Deja Vu,I've figured out MP-12 Lambors robot height.

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

I can forgive the Dodge viper alt mode & robot designs . Because of the Beautiful sculpt.

I can't forgive the restricted range of movement in the hips & knees. this ruins the whole toy for me.

Alternators Sunstreaker looks better in both modes. Because I hate Transformers with convertible car roofs.

I absolutely loved the Alt line and... I don't remember any problems with the legs on Sideswipe at all, but I'll confess that I never tried to have him Kung Fu fighting either.

Late to the party, but I am quite miffed at how short this "Masterpiece" is. What is defining a Masterpiece when they're the size of a $20 Voyager? Sure, they paid attention to the details, but shouldn't that be their job anyway? Shouldn't we get Voyagers and Deluxes that are good figures every release instead of saving up the super-awesome juice for MPs, especially when they're coming in so small? I don't give a donkeypunch about MP10's scale being the ultimate sign of perfection, I was fine when MP-1 scaled to the Alternators figures and they were $20. Seems like tinySwipe is just intended to generate profits. I put up with MP-8 Grimlock's short stature because it was a cool figure that was still notably bigger than the mainline releases, but that doesn't really translate to Sideswipe or any of those types of characters as well.

See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?

Sideswipe is smaller than Optimus Prime!

What...what part of that is hard to get?!

I mean, sure, alright, $150 is a little crazy for his height. But damn dude. It doesn't...make any sense to make a Sideswipe that big! It's...augh!

I can't believe I'm doing this but it sums up my feelings exactly.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.
