New English Video Review of Transformers Studio Series #42 Revenge of the Fallen Long Haul

Wow!! After all of the nice Siege figures that have been released recently, it really accentuates just how absolutely awful the Bayformers are This guy looks horrible!

Dang,he looks great.

If they want do one repaint of this,they could do Canopy.

Because, as a collector and a fan since the 80's, I have opinions on what is good and what isn't. I also state my opinions because it's good when the fans voice likes and dislikes, in hopes that it moves towards better future design of these wonderful characters.

If you don't care for my opinion, you are far more than welcome to ignore me. Telling me to scram is neither appreciated nor productive

Long Haul looks awesome! I won’t be able to go for Devastator, but I think I will be getting a few of the constructions. I’m really excited to see what Mixmaster looks like, hopefully I’ll have him posed next to Ironhide to recreate the boss battle from the DOTM game.

Wonder if we’ll get some early reveals for SS like Siege did or if we have to wait till SDCC.

Yeah easy now scram was retired with the language manual for bullies from the 1950’s let’s all be chill and respect everyone’s opinions. No need to get anachronistically snarky.

I used to dislike them across the board but AOE Prime brought it back for me and I couldn’t help but like the Dinobots designs, not necessarily as the new Dinobots but the designs are pretty neat.

The new Studio series is helping me appreciate these designs now that Bumblebee helped me let go of some of my past disappointments. I’m able to see it in a more positive light these days. I’d say try one before deciding for sure. There had to be one design out of all those you at least liked more than ones you flat out hated right?

And as this is a discussion thread and not an appreciation thread I hear what you’re saying and I dig it. Nobody’s telling you to beat your feet and hit the bricks its a chat. An inclusive one. So long as points are articulate and not directly hurtful or anything.

Be here to be a fan of stuff, not just talk people down. You’re acting like you’re always late for a basketball game you seem to not be able to wait to dunk on people.

I get that it's a discussion thread, but dropping into a Bayformer thread just to express a fundamental unilateral dislike for them doesn't exactly feel like discussion, and I admit that it set me off...

How do people think the impending Studio Series Leader-class Scavenger will be able to improve on the ROTF Voyager Scavenger/Demolishor design while accommodating Devastator bits?

Scavenger is the problem for bot mode scale as he would have to be titan scale himself to be correct, I can live with him being leader Class though.

I can understand and appreciate where you are coming from on this, and I must admit that it was a bit of knee jerk reaction on my part, but it was coming from seeing this after having numerous very nice figures coming out of the Siege line recently (Springer, Optimus, Soundwave, Starscream, Jetfire, Omega Supreme, etc.) which in my opinion are superior designs.

In fact, I do collect the Bayformers too because I feel that some are good, but mainly to support Transformers overall, and in hopes that they are around for my children, grandchildren, and many generations in future.

As Stargrave stated well, this is a discussion thread and not an appreciation thread. Not everyone is going to agree on every design, and that is one of the beauties of these forums. In past, there have been plenty of opinions that I have disagreed with, but I wouldn't tell them to scram. My opinions are no more correct than the opinions of fellow users.

I apologise to everyone who is having to read this, and getting off topic, but I feel it's important that these forums are open to ALL opinions without the need for personal attacks.

That all being said, I am looking forward to seeing a complete Devastator

Ask and I can grant that wish
