My Voyager Prime doesnt have an allegiance symbol... should I be worried at all?
Looks like they are all like that. Just a mystery I suppose
Maybe they don't want the faction symbol shown on his vehicle mode, to make it truly a disguise? :confused:
Could be, but Ratchet has it square on his bonnet, and Prowl has it on his front cowl. Bulkhead's is hidden until he transforms. Perhaps this is another place where there has been a lack of forethought.
Good point. :p
It's possible that if the toy has a lot of paint apps on it (more than the factory would allow), one to leave off could be the allegiance symbol. We all know it is an Autobot (it's Optimus for Primus sakes), so it could be one toy that could get away without one.
Well, they also left off any paint on his running lights on the top of the cab (which the Deluxe even had, as well as the battle damage), so the limit must be really low.
Man, Blackarachnia is one cool frickin' toy. The transformation is so-so but the bot and spider modes are awesome. I'm very glad to have a spare of this mold. Heck, I might triple up on it. Very nice. I wonder if we could make a BW repaint out of it. The main features are there but I guess the spidey eyes will be a bit of an issue. I do want a perfect blackarachnia though. A repaint of Tarantulas just don't cut it for me. This though is a cool frickin' toy.
My Updated verdict on the recent toys I have seen/experienced:
Earth Prime - Did not like, seemed cheap and a rehash of past designs with bad execution.
Blackarachnia - A very good and effective transformation and alt mode. Impresive despite the simple design.
So far in my oppinion the only good toys in this line are Prowl, Blackarahnia with Bulkhead trailing behind but still better than the rest.
The toy line seems to suffer the same pattern as the cartoon itself, a few good toys but the mayority of the rest are very poor.
For me, so far, the best figures are...
Voyager Prime
Lockdown (WOW!)
Ratchet
Prowl
Blackarachnia
I guess that's my Top 5 :D
