And a reminder that some high profile reissues went up for preorder
>>10955434I can't believe they bothered reissuing that Shattered Glass set. It sat and sat and sat because nobody wanted it the first time around. Anything to avoid reissuing stuff that people actually want I guess.
>>10955453They pulled out the Earthrise Prime molds for his rerelease, they probably thought they might as well make the most of it and do reissue Shattered Glass while they're at it too.
>>10955431The design of Prime looks good, animation seems more like high moon games.
>>10955431I have no need for this Optimus.
>>10955236>but back then I was a poor college student.I know this pain. That was a rough few years for me as well.
>>10955431>in space
Got a headless Metalhawk for $5 at a discount store that moves unsold merch from other places it buys in bulk. I had a spare T30 Brainstorm laying around so I borrowed his noggin for now, but does anyone know if someone's made a model of his real head for printing? I imagine there are enough headless Metalhawk's floating around now to necessitate one.
TFOne launch in space in 3 minutes!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8zWPI9HdL9Y&pp=ygUXVHJhbnNmb3JtZXJzIG9uZSBsYXVuY2g%3D
>>10955520pffft hahaha
>>10955520>have to wait 1 hour till it gets in "space" to release itLmaoA weather balloon too
>55 minutes
>>10955431I don't mind the design (I like it even) but as a toy this desperately needs more color.
>>10955431>already yellowed
In addition to the headless Metalhawk they had a Towline loose in a box for $5, I brought him home and figured out why he got returned: a busted elbow. I cemented in a bit of plastic cut from a highlighter and that seems to do the trick, I also gave him a Deception badge because I think his colors fit them better. I imagine this punk would be buds with Hardtop and intend to pair them up like Runamock and Runabout.
>>10955431Show me Megatron
>>10955480My god that looks so cheap.
>News I ran shoots down Transformers One balloon
CAN YOU TAKE MEH HIGHYAH!?
I AMMEGATRON!
>Balloon pops
>>10955555Damn, so close
>>109555552007 movie will never be topped.Everything was perfect, even marketing was genius.
>>10955558Kek
>>10955545The entire middle is a colorless void. It's a shame. I like it otherwise. The alt mode isn't great but it's serviceable enough. The deco just blows.
>>10955555>gets quints>doesn't post quintessons
>>10955480When did Studio Series become the quality of the kids line?
>>10955556
>>10955570For a deluxe he's fine, a bit light on the paint maybeBut I think it's the squat proportions and rounded shapes giving that impression
>>10955431Is that the Earthrise Matrix?
HOLY KINO
>see earth in stream>its flat as a pancakeEarth is round fags btfo
>>10955579>For a deluxeAre deluxes not allowed to have color or what? I've long accepted that classes are more about price point than any consistency with size and engineering scale, but it looks bland by any standard.
bruh
>>10955520Uh... I was expecting way worse. Seems like a fun movie.
ITS OUThttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5a09yJU-mCI
>>10955585>Orion Pax can't transform
The action looks fun but good God is the dialogue obnoxious
America L once again. Japan please do this franchise justice.
I can't believe AI is already generating entire movies, what a future
>>10955598Yeah if you're 5. Try sitting through this for 90 minutes.
>>10955599Lmfao @ this dumpster fire. Hasbro take your nigger Megatron and stick it in your ass. Its actually unbelievable how bad this looks jfc
>>10955480JESUS CHRIST DON'T TELL ME THEY'RE GONNA PHASE OUT WFC OPTIMUS FOR THIS SHIT I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO BUY THAT
>>10955599Really nigger'd Megs up, eh?
>>10955610Anon, if you cant buy it since it released...then you got bigger financial problems than Hasbro ending that fig
>>10955520It looks... okay, I'm cautiously hopeful. I still think the idea of an origin story for the ability to transform is pretty lame, but I'm hoping it doesn't last long and they can just transform for most of the movie. And the dialog was pretty meh, some really obnoxious marvel-tier humor going on. The action and visuals look pretty great though
>>10955599Well, hopefully this mean a LEGACY Voyager class Prime Airachnid (2:41) is coming down the line or her SS figure looks good I'll settle for that.
I don't think these comments are supposed to go with this video
>>10955599Welp. Better luck next time, maybe.
>>10955609Yeah his voice sucks, that ain't Megs.
>>10955612nnegatron
>>10955610oof, if you can't afford that by now than i got some bad news broki- i mean buddy.
This...is kino
>>10955610Awesome I'm glad they're deleting that dogshit design. WFC games were good but their designs were so fucking bad.
>>10955617Apparently the gimmick of the film is finding the matrix of leadership
>>10955605Why do Americans insist on giving robots ugly faces? They used to be handsome.
>G1>G1>G1WE WON
>>10955640The face is clearly modeled after Chris Hemsworth like live action Prime face was modeled after Peter Cullen
>>10955614>>10955624I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABILITY I'M TALKING ABOUT AVAILABILITY WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT PRICE
it’s setting in that this movies gonna suck and we’re not gonna get any good TV or movie content for another decade
>>10955648Then buy it now faggot, buy it online
>>10955651I think it looks good, I give it a shot.I have hope because its by Josh Cooley and Toy Story 4 trailer also looked bad but the film is great. Though it is written by the people who wrote ant man so
thread has gone to shit in record time
>>10955641We Airachnid bros won too
>>10955638Hope that's Megatronus and not some bs retcon of Tarn being the OG
This is so offensively, outrageously BAD I'm legitimately taken aback. It's like, if Earthspark was given a movie budget and the execs told them to dumb it down for toddlers instead of children. Holy fuck. And the fact that they had to butcher Exodus of all stories for a shitty adaptation which features the same childish demeanor as those mass-produced Marvel movies, that might as well be tantamount to blasphemy. And the fact that dumb fucks who do nothing but quip and parrot retarded jokes and spam emoticons are the only ones praising this slop in the comments just shows what kind of audience they have in mind.
>>10955654I told you guys Airachnid was one of the core future Decepticonsnin the film with Megs, Starscream, Soundwave and shockwave.Look for her going forward in other continuities to be the main femcon
>>10955659Don’t care.At least now I can get my zoomer niece and nephews into the fandom.
I'll try and keep an open mind. Animated Prime proved we can have a unique take instead of relying too much on G1.
>>10955665I can finally get a zoomer gf who is into tfs
>>10955659Transformers x Reddit: The Movie>>10955663You cant be nominated for awards anymore unless you have a minority and a female main characters. They will be shoehorned in no matter what.
>>10955665What the fuck? Bayformers, TFP, WFC/FOC are literally where zoomers got into into the series.
>>10955659>exodusHoly fuck they really are adapting exodus>quintessons ruling cybertron and working with cybertron leaders>tcogs>matrix
might as well call it Transformers Juan
Looks like a fun kid's movie.
>>10955431>G1 againI want Michael Bay back...
>>10955659>This is so offensively, outrageously BAD I'm legitimately taken abackShut up drama queen.
>>10955663>the main femconI'm down with that. Combines Slipstream and Blackarachnia into one. Now if only they would make a good Takara figure of her.
Alpha Trion looks like a fucking Bionicle
>>10955666I don't mind it being different. On a visual level it seems rather conservative anyway. What we've seen (or rather, heard) is just genuinely grating.
>>10955607I watched the 98 episodes of G1 two times, I'm sure I will survive.
>>10955520Its so, so bad. Worse than I had expected and exactly what I feared. People are going to be begging Bay to return.
>>10955676Stop consuming watered down garbage.
>>10955677Zoomers would have had to slip a disc to experience that so early on in their life, going off experience.
>>10955690Not the guy you're replying to, and maybe you're not the person they're replying to, but you don't have to like the trailer to think that the guy isn't overreacting. Drama Queen is a good description.
Toys?
>>10955695I don't want toys of niggers and filthy AUSTRALIANS
WITNESS ME
>>10955669Dude it’s 2024.My 17 niece and 12 nephew think Transformers are old zombie series.Like how I viewed Popeye, Yogi Bear and Heckle and Jeckle to my parents .
So, are these Quints? Or something new
>>10955698>bayhem filmsWait what????
>>10955680Yeah, she doesn’t step on any of the other main cons niche like Slipstream would with Starscream.
>>10955681Oh shit, all the 13 are in this, aren’t they?
>>10955694If you don't crack down and be tough on the studios for blatantly disrespecting and butchering a very well respected and cherished piece of hard work, they will keep doing it. You already had Rise of The Beasts to foreshadow the direction they were going in.
>>10955681>broken horn>moss growing Muh it tells a le storyyyyyy
>>10955698Will they remove the helmets in the movie?
>>10955697Me neither but there are other toys to talk about :(
Movie doesn't look for me but I didn't expect it to, some of the designs look neat so at least there might be some decent figures out of it.
>>10955709Yeah but too many people liked RoTB, so this is what we get.
>>10955703>Dude it’s 2024.The last 5 years went by like nothing. It might as well still be 2019 for zoomers. >My 17 niece and 12 nephew think Transformers are old zombie seriesJesus Christ. It must be an outlier that the 18-21 boys around me have inherited their interest in similar things to previous generations. Everything from classical works, to mid-century, to early 2000s to 2010.>Yogi BearAlso something early zoomers watched the last time I checked.
Elita's head design gives me Strongarm vibes.
>>10955714Are you kidding?
>>10955714I might buy an Elita because I like skinny fembots but that's about it. Maybe they'll do a great Slipstream for this line though, that'd be cool.I will unenthusiastically torrent this movie.
Is it just me or does this guy kinda resemble Scourge?
>>10955732Probably just a genericon
>>10955644ugly
>>10955732I do not enjoy Genericons/Vehicons/clone-grunts and find their inclusion in any TF media to be profoundly lazy.>hurrr animation is hard :<Too bad, it's your job now stop copy/pasting loser.
And here comes my personal toughts about the trailer: >christ pratt That's all folks>>10955434Okay, maybe now i will have the chance to get that optimus pack
>first ever fully cg cybertron animated film with 0 humans>negative reactions because of some lighthearted comedyI hate you fags
>>10955737Chris Pratt isn't in this you retard, neck yourself.
MORE IMAX SCREENS!>Deadline confirms the new September 20th date is because the reception from theatre owners at Cinemacon was so positive, that the movie secured more IMAX screens. Late September is a stronger date.
>>10955739No, it also looks like shit and is written like shit and is voiced by celebrity voice actors instead of Cullen and Welker.
>>10955739I'd rather have humans than dialogue like this. I've never had a problem with humans in Transformers. Earth is somewhat built into the entire premise. The movie just looks annoying.
Bayformers fan here, the trailer was funny. What's the big deal?
>>10955707Platinum Dunes was always his studio
>>10955749Transformers isn't funny, Transformers is about action and cruel deaths. This is literally RAPE.
Come see our movie they said, it'll be like Exodus, War for Cybertron, or the Bumblebee opening they said>arguably worse animation quality and style than a video game trailer from FIFTEEN (15) years agoIt's over. They baited us so hard.
>>10955752Then why is it called bayhem films?
>>10955748>I've never had a problem with humans in Transformers. Earth is somewhat built into the entire premise. The movie just looks annoying.Just give up man some people just dont understand this and will never understand it.
>>10955754But its a kids franchise...Fucking grow up>>10955755Budget is around 110 million dollars so
>>10955749The botched and poorly written Bayformers trilogy looks like a cinematic masterpiece next to this.>the trailer was funnyNo it's not. It's loud, annoying, and tone deaf, just like ROTB. This isn't Angry Birds or Power Rangers.
>>10955754>This is literally RAPENot until Shockwave shows up
Instead of Transformers One, watch MASTERFORCE you plebs.
>>10955755It looks like Earthspark The Movie, not so good
Watched it... and I'm shocked. I was totally ready for a furrowed brow to be my companion through this trailer, to just be bored and dismissive with it.But I...don't hate it.I'm not seeing anything that's got my motor revved, but already seeing some promising possibilities (was that Airachnid?).- I don't hear the VA doing "that voice" for the character, which as a "THIS IS NOT THE FUCKING 80'S!" movie is a good thing. I love Peter Cullen's work, the sincerity I hear when he is Optimus... but this is NOT G1 OP, and this "feel" of a movie would have been ill-suited had it utilized his wonderful gravitas.- I see from the rest of it and others' comments that my very first thought on the orbs was wrong: "wait, all four of them get A Matrix?!?" (but, T-Cogs... OK, less slapful for me), but I'm still feeling a bit 90's nostalgic from the "Alpha (Trion), recruit a team of teenagers (service bots) with attitude!" scene. If those are T-Cogs "giving them powers" (transformation AND weapons), then that's totally Zordon handing over some morphers.- The "have to learn to transform" seems fitting for the scenario to me, unlike how dreadfully handled it was in Beast Machines.- I can see where people are getting Guardians of the Galaxy vibes... TF has always been a space opera, if not directly adjacent.- The aesthetics of the bot modes are Prime / Earthspark to me... it's not the worst, but the faces are like... weirdly cartoonish to me.Overall, I've gone from "gonna pass on premise" to "even if the trailer over-promised and it winds up being awful anyway, this will definitely be worth seeing in theatres with my not-so-little-anymore collector."
>>10955644>make a pile of shrapnel>"yeah it looks like his voice actor, really, just go see the fucking movie you retarded fanboy"
Transformers media just isn't very good.
>>10955759>just like ROTBROTB belongs in the cinematic hall of fame and catalogued in the national archives compared to this faggoty trash ONE
>>10955698Why do they all have holes in their chests?
>>10955777For their T-Cogs.
>>10955648It’s literally available from Pulse right now so you only have yourself to blame
Trailer makes the movie feel like a Dreamworks film. Like watching Shrek or Robots with a Transformers skin over it. I'm not impressed.
I like the movie, remember retards it's a fucking kids movie that you go see with your little shitlings or gf that' likes cute and fun movies.Here at least Fallen looks ok-ish >>10955638From big 3, I only dislike Soundwave proportions. Seekers mold might be fun to handle. >>10955704Quints look like something from TMNT but I like it much more than egg with faces.>>10955732Sentinel>>10955755That might happen in second or third movie, this one is just a set up.
Does anyone knows if pipes white parts yellow? >>>10955037
>>10955688Nobody wants fucking bayshit
>>10955732Holy fuck it is Sentinel PrimeWhy isnt he red?
>reeee it looks badBut it doesnt?>writing is bad!!!!How do you know? Majority of trailers dont even have the final dialogue in them, this was made by marketing team that doesnt have anything to do with the making of the film>too many jokes!Again, they just showed what might be all the jokes for all we know, director said the film is emotional and gets dark by the end and we get bits of that in the trailer
>>10955807I'll never ever forgive him
Kids line prime changers figures leaked
Better than rotb mainline kids figures
>>10955698Uncanny valley.
>>10955817Why does he looks like weirwolf?
>>10955748>>10955757The problem is when humans are more important as characters than the robots. When the human side has most of the lines you know they fucked up. Like in the Bay movies.
>>10955812My only complaint so far is that the main 3 guys sound nothing like they should, Elita is the one exception and that's solely because she's the only one with which you can do whatever fucking voice you want and still make it work.
>>10955821Aren't the left two from Cyberverse?
>>10955831Someone tell the kid that Optimus doesn't have an afro.
>>10955716Why the fuck do people like ROTB? It's worse than Bumblebee. Who are these people? Trashy rednecks and 1350 from Atlanta?
>>10955819>shoulder smokestacks turn into hot rod*-style exhaustsya know, that's a pretty good idea actually*the car, not the character
>>10955831Are parents buying these? Do kids want these? Like forget the adult collector turbo nerds (like me), I don't know about you guys but as a kid I would have thought these were lame as hell. A transformer that turns into a mask? I want him to turn into a trucc or a munkey you know?Is Hasbro at least chargung only like 10-15 bucks for these?
>>10955831Why do they keep making masks? Kids don't wear these and adult collectors don't buy them either.
>>10955704Liege Maximo?
>>10955847Masks are $35>>10955829These are $20>>10955821These are $15
>>10955856No fuckin way dude, no way. 35??? No parent is gonna spend that even for the rare kid that actually wants a dude that transforms into his own face. The hell was Hasbro thinking? Starting to think it isn't just Marvel and Star Wars drsgging it down, its Hasbro too.
>celebrity voice actors(I don't care if it doesn't have cullen or welker but this is clearly just for marketing's sake)>shitty mcu humor >those fucking faces>something as basic as TRANSFORMING is a plot device instead of something inherent to cybertronians (seriously, why?)and worst of all>set on cybertron so the alt modes are space nothings that will produce shitty and boring toysreally unfortunate that this will be yet another illumination-tier nothingburger movie that will come out, leave no impact, and be forgotten in 5 months>>10955794>It's a kids movie so it's allowed to be shit!!! I really wish you retards would fuck off with this narrative that kids movies SHOULD be soulless low effort slop for cavemen
>>10955867>something as basic as TRANSFORMING is a plot device instead of something inherent to cybertronians (seriously, why?)This alone is enough to dislike it.
>Orion Pax>D-16>B-127>Elita-1???Why not just call her Ariel? The Little Mermaid remake was last year ago, so there shouldn't be any brand confusion now.
>>10955867>>something as basic as TRANSFORMING is a plot device instead of something inherent to cybertroniansI'm pretty sure Orion gives a throwaway line during the trailer that implies that cybertronian miners aren't built with functioning t-cogs, I agree with everything else though, I'm feeling really worried about how the full thing is gonna come out
>>10955875It's the animated ver that turns into Black Spiderwoman because scarjo is voicing her geddit reddit?
>>10955663She's getting her ass killed and the next movie will have Flamewar or Shadow Striker as the token girl of the bad guy squad.
>>10955867Sometimes the space-nothings are cohesive enough to work, but it's often just an excuse to call a yoga position an alt-mode.
>>10955739The whole reason humans are despised in the films is because they're used for relatability and comedy. So here's a movie that eemoves the humans, but is now making the Cybertronians relatable and goofy. They have no idea what people want. Same reason they made the last film goofier with mutt protags and a tranny voice actor. Big suits who are detached from everything making bad calls.
>>10955880Fuck I’d be so pissed, I hate shadow striker so fucking much
>>10955812Paramount isn't going to pay you.
>>10955784Robots was Blue Sky. Also it isn't showing anywhere near the levels of visual creativity of Robots.
Can’t wait for Studio Series Airachnid two years from now
>>10955676>WAAHHHH JUST CONSUME STOP HAVING ANY STANDARDS OF YOUR OWN WAAHHHHpeople like you are the reason this series and so many others like it have gone into the toilet
>>10955887Especially after TF1 makes only a third of the budget back in theaters
>>10955698>bumblebee in a PRIME AND MEGATRON origin filmi hate hasbro's retarded insistence on putting bee into fucking everything.
>>10955879So Airachnid is going to bite Elita-1?
>>10955817>>10955819>>10955821It's another line without showing the good Megatron toys. Cool.
>>10955901Megatron is a bad guy, and bad guys are bad and negative. We can't have negativity.
>>10955739fucking this >>10955883they tweak things even slightly and fags like you line up at the pig trough to lap it up.
>>10955899I'm glad the first thing he did in the image comics was get shot in the face and die, yeah yeah they're probably gonna do a Goldbug thing with him later but his absence in the story so far has been nice, I especially like Cliffjumper taking the human-wrangler spot for now.
The director just admitted the trailer doesn't sell the movie well lolhttps://collider.com/transformers-one-director-dune/
>>10955659Looks good to me it’ll be fun to see Optimus and megatron fallout. Although I wish it was a series instead of a movie
G1 faggotry has utterly and thoroughly destroyed this franchise you all deserve the bad upcoming moving
>>10955703Hasbro really stopped investing in Transformers media since Prime bombed. RID and Earthspark and Cyberverse have all been half-assed attempts.
>>10955453It suffered what ML Juggernaut Rouge had where no one thought they be making the whole team/series to then witness a massive wave of figures in the SG universe and that spiked demand . That said who would you like reissued? I'm in the minority but I really like to see a reissue of TR Windblade
>>10955909>the trailer showing a ton of lore and characters borrowing from the Aligned novels and Prime is bad because.......... it's too G1
>>10955914G1 existing at all really mindbreaks zoomers.
>>10955909G1 IS "Transformers" you fucking idiot. I don't hate or dislike any other part of the feanchise, amd in fact BW is my favorite, but G1 is and will forever be the core of the series because it is its origin. Get over it already.
>>10955659>And the fact that they had to butcher Exodus of all storiesoh yes that classic TF story EXODUS!How can we forget Exodus!? Everyone was always talking about how awesome exodus is, yes of course. Fan beloved story exodus, people always say it's one of the best TF stories ever and it remains in print because it's so popular.
>>10955916So does the woods and indoor office spaces without furniture, just ignore the children.
The biggest flaw of this trailer isn’t megatron‘s urban tone or the comedy it’s how round their faces are you can tell some executive insisted on giving them cuter faces because “animated characters with cute faces sell well” to be fair the the cutesy faces are way way worse in transformers prime and a lot of fans love that show
>>10955703Popeye gets a relevance boost from One Piece being thematically inspired by it. Not much but it's something.
>>10955906I blame marketing
ARACHNID BROS NOT LIKE THIS...OH NO NO NO
Ayo this movie…
>>10955514facebook has some 3d groups, just watch out for the levels of autism and 3rd worlder mudhut scam artists.
>>10955934This movie looks pretty good
>>10955704The Legacy rockformers
>>10955847Young kids like role play items and character masks are a thing for movie lines. Might as well make the gimmick on brand.I don't think they're the greatest toys ever but I can see the appeal more than say the Titans heroes stuff. Like if you're going to have an inaccurate robot without the alt-mode, at least have it do something useful. Getting a 2-in-1 toy as a kid makes it feel like you're getting something extra.That said I'd find it cooler if it was city bot/planetformer heads or something you could use as a scale item in mask mode, but those would be way more niche at retail
>>10955764I think either Earthspark is either aping the movie like TFP was inspired by the Bay movies or they are clearly copying from in-house evergreen designs that Hasbro is forcing on both productions.
>>10955906>Copium
>>10955931Bring back her plot line Scarlett Johansson’s voice will be perfect for it
>>10955931Neat, you can see her balljoints.
>>10955941Make it something interactive like the Real Gear line, then. Masks are not fun. Armada Laserbeak was fun I just wish it had come in the prototype colors instead of tang.
>>10955906>they're coping alreadyHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>10955970Depends on who "they" means. I'm sure the people who made the movie still think it is good and will until it bombs/gets awful reviews.
I may go see it, definitely way too many quips in the trailer.>>10955939I'm guessing the big Decepticon face is actually The Fallen/Megatronus' head and D-16 takes the name and symbol from it in a Bayverse reference
>>10955970>>10955948>copingFor what? This article was written a month ago, they are written in advance not in real time
>>10955835>>Optimus did a backwards dunk with basketball in G1.Nope, he’s got a ‘fro anon. Deal with it.
>>10955900>>ScarJoEight Legged Freaks reference?
>>10955986Damn. This is sounds more and more plausible.
So far - No scrotums- No fart jokes- No Looney Tunes slapstickIt's already on the path to being some of the better fiction in Transformers.
>>10955992ThisREMINDER
>>10955995>Beast Wars is Good >Animated is Good>Movie is okay, sequels are worse>The recent TV show that didn't try anything new was awful
>>10956008Beast Machines was good, not Beast Wars
>>10956014No it wasn't.
>>10956017Beast machines is for smart menIt makes you think about life
>>10956020>The seeds of the future lie buried in the pastOnly if you look at it from an out of story context does it work.
>>10955995I did that for seven Transformers movies and they were all really bad or mediocre.
>>10955434This pissed me off a bit. I had a sale going for 10 Transformers including Jetfire the guy was supposed to pay today on it. He messages me yesterday to take Jetfire off and sent me a link to the BBTS PO. Oh well I’ll sit on him for a while and wait for him to sell out again.
>>10955822It's SUPPOSED to be a lion, thought the white 'mane' pieces blend too much with his back plate and the face looks too canine; it's a reference to pic related (which was actually Cheetor), which in turn was a reference to his TR toy.On a related note, expect a Thundertron repaint for this guy later.
>>10955768I really hope the idea is that the transformation cogs used to be a part of every cybertronian, but the quintesons removed them when they enslaved cybertron.I'm fine with transformers not originally being able to transform, but not during the era of optimus and megatron, shit needs to be set I the days of the 13 for that to work.
>>10956031I think sadly most of the ire of what Hasbro is doing now is coming from flippers/scalpers because this is incentivizing everyone to never by from them. If the talk of them doing made to order backlog becomes more than talk this could kill the reselling market
>>10956040why doesn't it work now? I'm not following why you can't have OP and Megs origin story tie into transformation cogs. This isn't G1, just another universe telling a new story.
>>10955681Toy design has him as tje unicorn/lion thing from TR.
>>10956032>transformers bible Oh no they gave him the aligned story bible...
>>10956020Yeah it makes you think about ending it because it's so bad
>>10956032>hasbro gave me the exodus bible because they lost a shitload of money for creating a transformers bible and they want me to use itThis might be the first time the bible is followed and not discarded
>>10956057Supposedly some books no one read followed it.
>>10955638Holy kino
reminder this is directed by the same guy who directed the last toy story
>>10956071I wonder what a David Cronenberg directed Transformers movie would have been like.
>>10955822Cause the current team doesn't know how to make cat heads, look at Tigerhawk and Lio convoy.
No $oyjack shoops for the main poster yet?
>>10956081I wish they were a bannable offense.
>>10956071How was the direction on that? I only heard the script sucked
>>10956089Story was elevated by director
>>10956077>Cause the current team doesn't know how to make cat heads, look at TigerhawkWhat are you talking about? Tigerhawk's beast head is extremely accurate, looks exactly like a bear.
>jon hamm is sentinel primeBASED
>>10955431I feel like this is going to be a good movie, but the trailer really takes every single joke and edits them together in a highlight reel. Both spoiling a lot of good jokes and making it seem like it’s going to be way more humorous than the overall tone will probably end up being.I’m curious what’s up with the conspiracy angle. With cybertronians living underground and not allowed on the surface for whatever reason. That could be interesting.
It's been a LONG time since I bought a mainline Hasbro TF figure. These three came in last night, and damn...they're really good. Especially Megatron. Are the mainline figures good now? Or are these 3 exceptions.
>>10956114Are a crapshoot.
Onyx Prime remains
>>10956114There’s crap ones and good ones those are all good ones
>>10956117>>10956133Ah okay, well the only other figure I have interest in is Swoop, so I guess that'll be my next purchase. The Studio Series BBM Megatron is a surprise hit for me. It's solid as hell, and is quickly becoming my new favorite Megatron.
>>10955769You're either too retarded to draw the obvious similarities between the two, or you need glasses. Hopefully it's the latter.
>>10955431How many SS TFOne figures are we getting this year?
>>10956148They look nothing alike you moron shill
>>10955914Aligned already bases itself a lot on G1
>>10955520Okay this is kino.
>>10955331at least yours isn't bent>>10955337oh hey he can... almost walk on all fours..>>10955376that's so dumb>>10955384oh hey his shoulders don't look bad hereso can you position seasaur's neck as a tail?>>10955450goats, antelopes, cows, unicorns, sheep, all the same family>>10955492i was lucky enough to have no idea how badly i needed to save all my money back then, so I used funds from my first job to buy lots of zoids
>>10956034It's a reference to the canceled bm Snarl redeco we didn't get during universe in around 03.
>>10955644Far from it, also Bay prime look nothing like Peter, unless he had an awful accident and ended looking like this.
>>10956175>so can you position seasaur's neck as a tail?Maybe? There is alot going on back there already tho
>>10955599It just looks like fucking Earthspark with a little more budget, don't tell me this is gonna be some kinda prequel to that
>>10956045Being a new universe means nothing when they've already shown some of the 13. Half of them become pointless without being the origin for certain aspects of transformation.That aside, it's probably more of a situation where the transformation cogs were actively removed from the characters since other characters lack the chest holes and have vehicle kibble.
>>10955924>>10956190I’ll say it again they made the faces cutesy because that’s what general audiences expect from animation this will probably do well in China
>>10955659>>10956195Nevermind, somebody else noticed that, too. God, it's so generic looking
>>10956195Another reboot, if anything they'll try to force it into the live action joke of chronology.
>>10956195They have different voice actors for the cast.
>>10956201Could you imagine if it looked like this tho? It’d be a disaster
For the guy who asked about the connections earlier, the arm has a solid clip, there is a harness type clip connecting Seasaur to Skysaur, which is sandwiched in tightly - sorry again, but I'm quite an incompetent photographer
>>10956155Implying I get paid for stating the obvious? lolThe general nose shape is there, just modified to look less human and more robot, and the chin shape and eye position are pretty much spot-on. But then again, I shouldn't expect much from someone who probably failed elementary school art class.
>>10956206The lack of a nose means humans can't relate to it, but the face is more sharply defined.
>>10956211It’s an emoji you fucking nigger
>>10955676It's only drama if it's controversial, and it seems like thinking this looks like shit is the common sentiment.
>>10956213Looks like a screenshot from the show Transformers Prime.
>>10955698Jesus Christ the faces look entirely unappealing. They aren't very stylized OR realistic. They fail to look alien but definitely aren't human. I never liked how Prime did it's faces but It at least read like someone's artistic vision. This just looks like AI trying to interpret crude linework from someone who sucks at drawing faces.
>>10955599This looks worse than beast wars.
>>10955848>and adult collectors don't buy them either.
>>10956225The difference is that Beast Wars happened at the dawn of CG animation and was literally inventing the technology as it went along, while this shit has zero excuse for how it looks.
Is the Transformers franchise more used to perpetuate the space hoax or introduce children to the concepts of violence and war? Also, is Hasbro a Satanic company? If not, why do more than 50% of the characters have blatant devil horns for no reason whatsoever? >pic rel is totally not baphomet, r-right?
>>10956249>why do more than 50% of the characters have blatant devil horns for no reason whatsoever?Because it's rad
>>10956249>is Hasbro a Satanic company?I wish, then the fembots would look hot and less like dudes.
>>10955547>>10955556
>>10955570when they failed to miniaturize either of the leader class dorito starscreams for SS
>>10955585dumbbetter than baymovie faces though. those guys were all butterfaces.
>>10955619making a lot of good points on both sides though. you gotta like that.
>>10955644that's kind of sweet of them, but it's rare a voice actor has a face you'd really want to adapt.. especially into a robot.
>>10955698megatron's helmet makes him look like a golem. or some guy from the 70s who just went to the barber like 'yeah gimme a popular haircut' and didn't care that it didn't match his face.. who's the actor i'm thinking of.. he was a big tough hispanic guy and had a decently big nose, and hair like that, which looked ridiculous on him
>>10955742it's literally most people's birthday
>>10955784pisses me off when people praise the sonic and mario movies and aren't disgusted like i am>>10955768while I admit that audiences way overblow stuff like "Character's entire thing is X, but in the movie, he hates X until he learns to like it, or doesn't X until the very end" like with Popeye that was straight out of the old comics, that wasn't "missing the point of the character"but transformations are supposed to be part of their biology. if you want to make this some kind of mecha series about robots gaining special powers, then make it something else and not Transformers.
>>10955817angry.... unicorn lion? with the mane halves just hanging off as kibble? yeah this looks terrible.>>10955821>tankcowards. also this isn't how they look in the movie.
>>10956292Not mine!Mine's on Sept 19
>>10955924I don't think you know what cute is.
>>10956194I didn't realize he already had landsaur's tail. i was wondering where that sucker went.Looks like if you flipped that hinge up though, it could be a decent tail or it could arch over his back like scorponok's. I think that's how I'll pose mine. this "ima sneak around one shoulder" thing does not expand dong.
>>10955599I just wanted to stop by and give my condolences to TF fans
>>10956206the faces were the one thing that show kinda sucked at. and they couldn't do the human ones right either. they looked okay until their mouths opened. instead of the lower jaw moving down, the mouths just opened upward and swallowed up the entire upper lip, touching the nose while fully open. bizarre
>>10955610AnonIt's so much easier to find now tooThere's like 2 or so in the /toy/ BST I think, Been awhile since I looked
>>10956235ehhhmainframe also had some questionable choices for stylized faces. they could do realistic human ones just fine, in fact ReBoot had basically the ONLY nicely-proportioned human faces in all of CGI for a long time. but once they started stylizing, it got... weird. I'm used to them now, of course, but they're not as cool as japan would have made them.
>>10955698When it comes to robot eyes, I've always preferred either flat colored light eyes like the WFC cartoon, or the way the Bionicle movies did it.
>>10956297i meant the general areabecause our parents all fucked on christmas>>10956312what about beast wars? some were flat lights, some looked like there was an inner light inside of a translucent taillight
>>10955599>Mix of Earthspark, MTMTE and Prime with MCU-tier humourI had my expectations pretty low given there hasn't been a TF show I liked since Galaxy Force (or a few specific episodes of Animated) and knew they would go in a different direction than ROTB (I liked it but it flopped so that was a given), but this is like my worst fucking nightmare come to be. Thank fuck I can just ignore it exists.
>>10956249>the space hoaxThis is immaculate bait because this one genuinely pisses me off.
>>10956315Now that you mention it, yeah I like how Beast wars does eyes. It's a nice blend.
>>10956311Weebs really do think like this huhlmao
>>10955762I've been rewatching it and Galaxy Force lately and having a blast, seconded.
>>10955520>>10955599I'm actually not even surprised this looks like complete shitLike literally the most brainless, generic and awful marvel slop paired with cringe ass dialogue and "humor"Holy fuck that's bad>>10955619>Literally using Bots and AI to ramp up numbers for HypeLMAOOOOO
>>10956235Beast Wars also had the added benefit of having a lot of really freaky faces like Rampage or Tarantulas (and everybody looked different) whereas this new movie seems to go for this weird uniform design for everybody that looks terrible
>>10955899Literally thisGod damn sick and fucking tired of bee being a major character in every single Transformers series since 07It's the sign of dogshit at this point
Magmatron is great. Worth every penny & much better than SS86 UM.
So why did they make the faces look like that one guys porn models?
>>10955819>Vehicle line looks smoother and better than the newly shown Studio Series oneEmbarrassing
>>10956320of course it does, it was manufactured for that express purpose (and to make certain groups look stupid)this has been going on for centuries.>>10956324I'm not saying chinky eyes can see angles better or anything, just somehow they seem to have the knack. Something about their upbringing I imagine. Something visual they get trained on, that makes them better at keeping things even and neat. like how chinese learning a tonal language makes them better singers
How long do you guys think it takes before we have people posting stuff like "if you don't like this new take is because you're bigoted and hate new things" and "bros...love me some based Transformers One kino its so goated and comfy"? My schizophrenia-induced premonitions are already picturing this.
>>>10956349a-anon.. I know you don't want to take him apart again, but your Landsaur pictures before were all at some angles... could you / did you already take some of him in profile? I have to decide for myself just how bad that looks, and different pictures seem misleading.the combined mode looks great, I'm not going to have to wait for as much of a discount as I thought.
>>10956367We're seeing that NOW on Redit and Twitter man
>>10956367People already say that for Animated so this will no doubt have the same sort of shit taste defenders too.
>>10956367These aren’t “visions of the future” you’re having that’s just people having opinions. see you in a few weeks when you start complaining about how inaccurate the studio series figures are
>>10956377>people having opinionsFUCK people AND their gay opinions!
We get one trailer and people are having meltdowns over the comedic moments in it. I think people really underestimate the brand damage AOE and TLK did to the brand - which is saying a lot because the first 3 weren't great. They shifted directions with BB and ROTB - but public perception remains built around the Bay movies. TF One NEEDS to be marketed this one to really hammer home that it's a totally different type of film and it's unrelated to the live action movies. They need to win back a lot of people and need to get more young fans to grow the brand again.
>>10956381AoE actually improved mattersthen TLK shat all over it
>>10956318Well your choice of TF media for the next year is this, Earthspark season 2, and a monthly comic book
None of the movies are any good.
>>10956366Do you have any other commanders aside from Ultra Magnus? I like Sky Lynx and Rodimus, wondering how they compare in terms of value.
>>10955431>>10955819Give me one of these in white with a sexy blue mouth plate
This movie is for hasbro to hook the young kids, movie 2 will be WFC and 3 being FOC/escape to earth. which those kids can age up with. I’m sure they’ll throw some unicron in there as well for part 3
>>10956388I've also got SG Jetfire, Rodimus & Armada Prime. I only compared it to UM since its the most recent. Rodimus is good but terrible value for money. I got him for less than half price so it was worth it in the end. Jetfire is the only commander class after Magmatron now that made me not feel bad for paying close to rrp to, they are both so good. Armada is great as well but I am not a big fan of the design so its just okay for me.
TF One toys so assWhy would you want this Prime lmfao, just buy VNRIt's a design of a skinny Prime with minimal articulation and ugly colours and an ugly alt mode, but since it's new I don't doubt Hasbro will make $50k off it just like Legacy Lockdown did in 4 hours
After what seemed like an eternity, my local walmart put all of the unsold Iguanus legends figures on discount for like $6 a pop. So I finally bought one. Decent robot mode but the gun/sword handle was crap and the bike mode even moreso. They really should just limit Pretender figures to being just RED type legends figures based on their pretender shell modes.
>>10956381>the comedic moments in it.That was like the entire trailer
>>10956366How do you like him? I just ordered one on pulse earlier this week. Whered you order him? I hate waiting.
>>10956249You know what this is probably bait, but I'll give you something because it is weird how the kid mascot of the franchise is a literal yellow devil. And it was intentional, too, because G1 toy Bumblebee didn't have devil horns, he just had weird pipe ears.
>>10956426To me he always looked like he was meant to be this kid
IDW is too cringy and pozzed to read all, I know there's a list of the like "good" IDW but also what's with the Cyclonus and Tailgate stuff I see? It looks like Tailgate is a bro or "little buddy" vibes and Cyclonus is some Horned Ronin?Been debating the kit for Kingdom Cyclonus and stuff or the Newage's and was curious what the story of them is if anybody knows
>>10956249pathetic bait
>>10956434>patheticit got -five- responsesthat's a high silver for trolling
>>10956430Kinda adds to what I was saying, though. Real vikings never had horns, that was just in media, and it was, what do you know, shorthand to the audience to show that they were evil.
>>10956438I mean not in battle, but they had em for ceremonial purposes, so yeah again, pagan devil worship heh
>>10956259>Worshiping the devil is rad >radHope you enjoy choking on boiling excrement for all of eternity
>>10956441sweet we medieval peasantposting
>>10956433lmao
>>10956443Renaissance "Enlightenment" lies about the medieval era peasantposting*you left out some words there anon
>>10956446>It's pozzed IDWoke slopGod damn itI may get the Newage anyways or look into the kits for official releases and head canon them as a Ronin Bodyguard for Tailgate
>>10956440No, they didn't. Not even for ceremonies. I think you're mixing it up with knights, who funnily enough did have horned or winged ceremonial helmets.
>>10956453you know people can love each other in different ways, right. I'm sure Primal loves Cheetor, he's his little buddy.
>>10956453The entire ordeal was baffling from beginning to end.
>>10956456i find it implausible druid shamans didn't have crazy horned and antlered helmets.the entire point of being the head of a kooky religion is getting to wear a big impressive hat.
>>10956446Ewwww Tailgate's basically a child wtf
>>10956438Not evil since the the play was about vikings. Just recycling the designs for native Americans.
>>10956446Honestly when Inread it I was more under the impression it was a brotherly thing and not a gay thing but then again the homos writing this shit wouldnt know the difference
>>10956466now native americans DEFINITELY wore horns.
>>10956446>>10956464Like I can buy Tailgate and Cyclonus finding solace in each other as fellow relics of a bygone ageBut Tailgate as the plucking junior cadet of the group being the object of romance never sat well with me
>>10956459LmaoThat's goodYea it just sucks cause Tailgate's a cute design and Ronin Cyclonus is such a cool idea and this looks pretty decent
>>10956466Well not necessarily evil, but it was meant to denote that they were Pagan, which might as well be the same thing back then.
>>10956462Reality is often disappointing.
>>10956494mkay well i'm gonna keep knowin what i know about fuckin norse religious garb, and even if I was wrong, my truth is better.and every other week something comes out saying I was right about something
>>10956464He's literally the five thousand year old loli meme lmao. He's so smol and cute looking but he's way older than the bots who already are millions of years old.
>>10956459>>10956480>>10956433>>10956446>>10956477Man I am very happy idw went woke and broke.
>>10956498The difference is that 5000 year old loli characters have 5000 years of life experience. Tailgate essentially slept through all that.
>>10956446Lost Light was a fucking disasterliterally never did I for one pin these 2 as more than master and student
>>10956500>Went to shit entirely>Ate shit so hard they literally had the rights taken from them>Skybound does TF Comic>Issue #1 outsells anything IDW ever put outCrazy
>>10956506Romancing your students is common, but not ethical.
>>10956420I like him. His bot mode is worth the price of admission in my eyes. I got him from Pulse as well but I'm in the UK so hes already been out for about a week as well.
>>10956528Wasn't that Airrazor and Tigatron's whole deal in Japan, where they were both dudes?
>>10956528true, i'm mainly talking about everything before their whole LL creep arc, never did I peg a romance between them so when I first saw this I just couldn'tJames is a fucking cuck
>>10956532Ah yes, the Japanese Beast Wars dub that the fandom constantly praises and likes.
>>10956534They bring back the actors from it in pretty much every later Transformers show, so something went correct.
>>10956528absolute twaddlei swear, for such proponents of authoritarian government, people sure lose their fucking minds over casual social authority. As if a teacher could coerce a student into diddly fucking squat, they get zero respect.
>>10956531i dont love the gigantic hand guard on his sword, but he's okay. does he have any other cool weapons/powers in the anime? feels odd for a villain to be pure melee.
>>10956531weird nobody has put any video reviews up for this guy yet. or at least I can't find any.
>>10956545Social authority should not exist.
>>10956553the only authority anyone should need is a father.the fatherless need the authority of the police
>>10956531He looks super cool but I don't have the funds right now, manIt's also too bad he doesn't really have any potential for alternate decos, this could look sick some spooky decepticon colors
>>10956556The police are not suitable replacement for a father.
The Skids remolds will continue until morale improves.
>>10956558nope. they're more for the rest of usor they would be, in theory. where i live, they won't come. the last time they came, everything got lit on fire.anyway this is gettin off topic. who is the best dad in Transformers? I wanna see Rattrap having a couple kids with Botanica. That would be hilarious.
>>10956548The purple blast effects are meant to represent his sword glowing & firing a beam from it. Other than that he has the 2 swords from the toy. In the show if I remember correctly his attacks were mainly melee & breath attacks from his components.
>>10956561I just want Reboost and these weirdos and I'm happy
>>10956433>>10956480Some of these kits look great I seeShame It'll be thrown off by my discolored and ruined CyclonusI'd go buy a new one but I know he'll discolor in time tooCrazy there's MOUNTAINS of Combiner War-PotP Reproduction and knock offs, But like nothing for Siege-Kingdom
>>10956572Didn't a lot of KOs have to do with the factories being in china compared to moving them to Vietnam for later lines?
>>10956566breath attacks! perfect! guy has all those heads, why not? and sword beams are majorly underrated. Okay I'm mollified. I hope I don't have to wait too long to get this guy, at this point only a slight discount is required.
>>10956548>>10956566The original toy's sword was also a missile launcher, so you could hold it in either orientation as a sword or gun. But it looks stupid so nobody ever did that. The new one can do that too I think.
>>10956563Optimus Prime is the dedicated dad character.
>>10956550https://youtu.be/a1eSU4YD4y0 not the best but it's pretty detailed.
are transmetal scavenger's drills supposed to be articulated on a drill? my copy seems stiff and I don't feel like fucking with clear plastic and flaccid drills seem weird in concept.
>>10956578that is indeed pretty stupid. but being able to wield a blade point-forward can be really useful. more of a lance.
>>10956584he really is a tops dadI also liked seeing Prime Bulkhead slowly learning to be more responsible to look after Miko>>10956586thankyo.
>>10956575And they moved but haven't got back up yet?I swear there's some Siege KO's out there
>>10956578I mean, he did kinda do it in the anime, shooting the blade like a ballistic knife...
>>10956601I know there's an osko for siege prime and skyfire, and that's about it
>>10956604Did he ever do it while holding it like a gun? I remember him shooting it while still holding it like a sword, which made it look like Silver Chariots ranged sword attack.
Well that is odd. Earlier I had a payment pending according to bank account, but once it arrived it doesn't have it listed as pending, but the money amount doesn't reflect the cost of what I bought. And since it is here it doesn't make sense as a scam. My only guess is that because they estimated arrival date was next week but it ended up here today the payment hasn't happened yet.
>>10956655that is pretty strange.you wouldn't think a hobby as simple as 'buy, own, and enjoy product' would have so many weird complications to it, but man it does.
>>10956633Good point, been a long time since I watched it
>>10956430Possible. I was just reading how most characters are ALL retreads of old ones. Like, toy companies have been reusing using the designs from Big Jim since the 60’s
>>10956705Explain further.
So who is Steve Buscemi playing? Starscream? Weird to bill him so high and we know Starscream is in now
>>10955599I’m waiting for these type of memes to made from this image.
>>10956413Alright, thank you. Sky Lynx is the only commander I have that's comparable in terms of size. I wanted a Magmatron for over 20 years, as long as there's not overcomplicated/panely bullshit in visible areas (like his back) and is posable just fine, I'll have to keep an eye out for him.
>>10956705Big Jim is kind of hilarious. i'm amazed anyone even remembers
>>10956723Presumably the plot device, but why bother.
>>10955698
>>10956572I've had mine since Kingdom first started and still looks new. Wtf did you do different?
>>10956743Stored in a cool environment, away from windows or sunlight, in a plastic tote I get into frequently No idea. Several of mine turned like this and after looking around it's just all molds that are known for color degradation and issues.6My Origns Bee turned as well and I'm mostly pissed about that because I really liked himI'm still hoping on that recolor/re mold into Cosmos some day
>>10956746They were planning to but then they made Cosmos work with less plastic sprues, so he became his own thing and they never looked back.
Oh goddamnit!
>>10956751God I hope he isn't cancelled entirely
>>10956746Do you live on an oven state? heat and humidity can fuck up your figures even if they're stored in darkness.
>>10956769If you mean a Cosmos from that Bumblebee, yes.
>>10956714tl;dr a lot of toy concepts originate in the toyline. stff like muscular, skull faced guys, swapping faces, whip gimmicks, etchttp://jimsmash.blogspot.com/2009/01/big-jim-master-of-universe.htmlMOTU especially used a lot of ideas from it
>>10956769Why would you want that kibbly knightmare with fake altmode noggin?
>>10956775Oh. This is less impressive than you made it sound.
>>10956771Honestly it's been cool for majority of the year latelyI USED TO live in Florida and I do not miss it being like 80-90 degrees at all times all year long>>10956774God yes>>10956776I liked the Mold a lot honestlyWas great
>>10956784Oh cool. If you used to live in Florida, that means you must have known TJOmega. What is he like off the camera?
>>10956794Goose you're such a colossal retarded faggot it's unrealYou're literally the only person who ever brings him up and get's told to shut the fuck up in every server, or muted/banned from channels lmao Imagine unironically watching TJ under any circumstance, even "hate watching"
>>10956705>>10956775This is literally the only thing I know about Big Jimhttps://youtu.be/WM9qeu_4Osg?si=Z0YxnRkpAW-SRAOG
>>10956746Jfc. I swear we are getting irradiated by HARRP
>>10956721Yeah he is Starscream. Crazy Buscemi went from Daytrader to Starscream.And Jon Bailey epicvoiceguy is playing Soundwave and Shockwave.
>spend the last month driving all over the city making local deals and compulsively building collection as fast as humanly possible >go broke >find listing for literally every single one of my top priorities, that I just bought, for a fraction of the the total I paid I was so proud and satisfied until I saw that listing now Im just so fucking pissed. Day after day busting my ass for the best deals possible only to miss the motherload right in front of my face. Its getting way too late in life for me to learn patience now
>>10956923how did that happen.. you didn't check the internet first? or they all put their listings up after you made your purchase.. because that's shitty luck.
>>10956934The listing that pissed me off is all one big lot. And the worst part is that its not newly listed. I somehow missed it, I think they are a couple miles outside of my normal search area or smth. Im almost hoping that if I write him the lot is alread sold bc I seriously fucked up
Oh yeah and for the curious; the lot is every ROTB Studio Series + Grimlock and Coronation Starscream for $250
>>10956937oh fuck, someone had a lot of everything you bought over the last month, for cheapthat is ass in the hole, anon. i'm sorry.you could try buying it and reselling it at a profit, but...
>>10956944>you could try buying it and reselling it at a profit, butYup, thought of that, but the lot has a whopping ONE figure I need. Its a hard one, but yeah, it’s just be reselling everything to DCA down my cost. ReeeThanks for entertaining my rant, anon.
>>10956367>>10956375
Nice
>>10956114>Are the mainline figures good now?Heavily varies as others have mentioned, though part of it comes down to what universes they're doing; HasTak have some internal biases and prioritize getting some right, while not caring much for others. It's not a hard and fast rule, all generalizations here, but insofar this's what you can expect:>Consistently top-quality figuresGalaxy Force/Cybertron, Bumblebee Movie, Micron Legend/Armada (sans the first 2: Starscream & Hot Shot)>Varies on individual level, but generally safe betsG1 and Beast Wars, JP-G1 and JP-BW, comic-exclusive designs (Marvel/IDW/etc), apparently Rescue Bots now (only 1 toy in mainline so far, so s'hard to judge, but is good)>Compromised designs in artstyleAnimated, Prime (for the original molds)>Low budget and/or poor designers, but sometimes passableSSGE (so far just the WfC game)>shit retools onlyCar Robots/RiD2000, Prime (the rest), RiD15, Cyberverse>What toys?Bayverse, Beast Machines, Super Link/Energon
Picked up Shadow Striker today. Did she really need to be like this? The shoulders are garbage, the transformation requiring parts-forming, the roof doesn't tab in firmly, tolerances are insane. They should have based her solely on her Cyberverse incarnation and retooled the Knockout mould.
MPM Brawl
>>10957138This guy looks frickin killer.Now that I think this's the last(?) 2007 character left for MPM barring '77 Bumblebee, I really hope this means it'll see a return to SS in 2026 or something. The 07 and DotM figures desperately need updates, Brawl in particular being one of them.
>>10955672For stupid kids perhaps.
>>10956289>who's the actor i'm thinking ofAndre the giant?
>>10956381>people are having meltdowns over the comedic moments in it.The terribly unfunny moments?
>>10957138Will he be undersized like the rest of the cons aside from Barricade?
>>10957138honestly, these MPMs look more like studio series commander class figures to me than anything else. same with blackout and bonecrusher
>>10957135I bought one a few weeks ago and decided to stop buying transformers because of it.
>>10957153Transformer fans love Waspinator and Skybyte, they should be enjoying the terrible unfunny comedy
>>10957135I started collecting the live action movie figures and I cant help the fact that it really soured me on the other stuff, badly. Reason being basically your post. There are so many that are so lacking in so many ways…but with virtually zero limitations. Compared to the movie figures, the G1 shit looks like baby blocks. The alt modes the robots must reach are so many times simpler than the live action stuff, they basically have no excuse for every figure not being perfect and packed with all modern articulation (none of them are)
>>10957141I remember liking SS Brawl
>>10957241Speak for yourself
>>10957264He's okay, but left me feeling disappointed. He doesn't feel as intimidating visually as the old leader n' he's really lacking in paint (esp on the face), he's got poor articulation without even any ankles, and I really disliked how his arms were just embedded into chunks of the tank; it made it look n' feel cheap to me. I wouldn't mind an update.
>>10957250A bad alt mode is one of those things I have a hard time forgiving, though I think my standards are reasonable. For the most part the moviebots have had fantastic alt modes with only a few "what the fuck is this" exceptions (AoE Galvstron comes to mind, though I love him)
>>10957279Galvatron is one figure that his Studio Series is not a vast improvement over the previous version. In fact the alt mode is a massive step backward.>pic rel its the AoE version
Am I the only one here legitimately addicted to buying transformers? I’ve purchased at least one transformer every day since March 21st. I feel like shit if Im not buying Transformers. I even sometimes wake up with some type of a hangover from obsessing over them all day the previous day.
>>10957286I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to buying to faster than I'm able to possibly fully appreciate them.I buy them, have them on my desk for a few days, then pack them away because my displays are already full
>>10957286My wife got laid off a little over a month ago so I had to put it on pause, but in March I went on a nutty spending spree due to stuff like FOMO. I bought a whole ton of shit from United, BWVS Dinobot/Tarantulas, C-01 which I honestly felt regret ordering even when I got it but eventually came around to loving it. That is stacked upon buying 2 Mafex that I felt literally nothing over when they finally arrived so I'm probably selling them. Then there's a bunch of stuff like Magmatron and Tidal Wave coming up soon. I also cannot stop feeling temptation to buy more BWVS since I got this pack and I want to buy Legacy Override to go with Metroplex and Starscream. I need to be stopped.
>>10957286The trick is to limit when you're collectomg, this is why I cut down to G2s, 86, and BWs
Also I sold all of my crypto to keep buying, and now one of the coins I sold is mooning. Coulda bought everything cheaper AND had 5 times more money than I do right now. Im seriously about to spaz out
>>10957286I was, a decade or so back. I used to get one or two a week and even went for ones I didn't really want just because I *needed* to open a new one. That's how I wound up with movie Payload.Luckily being poor and the prices skyrocketing have worked in tandem to break me of my old habit, I think I've only gotten 4-5 this year so far.
>>10957286I was, but then I ended up buying everything I was interested in that is out now, so as long as I don't check out resellers I should be in the clear for a few months.
>>10957049Who's the guy with the horse face?
>>10957324Presumably Alpha Trion
>>10955684G1 is actually good
>>10955924>>10956302I'm with this guy, that shot of bumblebee is ugly, and they all have the same face, so they're all ugly
>>10957366Only if you're able to watch it with the correct mindset and enjoy the silliness and campiness of it. You turn your brain off and enjoy the romp.But would I call it a legitimately good show? Hell no.
>>10955924They're just trying to emphasize that they're "young robots". The faces beings softer is an easy way to make people understand that immediately.
>>10957289Getting too many figures too fast absolutely destroys your ability to appreciate each one properly. Even if you have nothing else going on except to sit and play with your toys, still there is no way to take them in the same way as if you just get one at a time. They dont have your full attention. People joke about it being plastic crack but its absolutely true. Ive been carefully examining how I feel and thing before, during, and after purchase. Ive been told its better to want something than actually have it and its difficult but there is truth to this. Lusting after something truly is half the fun of it. You get a hard dopamine hit when you purchase. But that goes for any spending addiction. The base level psychology on shopping addiction is that you are in control during the purchase and likely feel like you are not in control of other aspects of your life. For me, the biggest dopeamine hit is opening the figure. Its only when the figure is really awesome that drip continues for a long time. If the figure is disappointing it causes a crash. Both outcomes make me need the next hit.
>>10957309>I didn't really want just because I *needed* to open a new oneYup. This is real. It’s actually kind of ruining my life.
>>10956349What's wrong with Ultra Magnus, I was wanting to get one
I feel like I have more enjoyment with component figures than combined combiners.
>>10956769He's cancelled entirely
>>10957394Yeah, I've swung around to liking the squads more than the guy they makeMostly just combining them together now to save shelf space
>>10957387Get it, I love mine. Fantastic transformation, better than the MP.The two things I really disliked about it on promo pics, the wide shoulders and ugly armpits, stopped being an issue when I had ot in hand. They're not ideal but everything else is so good that I just don't care.
Just spent 30 bucks on bw insecticon.
My Walmart had some stuff on clearance today and I unexpectedly came hone with Toxitron for $22. He was marked $27 on the shekf and I was happy to pay that, but then the checkout rang him as $22 "tra capsule". I haven't handled this mold before and didn't think I would but for the price I figured why not. Who is this guy btw, another evil Optimus? I feel like he'd be nice to Blot when nobody else will, they both reek of trash.
>>10957138Updated with Brawl
And updated this one with new Optimus
>>10957471Yes he's the transformers version of Captain Pollution.
>>10957471Whoop
>>10957479Who is the Dr. Blight?
>>10957486She was hot but the only femdroid I know is arcee.
>>10956769Yep thats a bottle cap and a piece of scrap paper. Nice.
>>10957486The Decepticons could use a ruthless business-oriented fembot in their ranks, as-is the entire Cybertronian economy appears to just be Swindle.
>>10957515What about Flamewar?
I'm only shopping online. I'm tired of going to walmarts and targets and them never having what I want
>>10956938Ehh that's not bad I guessSS Mirage is okayThe Arcee and Wheeljack suck, Buzzworthy Prime, Scourge and battletrap only hard to find ones and even then Prime is cheap nowThe SS86 Grimlock is good under $120 range but he's getting a reissueCoronation Starscream like $12-15 at Ollies lol
>>10957594>Coronation Starscream like $12-15 at Ollies lolNo shit? Guess I gotta hit up my local Ollies. Last time I was there I coupd only find retro BWs and a buzzworthy 4pack from that show.
>>10956950that's just the world we're in..>>10957149His hair wasn't too far off, but there's a smaller, meaner guy with darker eyes
>>10957469a little more than he's worth, but he is a FINE guy, you will love him>>10957515yeah blackarachnia was a lot of fun while she was still bad
>>10957621All the ones I saw didn't have all the legs or no weapon. Either way I look forward to rubbing that shell
>>10957515Trickdiamond moment
So how's Gamer Edition Sideswipe?
>>10957563>>10957627Sultry unethical pharma-rep Decepticon fembot when
>>10957633Airachnid?
Transformers One looks amazing
>>10957634Does that Arachnid transform? She looks great.
>>10957646Yes, plastic feels a bit brittle but still the best representation of her cartoon design you'll find.https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=_UggVpX71RU
>>10957631Might be one of the only good Gamer Editions compared to the originalI think the Optimus is nice but it desperately needs touch ups to fix issuesMegatron literally can't even bend the knee without modding itBumbleebee is a downgrade in every wayStarscream doesn't look so bad I guess but the Original is still better it feelsBarricade, LolLmao even
>>10957663Hmm, good to know. Thinking of getting him to go with my Concept Art Sunstreaker. And I can finally retire that Siege one.
Tracked down these guys after I saw >>10955037 last thread and realized they were the only ones from the Golden Disk Collection I didn't have. No idea why I skipped them before, but they're fun - if a bit small and simple.I love Road Ranger's colors, and the way his gun and shield make up his truck bed is pretty cool; what I'm not so fond of, however, is the way both his and Puffer's hands are just kinda hanging there in plain sight behind their cabs, as well as how there's a hollow gap directly under the cab/above the front tires where the arms plug in for robot mode that's basically just a straight hole right through from one side to the other (not really visible from this angle. They're still pretty neat mini-trucks, though.
>>10957663God, the old FoC Sideswipe is just terrible, it always was. This one at least has nice proportions.
>>10957668Robot modes. By the way, can anyone explain to me why Road Ranger looks like he stole a LITERAL SPARTAN LASER from the Master Chief? I mean, the handle is in the wrong place (should be further forward), but all the other details are pretty much identical right down to the little knob on the rear. How'd that fly past Bungie/343?
>>10957651>it cheats on the legsi can understand that, but why not make the copter mode have normal blades then?
>>10957669>This one at least has nice proportions.Dunno, I preffer the old big booba over the new beer gut and plank feet, the new one need a shorter chest flap to show some abs and better lower legs.
>>10957672>it cheatsNot really, you can ignore the big legs, we're still too far from cheap materials able to change their size.
>>10957670That weapon just being a Spartan Laser was my favorite part honestlyThat's like Hasbro using some Nerf guns in solid black for some Marvel Legends lol
What's his matrix do, spread toxic miasma when opened?
>>10957681That's where the pee is stored
>>10957667Yea I debated the Sunstreaker>>10957669>>10957676If they could have had a swivel in the shoulders to rotate the Wheel upside down to be more accurate, Shrunk the chest a little and move it up and have an actual midriff and better feet he'd be perfectionI'm eyeing up what kind of 3P Feet somebody comes up with and I'm still hoping some make the WfC/FoC weapons
>>10957681Maybe its his nuclear core? Like, touching it makes you melt.
>>10957681Turns other 'bots into their G2 colors, hence the rest of the Toxitrion Collection - everyone that was exposed to him changed colors and ended up under his control and now help him spread filth across Cybertron. Or something.
>>10957676Then wait for SSGE Jazz.
https://bleedingcool.com/collectibles/hasbro-debuts-takara-tomy-transformers-masterpiece-optimus-prime/>A new import has arrived for Transformers fans as the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-60 Jinrai has arrived. Get ready for some G1 nostalgia as the Leader of the Autobots is back for this new release coming in its original packaging with Japanese-language instructions.
>>10957713>Soulless GinraiSuch a shame
>>10957713This sure is a Bleedingcool article.
>>10957721they call him optimus prime multiple times in the article
>>10957713the instructions have words? i haven't seen that since the 90s.
>>10957743Exactly. The articles on that site are usually low-quality or written by people who don't know enough on the subject.
>>10957747Only in Japan.
>>10957758well i'll be damned. just looked at my PF instructions and sure enough, words. I guess i didn't notice since I just put the instrux away, i already know how to transform these guys
>>10956073I'd rather see a Paul Verhoeven transformers movie
>>10957766>Authoritarianism is bad! Please ignore how all the cool marketable guys are agents of a corrupt system.
>>10957768>>10957766A movie from the Decepticon's perspective where they win and it's presented as a good thing, despite the cons acting like cunts the whole time and generally being bad people.
>>10957769So the difference is that the Decepticons actually manage to succeed at something.
>>10957768>>10957769I don't care about starship troopers only RoboCop and violence
>>10957681Light their darkest coal.
>>10957771That'd be something to see, the last time they got a win it was against Autobot City and even then they got routed in the end.
>>10957772There are far better things that took the undead warrior thing with less moral baggage and pretending to be filmed in Detroit despite the architecture being wrong and the cast being mostly white.
>>10957768it's amazing the difficulty people have with simple concepts of right and wrongauthority with lots of power is bad because it'll do wrong. that doesn't mean the-right-that-it's-ostensibly-doing isn't still right. it's just -not doing that-
>>10957780Right means the one who can enforce their will upon others.
>>10957785no, I think you just defined wrongsee? amazing.
>>10957768He made them likeable on purpose to show how alluring being an asshole can be while still showing they weren't more than disposable meat bags for those in power.
>>10957789Only the dyke was killed off out of the important people anyway.
>>10957135Knockout? No way, they should have made her look like she does in the Cyberverse cartoon, and retool THAT into a new version of the Prime Vehicon
>>10957789that doesn't really track.the corrupt system is fixed when he kills the bad guy at the top. now he can go back to being exactly the kind of cop detroit needs. if anything, the interesting story would be after he has cleaned up all crime, NOW what does he do? Once things get back to a basic level of safety and we no longer need or want a killbot policeman.
>>10957792That one can't transform. Just a barbie wearing a car-themed outfit.
>>10957790I see you didn't learn shit in class.
>>10957797>"learning" in school
>>10957797Of course not. The school wasted too much on history instead of training soldiers to fight. With more troops they could have conquered the whole galaxy instead of struggling against their first planet.
Why didn't they just use power armor like the books? Then they wouldn't need nearly as many guys. Actually, if they were automated, wouldn't even need soldiers, just set them to kill and total bugger death.
I tried to fix the scuffiness on transmetal cheetor's cheetah back but it just comes off looking weathered. He's the only transmetal I have that has the worst chrome. I'm not sure if I wanna try buying another for almost 40 dollary doos. I want this one specifically because it's the show one.
>>10957768why are you """people""" so retarded
>>10957824it's POSSIBLE you could fix it more satisfyingly with one of those chrome gold markers, but as someone who has attempted to use those to recolor the golden disks, it's JUST as possible to ruin it (it comes off with alcohol, but you'd take more chrome with it from rubbing). You have to basically commit, charge up the paint with a lot of clicks on a surface until it's just dripping the make quick and decisive strokes knowing that going back will probably ruin it.also I think cheetor's chrome is a paler gold, wouldn't be a perfect match.
>>10957472>>10957473Could u repost the Legacy one too, onegaishiplease?
I painted the fake shoulder wheels on Gears. I'm so glad he finally got a figure after 10 long years. Now we just need a better Tracks, Hoist/Trailbreaker, and Windcharger.
>>10957856Tracks and Hoist were recent, so that might be a while.
>>10957856now THIS guy has a golem-head.
>>10957851
>>10957858Almost like he is a robot or something.
>>10957856Need Windcharger, Powerglide, and Seapray
>>10957861it's kinda surprising that doesn't show up more often. the golem was basically the original robot.
>>10957824>>10957832I tried gold chrome marker at fist and it looked awful. Then I tried a silver chrome marker with a layer of gundam marker and that looked slightly better, but still sorta patchy but nowhere as bad as my first attempt.
>>10957866I was gonna say, the other reliable way to get nice shinies is to lay a metallic layer down first, then a layer of clear paintbut very few people have clear paint, and markers are not a substitute because they fade. you had... pale yellow gundam marker? i thought that stuff was always opaque paint and quite lousy at that.
>>10957864watch go-bots for that
>>10957864Giant Robo has a similar head, but that is because Egypt.
>>10957856>>10957862I just really want a proper new Powerglide lol.You guys ever have just, that one cartoon character that you really hate, but love watching anyway? Powerglide's that to me. He just came off so fucking full of himself while being utterly average. He's like the only autobot plane at the time so I like to believe he just leveraged that, making everything he ever did seem amazing to the nonflyers but in reality being very unremarkable tasks. "And awa-aa-ay we go!" Eat my fuckin ass lmao. He's such an asshole in The Woman Who Loved Powerglide, I like to imagine that that was the first time in his life that he's ever been inconvenienced lmfao.Oh and Seaspray's a freak, I love him too.
>>10957859<3 <3
>>10957877>Gee Powerglide, how come you get to have two girlfriends?
>>10957876yeah that's a different thing, he's got that cobra hood pharaoh hat but he has the fronts clipped off..i have always said those need to come back into fashion. I'd rock one of those. Especially if the top was modified into more of a mortarboard kinda shape.
>>10957870gold gundam marker, but yeah. I should have also considered clear coating before but now it's starting to cost as much as buying another cheetor.
>>10957884right? I have invested so much in paint it's really sad.. especially since, for some reason, I've totally lost my painting mojo recently, and I have this half-painted tigatron custom sitting here for weeks, plus a box of others who need changing.
>>10957877Well there's Jetfire and the Aerialbots, but Jetfire is used oddly sparingly and the aerialbots are always together with only two of them being stand out characters. Yeah Powerglide is kinda like that "I'm kind of a big deal" character. A new figure would be nice that isn't weirdly compromised as a gun (still a good figure though, I miss glidin memes) or a giant ultra class.
>>10957893Good times.
>>10957897excellent
>>10957861
>>10957897>>>5519576
>>10957897>>5519576I so rarely have to do this that I forget how every time
Well then nevermind I'll just post this instead
>>10957897
>>10957910and awaaaaaaaaaaaay I go.
>>10957914
>>10957920i love you guys so much

>>10957933Kek
You truly think there's something novel about your complaints? Do you think your rage is unexpected? Every new form of Transformers media has been met with the accusation of being the worst of all time. The movies are no exception.The Bay films were accused of "desecrating the character designs", and every subsequent entry was alleged to be the worst one yet. Even the original movie was decryed for killing so many characters, and for looking "too Japanese".This movie will end up being somebody's favorite Transformers story. They'll reminisce about it with other fans, defend it vociferously from it's detractors, and when some new show or movie comes along that's too different for their tastes, they'll say it's the "worst ever".This is how it's always been, this is how it will always be.
>>10955906Predicting the second trailer will show a more "BEFORE .... TRANSFORMING ... WAS... COMMON... THERE WAS... OPPRESSION...." Netflix transformers show vibe.
These are customs, but it wouldn't surprise me if hasbro pulled this bs.
>>10957991I doubt they'll be much remolding for the set when it finally releases. At best only the combiner head is replaced.Not that it makes those molds worth owning, most of them were so dissapointing.
>>10957991I wish they did Overkill from ER Snapdragon. It would have at least given the mold one more use.Also wish Siege Apeface wasn't soapy shit.
>>10957998Those are meant to be the dino tapes, not dino force/dinoking members.
>>10958002I wouldn't expect new molds, the further away from the s1 and s2 cast you go, the less chances of a character getting a new mold.
>>10957668Have no connection to the gobots but I got that set as updates to Armorhide.
>>10958005based and small truck-pilled.I was able to get the botcon one super cheap a while back minus the stupid key.
>>10957856>>10957862>>10957877>>10957893God sameI unironically love RtS Windcharger and his Megaman ass Hand Cannon and the CW/TR Beachcomber, Powerglide and Seaspray were great. I'd love to see better ones thoThe Legacy/Velocitron Cosmos gave me a lot of hopeBut I kinda prefer CW Beachcomber over the Legacy one to an extent
>>10958009WHERES THE PARROT
>>10957979Why should I care about what other people think about a movie?
Its my lucky day, found a G2 Grimlock on ebay for 35 bucks
Are we still getting the core class dinobot?
>Mess with MP-10 Prime>Chrome fading on a Gas Tank >Noticeably creaking as he Transforms>Chest Grill in Robot mode chipped >Finger has hairlines in the joint>Front Cab part snaps off>Color faded in some spots on himHe's seen better daysHad him since 2010
>>10958012holy hell, nice.>>10958014am I the only one with little if any desire for that
>>10958015the passage of time, man..when I got some of my power rangers zords out and saw how they'd yellowed, it felt weiird..but not as weird as the fact that one of them had batteries inside and still fucking worked. the battery was completely exploded yet somehow still providing a fraction of the requisite electricity, so the sound came out turbo slowed.
>>10957991I want theseTurn Slag into that blue rhino from the movie comics, Sludge into that evil clone of the dino-cassettes, Swoop into Wingthing
>>10958019Yea just sucksI almost wish I had MP Magnus or Rodimus so when the time comes and this Prime is falling apart he can pass his Matrix on
>>10958017Mostly curious on how it will turn out. I really wish core class dealt more with small transformers in general, rather than doing small versions of bigger characters. Stuff like Tasmanian Kid is exactly what I want, I would love if they did more BW Basics this way.
>>10958027i'm starting to understand why adults traditionally didn't bother with toys.time moves so quickly for me now, that they seem to decay way too quickly. I have to imagine that was similar even as far back as when toys were made of wood and tin.Plus life has kept me so busy I can barely appreciate my stuff and a lot of it has spent most of its life boxed up>>10958031fair. I am curious, would it be like the original toy?
>>10958033Not him, but Dinobot was extremely cheaty in the transformation department in the show, so I'm very much looking forward to how they do a Core version of him as well.
>>10958034indeed. though it is still the same transformation as the toy, it's more that it cheats to fix the raptor anatomy
I have a proposal: repurpose armada airazor as Filch, she has a decepticon logo too.
>>10958033That's mostly an issue with more complex toys and pins. I have many older figures. They aren't in perfect shape, but being careful and some light application of shock oil will go a long way into preserving them. The bigges5 problem with toys is mostly anything pinned, since plastic shrinking will inevitably cause that area to develop stress marks. It really becomes a huge issue on more complex toys since they tend to make many thin pieces use pins, making it very easy for the whole part to break off. Everything from MP Megatron 2.0 and onward will likely start crumbling once the plastic starts weakening.
>>10958033This is definitely an issue with newer toys than older toys. If you get your hands on any unicron trilogy figure from a used lot, unless the previous owner was a little kid that intentionally broke his shit, they're still rock solid to this day. Sometime in the mid 2010's, transformers quality just nosedives. The quality of the plastic they use is worse, they don't chrome coat the pins before setting them in hinges, so they rust a lot faster, they rarely have paint aps anymore, if they do, the rub off from handling.
>>10958015I only have MP10V, but it's still one hell of a toy even with its flaws. None of the successor options (at any scale) really hold a candle to it for my tastes. 3P stuff comes with the usual 3P caveats, and both MP44 and the mainline Optimus Primes released since MP10 are underwhelming to me at best.
>>10957851>>10957859Updated version, which means a new leak or reveal is imminent to invalidate it again. You're welcome.
>>10958044Wrong colors, wrong kind of bird, doesn't even have a vaguely similar shape in either form, and she's got organic bits mixed in that Filch doesn't have. This is like suggesting using Beachcomber as a stand-in for Ironhide because they're both four-wheeled vehicles - there is literally nothing in common between the two.
>>10958090True, but that mold looks better than the official filch.
>>10958098Looks better...how? Don't get me wrong, I think they went with a horrible choice for a mold with the official one, but at least it resembles her - and again, that Airazor doesn't look even remotely like the character in any way, so I don't see how you could think it looks 'better'. SHe'd need extensive retooling to get her into an acceptable state, but that's not what was stated in the original post - they want to just 'repurpose' her as Filch, meaning use her as-is, which just doesn't work.
>>10958102>at least it resembles herNote I didn't say its a better representation of the character, I said it looks better just because the transmetal Airazor mold already looks better than legacy Airazor. The awful headsculpt on the filch retool doesn't help.
>>10958105>Note I didn't say its a better representation of the character, I said it looks better just because the transmetal Airazor mold already looks better than legacy AirazorBut then the comment isn't really relevant - the Transmetal Airazor looks better than the Kingdom Airazor, sure, but that doesn't correlate to it being a better looking mold for Filch. I can say that Earthrise OP is a better looking mold than Siege OP, but that in no way means that Earthrise Prime would be a better looking mold to use for Bumblebee - they're entirely different on all levels, which is the case here with Airazor and Filch.
>>10958110Its a decepticon fembot with a dark bird altmode, thats close enough for that anon, repurposing standards can vary a lot depensing the collector.
>>10958122Generally,, when repurposing one character for another, you try to pick something that's visually similar to who you're trying to represent. There's nothing similar here beyond 'bird', but just as there's many, many, MANY different kinds of cars and car-formers out there, there are many different birds and bird-formers, and anon wants to substitute a Jeep for a Corvette because they both have wheels.
>>10957832>You have to basically commit, charge up the paint with a lot of clicks on a surface until it's just drippingReally bad advice. >be me, buy expensive TF on ebay>wait >it arrives>paint blemish>touch it>the paint completely wipes off the entire surface>wtf>message seller “hey did you try repainting this”>”no.”>lie. >seller refuses a partial refund “id rather have it back”>sit on it a couple days, decide to fix the paint job >99% done, it looks great >open ebay, go to cancel return, finger is literally on the button to close the return>realized I touched my paintjob and put a microscopic blemish in it >quick touch up no problemo>paint pen explodes with paint, covers like 30% of the figure Fucking shit. I am so fucking pissed off right now
>>10958133that sucks dude i'm sorry. I have had them overflow before, but it seems to be kind of random. that's why I said "on a surface" like you do it there first, until some oozes out, then you wipe that onto the figure. I've never successfully gotten the paint to flow smoothly and continuously, you have to basically just keep stopping and starting the flow again. Then again I didn't get the super high quality ones, I got Pen-Touch brand.
>>10958130As I said different standards, the legacy toy isn't close enough for me, its missing the dark blue chest and waist armor and colors, has no orange accents, arms and wings are wrong, and man that fucking headsculpt with no neck, I give you the bird headsculpt tho, while undersized thats the only thing they got right.
>>10958136The way you worded “dripping wet” part is the bad advice bc thats always gonna cause a mess. The paint you put on the surface pulls more paint out of the nib.Im not blaming you at all in my particular case. These paint pens have a mind of their own sometimes. It just gushed out of nowhere. I mostly fixed it anyway. Im not as mad anymore
New leakThought they go back to plastic packaging?
>>10958165
>>10958166
>>10958165>>10958166>>10958170It ALMOST looks like the mouthpiece can open
>>10958165>>10958166>>10958170The Beige-grey looks a LOT better here than in the stock photos, I don't know if those just had weird lighting or if they changed the colors or what. and it's pretty neat he's got a matrix chamber at Deluxe scale, and it's not just another Earthrise Matrix it looks like it's a slightly different mold
>>10958165I still think it could use some paint but it looks pretty good overall.
>>10958138Thing is, you're basing your 'close enough' on her robot mode...which may as well not be canon. She never transforms on the show; all you ever see is her beast mode, and that's the mode she's going to be displayed in by anyone who's familiar with the character - that artwork only showed up on a small figure of her after the fact.
>>10958173It sadly doesn't. A review was posted it shows off the head well enough. Bizarrely, the booster/smokestacks are 4mm and the gun section on the grill tabs on. No idea I'd it can transform with it on (it was only shown being attached after transforming to vehicle) and it doesn't seem like there's space to store it when in robot mode. Its weird.
>>10958244*5mmAnd correction, it does seem like the guns on the grill can be left on going by the render of the figure, sorry for the confusion.
>>10957676Why did you use the concept art for your comparison? Here's a render I just made using the model from FOC.
>>10957676>>10958252Again but at a 45% rotation. The new one is just better, only thing the first figure has going for it is the vehicle mode and the cool gun, that's it.
>>10958078Please never stop drawing your adorable thumbnails, love the one you did for the three GoBots here lol. Genuinely the main reason I look forward to leaked listings is because I get to see your little drawings, lmao. Bless ya
>>10958255(a bit saddened you don't do them for the SS checklist, but I get how the unanimously more detailed designs would be hard to fit into a small lowres square, lol)
>>10958162I could not be less excited for a leak
>>10958162>>10958258How is it a leak when it was posted by Hasbro China?
>>10957681I think it's supposed to be the Matrix of Malice. Although Toxitron never used it.

I just don't care for Autobot toys. Dunno why, but most of them turning into cars or some kind of utilitarian vehicle sucks. Give me a fuckoff tank and combination jet any day over some Aston Martin knockoff named Pitstop.
>>10958338I liked when the divide between the factions was more obvious, with armed vehicles being solidly on the Decepticon side and utilitarian civilian vehicles being Autobots.
>>10958280>>10958282Here’s a YouTube mirror:https://youtu.be/ChBBsiQzKo0?feature=sharedHonestly it looks like a really nice toy to me, it just comes down to whether you like the aesthetic. Looking forward to the eventual “V2” release years down the road that addresses the imperfections (swappable head/face, better articulation at the shoulders/elbows/knees, cleaner back).Though honestly, 3Ps are gonna knock it out of the park with TF:One—they somehow perfected the engineering language for Bayformers, and these designs are comparably much less mind-bending.
>>10957634I don't want to buy the four pack just to take the bronze spider legs for Blackarachnia, but I'm gonna have to aren't I?
>>10958340Armada/ML+Animated+BayTrilogy bros... how does it feel being the best TF fans?
>>10958327
>>10958354The aesthetic on this thing really reminds me of older 3P stuff, like FP and Maketoys, I dig it. And being a Deluxe makes it a lot more palatable as a quick impulse buy, very nice. I wonder how he scales with other figs, cause here he seems like a pretty big Deluxe? My only real problem is the exposed hands in vehicle modeI hope the other SS TFONE figures are at least this good. Not too interested in Megs or Bee's designs, but those Starscream and Dreadwing(?) designs looked pretty sweet. And I know I saw Airachnid in the trailer, and I'm willing to forgive any and all MCU humor if the film if it finally gives us a good (official) Airachnid figure
>>10958354I would have gone for it if they used a dark grey instead of that yellowish color. Not a fan of the axe storage either.
>>10958235You see her robot mode in the show.
>>10958373It is more cost-efficient to get the Japanese two-pack Blackarachnia if you want a Blackarachnia with non-black spider legs and don't care about the other things.
>>10958398From the back and out of focus.
>>10958252>>10957663God damn that's actually by far the closest to game model and best GE so far The only issue is the feet
>>10958143>The paint you put on the surface pulls more paint out of the nib.never has in my experience. mine were probably shite.at least i was right about the way you have to commit, right. you go back over a line, you ruin it
>order neck adapter to put new inferno's head on old inferno's body>the file comes with both 'loose' and 'tight' variants. okay sure.>give them to craftcloud, just fuck me print both>package arrives>four of them in there>one perfect, two loose, one too tight to workso anyway I have the two loose ones left, if anyone wants to skip the 3d printing jazz, you can have them for the cost of shipping

Bought a G2 Grimlock on ebay for 35 bucks just for the seller to tell me today there was an inventory mixup. Dude probably wanted a better sale.

One of the walmarts in my area got Sunstreakers and SideswipesAnd a bunch of headless Mohawks
>>10955599my gripe was the tone. why it it all happy dumb jokes? if it started with that then did more serious stuff after, okay, thats pretty standard I guess. but its all the way through here.anyone who hasnt lived under a rock since 1984 knows op and megs are the opposing leaders of a devastating civil war, so this movie HAS to end with them becoming bitter rivals. that will only work if it gives itself a little seriousness. not saying it wont be in the movie (it damn well better), but, shit man, at least give us a taste in the trailer. if I didnt know better Id think this is a comedy that will have nothing intense, but I know it has, thats how it goes. do they not know how to make a trailer?>inb4 its for kidsmofos will tell me kids cant handle any degree of seriousness or tragedy in their movies.
>>10958327MPM Murderprime is an amazing figure if you buy one of the bootleg longs that has actual better quality control than the official ones.
>>10958632Even the movies that became popular recently had shitty trailers. Is the general state of existence for those.
>>10958398From behind, out of focus, and for literal one second; the only reason that shot even existed was so the animators couldn't complain about the model they made for her going to waste.The point of her character is that she genuinely believes she's a real bird - she builds herself a nest even though Cybertronians don't lay eggs, she steals shiny things because she's attracted to them like real corvids and lines said nest with junk - regardless of it's actual worth. Her vocabulary consists almost entirely of squawks with simple words (namely, "Mine!", "Shiny!", and "Not shiny!") peppered in, and she's pretty much the definition of 'bird brained'. She stays in bird mode even when attacked and outnumbered, and the Autobots' prisoner file for her only shows her bird mode. NO ONE who knows the character cares what the new toy's robot mode looks like, because they won't be displaying her in it.
>>10958631>That crippled Legarcee
>Order original estimate April 1 >Changed to 18>Changed to 22>Changed to 20>Changed to 23This feels like it changes a lot in minor ways
>>10958631For God's sake bring back the plastic windows, end this nightmare. Also I need that Ratchet, I haven't seen one in person yet.
>>10958665Yeah she's been hanging there like that for a year now probably
>>10958632After decades of kids being told 'pff you can't handle anything' and then going 'yes i can' then growing up into adults who say 'kids can't handle anything', i think we've finally hit a point where it's true. the few kids around today are massively mentally stunted.
>>10958692Children are not the ones that make trailers.
>>10958699no, i was just saying offhand, after so many years of that idea being untrue, it is currently truethat doesn't make it okay of course.
>>10958705Or it could be that since you are no longer a child, you are an adult that thinks kids can't handle anything.
>>10958557>Replies a day later and name dropsOh yea you're whoever he thinks and you're a faggot
>>10958708... i realize that makes sense mathematically, but no. kids have changed. my perception of them hasn't changed. I watch old recordings of kids, and I perceive them being able to handle things fine. plus I was a kid, and I handled things fine. That's a recorded fact, even if my memory was somehow damaged.

The Transformers One director is doing a huge flurry of interviews that feel like damage control after that trailer
>>10958737Just these are released because that is where they are in the media cycle. It wouldn't make sense to release an interview talking about how the trailer is shit a month before the trailer comes out.
My Silverbolt finally got here - he's the Takara version (no real difference from the Hasbro version these days, it seems). Now that I have him in-hand, I can saw a few things about him:One, all the love clearly went into his robot mode. He's a great representation of his show model, even if the feet could have used a bit of work (I hate the loss of the ability to make him grip things with those talons in either mode) and the wings have those hollow sections.Two: I am baffled by the current trend of having beast mode feet peg into place on these guys lately - both his front AND back legs are supposed to be tabbed in for beast mode, and it annoys me; also, the little pegs on his robot shoulders/beast mode hind legs are useless - they're supposed to lock his robot arms in place, but they aren't really needed and I accidentally snapped one clean off as soon as he came out of the box (to no ill effect. It's not even noticeable). Someone just really seems to have a fetish for tabs or something.Three: I can now see that the issue with his backside isn't actually the length of his tail - it's the length of his torso. Leaving his shoulder segments untransformed like in pic related actually gives him normal looking proportions and a normal-length tail. However...
>>10958738Sure but when all your interviews are shit like "yeah the trailer doesn't really represent the movie well" or "the trailer doesn't show this yet but it's coming" you're not really putting your best foot forward are you?We've heard nothing about this movie until now and it's all apologies
>>10958743...it's not really a feasible thing to do, since it gives him an ass like a dumptruck and leaves his robot head completely exposed from behind. There is most definitely a better way they could have gone about making this transformation - maybe have the two chest halves slide inward towards his robot head; instead they chose to have them unfold upwards accordion-style, stretchign out his torso way past where it should be and making his tail look shorter than it actually is. The design decisions and compromises we've seen since Legacy (and the whole WFC line in general) started really have been baffling.
>>10958745Do you really think that trailer could have reasonably been called putting your best foot forward? Or that multiple interviews were taken in the span between the trailer release and the same day?
>>10958252>>10958254New one still has a bear gut, you're confirming he should have a shorter chest armor showing more abs and that his lower legs suck.
what am I in for
>>10958754A multipack of most the Decepticons in the movie except Brawl and Frenzy.
>>10958743sounds like one could just saw off those limb restriction pegs. i might do that.also yeah, they basically extended his wolf body out to a better length, but neglected to take the tail with>>10958746naw the torso needs to be that long. the tail just needed to extend out. the original had way too short a torso.
>>10958754a cute tiny scorponok that i want
>>10958754Marvels of engineering. And they make Bayformers designs look good.
>>10955762>>10956334basedjut finished watching legend of the microns myself
>>10958754They couldn’t give Blackout the Grindor hands?
On the one hand, the coloring is impeccable and the pricing is great. On the other those nasty black details are unnecessary and do not work as shading in any angle.
>>10958754a barricade who was cucked by BLM
>>10958768I would love to see toon-shaded action figures die a massive deathpanel lining, sure. gradiented stuff where it's necessary, of course. stuff like SuperShredder's muscles, that's just how that is. But none of this "I am trying to make this look like a cel from exactly one angle"
>>10958769So they appealed to people who consider police to be evil by removing a line about a police officer being evil?
>>10958769He's just saying what the pigs are thinking.
>>10958773well sure, now. but you gave them the idea first.
>>10958768>>10958771You think acetone will remove it like on those WfC shit-covered Optimus and Megs figures?
>>10958746>There is most definitely a better way they could have gone about making this transformationYes, leaving it as it was in the original toy. The only improvement needed was adding a swivel so the back/wings can be positioned like in the show. You lose the waist joint but it's a price I'm willing to pay in this case after seeing how much the beast mode is compromised.
>>10955912I want Kingdom Dinobot
>>10958778acetone dissolves plastic, i'd try alcohol first.>>10958779the original toy was pretty awkward, i actually wanted them to change more. At the very least, we no longer have hollow shoulder-fronts.but you do have a point that if the back part could hinge down, that would fix MOST of the original toy's issues.
>>10958780https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-bwvs-06-dinobot-vs-predacon-tarantulas-2-pack
>>10958783honestly there is zero reason not to get this. both of them are among the best toys in the line, despite dinobot having a few flaws that I think were preventable (robot head takes up so much space in the tail that both tail weapons are too short, dino feet could easily have had more slack in their hinges so they could be positioned more like real dino feet (and his double thumbs could fold in to hide) and dino arms are too flat, flatter than they had to be to fold up)
>>10958786>Hasbro engineers reading this:
>>10958257I was going to skip this one. But apparently he and Grimlock are part of a 40 piece 40th anniversary collectionAND their boxes have connecting artwork and I'm an idiot sucker for that stuff
>>10958235Again, everyone has different standards, if you're ok buying a mediocre retool that isn't even the right size, sure go for it, but that isn't a good looking Filch for me.
>>10958389If you're thinking of the blue winged guy, I think it's supposed to be Sentinel ?

>>10955480Someone will take his head off in the supermarket.
>>10958842back from your vacation and ready to jump right at image limit, I see.
>>10958826Filch is one I wonder if she also aggressively mass-shifts as a robot, or if she is actually tall.
>>10958826>Again, everyone has different standards, if you're ok buying a mediocre retool that isn't even the right size, sure go for it, but that isn't a good looking Filch for me.I mean, I did say they made a horrible choice for the mold they retooled - they should have retooled Airazor's RotB mainline toy instead. But again - repurposing a toy that looks nothing like the character you're trying to represent is just stupid. You can't use Hound as a stand-in for Ratchet, as they have nothing in common at all. You can't use Thrust as a stand-in for Armada Starscream, because again - nothing in common. So why use the Armada TM Airazor, which only has the size going for it, to represent a character she doesn't even remotely resemble?
>>10958865During the fraction-of-a-second we see her transform, she doesn't appear to get any bigger - so she's a really, really tall fembot. Not that we'll ever see her in robot mode next to other characters - she's perfectly content to just be a bird.
>>10958871>So why use the Armada TM Airazor,You dense mother... anon, different standards, TM airazor is good enough for that anon, not for you or me, but for that anon, then the legacy retool is good enough for you but not for me, different standards.
>>10958826>moving goalpostsYou wanted to use Airazor as a stand in because you thought the robot mode of the official one looked shitty. After finding out that she never canonically uses the robot mode and it's only the bird mode that really counts, you're now changing your argument to 'the new one is the wrong size!' and 'uh, I have different standards!'.>>10958877>different standardsYou must have abysmally low standards that you can just replace a character with whatever random one you have lying around and be content with it. I don't own Deathsaurus, so maybe I should just lower my standards to your level and use my SS86 Grimlock as a stand-in for him? Seems legit enough, right?
>>10958885>moving goalpostsNever said that, I said it was a better good looking toy and you agreed.Just take the lose and move to next thread.
>>10958885Well originally they were going to make him from 86Grimlock before they realized they could use HasLab, you it isn't wrong.
>>10958887>you agreed.I agreed that TM Airazor is a better looking Airazor than Kingdom Airazor. I never agreed that TM Airazor is a better looking Filch. Because she isn't.>Just take the lose and move to next thread.I didn't lose - you did. And there's no reason to move to another thread when this one's still on Page 5.>>10958888But would he have made a good Deathsaurus? The universal sentiment is 'no', and even Hasbro thought otherwise, hence the Haslab.
>>10958752And yet it's still better than the old figure.
>>10958783>>10958780>>10958786I got this 2 pack this past week and while Dinobot has a few chips here and there which are easily fixable for a couple bucks, they are a great pack. I had Tarantulas already but his joints are all loose and he can fall over if you breathe on him wrong. I know the knees are the wrong color on the premium, but it's nice breaking up the colors. Also the joints are basically the perfect tolerance and the ball joints have been "textured" so that they provide more friction on this version.They honestly make me want to go out and get every BWVS release. This is how they should have been painted.
