>>10540608>iirc the original had sculpted nipples behind the chestpiece which had window-holes in it, and some versions of it were removable while others were glued or screwed on.That was a bit different, though - the original had a purple chestplate, with the red bra that had 'nipples' on it underneath; the purple plate came off, but the red bra was not removable. While I never owned the original, I know most people displayed her without the purple plate because that's how she looked on the show. Metal Spider goes for the same look, excluding the purple chestplate entirely and using the red bra (minus the nipples) as her default top to match her Beast Wars look...but now THAT bra comes off and exposes her bare spider titties underneath, which WASN'T a thing before. If it was intended to be a homage to the original toy, then they made the wrong piece removable.
>>10540977>Did you get the package refresh version(I think it's part of Legacy Evolution) or the original release? That could explain it, although it would be an odd change.>Mine is the original release version.Yeah, mine is the package refresh, and he's only got a light, gradient bit of purple at the center near his orb/spark cockpit thing; the rest of him is unpainted red. Actually, ALL of his purple is like that - sparse, looks like it was lightly airbrushed on, and not at all glossy like yours in your pic. Seems like a bit weird for a running change, but that's how every other pic of TM2 Megatron that I've seen so far looks as well - yours is the only one that has that much purple.
