>>10956114>Are the mainline figures good now?Heavily varies as others have mentioned, though part of it comes down to what universes they're doing; HasTak have some internal biases and prioritize getting some right, while not caring much for others. It's not a hard and fast rule, all generalizations here, but insofar this's what you can expect:
>Consistently top-quality figuresGalaxy Force/Cybertron, Bumblebee Movie, Micron Legend/Armada (sans the first 2: Starscream & Hot Shot)
>Varies on individual level, but generally safe betsG1 and Beast Wars, JP-G1 and JP-BW, comic-exclusive designs (Marvel/IDW/etc), apparently Rescue Bots now (only 1 toy in mainline so far, so s'hard to judge, but is good)
>Compromised designs in artstyleAnimated, Prime (for the original molds)
>Low budget and/or poor designers, but sometimes passableSSGE (so far just the WfC game)
>shit retools onlyCar Robots/RiD2000, Prime (the rest), RiD15, Cyberverse
>What toys?Bayverse, Beast Machines, Super Link/Energon
