The sad part is, I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro began selling Transformers without any paint/deco/stickers in the next 5 years. They would market it as the next "Gunpla" gimmick for collectors to truly feel that they're creative, customizing all their over-priced collectables. You would see bullet points and buzzwords like, "expressive freedom" or "Added Value!" As an unintended positive, by removing translucent plastic, Hasbro not only saved a ton of money, but the figures are less likely to break and snap. How are the ball joints compared to the original molds?

The ball joints seem as tight as the originals.

They could also just make them white plastic with black outlining and call them the “Sketch Series” or something. Make them look like drawings and all that.

I recently got this! My favorite autobot has always been Jazz but Hound is my favorite in this set.

Did your 86 Jazz survived not getting the common crack on the windshield? If so then that is !gold! like inside of the box.

If i had this set I'd want to have only jazz,trailbreaker, and sunstreaker and give wheeljack's blaster to elita one. I'll get individual on ebay hopefully for good price. Maybe keep Hound and give jackie to a friend.
@choostopher50185 ай бұрын
I think the new Sunstreaker looks excellent, love the new Jackie as well, Jazz still looks great. Not sold on the Hound though and that Trailbreaker and others from that mould look unfinished to me.

I know he’s supposed to scale, but I dont like how squatty Hound is. He’s fine for now, but we really need a better version one day soon

If ordering off pulse it's worth trying the TF40 code, I managed to save a bit of money on the set bringing it to below £100

Man, they all just *fit together* so much worse. Jazz's car back half doesn't come together flush, my Hound doesn't tab together in the back AT ALL, Wheeljack has only 1 new part... that makes his windshield not sit flush... and Trailbreaker's chest doesn't tab in at the back anymore. Just really feels like they just skipped QC entirely.

Did you... did you cut around showing Hound's Jeep butt not tabbing together?

I understand. But apparently, they are still doing pre-orders on Hasbro Pulse for another batch at 109.99. If these guys were separately offered, it would be $125 for all of them. So there's that.

I had to pass on this, i have 4/5 figures already. I did want that Hound but the cost can't be justified for just 1 character. Kinda find this set anti-collector knowing most would have 4/5 like me.

Im not sure if you got it from hasbro pulse but if you did how much did it cost for shipping?

I got it from Hasbro Pulse (and they have more up for pre-order). I'm Pulse Premium, so free shipping. It may also be free shipping for everyone over a certain amount.

I detest that plain blue window deco so damn much. The least they could do is add in the white highlights the animation actually has and use high gloss paints. And the dark grey instead of black plastic looks terrible. If you're replacing black with grey because of a cartoon that was obviously trying to represent black without drowning out the line details, then you're in slavish adherence territory.
@TrueKoalaKnight5 ай бұрын
And if they must do grey instead of black, then they should blacken the panel lines to really make it look similar to the animation models.

@@ventris425productions5 Can't agree on the grey. Should have been a dark enough shade that I can at least pretend Trailbreaker's alt mode is black.
