*cries*

These are just awful. Sideswipe is the only one with real potential.

[Tekka]

Dammit, just the main sets... How much longer must I wait before I get to see the Skywarp Kreon!

[Megatron Wolf]

out of all the ones we've seen so far only Prime & Mirage look somewhat decent the rest just look like half assed attempts at legos that failed horribly.

[Manterax Prime]

@ Autobot032: Look at it this way, they actually have articulation unlike the BTR sets. I think they're much better than those sorry excuses for bricks.

[NemesisMonkeySupreme]

I'm not in to these, but at least they gave them decent-looking heads. Sentinel Prime's, Optimus Prime's, Megatron's, Starscream's. Even with connecting blocks, Bayverse bodies with "real TF" heads makes a big difference. Hasbro should take note.

[Flux Convoy]

Hasbro should take note.

Of what? These ARE Hasbro product.

[billprestonesquire]

i just want the mini-figures!

[NemesisMonkeySupreme]

Losing the craptastic Bayverse bug-heads on the rest of their line, or at least give us exchangeable heads… Especialy for Sentinel Prime. That movie head is awful.

[CrimsonPrime]

Wow megatron looks horrible...Why is he black o.o!? And what's up with that horrible head...

Sentinel's body look too wide and weird >.>...And the head looks like a G1 head o.O...

[Mykltron]

That's the best DotM Prime yet.

[CrimsonPrime]

That's the best DotM Prime yet.

As much as it hurts me to admit that a Lego Transformers that cant even transform can beat a Voyager class...What you said is 100% true XD ! In fact I plan on buying him for my first Kre-O .

But then again that might be because the Voyager mold and the Ultimate mold looks like crap

[craggy]

That's the best DotM Prime yet.

you've gotta be kidding! He's a "brick".

[Tekka]

It's the classic head that makes a world of difference for me. I'm not even sure how I would describe Movie Prime's head... Whatever it is, I don't particularly like it.

[prowl123]

Wow.

These all look so... bad.

Especially Starscream. His porportions are way off.

So Hasbro should take note of something they're already applying to these toys and then apply it to these toys? I'm missing something.

[Kibble]

Prime looks okay for not-Legos...although, isn't it ironic Hasbro is '3rd Partying' Legos? Wait, I forgot...it's okay for Hasbro to borrow from other people's ideas, it's just not okay for FP and the like to do it. THEN it's IP infringement!

Yes, obviously you are.

You can't apply a lesson to the same lesson. The inferred lesson is to be applied to the line of toys with the (subjectively seen) crappy heads. Sigh.

Perhaps a clearer statement, since logical steps aren't working:

It's the classic head that makes a world of difference for me. I'm not even sure how I would describe Movie Prime's head... Whatever it is, I don't particularly like it.

Makes me wish every Movie-line figure came with an exchangeable G1/Classic-style head. I know I'd buy waaaaay more Movie figures that way (so, sadly, it's probably better for me that they don't).

Had you said this in the first place, there wouldn't have been any confusion. Instead, you try to make me out to be an idiot over your poorly worded post. Perfectly reasonable logic there. Also, if you're really complaining about the movie aesthetic at this point, you're a little late to that party. We're three movies in. Complaining about it obviously has done nothing to change the direction that part of the franchise is going in. Really, why would G1 heads make any sense with the rest of the body anyway? It's a poor fit. Well, that and we're looking at Transformers Legos that basically have nothing to do with anything prior.

I'll give you that. Things are often clearer in my head because all the background is there and not in my words.

But in regards to it (movie styling) being no reason to complain three movies in because it hasn't had any affect so far… If that held true these boards would be pretty sparse, though possibly more interesting. Can't help but think though, not that scale of importance is even possible, whether you agree politically or not the fact is Egyptians and Libyans complained for 30-40 years and it might finally make a difference.

Peace.
And sorry for being a jerk, Michael Bay does that to me. Often.
