Been sporadically reading IDW in order…
Saw more recent stuff.
[details=Spoiler]Yo Megatron though, oh SHIT. This is how you do well-intentioned extremists; they are far along the path, but not gone.
Oh shit. IDW writing

controls and gameplay are king in my domain. designs, graphics and animation, music and sounds and finally writing/story telling all come after that (in this exact order). gameplay design and level design are even more important than everything i mentioned after the controls and gameplay. gow > the tf games. gow was good, not great. tf is ok at best, more like meh.
Why are you in this thread then lol. I mean, it’s a TF thread to celebrate the franchise lololol.
Also, side note, I’ve been rewatching the Bay movies; keeping in mind that Megs is nearly always a well-intentioned extremist taken to it’s logical
extreme, he doesn’t seem evil in them, not for it’s own sake.
ESPECIALLY in 3; like when Cybertron showed up in the sky?
He looked outright relieved.
Evil really is a matter of perspective, usually, and objectivity regarding it is the exception rather than the rule.
He really just boils down to a ‘papa wolf’ at it’s logical conclusion and extreme; dude is a tragic villain.
When Prime said “You left me no choice, brother.”, now it makes sense… and it’s goddamn SAD.
Damn. I’ve read that Megs and Prime both know that under different circumstances(when they are at war) that they could(and they have!) make comrades in the closest sense
of the word; and for the 2007 movie to have that highlighted in such a way is, honestly, tearjerking.
Agh.
Magnus Prototype Revealed:
Just gotta tidy up the face, and then that’s a wrap.
The Masterpiece line is blackmail, I swear.
LOL
My birthday IS in (exactly) 2 weeks, though, hmm…
One of the photos show a pretty well sculpted head. I wonder if it is going to be a white cab in there as well. I like that you can use the Matrix and put it in his chest. I wonder if it comes with it, or if you gotta use MP10/ Rodimus Matrix
EDIT - Looks like there are 2 heads, one is a standalone and the other covers the MP-10’s
Finally able to do the saddest of all G1 scenes justice though, maybe?
yoooooo
It’s gonna be interesting to see what the differences between KFCs’ Citizen Stack and the Official release. I like 3rd party one a little better simply because the figure is self contained (like in the G1 Movie). I am sure the Official Release is gonna split into armor portions, is gonna be interesting.
LOL - This is exactly what I thought. However, its true nostalgia as to why I got it
This is crazy how much detail was added to the knock off
^I might as well have a separate bank account for TF merch LOL
Blackmail, but I’m okay with it. My wallet isn’t.
So unfair.
EDIT: I looked at the TF direct page, GODDAMN. Detail porn all over.
There goes 90 when I get paid, LOL
Knockoff no more IMO. Wow.
How do you improve the model that your ripped off LOL. That’s not even right
It just looks* that much better*. Here, knockoff’s on the left LOL:

Comparing it to the Hasbro version doesn’t do the mold “that much” justice. The Hasbro version looked like a knock off out the gate with the brighter colors. Still, the KO looks better
Looks like Magnus is not going to be a “Gizmo Duck Version of Prime”. Check the hinges on the cab. Same design, but there are hinges that look like it will be a single truck carrier to robot mode. IMO the Official looks better in vehicle mode, the 3P release looks better in Robot mode. The official looks a little chubby in comparison
It’s so beautiful…
I must own this, Ultra Magnus is the best. But I better check the other figure as well, or just grab both of them.
KFC Citizen Stack (3P Not Magnus)
Megatron revealed
If you looking for the 2014 Generations Wave 2, this is actually a solid deal
34.99 for the set (8.74 per figure)
