Classics 2.0/Universe Comments thread

Anyone noticed the fandom reference on this toy? I'm tempted to get the Universe version of Onslaught for its fan tribute (which is also a 2nd degree tribute to Australian Transfandom too).

It's also present in USA Edition, I believe.

I like Onslaught, although they messed up the electronics. As good as the gunfire sound it, why does it have to alternate with a useless single-cycle siren? Definitely a case of less is more!

I have complaints about his enginerring. Yes, he's simpler than I want of an ultra, but considering Hasbro feel that ultras need electronics, he's fine. Better than say, Cybertron Jetstorm, who has a transformation put to shame by many basics.

Powerglide does not impress me, so I'll not pick one up. It's not the colours, but the breasts, which I hate. Silverbolt I do want, because of the tribute, although I can tell from what I've seen that he's very simple. I haven't actually played with either, yet.

Without going into the controversy of Powerglide's general colors, I think his head it too big and too red. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Granted his head does form part of the alt mode.

This has been mentioned multiple times:

Basically the 'Transformers USA' Universe release in Japan is more accurate to both the original toy (general colour) and the cartoon (head deco). Tomy kept Hasbro's deco shout-outs to the American fan Monzo, though.

But other than the face paint you mentioned, he's exactly the same, even down to the references to longtime TF fan Monzo.

And as Kup properly reinforces, it's not exclusive to the Universe version.

QFT... I almost gave in and bought Hasbro's Powerglide today on sale at Kmart

[TheDirtyDigger]

Now that I've acquired these so far...

Octane: It's ok
Sunstreaker: Nice but could be better quality
Prowl: Good but shoulda tried harder on the paint job
Silverbolt: Good for real little kids
Onslaught: My pick of the bunch
Powerglide: I just don't dig tits on a guy
Blaster: Just a repaint
Heavy Load: Why is he even in there?


Overall 6/10 and nowhere near as good as Classics 1.0

Where's the 'meh' emoticon?

ok so after getting most of the toys and giving them a good once over im ready to make popper comments:

Sunstreaker:
Really nice figure. Good to play with but also has a good display quality. only problem with mine is the right arm keeps coming off. otherwise a great figure. my pick of the deluxes for sure.

Prowl:
Got a good paintjob on mine(pure luck i might add :P) and am very happy with it. almost as cool as sunstreaker, but not quite, mainly because the doors annoy me so much. apart from that a good toy as well.

Galvatron
Looks awesome, apart from the random bits of orange, and the weird gray, would have picked a better colour personally. too fiddly to transform, but poses and looks great.

Tankor:
Really expected more and didn't get it. Dodgy transformation in my view, and really doesn't look that good in any mode. most likely my most unloved of the lot.

now for my ultras:

Powerglide:
the orange man cans dont do if for me tbqh. not a great toy either. the transformation is boring and silly, but then again im sure i didn't do it exactly right cause mine didn't come with instructions for some odd reason. very meh

Onslaught:
Absolutely love him. He looks awesome, works so well. Transforming is fun and easy, and looks good in both modes, although the robot mode looks better. My fav universe so far

Hmm i might end up with a white Silverbolt if i can find one at a reasonable price....

Yeah but I'm still having a fanboy fap over it.

And did anyone mention Monzo's relationship to Australian Transfandom?
