I got Silverbolt given to me by a friend and I bought Air Raid cause he's my favorite
Said friend gifted me Slingshot as well so I was like "Oh okay I guess I better complete it since I'm 3/5"
I tossed them in my BBTS Order with reissue Omega Supreme and got em in today and surprise they're just as meh as the rest
Meanwhile Omega is based

Super 7 is decent for what it is. Character selection is dogshit, but Super7 Bludgeon is the only god-damn version of the character worth a fucking damn as far as actually LOOKING like Bludgeon instead of being a random tank figure recolored to look like Bludgeon. And Megatron is the best fucking bet if you actual want a proper G1 Megatron, as opposed to the bullshit half-measure that is SS 86 Megatron.

I always thought of the BW guys as mechanical animals anyway. But I'm also not experienced enough with this to have taste in it yet I think, I've had three figures as desk toys for four years and didn't even consider buying more until like a week ago.

ah, part of the aesthetic I always liked, especially in cgi, was the stark difference between the shiny robot parts and the matte, skin-textured animal parts. Of course, in the toys, usually the same color is used for parts that are both organic and inorganic, because that's just budget, but

Our of curiosity, are there any figures that do do this? Seems like it'd look jarring in the robot mode.
Also do you think of Ravage as skin-textured when he's "expanded"?

Not sure what you mean about Ravage, he only had one mode in the show and then magically turned into a tape

as for the toys, most of the recent Kingdom/Legacy/etc ones sort of attempt it with texture, to varying degrees of success, and I think it works. The contrast of animal parts connected to a robot is always fun to me, though there are times when it doesn't work to my taste.

Yeah, I was thinking of the tape as his "robot form" and the panther or whatever as his animal form. Do you think of the tapes as metallic and the jaguar as soft?
I can kinda see what you mean with the difference in picrel, though it doesn't do much for me personally

naw, Ravage is a G1 character, the tape is his 'vehicle mode' and the jaguar is his 'robot mode' which has been upgraded into a traditional bipedal upright one sometime in the last 400 years. And in his case, still a metallic jaguar all over. He doesn't have an organic form at all, and he no longer needs it because there's no more unstable energon on the planet.

I can see people not liking the organic beast aesthetic since objectively, it's pretty fucking weird for robots to have. Just like I find the flexible joint covers on Patlabor mechs to feel odd.

In my defense BW Megatron is maybe the only BW design I actually like. I really like the T-rex jaw-hand. I really like Grimlock though so idunno what my deal is. Maybe I just like dinos.

dude you don't ever have to excuse liking dinos. dinos rule. and head-hand is pretty cool too, I just feel like the tail is often not that great as an arm accessory. you can either make it jointed, in which case it's a terrible weapon, or make it solid, in which case it's a pretty bad tail.

Eh, I like both whips and flails. I think something like the G1 energy flail Megatron has to cap off the tail would've been neat but that's pure speculation.
Semi-related, are the combiners any good? I like Devastator and Volcanicus

How do they scale compared to core class figs? I like switching modes just for the sake of it and would probably keep them individual a solid 40% of the time just for the sake of it.

Where to start with this? Seems very cool but if I stick to core class stuffs it seems like there's no need/market for it

whips and flails are terrible weapons at the best of times, but when your whip is a big floppy heavy tail, the kind of thing it could tail-whip you with, it's gonna be lousy mounted on your arm. just saying. I always liked what Dragon Caesar did, pulling in the joints to make a big drill, but...

a thin chain with a big ball at the end, you can FEEL the physics.
a big bulky set of ... let's be real, HAMS attached end to end, doesn't feel like it can really hurt you. at least not until you get above a certain size, and it's a mecha kaiju. then yeah, it'll hurt you just by smacking into you, but not nearly as much as his arms or legs or teeth would.

Saw this in a review from The Man With No Taste
>Since I ignored Beast Wars as a kid, BW Megatron's design holds no deep nostalgia for me - which means I'm free to find the robot design utterly stupid. Turning the T rex head into a hand is possibly the dumbest, laziest thing to come out of the era. Well, no, that's not fair: there are plenty of shellformers that are a lot lazier, so this is just a bad idea. It's iconic, sure, now, but that doesn't mean it was good to start with. And I've always found using animal legs as robot legs to be uncreative.

well that's part of what I said
if you do that, meaning it's one big lance, or a gigantic sword or however you shape it, then that makes it a lousy t-rex tail. now he can't flex it at all and has to walk kinda awkwardly without any sinuous movement. Raptors can pull that off, but....
>>11625730
wow that's weird. i'll admit about the legs, but they worked hard to change them (huge thunder thighs fold away into anchors, digitigrade legs fold into plantigrade-with-high-heels)

I think that's also part of the differences. I don't think of them as any earth metal, just kinda. Whatever they're made of. They have moving mouths and stuff, I don't see why the tail couldn't be.

The ankle tilt is optional.

You can also consider it's technically not parts-forming, because you can attach both feets first, then pulling it apart.

You notice one foot have a longer peg.

I like this because a combiner that forming from 5 individual robots in the same size is very rare. Normally a 5 members combiner would have the torso being a larger robot. Besides, this is some of the cleanest looking combiner and decent articulated. The individual members also looks decent and not suffer too much from the ability to combine.

Imagine if a new Predaking utilize a structural engineering of this, that would be awesome.
