>>10958841They look gorgeous
That tan plastic must be really cheap.
>>10958841>New thread on page 9 or 10 or image limit. Any thread that doesn't say this and does not adhere to it or lacks the pastebins is not a legit /tfg/ thread
>>10958849Hasbro is pre yellowing their toys now so people can’t complain.
>>10958856that's smart in a sinister way
>>10958856>>10958860They also painted the whole tighs and crotch plate tan, someone on the deco dpt must love that color.
>>10958841Ack, i dunno if i could handle a third grimlock. Really wish shockwave didnt have that animated paint job.
>>10958862i'm quite fond of judicious use of tan in mecha
>>10958869Seems better suited to a main color so you feel like "I am desert camouflage" instead of "I have discoloration".
Got my Lio Convoy really fast after buying it like wednesday. Hes awesome, his transformation is exactly as involved as I like them to be, his weapojs and storage is cool, and his battle mode is badass. Very awesome toy especially for 20 bucks. My Kingdom Airazor also arrived. I think shes a better use of the mold than Terrorsaur, which I guess is fitting since she was first. As for my Skywarp... the guy forgot to send it. He was in the hospital and forgot and says hes sending it, so lets hope hes an honest dude. Combined with the my failed attempt at a 35 dollar G2 Grimlock, my Transformers luck is mixed as of late.Anywaus, may double dip for znemesis Convoy if I can find him cheap enough.
>>10958869>>10958875It needs more silver mixed in.
>>10958869I wish computers would go back to being beige.
>>10958889Just get a beige case then
Filch needed a decicated voyager mold to then repaint as his brothers, the legacy version we got is a travesty with ith mackdonalds toy tier headsculpt.
>>10958892Kek, I meant her brothers.
>>10958879Literally only problem with Lio is they couldn't manage to get properlooking lion legs out of it, but it's a far cry better than the original toy so no complaints here.>>10958889fuckin top quality computer color but i'm pretty happy with black.
>>10958892Well I mean even that would be too small
>>10958892Ninja Science Crows were a lot smaller than Filch. Being deluxe is more suitable for them even.
>>10958892The headsculpt is irrelevant, though. Nobody's going to display the non-transforming character in robot mode. The bird mode is the only thing that matters for her, and while the one they chose is a bit undersized, it's still a decent enough representation of the character as we see her in canon.
>>10958899ninja crows. we teyandee now?
>>10958903Not particularly. Just a stupid joke about their heads looking like they have bird beaks instead of actually being ninjas.
>>10958902>Nobody's going to display the non-transforming character in robot modeYou're delusional if you think nobody is going to display a fembot in robot mode.
>>10958908I dunno, I keep Blackarachnia and Airazor as beasts most the time.
>>10958909Then you're a special snowflake.
>>10958908But she basically doesn't HAVE a robot mode in canon. You get a one second, out of focus shot of it just so the show designers didn't bitch about the model getting used, but that's it. She's a bird in every other appearance she has, and she doesn't exactly act like a proper Cybertronian fembot - she's more of a giant animal than anything else.
>>10958911And the current design team focuses on robot mode, not beast mode.
>>10958897I never had the original so this is ky first experience, but hes fuckin cool. Whats the deal witj half his chest opening up? I feel like it should have a Transmetal style spark crystal.
>>10958908>>10958909>>10958910I used to display everyone in whichever mode they looked best in. that was before Kingdom.
>>10958914that's his Energon Matrix. he can use it to go super saiya-jin and fire a beam out of it (though this might require Primal to be with him)
>>10958911>But she basically doesn't HAVE a robot mode in canon.Shelf canon > all
>>10958845I like this. I'll get a Studio Series version if they ever do one. I don't get why they make Trion a lion now, but whatever, it gives him a regal presence. Like a robot version of Aslan.
>>10958916I do have Primal... unfortunately his his Energon Matrix is more like a bic lighter as my only blast effects are 86 Hot Rod's
>>10958913Which has nothing to do with the fact that the character is not known for her robot mode. She got one as an afterthought, because she's in a franchise where transformations are the gimmick; nothing more.>>10958921>Shelf canon > allThe hell does that even mean? Is this some advanced form of coping? just admit you care less about the character than you do about (nonexistent) robot titties.
>>10958921i can't disagree with thisi dont understand anyone who watches any western TF shows other than Beast Wars, Animated, and Prime, let alone get attached to the characters.
we could probably get a lot of miles out of this as a meme image
thought it was just a 1 in a million meme but found a bunch of ripped off heads at shartmart the other day.
>>10958955It doesn't really cover new ground though.
>>10958911Its ok if you're happy with that mediocre retool, but some of us want something better, hope a 3p save her like they did with Airachnid.
>>10958959whatever new ground you want covered, you'd edit it onto his little placard.
>>10958960how the fuck was this thing meant to transform. i see no rest-of-the-wings, and nowhere for her hands to go.isn't this the show that made a bunch of decently cool designs but didn't even bother thinkin up transformations for them, and many of them didn't get toys other than little baby versions?
>>10958933>I don't get why they make Trion a lion nowIt's a botcon thing. Goes all the way back to the 90s.
>>10958960It would be cool if a dedicated one happened, but it probably came from trying to think of a reuse for Airazor. >>10958966Yep.
>>10958967it works for me, i just need an uncompromised transformationlion legs that have femur, shin, and footlion head that isn't undersized, and doesn't split into awkward half-shells for pauldrons or something (at LEAST have a back of the shell fold out)and a torso that finds a good way to shorten (legacy lio / movie voyager cheetor do it perfectly)
>>10958955
>>10958933>I don't get why they make Trion a lion nowBack during the time of Beast Machines, BotCon released a concept of BM Snarl redecoed as Beast Era Alpha Trion.For BotCon's 20th anniversary, they did a bunch of homages to past BotCons, including Alpha Trizer, the Prime Thundertron toy redone in purple. This toy represented a fusion of Alpha Trion and post-BM Cheetor.For the Titans Return toyline, both the above toys were homaged for the triplechanger Alpha Trion toy, going from robot to spaceship to lion.Now we have One lion Trion.We've also gotten a handful of vehicle Alpha Trion toys along the way, so it's not JUST lions.
>>10958966My guess is something close to BH Cuthroath.
>>10958973perfect!put the plastic back in dagnabbit.i just finally succesfully explained to my mom, after years of trying, the simple fact that we don't throw our trash into the ocean. so it wouldn't matter if we made straws ENTIRELY out of turtle poison, it wouldn't contribute to a single cute animal death.
>>10958966Well one of the results if you search Filch Transformers is a custom that repaints that one into her, seems plausible.
>>10958975This line, and the 4th movie line, had SUCH frustratingly cool designs, irritatingly made into quite crummy, overly-simple toys.
>>10958979>>10958975Crap. I was aiming to quote this post.
>>10958981huh, fascinating. so the bird just had visible arms.
>>10958980That Cutthroat is just the Prime Cyberverse toy upscaled.
>>10958965Keep crying.
>>10958983the what now
>>10958960You're still not getting that she's one instance where the robot mode is completely unimportant. The one image you posted is a cherrypicked image that's onscreen for a grand total of 3 seconds; for the other 20 minutes and 9 seconds of the episode, she's a bird. It's why they picked the Kingdom mold for her instead of finding something with a robot form that more closely resembles the artwork - the bird mode is the form she's known for and the one that's more important to get right. Robot mode is a literal afterthought that's there because it has to be.Honestly, you should've just said that you only know of the character from the Wiki article you skimmed through, since it's plain you genuinely do not understand what her whole deal was.>>10958966>how the fuck was this thing meant to transform.It wasn't. That's pretty much the point - she's a giant bird. The robot mode is shown for that one scene because it was on her character sheet, but it's not even acknowledged in the episode that she can transform - the Autobots' files only show the bird mode, and every instance where transforming would have actually helped her (like when shaking off Bee on the bridge or throwing Strongarm off her back near her nest) she just opted to flutter around and peck at people like a pissed off crow instead. The actual transformation in that one shot even happens offscreen - she jumps off the statue, passes behind the ledge there, and pops back up in bird mode.>>10958975With some improvements (especially to those exposed robot arms), this actually would have been a decent choice of mold for her.
>>10958987Is this a "the name was unavailable, but different continuity so I'm going to ignore being called by the name of the guy I'm based on" case?
>>10958987Sorry, "Windrazor".The deluxe class Beast Hunters Windrazor and Twinstrike were just the Prime Cyberverse, Legion Class Windrazor and Twinstrike toys, but made bigger.
>>10958974BM Snarl really was a cool mold. I loved the Universe colors, in particular.
>>10958987>>10958996The Cyberverse Bumblebee and Smokescreen toys also got upscaled with them.
>>10958990Well they did change the transformation of the airazor mold to put the wings on her arms, like that robot mode displayed however briefly in the show. so they obviously cared about that.
>>10958990>she's one instance where the robot mode is completely unimportantFor weirdos like you, but this transformers she needs to transform or fuck off to the RED line.
>>10959001It's partsforming.
>>10958996>Hun-Gurr's 'torso mode' is just him throwing his hands in the air like he just don't careGod, this was a shitty Abominus.
>>10958992what is 'prime cyberverse' those are two different franchises
>>10959004It was small.
>>10958999bizarre! i had no idea. i'm really surprised they don't do this kind of thing more often. especially making some modifications along the way.>>10958998ehhhh those legs, and the forward-jutting robot mode head (with a perfectly straight upright torso, if anything back arched backward) doesn't work for me. the rest is good. I actually love the front paw transformation.
>>10958998Uh, first time noticing the punisher skull on his chest, had hime for a short time.
>>10959003whaaaat
>>10959005No, just name reuse. Cyberserse was used for the Legion and Commander size classes in DotM and Prime toylines. Easily known by the 3mm usage.
>>10958965I can't wait till the day somebody types "3P" and you don't chime in, a golden sign that you finally roped yourself and did the only good choice in your entire life
>>10959005Anon, the 2018 Cyberverse series was not the first time "Cyberverse" was used in the franchise.The first time was shared between Dark of the Moon and Prime, as the smaller, budget versions of mainline toys. They had two size classes: the smaller "Legions", and the slightly bigger "Commanders". There were also larger vehicles the toys could pilot, which transformed to bases and weapon platforms, and conect together.
>>10959004It was ok, but Hun-Grr needed to be bigger, the limb mods looked better with the new deluxe torso mold on the repaint.
>>10959010that's so retardedno fucking wonder the paint budget is so tight, hasbro execs are drinking it all
>>10959001Those are done through partsforming, which is more or less proof that it's an afterthought - if they actually cared, they would have found a mold that actually uses the wings for the arms.>>10959002Dude, this is like saying Transmutate needed an alt mode because she was on a Transformers show. If the character was consistently shown in beast mode while the robot mode was more or less entirely ignored, than the priority should be on the mode she actually used, right?>fuck off to the RED line.Bit of a difference there - the RED line was for characters that DID transform, but which people just wanted an action figure for. Filch CAN transform but actively chose not to, and the mode she preferred was the non-humanoid one, which automatically disqualifies her from RED.
>>10959014yes, this one looks amazing. There are still some really stupid parts to it, but it's less crazy in this unified color.
>>10959009IT'SPARTSFORMING.Airazor's wings were retooled to be removable, so they could plug into the arms. The actual transformation wasn't changed.
>>10959015It means they have the trademark. It is more being lazy/cost-efficient than retarded.
>>10959016well i'll be interested to see how they attach to the wings-proper, and whether I can flip them upside down or summat.>>10959018i stand by my incredulous and elongated 'what' that is ridicks.
>>10959011There is at least one impersonator, so that will take a while.
>>10959019imagine if other products did this>Casio Keyboards with "Indi-Glo" being recycled to mean light-up keys>Honey Bunches of a Different, Unrelated Cereal>Butt Snaffler brand toilet paper
>>10959014He looks less like a hodgepodge, and that torso is definitely much better than Prime Hun-Gurr.On the other hand, now he looks like he's Prime Predaking's weird lovechild; I just hope the mother was Ripclaw.
>>10959024There probably are other cases of this, but I don't care enough about those to find them.
>>10959016>Transmutate needed an alt mode because she was on a Transformers showAnd she got one when she was released on kingdom, but she shoud've been part of RED, then again those in charge of RED are retards using the same size for character,>>10959017Unified deco on combiners is a touchy subject, some think Superion looks boring for it, I like both uniform and patchy decos on them.
>>10959030Kingdom Transmutate's altmode is a pile of disconnected parts. RIP>>10959030yeahhh it really depends on what the character is meant to be. I kind of prefer if they just pick two or three colors, similar to G1 Devastator, but making sure some of them have more of one color, others have more of the other.
>>10959021anon, we know how the wings attach. we have pictures of the toy. this isn't a mystery.
>>10959034I didn't say YOU will be interested to see, I said -I- would be.I know we look and smell alike, but I'm a different guy.
>>10959037But you don't need to be "interested to see". Just look at the photos. You can know and understand right now, this instant.
>>10959021>well i'll be interested to see how they attach to the wings-proper, and whether I can flip them upside down or summat.>>10959037>I said -I- would be.NTA, but we know exactly how they attach, and have known since the first images of her dropped. The wingtips are on 5mm pegs with a joint on each to make them flex; they can plug into her actual wings for beast mode, detacha nd plug into the 5mm peg holes on the backs of her robot arms (like Terrorsaur's 'spikes' or Airazor's guns), or be held in her hands like swords (that she never had). Again, nothing was changed for the actual transformation, and the only reason we got that much for her was because they needed to retool her wings anyway to make them look like they're made of shrapnel instead of feathers. The primary focus of Legacy Filch was getting the bird mode to look like her show appearance.
>>10959042>>10959041I see how they attach to the arms, but I don't see how they attach to her wing-stubs.I can see from this photo, at least, that the connectors seem to be on a hinge, so that much is already fascinating. there's a ton of potential there.
Surprised there’s only one female leaked for 2025 with Solus Prime.Well I guess there’s also the Crasher package refresh.
>>10959042that gappy chest.. ooh.. bet they're really wishing airazor had movable robotmode chest-sides like Dinobot, so they could retool those for retools. and so it would look better. Or they could have just made her fucking falconhawk head bigger, which would look better in both modes.
>>10958849I don't mind it.
>>10959045LOOKATTHEBEASTMODETHENYOUIDIOT
>>10959045>I don't see how they attach to her wing-stubs.They peg in from underneath. the two areas I circled here are the holes they connect to.>>10959047Yeah, while Filch did have a small bird head, it was still much larger in proportion to her torso than Kingdom Airazor's was; unfortunately, to make the transformation work, they had to keep the same dimensions so it could rotate around and fit into the chest slot.
>>10959053no pics in this thr->>10959055oh there it is. Ohhh from underneath you say? Yeah I can see the spot now... well then you could definitely swap them to flip them upside down to make robot mode more interesting. I might try that.I will say, the way the recycled parts have clashing feather detail is really stupid. and anyone who is angry about that is a correct and smart gentleman.
>>10959030Victorion looks like shit with her unified deco, but perhaps that comes down to rusty red and oxidized copper green aren't a great comboMegatronia looks much better because even if the components have different colours they all share heavy dose of black that ties them together
>>10959046It only includes standard retail ones, so could easily be something like a future 4-pack with Glyph from Target, Universe Shadow Striker and Roulette for Amazon. Probably hits an issue of what mold reuse is viable for the ones that haven't been made recently. There is a Widow Maker in Studio Series and Transformers One might have some coming out.
>>10959058I take my Victorion out for display on December 1st and leave her up 'til New Years.
That transformers One movie looks like shit just going by the trailer. Its a marvel tier "SO THAT JUST HAPPENED!!" quipfest. Jesus christ.
>>10959056You don't need pics from the thread. Just look at the pics all over the internet.
>>10959056>I will say, the way the recycled parts have clashing feather detail is really stupidI agree - they were already remolding parts for the wings, so why not just redo all the connectors as smooth bits while they were at it? Instead, they went and molded feather details onto her back and wing bases to try to make it blend, which is completely stupid and totally inaccurate - filch was made entirely of sharp metal bits with no organic parts whatsoever. Still, I'd be willing to overlook it - if they had given her a proper spiky tail.
>>10959064i'm sick of people ragging on whedon quips, that's still funny and interestingwhen you try, and fail, to ape that, and it comes out sounding lame and stupid, yeah that's dumb. but whedon and those marvel movies were fine. well I've stopped watching them, has their dialogue gotten worse? Guardians 3 was great.
>>10959066that really was unforgivabru.maybe we'll get a thirdparty one
>>10959059>and Transformers One might have some coming out.Elita seems likely.
>>10959068>i'm sick of people ragging on whedon quips, that's still funny and interesting>>/Reddit/
I hope SS86 Rodimus Prime happens.
>>10959072every time I say something funny or clever, people say 'reddit'meanwhile I go to reddit and it's wall to wall joyless hyper-PC turds. Not a quip in the bunch.
>>10959074What would that do the commander one doesn't?
>>10959081better face and more accurate alt modeinstead of bothering with the separate car mode they should integrate the front half of the trailer into the robot.
>>10959077A better comparison would be SomethingAwful.I'd be proud to be compared to a goon.
>>10959086n... no... that's the opposite of whedonism. that sounds like... urban talk? Or like the dumb little kids these days who listen to rap and tiktok?what we're talking about is fun 90s-style quips. like spider-man uses to piss off his villains.
>>10959089Spider-Man's entire thing is that he is annoying. That seems like a bad idea to emulate him.
>>10959090doesn't annoy me, it annoys cranky old bad guys.Anon, when you watch an Animaniacs sketch, do you relate more to the Warners, or to the uptight mook they're pestering?
>>10959082Unlikely. Even Ultra Magnus can detach his cab from the trailer despite not having a white Optimus Prime.
>>10959091Isn't that the cartoon that is only known for porn?
>>10959082So, the Masterpiece toy?
How are there still no pictures comparing leader BW Megaton's alt mode and Landsaur?
>>10959096I think you're thinking of something else.. Animaniacs porn is pretty rare.
So Flatline is going to be a retool of Red Alert when his design was based on Trailcutter/Trailbreaker to begin with? Strange.
>>10959082A higher budget version of titanium rod? eh, just get a potp head fo the commander and stickers to add the missing paint.
>>10959108G1 Red Alert or Armada?
>>10959105I can help you with that, anon. https://youtu.be/a1eSU4YD4y0?si=x4dzG0ud1I7i2eoL&t=1721
>>10959082
>>10959077>meanwhile I go to redditSo you literally ARE a Redditfag?Actually piss off already
that was actually pretty good bait
>>10959115Finally, thank you.
>>10959108Source? Also >his design, Which one? His IDW1 design, I'm assuming? Since his original Bayverse comic design was thought about eventually becoming a hearse, I believe, but never realized.
>>10959124The leaker on tfw
>>10959122that dinky little head...would it have killed a puppy if they just made it bigger? and the front of the torso too. I actually don't know what that part turns into on magmatron, so maybe if it's the hip-chunks, they were trying to minimize those.. but come on, the head!!! would it be such a crime if Magmatron had one really big head hanging off of his shoulder?
>>10959058Man, Megatronia team was so looked down on by me when first announced.Now I regret it. I want it so bad. The only time we’ll ever get an all femcon team and they have a fun dynamic Combined form is bad ass.I’m surprised there’s not more fanfiction and fan art of her.Maybe if they ever appear in a cartoon.
>>10959115Lol, saw this yesterdayWTF is with the super flash bang lighting
>>10959126So which Red Alert did he say?
>>10958841When is that Grimlock supposed to open up for pre-orders? I was under the impression it would with the Shockwave but it never did.
>>10959129not my favorite reviewer, but good footage.
>>10959133Oddly, we still don't know.
>>10959128Being a region-exclusive redeco of Victorion limits them greatly. But if the expected release pattern occurs and the limbs can be swapped between different sets, a remake should be viable in 2026/2027, depending on if Megaempress needs to specifically be a fire truck or a torso truck in general.
>>10959133I thought it was supposed to be a month after ShockwaveWhich would be about now, non?
>>10959136Weird, not that I expect it to be wildly popular since it's a weird deco but you'd think they would be pushing it.
>>10959108>when his design was based on Trailcutter/Trailbreaker to begin with?He was based on T30 Trailcutter, he looks nothing like the 84-based ER mold.Armada Red Alert is a much better fit, especially sine they're both emergency vehicles.
>>10959126Who, JTPrime? He hasn't posted anything since wednesday, and nothing on Flatline.
>>10959127Its small, but most people won't notice it, fuck most people will think its a T-rex, its pretty close for a toyline thats not meant to do realistic replicas.
>>10959109question, should Rodimus get a super mode like Optimus?
>>10959149Its a giganotosaurus.
>>10959134how is that good footage, you can't see half the shit because of how bright it is
>>10959137>>10959128I just remembered that Dead End forms an arm for Menasor instead of a leg, so Flowspade would need to use Wild Rider as the base. Conviently Combiner Wars didn't have 1:1 altmodes to the G1 toys, so you could probably bullshit it away.
>>10959149this is a regular allosaur though. svelte, slender, nice narrow jaw for snapping up thingies.landsaur is supposed to be a giganotosaurus, and you can see from the sculpt that that's the direction they were going. they basically sculpted a big head, then scaled it downplus again, the torso is too blunt. It's not really an issue of realism so much as 'hang on that doesn't look right' to the eye.if you can come up with something that looks BETTER than reality, then absolutely try that instead.
>>10959143Yeah you know if true I'm not entirely against him being an Armada Red Alert retool, since Red Alert has a very oddly-human body underneath; it could be a neat way of making Flatline resemble his more alien-proportioned Bayverse design.Hopefully it would be more than just a headswap, but even if it is, I'm sure it wouldn't be the end of the world(?)I'd just be glad we got A half-decent Flatline ever, lmao.But again, like... Anon pls give source to your claims
>>10959157which is a -kind- of allosaurus
Fuck off with your nerd lizards.
>>10959162>>10959143>>10959108Theres a 3d printable head for the legacy skids and t30 trailcutter molds, skids version is free.
>>10959081With any luck, be better. I don't expect it to happen, I just wish it would.
what can I buy on ebay
>>10958849Why can't Americans get first hand reviews?
>>10959197hookers
>>10959197according to a commercial i saw once, maybe even a car.
>>10959197I saw someone try to sell a skull once.
>>10959208i think that's allowed as long as it's not human.and I feel like some dispensation would be made for the 'no human remains' rule
>>10959122Goddamn hes bigger than I expected.
>>10959197A pair of old glasses that belonged to some nutcase who explored the Arctic.
>>10959213right? this thing's gonna be giganticthe review guy suggested the REASON it's so big is just so they could have these two at nearly equal size.
>>10959214ARE YOU USER'S NAME LADIESMAN217?!?!
>>10959199They do all the time... with marvel legends.
>>10958879I cannot put this guy down! Not only is he fun to pose, his transformations great and that battle mode is absolutely awesome! He is LOADED with weapons! It takes me back to the days of gimmick filled Beast Wars figures. Honestly for a modern TF his extra features are pff the chart!In other news, I'm a dumbass. I have been turning Roadhauler's head around during transformation... I had no clue whatsoever that it could be flipped to hide the head. I have had him since December, guys.
>>10959267I'm not into the battle mode, but I'm glad it's there for people who like it.. and it's not THAT weird to have things come out of the mane.
>>10959268I like it a lot more in Robot mode with the knife arms extended and all 4 guns wielded, but its cool that it does that in beast mode too.It would be cool if his front teeth were sharper and didn't look so much like buck teeth.
>>10959277buck teeth are mice type, you're thinking of Goofy teeth.

>>10959288so they can shill the movie theater release
>>10959291that's so stupidif it were the creator of baseball it'd be Abner Doublegay.
>>10958841is there a mod or part for the new Animated Bumblebee's stingers? I just want them sticking straight out from his wrists instead of having to attach them to the blasters
>>10959300when this toy came out, I could swear someone showed how that was already possible.
Is the G1 Jazz toy good - like, the original G1 toy? Have there been any decent reissues of it recently?Last month I bought a G1 Optimus reissue on a whim, it was on sale and I thought it was cute; but my mom really liked it and said she thought "it was the coolest Optimus I owned" lol, and then absent-mindedly wondered if they did one for Jazz, since that's her favorite character, so I'm considering maybe getting her a G1 Jazz for her birthday if it's about the same quality as cab-only Optimus (she doesn't barely buys any toys, so I want the few she does have to be nice, lol). Luckily her bday isn't wat until the end of the year so I've got tons of time to consider stuff lol.
*She barely buys, and *isn't way until, my bad.
>>10958841Now that dust has settled, what do we think of it?I am hyped, I dont buy the film being a comedy, I think its just marketing to get kids.Trailerhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5a09yJU-mCI
>>10959317I dont know what else to tell you other than it looks like mass produced hollywood trash spewing out jokes a mile a minute.>we'll never get a more serious movie thats as good as the cybertron games were
>>10959317>Now that dust has settledIt hasn't, though - the thing isn't even out yet, so i's impossible to give a final verdict until someone has seen it in its entirety.I stand by my opinion that, from what we've seen of it, it looks like utter garbage - but there's plenty of time for me to be proven wrong.
>>10959322Sometimes I wonder if Legendary will get the rights to produce TF films. If I were Hasbro, I would have began the deals after TLK flopped.
Well Seymour I've picked up the GE Starscream despite your DirectionsA clean Robot, Good range of Articulation, Nice details and he feels fun to mess withI guess now all that's left is
>>10959324the Godzilla fandom hates what the monsterverse franchise became so I doubt it'd be any better
>>10959325GOOD GOD WHAT IS GOING ON IN THERE
>>10959328Uh- an Arwing!
>>10959328This is one of the worst jet modes ever
>>10958933I wish Dr. WU would re-release that scepter. I wanted the clear blue one because I thought it might go well with Sharkticon Megatron but waited too long to order one and it was gone.
Man this makes me appreciate them a bit moreAlso a weak spot for the Mini Botshttps://twitter.com/gLYjzoShlTvAN0g/status/1774640561066234235
>>10959322>>10959327Not gonna lieThis shit Is hilarious, it’s like edgy teens complaining about dad jokes
>>10959354Mm yes SlopGod I love Slop so much. Thank you yum yum more please?
>>10959300You can do that, the stingers have 3mm pegs and peg into the wrist when the fists are stored.
>>10959327I'm in the Godzilla fandom and I like the monsterverse
>>10959356Let me guess, bay films weren’t slop?
>>10959328>>10959340They made the cockpit too big.
>>10959327Just the tiny minority of purist that won't take anything made out of glorious nihon, most of those being murican fans, Japan likes the monsterverse.
>>10959363Yeah. It also doesn't help that they made it soft plastic from some reason
>>10959372for*Shit, I should go to sleep
>>10959317>Now that dust has settled Back to /co/ with you.
>>10959301>>10959358I should've said "I want them straight-forward" or something. Instead, they're angled just to reference the old shitty toy. I need a part or mod de-angles them
>>10959363The original Mold was near perfect, Just small and lacked a few paint details
>>10959360>>10959364This, we have best of both Godzilla type moviesI guarantee if final wars released right now they’d say the same thing
>>10959361Not defending that guy, I'm also someone who rhinks it was merely a bad trailer, but we still don't really know what the true film is like; that said, I actually do still prefer the humor from the Bay films to most of Hollywood today lol - or at least the og Bay Trilogy, AoE and TLK were passionless and felt gross. But, yeah, I really liked the dry humor between the bots and the schizophrenically-paced college humor from the humans. It felt sincere, in a way. Today, I mean I enjoyed many pre-Endgame MCU films and James Gunn's films, and the Monsterverse, but it feels like the rest of Hollywood is still trying too hard to emulate Avengers in very tone-deaf ways. Nothing has as much bite but sincerety as the Bay trilogy's humor nowadays; Gunn's films come close but are also, yknow, not the same. Not that I expect them to be, but- ehhh I feel this train of thought got off-track from the board, I'll just leave it at that. :PTl;dr I hope TF:One is good, have barely any expectations though besides maybe disliking the art/designs; too bland. I just know I'm looking forward to seeing Sentinel at least, and finally seeing Tom Kenny as Starscream again haha. Also the Quintessons'll hopefully be cool, the one in the trailer looked neat.
>>10959384In fairness, Bumblebee merged them together tons of times during the show. That said, if you want show-accuracy, you'd be better off avoiding the Legacy figure altogether.In my ideal figure, I think the way I'd handle it would be to make them stick straight out of his wrists when attached, but give him butterfly joints somehow so he could more convincingly hold them together. And in fairness, even in the show, they didn't line up perfectly; there was a visible gap between the stingers oftentimes, as the distance between his arms got further lol.
>>10959405>Tom Kenny as StarscreamWas that confirmed anywhere? I mean, I certainly wouldn't mind him doing it again, but that seems to hold about as much water as Keanu as Shadow (Yes, I know multiple sources reported that, but it still has yet to confirmed by Paramount)
>>10959325Can't help it but his cockpit looks like the back of a large cockroach.
Is Legacy Powerlinx Hot Shot & Jolt a good buy? The set is discounted at $30 at Hasbro Pulse.
>>1095945225 would be better but that's a fine enough price for it
>>10959452I like them, also more effects are always a good thing. Jolt is very fun, so much better than siege micromasters.
>>10959452I bought it because back in the day I saw pictures of the original and thought it looked like Blaster, and I wanted it because of that. "That's the closest I'll ever get to a new Blaster toy"
>>10959416>Was that confirmed anywhere?Huh, I could've sworn it was but nothing so far... But, apparently the "main antagonist" is being voiced by Steve Buscemi. Hhhuh. Don't know how I missed that. Assuming he's gonna be a Quint, then, or someone else? That'll... definitely be something, yeah, sure.
Target's having a sale on TF toys.Question though, if the Target site says something is unavailable for pickup, delivery, or shipping, but says "available in stores" next to where it lists my closest store, does that mean they specifically have it in stock and I merely need to buy it in person, or that "some stores may have it in stock lol gg's"?
Landsaurus' transformation was annoying due to the sword handle but I'm enjoying them more than I realised in beast mode.
>>10959492Target is usually good about keeping up with their inventory, so it means they have it in stock unless you got ninja'dt. used target to judge when my store had army-builder packs
The chimera mode or whatever. Its interesting to say the least.
>>10959602It looks better from the front.
Is this true?
>>10959607It's what the women are truly after
>>10959602>Copulatory_Tie.jpg
>>10959607Just had sex and it sadly isn't, you're stuck here forever
>>10959607Beast Wars makes for good pillow talk
>>10959632>You call that Maximized?
>>10959632https://youtu.be/eT7l_kQjfCU?si=XfytMovtTIjTx_II
>>10959607No, just the pain that she doesn't want to hear it all. I love her so much, I can contain my autism for her.
>>10959607I'm having a second kid in August, its not true. Just dont be a tjomega and you'll be fine
>>10959607Maybe if you lose it to pussy. This is why bionicle fans just get stronger in terms of lore obsession, those trannies just dump lore into each other's bussies.
>>10959668So the reason I lost interest in Bionicle when I was teenaged was not being a transsexual.
>>10959668I'm still bitter that Bionicle became one of those default "00's nerd things" that weirdos on Twitter sperg on about instead of my own niche infodump.
>>10959675Bionicle was popular once, so it makes sense a lot of people would talk about it.
>>10959055why did they go through the effort to retool her wings but left the tail the same? It's WAY too short and still looks like organic feathers It makes no sense since the tail doesn't really affect her transformation, it just sort of chills out in the back of both modes.
>>10959614Can confirm from personal experience. She didn't know or care much about TF lore until I happened.
>>10959661What's he done now?
Between Terrosaur, Dinobot, Tyrannocon, Dilophocon, and my u0coming Magmatron, are there any BW style Dinos I'm missing- outside of Megs, Maximal Grimlock, and T-Wreck?As for mechanical dinos, I still only have Slug, but I'm gonna finish the organic ones first.
>>10959711Idk man but hes like the stereotypical example of a TF nerd. A caricature even.
>>10959607Na my gf is a little horndog and yet here I am, reading every post because I need all the TF info
>>10959717The upper arms are supposed to clip into the shoulders, you're also missed the knee sideways sliding (push the black block into the upper legs)
Just got bootleg Legends Cerebros from aliexpress (its also on ebay), quality wise is pretty close to the official with clean paint aps, has no electronics but still worth the 12 bucks I paid for it.
>>10959713>outside of Megs, Maximal Grimlock, and T-Wreck?Grimlock I can understand, since he was part of a 2-pack, but why on earth would you have skipped Megatron and T-Wrecks? Yeah, you've got Tyrannocon, but the mold is awesome enough to own all of 'em, especially Wrecks for that Not!Diablo colorscheme.To answer your question, you're still missing Vertebreak and Dracodon (another really good mold that's worth grabbing), as well as the Fossilizers; yeah, they're skeletons, but they're dino skeletons, and that's awesome. Plus the toy colors versions of Dinobot and Terrorsaur are worth grabbing - they're different enough from the originals that you can headcanon them as new characters if you want.Oh, and don't forget TM2 Megatron. He's close enough to justify as a dinosaur, and is probably the best rendition of the character to date anyway.
>>10959328I honestly prefer this alt mode over most of the Cybertronian shrugs we get, including the new Cybertron Starscream some people are wanking over. The cockpit is unfortunate, though.
>>10959713Did you got the bones?
>>10959767These apparently have a breakage issue with their hip connectors, fair warning.https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/ko-lg31-titans-return-cerebros-fortress.1260709/page-5#post-22268584
>>10959775Eh, still worth the gamble for 12 bucks, I already have the SDCC version, but wanted the japanese deco to match the japanese characters we've been getting lately.Just like this pic on that thread.
How's the new animated Optimus?
>>10959780Fun
>>10959317I think it's a bad trailer for what will end up being a good movie. Trailers are typically not made by the movie team, but a separate marketing team.It's also revealed to me a large number of people are faceblind, don't know Transformer history, or both. I've seen multiple complaints about how the designs "don't look like the characters". - B-127 has the same five-part facial structure as G1.- D-16, being a young, early Megatron, has the rounded black helmet of the early comics and toy commerical animations. He's still got the finalized Megatron "cheekbones".- No, Orion Pax doesn't have a faceplate, and he's not voiced by Cullen. JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL ORION PAX.- Elita-1 is the outlier, not using her "young" design or name from the G1 cartoon. I suspect they want to keep the sorta-theme of names having numbers in them. She still looks like Elita-1.I've also seen people bitching about they can't transform at the start, which... is accurate to both the G1 cartoon and comics, and several other Transformers series afterwards. The Transformer species had to LEARN how to transform.
>>10959782Helmets are far more important for identifying characters. Your image shows that B-127 and Orion Pax have very different helmets.
>>10959782has the rounded black helmet and yellow/orange eyes*
>>10959782The ancestral ones were capable of transformation in G1. That was far before the time of the current ones they couldn't transform.
>>10959781It's one of the few Legacy figures that have interested me and I just now got around to ordering one. It seems solid.
>>10959784B-127 has the movie helmet design and Orion has the typical Prime-y helmet design. I didn't say they were 1:1 recreations, but they're clearly still the characters.>>10959786The trailer establishes that the miner workforce are denied transformation ("We can't even transform", meaning some CAN, and it's known that they can) and Alpha Trion grants the cast new T-cogs he had lying around.
>>10959791He SHOULDN'T have a Optimus Prime helmet at this point, especially one that just looks like a baby version that hasn't grown in yet. You must be the designer for the Generations Orion Pax.
>>10959782We see others can transform so its more of a class thing, probably quints dont want the plebs to transform.
>>10959786In the G1 cartoon the Autobots invented transformation, which the Decepticons copied.In the comics, the first issue depicted the reverse happening.Early Cybertronians not being able to transform is not a novel concept.
>>10959317By the numbers made for specifically stupid kids shite.
>>10959788Animated Bee and Prime are some of the best United releases. I know people have issues with Bee's price, but I don't even think about it while playing around with him.
>>10959769Not so much that I skipped them, but Jurassic Park is my fsvorite.movie of all time so I jumped on that set as soon as I knew about it, which was only maybe middle of last year. I just prioritized molds I didn't have before getting other versions of ones I do have you know?I have TM2 megs (love him), may get fossilizers but idk their robot modes arent very satisfying to me, and the Terorsaur and Dinobot I have are the toy colors because I'm a nostslgic 90s boomer.We'll see on fossilizers, some of them do go for very cheap.
>>10959325Can you hunch him like the game model when you're playing as him?
>>10959792Again: not 1:1. It's a new universe, they can do what they want.>>10959793I didn't say the new movie has them learning as a species, I said the old material had them learning as a species.I'm not saying the movie is perfectly recreating old stuff.I'm saying people are bitching about the new movie making up new shit when it's actually ideas and designs that have been in the franchise for ages.
>>10959386The original mold is massively disproportionate to the game model in several areas. It wasn't perfect by any means.On the other hand, the new mold is disproportionate in other areas, and the old one just looks better.
>>10959071Talk about a character with a glow up.Elita fans have been eaten well since 2018 after 3 decades of negligence.POTP ElitaWfC Trilogy ElitaEarthspark ElitaLegacy ElitaErial 2-packTransformers One Elita on the way
>>10959805Now if only one of her designs was actually cool.
>>10959799>may get fossilizers but idk their robot modes arent very satisfying to meyeah, some of them are weird (though in Transmutate's case, the weirdness works and it's possible to arrange her limbs to make her look close to the show), and I get that the partsforming bit doesn't click with everyone, but I still recommend any of the three (four, counting Spindle) bots that use the Paleotrex mold, at least.Also, I'll again vouch for Vertebreak and Dracodon - they're skele-dinos, but aren't 'Fossilizers' in that they don't partsform. They're just cool little Dracorexes that are among the best Core class 'bots they've created to date.
>>10959807You may not like it but the POTP has the ideal fembot body.
>>10959811>Stickers
>>10959811She looks like Bayverse Starscream. Does that make that flying Dorito a femboy?
>>10959804>and the old one just looks better.That's how I feel about all of the GE Studio Series so far, with the exception of Sideswipe (which still doesn't look good enough for me to want). I wish I still had my old WFC Optimus. The new one is pretty disappointing.
>>10959820No. It was a Starscream first.
>>10959568damn, this really does look acceptable.sorry, wallet.
>>10959607transformers lore is stored in the balls
>>10959651i love that he shakes his head no at the end, as if to hammer in 'i'm being sarcastic, i actually don't like you at all.'
>>10959492What's the sale? Is it a percentage off or something else? I ask because their website is always ass for finding that kind of thing out...
>>10959703hasbro's current rule is make every toy as cheap as you can get away with to make it look good from -one- angle
>>1095985120% off any TF toys, it's a weekly deal thing.
>>10959712we're aware he's male
>>10959811The desaturated pink sucked and then they used it again on the netflix version.
>>10959317I'm not planning to watch it, much like I'm not giving money to anything else Earthspark-adjacent. Not even planning to whine about it further; the less money and attention it gets the better.
>>10959867Arcee is the pink one, so she doesn't have much a role if you don't fiddle with the colors.
>>10959607The moment I started hanging out with my girlfriend she got interested in the Japanese continuity herself, so nope
>>10959782>IT DOESN'T LOOK BAD BECAUSE (SQUIGGLY LINES THAT SHOW THE CHEEKS ARE THE SAME OR WHATEVER)Anon...I get it, you like the movie, but this is next-level cope. People aren't saying "this doesn't look exactly as the cartoon, therefore it's bad", people are saying "it looks bad because it looks uncanny and doesn't really look like 90% of Transformers media". You're pulling an IlooklikeBarackObama.com right now.
>>10959809>purple GrimlockWhat's that?!
>>10959876Transformers is the Sonic the Hedgehog of robot toys.
>>10959880Looks like the Newage G2 Grimlock.
>>10959869Arcee has more white than pink, also the heads and over all silhouettes are different enough for them to share colors.
>>10959888Not when Elita-1 also turns into a vague approximation of a car with massive backpack and shoulder pylons.
>>10959796hang on, doesn't G1 have the quintesson-slaves backstory? that predates autobots and decepticons, and they were built to transform..
>>10959897Don't ask questions.
>>10959876a lot of people look like obama.. especially Indonesian people.
>>10959897https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXzvE3I39t8Autobot-Decepticon wars began before transforming was invented in the cartoon
>>10959900so it doesn't have the quintesson slaves backstory
>>10959893That only applies to 1 of her 3 figures.
>>10959897No, transformation came later.
>>10959900What did the Quintessons call their products? Obviously Transformer is out of the question since they couldn't do that. Just Autobot and Decepticon? Although those don't really convey designed for domestic use and designed for military use that well.
>>10959906but isn't the backstory that the quintessons made transforming slaves, the better for doing a greater variety of labor? they can carry but they can also haul shit, etc?
>>10959897>and they were built to transform..they weren't.
>>10959901What is the "it" you're referring to?
>>10959607>>10959632>>10959651>"Just be gentle,, Take it easy""Dully Noted, And ignored"
>>10959880As >>10959882 says, it's the NewAge H44V Ymir (G2 Version), and he's blue (my camera is just shitty). I got impatient waiting for a mainline release of him; he's nice, but rather small.
>>10959912>but isn't the backstory that the quintessons made transforming slaves, the better for doing a greater variety of labor? they can carry but they can also haul shit, etc?No. They simply made humanoid robots. You are incorrect.
>>10959912Quintessons are cheap bastards. They didn't design them that way so they could save on development costs.
>>10959913>>10959919then why do I think that?I never watched G1, but this is what I was always told. Was this a different backstory? the comics perhaps?
>>10959924>then why do I think that?Jesus fucking Christ, is your ego so fragile that you can't simply be... wrong? To have... misremembered something? Get the fuck over yourself. People make mistakes. It's okay to make mistakes.
>>10959924Because without vehicle modes there isn't much differentiation between them. The ancient Autobots are certainly not designs you would want your domestic slaves to have and the ancient Decepticons are lacking in visible weaponry.
>>10959927I forget things all the time, but my memory rarely invents something specific like that.I meant it literally, why do I think that? What am I thinking of, since it's not G1?
>>10959930Physical appearance and armament is not the only factor. Strategic programming, mobility, joint strength, sensors, etc can differentiate different lines of products.
>>10959933You are thinking of "oops my brain forgot the correctness of one detail and substituted in something that sounds correct in its place."GET OVER YOURSELFPEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES
>>10959933Don't worry. The official explanation for why they can transform is just "we just invented it". And might also involve an organ called T-Cog because it appears in one episode.
>>10959933>What am I thinking of, since it's not G1?Nothing, because that's never been the case.
When's comic Grimlock?
>>10959927>>10959936Dude, you're completely overreacting to his post. He forgot a tiny detail that really never had a satisfactory answer to begin with; no need to have an aneurysm over it like some kind of sperg. It's one thing to correct someone, it's quite another to rant and rave over them needing to 'get over themselves' for getting confused - it just makes you look full of yourself in the end.
>>10959941huh, fuckin weird. it's such a specific memory. oh well.
>>10959942Cancelled because not enough pre-orders.
>>10959946Anon, I'm not putting him on blast for forgetting or being confused. I'm putting him on blast for repeatedly refusing to believe that it's possible for him to forget or be confused.
>>10959948Maybe if you weren't such a bootlicking Hasbro dog you wouldn't be in this situation.
>>10959711It's a specific person who keeps bringing up TJ to fuck without AnonSome Discord shit apparentlyTJ IS a Groomer, a Creep, certified faggot and is trooning and who shouldn't even be acknowledged, but that's a separate thing
>>10959962who's he grooming? What are the creepiest things he's done? I need to know now.
>>10959969John Doe, Alan Smithee, and Hairy Dick Tom.
>>10959974he is gay?
>>10959977Is it only grooming if you are gay. Otherwise you would just be called a pedo and be done with.
>>10959962>all that grease whenever TJ is on camera That man has never groomed in his life
Just checked my target, seems they still haven't restocked after being picked clean by the circle deals the week before. Damn.
Where are the toys?

>>10960002anon I think there's two in your picture. and maybe another one underneath them, but a really flat toy.
>>10960014Find one example of child grooming being used about someone that is different gender than the child.
>>10960020all of themstop using it at all. to groom is a neutral term, to raise someone in a specific way. you have to add a negative qualifier to it. 'misgroom' you could say.
>>10960020Is this a joke? Off the top of my head Dan Schneider/Amanda Bynes. Ezra Miller and that weird girl that still follows him around. There was that one kid that delivers pizza in an episode of the office that was groomed by a female actress. Don't remember the names off the top of my head because I have to go get dinner. But I mean, you have to be joking if you don't know ANY.
>>10960020The word is used tons in regards to girls being groomed by child molesters, I think your hyperfixations on little boys are rotting your brain, anon.

>>10960033Why do that when the HasLab Star Convoy/Sky Garry/Grandus set is only 7 years away?
>>10960030almost exclusivelyprobably because the people using it and spreading it and sensationalizing it are 100% homosexual or "allied."
>>10960027I bet you work as a pet groomer

>>10960100Maybe lolI think I just need the Rhinox/Scorponok and the Primal/MegatronPaying $90-100+ for Primal/Megatron just hurts a lot honestly
>>10960108It's worth it, that megatron's paint job is GORGEOUSand while Primal's not perfect (his fur is still a touch too dark), he is the first cartoon-accurate-skin-color primal toy outside of japanrhinox and scorponok... trust me, just pay for a used t30 rhinox and... ... just wait for a better scorponok. I mean he looks good in beast mode, that's about it. There was an upgrade kit to at least make his legs longer, but I doubt that's available anymore.
Gaze upon the heights of my consumerism
>>10960110It's so fucking good looking. Like fuckin gorgeousI see T30 like $30 and under and that Worlds Collide Scorponok is great but really darkI debated the Transart one but at that point collection wise I'd want them to finish the full set
>>10960110>just wait for a better scorponokPoor guy, even with the thigh upgrades needs to be mistransformed to look ok-ish.
>>10960123>T30 (rhinox, right?) under 30 bucksexactly, he's shockingly affordable. not PERFECT rhinox, but as close as I can imagine outside of the MP>toy-color scorponokI have to admit, that looks great on him. and because it's 'a different guy' i don't mind that he's so stumpy.my issue with the transart one is it's too show-accurate, which is not what I'm into really. that was mainframe reluctantly making it look a lot like the toy. also is it too big? I forget. most 3Ps are MP scale and that irritates me.>>10960128I will just never understand what possessed them to give him such square, boxy chest and thighs and lower legs too to a lesser extent. There's zero reason they need to be that way, it harms both modes.
>>10960123Transart?They don’t have a skorponok, they only do transmetal MP figures, do you mean Transform Element?
>>10960143not him but that's the guy. easy mistake.and even he's not perfect. his chest is full of joints for basically no reason. it doesn't need to move.
>>10960132A scorpion is a box with legs and tail.
>>10960152it is not!a scorpion is a BOWLING PIN with legs and a tail.and the pincers need to come out of the tip of the bowling pin, not the 'shoulders'
>>10960153This doesn't look like Scorponok. The limbs are all thin, especially the robot mode hands. Also it is yellow.
>>10960155>doesn't look like scorponokI feel like you're starting to understandin fairness, scorponok is more of an emperor scorpion. black color, big meaty claws, etc. and yes it is a BIT boxier, but not that boxy.
>>10960155Yeh, its missing the angry predator head.
>>10960163>6 legs outside the pincersMouthpart fags btfo.
>>10960164nice.>>10960165look more carefully, anon. the frontmost legs are hiding behind the clawshields.oh and for the record, obviously the show model took a lot of liberties with both a real scorpion and the toy (which takes even more liberties) but it still posed it relatively realistically. claws-in, etc. its body was ROUND... though it did get THICKER toward the claws, which is incorrect.. but that's because that part becomes his robot chest.
>>10960148Dunno what you mean, I have him and he’s great
Why didn't they just use an easier to understand animal like a frog instead of something so alien looking?
>>10960170What do you mean?Are you genuinely retarded?
>>10960168>dunno what you meanAbout the chest joints? let me clarifyhe's got joints on his chestand from what I've seen, they are not necessary at all, they made the transformation fancier than it needed to be.
>>10960170the scorponok toy was big and they wanted to sell a lot of it. as I recall, of the first wave, he and polar claw were the only ultra size guys.
>>10960174If by fancier you mean more accurate looking in both modes then yes
Kek, found pic related while looking for scorpion pics, thanks /tfg/ now I have more campy shit to watch tonight.
>>10960171Have you ever even seen a scorpion in the real world? Made up creatures. They don't even have bones.
>>10960178that is awesome. giving me WMAC Masters vibes.what is taht thing on her left tit though, looks like a flesh colored bandage or something.
>>10959962Nah I'm not him, idk of hes groomed people or whatever, I just think hes a big fuckin dork who makes total nontent on youtube. If I'm referring to a repulsive transformers fan, flip a coin and it'l either come up with tj or that fat british faggit.
>>10960177i looked it upthe only thing those butterfly joints do (and he has them on BOTH sides of the torso) is allow him to have his shoulders sort of proudly held back in robot mode, then slump down in beast mode. if the transformation had been like the original toy, this would have been superfluous. Basically he has a double-sided torso that looks approximately the same on both sides, yet has a bunch of movable parts to allow you to switch which side you're using..
>>10960182So who is good content?
Is Studio Series Battletrap getting a reissue? BBTS suddenly has stock, (priced at $70) and he is ‘pre-sold out’ on Entertainment Earth
>>10960189not that guy but i'm fond of jobbyit's actually fun watching him on stream because he's like 10% uncomfortable with how freaky his fanbase is and having to sort of stay in that mode in a live stream vs a pre-recorded and edited video where the performance and character feel more natural.
>>10960193His character is recycled too much from FilthyFrank.
>>10960194i've heard that before, I can only assume it's trueall the best characters are recycled. that said, if you can come up with a more original one, you should. and then other people will rip THAT off. and you can feel proud.
>>10960178
>>10960061anon now you're making me hard.
>>10960189For Transformers? Fuck, thats a short list. Uhhhhhhh Gei4mae, Not_jib and Jobby probably. The rest are incredibly boring or bitchy.
>>10960132Yea I get that. I'll prob cave and get the Optimus/Megatron set first when I get a bit more, Hoping on another sale so I feel more comfortable dropping that much and not eating sandwichs for the week lol>>10960143>>10960148>>10960168My mistake, It's Transform Element ScorponokNot perfect but he's nice
>>10960201>the braid is her scorpion taili love it. shades of Lamie. but who she really reminds me of is Miss Lint
ok I was watching some reviews on Earthrise Bee and wanted to get one, but then I saw the Cyberverse Bee and I thought that was superior to the Earthrise version, so I got that instead. How did I miss this? It's actually a really good figure. It has a better backpack and has wrist and waist rotation compared to the Earthrise one
>>10960211if she had a longer braid, maybe she can use her hair like Scorpion from MK
>>10960193>>10960194>>10960205>Jobby fansChrist that's cringe. He tries WAY too hard to be spergy "spaz" and "Filthy Frank was one of my main inspirations>Has absolutely ZERO energy like himTF Fans are really cucked because there really is no good reviewer it feelsEmgo is cringe and tries too hard, Feels like spaz ramblingThatToyGuy is okay but seems too redditBaltmatrix still has an atrociously bad micPrimeVsPrime is ((english)) and his voice is insanely gratingVast majority seem UK/English and obnoxious personality or voiceI think Peaugh is about the only one I can't really place a big complaint onMangmotion is good and majority of JP Reviewers too but they're mostly non speaking
>>10960218Peaugh has no passion, at least he didn't last time I watched a review, which was admittedly a while ago. He might have gone back to his golden era self since then.
>>10960218i bet i'd be a good reviewer. but I'd want someone else to do all the hard work and editing while i get all the toys (editor can have the ones people donate that I don't like). that's probably not gonna happen
>>10960230how in the fuck do you pronounce that, and why didn't he deliberately change the spelling to make that clearer? Yknow like as a stylized title. if it's po, he should call himself Master Po or someshit. if it's... pyu? he could be pyu or Pew or something funny. if it's pronounced.... puhhh? like with the german 'ch' sound? then.. he's on his own.
>>10960238I pronounce is pea-or myself.
>>10960238like a puke noisePEEEEAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGGgggggggghhhhhhhhhh
>>10960242you say that like you're familiar with the guy but have never watched him to hear him say his own name. or does he... not say his name ever?>>10960244that was my first guess but I thought surely it can't be that.
>>10960246I've heard other reviewers pronounce it like that, but that was a while ago. Baltmatrix is coming to mind but it might not have been him
>>10960218Jobby could stamd to turn it down, I fo agree there. Yeah Emgo seems like an odd guy. Like hes way more of a sperg than he lets on, which is something. As rolling things do, precious so precious, yadda yadda... its less that hes on a script, more like hes autistically compelled.Thattoyguy is always too bitchy and he always plays the most dog shit music in his videos. You're spot oj about the rest, especially pvp. Brits, dude. The guy actually said he cried while watching RoTB too. Like bro... come on dude.
>>10960218>TF Fans are really cucked because there really is no good reviewer it feelsThew.
>>10960213>How did I miss this?It was a hiden jem in a poopy toyline, hes also better than legacy hotshot.
>>10960254>ThewGood joke.
>>10960254Thew used to be good, but these days he hardly ever reviews anything and just opens boxes.
>>10960254Was cool years ago but now tries too damn hard.
I still want that velocitron Hot Rod
Bah. I went to Walmart and the only things that were on clearance were a few RotB things (which there were a lot of, including entire peg full of the Optimus Primal and Cheetor guns plus some that fell off and were on top of other boxes) and Earthspark Warrior class (Mostly Elita-1). It was really crowded there with not only most the pegs filled but deluxes stacked on top of each other on the shelves and even more on top. There actually was a pretty large variety with things from Wave 1 Legacy to Shadow Striker and Detritus. Legacy Elita-1 were also really common outside the Toxitron deluxes.
>>10960268>>10960270I take no pleasure in watching people I abandon for becoming aggressive lefties lose their fanbase and eventually stop producing anything. but it sure keeps happening.
>>10960275guns? like, sold by themselves?
>>10960268In the past 2 months he's put out 12 reviews and 4 box openings. Additionally, some of the stuff he opens becomes an impromptu in-situ review.>>10960270You can blame youtube for the style change
>>10960280yeah youtube needs the metaphorical equivalent of a toilet brush jammed up its ass
>>10960278The Battlemaster ones. Thinking about it, that was a bad phrase since Cheetor turns into a melee weapon.
>>10960282OH oh oh right. christ, I forgot all about those after I got the last one.I love those, I wish they sold them in larger numbers so they would be affordable. a whole set of repaints would be nice.
>>10960213don't you mean earthspark?
>>10960213Buzzworthy Origin Bumblebee is the superior Bee.
>>10960271Damn now I do too
>>10960313where do those rods go
>>10960315In Wheeljack's ass
>>10960317I knew you'd say that, yet i held back from adding "in b4 inside his or someone else's ass"
>>10960315They're Sounding Rods. Be sure to use all of them at once, and push them in as far as they'll go.
>>10960325you are taking me back 23 years to my first cyber sex, and the girl thinking i'd want her to jam her pinky in my peehole. i'm like first of all, flattering you think it would fit...
just look at these goobers. I want that RID Sideburn to add to the "young and impulsive car bots" lineup. I don't recall if the japanese G1 cartoons had a type like that>>10960305oh yea, I meant Earthspark>>10960313better than any of the cybertronian Bees that's been coming out lately.
>>10960339Some like Cheetor, Lio Junior, and Break are young and impulsive, but they aren't cars.
>>10960340I guess Holi probably counts for that too
Does anyone have that checklist image for legacy?
>>10960230Yea he's still very monotone and flat sounding but compared to others that's almost welcome>>10960235ThisIf I knew how to format, Video Edit and had a good spot I'd have started loooong agoI feel like I'd do nonspeaking tho>>10960250I just personally can't fucking stand Jobby, Like at allHe barely even does Reviews well, and had this "I'm not a reviewer": meme for awhileGet's free shit sent to him and doesn't fucking check mail for 6 months+, halfasses a Review and is surprised they dropped him ToyGuy was too low quality for me, I've only watched a few videos of his when he was basically somehow the only person with the Former in hand>The guy actually said he cried while watching RoTB tooJesus christ>>10960254If we're talking mid 2010's you'd be rightBut he's unironically pretty soi now

>>10960347there's a lot of merit to nonspeakingi think i'd just avoid the camera. my voice is good enough, and while i USED to be handsome, i've always looked like shit on webcams and maybe half the time in photo cameras.>gets sent shit for freehe got too much shit and had to shut his PO box, right? man that's a luxurious problem to have.
>>10960094Good alt modes are almost a lost art.
>>10960356well, good altmodes with good robot modes.beast wars basically started "let's make the robot mode look awesome, even if the altmode has to be kinda dumb. nobody will care" which works a bit better for animals than it does for a car. you can't just taper off the nose of a car and hope nobody noticed, or make the wheels different sizes.
>>10960352Thank you
so if Nightprowler is an autobot... is he a gigantic snow leopard, or is he just profoundly tiny compared to his compatriots. and if the latter, in what way is he not then a maximal? I feel like they never really fully explained what the reformatting involves, but it sounds like it was linked to de-bigulation.
>>10960368Faction has nothing to do with size.
>>10960372okay. I mean that's rational.but it SOUNDS LIKE becoming a maximal was linked to becoming smaller. They made it sound that way, perhaps inadvertently?I mean to be fair the cassetteformers were pretty small. So it wouldn't be thaaat weird.though speaking of them, it's weird Ravage was explicitly 'rebuilt into a Predacon' when he's not even any bigger, and the only major difference is now he can stand upright and talk.. and he still somehow turns into a tape.
>>10960213I bought him for his gun
>>10960356>Stops you in your path
>>10960372Nah, I get what he's saying - Nightprowler is labeled as an Autobot, but is using the BW Cheetor mold; Autobots don't exist by the time of BW, though, and all of the Maximals and Predacons have downgraded to smaller bodies than their Autobot/Decepticon ancestors, so that puts Nightprowler in an odd position. It's possible he's cassette-sized like Ravage was (hence why he's 'normal' compared to the Predacons despite being a Deception), but if he isn't, then he's A.) a time-displaced Autobot who's around the size of the G1 Predacons/Weirdwolf/Mindwipe/etc., or B) he's a Maximal in the same small chassis as everyone else in the BW time period, but just identifies as an Autobot rather than a Maximal.>>10960374Ravage being 'rebuilt into a Predacon' was more along the lines of them just giving him a humanoid second robot mode, since his actual robot mode was his panther one (which was supposed to be the size of a real panther, thus already making him fit in the size range that the Predacons had downgraded to). Also helps that he was capable of mass-shifting, since he had to fit inside Soundwave even when the latter shrank himself down.
>>10960380'almost' probably covers thatthat looks pretty good. man, I really like sleek sports cars. Their geometric perfection makes me want a weird line of beastformers who all turn into cool marketable abstract monsters like a lot of gen 1 pokemon.. like what if something turned into a flat-bottomed blob creature with lil eyes on it.
>>10960382>Ravage has to shrink inside SoundwaveI never thought of that before. Do you need to have mass-shifting in order to shift inside someone else? or does his own mass shifting 'field' cover anything within him...>Autobots don't exist anymoreehhh they made it sound like there were a few holdouts, presumably rich guys who can afford the extra energon. I'm pretty sure they said -most- but I suppose I don't have an exact quote.
>>10960339>I don't recall if the japanese G1 cartoons had a type like thatChrome fucking dome, dude doomed his team often, also Goshoter didn't like to follow orders, then again Ginrai was his commander and he was hotheaded as fuck, you could say he had burning guts.
>>10960382>Autobots don't exist by the time of BWThey do, actually. At one point Megatron says he's defeat all the Maximals, "and the Autobots too".>Nightprowler is labeled as an Autobot, but is using the BW Cheetor mold; Autobots don't exist by the time of BW, though, and all of the Maximals and Predacons have downgraded to smaller bodies than their Autobot/Decepticon ancestors, so that puts Nightprowler in an odd position. It's possible he's cassette-sized like Ravage was (hence why he's 'normal' compared to the Predacons despite being a Deception), but if he isn't, then he's A.) a time-displaced Autobot who's around the size of the G1 Predacons/Weirdwolf/Mindwipe/etc., or B) he's a Maximal in the same small chassis as everyone else in the BW time period, but just identifies as an Autobot rather than a Maximal.ORThey slapped "Autobot" on the front of his name because they couldn't secure the "Nightprowler" name on its own.
>>10960250My favorite thing about toyguy is when he's like "yeah this guy poses AWESOME let me just show it off" followed by the most fucking basic and boring poses everHe really can't put them in an interesting pose for the life of him
>>10960380There have been some good ones in recent years, but even the Bayverse Studio Series often suffers a bit compared to the original movie lines, though as overall toys they might make up for it elsewhere. There's definitely been a priority shift. That said good ones still happen. I love Siege Sideswipe's vehicle mode.
>>10960368Wasn't the original going to be released in Universe?
>>10960218I like TRDQ, TheSheepWielder, and Vangelus. They aren't obnoxious and have good recording setups, and also doesn't seem like any of them are shills. Good for me.
>>10960387they could have put 'maximal nightprowler' anon. that kinda negates that argument.this was clearly a deliberate choice, though from what I can tell, it was never in any real fiction beyond a profile listing somewhere? the original canceled toy surely wasn't going to be an autobot, was it? I don't know the story behind Universe but I know it had a lot of surprising shit
>>10960271What could have been
>>10960394>the original canceled toy surely wasn't going to be an autobot, was it? I don't know the story behind Universe but I know it had a lot of surprising shitAll the Universe guys were either Autobots or Decepticons, even if the source mold was from the Beast Era stuff.
>>10960396oh weird.before i just ask more dumb questions, this time I'm going to go look up what Universe's story was.
>>10960313He looks like he's made out of cheeese ha haha
>>10960401Oh, Universe's story fucks with the factions even more. For the story, it didn't matter if you were an Autobot, Decepticon, Maximal, Predacon, Vehicon, or Mini-Con. You were ACTUALLY either a Child of Primus, or a Minion of Unicron. Usually good faction characters were Children and bad faction characters were Minions, but not always.The toy packing just use Autobot/Decepticon, because it's easier.
>>10960395I like these colors so much more.
>>10960353>he got too much shit and had to shut his PO box, right?Must be fucking nice
>>10960393>Vangelus.I don't support troons sorry
>>10960404i just looked it up, at least I can confirm it does take place in g1 universe. they hadn't gone all wacky with making new ones yet. it's just kind of a modified G1 that continues after BM and seems.. a lot better. Personally I think they should just continue that story.
>>10960408You'd support them if they chose to revert to their natural state, right? Like so many do
did someone say Universe?
>>10960415The mold kinda works as female for its thick legs, but I'd like her to have a dedicated head, maybe even the same without mouthplate.
>>10960415is this revenge for what we did to Boi in Zyuranger?
>>10960412Not at allVangelus is too pozzed and his fucked teeth troon can fuck off
>>10959811Sorry. I don't trust anything that comes out of a line that has to be abbreviated to "Pot Pee"
>>10960417Not even the first switch, Nitro convoy and Air razor are both male in japan while we got them as fembots.
>>10960417No. Yellow Convoy is a reference to girl Optimus, and girl Optimus only happened through random chance (a female fan won the raffle for the voice spot instead of a male fan.)
>>10960421I just meant having an entire world of yellow females
>>10960418then you're part of the promblem, like so many people who vehemently oppose things.
>>10960420
>>10960426who's the yellow and blue cutie pie
>>10960428https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nightbeat_(Animated)
>>10960428Isn't that Animated Nightbeat?
>>10960425>Opposing something and not willing to forgive it means I'm "part of the problem"You can simp troons, I don't care. But Vangelus is a colossal faggot even before all thatI don't care
>>10960426Not the same, diferent shows means they're not the same character, also Lugnut and Clobber don't even share the name or altmode, real switch have to happen on the same show during loacalization.
>>10960432no one cares about your specifics
>>10960429i'm in love. she can nightbeat my meat anytime. toy when
>>10960433You did a shitty job with that list.
>>10960431nobody talked about forgiveness, we're talking about supporting the act of going back on insanity.if after that you still want to hold a grudge forever, that's up to you. the rest of us will be friends with the recovered nutcase.
>>10960437There is no recovery for people like that
>>10960441lol it happens all the time dude.people get their marbles back sometimes.
>>10960408IdPol is not /toy/ discussion material, didn't ask.But of course, this's the default response you NPCs give any time someone offers half-decent alternatives: call them trans, that'll show em. Very brave. Probably shouldn't listen to the opinions of someone who thinks Jobby is peak entertainment, anyway.
>>10960443I fucking hate Jobby tho and have mocked him constantlyHe's retarded and just some reddit spergIdk where you got I'm "defending" him
>>10960436
>>10960443i feel like you're pretty confused.. nobody should use that term
>Combiner Wars : Metroplex>Titans Return : Trypticon>Power of the Primes : Predaking>Siege : Omega Supreme>Earthrise : Scorponok>Kingdom : Ark>Legacy : Cybertron Metroplex>Legacy Evolution : Nemesis>Legacy United : Tidal WaveI wonder what the next Line is and who the Titan will be
>>10960392>>10960394>>10960396The Universe accompanying comic line explained this. All of the characters were yoinked from different points in time from across multiple different universes - this included not just Autobots and Decepticons, but Maximals, Predacons, Vehicons, and even Minicons. All of them were brought to "The Cauldron" (what was later revealed to be a comatose Unicron's stomach) and the guys from the future were "reforged" into Autobots or Decepticons when the groups were getting sorted into two teams; a member of each team was dragged out and forced to fight each other to the death so Unicron could absorb the energies that were released during combat.The storyline is a direct continuation of the Primeval Dawn story and is what the revived Tarantulas was working on while he was staging the second phase of the Beast Wars (and him testing his Space Bridge on a captured Waspinator who was being chased off by proto-humans is how the latter ended up on Cybertron just in time to become the Vehicon Thrust in BM).
>>10960454okay bear with me, what if..titan-class optimus prime, to interact with beast wars guys at their scale.
>>10960457oh that makes sense. unicron is just making people fight, and those are the factions he knows.
>>10960459Actually would be cool.Big ass G1 Prime and show it with Beast Wars gang.I personally want something like a Cybertron Primus where it's Haslab Unicron but good.Or pull a Nemesis and make the Miranda 2 from Energon.Go crazy with an Alt Mode, and it'd look cool with the Core Megatron I bet.
>>10960459That's a bit too big - the BW guys would need to be MP sized to be close to accurate.
>>10960457>and the guys from the future were "reforged" into Autobots or Decepticons when the groups were getting sorted into two teams; a member of each team was dragged out and forced to fight each other to the death so Unicron could absorb the energies that were released during combat.This literally never happened. You made this up. The only fights we saw in the comics were Smokescreen vs Smokescreen and Sideswipe vs Sunstreaker, all Autobots.
>>10960447So shitty job you didn't included the original, Percpetor/Nijika.>>10960454Combiner wars titan was Devastator, Metroplex was earlier, from T30. Both are good candidates for re dos, an updated Fortress mold using Brave Maximus colors would be great to pair with the modern Car Robots toys.
>>10960462that's a pretty good ship. and it LOOKS like it should transformI suppose I would enjoy axalon and darksyde titans. For thematic purposes, would they turn into robotic animals?
>>10960454I want a Titan Darksyde with a Deluxe class NAVI-Ko pack-in (like how Ark has Mainframe and Skorponok has Lord Zarak).
>>10960466>NijikaBecause... it's not an example of what the image is about? Are you stupid?
>>10960463are you sure? I'm imagining voyager primal (roughly dude-sized in gorilla mode) sitting in a seat in the cab, and it's a big seat. the front of the cab alone would be the size of a fucking lunchbox.besides, he'd need a bunch more features than the titans we've gotten so far, all that shit in his trailer, so they could make it suit the size class and be a little smaller... come to think of it, Roller... did he have a diaclone seat originally? Because wouldn't that then require him to be.. kind of a lot bigger than I think he is? And also seat a gorilla if he was scaled that big? Or was he more like a golf cart than a car.
>>10960454Let them try Majin Zarak.>>10960472Is closer than mixing fucking clobber with lugnut.
>>10960480>Cyberverse story editor Randolph Heard "fell in love" with the look of Lugnut, the fanatically loyal Decepticon from Transformers Animated. When asked if Cyberverse could do a female version of Lugnut, Hasbro preferred to keep "Lugnut" as male, but was open to a female version with a different name, which became "Clobber". Series writer Mae Catt considered the Lugnut/Clobber gender change to be one of the show's greatest developments.[1] This change evidently came rather late or caused confusion, as Clobber is called "Lugnut" in some non-English dubbing. In addition, her toy packaging uses the masculine inflection of "Bruiser" for her function in French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Her official description on Hasbro's website uses male pronouns.
>>10960480the panelformer to end all panelformers..i love that top design though, why can't that just be the guy.. why can't he turn into something sensible and way cooler than a simple carrier with tank treads apparently.
>>10960094That weirdly help make the bot look better, still hoping for a price drop though.
>>10960484>panelformerWith that much bulk on him, I don't think even panelforming would be enough - he'd have to partsform the limbs to make up the double bow and stern sections, at the very least. Dude would be an absolute nightmare to make work.
>>10960482I find this so strange. Not because I disagree with it, I also prefer "genderswap" characters to be given new names and treated as different characters; but, I find Hasbro's double-standards odd. Like why are they not comfortable with naming a genderswapped Lugnut "Lugnut", but are perfectly okay with genderswapped Seekers keeping the same names?
>>10960495Were Acid Storm and Skywarp deliberatly meant to be female in Cyberverse?
>>10960495different hasbro execs i imagineplus it might be different for a character who's relatively new and hasn't had many different versions yet
>>10960496Yes? They have the girl seeker body and Acid Storm is voiced by a woman
>>10960506Alright, never watched Cyberverse and I was of the belief that it was a production error.
>>10958998Beast Machines was a really shitty toyline, but that figure was pretty good, I have to admit.Well, ok, the Vehicons were mostly good
>>10960510The production errors with Acid Storm is that she would sometimes have the MALE seeker body by mistake.
>>10960466Oh yea he was, I forget Devastator since he's so dogshit.>>10960468>>10960471That'd be sick honestly.>Axalon has a JP Energon Sharkticon MoldHuh, NeatNever knew that.>>10960480This is some G Gundam shit. I love it
>>10960510Cyberverse had 5 Seeker models:- Male head Seeker- Female head Seeker- a one-off two-headed Seeker- Coneheads (only males appeared)- Starscream
>>10960525yeah that guy is cool even if he's definitely not the axalon>g gundamright? gotta be the same designer.
>>10960528Aside from named characters, there were also five fucktillion generic seekers in random colors.Other notes:- Thrust used the standard seeker model, not the conehead one- Afterburner, a non-seeker jet from G2, appears in a conehead body in Cyberverse
>>10960462I want the giant ships from the start of Armada, the Hyperion and Doomsday.
>>10960528Weird how they made thunder cracker all blue
>>10960193Oh yeah Jobby is great if you're a 12-year old faggot who breaks expensive toys for """"comedy""""" and acts so weird about any female figma that it's 200% certain he's so far up the closet he's exploring Narnia
>>10960495And Swoop too. Who is even more widely known.
>"what a time to be alive! to think you could buy a factory fresh G1 Prime straight from the motherland with modern articulation! it's amazing.">"sounds gimmicky and stupid">"I bet it will be overpriced...."missing link came in. pretty dope overall; I really love chrome and ~rubber tires apparently. some of the joints around the waist are a nightmare
>>10960627I want it but I can't oull the trigger on the price. I don't like the cartoon deco and the standard release includes $50 of shit I don't care about. G1 OP's trailer has more going for it than any modern trailer, but still.
>>10960630I completely understand but I am surprised by how much fun I'm having with the trailer>"we want to join the teamsters; I'll cut you bitch!">"fine, Jesus Christ, workers rights, sentient beings, were all on the same page..."
>>10960630I don't blame you. I have him and I like him, but what they are charging is highway robbery. I hope they only do a few of them.
>>10960647The thing is I have a G2 Optimus with its trailer, so I already know from firsthand experience that I do not need another one. I think it's good that they made a version that includes it, I just wish they didn't go with a cartoon deco on the standalone version. It's almost as if they wanted to trap people.
>>10960671you're not wrong.>"Spine Kick! You work for ME!"
>>10960495Lugnut means testicle in Transformers.
what caused the price crash
>>10960738If I had to guess? Steep reduction in sales over the last 24 months or so. No I haven't looked at any data, I am trusting my gut.
>>10960395>The wheels on his lower legs were intentionally mis-transformed so Hot Rod would better resemble his original G1 toyI love it when someone does that
>>10959463>>10959464>>10959476Thanks all, I bought the set. I also hope we get Powerlinx Optimus Prime with his Mini-Cons Sparkplug and Over-Run (Though the set will not come with his trailer or big rifle so it would be cheaper) in the future.
>>10960738Wasn't he in one of the Walmart clearance 2-packs? Those going down to like $7 probably helped.
>>10960698>"ok you said some things, I said some things...does it really matter now? ROLLER! E Tu, Roller!?
>>10960466>Both are good candidates for re dosWe're already getting SS86 constructions, there's no need for a Titan.
>>10960772>*inaudible mechanical grievances*
>>10960789>"roller...*cough cough* I....I should have...">"The trial is over!"
>>10960796>"the time of judgement is now!"
>>10960574But he's not?
>>10960800>*inaudible mechanical distress*>"ROLLER! STAND ASIDE!">"...cough...I love you too, buddy...cough..."
>>10960811>...And so it was that war was averted and peace restored, through everyone's mutual love of Roller.
>>10960738Wamart restocked the Sideways / Arcee 2 pack for $10. Its still available. I got one, Sideways is fuckin awesome. I meant to post about him; I watched no less than three reviews that all call his transformation fiddly and complicated. Idk if they were al smoking the same shit that day or what, but hes not overcomicated, his transformation is quite simple and fun
>>10960828I remember Sideways feeling like a pretty stock standard carbot transformation, just run through a movie filter
Size comparison for those of you with an OG Magmatron
>>10960858The new one has more detailing in the robot parts, but the old one has more texture to the beast parts. I don't know if that is important.
Between seeing him pop up on BBTS and now this, I guess it's safe to assume there were a lot of cancellations for Deathsaurus.>>10960819Aren't Prime, Roller, and the Combat Deck all the same person, just like both of Sky Lynx's halves are the same dude controlling each piece? Wouldn't that make this just Optimus kicking the shit out of himself?
>>10960854Didn't notice this, but they turned Skysaurus from a generic pterosaur of indeterminate breed into a legit Quetzalcoatlus. That's awesome - now BM Skydive has a buddy.
>>10958841Man, I wish concept art megatron would actually show up in stores around here.
>>10960863>just bought mine for $220d-did I fuck up
>>10960906>$220No, that seems like a fair price to me. Better than what BBTS is selling him for at least ($275)
>>10960854>>10960869>Swivels in wingsCan one of you with a Magmatron remake the Queltz stance with the wings rotated down like that?
>>10960941It even has balljointed wirsts to complete that pose.
>>10960941
>>10960941Posted this other day, think this is as close as you can get:
>>10960954Close>>10960961PerfectionBased Anon
>>10960966Tried to get a better one, sorry for not dusting first (cba)
>>10960789have i mentioned lately how much i love and appreciate this shitthis is what toy collecting is all about
>>10960854the old seasaur was more of an elasmosaurus, this one is more plesio proportions.. actually neck might be even thicker than that. no complaints though.
>>10960861honestly i think some of that is that old stompy kaiju dinosaurs were often depicted with bumpy textured scaly skin, while today they are typically smooth and sleek
>>10960869in fairness, the old quetzalcoatlus restorations seemed not to have the head, because they looked VERY different when I was a kid. in fact, a LOT of pterosaur heads ballooned up to over ten times the size they were in my old dinosaur books.. it's kind of insane they'd be that big and they could still fly.
>>10960966not quite perfect since the wings are now pointing completely backwards (membranes facing forward) but if the wing tip part could be folded back more, that would probably be acceptable
Speaking of large heads, got my Bumblebee Shockwave today. I didn't realize he had lightpiping. Then again, on an eye that large it'd be criminal not to, I guess.
>>10960982god i love lightpipingi'd get it installed in my clothes if i could and if i ever went outside.
>>10960981Yeah, not sure what they could have done outside of swappable parts, but then, I'm not an engineer.
>>10960858>open sides and you can see the dino head/neck/back through itPlease be mistransformed
>>10961026I feel like those sides can fold up moreIf not you know %100 a 3P will make gap fillers or parts to better mesh
>>10961040>have to shell out money costing at least a deluxe for a commander-class
>>10961026>>10961040The trick is that the new one has more torso that the panels of the original aren't extending to cover as much. The panels reached the (fake) Skysaur hands on the original, then beneath that the remaining gap was covered by tiny dino hands. The new one reduces the panel to just where the shoulder is, rather than go down further (and make the chest more cubed).Note this image from Seibertron is mistransformed, and the left arm has a panel flip out from the panel to lock the part into place on the torso.
>>10960985it would just require double jointed shoulders with both a hinge and a rotationtechnically we have that here, but it's in the wrong order. the hinge first, THEN a rotation inside the hinge.
>>10961026Bigger question, the original has big grey slabs there, what do those do that this one has managed to not need?
>>10961026wait a cotton-pickin minutethose flaps hanging on his hipswhyyy aren't those folded up into his hollow sides??
>>10960863That or he was over produced. Could have been a situation where they had to make a full factory run to meet a few trailed backers. I doubt it’s as simple as making what was backed +whatever number is needed for replacement.
>>10960454TF collaborative titan class Borg Cube
>>10961106that would be pretty fuckin rad
>>10960454
>>10959163Allosaurus is a genus, allosauroids are a clade of dinosaurs encompassing all related groups as well.
>>10961121>Allosaurus is a genusI doubt he's that smart
>>10961121>all of saurus>only has like ten dinosaurs inside
>>10961121you 100% knew exactly what I meantthis is all guesses anyway. if I say a giganotosaurus is a big allosaurus, I am right.
>>10961106Unironically that'd be sick
>open up Studio Series Thundercracker now that I have the complete Decepticon Gang>forget the BB Seeker mold looks like it's missing a panel on one leg because of the transformationHate when I scare myself.
>>10961251I am embarrassed to say i once sent a figure back because of a 'missing piece' that i simply hadn't unfolded properly.in fairness it was part of an order of four and two of them genuinely did have missing pieces.
Tfw want Magmatrpn and hate waiting
So is Hasbro going to do more powerlinx decoes with minicons or were Hot Shot and Jolt a one time thing?
>>10961287There is a listing for Galvatron at least. That they didn't do Thundercracker/Starscream S yet is surprising though.
>>10961290Armada Starscream kind of shelwarmed so maybe they cancelled that repaint
>>10961287No idea, they seem open to it, but the only deco I know we're going to get (aside from the already announced Galvatron) is Armada Thundercracker.In terms of minicons, no idea how or if we'll get more. Hell we still haven't gotten LG Metroplex when they practically told us they'd slot it into core class as soon as possible and not a peep since.
>>10961285it's worse when I want him discountedi know at his size class, it's inevitabru. but still, the wait
>>10961293What hasn't shelfwarmed from Legacy? Tarn and some of the Menasor limbs?
>>10961290He's on Tidal Wave's box. He has a new angry face.
Think tidal wave will go below 200 like all the others?
>>10961314No idea. Surprisingly Nemesis didn't, so maybe they are producing less of each Titan instead of flooding the market.
>>10961290>There is a listing for Galvatron at leastNo Leader-1/Clench though.
>>10961314Even if he does, there's no telling how cheap it will get or how l much stock a store will have. Usa Amazon went out of stock almost right after it got a 20 dollar discount. I only recommend waiting if you're in the uk.
Just saw the pvp Magmatron review, and the fucking Magmasaurus seems to have a sturdier combination than the robot mode. The 3 components in robot mode are held together by some chest tabs, not even a tab/peg combo.
>>10961290>>10961296God I want Legacy SkywarpI'm eyeing a 3D that did a stellar Legends Armada Star but the repaints are still prob like 6 months+ away
>>10961314I think so honestly given record>>10961317Must have missed where she was like $160 range like less than a month after release
>>10961147>>10961141Bonk
*Angry potato noises*
>>10961356the legendary elasmace!
>>10961359is the joint piece "unpaintable" ? I might be able to fix that with some clear paint..
>>10961298>What hasn't shelfwarmed from Legacy?Armada Prime, Armada Megatron, Tarn, Animated Optimus and uhhhhh it looks like Cybertron Starscream is popular. They dropped the ball with everything else
>>10961359i love that everyone's making his neck as crooked as a pikachu's tail, nobody's making nice smooth curves
>>10961356Sailor Moon lookin thing. In the name of the moon lookin ass.
>>10961392what the fuck would you transform into if a magical plesiosaur waddled up to you and gave you this as your magic wand
>>10961395
>>10961395Magical warrior clad in bone armor, fighting for Dinosaur justice or somesuch
>>10961395Ask Nessie - it'll only cost you 'bout tree fiddy.
>>10961398that would be a pretty unique mahou shoujo show.>>10961400ooh I like that too. whenever someoen asks what dinosaur justice is, she hits them.
>>10961367Nah, you can still find plenty of these easily, Tarn and the Devcon wave stood out due to how hard it is to find them for retail. Gears might end up in the same situation so I recommend getting it now it's not going to be repacked in a following wave.
>>10961395Ted Danson.
>>10961407If its not getting repacked.
>>1096140880s ted danson or today ted danson?I would think THAT magical girl would have THIS as her magical companion
>>10961367>Armada MegatronSame box sitting at my Target since release. Nobody wants Big Bad Beetle Bitch.
When Blackarachnia says she wants to try pegging, and you agree without knowing what it is.
>>10961415Great storage for a few Headmasters
>>1096141290s Ted Danson.
>>10961418ahhh so that wasn't the nonsequitur I thought it was>>10961415kek the joints even make it look like goatse
>>10961404>LIBERATE MUSEUMS!>FREE ALL THE DINOSAURS!>PETROLEUM JUSTICE BEAM!
>>10961420>so that wasn't the nonsequitur I thought it wasNo, just painfully esoteric. That being said, for a low budget movie Loch Ness is actually quite good, if a little predictable.
>>10961430i like movies like that sometimeyou ever see his Gulliver's Travels miniseries? good shit.
>>10961415>When she sticks the ovipositor in raw
>>10961431Not since it originally aired. I should give it another go.
>>10961439I miss miniseriesI'd like to see Transformers do that sometime, but I know they never would, you wouldn't make all those complex models just for a short series.well they have done a bunch of mini-sode shit with really garbage shitty cheap CG I remember that...
Can the newest Dino bots combine? Or do I have to hunt down older ones if I want a big Dino mech
>>10961415Everyone knows winged wolves poop cubic pellets.
>>10961493ah, like wombats.
>>10961473>Can the newest Dino bots combine?The tiny ones can, the big leader class ones don't, you can get a boxset of the old ones as oversized knock offs that combine for the price of one of the new leaders clas tho, better quality and they even include swords for the whole team, you'll find them on ebay or aliexpress searching for dinobot combiner.
>>10961498Thanks!
>>10961415Wait, is that his robot mode head?, can you make it look back like.
>>10961505gutsman's ass!
>>10961407I can't find Armada Optimus
>>10961493Like wombats
>>10961515>>10961497i like that we both know about obscure marsupial poopial
>>10961511He is, but it will also get a reissue so jump on it fast when its out?
>>10961519If there are more squared poopers out there I'm bizarrely fascinated to learn about them.
Of course this fucker restocks just as I spent 45 for him https://hasbropulse.com/collections/new/products/transformers-studio-series-voyager-transformers-bumblebee-110-shockwave
>>10960077Id suck a mile of dicks just to get to play with a grandus, my micromasters would be sooooo at home living in his tummy
>>10961367You can get Armada Megs for little over 50% off here in the UK now.
>>10961592I don't live in the UK...
>>10961595Count yourself lucky, the occasional cheap transformer is one of the few goodies we get.
I wonder why the original Triggercons/Triggerbots were never released in Japan?
>>10961612The Japanese got triggered by them.
>>10961508I understood that reference.
>>10961612no room, they were doing masterforce then
>>10961297When do you expect it to?
I don’t think the double Target Masters were released in Japan either.So strange. Especially since Takara designed them, as well as the Triggercons and triggerbots.
Japan didn’t get the smaller pretenders like Bludgeon, Octopunch or Stranglehold either.It’s really amazing women you look at how much was never released in Japan.
>>10961431No kidding? I'm reading that right now, and it was just a question on jeopardy. Weird how stuff just happens to crop up like that..
>>10961649^really amazing when you look at…
who would win: lio convoy or lio kaiser?
Not the 3p bootleg general or whatever, but this seems worth checking out for animated fans
>>10961687>>10961691Is DNA Designs back bros? This looks like the first non-miss in a while.
>>10961691I think the other one has a better bot mode>>10961687But this one looks pretty great in alt mode
I really like Legacy Tarantulas but needing to have two painted bits(shins and feet) rub against each other for transformation was a very unfortunate design
When is this absolute unit going to get a toyI bet if he came out during the movie he would've been in a love triangle with Arcee and Springer, and little girls would've dug him more than Springer because he turns into a horseBy the modern day the romance angle would be all anyone remembers him for, and his Shattered Glass/ IDW self would have the personality of a Lifetime movie villian
>>10961711You sure he wouldn’t have been a Decepticon?
>>10961714Decepticon's don't turn into horses, they turn into vicious beasts
I want more femmebots without having to pay insane prices. I know we just got Shadow Striker, but it's a really compromised toy, so I'd like to get one more closely based on the Cyberverse cartoon, especially the Frankenstein'd together version because I love characters who were the best at something, and then became monsters because the hero didn't do a proper job of killing them. It would also be nice to get figures of Nautica and Slipstream that aren't either shit, or require selling a kidney for and are still kinda shit.
>>10961718>t would also be nice to get figures of Nautica and SlipstreamI've been waiting for years, Hasbro you cowards put out mainline fembots already.
>>10961718Aren't we supposed to get a new Slipstream this year?
>>10961725Yes. Slipstream comes in October.Hope we get Flareup, Glyph, Thundwrblast and Roulette soon.
>>10961720>Hasbro you cowards put out mainline fembots alreadyThe beauty of it is the characters would work without needing to be overly sexy, just stake a Skywarp, retool the waist to be slimmer put some purple lipstick on the head and add teal highlights, Slipstream. Shadow Striker you could do a thin waist, and slightly wider hips, but unless you KNEW she was a chick it's not apparenty, so both character would be able to go on shelves without the "boys don't play with female charater toys" bullshit.>>10961725Man, I hope so.
>>10961718>somehow gets figure of stupid, lame, obscure character no one gives a fuck about >its not good enough I want a new one Learn to appreciate what you got. Youre not getting another Shadow Striker, ever. You are the same archetype, if not the exact person who crys for a decade for a specific character and then dosent even buy it. I clearly remember anon crying for magamatrn and tidal wave in 2011 and its probably the same person “on the fence” about them in all these threads. Just try to enjoy what you get. Its more fun that way
>>10961711Maybe when Hasbro are going all out on Armada, this guy showed up in the Armada Dreamwave comics and would be considered an obscure Armada character despite being originally a prototype G1 toy.
>>10961716>A fucking cow
>>10961744The same person 13 years ago? That doesn't seem likely.
>>10961759Found you!
>>10961744Being a characterfag and buying a bunch of crap things because they resemble someone you like doesn't seem like a good plan either. Although that would be most self-destructive in the Optimus/Bumblebee/Megatron/Starscream/Soundwave levels.
>>10961744NTA but>stupid, lame, obscure character no one gives a fuck aboutI like Shadow Striker, and she was basically the standout character from Cyberverse, so you're factually incorrect too. I understand and agree with the sentiment of "just like cool toys even if innaccurate", but Legacy SS is not a cool toy anyway, it's very lame-looking and has poor poseability lol.Judging by your pic, it just sounds like you're projecting your own regrets onto others. I'm sorry RotB sucked anon, I'm disappointed about it too.
>>10961783She only seems like that because the rest of the people around her were the usual guys that you probably own multiple of already.
>>10961744I did buy that Shadow Striker because I accept that if she gets another figure it's probably not gonna be for a while (hence why the mashed two versions together), but that's also kinda my point, I get that they sell but Hasbro has got to ease back on just doing the same characters over and over in such rapid succession. I don't care how popular he is, does Optimus NEED 10 different figures every year? Does Shockwave need 5? Does Bumblebee? Does Soundwave? Starscream?Nautica's first appearance was literally 10 years ago (2014), in those ten years she has gotten ONE toy and it was freaking retool of Titan Master Blurr and only available in an exclusive box-set!I appreciate that we have been getting a lot of really good figures recently, getting the main cast of Beast Wars properly again for the first time in almost 30 years has been wonderful, but maybe we ease back on G1 a little next year? Start doing more of the obscure characters. Give something to the guys whose favourite Transformer ever was Meanstreak, or Terradive.Hell I was just saying a few threads ago I'd love a new figure (or even a straight re-release) of Scavenger.
>>10961795For a really long time G1 Shockwave and Soundwave were rare to get new figures. From 1991 -2010 there were two Shockwaves toys made, Energon Shockblast, and the retooled Alternator in 2004. It wasn't until 2016 that the slumpo ended with him and he was getting new toys every couple of years (MP, Combiner Wars, Authentic, Cyber, Seige, etc) Soundwave was even rarer, with this abomination being the first mainline figure in stores 18 years after the original
>>10961794Nah, Shadow Striker is a genuinely lame figure. The transformation is fiddly, awkward, and requires partsforming (which is just a needless sin 40 years into the franchise), the shoulders are pegged into the back pack, so they don't pose easily. It's just not great. That being said she does have variably sizeable tits.
>>10961795>I don't care how popular he is, does Optimus NEED 10 different figures every year? They sell very well, they do fucking reprints of 3+ year old figures of him and they sell out. Same with the new shit. Fucksakes I'm seeing the Laser Rod OP repackage for United selling in stores better than Tigerhawk. I doubt collectors are wanting him that bad but to kids he's like fucking batman or Spiderman and you can't have enough of him.
>>10961809What are kids getting interest in Laser Optimus Prime from? The recent movie bombed, the recent cartoon is a Paramount+ exclusive whose merch isn't moving either, and the design doesn't look like the Optimus Prime you would see if you watched the original cartoon on Youtube.
>>10961691Looks great but with the way the figure is designed I can't help and feel that we will be getting (at least from takara) the Wingblade version in some kind of special pack and that makes the DNA add-on redundantHasbro probably will use this a chance to "make-up" the old cancelled figure as a promotion
>>10961725But it's a shitty recolor of Windblade.
>>10961814>What are kids getting interest in Laser Optimus Prime from?The name on the box I guess
>>10961809>I'm seeing the Laser Rod OP repackage for United selling in stores better than TigerhawkThat's not surprising - one: Tigerhawk is a literal who compared to Prime, even among kids who grew up with Beast Wars, and two: the new toy is horrible compared to the old one, so even BW fans who remembered him from the whole two episodes he existed for avoided getting the Legacy toy in favor of just keeping their original ones.Optimus is the face of the franchise (even with all the Bee shilling in recent years), so it's not surprising that he hates a million toys every year.
>>10961814It could still be G1 fans/collectors, look at TMNT and how many times Neca has rolled out the same 4 turtles over and over. But consider for a moment Optimus Prime prime has reached a cultural zeitgeist comparable to Bat-man or Spider-man where he just sells regardless of tie in merc. Kids just like him and I wager a lot of parents are aware of him due to movies and shows they grew up with.
>>10961828>*Gets a million toys every year
>>10961828>the new toy is horrible compared to the old one, so even BW fans who remembered him from the whole two episodes he existed for avoided getting the Legacy toy in favor of just keeping their original ones.I grew up with Beast Wars and I never got the original, so I grabbed the Legacy version, I really like him. But again, I ALSO love that he got a new figure.
>>10961801It just blows my mind how long the modern toylines had to run to get a decent Soundwave or Shockwave. They weren't exactly nobodies in fiction or popularity so what was the holdup?Also, I haven't liked a kids line or fiction since RID2015, but it still sucks that the newer toys are often so bad. It really seems like the designers are either not talented or not passionate about their work. I can't even watch those BTS streams because it's like they're just going through the motions because they have to.
>>10961828Maybe the franchise needs a full refresh for a year, like with Beast Wars. Maybe just do a full Shattered Glass push for the whole franchise, toys, a toyline, a comic series, the whole shebang.
>>10961814>What are kids getting interest in Laser Optimus Prime from?If it looks cool in the package, that's enough. It was for me when I was a kid.
>>10961843Or let the Japanese do another series.
>>10961843Honestly wouldn't mind if Prime was the last Generations line, at least for a while, then Hasbro put their whole ass into whatever cartoon would be airing in 2026.Give it the full array of toys, not just gimmick toys and a pity line of deluxes
>>10961850That would be nice. Also if they COMMITTED to the show, not just "do a couple seasons and then wrap it up so we can pump out the next show."
>>10961836Role-play items like microcassette players and guns were phased out, so you had things like stealth bomber, compact car Soundwave, satellite Soundwave, space armored transport and so on in currently running shows/games. Although Soundwave also got a bunch of reissues of his original toy so even if the only one that turns into a microcassette player was a Japan-region exclusive small one and next closest was a microSD player Soundwave, not entirely out of circulation.
>>10961804Think >>10961794 meant in the show, but like... No? She was one of the most notable antagonists in the whole thing. Dude, don't criticize something if you don't even know what it is you're criticizing. Don't just talk out your ass.
>>10961801What about Animated Shockwave? Or FoC Shockers?
>>10961895She stops being relevant after the first season. Even switches from being Bumblebee's rival to Prowl's during the time skip. Only feat was killing Prowl during the massive battle and even that wasn't intentional.
>>10961804Does it require partsforming? I thought the canopy/shield could be transformed along with the arm, detaching just made it easier, no? And the bumper is the weapon, that doesn't count.Playing devil's advocate further (I mean I hate the Legacy mold too, but still), I feel like the people complaining that a modern Speed Breaker mold has partsforming has never handled the og toy. That thing is a mess of balljoints and armatures.
>>10961899Not G1.
>>10961902>And the bumper is the weapon, that doesn't count.The bumper is an additional part that attaches to the weapon as a place to store the part in robot mode. it's not the weapon itself, and is thus bad design
>>10961903If even FoC is "not G1 enough" for you, why were you counting Laserwave then...?? Dummy.
>>10961907Wrong, the bumper turned into a crossbow weapon on the original toy and in the show. It attaches to the gun to replicate it, but Legacy sadly lacks the missile, which would become the car's tailpipe.
>>10961910>It attaches to the gun to replicate itand is thus, partsforming.
Hey nerds, Commander Armada Optimus restocks are up for preorder on Pulse and BBTS, and I assume other sites too.
>>10961908Those were examples of how they weren't making Shockwaves at the time despite being important in G1 cartoon. Just half-assed references in cartoon line or "everyone is real-world cars".
>>10961912The original gun was partsforming, stupid idiot Shinji. It's just a different type of partsforming now; if anything, what you SHOULD be complaining about is that it *lacks* one of the parts on the original.On that note, the original had the front bumper end up on SB's right shoulder - here it folds away into his pelvis, which is another inaccuracy to his character design.
>>10961914>despite being important in G1 cartoon.Ehhh, be fair, he had a couple cameo roles in the cartoon and that's it. He was cool but that's like calling Jetfire 'important' in the toon :bHe was absolutely important in both Marvel and Dreamwave doe, so I'll grant ya that, ye.
>>10961918You attach the rear bumper in the tab on the shoulder to replace that.
>>10961899Those were after 2010 and you are up to four in a 20+ year stretch.
>>10961920Who the fuck is Jetfire? Skyfire was the big Autobot flier.
>>10961913Stupid gold shit on his head
>>10961921It barely holds though, and then that robs you of his main weapon even further...
>>10961918>>10961918>The original gun was partsforming,No, it wasn't. The original gun was all one piece. You did not need to take off part of the car and attach it to the gun as a separate piece.
>>10961922Classics didn't even start until 2006.
>>10961922I forgot the TFP and DotM Shockwaves too lol. But no, TFA Shockwave was sometime 2007-9. Was just pointing out "no new Shockwaves every couple years until 2016" was a misnomer, I'd call it more accurately ~2011.
>>10961923He was Jetfire in the Marvel comic and on the toy, and was even recorded as "Jetfire" for the show til being changed right at the last minute. Don't be a dweebus maximus >:p
>>10961928Yes it was, again, the tailpipe. Technically yes it """doesn't count""" because it's a spring-loaded missile, but if we're going by show accuracy then that thing never fired off - it was treated as just a part of the gun and fired lasers. So, phhhhtbtbtttbtbbtbtbtt.
>>10961943>Technically yes it """doesn't count"""It outright doesn't count because it's a missile. Missiles are, by design, supposed to be separate parts.RID Side Burn/Shadow Striker doesn't partsform.Legacy Side Burn/Shadow Striker partsforms.Accept your L, it's happening if you believe it or not.
>>10961637i have no sense of time anymore. it makes it both agonizing and really easy to wait.one day i just wake up and there's huge sales
If this toy was called Nightviper and had a different head, exactly zero people would be defending it.
>>10961706oh you mean like the left and right of both rub together? i hadn't thought of that.. i'd better be extra careful. that shade of gold is kinda hard to match>>10961711i like how robot mode looks like a horse standing up.I just realized Shattered Glass Lifetime would basically be Spike TV
>>10961801sometimes i realize how good we have it. not often.
>>10961691Really needs the visor the Powermaster helmet gave prime, at the very least a new head with a faceplate.
>>10961912Guns are definitely the most innocuous partsforming.
>>10961924wait is that not show-accurate?
Legacy Armada Prime is getting reissued at Hasbro Pulse for those who missed out. https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-legacy-evolution-armada-universe-optimus-prime-figure
>>10961972That's nice, dear. That's not what was being discussed.
>>10961973how stupid are you that you can't just find a screencap yourself
>>10961986*squint*i swear it said "the gun attaches, so it's partsforming" fuck me.
>>10961987some of us are busy. and it's easier and more effective to have the person who's upset describe what part has changed. I might not see it myself til it's pointed out.
>>10961973I don't know I just never liked how it looked.
>>10961995you can't figure it out from "gold shit on head"? that's literally preschool skills, anon.
>>10962006there's a LOT of gold shit on the head>>10961998oh, fair enough. it is a very unusual convoy design. I quite like it, but it doesn't fit in well with the others. you look at it, you don't think oh that's a convoy of some type.
>>10962008I'd want just the prime without the trailer. Wonder what he looks like with the combine parts but not the other head?
>>10962016It's not possible with the way he transforms - when he goes into Super Mode, he basically does a handstand, with his feet becoming the Super Mode arms and his robot head tucking in so his neck and shoulders can become his torso while the other head folds down into the spot that was his normal mode's crotch.It would be pointless to swap the heads, anyway, since you said you don't want the trailer, which is the Super Mode's entire lower torso, meaning you'd never get to see it anyway.
>>10962016do you not understand how the combined mode works
>>10962035Having yellow eyes on the super mode in the Legacy toy is funny. Usually Optimus Prime toys avoid having yellow eyes, but this one adds it where there wasn't one.
>>10962039They were just being consistent - he already had yellow eyes in normal mode, and red eyes are typically for bad guys.
>>10962044Optimus's own troops start with a red visor guy.
>>10961801>>10961836>>10961879Hasbro also had weird mental hurdles on what was appropriate for Soundwave (I remember a heavy emphasis on actual SOUND powers presumably because someone saw the name and wanted it as literal as possible). You can see this reach its peak with how the 07 movie's development had THREE characters all develop from attempts at Soundwave ultimately feeling "not good enough" for Hasbro-- Blackout, Brawl, and Frenzy.
>>10961836>so what was the holdup?Archer was very cagey about feeding too much into nostalgia, he was fearful something like MOTU 200X would happen where after all the G1 fans got their initial fix of the originals they just leave and he also wanted to have fun designing new toys and didn't see the fun of taking the same designs and just reworking them over and over again. It was a major reason why he resigned in 2013 from the brand because he wasn't having fun making G1 Prime and Movie Prime over and over again. You'll notice it was shortly after that time we got stuck in this forever G1 that seems inescapable.
>>10962051Frenzy is the size of a kid. That wouldn't be suitable at all.
>>10962056to be fair the guy that took over for him made a name for himself of mining nostalgia like oil so it's hardly a surprise.
>>10962051>(I remember a heavy emphasis on actual SOUND powersso... like G1 Soundwave?
>>10961948S'all a matter of perspective, anon. What if the og toy was made after the show, or merely didn't have a springloaded missile, yet transformed the exact same way? You'd call it partsforming, because in order to match what was onscreen, the tailpipe had to detach and reattach elsewhere.Im not the one making a big deal outta it anyway lawl, you are; I'm the one wondering why this's such a grave offense to you one way or the other.
>>10962063Surprisingly not in his original kit.
>>10961948>RID Side Burn/Shadow Striker doesn't partsformstep two my dude
>>10962071not partsforming, my dude
>>10962069They had to rework a lot of these guys for the show. Soundwave only laughs twice in the show at all.
>>10962073Yeah, it's only partsforming when a toy I don't like does it.
>>10962076...anon, "have the last laugh" is a turn of phrase, not that he literally laughs all the time.
While we're on the topic, remember the time the toy engineers made something switch parts between limbs without it actually partsforming, but the cartoon animators just draw it partsforming anyway?
>>10962073It removes completely from the mode and robot when transforms. What else would you call it?
>>10962088Weapon storage
>>10962088A missile.
>>10962088Guns are not partsforming you fucking idiot
Pictured: not partsforming.
>>10962100Unironically, yes. That's not partsforming.
>>10962069Cartoon G1 Soundwave had sound powers.
>>10962103Yeah, if you lose those pieces the wolf mode is complete.
>>10962112Good thing that's not the defining description of partsforming, then.
>>10962035Armada was for babies when I was growing up. So no I don't know how it works
>>10962118Adults are typically able to understand baby things, anon.
>>10962086How many figures have this kind of sliding rail-transfer in their transformation? Only other ones I can think of are Siege/Kingdom UM's butt plate and one old Fansproject figure, it's such a neat bit of engineering
>>1096212207 Deluxe Jazz had it for his arm panels, but it was such a counter-intuitive step that they wound up retooling the toy to just not needing to do it anyway.
Oh my Primus, it is another Omega Supreme
>>10962118You couldn't tell from looking at pictures of both modes on the toy, though? It's pretty obvious the combined arms are the normal robot legs, and the fact that the entire truck cab is now pointing down when it was going up for normal mode should have been a giveaway that the combined head was on the opposite side of his body.
>>10962120Just saying I only watched G1, beast wars and read g2.
>>10962130>07 Deluxe Jazz had it for his arm panelsWhat? No it didn't. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>10962112Like mine :(
>>10962122Siege and Kingdom Magnus slide their grill from altmode to botmode backpack, also Fansproject Chromedome slide his chest.
>>10962103So then what is the parts forming on Legacy Sideburn?
>>10962143Should have bought a replacement at Walmart then.
>>10961687>>10961691We're so back bros
>>10961783>I understand and agree with the sentiment of "just like cool toys even if innaccurate">sounds like you're projecting your own regrets onto others. I'm sorry RotB sucked anon,You might actually be retarded
>>10962100By this definition, every transformer ever made is a partsformer, even the Legacy ones, because you have to move a gun to transform them
>>10962160Is that gun a PART of the complete alternate mode?
>>10962149The bumper you fucking idiot.
>>10962160That doesn't even work since not every transformer has weapons to begin with.
Best guy crawling through
>>10962163Doesn't matter. If I have to move the gun from point A to point B I'm afraid that's partsforming.>>10962166Cope.
>>10962164but why is >>10962071 not? One makes a shield the other makes a gun.
>>10962164it makes a blast shield, it even calls it that in the instructions. You are claiming the bumper of RID Sideburn which makes the gun doesn't count but in this cause it does, why?
>>10962172You can go from vehicle to robot without detaching guns on a bunch of plane guys because they attach to their wings to being with.
>>10962160>By this definition>It's a picture with no words You are falling apart man. >because you have to move a gun to transform themDon't play this level of retarded anon, you are better than this. Everyone understands the case being argued is if the part removed feature essential pieces of the alt mode to be reattached elsewhere, be it hand or back, it should count as partsforming
>>10962175The bumper and the gun on the orignial are all one piece. The bumper IS the gun.On the Legacy toy, the bumper is a separate piece from the gun. It's not a part of the car that is a part of the weapon, it's a part of the car they couldn't figure out how to integrate into the transformation. It's not attached to the gun in car mode. It can attach, as a separate piece, to the gun for robot mode. That is partsforming.It is also a """"""""shield""""""" seen here >>10962176, but that's just an excuse to slap the bumper on somewhere because, again, they couldn't integrate it into the transformation or weapon design as a single piece. It's a cop out.>ib4 "durrhurr but what about >>10962100"That shield was designed from the get-go as an actual captial S SHIELD. It has its own transformation steps, a handle to hold it like a shield, it's a large blocking object.
>>10962182>Everyone understands the case being argued is if the part removed feature essential pieces of the alt mode to be reattached elsewhere, be it hand or back, it should count as partsformingNo, everyone doesn't understand this, because it's not true. Weapons are not partsforming.
>>10962189They are when they form an integral PART of the alternate mode. If >>10962167 loses the crossbow of his Insecticon toy, you'd never notice at all. Conversely, if Cheetor loses his tail gun, they took his ass, he can't shit.
>>10962122it's sort of neat, but it's also kind of unsatisfying and cheaty to me.
>>10962183>That shield was designed from the get-go as an actual captial S SHIELD. It has its own transformation stepsand RID Sideburns gun has none so why does it get a pass? You really are losing it man.
>>10962086Not TF, but this is how the VF-1 transforms in Macross. The engines/legs get attached to the nosecone area by a delivery system. Most toys cheat it with a swinging bar.
>>10962200is your reading comprehension really that poor
>>10962189>Weapons are not partsforming.Which is what >>10962176 you even agree here >>10962183You are just doing a lot of damage control because you don't like how they did weapons for the new figure over the old and try to force a term that you just debunked yourself 4 times over. Take a break and go hang out with a friend or something man.
Well at least is isn't nerd lizards now
>>10962202Yours clearly is and worse, you are bring everyone down with it. Your argument is "That doesn't count because I don't like it" and nothing else.
>>10962198Yes, those are unfortunate events, and I'm not arguing that the two types of weapons aren't different, or that they don't have different advantages and disadvantages.But it's not partsforming. That's not what partsforming is.
>>10962206Me liking it has nothing to do with my argument. I never once mentioned personal preferences. You're the only one that's injecting that concept into this.
>>10962183>but that's just an excuse Oh so it's an excuse when you don't like the toy doing it but fine when you like the toy?
>>10962209Why do you keep assuming I like the original Sideburn toy? I never claimed that.
>>10962208You liking it/not liking was giving you the good faith that you just didn't say something stupid and wasted your time trying to cope with the stupid thing you said rather than just realize they are both the same idea and move on.
>>10962164The bumper is a shield and with the "fusion gimmick" makes a crossbow according to the site. We would have to call any time two weapons/accessories coming together partsforming by your logic which is just really silly anon....
>>10962211Well, 1: That's schizo talk. Please take your medication, and2: I can quite plainly demonstrate how they are not the same idea.
>this whole back and fourth over Shadow StrikerOK I concede, Shadow Striker is a major standout character from Cyberverse, no way would anons argue over this otherwise. I was wrong to think no one liked her when this much passion is stirred up over her bumper.
>>10962215Again: the bumper is a "shield" as a cop out.>We would have to call any time two weapons/accessories coming together partsforming by your logic which is just really silly anon....That depends, on a case-by-case basis, entirely on what those pieces are and how they interact with the toy otherwise. Don't try to generalize the concept to move the goal posts.
>>10962219You have lost the plot anon. You call others schizo when you can't even see how lost you are. You made a picture of two guns and shield thinking it helps anything, it just makes you look that much more crazy to fight over this.
>>10962223It has nothing to do with the character, this is purely a toy design issue.
>>10962225the bumper is a "shield" as a cop out.Both are cope outs look at >>10962219 That bumper to the gun is ugly as fuck and is just their to help the OG figure have a complete transformation, they couldn't figure anyway to incorporate the bumper into his mold so they glued it to the end his gun and called it a day.
>>10962228I'm hopping you didn't take the post seriously
>>10962167holy shit nice. I love this guy. Come on legacy give us a new one. this time, it WOULD be good for you to peg in the beast mode legs so they can't move (a peg that fits in the hand would do it)or don't give us a new one, because he is fineor give us one inspired by him, but looking more like one of those really thick black stag beetles.then give us a new Ram Horn.
>>10962229It's a cop-out of design, sure, but not a cop-out of partsforming.
>>10962201wait really? interesting..
White people will argue over toy and "partsforming" for hours.
>>10962231Let's just assume he did and let him have his retard award for it.
>>10962233I read from a reviewer that they lost the mold to this guy
>>10962231Oh I did, because there are people who legitimately would misunderstand a conversation and say something like that. And if your choice of reaction image is indicative of you thinking I was offended, I wasn't. I was simply corrective.
>>10962233It would just be a redeco of Chop Shop
Kingdom Ultra Magnus>makes a complete alt-mode without the extra parts (truck cab)>makes a complete robot without the extra parts>extra parts are designed to be armor+weapons for the robotConclusion: Kingdom Ultra Magnus is not a partsformer
>>10962237only the ones that are nearing/over 40 and still living with mom and/or dad. Rest of us just watch and/or egg on.
>>10962245Improper conclusion due to flawed logic.
>>10962243You are that worried about a misunderstand on a anonymous moonrune thread that will be 404 in a weeks time?
>>10962245Ultra Magnus is the robot with the armor attached. To be Ultra Magnus, you need to partsform.
>>10962241They mold for Rattrap was gone but they redid it for Vintage Beast Wars. It's not likely for Insecticon, but we know it's possible now.
>>10962245I like you. Hope things are going well and only get better for you.
>>10962250In the moment, yes. Why not?>>10962251Except for one instance, the little guy inside the armor is still Ultra Magnus. He's not only Ultra Magnus with the armor on.
>>10962251>Ultra Magnus is the robot with the armor attached. Nope, try again.
>>10962251>Ultra Magnus is the robot with the armor attachedLies, Hasbro,Takara and revoltech have sold white optimus as Ultramagnus. They didn't think about specific names when upgraded until Ginrai/PM Prime.
>>10962259
Honestly can't tell anymore if this group would consider ER Cliffjumper to be a partsformer
>>10962285Considering he is a damn Cliffjumper where the original was just stick your limbs out and you are a robot yeah.
>>10962254And I hope things are going well for you as well anon.
>>10962285He is.
>>10962178But then you wouldn't be following the instructions and thus guilty of mistransforming.
Just got Cybertron Starscream. Man, what a stunner, seriously. I really hope the rest of the Cybertron updates are similarly good
>>10962241then i'm glad i got him...
>>10962244nuuubesides they can't make him a g1 remold because the name 'insecticon' would be too confusing
>>10962338It would be labeled Beast Wars Universe Predacon Insecticon. Kuwagigger might be proposed, but shot down.
So, when, Hasbro ? I know Evan did say he wanted to do it when asked last year I think, but I really want this exact thing : a red Diaclone Mirage that is the Kingdom Variant with the toy head and as an Autobot. pretty please.
Guys I Transformed Armada Optimus Prime today and I have to take him b ack to the store because he is actually a partsformer his legs are not the same as his body when you make him Big guy mode. You also have to put hims gun in his hand as well so even if they came together, you have to put gun in hand and form parts part hand gun part and form.
>>10962354that's not really the point
>>10962237while niggers just shoot you for...well any reason
>>10962377DK-4 Spy
>>10962377Box pack with Riggorus, Reboost, Blue Hoist, and some other guy. Maybe the slightly different red Honda Turbo or Topspin.
>>10962387What is the issue if it isn't name overlap? Laser Cycle is named as a group instead of an individual as a retail product.
>>10962393*City
>>10962394concept overlapg1 insecticons are a thing. using a g1 mold makes that too weird to have a guy who named himself after the ancient faction
>>10962393A four pack would suck but I'd probably find buyers for the others, as I don't really care for those shitty Hoist/Trailbreaker and Skids molds.
>>10962401Dinobot is named after the faction and you have Grimlock who uses the same body who is a Dinobot. It doesn't matter.
>Skid's vehicle mode was called Jazz in EuropeWTF
>>10962245Siege-Kingdom Ultra Magnus is literally the definition of Parts Forming my guy
>>10962377Doesn't have a dedicated TFWiki page so Hasbro doesn't know he exists.
>>10961687Goddamn, about time someone did thi->>10961691>no mouthplateWelp. Never mind
>>10962432Go look up the other one
>>10962432did he use a mouthplate in the show when he used this?
>>10962418Congratulations, you understood the joke.
>>10962440He never used this in the show.
>>10962451that's probably why there's no mouthplate then lol
>>10962455wait a minute>>10962451when you said 'this' you meant the super modei'm pretty sure he did, but if he didn't, then it's based on an old toy, right? So did THAT toy have a mouthplate?
>>10962440His super mode was for the following season that got cancelled. Concept art for it gave it a mouth plate.
>>10962459
>>10962461>>10962462then that is a bona fide mistake!I mean it seems like this is only loosely based on that design, it has some enhancements, but.. come on, include the mouthplate.
>>10962462That is a different design.
>>10962285Absolutely partsformerYou can not achieve alt form or vehicle without having to physically remove a part and relocate it
>>10962440To add to >>10962461, here is the original unreleased design from the Allspark Almanac, where you can see the head design is supposed to not only have a faceplate, but also a visor. as >>10962462 also points out, Wingblade Optimus prime has a faceplate, which is also present in his show appearance.
>>10962465>>10962462these two look different, but very similar.>>10961691this clearly has elements of it, but... those knees are pure gundam.
>>10962465>>10962462Oh, I changed the person I was replying to, but forgot to remove the image.
>>10962471The one with translucent is the released Japanese version. Opaque was the cancelled western version.
>>10962477are allt he differences i'm seeing just paint app related?>>10962473ohhh i see the shins now! so that's what they were doing. I love the stacked wheels.crazy they put so much work into designs like this only for them to be curvilinear cartoon drawings on the show
>>10962486The armor parts are identical apart from the colors, but the western release was going to use the Deluxe Prime for the 2-pack while the Japanese version used the Voyager Prime, as the pieces are compatible with both molds
>>10962492weiiiird
>>10962335well some guy above said they lost rattrap but made another or something
Lots more pictures of MPM Brawl are out now
>>10962501love that starscreami swear even though they are totally movie accurate, somehow the three on the left looked way cooler in the movie. I dunno. power of imagination I guess.hope we get the Dreads at some point.
>>10962501damn, barricade is a manlet
>>10962508well he turns into a car, not -literally the largest military machines they could find-what's this megatron turn into, I forget. is he the flying tank one
>>10962508Barricade confirmed defected Autobot
>>10962501Frenzy didn't even bother to show up
>>10962513whoa, battle damage parts?
>>10962501MPM Constructicons when?
>>10962534I would plotzi fucking loved devastator. we need more transformers with unusual builds like that, knucklewalking and hunching over and eating other transformers..
>>10962510The alien jet
>>10962534MPMG*
>>10962545no fuckin way, this looks way too good. i see no folded up wings anywhere.god I might have to get this. I love that design, looked like the Stingray.
>>10962537They did everyone who could reasonably work at that scale, so going to RotF for next movie MP seems plausible enough. I'm guessing among the Decepticons order will be Megatron (RotF), The Fallen, Constructicons, Sideways, some redeco guys of Constructicons. The Fallen is interesting since he doesn't transform in the film, will he just be a bigger version of his usually vague space bullshit from the toyline?
>>10962377I'd be okay if they released this version if they do a new mold. The Siege/Kingdom Mirage mold is weird, I never like the fake robot mode chest. Although we are getting a reissue of Crasher next year.
>>10962548Won't the unified name be just MPG? Since the Constructicons and Optimus Prime/Jetfire do the combine thing, seems okay.
>>10962552oh hell, if we get a new Jetfire, one that isn't compromised by a stupid combiner mode? where his legs look right? god damn, there would go my wallet.
>>10962560>isn't compromised by a stupid combiner modelolno. The geezer exists to become parts for Optimus.
>>10962562i'm okay with that! if parts are removable, and optimus-ible? I'm there. But please not another shitty combiner that looks nothing like what it was in the movie.
