>>6120396>Dat painstaking effort to layer and hide all the small details so it lines up with the art>dat moment he pans the figure around after opening up the cab to showcase the arcane magic that is the entire fucking torso assembly>dat satisfying as fuck layering when the back panels angle to make room for the backpack to fold in and layer on top of the chest. There are no shortcuts on this thing. Everything gets from truck to robot exactly how it is in the art. All except the fake grill and the trailer hitch. The grill is acceptable given how it magically deforms, but I'm 50/50 on the hitch just popping off. The vehicle mode truck bed is a little dicey but is solid enough to get the job done.
Gcreations is pretty much just making the art and popping it off the comic pages and making it work as a figure by any means necessary. That's no small feat and the end result still being able to be that clean and articulate is impressive.
Generation Toy takes all the elements of the comic design and applies more a more traditional Optimus beefy proportions to make a good toy representation. While not as detailed and accurate to the concept art, it makes the most of being less complex by being a lot more solid and clean in both modes.
God fucking dammit I just wanted one to be shit so I had an excuse to get the other. GT still has a chance to bungle it I guess.
