exactly. people are fine with Transformers crossovers, and there was way sillier stuff just around the corner, yet BF2000 is the hate grudge they hold onto. I was so excited when they first came out when I was a kid, and was baffled years later when I found out it was this thing so many people hated, and even more confused when their deaths were celebrated because they were supposedly silly while neon ninjas were just becoming a thing.
and agreed on ninjas. "dudes did you not see two series of neon ninjas and street fighter shoehorned into gijoe?" |

I kind of liked the vehicles and that they transformed into a base.
Although it definitely was used as a Cobra base. |

Ha-ha. I'm glad you brought it up, if only to validate memories of them being OK when they were new.

The thing I hate about that figure is more that they decided to use that body for SO MANY suited figures where those legs REALLY looked weird... like the Crimson Twins, or worse, General Flagg (that is NOT a U.S. Army dress uniform!). But especially for the later years, I think he made a lot of sense as a "side villain". Yeah, the whole war on drugs was super lame, but it was a real thing, there were (and are) real villains in charge of these organizations. I hated the DEF figures because they looked stupid, but for a villain this was just fine. I like the Headhunters and Headhunter Stormtroopers a lot, too.

yeah the fact that they kept using that figure for others with those stupid lower legs is what bugged me. it is a great suit sculpt up to that point.
this is a company that knew they'd been reusing parts all throughout hte line. it's one of those things to me that they didnt stop to think when they were creating his sculpt that they may come back to it and want figures in suits; but legs like that arent dressy in suits. |
