>>11558884I really thought Skywarp would be included with Mirage and Cliffjumper for a DCS release, to mimic the episode "Traitor!"Oh well.Anyway, anyone have any hopes for the Transformers Retro line? I'm hoping for a deluxe class starscream/seeker mold based off the original toy but updated in the "budget missing link" style that legacy united g1 toy prime was.
>>11558884>new item!Hold up.
cool now I get to have two threads open for a few days again
>>11558896I dont feel the Kingdom retool of Siege Mirage would have been worth the effort.
>>11558896>to mimic the episode "Traitor!"It is referencing that episode.
>>11558884Why can't anyone design a good Transformer jet? They're all "jet on top and folded-up robot on bottom." The only exception I ever saw was a 3rd-party Powerglide. Macross toy designers don't have this problem.
>>11559055Are Macross toys as durable? I imagine if it's anything like Takara their plastics are brittle and break at my superior Western grip.
>>11559072They can be fragile, but they also use a lot more diecast than Hasbro and Takara do.
>>11558970I don't. They couldn't throw a minicon Ramjet in the damn box?
>>11558884why can't Hasbro put out more accessory packs?
>>11559095Because whoever is in-charge of distribution at Hasbro is a huge moron.>no reprint for a weapons pack that just about everyone who owns a WfC collection would want>Legacy Breakdown gets 1/20 distribution ratio at SOME stores while others just don't get shit>ER Thrust is in the triple digits and impossible to find for under that price while Hasbro's jerking off, reprinting two fucking Siege Seekers of all things>G2 Menasor is straight up missing three members, who will either never see distribution or will be released so late that they'll have to make it a boxset>there's so many Studio Series Q-Jacks backed up on the shelves still>inconsistent release dates. lots of shit has been getting released too early at physical and even online retailThat last one pisses me off specifically because I budgeted the G2 Dinobot set for November. Had to cancel the pre-order and it'll be sitting in my cart for a month and a half.
>>11559095They're putting out a "Sentinel artifact pack" next year.

>>11559154Why do you bother reposting these pastebins if you aren't updating them?
>>11559154Don't copy paste the (updated) part if it isn't updated
>>11559156I'm not the same person who keeps reposting them. I just beat the other guy to the punch this time; you can ask him when he inevitably turns up here.
>>11559162>I just beat the other guy to the punch this timeAgain, why? You've done nothing of value here. You very lazily copied and pasted everything without even knowing the contents, and kept the (updated) part. This may sound harsh, but you need to hear this: You're stupid. Put more thought into what you do.
>>11559116>inconsistent release dates. lots of shit has been getting released too early at physical and even online retailAs someone who is broke as fuck, this has been messing me up all year. Every single figure I have ordered this year has shipped at least a month early
Venom finally gets a CHUG including a new mold.Is it her time?
New big toy incoming
>>11559248Her and Glyph two-pack never
>>11559248If they do I hope they don't puss out and make her an Autobot because she turns into a cute ladybug, she NEEDS to be an Insecticon.Ladybugs can be evil and terrifying, just ask any aphid.
>>11559299Terrifying? But they're so cute!
When/where is Nemesis Prime?
>>11559355He's, like, all around us, maaaaaan
>>11559055leader movie starscreams are okay it's inherently really difficult and it shouldn't be that hard to explain why
>>11559173says the guy making spam threads without the pastebins
>>11559365If I was OP I'd be too busy shoving bricks from LEGO Soundwave up my ass to reply. Tell you what: we team-up to beat the shit outta him and we free ourselves of these superfluous threads.
>>11559285When ARE we getting new Glyoh and Tap-Out toys?The mods are there.
>>11559278I thought the next Titan was AoE Grimlock and already shown? Are they showing off 2027's Titan already, or is this gonna be some GenSel repaint/mild retool?
>>11559436There's three real options.1: tidal wave. Gen selects repaint.2: Animated Omega Supreme (kingdom ark). Gen selects retool.3: Metroplex? They've mentioned wanting to redo him.
>>11559451Maybe a Brave Maximus Redeco of TR Fort Max?
>>11559278Im holding out hope for a Titan stratosphere
>>11559278>>11559436>>11559451Clown shoes operationThey've now clarifed that it isn't a Titan Class Transformer They meant titan as in prominent figureNow the smart money is on this being the new Shockwave design we all voted for
>>11559411Never. Hasbro hates us.
>>11559472oh so the marketing team are retardsanglerwave is happening btw
>>11559472>>11559481you're both retards, it's going to be shredhead from the skybound comics (who does cool stuff in the latest issue) and hasbro probably banking on them being a big character because they're awesome.
>>11559483Sure maybeIt's just that whatever this is is happening on the 17th and the Shockwave reveal is also happening on the 17thSo either its the same event or Hasbro is competing against itself for headlines
>>11559489The shop is its own thing - it isn't run directly by Hasbro - so I doubt they're getting to debut a brand new figure. I think they'll just be revealing a new character design - probably a titan class character who transforms into Battersea Power Station, who'll act as the shop's mascot going forward.
>>11559451>they want to redo metroplex and fort max>but in the cheaper, smaler nu-titan scale probably the biggest monkey paw ever thought possible
>>11559709I like the one where he looks like an alien by using the concorde cockpit.
is dramatic capture the definitive series to get?
>>11559758Yes. The paints are impeccable and the plastics are durable.
Take this with as much salt as you like. The source is Nune on tfw
>>11559772>$232 to complete Bruticus
>>11559772I thought we were already at 59.99 for leaders for hte last 2 yearsWell, Big looks like garbage, so I'm gonna wait and possibly just ignore him entirely.
>>11559772They're already testing it with GI Joke, and Marvelslop, did you really think Magic Space Robots would escape this fate?
>here's your $43 voyager bro
So I haven’t collected Transformers since Kingdom. Decided to go back with the SS86 Dinobots (Starting with AOTP G2 Grimlock and the G2 colors Slug and Snarl), along with Venin because that was a childhood favorite.For. 2026, I’m just getting the selects Dinobots Sludge and Swoop in G2 colors and Beast Wars Quickstrike and MAYBE the SS86 version of Cyclonus and then I’m out with TF’s…. again.
>>11559789Very healthy
>>11559789do yourself a favor and pick up ss86 megatron as wellother than that yeah I'd leave
>>11559789It’s gonna kill me if they decide to Transmetals. I really want a new TM Tarantulas and Rampage.
>>11559758Not worth the money until they start repainting actually good molds
>>11559798Eh, for some reason I’m not really feeling that one. I’m committed to getting the Dinobots (G2 colors are easier and will have the molding kinds ironed out I’m looking at you Sludge).Ok, MAYBE SS86 Skywarp as it’ll be funny to pair that with the Cyclonus one.
>>11559804>until they start repainting actually good moldsESL moment. This is almost too embarrassing to read.
>>11559799I don't see them pulling off a satisfactory Rampage.I think they're going to kinda take a wait-and-see attitude here to see if the line even survives into the next year or two, before making transmetal figures who would necessarily be largely leaders and commanders (though they shrank tm2 megatron a bit, maybe they'd do that for the rest. shudder to think...)
>>11559808anon has put a two-word qualifier in the form of an adjective before the object of the sentence. that's allowed, however, to avoid ambiguity, it's best to use hyphens in that kind of situation. Like you might look at an unfinished lunch and say like "tossing half-eaten sandwiches"
>>11559278Its just painted samples of Grimlock
>>11559772Give a legimate reason why an adult would buy this over third party without sounding mad.
>>11559772I buy like 4-5 transformers per year since they initially raised Deluxe figures to $20. If thst price hike is true, I may just tap out of Hasbro products completely and just buy the occasional 3rd party figure.
>>11559818Tariffs and de-mininus making the 3P stuff 2-3x what it was thanks to Dementia Diaper Donnie.
decepticons run the US government and Optimus Prime is subliminally messaging (you) to take out their pretender shells
>>11559822...'s commie masters who tell him what to do to make common sense economics look stupid, yeahyou kinda ended that post early., like Candlejack got you.
>>11559818Are they gonna make a 3P Big Convoy? I'd like to see that. a trunk with at least 8 ball joints would be awesome.
Mixmaster, where the FUCK are you!?
>>11559854probably helping pour some cement for those big chinese commie blocks
>>11559785i like the og mold on trashmaster but this makes a horrible animated wreckgar. it's like the scrapheap recolor they did for lockdown. way too small/out of scale and just looks bad.
>>11559858that's exactly a joke i'd expect them to do
>star wars haslab screw upIt is just me or having Takara being the one half owner of the transformers sort of temper down Hasbro's worst instinct?
>>11559278Could an Omega Spreem from Legacy Metroplex with new head and gun pieces work?
Allegedly this is AOTP Swindle.
>>11559923How will Goonmaster6769 ever recover
>>11559818Because third party doesn't make CHUG anymore and I'm not interested in Masterpiece or Legends scale figures.
>>11559931i wish 3p would make chug but my wallet is glad they aren't
The mailman dropped thisI ordered this instead of zoids prime. I am still very on the fence about that prime. The more pictures come out the stranger it looks. The body is way too narrow and the head; yes it is a good looking prime but doesn't feel it fit the head. Anyway. I hope this is one is good. I might pre-order the gfg for next year if this one turn out great. If the quality is okay I think people will be fine going with their mosepia line
>>11559923Nice!
For a quick unboxing, I have not played with them yet but I did check it out the paint and the general built. Damn I have to say this is good. This is literally on par with diaclone in term of quality. The nub marks are smoothly cut. The pin holes are clean (no left over plastic) and the paint while I can't promise to be 100% pristine but is sharp and clean. The build also feels strong overall (but-). The plastic is good but for the black they choose those slightly hollow/less dense material for it. So the black plastic does look a bit cheap but I think the reason for it is they can't have anything too heavy for the combined mode. I will see how it goes when I actually have the chance to play with it. I do have to say i expected this thing to be bigger. But going eith what I've seen here this thing should be no taller than 86 Megatron- but it will be twice as wide as meg
>>11559278>lists a time>but not a dateNothing worthwhile in whatever they're going to reveal, like that shitty walmart stream that was just party favors and play pretend shaving kits or whatever
>>11559971>>11559980Basically the impression I've got from Toyrise stuff is that it's cool if you're someone who actually plays with their toysJust sticking it on a shelf won't get you near the full valueSpeaking of, people out having fun with Alpha Trion
>>11560000
Is the newest wave in US stores yet? I want to pick up Micronus but I have no idea when these things are supposed to release.
>AoP Silverbolt has been out for months. >No third party Superion upgrade kits except for shitty 3D printed hands and feets on eBay and Etsy for $20.
>>11559772I might just narrow my collecting down to Blokees for the most part.
>>11560018Should be very soon if they're not out already, my preorders came in for that wave a couple of days ago
>>11560000what a boisterous young fellow
When do you think we’ll see Generation Selects Sludge and Swoop?
>>11560053Probably, like, April or May
>>11559773>tfw paid $300 for zeta bruticus during brack friday salesHastards are offcially paying 3p prices for hollow plastic
>like $600 total with shipping for the haslab omega prime in my 3rd world shitholeis there like a cheaper site than ebayusual releases are all reasonably priced here
MegaEmpress
>>11559772Damn man, I've already narrowed my buying to just G1 and whatever pops up at ROSS. And you know Hascuck won't turn back prices even if this trade war gets fixed.
Hey, any idea if anyone's working on an upgrade kit for Rath Prime? I doubt there's anything anyone can do to give him a bigger Rath head given how it's pinned, but it shouldn't be too hard to give him an accurately-sized Charge Blade that also makes his tail less stumpy-looking, right?
>>11559772At the rate they are going, I wonder when Hasbro might start axing size classes. I’ll bet Deluxes aren’t much longer for this world.
>>11560085I mean price points, the prices aren’t determined by size anymore.
>>11559772This obviously sucks but only thing insane about this is the Voyagers. Deluxe 25 to 28 = 12%Voyager 35 to 43 = 22.9%Leader 55 to 60 = 9.1%Why are Voyagers going up 23 fucking percent? In other news Hasbro and Amazon are about to get me decapitated by my gf because Hasbro wont stop shipping shit early and Amazon wont change the delivery address on my orders without canceling them. It was nice knowing you guys.
I hate this troon ass nigga
>>11560112>its like they/them but more specialerMan I'm pretty tolerant, certainly by 4chan standards, but even I have limits
>>11560112These retarded faggots are making it very difficult to be on TFW. Every one of them types like the site is their personal blog and I cannot fucking stand them. What does this caption even fucking mean?
>>11560130>ragafagGoing to share this on /co/, thx
>>11560073I would pay through the nose for a new Megaempress toy. We have the tinest of chances after they make AOTP Hot Spot, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
>>11559824Shut up retard.
>>11559888What happened there? I don't follow SW figs.Also funny you say this after Haslab shit the bed completely with that recent Optimus.
Why on Earth are SS86 Scavenger's hands painted instead of just being green plastic?
>>11560178Toy color repaint will be gang molded purple
>>11560165its gonna be weird to make a new Megatronia work given how the current design system is.
>>11560097is that a reference to the Trigger 40th anniversary video anon?
>>11559785>>11559866its baffling Hasbro just didn't design Trashmaster to resemble Wreck-Gar better.
>>11560192Well Menasor and superion/bruticus' frame arms and legs are already interchangeable, so they could do a defensor torso with menasor legs and superion/bruticus arms.
>>11560200They should make her a pretool to Animated Bulkhead.
>>11560200How about making a new Megaempress so I can buy her at all
>>11560204
>>11560200I'd like a decent 3rd party toy, or a Flame Toys model kit, or some Megaempress inspired Koto girl kit like their recent Optimus, or even a Blokees chibi toy.
>>11560207Unironically would (buy)
>>11559971yeahh I might end up canceling my order if i end up even poorer, and let this other BIG name in zoids have my slot in the group order instead, because he somehow missed out.
>>11559982lolwut
We’re never gonna get a new Predaking, are we? Imagine four voyagers and a leader/commander Razorclaw. Also I predict Commanders going to $100 easily.
>>11560240Adamas has that new one
>>11560193Obviously not.
>>11560249that was my second guess
>>11560112Amazing that the chud lard neckbeards have to beg King quirk of trans for pricing, leaks and shipment info actually goated
Why is Armada Red Alert shelfwarming so hard?
>>11560081>whatever pops up at ROSS.Literally no Transformers have shown up at my local ROSS since that Toxitron crap.
>>11560277no one cares about UTshit
>>11560277We're waiting on the powerlinx with Longarm
>>11559726>I like the one where he looks like an alien by using the concorde cockpit.Pics?
>>11560171they picked a bad thing to do a haslab ofonly got 25% ordered
>>11560112for those who don't know, this guy seemingly pulled this out of no where, and no one's corroborated it.One person found an empty amazon listing for the voyager price though. But no actual details
>>11559772I've already cut back on buying figures, and only buy the larger size classes on clearance, but with these hikes, I'll tap out after Bruticus and Big Convoy.
>>11560305I didn't save it, popped up here like a month ago.
>>11560171The Republic Gunship got a Haslab. It was "slightly over" 20% bigger. The price tag felt ridiculous for what they offered (apparently, it leaked that the original offering was 350, but they changed it to 500), and all tiers just offered a single fodder jedi.The campaign finished without reaching any tiers, only getting enough to fund the Gunship.
Bought two Terrorsaurs for 20 bucks, they have a shitton of him at ollies and he’s generally a good fig for the price (being halved), likely is a lot of him near you too, checkem
Do you know what retailer will be doing the SS86 Insecticons?
>>11560083No idea, they didn't do any upgrade kits for that china-only dragon guy. which is a shame because I swear there is a way to make him work, by moving the feet into the hollows of the neck and tail.
>>11560102they wont have any anymore >>11560120Dude this came FIRST. the 'they' shit was after a solid 5-6 years of them trying all this xi/xer shit with 50 different genders. they boiled it down a little. I believe they are now at like six genders.. or like, a three-axis system pertaining to your concept of different parts of your desires. it's pretty fucking sick and they need to be locked up, but.. it's not new.
>>11560130that shit is what drove me out of SCP. it got so tiring with every other scientist log being trannies. like guys, -you are not that prevalent.- >what does this caption meanit is a bit confusing. a sugar and spicy sissy makes sense enough, like a fag with sassy attitude like Paul Lynde or Scott Thompson. or uhh Tituss Burgess. Funny fags. enjoyable guys.but you can't start a sentence with "not" and end with "are" like that. is this buttpirate saying he ISN'T that kind of sissy, but that we WOULD enjoy it? baffling. faggots need to go back to being fun silly guys, nobody ever hated them but cranky old spoilsports.
>>11560310I'm just gonna get sky byte, quickstrike, and razorclaw (IF they do another upgrade kit for him, which will probably wait until we get a silverbolt recolor too which I guess I would also get. Plus I'd have to get new hands for him again), once they're at a discount. Doesn't have to be a huge discount.and then big convoy on clearance. That fucker is not worth it otherwise.hey remind me what those hands were that fit Tigerhawk.. i gotta see if those come in black
>>11560335bery nice, boychik. that's how you shop.You gonna give one as a gift to a friend maybe?>near meI dunno this Ollie's place but I hear about it a lot.
>>11560193Yes it was actually. I love that video
>>11560357>but you can't start a sentence with "not" and end with "are" like that. is this buttpirate saying he ISN'T that kind of sissy, but that we WOULD enjoy it? baffling. Exactly, thank you. The sentence makes no sense as written. Dude is a fucking retard. Whats that ugly ass plush in their pfp
>>11560360Their name eludes me at the moment but they dont come in black. Only white, gray, and blue
>>11560362No I have 3 of them now, one’s still sealed up for lmao, ollies had them at 10 dollars a pop and a quarter of a shelf of him plus two other guys
>>11560370>>11560120Dead cats
>>11560389You know, staying mindbroken for 10 years isn’t healthy.
>>11560382gray might be acceptable enough. Painting the back of the hand black is easy, painting jointed fingers is what is ass.>>11560384I mean cool but what are you gonna do with the extras?
>>11560424Likely paint them to match two pteros or something, idk, may just keep em around since lmao
>>11560428might be kinda hard with all the ball joints, but worth a shot. I bet it'd take to dye pretty well.
>>11560280Bought that Blue Lion cassette 3 pack and retro BW german shepard last month at ROSS. Saw animated BB, strong arm and the purple fugly car this week.
>>11560335>>11560384>tfw always wanted any kind of Terrorsaur but there's no Ollie's across the boarder
>>11560169Make me :3
>>11560335Ollie's has a lot of transformers stock right now. Terrorsaur and Iguanus (beast wars) are shelfwarming like crazy, some stores have ROTB stuff in stock still, but the current thing to look out for is studio series core classes. Freezer (rotb), Arcee (rotb) and Ironhide (1986) are all available at some Ollie's along with legacy RID strongarm (who sucks outside of that beautifully chunky truck mode)highly recommend making a monthly pilgrimage. Hoping that Ollie's gets cyberworld stuff in a few months.
>>11559923Looks a lot like an SS86 figure at first glance. Looking good for something that could show up in summer of 2026.
>>11560000>>11560009Wonder if anyone found Micronus yet. I kept seeing Alpha Trions and Onyx Primes, but Micronus Prime? And the idea of possibly completing the Legendisc collection (if you want to make Micronus the Green Legendisc)?
>>11560462Also saw a box of the wolfangs up there, but mainly Terrorsaurs and iguanuses, I frankly think Terrorsaur is the better purchase>>11560450Damn, theres a few sites selling them for nearly ollies prices but yeah its rough finding him anywhere else
>>11560462>tfw no Ollie's near meI wish Ocean State Job Lot or some other discount retailer would at least carry something.Is it worth checking Marshall's or Burlington?
Do we know what Titan is getting revealed Wednesday?
>>11560466SS86 is just Generations in a different box.
>>11560474I mean given that terrorsaur's mold was already remade once so it's still fresh, yeah.. as opposed to wolfang whose mold is fucking swiss cheese now.
That Google decided Energon Arcee would be the biggest and Prime the second biggest as humans is throwing me for a loop.
>>11560516what the fuckshe's never been that small
>>11560519Maybe they mean the toys themselves?
>>11560510But SS86 has less greebles than the Cheapo Plastic Era that we got since Siege.Also, does anyone think we could get a redesigned Crosshairs and Pinpointer after AOTP?
>>11560525It's trying to convert their character designs into regular human proportions. Why would you ever want to do that I'll never know, fucking cowards don't want to stick their dick in a 15' tall robot.
>>11560526None of them have less greebles. They have literally put the same toys in both lines and nobody even blinked.
>>11560525anon..>>11560528makes no sense. sounds like this guy wants a drawing.
>>11559923man all the combaticons so far are looking near perfect, frameslop be damned.
>>11560526The 86 dinobots and even the recent megatron has a good amount of details and greebles. They are meant to be unified with the rest of the generations line.
>>11559854Alright, with only 7 days left to ship longhaul and hook I'm thinking I give it till Tuesday to ship the entire pile of loot and then just get Mixmaster separately.
>>11560547The Combaticons are best team so it makes sense
>>11560507It's just the Grimlock we saw the prototype of already; nothing to get excited about.
>>11560553Really? They said it was unannounced.
>>11560507>>11559655>>11560553We already know it isn't a Titan
I just put my SS86 Devastator together, and I think I might actually like the team split up more than combined.
Looks like Takara is having their own live stream on the 25thHere's a teaser
>>11560624Eva fucking sucks and every purple and green collab can suck my dick
>>11560624Current rumors being that EVA Prime is actually EVAsion Prime, a retool of the bigger version
>>11560624that's pretty radicool. Completely unnecessary, but.. yeah it's neat.>>11560629wait what? what were these? because yeah that's what's in the picture
>>11560624love the shoulder pylons. would it be a radically different transformation to accommodate those?
>>11560629yeah the arms make it obvious its the evasion op mold
>>11560579Thats the crazy part about combiners is that you can disassemble them and put them back together. Most Transformers collectors don’t actually realize this. Combiners typically get assembled once and never touched again
>>11560624Still more effort than the Godzilla one
>>11560469Excuse my lackluster photography and collage making skills, but I found Micronus Prime at Walmart in Canada today.He's a neat little disc robot and the power suit/motor-unicycle is pretty cool. It does parts form and is also a weaponizer for other figures,
>over 200 $ for a 50 yo updated brick>buh it geewon

>>11560670How big is the little disc guy?
>>11560629>EVAsion PrimeI have to admit, it's a funny pun.
>>11560693Fucking love this guy and head upgrade
>>11560699All the primes are unique molds. Also I doubt Shockwave will be a squid because that already exists in some form and Evan said he wanted to do something different
>>11560832>All the primes are unique moldsVector Prime?Alpha Trion?
>>11560849What toy is Alpha Trion a retool of?
>>11560277Time repeats itself
>>11559772>figures get worse>they also get more expensivemasterful gambit, Hasbro
>>11559772This only solidifies my decision to drop everything but the Missing Link line. It's probably overpriced in the grand scheme of things, but I think it inadvertently shone a light on everything wrong with the mainline design philosophy since Siege kicked off.
>>11561000Personally, I'm sticking to DCS / G1 "Retro" line until the WfC well finally dries out. Maybe some cosmic luck'll kick in and Takara will reprint Thrust.
Whose arm is this on the back of SS86 Megatron's box?

>>11561024It was verbally confirmed at SDCC to be absolutely nobody and to be foreshadowing nothing.
>>11561052Yeah, that's why it has pinholes and hinges
>>11561056The actual arm is just Megatron's recolored. They confirmed it's not meant to be anything.
>>11561057why did they bother to recolor it?
>>11560861I think he's referring to the Alpha Trion from that two-pack with Orion Pax and Vector Sigma; he was an SS86 Scourge retool. The new one is indeed an entirely new mold.
>>11561108To add seven posts to the bump limit
>>11561122THOSE BASTARDS!
>>11559923It's slop, btw
>>11561171Yeah Ai can only make statueshit, no points of transformation period
>WOOOooooOOOOOoooo fuck you Megatron
>>11561187>By the Allspark! I hear the ghostly voice of Cobra Commander!
>>11561187GHOST STARSCREAM!it would be pretty funny if he just kept fucking with him in ghost formalso wait his forearms aint transparent?
Are any of the IDW comics worth checking out? There's SO MUCH that it looks kind of impenetrable.
>>11561272They've come in collected volumes so it's easier to read through the whole thing in a functional order without manually jumping back and forth between the 2 or 3 concurrent books at any given point. It's got it's ups and downs, but pretty entertaining overall even if it gets long in the tooth. The second IDW run... Well they moved to a new publisher for a reason. The well had run dry.
>>11561310Uncanny, ain't it?
>>11561272Yeah, that's American comics for you. This should break it down easily for you: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/2005_IDW_continuityI like all of Phase 1. Phases 2 & 3, the big one is the Wreckers Saga as it feels the most like it's directly continuing Phase 1, but I do also like Mairghread Scott's run on Windblade/TAAO alot. I also like Roberts' MTMTE/LL and think it's worth at least trying for yourself, despite its flaws (It's a very different type of TF story and some of the stuff really works, some of it doesn't).It's really just Barber's run and much of the Phase 3 crossovers that're awful.They rebooted in 2018 (this universe usually called IDW-2), and I haven't finished it yet, but it has a really abysmally slow start. It has its fans though, so i assume it picks up steam.Out-of-continuity, the Hearts of Steel miniseries (and its continuation in Infestation 2) rocks, and Tom Scioli's comics "TF vs GI Joe" and Go-Bots are sweet.I also recommend reading Dreamwave's War Within and "Generation One v3" comics if you enjoyed IDW Phase 1 - IDW very much carried over a lotta themes/ideas from there, even if they're not directly connected.
>>11560768My condolences, anon, but you know this never would have happened if you'd just gotten the superior Galvatron head in the first place.
>>11561312(I like all of Phase 1 besides the Costa run, rather. I keep forgetting it even exists tbf).
>>11561108>why did they bother to recolor it?because megatron holding megatron makes no sense
>>11561310???>>11560768tiny screws are such ass.
>>11561187Much as I like SS86 Megatron he makes so many Decepticons look undersized now.It never really bothered me with '86 Prime but I guess since so many prominent Decepticons are voyager size it makes the size disparity that much more obvious.
>>11560516it's proportions.Prime arcee and Energon arcee are both very "vertical" designs (wheels either tuck away, or up)ROTF and ROTB are very "wide" designs (wheels stick out to the side/ at an angle)G1, cyberverse, and animated are more well rounded (g1's and TFAs shoulder pylons aren't that large, Cyberverse has a little more bulk so she's seen as shorter)what it's doing is taking the measurement that sticks out the most compared to human proportions, and shrinking that one to human size. So if she's extra wide, she'll come off short, if she's extra thin, she'll come off tall.
>>11561329>???the new AI tool has been trained heavily on toys, so it's pretty convincing.
>>11561310I'm genuinely impressive at how this turned out considering it was probably generated using just that one G2 comic panel.
>>11561342>I'm genuinely impressed at how...I need sleep
>>11561341but it says 'get this figure first' and then it alludes to having multiple toys of liege maximo, then it shows the picturewhich part of it is AI? it makes no sense with that text.
>>11561366it also has consistency with the box art behind it, and a little 2d image of starscream bending over.. ai can't do those on its own, so at some point a human got involved. i'd just like to know where, and for what purpose. why is someone.... simulating a forum post?
>>11561366The post is from TFW2005 where blue text generally means the post is sarcastic or joking. Also, look closely at the image and there's text overlayed "AI generated please do not repost"Apps like Gemini have gotten surprisingly good at generating toys. Once it's created the toy you can give it prompts like "generate a vehicle mode" or "change the posture" to get those box images. Obviously you'd also need to input an image of the box you want to apply the AI images to.
>>11561377I feel like you're still missing my pointare you saying the post is real, with the images being AI? as in this is a screenshot of someone's joke post, using ai-generated images
I am truly sorry to legacy strongarm. Gamer edition thundercracker is now the most godawful figure I've handled by a mile.
Good news everyoneGenesic GoaGaiGar is 5mm compatible
>>11559854Amazing shipped mine and I was supposed to get him today but he got misrouted to the wrong city and it delayed my order. I may get him tomorrow or Monday.
>>11561396FUUUUUCK, I paid the initial purchase charge, but no news since.
>>11561391Yes. Joke post using AI images.
>>11561310the age of unpainted chinese factory rejects is over, the time to flood the threads with shitty fake ai figures is now
>>11561396GAOGAIGARSCREAM!!
Star Convoy is pretty cool
If they were dead set on including Hot Rod, they should've just done the core one instead of this gimpy fucker
>>11561432I'd rather they'd made him a proper micromaster
>>11561427hollow hannnnnds. that's really distracting.
>>11561446Anything elseDudes barely better than the Wheelie that came with GrimlockAlso, someone awhile back recommended a watch link puller for pins and it works great. Finally fixed my 86 Prime
>>11561456Fuck I could use something like that, I want to fix the hips on my OG Galaxy Convoy
>>11561456i've got one of those saved in my amazon save-for-laters, but there's only one I really NEED to use it on and that's that bootleg upscaled skywarp who has tiny fucking hands. I mean her hands come off with screws, but my intended hand donor has pins.
>>11561456I've been meaning to get one of those to do that largely pointless Bonecrusher fix. With how soft the plastic on that toy feels I imagine my usual hammer and nail method might not go so well.
>It's a living
>>11561432isn't core hot rod notoriously shit?
>>11561482And yet...
>>11561464You don't need a pin pusher for that, it's way easier to just get a cheap set of screwdrivers and use the smallest flat one, I fixed it in less than three minutes without risk of fucking up the plastic trying to remove the pin. Don't overcomplicate things.
>this is fine
>>11561579the superjet mode is actually awesome
>>11561579I sure love my complete superion after getting all the aerialbots. First Slingshot, Airraid, Silverbolt, Skydive and finally Vortex.
>>11561584vortex is just Alpha Bravo's black redeco
We do a fun exchange

>>11561312Idw may have started loosing its mind around death of Optimus Prime, but it totally lost it once combiner wars was over.
>>11560112>>11560130I'm glad I don't see these people in the "local toy finding" thread I frequent there. People just sit down and talk about figures they saw come in
>>11561312I think Roberts' early MTMTE stuff is good, but the more he goes on, the worse he gets. He has a bad habit of trying to constantly seem smarter than his audience, and does rugpulls for the dumbest reveals, like cyberutopia. he actively torpedoed character development because it might've upset tumblr users at the time, and every character devolved into a quipping, gay mess. There's more I could say, but it's more political so fuck it, just stop reading after the tyrest arc I guess, the reveals after that all suck
>>11561582Its actually growing on me.>>11561584Nice, do you know anywhere the leg bots can go on the super jet?>>11561607Agreed, Space theme transformers when?I do wish they painted his forearms red. Any Anons know if its made of the unpaintable plastics?
3 regular tanks
>>11560777I don't have a ruler handy, but Micronus is pretty small by himself, only around the size of a Deluxe transformer's torso and quite flat. In disc mode he fits inside the rim of a soda can.
>>11561633I just wish Superion didn't require all these fixes. They clearly didn't do any qc checks for how strong the limb needed to be once you attach an aerialbot. I've tried fixing what I could but the way the limbs are constructed make this a bitch.
>>11561695Back to the factory.
>>11561701I don't have Superion, what problems are there?
>>11561711Almost all ratchet joints are weak as hell. They work fine on their own, but instantly develop problems. Notably both shoulder (both horizontal and vertical), knee and hip ratchets are almost incapable of supporting limbs in poses.To go into detail:-Extending the arm horizontally would eventually cause it to collapse back into the stock position, same with vertical, specially with the gun.-Hips can kind of hold poses, but just picking it up, they would revert to the stock position.-Knees (even after locking the transformation joint) are so loose that if I didn't balance the weight, he'd topple backwards.I ended up applying fixes to most of them, but I'm still not satisfied. The only one that I couldn't fix was the horizontal motion due to how the ratchet is set up, but I'll probably apply something in the future.
>>11561714*develop problems with bots attached.
>>11561714Weird, my Menasor never had those issues. How did you go about fixing them?
>>11561427>>11561471Love this big bastard.
>>11561696Which deluxe torso on a scale of Cliff to Trailbreaker? How does he scale with Micromasters?
>>11561745Micronus is a bit taller than height of G1 universe deluxe Optimus' truck chest from the bumper to the top of the cab. He's about the same height as a car micromaster but twice as wide.
>>11561631This is the most accurate take of James Roberts as a writer. His books just got so tiresome the longer he wrote.By the end of that first IDW run the only book I still had any interest in was Optimus Prime, and only because of Kei Zama's G2 style art.
>>11561396That Starscream is good. I should dig that guy out.
>>11561750>He's about the same height as a car micromaster but twice as wide.>"Nice."
>>11561427>>11561739I had to cancel my pre-order which sucks. I had money issues lately that's why I had to cancel it.>>11561579>>11561633I still need the 2 limb bots, same reasons as above and I'm prioritizing my last Constructicon first before I go buy other stuff lmao. Can't really buy them for a while.
>>11561310Oh. Another tank...
>>11561775anon...
>>11561491watch pinning sets are like three-fiddy, anon.
>>11561775Pay attention
I finally got around to transforming Tigerhawk. Pretty satisfying transformation process and, like his robot mode, his beast mode embodies everything good about 90s toy design.
>>11561753He's just so effortlessly cool
>>11561802did you make the battle mask anon?
>>11561714Mine literally has none of those problems. Maybe you got a lemon
I'm torn on Alpha. I love the way he looks, but the lack of wrist articulation feels frustratingly limiting.>>11561819And no, it's from a DNA Design upgrade kit. I actually got it mostly for the Silverbolt wing and tail extensions, but the mask and Tigerhawk stuff were a nice bonus. I think the mask really does add something to the beast mode.
Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys.
Anyone mind posting 86 Scrapper in foot mode? I see on youtube videos how there's a latch to secure the shovel to the foot, but mine has nothing to clip to, so I want to see the purple bit the latch connects to because I want to make sure I didn't get one with a qc issue.
>>11561835Its the same thing it clips to in vehicle mode
>>11561825>lack of wrist articulationHow the FUCK do you give a dude a quill as an accessory and NOT GIVE HIM WRIST ARTICULATION!?
>>11561631>There's more I could say, but it's more political so fuck it.Let it out, anon. Let your vitriol flow like a river. I'm honestly interested in what you have to say since I haven't read any of it.
>>11561847hasbro are retarded
>>11559055
>>11561858Man, I love Ferak. Wish I'd bought more copies when he went down to $10
>>11561825He looks too bulky to me, and his head too small. The more I see of the AOTP Trion toy the more I consider tracking down the Legacy 2-pack version and just getting this one for the accessories.I wonder if the open hands of Legacy might hold the quill at a more natural angle as well.
>>11561838It doesn't clip there in vehicle mode, but anyway, that latch doesn't seem to clip to anything or be held by friction, it's only held in that position for foot mode by the pin connecting it to the rest of the toy. That's why I posted the previous post, to figure out if they're all like this or just mine.
>>11561890You just fold it down and it keeps the bucket arm from sliding outwards.
>>11559055People always forget about this mold for some reason...
>>11561894Does yours lock in place?
>>11561900No it does not. It's not meant to tab in or anything. It just rests there.
>>11561890I don't have Scrapper, yet. I checked the tfw review thread and one guy also had that issue.
>>11559055> Macross toy designers don't have this problem.Macross designs are built around the jet. Their robot modes are just the jet mode parts rearrangedTransformer jets generally have a bunch of non-jet parts in their robot modes, especially thanks to the shows and media, that they need to depict in robot mode and can't easily hide in jet mode.
imagine how awesome Robosen Metroplex would be
>>11561905It dosent just rest there, it clicks into place. Its just the weakest click ever
>>11561946It varies. My friends copy clicks pretty hard, mine doesn't click at all. Pvp's copy also has a notable click. I didn't bother with return, so for my copy I used some card stock for friction and a small plastic box that's just the right size under that foot.
>>11561858Ferak's nice, but they definitely should've found a way to retool the cockpit so it faces backwards so his alt mode would look a tiny bit closer to how it did in the comics. I mean, the overall shape would still be wrong, but having the broader front would certainly look closer than having an entire nosecone that just shouldn't be there.
>>11561898I love that mold; I ended up buying a bunch of them on clearance right when SS86 Scourge came out so I could use them as Sweeps, even though they're a little on the short side.
These guys each suck in their own way. Scavenger double sucks.
Blokees Devastator kid pushed to Sept 30 on the website
>>11561996Spent an embarrassing amount of time last night looking for the buy button before finding pic related
>>11561947>a small plastic box under his foot Lmfao learn 2 pose man
>>11561959>>11561898Top tier taste, anons.
>>11561802proportions and the goofy tiger face really need work.. the original did too, but this makes parts of it worse. Still, it's impossible not to like him somewhat. he's a dingdang transmetal 2 tiger-falcon fusion. and the upgrade kit helps a lot a lot
For me 2025 has been a year of figures unexpectedly impressing me. At first I wasnt really feeling Devastator but I have really warmed up to him. On that same note 86 Optimus is also awesome. But Ultra Magnus takes the cake in this regard. I went from not enjoying this figure at all, to actually loving it. It was the transformation that really won me over. I find it super enjoyable and fun.
>>11562049What does that have to do with anything? The box is there so the clip doesn't come undone, it has nothing to do with posing.
>>11561825The fact that we're still getting voyagers without wrist articulation is fucking maddening
>>11562187That’ll be $47
>>11562181So your Scrapper foot just collapses? Your Devastator cant stand? Sounds like you need a replacement or learn 2 pose
This week I got SG Optimus
>>11561953Ferak is a better toy than cyclonus for what they did, going for that slab of a shape would have been boring as hell.
>>11561752I've heard somewhere that he's still involved with the franchise and will gate you from working with it if he doesn't like you, but I have no proof for this, so don't listen to my retarded ass>>11561849even ignoring his troonbots, there's shit like him saying Getaway (a complete sociopath) is the only conservative amongst the Lost Light crew, unironically putting the word "mansplaining" in a fucking transformers comic, his weird hangups against any and all straight relationships, either killing them off or going out of his way to spite them in cases like swerve and velocity, throwing the term "fake news" into the comic, and thinking that having sparks have gender/sex to them is offensive. It's usually small things, but you can definitely smell it the more it goes on, and the more he snakes it inThe guy is a retard and I hate that he's got his grubby fingers in the series
>>11562302I think he's done work on Earth spark
>>11562307that explains so much about that dogshit
This faggot James Roberts absolutely did irreparable harm to the entire franchise >always wondered why half the characters have jew hooknoses >theyre all self-inserts Wew. He introduced faggotry to transformers and also had transformers drinking from fucking juice boxes
>>11562336energon juice boxes.. right?
>>11562302>and thinking that having sparks have gender/sex to them is offensiveDid you mean to say that Robert thinks sparks don't have gender? If so that's at least correct. Transformers should not have gender. """Female""" Transformers are an aberration and should be wiped from canon. Furman was right.

>>11562143Him big boy
>>11562258Blokees bros, how do we feel about the loss of stands in exchange for all the new articulation? I don't mind it personally since I mostly pose them on my desk without.
I picked him up mostly for the sake of completion with the rest of the Thirteen, but Onyx actually looks pretty rad.
>>11562499he's so, so fucking close to being awesome...
>>11562488Eternally lmaoing at R.E.D. Would this have been so hard, Hasbro?
>>11562499How much rubber?
>>11562508The 'feathers' on the wings are entirely rubber, but that's about it as far as I can tell.
