>>11230119Touch grass, gofag.
>here's your $25 deluxe bro
>>11230117oh that's okay
>>11230126I would pay up to $11 for this.
>>11230114I will always pick G2 over G1 if the option is availableDiaclone deco is cooler than both, but also doesn't exist, so
>>11230126Now post the truck mode
Tell me about the Titan Tidal Wave.Would it be a good complement to Cybertron Metroplex?Or should I snag that WFC/FOC Omega Supreme redeco they pushed out?

One Piece X Transformers crossover when?
Hey, guess what? This Devastation Optimus is part of the "A" level Studio Series toys.That means you're going to see millions of them for months on end, along with Studio Series Transformers One B-127.Like how Transformers One Optimus and Studio Series '86 Bumblebee are everywhere right now.
So if anyone can weigh in on thisI've got to move into a smaller place and there's not enough room for all of my stuff, so I'm putting a bunch of my things into storage, including most of my Transformers figures.What's the best way to store then to avoid things like yellowing? I'm asking because a bunch of my old video game equipment yellowed from being in moving boxes in storage over the last few years and I don't know how to prevent it. I've got my TFs packed into ziplock bags in moving boxes but I'm not sure if that'll protect them.
>>11230154>Transformers One Optimus and Studio Series '86 Bumblebee are everywhere right now.I've got two nearby Targets and one Walmart, One Optimus and 86 Bumblebee haven't been plenty in either of them. The only thing I've been seeing are a bunch of Legacy United Voyagers and the white rocklord thing.
Remember when Optimus turned into a surfing gorilla
>>11230154>Studio Series '86 Bumblebee are everywhere right now.Could have fooled me.
>>11230158So did lots of people assume Optimus Primal was Optimus Prime?
>>11230154Oh no cool toys that are widely available! Aaahhh save me hasbro!
>>11230135Too small, knees self-destruct, do not give Hasbro money for that shit
>>11230161He's supposed to be, the cartoon got it wrong.
>>11230078Slight jokes/hyperbole aside, the '86 movie is kinda similar to the first Bay movie in a lot of ways; it's incredibly dumb, but very fun and visually superb. Blurr and Wheelie were annoying as fuck though.
>>11230161To be fair that one was explicitly sold as Prime
>>11230133>>11230143Looks like the average Optimus Prime truck mode.
>>11230145eh one piece is ugly. even if it is fun. might make some interesting TFs..i'm more concerned with when this goes on clearance. maybe next chrimbo.
>>11230155if they're in boxes, you've stopped the first culprit: sunlight. the second culprit is heat, so make sure you keep those boxes inside in the air conditioning. I'm not sure if bags help, I think whatever they outgas it's actually better to let it escape? could be wrong there.also sorry to hear about that, i've been in your shoes twice as often as i've been out of them.
>>11230126Americans have it good, Deluxe are $40 Voyagers $50 and leaders $80. Moved over to 3rd party and have not looked back since. I got a MS-02 Light of Freedom cheaper then SS86 Prime costs here.
>>11230172it's funny how they had that concept, and optimus and megatron were tiny. Especially since the REAL primal and megatron were ultras and were in the same wave. they were obviously kinda making it up as they went.
>yet another Optimus Prime
I can't wait for the gamer edition Shockwave and add him to my Shockwave collection. I call them the Shock Council of the Multiverse.
>>11230177It's on the shittier spectrum of truck modes. It gets mogged by pretty much every other Optimus currently available.
>>11230198Motherfucker its Transformers, what did you expect???
>>11230223don't be fucking willfully dense. We've had like TEN fucking Optimus Primes in the last year. >ooooo its a sposed to have the same character over and over cuz transformers is just ooptimus prime just like in my coloring boox :)
>>11230145I, for one, can't wait for this frog.
>>11230172his chess partner and fellow High Field Marshall General: G2 Rapido. May he reign forever.
>>11230226>
>>11230192Hasbro/Kenner was still on the G2 mindset of Big Name across the spectrum for size classes. Optimus and Megatron were going to have like six toys each before G2 ended had the last few not been cancelled. Feels like Kenner shifted gears quickly into Beast Wars though so even Basic Optimus/Megatron come across more as an oddity than the status quo.
>>11230173I think the 86 movie looks like shit to be honestNot in terms of fidelity, everyone is really nice and shiny and clean and chrome, but literally everything else about it sucks. The animation is still basically the same poorly animated stuff as the cartoon, but worse than that, the pacing (both in the story and animation) is absolutely dreadful. Every story beat feels like it has multiple cut parts. Battle on autobot city is a great example of this. So many scenes just come and go with little to no satisfying transition with a handful of iconic scenes in-between. It's not even intentionally sporadic like say, the d-day scene in saving private ryan, it's just bad. The rodimus awakening and end of the movie in particular is genuinely some of the most schizophrenic scene placement I've ever seen in animation (and unicron's exploding animation is actually horrible) it's so fucking bizarre.I guess it makes sense for a movie that's basically an extended G1 episode, but they really should've a studio that actually knows what they're doing. The movie is basically carried by its handful of iconic scenes and quotes alone.
Thoughts on my current Deceptichud collection 2 months in?
>>11230173>>11230257baytards need to be excised from this fandom
>>11230259You assembled this collection in 3 months? That's sick. Love thundercrackers dog lol
>>11230261Bayverse isn't even my favorite transformers content you fucking fag, but I'm also not blind to the really poor quality of the 86 movie that gets endlessly fellated by nostalgiafags
>>11230268You're just a fucking tastelet who's incapable of viewing things in context. >It's bad cuz it's not gots asplosions and cg! the robots don't gots polygons! that's like a baby show! where are the america soldier mens going PEW PEW PEW!!!!!
>>11230268I thought it was generally held that the animation is downright impeccable. it looks superb to me. haven't actually seen it, looks a bit dry for my taste.
>boxy robots that don't look realistic>no cg>a fucking cartoon, no real people>writing is a total shitshow, doesn't accept the realities of war and killing>doesn't properly venerate americacan't believe people watch that shit
>>11230259I'm jelly of your seekers. I have Starscream but hasbro refuses to reissue Thundercracker and Skywarp for some fucking reason
>>11230287Because they were licenced as exclusives to target. If they want to make more, target would have to ok it
>>11230226Go look at thw list of OP toys, retard
>>11230259pretty sick dude, but...I don't want to say it but, who's in charge?
>>11230263I sold almost all my lego slop for it. I enjoy it a lot more though. >>11230287I got a really good deal on them both. It was like 80.Ignore the shitty windshield on Ironhide, I made it slightly better after taking this pic.
>>11230293Shocky is acting boss until I get my Megatron in the mail.
>>11230294aw man, i can't imagine selling my legos. even though i do seem to oscillate between brief obsession and long periods of apathy.
>>11230227If you mean when they make Spittor/Diver, join the club.
>Takara Leo Prime is missing two of his blastersWhy?
>>11230301wait really? he doesn't have the full set of four? does he come with the extra gun that Dark Leo got at least?
>>11230259Commendable. Good luck finding a Bombshell that doesn't cost a leg. Sellers on fb are your best option.
>>11230301You know what you did.
>>11230305I have him in the back, he's just slightly hidden. >>11230297Fair. I just didn't feel very connected to them anymore.
>>11230145>tfw no Going Merry/Thousand Sunny transformer.>tfw no General Franky turning into...another Franky robot
>>11230294Did you *unkill* ironhide?
>>11230324I tried. Looks alright.
>>11230154>Like how Transformers One Optimus and Studio Series '86 Bumblebee are everywhere right now.
>>11230126Not gonna lie, I kinda like the angled grill in robot mode. I’ll need to see him next to other Primes, especially G1 Legacy, but that axe is a big miss.
>>11230334there is a logic to that... more of a fit torso shape
>>11230302No, just two. He's missing the shorter pair.
>>11230339fucking insane, how can he do his big mane gun thingy
I wonder if there are going to be any good black friday deals
>>11230259>Buzzsaw and Laserbeakdid you buy two Soundwaves?
>>11230340You, uh, just pretend the side blasters are there. That's literally how Takara is advertising it, 5mm ports with nothing to go on them.
>>11230350oh were those guns red and black in the anime?wait so he doesn't even have the maximal buster?
>>11230344Yea, I sold the legacy one to a friend and kept the Nemesis one. Cost me like 70 total for him and his kids.
>>11230358>>11230344>have to buy two to get both birds.Hasbro really fucked the fans there huh?
>>11230360Technically you could just buy the Laserbeak that came in a two-pack 5 years ago, but the 3-pack Soundwave is the one with the better deco.
>>11230114Wtf is this?G1 but with an articulation kit?
>>11230350Good thing I 3d printed extras.
>>11230329They quite literally are spilling off shelves at every Walmart
>>11230364That one has the head nobody wants
>>11230360They should've just re-released the Walmart pack with Soundwave, Laserbeak, and Ravage and sold Buzzsaw with a Soundblaster retool.
>>11230296objectively the only correct answer. you're alright.
>>11230126>>11230143Damn, it sure is a shame we won't be getting anything else from Devestation after this bombs and shelfwarms for 10+ years.
>>11230378the logical choice
>>11230381Being an Optimus Prime, might sell anyway. The death would be from the generic multipack.
>>11230300>Spittor/DiverGod, I really want the original BW 2 Diver toy, but they're upwards of $300 on Ebay last time I checked.
>>11230378I see you have autism cause you changed the fusion cannon hand to be opposite to the kibble. Who is the one in the background?
>>11230392If they don't make at least Diver (preferably both Diver and Spittor) from that mold I'm going to be very cross.
Got this guy, he looked too cool
>>11230466Ban phone posters
>>11230466every hotspot ever looks like a weedy little string bean post-mmc
What's your favorite tf glup shitto? Mine personally is Thundertron..>space pirate>turns into some robo panther thing>fights Megatron to a standstillAbsolute based motherfucker
>>11230481he's meant to be a lion, he's just... a terrible lionthey had two chances at this character, they both have -stupendous- robot modes and monkeyshit beast modes.
Any UKnons still holding out hope for an 86 optimus restock anytime soon? Saw some talk of hasbro dropping the ball for uk distribution across different lines
>>11230529Genuinely not worth the retail
>>11230115Best Transformers game to date. Better than what High Moon made. Platinum is best developer
>>11230489I think it's just because it's a cybertronian alt mode instead of an earth alt mode. That always seems to produce the most dogshit animal/vehicle forms.
>>11230532Eh?I like Devastation but it's not really as good as WfC/FoCa
>>11230533there have been plenty of wonderful robotic animal modes.. and good lord lots of shitty ones
>>11230534Yeah, but most shooting games just have you shoot things. Combat games are always more versatile because of all the combos and styles
>>11230538Devastation is not DMCV
>>11230481Nitro ZeusI hate bayformers but a Decepticon with a gold necklace is very amusing to me. Shame all his toys are shit, if they G1ized him I'd buy it instantly. Seeker with a shockwave head lol.
Turd of the year is back inhttps://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/282837?o=2
>>11230546>turd of the yearbut devastation op isn't even out yet
>>11230547and it won't be by this year now will it
>>11230542Just looked it up. It's amazing that they fucking skipped on BOTH his most recognizable features, the chain and the graffiti
>>11230548That doesn't even drop this yearIt's a STRONG contender of "Worst TF of 2025" alreadyIrredeemably dogshit
>>11230551You ok lil buddy
>>11230551that's not really the point, is itit can't be turd of (this) year, which was what BBTSanon was talking about
>>11230542Nitro zeus is a good one, I'd love for him to get chugified some day
>>11230554>>11230556Actual ESL Anons tonightHoly shitHe said SS86 was Turd of the year (it is)Anon here >>11230547 claimed Devestation Optimus isEven tho he's not out this yearSo Anon >>11230551 states that Devastation Optimus is a strong contender for "Worst of 2025" alreadyChrist actually dyslexic retards
>>11230560and that's logical to you
>>11230560You seem to think I'm participating in your little shitpost
>>11230546lol poorfag, it's a excellent figure and pretty fun to transform.
How would you pull off a Legacy Sari?
>>11230632a included TM sized figure of her child design because its cute and a Headmaster of her teen design that has a transtector that builds on it. Make up some lore shit that they used Headmasters tech to build her a body to help fight alongside the Autobots.
>>11230580Not even close. Maybe when they fix the issues it has, but that isn't likely. If something comes with an arm snapped off and a leg broken, I wouldn't call that excellent
>>11230649Damn, poor and unlucky! Mine is perfect, no flaws at all.
>>11230529Omegalock says there getting more stock in December but they are upcharging for it
>>11230542I want to say all the TLK voyagers were hitsI can't recall any misses
>>11230529Not really. I'm happy with the Takara release of Kingdom/ER Op I got back in 21/22.No need for an 86 ver.I'm hoping I can snag some good shit from BBTS despite their insane shipping costs.
Are Blokees any good? Really like the Sentinel Prime they have.
>>11230658I'm happy with the 86 as a purely cartoon version of him but I would like to see a better middle ground figure between the cartoon and the original toys designs, the ER is okay in that regard but I dislike the booty wheels, they need to figure something out with them, I'd like if they were still visible though to retain as many vehicle features as possible in robot mode.
>>11230542I used to use Siege Shackwave with a gold chain I bought from ebay as G1 Nitro Zeus
>>11230665The "classic" TFOne figures look really goodthe ones you posted look kind of average
Some of the recent Optimus releases and reveals have made me realize I did not properly appreciate SS38. I have not touched it one time since I got 112. 38 is objectively better looking. It only falls short in ankle articulation and the infamous exploding shins. Does anyone have the leg/foot upgrade kit for this guy? I think I need it, it will make this awesome figure perfect. In a couple ways it’s already better looking than it’s MPM counterpart.
Oh, that upgrade kit is long gone. Fantastic
I was eyeing the Studio Series Constructicons on Amazon just now. Why is Scrapper $35, but Bonecrusher is $25?
>>11230779One is Deluxe, one is Voyager
>>11230779Scrapper has more ratchet joints for stability when it’s a leg for Dev.
>>11230259lol starscream looks like an odd one out against all the purple
>>11230259"Megatron is stuck in alt mode! I, Starscream am now the leader of the Decepticons!"
>>11230126>>11230143Even though the truck mode is off and the axe sucks, I'll still defend this on the basis that it's the only G1 toon style Optimus in recent memory that doesn't fake the grill in bot mode, for that alone I respect it. Also it reminds me of Robotmasters Convoy, which I've always sorta liked despite its own jank
>>11230305>Good luck finding a Bombshell that doesn't cost a legYou have to be joking you can get him most places for $25 ish.
Hyrax transformer when?
>>11230871If some movie with one comes out and gets huge. They aren't going to make unpopular animals.
>>11230305He and Shrapnel are both being found at Ross for $8
>>11230259Did you try soaking Shockwave's parts in 91% alcohol or did you scrub the black paint off? It looks like the black stained the legs.
>>11230665Modern day action masters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMeTwSKjT0g
>>11230800That's good character design, if I knew nothing about any of these characters my eyes would zero right in on the red and I would (correctly) guess that in-universe, he's really the one to watch out for.
>>11230259Why is there a dog
>>11231147You fucking know why you're just looking for an excuse to whine about IDW again.
>>11231148Idw kino?
>>11231149Yes schizo, idw kino
>>11231149You touch kids ChungusPedo>>11231148I don’t even study IDW much just wondering why theres a Lego dog being mixed in
>>11231178Well okay. Basically Thundercracker becomes kind of a prisoner, kind of a defector in the war and hangs out with humans for a long time. They let him have a dog named Buster to keep him company and he basically learns empathy for organics that way.Thundercracker's thing was that he wasn't all in on the war in the first place and always had second thoughts. Eventually he got pulled back into the war, but I stopped reading IDW so idk what happened to Buster. I hope he lived.
>>11231181At best Buster died of old age, who knows what goes through some of the writers heads?
>>11231183one thing that's kind of common is that one writer writes in something they think is good and then another writer comes in and wants a clean slate or to do something for cheap shock value so they'll do shit like kill off a love interest/pet/whatever so they can "return to the status quo" and get some publicity out of it. That weird period between runs where everything gets upended so the next writer can do his own thing is one of the most frustrating parts of western comics, especially if the writer is a real fucking asshole with no respect for his predecessor.
>>11231147I didn't see the lego dog on thundercracker and I thought you were talking about fat fuck ravage kek
>>11231187Archie post Penders is a clear example of that, literally giving a lobotomy to Charmy was mean as fuck jesus man
>>11230636that kinda works actually
>>11230772sucks. those things are expensive in the first place and they disappear without any notice. sometimes they linger for years, other times just poof.
>>11230580>>11230651This thing is worse in every single way to ER and othersYou're coping and trolling
>>11230824torso is just too short is all. everything else is proportional. (tiny wheels aside)
>>11231191ditto
>>11231192That was kind of a forced hand situation, though.
I hate how they shafted my man
>>11231191Same
>>11231211I like how I shafted your man (tongue emoji)
>>11231200>This thing is worse in every single way to ERThe only thing worse than ER Optimus here is your eyesight.
>>11230546There's no way SS86 OP is Turd of the Year when Quake exists
>>11231192>>11231208Yeah Archie is a different story because the big changes were all external mandates. It was probably not the best idea to tard Charmy out instead of just magically de-aging him or something but shit like the Egg Grapes were all responses to the lawsuits and Sonic Team's sweeping new mandates, not malice on behalf of Ian and the new team. A lot of the team still hangs on to pre-Genesis Wave Archie, working on fan continuations and stuff. Ian's all but gone on record saying he's been trying his best for years now to get Archie to at least be acknowledged but Sonic Team is really bitter about it, so there's still a lot of love among the team for the old stuff.
>>11231243People are retarded about Quake he's really good in hand. Very solid and chunky and looks great in robot mode. Only real issue is the turret doesn't rotate but some tanks don't have rotating turrets either so it's not the biggest deal.
So what did Warden do anyway? Did he do engineering and sculpts or is that all Takara Tomy's guys?
>>11230934Yea I did. I like it more than the Bridge ver.
>>11231247>but some tanks don't have rotating turrets either so it's not the biggest dealYeah and those suck
>>11231247think it's only one sperg in these threads.
>>11231248The way I approximately understand it is that Hasbro is largely responsible for the initial work, like drawing up the proposals, and picking which characters will actually be made and how the lines will be populated along with wheeling and dealing any exclusivesThen Hasbro and Takara shoot design docs back and forth to each other, with Takara being more responsible for hammering the toys out into actual 3d objects
>>11231251Quake isn't even the worst in that wave so idk why he's got such a anti-hard on for him unless he's that guy who gasses up Titans Return all the time
>>11231267Who do you think turned out worse?
>>11231251>>11231247Just has the wrong colors and a shit altmode that gets mogged by a 40 year old toy, its not a big deal guys!
>>11231270>oh no he's not pink enough AAAAAA IM GOING INSANE>>11231268Easily Slipstream.
What the fuck are you supposed to do when you have most of the cool characters and the rest left are expensive glup shittos?
>>11231270Yeah but the robot mode looks way better in the new one
>>11231276Find your new favourite Glup Shitto>>11231270I mean, the new robot is better, a bit more generic but betterBut woof that new tank. Jesus Christ.
>>11231274>oh no he's not pink enoughOr blue or fucking grey>>11231281Thats the bare minimum and not even that much of a challenge.
>>11230580It's an ok figure held back by questionable engineering choices and no forward or backward ankle movement is a big flaw. I bought it and sold it due to it being so underwhelming
>>11231247>looks great in robot modeThe entire point of transformers is that they're more than just a robot. Both modes should look at least passable, something that Quake's tank mode fails to do. Selling him on "the robot mode looks great" is like trying to sell a house with a leaky roof with "but the walls are sturdy at least". Yeah, having sturdy walls is important, but it's equally important that the roof at least keeps water out. If a transformer's alt-mode isn't going to have any care put into it, it shouldn't be a transformer in the first place.
>>11231294>The entire point of transformers is that they're more than just a robot.tell that to tooners hun
>>11231295Shut up and don't use my posts as some kind of support for your obsessive hate boner.
Anybody made a good Skybound Optimus Megatron arm yet?
>>11231289>no forward or backward ankle movement is a big flawThat is reasonable and I agree, the head is also super limited in it's range. One thing that isn't super limited though is those shoulder joints, I love the faux butterfly joints and how due to the transformation you can even swivel them back a bit too, I think the arms and fun transformation are making it my favourite Prime figure I own.
>>11231301for 86*
>>11231274>Easily Slipstream.Yeah that mold is really wack, funnily the only part of it I like is the new loathed head, I quite like it.
>>11231298>Vehicle modes are important>BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF SUNBOW!L O L!
>>11231312You know what he means. You're always complaining about the same things every thread.
>>11231295Quake wasn't in the cartoon.
>>11231322No I have no fucking clue what you're talking about because everyone isn't the same person you mentally ill retard
>>11231289Personally I was just really hoping he'd be more bendy. I think he looks really good despite the few missteps but he barely moves above average sans those amazing butterflies. I don't expect yamaguchi tier but I really think they could've spent that budget on more than adding a billion steps to his transformation, not that that's even inherently a bad thing.
I think both are neat
>>11231332A ab crunch would be really cool, but I'm not sure how they would implement it due to how the transformation uses the pelvis, not much to work with there.
>>11231303Yeah, he looks good, don't get me wrong. I thought he had butterfly joints in his shoulders? It's been a minute since I sold him but I'm pretty sure, they clip in pretty good>>11231332That was my hopes, I went in without reviews and for the price it costs in Canada land (139.99 ugh) I only spent 6 dollars more for a MP scaled OP at a LCS>third partyThere is an official Sunstreaker in the pic.
>>11231243This thing is a sinIt's so god damn atrocious in every single way that it's insultingBut Prime beats it because he's $90 god damn Dollars + Tax + Shipping + TipIt's insane people unironically think either are good and not a total scam
>>11231247THERE HE IS
>>11231370You can have problems with Prime, that fineBut this post reads like a malding poorfag wrote it
>>11231374>"Lol malding poorfag">After he spent the $110+ on the scam primeYou're god damn retarded and a total shill cock sucker for even using "Poorfag" in this instanceGet fucked
>>11231373What in the fuck are you talking about schizo
>>11231376I don't even have oneI'm also not the one getting upset over it
>>11231386>"I don't own it, I just hardcore sack huff them and defend it for free just fucking because"Genuine mental illness
>>11231388I didn't defend it, I just insulted youThere's a difference
Recently got something I've had my eye on for some time, never thought I'd be able to get it for as reasonable of a price as I did.He's a fun little guy and works great in my micromaster collection.Sucks that the Q-Transformers mobile game is unplayable, I really would have liked to try that.
>>11231247>some tanks don't have rotating turrets eitherTrue, but the problem with Quake is that the type of tank he's modeled after DOES have a rotating turret, and even if that weren't the case, fixed turret tanks still have barrels that can move slightly from side to side. The new Quake has neither capability while the original toy did.
>>11231401Also got Core Galvatron the other day.He's very fun, and his alt mode is more fun than I thought it would be. Thinking about painting his tank-sword, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. His arm articulation leaves a lot to be desired but I understand that it's the best it can be at this size and budget.
