Representative toy gallery
Is the repetition of characters here intentional? Is it meant to show some aspect of the concept? Or should we use a different character for each toyline? --Khajidha (talk) 12:25, 14 February 2018 (EST)
- When I put the gallery together, my intention was to use different versions of the same character to better illustrate differences between the lines. This seemed most relevant between the Hasbro/Takara versions but I felt like including PotP Jazz too for a comparison. My logic went something like this:
- Starscream - probably the most iconic CHUG mold
- Sunstreaker - yellow colour is a bit different, seemed like a "solid figure" from the line
- Drift - references the increasing importance placed on IDW and that characters from outside of G1 are occasionally included
- Jazz - I think widely considered the best CHUG Autobot Cars mold?
- Springer - not a deluxe like all the others, has a third mode, best-received figure of his line
- Defensor - a combiner that isn't made up of just cars or planes that also neatly shows the different design methodology between CW and UW (re: Groove)
- Hardhead - wave 1 autobot that was always a headmaster
- Jazz - not explicitly a member of a combiner team, compare to RTS jazz
- I debated how many Decepticons, if any, to include, but settled on just Starscream. Anyway, that was my reasoning. I definitely feel like sticking to one figure per line is the way to go, but as to what figure that is there's probably room for improvement here. The Wadapan (talk) 12:43, 14 February 2018 (EST)
