Tomorrow is it, the 40th anniversary of the first episode of The Transformers
Given we'll be getting a bunch of news, I'm gonna start this thread a little early so all the new pics don't get lost in the autosaging thread.

What makes Skullgrin lackluster and bad? He does look good as a robot?
>>
You guys DO play with your toys... right?
>>
>>11157840
He's not.
People are just retarded and dont realize he's a straight homage to the original Pretender.

If you have the g1 pretender and the new one and put them side by side, you can see exactly what they went for. Its a love letter to the og fig.

You're good, I don't bother making threads anymore. It got old. Sorry about all that, I guess I did wear the bit a little thin. Also being a dad now I can't justify the shitpost crusades anymore. You guys are cool.
>>11157843
NGL I still sort of want Skullgrin, mainly as he's very cheap and I kinda like the silly skull-tank fanmode I saw somewhere.
>>11157846
Hell yeah I do.
>>
>>11157843
>What makes Skullgrin lackluster and bad?
They made a couple compromises because the original plan was for his skull and armor to be removable, but they changed at the last minute so he's a little wonky
I keep telling myself I'll make an upgrade kit but never do
>>
>Always thought Vector Prime was awesome, still own the original, bit never liked the rubbery wings or sword and now it's slightly discolored.
>New one I'd an awful retool and I can't even buy it on clearance

Man, I always thought Vector was too important to get fucked over like that.
>>
>>11157862
Era of the primes is just year 1 of another 3 year product line, we might get a more premium vector prime with a different color scheme by the end of it.
Or as an exclusive with more retooling like thundertron
>>
>>11157860
He's also astheticslly off compared to Iguanus and Bomburst. The Core classes made the robot mode almost entirely pretender based, even if it compromised the vehicle a bit and kept a simple transformation. Skullgrins robot mode has pretender and robot parts mixed in, fucked up the tank profile, changed the transformation for the worse and added rubbery bits.

I don't evwn know how they fucked up ao hard.
>>
>>11157869
I'm pretty sure, given the early listings, the core classes were just gonna be that, while the deluxe + were supposed to be able to mix and match armor.
So different design philosophy.

I think they also said on stream once that core is usually all designed by the same person
>>
>>11157843
What >>11157869 said and also I'm pretty bothered by the lack of lower jaw on the skull head. It's a me problem because I know they're trying to mimic the toy (which did have an unpainted jaw molded into the chest), but he doesn't feel like a good enough stand-in for Dauros for me. I really would have preferred him to be a core class like his buddies too.
>>
>>11157891
With the way his chest folds, I wonder if you could attach a lower jaw there that folds in for tank mode...

I'm just waiting for MP or better updates of Armada/Energon/Cybertron, official or 3P. I'll get Tidal Wave but it's not worth settling for most of what we're getting. The designs are so important to me I need them done right. Same way I'm glad I splurged for MP Beast Wars.

that's not a real rule, and I even explained in my post this is in preparation so all the good news isn't in auto-sage tomorrow
>>
>>11157981
Tidal Wave isn't worth it either, the knee issue just ruins him and it has some weird choices. For reference, the one I bought was broken in package:

-connection for the arms is small and feels fragile, the port on the arm is made of two pieces and just turning the arm causes those two pieces to start twisting unnaturally, I can see those bits breaking in the future.
-The exposed back, plus not allowing the head to fold in, even if you ignore the boat storage.
-Leg connection to the thigh is completely friction based, it doesn't even have a spring loaded panel to help secure it or pegs on the inside, jusr a small bump that will start warping or rubbing off with each transformation.

Honestly, the engineering on this toy is kind og ass. I know they can do better, so I don't understand why it's so halfassed.
>>
>>11157998
it scorponok and metroplex the only titans that didn't have major issues?
Ark mabye?
>>
>>11158007
Scorponok's thigh ratchets are soft and just turning them will start shredding them since the ratchet tooth is made of harder plastic.
>>
we are seriously dealing with a child here
I think I would rather find out my kid has been trolling online than that he's a gay, but man it'd be close.
>>
>>11158012
guess I lucked out because I've never had a problem with him
>>
>>11158007
Ark has the major issue of sucking ass and being by far the worst titan
It doesn't even do a good job at bare minimum being a model of the Ark
>>
>>11158007
Going to add some more info:

-T30 Metto didn't have any major breakage issue, but most problems were growing pains from it being the first Titan. I do feel the left arm should have had a second connection to prevent it from sagging, I fear the weight will cause it to break at some point.
-Fortress main problem is the larger head connection. The way the head connect is sturdy, but the connection bits would deform a bit after repeated transformations (Sporponok fixex this by making the neck port a softer, but durable enough plastic to allow for head-on, without the FM issues.
-Tripticon had the hip and tail issues, both were fixable/avoidable but not ideal.
-Omega had some paint rubbing issues with the threads when the tank is equipped to the body. The claws using clear plastic was also a mistake, due to all the stress they endure due to ratchets and the rocket mode. You also need to be careful of the hips, you might put too much stress on them if you turn them while grabbing the thigh, just grab the hip and turn it.
-No idea is the thigh swivel issue is also on black zarak, but I assume it is. The only major problem would be the painted head, it's recommended you remove the black plate behind the head since that could cause paint chipping (I believe Takara warns you of that with their release).
-Legacy Metro has the shoulder issue where they fucked up the distance between the shoulder parts and the inner joint. Fixable, but not doing it in time will shred the joint.
-No idea in Nemesis, didn't buy it. The rubber nose was stupid.
-Ark was fine, but some joints felt too tight, fixable but annoying due to manu parts being layered.

and the packaging
>>
>>11158035
Not sure if it's a common issue, I only cracked open that leg because it felt weird when turning. I played a lot with that Sporponok on the first week I got it.

In any case, I'm not surprised if this is a common issue and most people don't report it, many transformers fans don't open their figure up or just plop them straight to a display. Remember the Legacy Metroplex issue? I'm the only person who brought it up, I never saw other sites talking about it and it was a widespread issue(apparently later copies fix that, but I never saw one).

a simplified non-transforming kiddy toy that actually doesn't suck? well, at least not from these promo images. i seem to recall the first non-transforming movie figures looking pretty good too at first.

It's a pretty fun gimmick for an inexpensive model kit. They even come with the battery you need.
The one I have is motion activated (would have preferred a switch) not sure if it's the case for the others but I assume that it is.

It is a storage object with a thick wood frame, 2 glass doors that swing open about 115 degrees, has several shelves that are made of glass, has lights at the top installed which the cord goes through a hole in the top, is about 7 feet tall, has a mirror on the back the size of the cabinet itself, and has the detailing higher than the top, which makes it just horrible for trapping dust and dead insects.

The instructions for the turret/back panel are wrong right? It depicts the tab sitting in the topmost hole but it always overshoots it into the middle/flight stand hole?
But then it leaves a big enough gap that you can spot the chin in vehicle mode. Tarn's isn't so noticeable but on Bludgeon its obvious.

Out of all things to expect, I did not expect Energon Optimus to get a Titan Class update treatment. Rumors so far but if true I hope HasTak size him up and at least make him as tall as Menasor in Super Mode. About time they revisit Fatimus Prime, he needs to get slimmed down.

Even if they don't touch anything, the rubber would still eat into the hard plastic rim. We also learned from Beachcomber that just being near that rubber causes paint to start melting off.

You know, this talk about rubber reminded me of something. I still own Cybertron Megatron and Vector Prime. Their rubbery bits are still fine almost 20 years later, and the titanium optimus ion blaster is still fine adter alll these years. Those bits are stiffer but still fine and the rubber plastic from back then didn't have any melting issues so why the hell aren't they using this for everything.

The best standalones are Getsuei and Kaen
Seizan and Suiken are pretty good too, but Seizan comes with more stuff
Shouki can hold Diaclone pilots
Yukikaze is one of the sexiest trains but the worst figure

The backpacks partsform (and can thus be little train buddies if you want, Seizan's extra guns can be slapped on his leftovers), leaving nicely articulated robots once you get past the train kibble and odd shoulder joints. Suiken's backpack is a little less secure than Seizan's.
Kaen is a fun lil guy and one of the easiest, if not the easiest, to transform.

hips guy is the smallest train, train mode given priority as train nerds have most money.

nice, i saw the backpacks then go onto the combiners feet. do they actually provide any added stability or do they just sit there?
kaen will probably be my first purchase to see what theyre like if i do pick them up

Anons I need your opinions. Earthrise or Coronation starscream? my research shows they're effectively identical toys bar paint applications with coronation lacking stripes on his vertical stabilizers/tailfins and having bigger decepticon badges. (plus all his accessories)
The lack of tail stripes sort of bugs me but scream in his 30 seconds of glory is kinda funny.
The kicker being I can still get coronation here NIB for a slightly less eye watering fee than earthrise, but both seem to hover around 35 for second-hand on ebay.

Get Coronation - it comes with more stuff and is more or less the current definitive version of the character; it'll be a while before they redo him again.
>>11158594

You feelin' alright there, buddy? I know people hated the Earthrise mold, but there's a limit to how much denial you can be in. He's as updated as he's going to get right now.

Thank you transformer anons, seems coronation is my best bet then for a decent scream with extra bits. I take it a newer version would be years out given hasbro's recent track record even if they announced it tomorrow? feels like forever between starwars releases though I hear GI joe anons had it pretty good for a while recently.

Transformers are generally very poorly stocked at retail. Sentinel Prime has a really good Deluxe figure. There's also a Japanese Optimus that looks pretty good.

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/285828?o=4

There's a bunch of high-end non-transforming stuff, but most of the movie stuff is kind of bad.

>Hot Rod gets a Decepticon color scheme and is loyal to the Decepticon leader
The black/purple/blue colorscheme he gets in Lost Light has nothing to do with Decepticons and he's co-captain with Megs long before he gets it
>Cyclonus is an Autobot
Cyclonus is neither Autobot or Decepticon in IDW since he fucked off with Nova Prime long before either side was formed
>Star Saber is a decepticon
He's a zealous nut, but he's not a Decepticon
>Getaway is a Decepticon
Getaway is just a retard in IDW
>Seekers
Starscream stays a Decepticon pretty much to the end (asides from the whole renouncing bots/cons to appease to NAILs thing), Skywarp joins GI Joe after they fix him after he was used by Galvatron solely as a teleport hub for like a whole year, and Thundercracker just goes solo

You didn't even mention the actual faction swap in IDW where Brainstorm was a Decepticon double agent (mostly just to get Con tech)

Thank you all.
It's a bit of a headscratcher that the toys aren't out at the same time as the movie.
>studio series deluxe class
It seems that right now only a single Optimus and Megatron are out. Not a peep of an Elita toy.

Honestly they've got an opportunity here, because the four main cast of the movies get two different forms, with Megs and Optimus getting three forms!
So okay their first forms can't transform, but if they wanted to Hasbro could have gotten me to buy two Optimus..ses? and two Megatron..ii? if they had separate toys for each of their forms.

>poorly stocked at retail
I have unfortunately noticed that. There's just less and less Transformer toys on the aisles these days. I know I can just buy them online but there's something lost from searching through a rack of them, trying to find the perfect one I want.
>>
>>11159072
Stores went all out on RotB and that bombed horribly, so they probably still have last year's stock on the shelves.
>>
>>11159072
>Not a peep of an Elita toy.
Elita(and Bee and Sentinel) just went up for preorder today

By the sounds of it you weren't around last year when they tried to have every RotB toy out on shelves at the same time since the movie was delayed
And that was a fuckin' mess
>>
>>11159070
Did you see the walmart stream? Everyones been dsbbed on.
>>
>>11159053
So more cartoon colored than the already very cartoon colored v1s?
>>
>>11159076
>>11159083
I had no interest in seeing RotB so yeah no, I didn't buy any of the toys.
This movie however fully spoke to my inner child. The colours, the shapes, transformations you can actually follow; I absolutely see this movie doing great with kids.
I've actually got an old toy in my hands right now. I just felt like transforming a figure back and forth in my hands after the movie.
>>
>>11159102
Yes. Even brighter colors and a few things on Bumblebee's backpack supposedly changed. So really pointless for most people.
>>
The Power Flip Optimus Prime looks interesting.
I'm not a fan how his roof is a piece that detaches, and his vehicle mode isn't great. But he can transform not only between vehicle and robot mode, but also from Orion Pax to Optimus Prime. And that is pretty sweet.
>>
>>11159149
Don't buy it if you are older than 8.
>>
>>11159153
Yeah the actual transformation...doesn't look great.
But on the other hand, I'd love to have an Orion Pax that transforms into Optimus.
What are the chances we'll get a different toy that also does that but is better quality?

The later are ones aimed for children when they go to the grocery store with mommy. Just pre-order the ones aimed at your demographic online and have them ship to home when available.
>>
>>11159188
That's the whole problem though. Casual consumers want to go to the store and buy toys after the movie. They don't want to preorder something that is literally slated to come out next year.

For what I haven't gotten yet, Magmatron.
For upcoming, I think I'll say MDLX One Prime. For traditional TF I'll say Armada Wheeljack, and I assume most probably wouldn't be super excited for it, but once the 13 Primes stuff starts a new better Vector Prime (though maybe he'll look nothing like the Cybertron version). The current one is disappointing. And if it sees release, Core Dinobot.
And for some wishlisting, Energon Scorponok.
>>
>>11159234
it's good to have a list. Mine is currently just Filch and Shard. Shard I'm not even really sold on, but a sale will grease the chute, and Filch is apparently not available, so oh well
>>11159236
yeah the new one sucks. I'm going to consider him later once i have the upgrade kit, if he's REALLY on sale.

>>11159234
There isn't actually hope for a new version of Go! Optimus is there? That as a Commander class would probably appeal to something like 5 people in NA but it'd probably be popular in Japan.

Prime Changers is what you're looking for. The deluxe Sentinel that >>11159023 suggested is one of them. Bumblebee has been my go to desk toy of late, I can't recommend him enough.

I'm from Europe; no Walmarts here.
Do you guys buy your toys from Amazon, or are there better sites?

I've been putting off buying them online, but with stores...being what they are these days, I'm going to take the step eventually.

Honestly, most of the shit I want is already in my collection (I wouldn't mind new versions of God Ginrai, Dia Atlas, Road Fire and Sonic Bomber), but I really fucking want any new version of G2 Smokescreen and Dreadwing, and the entire Battlestars (no, that new Star Convoy doesn't count).
>>
>>11159412
And by any new version, I mean new molds based on the originals in whatever colorscheme they used before. It can be Starscream and BB, Smokejumper and Gigant Bomb, I just want them to finally make those fuckers.

Did a bit of looking for what Transformers One toys are actually available now, not counting store exclusives or gimmick ones like the one-step or power flip ones.
What I could find was:
-Prime Changer Alpha Trion
-Prime Changer Sentinel Prime
-Prime Changer Bumblebee
-Prime Change Optimus Prime
-Studio Series Deluxe Optimus Prime
And that's it.

No Megatron, no Elita, no Airachnid, no Darkwing, just those five.
I suppose it's better than nothing, I know it's hard to coordinate a movie and a toyline to release at the same time, but still.
>>
>>11158955
growing up I had powerlinx cyclonus and cybertron demolisher. surprising cohesion with the toxic green and dark brown wash on both
>>
I'm honestly surprised we're getting a release of Astrotrain Galaxy Shuttle. They'll eventually do Armada Jetfire and that mold is perfect for a Galaxy Shuttle repaint or even retool.
>>
>>11159549
The mold is quite nice
>>
>>11159549
you don't think their going to make an Armada Jetfire that can combine with Armada Optimus?
>>
>>11159555
I know, but this makes a proper Galaxy Shuttle less likely. It's like when they did those Diaclone repaints and then released a much better mold not long after. I doubt we'll get a Stepper based on 86 Jazz or Black Ironhide using the SS 86 mold.
>>
>>11159556
I do? What, you think pants mode would be nixed since Galaxy Shuttle doesn't have one?

It's Mark. 9 times out of 10, if a toy has something blatantly wrong with it, you can trace it back to him. Just a sample of his fuck ups:

-Boomerang/axe on Breakdown.
-Wrong colors on Scourge because he couldn't be asses to check.
-Rubber wheels on several figures
>>
>>11159585 #
Sam's excuse was that he had no paint budget left after Mark told him scourge's tanker trailer must be painted fully silver
Sam still acted like a defensive asshole when called out for his lousy job
>>
>>11159522
>I know it's hard to coordinate a movie and a toyline to release at the same time, but still.
the movie's not out yet.
>>
>>11159593
The budget issues due to the tanker needing to be painted were only part of the issue. Sam said he thought the colors on and around the fake windows on Scourge's chest were supposed to match the corresponding area in his truck mode, even though that wasn't the case with the original toy. It was basically a designer going, "I'm going to fix what I think the original toy should have been," and then screwing it up because it didn't need to be "fixed."

Here's where he talked about it on Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJ_6pIu02K

Fortunately, it's a pretty lackluster mold to begin with, so I didn't mind passing on it due to the inaccurate colors.
>>
>>11159597
that's what i thought, but people in here have seen it
>>
>>11159585
>Rubber wheels on several figures

The whole thing with rubber wheels is so interesting to me, 'cause I remember about 10 or 15 years back hearing a lot fans say they wished more toys had rubber tires (kinda like MP figures) instead of plastic ones. But now they seem to melt paint or certain types of plastic or something? Is it that the type of rubber being used is of particularly poor quality? Or simply that the designs don't give enough clearance for the tires so they have more contact with plastic/painted parts than rubber tires did on vintage toys?
>>
>>11159616
I'm honestly surprised no Optimus toy comes with a gun, but bee has 2 built in and a giant gun. Does Orion/Optimus not use a blaster in the movie? Megatron has two different fusion cannons in the trailer alone.
>>
>>11159616
They've been having a lot of early screenings, so even though it technically isn't "out" yet, it's been pretty easy to go see.
>>
>>11159625
Dang, do spoiler tags not work on /toy/?
>>
>>11159627
afraid not
>>
>>11159620
Apparently, they changed the material. Older rubber seemed to harden, then crack. As long as it wasn't under a ton of stress, it could easily last a decade or longer, I still have 2000's transformers with rubber and its held up well enough.

At some point during the late 2000's or early 2010's, they swapped it for a different type that isn't as prone to cracking, but seems to leak plastizicer, which then causes other plastics to melt (even being near it will weaken the plastic enough that cracks can form, this was seen with the Decepticon HM trio in TR).
>>
>>11159630
is silicone that expensive? i thought it had gotten pretty damn cheap

Pulse had the Powerlinx Hot Shot on deep discount, was desperate for microns so I bought it just for Jolt and the blast effects.
Jolt is literally perfect, he's my beautiful baby boy. Love him.
I hate this Legacy Armada Hot Shot mold even more in-hand than in pictures. Even merely holding him feels bad. The biggest/chunkiest parts of his body, the ones you would naturally grasp when picking him up (the legs and backpack), are so fucking hollow and thin, and both with such obnoxiously large gaps, not to mention they're so flimsy and don't firmly peg into place, just... Arrgghhh. I'm selling this fucker immediately, I'm glad I only payed $20 shipped.
We need good new molds Armada Hot Shot and Starscream in the next three years.

>>11159768
Still have my Shockblast, Scorponok, Snowcat and Rodimus and probably a few Signal Flares floating around.

I really hope any new Energon representation will be good or at the very least half decent.

Landmine and Demolishor are my never ever wishes for an update.
Landmine's vehicle mode is too cool for them not to botch it in an updated figure and Demolishor will most likely come in his Armada iteration, if at all.

they rarely do titan repaints but I'd love if they did that Omega Supreme in G1 colors like that one old repaint. Probably wouldn't though but it would be cool.

Yes I know there's already an accurate Omega Supreme but I like the novelty (and honestly I prefer the design of that one anyway)

I still have the old Armada Wheeljack toy and his minicon, but is the new Windsheer mold worth hunting down the SG set for? Seems like a big upgrade from pics alone.
>>
>>11159851
if he's cheap
his sliced up autobadge is conveniently the same size as the biggest one on a reprolabels sheet, so if you cut it to match you can turn him into powerlinx wheeljack and not have him be shattered ass

Pre-cog Orion does not use a gun the entire movie.
After he gets his cog and learns to transform, he gets blasters in his front bumper that he uses. In robot mode, he uses guns he picked up on the battlefield to fight, that he tosses afterwards.

This studio series toy is movie accurate in that regard. No gun, it instead comes both with the bumper guns and the axe.
Between the four main cast, Orion is easily the least violent of them. Even Bumblebee gets more combat than he does.
>>
>>11159597
By the time you can purchase all four main robots from the movie it'll long be gone from theaters.
>>
>>11159844
I would do that too, but people are insane thinking they can get $50 for them locally.
one day I'll drop a ton of money on Mandarake for a bunch of UT stuff.

If SS86 Megatron can have a completely different alt mode then what he had in the movie then I see no problem as to why the cogless versions of Orion Pax and D-16 can’t also have some alt modes that they make by doing goofy yoga poses to justify putting them in Studio Series. If Hasbro really saw the money in it, I’m sure they’d get around to doing them at some point.
