Video Review for Transformers WFC Siege Optimus Prime and Megatron

Wasn't one of the things that Hasbro revealed about Optimus that he had some form of Hover-truck mode?

Yep. It's in the video!

So it is That's what I get for commenting before watching the review I may end up getting this version if I can find it cheap and just using the hover mode as his alt mode cause while it's not that big of a change, it reminds me of the games, especially the G1 Prime skin in multiplayer

Seeing a 360 of the OP truck, I really hope Hasbro will make a remold into his original G1 sculpt later down the line, cause this base mold and transformation scheme makes a great clean generations G1 prime...

Well, crap. Up till now I was actually going to pass on both Megs and OP. These photos are making me question my decision. Despite being disappointed that Has/Tak didn’t take the opportunity to do anything new or creative with their Cybertronian alt modes, these figures do look awfully nice. And I can’t be surprised by their appearance, with the companys’ push to solidify their more evergreen designs across the various lines.

I have to say that the package design looks phenomenal. I generally only keep boxes and card backings for older toys, or for big box sets/exclusives. I think the only other exception is the SS line. But I’m definitely keeping these boxes. I dig the wedge shapes. I think they’re going to help these stand out on shelves. The artwork on these is what puts these over the top. It looks great. This is some beautiful product design.

Where did you order them from?

Great. I went from not wanting these at all to immediately wanting to hunt them down: that's how good they appear to be 'in hand'.

Well of creativity from Hasbro ? or acceptance factor from the average Tfan ?

When I see debates about Potp prime fists being gray instead of blue.. I somewhat understand why Hasbro continues to play secure.

Who said "the worst punishment is to give men what they desire the most" ? because it's how I feel the generation line currently. Hasbro gives fandom exactly what they wanted for years, and fans are not happy. and less and less happy in fact.

↑ ACCEPTANCE FACTOR!

Like this Terrible MEGATRON..
Sure Battle damage looks cool. But his legs Look goofy & his head sculp is way off!
Its face don't resemble G1 Meg's IMO. His Helmet is to wide also, plus there's to much forhead black. Making the entire sculp look SMASHED! & By comparison to last years PoP. Megateon Voyager its A No Brainer- that the PoP. Version is twice as nice.
>> Although, I will happily buy OP. Though.

But Yea "Acceptance factor" 100% Spot on!
Im getting real Sick of almost everyone (or it would seem) outside of comicsgate community anyhow, being so accepting & quick to praise trash! Esp. TV & Bots.

E.g. I was happy to see such A Negative backlash to TiTans Starfire being cast as Anna Diop (who is A Lovely black woman) BUT,,, She's not built for an Iconic Character like Teen Titans Starfire! Who's an Upper Eschelon "comic babe". Alittle tiny, cute & petite black chic is far from A 6ft. Miami Beach; Banging Red head broad w/ A Really bad orange tan. Which she's been for almost 50yrs. Thus I was happy My YouTube video "Teen Titans trailer Trash" (see: "5 Fold Understanding" YouTube) Went over really well w/ people....

>> NOTE: I got IDW "UNICRON" (Begans) #0 & #1 comics up for reading (than I review) on my channel as well, Nobody watchs those ones. HaHa! IDW Is cool w/ people introducing the starting points to their comics to get people to buy the rest of the series. Like promotion. To help bring new readers to there Hit & Miss Transformers comic book mythology.

Alright first of all you should try to stay a bit more on topic, and second of all I don't think people liking this Megatron is part of the acceptance factor. Personally I quite like the way it looks and for those like myself who haven't had many options for a reasonably priced voyager Megatron (that isn't just a grey Blitzwing) this is a great option. He isn't perfect but it is unreasonable to expect him to be.

I think it would depend on where the battle damage is. On top of unpainted plastic and you're good to go, if it's on top of other paint it will be much harder.

Why didn't he do the Bot size comparison's of the Classics and Sieges the way he did the OP's in truck mode? I still can't tell which are taller. It feels like these reviewers are hiding it with these crouched down poses.
