>>11085034The boss! The stupid triceratops one! The others!
new Transformers One trailer is out btwhttps://youtu.be/PEYLZhlJVbI
>>11085037Wasn't the triceratops green?
>>11085052They had to change the colors because of the combined mode color scheme
>>11085046this is gonna be hot garbage. also is it just me or is every voice actor except elita's just straight up bad?
So Omega Prime will also include a TM recolor of Cerebros with the Fortress head used in the sdcc and LG release.Someone also brought up that they may have touched up the Omega Prime head, but I haven't been able to compare with renders.
>>11085057I would've preferred a T-AI figure desu
>>11085072Same, but that would require additional work.
>>11085034>>11085037Are they using that awful milk plastic they used for apeface?
>>11085056It looks and sounds alright to me, although that’s what happens when you hire celebrity voice actors instead of professional vo's
After careful thought, I feel that the biggest sin of the Transformers franchise in the past decade is reviving Beast Wars and not spamming us with Core Class bots. Then killing off the size class entirely. Wtf Hasbrah? Surely we will get a replacement size class like Legends or Scout, r-right?
They didnt even give us Bat Optimus and Gator Megatron. WtfKingdom x Core Class is the biggest Hasbro fumble in ages.
>>11085105Gator Megatron is in the Classic Hero Team line.
>>11085108>Googles himYeah, I literally NEED that shit
>>11085115J-Decker (lie)
>>11085046Still don't careLooks like hot dogshit in every way imaginable. So far the toys aren't even good either so it's not looking good
>>11085021>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
>>11085128Transformers stopped being legit after the Coof.
>>11084489if i palm my face any harder, i'm gonna get acne>>11084246oh this looks great>>11085014pretty gnar. Don't be afraid to paint the mane hinges, those clear pretty well.
>>11085034>>11085037the most 'you tried' designs ever>>11085096>>11085105this is a fun head swap
>>11085072Everyone did. I would have been fine with a decent painted figurine, but its not like I expect Hasbro to include shit I want. They didn't include Jan or his transforming truck with Star Saber.
Six shot
>>110851896 modes, and 5 of the suck.
>>11085189How much?
>>11085115Is that Chasimus Prime?
>>11085215Six modes!
>>11085226How much did it set you back?
>>11085215100. Came with the upgrade parts installed.
>>110852326 whole modes
If you were still looking for toxitron collection or maybe you were on the fence on some but decided to pass, go check your local clearance sectionI passed on this fig at first cuz ive already got road rocket but just found her on clearance for $15, also saw the rest of the toxitron line and some movie stragglers but i already had them or wasnt interested, only decided to get this one because of that cool toyhax set that makes her a ninja rave girl
Say the line Wheeljack!
>>11085034>>11085037Lmao i dont understand how anyone wants this, perfectly happy with my fans project set thanksIts really such a shame, this shitty cycle of execs not wanting to fund obscure "unsafe" characters so they get stuck as shitty remolds and then when they flop execs feel justified in denying the next obscure character "just make another bumblebee"
>>11085046These are just the Earthspark designs but 10x worse, what the fuck?
Is anything going to come of that Unicron tease?
>>11085292How tall is that dinoking compared to haslab victory saber?
>>11085299Whatever Legacy show they proposed would have followed on from the WFC Netflix series
>>11085299This is the scrapped version of the poster for a reason
>>11085143Thanks broski. Just some old parts layin around that found their way to eachother >>11085216Good question. Trying ti figure out how to head-canon their trailer modes without making them Primes. I guess they are just trailers lol
>>11085300Dont have the haslab but apparently its 10in for regular, 13 with leo stiltsFp dinoking is about 11in, not my pic but should give you an idea
>>11085046Holy shit how do you make Soundwave not look cool?
>>11085046looks great
>>11085312‘Mirin that Road Caesar and Liokaiser
>>11085308Everything else in that pic got made. There has to be a design chillin’ on the shelf for that Unicron. They probably decided to wait longer so Haslab cucks dont go nuclear
>>11085034>>11085037So are these fuckers going to be a box set or sold individually? I only managed to find Snarl, Slag, and Sludge at retail out of the regular Dinobot versions.
>>11085333Maybe, i kind of read it as just being more like a continuation of the kingdom story, its unicrons dead head so maybe in their lore bible or whatever unicron dies at the end of kingdom and that leads to the multiverse collapse that brings all the legacy characters togetherId be more interested in what i think is a g1-ized dotm megatron in the middle there? I love that design, got the ss version, but a g1 version could be cool too
>>11085333The one closest to the viewer wasn't. A very different Straxus than what was made years later.
>>11085333What about that straxus, anon? Legacy was originally supposed to have a story and I garauntee you that's why unicrons disembodied head is there, and that nothing will ever come of it because it was scrapped early in production
>>11085312Alright ya, it should work pretty well
>>11085342Straxus you pączki-eater.
>>11085034>>11085037I have absolutely no idea how, but I got it into my head t hat Dinoking was an Autobot. I guess it was the color scheme, and I think I had him pegged as the rival of Monstructor in Japan because of the Pretender shit. Did the Autobots even have a Pretender combiner?Huh.
>>11085342>Id be more interested in what i think is a g1-ized dotm megatron in the middle there? I love that design, got the ss version, but a g1 version could be cool tooWel shit I completely missed that. The heck is that? Looks like what you said crossed with Skullgrin kinda. Looks sick. I always got the impression that these are paintings of the actual figures, as they are always very accurate to the final figure. Makes me wonder if CADs or protos of these exist. I would be so down for a Leader or Commander Unicron head that turned into a Core-ish scale figure.
>>11085352https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/11/23/unused-legacy-straxus-art-first-look-499570
>>11085353>it seems Straxus was originally going to be a Legacy part 1 Leader Class toy before he was replaced by Transmetal 2 Megatron.Reeee whos bright idea was that?
>>11085358Someone who realized that making a clusterfuck of parts that recycles the name of a comic-only character wouldn't sell as a $50 toy in regular stores.
>>11085349I assume this is intended to be racist but i have no fucking clue what that even meansSorry i dont keep up with every tfw2005 post, looked like megs to me
>>11085046These look like robot versi9ns of that corpo art, alegri or whatever it is. Where the bodiesand heads are too small and arms and legs are huge
>>11085333Everything else in that picture is from the first wave of Legacy, not even Legacy Evolution
>>11085362It was posted here when it was new news and you got a typical post complaining about IDW.
>>11085046I liked it not gonna lie
>>11085375It probably will be okay as a movie, but not really feeling a desire go out and buy the toys.
>>11085379Yeah the toys don't look very interesting. I'm kinda curious about Megatron tho
>>11085361Gotta disagree, i know people love accuracy but that looks like it couldve been a cool new toy
>>11085350Kakuryu does join the Autobots after Victory.
>>11085341I think the last thread showed them in one box
>>11085438
>>11085444price?
I finally got Swoop and I'm glad to say I have all the leader Dinobots now. Feels nice to have a decent matching set of big Dinobots, though I admit Swoop's flying brick mode makes him feel like the weakest one lol.
>>11085454I don't think it's available until fall
>>11085444where's Monstructor damnit!
>>11085464Has he ever not been a flying brick? Animated was the cleanest I think he's ever been or will ever be.
>>11085464Jelly. My buddy got him today too and he is sweet. Mine is sitting in the warehouse, payment declined bc I am broke. Fml. My Fort Max reissue is also trying to ship right now too and no fucking way am I gonna be able to pay for that before it cancels. :(
>>11085470I guess I was expecting the wings to flap a little more and for him to have like, actual legs. I don't really follow previews of figures so I never really know what I'm getting lol.
>>11085464I like his flying brick mode, it's more of a jet than a dinosaur
>>11085472does Hasbro pay well or do you suck dick for free?
>>11085056 yep total shit job
>>11085375odds are someone on the planet likes the taste of shit
>>11085496Speaking from experience?
>>11085489Thanks I think I will buy bootlegs just do I don't have to use this general anymore
>>11085472whenever you say this it reminds me of this cat
>>11085350there was an animation error in one episode where the boss of them had a purple autobot symbol on his chest. I dont remember which one.
>>11085454>>11085466No, but 80s been being knocked around.
>>11085469I have to imagine if Dinoking sells well we'll get Monstructor remolds eventually.
>>11085489imagine having the sort of brain that comes up with a sentence like that. do your handlers know you have internet access, you mutant?
>>11085532Seems like a lot of new parts would be needed.
>>11085544meds
It's been multiple threads of this STOP FUCKING REPLYING YOU RETARDS
>>11085553Which one am I to not reply to? Claim thread isn't legitimate, blatant racism, complaining about third parties, or bitching about media?
>>11085046far better than the first trailer. I think Im hyped. showing op and megs souring out is what I wanted a taste of last time and I finally got it here. now to wait and see for the execution.what competition does this movie have around its release? joker 2 is in early october, after this. if its light, could this be the first big w for transformers movies since 2014 (financially speaking)?
>>11085589Was this intended for a different thread?
>>11085593Please excuse my stupidity...
>>11085096>>11085105agreed. core wouldve been a great place for more obscure beast era figures. they started tapping this with tazmanian kid, but never exploited it. I think many beast wars neo characters couldve fit, like heinrad, stampy, and the annomite destron.
>>11085609Had to waste time making another mini-version of the Optimus Prime/Megatron/Starscream and then the line died.
>>11085226>>11085248Heh.
>Swoop arrived>comes with two swords for no reasonI'll probably put them in the parts box
>>11085558I'm not reading the rest of your stupid fucking post because it's the same shit every single time>shitposting fag cries about le bootlegs>retard replies to them>insert pointless argument against shitposting fag that leads to nothing because they spew the same drivel every reply just fucking stop you retards, it's embarrassing and an argument you will never win no matter how many snide epic pwnage replies you try
>>11085622I think one is for Grimlock?
>>11085625Huh. I thought it was the off-topic posting that you were upset about. Oh well.
>>11085609>>11085617With them having spent the last few years going so hard on scale accurate(ish) mainline figures, who the hell wanted pocket buddies of the same old gang? I don't understand the point. I bought Tasmanian Kid, the Pretender guys, the Cassette guys, etc. But the fuck do I need a weird tiny Skywarp for?
>>11085629Swoop and Comic Grimlock are both required to get swords for the full crew. It's some goddamn bullshit.I still say we should have gotten an accessory pack comprised of Slash as a headliner, and the swords and guns.
>>11085634Originally the plan was to sell those in places like dollar general and big lots, but then Hasbro priced those out of the market six and made a different line for there in Authentics.
>>11085641Would this slash be deluxe-sized voyager with accessories, or a voyager-sized leader with accessories?
>>11085647I'll go with Pulse exclusive deluxe with accessories at leader price
>>11085542Sorry, that budget is earmarked for 6 more retools of Seige Megatron.
>>11085647Naw, the original figure. I peg her as the team mascot now. So she's tiny. Most of these accessory packs are a deluxe with a bunch of bullshit. I guess my idea would be a Legends/Core/Whatever the fuck with a ton of bullshit. So price point of a Deluxe?
>>11085634I don't mind mini versions of the guys. they go well with the Titan bases. That said, we don't need the same guys being made over and over.
>>11085644So the retread characters got crammed into the mainline, and bombed the entire size class?Also were Bomburst and Iguanus there to fill a weird hole? They're odd and out of place.
>>11085663I thought I read they were a last minute replacement for something called Energon Monsters that was cancelled.shame. they were kino. Hasbro should've did more.
>>11085671Eh, their size class sucks for what they're meant to represent. But still better than another goddamn Skywarp or whoever.And yeah, Energon Monsters. Do we know if that was the actual name or a codename? Do we know anything there?Anyway, Core Class, it really should have been used to crank out Beast era characters, maybe the Throttlebots, maybe uprades to Micromasters. Stuff like that.
>>11085096>>11085617seems to me a problem they have is the left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing.let me give an example: recently we had cybertron metroplex and and armada megatron, neither with the minicon. the excuse is each toy doesnt have the budget for an extra little guy, but if whoever was working on one knew about the other, then they could have saved engineering since drill bit was a retool. it was a missed opourtuinity, thats my theory.
>>11085678Actually a good point. Core could have knocked out upgraded Minicons too.
>>11084348I'm fine with it in this instance, though I don't want to say it's fine "just because the G1 toy did it!" it really does seem intentionally abstract as opposed to just being compromised. But I do get what you mean, the community seems fine with ignoring stuff like sideburn's and 86 bumblebee's alt mode, and it just makes the series seem so much more boring to me, can't really get exited for a transformer with a decent bot mode if it sacrifices what is supposed to be half of the toy for it.
>>11085617I think that combined with cranking out 6 uniformly coloured undercooked dinobots is what crashed it at retail
>>11085677Pretenders could be little guys too.
>>11085688A combiner in that size class, at that price point was never going to be amazing. I think doing the Dinobots in that class while also cranking out the Studio Series versions just left collector types not giving a shit about them. They did the Dinobots first as a safety measure, but I wonder if going for the Dinoking guys would have been a smarter move.
When is the SDCC panel?
>>11085686You don't even know what a bad alt mode looks like. Let me show you.
>>11085696Is.... is it upside down?
>>11085696da fuck is that?
>>11085021Gotta buy three guys I already have to get this bird fucker
>>11085703They couldn't even recolor the little shits into lesser known characters that are the little shits molds. Fucking hell.This is the third Netflix Soundwave I'm going to have. Luckily I haven't opened the damned Bridge set yet. So I don't know, maybe I'll flip that.
who has Six Shot?
>>11085696Why does he have enlarged testicles
>>11085706Could've gave us Enemy and Howlback
Yo Joe Kup revealed
>>11085695tomorrow at 6pm PDT
>>11085714From Overload.
>>11085719I was wondering if they let the Transformers team design this one but then I looked at the feet
>>11085719See I actually like this design but I just could not give less of a shit for the Joe collabs, if this design was regular Transformers scale and engineering then I would be 100% on board.What a fumble of a line, they at least should have done one or two two collab releases from the other direction.
>>11085719are the Joes' the still shitty O ring versions?
>>11085729So Action Masters with more articulation? Or a a Joe vehicle painted to look like a Transformer?
>>11085719Kup feels like a weird choice. The other three were 84 guys. You'd think they would've went with Ironhide or someone.
>>11085719This is probably the best one so farAnd that is damning with faint praise
>>11085719I really like that he isn’t trying to hide away his alt mode kibble unlike the others. You’re supposed to embrace it, embrace it!
>>11085741Like rather than a Transformer that's compatible with the GI Joe lines, have it be like every other collab where it's a regular chug scaled Transformer with a GI Joe design.
>>11085743You call him Sgt. Kup, you give him a cy-gar, you pair with with Sgt Slaughter.The choice probably came from that kind of vague idea
>>11085743He's an old guy who gets called "Sergeant" on some toys to make his name easier to trademark. Seems okay.
>>11085748i feel like the issue with kibble ison a beast guy, there's no choice, beast parts can either be used in robot mode, or stashed away, or a combination of both. there's this separation between the flesh and metal partsbut on a vehicle guy, you want him to just be a vaguely humanoid (or not, hell) arrangement of vehicle parts.. there's no reason there should have to be a ton of small folded up parts making a big backpack, those parts should have stayed where they are.. but the problem is they wanna make things look like the show, which cheated pretty hard. actually same problem with beast wars.
>>11085756It would be weird having a new Snow Cat bigger than Energon Megatron, but okay.
>>11085756I like pilot/rider compatibility but better engineering/designs at a smaller scale would be better1:18th line is cool though because TFs are now compatible with other 1:18 scale figures, but the engineering on these aren't great
>>11085719These have been such colossal dogshit lmaoI don't know why they're still pushing them
>>11085729>>11085756I think it'd be cool if they did something like this again
>>11085776rumor has it this is the last one
>>11085781Good. There are a few GI Joe vehicles that might have overwhelmed not buying bad toys reason if they made.
>>11085777bludgeon from Trannyformers?
>>11085775And I'm saying they could do both, right now these only really appeal to Joe fans who have an existing O-ring collection. Meanwhile if this was a deluxe Kup I would buy it immediately.
>>11085783what
>>11085781Rumor has it there's still an Optimus
>>11085803
>>11085806I know who bludgeon is, I thought you were sperging out because he's an IDW character or something
>>11085812no?
>Hasbro Pulse reworked the HasLab page to remove all the failures and the oldest projects
>>11085818Do not use tranny.
>>11085822?
>>11085696Legacy Whirlwing when?
>>11085759I agree completely. I think even making simple changes to certain designs for the same of the vehicle mode helps a lot, like when they let ironhide show off at least two of his Goddamned wheels in robot mode for ss 86. It just makes me think back to things like legacy gears where they have to shrink his tires just so that they can hide away inside his tiny chest. Legacy chase on the other hand spreads out his vehicle parts pretty evenly around his body in ways that look interesting, reducing his “backpack” into just two tiny flaps… that also somehow impede his articulation more than other larger backpacks because the darn things can’t move, but oh well, I still love how it looks
>>11085829Never.
>>11085696Seriously, I don't get why anon is acting like 86 bee is some demon from hell. It's awkward but really not that bad. Certainly better than that travesty that shadow striker ended up being.
>>11085292You mean the 3P figure that doesn't look a fuckin thing like Dinoking combined or seperated?
>>11085869Did I make it seem that way? I just dont feel like buying it even though I want a g1 bumblebee, I can assure you that I dislike shadow striker/sideburn even more, just trying to bring up example and 86 bee just feels like one of the most recent examples
>>11085819>Tf wiki removed all mentioned of failed transformers haslab in according to Hasbro official policy and Wikipedia best practices as practiced by wookieepedia
>>11085052>Wasn't the triceratops green?Originally, but after he changed sides and assumed a new identity, he turned gold, silver, red, and black with a little blue.>>11085350You might be thinking of Grimmaster. Kakuryu changes sides and becomes the Autobot Grimstone, eventually ends up becoming a proficient fighter, and gets his own squad of dino-drones that he's able to combine with.
>not wanting 86 BeeIts like you hate fun.
>>11085901i liked that guy
>>11085904I'm waiting for one of the inevitable redecos
>>11085907>PCCI regret selling any transformer. When you miss your PCC collection you really love every Transformer >tfw it just occurred to me that PCC is the ONLY Transformers line I ever 100% completed, even the hard to get recolors Man.
>>11085894>failed transformers haslabAre there those? Unicron got close but worked, and Star Saber/Deathsaurus/Omega Prime met the goal quickly.
>>11085904He looks cute in bot mode, but the roof and windows of the car just looks so ugly from all angles, and i’m not referring to the paint color. I’ll probably buy the mold as a recolor of some other guy, but for now i’ll just be content with my other little protagonist dudes
>>11085920>looks If you enjoy the flavor and mouthfeel of Gears, you will also like Bumblebee
>>11085894>>11085913Technically speaking, no TF Haslab has failed. Unicron's in a dubious spot since his campaign had to be extended to get more backers, but he still got funded
>>11085913>>11086018I think the Transformer franchise is the only one with a perfect record. Maybe GI Joe? I know a Marvel Legends and a Star Wars have failed.
>>11086018it's odd they ever have a time on it instead of just... we will begin once it hits X money. the sooner you all get in, the sooner you receive it
Missing Link Sentinel Prime, Armada Super Starscream, RotB Nemesis Prime, and a throne redeco.
>>11086036So the repaints begin
>>11085904He's total and complete dogshit manLooks NOTHING like ACTUAL 86 BeeUgly ass alt form that barely resembles the BeetleClunky feet that are like wearing cardboard boxes for shoesShit that doesn't tab inAwful head when they literally made perfect head several timesThe ugly black windows when they were previously so insistent on doing the baby blue for SS86
>>11085904I just don't like that car mode, man
>>11086036Think I'll wait for ML Nemesis Prime then.
>>11086040>Yellow not orangeI am a bit disappointed
>>11086052TR colors were an eyesore.
>>11086024Gi Joe is perfect with no Asterisks needed so far and their new one for the Rattler is already over the 2/3 mark for minimum needed backers despite only being live for a few hours.
>>11086045I’m still in such denial about the lack of minicons, the ones they did for hotshot and wheeljack were so cute
>>11086040>just another Prime redecothey couldn't find a different mold for this guy?
>>11086050So what is the reason for this recolor?
>>11086063Would you have preferred for Missing Link Sentinel Prime to have been remolded from the Bumblebee-Cliffjumper mold? The real oddity is that they went to Sentinel instead of Black Convoy.
>>11086012Gears look pretty crappy too
>>11086066why did they have to do a missing link Sentinel at all? Like you said, they could've did any number of other characters that use the Op mold.
>>11086066Maybe they didn't want three black repaints announced at once.
>>11086036Link to that Nemesis?
>>11085904>clonky robot modeOk but at least the bot mode->not the friendly face from the cartoon and movie, looks off, like half the earlier SS86 faces didLiterally reusing any prior head would have been better
>>11086066I just want Ultra Magnus
>>11086040man that's ugly
>>11085894It’s so tragic that they memoryhole’d haslab signal lancer forever…
>>11086111>>11086114>>11086115That looks genuinely mediocre. The ugly headsculpt along with the light blue windows and unpainted matrix chamber. Just what the fuck were they thinking?
>>11086111huh i seem to remember the trailer usually being large enough to hold him inside it like it could be a repair bay
>>11086040finally yellow prime, but not the yellow Fire Convoy people wanted.
>>11086119Yeah, the windows make the whole thing look ridiculously cheap. Literally all they had to was just copy how MP-44 did it with the dark blue tinted translucent windows.
>>11086119The huge backpack just reminds me of mp-44, I was hoping they wouldn't try something like that with a mainline figure, but here we are. at least the commander magmatron this year was good
>>11086130Oh fuck don't even remind me of the backpack. Not to mention those hollow sides it had in the first leak. I wonder if that looks as bad in hand
>>11086119>>11086129>>11086130>>11086142Don't worry the transformers fans will gladly slurp it up BECAUSE it's a scaled down MP44
Not a bad pair of toysBrakedown is a very nice shade of blue in hand, the hammer was a nice inclusion too.His head might be the most accurate Prime head of the bunch, not that it's attached to my first choice of mold.Windsweeper strikes a nice contrast colour wise, and the completely painted silver gunbuddies manage to look decent for fully immobile slabs
>>11086111>That fuckhuge, super-squared off chestUgh. All you had to do was copy mp44 which you obviously did on the legs. What happened to the rest. They literally just had to bootleg mp44 with cheaper parts. It was an alleyoop
got the 2nd jurassic park set in today and I realized I might be able to repaint jp-12 into some sorta black mesa jeep and make him into otis (could make the transparent blue piece into a xen crystal)now the real question is, what would be some other funny potential half life customs?
>>11085890man, shadow striker and sideburn are so painful to look at, for two characters that I've wanted for a while. At least the fan mode for striker gives her big booba
>>11086040Y'know, I really like this. It reminds me of shining magnus
>>11085904already happy with new Animated Bee
>>11086040
>>11086229Based
>>11086229I ended up liking his car mode way more than I thought
>>11086052He was yellow with a red face when he was introduced, then became orange with a blue face under and optional mouthplate.
>>11086058Better than bright yellow with red highlights.
>>11086257man that is excptional mecha drawing but the absolute goofest-ball proportions. everybody's got sailor moon legs.
>>11086279That's just how Prime's are built
>>11085904Netflix Bee is superior. Even with the parts forming.
>>11086291Except for the fact that it looks and plays like shit outside of the alt mode
>>11086167What wrong with MP-44?
>>11086119Can you help me understand the hate for it?
>>11086309I was going to say>what do you like about it?But then I recognized that I'm probably the one suffering from brand fatigue
>>11085904>>11086291>>11086294For everything the SS86 does right it gets something wrong that the Netflix one does right. Both play about the same. imo get whatever one you want. I don't have a dog in this fight.
This guy is awful in terms of how phoned in he was on everything but his beast/alt head but I am loving this guy.
>>11086310Well I only really buy 3P, so it’s not aimed at me but I was just wondering why all the hate
>>11086323>Well I only really buy 3PBased
>>11086065They're starting a whole series of thrones, that's why it has the label TC-01. Have all the furniture in the world, fuck your couch.
>>11086321yeah the robot legs and monster head are the best bits about him
>>11086321>>11086339>still can't tell to this day which one is anon's endearing custom and the other is Hasbro's half-assed attempt
>>11086321>>11086339The fake monster legs kibble are retarded, they look bad in both modes.>>11086372The customs used different robot mode arms/monster feet.
>>11086045>no miniconit's so joever, minijoever
>>11086382>fake monster legs kibbleif you mean the blue zigzaggy stalks that do nothing in either mode, you are correct
>>11086389They're there for "accuracy",
It seems people are excited about the con stuff and I guess I share some movie figure to balance it out Maybe we will get news for more MPM in the coming days So I got brawl here. I can't believe he is smaller than bone crusher. I think blackout is taller out of the 3 outside of the the meg/star duo. But damn bone crusher's size got some serious shelve present that brawl can't match
Brawl is a solid 9/10The transformation is a lot easier compared to bonecrusher and a lot smoother. The paint jobs are great. Though I am a bit confused about the green diamond parts on the shins. There are scratch marks and chips. I don't think they are supposed to be there, but if you look at online reviews and some promo images you can clearly tell some do have those marks and some don't. Maybe it is just a qc thing. Also one of the tape in the box got on a painted part. In trying remove it I ended up damaged a small section of the camouflage. What a bummer. The articulationa are mostly fine. I wish they add in a rotation between elbows and forearms. You can avoid gorilla arms but the bulk of the forearms just get in the way as of now and looks too busy. And there is the feet. I know it is a decision to have new figures (regardless of the scale) to have feet that can stay flat on the surface hence the sideway movement, but no forward and backwards range??Brawl and bonecrusher being so heavy it is somewhat difficult to pose them in action poses while tiptoed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=istHpJIuFbsUnboxing of 86 Prime, also he's out in Hong Kong, we have many pics right now.
>>11086040Surprised they didn't do a Nemesis repaint first
>>11085021Okay, I get it! If Power of the Primes has the gall to use Titan Master-compatible Pretender shells, why not give us a freaking Pretender Optimus Prime shell to use with Powermaster Prime's Hi-Q, being an extension of Optimus Prime himself?
Thundertron and Roadpig up on Walmart, not sold out this timehttps://www.walmart.com/shop/walmart-collector-con?facet=shelf_id:8263285&povid=ETS_collectibles_hubspokes_collectorshopcp_transformers_collectorcon
>>11086045Don't know why Takara bothered. Off we go waiting for yet another new mold, I guess.Honestly glad though, I dislike this deco so I would've been real upset if I had to buy it just because it might have had better retooling or a micron lmao.
>>11085696Well, Megatron is ready for a Gyno-Exam...
>>11085021Has anyone purchased the AliExpress leader class figs? They look really good.Where can I get some display statues of transformers? Looking for Hound or Drift.
>>11085046Downgrade
>>11085046G-whiners get what they fucking deserved.
>>11085592What series is this? I am interested in the design style.
>>11086524The pic?Armada
>>11086229He looks good, what size? Does his head change expression?
>>11086321I don't know how they could've fixed the beast shoulders, outside of making the robot mode waist split which probably would've compromised the robot mode.But they definitely should've redid the beast legs. Since they're the robot mode arms, they could've easily been redone so the legs had full articulation and just put the beast's feet at the ends of the arms, instead of the middle like they are now. I saw a custom someone did using Wolfwire's arms and it was so much better.
>>11086440What Brawl is this? God I love Bayverse, the only thing is that the designs become kinda illegible, like I can't distinguish his legs well and it feels like I'm having a stroke.
SS86 Prime transformationhttps://youtu.be/5HhsXhE7ZvY
>>11086045No Swindle?
>>11086535>They scaled 86 Magnus' cab to ER Prime when 86 Prime was on the wayWHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
>>11086200The alt mode sucks so much. They should’ve just copied what SS sideways did and changed the front of the vehicle into something more nondescript, yet still realistic
>>11086540it's actually an ingenious ploy to trick scale accuracy autists into buying Magnus again when they slightly upscale the mold for SS86 Magnus 2.0
>>11086540they look the same size to me. What am I missing?
>>11086542>studio series>not movie accurateKwab
>>11086323I’m not a fan of increasing the size of the backpack just for the sake of trying to get the front of the figure to look hyper realistic to the cartoon. Most of the mainline releases managed to keep it flat, rotb prime even compressed his into the upper torso so that it doesn’t mess with his silhouette. The backpack just makes me lose interest since prime’s transformation is supposed to be something more simple, and reminds of conparisons to “the hunchback of notre dame”, I prefer something more similar to mp-10, which is able to clean up nicely (even if its proportions/articulation may not be the best).
>>11086536>no neck >no wrist hinges>90 degree elbows>barely over 90 degree knees>no ab crunchWhat the actual fuck. This articulation is super outdated.
>>11086536looks interesting if a little fiddly. the back gap isn't as bad as it looked in the piano photo but that backpack is still rough. truck mode looks kinda off. I don't especially care about grabbing him but I'd probably pick up a recolor if it ditched the trailer.
>>11086560>ab crunchesAre for homosexuals
>>11086560>no neckneeded this, or at least more range on the ball joint. that head tilt up was pitiful>no wrist hingesif you futz with it really hard you can probably get a little bit, but yeah it needed some>90 degree elbowsinexcusable on any modern figure, especially one that's been in the works this long>barely over 90 degree kneesI'd say a little more than barely but still not impressive>no ab crunchthis shouldn't be surprising.I really hope at the knees and elbows are the demonstrator doing a poor job of articulating the figure
Someone say scale?
>>11086582kek
>>11086321>>11086339I felt the same about Fangry, not very good but charming in a way.I hope I feel the same way about Squeezeplay when I open him.
>>11086309>>11086323I don't like the compromises they had to make just to so that the figure can look more accurate to a flawed animation model from 40 year old cartoon. There have been other figures that perfectly capture the idea of G1 Optimus Prime while also updating and refining the design to make it coherent in toy version. Earthrise Optinus for example, has an objectively better headsculpt, cleaner transformation that doesn't have a huge backpack and even a painted matrix chamber unlike the new commander class Prime. I'm also against them pricing the new Prime as a commander considering the figure itself is barely any bigger than a voyager class and the trailer is just a big hollow box that does nothing and is somehow worse than Rodimus's trailer. It's a figure that looks worse and is more expensive which is why I just dislike it so much. You want a good commander class? There's Jetfire, Skylinx, Magmatron, Armada Optimus, Motornaster and even Ultra Magnus, all worth the commander price unlike this thing.
>>11086582>leader class toys in 2060
>>11086519>>11086521I wish they would reissue the SS of these guys
>>11086536looks interesting, will probably get him since I don't have a g1 optimus and being a complete commander class package seems more enticing than the ER mould.I do like his overall silhouette.
>>11086596shockwave reissue was leaked for next year
>>11086536I love the legs' engineering, but have a distaste for everything else (overcomplicated panel-y upper body, lame paint apps, inaccurate headsculpt, and poor articulation). It's G1 Optimus, I'll wait for another, or a retool. I wish they just slapped these legs onto MP10 and gave him a better head + bigger boobs, there we go, perfect G1 Optimus (imo).
>>11086521love shockwave but this soundwave sucks just as much, dude was taking orders from a human.
>>11086187>and the completely painted silver gunbuddies manage to look decent for fully immobile slabswhy can't they figure out to mould them in their colours? especially if theyre only going to be one colour.I liked the Needlenose mould but the targetmasters paint flaking off with each transformation left a sour taste in my mouth.
Was hoping for a similar situation with Transmetal 2 Megatron where I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed him, for Tigerhawk but he is just so limited.
>>11086612Hopefully he doesn't sell out instantly like last time...
>No wrist swivelswhat where they thinking?at least I got him on sale
>>11086231So they retconned a random truck as Sentinel Prime on Earth and running around while the Autobots woke up?
>>11085105This will never stop disappointing me, I love both of those designs so fucking much. I'm a sucker for bats and I need more.
10 hours to the fanstream. Hopes? Fears? Got a dream reveal?
>>11086656Beastwars Quick strike
>>11086614No? He was manipulating the human and stringing him along, the dude was just very cocky and misunderstood his place in the pecking order lmao.That said, his RotF satellite form is definitely his better one desu.
>>11086656CHUG RaidenCHUG LiokaiserSS86 Gun MegatronYes, I do live on another planet, how astute of you.
>>11086656I guess all I can expect from them is to recap the rest of the Mayhem wave, show the final SS wave, and update us on GodFire Convoy. Maybe the Skybound EU Jetfire and the RotF Anni multipack that got leaked if we're lucky.Personally, I just wanna see 2025's waves sooner than later. I'm really uninterested in the rest of Generations for this year, unless they pull out a cool exclusive outta nowhere, like a Powerlinx Armada Optimus. (Cryotek fucking when, seriously?)...even though most of 2025 doesn't interest me neither so far. Damn.
>>11086676>Cryotek fucking when, seriously?I still think the literal next wave refresh of TM2 Megatron flopping killed any chance of Cryotek in the eyes of the executives despite the toy being good and a ton of people wanting it.
>>11086682Did Habso kill their selects line?
>>11086672my curiosity over SS86 Megatron is driving me crazy. I know it'll be a massive fuckup.
Now that I got these niggas how do u get the e hobby minibots.
>>11086682Eh, I doubt that. Sounds too doomerish for me to believe. It's an easy repaint, they always make easy repaints for exclusive lines (except when they don't like for ER OP lawl).
>>11086693They literally just released the Go-Bots 3-pack in gen selects
>>11085312I'm SO CLOSE to finishing Road Cesar but the damn Red Knight figure is almost never on eBay and when it is, they want $400 for it. Fucking bullshit.>>11085678Drillbit wasn't a retool, he was a new mold entirely. They just copied the engineering.
>>11086705Since the photo is that, I think the person meant the original set. Which is crazy to aim for.
>>11086041He looks more like Bumblebee than the Netflix mold. That figure's chest is upside down, and oversized. This one has the proper beetle chest in the right size. The alt mode also looks pretty damn close to the Penny Racer Beetle, asie from the sharp angles on the front end for whatever reason. Everything tabs in on mine so I don't know what you're crying about. And not having the baby blue windows is a plus because they look ugly, and there is no way they could do blue windows anyway without making other parts of the figure's black plastic blue, like the shoulders, parts of the legs and the inner torso.
>>11086695If they did a gun megs again, there's just no getting around an orange tip in the US, but there are also some states and cities that have banned realistic toy guns all together. I'm not a business guy, but the research and logistics involved in navigating all of that red tape sounds like a nightmare and strikes me as probably more trouble than it's worth. Beyond that, there's the optics of producing a realistic toy gun which I think could be wildly unpopular and do damage to Hasbro's image.I know collectors like us would really like one, but it just doesn't seem realistic in this day and age. I think what might be our best bet is Takara designing and manufacturing one and the rest of us just importing it like we've done with their MP Megatron figures.
>>11086535I wonder how many guys can sit on top of OP's trailer.
>>11086656Nothing except SS wave 4, only hope is for One Megs since I like his design a bit scared of how the face will look. And Q&A to see how retarded they will be.
>>11086707>so close >theres only 3 figures>its 400I mean youre like 2/3 of the way, and $400, idk if “so close” are the words id use
>>11086716I think it could happen a-la "submarine" Shockwave, they just need to go harder on making the secret (but intended all along) gun mode not obvious to children and regulators; make him a laser turret or summin, but become a full gun if you snip a tab for transformation clearance, or remove some scifi details, or the like.Even if they don't do that though, I hate people who say his only other option is to be a tank, no matter how ill-fitting it is to his design. There ARE options beyond Gun, Tank, and VTOL Helicopter or Space Jet, you know. Unimaginative dumbasses
>>11086705Oh that was a selects? I can't keep up.couldn't they put Cryotek in Selects then?
>>11086695Make him a gun emplacement that can "secretly" turn into a walther.
>>11086731I don't think they could do it unless they changed all his colors too. I remember when they tried to reissue the Nerf gun Megs, even his original colors were suddenly unacceptable.I just do see how they could pull this off in the Studeio Series line whose entire point is supposed to be screen accuracy.
>>11086731Speaking from experience working in the video game industry, there is not allowed to be any “secrets” in video games anymore. Too much liability. Every facet of the game must be disclosed in the game design documentation that is provided to the industry (((authorities))). In todays day and age if you snuck something in a game and get caught your career would be over. I imagine a similar vibe for Hasbro employees so something like your idea of hiding a mode is likely getting really difficult to pull off. You need everyone on board.
>>110867302/3rds is most of the set. That is close to completion.>>11086731Shockwave doesn't even have a secret gun mode, his handle is too small to work. Plus he has an alien alt mode. Even his pusedo sorta gun mode isn't a realistic gun like Megatron. There's no getting around this and being "sneaky" about it.
>>11086743>Shockwave doesn't even have a secret gun mode, his handle is too small to workDespite it being a bit small for an adult hand its very, very clearly a gun handle. This is a rare and great example of an actual hidden mode. Cheat codes arent banned, you just have to have everyone on board
>>11085080Agree. I could get through the whole trailer but I'll probably download the movie and watch it, then shrug and say "it's was OK." At least it's a different take from previous movies.
>>11086738>I just don't see how they could pull this off in the Studio Seriesassuming they don't just say fuck it and put an inaccurate Megs in anyway, they could scrounge up some concept art so he technically fits, release him in Legacy like they did Gears, or least likely: they could give him a hidden gun mode with no official acknowledgement
>>11086743>Even his pusedo sorta gun mode isn't a realistic gun like Megatron. There's no getting around this and being "sneaky" about itBut this is a good point. If they “hide” a gun mode its not gonna look great unless his main alt mode is something very strange that just looks like a jumbled up gun. My idea would be a 4 legged walker tank mech.
What's a NON-TANK altmode that an 86 Megatron toy could feasibly transform into? there has to be enough room to fit all of his bot parts so a stationary howitzer probably wouldn't work.
>>11086738I really don’t see why this is a problem in America or Japan
>>11086758Jet
>>11086767Almost did in season 1
>>11086738This is unironically really fucking cool.
>>11086779how long has that image been floating around? I've only seen it in the past few months
>>11086779I really want this unironically
this tempts me.
>>11086803>get in loser, we're going shopping
>>11086803I told myself I'm not getting it until it's included in a sale. I'm not rewarding Hasbro for overpricing a leader with some accessories. If I was able to get Rodimus for 40% off, I can get Prime at a reduced price too. You're making it hard to stick to that.
>>11086816yeah but it's a Titanmaster party car.
>>11086758
SS 86 Megatron should turn into a truck.
>>11086751It's supposed to be SS. If it was Legacy, it wouldn't be an issue, they could make him anything they want.But this is supposed to be Megs from TF:TM. He's not gonna be a gun, so I'm curious as to what kind of bullshittery they'll pull.Probabaly just a Meg that changes from normal to battle damged. That is if they just don't shit out another version of the Earthrise mold.
>>11086823That looks cool but is there room for a movie-accurate Megatron botmode?
>>11086779SS is supposed to be the movie, not the series.
>>11086832SS is whatever Hasbro wants it to be
My comic edition Grimlock shipped
>>11086831We'll MAKE room.
>>11086835DAMN YOU HASBRO!
>>11086832SS86 Optimus got his axe that he used in a single episode and not once after - yes jumping to basing an altmode on a storyboard drawing for the series from a single accessory is extreme, I don't think Hasbro gives a fuck though. Because whatever Megs alt is going to be it isn't a gun.
>>11086843I hate that you're right.
>>11086843>Transforms into Megatron giving you the finger.
>>11086816Its optimus, you’re not getting it on sale due to the character popularity.
>>11086803Recreate the scene from zoolander
>>11086845>>11086846Sorry bros, it just is what it is
>>11086863Those two in Legacy when, and will they even get cool molds?
>>11086870Later. No.
>>11086870here's your starscream bro
>>11086798Past few weeks*, it went live since last month at best
>>11086393So where does his Browning gun come in? I have this guy and I think it's funny he has that as his weapon.
>>11086909https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Browning
>>11086905how convenient...
>>11086892Cursed but weirdly plausible.
>SS86 Prime transformation.Does that count as a shell former?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFxrRHu66Z0
>>11086848They might not put him specifically on sale, but I got Rodimus on a Pulse sale that was "any order over $70 is 40% off" or something like that, and Optimus could fall under one of those.
Ss86 Prime has hard tires. It's nice that we finally have some confirmation.
According to the ML panel, Death's Head will be available later in August
>>11086979I was going to ask the same thing, the truck cab is like a shell and it all folds in the back. It reminds me of the old AoE Galvatron
>>11087086Fuck, why the wait?
>>11087097I'll need to go back and check but I think they said he'd be available via fanchannel, so he'd see wider release than just pulse. Don't quote me on that, though.
>>11087097>>11087104stream I'm watching is low quality so I missed it, but from another guy's pics, he's going online August 5th at 7:00pm EST
>>11087104>>11087114Well, good to know its not just Pulse, at least.
>>11087114>fan channelOkay I might get him if I see him then
>Amazon finally ships my Springer and Swoop. One arrives next week, the other in mid fucking August.Both are coming from Florida so no clue what they fucked up.
>>11086712That's pure cope
Is it safe to assume we're not getting any more BWVS-## releases in Japan? I want to buy some beast wards units I'm missing, but it's going to piss me off (again) if I see it get a BWVS release which will invariably look much better or even come with extras like the Inferno one.
he crossed over with Transformers in the IDW days so he's technically on--topic ROM! FUCK YEAH, ROM!
>>11087104What the fuck is fan channel
>>11087224Fuck yeah
>>11087227Apparently it just means any website that sells Hasbro stuff. BBTS, Entertainment Earth, etc.
>>11087219Is there even any more figures they could do it with? Tigerhawk and TM2 megs, I guess?
>>11087224Oh fuck yes and holy shit. Bought as soon as possible.
>>11087227Basically the same distribution as Gen Selects
Marvel Legends are now introducing figures using the Bandai made-to-order model; >>11087191No crowdfunding, they just make as many as are ordered. This is intended for characters who are large, but not Haslabg large. Are there any Transformers you'd like to see made through this system?
>>11086582If they ever happens I would throw the box away with the figure in it.
>>11087252Beast Wars Mutants. Or Transmetal 2s.
>>11087252>Are there any Transformers you'd like to see made through this system?Basically all of them. In my mind's eye I see figures no longer constricted by brick and mortar size classes or wave count. Maybe doing away with waves all togetherBut that's pie in the sky dreaming
>>11087252Dunno. How is the pricing? The Haslabs in Transformers have been one/two big guys instead of something like a big-ass car.
>>11087224Also, I don't suppose he comes with the scanner, does he?
>>11087252How would they do that when TFs use injection molds?>oh man guys, we got an order for Metroplex>time to fire up the mass production assembly line for this ONE person>whoops i can only make it in batches of 100 silly me ;)
>>11087272>preorder window opens>preorder window closes
>>11087271they said they wanted to get everything in there because they knew this was gonna be their only chance to do him, and also mentioned that there'd be a lot going on with his eyes and implied he'd have alternate expressions, so I'm pretty sure that he has other accessories not pictured– likely including the scanner
>>11087287He only needs two, the gun and the scanner. His universal translator is built in.
>>11087277I would I need to pre-order if it's made to order? You don't pre-order a burger at a fast food window.
>>11087252Would be perfect for stuff like Broadside and other characters that would need Commander size class to be done properly.
>>11087293Burgers don't have limited runs numbskull.
>>11085920It's going to make a great Cliffjumper with a new head and toes.
>>11087293It's easy to see you don't have much experience buying imports>You don't pre-order a burger at a fast food window.Not yet you don't, comrade
>>11087291I'm hoping he comes with some fx parts as well
>>11087252This could be good for those who want a big Torca.
>>11087306Seems likely. Probably for his eyes. Hasbro loves those things.
>>11087293Made-to-order as in they're only making at many as there are orders during the limited order window, not in that they're making them individually whenever someone orders one at any time. I honestly don't understand how, for them, this is any different than a HasLab, because I thought they only made as many HasLab figures as were ordered during the backing period.
>>11087293It's not difficult a concept to understand>preorder window opens>customers place orders and pay upfront>preorder window closes>company uses money to produce the ordered quantity of toys>customers receive toy
>>11087333Seems like HasLab, but more frequent. And probably smaller scale.
>>11087252I can't think of any that wouldn't fit in the already existing commander class.
>>11087376You can pay $150 for something that would be sold in stores for $90! Think of the potential!
>>11087376Can you think of any that wouldn't make the cut for the two designated Commander slots per year?
>>11087388Thunderwing.
Guess I need more.
brigaded by the feeble autobots again, simply for deliberately provoking them with insults and attacks
>>11087406that just leaves all of the old ones to buy next
>>11086823this makes sense to me since G1 Megs' extra parts could transform into a "laser cannon"
>>11087252Maybe they could do this to release combiners all in one pack instead of needing to devote 5 to 6 mainline slots.Especially japanese combiners.
>>11087252This could be a good way to keep a lot of the "definitive" figures in circulation, sort of like how they've reissued Siege Jetfire twice and now Earthrise and Armada Optimus
>>11087459That's antithetical to how this sort of business model works, it's about limited production runs for items, not keeping items available indefinitely.
>>11087464Guess I misinterpreted it, my bad.If this is how we get a new PMOP or Armada Jetfire then I'm all in.
>>11087470>Armada JetfireOoh, yes please. And Overload.
Panel when?
>>11087559Cancelled
>>110875592-3 hours
>>11086524megatron from armada.I highly recomend the japanese version (legend of the microns). armada was okay, but they used unfinished animation and overall didnt do it justice. imo legend of the microns is the best transformers series and I will not pretend otherwise.
>>11086707>Drillbit wasn't a retool, he was a new mold entirely. They just copied the engineering.youre right. but what Im getting at here is if they made new ones today they can easily work as retools. but they missed this oppourtunity.
>>11086036>mfw still no minicon for starscream
Man I want some Minicons.
>>11087582>>11087585We shouldn't've passed on those micromasters
>>11087589They shouldn't have sucked so hard
>>11086542it's not just the alt mode, the robot mode is really clunky too. It's just... weird.
>>11087593YOU suck so hard
>>11087589>weSpeak for yourself
>>11087589Blame hasbro's crappy distribution because in my country there's fuck all transformers stuff on shelves.
>>11087589I bought a bunch but the shelves were overflowing with them.
>>11087589inb4 made-to-order minicons
>>11087668While that would be terrible, it would be cool to see them tackle the minicon teams that combine into something. I don't want to have to rely on thirdparty for a decent star saber
>>11087589I bought em all, like a true autist
>>11087252I'm imagining where this could really benefit TFs would be for characters that require more specialized molds that couldn't really be reused, or wiping out teams that might not be viable at retail.Imagine a 3-pack of the Omnibots or the Autobot double targetmasters.
>>11087589If any of the WFC micromasters were as good as the new Jolt is, I would have bought more but unfortunately they were mostly boring or just outright sucked with a few exceptions
>>11087627>>11087653You have shelves? All we have here is two Walgreens and a CVS.
>>11087252So P-Bandai but Hasbro? I'm fine with that, as long as it produces toys that Hasbro fears will sell at a loss for whatever reason but is not big enough to make it a Haslab. In an ideal world this would be where we get repaints and minor retooled toys while the retail shelf is mostly new and original molds but I doubt Hasbro would go that far. At the very least it'll be slightly more accessible than P-Bandai.
>>11087691Most of them were worse than the G1 versions.
Dude when does Straxus come out? Feels like it's been forever.
>>11087713
>>11087694Well we have shelves here but they don't have any transformers stuff which is my complaint
>>11087713>>11087719>actually changing the character's colors to match the vehicleWho is this and what have they done with the actual GI Joe team
>>11087714yeah, having fancy shmancy balljointed hips and separate legs and all that doesn't really amount to much when most of the figures can't even stand on their own two feet. Bombshock and Growl were inexcusably shitty in that regard. Also doesn't help that almost all of them were CW-tier shared engineering or transformed so similarly they might as well have been.. The original Micromasters weren't exactly the most exciting or diverse bunch but they could have at least bothered to do some of the more interesting ones instead of just spamming the same basic carbot template over and over
Fanstream now?
SDCC stream in 2 minuteshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igLCLYjKqh4
>the new gen bumblebee leak was just a reactivate re-releaseKEKAROO
TFOne Megs looks okay
>>11087802His cannon is on the wrong side.
>>11087807southpaw
this is making me miss the usual fanstream guys, whoever this guy is, he's a charisma vacuum
But I don't want a Bludgeon, I just want Rukus.
Bludgeon and Ruckus are the last of the set? No octopunch?
>>11087823Fuck.>Knight RiderNice.
HE'S WEARING FUCKING JEANS HAHAHAHAHA
>>11087829who the fuck even likes knight rider?
>The cooler Windcharger
Tarn was hard to find?
Holy shit, will we ever get a Decepticon out of these licensed collaborations? Sick of these Autobot defaults.
>reissue>reissue>reissue>reissue>reissueare they going to show us a single new legacy figure?
>>11087839Like with everything else in life, I blame WalMart.
>end on repaint of shelfwarmerwhat a fucking joke
>>11087839Three are new recolors.
>>11087837>protagonist vehicles become good guy transformerswow who could have foreseen that
>>11087837Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Jurassic Park dinosaurs are it I think.
Armada Wheeljack isn't coming with his minicon, is he?
What panel are they talking about, and if this wasn't the panel then why even bother? Also if these are just reissues why would they 'pipeline' them, just show the same images from however many years back.
>>11087847And BISON!
>>11087829So, Omnibots coming soon?
>>11087839Here's your NEW legacy shelfwarmer figure
>>11087775>>11087814Agreed, this was brisk and bland, a terrible combo
Knight Rider and Dinoking were cool. Everything else sucked.
announced reissues for cosmos, ufo bee, tarn, and galaxy shuttle
>>11087853The hell is this? I was at work and missed the stream.
>>11087861Blitzwing Mass Production type (Overcharge)
>>11087861Overcharge, Blitzwing redeco.
>>11087853maybe, it is the diaclone colors
Also, Peter Cullen voiced KITT's evil twin in one episode of Knight Rider.So...theres that.
>>11087862>>11087863I fuck with it. Blue and green are my favorite.
>>11087837I heard that knight rider had a bad guy counterpart voiced by Peter Cullen, so guess they will make that one out of the same mold later.
>>11087862So its an Army builder. That seems plausible for once, with how bad Blitz shelfwarmed.
>Sureshot nowhere to be seenIt's GI Joever
>>11087849Right now. Just started.
>>11087713I like that using the hood of the Triple T actually mimics Kup's chest profile where his truck hood would be.
EVERYONE ACT SURPRISED!!!
>>11087832Me>>11087829He looks awesome
>>11087879How come everyone hated CW Dev, anyway?
>>11087882Extremely limited joints on the components.
>>11087829>working lightbar>voice lines>licensed Pontiac Trans AmI will now buy your $50 deluxe.
Happy with the Cosmos and Galaxy Shuttle reissue even though we knew this was happening.
They confirmed SS86 Devastator will be complete within next year. So that confirms the next Commander is a Long Haul + Hook two pack.
>>11087882The components sucked and honestly the final result wasn't that good eitherTakara really tried to fix it but you can only do so much with something inherently flawed
>>11087891But then where do you get Silverbolt?
>>11087882Some didn't like that he was too big
>>11087879I thought this was 2025
>>11087896In the Age of the Primes line that's replacing Legacy or whatever the fuck it's called.
>>11087886>>11087894I didn't mind the components, but yeah, the combined legs were kinda flimsy. Maybe I'll splurge for this one if it gets a box set.>>11087897That was the point!
>>11087896The Aerialbot? Haven't we been getting two commanders a year now?
>>11087882Sideways elbows action.
Hey, if Core Class is ending, does that mean we'll only get BB Starscream? No TC or SW?
>>11087882>Pointlessly oversized>Horrendous articulation on the robots only mildly improved by the Takara release>Weird gestalt proportions>Mixmaster done completely differently for no reason>Hollow and thin feeling partsJust a generally disappointing figure.
>>11087909Amazon exclusive two pack, probably.
>>11087901I thought his size was fine but others didn't. Wasn't he was released around the time Devastation came out? He was huge in that and was awesome.
>>11087829Agent Knight?why not just KITT?
>>11087924So is that literally the only new mold of the panel/stream or what?
>>11087832everyone does
>>11087924>>11087931And the Kitt one
>>11087931There is also the first Transformer in years to have working lights
>>11087829Please tell me that thing under the hood is removable, because lights and sounds aren't worth completely fucking up the front end of the car. I've been wishing for KITT since Ectotron, so this is a massive fucking monkey's paw.
>>11087912like the new one won't be as bad.
>>11087931>>11087933and SS TFOne Megs is new too, ain't he?
>>11087934Eh, I think a few of those huge gimmicky live action Bumblebees have had lights and sounds.
>>11087938I'll probably get this just have a permanent Jet Optimus and I never got the sisters.
>>11087879Call it: which Constructicon will have shit distribution a la G1 Breakdown?
>>11087945I did. And the Optimus with the trailer/weapons platform, which is basically the same thing. I'm not spending however much this is just for Jetfire.
>>11087853It's insane how Blitzwing an Galvatrons have not been pushed to ROSS. Red Dragon TM2 Megs was already sent there and it was a pretty popular fig.
>>11087929Maybe he's a just Cybertronian who just watched too much TV.
>>11087955HES NOT THE REAL KNIGHT RIDER?!!!!
>>11087938I might get it when it inevitably hits sale price on Amazon, but sell the Optimus lol. Studio Series Optimus is... really bad. Really needs a 3.0.>>11087957Of course not. He is a toy :)
>>11087957If you want him to be, go nuts. We're not gonna get any comic or anything to tell us.
>Warden back>Mark goneUhhhh based?
Is the panel still going? Or did they just say "we're doing Devastator in SS86" and that's it?
When are we getting our Playboy crossover?
>>11087975What kind of vehicle would be suitable? SS86Arcee repaint with a new head sounds like it wouldn't sell that much.
>>11087931There was WfC Ratchet too. I thought he looked pretty cool. Definitely not as bad as earlier WfC figures, at least.
>>11087977Stampy from Beast Wars Neo.
>>11087980He has a dick...
>>11087975far left for me
>>11087977Bunnybot
>>11087959I somewhat agree about Optimus. The legs need reworking to get rid of that no moving red brick on the sides. The figure also is just to small.
>>11087982yes, and?
>>11087982>>11087990
>>11087975Velocitron Speedia 500
>>11087986All that and, his upper body is very bulky and boxy, and his truck mode is completely deplorable. I HATE that thing.The Battle Blades Optimus did it best, and would just need to crib even more engineering from the RotF Leader for stuff like the feet.
looks better than the Megatron in the trailers, but that's not saying much
>>11087978Damn this looks good actuallyWhat all was shown off and pics? I don't wanna have to search and skim Twitter posts
>>11087993I remember reading Willis and his buddies sperging about this
>>11088002https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/07/26/transformers-sdcc-2024-brand-panel-fanstream-images-info-reveals-517036
>>11087993cute
>>11087978Could it be? The first good gamer edition figure...
So, uh...is the panel over?
>>11087996I kind of like it, just wish he was painted silver
>>11088031Sideswipe was decent if you could look past the feet desu. And Optimus, of course.But yeah, I'm glad at least that the guys who didn't get proper figures a decade ago (Sideswipe and Ratchet/Ironhide) are the ones getting decent figures today. ..W-Well, if you ignore Barricade and the Decepticon Trooper... dang.
>>11088031Sideswipe was a like %90 good except those feet
>>11087996>looks better than the Megatron in the trailersno he doesn't
>>11088158yuh huh
>>11088033there was a panel?any beast wars reveals?
>>11087252I'd really want Haslab reprints (primarily Victory Saber, or an improved version thereof), and also figures too expensive for Leader but too cheap for Commander - $60-$75 range figures. Most recent Commanders would actually fit under that definition p well..
>>11088177Mate, he’s a dull beige with proportions of gondola
>>11088193
Tentative update to the paste bin>Upcoming Transformershttps://pastebin.com/Nb5ENLz1I'll dot in other stuff like Night Rider and the SS Autobot multipack once they have preorder dates
>>11087938wonder what's going to be the dark of the moon 15 anniversary pack. I can see it being just jetwing optimus, sentinel and megs.
>>11088201I think he's neat
>>11087853>>11087863I think it's stupid that they're doing an obscure redeco of a figure that shelfwarmed hard, but if they ditch the stupid hands and knock the price down a bit I could see myself picking him up
>>11088248>inb4 Hatchet
>>11088251Ditch the hands might happen, but no way in fuck for knock price down outside retailers selling things for lower than MSRP.
>>11088254>ditching the hands but keeping the same priceAt least give him another weapon or something
anyone else having a weird thing in only this thread, where the thread stays at the bottom of the screen even as new posts appear... instead of staying right where it was and then you can scroll down to see what you've missed
>>11088269Does the url end with bottom? You might have clicked on that. Try clicking on one of the red-colored links.
>>11088277it seems to be normal after I refreshed. but I will keep an eye on the url next time because damn if I don't click things by accident all the time.
>>11087832me, absolutely no one likes you though
TF:One needed a battlemaster line like ROTB.
>>11087589Sez you, I bought two of the jet dudes just to have a Starsaber-ish combo before grabbing the 12-pack of micro masters to do a Starmon Sword combo. Also bought two of each ramp guy, and of each zoo weapon.
>>11088287holy shit who are these guys. are those b-daman or bakugan or something
>>11088296NTA but they look like the latest generation of bakugan
>>11088251>I think it's stupid that they're doing an obscure redeco of a figure that shelfwarmed hard,Blitzwing is very much in the same boat as Transmetal II Megatron where everyone who wanted him, got him with plenty to spare with his immediate package refresh.What we really should've got was Overcharge and Cryotek back then instead of those PRs
>>11088251Ditching the hands isn't gonna save those dogshit alt modes, unfortunatelyReally sucks cause this is the only blitzwing in recent memory actually doing the diaclone deco
>>11088313i likes em. particularly that spoodler. I'd buy that for up to twelve dorra.the... lobster? behind the t-rex is also intriguing me. and the rex is good but he's got similar proportions to legacy Landsaur lol
>>11088345silly you are not an eggu
>>11087832>he dosent like Knight Rider >tell me youre a zoomer without telling meIts the first show I watched as a child with my grandfather. Now the General Lee needs to get un-cancelled
>>11087829pretty fuckin rad>>11088380I mean.. i think 90s kids don't .. LIKE the show, more that we like, respect it and think that's a cool car and his scanning red light is cool. and the theme song is excellent. but to sit and watch it would be a snore.anyway NIGHTBOAT when
>>11088386I liked the remake
>>11088385>BOATlmao
>>11088388it was a simpsons bitit actually might have been Knight Boat, i'm not sure how on the nose they were with it.
>just realized Agent Kinght’s alt mode doesn’t have Super ModeWtf. This should not have been difficult at all for a company that makes transforming toys.
>>11088393The super mode is the robot mode
>>11088396Leaving this out is a major fail
>>11088393>>11088396>>11088398You sure?It's clearly an Omnibot
>>11088398I bet the designers didnt even watch enough of the show to know this existed. It just feels so forgotten, considering how simple it seems like it wouldve been to include.
>>11088391Ones that actually existed in-universe like the family sedan seem more likely
>>11088398Tbh I don't really care about the super mode, the car itself looks great
KARR repaint when?
>>11088402It looks pretty aight. My first thought after my initial excitement was “when Windcharger”? But I sure dont think we are getting him from this mold.
>>11088407Presumably announced after people have the first one. Jurassic Park and Universal Monsters had a 2-year gap.
>>11088398aw man this is way cool. i can't tell what it is exactly, side panels opening up for more air intake, and the front sorta moving? and an extra spoiler on the bottom...
>>11088401no i meannightboat was a gag they did on the simpsons. cripes.>>11088416i am still eagerly awaiting six or seven more jurassic park ones.
>>11088424Speaking of the Simpsons, here's your future collab
>>11088428it'd be hard as balls to resist that. and i've resisted a lot of cool crossovers so far.
I'm glad I didn't stay until 2 fucking AM for the stream. Holy shit, the "pipeline reveals" were just a bunch of PR plus Overcharge. Nothing really for me to get excited for, wanted the rest of the triggercons but Ruckus and his stilettos killed that.
I just want cryotekand quickstrikeand every other possible beast guy we haven't gotten yet. is that so much to ask?
>>11088447>He doesn't want his Deceptimooks to SLAYY while they slay Autobotsngmi.>>11088448I just want Super Link figures period. And Car Robots & Animated toys that actually look like their respective designs. So by these standards, apparently yes. Have another G1 derivative with slightly more or less greebling thx
Wait, were getting a retail single release of Reactivate Bee? Why?
>>11087853>not even a retooled head >packed with what will be a high demand figure>and their are rumors he will be refreshed in the prime series line of 2025This mold has shelf warmed for four years already, this will likely push it into a decade of always being on shelves
Does anyone else hate 2-packs? I specially abhor ones with fossilizers because I want the bones but not the car.
>>110884732-packs no because as a burger they always go well below the price of a deluxe eventually. I just set the honey app on it and wait for the alert that the listing is under 50% / 70% and then buy it. Now 3 or more packs it can get frustrating because it leads into a mess of being worth it even if deep clearance.
>>11088428They have said the white rock car is planned for something not rock related
>>11088296mix of Targetmasters, RID15 minicons and bakugan>>11088372>>11088313Crab and not-Terrosaur here are Gen 3, you can tell because they split into interchangeable halves. The other Bakugan are Gen 2. Scorpion is an RID15 flying puck. Getting close to a full BW predacon cast if I can find a mini-Quickstrike...
>>11088473The opposite, I want G2 Leadfoot but I have more than enough fossilizers that paying for one more is holding me back from getting the whole set.
>>11087829>>11087935I like his little flip up headlights. Also his wrist watch.
Haven't seen it said yet so I'll do itMost of the preorders for everything shown go live on TuesdayPick related, the other Studio Series stuff, Night Rider, Kup etc
Feels really weird that Marvel Legends, with Death's Head and now ROM unveiled, is doing more for me as a TF fan to get me hyped, than the actual Transformers reveals this week. Yeah they said there might be more news later, we'll see.Maybe it's just cuz TF listings have been leaked to hell and back already, so those two are bigger surprises to me? I dunno, Legacy and SS seem to be ending the year with a couple decent figures, surrounded by a miasma of "blah". Nothing I'm SUPER excited about, just "oh ok neat" at best or "this mold/repaint's kinda lame" at average.
>>11088527>6.5 inches That puts him at Masterpiece Carbot scale.
>>11087947It won't be Bonecrusher or Scavenger. Any of the other 4 are in contention.>but why?Because you can cope and build a Devastator with a missing arm if need be. You can't very well do that with a missing torso or leg.This WILL be out of spite, and it's not in your head.
>>11088533Shame he's not chug like Gigawatt or the JPs but he should pair well with Ectotron
