I've always found the design of broadside to be a bit... conceptually poor. I mean the guy transforms into an aircraft carrier and a plane. Do you have any idea how much steel is in an aircraft carrier? He must have some pretty thick armor in plane mode. And some decent engines to move all that weight


That's just the way I see it.


Still, if he's decent, I'll buy him.

OMG the design in those unblackened pics looks pretty amazing. Need this figure NOW!!

Enough steel to crush Devastator?

You could say pretty much the same thing about G1 Megatron, Soundwave, Blaster, Perceptor, Astrotrain, Reflector, Bruticus, Octane and so on. Mass-shifiting has been a part of Transformers since day one - the size of one mode does not necessarily dictate the size of another.

True. However broadside just seemed to go one step too far for me. As silly as that sounds.

The way I manage to "ok" Broadside is by negating the "Plane" & replacing it with "Interstellar Cruiser".

That's what I do. It also seems to be what contemporary G1 fiction has done along with this Warbot.
