Fun fact: in my local area, Transformers have a totally different name due to shitty localisation. I only found out about the international name as a teen. Apart from that I only know that the Micheal Bay films suck and there's Optimus Prime, and that's about it. And also that the franchise is from the mecha genere but apart from that I know next to nothing. DAE have here totally different name for transformers in their area or is it just me?

There's a number of trivia stuff that covers various weird name changes but the specific ones being listed would help.


Might as well bring up the funny thing again that's the english dub for headmasters that for some reason changed blaster's name to Billy. It had very interesting voice direction too.

I should really take a photo of that used earthrise wheeljack I got a few years ago. Was about the price of the normal figure but slightly higher by like a few dollars and it had one of those articulated gun upgrade kits.

Chris has been poorly skinwalking emgo's review format for a little while now, i'm honestly surprised he's still doing it. Who knows what kind of shit they make him do in the praetor dungeon.

Also it bothers me son-chu is the wrong type of here, but that's chris' current state of everything really summed up I think.

Over the years I've occasionally thought of finding the right kind of figure to repaint into it.
 
There's side by sides with the megatron he's supposed to be "updated for scale with" and

:story:
He's still too short for the updated "better scale".

It's so he's the same height as Blaster.

I remember that being one of the advertised things about it being "better" for but it ends up looking weird as a result because blaster is sculpted like he's a bit taller and his head is scaled to emphasize that feeling. Soundwave being ever so slightly shorter than blaster being the major issue people had is really odd to me givent hey were still around the same height as each other. Still as a result this scales better with everything that came before the new "updated scale" they're now trying to go with for ss86 figures that aren't repaints.


It's blurry as hell whenever I try not using the flash today again so you'll have to deal with the slightly scuffed up custom paint on my secondhand third party megatron's face that's only really noticable when the camera flash is on.

I think this megatron's also roughly the height of kingdom/ss86 blaster but I don't own the figure . I personally like this scale but I'd also like the scale of them being the same height as each other. It's mainly just him being paired up against blaster as the same height that's weird to me. Anyways half a head shorter than megatron is better than a head and a half shorter.

Also I noticed he doesn't seem to have the hinge that lets you angle up the gun the siege/earthrise/legacy soundwaves have which is unfortunate if that's the case. I'm REALLY glad though that this new soundwave didn't skimp on the red lines and shit like the netflix and legacy releases did.
EDIT: fuck how the hell did my soundwaves window get scratched? i just noticed the small but extrremely noticable little gashes in his chest. Never bumped him against anything and he never fell off any shelf like the other figures have, so this is new.

EDITX2
Back pylon paint damage I edited into the earlier post while half awake after I bumped into it causing it to fucking fall down and bounce into the wooden door is extremely averse to being photographed but you can kind of see it here with the flash on, just barely.

it's the white bit on the backmost left upper side of it, and the white line coming down the side of the foreground.

Is tfwiki.net hosted off of a refurbished Dell Optiplex desktop? I've been doing figure name lookup for selling off part of my collection and the site is constantly carking it.

Unexpectedly, Fall of Cybertron was briefly relisted on Steam for about a hour, until it was delisted again about a hour later. Unfortunately, i didn't catch this in time and therefore couldn't secure any personal snips, so i can only offer screenshots of Steamdb's update history
