>>6471059I believe what takara aimed for with mp36 was a "best of both worlds" approach, hence the sparkles in his grey, its not a straight up flat grey, but it does generally match up with his cartoon appearance, lets face it when they say cartoon accuracy its not "ok his body shines in most places" they try to take the damn palette used on the show, with the sparkles just to make it more...interesting.
Only in comics do they really go crazy with the chrome effect which adds a unique feel, if they do a marvel megatron I hope to god they do something crazy like...slight cell shaded effects, if he ain't metallic then make him stand out for fucks sake.
As for the accessories its just a sign of affection to our childhood, they're really just an excuse for the price, not the actual cause
>>6471062Back then the aesthetic was at a crossroads, mp10 up until mp magnus the designs had a merger of toy and cartoon aesthetics (surface detail, deco choices and faces), mp inferno and so forth just solidified that takara has gone down to slavish g1 accuracy with an INCREASED level of articulation.
I'm conflicted, I liked the mp datsuns, lambos and mp10's as they generally looked good from all angles and their heads would say "hay I'm a cool robot you might recognize" not "HAY I'M COSPLAYING AS THEY CARTOON YOU GREW UP WITH LOOK AT HOW HIGH MY LEGS REACH"
>>6471068Look on the tf_pr twitter, your image is dark because of the effects, the last images of trypticon are virtually the same, even the stickers
>>6471072>white megatron with a black helmetI'd be fine if its a gloss white but a matte would better suit
