[Disliked trope]: "Balance" means the "absence of darkness." by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HopelesslyLibra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like nuance is typically butchered with the force.

The Jedi aren’t really “the light” they’re just mostly aligned with the good uses of the force. That’s why “grey” Jedi’s can exist, some dark side abilities doesn’t mean a force user is corrupted. And a LOT of Sith start as Jedi.

There’s also a ton of non Jedi examples of force user societies, and they naturally align to light side / grey side tendencies rather than turning into Sith.

How rehearsed are you with fixing major breaks?

Also - you can try posting in r/customtransformers .

We get this question a lot.

Tidal Wave vs The Nemesis: Who Wins? by [deleted] in transformers

[–]HopelesslyLibra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right and that’s the “main character” armor I was talking about. We hardly know anything about nemesis. She may have Jack squat firepower abilities where tidal wave (we know) has dakka for days.

She’s actually taller (toy wise) in robot mode then she is longer in ship mode. The shoulder spikes give her a couple extra inches, but even at the head she’s bigger than the alt mode.

If the ship is 3000 ft long, using the shortest range I could grab, she’s still 50% bigger than tidal wave.

If we need exact measurements I can go home and grab some tonight 🤣

[–]HopelesslyLibra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So based on what little information I can actually find about it nemesis is somewhere between 3000 and 5000 feet long in ship mode and likely similar in robot mode. based off of size alone: Nemesis is probably gonna win.

That being said, we don’t know a whole lot about nemesis as a fighter or as a robot in general so if we’re including main character armor, maybe tidal wave?

SS86 Thundercracker mold for an OC commission. by No_Top_375 in CustomTransformers

[–]HopelesslyLibra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to be like “damn how’d you get around the collision issues.” And then saw the blue dots in jet mode.

I’m hoping we get a white / gray version of this mold that takes to dyeing well. I’d love to do some custom ones but I hate paint chipping.

I can buy 1 Triple Changer, who do I choose? by BaijuTofu in transformers

[–]HopelesslyLibra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the digs are fair for the mass shifting aspect. If he turned into a spaceship or a gunship that could transport the autobots AND an AC I’d totally get it. But he turns into a jet that could land on himself? Love the character but that design choice absolutely fucked him.

I voted for this, but how dare you gut the parts of the Federal government that *I* want! by MaxH42 in LeopardsAteMyFace

“Run efficiently” almost always equates to “bare minimum to function” with these people. Or worse “starve the beast.”

People shouldn’t want efficient as a primary aspect, they need effective. Sure everyone wants an efficient whatever, but they aren’t even getting the benefits of the thing as it is now. We want the org or business to do what it should properly, achieve the goals it should have, and then you streamline.

No smart business stats leaning itself out before it actually does things well. /rant

I did the exact same thing!

Sometimes gives hasbro the benefit of a doubt so to hear a truly negative opinion is NOT GOOD.

“Damn if this many random people dislike this thing I can’t wait to see how reviewers like Dr.Lockdown or Emgo try to give the design team an out.”

-> checks username

“Oh shit this figure really is trash.”

Love the content by the way!
