>11022925image limit>>11022917The tail, mostly! I realize the wings are pinned so that's a pipe dream, and anyway they were never huge on the show. but he needs a new tail piece. With a better separation of the white feathers, and the ability to extend out in beast mode and retract for robot mode.
I bought that ebay listing T-AI somebody posted here a few days ago lol. Hey, if they didn't want to include her with the Haslab, may as well get her only official piece of merch to go with it.
>>11022934cuuuute. The oversized hat helps a lot.
>>11022925>>11022927and you spammed images to get that excuse. All so you could be front page to a thread that doesn't even get 50 IPs anymore.
>>11022945that is kind of logical actually.. it's meta.>11022950to avoid letting you do itI don't recall in the rules where it says you can't burn off the last couple images when it's sitting at 147 images. But let's take it to a voteohh they've voted that you should leave.
>>11022941She is isn't she? Her head is on a balljoint so you can have her looking around. I love the little Convoy, despite his front being mostly covered by the rock they did a great job with the detail and paint.
>>11022957He's giving her a ride! And she's giving the wee Gelshark a ride. They are friends.
>>11022950Why does any of that matters?
>>11022950I love that you value a thread by number of IPs (which isn't even displayed anymore). your trolling couldn't be more transparent.Why don't you take that number down to 49 and go harass someone else.
>>11022919Thanks for using my pic again. Also I really hope that Mark and team WILL listen to suggestions.
>>11022965You have good suggestions sometimes. Wait, what was your suggestion?
>>11022969>more crazy repaints like in old days>new characters but not at the cost of existing fan favourites in lines>more inside look into line creations - so as soon as new line develops>Better qc>Animated decepticons>Minicons>Energon characters in the future>Bay 07 teams in legacyThat's it
>>11022996I am 100% in there. Even if i don't have much attachment to Energon, I've got nothing against getting some of the best of it. Especially if we get redesigned Terrorcons. Hell yes Energon Terrorcons all the wayBuuut Bay guys in legacy? isn't that what Studio Series is for? And why do you say teams
Hasbro Pulse sale updateSold out: Retro G1 KickbackRestocked: Selects Antagony
>>11023008I didn’t expect Kickback to be that popular
>>11023011he bribed everyone to buy him. every time they make a purchase, they get a kickback
>>11023011You gotta jump at the chance
>>11023011The retro G1 toys are also Walmart exclusives so Pulse might just have less stock of him to begin with
>>11022950Almost always happens sadly. Slow boards get the worse. >>11022964 like YouTubes like/dislike you can restore the IP page count and see numbers.
>>11023074>you can restore the IP page countHow, the extension doesn't have it anymore
lmao
>>11023098I don't buy legos, and I didn't buy the Optimus lego. But I still feel confident saying this looks like total shit compared to that Prime.
>>11023074that suggests 4chan hid it on purpose.. i can't imagine why they would do that.in any case, link to the browser plugin or whatever?
>>11023098that is one fantastic... upper half of a robot.>>11023100prime looked good but needed knees, which some people figured out how to give him. This... well, the head and hands are better. and i quite like putting a ton of car kibble up on the shoulders, makin a beefy bee.
>>11023119>that suggests 4chan hid it on purposeThis happened in like March, anonAre you okay
>>11023138i didn't make any mention to anything related to time.if it's restorable, that means it's still there, hidden, deliberately, by youtube. rather than removed due to it not working right or whatever. if it still exists, that suggests they want SOMEONE to be able to see it, but not us.like how youtube dislikes are still visible to the uploader, the person they claimed to be protecting by removing it.
>>110231554chan?
>>11023162whoopsyes the first time I said youtube, I meant 4chan
>>11023168Regardless we already knew about this months ago
>>11023170including, specifically, the part about it being able to be brought back via some kind of browser plugin?
>>11023220No, that's the only new thing I gave that anon a (You) about, to which we've been given zero response

>>11023098Looks like Titans return/legends bumblebee with them big ol shoulders and foot flaps in front of the shins.
>>11023349oh wow, and the small stick legs and everything. except at least this has knees.
>>11023272There's already a ko on AliExpress if you really want to be cheap.
>>11023353knock it off and don't even fix its proportions, ff
Are there any miniatures of Silverbolt floating around the web? I really like painting miniatures and would love to have a Silverbolt in both bot and beast mode, but I haven't been able to find any. I could cobble something together on a site like Hero Forge (picrel, not mine, but I recognise the site) but I would rather have something that is accurate, rather than just an approximation.
>>11023386the only miniatures i'm aware of are the ones that came with orcanoch and 'tarantula' the two playset guys.There are like, chibi figurine statuettes, but that's not the same thing, and always robot mode.
>>11023098Bumblebee has always been a shitty toy. Cool character but has never looked good outside of the cartoon. I don't collect transformers but I do collect legos. I was thinking about getting prime if they make more but this just doesn't look worth it.
>>11023388I don't need physical minis, just STLs I was hoping someone would have one.
>>11023397OH. got it.That's a fucking good question actually. Logically something like that must exist, at least in the sense that there is a model and you could have it printed at a smaller resolution (that is how it works, right?)
>>11023399>you could have it printed at a smaller resolution (that is how it works, right?)To an extent, at a certain scale details get lost, which is why most miniatures are somewhat stylised, but the broad strokes are still there.Apparently you can scan things with your phone and make minis out of that, but I'm too much of a Luddite to work that out, otherwise I'd just scan my own figures.My DnD group are pretty chill about characters, so if you can make a character fit within the rules then you can basically be whatever you want (I played as a Predator with a mini based on the one from Prey in my last campaign) and I'd love to play a super noble and heroic character with Silverbolt on our next campaign.But it seems outside of Primal and Megatron, most mini modellers don't care about Beast Wars.
>>11023406exactly, i just figured the loss of detail would sort of take care of what you would otherwise do, which is remake it at a smaller size.>scan things with phoneas i understand it, only iphones, only certain iphones, and with a margin of error so you still need to be able to know enough 3d editing to tweak it. but yeah. it makes me want one.>DnDi feel like an 8 foot tall winged robot is not exactly UNwelcome in DnD, but surely the thing to do would be to make something that fits better, and merely -evokes- him. a were-wolf-griffin-paladin.. surely that's. a thing. plus then you could give him better weapons than "Two swords that are also explosive missiles oops don't hit too hard now"
I love the little elasmosaurus head on Magmatron's shoulder.I like to think whenever he makes a joke the head laughs like Muttley in Wacky Races.
>>11023406>scan things with phonetried this, I too am a lazy printfag and this shit does not work, tried it to replace a broken part and some missing arms on my core and legends class figures. You need a special machine to do it and it's upwards 80 buckswish hasbro just sold their files for their old figures
oh good lord, mercari has pushed the seller fee onto the customer now. I think the site is dead. That's .. I mean that's illegal, you can't not list huge, massive fees in the listing for a product. You have to offer it at the price shown.
>>11023452Get Ticketmaster'd, nerd
>G1 Legends Breakdown listing on eBay went for $85+$20 shipping>too rich for my blood>waited all of two days and some dude in Singapore listed him for $65 with free shippingI hate paying scalper prices, but I hate Menasor's leg gap not being covered up.
>>11023473You paid that much for a deluxe and not even a good one, just to slap it on a combiner where you can barely see it
>Bloks doing Tarn>Forums are blowing a gasket because they don't want muh pure geewun collection spoiled by an outsiderThey're coping about trying to buy the whole series as single packs so they can avoid Tarn or trying to sell him off. Why are geewuners so mindbroken?
>>11023496What can I say? I wanted a complete set and the little fucker's distribution is pretty awful. Wild Rider looks even worse so there's a snowball's chance in hell I'm using two for the legs.
>"reporting for duty, Cap!">"hey nice work out the-are you drunk?">"absolutely not Captain.">"good, listen: Fireshot and Vanquish have been out there beyond the scanwall for 6 hours.">"Yes, sir. I'll find them.">"good man."
>>11023539ooh another mission. can't wait to see where this goes.
>>11023539>"what are we doin out here, Cap?">"I'm not sure anymore....I just sent one child to go look for another child...do you remember the fairy tale about the pied Piper? that's me. I steal children from their parents and direct them where to die.">"goddamn, Cap....you ok?">.................."I'm not."
Are they all this massive?
>>11023555
>>11023555someone posted a titans lineup the other day, and a few of them were a lot smaller, including Tidal Wave.>>11023562oh you beat me to it
>>11023562Where's Predaking?
>>11023568If they have Devastator they were probably scared off any more titan combiners, with good reason.
>>11023562I need a decipton but I only really like zarak. Trypticon I can only find incomplete
>>11023570they?
>>11023582Whoever's photo that is.
>>11023587.... alright, fair. that is technically grammatical... for now.
>>11023554>I don't know what they were talking about below decks, what I knew was that Fireshot and Vanquish were still out there...
>>11022934God, I'm so sad that sky byte figure sucks. At least they're apparently going to do a new one.
>>11023554who put this man in charge
should I get KO reissue G1 Octane to finish my triple changers or gamble KO reissue Computron?
>>11023562What possible titans do we have left? Primus?
>>11023636Cybertron Starscream
>>11023598>"following their energon trail.. but... it....I....">>11023633show some respect. this is a veteran commander of intergalactic wars.
>>11023650>"it's....mesmerizing.,..."
>>11023662>"wWWwwelcomme F-fff-friend...."
>>11023098Why did Kre-o fail when this exists? Lego really isnt better
>>11022919What's the appeal of this again? It's like someone just said "make 3 dinos but make them combine just because"
Word going around now is there's a QC issue with the Gen Selects Autobot 5 pack, about the Wheeljack's hood not being able to collapse completely in vehicle mode.
>>11023689You don't have to disassemble it to transform and it's got the LEGO brand on it so it'll automatically sell
>>11023642I don't know how likely that is, given we just got a new Voyager of him
>>11023298If it is, nothing of value will be lost. I highly doubt it would have topped Fall of Cybertron and Devastation
>>11023701What I wouldn't give to have those available againor at least have the Steam versions of WFC and FOC fixed to support controllers properly again.
>>11023674it's moments like these when you need a bro like Stakeout. >"get out of there, dude!">"but transcendence....">"it's an illusion! the dark Gods are real!"
>>11023342He was spraying something alright :(
>>11023689Did you ever own a kre-o set? The bricks didn't feel quite right and didn't assemble as securely as lego bricks do
>>11023508Should've bought the 3d printed calf shell.
>>11023636The 6 memeber combiners could use the budget, mostly fucking Landcross and his superlink combination bullshit.
Now that even Power Rangers is jumping on the "beat-em up based on old IPs" fad Shredder's Revenge started, when should we expect a new TF beat-em up?
>>11023735what do you think devestation is?BTW Power Rangers had a SNES bmup, which I'm assuming this is a remake, this game is also published by Hasbro
>>11023737Yeah but I meant something 2D.Though a schmup would work better (Especially for side-scrolling vehicle stages).
>>11023739>Though a shmup would work betterNo way, a Megaman type game would probably fit better but a 2D beatemup is fine
I wish hasbro made a commander sixshot
>>11023735Can you legit rope yourself?I have seen the exact same fucking copy paste and spam style "hey PR is doing a game" and talking about it on like 5 other threads
>>11023692It's a crapshoot. Thankfully I lucked out with mine, but whoever shot these didn't.
>tidal waveSo tidal wave is coming out around the worldJust how long do we have to wait for a proper solution to the knee?Don't tell me that we need to wait for the DNA design like what- one year?
>>11023818Same approach we took with TR Trypticon; either trim or weaken the springs in the knees.
>>11023818I feel like you'll have to preemptively secure the one part with epoxy or something. It's not supposed to move but the actual design gives it only three teeny tabs to put the entire weight of the figure on
>>11023846I suspect someone will create a better-engineered part you can 3D print to prevent this from being an issue.
>>11023846>>11023849looking at this, best part would use all the spare place inside this joint, tabs seems tiny and brittle so something else needs to hold ratchet secure.
>>11023554This is heavy... I like it though
>found 3 SS Snarl in the wild>Thought I'd get the one that had a beat up box>Get rewarded with a perfectly aligned Autobot symbol
>>11023818>tidalwave is coming outGood for him, good for him.
>>11023887Well it is pride month after all
>>11023874Tried transforming my Snarl for the first timeHoly fuck those dino legs are in his arms so good he's Actionmaster Snarl to me now.
FUCKING FINALLY got me a Breakdown to collect dust on the back of Meantron’s leg
>>11023934I hate that I'm saving thisHe at least has double-jointed elbows and knees, right
>>11023897I had to unscrew an arm and shave down part of the leg inside to be able to transform him.
>>11023727It wouldn't complete the non-combined lineup though. Oh boy, my favorite Decepticons are all here. Motormaster, Dragstrip, 3D Printed Shell...
>>110241493D Printed Shell wasn't in Dreamwave but have the rest of their bioshttps://files.catbox.moe/xsss7g.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/enba0o.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/4kqgop.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/h0yl2d.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/x2p3sg.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/pd6z3t.jpgAttaching Steeljaw because upcoming figure, even though it looks like ass
>>11023693This thing transforms? >>11023722I guess I never noticed because I use regular non-lego parts as filler
>>11023691i haven't a clue
>>11023008Sold out: Frankentron
>>11023846>All that unused space>Tiniest of tabs to hold a strong ratchet in placeSometimes it just feels like they design things to fail.
>>11023562Wonder who the next Titan will be. Grandus?
>>11024316Iaconus
>>11024324Hasbro said this, or it's just your vote?
>>11024328Vote.
>>11023692>>11023811How would you even fix that?Smooth it out by shaving down the bottom?
>>11023473Now to stress and crack the peg holes by leaving them onLmao
>>11023473>stalking local deals every day >someone lists menasor >will sell individual bots Oh thank you Jesus >pricing is as follows Motormaster $120Dead End $45Wildrider $40Dragstrip $30Breakdown $20Go fucking figure. I think he priced them based on how much he likes them? I almost feel bad but every successful seller has to learn some hard lessons.
>>11024410They should all be retail $20-25 or so and at best Dead End like $30 since he is harder to findWild Rider is on BBTS now
>>11024424Dead end was $6 at one point
>>11023735that'd be some pretty difficult pixel art, I imagine it would only have four playable characters.
>>11023756much as i loathe normies, it's unreasonable to expect nothing but original thought
>>11023692Yeah mine has that problem. I think thickening the pegs on the windshield up with some floor polish or something should do the trick? I tried swapping the windshields on my ER and 5-Pack wheeljacks and the ER windshield held in just fine, whereas the 5-Pack windshield tabs didn't peg into ER wheel jack at all.
>>11024287Of course they do. I'm 99% certain they have dealings with the upgrade kit creators and get to take a cut out of every kit sold. I mean, why release a perfect toy the first time around when you can have an 'unrelated 3rd party' come along and sell a DLC that you'll get additional money from later?
>>11024380All your toys will degrade. Will you obsess over time taking its toll on them or will you stop being a little bitch and have some fun?
>>11024516the only thing supporting this is how expensive the upgrade kits are.
Finally finished my budget Combiner Hunters Arcee. Took a while but I'm happy with her.
>>11024558Amazingly she can sort of do the Obari sword pose despite lacking wrists.
Are they Automaton Robots, or Automotive Robots? One is redundant, but the other doesn't make sense with them having lots of other kinds of altmodes.
>>11024563autonomous robotic organisms
>>11024151Where do those character pages come from? (the ones you linked)
>>11024287>>11024516An upgrade kit won't work. Sadly, even the space around the tabs is too thin. You'd need to fashion out at least 4 tabs around the hollow spaces of the ratchet, then fuse those tabs straight to the knee with the strongest glue possible. Anything else and you run the risk of breaking even more things.
>>11024558>>11024562bitchin. where's that sword from
>>11024563Automatic Abbots
>>11024603The really big Beast Hunters Optimus Prime from Prime.
>>11024563Autogynophilic Turbots
>>11024581It's the bios from Dreamwave>(2003) Transformers - More Then Meets The Eye [#1-8]Stuff like Micromaster teams or pretenders (who always have a neat two-page spread, as do some big-name guys) I've edited together manually
>>11024563They're Irish.Aut O'bot.
>>11024608beeg sord. right outta monster hunter. excellent.>>11024563Autonymous Sabots.Yknow those things you fit around a bullet so it fits in a fatter barrel. Named after a wooden clog
>>11024612This one sounds true. They even specialize in shapeshifting.
>>11023947I think this is the first Transformer I'll need to do surgery like that for just to get parts moving. Usually I could cheat with a prying tool or peg and port or something.
What decepticon should I get to duke it out with my 2005 Cybertron Optimus?

nevermind all that discussion of fembot tiddies, which transformer has the biggest codpiece? big bulging crotches abound...
When is this beautiful boy comin out...
>>11024724G1 Optimus
>>11024736wot, the toy version? that's more of a huge gut. if you mean the cartoon version with his iconic 'yellow shapes' belt, that's still a pretty moderate crotch...
>>11024737His blue bulge can't be contained by his pants
>>11024739it is A bulge, but it's not a huge bulge, is it
>>11024724Dunno about the biggest but Flame Toys Starscream is definitely up there
>>11024744now THAT'S what I'm talking about>You know, I heard he had his cockpit reduced so he could intake from his own output>That's a myth! That kind of reformatting is totally banned>Not in Cyberuguay.
>>11024563Super robot lifeforms
>>11024563I always thought it was the latter since they all only turned into cars and trucks in 84
>>11024563I believe they are Transformers
>>11024749So are Decepticreeps.
Caption this: What are they arguing about, and who's winning?
>>11024816If Ultra Magnus can deal with taking the trash out now. It isn't going well for him.
>>11024816That pinhead Magnus is being absolutely mogged by all the other Commander class figures, that's humiliating.
>>11024816>Look, you can do that cute thing Ryo-Ohki did with her hands that one time, all you want... but you're just not kawaii material, Mags."
>>11024816Magmatron: I don't care who screwed up the refrigerator! It wasn't me, so I'm not fixing it.
>>11024614>random Decepticons can shoot stuff from six miles away and scramble people's brainsTransformers are crazy OP
>>11024863I'm neither the OP of this thread nor Optimus Prime but thank you
is literally anyone accepting this awful design fuckup as an acceptable compromise?first scourge now tidal wave. just fuck sam off the TF team already...
>>11024892that seems clever to me. Though I'm a little confused, in the original, no part of the hand made up part of the armor mode for megatron, did it? and if it did, then that still makes no sense, since they are now in different scales and that's why megs gets a mini one.
>>11024892Tidal Wave's hands combined looked like a giant hand for the combination with Megatron on the original, but the way it is done here, is flat only. Very strange decisions in general.
>>11024935well he originally had pretty shitty hands on his own..
>>11024892Tidal Wave has a strong hand now
>>11023934Same, but I quite like the look of him compared to Wildrider. The gun weapon storage is nice and I like that it and the spoiler form a sword, it adds a little variety. For some reason mine also feels a fair but better than Wildrider, the joints seem a bit tighter and more stable.
>>11024614Ahh awesome, thank you! Do you happen to have a download for the the complete set?
>>11024666Satan.
Is there any chance of the old War Within designs getting new Generations toys? In my mind they're still the definitive pre-Earth transformer look.
>>11024978No.
>>11023934I missed these edits
>>11024982:[Surely if we can get G2 Jhiaxus we can get some certified Dreamwave classics, right?Sparktoys Alpha Pack looks dope but I don't have that kind of money.
oh good, there's an upgrade kit for tigerhawk with a bunch of gap fillers and wing plates. now if you can just get one for like 10 bucks it'll be a steal.
>>11024978after Don Figueroa got ripped off they cleaned house and we'll never get that kind of approach to toys/designs ever againnot that current hasbro could even afford 2008 technology anymore
>>11025039>after Don Figueroa got ripped offI keep hearing people say this recentlyIt just sounds like he wasn't a good business man
>>11025032Upgrade kits are just so cool. So tempting. But never a perfect color match, and just not worth what they cost most of the time.
>>11025046Don was one of the main artists working on Transformers at IDW, and he specifically designed characters as if he was sketching the toys he expected hasbro would want to make of them. he had a fundamentally synergistic character design approach that made hasbro's job much easier. classics cyclonus is probably his masterpiece, with such perfect between form and function the product of this considerayion for how these robutts would actually physically work as toys.then he got shafted by IDW and hasbro didn't care about proper credit so they all fell outhttps://tfwiki.net/wiki/Don_Figueroa#Stealth_bomber_Megatron_controversy:~:text=his%20spare%20time.-,Stealth%20bomber%20Megatron%20controversy,-The%20editor%20wasjust another reason to reply>fuck IDW
>>11025048Yeah, like I saidHe wasn't a good businessman
magmatron is so cool i hope we get optimus mammoth too
Random thought, but looking at pics of the toy again...they really, REALLY needed to give Filch a new, long tail instead of just keeping Airazor's default one. There's a reason her show model had such a long one - real Blue Magpies have some crazy-long feathers (and beautiful colors).
>>11025083Compare that to this. Really not the best match.
has science gone too far?
>>11025088Not gone too far enough I'd say!
Tidal Wave might have been worth it if the mini Tidal Wave could do the robot mode as well.
>>11024975>TF mega's goneOh... well, here's the ones I uploaded. Some stuff might be out of date, like the micromaster compilations that I had to shrink down to 4chan file size limits, didn't get around to combining all the combiner teams, etc.https://mega.nz/folder/90dzRapL#OB8Mn0Cthj2lRGIoG0v6Pw
>>11025139>Carnivac doesn't care, he's just happy the way he isAnd why shouldn't he be? He looks awesome.
>>11025164Not really the Dinobot-before-Dinobot honoraburu guy you get to enjoy in the Marvel comics, but this is pretty fun as well.
>>11025088this I like. turns it into a Star Destroyer with even more guns. would it look better if the wings on mini Tidal Wave are flipped out to give more wings?
>official crossover merch with MLP and Mr Potato HeadI'm betting a lot on Hatsune Miku being an upcoming TF collab toy
>>11025088>>11025090>hip skirt is atrocious simple garbage on a $200 toy when ER Prime had it perfected>>11025048>3P bad but it's okay when Hasbro shits on someone else's work...
>>11024978We're getting The Fallen next year and it's everyone's hope that it'll be the Dreamwave design.

>>11025351ER prime has one of the shittiest types of hip assemblies. When they don't define the groin it just looks like their legs go all the way up and fucks their proportons
>>11025449
>>11025453Why would it? Glam rock hasn't been in style for 40 years.
>>11025449To be fair I'd give up too if I was put in-charge of making '86 Megs. Can't make him a fucking gun, but you can't make him a tank without being crucified by the fans. There's literally no winning.
>>11025475If you include his original gun altmode as a Transformer-scaled accessory it might pass.
>>11025083there's a third-party kit like that but I don't think it fits her style, it's swoopy rather than spiky or realistic
>>11025088that looks SO much better
>>11025343i hope it's an actual transformer, though i'm sure it'll have a shitty g5 altmode so it'll suck regardless. I want a realistic/slightly stylized horse altmode transformer, dammit
>fans will buy a 3D printed poor quality $20 add-on for a toy>same fans will cry when Hasbro includes the same accessory, cast in more durable plastic, for maybe $5SS86 tape bots got hit with this... I know Hasbro his basically terrible but being a hypocrite isn't an argument.
>Magmatron on Amazon>great robot mode & also massive>dinos are shit through & the combo mode looks like it was glued together from scrap>Big Convoy was such a trash design & if they do a new one it will probably be worseWell $90 saved then...
>>11025463I feel like some people are flat out unable to comprehend this.
>>11025090Why is he so sad?
>>11025544The dinos are fine? They all have a ton of articulation and the only major gripe is Landsaurus not having a larger head (though I get why) and the jaw not being able to open up more.In the whole, if the toy didn't use rubber, it would be perfect.
>>11025544>>Big Convoy was such a trash design & if they do a new one it will probably be worseImagine having taste this bad.
>>11025544Dinos aren't great but they're fine, I know zero about the guys lore, but the toys are fun as fuck, still wish I waited a bit instead of paying full retail (forgot I had preorder him on amazon), I'm sure he'll get cheaper being a nobody for most fans.
>>11025544aside from landsaur having poked his head and upper body into a shrink ray, they're pretty boss. And yeah the combined beast mode is stupid, but you don't have to use it. I don't think it holds the robot mode back much, though perhaps it's its fault that the hip-flaps can't fold up into the torso
>>11025552i love his design but I want him redesigned from the ground up, so that the mammoth parts actually form the robot parts.Which would mean a bigger robot mode, since less of the meat would be devoted to kibble.
Wait, are Straxus and the other Marvel figures Pulse exclusive?
>>11025598Yes.
>>11025600WHY
>>11025548He's a forever alone permavirg because his robopeen is too big to fit into any known vagina.
>>11025605Because it is a niche recolor to start the line. The Optimus Prime and Megatron painted to look like movie reflective surfaces was also limited release.
>>11025598>>11025605They're taking the place of Shattered Glass this year which were also Pulse exclusive.
>>11025139This is great, thank you so much
>>11025170I think Carnivac is more like Dinobot. Catilla is only Dinobot in the sense that he dies.But since we're talking about these guys, I actually picked up just a couple of months back.
I like Transformers

>>11025523Mach Kick.
>>11025747a better one
>>11025453if you aren't a brony yourself, and you've never met a brony, you wouldn't understand.bronies are literally traumatizing irl.
>>11025754you... are aware that was a false flag op, right.everybody likes that show because it's cute. and initially, well-written. that is all. autism's gonna autism, they like things at random.

>>11023870I just lifted a scene I like from Das Boot. you gotta rip off the best!
>>11025755>you... are aware that was a false flag op, right.my coworker (male in his late 20s at the time) owned and operated a brony convention for several yearsI don't know who told you that brony's weren't a real problem but they were liars.My wife was a big fan of the MLP show, and it got to the point where I had to escort her when she went to any event that had a MLP fandom because of how inappropriate the bronies were towards literally every unescorted woman there.
>>11025772those were pre-existing though. that's just autists. you've got it backwards. autism is the epidemic, pony was an okay show. otherwise you're in 'hitler was a vegetarian' territory.>inappropriatenevermind, you're one of them lol.
>>11025523>>11025750Battle Unicorn/Magna Stampede. Dude turns from a burly knight into a unicorn warhorse.

>>11025802a unicorn is not a horse!that said, I want a unicorn too. they are awesome. and this guy... he is some thigh and waist and arm proportion tweaks away from being fucking amazing.
Think Omega supreme will be re-released?
>>11025781>autism is the epidemic, pony was an okay show.... what do you think it being alleged?I think you're arguing against a strawmanthe comment was that bronies need to move on, cause MLP was a show for little girls and adult women who grew up on the original, especially ones that now have little girls of their own.I have no idea what you're on about with the hitler vegetarian thing eitherBronies happened because a generation of men were severely introverted and had severe social anxiety about interactions with women, so they clung to a cartoon about girls that don't in any way, shape, or form resemble real women as an outlet for their sexual desires since they won't be rejected.Then those same people gathered in groups and anytime they were exposed to real women, they reacted poorly because they were never taught how to actually interact with a woman.Japan has the same problem with waifu culture.
>>11025523>>11025802the leak from a year and a half ago indicated it was a transforming playsetprobably a horse that transforms into a castle for your non transforming ponies to play in
>>11025818oh, I get it now. You really had me confused, but now I know which news articles you read.by the way stop doing that.
>>11025827oh, you're THAT trollthe one who tries to get threads deleted by forcing politics into everything.Oh well, moving on.
>>11025822that doesn't sound like a transformers crossover at all though. ninja turtles had those.
>>11025830not at all, look at how his next post was "(the thing I'm doing) is what you're doing"no retard would do that, that's a troll.
>>11025815I hope so
>>11025831yeah, but we've seen that some of the crossovers have used existing transformers molds, which is what I'm expecting to happen.I'm betting we're getting a retool of a titan class as something.retooling the whale-mode trypticon into a horse and remolding the parts to look more castle-ish would do most of it.>>11025832>>11025830it's easy, look at the posts>>11025453>>11025755>>11025781>>11025827>buzzwords>railing about news articles>false flag opthis anon does this, he gets mad at someone and so he just baits people into politics so he can get the thread deleted. He's been around a long time.
>>11025808>he is some thigh and waist and arm proportion tweaks away from being fucking amazing.His major problem was that they decided to make him a Basic when he should have been a Deluxe - being a bigger size would have made for far better proportions in both modes. I'm still baffled as to why they picked the horse - a character you'd want others to be able to actually ride around on - to use in the smallest size class that was available. It still turned out to be a fun mold (that only saw 2 uses), but imagine what could've been if they had gone a little bigger...
>>11025846Supposedly the design process was someone wanting to make the least girly unicron possible. I don't think "works as a mount for other guys" was thought of.
>>11025840alright i'm going to ignore the second half of this because you seem to have reading comp issues, how exactly do you think they would retool a titan into a pony that opens up into a playset. I'm really curious.>whale-mode trypticonwhat?
>>11025846oh wow he looks great for a basicbut BM was all awkwardness all the time, I doubt that would have sold him>horseunicorn. they're in the goat-antelope family, and a lot smaller than horses.
>>11025857Goats and antelopes have two horns.
>>11025859horses have noneit's obviously a horned ungulate. it has split hooves and a tufted tail. The only reason they started making them horses is that the artists spraypainting ranbows onto stationery had a lot more horse references than possibly-extinct possibly-fictional bovids.the narwhal shows us that it's easy for two teeth to grow together into a spiral, it's silly to try to state for certain that two horns couldn't. Hell, you can make that happen yourself, with surgery on a goat.Amusingly there is also an extinct pig with a forehead horn, but that's more of the kind of horns a warthog has on its face, just a bone projection.
>>11025862Aren't these facing the wrong way to be goat horns?
>>11025856they gave him a 4th mode in titans return, since he doubled as storage for your titan masters, they made his tail open up like a mouth so it could be a monster.the fans called it whale mode because when the takara comics drew it, he was doing a belly flop that made him look like a whale.trypticon's base mode could be retooled so the helicopter pads stick up and become castle spires instead. Replace his dino head with a horse tail that doubles as the central spire, and replace the part of his monster head that pops open with a smaller horse head that basically would look like a statue in castle mode.
>>11025857>>11025862>they're in the goat-antelope family, and a lot smaller than horses.That's an Aurochs, not a Unicorn. Mythological Unicorns are specifically horned stallions who gore and consume the flesh of men and will trample women who are impure.
>Arguing over animals made from thousands of year old game of phone tag
>>11025866bovid horns can go any which way. bull horns curl forward all the time Plus look at that penis, that's the structure of a bovine penis. clear as day.. Actually.... is this just a bull in profile? I'm seeing what looks like hieroglyphs, and I don't think unicorns are native to egypt.>>11025877nn.. no... aurochs is to cows what wolf is to dogs (allegedly). unicorns have always, and I mean always, been what I said. find me a single source prior to the era of Lisa Frank trapper keeper folders where a unicorn looks anything like a horse.>consuming fleshthat's a karkadann. A clear description of a rhino, down to being calmed down by little birds.>trample womenthey impale women, and if they're virgins, it passes harmlessly through. you really need to study more.
>>11025880>go to look up the actual origins of the Unicorn>check wikipedia>see "not to be confused with"friends, we have arrived.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn
>>11025880well that's kind of the point. who the fuck knows what they were really describing, but it obviously wasn't a horse with a horn on it. nor has it been in any illustrations. nor is it in the transformer in question, to get us back on topic.>>11025876oh wow, that is very much whale-like. crazysauce. Actually it looks like "the Imprisoned" from zelda.but that's pretty heavy retooling, and you'd still have a biped. I seriously doubt they would consider that cost effective. especially since if it shared ANY parts, they would all be super greebly and not very "gir's' toy"ish.
>>11025884Well it is a stamp and it is not from Egypt, so it doesn't matter.
>>11025885even Lion fucked it up in the original movie.I bet they were wondering why transformers were fighting an evil unicorn
>>11025886for something retooled on this scale, the cost effectiveness comes fromA) rediculously shorter design time. Titan classes are worked on for over a year. This would cut it down to mere monthsB) knowing a lot more closely about shipping and material costs before the product is even developedC) knowing the response to play patterns before a product is soldEssentially, it would be the choice to ensure they don't make too many and having to liquidate (which is a problem with titan classes)The problem with the theory of them retooling a titan is... the price pointwhen it first leaked, the price point was something like 110 dollars, when titans were still releasing for 130. The 20 dollar difference could be explained a few ways. But then a price hike was announced for titans like, 2 weeks after the leak.but by now, titans have been raised again, now reaching 200So if the original price stays in tact, we're looking at probably a commander class sized set
>>11025888especially strange since Bicorns are a thing
>>11025900Which Atlus makes just a sprite/model edit of Unicorn instead of actually reflecting the original design because asset reuse.
>>11025904well, the "original" original had no horns at all, and didn't look like a horse, because it was a parody
>>11025907Exactly. A decision based on economy instead of authenticity.
>>11025899Doesn't it make more sense to just make a hollow pony, hinge it at the tail, and have it split in half to become a playseti mean they can't be that concerned over the details, but even if they were, are any extant titans really that good a 'base mode' that you can imagine running little ponies over? it's not very 'dollhouse' in the way a polly pocket type thing would be.>>11025900>>11025904>>11025907>>11025910what are we talkinabrat here
Lol I just bought six shot
>>11024563Cybertron from Cybertron-sei
>>11025919Seems more like Seibertron. The name for the planet is slightly different with the on the next episode for one of the shows even having a human struggle with it.
>>11025913A funny illustration of a beast that eats faithful husbands so it gets fat. In a duo with a skinny beast that eats faithful wives.
>>11025910I mean, we're talking 1994, cartridge based games, sprites being slight edits of others were often not just about the economy, it was about getting the product out on time. It's not like today, if you had to move a products release date back it cost thousands, sometimes millions.>>11025913this fat mofo
>>11025846let's fucking Go!!!
>>11025808>that said, I want a unicorn too.
>>11025928looks like a big dog to me.. and it sounds like you guys are talking about a videogame. I take it one featuring this mythical creature in name only.
>>11025951Stretching the meaning of dog.
>>11025951yes, a long running japanese RPG series, megami tensei.The super nintendo version, Shin Megami Tensei, had a demon unicorn as an enemyand they just swapped the color and drew 2 horns instead of one and called it a "bicorn"but a bicorn was a panther faced fat animal, not a horse, cause it was a parody.In ALL likelihood, they just thought they were making bicorns up.
>>11025957Looking at the other examples in the franchise, could have just been a minor entry without a picture showing it in a Japanese book about overseas monsters/myths with dubious bullshit the writer made up.
>>11025941a monkey riding a warthog might be the scariest possible combination. i'd play a videogame like that in a trice.
>>11025963How more powerful is a monkey than a meerkat?
>>11025957i had no idea that series went back to SNES.but yeah, that sounds like, uh, the Bicyclops joke from Yellow Submarine. I still use that in my shit all the time. And for extra points, I make it the Harryhausenesque two-eyed satyr cyclops from Angry Beavers
>>11025965like... 50 times.Honestly the only thing meerkats have going for them is that they are technically mongeese, one of the most badass animals on earth. But in the same way that a panda is technically a bear. as I am not made of bamboo, I know which enclosure I'd rather fall into.
>>11025973What if the panda knows kung-fu?
>>11025971Unrelated.
>>11025971It goes back to NES/famicom actually
>>11025974then he knows not to use it unless he needs to. and i'm not going to threaten him OR his dojo.
>>11025976did you have trouble following the path there or did you mean their bicorn was unconnected to the bicorne dog thing.
>>11025482They did make a gun Megatron in that one accessory pack with the Centurions, so they could just give him that. I can honestly see that being why he's gonna be a Leader class
>>11025984No. What you think it sounds like is unrelated to Bicorn. You should not bring it up.
>>11025977And before that it was a book.
>>11025949Head masters was unfortunately a show that was a head of its time.
>>11025990what?by being so bad it's near unwatchable?
>>11025994I'm guessing it is a joke on "ahead" with it being written as "a head" based on the subject.
>>11025986the suggestion is that the game was just riffing. so the example I brought up fits that, as a similar riff. Please don't comment if you have autism.
>>11025994I guess the joke went over your head.
>>11026000anon you're killing me.
>>11025684No worries, love me my C-listers and love for the tertiary folk>>11025696Eeeeee don't spoil the 40-year old comics, but yeah. I like all of th- I love C-listers, it's been weird.I'm glad you picked up some pretenders, hopefully for cheap, I only saw them for giga-deluxe prices despite the alleged/mentioned hatred for them. They are good and (somewhat) reliable frens...
>>11025999No, the riff things are more like making Mara in the form of a penis because used as a synonym for dick in Japanese or Decarabia appearing heavily like the aliens from Warning from Space.
>>11026000How many other head jokes can be made?
>>11026008I don't know, do we have a head count?
>>11026005Shit's like thirty some years old. Going to be expensive by default.

>>11026017The british days were really something. less formulaic, totally unexpected, and the songs were incredibly long. Mike McShane and Josie Lawrence had the kind of musical genius that puts Wayne Brady to shame. But the show really didn't rocket off into the annals until we got Ryan and Colin, god damn.

>>11026026My eyes are physically blurry from even before reading thisBut I think we'd probably agree that Drew Carey is the coolest and thinnest of the bunch and was the best at improvising and being poor>>11026039I'm getting old, eventually I can't give piggybacks or even activate spring-loaded gimmicks anymore
Oh no no no
>>11026049So both knees on Riot's copy gaved up?Righ now I think best way is to weaken spring and make connection in knee stronger.
>>11026049Can you spin the torso around to get the skirt out of the way?
>>11026005Yeah it's pretty nuts how the prices seem to have skyrocketed in the past 5-10 years. Luckily those price hikes don't seem to have reached my corner of the planet since most G1s still don't seem to go for all that much money, probably because the market is so small. Hell, just the other day I witnessed somebody grabbing a complete Overlord for 150 which is an absolute steal, even if he wasn't in the perfect shape.Likewise I grabbed Crossblades for a hair over 100, and I was shocked to see how much he goes for on ebay these days, he used to be a lot cheaper too.
>>11026049>Buy $200+ toy>Remove rachet>Post post op lack of resistant joint video on TwitterJust how much hatred do people have against Hasbro for them to do this?
>get GI Joe Soundwave>mandatory parts forming for the brushguard pieces>sure whatever>giant antennae only has one dedicated spot so it sticks out his back kibble like a huge tail>can't partsform it to his fucking shoulder so it'd be like a radio antennae to receive transmissionsThinking that whoever designed this knowledge of Soundwave was entirely "cool voice robotman who shot tapes from his chest"
>>11026049Has literally anybody other than riot had issues with the joints or is he just being an ass for attention again?
Just got my upgrade for ss night bird.I'll do a before/after when I'm finished installing.
>>11026107Feels more like one of the designers on the Joe team handled him.
>>11026254That's the line as a whole. I just find it weird that the Joe team is pretty big about making sure things fit for Classified, and modular accessories fits with a Joe's "you can customize your own", and then not include a hole the right side on the top of the torso for the antennae to relocate to.
>>11026107>>11026254>>11026280Yeah I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that the Joe TFs are wholly handled by the Joe team, not the Transformers team.
>>11026147A few more people are reporting it on social media and shit.I don't know how widespread it actually is but everyone seems to be taking it for granted that every Tidal Wave's knees will break eventually.
https://hasbropulse.com/collections/hasbro-pulse-power-days-sale?refinementList%5Bvendor%5D%5B0%5D=Transformers&refinementList%5Bin_stock%5D=trueWhole lot of new figures added in.
Got a foursome of TFs for £40- ERcee, ER Wheeljack, Core Soundwave and Netflix Mirage.Wheeljack is absolutely perfect IMO. No complaints whatsoever, about as good a CHUG Wheeljack as we're ever gonna get.Mirage I'm surprised by, I was expecting to hate him from photos but in hand he's actually a lot of fun.Soundwave is very cool, his hips are a bit loose but that's fixable.ERcee is ERcee. I won't complain as she's good custom fodder mind you, and I already have a plan for her.
>no new sixshot figure
>>11026376>Wheeljack is absolutely perfect IMOYou think so? I can't get over how dumpy and weird he looks. His arms especially are so flat and look really strange when they're bent
>>11026448The arms I will concede are a touch awkward but honestly I can't find myself faulting him as a figure. His shortcomings mostly derive from the character design rather than the actual execution if that makes sense; I would have liked another gun but the proportions don't bother me honestly. Wheeljack isn't the most elegant/heroic looking Autobot ever, and I feel like this figure captures him pretty well. Also the transformation is really clever, there's no faux-parts and he articulates pretty well. I'd have liked an extra elbow joint I suppose.
>>11026039ahh so that's why the tail is like that and where it is. it makes a perfect saddle while riding him.
>>11026041>thinnest>best at improvising and being poorthat.. you're talking about Aisha.
>>11026107i still want the ravage that came with him
Anyone here get ss86 Scrapheap and Junkheap? Can Junkheap still transform if you give it Scrapheaps legs? I just preffer the exhaust pipe look for the legs?
>>11026050>>11026059>>11026147>Retards who can't even comprehend it's showing the waist part get's in the way and can't even allow a 90 degree bend at hip
>>11026050I mean Riot/Pixelmaster is retarded and gets what he deserves being friends with athena, that whole group are annoying chink faggots
>>11026468I really like him too, anon. I'm really quite partial to his Slicer redeco in particular.
So the Hasbro team is promising reveals tomorrow, Wednesday, and two exclusive reveals on Thursday Any guesses?
>>11027059Legacy United Wave 4, Gobots recolor pack, dead guy pack two, Another Reactivate two-pack that was designed a while ago, and Lego Bumblebee. Shows a promo image for the Hasbro side of the Hotwheels/Transformers crossover that has a couple cars and mostly shadowed out robot modes with glowing eyes.
>>11027059One of those exclusives will be whoever's on Straxus' box.
>>11027096Xaaron/Flame two pack
>>11027104>XaaronWonder if they will just use a toy-head Megatron and call it a day, or have a new sculpt.
>>11027081who is in wave 4. do we know yet?
>>11027151SureshotG2 BreakdownArmada WheeljackCosmos (refresh)Ramjet (refresh)Tarn (refresh)OverchargeGalaxy Shuttle (refresh)and maybe core Dinobot too, if I were to guess
>>11027108I could buy Xaaron being the last hurrah for the Siege Megatron before SS86.
Here's your seeker bro
>>11027178>Galaxy Shuttle (refresh)
>can't even attach the guns to her armsThis line must have zero budget left holy shit
>>11027415>>11027422The wing greebles are ugly. I suspect another Shelfwarmer after the first wave.
>>11027104What's the reacatio0n going to be when it's something else?
>>11027178>only one wholly unused mold>the rest are reissues/repaintsodd timeline
>>11027415>>11027422She looks alright, I need a Slipstream and the mold is meant to be pretty good. I'll probably get her.
>>11027436I'm down for about anything, even Blaster again. >>11027178>>11027437what's really shameless on my part is Ill be buying Ramjet and Cosmos again even though I already have them >>11027418was he hard to get? He drowned in my area and was glutting Ross last Christmas.
>>11027415>>11027422wow its nothing, just like the art they showed last stream. At least I wasn't expecting anything, but it is a shame, this is even less of a remold than the LG figure
>another fucking repaintAt this point we'll be lucky if 86 Prime is a new mold and not a ER repaint
>>11027415>>11027422Absolutely awful.
Takara always wins baby
>>11027452G-gun storage?
>>11027454If only they didn't cast the new parts in clear plastic. I only transformed mine once, not brave enough to try again.
>>11027454reminds me I gotta track down LG slipstream now. I was holding off to see if maybe the Legacy figure would be a good enough stand in for cheap but, well... Hopefully some tards start offloading their Takara Slipstreams for the shitty legacy version and it gets cheaper
>>11027454TFs without noses are disturbing.
>>11027454I have the Combiner Hunters Windblade and it's not a great mold. It's not completely awful but it's pretty fiddly and kinda a mess to pose.
>>11027422Even if the Legacy WB mold didn't have that awful torso, I sure as am not getting this with the awful head. Completely missed the point with it. Way too much detail and crap, while forgetting the helmet wasn't meant to resemble starscream that closely. If they wanted to make the head more G1, they went about it all wrong.
>>11023636Primus, they could do an armada/energon unicron, animated omega, energon omega
>>11027475Depressing, that gap between the pegs and head is terrible.
>>11027454This figure was never good either. There has never been a good Slipstream.>>11027475Yeah... I'm sticking with Titans Return.
>every new united figure looks like shitwhat the hell is going on
>>11027475hmmmmmm.... It's both better than I expected and worse than it could have been. It's a way more extensive retool of Skullgrin than I was expecting it to be, but Siege Impactor would have made a better base mold. Tank mode looks insanely stupid, but in a kinda funny way so I'm not too upset or anything.
>>11027096>One of those exclusives will be whoever's on Straxus' box.That's comic Rodimus and Blaster
>>11027415Slipstream? Nah, Form Drag.
>>11027490If it's so extensive, they should have just gone for a new mold. Quake would be easy fodder for reuse, and his transformation isn't that complez either. Thr fact it's extensive and still looks like crap just makes this worse.
>>11027490>>11027494>His tank is more of a Sherman speeder tank with attributes of the abrams, mostly details.Turns out you can just say words without any meaning these days
>>11027500Looks more to me that the current team doesn’t know what vehicles are
>>11027500Sure Mark, I believe you
>>11027508But my tommy gun don't!
>>11027422>>11027415good fucking lord I can forgive a lot but this is unbearable
>>11027508Mark also says>Colors and look are accurate to his character persona.
>>11027454The base mold (Windblade) was designed by Lenny so no it's another lemon. Him and Sam need to be fired pronto from Hasbro.
>>11027514Magenta>>11027508Ugly brick red-brown
>>11027508It's so narrow too, wtf is this team
>>11027475>>11027508>the nearly 8 years old TR Hardhead redeco still looks better Fucksakes guys
>>11027415>>11027508Yikes
>>11027508Either that turret can't rotate or it's god awful looking when it does
Miss me yet?
>>11027508The bot form was lazy, but this is just offensive to the eyes. That gap from his chestplate should've gotten the entire team fired.
>>11027475>>11027508This looks really really fucking bad... I wish I picked up TR Quake instead of KrokI also refuse to believe that it cripples the budget to give basic balljoints for the microscopic targetmastershttps://files.catbox.moe/pwlbq3.png
>>11027525Aren't you the stickers guy and designer of two of Generations' bronze medal lemon?
Would recommend hopping on TR Quake if you haven't. He's going to be bumped up in price now that the new mold is fucking shit.
>>11027527>first appearance: right hereI do not remember which issue this Marvel bio was from
>>11027475This doesn't even look like Quake. The colors and shapes are all wrong. What the fuck is this?>>11027508Anyone still buying Transformers from Hasbro after this needs to shoot themselves.
>>11027534>Anyone still buying Transformers from Hasbro after this needs to shoot themselves.Does it count if I already pre-ordered Straxus and the Doom n' Destruction redecos?
>>11027529>>11027525Who can forget>We need to replace paint apps with the worst fucking stickers imaginable because muh geewun
Slipstream looks awful but I think Quake looks fine.
>>11027508The robot mode looks good, but this fucking tank mode just looks like an ugly lump.
>>11027543The tank is inexcusably awful. Why are the treads silver, but the barrel is black? Why is there a whole inch from the chestplate sitting flush? Why Spider-Man blue and red?
>>11027543I feel most will be ok with Quake but anyone wanting the G1 look is going to be unhappy with this. It's a weird fuck up considering they gave Needlenose a wholly new mold and TMs where Quake is this weird recycling of Skullcrusher but they gave him new Target Masters. I feel most would have rather had a new mold that look like >>11027514 >>11027527 and they recycled the target masters of Nose.
>>11027541To be fair he stopped that after POTP
>>11027527>it cripples the budgetIt wouldn't cripple the budget, but it would cripple profits for CEOs and shareholders who think line must go up, always, forever.>>11027545>The robot mode looks goodPeople like you are why we got here in the first place. That robot mode is shit.
>>11027552The robot mode is fine, just not what Quake should look like.
>>11027549Quake AND Spinister. And if you want to get technical, Scoop back in the day.
>people on forums already going "M-maybe the lighting in Quake's stock photos is just bad!"
>>11027553>The robot mode is fine,No. It looks like shit either way. The shapes and colors are too wrong to be slavish G1 Quake, and judged on it's own merits, it just looks boring and dumb as shit. Nobody would see that toy robot on a shelf and want to buy it. It's fucking CRAP.Buy YAAAAaaaaAAAyyyAYYyy!!! ANNKLELEEEE TILTSZZ!!!!!11
>>11027545Agreed. Robot mode is adequate, but the tank mode, woof. The tracks are far too close together and the whole thing is a gappy mess. Good thing I don't really care about Quake because he makes Skullgrin's tank mode look good.
>>11027557You can't see ankle tilts in the box, so not a selling point in stores.
Wait, if Slipstream is supposed to be a G1 version, why is she a deluxe instead of a voyager like her teammates?
>>11027558>Robot mode is adequatePlease explain to me how any of that is "adequate". It doesn't look like G1 Quake at all, and on its own, it's just a blocky pile of shit in clashing colors. No part of this says "adequate" to me as a Transformers fan or as a toy enthusiast.>>11027559>he thinks people make the decisions to buy these in stores90% of Hasbro's market are people who know about these toys as soon as they're leaked and plan whether or not to buy them months in advance. The universal ankle tilts are just one of the many excuses Hasbro is using to keep plastering a $24.99 price tag on these boxes.
>>11027562Cyberverse version.
>>11027562It's supposed to be Cyberverse not G1Unfortunately it fails at being both
>>11027568Spoilers: it's a shit Cyberverse Slipstream too.
>>11027564>it's just a blocky pile of shit in clashing colors.TBF, the original Quake was kinda that anyway.FWIW I'm not defending the figure, it looks like absolute shit, just that the robot mode is the less awful of the two modes. I think he kinda works as generic Decepticon crowd filler but I won't be buying him either way. I'm just glad he's more or less a complete Z-lister.
>>11027568>>11027569>I used og Starscream’s head sculpt as a go by to create the sculpt for the head, but I did add the ears to make it a lil more unique. What the fuck Mark?
>>11027520Kind of an unfair comparison because the TR Hardhead mold was designed to actually look good. Modern shit is designed to look... like nothing. It's meant to have a robot mode that is an indecipherable, cuboid mass with poor color blocking and minimal detail in order to maximize cartoon accuracy. No part of that makes a good toy. Couple it with a design philosophy that gives zero shits about alt modes, and you've got a perfect reciple to completely destroy everything inherently appealing about Transformers beyond the mindless consumption of plastic goods.
>>11027571>the original Quake was kinda that anyway.Except both the G1 toy and G1 artwork look better than the new toy.We've finally hit the level of cope where "hurrr, but it's SUPPOSED to look bad" can't even hold up anymore because shit is actively looking worse than G1.
>>11027574The new one doesn't even have the lightning bolts, does it?
>>11027576Like I say, I'm not defending the toy. I think it looks awful and the TR one looks a billion times better.
>>11027574>It's meant to have a robot mode that is an indecipherable, cuboid mass with poor color blocking and minimal detail in order to maximize cartoon accuracy.Your strawman doesn't work in this instance since both characters aren't from the cartoon
>>11027460It's the teal you gotta worry about u fortunately, I've heard from multiple accounts it doesn't hold up to stress. The jet mode frankly sucks from Windblade though, so I'm fine never transforming mine imo. I do wish I could transfer the head to this new one now, it's really the only problem I have with it, but I ain't risking that clear ball socket.
>>11027570Legacy Cyberverse really is a ghetto for questionable looking girls with Windblade lacking the elements distinct to that version but at least not being too far from the source. Chromia, Shadow Striker, and Slipstream though. I wouldn't be surprised if Cyberverse Arcee and Cyberverse Clobber happen at this rate. Don't think they would bother with the other girl Seekers outside of a four-pack.
>>11027541>We need to replace paint apps with the worst fucking stickers imaginable because muh geewunIs that what he said in an interview or something? Obviously he was lying. The reason for stickers was clear as day; they're cheaper. Budget constraints became a big issue for Hasbro in 2010-2017 and they were desperate to pinch pennies everywhere. Then Siege started and we saw a price hike, which is why stickers went away.Also, stickers weren't on deluxe class; only voyager and leader, because profit margins shrink as size class goes up. But honestly, if this is what we're getting, I would unironically prefer a 17 dollar deluxe with stickers.
>>11027584They saw all the Prime fans cry like Hasbro ran over their dogs with Bulkhead and Arcee and decided they needed to show them what real suffering looked like, and picked the Cyberverse fans as the victims.
>>11027581Strawman works perfectly because Hasbro is intent on producing nothing but scarecrows.
>>11027603That is what everyone thought, but then it turned out in an interview that stickers were actually more expensive to produce somehow. Maybe because they were factory-applied instead of being on a sheet.
>>11027508>Gets dedicated mold, looks like a halfassed custom.Might get it on sale.
>>11027612It recycles parts from Skullgrin. But it only loosely tanks.
>>11027508They will really re-use ANY mold, won't they? And somehow they made the tank worse.It looks even more like a stack of plastic plates with a gun on top than Skullgrin.
>>11027454Not a high bar, even the basic Cyberverse toy looked better.
>>11027617A straight repainted Impactor would've been a better option.
>>11027618The only toy of Slipstream that actually is designed to look like Slipstream.
>>11027623I think besides the obvious new head and targetmasters and whatnot, I'd try to retool the torso so the chest plate folds under the turret instead of sitting on top, but that seems like a much smaller amount of work compared to what they did with the Skullgrin mold, it's really weird that THAT's what they went with as a base compared to a mold that's already much closer to what you want, and it's not like the Impactor mold has had a lot of uses besides like, other versions of Impactor.
>>11027623This does not look good desu, very much an Archer-Era new head and nothign else reuse. But if it got a fraction of the remolding the Skullgrin mold did to accomodate Quake I'm sure it could have made a better figure than we're getting.
>>11027651>very much an Archer-Era new head and nothign else reuseWhich still looks better than what we got.
>>11027623What's up with some people being blind to non-primary colors? Is it like a lead paint thing? Or does it come from consooming so much slop intended for children that your brain literally begins to filter out anything that wouldn't be on a playskool toy?
>>11027661It is just an edit of a photo. Getting the values to match instead of just the hues is too much work for zero pay.
Fuck accuracy, Markclonus will do what Markclonus wants.
>>11027663Then what's Hasbro's excuse for the real one? They got the colors right during Titans Return, but couldn't do it in (current year)?
>>11027699Don't know. Maybe they looked at his original box art and guessed what his colors were from that.
>>11027689what accuracy?this wasn't intended as an accurate retool
>>11027689Mark was a mistakeWe unironically need Chad Warden back
>>11027570.....Why does that give me jhiaxus legacy vibes?
>>11027709Its being sold as a "cyberverse universe" toy, if they're not going to use anything from the cyberververse design, the box should say "lazzy marks slipstream".
>>11027721Cyberverse just is used as codeword for dumping grounds. None of the ones labeled Cyberverse are based on those ones.
>>11027723Have you even bought a transformer released this year?
>>11027556corporate cocksuckers get what they deserve
>>11027729could you blame him if he said no?
>>11027729That at least has the basis of Animated Optimus Prime, just loses all the flavor of the original.
>>11027104>>11027108all 3 so far have had their fight pose be based on a cover of the character from the US marvel runso likely, we're looking for someone from the US marvel run that has a cover with a fist like that, most likely a crouched/ready to fight pose
>>11027552>It wouldn't cripple the budget, but it would cripple profits for CEOs and shareholders who think line must go up, always, forever.Sounds like something else should get crippled instead.
Why did they go through the "effort" of remolding and still fuck it up?Is it bad I wanna just buy Quake, take the targetmasters and return him if he super sucks?
>>11027737the point of the post is saying that the universe is printed on the box
I'm really hoping TFOne is a good movie cause those are some of the only toys I'm actually looking forward to in the near future. most everything looks surprisingly cool and fun compared to shit like >>11027415 did they just move all the good designers over to that stuff or what.
>>11027769I'm hopping it's good because I feel the TF line is nearing an end of sorts and without fresh blood it's going the way of Classifieds where it just lives online and that's at best.
>>11027769The trailer was fucking abysmal lol it has zero chance of being good
>>11027801Even movies that are good have shit trailers. Trailers are bad for >90% of movies.
>>11027804This, John Wick, the first Kung Fu Panda, and Drive had dog shit trailers that sold the movie on a tone it didn't have. On the flip, the first few 2007 Transformers trailers gave you no warning of how cringe inducing Shia and company were going to be.
>>11027568Upgrade kit not included, but recommended
>>11027813Why not just build your own Slipstream at that point?
>>11027801Apparently the audiences at Annecy gave it a standing ovation
>>11027816>build your own
>>11027816Wouldn't surprise me if someone does, this g1 version looks better than purple windblade.
>>11027422>>11027452>>11027475>>11027508TR/LG Chads win once again
>>11027835It looks like what a G1 Slipstream should be like, but the female Transformers in the show were not that wide.
>>11027842G1 "Strika" and "Glyph" were wider, they're background characters on 5 faces of darkness p4.
>>11027849Pink sure, but the blue one ain't.
>>11027508>Tank has no frontFucking hell
>>11027415looks okay to me.>>11027422that is odd. but at least no hollow limbs.>>11027452not a great plane, no... but i've seen worse.
I don't like Slipstream's head, so here's my attempt at improving it.
>>11027475does that minicon have a cape holy shit
>>11027912Right definitely looks more like the Slipstream is should be. Although I'm not sure if smirk is the right expression for her. Too bad Transformers doesn't do the alternate faces thing.
>>11027919Here's the smirkless one then.
>>11027751The classic deco helps a ton.
>>11027932Wow, that is way better. What were they doing?
>>11027932So you think is going to be one of those times they show the original drawing and the colors made more sense than the actual version released?
>>11027932Can you make these little spots grey too like the chest vents?
>>11027508>>11027937I don't hate him, but I can wait. Said the same about Needlenose, but haven't seen him in second hand stores yet.
>>11027937Sure.>>11027935Doub it, but maybe Takara makes a random accurate repaint.
>>11027952Fuuuuuck that's good
>>11027952Does anybody actually give a fuck about those targetmaster bricks? I'd prefer some regular weapons that are just facsimiles of the targetmasters like on Spinister if they're not going to bother giving them any articulation. Maybe that way they could spend the extra budget on making the figure a little better.
>>11027104>>11027436Flame from GE Megatron and Xaaron from Quake
>>11027960The base robot is Skullgrin, so getting better is hopeless. Might have worked for Pointblank though.
>>11027935>>11027952This will have the same effect as metalhawk, anime deco then a toy deco
>>11027987This fails at being a fiction colors for any Quake.
>>11027508That's... almost a tank. It just needs something on the front.
fuck mark and all corporate cocksuckers who eat this slop wave after wave. i'm reading so many posts starting with>it's not that bador>it could have been worsethis brand is inundated with diehard consoomer cuckolds it's not even funny. they just buy everything regardless of quality like good little hasdronesnever liked mark or any of his team since his first coked out stream appearance and he shouldn't have lasted this long
>>11027960Targetmasters are neat enough when they're actual figures. The Takara titans return ones, the WFC ones, those are fine. The Legacy targetmasters are a disgrace.
>>11027996Something got cut because of budget, something else than his deco.
>>11028011that's what we call "We left you a hole, china. please fill it and charge 25 dollars"
>>11028007Don't worry. Warden is returning to save us.
>>11028007>never liked mark or any of his team since his first coked out stream appearance and he shouldn't have lasted this longSame and everything good thats come out in the last 5 years was designed by Takra employees like 10 years ago. The first time I saw Mark’s art I knew he was trash and it made me wonder if actual dicksucking is how you get a job at Hasbro. They are definitely sitting on tons of G1 designs and just trickling them out. Also when Mark takes credit for “working on” something he most likely altered the colors in photoshop
>>11027952Those targetmasters unironically look like some shit from Dollar Tree or a gumballMachine
You guys, don't you read these threads? Things being accurate is bad and evil, Mark is a gigachad because he makes toys intentionally not accurate and just for his own ego.
>>11028035Mark's vision sucks.
>>11027729That one does look like Animated Optimus, though.
And lol, Mark already on the defensive and posting more to his instagram>For todays reveal, I wanted to make sure you got to see the final product photos with our awesome Legacy United background. But nowwwww, I couldn’t wait to get some shots of her myself, even if the colors are not final. I wanted to make sure to show off all the positions for the null ray blasters, a decepticon seeker must! [sunglasses emoji]>So please, do yourself a favor and scan through all the photos. I saw most of you were looking for a voyager scale to be equal with Starscream and I have noted that to the team. But, BUT, this cyberverse styled Slipstream hits hard in hand. If nothing else the colors, the colors, ohhhh the glorious tones of color, what a symphony to the [eyes emoji] here! I actually dig the petite scale difference with ol SS.>If there is somthing I learned here on @instagram is its the fandom for Transformers is not only a lovable passionate group, but everyone is extremely opinionated! [lmao emoji] Its near impossible to satisfy everyones wants and needs, you can only go with your gut instinct in the end and [fingers crossed emoji] hope everyone sees what you were at least trying to accomplish!>Big shouts out to Koki san over in Takara Tomy who worked on this glorious tool! The articulation and transformation is solid, and please take a good look at her backside cause its looking just as good as the front! That super sonic cybertronian influenced jet design tho, it just screams hypersonic speeds beating all sorts of astrocycle tests!>You can see the main differences in final product will be the teal color is metallic in the final product but its NOT metallic here. Also, the canopy is tinted teal in final product but NOT here, it is clear, so for final product, AGAIN, metallic teal and teal tinted cockpit!
>>11028041See >>11027761
>>11028042>Shillbot has a cope meltdownTypical really
>>11027751I don't mind the sculpting/reuse but the colors and general deco are bizarre. Were they afraid it would otherwise be too similar to TR Quake? I don't get the color choices. >>11027932 looks great.
>>11028043What is your point? Prime Universe Bulkhead is More like the movie Hound than Animated Bulkhead outside the head somehow.
>>11028046>What is your point?See >>11028042>this cyberverse styled SlipstreamThe point is they're seeling her as a Cyberverse update, (just like that Animated Optimus), yet Mark decided to ignore the Cyberverse design even on the only retooled part, the damn head. See >>11027689
>>11028042>His main selling point are the colors, which are unrelated to the mold choice itself
>>11027952If it looked like this it would be my favorite figure in Legacy.
>>11028053>claims it's it's the Cyberverse version>just literally Windblade's body with a new head>head isn't even Slipstream's but Starscream's "with ears".
I'm getting nu Slipstream only because I believe an upgrade for her nulrays and head will get made that'll make me happy.
>>11028058Inb4 the 2025 Target box set has Cyberverse Nova Storm.
>>11028042I mean i’d half ass dumb fem bots that only the troon community on twitter cares about too.
>>11028061Which one is the lie?
>>11028068The part where I buy nu Slipstream
>>11028067We know, Mark, you showed us you're very good at half assing a lot of things.
>>11027508Oh jesus christ that's awful. How did it ever get that bad? You can't even be angry at that, it's fucking hilarious.
>>11027527>Tiptop was a fake natty fitness influencerMany such cases, I love little bits of lore like this.
>>11028046you guys are really struggling with reading comprehension huhit's not about the figure it's about the label
>>11028087The label is fake. They would have just called it Slipstream and ignored putting one there if it was year one.
>>11028058I'm not going to pretend I don't like that head.
>>11028082I'm glad you like them, have a janny in honour of the garbage that Hasbro's peddlinghttps://files.catbox.moe/6t3cil.png
>TR Highbrow visibly yellowed>Classics Ramjet from 2007 still pristine white
>>11028102Yeah that would have been terrible. I think this new one currently has my favourite Slipstream head.
>>11028061You know, this does remind me that I don't believe any of the recent fembots fot any alternate chests or torso to make them more accurate, even though a bunch if then needed it:-Legacy Arcee's torso can be removed (so every version, including road rocket coukf have a better torso-So can Elita's/Minerva Is Winblade's torso easy to remove?-
>>11027952It's almost maddening how much better this looks
>>11027952I bet we'll get a deco like this somewhere down the line, probably as part of some multi-pack or something. Otherwise, it looks like customizers have their work cut out for them.
Wonder if passing over the old Ultra Class Slipstream because of "knees are important" was a mistake.
>>11028128We got Takara Mainframe, so who knows.
>>11028058They really couldn't engineer the guns to attach to her arms somehow?
>>11028132They did >>11028042
>>11028058So they added a chin strip and then painted it the same color as the rest of the face? Is there a reason it just looks like the Earthspark seeker head design though, because I do not like it at all lol
>>11026685Anyone?
>>11028112Third party upgrades are dead outside of 3D prints from China and DNA design.
>>11028135Oh I see it. not great but better than nothing.
>>11028137Future proofing it if they want to make the boy seekers from Cyberverse later by painting it since the males had a "goatee". The shape of the head isn't like the Earthspark seekers though.
Still waiting for Sunstorm
>>11028143what were they before that? That's all I've ever known.
>>11028148Hasbro decided to respect the origin have it be an e-HOBBY exclusive release. They never told Takara this.
>>11028146The ES twins need to be big.
>>11028167You need to give those custom heads a quick acetone bath, looks like its made of sand.
>>11028167Would be cool, but seeing how they went with the toyline while it was relevant, seems unlikely.
>>11028170Resin printing has been available for years, anon.
>>11028180I remember thing the original Starscream looked wonky, but this version seems neat. Maybe the black is slimming.
>>11028143so nothing has changed, good to know
Lmao the turret actually turns
>>11027508what the fuck dude
>>11028197The bios also say that either gun can sub in for the turret gun, but this might be a bit too much for the toy
>>11028197I can't help but feel the tank would be way more palettable if the treads were on the sides instead of being stuffed underneath everything
>>11027568They're calling it Cyberverse but it reminds me more of the old mobile Legends/Timelines design.Especially the cat ears.
>>11028223Well to Transformers Legacy, the line where the everything is made up and the universes don't matter.
>>11028197Commentary:>Oh my my my these bad boys are coming atchya and the autobots are gonna be in a world of pain. Welcome a powerful double targetmaster whose thunderous blast shakes the earth, Legacy United Quake has come to drop some tiptop heat [fire emoji]!>My homey Tomo san from Takara has just been knocking it out the park with these earth shattering partials! He led the way on this dude and I played a little catch up when it came to my lil target master darlings[cat laughing with tears of joy emoji]!>Its wild how these colors come off so bright in photos but in hand the deep saturated tones melt your heart. His face sculpt really sings up close and the details on the new molded Target Masters make this guy a must have. He has multiple blast compatible weapons and movable gun barrel turret.>Being based off of skullgrin makes this dude the perfect size to complete his target master gang! More reveals tomorrow, Im already exhausted after one day! [smile with sweatdrop emoji]
>>11028197The turret is fucking FLAT.
>>11028241He says "sings" a lot.
>>11028229It's weird because aside from the vtols, it could totally pass for a chug version of the Aligned design.They could have given her missiles instead of rays and called it Prime Universe Slipstream.
>>11028248Most Slipstreams are based on the same Animated Slipstream, so it is natural there are overlapping elements.
>>11028249>Most Slipstreams are based on the same Animated SlipstreamNot Cyberverse, it was more G1 seeker inspired.Hence the oddity of them using that designation when they had like three better ones to choose from.
>>11027475>>11027508They're totally going to redeco this into Guzzle.
>>11028275Seems legit image.
>>11028249>>11028254find the differences.
>>11028197the original altmode was garbage too though right
>>11028275It's not Guzzle without his iconic hollowed out flesh pockets
>>11028288Lipstick, different kind of wings, head shape, shoulder pads are one part and higher up, different chest.
>>11028197Bet it's on the same 5mm peg as Skullgrin's
Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus or Legends Ultra Magnus
>>11028275that would make sense cause the og Guzzle looker dumb as fuck too
>>11028275I was thinking with that port in front, it was going to be a Brawl >>11028011
>>11028197Holy shit, that's bad, even by shitty cashgrab retool standards.
The nose cone in Dreadwings transformation is the most overdesigned piece of shit.
>>11027914im trying to square how cool that is with how lame it is that they can't move....
The retards on TFW also hate Slipstream but because she's too feminine and doesn't use the explicitly male Voyager mold
>>11028328>he retards on TFW also hate Slipstream but because she's too feminine and doesn't use the explicitly male Voyager moldUh, thanks for sharing?
>>11028241Quake's colors look darker here.
>>11028328Frank's gonna freak!
>>11028292The OG just turned into a basic bitch tank. It's why this one is so dissapointing. It's a simple design so fucking it up just feels surreal. They also have decent framework with a new version by using the existing Siege Impactor as a base.
>>11028328Both versions of Slipstream people think of are the same height as the other seekers, so it definitely is an issue for scale.
>>11028241Pictured on the left: A significantly better toy.Putting it next to Siege Spinister is so vain. Does this faggot really think he was going to get people to replace their TR Quakes with this piece of shit? How does he not feel embarrassed on a fundamental level about his pathetic engineering?
>>11028346Yeah, there was no reason for another Quake. If they want to wrap up teams, how about the Autobot Targetmasters?
>>11028351this is my only Quakewhy the fuck isn't there a transformers cereal?
>>11028351Sureshot is next year I think.
>>11028357Until they cancel him again.
>>11028346On the right too desu
>just impulse bought another toy (rid prime)help me transbros, i said to myself i'm content with my collection but i couldn't let this deal goi should sell one, i don't want more than 10 pieces
>>11028382Are you going to sell me something cool for cheap? That will change my advice for you.
>>11028328They knew it was going to be a repaint, are they seriously still bitching?
>>11028385well, i'm planning to sell a leader optimus for fairly cheap, multiple big optimuses on the same shelf may not get along well
>>1102838210 is not that many transformers. it sounds like you just have your favorites? that is the best way to go.>>11028389ohh too many optimi. yes yes that makes sense.
>>11028389Just have one stand on the shoulders of another. For great good.
>>11022919you've heard of catdog, now get ready for...
>>11028392Dino-3-some!
>>11028391a burly lumberjack sitting on the shoulders of a burly firefighter, not gay at all
>>11028397Transformers don't have dicks, so even combining isn't gay.
>>11028399Yeah that's just multiple guys turning into a bigger guy.[spoiler]Energon was pretty gay when you think about it tho, not that I'm complaining about it[/spoiler]
>>11028405Fuck, keep forgetting spoilers work differently here
>>11028399Waspinator does.
>>11028397homies give homies uppies when called upon
>>11028407An unmanly one that the animal he copied uses for laying eggs or attacking depending on the species. Best to not think about it.
>>11028415>>11028407nothing to sting about. a stinger is a vagina. a weaponized vagina.
>>11028415Nah, the wasp doesn't have a dick, but Waspinator does since Rattrap kicked him in it once. Balls anyway, but he wouldn't have balls without a dick and we saw from the X-ray that Blackarachnia has a vagina and fallopian tubes etc.
>>11028275The biggest shame of a truly bad mold is that every announced repaint and retool may as well just be the sound of a flushing toilet
>>11028419Does that imply beast wars cybertronions do have genitalia?
>>11028421Yep.
>>11028382many TF collectors are actually just addicted to finding 'deals' and buying things to fill the void inside them. you will very often find them mentioning or bragging about the final dollar count before or I the same sentence celebrating their 'score' or 'find'very low behaviour honestly, just impulse gratification. nigger tier evenbuy what you like but don't buy something just because its there and/or its cheap
>>11028423lol opposite pole of racial stereotypes there, meine freund. assuming you meant it raciallyBut yeah, deals feel good, and you can feel pride in it. Things you had to pay out the ass for, it never stops hurting. it is the highest of behavior. You're thinking of looting, I think. Or begging, or getting it for free for something that happened to someone a long time ago.
>>11022919oh cool, hot shot with jolt is back on pulse. Glad I have at least one way to get a modern minicon, finally, just too bad the only other thing I wanted was the decepticon soldier. Hoping they restock the star seekers soon, going to walmarts for these sounds awful.
>>11028419You get hurt even if you get kicked in the stomach. That is inconclusive at best.
>>11028424>anons come look how little shekels I paid for this toyfaggot>>11028425this isn't your bloggo back go bloat the TFW boards with posts like these
>>11028432>Spending money instead of just stealing ngmi
Generations Thunderwing being only slightly taller than Siege Barricade is funny and I think it should remain his canon height.
>>11028441That only works if his smaller body is one of those human-sized robots.
>>11028275Dammit. The whole point of Guzzle is the Abrams tank. It doesn't count if the vehicle mode is shit and looks as much like an Abrams as Sideburn does a Dodge.
Still to be revealed tomorrow and Thursday: >Armada Galvatron>Netflix Soundwave with Three Cassettes>Animated Motormaster>Toy Colors Metlahawk>We Have Missing Link At Home Optimus Prime>Core Energon Galvatron>Whatever they were going to show for Rock Trike's repaintPlace your bets
>>11028445I am 100% on board with this.
>>11028450they'll all be shit and these entitled cunt designers will write it off and claim creative liberty
>>11028453Some of those are just recolors, so the will about as expected instead of shit.
>>11028450Metalhawk and Motormaster will be Wednesday. Armada Galvatron and Soundwave will be Thursday.Optimus Prime will be Thursday. They will mention that they secretly showed it off in a video. The core class guys will not be actually shown off now.
>>11028339underrated post
>>11028432Kill yourself faggot
>>11028450>Toy Colors MetalhawkI still don't know who asked for this. If you need to have a Voyager repaint, why not do Targetmaster Scourge in toy colors?
>>11028388There's somebody going on a giant rant about how disgusting it is that Slipstream uses a slender body instead of a male one
>>11028470They already did toy color Scourge. Called Sweep.
>>11028472More people are on about how it doesn't look like Slipstream.
>>11028458these retards can't even do that right, see scourgethe idiots leading the fucking idiots over there since legacy began
>>11028470it's impressively stupid to refresh a pegwarmer which I picked up on 60% clearancebetween this and how awful skullgrin and bludgeon are they must want to permanently kill pretenders at retail
>>11028382turns out the seller made a mistake with the price, the purchase was cancelled and now it's listed at 10xmy wallet is safe haha
i would sell off 65% of my collection to keep Quake
>>11028450>deluxe decepticon repaint with new head monday>deluxe decepticon retool tuesdayIt'll be metalhawk to balance out the dem to autobot ratio, then animated motormaster
>>11028042An ugly retool of Windblade doesn't deserve an entire essay lmao
>>11028480i hate when that happens. walmart does it a lot.
>>11028382GOOBAGABOOGOOBAGABOO ONE OF USONE OF US
>New quake>Tank looks like assI guess Titan return really is the peak of deluxe class figure design
>>11028504>Warden-era toy beats out a LegaSHIT designpottery
>>11028484to be honest it's more like I'd sell the 10% that I already want to get rid of
nonnef announced he's already got a slipstream conversion kit designed, so there's that
>>11028479he might actually look good now, at least
>>11028612half the fucking figure will have to be replaced
>>11028352There is one actually, with the Evergreen designs. My local Spar's US import shelf has it all the time.
>>11028450I'm awaiting the bitter disappointment of Galvatron somehow not having Leader-1
>>11028419I mean, you can still hurt a chick by kicking her in the crotch, lack of balls be damned. A hard enough blow to any part of the body is always going to do some damage.>>11028421>Does that imply beast wars cybertronions do have genitalia?I think it was stated somewhere that the beast modes most definitely do, seeing as how they're a genetic copy of living (or formerly living) animals even with the liberties taken by some of the Predacons.The reformatted Beast Machines characters most certainly do in both modes, though - they aren't wearing skin suits anymore and are genuine cyborgs, and the whole reason The Oracle/Vector Sigma decided that was the best route to go for Cybertronians is because it eases the resource crisis by letting them process a wider variety of fuel sources other than being solely reliant on Energeon and letting them reproduce without having to manufacturer bodies (or, presumably, Sparks).
>>11028679We already know he's not going to because minicons so far have always been named alongside the main figureWheeljack won't come with wind sheer either btw
>>11028706This is what I get for having any hope at allWhat a waste
Are there gonna be more reveals or..?
>>11028786Yes, today or tomorrow. Still I can't wait and see how retards will fuck things up.
>Di Bonaventura: What’s so surprising about the ’86 film is how dark it is. Honestly, I don’t understand why people love it so much. For some, maybe it was their first cinematic experience, but it’s really a downer movie. Interestingly, when we showed our trailer for the first time, the fans’ reaction was to compare our movie to that one. But they’re so not comparable because that’s so dark, and this has so much humanity. They’re completely different movies in many ways.Sounds like PR suicide.
>>11028449He's a chally 1 in G1. The dotm version is an M1. Which is one of 5 about good tankformers that turn into accurate to irl tanks in the history of the franchise. This quake is what we get when they don't do H-tanks now.
>>11028837>What’s so surprising about the ’86 film is how dark it is. Honestly, I don’t understand why people love it so much.This is coming from the "man" behind the Bayverse.
>>11028837Bonaventura is the worst thing to happen to this franchiseAnd that's a hill I'll die on
>>11028786BBTS put up a little stop motion thing for the gobots three pack if that counts
why does he look like that
>>11028930
>>11028931Guess they didn't think putting both the wheels on arms was a good idea.
>>11028930So does it have anything unique beyond price going for it compared to the Missing Link version which is the same concept?
>>11028930>>11028932Ah he's kinda neat. like clearly he's not as good as Missing Link but he's also like $20 where Missing Link is over 100 so no shit the premium product is better than general retail. I appreciate the transparent window inserts
>>11028946Nope. It's Missing Link at home
>>11028850Darkest moments in TF '86:>Four autobots get gunned down in an ambush, beloved leader passes away surrounded by friends, Starscream disintegrates into ash, Ultra Magnus explodes and is unexploded in the span of five minutesDarkest moments in Bayverse:>Old man autobot (Wheeljack/Que) gets executed at point-blank while saying goodbye to Bumblebee who is being restrained helplessly, Ironhide is unceremoniously shot in the back and dissolves into rust as his head rolls by the camera, Ratchet is hunted down like an animal by the same species he was protecting and has his heart/spark(?) ripped out
>>11028930>>11028932>The same figure in 3 flavors.Don't know if thats smart or dumb, canibalizing potential missing link/hotwheels buyers.
>>11028930>>11028932I appreciate how it's a little more CHUGified than I expected with the proportions. It almost feels a little too conservative because of this, but it's still one of the best Optimus figures we've gotten of late.
>>11028955Hotwheels is small production run and 1:64 scale so it probably doesn't overlap since aimed more at HW collectors.
>>11028930>>11028932Pvc tires.They had to fuck it up somehow
>brand new mold>includes an axe>includes two guns (toy style and animation style)>smokestacks are removable blasters>includes a matrixAnd there's why Slipstream and Quake are hot shit, he sucked up the entire budget for the wave.
>>11028972It turned out well so I guess it's warranted. I wish the bumper/waist piece was handled a little differently since this doesn't have the same proportions as the G1 toy, but it still looks good.
>>11028972>why Quake is hot shit, Prime sucked up the entire budget for the wave.True, but Hasbro also wasted Quake budget painting the targetmasters instead of the main figure, because those bricks were designed by Mark.
>>11028972>brand new mouldIsn't it just a budget Missing Link?
>>11028989It doesn't use any of the parts of Missing Link.
>>11028180So? it still looks like shit without a acetone bath to smooth it.
>>11028328>she's too feminineHaven't seen any of them bitching about. This mold isn't even feminine anyway, just looks like a broad shoulder dude with defined pectorals.
Prime looks like a fun enough desk toy, but those sculpted details without any paint look particularly bad to me. I think it's likely we'll see a more premium version probably with a trailer, but I'd be more interested in that.
>>11029004The colors and paint aren't final. Looks good so far though.Everything this week does, except Slipstream.
I can't think of any other transformers with dedicated ankle swivels, that's a new one
>>11028972I love this.
I wish we'd get some modern inchmen to go with these Diaclone inspired guys like in the ML line, the modern Diaclone Dianauts are too small.
>>11028930>>11028932It's in every way literally walmart brand Missing LinkBut I can't think of anyway someone would have a problem with that
>>11029004A more premium version would just be Missing Link
>>11029020I own both ML convoys and I love this, it's so neat to have two new figures homaging this particular version of him.
>no ehobby gobot repaints posted yetare you guys faggots?https://twitter.com/BigBadToyStore/status/1800921002802864180
>>11029027>are you guys faggots?Yes. /tfg/ has shit taste and likes shit toys. Otherwise these threads would have dried up and blown away years ago.
>>11028930>missing link but for poorfagslmao
>>11029027I never got Warpath and Gears, but I dunno. Its GoBots.
>>11029027>three repaints of shit moldsyawn
>>11029039I like gears :(((((
>>11029027Someone mentioned it earlier. I replied to it but deleted it because I wrote Pathfinder instead of Path Finder.
>>11028972The only thing this has over Missing Link that I like is the neck articulation. But given that the whole reason I bought ML were the gorgeous paint apps on the toy-accurate version, I don't regret getting that instead of this.I'd be all about a repaint, though. I wonder if maybe THIS guy will get his own Magnus armor down the road?
>>11028930Commentary:>[microphone emoji] Mic check..1..2..(thud) just in time for the 40th anniversary celebration I welcome a familiar face to the Legacy United line! Thats right folks, it be Optimus Prime at the deluxe scale featuring his toy style, but with a whole lotta [star eyes emoji] #fun !>Shuhei Umeza san the talented wizard worked on this dude with me!

>>11028932wow, finally a mainline alt mode that doesn't look like shit and barf.
>>11029046>I wonder if maybe THIS guy will get his own Magnus armor down the road?Yeah, I feel like Magnust armor would be hard to do on the actual ML because that line seems hung up on strict toy accuracy, and the toy Magnus armor was literally just a solid plastic slab. They couldn't add any degree of articulation without completely changing the look of the toy and therefor suvberting the entire purpose of the ML line. But with the mainline deluxe, they've already made enough changes that the armor could basically just be build from the ground up for that toy.It's insane how hard modern TFs are mogged by 40-year-old toys but with updated joints, lol.
>>11029021Adding more paint apps and a trailer is still a step down from ML. The mold is smaller, there's no vac metalized plastic, and there's no die-cast. Considering all that, I think the price would still be significantly lower than the ML.
>>11029062>I think the price would still be significantly lower than the ML.Yeah, 25 bucks, like all Deluxes. 20 at some WalMarts.
>>11028930>>11028932>>11028972>>11029010Quite based, shame about no wrists
>write polite comment that new Slipstream is mid at best with terrible head>gets banned from MarkYeah, I think Warden is buck breaking him already.
>>11029020My only issue is that it's TINY for a deluxe.
>>11029062>The mold is smallerOptimanlet Prime
>>11029073I don't have G1 Optimus, how big are they?
>>11029074
>>11028955>The same figure in 3 flavors.You say this as if 99% of profitablity in Transformers doesn't come from offering the same damn figure in different flavors. Seige/Earthrise was basically a test of how easy it would be to get fans to buy the same exact toy multiple times, so here we are.>>11028962Yeah, I don't see any overlap with the HW one, and the deluxe mainline release is just an option for the more frugal collector, and honestly I can see a lot of hardcore collectors buying that as well as the Missing Link. I already own ML-01, but I'd totally dip on the mainline deluxe if it got a cool repaint. (picrel, hint hint, Hasbro, you cowards)
>>11029082>You say this as if 99% of profitablity in Transformers doesn't come from offering the same damn figure in different flavors.Back when i first got into Transformers, I was baffled by how collectors would say stuff like, "Man, I hope we get a new head for x figure so it can be repurposed as y character" and I was just like, "Wait, you mean you want to buy the same toy twice just because it's technically a different character?" I didn't realize it was such a time-honored tradition.
>>11028930I will 100% be buying this but Im so conflicted. Half of me loves this. Half hates it. >no wrists >no waist >tons of missing paint apps and ugly gray plastic unpainted rims>very smallOther than these nitpicks this figure is pure sex.
>>11029088>tons of missing paint apps and ugly gray plastic unpainted rimsTHATS NOT THE FINAL COLORS.
>>11029090Cope. The final product will look nearly identical to this, just like literally every other time. If anything, the potential exists for it to look worse.
>>11029090Anon, do you not see all the fucking silver? Budget's used up.
>>11029082>You say this as if 99% of profitablity in Transformers doesn't come from offering the same damn figure in different flavors.Not at the same time, also was mostly speaking from the licensors point of view, as in "we paid you to use this design and then you sell a budget version of the same design at the same time?"would be annoyed if I was on either takara or mattel board.
>>11029100Takara and Mattel are doing different things thoughTakara is making a mini-masterpiece limited market releaseMattel is making a weird little gimmick thing that's also a limited collector release
>>11029100>Not at the same timeUm, yes? I'm pretty sure Netflix/WalMart exclusives were on the shelves at the same time you could buy their mainline counterparts. And by the time the poorfag version drops, it might be hard to get a hold of an ML, who knows?
>>11029066Yeah, but it wouldn't be the same price with a trailer, which is what I'm talking about.
>>11028930I have trash taste but my god I fucking love it.
>>11029117>trash tasteBut it's good tho? Best looking mainline G1 Optimus Prime since Classics.
>>11029118It's GeeWun Prime so people will eat it up but as a whole it's a janky design dependent on nostalgia and little else, more so with Missing Link already being a thing. again it will sell and they will whore out the mold worse than Mattel is planning with those new greyskull turtles but that dosn't change what it is.
>>11028930I already have a deluxe sized optimus I'm happy with, but man, I'm willing to double dip for this. I've been wanting something like this for years.
>BBTS exclusive.Was that know? I'm rather surprised.
>>11028971Are you gay?
>>11029126Had to find someone willing to spend years selling through the stock
>>11029129Yes.
>>11029131Obviously.
>>11029122>as a whole it's a janky design dependent on nostalgia and little elseNot really. It doesn't look any more or less janky than some of the recent shitshow toys we've gotten. Apart from the lack of wrists and waist, articulation seems great, too.It's literally just a straightforward transformer with good balance between both modes for once. It's hilarious how brainbroken the average TF consoomer is that they see a simple and enjoyable toy and call it "jank" because it's just a different flavor of slop than you've become used to.
>>11029118>Best looking mainline G1 Optimus Prime since Classics.Hope it enjoys that title for like a month cuz 86 Prime is probably gonna demolish it
>>110289465mm port smokestacks
>>11029126That they were exclusive? No, not until today.
>>11029135>86 Prime is probably gonna demolish it86 Ultra Magnus hasn't left me with much hope. And with 86 Springer literally just being a tweak of the recent voyager with a markup, I don't expect Prime to be much more than a tweak of the Earthrise mold with a trailer thrown in. That'll be $100 USD plus tip!
there is a waist joint
>>11029135SS86 will almost certainly be stripe-bereft tooner garbage. ER is perfectly fine as a cartoon G1 Optimus Prime anyway.
>>11029144Assuming 86 Prime is not, in fact, ER with a new deco.
>>11029143Yay!
>>11029126Shit, guess I can't get them. Tax, plus shipping will make them not worth it
>>11029153I know that feeling, my fellow leaf
>>11029134>It's hilarious how brainbroken the average TF consoomer is that they see a simple and enjoyable toy and call it "jank" because it's just a different flavor of slop than you've become used to.So you agree with anon it's slop but jank is the line for you? I think you both stuck with brainbroken problems. >>11029126iirc BBTS hasn't had a Transformers exclusive since the TF Prime show with the Dark Energon toys
>>11029135>86 Prime is probably gonna demolish itA toy-accurate toy will always be better than a cartoon-accurate toy. Cope and seethe tooners.
>>11029126well that's great too know. It's either going to stay at the store for years with a always ticking up price or it's going to be completely sold out in a month with no reissues
>>11029157>o you agree with anon it's slop but jank is the line for you?No. Learn to read, retard.
>>11029158>honk honk I want a replies and (You)sFucksakes dude you got to have someone else in your life than 4chan.
>>11029160you don't even know what the anon meant you just want to pick fights for (You)s
>>11029163One anon makes most the posts here on /tfg/, we are all he has.
>>11029143That's not a waist joint, that'just the legs being posed at a different angle to simulate one
>>11029157Their last exclusive was the Siege on Cybertron set. Had the same issue as this set, it was too extensive with tax and shipping. At least my main draw from that set was easy to get.
should i go missing link or lego optimus?
>>11029193I think legos suck.
>>11029134Those arms
>>11029196i think legos are cool :[
>>11029126Are they still gonna re-release Cosmos like they said?
>>11029215Next year.
>>11029231yes yes go ahead and spam images so you cam start your new thread so we can enjoy your one man show on page zero.
>>11029073>>11029072Yeah I thought given how spindly and simple OG OP is he would just be the normal height. I wonder how he'll look beside generations autobots.
Aren't we supposed to be getting all w4 revealed? Hasbro only revealed Optimus today, the Gobot pack was revealed by bbts.
>>11029122>janky designI'd say a janky design is one that need to use faux parts just to change from one mode to the next like ER Prime. These are robots, they don't need to have human proportions.
>>11029239Quake and Slipstream were yesterday.I guess Voyager and Leader is tomorrow.
>>11029239They have until tomorrow
At least it’s almost impossible to fuck up Animated Motormaster, hope they don’t end up botching the rest of the Animated Stunticons/Autobot pre tools
>>11028954Yeah, but Bayverse has piss jokes and robot testicles.
>>11029236Despite being here for 14 years I never made thread. I just did my poor shitpost.
>>11029126Ah, is that why today's Daily Deal is all Transformers? They're trying to make room for the inevitable backstock.By the way, Legacy Iguanus, Elita-1 and Buzzworthy Toy Colors Dinobot are on sale right now; Iguanus in particular is worth gabbing if you don't have him already.
>>11029266Buzzworthy Dinobot entirely discolorsBut elita-1 and the SS Arcee are great
>>11028930May get him on a rainy day but will wait to see if they make a G2 version >>11029126Treads looks pretty good but the other two I’m not that interested in. If they ever make a second one with Man-o-war and Buggyman then now we are talking.
>>11029255Don't forget the humping! Everyone loves the humping!
>>11028837So eager to see this garbage flop hard
>>11029248The leader is Overcharge the Blitzwing redeco, right? What's the leader?
>>11028275Guzzle bio, don't think Marvel had one:https://files.catbox.moe/fh8cpd.jpg
>>11029341Tarn reissue
>>11029071yeah man mark is seething about thus shit rly hard lmao
>>11029421
>>11029421>>11029424People are taking Mark too seriously. He's just some coked out boomer saying and making whatever he thinks is amusing. He's probably high out of his mind when he makes these posts.
"New" Metalhawk
>>11029126All three of these would be 'new' molds - I didn't get Gears, skipped Warpath, and was satisfied with my TR Cosmos and thus never bothered hunting down the new one.
>>11029020I have ML Optimus and want this. I think it looks like the best deluxe in Legacy. I have gripes (paint), but for the most part I think they nailed taking the G1 toy and making it slightly CHUG.
>>11028930Very nice alternative for Missing Link, I hope distribution doesn't fuck me six ways from Sunday (again) and he's available in Poland somehow.
>>11029447Look at that toy accurate chrome!
>>11028837>this has so much humanity.
>>11029122Nah. It's just a rock solid foundation, no nostalgia required. Get fucked, toots.
>>11029447Doesn't the og toy also use gold? Looks almost orange here.
>>11029490yea he's supposed to be gold
>>11029447And the first legacy release.>Now I know what yall gonna say, that gold doesn’t match the og toy! Egads and gadzooks man Markclonus screwed us again!! honestly molded plastic gold is kind of a headache in production and there is only a few pantone golds I know are solid in terms of color pop and longevity. So much like alot of things on the brand, I turn to my gut to guide the way! Also, since we usually don’t get to change colors on a package refresh of an item, I had to keep it really close to the first release, but I thought it was important for a variant release of this guy! Great figure!He's sure been making a lot of excuses the past two days.

>>11029514He's the leader.
>>11029514I think Warden had one as a kid so repainted triggerhappy that waythe legaSHIT team were jerking themselves off redoing botcon slop and talking themselves up about being as accurate as possible to an infamously inconsistent cartoon
