Mainline RID Vehicon looks better than FE

No noses? No problem! Zombiebots? Sure, why not. A confusing new canon that allows loose and contradictory material? And now a new sequel show with an entirely different art style that takes place way in the future!

Mainline RID Vehicon looks better than FE

They put the windshield that'd normally be awful kibble (like that seen on the FE version) and shoved it into the feet instead. That's brilliant, this figure looks so good I'm sure that - barring some horrible disastrous flaw that's not obvious from looking - I'll end up buying any repaint/remold they do.

Now if we can get them to not short-pack this army-builder, and then if we can get them to think with this much engineering thought more often, we'll be back in business.

It would also be nice if more people had the chance to make this call themselves, ya know, because they could easily find both.

In all seriousness, short-packing an army builder is the kind of thing that makes skipping out of the hobby this year much easier.

Yes, it most definitely would.

Hasbro seems to think that army builders would warm pegs, that they're not popular with kids compared to name characters. So instead we get to army-build Bumblebee. :roll:

That said, I wouldn't miss this figure for the tea in china.
