This is what happens when Hollywod gets their filthy hands on the things we hold dear. Hence the "New" Transformers and Megatron having a pea shooter arm, Cobra looking like a reject post apocolyptic biker gang from Mad Max, and Optimus Prime having lips and flames......see where I am going with this????
So you are not the only one to notice this. I was looking at my 25th army yesterday thinking how bad ass it looks, even though these designs are form the 80's- early 90's they still hold and make a lasting impression even today. I used to look at TF's and when they re-issued the classic lines I would pause for a sec, but then I just kept walking, trying not to let me fanboy-ism get the better of me. Trying not to think..... my TF's were metal WTH is this plastic????? lol.
Becasue of stupid things like Drop Tests, politics, etc, our kids are missing out on some really cool toys like Fortress Maximus, Scorponok (The real one, not this movie crap) and having to settle for Anniversary Optimus Primes without smoke stacks........ jeez.
