TF Views

Also got Warpath yesterday. I too am impressed also as well. Not much to say about WP, except that the transformation is simple yet complex enough that it doesn't feel cheap. Overall, it's a great update.

Dom
-seriously. Sodomy.

Specifically yours!

I think so. It surely doesn't fit the movie aesthetic.

Cool review on Chopsaw.


I also got Warpath back at the end of June, and he is indeed quite awesome. Everything just works nicely, even though it is an H-tank.

Some RTS moulds are movie based though. Yeah, it is a mess.

I was going to mention that, but if you look at what's in the RTS line, almost none of those figures are movie AESTHETIC. Brimstone may be a movie line figure, but he doesn't look it in any way. Neither does Hubcap or Breacher or Hailstorm or Mindwipe or Seaspray.

Mindwipe was NEST, so still ROTF. Some of the figures look like it more than others.

I don't like H-tanks either, but I like Warpath. He only has the H in the front, and only a little bit.

Also, since I just got Lugnut, allow me to take some time to state how awesome he is, though I do have a soft-spot for WWII vehicles and weaponry.

I tend to sort figures by packaging. So, Breacher and Chopsaw would be movie figures, despite looking like CHUG figures. Similarly, CHUG and UT moulds repacked as movie toys are movie figures, even if they do not look right next to movie figures.

RTS is problematic because it shares moulding with CHUG and Bayformers. Correct me if I am wrong, but that last wave of scouts, (the one that barely shipped), included both "Reveal the Shield" and "Hunt for the Decepticon" packaging.


Dom
-not even going to bring up "Hunt for the Decepticons" Sandstorm.

I sort my more by aesthetic. Don't get me wrong, I get the packaging approach, but I'm not slavish to it. For example, I am getting rid of Universe Powerglide and using DOTM Powerglide as my stand in for a Classics one because I like the mold better.

DotM Powerglide looks too movie to be CHUG (Classics, Henkei, Universe, Generations) though.
