>>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
>>11231386>"I don't own it, I just hardcore sack huff them and defend it for free just fucking because"Genuine mental illness
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.
>>11231337Ab crunch and better head up are things I really wish would become standard, they're really simple joints that add so much

>>11231370>$90 figure where the worst issues are that the first run had a misassembled part and $90 being a bit much for what's basically a Leader class figure plus a bunch of large accessoriesversus>$25 figure where the colors don't match the original toy at all, the alt-mode is an after thought that barely hides the robot mode bits and doesn't even look like a tank, and the only thing remotely decent about the figure is the TargetmastersQuake is still far worse.
>>11230665Picked one up on a whim. Got Prowl. They scale shockingly well with OG GI Joes (see pic).Kind of shocked that Starscream isn't in the assortment. Or that Prime is the rare/chase figures not red headed step kids Ratchet and Bluestreak.
Thoughts on this guy as a G1 Nitro Zeus stand in? Would give him some shitty gold plated bracelet too as his necklace lol.

>>11231656No, you can easily get it cheaper than that. Amazon had it for like $29 for Prime Day last month.
>>11231656Yes, buy it so they can announce the Devastation version (new mold)

Do they make Transformer socks or pins or key rings or something smaller that can fit into a stocking as a present for someone into Transformers? Last year, I got some BluRays and dark chocolate bars for this person but I would like to get something more toy-like - or clothes. I saw some ugly ass wallets at a Ross, and some cheap looking baseball caps at GameStops but need to probably order something online.

I still think Bays 1st movie is the best movie in the franchise & the designs are some of the best in the franchise
I still want Studio Series Barricade without clear plastic.

>>11231370Ah so the cost itself is how you range quality rather than the toy itself out right.I wager you are over your 30s, perhaps even in your 40s and still live off mom and dad's provisions to value "turd of the year" on such a midwit level as cost >>11231243That thing is so baffling to me on several levels.
>>11231370>>11231376Question: when did spending $100 become expensive?
GT's Meg when? game is trash, but this tank looks alright
>>11231940when to object you're spending for should be 40
>>11231946Bro there hasn't been a TF priced right for $40 since Revenge of the Fallen which was 12 years ago and that's accunt5ing for inflation (ie it actually cost $60ish) I think it's why anon accused people taking issue with the cost, if you have stable income you are likely clearing 5k+ a month at a minimum and with how few TFs come out nothing really has the means to break the bank. Only way this makes sense is if you are either underage/grandpa aged fucker with a mediocre paying job (fast food,Grocery, retail or something like a parking lot/Hotel attendant/security) or you are a manchild living off parents still with said mediocre job. Shit can be overpriced and you can make that a reason you don't buy it but to then think the whole thing is shit for it is just projecting how sour grapes you are.
>>11231948Anon, RotF was 15 years ago...
>>11231756If this is happening to you then you are handling this toy like fucking lenny handling baby rabbits
>>11231656For 39 you should definitely pop for it. Do not listen to the retards here, they are brain damaged. Blitzwing is a fun hefty toy, great in the hand.
>>11231974>People are braindamaged for thinking the alt modes are shit?
So, finally pulled the trigger on Savage Noble/"Beast Changer". He's a character I've wanted since I was a kid (my parents never got him for me, sadly), and I've been putting off tracking him down until now. Also grabbed a Night Viper, since someone posted him here recently and I thought he looked cool.Anyway, Savage Noble is pretty cool, if a bit weird - his whole thing on the show was that he was entirely organic with no cybernetic components whatsoever (unlike the Maximals in BM, who were cyborgs). Thus, he shapeshifts from one organic creature to another - in his case, his Savage form is a Lindwurm dragon (a long, snakelike dragon with arms, wings, and a tail but no rear legs from European mythology) while his equivalent of a 'robot mode', Noble, becomes a werewolf-looking thing. Both of his forms are unusual, considering he's basically Megatron's cast-offs - while the dragon half makes some sense, it's the wrong species of dragon (TM2 Megatron was a Western dragon and had all four limbs), while to this day I still have no rationalization for where the wolf mode came from. Despite the odd concept behind him, the toy itself is pretty fun - both of his arms have plenty of articulation and his thumb claws can be moved forward, letting him grab and hold things. He also has two gear-driven gimmicks, with the one available in Savage form being his snapping jaws, which open when you press a button on the left side of his (eyeless) head. Sadly, his wings are static.Night Viper is also great, despite his rather clunky appearance in snake mode. He's a Basic-class character - the smallest size class of the Beast machines line - but still packs a lot of articulation thanks to all the extra joints in his robot legs, which become his snake body in beast mode. He also has a springloaded function I didn't know about until after he was already in-hand - pressing the yellow marking on his frill makes his snake head lunge forward and jaws pop open.
>>11231989"Robot" modes. Technically, as Noble, you're supposed to detach the wings and set them aside for a show-accurate appearance, but I'm not a fan of partsforming. He pulls off a pretty good werewolf mode otherwise, and I love the way his color scheme shifts from red to blue; I just wish they put more effort into hiding his dragon head, which just kinda hangs off his back. In this mode, his second gimmick can be used - sliding his unique Spark Crystal (which is a blend of both the Vehicon and Maximal symbols) up unlocks a mechanism in his right arm, and moving the flap on his back makes it spin around; his clear chest reveals all the gears involved in the mechanism, which is cool but odd, because again - he's supposed to be entirely organic. His wolf jaw can open, and he seems to be missing an insert in his head that was supposed to have his eyeballs, though according to Google this is a thing on ALL copies of him. Whatever the case, his eye sockets are completely empty, which is a bit creepy.Night Viper turns into a really lanky snake man. His transformation is surprisingly simple (again, he's just a Basic), but clever - the bulk of it involves the sides of his snake hood hiding his robot hands, while his legs are threaded through his pelvis and lock in place; you can leave his legs in their snake mode to turn him into a Naga, if you want, which is neat. He has a flip-out blade in his right arm cover and his Spark Crystal is hidden in his left, though early concept art shows he was supposed to have another weapon on that side as well.For all of its weirdness, Beast Machines had some genuinely cool designs (and a few creepy ones), and these two are pretty great even by modern standards. I'm thrilled to finally have Savage Noble, and Night Viper turned out to be surprisingly fun for a guy I didn't even know existed until recently. Haven't quite decided which side I'm putting by dragon-dog on, though, considering he was both an enemy and ally on the show.
>>11231974Blitzwing has the same problem as Quake, dude, just not quite as bad. The robot mode is great (aside from the limited shoulder range), but the tank and especially the jet mode just look bad. Transformers are more than just their robot mode.
>>11231741>>This ugly as fuck designIt is literally just G1 Blitzwing.

/tfg/'s thoughts on TJOmega?
>>11232079You are not making a good case for yourself anon.
>>11232111He shall become a troon soon
>>11231515Cool, now you just need to fix the rest of it.
>>11231515>spend even more money on such a garbage figure to "fix" a issue with the toy Do people just hate themselves? >>11232111/tfg/ is like 5 people anon, you might as well ask some random person on the street.
>>11231401Q-Transformers were so fun. It sucks that so many of them are super expensive on the aftermarket now. I especially like the ones that got cool new licensed alt modes. Toyota Crown Shockwave and Lamborghini Megatron make such a great duo.
>>11231894Whats wrong with Bays movies? Please enlighten me
>>11231894Better than anything Idw ever made
>>11232128Why are there so many youtubers trooning out?
>>11232128You've been saying that for years
>>11232152Nothing, he's our resident contrarian.
>>11232140>/tfg/ is like 5 people anonBack when the IP counters were still a thing, we'd average about 20-25 unique IPs per thread.The thing is, the majority of posters here are in their late 30's/early 40's - most of us are from before YouTubers and E-Celebs were a thing and just don't pay attention to them. I, for one, have no idea who that person is that anon is asking about, and don't particularly care, either.
>>11232215>we'd average about 20-25 unique IPs per thread.That isn't any better than 5 in terms of scope. Even if that 30 IPs was all legit with no double dipping from reset IPs and what not that is still a very small amount of people. There are Youtube vids about toys that clear triple that so it seems strange to ask these kinds of questions here And I feel most are like you don't care and most of these generals are just one lonely anon posting a lot of shit to make it seem more lively than what it is.And I wish he stop because I feel most would help each other out and comment more like in the other slow generals here where you don't have some idiot mucking everything up.
So, anyone try any of those Blokees things yet?
>>11231656Honestly my one of my favourite TFs of the last couple of years.-Really poseable for a big lad and a nice heft-Love the transformation-Very satisfying tank that actually rolls unlike other recent tanks-The actual details of the jet are really nice, and I like to fold out the little robot mode wings in jet mode and swoosh it around like some sort of chonky X-wing-esque flying fortress thing-VERY nice purple and silver
>>11230126The grill being legitimate after like 20 years of a faux piece is really cool. Shame its costs have been so clearly shaved but I might grab it just for that novelty.
>>11232221>DES>PA>CITO
>>11232215I remember it being more in the 70-90 rangeThat is to say /tfg/ is probably about 100 people
>>11232145Yeah that Shockwave looks nice. There's something about Shockwave having a car alt mode that works better than it should. The Binaltech/Alternators one looks great as well.
>>11232152Loud, stupid, visual messes that are embarrassed of their source material and completely fail at being watchable movies. Robots that look like amorphous heaps of scrap metal. Stories that focus on stupid, annoying humans. "Entertainment" for the intellectual equivalent of paraplegics.>>11232160When did I say anything nice about IDW

>>11232302The shoulderpads are suffering from its most common issue so they won't stay up so they stay like that. The knee pads look better like that.
>>11231660>>11231741Theres no POTP Blitzwing you filthy casuals, it was a T30 figure, 3 years older than POTP. That mold was fucked for the forced Animated face gimick.
>>11232346Animated face?
>>11232346Anon, the face(s) are the least of that toy's problems
Yeah this looks great
>>11232346I meant the tr one
>>11232356The gimmick made it have undersized faces and an oversized helmet, that made the oversized head get stuck into the nosecone.While the awful looking head with tiny faces wasn't the worst issue, it was an issue you'd notice from far on the shelf, you need to have him in hand to notice the shitty shoulder connection.
Unicron
Or Primus?
>>11232331yeah I was gonna say the knees look better than I remember
>>11232360Big hands
>>11231921>>11231940You're coping>>11231970YOU are trolling It's a known issue from standard play and transformationthis is NOT a "Hamhands" issueYou're an inbred rock chewer and being retarded and trolling on purposeChoke on your own spit already
>>11231944This is literally the old Robots in Disguise Deluxe is it not?Same Top design, Side Pods and Treads nearlyThat Shockwave is a worse FoC too
Found a gamer barricade going for a really deep discount, but i heard a lot of shit about the articulation, anyone got one to say how bad it really is?
>>11232397He is TERRIBLE. His elbows and knees only barely reach 45 degrees of articulation, his feet are slanted so posing him is almost impossible, his backpack badly impedes any and all arm range and he's badly prone to falling back.There's upgraded feet you can buy to fix the foot-related problems, but you need to print them yourself and it involves knocking out pins.Really, just don't bother with him, he's not worth it.
>>11232397Look at it. Look at the picture you searched for, downloaded, and uploaded to your post. Look at it. There's no information that cannot be gleaned by looking at it.
>>11230115Anybody else getting just a bit sick and tired of Optimus Prime at this point?
>>11232239That's still really bad but also consider how many anons live in areas where the IP refresh daily. It's clear no one is really here however. Just a clown honking at himself. A lot.
>>11232422We need Optimus to take different designs than the usual like machine wars or general OP
>>11230126CHPS strikes again
>>11232296Brawn?
>Never going to own Computron until a new one gets made and people foolishly sell their CW setsHow are there no Computron bootlegs what the fuck>>11232296Brawn, as previously suggested, would fine but my love of the weird colorful sci-fi stuff of '86 and beyond compels me to me to recommend Blurr. Come on, all his friends are already there.
>>11232474I own UW Computron and honestly it's kinda shit. Granted the CW one is worse but still.
>>11232502The optimal Computron is CW arms, UW legs and torso, but good luck making that up if you didn't get them both at the time.
Actually now I think about it CW torso is probably the better deco.
>>11232474CW Computron is alright but I would never pay for what hes going for now
>>11232346The animated face gimmick was a great addition if your QC was fine. And even if the face gimmick was broken you don't even need to use it. The shoulder joints on the other hand being unable to properly tab in is leagues more egregious.
>>11232562nyoh my godlooking at this.. i'm realizing what the perfect way to do an ideal combinerone guy makes up the upper arm, maybe both upper arms, then two smaller guys make the lower arms and hands.They can lay one guy's leg over another guy's leg, that leaves each of them the legmeat to keep turning into other arm-parts. and it wouldn't require a gap because they are basically scissoring.
>>11231736They have done some, though most are retools.
>>11232562But the UW one runs rings about it. I don't know what Hasbro was thinking with Lightspeed.
>>11232613I like the base mold for Hasbro Lightspeed better, but yeah, I don't get why they added so much white to him either, modified mine to look closer to the OG toy.>>11232562That set was missing a ton of remolding, but I like its colors better. I went with the UW set at first but later hunted the CW set piece by piece, took me a few years to get all the bots for decent prices.
What official Arcee is the closest to being sexo that I could buy? >>11232296The one in this pic has a tummy that really gets the neurons stirring. There one better than it? What is this one?
>>11232634The japanese version of that, it has the backside tong painted. Also the flametoys model kit, its an official product.
>>11232634Its the thrilling 30 one I think. They got pretty good mileage outta it & I still think it holds up
>>11232474>how are there no computron bootlegsYou’re in luck, there are two being madeOne legend scale and one MP scalePic related is the legend scale
>>11232673>I'm so funny I called the 3p a bootlegThat's not what I meant and you know it, retard
>>11232676No he's right the retards ITT constantly use "bootleg" to mean 3p. It's not his fault he just assumed you were retarded.
>>11232676>>11232682bootleg (affectionate) vs bootleg (derogatory)
>>11232589Theres this 3p Computron that does that "one bot form both arms" thing, hes an original take on the character, I imagine this is what a combiner would look on the Universe-Classics days, back when hasbro tried new things.
>>11232696that's splitting in half, though, right? not Daizyujin style where it forms a bit of backplate that connects the two arms
>>11232696>>11232700either way, very cool. neat little vehicles, especially that car. the motorcycle's a bit weak.and the name Computron just wants me to see him fight Scantron and Humidibot.
>>11232676You cunts always flip flop on what you call 3P
Do you guys recommend Swoop? I wasn't sure about collecting the dinobots but I saw him on sale so maybe
>>11232737i think the dinobots are irredeemably goofy but if you like em, I think people are generally cool with this line.. or if not, then another that was released at the same time.
>>11232737I don't have him, but his alt. mode looks like shit from what I've seen
>>11232643Do you think goth arcee is into chastity and bbc bros
>>11232746That Arcee is trans so probs both
Since hasbro wont give me a sparkplug to go with legacy armada prime, and I dont want to pay 40+ for one on ebay, this little guy will have to do. >>11232642>>11232643I will look into the JP release and consider getting it then, or the flametoys one. Seems pretty nice.
Has MP01 aged well?
>>11232760Nope
Imagine DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime in Ultra Magnus colors.
>>11232778Man I wanted this so bad when I was a kid
Achai head is pretty damn sweet. Might add another coat of gloss to it.
>>11232628Your repaint looks better. Hasbro's looks nothing like Lightspeed.I keep trying to figure out someone else to repurpose that figure into.
>>11232737only get the ones that can combine to form volcanicus
>>11232031>>11232368This is the best version of him and it's so hard to findYet a complete normal Cybertron one is like $30 tops
>>11232925If he wants the second shittiest Dinobots imaginable, then yes.
>>11232760It's still a fun figure in the same way G1 figures are charming. It was the state of the art back then, and you can see the love and care that was put into it. I still display mine and take it off the shelf to play with every now and then. It's a little too hefty for it's own good in robot mode, but I still think the truck mode is one of the nicest renditions of the flat-nose we've ever gotten. The gimmicks are still fun too, and they're very unobtrusive, which is a bit surprising and admirable given where the franchise as a whole was at during that period. Does it hold a candle to the collector focused figures we're accustomed to nowadays? Not really. But as a piece of history that arguably started that focus on collectors, it's aged just fine.
>>11232956Don't be gay
>>11232964Volcanicus is gay. Not every G1 subgroup needs to be a combiner and the toy that results from that combination is fucking TERRIBLE
>>11232905i dont like there being any gray above the eyes. is that dumbtarded?
>>11232973Nah it's pretty great.
>>11232975Usually their eyes don't end just below the helmet. That's how it's supposed to look, with some space between.
>>11232979all of the non legacy combiners in combiner wars were junk even Victorion who was just a tranny Defensor.
>>11232987Victorion sucked because she used 2 helicoptors and no hulk woman Rook.
>>11232987Looks based
>>11232984hmmit just don't seem right to me.
>>11232987>>11232987
>>11233001
>>11230653Never bought from them before and upcharging seems scummy as fuck from a group. Do they have any sort of track record or reputation?
>>11232999those are helmets, protective accessories, not part of their faces.Moreover perspective plays a role too

>>11230126I don't know why but this looks like some kind of legends/core scaled figure instead of a deluxe.
debating if I wanna wait for the SS86 Grimlock rerelease in October next year or just grab a used one from a local seller for like 10 usd over msrp
>>11233366Get the shattered glass one
>>11233391nah, I want a proper G1 grimlock, he's also out of stock everywhere I can get him and not worth the aftermarket prices
So I managed to get a cheap DK-2, and you know what? I like him. He's not perfect, the shield is a bit unwieldy and the vehicle mode is carried hard by the black deco, but his robot mode is actually a lot of fun, and IMO at least looks cool. He's my CHUG Ironhide rep for now.
>>11233450Even the vehicle mode is alright, though I do want to print (or buy pre-made) one of the foot upgrades for him. Yeah, the black deco definitely hides a multitude of sins but, I dunno, he works!
>>11233270They are mainly for 3P options, exclusives or masterpiece really in the UK. For those things there pricing is quite good but for mainline stuff they always sell it at a premium for some reason. I'd say its a last resort if you can't find it anywhere else, the price is better than ebay by far but still high.

>>11232975>>11232984It's true that there should be some space there, but that head looks off due to the thin ridge on top of his face, that should be covered by the helmet. Check MP44, that's how the forehead is supposed to look.
>>11233586I don't remember Victorion's color scheme being part of the poll, contrary to Wingblade. But maybe I'm misremembering.
>>11233588it was https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Victorionhttps://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fan_pollsand people voted for Cyan/red/white
>>11233588It's in most archives and wikis. It was the last poll which forced 3 color choices, Blue/cyan/tan, Orange/grey/blue, Cyan/red/white They apparently had a lot more make character fan polls plan like this but the team shifted to Characters and that fucked them over hard with the Prime poll and they stupidly put choices on the list they didn't want to make and didn't expect to win. You don't do that shit. ever. Hell they admitted that's why did vs for Siege and again, the one they thought would win (Needlenose Vs Tracks) lost to another one they doubted anyone would want (Impactor Vs Mirage), which fucked up their disruption because they already had both planed in the main waves and for other exclusives. I only rant this because I don't get why they got away from the very popular "vote a new robot to be made" over themes they kept trying to rig for a certain outcome.
I want a leader class toy of him.
>>11233601Looking at TFP toys in legacy, do you really want him?
>>11233606skyquake/dreadwing were cool.
>>11233601you know it'll be a commander class with all of the weaponizer junk tacked on top to jack up the price
>>11233671What do you mean? Beast Hunter Optimus doesn't come apart at all
>>11233675I'm saying that hasbro will totally jew out and sell a leader sized prime optimus as a commander and throw a bunch of shit from either the weaponizer toy or the beast hunter one to justify the markup.
>>11233569What exactly is Trickdiamond covering with that towel? It's not like she (or any of the others) wears clothing at all or has anything to hide. Even BW/BM characters don't bother covering up, and they canonically DO have bits that might be worth getting self conscious about.
>>11233893Doesn't Trickdiamond canonically have an asshole in the one Legends panel
>>11233467Cheers anon, appreciate it. I'm considering it as smyths can't make their mind up about stock, but if indemand's official statement is true and not them covering their own asses then we're about a month or more behind on restocks which means smyths and other independents might just come in with 86 OP and others in december. tempting, but always a bitch to overpay slightly, especially for an already expensive thing
>>11233583I recall all the deco options on the fan vote sucked, still Hasbro did a last minute change so the deco worked better with the voted origin, "Sea of rust". So the vibrant red and teal that were voted became green and orange rust.
>>11233922Thats the screw holding the hips in place, all the versions of the mold have it.
>>11233893>He doesn't know about the TDiamond H video Octane and Tigatron produced.
>>11233893>Even BW/BM characters don't bother covering up, and they canonically DO have bits that might be worth getting self conscious about.Speaking of which, how many female Maximals were there in the Beast Machines line? Was it just Blackarachnia?
>>11234025Just her, not sure if cartoon only Botanica counts.
>>11234036I swear there were more. I remember hearing talks about repainting the unicorn into a character from The Horse Show for botcon, but I thought we had a few others.
>>11234039Going by their profiles, closest thing is Geckobot.https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beast_Machines:_Transformers_(toyline)
Do you guys think the Fossilizers are worth getting?
>>11233893rattrap did talk about topless bars where the waitresses don't wear chassis and you could see their bare transistors..
>>11234063i only have transmutate and i don't recommend her (though it seems you can do cool things with two of them combined)the plug and hole combinations are not all equal, and there aren't nearly enough options for orienting pieces.
>>11234063They're ok on their own (better than the failed rocklords), but you need at least 3 to make cool combinations, you can skip the non partsforming core class.
>>11234067oh wait i also have tricranius. he's fine, decent design, ribcage a little shallow (which is even worse on the mammoth partial reuse of that mold), but one of his hands is a stub, and not even a stub you could put a blast effect in.
>>11234039There's Sonar, who was made female by comic eriters since her profile lacked pronouns.
>>11234100Thats from Transmetal, OP was asking from beast machines.
>>11233366Pay the slightly over retailWorth it
>>11234093SKIP VERTEBREAK?!
>>11234155i am tempted by her pretty often. it's the skinny dumb legs that turn me off. and i don't want the neon green one because it's neon green.. how would I explain that? nuclear shit on ancient earth? one of scorponok's experiments?
>>11234157Get the original. She's a cute little bone girl who needs a home.
whats the next masterpiece beast wars character?I know they're apparently rebranding the masterpiece series, but have no idea if the beast wars line will continueI'd hope for Airazor but also expect to wait a few years for her
>>11234196Rebranding to MPG hasn't really meant anything yetAll they've announced since doing it are some diaclone and shattered glass repaints
>>11234155Yes, the toy doesn't look as good as that drawing.
>>11234166if i see her on sale enough
>>11234196Ratrap according to rumors.
>>11234226shoulder sisters <3
>>11234295it'll be interesting to see what they can manage at that scale. his transformation cheats a fair bit. they were able to push it slightly with rhinox and tigatron, but chances are one mode or the other will be as compromised as cheetor's beast mode, and then some. I'm not sure we'll be able to get the forearm bomb compartment, that might have to be a swap-out part.
>>11234300On one hand the underside of the rat would definitely be compromisedOn the other hand him walking around on his hind legs is such a feature in the show that Takara would no doubt include specific joint work to let you replicate it
>>11230143Optimus has worse toys that cost more, I don't see the big deal about that one.
>>11234328Good gravy! He's naked!
>>11233991The funny part is the deco is laid out backwards from how the voting made people thought it was going to be.
>>11234307man I hadn't even thought of that. he's gonna definitely have a belly plate and it's going to make his oversized backpack even bigger. there's just no way around it.i think when animation models cheat, it's okay for toys to cheat. give us partsforming, just not CRAZY partsforming.. or at least, give the option.
>>11234328that is an extremely stupid truck mode but it's gotta be mistransformed, right? the feet pokin up, there's grooves behind them.
>>11234350Yeah, the feet should be down, and the chest windows on the back should be on the sides covering the arm attachment points. It should also be noted that it's really intended to be attached to the super mode backpack to form a full firetruck thing.
>>11234354That thing looks nothing like a firetruck.
>>11234339All these options suck, A could work if the light tan was white.
>>11234350Oh no, the feet fit into different grooves
>>11234355actually it kinda does. the length of the cab is very firetrucky.
>>11234358Huffer's giant woman sister might work, but who knows how Hasbro would have actually laid it out.
>>11234355That's why I said "firetruck thing". All the UT designs are fictional futuristic vehicles, Cybertron Optimus has siren lights and his big guns are styled to look somewhat like a firetruck's ladder, hence "firetruck".
>>11234355>>11234354>That thing looks nothing like a firetruck.Wasn't that a line in the show?
>>11234362Worst vehicle mode ever. People will just eat up any slop.
>>11234362oh wow the feet are mistransformed here too.>firetruck with gigantic fucking cannons, and they fold down into wingsthat is so stupid and badass and stupid and wonderful
>>11234354>>11234367Actually, I was wrong. I just got mine out, and the feet do actually just do that. You can't fold them down. What looks like grooves for them are actually much thinner and used for the hinges that move the super mode feet.
>>11234372ohhhh weird.
>>11234361I like the idea of a unified color like Devy, but they should've gone with a Splendid Convoy homage.
>>11234383You can't homage something from the futureSplendid's just Sakamoto repurposing an obscure old toy
>>11234386Female Prime was a thing on 2015, but yeah I forgot Splendid came later than the set.
So are there any good things from Wal-Mart? I got a general purpose coupon in the mail.
>>11234383what if all dif colors but the arms match and the legs match?
>>11234394depends what you're into, but they certainly have transformers.nobody that i currently want, but right now that's because i have every released toy that i want. which is a WEIRD feeling. i'm frequently considering buying up cheap used ones to paint as new guys so i get that thrill of a new character.
>>11234362Kino
>>11234401honestly it really doesn't suck, this one. i've never been into trucks, but this works.
>>11234328>>11234350Now post the trailer
>>11234421aside from the gap in the back, that looks really cooli don't suppose the guns can fold down into that space or something
>>11234427No but you could rotate them so they're covering the sidesLeaves a little space in the middle tho
>>11234421Wow it's fucking nothing. Still trash a trash alt mode.
>>11234300>I'm not sure we'll be able to get the forearm bomb compartmentI know the generations toy included them, but wasn't that only used in his Transmetal body?
man, were practically swimming in Optimus' nowadays
>>11234155Can she be used in combinations?
I think I'm going to get Armada Megs nowhttps://youtu.be/10IA98Xb6k4?si=qLlN_iOwEokt3VGi
>>11234503Officially, no. She's not a Fossilizer - she doesn't come apart like the others do. She also only has a single 5mm port on her whole body, which is the hole her tail plugs into.Still, she and her sister Dracodon are neat little Core class characters with lots of charm and good articulation, so they're worth picking up even if they aren't combiners.
My Quake arrived early, yay!
>>11234473naw it was only his regular body i think. he used it against tarantulas in like, the second episode.the generations toy compromised a bit too, i'm not sure MP could do it at least the same way.
>>11234526Well? Post some pics! That's kinda the point of this whole board, after all.
>>11234530I promise to do it tomorrow. It's freezing and I'm toasty in my bed.
>>11234529>naw it was only his regular body i think. he used it against tarantulas in like, the second episode.I was thinking of the moment he uses one to blow up Ravage's ship, but he just takes the bomb from his back.
>>11234458>Shit taste from a baby that just discovered Galaxy Convoy existedNot surprising.
>>11234526>Buying that turdLmao
Alpha Trion is $15 on Amazon right now.I kind of want him but at the same time I think I would rather just get a Beast Wars toy I dont have yet
>>11234226>liked this Grimlcok enough to get it>never found SS86>put PotP Grimlock in a bin somewhere>whenever I see pics of him, he still looks as good as the day we first metI swear it's as if he's a good toy for his time, although I'd love the S886
>>11234573Hey, shit toys are ok when Optimus does it, see >>11234561Just name it Quake Convoy and all sins are forgiven
>>11234226>>11234594Never seen him before but i like how barrel-bodied he is. He has a reliable dad-bod sort of vibe to him. I'd ask him for help with my car/10 :)
>>11234681>Grimlock: "Me Grimlock great mechanic!" >Prowl: "Grimlock, that hurts! And I don't need fixing!" >Grimlock: "Me Grimlock know that."I really need to get a car bot that isn't cybertronian.
>>11234063I passed on the entire set @ $10 each and I regret it and get upset every time they get brought up. Been looking for a deal on em and they rarely come up for sale locally. Seems like a lot of people enjoy them.
>>11234768Bbts seems to always have them on sale
>>11234600Seething as he typed this lmao
>>11234573>xhe's STILL seething after being btfo
>>11234768That's basically my story as well. Although we never got Wingfinger here for some reason. So now i'm hunting them down all around the internet.
>>11234530NTA but here's mine. I like him! Picked up him and Slipstream about a month ago.
>>11235173And here's Slipstream.
>>11235173>>11235175Now combine them
>>11235179But they aren't designed for that! It is forbidden!
>>11235203>only limiting yourself to what the ancient manuals say you can or can't do1986 was 90 years ago anon, it's time to actually have fun with you're toys
>>11235175how good is slipstream, i kinda want one and she's the only option that doesn't cost a kidney
>>11235179>>11235203Yeah sure why not.>>11235216Anon are you autistic? That poster was obviously joking with you.
>>11235223Honestly I like her a lot although I really wanted her to be a normal seeker mode at first. But I warmed up to her, she's really pretty in person.If you don't like the Windblade mold, you won't like this version of it either. But if you liked Windblade (I thought she was ok), Slipstream is better.
>>11235224>That poster was obviously joking with you.>1986 was 90 years ago anonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQxhf8zcd6s
>>11235228>my corny exaggeration about the date is the same as thinking that anon was seriousOk faggot.Anyway Quake's tank mode is hilariously small. Here he is getting mogged by a dune buggy.
>>11235233>Ok faggot.But but I was joking too anon D:>my corny exaggeration about the date is the same as thinking that anon was serious>going along with forbiddenness by citing ancient manuals as the thing doing the forbiddingYes
>>11235173>>11235175>>11235224>>11235233>He bought BOTH TurdsWild
>>11235236And? I like them, faggot. Name the last TF you bought and the next one you're looking forward to and let the rest of us judge your taste.It better not be some bullshit like the last few SS86 releases...
>>11235235Lol, you weren't though.
>>11235239But I was?>anon is in my mind and knows for a fact when I was joking and when I wasn'tGet out get out get out get out get out get out
>>11235236Most Transformers are crap. As long as you have enjoyment, is probably okay to buy.
>>11235236Wonder what the great Quake Convoy did to upset this poor fool
>>11235238Unironically SS BB Movie SkywarpI wish he had more black but I really like the mold. One I'm looking forward too? Probably Legacy Armada Wheeljack. I get he's the same Sideswipe Mold but he was always going to be that and I don't see an issueIt's a genuinely great mold
>>11235224Still more aerodynamic than Legacy Blitzwing.
>>11234328Meanwhile, RID01 Optimus just turns into this.
>>11235332. . . and thanks to the the otherwise useless mini-wheel on the gun that store near the front bumper, can still functionally roll!
I just like the little guyEven if the pegs on his cannons are a bit shallow
>>11235432yeah weapon handles have become a real issue with the universal 5mm thing. they can never be long, which.. lots of things need them to be long.
>>11235332Difference is that with the trailer he becomes a real world fire truck. Cybertron is a lump of shit hauling a bunch of trash.
>>11235462it's a lump of scifi shit hauling a bunch of cool scifi shit with two big cannons and then it folds out into wings. sounds cool to me
>>11235462Low test post
So do you think they'll just never release a non-translucent plastic/no battle damage version of Earthrise Hoist?
>>11235223She's not bad. Contrary to some opinions here, I actually like that she's not using the same boring F-15 Seeker mold. My only real issue with her is that you can't mount her Null Rays to her shoulders. Yeah, I know there's an upgrade kit that fixes it, but you really shouldn't have to rely on 3rd parties to figure out what Hasbro should have just done from the start.
>>11235476why is it all this underjunk bothers me more than it does on a jetformer
>>11235500Hey, man - you don't just start talkin' about another 'bot's underjunk like that.
>>11235500Because jets don't move on the floor so undercarriage isn't that bad, this almost looks like it'd scrape against the floor when driving.
>>11235510you are completely right, but i must point out that if a truck has shit scraping the ground, it just wastes fuel. if a jet has shit scraping the air, it can like, not fly. and then fall and then you die. at least if a truck runs out of gas, it just stops.
>>11235510They do though.
>>11235528yes yes but the underjunk on jetformers has wheels on it
>Henkei Warpath is clunky and outdated>but still really really really funHow did they do it?
>>11235261you really latch on to your own shit memes, don't you?
>>11235646It's strange how desperate that anon is to make this place seem bigger than what it is.
>>11235646>>11235697Must be the "Tooner" spammer trying again.
>>11232111Better than most, mf needs an editor because his top or rankings had shitty images, needs to do more reviews too
>>11235236(you) are the only turd here, anon.
>>11235781>you're the only dumb nigger still trying to pretend it's one person.>everyone who disagrees with me is the same person
>>11230126Proof you don't need a fake truck grill to fulfill making a g1 accurate transformable optimus prime. And this shit was done at a deluxe price point where as multiple voyagers and leaders skip doing this. The commander class figure, despite me liking it, especially has zero excuses for this.
>>11235955It isn't accurate to the G1 cartoon so it doesn't have an accurate robot mode chest.
>>11235968Devastation optimus is literally just the toon optimus in 3D. There's barely a difference.
>>11235968And the SS86 prime has an inaccurate robot mode head that's aping the stylized MP-10 figure so your excuse?
>>11235972That true Optimus Prime has never been tried.
>>11235972MP10's head isn't stylized
>>11236026No.
>>11236070Now I know what it is that's bugged me about MP44, they put too much emphasis on the bill of his cap
>>11236070I feel like comparison pics like these need to have multiple cartoon screencaps because characters basically never look the same in any 2 shots.
>>11236070>Implying the cartoon is consistent enough to give a shit about precise lineworkTooners are deranged.
>>11236070aha! his under-brow-area IS colored blue sometimes!
>>11236070why does it say prime instead of convoy
Anyone here familiar with 3d pens? I know you can print cool little models of weapons for your transformer but would it be possible to just do that with a 3d pen instead?Or hell, even making pegs for other toy weapons so they fit into a transformer's hand?
>>11236265Prime is English for Convoy.
>>11236271but it says prime in katakana
>>11236268>cool models with a 3d pennot without really careful planning, sanding, and possibly the use of a mold?>pegs for other weaponsi think that would actually work, if you were very careful. but attaching them to the existing weapons, not so easy. an easier way to do that is to drill a 5mm hole in it, insert part of a 5mm rod, and leave the rest of it hanging out.but my biggest drill bit is 3mm so I dunno. do they make em that big for dremels?
>>11236276>the use of a mold?Now I'm curious to look and see if there are any.>an easier way to do that is to drill a 5mm hole in it, insert part of a 5mm rod, and leave the rest of it hanging out.Oh yeah thats a really smart idea actually! I might do that, assuming I could>do they make em that big for dremels?Because I have no clue
>>11236282well obviously existing molds for the weapons you want to make don't exist. you would make them yourself with silicone or somesuch.yeah I think uh, 5mm is a little big for that kinda thing. you might have to use a bigass power drill.
>>11236111It doesn't matter how much the drawings shift in the cartoon, you can still tell the MP10 head is not accurate.
>>11236070It blows my mind that before MP44 there was not a single Prime toy that actually made the cap bill look somewhat accurate to the cartoon. The closest we got was with the original Optimal Optimus, for fucks sake.
>>11236273It's production art for an American cartoon that would get dubbed into Japanese years later. Thus the name on them in either language would be Optimus Prime.
>>11236310eh? airings of g1 in japan called him puraimu??
>>11236308>Caring about accuracy to a cartoon that couldn't stay accurate to itself
>>11236318Well memed fellow tfw2005 bro!
>>11236321What are you talking about? Sunbow G1 was notoriously badly animated, especially with regards to characters looking consistent between episodes, scenes or even frames. Wanting "accuracy" to Sunbow G1 is a fool's errand.
>>11232111I appreciate his knowledge of the franchise. that being said, some of his takes are trash and his claim to fame, plastic addict and tj tv, are preactically discontinued. still watch him, though.in his transformer show ranking, he criticized some of them for having "anime tropes". wtf does that mean and why is it a bad thing?
>>11236321What are you talking about? Armada was notoriously badly animated, especially with regards to characters looking consistent between episodes, scenes or even frames. Wanting "accuracy" to Armada is a fool's errand.
>>11236328it's the new contrarian bullshit to hate on anime and its various tropesjust because they were clumsily added to so many western shows in the 2000s in a vain attempt to seem like anime without understanding it
>>11236318There's still a general idea of what a character looks like, wonky animation notwithstanding. Optimus had a rounder head in season one but after season 2 and the movie he had a look that MP44 captures well. On the other hand MP10's/SS86 head sculpt is just it's own thing.Try to show a random pic of Optimus from season 2 onwards to somebody who knows jack shit about Transformers and make them choose what looks closer to it, MP10 or MP44. They're going to chose the later.
>>11236321What are you talking about? TMNT was notoriously badly animated, especially with regards to characters looking consistent between episodes, scenes or even frames. Wanting "accuracy" to TMNT is a fool's errand.
>>11236329Micron Legend, however, was pretty good with the actually finished animation.
>>11236333The Optimus in >>11236098 is from season 2 and doesn't look far off from MP10's sculpt.
>>11235240>/toy/ when they are home alone
>>11236463Everyone plays stories with their toys at home, r-right?
>>11236471i miss having that kind of imagination
>>11236471I doFuck having a toy and not playing with it.
>>11236475playing is one thing, but actually coming up with stories?i can make like, backstories for toys i've given a different character to compared to what hasbrony intended, but I don't have them act it out
Finally cracked open that Magmatron I got the other weekBig boy
>>11236474Maybe do some reading or watching, you'll get those creative juices flowing again>>11236475>>11236478I try to come up with stories but usually they're smaller and localized, it's difficult to come up with anything actually cohesive and long-term
>>11236487he really isand when posed exactly like this, landsaur's proportions actually look pretty good
>>11236492honestly a bigger reason is probably that, since I stopped making up stories for my toys, I started doing actual comics and even indie games, so I have an outlet for that writing
>>11236478>>11236492Oh yeah I don't actually like come up with full blown plotlines but honestly that could be fun. Just simple shit like for example, Optimus Prime fighting toxitron grimlock and trying to change him back to "normal" or stuff like that. Nothing complex. Just fun quick scenarios
>>11236493>he really isSpecifically, when math applied, Landsaur and Seasaur both have leader class mass and Skysaur is an average deluxe
>>11236494Well that's good, maybe draw a lil comic for your toy buddies some day?>>11236495I'd really like a decent plotline, or at least more bad guys that I can keep as bad guys, instead of making them noble and honourable with their own factional goals etc.I had a gigantic set of storylines and plotpoints for my ~300ish Kreons but I haven't touched them in ages... It's also difficult to come up with peaceful or political stories if all your regular-sized robots all focus on having weaponsI think one idea I had was Sky Lynx and the Autobot Clones peacefully guarding the Micromaster civilization on the moon, where the worst thing they get into is non-lethal squabbling but ultimately living together and protecting the moon, but I think all my micros are stored away somewhere.
>>11236495I think I do those but really rapidly in my headthese days with the shaky hands and bad eyes, and zero good 'play space' just getting something off the shelf is an exercise in frustration as I knock over three other guys, and then have to turn a light on when i normally sit in the dark.>>11236502oh man transformers comics would be rough.
>>11236471I used to have a year long storyline with an Optimus I built with lego bricks
>>11236503>oh man transformers comics would be rough.Simplify their designs!>>11236508>a whole year>built with LegoI kneel...
Quake is fine. Y'all just like playing the victims.
>>11236557Crazy thought hereBut maybe people like alt modes to be good
>>11236558Quake Convoy has a good alt mode. All Convoys do.
>>11236557>"Y'all just like playing the victims."You type pseud-Southern bilk as haphazardly as Hasbro's designers retooled Skullgrin. "Ya'll like playing victim" is the correct way of saying it. Shuffle back to the North you Johnny Reb. You yank, you.

>>11236803Those were fun times. I had just gotten back into collecting, I had my first job, my car, spending weekends just roaming around finding all the different combiner team members.I wouldn't say any of the combined modes were very good, even back then, but they fun enough. Rook was such a sleeper hit too. I remember being fascinated that he had ankle tilts. How far we've come.

>>11236889They change size through the entire show, sometimes Dinoking is the size of Star Saber but other times the individual Dinoforce guys are the size of the micromaster rescue team.

>>11236889They are guys you stick inside shells. Not that big.
>>11236570Based
>>11236557An completely average bot mode with nothing noticeable in terms of articulation does not excuse a god-awful alt mode. TR Quake is still leagues better than Legacy Quake even with being a Headmaster.
>>11236570how is it holding up
>>11236901More contribution than you.
>>11236070I find it interesting that seemingly everyone gives him cheekbones. As far as i can tell from google he isnt ever drawn with those in g1.
>>11236994Good. I've actually fired the missile
I haven’t bought TF’s since Kingdom but I LOVE the deluxe Insecticons/Beetras designs. Any issues with these? Hoping for a Cyber Monday deal on these two.
>>11236640Thats still coming...right? Maybe in AotP?
>next year is a Gen Selects pack of G2 DinobotsGood lord, imagine if its the Leaders.
>>11236070What's the "Achai" head?
>>11237104Anon, g2 leader Grimlock is in first wave of AoP.
>>11237117And? Like that would stop Hasbro from charging 250 for a five pack of the SS Leaders in G2 colors.Maybe even justify it with a different Grimlock color for completionists.
>>11237107Printed head from Achai
>>11237104>>11237117One could be the blue version and the other the teal version.
Remember when Transformers had GOOD tankmodes? Real treads, Firing tank turrets, Good paint and like actually looking like a tank and not something ran through a trash compactor?
What a piece of shit

>>11237163First off Demolishor is an Anti-Air gun. Second his Alt-mode is cool as shit and if you think it's anywhere near the level of LG Quake then you're a dumbfuck
new>>11237164
>>11237160At least he has a neat gun. I wish you could find it for cheap.
>>11237160Do you smoke? why is he so gunky?
>>11236647at first i thought this was a cool vehicular caterpillar or centipede
