Mas is not being based on original g1 in looks and build, is based on that artist hence the chunky style. I would not attempt to compare being g1 as that's just nuts imo as it's obviously trying not to be.

Still waiting to see alt mode pics. So... Toys Alliance is a HK based company and Hasbro is obviously a US company, although the licensing may be from HK AP, that's fine... so why is there Japanese text on the box? (wouldn't Chinese make more sense for the target market?) :confused: Is TakaraTOMY planning on releasing this in Japan? :confused:
I don't like the chunkiness as some others have pointed out. Something else has been bugging me about it but I couldn't put my finger on it till now - the shoulders sit higher than the chest. That just looks wrong to me.
If not for those two things I would have definitely picked it up. Will be a cool display piece for those that get him.
It doesnt transform. Apparently there is some licensing agreement set by Hasbro preventing transformations with all official 3rd party toys.
Yeah it's a stylized G1 he looks something similar to IDW or comic book exaggerated proportions. It's close enough for me to accept that it's G1.
The appeal for me is the detail and articulation. For something so bulky its very cool to be able to do all those poses. And the fact it's the size of a baby.
Very excited about this one!
I did not know that, but it makes sense. :) So this is basically a really big (and very expensive) version of what Action Master Optimus Prime should have been. ;)Quote:

Correct. The hands most certainly do rotate and although the feet do not "yaw", they do have ankle tilt.Quote:
