Meh, I knew what you meant, I was just being a picky jerk - but I don't agree at all that TF toys look like the cartoon - infact, as a kid, I hated the fact that They looked VERY different - specifically megatron and Prime.

Primes pin head/ twig arm/ no leg day/ no pelvis toy:



Vs the buff proportioned TV version.



Megatron is almost unrecognizeable as a toy


Compared to his cartoon counterpart (sh!t, try fining a good shot of Megatron from G1, nothing! )

I agree - As a kid, the fact that toys never matched what was on the screen always struck me as WTF. I often thought there was a legitimate reason, like they were waiting, waiting to reward us with the REAL version...or they just didn't have the technology.
I never would have guessed it was apathy and bureaucracy.

Meh - a kids 6 year old brain...the things it will think.
