It's an Activator, thoughs toys are tiny and from exsperience I've come to realize ALL TINY TRANSFORMERS ARE HORRIBLE! The basic ones that they had for the Beast Erra weren't too bad but when they abandon them for even smaller figures, that was a bad move.
I assume you mean Minicons but even then some are pretty nice. But Energon and Cybertron had some great basics, too, Armorhide, Strongarm, Divebomb, and Sledge are still some of my favorites. Smaller toys in general I scale differently, naturally the scale for deluxes wouldn't apply for Legends. As for Activators, I've got Thundercracker and Bumblebee as well and they're really nice for their size, automorph works well and they're still quite articulate.
There really aren't alot of smaller toys I actully like. Delux is useually a preddy decent size while anything smaller is allways going to be a bit iffy. I kinda like the Mini-con Dead End though, he's kinda like one of thoughs little puzzle balls. Not verry articulant and the arms don't even look like arms but he's got more of Transformation than most of the other Mini-cons. I actully forgot about the Energon and Cybertron basics, never managed to get any of them, I wanted Leobreaker's prebeast
...be glad you didn't get Leobreaker's original form, Overhaul, that one's getting a turn at Plastic Addict someday. If any local Targets still have them, Armorhide or one of the Strongarm repaints are really nice basics. Overhaul was repainted for the movie scouts, too, it's a nice color scheme but the toy itself is still awful.
Did you ever get my message about Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm. Some recent pictures I didn't see at the time came up so he doesn't look AS bad but still looks like Two-Face's dog to me.
Yeah, I got the message and I appreciate the offer. Still, we've barely seen the toys and I don't think we've seen any fair pictures of it just yet, so whether or not it's Plastic Addict worthy is yet to really be seen.
@GeorgedIDK Legends Class generally suck however I have actually been liking some of the more recent ones. I actually got a Legends RTS Megatron last week.
@GeorgedIDK Are you kidding? Most of the tiny Transformers have little to no painted detail, all of the articulation if any at all is generated buy the transformation, and they just generally look at feel like cheap versions of their larger counterparts. I give the exception to Megatron because his original toy had trigger crotch and the Masterpiece version has been known to break in half right out of the package and Legends Devastator for actually having all 3 modes in a single toy.
Cheaper versions is kind of the whole point of the Legends Class. Besides, nearly all the Legends I own have great articulation for their size, and in the end, who really gives a shit about paint detailing?
@GeorgedIDK They cut small painted details in all toys no matter what the size. In larger figures it really doesn't show unless you're looking closely at the figure for that detail. In smaller figures this means that every painted detail is a small one so they show up more when something isn't there. Allot of my older Legends don't even have faces and looks like crap. Megatron has a tiny head and still manages to have eyes painted in. Painted detail is always better than molded 1 color plastic.
I no longer see fit to argue, as you have lost credibility. You are now arguing both sides at the same time. Legends Megatron does have a small head, and does have a lot of nice paint detailing, yet you condemn legends for lack of therein. Besides, not even having a face doesn't automatically make something crap. Any of these ring a bell: Prime Soundwave, G1 Skyfire?
@GeorgedIDK I said from the start that Legends Megatron was an exception to the rule. If all Legends were up to that standard that would be great but they aren't. And having a face plate is not equal to having no face at all. Check movie Bumblebee for a great example, his face plate is actually better looking than his lack of an actual face. Either you can't read or you're arguing just for the sake of arguing either way I'm done with you.
If anyone's arguing for the sake of arguing, it's you. I'm just trying to prove my point: Legends class is a good thing, not a bad one. Also, I'm done with YOU, because you're clearly not dominating this argument.
I beg to differ. Bulkhead is bad, but not as bad as Lockdown. Not even close. He's squat and wide when he's supposed to be long and lanky. At least Bulkhead looks like Bulkhead.

Bumblebee is the best of the best. I agree with you TJ. You also have the same taste in basics then I do. Dude, you're an okay person.

Besides, they perform Symmetrical Docking, so the toy deserves a chance because of that. ;)

Wrong. He's perfect with Megatron's most annoyingly loyal servant, Lugnut, and Soundwave.

I think Leader Bulkhead is much better. If you want to save more money, buy Japanese Bulkhead.
