Now that the Revenge of The Fallen toys are out, what do you think of them? How do you feel about them compared to the 1st movie line?
I enjoy all "main" TF lines. I liked TF1(the engineering and automorph impressed me), love Animated(see Mattel, toys based on animated designs can have full articulation!), and of course, G1 is my childhood so I love Classics(though 2.0 seemed to be overshadowed by Animated). Here are my thoughts on the few ROTF toys I have:
As for Bumblebee, I am skipping on the deluxe versions in favor of the Human Alliance version. I love the idea of a piloted robot, and the HA figures are close to Alternators size. So I will be a completist for HA. The driver integration, retaining full articulation, and awesome gimmicks like the fold-down battle mask on Bumblebee have me excited. Overall, I think the engineering on the ROTF figures surpasses that of TF1, however I do prefer automorph to mech alive. Mech alive has minimal implementation on some figures, such as Breakaway. Yet it works very well on Starscream. What are your thoughts on the ROTF and TF1 figures? Last edited by Shin Densetsu; 06-02-2009 at 10:21 PM.. |

Love Ironhide's new canons.
Ratchet's better in premium TF1. ROTF Leader Prime amazes me with the accuracy and I'm sucker for swords. Voyager TF1 Prime for bonecrusher. ROTF Megatron Reminds me of Bonaparte, so I have legends of him for now. But I do much prefer his ROTF incarnation in leader scale. Seems more an intricate transformation into a neat scifi tank. ROTF Swerve is pure awesome too. But where's the yellow variant? Starscream I'm starting to lean leader scale, but for now I'm not really fond of his mold really. Or Brawl for that matter. I love the new Bumblebee head, but the remolding of his arm to a pure cannon annoys me. He's a transformer who needs both hands. So TF1 got that right. So it's really a mixed bag it seems depending on what characters you like and who appeared when, but the ROTF toys seem far more intricate and complicated while staying easy and being accurate. Though some exceptions do apply like prime for accuracy, but it pays off. That sideswipe mold is badass too, it needs to start being repainted. Some molds also are the same as previous, or just not different enough imho. Ratchet is indifferent, Jazz has already been through the rainbow, Bumble bee (really none/all, but you need to swap parts), Ironhide's canons. And voyager Prime. I haven't gotten chromia yet to judge her though in comparison to Arcee from TF1, but I'll save final verdict upon seeing her combined too. ICT is already a winner. The twins over the drone car easily as well design-wise. I think the same principlese are there as before, but are better put in practice design wise now. Makes me wonder what kind of innovation movie 3 toys will have. Prime with matrix cavity and super armor trailer? Ultramagnus? Megatron combining with the fallen? Power Master Optimus Prime and engine bot. Etc. They've really outdone themselves in a lot of instances for detail makes me wonder what'll be their way of topping it in movie 3. Human Alliance though wins hands down in my book. Now if only they do the constructicons to scale in this manner. |
