There's a little too much black but I like the red and love the gold
I know the g2 headsculpt is supposed to be iconic but a little too generic for my liking
Still a definite buy for me, I like the g2 symbol on him

Very cool, I'm really digging how the Junkion aesthetic works with him, adds to the menacing feel.

As you saw with my comment about the headsculpt, the accuracy to the original is cool but a little more difference in headsculpt and some more color breakup would've been nice
I like that all of your replies sound like an excuse to correct people though, it's very pleasant

Road Pig is pretty damn cool!
I hope I'll be able to pick him up.

I think that's totally valid tbh, everyone's got their preferences!

I appreciate that! For those that wanted complete accuracy I'm happy for them
Imho I just think that sometimes too much accuracy can be a detriment instead of updating and improving a little. Of course, too much departure also sucks. Finding that middle ground is tough, I think the designers do a great job though
I was just being a little nitpicky

I totally get that feeling lol
I have a bit of a bias towards OG toy accuracy but I still value something fresh above all else. If it still feels like the character and looks like a very cool toy, I'm sold!

The original had too much black on it as well. Just because the update is faithful to it doesn't mean it has to be accepted, especially if the original isn't liked for the same reason.Sabrblade wrote:As opposed to...?Razorbeast88 wrote:There's a little too much black

I find the original's clear JOCKSTRAP to be hilarious.
Makes me want to get him.
Oh, and he's pretty affordable too!
Annnnd bought.

Ninjas often wear black.

Didn't realize til just now he also has the star seeker symbol on his toes, looks cool
After a 2nd look, this one definitely has more gold and red than the original and I appreciate that
Didn't realize he was a ninja. The road pig name threw me off and made me think of a biker gang member or something

Correction:
Ninja in fiction often wear black.
A real ninja can look like anyone or anything.
There's a relatively new video that explain the trope.

I think the issue with 'too much black' has to do with all the sculpted details on this Junkion mold that weren't on the G2 cycle mode; the spikes especially could have used some gold or silver to stand out, but slavish toy-accuracy makes it look like we're expected to pretend they aren't there. If the new body's an upgrade to go along with his membership in a new faction, than it warrants a little leeway in the deco department.
Still might pick this up, and see if I can build an alternate Junkasaurus someday.

Funny, I bought the original back in the day, and never thought anything of it. Maybe Road Rocket always aimed his light-up pizza-cutter straight at the enemy's crotch.-Kanrabat- wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:The original had too much black on it as well.

Ayup.
Also, a big, BRIGHT laser club. Perfect for stealth missions!

Haven't gotten in on much of Legacy yet, because of IRL constraints, but this looks like one to grab for sure.

Bikers can be ninja.
Pre-orders did open, but they've since sold out. Someone (can't find the original post) posted them right here in the forums.

Clicking this link redirects to a page about the upcoming Collector Con on July 18. Guess we can look forward to the official reveal of the figure then.Emerje wrote:Road Pig
