I'm not particularly wowed by F tier effort. Don't try to sell me on some 7 in 1 with lazy gimmicks like that.
I expect more when the combiner is more kibble that robot

Yes.

>>11138405
Do you also have a problem with weapon storage?
>>
>>11138409
It depends.
Though I don't think I can convince you if you consider a combiner component as weapon storage, especially when it was touted as a 7 in 1 thing.
>>
>>11138420
No, it wasn’t toured as 7 in 1
It was touted as death cobra arm replacement and then a bonus mode was announced a few days ago
>>
>>11138405
>>11138420
I think his point is, would you rather it just not have a seven member mode at all? Because there is no precedent for them to do one in the first place. Liokaiser never had one. Cobra could have just been an arm option and only that. This seven part mode is just a bonus, a silly thing you can do if you decide to get all seven figures. It isn't the main point of the combiner. It was never advertised as the main point. You're genuinely complaining that a silly bonus feature isn't this amazing thing that had a ton of effort put into it.
>>

I won't be able to see anything of it but the nosecone for most of the time it's on there.

And the vehicle is lazily done for the bonus mode.
You're not convincing me of anything, go ahead and call me an ignorant idiot if you want. You're putting way too much stock on my opinion that's not going to change.

Is this as big as the original Jetfire figure? If nothing comes of that Macross x Transformers thing this is probably my best option.
>>
>>11138801
A bit smaller, the original was a 1/55, this is a 1/60. No one makes modern 1/55 macross stuff though so if you want a bigger jetfire than this you'd have to wait for someone to KO bandai's 1/48.

It's less that the legs are stumpy, and more that the thickness of them is wrong, and the feet are a bit long.
Unfortunately, I figure that it's designed that way for reasons of stability.

its not the thickness, bulkiness is fine (the other metroplex's have it too but look fine). Its that they made the thighs way too short & the giant kneepads way too big.then the leg below the knee way too short. It looks retarded.

heres a terrible quick & dirty photoshop of the legs from the Siyang metroplex on this things torso. It would have looked fine if they had given it proportions like the siyang.
>>
>>11139647
>>11139672
>>11139715
I personally don't mind the thicc legs. I'm even fine with the swollen feet. Titans Return Metroplex was criticized for the spindly thighs. That and, I figure there's structural reasons for having a bigger/thicc-er base.

I can see your gripe with it, the kneepads are certainly too big. I don't think the shins are too short, it's simply that the kneepads are so gargantuan.

Could it look better? Sure. Does he look like a robo-dwarf with a pinhead? Yes. Is it still SO bad that it overshadows the main gimmick of being 4 feet tall and at a surprisingly affordable price? I'd say... no.

If this were a Deluxe, I'd say the big legs were unforgivable. But if the Deluxe was Battletrap, I'd say the big legs are an acceptable sacrifice for the gimmick. It's just a matter of context, compromises, pros and cons, and I think the pros still outweigh the cons.

I had very low expectations for it to begin with. I was expecting a scaled up Titans Return Metroplex with no functional articulation of any sort.

Says his current plan is to bundle the Weapons with Deluxe Insections as a bonus

Why do this?
Just do a triple pack of the bugs, cmon man
>>
>>11139871
Because he knows people will pay for three separate packs to get them anyway. The datsun mold is easy repaint fodder so they're cheaper to produce than the insecticons who aren't as repaint friendly. By packaging each insecticon with a datsun bro, he can effectively help offset the costs of the insecticon molds by forcing people to triple dip on the datsun mold since it forces them to buy all three datsuns to get all three insecticons (and forces people to buy all three insecticons if they want all of the datsun bros) and maximizes his profit overall.


I don't know what Dr. Wu's profit margins look like to say if this is out of greed or out of necessity but either way, it's smart from a business standpoint, even though we as customers may not really like it as a practice.

>>11138436
Not the same anon, but, I'm going to suggest you something unheard before. How about, not combining the 7th member? Or not buy it at all? Unreal right?

I swear I don't get guys like you or the ones that though that the Newage Dinobots were amazing but will be ruined if it turns out that there will be a 6th dinobot that allows them to combine. Does someone goes to your houses with a gun and forces you to buy and combine the optional stuff? What exactly is stopping you from buying what you like and ignore the rest?

I also collect Evas but the moment Rebuild went to shit with 3 and 4 I couldn't give a shit about the new horrible designs they were pushing aside from Eva 13 that looks amazing. There is simply no way you'll find me buying any version of Mari's Evas except for the 4D Eva 04 which look awesome and if the ever do a Wolfpack from Anima. Unthinkable right? I collected what i like and I ignored what I dislike/didn't cared.

most of them are exclusive to taobao shops and he's hesitant to do more, guy pls read.
>>
>>11141006
Majority are on ShowZ, TFSafari and others like Aliexpress
What SG Releases are limited?
>>
>>11141019
Taobao exclusivity doesn't apply to overseas shops, but to answer your question SG Goldbug (and translucent Cyclonus pack) was one such custom order by a TB shop. SG Blaster vs Wave was supposedly ordered by Uncle Billy shop but not made exclusive. The rest of the special orders (by various TB shops) are the gold decos and that one non-battle damage soundwave vs blaster.

That's besides the point though because every time he's asked about SG repaints in weibo comments, he replies that he'll unlikely do them because they are not that popular.

Overall, 8/10.

Most of the problems I have are carried over from the Arcadia mold like the several instances of parts forming and the mildly delicate shoulder hinges. All of the joint tolerances are good but I found the hip joints to be a little too tight. I fixed this by putting a microscopic amount of silicon grease inside the ball joint. That fixed it perfectly. Some of the tabs to install the super armor our little scary but it's not too bad. If you're careful it should be fine. I didn't have any breakage issues but I noticed on one of the instructional videos I watched, the hinge for the afterburner flat pet broken off. The guy didn't even say anything about it. Just acted like it was nothing. The robot mode is rather fun to pose and handle and the jet mode displays wonderfully. I really can't recommend this piece highly enough. It's exactly what I wanted when I pre-ordered the kitzconcept God of Flame figure.

Most of the smaller legends sized or smaller options are decent and you have your pick of white-prime-in-armor or all-in-one style. The two MP scale offerings are XTB's or FM's upcoming one.

If you don't want G1, Iron Factory made giganigga IDW Magnus in legends scale and Planet X made an armor up one out of their FoC Prime.

Fanstoys Cyclonus is nice and I think ShowZ has it in stock.
MMC Springer is considered the best but XTB does have one, but there are issues about it and I'm not sure how easy it is to fix that these days.
And I own the Fanstoys Galvatron but I think it's a stupid painted metal brick of junk. I think the XTB looks way better but only time will tell if the build is good as it looks.

XTB's Cyclonus pairs really well if you want some mass. I still prefer XTBs Springer even with its toon accuracy because he genuinly looks good. FT is your only real choice atm & hes fine.

Unfortunately most things Micromaster-related is a pipe dream because everything Victory and beyond were immensely unpopular within Mainland China.

I don't think people are going to want an Optimus when two options exist in CHUG.
The promotion of this thing is entirely because Hastak is forced to make a tank for USA laws. The NA fills a very needed aspect that people want, unlike Optimus since both his options turn into a red truck.

Also, I hope ThreeZero's Robotech line is successful enough to make some Mospeada Legios'. Sentinel's offerings were fine but they were way too small and fiddly.

I'm honestly fine with the scale thing because I'm sticking with my ER Optimus, I customized it too much to trade up for the SS86 one.

Ok, so this guy's apparently getting a reissue. Never owned a Trypticon before (official or otherwise), and while he doesn't necessarily look like the traditional version of the dude, I think he looks cool enough to go after.
My question, though, is: is he worth the money? I have no experience with the mold or Planet X in general, and I see no size measurements on his BBTS listing (just a note that he's apparently two separate things that combine into his Kaiju form?). So is he worth $299, or should I just keep my fingers crossed and hope for something better to come along?
>>
>>11156177
Exactly how many 3rd Party G1 Optimus figures have been made at CHUG scale, which these brand loyalists you speak of have passed up in recent years?
I literally only know of that IDW one and iirc it was a tiny-panel mess not designed for the scale at all.

I remember this guy going on sale for like $150 at one point. I was so close to getting it, but it's fucking huge, and I still don't have the space for it. I don't know if I'd say it's worth $300, but from what I've seen, it's a very good figure.

I own him and their Omega Supreme. He can pull off some poses you think he shouldn't and his beef makes him an absolute menace on a shelf. His space ship alt mode really needs a flight stand to actually work, but the "space station" mode can be used as a tower orr backdrop for other figures.

I wish he was painted more or at least had some better color breakup as the purple bits get lost in a sea of dark plastic. The light up gimmick that makes the detail shine is a real pain in the ass to use and only meant for making cool photos. The arms/hands come together in a wonky way that doesn't quite lock in and makes posing them a bit awkward. Ultimately I wanted him to be a little taller as he's more wide big than tall big. Even anything bigger htan legends scale he's not large enough to be a city bot. As is he's more of a big bruiser.

Comparatively to Omega supreme I think he was a bit of a letdown since Genesis in hand felt a lot more impressive imo. For MSRP, you could do a lot worse but I would recommend him on a sale.

I've seen people get mad at the Bumblebee opening because it's all anyone talks about.
Like, no shit? It's the one snippet in 7 movies that resembles what people wanted
>>
>>11157127
Exactly! They get so mad that people liked it more than the scrapheap designs. The big reason, I think, is that they (and Bay himself) spent YEARS saying that Transformers designs that look like they're supposed to "wouldn't work in CG" but then there they are on screen, so everyone that said that has egg on their faces.
>>
>>11151545
>The Terrorcons all hate or resent each other, why would they have a cohesive color scheme?
I'm pretty sure they get along rather well - or more like they're the only ones who can tolerate each other. They're also all deathly loyal to Hun-Gurr (and ONLY Hun-Gurr) for some reason.

The whole film is just a mess of writer's room ideas. They learned nothing from TLK

I mostly just hate lazy cybertronian designs. They didn't actually need to look like they should turn into anything, they just looked like vague g1 caricatures and did nothing of value except say le words for geewunners to clap at. It's a total waste of effort.
You can even see how both hasbro and 3p struggle to give them alt modes that actually fucking look like anything. God, I fucking hate cybertronian modes
>>

Braindead take. Just because Bayshit is different doesn't make it good. The characters are supposed to look like themselves. Why make a Transformers movie at all if you don't want to put Transformers characters in it?

God I hate this fandom. Can't you give it a rest, for like, a month? I'd appreciate some peace and quiet.

>>11157256
Which version of Transformers looks like Bayshit, again? The Bay aesthetic is nothing like Transformers. It's "generic space scrapheap" made for dummies who get confused when robots. It's the same as people who make superhero movies but without the superheroes "because it's more realisticer"
>>
>>11156878
Bumblebee was a great movie in general. Honestly the opening, cool though it was, benefitted from not overstaying its welcome.
>>11157130
>>11157262
The One designs would have looked terrible alongside live-action. They look fine in an animated film but realistic they ain't. Put the One designs next to a real person and it'd be majorly uncanny.
>B-B-But muh boxmen
Would look terrible on the big screen. Even One had to stylize things a bit to not look like crap.

They're not boxmen though, they have actual detail and shape to them beyond "rectangle". Hell, I've seen people bitch that the Bumblebee designs are still "just dumb scrap metal not muh geewun".

They share a bunch of design motifs, the Decepticons in particular.
ROTF Megatron even has the visible robot head in alt mode.

I got my Iron Factory Leozack in today, and for my first Legend scale dude he's absolutely fantastic, all the articulation I could want on a little dude and a fun little transformation.

You think that version of the Train combiner by the Metroplex guys will have the extra guys for the Toy version combination? The Takara one looks way better that way, and that toy look is the main reason I even want it.

>>11158784
Main advantage is no need to clean up brushes.
The markers also have little to no odor compared to bottled versions of the same oil-based paint.

You shouldn't get those fine tipped, lining-use ones in your pic. They have the usual soft-tipped ones for filling in large areas.

For >>11158445 you can also consider using reflective tape under the clear red plastic. It's Also available at most gunpla supply shops.

Yeah she's a shellformer but she wears the shell well (a cute little bustle and wings) Other than that she feels like a high end action figure with no compromises on articulation. I think they're the best of the third party fembots (second place is probably the Erises just due to being solid transformers too)

Most TF based coomer bots so far just shell form around a frame and let the alt mode shit hang off the body and pop off. It's been completely disappointing.

>>11160616

That is definitely mistransformed but it's a shame they could not get arm mode symmetry. They got it right with the Bruticus arm bots and First Aid.

>>
>>11161717
Bay shit barely looked like characters at all, much less like the ones they're supposed to, and you're fucking delusional or trolling if you say otherwise. Bayshit was made by people embarrassed to be making a Transformers product.
>>
>>11161724
>much less like the ones they're supposed to
Neither did armada, or energon, or cybertron, or animated, or prime, or pretty much any fucking media that wasn't the actual G1 toon
This means absolutely nothing, these characters have gone through countless interpretations because that's what keeps the series fresh
It would be dead in a ditch without baykino btw

They still looked like Transformers instead of slopped together masses of polygons because Bay hated the franchise and ILM wanted to show off how much garbage they could fit on screen.

Man how is XTB still able to release garbage? I can't really name a figure that hasn't ended up fucked up because of overcomplicated engineering. I really wanted to give them a shot with Bond and the Youth RunaBros but the former is possibly the most low effort they could have put into the two robot gimmicks and the latter has a torrent of Q/C issues.
>>
>>11164729
Because at the end of the day, the bulk of the 3P fandom treats these things as statues first, and XTB willingly doing the obscure gives them the edge to stay perpetually relevant.
That said I do fucking love their Cosmos and Seaspray. They are very fun toys if you ask me.

Just got my NewAge 'Toruk' in. Technically, he's supposed to be SG Swoop, but the moment I saw that metallic green I immediately thought he'd make a great stand-in for a G1 Fractyl, given I'm STILL waiting for a mainline one (and a Packrat. Seriously, what gives?). Having messed around with him for a bit now, I can't overstate how much literally everything about this little guy blows Hasbro's SS86 Swoop out of the water. His wings have far more articulation, he actually has convincing pterosaur feet (and a tail!), his head moves up, down, and side-to-side, and the way his torso collapses hides his robot arms much, much better, making him look less like a flying brick and giving him an overall far more satisfying transformation. Oh, and he comes with his own flight stand - something that I really wish came standard with mainline releases for flying characters.

Robot mode. His wings tuck away nicely, and his rocket launchers can be held and rockets detached from the guns themselves (I love those blast effects). He comes with two pairs of hands, a pair that's open and has a joint at the wrist (seen in the background, attached to his flight stand) and the standard clenched fists for holding his weapons; you have to have the latter pair attached to transform him, since the open hands won't fold into the arm hollows correctly.

Size comparison with my Buzzworthy Origin Bumblebee and old BW Lazorbeak (as I never owned an actual Fractyl). I own the blue G2 'Ymir' Grimlock (another one I'm still waiting on a mainline release for), so I already knew he'd be small, but considering the character I'm using him as a stand-in for, it works here - he's a close enough size to pass as Fractyl. Anyway, I'm quite pleased with this little guy - more than I thought I would be. I might pick up a G2 colors Freyr, Rhedosaurus, Gorgo, and Varan at some point down the line as well.

Is the Transart Silverbolt vaporware?

>>11164729
Aesthetics over function. You won't get the cartoon SMOOTH botmodes without ridiculous compromises. I can only speak for Stack, but I enjoy his transformation. I got it down to a science
>>
>>11165494
>because of overcomplicated engineering
I don't think that's the reason
It's always due to a single hinge or swivel point having too much relying on it
>>
>>11164729
It's not inherently because they're complicated, XTB just doesn't know how to do it well. I like to say they brute force it, and will just smash more panels and hinges until the parts can go where they want it to. Basically no consideration of how it actually feels to transform and how intuitive it is.
There are plenty of 3P transformers out there that are complex but still straightforward enough that you can figure out without ever peeking at the instructions, XTB just doesn't care enough to do it and people keep buying their shit anyway

A good example is their Streetwise release, Fuzz. It has very pretty nice paint and a slick alt mode but possibly the single most ass backward transformation of what should be a basic bitch car bot. It is complete insanity.

They've got a Nightbeat release coming up that I have my eye on but there's a 50/50 chance it will come with a common problem with some loadbearing hinge exploding if you look at it funny. Every manufacturer has a few stinkers in their history, it's just with Xtransbots it's like there's an expectation that something will be wrong until proven otherwise.
