It is a masterclass in design still.Īgain though, I really like the look of Hot Shot. Prime Robots in Disguise deluxe class Vehicon is one of those figures. Just so that they can look up and remind themselves on how they already solved the problem they're working on now years ago better than anything they can design now seemingly. The Transformers design teams at Hasbro and Takara should have certain figures visible everywhere in their offices to draw inspiration from while working. It's cool that he's reusing the same shell pieces to give them all the same alt mode but damn if it wasn't a bad design to begin with though. The Dreads especially now that we really see just how incredibly bad those kibble pieces are on Hatchet as hiding that kibble on his back means putting them right out in the open as he's a quadruped and not a biped. It really was an amazing way to design and deal with those pieces. Most Studio Series figures would greatly benefit from the PRiD Vehicon's design. It was a really good design and hid what would've been big panels of kibble otherwise as seen on the first edition Vehicon into the actual parts of the robot while also maintaining accuracy. It's just so odd that they haven't gone back to that design for anything. Or they even could've reused some of those design tricks from PRiD deluxe Vehicon to flip and compress some of those panels to fill in the lower legs. If the windshield had been made of standard opaque plastic then it not only would've saved on paint since there's less paint needed for the windows but only just on this design but it would've allowed them to work in some hinges to have the parts fold flat against the sides of the legs. If you have to do that then it should tell you to maybe not design it like that.

So as a workaround they put the chunks on ball joints so that they can be moved from one place to another in order to use the articulation. But most egregious is that the windshield just ends up as chunks of kibble since there's no hinges in them. Then the paint is over tranlucent blue plastic which only compounds the matter of the yellow paint.

The paint isn't going to match normally but since it's yellow it's going to be worse. However this design showcases the major limitations of using a large amount of translucent plastic.
