Quick, gather all the haters: the immense aura of pure animosity for this figure should allow JelZe to love the figure like a second wife!

Seriously though, the figure may look like it could use more polish but it doesn't look like total garbage. We've all seen way worse, haven't we?

No disagreement there. Need I bring out Armada Side Swipe again (which I unfortunately own)?

Honestly- If you wouldn't have known the dragonmode to be a dragon, would you have guessed it was a dragon?

I can't argue the statement either and while, surprisingly, I don't own Armada Sideswipe, I do have many other of the figures from that line (and others) that have left me me saying "WTF was I thinking???"
Still, and much pun intended considering one of his alt modes, this thing is a freaking train-wreck.

...Dammit, TomyT', has gotta do better than that. Simpler, sturdier, stouter, & heavier at the feet so it can stand, and also give us HEAVY joints.
I'm not spending money on items that are that flawed anymore, not when you at TomyT', know about these issues, & have for years. Especially not at the import or "collector" prices. Even if I will likely see this at Toy's r Us at some point, I still would avoid it.

(Okay 2 to 3 other autobots.) While the United States prefer that Optimus Prime be either a truck or monkey?

Swimming dog mode is what I would have went with if I'd seen it cold.
I still like it.

Er...what? Sentai came long before Transformers did. Power Rangers just Americanized it for a wider audience.
And ripping off Transformers? No. In some ways, they have more badassery than some recent TFs.

Hero Alpha wrote:Well that is pretty much crap. Also I don't see a dragon anywhere there and why does Japan love transforming robots with train alt modes so well? They seem like they would be so limited, although I do remember Astrotrain in steam-train mode running through the desert and jungle with no tracks and I was ok with it.
Just to comment (off-topic) on Train-formers:
one of my favorite G1 combiners is Sixliner / Sixtrain. (cuz I love micromasters, and they scale epically with robot masters Star saber / victory leo as well as the takara WST series)
and Railspike from R.I.D. (the only r.i.d. trainformer i had, but i got to play with midnight run), but Railspike is one of my favorite transformers of all time. he's sleek, sexy and his train mode is awesome too.

Wow, that's bad, it's so bland and uninteresting. So incredibly simple and yet it has less articulation than a lego mini fig.

Well, we all know you're a sick f**k, so I'm not pressurized
I just noticed, this thing is so lazy, it doesn't even have hands or fists, just train cockpits with a hole on the side. Wow
This is like someone had a neat concept for a combining train mecha, drew a up a ruff concept and then after that lost interest. I'm sure with some work and effort put into it, it could be pretty badass.
But yes, this Optimus Prime is still crappy.

Awesome post my friend
Some do it right, but in general in my uneducated opinion, traditionally I like my combiners to be giants. And a futile attempt to counter:
Eh, never mind.
My points of critique
Magnaboss: The Elephant dude Ironhide is most of the big bot. The lion is just the head and the bird doesn't need to be there at all.
Tripredacus is pretty decent but kinda flimsey. Same goes for Magmatron wit the head dude.
Railracer: A lot of people use him as an example of a good 3-dude combiner. I disagree. The middle guy is only the abs. and the lower guy is in his own robot mode just 2 giant legs.
Energon, well, practically all of 'm.
Don't (or do) get me wrong. I love the Armada Prime & Overload combo. But I don't see these dudes as combiners. Same goes for Duocons. As long as a bot has a good spot in the combined form.
And a lot of the times in a 3 or 4 combiner set one robot was just put on there because he has to be in it somehow.
On topic:
I liked the Bullet Train Prime first, but the likes are fading away + the price is going to break the deal completely.
And I for one like Armada Sideswipe. Still need to remove those horrible spring loaded fists -_-

Bullet trains are a major mode of transportation in Japan. There are Shinkansen lines that run all over the nation.Hero Alpha wrote:and why does Japan love transforming robots with train alt modes so well?
It's like asking why America loves transforming robots with sportscar or fighter jet altmodes. It's what's mainstream in each country.
Because that's NOT what it is. It's a sequel to the JAPANESE DUB of Transformers: Prime, which ended with SEASON TWO and was dubbed COMEDICALLY. It's not meant to be a sequel to the English version; Season 3 "Beast Hunters" doesn't exist as far as Go! is concerned.Poyguimogul wrote:Transformers GO! is less like a sequel to a serious high quality (and kid friendly) show like Transformers : Prime/Beast Hunters,

Noticed that his transform structure (to warrior mode) reminds me of Starconvoy and the double blade staff like that of Gungnir in Valkyrie Profile 2..
