I noticed he had very short forearms
...yeah that too. He's a bit weird proportion-wise, but HEY, at least he's a new mold right?
Well for one thing, his knuckles are part of the tread (I can virtually guarantee they won't be painted) so they have to be the height of the tread, so there's that.
As for his thighs, we haven't seen the arm mode, so, since his is an unorthodox transformation, many choices had to be made to get his arm mode to have approximately symmetrical elbows, but can also condense into a predefined height for the leg mode, all while looking G1 accurate and having a nice looking robot and tank mode, so it actually becomes very complicated when you think about it.
I have no problem with it, and he will probably be combined most of the time, so even if I did, it would be a non-issue
Same on the combined mode part, but its still something I noticed that just looks a bit off. Like Rook is a little bit short in the arms, but it's not terribly noticeable to me. This is just a bit different.
Funny Thing: Since i got them, the protectobots have switched pretty equally between Defensor, vehicle and robot modes. They are great the whole way round
Yeah, they're pretty great, I just love hotspot's alt mode, much the same way I love magnus' alt mode. If my streetwise weren't made of 2 different shades of plastic, he'd be out here too; but now I have Prowl
And, yeah, I was simply pointing out that, engineering wise, the standard (aerialbots) design yields nice, standard figures, but once you stray away from it, things start to get a little iffy, just look at breakdown.
But I just love rook and first aid as limbs, they make for really bulky arms and first-aid makes the best leg, it's so sleek
