So Predacus is trying to grab my purse away, Ramhorn shakes his fist at me for some reason, and they're both puffy as hell. Is Pat Lee back or something? Posted by Microraptor on January 18th, 2016 @ 4:12pm CST

Is there something wrong with the art?





Either way I doubt Pat Lee will ever be allowed to be near Transformers or heck any legit business again after what he did.

The problem is the puffiness. It's freaking INSANE. Remember the Micromasters mini-series? This is that, but worse. It be fine if it weren't SO. DAMN. PUFFY. The problem is the puffiness.

I'm not sure how your supposed to draw a blocky G1 transformer without making it puffy or making up a design. I'm not sure how your supposed to draw a blocky G1 transformer without making it puffy or making up a design. Posted by Deadput on January 18th, 2016 @ 4:27pm CST

nosecone Ramhorn, wonder if the nosecone mold didn't have an applicable hand available, since the he's supposed to come with a new one Interesting that the art even depicts Predacus with a copy of breakdowns hand forRamhorn, wonder if the nosecone mold didn't have an applicable hand available, since the he's supposed to come with a new one Posted by Hellscream9999 on January 18th, 2016 @ 5:19pm CST

Could you clarify? I meant that maybe predacus doesn't use brawls hand/foot gun - the one tied to that mold - since nosecone is coming out as a foot for computron, and that mold might have the special foot designated for that mold.



Or do you mean that they are using two copies of two hand/foot guns? 2 of breakdowns and 2 of skydives (tarantulas' foot kinda looks like airraids hand/foot gun, but I thought he was using rooks hand/foot gun)?

Looks to me like it's meant to be Terrorsaur using the Other than the Dreamwave-y reaching, this reminds me a bit of the BW card/box art from the '90s. I like it.Looks to me like it's meant to be Terrorsaur using the ROTF Breakaway mold. Posted by Zeedust on January 18th, 2016 @ 6:13pm CST

Looking at the art, the combiner fingers are clawed. Think the ones in the toy pics are just placeholders? Posted by shajaki on January 18th, 2016 @ 6:44pm CST

No, that's just artistic license; I doubt funpub would have put that in the budget No, that's just artistic license; I doubt funpub would have put that in the budget Posted by Hellscream9999 on January 18th, 2016 @ 6:47pm CST

If they make an Abominus combiner, I hope they make new monster molds and not just vehicles with fake monster paint. As Death, I prefer REAL monsters.... Posted by DeathReviews on January 18th, 2016 @ 6:49pm CST
