holy shit someone did something great with that garbagey Slash toy
>>11145296the robot mode is still flawed but.. better!
>>11145296That's not Slash and she is great.
>>11145301that's not strongarm she looks too femenine
>>11145301that is indeed Slash, the shitty toy of the awesome movie version. the G1 one came later.
>>11145302Because she is female.
>>11145311You sure? because she looks like a man in the cartoon
>>11145302>>11145330Her legacy toy is more feminine than Windblade's lmao
>>11145330Niether does Roadrage.
>>11145301That IS Slash - it's her AoE toy, which was based on her movie appearance...that was cut completely despite having recorded voicelines (Hound's voice referring to her as a 'Clever Girl' - she didn't speak) made for her and several pieces of artwork showing her and her pack.
>>11145393>Transformers did Jurrasic world before Jurrasic world didIt's like poetry, it rhymes.
>>11145296>>11145298All they did was paint the toy brown and add a (parts forming) Xenomorph Queen 'mask' to it; nothing else is changed. The raptor head becomes the feet and robot head hides under the tail for the normal transformation, so all they did was clip the alien mask onto the raptor head in beast mode, then detach it, transform the toy normally, then clip the mask on to the robot head instead.
>>11145411i'm pretty sure this was after. wasn't it? jurassic world was like 2009 or something.>>11145432you sound like someone who whines about AI art.
>>11145434AoE came out in 2014. JW1 came out the following year, 2015 - but the whole 'dinosaurs take over the world's thing didn't happen until the end of the second one (which came out in 2018) and we didn't actually see the consequences of it until the third (2022).So yes, Transformers did it first.
Finally got my Frankenbot, dude's pretty neat. I like his tank mode and his robot mode's nice and poseable. Good transformation, holds together well. Only odd bit is his hands are stuck in palm-down zombie walk mode, so holding guns would be awkward, but it's fine, it's fitting and you can mount weapons other ways. Very easy to do RRRR FIRE BAD poses. The VHS-themed box is cool too. All around a solid buy.
>>11145435wow those both feel a lot earlier.>dinosaurs take over the worlduh i watched a review of the second one and I definitely don't recall that part. I mean they were rampaging, but they hardly took over.
>>11145440Post-credits, dude. Little girl let the dinosaurs out, they escaped all over the world (somehow), and as of the third movie, they're everywhere and people are trying to coexist.
>>11145445JW2 and 3 are both terrible but the black market scene in 3 is probably so close to what would actually happen
>>11145445huh
>>111454773 is wayy better than 2.
>>11145506TrueOnce I saw Fallen Kingdom it became my new benchmark for dumb movies. Every other dumb movie I see is now put on the scale relative to Jurassic World 23 is dumb but mostly by the crux of the conflict, not the events that take place or the characters
>>111455093 is dumb in-universe, and I feel like they acknowledged that and that made it okaynow if they ever found ANOTHER reason to drag Grant back there, no. Then it would be retarded. But this specific situation they contrived, I buy it. The motivations of the flawed people involved, that all tracks to me.
>>11145292WHAMBAMITS A DINO-JAM
Sure is TRANSforners in here
So far so goodHe's definitely the best of the Gamer EditionsAnd like ~40% heavier than most nowadays voyagers
>>11145571Actually I'll say it is a bummer that his wrist swivel is really restricted when holding the axe
>>11145523Do Transformers even actually have genders?
>>11145613Yes
>>11145613Well they were created by the Quintessons to serve as commercial products. Fembots were likely made as domestic helpers and sexbots
>>11145632>they were created by the QuintessonsHeretic, they were created by Primus in his holy image
>>11145728
>>11145749why don't you go back to /pol/ were you belong freak
>>11145749Yeah it got real gay in the end.>>11145760Is that why? I mean I'm sure as hell not watching it nor going to let my kids.
>5"11' vs 6"
always thought thrilling30s Springer was super tall but comparing him with ss85 Springer they are actually almost the same size
how they did thrilling30s Spriger's sword was always the best way to do helicopter blades-to-sword imo
also appreciate that they gave ss86 Springer a big blaster instead of those 2 dinky evo fusion blasters
>>11145798How are you liking 86 Springer? I' considering him or Magnus for my next 86 purchase.
>>11145798Get to the choppers!
>>11145830>>11145798>>11145796>>11145790>>11145787>>11145783I found SS Springer last night... He's jank.Transformation has low tolerance points, His super tight leg tabs are thin and flimsy (and they already stress broke) and when I tried to pull out his sword in helicopter blade mode, the plastic cap and pin holding it together decided to stay in the hole, and strip the pin hole...so... Im taking this faggot shit back to target. I hope you guys have better luck.
>>11145780So they share shoulders, crotches, and tires and that's it?
>>11145830>or MagnusGood look finding him at a decent price.
>>11145292What is that Plesiosaurus?
>>11145830I like him. Looks better than the siege version imo and has a good amount of accessories (never liked the siege's weapons). He just looks overall better with Magnus' group from the movie.>>11145852yea he still has some of the first mold's problems. the tabs on the legs on mine also has stress marks so I filed them down a bit to try to lessen the stress. Also the chopper wings, the sliders are floppy on my copy, wish they tabbed instead of just using friction and a prayer to stay in place. sad to hear about your sword though, rip
>>11145852>the plastic cap and pin holding it together decided to stay in the hole, and strip the pin hole...same thing happened to me, because I pushed it in too far, thinking it was like the siege version, but it wasn't.I had to get needlenose pliers to pull it out (by the pin) and now it's fine.Otherwise, none of the other issues
>>11145875Springer just looks so much better in general when he's blocky and sharp instead of that round, bulbous thing from the actual movie
>>11145868It’s 1/3 of Magmatron
>>11145880WTF were they thinking with the hands?
>>11145783How do the moving pauldrons affect his arm articulation? Drives me crazy that Siege has them fixed in place. I assume 86 can lift his arms significantly higher with the shoulder pads swung out.Really disappointed with Legacy Sandstorm having melting tires and the chest flaw. Also the partsforming cage. Went ahead and dropped $40 on a T30 Sandstorm since I've wanted a version of him for my Wreckers. I plan on doing some painting and 3D printing to give him a slightly more G1 look with the flattop head and more orange, less yellow. Looking forward to experiencing the mold, I know some people really love T30 Springer.
>>11145783>a 2012 voyager being taller and with more mass than a current day leader
>>11145749Yes actuallyWhy Janny hit you for that I don't understandMaybe you could have worded better but yes actually. You are correctIDW DID get hit for pushing Political virtue signalling and started to lose a lot of favorability, It did indeed essentially kill themTo this day they're mostly known for just "woke" panderingWhich honestly kinda sucks because I like some stuff in IDW continuality like Tarn, Cyclonus Samurai, Ultra Magnus stuff, Whirl and his persona and War Within style early stuffI think the one Wreckers run is good too. Like there's actually some solid early IDW stuff
>>11146259Its a shame, I actually really liked ODW up untik shit started getting gay. I think around the same time the Lost Light crew adopted humanized tumblr holographic personas.
Nemesis Leo Prime is currently going for about 32 leafdollars on Amazon and I'm strongly tempted. Does anyone have any opinions? I like this deco far, far more than the original (especially in beast mode), so this is the one I'd be picking up if it's good.
>>11146308it's a damn, damn good toy.i got mine at a discount too, i guess they made too many of him.keep in mind he also comes with leo convoy's special gun that was missing from his release.
>>11146308btw this image is slightly mistransformed..his right arm isn't plugged in all the way. and the real thing does not look nearly that brown.
>>11146308>>11146310that gun can hang out loosely inside the lion mode's back too, so you don't have to worry about losing it
>>11146415there's also 5mm ports on his knees, if you're into that.
Sort of hooked on Bayformers right now. Not all of the designs were perfect but so many of them were so cool. I appreciated the less conventional designs, even if they did sometimes lead to rather difficult toys. I think Revenge Of The Fallen's "Jetwing Optimus" is the best "flying Optimus" design we've had since Primal was a briefly a Bat.
>>11146441goes downhill in 4 when they started to literally take vehicle parts, slapping them on a human then let ILM figure out the transformation.
>>11146441there's so many toys that fuck up the proportions in a shitty way, this one makes me smile because it's actually an improvement.
>>11146446yeah i liked how the dinobots had knight altmodes (even if that makes no sense) with a unified look and the spiked toes and all, but the result was their toys all had pretty crummy transformations. they clearly didn't base them on being made of dino parts. hell, Grimlock has two t-rex heads.
>>11146457then we have the 3-headed Dragon in TLK made up of a dozen niggas
>>11145780>Beachcomber still near nonexistant anywhereFun
>>11146269Yea basically that was the "realization we're downhill" for a lot of peopleIt was an instant broadcast that the same LGBT types from Tumblr were somehow involved or influencing the worksThere was a few nice stuff around that time but for a lot it was basically dead then and there.Skybound is losing steam I feel yet it's still really good to me
>>11146469really wish that had gotten to be megatron>>11146478i'm pretty sure even the people who insert peen into butt are getting fucking sick of all this
>>11145303>awesome >movie versionPick one. And I'm not talking about Slash specifically. I mean anything TF-related.
I love the way these goons throw around the word 'progressive' as if it just means 'right'
>>11146488the movie designs are fucking radicool. they are mostly just rightexcept the ones where they thought it was funny to give them goofy weird faces. actually for the most part their faces just suck. but like "haha he's Einstein" fuck you.
>>11146478Yeah I agree completely on IDW. Like I cringed but there was still some decent stuff. As for Skybound, I dont think its losing steam, I've been loving it, I can't wait for each new episode. Less worried about it getting gay too, given how they keep drawing Carly and the fembots.
>>11146496>Less worried about it getting gay too, given how they keep drawing Carly and the fembots.BUT ANOOOOOOOON CARLY IS NOW BROWN IT MEANS ITS WOKE NOW
>>11146498did they change the color of an existing character?
>>11146446From 4 onward the only designs I really have a fondness for are Galvatron, Knight Optimus and TLK Megs.
>>11146501I was just making a joke but yes
>>11146441I’ve been eyeing up this design in particular on Amazon for ages, and I totally agree. I feel that around 75% of the Bayflrmer designs were poo, but that last 25% were extremely cool in a very unique way for mecha.
>>11146505Spike also changed ethnicity from the source material.
>>11146498She's modeled on the fat girl from the Star Wars sequel everyone hated according to the people working on it, so she's yellow, not brown.
potp grimlock's coming, doesn't have the claw weapons (don't care, sword or nothing) and couldn't see if it has the head, wish me luck
>>11146528My commiserations. It's a terrible toy.
>>11146505ah I didn't get the jokeyou get a lot of people (russian bots) suggesting the presence of any nonwhites is woke, rather than racebending which is absolutely woke as fuck.it's what comes of basing your politics arond what your opponents accuse you of.
>>11146539the other option for a classic look was the ss and i will never spend more than 30us€ for some plastic
>>11146504What do you like about Galvatron's design?
>>11146557weird, that actually looks chunkier than the toy we got. whose primary flaw seemed to be his chunkiness.
Hold up, what's this about Skybound going downhill? What's wrong with it? I was considering the first TPB.
>>11146567It is the same quality, just exists in the year 2023 so it has severe decompression.
>get an email from TFSource saying my points are going to expire this week>click on the site for the first time in 5 years>have about $100 in points>put one thing in my cart worth about 100 bucks>pay 4 dollars after shipping>no I would not like to receive a newsletterAnd that's the story of how I never went back to TFSource ever again>>11146567I wouldn't say it's going downhill, but after a year ow the honeymoon period is overThe first TPB is worth it
>>11146575TFsource is not that great but.. glad to hear it!
>>11146567It's just not that great from the beginning. Think of it like G1 Dreamwave's first 2 volumes: it's very back-to-basics Sunbow G1 with superficial elements to make it "modern" (arguably moreso than DW, at least that took a couple bites from Marvel), the story is gritty but not much actual narrative depth or substance, and it fumbles kinda bad with delivering on subplots/arcs and most chars just stand around while things happen around them (most infamously Soundwave, who's been carrying around Ravage goin "can i plz fix my kat" and different people tell him no and he just goes "ok" and it's been just this for basically all 12 issues so far), but the art and action scenes are at least okay.It's a very safe and unambitious action comic, but it's competently made, and just like Dreamwave was, it's coming out at a period when the Big 2 cape-comic publishers are totally hemorrhaging themselves; so, "being competent" and showing safe/familiar characterizations without much deep exploration is exactly what some people need atm - just look at how many people are fellating this comic's Optimus solely for the tone of his dialogue, objectively he's actually barely done or said anything of note yet, lol.Of course read it for yourself and make your own conclusions, maybe pirate it first and buy it if you like it. These are just my views of the situation.
So I just got this guy and find him kinda meh.I don't have the original Cybertron version but from what I see online, this one doesn't seem to improve on it in any way. if anything, you look like you get less. Is there anyone who has both who can compare
>>11146776I'll buy him off ya
>>11146778I'll keep him just for the hell of it but he feels like one of those cases where a new toy wasn't nessessary
>>11146776Get the generations selects one
>>11146781pic?
>>11146776The only thing the original toy gives you is a slightly better alt mode (like, very extremely slightly) and a spring-loaded missile. The key gimmick isn't even notable because it just pops out those tiny insignificant fins.
>>11146781you mean the retool of Hound?
>>11146795the original looks like it's more solid, not so flimsy
>>11146801The ball jointed arms weren't great, but yeah even articulation wise the newer one really only has angle tilts over the hold one, it actually carries over a lot of the old ones problems, and looks worse doing it with the proportion and detail changes.
>>11146799Yeah
>>11146805I have that one too
>>11146809Oh, so how it is?
>>11146801Not sure how much I agree honestly. The balljoints were still floppy and all of his kibble loved to crash into itself. One of the weaker cybertron molds for sure>>11146803>the newer one really only has ankle tilts, bicep swivel, wrist swivel, waist swivel, thigh shivel, balljointed head, legs that can actually move more than 30° forward and arms that can move at least a little independently of the massive shoulders ftfy
>>11146819I'll give you thighs, biceps, wrist, and waist, but the shoulders really don't work all that differently from the old toy, they adapted the same transformation but it came with it the same problems.
>>11146824i forget the toy we're talking about, but doesn't it have ridiculous arm proportions
>>11146776I've almost bought this guy twice now, before I realize that I don't actually want him.
>>11145871Want it.
>>11146825It has tiny forearms which they didn't fix at all with this one, on top of screwing the rest and of the proportions
>>11146815Its okay. It works better for Hound. There's not much that says Cybertron Hot Shot beside the basic fact it's an armored car. I did have that original mold and it does do more.
>>11146308Good solid figure. Though I did get the white one, highly recommended.
>>11146833*sigh* I'm really not very good at writing on mobile
>>11146833it looks like they maybe 10% fixed it, but it might be illusion from the hands being a different color.
>>11146776The original one is better.
>>11146839I keep saying it's pointless to do Generations toys for anything past Armanda, not with Hasbro current budgeting.
>>11146833>>11146776Cybertron Defense version is best Hot Shot.
>>11146837The forearms are a tiny bit longer, but still not proportional, there's a visual trick going on since they shortened the doors so they don't dwarf the arms by comparison
>>11146843Forgot pic.
>>11146845Got the Roadbuster repaint.
>>11146841let's be realnothing is worth doing until the budget is solvedgetting a compromised version of a good toy is worse than never getting one at all
>>11146853The budget isn't going to solve itself anytime soon if ever, we are in a economic downspike
>>11146853no, but at least the older bricks get something out of a new toy that has articulation. the later toys get nothing from the do over
>>11146857no shitwe're like that guy in that movie who's been cut in half and he's just not quite dead yet but will be once they move the train or whatever.there's no point buying diddly shit, it's over. it was over years ago. save what little money you have and put it toward helping people and hurting china.
>>11146869>and hurting china.Bitch, china owns america already
>>11146869>put it toward helping peopleyou mean, like, hookers?
>>11146874and what did you think my motivation was>>11146875helping them stop, yeah.
we ned new Roadbuster and Whirl
>>11146898Absolutely need a new Roadbuster, but the incumbent Whirl is just fine.
>>11146898>RoadbusterCan hasbro even use the g1 roadbusters likeness, wasn't there a legal issue withtakatoku? they own the mugen calibur design.
>>11145393Man we need more of those AOE dinobots I liked the designs
>>11146988they deserve full redos for studio serieshuge, detailed, properly articulated in both modes, and fixing grimlock so he has good proportions.
>>11146989Leader Scorn when?
>>11146989Oh yeah studio series is usually more scale accurate and that Grimlock wasn’t nearly big enough for prime to ride on (did they even make a studio series AOE prime?) it was still a cool looking figure
>>11147009well as i understand it, the idea with SS is that nobody should be taller than someone he's shorter than. 'relative scale.' it'd be pretty unreasonable otherwise.. but yeah . the unfortunate result of that is a lot of the guys who had leader toys have to be voyagers in SS so they can leave room for the bigger ones.it's also unfortunate but understandable that they fucked up devastator twice. he's gotta be an impossible challenge. even 3P ones are like "Er just pretend this guy has that cool pogo tail, and ignore where those treads go"
>>11147014I do miss how big transformers toys used to be, sometimes studio series figures just seem so small since they’re trying to make them more accurate although in some cases we got bigger versions of the characters like 2007 Blackout and DOTM Shockwave which were definitely bigger than the old voyager versions of those figures but it’s not just studio series they’re all smaller now
>>11146490Yeah obviously the correct word they were looking for is "accurate".
I bought comic Grimlock so now I have one extra sword for the Dinobots.I can always give it to Slash, but it's longer than her whole body. Looks a bit silly.
>>11146776Do you have a Speedia 500 Override too?Heard claims that the key can fit in their blaster too, but never seen definitive proof (images/vids) on if it can't or can.
>>11147150Her gun fits an OG key. These new ones are teeny tiny in comparison>>11147009If you wanted to release AoE Dinobots big enough you'd have an easier time just doing the rest of the cast at core scale (rip)
>>11147112snarl being so spiky makes me think he'd dual-wield bladed edges
>>11147154Dude, I know. I know they're tiny. I tried Starscream's key and it didn't fit in their gun.HOWEVER, it didn't fit all the way in; the bottom of the circle was too thick for it to just fall inside it.Additionally, I saw some youtube reviewers claim it could, but none actually showed off inserting it (at most was this shot in PvP's video, but he doesn't actually show putting it in, so i can't know if it's firmly inserted or just loosly sitting there). I'm willing to believe it could theoretically work if the base of the circle was shaped in a way to allow for the port to hold onto it, rather than its smol tab.But at this point I genuinely am just not believing anything unless it's coming from the mouth of someone who definitively owns both, instead of just assuming, lol.
>When it's incredibly obvious someone was forced to work on a figure they didn't want to makeFavorite examples?
>>11147165I'll do it myself, but I won't be able to reply until late at night.>>11147211Legacy Skullgrin.
>>11147216No prob, thanks anon.
>>11147211Antagony. Dude couldn't even be bothered to give her a feminine head.
Star Raider vehicle mode pics, as promised.They still look pretty cool together but obviously a little less cohesive due to the varying alt modes.
The ground vehicles look alot better since they all share black in their colour scheme.They really look like they could be a force to be reckoned with.
Cyclonus mould is just too good.
I appreciate how Filch can get into some nice dynamic poses with and without a flight stand.
Don't remember if Crashbar had the same issue but Road Pig's arms don't seem to come together all the way for me, making it a pain to plug in those tabs from the top of the bike into them.
Still a fun vehicle mode
I really like how the teal decals help differentiate Cannonball's vehicle mode from his robot mode.His alt mode is probably my favourite of the lot.
>>11147270>>11147282>>11147284That crow mode is so cute
>>11141965>Genuinely hate this mold and i'm beyond convinced people are coping by saying it's a good cannonballCan't speak as to whether its a good Cannonball figure since its my only one but in comparison to it's mouldmates its easily the best of the bunch.I'm no fan of this mould as a whole either but the slight improvements made to Cannonball take it from a 4/10 like the rest of them, to about a 6/10.The improvements made it somewhat enjoyable to hold but alot better to look at.
i just got the legacy armada optimus reissue and i feel like i'm going crazy. anyone have tips on transforming the tlegs into the super mode trailer? as far as i'm aware, the shines are supposed to come out to allow the removable gun turret to become the trailer hookup but i think mine is glues or something.
That's it for the Star Raiders.I really enjoyed what I got out of this wave, they all had just enough changes made that they really feel unique even if they where to be put side-by-side with the same moulds.Also some good choices for mould reuse. I'm thoroughly pleased the Cyclonus mould got another go and Filch really surprised me with how poseable she was.Lockdown is probably the only one that could've used something else to make him a lil more exciting.I hope anons can have an easier time getting their hands on them, they're alotta fun imo.
>>11147314It really is.I know some anons where saying they wish more had been done to the mould so that she was more accurate, which is fine, but she still ends up being a real fun toy.
>>11147211Any RiD update
>>11147379I know you mean Sideburn, Scourge, and Towline but I'd like to add Strongarm to that anyway
Metroplex is the first titan we got, I'd like to have a updated Metroplex.
>>11147344Black Skulls vibes
>>11147282>>11147284I fucking love Filch, tiny head, wrong tail and weird organic feather patterns be damned.>>11147296>>11147302>>11147304Got my own Road Pig in. He's fun, but has anyone found a satisfying way to use those pipes to accurately replicate his old toy's guns? I tried just plugging them in to his current guns, but they still don't look right; the problem is that the pipes here are curled instead of being straight pieces.
>>11147045fuckin leader class starscream has been good to me -twice-i didn't regret getting two different molds of the same guy even a bit.
>>11147101"... to what is currently being thought this week, by a group that gets to decide for everyone."
>>11147539i waant herbut it's not gonna happen is it. not without paying the rapest prices.
>>11147564Well she seems to be fucked for online, but maybe you will find one in store someday.
I finally have a Bay Prime. Got this guy from Alibaba and surorisingky only for 60 bucks. Took ages to arrived and the box is crumpled, but hes in great shape. This guy definitely could use more paint applications though. I think I am for sure going to need the Toy Hax set for him
>>11147592For being such a small figure his transformation is very complex and doesn't happen the way I expected it to, its very cool but a bit of a pain to figure out on your own. Loving all the accessories he has.
>>11147594Paint on the Truck mode is great at least, ajd of all my Truckformers he has the least fucked uo backside.
>>11147592the trailer turns nito an ominous scifi arch thingy?
>>11147628Its supposed to (but doesnt really) resemble the arched weapon rsck it turned into in Dark Of The Moon, and it holds all and any of the accessories not being used. Idk how his jetpack fits onto it yet though so its just kind of loosey goosey.Anons, this guy is the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series 44 Prime, is his base self the same as the other SS Bay Primes, are the accessories what differentiate him? Just wondering if theres reason for me to buy the Jetwing Optimus and not just Jetfire alone (I know that will be a pain), and I want to know of Perfect Finish could use the wings.
>>11147651To my knowledge SS DotM Prime is the same as SS RotF Prime minus, I think, a slightly retooled tummy
>>11147651Jetfire includes an ab piece to make him compatible with SS-44 Optimus iirc
>>11147444Fuck itGo crazyGAMER EDITION Titan that's FoC Metroplex
If such a big deal is going to be made out of how Hasbro handles SS86 Megatron they should just release GE Devastation Megatron and then only promote him alongside SS86 toysOr would that make autists screech harder?
>>11147721I think people need to stop making up these weird elaborate cope fanfics and just accept that 86 megatron will be a tank no matter what.He's already coming, we know he his. We've known for months.
>>11147721Just make it NA-excluded. Like the opposite of exclusive. Sell it everywhere BUT burgerland. Money's in China anyway.
>>11147688yes
>>11147729Reminder aussies can't own anything gun-like without a license If someone from the land down under wanted MP36 they'd have to get registered for it, kek
>>11147750fucking lmao
>>11147750including things like glue guns, nailguns and rivet guns?
>>11147750friend of mine had his life ruined for buying a fucking orbeez-shooting gunfrom an online store in australia. turns out those are only legal in one state and it's not the one he lives in. poor fucker.
Now that the dust is settled what do you guys think of ss 86 optimus prime?
>>11147928Very Optimus but I don't need another.
>>11147211Whats wrong with this toy
>>11147728I know he is, but I just don't get why they're bothering then. It's not like it's mandated SS has to have a Megatron
>>11147728Why does he need to be in Studio Series?
Lion King (the good one, not the 2019 one) Crossovers figure from Leo Prime when?
>>11147728Since he surely will be a commander class to compete with Optimus, what's to stop them from making him an unofficial/unadvertised triple changer? I don't mean his gun mode as an afterthought, but an actual proper transformation that's simply left absent from the instructions and packaging.Didn't they do that already with Shockwave and just called it a submarine mode?Simply have a designer make a social media post going 'Oh look at this cool "fan" mode someone came up with'. Just post it 3-6 months later when its already in peoples hands.
>>11147987>Since he surely will be a commander class to compete with OptimusSS86 Megatron is Leader Class, we already know this from the listings.
>>11147992>SS86 Megatron is Leader Classdamn, I must've missed that.That's pretty shitty, the 2nd most popular character in your franchise and leader of your bad guys should get the same treatment as OP.I was gonna say at a commander class budget they'd be more than able to make Megs a convincing triple changer, as a leader class maybe not so much.
>>11148002>the 2nd most popular character in your franchisethat's not starscream and soundwave
>>11147976He'd need a new mane and head at least.
>>11148007Main villain then?
>>11147592my brother in Christ, wipe your camera lens with a drop of isopropyl on an old T-shirt or paper towel; I think you could take much more vibrant pictures. I believe in you.
>>11148002Megatron doesn't have the size nor unimportant extra bullshit to justify the procs
>>11148079do people not just always have glasses-cleaning spray? i have like three bottles and i haven't worn glasses in 8 years except to read.
>>11148047yEAH
Oh shit
>>11148132HypeBut also Fs in the chat for Animated Swindle
>>11148132I really kind of hate that the next line is called Prime
>>11148132Great more faggot ass remakes
>>11148157Combiner Wars 2, baby!Please forget that Power of the Primes was also Combiner Wars 2
>>11148044Not an issue
>>11148163Depends on how much the Disney branding would cost.
>>11148132Oh, I thought it meant Prime as in...Transformers Prime the series. I was really struggling to remember who Vortex was on that show lol. But hey, new Bruticus, that's fun!
>>11148170I was also confused wondering if I had forgot a tfp Vortex design. Does that mean that any new TFP guys are gonna be listed as like,"TRA PRIME PRIME UNIVERSE [NAME]"? or are they gonna just not do any in the new line to avoid that?
>>11148157Personally I'm glad they're apologizing for all the garbage that came out of CW
>>11148154jesus it is?they're ass idiots at hasbro.
>>11148162>>11148177All but confirms Beast Wars and any other non-G1 stuff is getting cucked for headmaster remakes in 2026. At least studio series 86 remade most of the rushed shit from Seige and Earthrise already.
>>11148177Watch it be worse than CW
>>11147227Finally tested it. I have Hot Shot and Starscream, but I only used Starscreams since his is unpainted. The new keys don't work with Speedia Override, the gap at the back is made for old keys only, you'd have to force new keys to get them in that gap.
>>11148154>>11148185It's near 10 years since TFP(the show), right? Means it's trademark renewal time.
>>11148079Never, I refuse! (Its my shit ass phonecase, getting a new one soon enough.)
>>11148194Dude, they did Menasor in conjunction with BW, UT, Prime, and Animated characters. Them doing a new Bruticus doesn't inherently mean they're dropping all non-G1 characters.
>>11148157fucks sake, I'm so tired of them doing the same guys over
>>11148227they keep the trade-a-mark on prime because optimus prime
>>11148231Anon, next year's line-up is 13 Primes + Superion + Constructicons + BruticusNon-86 Studio Series will keep it a bit varied but it's looking pretty dire if you want anything that isn't G1 on pegs next year
>>11148174They really shouldn't be reusing names, there's so much lore to pick through that could make for non-confusing titles, or even if they just make shit up like they did with Earthrise or Kingdom.
>>11148244>Superion + Constructicons + Bruticuswhyyyyyyyy?
>>11148265Hope you're ready for Cyberworld, which is totally different from Cyberverse
>>11148081>Commander optimus size >tank, jet, and secret gun mode>includes attachments that do different things in each mode That does actually sound like Hasblows mo. Loled and autocorrect changing hasbro...
>>11148238You can't trademark just "prime" unless it's a stylized logo, but you can trademark "Optimus Prime" and "Transformers Prime" in plain text
>>11148267Because combiner wars was... not the best. Superion and Bruticus were ok, there was some decent stuff going on with them, but Motormaster absolutely ruined Menasor. The commander fixed it, and now they want the other big two to have "modernized" updates
How goof is hasbro with paint issues? I just got the autobot cars multipack and Jazz has a chunk of paint just rubbbed off on his hood because of the stupid way they packed him.
>>11148278and these won't be the best either and neither will the next batch they do again in five years because we're stuck in an endless loop. can we please move on?
>>11148277yeah but you don't need to do both
>>11148284Look man, I want a Sonic Wing Mode Cybertron Optimus and a kiss players Legion army builder as much as the next guy, but nerd money only comes from what John Hasbro thinks is nostalgic. The fans don't want Energon Scourge or a Freezon, they want eight Bumblebee molds on shelves at all times. I am reminded of how dogshit the new Sideburn is for some reason...
>>11148284combiner wars will be 10 years old by the time prime hits the shelves
>>11148279They haven't ever been great, but recent figures since Siege? have had significant problems with fit and finish. Like, 9 out of 10 your fine, but that 1 in ten is like an aliexpress bootleg.
>>11148317I'm mostly wondering if consumer care would actually do something about it. The rest of the set is fine, but that chunk of paint being fucked is seriously pissing me off. Buying more of these sets just for a good Jazz is just insanity.
>>11148315And the other superion was this guy...
>>11148320Definitely contact customer service, there are plenty of cases of people getting full sets as replacements.Just don't get your hopes up.
>>11148323That guy is the CW Motormaster of the Energon torsos
>>11146492This nigga freaking cool
>>11148324 I know I'll get fucked over for one reason, but I might as well try
>>11148355i agreei have two of him
>>11148394>then modern "voyager with a markup" leader class toys do not need to be a thing.Anybody not seeing it as hasbro being fucking greedy ever since siege shockwave and ultra magnus is just fucking retarded
>>11148271I mean at least that one doesn't contribute to it being a massive pain in the ass to search for older stuff on ebay.
>>11148394There was a time that when hasbro needed a voyager to be more complex they'd just make a nicer than average voyager.
>>11148398Most Americans are fat. So really, Ray is weird.
>>11147302For Crashbar, the insructions say to use the outer slots, but I found it way easier to spread the arms slightly and use the inner slots instead. In fact, it works so much better that I'm convinced they fucked up while making the instructions and what they tell you to do is a mistransformation.I guess they just copied those instructions for all the redecos.
>>11145292>Dinosauceeeeeers
>>11147721Actually the solution to the SS Megatron question would be to do a two pack of RED Optimus and Megatron and be done with it, since RED Megs is the closest we'll ever get to a proper G1Megatron
>>11148224Man, i know Starscream's doesn't fit, I also own him; but his key is shaped differently anyway, notably at the base. I wanted to know if Hot Shot's key worked in specific - but, if you're afraid of scratching the paint then I understand, that's cool.
smooth
>'ELLO MY FELLOW G2 Transformers®!
I want more Bayformers but I'm very happy to keep getting G1s
i wish tensegrity optimus looked like the right instead of the left. the body type is too good a matchthey could have even made super mode addon parts...
>>11147728>make Megatron a tank>but can’t let him show off the cool tank kibble because muh G1 accurate bot mode>instead have to hide all the treads and have faux Walther P-38 kibble all of a sudden appear (gun hammer on the shoulders, barrel on back, flat rectangular chest, legs contoured in a way to suggest the gun grip)This process is just so autistic just for it to not look 100% like G1 Megatron anyway because compromises will obviously be made for a leader class budget. It would be easier to bullshit a cybertronian jet mode out of G1 Megs than an earth tank. With a jet all you need are some wings hidden in the legs that flip or fold out and a cockpit/fuselage formed. Of course, the tank they could be going for could also be cybertronian or be another h-tank. I just assume it was another earth form if the idea was to pretend that instead of a Walther P-38, Sky Spy scanned a tank for Megatron.
>>11148483
>>11147211The G1ified Prime figures in legacy. The only one that feels like they sorta got it right was Cliffjumper everyone else feels like a weird after thought or ugly AF. All the TFA legacy were better in comparison.
When is the DCS Triple Threat pack going up on English websites?Why is there still no release date on Straxus?Is Dinoking only a Pulsecon exclusive?Why am I asking (you) all this?
>>11148483It's neither a models kit or a transformer
>>111486111 - soon2 - next week3 - yes4 - severe case of chuggerism
So everything leads to Onslaught being a commander in 2026, so is it how all commanders for some time will be just combiner torso? God Neptune and King Poseidon would be neat to get. But where is Ginrai and all other more fun bots.
>>11148618If only there was an amazing Ginrai coming out this winter. My dream figure would be high quality, awesome looking, and tons of accessories. In my mind it would be something of a masterpiece. After that I would wish for Raiden!
>>11148629>mpg Raiden>goodAlso I want Ginrai to be a commander not MP
>>11148618We don't know yet if Silverbolt will be leader or commanderI think it'll depend on whether the limbbots come with hand and feet or not
>>11148646Few leakers confirmed it.
>>11148652if they haven't been killed then it's not real
>>11148602Oh for certain. Arcee has her problems but at least she turns i to a damn motorcycle. What the hell happened with Bulkhead? He doesn't turn into the right alt mode and doesnt look right in Robot mode and it doesnt "work better for breakdown" either. Boss wanted a Bulkhead, and someone wanted to make a "covered truck" figure and not aj "armored truck" figure.On a similar note, if they ever make a Prime universe Optimus Prime (in the Prime toyline I'm sure), will he be the big rig or will he be that like 6 wheeled armored truck thing he was?
>>11148670They would obviously do a voyager Prime Prime, but I might be tempted by a leader Beast Hunter Prime
>>11148456I believe the best solution is Hasbro makes the best robot mode G1 Megatron they possibly can, have his gun mode as a weapon accessory scaled for Starscream's hand, and skip the transformation altogether.
Been reading a bunch of MP related rumors that arent being reposted here. The biggest rumor is that Rattrap is confirmed for being the next MPG announcement. Another tidbit I found interesting was that Takara recently stated that they currently have no plans to reissue anything. You guys and your endless Megatron cope were my very first thought. As you sit and stew over him never being a gun again you get further priced out on an MP36 every day. Like, just imagine spending your time discussing and lusting after a figure that already exists but also instead of buying it just waiting for an inferior version because reasons. Also reminder MP36 was originally only $130, probably less than SS Megatron will be after the essential DNA upgrade(s)
>>11148787Don't look at me, I fuel SS Megatron discourse but only out of pure speculahI already own MP-36
>>11148787I'm not one of the people crying about tank megs but also I've heard only bad things about MP36 His toy color is way harder to get too, while the toon colors are unbearably boring, hard to win with nu-masterpiece
>>11148798Thats a very nice display anon. Im really thinking about getting rid of some mainline G1 bots. All the ones that are redundant to MPs. SS 86 Optimus really fucked things up for me. I think a good litmus test for how much you want a figure is if you are dreading the preorder instead of excited lol
>>11148629>If only there was an amazing Ginrai coming out this winter. My dream figure would be high quality, awesome looking, and tons of accessories. In my mind it would be something of a masterpieceAdd to all of that Super Ginrai's arms that would collapse so they don't stick like a sore thumb in truck mode.
>>11148483Absolutely atrocious lmaoThis is so god damn hideous
>>11148742Man better not let you see the state of countless other generals on other boards
>>11148877Ok, Shockwave.
>>11148483Doesnt transform AND its ugly, I mean who could pass on that?
>>11148483sailor moon calledshe wants her leg proportions back
>>11148515whaaat is this glorious monstrosity. i kinda love it.
>>11148556
>>11148618Titan class needs to be put on hold for a few years and we should get multiple commanders a year instead.
>>11148787it's fucked up MP-44 is aproaching nearly a houndred of bucks in the secondary market, at that point might as well buy the robosen
>>11148787Already have Despotron for my MP Megatron slot, don't have a desire for another gun Megs. Tank is better.
>>11149225Valid
Anyone have this guy?
>>11149283Yep
>>11149287any cons other than age?
>>11148314Yeah, I get why Hasbro does it, but I can't take the collectors that want it. Because they just started collecting this year so now we have to reset the clock over and over
>Kiss playersif there isn't any atari cunny don't even bother
>>11149298whjat
>>11149283yeah, I have it. He looks pretty cool from the front but it honestly really sucks. Figures can be cheap and hollow now but this thing is more of a robot-shaped facade than anything with any mass to it, and nothing really feels like its being held solidly in place by anything, just kinda floating loosely in place. One of my biggest hopes for a larger-scale redo in the future
>>11149306would you get one for 20? has all accessories and whatnot
>>11149290do you have any versions of the mold, because he's not really different. The figure is generally alright. The gun is a little unconvincing.
>>11149310I don't have any from that gen
>>11149300Exactly what i wrote
>>11149311It's been a while since I handled him but I don't remember any real issues. I have a couple repaints, Megatron, Dreadwing, Krok
>>1114930920 honestly feels like too much, I'd say 15 or lower would be okay if you really like the look or really want a dreadwing, but only go for 20 if you're desperate for it. The figure really just does not feel good in my experience, I think even the people saying it's just okay are overstating the quality
>>11149322thanks
>>11148618>so is it how all commanders for some time will be just combiner torso?I have a gut feeling Hasbro will just make Hot Spot in 2027 and then give combiners a rest. Computron, Abominus and Predaking seem to take less priority if CW is anything to go by, probably because they were only in season 3.
>>11149352Predaking needs a redo, but the other two are fine for now.
>>11149283I agree with the other anons, it aesthetically looks cool but it’s not really fun to mess with, feels janky. It needs a remake that’s like voyager size
>>11149372Leader size and a deluxe Smokescreen to go with him.
>>11149370Predaking is getting that Takara exclusive, I think that's going to be it for now.
>>11148616>3 - yesI am going to murder myself.
>>11149176it's >>11149283 but a helicopter-drill-headmaster
What is the most rare transformer toy you guys own?
>>11149547i don't own any rare ones..i did manage to pick up perceptor's gun despite never owning him
>>11149547A DVD pack-in.
>>11149547BotCon exclusives are pretty limited
>>11149547Legends slipstream probably
I remember hearing the Legacy Skyquake mold had issues with the torso and standing? I just fiddled around with mine until I found you could compress the torso more, and his feet seem fine? They're not huge, but his nozzle on the feet can be tilted back a bit and I haven't had any issues with it standing.
>>11149547Botcon toys.
>>11148798looks greatwill you do the retro insecticons with a 3P option?>>11149283gummy tabs, floppy feet and the calves don't stay folded back like they're supposed to. the shoulder stalks feel like they'll break when you move the armlooks sick but that's kinda it. also the nail in the coffin for don figueroa's relationship with IDWi followed another anon's headcanon and made picrel BW2 BB
>>11149547maybe my telemocha stuffi also have one of those town matrix keychains if that counts
>>11148483The Studio Series Elita is looking better than the initial renders that were shown last week. Bumblebee would look good too if the chest was accurate.
>>11149683God they're so awful looking
>mild urge to complete the insecticon team>picrel doesn't match>price bloated by ramhorn for the blaster i didn't buyyeah, get fucked
>>11149283I wish he was a size bigger but I do like him, I had no interest in the Megatron he was repainted from but I love the blue/teal look of G2 Smokescreen/Dreadwind.
why do tfw2005 retards never use the thumbnail option for their massive mobilefag imagesstupid shit makes that site unusable
>>11149547Either TFCC Depth Charge or maybe customized figures since those are technically one of a kind
>>11149791>stupid shit makes that site unusableRetards farming attention do that.
>>11149678>will you do the retro insecticons with a 3P option?Part of me feels lucky that muh autism drew a hard line against no 3P MPs
>>11149678>also the nail in the coffin for don figueroa's relationship with IDWHow so?
>>11149820IDW shithead took credit for the design in print then it got made into a toy
>>11149370If you like rickety, wobbly figures that cant do anything correctly except stand in a completely neutral pose, then yeah. Even with the upgrade kits theyre still almost impossible to play with. Legacy Menasor us much better in this regard. Even famously fiddly Raiden is more balanced and rigid than Combiner Wars shit.
>>11149547
>>11150021Fake and gayPost a pic
>>11149918And then Beast Wars happened.
>>11149683My only gripe with Elita so far is the forearm kibble is a little unsightly, but given that she's a skinny fembot that isn't wearing an entire car on her back, there had to be kibble SOMEWHERE, so I guess I can make that concession. She looks great otherwise. Bee I'd have to see a full turnaround with him in a neutral standing pose, but he doesn't look awful from what I can tell, his chestplate is just unfortunate, probably would have been better served by a faux part there
>>11149865That's not what happened at all.Figueroa created a Megatron design and a story pitch, IDW initially passed on both but later decided they wanted to use the design. Figueroa agreed, updated his design to the stealth bomber Megatron, drew the issue of the comic which debuted his design and then proceeded to complain he wasn't fairly compensated.
>>11149547TR Misfire
>>11149547A still intact G1 Skyquake.
>>11150186Sick
>>11150186Very nice use of multiple scale figures! I wonder if anyone here inspired you ;)I see your work on TFW, very good stuff bro. I came here to ask if anyone has got 86 OP yet. How do you like him. I started playing w my MP44 and I had my finger on the cancel button for my preorder. His articulation appears to be quite lacking from what I’d consider ideal, but his transformation looks really fun..
>>11150112inmensely fucked up BW ravage was an exclusive
>>11150186This is awesome man
>>11150220he wasn't that great, and was overpriced. at least be glad you didn't pay retail. maybe they'll downscale the 3P one.

>>11150186Well done on this pic
>>11150186he's a pokemon master

>>11150344swoop is poop
>>11150048Never bothered opening him lmao
Welp, consumer care basically told me to pound sand. Man, I miss ordering from Japan, if anything had a problems, stores practically bend over backwards to help you out, they'd even send replacement products before you returned the item.
>>11150313Who all were in that wave, I might have 'em all. I don't have Ramhorn though, I might've seen him but I don't remember now.>>11149547TFCC Depthcharge isn't rare, is he? I got him secondhand for $13 a decade or so ago. Worth every penny, as he is badass.
>>11150347don't blame you
>>11150347I kneel...
>>11150021That reminds me, I got this Animated deluxe Earth Mode Optimus Prime, which was a FamilyMart lucky draw prize.
>>11150350The wave with Misfire had TwinTwist and Windblade.
>>11150414>>11150347I'm jealous of you fuckers
>>11150267Titans Return wave 5 had terrible distribution. He and Twintwist both go for over $100 each.Though come to think of it I have Siege Skywarp and he's become extremely difficult and expensive to find.
>>11150428Siege Skywarp was a fucking exclusive, what the fuck is going on with hasbro and seekers? why the fuck are the fucking coneheads getting the reissues and not the main ones that are not starscream?
>>11150344Swoop is the nicest, Snarl is the broodiest.
>>11150419>>11150428>He and Twintwist both go for over $100 eachWew, and I found all three at my local Walmart back when TR was going on. >>11150431I have always hated exclusivity as a practice in transformers. I get why its a thing, I can understand it and still hate it.
>>11150480>Those misassembled biceps on MisfireTheyre backwards
>>11150480>I have always hated exclusivity as a practice in transformers.exclusivity by itself isn't a bad thing, what it is bad is essential characters being exclusive and it's this reason why earthrise got analraped
>>11150485I don't think so, the mushroom peg part is on the inside. Either way I'm not gonna disassemble him, no reason to.
>>11150431Dirge got his reissue months ago
>>11150500Ah my bad thats just how they look. Thats some next level cost cutting
>>11150509indeed. total ass.here's a question, why the fuck do bendy-wire pieces on toys have to have little vampire-bite dots on them? surely those dots don't have anything to do with the insertion of the wire. they're like every so many inches.

>>11149547Don't even ask questions like these, you'll tempt me to buy some stupid Botcon Exclusive.
>>11149547TR Misfire, Windblade and Twintwist. I guess that Kingdom Ravage set too although it didn't seem rare at the time since it was somehow readily available through online stores in NZ.
>>11149547Probably my botcon strika and obsidian or custom class primal prime.

Planning my first custom since I've got a spare Kingdom Rattrap. Does this mockup seem Arcee enough?I'm planning on sourcing an appropriate head, but without access to a 3D printer my options are limited.
Also, in terms of the customisation process, it's roughly this, right?> Disassemble as much as possible, use a pin punch to remove as many pins as possible> Strip paint using isopropyl> Airbrush or spray-can lacquer primer> Airbrush with lacquer paints> Hand paint in small details using acrylics> Varnish topcoat> Reassemble> Transform never
>>11150756now why didn't I ever think of that. Whitetrap. it works.>appropriate headyeahh there's not a lot of good core girl figures and even then no guarantee they use the same head post.>>11150770wow, I don't do any of that. I just paint on the toy with acrylic vallejo and spray it with clearcoat afterward. that i am pretty sure is not varnish but maybe it is. and i still transform it. i used to use shittier paint but the process was the same.
>>11150756I couldn't tell you off the top of my head if Core class RotB Arcee works or not for a head swap
>>11150489>exclusivity by itself isn't a bad thing, what it is bad is essential characters being exclusiveYeah, the Toxitron and Star Raider waves are perfectly fine as exclusive waves since they consisted of recolours and minor retoolsCosmos and Override being in exclusive waves was shit
>>11150779I've got the Core class RotB Arcee on the way since it looks to be the right scale, attachment is a concern though.I'll probably have to dig into my spare gunpla parts and make a balljoint neck for it.>>11150772Thank you anon. I'm pretty concerned about smooth/thin/durable paint layers and I don't have a lot of confidence on acrylics on toys with moving parts.
>>11150772Can I see some of your customs? I want to know if they are good, and see how the paint holds up with your transforming. Not intended to be an attack or anything, I'm honestly curious. I have a KO SS Primal comimg so this guy won't have to stop using his own mini-me as a weapon.l, and I'm considering turning him into a Transmetal OP.I do think SS Primal's transformation will lend itself well to being safe for custom paintjobs.
>>11150713>Unite Warriors BaldigusIt's a shame this thing is so expensive especially considering it'll probably still be your best option since any new one will get fucked over by Bruticus getting Sunbow'd and the team just not giving a fuck about RiD.
>>11150805yeah it's hard as hell to get moving friction joints to retain paint. but i think clearcoating will help.>>11150814ehh i've posted, some were good, some shitty. some good but looked shitty in the photos. but all of those (except the lion-colored lio convoy) were made pre-vallejo, so now they're going to be significantly better...I can say that the spray topcoat is not bulletproof, but it helps a lot.This Dinobot was a lot of work, and now I have PF, so... kind redundant. he's getting some clear paint to tint him something else while preserving the stripes.
i still don't understand if people seriously like tfone designs or if it's just recency biaseither way most tf fans sure are the dumbest slop eaters jfc
Should have been a drawing of really small headed Autobots as a soccer team with their arms on each other like that funny image.
>>11145292So did the new movie really leak in full? I've only seen bits of a camrip.
>>11150959Yes, thanks to south america.
Yo, tourist here, I dunno if this general cared about this when it was announced, but the Trigger animation finally came out, it ended up being region locked so I grabbed a VPN and recorded the fuckin' thing, might as well drop it somewhere now that I have it on me, enjoyhttps://files.catbox.moe/jni1xt.mp4
>>11150991i have no idea what this is, but it's fucking amazing.for a hot second i thought there'd be no bayformer representation, then there it was.. animated weirdly but still. what a celebration
Which container should I get for movie? I'm leaning towards chibi Orion because he hold both pop and corn.
>>11150999>i have no idea what this isA promotional video animated by Studio Trigger for the 40th anniversary>i thought there'd be no bayformer representation, then there it was.. animated weirdly but stillYeah I can't really blame them for that, it'd be tough as shit to make those designs work with their dynamic animation without simplifying them like they did here
>>11150991Holy fucking shit that was awesome!!!
>>11150991It finally happened, Kouji from Car Robots actually got to appear in something outside the show. He was the one character who was never referenced or in any story outside of his appearances on the show.
>>11150991>Made Earthspark designs way betterlol?
>>11150991Really good. Could've done without the earthshart representation though.
>>11150991https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjuGPjWkDScHere's a youtube upload I was just about to post here, lmao.(Seems they stuck to shows+movies only and that's understandable, lol they even referenced Q-Transformers of all things, but it's a shame after all this that Rescue Bots got left out. Yeah it never aired in Japan, but Beast Hunters didn't neither, and that was here for a shot! Weh. But yeah, very awesome fanservice haha, hopefully we get a full show from them soon, like they did with Gridman)
>>11151002S o i
>>11150991Holy shit, they even have Sky-byte in the ocean scene.
>>11151028It probably isn't since the back of the head is different and very big things are missing, but I'm going to claim that is her anyway.
>>11150991Never seen an animation that was so amazing and so awful at the same time. Half of it is barely moving and everything flashes by so fast you can barely see it. On the other hand this is some of the most insane fan service ever created for any franchise ever
>>11150991>>11151028>Energon references KINO, if only it meant something as to getting toys
>>11151028Some very obscure shit in this video for the Rescue Bots to get left out.
>>11151065Rescue Bots didn't air in Japan.
>>11150999>>11151007yeah they surprisingly made the bayformers stuff look cool for once instead of embarassing. I was pleasantly surprised.
>Amazon says they'll release today arrive tomorrow>They arrive todayNeat>>11150991Very cool, you can tell real passion went into it with all the references they pulled but I agree with >>11151057.The bayformers transformation was particularly funny. Most likely they where told to stick to the budget.
Make sure to bend Ruckus' elbows first before trying to pull his arms out, there's tabs on each arm that slot into his backpack.
>>11151070The cross-series team ups and fights are neat.
I didn't need another version of this mould but I can't be too mad about it, I like it.The colours work and the new headsculpt is cool but the noodles are in desperate need of a wash to stop them blending into each other.
I like this configuration of the cannons over the shoulder for this one, since it pairs well with Ruckus.>>11151072Yeah easily the coolest bit about it. Idk if they where told to do it because of Legacy or if they where just inspired by it, but it's how I imagined Legacy was going to go from the start.The animation actually saddens me now seeing what we ended up getting with the toyline was nowhere close.
Ruckus feels too chunky in the torso, his arms can't really get much going other than infront of him and down by his sides.I'm glad I preordered this set cos now its going for $92 ausdollars and I'd be pretty pissed if I paid that much.
My Ruckus had loose paint over the wrist hole so watch out for that, and that it doesn't take off any extra paint when removing it.
If you don't mind doing stuff yourself, the cables could actually look cool with a wash.But for now i'll stick to calling them noodles.
>>11150991Holy fuck they actually referenced Beast Machines
>No Tekken x Transformers Crossover with a Bludgeon skin for Yoshimitsu and Yoshi getting his own transformer>when you have this mouldterrible anniversary t b hcant wait for the 50th
>>11151088nobody gives a fuck about tekken
>>11151091factually incorrect
Maybe I need to spend more time with these two but so far I find this set to be pretty meh.You know what you're getting with the Bludgeon/Tarn mould and Ruckus feels limited.I liked Beachcomber so its a shame the changes done to Ruckus didn't seem to pan out, atleast to me.
>>11151028Kinda funny that someone snuck in Predaking from Prime, who wasn't used in Japan. He makes a brief appearance with the Decepticon fleet.
>>11150991Many more deeper cuts than I expected.
ah, beast machines
>>11150991>>11151028It bothere me inmensely that I know those war sequences are based on actual photos, but I can't find them anywhere.
>>11151057I calls it screengrab- bait
>>11151070Nice, Amazon is telling me mine will ship on the 1st of October
the compression on this PV is criminal>>11151056>scourge is with the boatconsnaisu>>11151146disturbing lack of obsidian, the coolest vehicon
>>11151194>the compression on this PV is criminalYeah maybe waiting for the official release couldn't hurt
>>11151203Who is the big fella in the background?
>>11151211Croaton, an original Titan for Cyberverse.
>>11151146Why is Viper there?
>>111509912D will always be better than 3DCG.
>>11151028>Yeah it never aired in Japan, but Beast Hunters didn't neither, and that was here for a shot!>>11151122>Kinda funny that someone snuck in Predaking from Prime, who wasn't used in JapanThose are from GO, Optimus appeared in this form in the show (briefly) & got his BH toy over there, the Predaking that appeared is Gurren Dragotoron, it's very much like Ginrai being from Powermaster OP in appearance
>>11150980https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb_YRLURZmI
>>11151237Twatter and Tik Tok, I don't have either of them, also movie is next week. Some scenes are on yt but they are removed fast.
>>11151070Mine isn't coming until October
>>11151230Course correction on that, Predaking do seems to appear, along side the other 2 Predacons from Predacon Rising
>>11151227>LMBFwhy do they keep doing this?
>>11151248ausfags got theirs today
>>11151264Crikey!
>>11151191>>11151248>OctoberThat's a bit of a wait. I preordered mine in August and it always said it'd release September 12th.I don't use Amazon much outside these exclusives they get sometimes, I thought they operated in a more global, uniform manner that if something is released, it's released for everyone.I guess that's not totally accurate?
Took an entire year but I finally got Sixshot back in the collection. Is he absent from the video? I didnt see him.>>11151230>Go!That video reminded me of several figures Ive been meaning to get
no there was nothing from the headmasters strangely
>>11151280Fortress Maximus was in there a couple timesBut yeah, not much beyond that
>>11151290oh rightfor some reason i associate him with masterforce because of his brotherthey should have completed the trio with ne-brave too
I was fine with not having the stupid Bump of Chicken Optimus but now it was in a thing I saw so now I kinda want itGoddammit
>>11151311just take all the repaints of ER OPs you have and mash them together
>>11151311you WILL consume
>>11150999>>11151057Another tourist here, that's the general Trigger animation style for really fast action scenes, though it's also an homage to a pose Megatron and Optimus did in some promotional material
>>11151331i lol'd at how fucked up movie megatron was compared to everything else in the PV
Seeing that video just made me realize how much I miss Transformers being traditional 2D animation. Maybe it'll come back one day.
>>11151057>more movementer = more bettererare you fucking retarded? is this some John K autism?
>>11151027Better than the Beast Bores representation. This 40th anniversary pv should only include things I personally like.
>stream later>on 13th Fridayreminder not to wish too hard...
>>11150991>all those references>Sakamoto was main animator>perfect song>all those death scenesJesus it really hit hard. Vektor Prime was just perfect.
>>11151436>5 wave of United>MAYBE first wave of SS for next year - Mostly One Bee and Elita>Hall of fame vote resultsThat's it.
>>11151436>>11151449Reminder that theres the Pulsecon stream tomorrow and also a Transformers day stream on the 17th
>>11151455Yeah, Threezero and retro reissues on that day. Most fun stuff will be at NYCC next month.
>>11150151>artists get hired independently do to work for media company>literally every media company has a clause in the contract that states “if you make anything for us while working for us, it’s ours”>make cool thing>complain they don’t give you compensation for the work you did for them that’s now legally their propertymany such cases
>>11151501sometimes it works. Penders signed a Work for Hire contract and he still got to steal half the cast of the sonic comics
>>11151028>>11151227Crazy how much better the Earthspark designs look when they aren't animated like those cheap indian content farm nursery rhyme videos
EU lads, Straxus is shipping out
>>11151553Holy shit, they DO look like that
>>11150991>They actually made niko cuteHoly fuck
So, do we actually already know everything that's getting revealed tomorrow?
>>11151449>>11151455>>11151461Tomorrow will probably be probably the last wave of United, *maybe* a preview of Prime. Did the last stream even have pipeline reveals? Plus whatever chintzy merch they want to hawk at us, coins or stamps or posters or whatever. Plus a check-in on what vidya currently has TF crossovers going onThen next week will be 100% TF1Or vice versa
I found a Studio RotB Wheeljack at Target the other day. All I have to say is what the fuck.
just got potp grimlock, what's wrong with it? it's the perfect low budget classic grimlockthe fact that it's a not too show accurate, toy looking toy is a plus for my tastes the only thing that worries me a little is the clear plastic on the dino neck joint
>>11150991lmao this shit was 75% panning stills
>>11151572mainly to do with it being a combiner torso. It's ugly and the 2nd-most unstable after Motormaster
>>11151575It is a Japanese show. I don't know what else you would expect.
>>11151070still says october for me.
>>11151227who is the lady in the yellow sweater? Koji's mom?
>>11151578ever watched a mecha show
>>11151593Looped animations, panning over static images, only mouth moving, stock footage, and maybe 2 minutes of cool action out of 22 minutes.
>>11151597nice cherrypicking
>>11151601Animation is expensive to do weekly.
>>11151575i think it has to do with the usual hasjew cost cutting, fill the vid with references and the goycattle will cream thei pantsnot saying trigger is that good
>>11151607I am pretty sure this is standard trigger animation, kill la kill and little witch academia were like this at spots, sometimes entire episodes even
>>11150991I feel like my life is flashing before my eyes
>>11150991>Derrick couldn't see this
>>11151575>I have never seen anime before
>>11150991That last scene would be so much cooler if earthspark wasn't so mediocre
>>11151002i love that movies have found a new way to gouge us>>11151024>>11151027i didn't even recognize them
>>11151146who is the little bat thing
>>11151843https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Savage_Noble
>>11151262latino mother black father? looks like the opposite to me.
>>11151610why the fuckensuck did you reply to that
>>11151262>>11151849He's actually Filipino
>>11151894so did anon mean BMLF?
>>11151902Considering Filipino isn't latino, probably not
>>11151853Why the feedenseed did you reply to that?
>>11151923you don't think pacific islanders are the same as native americansand that mixing spanish with them doesn't make more hispanics
got my DK-48.. good lord, the want you to just pop his robot head off.. which is on a little hinge, so you cannot get a good grip.
>>11151057>>11151416I personally can’t stand how much Trigger is treated as a mark of quality in the animation zeitgeist. I’ve always found their style obnoxious ADHD lightshows with jagged designs salvaged by coomers and sex appeal. They have a massive following for being as loud as humanly possible.Also is Bump of Chicken synonymous with commemorative animations or is Takara just trying to ape the Pokémon Retrospective?
>>11151972>Like UGH y'all why can't they just animate talking head slice of life slideshows like a real heckin studio?!dumb nigger
>>11151972>. I’ve always found their style obnoxious ADHD lightshowsLiterally most modern transformers shows
when the fuck is that SS apelinq getting showed
>>11151972this is such a boomer-assed fucking thing to say
>>11150991nice still pictures
>>11151972The song is by bump of chicken
I need to know the lore behind the dead dog.
>>11151977>>11151980>>11151989Reminder this was the last time those faggots referenced the Transformers franchise
>>11152005are you seriously fucking triggered by panty and stocking after all these years LMAO
>>11152006>>11152005also this isn't even right considering fucking the entirety of Gridman. Get a fucking grip Boomer you're going to give yourself a heart attack lardo
>>11152005>Kino episode with ton of small homagesYou're a massive nigger
>>11152005hurhurhruhruhurrhruh that's funny
>>11151944and for some reason it only comes with one of the weird neck-shoulder things. he's clearly meant to have two.
>>11152005they done disresepected transformers I can't even y'all
>>11152005>Reminder this was the last time those faggots referenced the Transformers franchise>he doesn't know
>>11151972Actually retarded
>>11152005hehehehe. she got screwed
>>11152037couldn't fit very many soldiers in that horse
>>11152005Looks kino. This sounds like a you problem
>>11152005That reminds me, I'm still waiting for a new Star Ice Scream mold.
>>11152080it laughens me
>>11152080Starscream is loveStarscream is Life
>>11151923>>11151943Actvally, Mexicans once immigrated to the Philippines during the Spanish era. Filipinos have Latino descent.
>>11151438>Sakamoto was main animatorI wish but it literally says in English 'Project Supervisor'
>>11152127Holy fuck amazing
>>11152127Pretty rad, anon, good job.
>>11152127bitchini loved how they were fusioning
Bloated BotBoobs
>>11152131>>11152134>>11152136I stole it from TFW via /a/
>>11152127I hate these overexaggerated 'hype anime' style photo poseslike those faggots who crunch the ab 45 degress and thrust the with while standing still for a 'dynamic' static pose
Just bought this guy, what am I in for?
>>11152145Sureshock is cute, CUTE
>>11152146Man I miss RotF era toys. I don't even like the movie but that toyline was fucking stellar.
>>11151572It's got its flaws, but you're not getting a better G1 style Grimlock for a good price.As for the clear bits, I've owned and played with mine heavily for 6 years and none of the bits are showing any sign of damage, so you probably don't have to worry.
>>11151572>>11152184Literally nothing wrong with itPeople are retarded and just think it's ugly somehow
>>11152164C H U N K
>>11152127some of those are 3rd party? which ones and what company? after seeing that short I'm almost getting the urge to get the beast wars figures now
>>11152173we all do
>>11152145More proof prime arcee was best looking arcee, fuck the legacy toy so much
This damn Studio Trigger thing has me feeling nostalgic about Beast Machines of all fucking things. Perhaps I was too hard on it. Sometimes I do find myself liking that Primal design.
>>11152184>>11152193He definitely suffers for being a combiner torso (which isn't very good unless you get the now rare TDW upgrade, which TBF turns the combiner into a 10/10) but he's fun, I like him.
BrosIt's fucking realMissing Link Arcee
>>11152218Absolute maniacs.
>>11152213If beast machines wasn't a sequel it would be received WAY better, i still hate how it treated rhinox and rattrap
>>11152218Her thigh game is on point. More than anything though that is definitely a missing link.
>>11152205>UpdateThe Transmetals are both from TransArt I can't place which Megatron that isThat's Legacy Evolution TMII Megatron and PotP Optimal OptimusAnd I assume that Prime is Studio Series
>>11152218oh boy, **another** fucking arcee figlike those haven't been shelfwarming since fucking 2020
>>11152196that bad?
>>11152218SHH, no! It is legend!
>>11152218Surreal, this is something I've always sorta wanted but considered a never ever. This coming right after the absolute high of the Trigger collab and the disappointment of the godzilla collab, takara has been doing some fucked up things with my emotions as of late
>>11152218I am now unable to stop thinking about Missing Link BWN Unicron
>>11152218that's just the unpainted prototype of the OG cancelled figure right?......right?
>>11152218Don't forget Sunstreaker too
>>11152265actually REALLY good since the G1 mold devolved into paste
>>11152218It's Kup! Hi Kup!
>>11152264Remake of it, but the joints are not figured out of it according to the text.
>alright, now that we've made the most accurate retail AND high end adult collectible versions of 1984, how can we keep sales going?>literally sell them the old toys with new joints at an insane 1000% markup
>>11152218
>>11152277actually it's about 100% markupthe original was 21 bucks, which is about 63 and a half bucks today. missing link is 120, plus yknow shipping whatever since retail is dead. that's about twice what the original cost... it's ridiculous, but not that bad.
I want ML Sunstreaker.Unless its triple digits.
>>11152252Nah, tho he's not going to be doing much. As long as you're happy with the look of him in either of his modes than he's cool.
>>11152270I love Kup
>>11152265I WANTMISSING LINKCORDONGOD PLEASE
>>11152293anon, 100% of $4 is $4, which is on average what bumblebee cost in 1984missing link bumble is $40 before shipping and tax. this is 10x the price, or 1000%
>>11152316best they can do is a spin-out which won't sell, then they'll never touch the mold again
>>11152241is that really potp primal? I don't remember seeing that particular figure with wheels on the side of his legs, unless its an upgrade
>>11152321>unless its an upgradeIt could be, the Megatron has a tail upgrade
>>11152318okay let's do that math then4 dollars in 1984 is a little over 12 bucks today. so charging 40 is about a 350% markup. that's.... much more. huh.
>>11152265I appreciate them doing this but man it's going to be years until we get Missing Link Armada/Micron Legend if ever in the first place.
>>11152218No. I shouldn't. I SHOULDN'T!!!
>>11152329>Missing Link Armada/Micron Legendthe fuck?
Hmmm how serendipitous that this figure and this piece just happened to find themselves both on my desk at the same time...You don't think...
>>11152358OH SHIIIIIIIT
>>11152358>>11152359Does it fit together securely? If so what a wonderful weird coincidence
>>11152364They do! The pegs on the underside do bump into the little hinges on the backpack, but the upper pegs get enough grip, and the holes on Megs's back line up perfectly. I was so happy lol
Haslab God Fire Convoy is far along enough that they already have prototypes molded and painted in the correct colors.I'm honestly wondering if they'll manage to release this guy before the end of the year.
>>11152359sweet murcielago of santiago, that looks fantastic..... can you do anything in the altmode?
>>11152329>man it's going to be years until we get Missing Link Armada/Micron LegendI know you put that little qualifier at the end to acknowledge it probably won't happen, but even entertaining the thought even a little is massive delusion. G1 toys are getting ML figures purely for the novelty factor of having such oddball robot designs from the 80s getting modern articulation. At best, we MIGHT see original G2 molds get ML at some point. Armada, even as old as it is, doesn't have the retro aesthetic factor of the G1 toys. The novelty factor isn't there, as the toys already look pretty close to the cartoon.
Got him for under 100. I do good?
>>11152388the fuck is he doing in the sink
>>11152389He's a big guy
>>11152389it's white, the bathroom is well lit.. i think anon picked a good photospot
>>11152388This fuck goes to nearly 200, you did excellent
>>11152395thanks, didn't include instructions and one effect piece however
>>11152389I usually rinse 2nd hand robutts in warm soapy water these days after some mystery gunk incidents
>>11152329>Missing Link Armada/Micron LegendWhat exactly do you mean by this?You want the jankiest aspects of the toys with updated articulation?
This shockingly handsome guy showed up today, and from almost the first second I had my hands on him I knew I had made the right choice saying no thanks to Legacy. Before he arrived I was considering painting him to get a more G1 look but in person these colors are absolutely gorgeous and exciting and it would be a crime to alter this look. He had dust and so many loose joints but a little love with a brush and liquid polyurethane and he's ready to wreck. His price seems to be down, I guess a lot of people are ditching him for the new one. I just can't abide the melting rubber and the chest issue. And this dude just exudes so much personality.>didn't know the gun "shoots">laugh like a moron for ten minutes at how pitifully short the range is
>NZ finally has a United wave>it's the Sideburn, Strongarm, Nucleous and Cybertron Hot Shot waveI guess Nucleous and Hot Shot might be good, but I have no attachment to either character and NZ Transformers prices are higher than the guy who signed off on that Side Burn alt. mode.
>>11152402honestly micron legend starscream with a knee end would be peak transformers toy ever
>>11152397what about the tiny scorponok if any?
>>11152403>I only own this guy due to some asshole swapping it with the Legacy on Amazon.I wish I could love it, but getting it that way just made it dificult. It didn't help that I got the Legacy version and that figure had several problems I only learned after getting it. I ended up getting the Legacy for 24 and T30 ended up free since Amazon refunded me without return, but still.
>convention exclusive legacy super mode armada starscream up on reseller sites>17,000 JPYJesus, guess I'll stick with the LG-EX
>>11152408yes
>>11152410it's up on rk for about 55 usd if you want that. iirc shipping's pretty bad there though
>>11152410>17,000 JPYfugI wanted it too but not that much
>>11152413with robot kingdom it'll be that much in freight at leastthe vertical wing stripe is enough to put me off getting him anyway
>>11152408Here ya go
>>11152005I hate Trigger but that is such a stupid thing to get mad at
This the best mp?
>>11152403he is pretty cool... can't deny.>>11152411oh HELL yes. I love that guy. I think there's two little ones. and they both look so much better than ANY other toy of him.
>>11152359How do you call this form? Super Megatron? Raptor Megatron?
>>11152418cuuuute. want. I wouldn't exactly kick this version out of the nest either, but not as good.
>Kicker shows up twice in the short. Kind of surprising he got a cameo on the big Leader sprawl. It was also neat Dr Sumdac got to appear.
>>11145868technically an elasmosaurus>>11152428well don't call him megaraptor because that is already a dinosaur. and not every that cool of one.Speaking of dinos, hadrosaur transformer when?
>>11152437We did get this one, but that hardly counts. Gotta have one that transforms!
>>11151436Primal Prime is so cool.

>>11152458You should have posted an image of Goku and>klk
>>11152401>he knows Oddly pertinent post for me. Currently as we speak I am having a severe allergic reaction to the lot of second hand figures I bought tonight

>>11152461Cats. I always wash pre-owned figures. i barely had these fuckers out of the bag before they started killing me
I think transmetal Megatron is slightly discounted compared to leader prices on amazon.ca but I'm not that sure, since I've stopped keeping track of leader pricesIs he good? Is he likely to go for cheaper? The proportions look weird
>>11152421him bonecrusher and brawl have been called the best ones recently. old-wise barricade and jaz are decent iirc
>Cybertron from Galaxy Force makes a quick cameo during the Prime sequence. That's cute.
Looking at some of the new God Fire Concoy images, they seem to have done some minor changes to the sculpts. Super Fire Convoy now has a more traditional face plate, no weird slit down the middle.
>>11152495he sucksget the original
>>11152495Beast mode is impresive. it lacks the "dragster" mode and chrome from the original but robot mode is miles better, there are 3p upgrade options if you want a face closer to the cartoon.>>11152519Only downgrade is the lack of chrome, the dragster mode never worked.
>>11152534>it's good if you spend the MSRP over on add-on partsapologist faggot
>>11152218holy fuck, I hope they produce good numbers because bros that miss out on preorders will have to have their own lube on standby for the after-market.
>>11152546Not everyone wants the cartoon head, its an option, bitch.
>>11150517Apparently they are from what holds the wire in place in the mold.
>>11152161I will take the “overexaggerated 'hype anime' style photo poses” over the pelvic thrust pose any day.
>>11152388Provided he is fully intqct, yes. MPM Blackout is awesome! Looks like you are misskng a blast effect, a minigun, and Scorponok though, but for $100 thats still a steal.
>>11152218KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>11152390>>For you
>>11151587Yep, amazing how she appeared only once and got the honor of appearing here.
>>11152519>>11152534>>11152546Owning cryotek and the legacy Megatron. The original is fiddly, but it has fun gimmicks.If you want simple and affordable go for the Legacy. I like how the chest transforms. I still want a fucking cryotek repaint.
There's not been any indication that we're getting an Armada Megatron Megazarak repaint, right? I don't really feel like I need more than one of a mold, and if there's never going to be such a thing I'll probably grab Galvatron, maybe.
>>11156255A genderswapped version called Amanda Megan is more likely.
