Give me a female Magna convoy you cowards
>>10970147Once you have an Optimus Prime girl, probably the 4th color version after black and white.
I would KILL for a 3P Yellow Splendid Convoy, just sayin'.I'd even take a yellow colourway of Bananaforce's Prime, I'm that starved for a yellow Prime.
>>10970194>I would KILL for a 3P Yellow Splendid Convoy, just sayin'.Killing is easy so that doesn't mean anything, meanwhile curing cancer is hard, just sayin'
>>10970257Well you have to offer to do something you know you can do. Anon probably doesn't know if he can cure cancer.
>>10970194If DNA design would just modify their kit to be RID Optimus inspired and then it's up to us to either paint it yellow or some KO Legacy Animated Optimus to be yellow (with the kit?) and we'll have her, finally.
>>10970271>r some KO Legacy Animated OptimusAnimated doesn't get KOs unless someone leaks the CAD.
>>10970272Legacy Animated.
>>10970310That's what I was implying. If anything OG Animated toys are more likely to get KOs reissued because they were made in China and already KOed back then which means the CADs are already floating out there in the black market.
I started watching Future GPX Cyber Formula and only just now realized Drift was the Asurada and kind of need it. But Im kind of a newfag to waterslide decals and 3p transformers. Are the decals easy to fuck up and is the transformation as bad as people in the showz comments say? (Im assuming some are even more retarded than me because of hamhands and taking 2 days to Transform.)
>>10970271Damn, this is awesome.
>>10970340Those are waterslides, they require tools and consumables but the advantage is that you technically have infinite time to adjust the decals as long as you keep them wet. But before that, have you checked with the seller if they actually have those decals? It's a bonus for the first batch added at the very last minute.
>>10970312Nobody likes animated, and legacy is better than the og TFA toys.
10970373moshi moshi baito desu
>>10970382Not sure if it's bait or them being too retarded to understand that KOs of mainline toys are no longer guaranteed.
>>10970356>It's a bonus for the first batch added at the very last minute.Fuck thank youSeems like a restock/reissus so im screwed. I wish it was just another version with pre applied decals.
>>10970107>shattered ass
If anyone here gaf since I don't remember people posting this, KFC's Ginrai Cab is planned to ship out in October finally.
Some recent purchases.

>>10970560
>>10970560>>10970562I hate Bay trash so much but that is a nice looking figure
>>10970567Bayverse is life. Its not cool to hate on his great movies & designs anymore.
>>10970560>>10970877Based, Silverbros keep winning.
>>10970877if anything the "it's popular so its good and if you hate it you're an icky nerd" sheen has worn off so now people are actually allowed to hate them for being what they are - absolute travesties of cinema featuring the worst mecha designs of any franchise in history.
>>10970935People have been saying that shit since day one. What you’re saying is almost suggesting a cycle of sorts.
>>10970935The faces from the new film are worse.
>>10970969The fuck is wrong with you, this is your precious G1 Comic and pre-show face with more of a metallic look.Unless you're just that mad about them not having rocks for eyes anymore? They haven't done rocks for eyes since 2006.
>>10970976Anon this new slop looks absolutely NOTHING like what we should get or G1FUCK G1 accurate but you're fucking retarded if you think One actually looks good
>>10970976>tumblrThat's the audience. Thank you for making my argument.
>>10970935People have been shitting on beyverse designs for almost two decades now nigger what are you talking about
>>10970976Honestly I think it’s too emotive to be G1.I saw a simple edit where Megs eyes were edited to being his typical pure G1 red and it looked better.
>>10970976Name ONE character with a rounded chin in the G1 cartoon
>>10970976Nothing wrong with this face except the eyes being Bay likeIf they had eyes like G1 it would look good
>>10970993They always had eyes like that, it just wasn't visible normally because of simplification for animation.
>>10970976>rocks for eyesWhat does this mean? I'm genuinely puzzled.
>>10970996>>10970877
>>10970995Yeah noTell me what your toys eyes are like
>>10971001Yellow stickers.
>>10970991
>>10970987I also prefer solid eyes aesthetically, but you have to admit they're pretty limiting. A lot of G1 designs basically CAN'T really emote, because they have no pupils and their eyes line up with their "helmets." This leaves you so little to play with, I can see why they would want to change the eyes to make them less wooden characters. Any animator worth their salt would see that weakness immediately and want to change it up. Eyes are crucial for communicating complex emotions, which Transformers clearly have.
>>10971007Good point. They took away Optimus's mouthplace as early as Primal in Beast Wars so he could emote more.
>>10970991Wheeljack.
>>10970991Ironhide.
>>10971007Yeah that's true, even Bayverse adds pupils to the designs.
>>10971018Earthspark has both and it worksNo need for black Sclera
>>10970996Gee, what could I mean.
>>10971018Bruh, bay had NOTHING but pupils for their optics, what even is the point of eyelids made of wire when closing or blinking them does nothing to protect the optic?
>>10971027You need to unironically go outside, touch some grass, and look at some rocks.
>>10970987THIS is your precious Megatron from the new movie. The D-16 and Orion Pax designs are meant to be their "hot shot/hotrod/post bay Bumblebee" style era, of being TEENAGERS.
>>10971035Still bad. Looks like fujo fanart or cosplay.
>>10971006Not rounded>>10971016Nigga HAS no chin>>10971017DEFINITELY not rounded
>>10971031These, but glowing are what the eyes used to look like before 2007 permanently changed them to have more detail.
>>10971039Are you blind? What is that U shape then, a square?
>>10971031Gems are rocks anon
>>10971038You just don't like transformers being about characters instead of Robot Guro Fascist propaganda any more.
>>10971042Please, stop saying dumbass things that don't make sense. The word you're looking for is GLASS, anon. As in optical LENSES.
>>10971055They NEVER looked like glass lenses.
>>10971057YOU POSTED THESE YOU MOTHER FUCKING GIGA NIGGER>>10971027WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK REFLECTIVE SMOOTH SURFACES THAT THINGS SEE OUT OF ARE SUPPOSED TO EVOKE IN ANIMATION DOUBLE NIGGER
>>10971060They're SUPPOSED TO BE GLASS, but they look LIKE GEMSTONES because they're is NOTHING behind the lens but color
>>10971064I hope your mother dies while you sleep, anon.
You people are way too retarded for your own good.I wish Dr Wu Chatter wasn't sold out literally everywhere, I have Sword Dancer and am definitely looking forward to the other two coming.
>>10971060>>10971064You morons are arguing two objects that have the same properties and elements, lmao stfu
>>10971027Not sure if it was OX or the 86 movie, but I remember seeing TF art that had tons of super angular black lines and white highlights inside the eye to make it look crystally. Looked super cool.
>>10971043Which one?None of those have a U Shape and the closest I can think is Ironhide who doesn't have a rounded chin
>>10971071Bitch is already dead, and bastard of a father wouldn't give a shit about me if I kicked it so that joke lands flatter than the optics of transformers before 2007.You want lens eyes? This is the minimum for a lens eye to look like a lens and not a gemstone.
>>10971088That Ironhide, in that image, has a rounded chin. I don't give a shit what toys from later looked like, he had a round chin in the show.
>>10971093You can't even see the fucking chin clearly. Christ G1Drones are literally braindead. Cease speaking
>>10971088Wow who would have guessed a toy looks nothing like Sunbow animation.
>>10971094>Image has rounded chin>Blames rounded chin as being unclear because of image quality of a shittily animated advertisement made to program kids into consumer addicts and supporters of corporate profit driven facism for not having consistency despite show notably having a fuckton of errors and animation inconsistencies, so strong that the replacement main character nobody liked never transformed the same way twice.
>>10971095There are multiple that do thoughMS and both FT and XTB all look toon and way better than MP
>>10971027Beast Wars has glowing parts inside their eyes that move to show where they are looking. It is very apparent on some like Megatron, Rhinox, and Dinobot.
>>10971073Wu does reruns semi-consistently
>>10970966>>10970982And they were right but they got the "UGH whiny fanboys why do you care it's just a popcorn movie" treatment, but now even normies are sick to death of Bay's awful movies to the point that the entire brand is poisoned.
>>10971007That's where pantomime comes in.
Best eyes are Big Convoys gold chrome eyes
>>10971152Yeah sure.
>>10970147Japan is big on genderism yeah?
>>10970340Badass.Hey how new is this Bumblebee variant, anyone? I just happened to ownder if there was a fig designed after BUmblebee's original anime appearance. Need.
MPM Sideways incoming from a company called TianYi Design Studio
>>10971359
>>10971359>>10971361>>10971368More delicious silver. They better make a repaint with clear red windows though.
>>10971006JETTISON SOME WEIGHT
>>10970995That blown out eye was some sickening shit back in the day _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_
>>10970969Yeah those designs in the new one are seriously weak
>>10971352Like 2021?I thinkOrigins bee but he apparently is prone to mass discoloring sometimes
> Behold this figure, a mighty creation, forged with density and power! Its calves and thighs bear the weight of die-cast strength, a testament to its formidable build.> The paint, immaculate in its application, adorns this miniature titan with regal splendour. Though the plastic may falter in some areas, its velvet touch grants a sensation of supremacy.> As a figure of Legends, he stands a colossus! His alt-mode stretches into the towering form of a T-rex, while his robot mode, though stout, exudes dominance, yes.> Every joint, every pin, binds with a strength that defies mere mortals! > Yet, a shadow looms over this marvel. The shackles of limited articulation restrain his potential.> The arms, a source of vexation in their stubbornness. And in alt-mode, the neck, bereft of swivel or turn, imposes rigidity upon his majestic poses, a cruel irony indeed.
>>10971469tldr
>>10971469kingdom megatron really spoiled me on dino mode articulation
>>10971469He pretty coolGot the monkey too, shame about the alt modes being limitedAnd I also think his thighs could’ve had a bit more cover for alt mode

>>10972325So which one does blue Bumblee get?
>>10971352Maas Toys Skiff is based on War Within but is similar. I personally prefer the gold version, definitely my headcanon for Bee as a Prime. Both can still be found fairly inexpensively.
>>10971007Japan has been emoting with super fucking robots with no eyes for like 50 goddammit years now, this is horse shit.
>>10972384Because they can do a cut-in of the human pilot.
>>10972391[citation needed]
Headsculpt looks a little wonky.
Bronto neck compacts and cleans up. Don't think its worth sacrificing articulation at such a small scale.
>>10972505>>10972507>>10972511It looks so average compared to the newage one
>>10972525I prefer it over Newage, not by much, but I already own the Newage so the MS is whatever for me.I only want their Grimlock in a painted scheme so I can have a Devastation Team.
>>10972415Citation: 50 years of giant robot anime woth pilots
>>10972539The fact that it has no neck or tail articulation is what kills it for meAlso the other thing is how dull the grey is

>>10972732At least it's not a fucking G1 Devastator for the 11th fucking time, but even then we have like two non-g1 Devastators pending I think, barring this one here.
>>10972732What's that?Number 6 or 7
>>10972746chigau this one has prowl in it
>>10972748so?The last one had Grimlock, it's still Devastator
>>10972732Not touching this after their Superion, broken bits everywhere. Once his second arm comes in I won't be touching him again either.
Looks like they went and improved everythingshocking
>>10972732So fucking cool. Devastator is really out of left field, was really expecting Menasor or even Bruticus first. The forearms look like they partsform and the feet are built in which is the Inverse of Superion. Was never a fan of screaming Devy faces but maybe it'll look better in color. And on that note what do you think the colors will be? Chrome green and purple? Bayverse/Diaclone individual colors? Will it be weathered for the realism angle or clean to show off the metallic parts?
>>10972732I might be interested in picking up Prowl if it’s sold separately
>>10971007>Any animator worth their salt would see that weakness immediately and want to change it up.CalArts moment.
>>1097097610000 hrs in paint
Another one. It's labor day I suppose.https://weibo.com/7329256619/Och7nFKeJ
>>10970976an opening like that would collect dust and debris to no end. a logical functional design would put a lens covering the whole socket in front of the eyeball assembly just like back in >>10970995it's fundamentally disjointed, and the excuse that it's to make the robots more emotive reveals how poorly the character designers understand the source material
>>10972850>logical functional design>Transformersanon, what?
>>10972850There is one, it is just translucent.
>>10972836Looks dull and barely capable of an expression.
>>10972850It's not open, they have clearer lenses than they used to show them with, look at the Megatron pic, D-16 has amber lighting which makes it look even clearer than Orion or their later forms.
>>10973094But enough about you.
>>10972216>>10972702>>10972705I'm hoping for a Cliffjumper or god big dream but GlyphWhich we'll never get>>10972846This is 01 Studio as in those who made Cell? The Unicron?Hopeful. He looks great
>>10972705Maybe one day people will actually start giving goldbug a unique mold... one day...
Slow the fuck down MS.
>>10973447If they’re coming out this fast, then I’m really wondering what they have in store for later this year.This shit is going to finish before the NA set at this rate.
>>10972836Now flatten the contours of the face and sharpen the features and you'll achieve perfection.
>>10974292Nah, the slightly rounded features make him look young and innocent
>>10974300Don't care. I only want characters to look cool for toys.
>>10974333
>>10974333>>10974336>stylize the fuck out of 5/6 of the character>respect the excavatorDo chinks really?
>>10974368It could just be that prototype isn’t finished
>>10974386Maybe, but what was announced that made them rush it? Was a SS86 devastator leaked?
>>10974304You must be hated Transformers Animated
>>10972217smaller
>>10974392The 7 other bots and competitors also releasing devastator s
>>10974397Shit, I completely forgot that MMC and Fanstoys were doing devastators. I guess it won't really make me care until I see some physical testshots of the full gestalt.
>>10974395Must have*
>>10974401And XTBAnd that one with GrimlockAnd more than likely hasbro soonThere’s also the vectors labs one but that is a meme
>>10974404>one with GrimlockHuh
>>10974412https://weibo.com/6539026191/Nm9svbLjN
>>10974417Cool, but they are 100% sabotaging themselves by putting the limbs on the wrong order. A collector looking for their 'one' Devastator will never pick this guy up. I do personally enjoy that they are trying to make a fun toy. Maybe if it's like $250-$300 I would consider getting one.
>>10974395Never finished it, but Lockdown and Lugnut were cool character designs and I'm glad that they got good ROTF and HFTD toys respectively.
>>10974426I think it's more of a Devastator and Volcanicus with swappable parts kinda deal
>>10974443That's even cooler, but the issue is that Devastators arms and legs are swapped.
>>10974392Labor day and they are laborers
>>10974449Is a different take really an issue?
>>10974456It would be for autists. Which most transfags are.
>>10974458I don't see how, when there are so many being made at oncePeople are spoiled for choice with MP Devy
>>10974461forgot pic
>>10974462
>>10974336The orientation of the treads on Bonecrusher is weird
>>10970935Your taste is almost as bad as this faggot's >>10970373The movies themselves were barely passable popcorn bait, but the designs are fine.
>>10974461I'm not saying it's an issue for you, autismo. I'm saying it's an issue for the company if they want it to succeed.
>>10974449If they use the same connection type, could have them work as either side.
>>10974395ESL-Kun please
>>10973447>>10973480They getting back into dickwaving with NA again? Jesus. These two need to calm the fuck down, there's room for both.Kinda mad NA keeps shitting out unfinished figures though. How the fuck did they ever get away with a Grimlock without any damned leg covers? MS makes it look like a joke.
>>10974633hmmm yeah a lumbering mass of incoherent polygons sure is a good design.
What comment makes you nostalgic the most, scrapmetal movie designs, or G1 boxes? I like Animated Chins myself
>>10974957Trukk not munky
>>10974957Transformations that are toy accurate.Racing in alt mode.Taking the piss out of silly concepts in the franchise while also employing them.
>>10974957>DJW gone>Evergreen guarantees that every subsequent series will just be a variation of CyberverseThere will never be another artist as bold as him. I will miss the chins and eyeliner.
When the FUCK is that Iron Romance Not-Rampage coming out
>>10975090Yes
>>10974392>Was a SS86 devastator leaked?Yes, actuallyBut 3p is having a huge devastator war right now and I guess they wanted to have their own horce in the race
So which Devestator are your getting if your getting one? I'm waffling between FT and MMC.
>>10975157None, MP combiners are a hassle so I got Magic Square Devy
>>10975174I respectable choice as I have him on my desk as well. You should take the MMC pill though. They aren't too big and the engineering is fun.
>>10975157Probably MMC or SS86 depending on how hastak's actually looks. The Mecha Invasion one looks cool too, but I'll need to see if the colors are good enough to justify a third Devastator in my collection.
transarts TM2 chopperface https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLtkzn04G_w
comparison with the other TM2 Dinobot.
>>10975201Nah
>>10975376Am I missing what people like about right more than left
>>10975386The right has working ankle tiltsFor real though the one on the left doesn't and there's no excuse why that should be the case.
>>10975389Don't the claw toes articulate to simulate that or does it not count
Does TA have an abcrunch?
>>10975157Not gonna get another pure G1 Devy. I liked DST Superion but I'm not sure if their Devastator has the same energy, need to see vehicles to make a proper judgement. Dinostator is a good contender if every component has a Dino mode. I'll at least get Dreamstar Prowl because the Mustang mode is a cool idea.
>>10975386Pearlescent paint and a thinner waist.
>>10975395Ankle rockers are such basic points of articulation these days that it's hilarious to see people defending TA Dinobot 2 NOT having them.
Is the Fanshobby Powermaster Prime good? I know I'll have to buy the Godbomber DLC but I'm weighing whether I'll get him or the official. The thing is I want the toy deco of the official so I'd have to buy both sets, and I prefer the comic head so I really like the FH upgrade kit head. The official one has some good accessories but I don't know if double dipping is worth it compared to the FH one
>>10975539Isn’t the fanshobby toy deco too?I remember a chrome upgrade kit for the original
>>10975376The other one looks better to me, but Transart’s is undeniably built better.Unfortunately both are far too large for me to consider purchasing. Still waiting for a company to make Newage-quality, show accurate BW figures in Legends scale.
>>10975376Who did the other one? Which is the better figure?
>>10974946>How the fuck did they ever get away with a Grimlock without any damned leg covers? MS makes it look like a joke.It's such a shame too because aesthetically, NA is the clear winner. Problem is that they somehow screwed the pooch with the unfinished legs and the backwards knees in dino mode that make the entire package fucking baffling. FT Grinder proved that there is no reason to ever leave those legs exposed like that and they did so with a pretty simple solution. Then to make matters worse for NA, they included the panels with Sludge but they are just panels that need to be removed to transform it. Much as people make fun of NA for how many times they've released new leg assemblies for their figures, I would have vastly preferred they did that again instead of those cheap shitty panels.
What Scale are MPM cars? UT Stinger makes me want to get one of these car rack displays.
>>10976034>What Scale are MPM cars?yes
>>10976034The vehicle modes aren't in scale.
>>10976058Fricking untrue
>>10975539I own it, KFC's & is getting MPG God Ginrai & MP-60. Fans Hobby is good if you want a stylised take on Ginrai. If not I'd say stick to the officials.
>>10975539Also, the V2 (the one being reissued) will have the chrome thighs & red eyes so it'll be more in line with the toy deco as opposed to my V1 which goes of the anime.
>>10972783>Devastator is really out of left fieldTell me you're joking.
>>10976318DST's thing is realistic vehicles. You'd think they would choose the one that's 4/5ths model cars. Their Devastator vehicles look stylized like GT's. Besides the excavator but I'm assuming they'll add panels to it later.
>>10975386>>10975389>>10975522When the competition literally falls apart trying to transform it and is absolutely fucked with QC it really doesn't matter that it has Ankle Rockers lolTA wins over simply not being a colossal turdI'm not even hurt by Ankle Rockers
>>10976516That’s cool that you see it like that.But I see it not having the most basic thing that Chug even has these days as a massive oversight. Trying to excuse it is a sign of company war autism.
>>10976564I mean I get it and it needs Ankles Rockers and given the design it SHOULD have had themBut to me it's not that big a deal
>>10976564I don't think ankle rockers excuse what this anon >>10976516 is claiming if we're just basing it on this >>10975386 this original question But I think the skinnier waist looks worse even if it's more accurate so I shouldn't be in this conversation
>>109761271:24 right?
>>10976025I wish they did new legs for grimmy not only for the covers, but because his thighs are so fat that they clash with the hip and limit articulation in really annoying ways. Just let them drop down a little bit, that's all he needs
>>10971035Sorry dude, but the designs for the movie look like complete ass. Its just going to be a shitty marvel quipfest, ruining any kind of serious moments of tensions they are trying to build.Theres going to be so many "SO THAT JUST HAPPENED!!" and "DID I DO THAT?" moments its going to be unbearable.
>>10977657They front-loaded all the jokes in the trailer.
>>10976127None of them is in the same scale, not a single one, cry more.
>>10977710Just hollywood lies my man. There will be jokes throughout the entire movie through a combination of the director/writers being retards and boomer executive meddling trying to copy marvel movies.
>>10977729All of the cars are in scale. Anything larger like the trucks and military vehicles are not. But of course OSKOs fix that.
>>10977735You sound like you're less happy than this anon >>10977710
>>10977858Hey, I'm not happy. I'm just projecting my own interests on a movie that is unlikely to be something I like anyway.
>>10977657G1 was a “quipfest” toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_ChLOZ-fkM
>>10977796"looks good enough to me" != in scale
>>10977995By this logic no Transformer toy is in scale
>>10978022Alternators.
>>10978027Same scale as MPM.
>>10978022Vehicles are not in scaleRobots are in scale
>>10978051Vehicles and Robots are properly scaled for the cars, everything else is fucked. The cars are as close to 1/30th as you could reasonably get while Blackout is nearly 1/70 in helicopter mode, Megatron's robot is far too short, Optimus and Starscream are too small in both modes etc. Pic unrelated.
>>10978081>Vehicles and Robots are properly scaled for the carsCompare wheels
>>10978083Different cars have different wheel sizes. Inconclusive.
>>10978083Same scale as HA and Alternators.
>>10978087Alternators don't scale the robot mode
>>10978088Ok, and?
Has anyone here ordered from MS directly? Was thinking of ordering some faction symbols from them.
>>10978090Haven't ordered any labels cause I'm lazy, but their figures are legit.
>>10978090I just get the ocean ones
>>10978090I have. I'm waiting for them to put Hoist up so I can get that, Trailbreaker and some more decals.
>>10978083Monster trucks must confuse the fuck out of you
>>10973094>>10972836You make the pupils a slightly lighter color to show line of sight. Bonus is that you only have to have it visible in close ups to the face and it doesn't look like they have exposed optics.
>>10978177I wasn’t aware there was a monster truck MPM
>>10970976Yeah no, that just looks awful
>>10978189So, the shitty toon look that in HD makes them look like they're gems or their optics are specks of light in a wash of red/cyan light?You realize it would look like this to most people?
>>10972836hahah the mouth and lack of readable expression somehow reminds me of the dullsurprise.jpg days.
>>10978430Yeah ikr, so bad
>>10978433I think you might have autism anon
>>10978430So expressionless
I know this is a stupid question, but what movie Ironhide figures are the best/worth pursuing? Preferably third party, My Optimus is still the old ROTF Prime so if he's close to the right vehicle size, bonus, but a good robot for the design without needing a bag/box of extra bits can get up to a bit taller than him. (Just nothing over two heads taller than Prime.)
>>10978448That art style gets away with it due to the now super dated CGI AND cartoon physical properties, you can't put a robot rhino farting a nuclear cloud of toxic fumes on an IMAX screen as have the brand not be turned from "that cool China robot vehicle murder fest" to "that moronic franchise still exists?">>10978442Again, that is 2D, Look how poorly the bruce timm style became 3d with the green lantern show, it won't work for a realistic level of detail except for the eyes.
>>10978449https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqdUKE8vL1M>>10978453Disagree, earthspark does it well too, just a tad too brightThe black sclera looks bad
>>10978453Also>Look how poorly the bruce timm style became 3d with the green lantern show(You)
>>10978022Transformers aren't real, anon.
>>10978593Cars are real
>>10978089>>10978083>>10978085>>10978088GTFO you autistic fucks. If you want your fucking toy cars to be in scale then collect scale models instead.
>>10978747It's a nice feeling
>>10978453>now super dated CGI AND cartoon physical properties,the cgi expressions and animation still holds up, even if the rendering doesn't.also this movie is a cartoon as well, it doesn't need to be beholden to live action
>>10974953(You)
>>10978453>Look how poorly the bruce timm style became 3d with the green lantern showI personally thought that show looked pretty nice
>>10978747Why but a Scale model when I can get a Scale model that can transform?
DST-02-001 Forklift Warrior
>>10978855Pinky index and middle fingers seem to be changed to a fused claw. Strange that they kept the thumb a ball joint because that's the only one I had an issue with on the Aerialbots.
>>10978858Looks clean besides the one butt plate but that's pretty easy to ignore.
>>10978861240mm or 9.45 inches. Taller than Aerialbot limbs which are 8.66 according to ShowZ.
>>10978775You think the movie would make 10 billion or more if it looked like beast wars?Sure, a cartoon aesthetic might work, but the global profit margin will not be offset if it's done in a way that limits it's audience.
>>10978798Idw was mostly fulfilling fan fantasies about the future of the G1 show without hot rod becoming a prime, but you're butthurt over two background characters that were in it?
>>10970559>>10970557Any bits that worry you or that you feel are fragile? I've not bought any Planet X stuff despite WFC being one of my favourite styles due to seeing a lot of breakage issues on their stuff.
>>10977881That's a fan animation, and the G1 audio is nothing like the dialogue in the trailer, for one it actually sounds like a natural conversation.
>>10978787now say it without crying>>10978798>idw out of nowhere>trannies out of nowhereobsessed
>>10978813I just bought that Drift Asurada because real Asuradas are more expensive and dont transform
Any update on the Iron Factory Stunticons/Menasor?
>>10978915>Amazing, a booby trap that catches boobies>Beryllium balogna!Nobody will accept the dialogue of a cheesy 40 year old cartoon in a multimillion dollar franchise aiming to return to being multibillion.
>>10978957Shut up the adults are talking.
>>10978961Again, different tone to the modern film.
>>10978965The modern film has shown to be minions/trolls level of story, it at best will be MCU style Quippy snarkiness.I know they're doing damage control, but they're not going to rework the film, every bit of action we've seen looks like it'll be just spontaneous jokes amidst chaos, even if their lies about the product are less exaggerated than I'd best, it's not going to be what TRUE FANS want, which is the Netflix show but faster worded.
>>10978975>Netflix showEh those were just dour, we need some moments of brevity, but well crafted.
>>10978978TRANSFORMERS IS A SERIOUS WAR STORY THAT ANY JOKES WILL RUIN FOREVER!!!!
>>10979034Shit jokes can ruin the appeal of media, it did it for the Bay films and seemingly this upcoming movie.
>>10979034>going full I AM SILLYYou lost buddy.
Robot Toys BW Megs is pretty cool.
any news on dropkick?
>>10979277no MG is busy doing anti-KO ops
MS finally came through and delivered my spare leg for scavenger. Or at least, a defect leg with a non-broken ball socketNow I just need to figure out how to remove and replace it without breaking it. I don't even know how they get these fucking things IN here with how closely they grip the joint
>>10979433Warm the plastic with hot water or a blow dryer.
>>10978957This is such a fucking goofy set. None of the individual members have any samurai aesthetics by default and yet combined, they suddenly become one. Why? Then there's the fact that this is one of the lamest examples of "combining" I've ever seen from a Menasor since not a godddamn one of them actually contributes anything of substance. I know that's a problem Menasor typically has and yet it looks so much more pointless here.
>>10979839>None of the individual members have any samurai aestheticsThey have Japanese delinquent hair instead and Motormaster's vehicle mode is a dekatora.
>>10979839The individual bots are Bancho and Dekotora but this pic shows them without the extra accessoriesThe Menasor works like any other, the amount of people that complain about how Menasor looks always makes me laugh, it’s always about how it’s just a figure with everything chucked on, but that’s exactly what he is and it works here as they look like shoulder armour
Just a little guy>>10979861I've said it before but I wish Dragstrip and Dead End had, like, a single panel that flipped over so looked more like samurai armor and not just cars
>>10979852>They have Japanese delinquent hair insteadLiterally only Dragstrip has enything even evoking that. The rest either don't or they are stretching it so thin that you can't tell without outright being told that's what it's supposed to be and even then, fucking barely.>>10979861>The individual bots are Bancho and Dekotora but this pic shows them without the extra accessoriesThat's why I said "by default".>The Menasor works like any other, the amount of people that complain about how Menasor looks always makes me laugh,He has just kind of always been the worst of the G1 combiner designs.
>>10979870The Dragstrip looks great though, he's literally dressed like pic related but with a ridiculous pompadour
>>10979839>None of the individual members have any samurai aesthetics by default and yet combined, they suddenly become oneI'll add to what >>10979852 said in that Motormaster has on Geta sandals, and Dragstrip is wearing Takeda ninja styled "pants".
>>10979872>He has just kind of always been the worst of the G1 combiner designs.I assume you mean he does the least with the parts?I think he looks best when the arms are cars and the legs show the underside>>10979870maybe?I dunno, the cars just being cars fits well with Menasor>>10979876Motormaster is straight up a Jotaro reference, kinda wish they made one a Sukeban female
>>10979881forgot pic
>>10979881Sukeban sounds cool, but not suitable for the regular members.
>>10979872Menasor is the best and purest of the Scramble City combiners.
>>10979839Every 3P combiner is just an action figure with other vehicles stapled on. I don't get why Menasor gets whined about when Devastators and Liokaisers do the same
>>10979937Bruticus is the one that changes between "this can fly" and "strong on land" feeling by changing limb position.
>>10979945>Scramble CITY>Military vehicles
>>10978957Nothing beyond the initial announcement. But to be fair IF has like three years of backlog at this point. Also its a shame that the add on parts aren't integrated into the transformation. They should steal from Animated and have the exhausts form nunchucks and sword handles.>I want an MP Motormaster/Optimus Dekatora with working lights so bad now.
>>10979947Yes. Vehicles used by a species that lives in a city.
>>10979943Most other combiners at the very least still use the other bots as the arms and legs. Menasor has very frequently just had them stapled on as armor.As far as 3p goes, I presume you're referring to the big useless torso blocks they all come with these days but I honestly think that shit is retarded too and is why I don't really buy 3p combiners that insist on G1 accuracy. MMC doing god's work here with their all in ones that still actually look good and aren't unstable monstrosities.
>>10980047Conspicuous pink.
>>10978687Thus the fact they're not in scale.
Athena stop being a bad girl
>>10980074They are in scale to an imaginary world that is 24 times smaller than our own.
>>10980047This is like the sole reason I want Omega Supreme nearly
>>10980080You expect the pinkertons to attack anyone who puts a copyrighted sticker on a different copyrighted (or not copyrighted) product?
>>10980181Lots of cars have Autobot/Decepticon sigils on them despite not being official products.
>>10980181That's the "lol nice hecking wholesome bootleg" AnonHe's legit just some sperg who has an autistic fit and rages whenever you post unofficial stuff
>>10979943WrongEvery figure has parts that allow them to actually be poseable, but I know you hate poseability. You’d much prefer “A stance” and one figure have whack proportions, just so it can be “all in one”
>>10980202I’ve encountered him on /vr/ tooHe always posts his marble bench top with a piece of paper on it, I mentioned 3P transformers on there and then dropped the bootleg comments
>>10978132How long dose shipping usually take?
>>10980419They typically take about two weeks, give or take a few days depending on how long they take to ship outt. burger
Is the Dr Wu Ultra Magnus just a regular recolor of Optimus? No special gimmick to connect to his armor I need to worry about?
>>10980600Yes, they sold a small number of armor sets alone too if you didn't want a 2nd cab. One thing to look out for is that the clip that hooks onto the bottom of the leg may stress them.
>>10980122Wrong.

>>10980952Man he's really cumming these out of his production cock like he's 14 years old lately. I feel like last year only got half this much
>>10980952That almost looks too big Not to bring up scale again
>>10981571Lewin Scale lol.
>>10980600If you mean the full thing yes it's just a white or w/e version Prime and the Armor that attaches to him
Stop buying small robots.
>>10981812No
>>10981812Stop having small pp

https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/tsparkofficial/adamas/amt01_rodimus/Sorta related. TT's making a transformable version of Flame Toy's Rodimus
>>10982098Pretty interesting anon. I wonder if they were threatening Cyber Factory/Wonderful trans because they had these in the works or these were a response to 3rd party conversions and the trend of redesigns. FT always had the right idea of stylized reimaginings but they just weren't worth it when 3P was doing the same thing + transformations. Anyways cool to see an official collectors line that isn't trying to replicate a particular cartoon, as much as I like G1/BW we'll likely never finish either series at the rate that they make them.
For anyone with a premium account, did ShowZ cut the comment points down to 8?
>>10982228Wonder if this will kill Flame Toy's premium line, since either TakaraTomy or 3Ps will make transformable versions of their designs.
>>10982639
>>10982634>Wonder if this will kill Flame Toy's premium linewhy?
>>10982641https://weibo.com/2352651453/OdmHcn7zO
>>10982642>they just weren't worth it when 3P was doing the same thing + transformations.There's also KOs with better paint.
>>10982642Because Flame Toy's premium line is expensive as fuck for TRANSFORMERS that don't TRANSFORM.
>>10982634Depends on how FlameToys contract is done. Does Takara have to pay them to use their redesigns for their transforming version? Or do they own the design by default when they licensed them out in the first place? If these are successful I could see TT absorbing FT's talent and putting that budget towards transforming toys instead. Would be a pretty good step in trying to combat third party, as their biggest strength is being able to make TFs from any concept art they want. This is especially relevant now that both MP and Mainline are doing G1 remakes.
>>10982411People were using bots to spam comments everyday to max out the free points they got. Led to most items having nothing helpful in the comments, and also lost showz money over time.
>>10983046>wow this looks good! I wonder who this character is xDthey should never have let people review toys they didnt buy on their account
>>10983069>>10983046I'm guilty of this shit. They should put a 100 word minimum instead of cutting the points so we have to put in effort, because now you just make more accounts to make up for the difference.
>>10983069Why do they have incentives for reviews anyway? I'd understand if it was on ebay/ali/taobao since better ratings boosts their visibility, but ShowZ is their own site so engagement like this doesn't make sense.
>>10983191You should not have been allowed to leave reviews on items that you don't own and haven't released yet. Period. It's not a review then it's a comment, and every single person that commented there said nothing but nonsense. Missing Link Bee's comments for instance are just people telling their life story with Bumblebee and complaining about price. That shit should not be rewarded.
>>10983255Their Discord has a built in like/dislike system so I'm assuming the idea is to build engagement and keep you on one site. Commenting means you're always on the site looking at new listings.>missing link Bee's price40$ seems pretty reasonable considering that their Prime was 150$ I'd pay 60$-75$ for hypothetical carbots too. Just seems like Diaclone pricing desu.
>>10983255Yep, all reviews should have at least one image of the product and they should make a separate comment tab
>>10983286Missing link convoy was already overpriced, you're paying 40 bucks for something core-sized and not much more complex than a deluxe. Even 3rd party legends do more for a similar price (the actual good ones, anyway) without relying entirely on novelty factor for nostalgiapiggies to lap up
New >>10983622
>>10982989Is that Scylla from Castlevania?
>>10984056It is pretty close to the Castlevania version of the Scylla
