I wouldn't. I bought the original one back when it came out in Tokyo, and it's an unfun mess with paint chipping and a transformation that encapsulates everything that is wrong with modern MP. If you don't plan on transforming it ever, go ahead, if not, I would suggest passing.

Re: TM2 Megatron
>>11152519
>he sucks. Get the original
I wonder exactly how many copies of TM2 Megs are still on the shelf from this guy parroting “he sucks” every time someone mentions the figure. I wonder if he even ever touched the figure. Do not listen to this fag. Dragon Megatron is sick as fuck. He is wicked looking and all the ‘QC issues’ on him are user error by twinks who are physically unable to close his chest.
>One common complaint is his non-screen accuracy
and it’s a good thing. They blessed his ugly ass with an awesome update. His new head is metal as fuck

>>11152519
>He sucks. Get the original.
Having owned the original, I can safely say the Legacy one is an improvement in all departments. The dragon mode looks better, the dragon neck/robot arm can actually be posed now, he actually has a robot chest and torso this time around, they ditched the dragster mode that was awkward on the original and never used on the show anyway, and he actually looks far more screen-accurate (sans the face, which can be replaced) than the old one ever did. The only downgrade is the lack of chrome, but that's understandable given we now know vac-metal chips horrendously over time.

I've got to ask, does anybody actually give a fuck? Any GI Joepedos here? Are you liking this? I'm certainly not one of the kids or nothin' but idk, I just can't get excited about GI Joe. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. I hear it and Transformers are keeping Hasbro afloat right now.
>>
>>11152976
Several people here, apparently. Maybe they don't appeal to you, but you don't speak for everyone else - there are some people who wait for a specific color of a mold rather than buying the first one to come out. Skipping Optimus Prime #254235 for Scourge, Starscream #6532 for Sunstorm, and so on. Not saying everyone does it, but it certainly does happen.
>>
>>11152979
All I know about modern Joe is that they fund their HasLabs in like an hour
>>
>>11152979
I liked the comic when I read it storytimed, but not really interested in buying toys of the humans. The vehicles seemed more interesting.
>>
>>11152979
The only things I know about GI Joe are from the live action movies but those flopped so I don't know how the fuck this franchise is still alive

Same reason there's no Rescue Bots
>>
>>11153000
It technically is, though. 'Mecha' is just the term for media with giant robots. It doesn't specify that said robots have to be piloted, just that they have to be one of the show's main focuses.

I like how they made Gigastrom like the original G1 version and Trypticon like the TR toy. Nice detail.

I had Gigastorm as a kid so I was really happy to see him. As a kid I didn't know he *was* Gigastorm (my dad bought Jap Transformers and to us he was just Typticon), but still that was very cool.

The whole animation short made me wish for a Justice League Unlimited style Transformers show. One that just follows all kinds of characters working together in all sorts of situations. Just bringing all of Transformers into one continuity.

Same here. Yeah Cyberverse, I wouldn't say it was weak at the start, I'd say it was straight up terrible to start. But over time it actually got to a point where I was enjoying it and the characters. Worst voice acting I've heard in Transformers period so far though. Thats including RoTB.

>>11153018
Thing is, mecha doesn't even need to be piloted robots either, that's just some weird misconception here in the west. If nonpiloted robots didn't count as mecha than like half the Brave Series robots are out, and I think anyone who has even looked at Brave will be able to tell you how ridiculous that is. Giant Robo or Tetsujin-28 also wouldn't count as mecha, despite being formative works in the genre

After the official reveals of wave 4 of Legacy United and SS86 Optimus turned out to just be social media posts farted out without much pomp instead of dedicated fanstreams, I’m surprised they bothered having Transformers have much of a presence here beyond “it’s the 40th anniversary” and “go see TF One next Friday”.
>>
>>11153368
I got the pre-order confirmation email but they aren't showing up on my Recent Orders page. Hope they didnt fuck me.

WHAT THE FUCK
>>
That was so umbelievably lame. Lamer than my worst expectations. Theres a reason why Transformers was last. Yes I'm happy to get Galaxy Shuttle and Cosmos but why even tote them out and present them like they are something new? Then they spent like so much time on this utterly meaningless "transformers hall of fame" nonsense.

What the hell even was that? Then basically cockteasing us on Transformers Day and October 28th or whatever, why even HAVE a "pulsecon"? Pulsecon seemed like such a non-event to me before and now its even more (or less) so.
>>
>>11153373
>>
>>11153374
Pulsecon was for joeshit and it's the end of this Transformers line so they're filling it with rare, hard to get figure repacks. I don't see what's worth complaining about. It's not like they ever reveal shit we haven't already seen PrimeVsPrime review six weeks prior anyway

the minicon they made is not going to fit into a deluxe pricepoint and hasbro execs banned them from retail according to the leakers due to poor sales of the micromasters

So we've now gone multiple waves without a single new mold. Do they just not have budget anymore?
>>
>>11153385

And no, it won't be sold out, they put aside a separate batch of stock for non Premium members.
>>
>>11153388
I'd pay more for them to just be packaged together. I wasn't expecting them to be together at the deluxe price point in the year of lord 2024

Pot meet kettle. If they put up all their stock for the premium hour and it sells out, then non Premium guys are fucked. That would be unfair and they'd get complaints, which means bad PR. They probably do half the stock at 4, then other half at 5.

>they put aside a separate batch of stock for non Premium members.
They don't. Toxitron Grimlock and Filch come to mind as characters that were wiped out by Premium members without non-Premium members ever getting a chance at them, off the top of my head. There have been many others as well. That's kinda the point of Premium in the first place: In addition to the free shipping, you're paying to get first dibs on what they have in stock, because once it's gone, it's gone unless they do a restock later.
>>
Sorry I don't really keep up with this stuff too much recently. Is the Tarn re-release not the same one in that Target 4 pack? And Galaxy Shuttle and Overcharge are just Astrotrain and Blitzwing from that 3 pack with Starscream?
>>
>>11153280
if they were repaints of molds i like, that would be fine.
but we appear to be in a beast drought.

The tarn from the 4 pack is the cyberverse version of the character vs the one thats being released is from the idw comics.
>>
>>11153343
i appreciate that too
also it looks like retracting fists are back on the menu. by gar it's been a while.
>>
>>11153441
Tarn is based on the earlier release, so different colors and no sword compared to the three pack, but the same base mold. Galaxy Shuttle and Overcharge are based on the Astrotrain and Blitzwing as as well.
>>
>>11153441
>Is the Tarn re-release not the same one in that Target 4 pack?
Nope, different Tarn. The one they rereleased is the original IDW character, while the one from the 4-pack was this guy from Cyberverse - who was one of an army of identical mooks that gained sentience.

...they WILL make Motormaster and Wildrider in their G2 colors, right?
>>11153461
You're missing the point. It's not about whether the characters are available elsewhere - the point being made is that when stuff on Pulse, specifically, sells out to Premium members first, that tends to be it. Non-Premium members are then forced to get their stuff from other venues unless the item in question was a Pulse exclusive, in which case they're screwed.
Everything but Dinoking will be available in other places in about 10 minutes, when Hasbro gives the go-ahead for non-Premium sales to open to the public.

I don't see why this wouldn't be a commander, with a Titan class Omega to combine with.

Then again they just released '86 Optimus as a commander, so they seem to be content with having each class be a higher budget version of the class below it rather than be based on size.

Titan class Energon Spreem would be way too big to combine with Optimus, and it couldn't cheat like Titan Tidal Wave does to combine with Megatron.

Energon Optimus is a combiner technically and considering how Combiners in a box set cost almost as much as a Titan I can somewhat see the reasoning. Don't know what else they can do though to make him justifiably a Titan other than a size increase and give him all the bells and whistles as much as possible.

>>11153545

Or a silhouette of the star saber, or the head of the forge of solus, or even something like half radiating light for Prima and the other half blacked out and on fire for the Fallen.

I wish the unicron trilogy logo would come back...
>>
>>11153747
just joined the discussion today, eh?
the lack of a plastic window is causing toys' accessories or even heads to be just ripped out of the package, among other issues.
>>
>>11153662

The 13 seem thought to just crank out. To be anything like lore friendly they should all be unique without much repaint possibility. We do get molds meant for one character only now and then, but man is it rare. Plus I expect Age to be a 3 year line like usual l, but it seems most of the 13 are already leaked for next year. The hell is year 3 going to be?

>>11153764
G2 Breakdown being shortpacked after the other G2 Stunticons were hard to find is a clownshow, but I'm also not certain what the best outcome would be here because it kind of makes sense to shortpack a toy that's already been released, but Cosmos was rare the first time around so does it REALLY count as being already out there?
>>

Different Primes? A new Nova Prime? Big Convoy at some point. Pack refreshes of the the primes to keep the market flooded so people have a chance to get them because they probably won't get figures again in a long time

I could see him and Wingsaber as a titian. Assuming fatimus is a mid sized leader size, and Wingsaber is a small commander with the remaining budget going towards the prime force.

Please talk me out of AoE SS Grimlock. I'm getting old and remembering even the worst Bay movies too fondly. Doesn't help that I got these guys recently.

Yes Scorponok is from RoTB (and I.love all the designs, just hated the movie) but damnit Sideways just perfect, outside of loose ankles. What a little gremlin of a decepticon!

ah, got it
well see, blonde isn't just 'less melanin' exactly, it's a different melanin structure or composition. I haven't studied it too hard, but you can have 'dark blonde' that goes almost all the way to black. my dad's hair was that color. it lacks any of the rich redness of the hair we call brown, light and dark brown alike.

I really thought I'd mind Scorponok's alt mode mpre than I do. Somehow I'm not bothered by him using the same head in both modes.

Siddways' alt mode, while not being an Audi as it ought to be, is still really nice. He rolls really well, hes very small and compact, he looks fast. He needs a Decepticon insignia in that spot on the hood though. The lack of insignia anywhere on him is odd, actually.

okay, a purple streak in BLACK hair is okay. it looks natural, like it's a highlight.
a purple streak in any other color looks faggy as fuck.
similarly, a blonde streak looks okay in red or light brown hair, but looks stupid in black hair, like you're super fake.
streaks are also better if symmetrical. but generally uniformity is better.

That mold is half a damn decade old and milked to the bone and Hasbro STILL couldn't go the extra mile. Hasbro is so goddamn pathetic. The only time that they do some interesting shit it's because Takara Tomy basically said "yeah ok but we're gonna do this too".

>>11153388
What the fuck ever. I don't care about their fucking excuses. Just hide the damn thing in the gigantic boxes they put these tiny fucking toys in. I'm sure the penny pinching braindead fuckheads they call management wouldn't even notice.

okay, if you can manage a gradient, that is cool. and it'd be really easy to maintain, since you'd just add a new higher layer as it grows out, and it would darken each one evenly.

>>11154353
No it was lame.
I mean, the first act was genuinely fun, I liked the race scene the most outta the film. But its a very shallow kids film with the third act really not living up to what it was setting up.

Sentinel is a very generic traitor scumbag you've seen in a thousand other cartoons, which's lame compared to Sentinel in TFA or Megatron Origin being just debatably a dickhead; heck, DotM Sentinel was more interesting than this guy.
Then the Quintessons weren't in this at all, their trailer shots were their only appearances - and Megatron's heel turn wasn't the tragedy they were marketing it as. I bought their friendship sure, but Megatron realizes he got lied to once and suddenly he's gonna murder all his friends and the entire planet bc his eyes are red now I guess. Also Bumblebee was a sociopath and didn't really come off as loveable at all, I'd be terrified of sharing a room with that dude.
Overall it was just eh, it felt much shorter than it actually was; the third act felt like it just wasn't complete.
>>
>>11154453
Well that's just absolute BS my dude
Sentinel is exactly the same dickbag he was in TFA

Idk, how can you?
Lit any other Sentinel wouldn't sell out the planet to alien squids just because he thought old dudes were boring, if anything they'd tighten their grip and turn Cybertron into a police-state/planet, because he's consistently very xenophobic yet patriotic. How old are you again?

Hey, look... it's chill if you like the movie. I enjoyed the first act of it myself, I just think the ending dropped the ball. Don't get so defensive just because i disagree with you, it makes you look petty.

I went looking for one of the Dinobots at two stores yesterday and came away skunked. The first store had tons of TF:One stuff at 25% off, the second store had some SS bumblebees that caught my eye for a moment. I didn't pull the trigger because $25 for a scout is just a bridge too far for me no matter how good he looks to me. This hobby is getting too expensive, I'm glad I have a good collection because I don't expect to add to it as rapidly as I had in years past.

It was a deliberate choice. Mainframe ditched Hasbro's original pitch of having it be a direct continuation of G1 in favor of doing their own thing with unrelated characters - no one on the team had actually seen G1 at the time, and they wanted creative liberty without bring shackled to an established setting with established characters they were unfamiliar with. Hell, it wasn't even until the Season 1 finale that they decided the show was set on prehistoric Earth instead of a genuinely alien planet, and that there was going to be time travel involved.

Sure, that's all true, but I dunno man I still feel like there was something lacking; like, for all of the times Orion was annoying Megs, he was simultaneously doing inarguably good things or making Megs happy, whatever he was doing he was making progress for everyone. I guess I didn't feel the film justified Megs' rage well enough, even if it did indeed show it building throughout the film - like, Megs' big argument was that he felt was happier when he was a clueless miner, and that uncovering the truth only made his life worse, his fight at the end was effectively just a breakdown/tantrum. It wasn't a clashing of differing philosophies, it just kinda made Megs seem immature while Orion was always unambiguously in the right.

Studio Series "Lockdowns retarded looking scrapper bots" when?

Saw the movie. They had over fifty designs that were really good. What the hell happened to the toy line? They released like 2.

>>11155352
Its just getting started, if the movie is a hit I'm sure they'll milk it. I hope, honestly. I worry about the Franchise given hasbros current state.

>>11155353
First and foremost they should probably stop putting money into anything Transformer related that isn't a normal transforming toy.
>>
I wish we knew more about the guards Lockdown had. I'd like to see them done as a toy, give them Lockdowns space-mecha-hyenas as an alt mode. I guess those are called Steeljaw, bjt what are his guard-henchmen called? I can't even find a pic.
>>
>>11155358
I am 100% with you on that. Statues, poseable figures, fuckin stop with that shit. Eother make ot a Transformer, even one of these dumbassed Maskformers, or don't wazte the plastic.

Idk if kids are buying some of the less fancy ones, but I'll tell you as a kid I'd call anything non-transforming gay, and now as a parent I wouldnt waste my money on a non-transforming transformer for my kids.

indeed
but i wish they would get more creative with guys who have no altmode in the movies...

He already carries a knife. Seems pointless.

Nah, the importance of being the main villain is that he can appear in many forms. Helicopter, dragon, jet, all can be reflections of him. Even "conventional" trucks and cars can be turned to his style.

Yeah I enjoy how he can do whatever the fuck he wants but if you’re going to make a figure that’s a replication of how he appeared in the 1986 the transformers the movie he should turn into a gun

the movie was made for fans of the original that are now taking their kids to see this stuff.
Like, there's SO much G1 lore baked into it that has since been ignored by other properties, there's no way it's not intending on the original fans watching it.
>>
>>11155517
I think as a vehicle he's better off as a tank
Beast megatron is a different character

That is true. Megatron fights better in robot mode where he has his fusion cannon than a much smaller mode that lacks mobility and just relies on regular energy beams.

it's exactly what that gun looks like, again, not the point
you could make an L-shaped piece of mechanical greebles, and if you put a trigger on it, certain types would shit. a toy of a rocket launcher, on the other hand, is not capable of being large enough to be taken seriously -at all.- anyone who saw it would think at most it was a telescope or something. guns get as tiny as derringers, rocket launchers do not.

Welcome to the world of real guns, where the proportions are so cartoony.

I think it's more the reinforcement of "real guns are cool" to kids that a lot of toy companies tried to steer away from

>>
>>11155557
It is a show about robots waging war. They should have as many guns as possible.
>>
>>11155561
Sure, but holding a realistic gun is a little different
>>
>>11155556
You’re smoking crack if you think those have the same proportions chances are you work for hasbro’s TF team decided on the tank and can’t cope with what a retarded decision you made
>>
>>11155556
If you stripped off the spy magic accessories maybe.
>>
>>11155491
the ban is purposefully vague, but establishes 2 things
1) that certain colors are all that's needed to establish that it's a toy gun.
"Coloration of the entire exterior surface of the device in white, bright red, bright orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright blue, bright pink, or bright purple, either singly or as the predominant color in combination with other colors in any pattern."
So if they made him white, with some red and black, it'd work.
2)They could JUST cast the plastic of his barrel tip on his back in bright orange. "A blaze orange (AMS STD 595A–17 color 12199) or orange color brighter than that specified by the AMS standard color number, marking permanently affixed to the exterior surface of the barrel, covering the circumference of the barrel from the muzzle end for a depth of at least 6 mm;"
Hasbro doesn't do it because they don't want moms that are hesitant to buy their kids a toy gun not buying Megatron.
The odds of a kid coming across an unmanned Tank they can get in and hurt someone with is a tiny fraction of the odds of them finding a gun.
>>
>>11155556
Clips different handle is different barrel is different scope is different sights are different and proportions are hella far off
>>
>>11155532
It has violent deaths, curse words, and existential crisises.
I wouldn't call it "for babies" but it's definitely meant for families to enjoy together.
>>
>>11155569
>>11155565
>>11155564

Takara literally made an official "Man from Uncle Walther P-38" transforming robot toy, which became Megatron.
Are you implying that the on-screen version is different proportions, or are you saying megatron's gun mode isn't a real gun mode?

then why does it look so shitty and why all the other shit people said, about how it misses the point so badly it feels like the first 'transformers movie' made by Illumination or something.
>>
>>11155577
Okay you don’t have an eye for detail so this is going to be difficult for you to understand but if you look at the width of the barrel compared to the trigger notice the animated barrel is much wider?
The real gun doesn’t look like that or if you like at the opening of the scope on the real gun it’s very large compared to the exit hole but in the illustration it’s the same diameter
if you look at the wide portion of the silencer there’s no ribbing or groves on it
if you look at the animation there are grooves
if you look at the wide portion of the silencer it’s not lined up with the thick portion of the barrel in the animation they line up
this is really obvious to anyone with eyes
>>
>>11155592
Are you confusing "accurate reproduction" with "realistic proportions"?
Cause the law says "lookalikes" are banned, not just "exact replicas"
>>
>>11155591
Because it is the style at the time.
>>
>>11155591
>then why does it look so shitty and why all the other shit people said, about how it misses the point so badly it feels like the first 'transformers movie' made by Illumination or something

>Hasbro doesn't do it because they don't want moms that are hesitant to buy their kids a toy gun not buying Megatron.
Hasbro doesn't want to sell kids pistols for their transformers brand.
Nerf is okay, because no parent is buying nerf unless they know it's for kids to shoot at each other.
They don't want moms complaining about the ONE transformer toy on the shelf that turns into a gun.

It's a branding thing, for marketing, not because of the law.

well, the few main characters, sure, but they're still in a world of transformers. The first act revolves around them interacting with actual transforming characters. Transforming isn't some new, strange thing to them as a concept. They just didn't know how it works (and the movie explains that)
>they have to overcome their personal problems
I don't think any of them DO overcome their personal problems. Elita 1 kinda.
>society is holding them back
Nope, literally not society at all, that's the whole plot of the movie.

>>11155618
>megs avoided conflict before he got his tcog
Uh, no, I think you missed the driving force there.
It wasn't that he got a tcog, it's that what he found out that changed him.
His personal issue wasn't resolved, it DEVELOPED mid-movie, and he never overcame it, that's literally why he becomes a bad guy.
>Prime was completely irresponsible
No he wasn't, what are you talking about, he demonstrates his responsibility over and over in the opening act.
You must mean something else.
>>11155622

>>
>>11155624
I'm pretty sure the failure of earthspark and the HUGELY positive test screenings of TFOne is the reason Hasbro decided to pull the plug on Earthspark early.

Here's the biggest differences
1) no humans (obviously) but also no audience self insert. Bee isn't an audience self insert in this, he's a comedic foil meant to break the tension between the other characters (because the plot is extremely serious)
2) the characters have reasons to interact with each other. There's no factions yet, so the plot has to literally give them reasons to meet each other, and reasons that they have to spend time together, discovering things and then taking actions. And sometimes those actions mean they're not going the same direction, they butt heads, etc
3) failure MEANS failure. There's consequences. Even Optimus' positive traits inevitably come back to haunt him because he's not being realistic enough in his outlook. Even the overconfident elita has to come to terms with her failures, and stop trying to be in charge all the time because their side achieving their goals is more important than doing it her way.
Lastly
4) Steve Buschemi is starscream and he's amazing at it.

>No he wasn't, what are you talking about, he demonstrates his responsibility over and over in the opening act.

Uh going into the records room was irresponsible going into the race was irresponsible getting his boss fired and risking his and his best friends life for jazz was irresponsible that time he tried to Transform without a t cog was irresponsible picking a fight with dark wing

Or they just gave them a bunch of names and a few characters that have to have a certain look and others that can be free reign

well, the guy who gave them the Darkwing name didn't say anything about naming any others, and the only other characters named in the movie are spot on as their debut designs except 2 notable exceptions
Alpha Trion and Sentinel Prime, who for story reasons had to have been designed as those 2 characters specifically, cause no one else would fit.

When my cousin was little, my uncle bought her a dinky little kid-sized rifle. Its stock was blue plastic. I thought it was a toy at first, but was an actual gun, fired those tiny little bullets.

Fuck a tank, a giant stationary gun fits Megatron better. Just like as a handgun, he's limited when in altmode, requiring assistance from his #2, and also like his handgun mode as a cannon he'd have huge destructive power.

Too long, can't turn good, a broadside knocks over the landship, etc. They look cool though, if we're talking impractical vehicles of war I want an aircraft carrier supertank, just a fuckhuge forest-crushing monstrosity that houses and launches a whole squadron whenever it wants.

exobably because war is no longer a thing where legitimate governments fight each other, since they have too much to lose. It's a thing where third world shitholes steal weapons and use them in ways that wouldn't win a battle, let alone a war, but manage to cow us into submission because they're scary and attacking civilians and are fucking impossible to track down afterward. Basically we're not two stags ramming antlers anymore, we're a stag getting lyme disease from a tick.

You should, it's the best of the live action ones by a mile, though I suppose that's not the highest praise. I liked Shatter, it's nice when the Decepticons are people and not slobber monsters.

Maybe the battle at Autobot city deforested the surrounding region and crashed the local ecology, dessertifying it? Or maybe the people making the show in the late 80s were high on excellent cocaine and didn't care about continuity.

It's glossed over in the final movie but earlier drafts emphasize Megatron's plan to destroy Autobot City is because it's where the Autobots are getting their supplies of Energon. The panning shot in the final film is the only thing to even allude to this, with how it has numerous windmills and a hydroelectric dam.

I went with the gap-filler kit that also came with an extension for the sword (so you plug the sword into it, and then plug that into the hilt). the same sellers also have one huge blade if that's what you prefer.

Iguanas is a solid core class but Skullgrin has a lackluster robot mode and a bafflingly bad alt mode.
>>
>>11157816
I'm not too concerned with gap fillers but I'd really like a solid plastic sword instead of the rubbery one that comes with the toy. Did the set you got come with a replacement blade too or do they expect you to use the stock blade with the extension piece?

Skullgrins robot mode looks really cool and between his back guns and sword guns you habe a lot of options for how to arm him.

Anon, that's the opposite of goanon
>>
>>11157847
that's because that's goanon obviously.
he's not even good at gaslighting.
>>
Well I did have a thread waiting for the correct time, but I guess that's not happening now. unless the mods decide to actually do their jobs.
>>
>>11157849
No no, I'm not doing the goanon bit anymore. See >>11157852.
>>
it's kind of baffling that not one of us has a mod friend, but then i realized mods have no friends
>>
>>11157853
Why on earth would a mod delete a new thread that's following the rules
>>
>>11157814
Skullgrin is genuinely awful.
>>
making a new thread when the old one is still up and nowhere near image limit, which will still be up days from now, qualifies as spamming
what's hilarious is, when I made a thread and goanon also made one, mine got deleted twice as often. back when they still gave a shit. I guess after the sixth or seventh time he ban-evaded, they gave up.

>>11157824
Well, Suzuki had a really well known truck called Suzuki Carry, so Garry became the trademark friendly word for a hauling vehicle
>>
>>11157873
That's not what spamming is
Spamming is repeatedly posting the same thing over and over
>>
oh like what you did when you spammed like eight transformers threads at once.
>>
>gofag is seething and pretending he can enforce spamming when he blatantly spams images just to force the thread to the image limit so he can rush to post his thread
kekaroo!
>>
>>11157881
The mods can see IP
They know I've only posted 1 new thread in at least 6 months

I didn't even make the new thread. Chill out, I'm not doing that shit anymore. It got old and I've got more important stuff to worry about, notably a wife and son. You guys have suffered enough.
>>
>>11157890
Huh...
I long suspected you posted here.
Now I know
>>
>>11157895
I've been here for years, yeah. Sorry about the multi-year autistic shitpost crusade, BTW. It was a bad joke that got out of hand. I'd like to apologize for the whole thing, you guys are still the best place to talk Transformers even if the bar is kinda low.

oh well that makes the past completely irrelevant then

good job inspiring another to follow after you, though. passed the title on, I guess.

Iguanus is very fun, a slight downgrade from the masterpiece that is known to friends and foes as Bomb-Burst, but it would especially be fun to have them together. You only have a few choices for motorcycles and a tiny one is pretty fun. You could precariously balance them together for a mega-mode if you'd like.
>>
>>11157985
Iguanus is way better than Bomb Burst, BB doesn’t peg together in alt mode and is floppy

>arm pegs
The arms are solid enough that they're not going to fall apart at a single touch, unless the ballpegs are somehow loose, the legs peg in fine. The axe thing is a bit floppy and sort of rotates on a hinge somehow, but you can pretend it's his cannon in altmode or just chuck it in a drawer. The only actual complaint I'd have is that pegging his wings to his back stresses out the sockets quite a bit, but otherwise he's solid

Fucking hell, what is with these flat top pins?!
Bent the cheap watchmakers vice pin trying to remove them from Kingdom Rattrap.
Am I going to have to heat it with my soldering equipment or something?
>>
>>11157918
Dude, assuming you're being honest, why do you expect a simple apology to just smooth things over? You spent years intentionally disrupting the general while also attempting to deceive and gaslight everyone concerning your behavior. Why would anyone believe your apology is genuine when you were being the exact opposite for so long? This is like trying to burn down someone's house, attempting to convince them it was always on fire, and then expecting them to treat you with warmth and kindness simply because you said sorry afterward. You're not going to get forgiveness that easily from anyone unless they're Jesus Christ himself.
>>
>>11158044
>Am I going to have to heat it with my soldering equipment or something?
yes
baffling that they went that direction, but I suspect it's because it reduced errors in assembly
>>
>>11158044
I'm sorry I'm just hearing Scott McNeil's voice making all kinds of complaints
anyway I have no idea what you're talking about or doing... or why you have to do it.
>>
>>11158048
>You spent years intentionally disrupting the general while also attempting to deceive and gaslight everyone
>everyone
Dude, like 4 of us from that era still post here. Life has real shit going on, being mad at a rando on the internet for their posting habits on a toy forum is a waste of effort.

>Comparing shitposting on a mongolian basket weaving imageboard to burning someone's house down
Anon, I think you might have priority issues.
>>
>>11158048
if you refuse a simple apology, you don't get a better one
you get fewer simple apologies going forward
and Yeshua asked us to be like him, so.. i'm forgivin' this dude. at least in theory. I mean none of us know who anyone is or who's behind any post.
>>
>>11158050
Fuck. I may have to find if I can get a super-fine TS-100 tip.
I've got a bit of modification to do to remove two of the blind hole pins for the back panels, I'll have to dredge up my pin vice I think.

>>11158054
Honestly, I got the premium Takara one, and have wanted to do a custom. Breaking the spare Kingdom one down and repainting it sounds like a fun project.
>>
>>11158068
I suppose it'd be pretty hard to do a full custom without taking him apart. lots of crevices in there.
whatchu painting him into? packrat? some kind of OC? maybe a spooky red-eyed black rat called Plaguebiter or something?
Oh wait are you the dude who's making him Arcee? Mous.. Mousee. That doesn't work.

Yep, I'm that idiot who's going to arcee-ify a Rattrap.
Turns out the Core Arcee head is the right size, so I'm moving ahead with it.
>>
>>11158077
size is one thing, does it have the same socket? or are you just gonna improvise if it's not quite right.
either way i love this.
but when I look at >>11158044 it looks to me like you've already disassembled enough to paint each part, let it dry, bend the joint, paint the newly exposed part, move it back, see what scraped off from movement, etc.. until it's finished. Not pretty, but these aint model kits after all. I guess the tough part would be getting protective clearcoating inside every joint... but if most of the potentially exposed gray is inside her torso, you won't even see it.
>>
>>11158081
I'm going to have to make a neck depending on how I go since the Core Arcee head is on a standard balljoint.
I have all the gunpla parts (well, 30MM parts) necessary to do it if I can actually get the Rattrap robot head free.
>>
>>11158092
if you're making a new neck from scratch, then nothing's stopping you from sawing rattrap's neck right off, right? or did I misunderstand.
>>
>>11157359
at that point just give her a dick
>>
>>11158110
You're right on that, there's nothing really stopping me getting to it with a hobby saw for a clean cut.
It mostly comes down to my philosophy when it comes to projects, where I like to take as few irreversible steps as possible... because I'm very error-prone.
>>
>>11158131
man I hear that. I have a dremel and i got good saw blades for it but i am way too chicken to use them til my hands stop shaking at least.
>>
>>11158048
>You spent years intentionally disrupting the general
no one disrupted the general except you being assblasted and spamming the catalog with multiple threads.

Anon, there is a scene in the movie where we see all the primes with Alpha Trion and then there is another one where Optimus gets Matrix and we see all of them as force ghosts.
>>
>>11158300
That's cool
There is a lot of references in it
I'll definitely be going through it when it releases for home viewing
>>
>>11158300
Man, they're going to milk this movie for years. They'll shove fucking everything in studio series.

I wonder if they'll do a nemesis prime redeco of armada optimus with just the core robot
