I think a lot of the disdain for Bardock's redesign stems from the change in Toriyama's art more broadly more than anything specific to the armor. It's a Christopher Poole point in this case since they're not going to use fanart to base a figure on, but it's nice to imagine what it might've looked like 35 years ago.

Not him, but I prefer the armor with shoulder pads in general.
