I mean, you do realize screen-accuracy went out the fucking window when they A) made the transformations magic and B) made them look fucking hideous and deformed

it is crazy that it not only took like 8 official figures, but easily four massive and expensive thirdparty figures, before we FINALLY got a working grimlock
where the t-rex mode has a neck, a long tail, and digitigrade legs.

starting in season 2 of BW, everyone was 95% toy-accurate in the show, so...

still, there were some noticeable little fixes. rattrap's backpack rotation. dinobot 2's arms shortening up so they make sense. Rampage having some crab legs on his shoulders...

Early BW toys were designed before the show and BM figures were based on early designs. Transtec has no show to change the designs halfway production through.

I don't understand your point.
BW had toy-and-show synergy starting in season 2
BM never had any, never tried to have any, never could have had any.

There's no transtech show to be different from hasbro's initial designs which is all we have to go on and thus what people want toys of.

Colors aside BM deluxe primal looks pretty accurate to the design they were ACTUALLY trying to match. Then later on plast punch Primal was fairly accurate to the show design.

They're not doing Transtech in Timelines since there's no Transtech Bumblebee.
No, they're not subbing him with Cheetor, Timelines is specifically Bee, Optimus, Megs and Starscream.

Look. I was THAT kid so I need a good Transtech Cheetor to elevate my childhood favorite.
I have made peace with Armadimon's armors not getting first time evolution dialogue in Time Stranger.

It's funny, Transformers really does not do accessories or playsets the way other shit does. They dabbled in it, back in the day, but.. the like, two that Beast Wars did in Japan really stick out.

i've had him for a year and haven't had any cracks or damage at all. it maybe will pop out during transformation, but easily pops back in

i just don't find his alt mode as interesting, so he stays in robot mode most of the time
