They were animating episodes at stupid speeds, to stupid deadlines and to stupid budgets. By all means hate on the cartoon and its aesthetic all you like, but the animators did insanely well to make that show look as good as it did, given the constraints they were under.
I’m not sure that ‘laziness’ is an adjective we should be using to describe the toon art department. They worked their asses off!
Now, some of the scripts, on the other hand...
So the toy goes out of its way to technically makes no sense and represent animation simplification.

But typically they would rarely go over the $200 price point with many of the car Autobots costing $80, which I could work into my budget. If the starting price starts to edge towards the $200 mark that would probably price me out right now, which would be a shame, because I have most of the previously released figures I want other than Ratchet & maybe MP-09, & I would hate to have to tap out because Takara is just trying to test where the line is in the general fans' pocket books.
. Not unless it self-transforms. That said, power to those who can afford this. My favourite Transformers is and always has been the G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron, and it'll be hard to beat the MP-10 and MP-36 - they're a magnificent work of art.Ironhidensh wrote:The real kicker for me in all of this? I want this figure. It looks simply amazing, and I am one of the lucky ones here who can afford this price. But I can't justify it by any means. I have two little boys, and we have started trying to teach them the value of money. How can I do that with a straight face when I waste money on something like this? Answer: I can't.
Oh well, we move on.

Clampdown already exists as MP-14C, uness you want an animation style figure of a character that was never in the 'toon?

Deep cover is a sideswipe repaint.
