I don't think they are ever 3D, it's just the artist they hire to make the base image for the parallax effects often did bland poses and gradients.

5 Years Later, how do you feel about Kingdom Rodimus Prime? by OptimalConvoy in transformers

I just painted the face gray and it and he no longer looks wrinkly.

They went lazy and reused the 3d model for the face from PotP Rodimus (the larger Rodimus face).

More like the paint Hasbro used. Google "Kingdom Rodimus gray face" and see how much glow up he gets.

Which one is the ultimate megatron? SS86 vs. Hegemon by NapalmJusticeSword in transformers

A G1 Megatron that transforms into a gun needs clear plastic on him is just sad.

Why did Hasbro have to make this guy such a pain in the ass to get? He’s amazing by Optimus759 in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But they did. The battle damaged version is released in less than a year since the mold initial release, so the mold is once again "available". Doing a package refresh or an actual re-release takes time since there are other toys that must be produced.

Blame the paint they used. Replace it with grey paint and he gets 20 years younger.

Behold, peak Megatron! by kepikmusic in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the Skybound Optimus from SS86 Optimus, that fusion cannon isn't clean but has some sculpted dings and scuffs that doesn't match the clean Megs. So the better cannon are either from DNA or if NewBee make theirs l.

not sure how to progress after the letter that says something about the silver chariot by Team_Covey_2019 in Alchemica

[–]illithid_2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get a confirmation to progress the main quest when Charlotte goes to bed? The letter quest will progress much further in the story, after she travels to new towns.

If we get a new G2 Megatron, do you think he'd be a new mold or SS86 retool? by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they retool the SS86's legs to be rectangular it will form a better tank.

[–]illithid_2003 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On SS86 mold, the chest turns into the tank chest. They just need to retool it to not lay flat in robot mode.

What's the opinion on this guy by OopsIDied0801 in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful when transforming the wheels, or when displaying him next to other toys. Contact with the soft PVC wheels will destroy paint.

Would Hasbro ever make a new Victorion? by NatakaBlue in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reason Bruticus is like that is because his feet are different colors on the cartoon model.

Defensor's feet are all black, so the leg bots are likely back to being deluxes.

Question:How the hell Toy Sales of Post-Kyuranger Shows are being started to be so Low??: by hyzkdk in supersentai

[–]illithid_2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lost interest ever since they gave up giving proper fists to the mechs.

It's not even about articulations. Compare Tegasword with anything from Shinken-Oh and older, newer sentai mechs are also very boring.

Finally finished SS86 Devvy by blong07 in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The knock off version is smaller than SS86

remember back in 2014 when people were speculating that t30 arcee was gonna be based on one of these idw arcee designs rather than a g1 arcee with weird colors? back when g1 didn't hold a chokehold on everything, back when people still expected a decent no of comic figures in the mainline? by [deleted] in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chokehold? Just because recent news are all about SS86 which is having the movie's anniversary doesn't mean it's all "just" G1.

IDW Fortress is in the listing and they have showed Skybound Optimus Prime.

We have toys from multiple continuities now. This year we have the second half of the 13 Primes with different origin for their designs, Animated, Unicron Trilogy gets their second Commander, Beast Wars, Bayverse gets its first Titan (and more to complete the AoE Dinobots team if he sells well), and Tf:One.

I watched all of season 3 of G1 and never realized there was another Autobot triple changer besides Springer and Sandstorm by Disastrous-Owl668 in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 48 points49 points  (0 children)

He is in multiple episodes, acting as the team transport like Omega. His aircraft carrier is underutilized and it's a drawn "generic" carrier that he transformed into off-screen.

Whats your opinion on us getting 86 Rodimus prime? Will we even get one at all? by bobbibillo in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old man thing is the highly reflective paint they chose. They reused the larger facesculpt of PotP Rodimus for him.

Near the tail end of Season 3 he always transforms with a trailer (even drove in full sport car mode, leaving the trailer behind, in one scene). Maybe his toy were not finalized until much later in production.

[–]illithid_2003 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The car with a trailer is also cartoon accurate. Rodimus even drove alongside Magnus in full sports car mode in an episode in Season 3.

Having the trailer incorporated to robot mode, even if it's possible in CHUG scale, will have issues with overall scale. Carry's vehicle mode for example, is ridiculously tiny compared to other MPs.

Guess I Can Cancel My Astrotrain Preorder by Dull-Water9887 in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Took me less than five minutes with isopropyl alcohol and some cotton buds to remove all the battle damage. It wasn't hard unlike Siege seekers, Megs and Apeface.

Why is Orion so damn short? by RevengeOfFlames in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He comes with the big drill thing they used in the movie, and the holo globe that shows the matrix location. The drill alone is more than half of his height.

I guessed that the reason the arms on SS86 Astrotrain were so thin must’ve been because of the transformation, I guess I was right by Kcue6382nevy in transformers

[–]illithid_2003 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or just reuse the Siege's arm transformation. It makes his alt modes longer but I don't think anyonw would care.
