Which should go nicely with little Ark and Nemesis ships for Unicron!

Minus the waist which is too small! At least the crotch piece is ... the purple piece that should go out to the gray pieces that flank the sides of his hips. Why does that piece stop and show the black underneath?

I wonder. Is that going to seriously detract from your enjoyment of the figure overall?

Don't get me wrong ... I really like it. It's just not quite right and I don't understand the design choice, kind of like ScottyP's comment about the face. It's just a little "off". That design choice was just one of the things I immediately noticed when I saw these pics and I can't unsee it. Kind of like Masterpiece Megatron's vagina crotch.

Not the 'vagina crotch' again. LOL

In truth, besides Hot Rod and maybe Blurr, all the movie guys faces are off just a bit. That part I get.

Autobot shuttle, you mean. It's not the Ark.

And there's no Nemesis either.

In other news, turns out Dinobot's purple sword is actually brown beneath all its paint:

I think I'm going to buy an Omega Supreme. I see him standing back there behind Kingdom Inferno.

I didn't even notice that Inferno was even in that pic, his red kinda blends in with the red of Dinobot's tail weapon.

VERY worth it but be prepared to pay the secondary market price.

Now that would be amazing! The Galvatron figure is acceptable, but his chest is too big, by the looks of these shots the cannon will also be too big. And there is also the unnecessary battle damage. This figure needs to be retooled and redecoed into Straxus and maybe even Jhiaxus.

Well if there is one lesson to be learned from 3P via New Age Toys


The Galvatron mold has a surprising amount of retool potential.

BBTS has him on preorder for $170 USD right now, due for release next month.

Even I'd consider Omega Supreme, as he is a really impressive figure. Well, with a certain redeco...

Retconed into an even more OP'ed G2 form... that's actually resistant to Buzzsaw

A third or fourth chance?
Well well well, that's nice!

Buzzsaw: Titan Slayer
Why has this never been A thing?

I mention this specifically for this line, as I am somewhat hopeful that "Ark" might see a potential retool/redeco as Animated Omega Supreme.

Omega Supreme swatting Buzzsaw aside saying "Not today" would be more than plenty to reference it, and easy to put in. So what gives

Bombshell: the Ark has Omega's head.

Yes, but That:



Isn't the same as This:



As I said, I'm optimistic. But Animated OS will likely forever dwell in the "Never Make" Thread. Even when a Transforming Ark Shuttle figure actually exists.

There's almost certainly a chance that an upgrade kit will be made to give the Ark Omega's head. Either through DNA Design, or a fan making a 3D printable head

Omega's tempting, but I hate that it destroys the scale of my collection.

Nobody here is talking about Galvatron's alt mode, but I gotta say: looks good. I mean I wasn't expecting much, but it delivers on being Galvatron's alt. mode.

Previous page, just not newsed yet.

I'm have a hard time trying to favor one over the other, but I guess I can fanon something up...

I never realized G1 Galvatron had tank treads, all this time I thought he was the equivalent to an artillery emplacement and not technically mobile in alt mode. After looking at G1 toy pics and this pic of Kingdom's alt-mode I have to say I do appreciate the more pronounced tank treads. And although I don't have an attachment to the original toy or Marvel Galvatron, if the rumored Selects release happens he will be my Galvatron II.

...And the cannon mode looks awesome too. Thank you, toy designers.

Why is the arm part of the cannon incorporated into the altmode now?
I kept thinking something about the proportions looked off.

^ Wording that carefully, to not be crude...

It seems to be an option. The other alt mode pic shows that part of the cannon on the top. Even if it's hard to make out.

Well, I'm looking forward PROPER pictures of Galvatron because we can't see much on these half-assed shots.

It's funny that all of that has to come off so Huffer can tow Prime's trailer. At least the kibble isn't necessary for alt-mode like Warpath's shield.
