@limegreenhunk2452 2 года назад

A lot of the issues with this figure would've been completely excusable if this thing was a leader figure, and trust me it's not either too complicated or too big to not be a leader. Studio Series Leader Grimlock is bigger than this guy, and this transformation is pretty simple too. Especially for a masterpiece. I mean I'd argue Leader Dino Megatron has as complex a transformation as this. Literally all they'd have to change to make this a leader figure is remove some of the accessories and get rid of the die cast. It almost feels like this was supposed to be a Legacy figure but with minor upgrades to make it a "masterpiece."

23:16 Alternative, more complex, but possibly better overall alternative: Have the Bogey be two halves (front and back), which share a common rotation axis *until fully rotated 180°* , at which point, they will actually separate and fill in either side of the leg.

This is probably one of my favorite reviews of yours yet. I've been a fan since the early wfc reviews and I feel they've been increasing in quality ever since. The jokes in this one are top notch - I loved the whole five stages of grief motif, plus the whole law and order thing was hilarious. I also really love your animation, it's so smooth and satisfying, especially the chest-to-robo thing! And lastly, I love the inclusion of Thomas characters. Being a fan of the show myself I can't help but adore the opening skit, it got a good chuckle out of me, plus that one shot of percy was oddly satisfying. All in all, another stellar video, despite the figure in question being rather meh (those feet scare me so bad lol). Can't wait for the next one! 😁

These really feel like they were meant to be like a big $200 titan class combiner in chug or even a haslab project but the last second that idea shifted to putting them in the masterpiece halfway through designing making The designers have to go back to the drawing board and add stuff to make them feel “premium” which mostly fall flat

@primeoetgrunn 2 года назад

I have a feeling that most of the price of the figure comes from the licensing and the (as far as I know) absolutely massive train sub-culture in Japan compared to most of the rest of the world, meaning that the people this thing is made for (Japanese salary men who were kids in the '80's) are probably ready, willing and able to shill out the Yen for it. I just hope that we can get a CHUG version of these characters, no matter the accuracy to any real trains. We need more trains and boats in the main lines of Transformers. Heck, just re-issue RiD '01 Rail Racer. Those guys are still awesome.

@theprimegamer7086 6 месяцев назад

the in scale vehicle transformers really drives home the idea of the initial conflict between soldiers and workers decepticons not only being trained for war and having agressive alternate modes, but being much larger than the average autobot. this also really helps the issue with there being so many more autobots than decepticons when the first toys were released (also reminds me that animated did that very same thing with scale and is just another point towards TFA being possibly the best transformers series)

@interstellarskunkworks8283 2 года назад

Great review! I really like how you bring some knowledge about toy-engineering to the table in your criticisms, it makes your thoughts and points stand out and feel really genuine, as you're not just talking about stuff you think would look better or be better, but actually bringing objective evidense the designs either do something very well, or could easily do something a lot better. I also must commend you on that opening skit, it was hilarious! It also hit on some nostalgia for me, because I grew up with Transformers as well as Thomas, so I came up with weird crossover fan-fics between the two when I was 5 or 6. On the subject of this figure, I honestly agree with you about everything. I don't like how a lot of Takara's figures feel overpriced, or have an unnecessarily jacked up part count to justify said price (like MP 44 or 45), but this is the first MP I've seen that feels utterly unfinished--and in a worse way than the MPM figures sometimes do. Usually one thing Takara does well is getting anime-y, almost gundam-esque proportions for characters, but the blocky legs and stubby thighs feel really CHUG, the combiner mode is so shoddy looking it gives me flashbacks to the 2017 minicon three-pack, and all the clear plastic seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I am aware that you are a not a fan of the set, and that it has its own issues, but if MPG Getsuei doesn't do it for you, I would recommend picking up one of the Moon Toys figures just to see what you think of it. Even without the proper model train scaling, they appear to have much more satisfying transformations and prettier robot modes.

I hope you get the full set. I would assume the experiences from those working in the Prime Trilogy wouldn’t amount to too much due to weight differences.
