TF UNiverse 2.0 & next animated wave

[FFN]

I really do not mind Hasbro using platic, what annoys me is the very cheap quality they use. If they painted the plastic to give it a metalic shine and are consistent in the color I would not mind. What peed me off greatly about Alt Meister is that they were not consistant in the different plastic colors so you have different shades of 'white' just like the yellow of animated bumblebee giving it a broken up 'Frankensten' color scheme.

On top of that the surface of the BTs look like that of a real car while the alt has a very plastic look and instead of looking like a good car model it looks like a toy.

The plastic used by Hasbro is the same as the plastic used by Takara and TakaraTomy. The difference is Hasbro didn't paint the plastic. Eh, what are you gonna do when they were charging (at least in the US) half as much money.

And when BT Meister was released, there were complaints of his inconsistent hues of white (some panels were more of a creamy off-white than true white)>

BUT ZOMG, I thought Japan was infallible?!?

"Wow! Here comes the TakaraTomy Bandwagon!"

Transfan 2:
"We'd better jump on board before it leaves us behind."

Transfan 1:
"Look at all those saps on the second-class Hasbro CityRail train! Haha!"

Transfan 2:
"Hey! You're infringing on Nelson Muntz's trademark!"

Yeah, I remember when I got my red version of Meister (Zoom Zoom ) and was looking at it in the box, it was so apparent that the front was plastic instead of metal I had to dig out my white version to be sure I hadn't been duped with a hybrid BT with Alt parts (cos I didn't know back then that there was no red Meister Alternator). I've got Argent Meister in my hands now... it's basically perfect cos the whole shell is painted.

Interesting to consider the comment above by Kyle about KP which I completely agree with (except for comparing HR to OP - as far as molds go they are at opposite ends of the spectrum imo). It took TAKARA merging with TOMY to make the BT/KP line profitable again. :P
