Description Well here I have one last piece for 2011, so HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry for the lack of communication in December, but it\'s been just such a very busy month. Also, ever since Christmas I\'ve been very busy with Skyward Sword. LOL This picture is sort of a fruition of Christmas. I got a bunch of Prime figures for Christmas (though some shown here I\'ve owned for a while already). I also took this pic with my Mom\'s new camera she got for Christmas. I have concluded it is terrible. Next time I take a photo of a TF, it\'ll be with the good camera. I tried to reinact the scene off the TFP DVD cover, obviously minus Ratchet, Soundwave and Eradicons since they\'ve not been released yet. Wish Starscream and Megatron were more visible though.

This picture\'s also here to communicate my thoughts on some of the figures.

Optimus is very nice, but I wish his face plate was retractable and he has very ugly heel spur. His alt mode doesn\'t hold together very well either. His robot mode is fantastic though and is worlds ahead of the deluxe.

Cliffjumper, what can I say? He may not be incredibly show accurate, but he\' still a fantastic toy full of character. I can\'t wait to get zombie Cliff and his second release [link] .

Bulkhead is another very cool toy. Though like Cliffjumper, he isn\'t completely show accurate, but it\'s very close. I can\' believe he can transform into a vehicle actually. I just wish his mouth was on a hinge and that he was coloured better in certain areas.

Megatron is probably my favourite deluxe TFP figure, aside from Cliffjumper. He looks pretty spot on to the character model and he\'s very expressive. And for what his alt mode is, I like it. He also has incredible light piping.

I know I didn\'t say comments on some of the figures, but I just felt like mentioning some of my opinions that I thought were remotely worth mentioning. Anyways, again, have a happy new year! May 2012 be a year of "rebirth" instead of the supposed apocalypse. XD

I still need myself a Ratchet and the RID Arcee. I'd also like to get another Wheeljack so I can also have a Makeshift. XD

I hate you so much.... kidding ~ I iz jealous though lol. Awesome findings. The only Prime TF I've managed to pick up was Soundwave! I bought him on sight haha

Destron23 In reply to Lord-Naraku [2012-03-28 03:14:43 +0000 UTC]

Ooh I'm so jealous right now. lol Soundwave is the figure that I want out of ll existing TFP merchandise. I came across a Wheeljack, but had to leave him because he had this huge paint blemish along his side.

haha yeah, I'd love to start getting some of the others, yeah they have a bunch of Wheeljack and Cliffjumpers in my area. I'd really love to get my hands on a Starscream but I'll have to wait for the voyager class or whatever they're called now.

i want an arcee, cant wait till my knockout figure comes in from bigbadtoystore.com, i preorderd him and breakdown

Destron23 In reply to lovefistfury [2012-02-13 00:58:27 +0000 UTC]

I just hope Knockout looks better than what we've seen of him. It seems Hasbro doesn't know how to transform him properly. Hopefully Breakdown will be good, he has one of my favourite designs on the show. Wonder if he'll have the patch or not?

lovefistfury In reply to Destron23 [2012-02-13 03:20:22 +0000 UTC]

i hope the add the patch, is a good look for him lol. yeah i saw the design for knockout, too fat, lol he's more slim like starscream but has a broad upper body, hope they do his voyager better

Destron23 In reply to lovefistfury [2012-02-13 03:34:54 +0000 UTC]

Don't really see Hasbro making a voyager of him, but I hope they'll redo his mold, like they have with the other characters. His head also seems a bit off to me and don't get me started on the paint apps. LOL One character I definitely can't wait to get in toy form though is Airachnid.

lovefistfury In reply to Destron23 [2012-02-13 03:42:54 +0000 UTC]

i really want to see airachnid, seibertron.com said she'll be a voyager
yah did you see the cybererse(scout class) cliffjumper and arcee, look decent butthe deluxe is more acurate, but they are a lot cheaper

Destron23 In reply to lovefistfury [2012-02-13 04:16:14 +0000 UTC]

Not too fussed about the cyberverse stuff. If I get any, it may possibly be the Drill, because I'm pretty sure it's the exact same drill Jack was using in Rock Bottom. Personally out of stuff just revealed for Prime, I'm really looking forward to RID Arcee. I'm really wanting that FOC Shockwave too, if only to use him as a Classics counterpart of the character, but that design is superb (if a little short).

i like the soundwave design, near perfect to the show, even if he looks like eva lol

Destron23 In reply to lovefistfury [2012-02-13 04:34:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Soundwave may actually be the Prime figure I want the most. Hope they make a Cybertron Sideways from him.

Eva?

Destron23 In reply to LOVEinREDink [2012-01-05 22:30:58 +0000 UTC]

I definitely recomend him, he's probably the most show accurate so far. He's fun to transform, but his alt mode doesn't lock together very well, but it's a small complaint.

I didn't like how Arcee's "wings" were on her shoulders and not her back like in the show. But I guess there are limits to what they can do.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Destron23 In reply to MassRelay101 [2012-01-01 13:31:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I agree. They're also way too big compared to the show model. Arcee actually has a lot of inaccuracies, like her backpack, but especially with her face. It just looks horrible and not very close to the one we seen on TV.

H-Falcon In reply to Destron23 [2012-01-01 23:01:58 +0000 UTC]

Don't see how you think the face is horrible and looks nothing like the show. I have the toy and it looks good. I think these molds are fantastic and look pretty good/close to the show. It is understandable to have some differences after all since it is an actual toy that has to Transform, But whatever.

Destron23 In reply to H-Falcon [2012-01-01 23:10:30 +0000 UTC]

Well, I think I was spoiled with TFA since they were extremely close to the show counterparts. I just think Arcee's face looks a bit off, mostly with her eyes and smile. She just doen't envoke that fierce female warrior, at least in her face, her head seems quite accurate though.

H-Falcon In reply to Destron23 [2012-01-01 23:16:16 +0000 UTC]

I agree with Animated being really good. But I think the Prime line is really good too. You should give it a chance. When you have them in your hands and can see for yourself and not just online pictures it can make a big difference. I think the sculpts are amazing. Specially for the heads. I understand the bodies are going to be different with all the kibble and stuff but yeah. You don't have to agree of course but to say they are horrible though seems a bit much. But oh well.

Destron23 In reply to H-Falcon [2012-01-02 02:47:52 +0000 UTC]

I merely stated that I didn't care for Arcee's face, never said I didn't like the Prime line, quite the contrary in fact. Voyager Optimus, Cliffjumper and Megatron are definitely some nice examples of what the line offers.

Well that whatever. You did use the word horrible. So my point still stands.

They were better when thay based the show charaters on the toys and not the other way around.

Destron23 In reply to MassRelay101 [2012-01-01 20:43:50 +0000 UTC]

If only in either process both the toys and models would be accurate to each other. TFA and Transformers Cybertron did a pretty good job at being accurate.
