His alt mode IS stellar. Definitely best gotten on a sale though.

Zoom in on your figures, get voice training, cut the length down

Interesting. Now, THESE are specifics, and that I can respect, no need to say sorry at all. You are totally entitled to like or dislike whoever you wish.

However, that said, I can also comfortably say that I don't think my style will ever be for you.

I tend to avoid zooming in when I can, specifically, as that causes other issues that I dislike. To be fair, I also tend to not watch reviewers who zoom in too much or too often as I dislike that style for viewing, or I at least skip past it. I dunno, I like seeing the whole thing on screen and try to record in that same manner, for the mostpart. I just find too much zoom too jarring to my eye, but that's a personal taste thing.

As for voice training, not sure what that means since I actually do public speaking as part of my job and train others in it, as well as voice act. I figure though that maybe you might not be a fan of a newfie accent (?), and that's fair enough too.

As for the length, I know this one ran wayyy too long, but I cut a half hour as it was, and I am sorry it was too long for you. I wanted to be as thorough as possible here. There was just so much to cover, so many modes and because I took issue with so many things, I tended to linger on explaining them.

Again, I completely respect and appreciate that you suggested specifics and that is totally your right but I can tell you now, even if I tweak some things, which I am always doing anyway, I probably am not going to be the reviewer for you. That is unfortunate, but I wouldn't want you to waste your time on my content if it isn't stylistically for you.

I keep thinking, say, Baltmatrix is more to your liking maybe?

I have both and I prefer this. The aesthetic meshes better with other stuff and it looks more accurate than FP's. I still like FP's enough to not sell it but this is replacing it on my shelf.

Dude i wasnt a fan of the combined mode but this pic is making me want to get him and display him like this as well hahahhaaa

I can see that. I'm just curious though, I know you aren't a fan of mine and That's cool, but who do you like? I'm just curious about whose style does appeal to you.

And the above picture is the way I will display Hot Rod/Rodimus. The concept and engineering ideas were cool but, as was pointed out to me, a few things could have been tweaked to make the guy truly special and as is he feels little like a test shot that got a full production run.

@GotBot - You don't need to keep indulging that commenter. His only activity on this board is trolling you.
