldbug with a new head...

I like the Tracks' Comparison. It's like they are saying, "Hey, look, we didn't F*** it up. We know what Tracks' hood looks like and we know the RTS gimmick is lame on classic characters."

Can anyone tell me what's up with the two WFC OP and Megs figs on the bottom right corner of this pic? Why are their feet so huge?

Maybe just an illusion caused by the angle of the feet? It's the only thing I can think of.

I guess. The figs look non-transformable, too. Could they be a part of some RPG? I noticed a stat page of OP and Bumblebee right below them.

Actually, that's a screenshot of a Japanese Transformers Arcade game, which uses the cards included with Animated toys.

So that's what it is. The question remains, though; that the frak are those two bigfoot WFC OP and Megs figures? If it's an arcade game, then...prize figures, perhaps?

Honestly, I'm more curious than anything else, really. Those huge feet just look so weird.

More like computer models for said game.
