Can't wait for that Vehicon though. I'm getting both Hasbro and Takara versions.

Aren't we getting an... Wait Animated
I agree, they don't look that different. And please don't pack Arcee's lady parts like that.
I'm getting a lot of Vehicons, and if the Hasbro's are sold out, then I'll get the Takara's to complete the army.
Hope they also make thet jet Vehicon.
And they should make spider fembot.

Can't tell if your frustration is aimed at me/my comment or the fact they use twist ties?

At the twist ties. I hate those things! I'm much better with pulling out knots.

That close-up of Prime appeals to me. It's got some strong colouring and crisp paint apps. Bumblebee also seems to be made of a richer yellow plastic. Not really digging the 'night-ops' Bulkhead look.

I hear ya. That being said, Bulkhead's new paintjob's lookin' good.

I mean when i hear these names through out the Transformers no matter what series it is, i always and i mean always see Prime and Megatron very tall, bulky and just massive and hasbro and takara still dont get it right.
There's a Deluxe Megatron that comes in that "Entertainment Pack" with Deluxe Optimus. Takara's just released Megs on his own.

Considering this is the Japanese version makes it all the more surprising that that the tits were mistransformed by a perv.

Dude, I'm a friken Jap, and I'm no perv. Wanna know why? Because I'm not a stereotypical Asian.
(cuz I was born here, Oregon (Oh hell yes!), and I live in the Americas).

When people make stupid and offensive comments like that, don't respond. He doesn't deserve your time, or anyone else's.
As for how they're packaged, Arcee's chest is like that because she wouldn't fit in the bubble otherwise. I own Arcee, I know. With the wheels and windshield on her back, plus the chesticle pieces, she wouldn't fit.

The question I find I'm asking myself is why do these people think the population of Japan are perverts? Because they've seen some pretty serious and disturbing hentai??? But how did they see it? It's not like it's the sort of thing you could randomly come across while channel-hopping.
I just thought they'd have kinder words to say about those who apparently provide them with so much entertainment.

Well, the problem is image.
The Japanese show themselves to be reserved, intelligent, proud people. Respect is one of their biggest deals. They demand it, they give it in return. Then you hear news reports about how women are treated like cattle and are groped on public transports, etc. Even US TV/film star Catherine Bell told a story of how she used her Martial Arts training to keep a Japanese business man off of her in an elevator, during a visit to Tokyo.
Then you add in the Hentai, plus gonzo "torture porn" films and their "ladyboy" thing they have going, and it makes outsiders think "Wow. Not only perverts, but twisted perverts."
For the most part, the Japanese are a fine and respectful people. Talk to most servicemen and they'll tell you that some of their best experiences, some of the nicest people? All in Japan.
The "pervs" are a small group, that shouldn't be a label for the rest of the people.

Whom are you referring to as thinking Japan is population of perverts? My piece in that whole sequence had nothing to do with the Japanese.
AS for transformation, Bbee fits but Arcee doesn't? I guess I would have to look at my toys to see the different widths.

No, not me, thank you.
I wasn't looking at it from a perv standpoint. Unless you own the figure, an I'm guessing you don't, then shut up about things you aren't privy to.
With the wheel on her back, plus the windshield, and the pointy chest pieces sticking out in the front, she will not fit in the bubble unless she's mistransformed.
Others mentioned "pervs" (labeling all Japanese that way, I must add) not knowing what to do about robot boobs.
Quote them and direct your remarks towards them, not me.

What I'm saying is, one should not fret over such a detail and making stereotypical assumptions, and move on. Besides, who would notice on first sight? I certainly didn't.
