Yeah they hit the Sweet Spot.

My studio series sideswipe came with two right blades and the same thing happened to me. Emailed customer service, they don’t have a separate part, we’ll send you a whole new figure instead. I guess it makes sense though.

I know right. I can't believe they gave me a whole duplicate because of that. Yeah, and we are all the happier without a trailer and a matrix.

@@PerspectiveEnd I mean, We can all make a trailer of Lego so it's no problem.

G1 Optimus with details isn't exactly new, nor fresh.

It was just such a relief. It was so nice to see it.

Agreed. With extra Stuff. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

@@PerspectiveEnd yes

Also, studio series bumblebee movie prime is probably one of if not the best studio series figure so far.

@@PerspectiveEnd thank you very much, I'm happy with the black paint, I can just imagine venom is attacking him.

I'm happy to hear that. Glad it didn't disappoint you, and I think I've heard that fix somewhere before.

I liked the Bumblebee movie a good bit. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

@@PerspectiveEnd Yes please they'll look so much better without that black paint.

Yeah they just punch so well, for once the designs were handed over to the graphical design team. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

They are doing the Premium version soon. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

@@PerspectiveEnd my dad beat me up after I bought my Warpath, Wheeljack and Powerglide because they don't get sold in my country so I had to import them. Even though it was my money and I didn't ask for any from him... And no thanks. I'm fine with them as they arr

@@joaoandlucas5867 I understand what he means and I respect that. I am not new to these things. I still wish I had the ability to both want stuff anf control myself from wanting them

See I don't respect them because it doesnt take balls to do what they did, it took them not caring. They didn't care about Transformers so they didn't care if they screwed it up. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

Yeah I honestly figured ROTB would change up Optimus' design due to the add ons to the truck, but the render on the binder we saw shows that the new vehicle bits just completely evaporate. But hey, the dumb random circles in the elbows are gone, and the running lights are up on his collar so while he's still a mile behind, he's a couple inches ahead of BBM Prime.

Well we will see if I make your childhood dreams come true. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

@@PerspectiveEnd No thanks, I might use it for something else

Yeah it's probably cause this sold really well. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

@@PerspectiveEnd I would’ve thought it wouldn’t sell as well because it was sold around the time wfc prime did but I guess I was wrong at the time and I don’t really mind the blast effect look with paint

Well let's hope you win then and stick it to those gouging shops. And yeah the ER figure really should have taken cues from this and the Siege. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

@@PerspectiveEnd Thank you, yes, please remove it.

He is quite fantastic. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

@@PerspectiveEnd thank you! and oh no, its all good, the paint can stay on the Blast effects

I took a photo yeah. Though it still is the honor system cause I could have just not taken a picture of the missing stuff. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

@@PerspectiveEnd Oh thank you! Sorry, yes I would appreciate that. I was actually thinking of giving it to my sister cause she likes Hot Rod especially in the comics and she’s been having a spot of bad luck at her job. Anyways, thanks for the chance, Perspective!

Yeah it's nuts that the Movie one looks so bad. And I mean I don't think it's that big a deal, why do I need three. One goes with the big blast effect tree and then the two lose one stay with me. I think anything less would be an uncool move.

You are too complimentary. Yeah I could sell this on Ebay or something and be a dick head scalper with it. But I'm much rather make one of you happy.

Was it just the figure that didn't do it for you or was there more to it. Also yeah, the 86 Hotrod feels really Chintzy compared to this. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

@@PerspectiveEnd Thanks for replying! I think it was just the figure that didn't do it for me. I was excited when I first got him, but it kind of fizzled as the weeks went on. I wasn't a huge fan of the panel transformation, so that might've been a big reason. As for the blast effects, I'd like to say keep the paint on them, but I wanted to look at them that way before confirming. Did you show them off in one of your videos? I checked the Rodimus review and only saw them in their original black cast.

Yeah he's just a nice design. It's just good looking. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

Thank you very much, glad to hear it. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

@@PerspectiveEnd On the chance that I win and it isn’t any trouble to you then yes please! Thank you!

Thank you very much and yeah they better not change too much because people like the Knight designs. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

@@PerspectiveEnd I would like to get the paint removed, If I win. And tbh I feel like the next movie might not be very good, but I do hope I'm wrong.

They'd better change it so 90% of the vehicle doesn't just vaporize during transformation. That's terrible transformer design and I can't believe people hark on AOE for it, but give the BeeWun designs a pass.

That is possible but they are already rehashing him with the Premium line. I just hope the RoTB version doesn't end up messing up his design. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

@@PerspectiveEnd good point with the premium line but wouldn’t be surprised either way. If I somehow won then I would prefer to leave the paint on. I’m one of those people who can’t bring themselves to customize a figure unless I have a duplicate. Thanks for the offer btw

@@PerspectiveEnd From the render we saw they swapped out the random arm mush for the 1-3 arms, maintaining the shoulder and forearm. It's an improvement, but its still behind considering there's even more vehicle parts that now just vanish out of thin air.

I did see that, and it was good, but too pricey considering I already had this one. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

Glad to hear that I can move people and not just make them angry. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

I can see this one?

@@PerspectiveEnd I KNOW that I made the replies, even about the Not a Commander Class.

Not a week of primes.

@@PerspectiveEnd tysm! And yes, if i do end up winning, id love to have the paint removed. Did you notice the blast effects being more brittle after removing the paint? Just curious how removing the painy affects the plastic.

I mean I am willing to pay that, but it also feel like you where hinting really hard right there. And yes I can strip the paint if you win. You are entered for a chance to win.

I think it's enough like the G1 One. It's like the G1 One but movie.

@@PerspectiveEndI think you would be in love with the Studio Series Masterpiece figure.

This thing is better than the Masterpeice of the Bumblebee Movie Optimus which is hillarious. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

@@PerspectiveEnd No, thank you. :)

Movie style wasn't just details. Movie designs were made from an inner skeleton out, with consideration for where the vehicle parts go, consideration for how the body would move and articulate, and making armored sections look flexible while maintaining unorthodox shapes to keep it from looking man made. BBM style is taking a G1 design, slapping randomized detail in a few areas that doesn't have any visual purpose and more so looks like it's a design flaw with some of the placements, and a heaving ammount of random circles that are literally in the way of things most of the time. Oh, and we can't forget to render every single face in a different design style. Optimus has big lightbulb eyes and his randomly flapping face mask, Bumblebee has his movie face, Wheeljack's mask is his face, Ironhide and Ratchet have completely flat and smooth TFP faces without descernable noses or lips, Arcee has a human face made out of metal panels like the AOE designs, Brawn just has a shit load of random detail that isn't even descernable as a face, Soundwave has a solid unmoving face even though prime has a flapping mouth plate like the cartoon, Shockwave has his normal face stretched to be a mile wide, Starscream has a weird gremlin number going on, and every seeker has a gas mask that moves when they talk because the rig for Blitzwing's head came from 07 Starscream.

Thank you very much. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

To be fair it was only ever implied that that truck at the end of the Movie MIGHT have been Optimus.

@@PerspectiveEnd Though it would he weird for it to not ACTUALLY be Optimus if it weren't so specifically picked out to look like him. RotB Optimus will still be a Freightliner, looking much like the one in BB Movie, just with different sun visors and a bull bar. So I guess "might have been" still seems debatable.

I think he's more expensive than most people like, and thank you. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effect?

@@PerspectiveEnd funds are getting too low ATM and I’m focusing on buying a car. Well I come from the UT and Cybertron is my favorite show. IMO Optimus having a well designed mouth (not the Movie or Prime mouths) it’s fine to make the Mask more of a Battle Mask. Nothing against the other option, but I don’t mind it when it looks good. Um yea take the paint off.

Thank you very much, and you can sure try you lose nothing by giving it a go. though the odds are slim. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?

Exactly. The movies were allowed to get away with Redesigns, Just so long as they looked like the characters AT ALL.

Btw, is it reasonable to assume that most of the animated shows model the characters after toys, but in the case of the movies the on-screen models were made first? If that’s the case, it introduces a challenge to make the toy functionally work and still look like the movie model. And how they got this model into that alt mode is amazing.

100% agree he is just a leader. You are entered for a chance to win. Would you like the paint removed from the blast effects?
