Yes out of all things that are important Hubcaps should be Hasbro's priority /s.

Considering how wheels are used as decoration in bot mode, and their prominence in vehicle mode, you'd be amazed at how much it makes a figure pop

They did, hence why Hasbro Trailbreaker has painted hubcaps, and thats probably the same toy we see in the pic.

Nope, it's because it shares paint apps with it's mold-mates, one reason why both ironhide and offroad have them, and first aid doesn't. Rook didn't have them, and neither swindle nor hound have them (hound arguably has no paint apps) The only ones to go against this are breakdown into wheeljack, and streetwise into Prowl

Either way, painted hubcaps really need to be a standard, the last two waves of cw had some appalling lack of paint apps, and rid is little better

Fellow Seibertronians, hot on the heels of his reveal, and courtesy of fellow fan Taylor Ivie, we now know that TakaraTomy Mall have put up official images of the newly rechristened Unite Warriors EX Lynx Master. It shows the team off in their combined form as well as in their individual modes, and seems to indicate that Ratchet will include Rooks weapon accessory as well as Trailbreaker having a painted hand/foot/gun accessory. The site further states that it will retail for 16,200 Yen. The images can be seen below, and, as always, leave your thoughts and comments below.

Name change Alert! Name Change Alert!

He's no longer called "Sky Reign". The combined form of Captain Modesty is now called Lynx Master (リンクスマスター rinkusumasuta).

The only deluxes with unpainted hubcaps are the military and civil service vehicles...but hey, who am I to judge if you want shiny things on your combat units?

Combat units have colored rims, usually something in drab military colors, as do civil service vehicles, firetrucks have normal chromed rims, like cars...

Wheeljack looks MUCH better with the chest paint. The black shoulders and forearms also help to break up the boringness. He also pops better in white instead of whatever off-white color Hasbro put out.

I would have far and away preferred getting that Ratchet over Smokescreen.

Yeah, I know, who'da figured, right? The figures look amazing, when you give them paint apps

In this case I like more SkyLinx from Hasbro

Sky Lynx himself doesn't look all that different from Hasbro's, but the added paint on all of the limb-bots really make them pop!

Trailbreaker having a painted hand/foot/gun accessory, which would be a first in either line

Not true. Breakdown's HFG piece was lavender painted over black.

It does, doesn't it? It's really sobering to see what could have been
