>>11277717why does he have red eyes
>>11277732OG toy
>>11277717My local comic shop got in a single case of the Galaxy Vision TF figures. I bought half the case (ending up with Ratchet, Ironhide, Prowl, Jazz, the chase Optimus Prime). Sadly the rest of the box sold out before I could grab them and my local comic shop is dragging his feet on getting any additional cases in to sell. Anyone got a place where I can buy full cases of the 5-6 waves that have been released so far for a decent price?
>>11277738probably best to learn how to use a proxy and buy from Taobao. The sellers there are even willing to selling single, known figures. It's going to be harder going forward if anti-China policies are real.
>>11277738If you are US they have a dedicated site blokees.com the sales whole sets. They are a bit slow atm but I've order all the waves there no issues.
>>11277734It's funny to me that the original Powermaster Prime mold only has red eyes because it was late enough it was the result of Hasbro being cheap. His eyes were red because they're the part from the panel his face is bolted to.
>>11277748>hasbro being cheapHuh?The only cheap thing they did was the armsThe takara one has red eyes too
So what’s wrong/going to be wrong with SS86 Devastator?
>>11277798It exists and that makes me angry! Rrgh!
>>11277798there's going to be a common defect with a connection in the legs rendering certain copies incapable of combining. Hasbro will not address this and people will continue to buy the constructicons anyway
>>11277762>The takara one has red eyes tooThey painted them blue, only the super mode head has red eyes.
>>11277798Stress marks. The rest may vary.
>>11277717Personal opinion to compare and contrast with the whole "toyetic" aesthetic, red eyes is Powermaster Optimus Prime, blue eyes is Super Ginrai. And we're done.
>>11277803I think the Encore and Commemorative Series versions repainted the base Prime head's eyes blue, though they still couldn't bother painting the Super head's eyes blue to match the anime.But, uh, were the appearances of Powermaster Prime in both his NA commercial animation model and "Season 5" animatronic red eyes? Just to make my point from >>11277837 match.

>>11277854why does he have cat feet?
>>11277860Why don't YOU have cat feet?
Gen selects Trypticon out of nowhere
>>11277983So on top of me getting a Trypticon I guess this means Gen Selects isn't dead yet
>>11277983Higher res
>>11277991And a fancy new style packaging for Generations Selects
>>11277993This I really like. The brown boxes should have gone away years ago
>>11277991I like all of it except for the purple, the darker on the original is nicer and now Siege Brunt won't match the new one.
>>11277983FINALLY they released this mold in proper cartoon colors
Gigastormbros I don't feel so well...
>>11277983>>11277991That's fancy. Not $200+ worth fancy, but still neat.
Toy of the year
>>11277854The more I see this guy, the more I want to get him.
>>11277983>reissue Fortress Maximums >everyone asks for Metroplex, Omega Supreme and/or Scorponok next >reissue Scorponok>everyone asks for Metroplex and/or Omega Supreme next>reissue Omega Supreme >everyone asks for Metroplex next>reissue Trypticon >rumors of Ark reissue 2026This is just getting confusing anymore. I have Metro and have no interest in a reissue but a lot of the community clearly want him but it's like Hasbro would sooner reissue The Legacy/Cybertron one before the G1 version people want.
>>11278011Wrong picture
>>11277983>the biggest shelf warmer of al the titans >gets a selects Why? the TR one got as low as $35 at places like Ollie's. Yes that was 6 years ago but is anyone really going to be ok even sinking a $100 on the same mold of this size? I get it if this fucker was say a Deluxe class but his size alone makes him a hard sale for most to double dip.
>>11278011>missing link at home
>>11278020I can only imagine the plan is for a new Metroplex toy soon™
>>11278026>Why? the TR one got as low as $35 at places like Ollie's.Thats probably because Toys R Us died and outlet stores got all its unsold stock.
>>11277839Blue, actually. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wiInSQq7yUFunny enough, G1 Optimus never has any red eyes in his commercial appearances. Original Prime got blue, Powermaster in both modes is blue, and when he finally gets Actionmaster, those are yellow.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgGxUwIQ1T8
>>11277991Looks like they molded the teal green plastic in solid instead of translucent. No retooling, so the toy is cartoon colors but still has the visible eyes. Which is a shame, since having no eyes is like the defining feature of cartoon Trypticon.
Oh snap, two Titans in one year.Guess that confirms multiple Commanders are an option.
>>11278020They're probably gearing up for a new one, more G1 accurate. Evan and Mark have talked about doing a SS86 Autobot City or some such thing.
>>11278011No, toy of the year is [spoiler]Lego Optimus. This shit is so fucking cool.[/spoiler]
>>11278061That was last year.
>>11277983>>11277991Trypticon himself looks better in black but the little car looks way worse
>>11278011i hate the way the hands feel during transformation, feels like they'll snap.
>>11278072Man, me too. Scares me something fierce.
>>11277983>>11277991>>11277993Oh FUCK yeah! I've been trying to get a hold of an official Trypticon for ages now; ended up setting for the Planet X WFC design (which is my favorite look for him anyway), but having an actual Trypticon that includes his little buddies has always been one of my Grails. When does he go up for preorder?
>>11278079“Early 2025”
>>11278061How is an overpriced legion toy cool?
>>11278083Guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open. I didn't get back into collecting until about 5 years ago, so I completely missed the boat on Trypticon's original release. Since Ollie's doesn't exist around here (never even heard of the place until I started hanging around these threads, and I'm always jealous when someone posts that they found something cool for cheap), so I never saw him pop up in the wild on clearance, either.He'll definitely be overpriced, but hopefully less than what the scalpers on eBay and the such are charging for the TR toy; besides, I like the black on the new one better.
>>112780533 if you count the BBTS Omega Supreme reissue. We were already getting 2 commanders a year. 3 might be pushing it but they probably want to get the combiners done so we can get characters like big convoy
>>11278116I just hope that means a Commander Nexus Prime.
>>11277983Man Hasbro really wants my money. Gonna be spending more in 2025 than I ever have before on transformers.
>>11278011uh, are you aware of this guy's existence??
Thoughts on Lego Transformers Minifigures?
>>11278102>He'll definitely be overpriced,If they keep him at the new price for Titans he'll be 50 bucks cheaper.
>>11278090Every figure is an overpriced legion toy when you really think about it.
>>11277803Only the reissueThe original was red
>>11278090Legion? Motherfucker it's titan sized. It's only a little more expensive than metroplex too.
>>11277998>now Siege Brunt won't match the new one.It doesn't match the original either (darker shade) but it sure looks better.>>11278116Scorponok is getting a reissue too.>>11278141>Motherfucker it's titan sized.Only if by "titan sized" you're talking exclusively of Star Convoy. All the other Titans are bigger than Lego Optimus.
>>11277742theyd better bechina's already terrible to buy from
>>11278178He's gotta be out first. And we already know he won't be in WalMart, so thats a big factor.
>>11277860those are elephant feet>>11277860
>>11277991I like the darker grey, but the TR has a nicer purple and the clear parts look better.>>11277993No Brunt included eh? he might get a re release too.
>>11278052i don't see any eyes on any of them.i always think of the gun cover on his head as the eyes because zoids. normally that's where they'd put a cockpit canopy.
>>11278061once you install knees
>>11278199>i don't see any eyes on any of them.The cartoon model was based on a stickerless toy, so the animators didn't any eyes, just some panel lines.
>>11278202ohh i didn't see that here >>11277991 , but now that you point it out, I see the tiny slits.
>>11278049Guess they really want to hammer home the tag "Toy Version". Interesting to see it all.>>11277983>>11277991>>11277993I think it's to match well with the Brunt we got six years ago. He doesn't feel solid as a tower to Trypticon, though.But whenever there's an opportunity, there's gotta be a Ginrai. So with how the MPG transforms like someone out of the Cheapo Plastic Era, is it still possible to see Super Ginrai?
think they'll redo sixshot?
>>11278196Yo this bot looks tight as hell
>>11278166You're right, I forget about Scorponok. That makes 4 titans for 2025
>>11278216I hope so. The TR one had some of the most horrendous QC ever.
What are some old non-BW Transformers that still hold up today?Off the top of my head I can only think of G2 Hero Optimus, G2 Hero Megatron, RiD Optimus, RiD Megatron, RiD Ultra Magnus, Armada Demolisher and Armada Bendy-Prime.
>>11278216>>11278240JinBao's Voyager-sized Sixshot, which isn't a KO of anything, completely mogs the TR version in everything but size.
>>11278199Yeah, I always saw the original Trypticon as a cyclops
>>11278252well typically, and this is weirdly consistent yet rarely shown, in zoids.. the sides of the canopy are meant to be kinda where eyes go, especially if there's a bevel there. This always made sense to methen again i also always saw car windshields as the eyes, and mocked anyone who thought the headlights were the eyes. a car is clearly built like a shark.
>>11278250All of the laser rods had articulation as a selling point, they still hold up quite well desu. (except for electro)I don't think he quite counts but there's a reason people love g1 soundwave, probably the most articulated figure we had back then.
>>11278254>All of the laser rods had articulation as a selling point,Don't they use the same rubber band system as GI Joe and Action Masters that wears out over time?
>>11278250Cybertron Optimus
>>11278255Yeah they do, but at least those can be replaced.>>11278250what's the cutoff for old exactly, before classics?
Well I did a circuit of a couple stores but it looks like they've all been mostly cleared out by Christmas and Boxing DayWas hoping to find a Sandstorm but a GE Ratchet will have to doNow I'm deciding whether I'd prefer if they restock soon so maybe I can get a shot at Missing Link At Home or if I'd rather they wait a few weeks and skip right to AoP
I saw Slingshot and Air Raid up on amazon but I'm not sure yet if I want the aerialbots...
>>11278250A good chunk of Cybertron stuff, of course. Not Overhaul, Leobreaker (really wished we got a detachable Savage Claw hand since it's just conjured during combination), Backstop... Whatever felt like bricks.
>>11278202Funny enough the Marvel Comics color layout gave him eyes, so just one more quirk of the design process.
>>11278289Just get the CW ones
>>11278326LMAO, can you cunts stop thisCW Superion is not magically good now
I want a gigatron just for this now...Are there any noticeable differences in quality between the hasbro and takara releases of gigatron and devil gigatron?
>>11278336Hasbro uses the Devil Gigatron tooling for both Megatron and Galvatron, with the bit of retooling for the few extra "modes"
>>11278336looks like shit bro
>>11277991>>11277993I'm very happy about this, he looks great.
>>11278357Where are these cool xray pics from?
>>11278351That's good to know, guess I wont fuss between which I can get if I can do this with both colors on the hasbro one
>>11278357anon that's not cool, don't x-ray trypticon's special areas.
>>11278052I never understood why he didn't have eyes on the cartoon.
>>11278128Like actual ones? I'm not aware of those. Only Hasbro's Lego at Home Kre-o and the large Optimus Prime and Bumblebee which follow Lego robot designs.
>>11278370nevermind, I just read >>11278202
>>11278357Wait, is that Megatron in his head...and toy-colors Galvatron in his chest? How? Alternate timeline shenanigans (again)?
>>11278385he's like that Voyager episode where every deck was in a different time
>>11278385Just pre movie art
>>11278360Old promo art by Studio Ox, google "transformers studio ox".>>11278385This was part of an artbook done during the movie by a japanese studio, they did't knew Galvatron and Megs were the same dude.
>>11278397They apparently also thought Ultra Magnus would be a badass in the movie and not just ass.
>>11278408That too.
>>11278408hey he was robert stack!
>new trypI don't know. Will it have the same spring problem as the oeiginal?Had Hasbro ever knowledge the problem?
>>11278462They supposedly fixed it in later runs. I don't think the Takara release had that problem.
>>11278462>>11278492I'm pretty sure the Gigastorm release didn't have that issue, so it definitely shouldn't be a problem this time around.
>>11278494>Gigastorm releaseThat didn't happen.>>1127846250-50 chance, Hasbro has had a pretty inconsistent QC lately, Cybertron Metroplex and Tidal wave had exploding joints, latest fuck up was the ss86 heels and hips missassembly.
>>11278072>>11278077After carefully bending the hands in and out a few times for my G1 Optimus, one has loosened up enough to feel fine, the other is still a bit tighter feeling than I'd like.
>>11278289I'm going to take my chances on finding those two in the wild come spring, but I did get a preorder for Silverbolt because at least he can be naked Superion on his own if for some reason I can't find the deluxes.
Please hasbro PLEASE remember that Thunderblast exists.
>>11278497>That didn't happen
>>11278250just needs a new arm
>>11278550Give it time, they are just starting to remember how females look desuwouldn't want her to get hit with the ugly stick like prime arcee
>>11278021>>11278126Are there any known QC issues with this guy, or is he one of the lucky ones?
>>11278567Are they? Honestly I don't want them to try again because we all know it be a monkey paw of them taking Seaspray or Broadside and giving them a retooled head with lipstick and calling it a day.>>11278589he gets stress markers easy with the connectors to get all the dinosaurs to make the big robot or the weird conga line mode thing.
>>11278553Go ahead, show me that titan gigastorm, not the bw mold, nor the tr mold with an add on, an official titan gigastorm release.
>>11278589>>11278462>>11278497I have the worst QC luck on earth so I feel like I can speak to this.Magmatron has very few QC issues. Bent sword here or there depending on the temp of the storage he was sitting in while being shipped or stored away. Can be fixed by boiling water. Dunno if I'd use a heat gun because it might damage the paint. My copy had sort of a loose elbow in robot mode which I fixed by wedging something behind the "tooth" of the ratchet which made it tighter. I also had a paint splotch thing on one of his silver toes. Another thing about the silver paint, it's very easy to chip/scrape off I think. Also I think the gold crest of his robot head can rub up on the inside of the flyer guy's tummy causing a few little blemishes, but it's still fine. I didn't have any stressing issues on my copy and I usually learn that the hard way.Trypticon was SUPPOSEDLY fixed mid-wave he was released in, so that would carry over here. We don't know if anything new was introduced just yet, but I'm sure there will be posts about it the second this Gen Selects gets to peoples' hands. I imagine at worst, somehow the old problem will return. Or paint QC issues since they're not using stickers anymore and it looks like he has a few applications of paint where joints are. Time will tell.And I know this was just something someone brought up as an example, but Tidal Wave's knees MIGHT have somehow been fixed in later copies. I know I returned my Tidal Wave because the Decepticon logo was not lining up at all on the aircraft carrier (I know that sounds autistic to send back, but it was 200 dollars, I demand better). The copy I got back didn't have knee stress, but I printed out little pieces to stick in between the tabs of where the gear slots in and it should be good and sturdy now. It's sad that like .002 cents of plastic fixes this issue. Just goes to show how much of a fucking afterthought this Titan was.
Did someone rob a factory or something? Saw a Megatronus up on ebay that tjey somehow have in hand.
>>11277983Ill skip every transformer for 2025 if i can get this. I missed out the last time, wfc?, so to get a chance at a nicer looking version will be great. >>11278556This guy was great, does the sound effect still work?
>>11277991Really like the dark grey but there's no chance in hell I'm going to buy the same titan mold two times. Happy for those who wanted a Trypticon, though.
>>11278810Yes, that's Athena. He sells stollen copies online for retarded prices, often for yt to get attention and ad revenue.
>>11278011lol, did they put a lightpiping port right in the top middle of the head, then paint over the eyes?What the fuck, Hasbro? lol
>>11278848Sometimes it's just easier to paint the eyes when they're in a separate piece. Pretty sure that part is the same clear plastic as the windows, it's not going to look good as eyes and they're not going to have a separate mold for just the eyes.But if they release this thing in show colors they can always have that runner in translucent blue for both the windows and eyes.
"megatronus" is such a shit name browhat were they thinking??
>>11278848They did the same thing with Road Pig
>>11278550>>11278567Every single person who's suggested she should be a straight repaint of Scourge needs to be slapped upside the head
>>11278860interesting headcanon. but he has an ugly, useless yellow chunk of plastic in the middle of his head, lol.
>>11278848no, the yellow plastic is just really opaque
>>11277991Not really feeling the pink.
>>11278567>>11278864Since every new mold has to function as multiple characters now, I feel like they could tool one that'd work for both Thunderblast and Scylla.
>>11277983I’m detached to season 3 stuff and I’m not sure if I want to pay for something that dipped below $100 at one point.Like on the odd moon I see it for that price then sure but I’m not going to hunt for it.
>>11278550easy, just remold solus's kibble into boat bits
>>11278810We've seen in for like a month and a half plusIgnore this retard >>11278840He's made up some persona "Athena" and made them into some boogieman and is convinced they're a real person who actually posts here constantly and trollsIdk why a Janny hasn't just banned this retard
>>11278895hi slt
Finally opened all my transformers that had piled up over the months. I think it’s funny how the amount of autobots ridiculously outnumbered the decepticons
>>11278874you know what? That might work... Squids are vaguely kinda boat-shaped. sorta, if you squint. I was thinking, if you need her to be a retool, you'd probably have better luck just reshelling ER Arcee. She's such an egregious shellformer you could literally replace her entire altmode and it wouldn't affect the base figure at all
>>11278909There's also a precedent for it. In beast wars uprising pre-predacon form was based on Thunderblast's toy.
>>11278567They'd make the headsculpt ugly and say it was based on her original toy.
>>11278930What are you saying, CHUD!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJixPDO_RIU
>>11278936Still don't get why chromia got yet another toy after being a serial shelfwarmer.
>>11278936I hate this guy so much its unreal.
>>11278936the only way i'll tolerate that shadowstriker.
>>11278869lol, shut up you lying retard.
>>11278936I watched about a minute before I turned it off.Is numbnut saying this Chromia toy is good because it's just a repainted guy toy?
>>11278937Because these days, you don't make what customers want; you make what customers are *supposed to* want.
>have to wait until 2026 for any more beast wars stuffI just want a reissue tigerhawk! The new one fucking sucks
>>11278959It would probably be Commander Class price somehow.
Will there ever be a mass-market Titan Class Unicron?
>>11278959the original had huge flaws too. we need a 'missing link' tigatron. take the original, fix the weird tiger face, fix the bad shoulders, give him wrist swivels.. and somehow make the tiger arms smaller but the robot legs bigger (maybe let them borrow some meat from the body, there's hollow areas)oh and gut the missile gimmicks, those were stupid. let us pick the wing angle we want.
>>11278937To be fair, the new one (the Prowl redeco) is actually pretty good looking. I didn't buy it, but it's probably the best Chromia we have right now that isn't an Arcee repaint or whatever, even if she doesn't match the universe she's meant to.
>>11278969i might pick one up desu>>11278959are they still reissuing BW stuff? thought they gave up after most of it shelfwarmed
>>11278959Speaking of the new one, I took mine apart after the hip stopped ratcheting. I found that there is a springy cog ratchet thing in there that is literally held on by shitty plastic needles instead of...you know, being fucking molded into the hip part. I ended up destroying my Tigerhawk and am on the fence on replacing him since I added a bunch of upgrade kit shit to him way before this happened, but I have BBTS store credit that pays for it.I also bent the fuck out of my knockout pin trying to get this piece of shit capped pin off even with the cap heated for over 2 minutes.
>>11278975shit, that changes my mind about whether i'll give him (or more likely a remold) a try or just sell the other half of my upgrade kit... when it finally comes in from BBTS
>>11278981Honestly, they might have fixed the issue because some people report nothing happening to them. It also happens in his right hip specifically. I have not heard a single person say it happened to them in the left hip and I've been following this for a while. I was hoping that the issue was that one of those shitty little springy boxes with the tooth on it slipped out of its containment area and would be able to be put back, but nah. It's so strange because this is one of their better ideas for the ratchets that don't use the metal springs, and they decided to top it off with nailing it in with like the weakest type of tabs I have ever seen. I expect that out of third party, not mainline.The hip was fine without the ratchet btw. Still had plenty of friction, but my brain could not handle only one hip having a ratchet. So when it got looser after repeated heating of the pin, I just said "fuck this" and tore him apart. If I get him again, I'm just going to pose him in the cabinet and leave him there. This might just be an early copy thing, but the only way for me to know is to buy a new one and rip it apart.Hell, if there was an actual market for a YouTube channel the way there is for those technology breakdowns, I'd gladly bite the bullet buying and destroying these figures to find out what makes them tick.
>>11278969I'm tempted to get her after seeing her appearance in the TF Go Go manga but man, I really wish they put in at least a little more work to differentiate her from Prowl. At least give her a gun, or something
>>11278920>what were they thinking??They'll make a reverse botcon and paint lolita-1 as thunderblast.
>>11278988would get desu
>>11278986that kinda thing is weirdly funi might actually just get the normal color because he's still different enough from my original tigerhawk that they can be different guys on my shelf.. bigger robot hands would have excused a lot of the other problems.
>>11278986I mostly do this with titans. Sometimes Hasbro does the flimsiest shit. If anyone here has opened up their Commander Motormaster, that toy should scare anyone from getting the new Silverbolt, that thing is like a grenade. I'm shocked there haven't been reports of breaks, because it's that bad.
>>11278987She looks really cool in person but the one time I've seen her, she had a painting mishap on her shoulder and I was tired of getting bamboozled by QC shit. The mold I feel works more for her than it did for Prowl, but that might be because Prowl's headsculpt makes him look like a baby.>>11278996Honestly, go for it. I have (*had) both. I like the newer one better because he does what I want and I don't like the weird milky plastic of the original. Both aren't perfect. I'm trying to learn how to use CAD software better so I can make some semi-articulated hands or something with my 3D printer.I actually think I'm going to use my store credit right now to buy Tigerhawk and pre-order that Vector Prime kit by DNA.>>11279004I got my Motormaster second hand and it didn't seem to have issues. I did scuff up the grey "outline" on his chest somehow and haven't been able to find a match. I think it helps to know that other people broke off those tabs and created stress marks for me since I do those steps carefully now to prevent it. Also helps I don't take him out of combined mode, but it does bother me that the red dude doesn't stay on the left shoulder well at all. Dunno how they fuck that up.
>>11279004>If anyone here has opened up their Commander Motormaster, that toy should scare anyone from getting the new Silverbolt, that thing is like a grenade.what's wrong it it?
>>11279006I'll post in detail later, but it has tons of baffling design decisions that will break or wear joints out sooner or later.
>>11279006ooh i'd love another upgrade kit if you come up with one.
>>11279009Yeah I'm sure I'll post about in here if I do. I bought myself a BambuLab X1C and have been testing the "toyetic" stuff it can do. Downloaded a Ramjet to print for Tidal Wave and he came out...OK for a rough draft. I think if I can, I'll edit the file and try and make the wings less gigantic and some other things like friction joints, but we will see. This was more a test for how bad the layer lines are. I'll likely get purple and red plastic to make him with.
>>11279004>>11279008>zero reports of breakage>but I bet it WILL break Is this the new cope /tfg/ has started?
>>11278962Primus I hope so.
>>11278962No way fag, pony up those four figures
Legacy Chromia is funny to me because Prowl was clearly designed to look he's wearing cargo shorts but Chromia's deco doesn't reflect that at all so she just looks like she has really thick thighs.

>>11278988Early Thunderblast would look fine.Say, let's go turn around to Masterpiece, and I have to remember that Dinobot introduced the TF Power Bases, dedicated display bases for Masterpiece figures, but they were only exclusive to select figures. Anyone recap on what MP and MPG figures have TF Power Bases?

>>11279047such a shame t30 chromia looks so much like an ayy, it's easily the best looking one body wise.
>>11279047I still think bbm arcee would have been the perfect mold for her, the cyberverse version especially
>>11279047I could maybe take the boxy thighs but holy shit the swivels make them look even worse
>>11279051If we stretched her thighs out a little
>>11278953I think it's more, "let's not make what the fans want, let's make what I WANT and the fans can just take it or leave it"
>>11279068Then it wouldn't transform, you'd need to also add shorter shins at that point chose a better mold like >>11279065

Can I bitch about the only available BD rip for TFOne being from europe and mildly censored for silly things like replacing knife hands with sword hands here or is that not kosher?
>>11279186is there a /co/ thread, they would appreciate that to keep it alive, sounds interesting if they had to censor stuff desu
>>11279183It should happen on the merit of being a sexed up fembot. Online review people shouldn't matter.
>>11279183Or.. we can get that so that I can have and enjoy it. Thanks.
>>11279047Complaints about how fappable they are aside, I had them both and the righthand one didn't even transform right. Could not get those fucking wheel halves to tab together to save my life. If they sacrificed that to make the toy functional, so be it. Besides, now her chest is three times bigger.
>>11279204The wheel halves aren't even a part that deals with the human-like aspects of her design. Just QC issues.

>>11277728Says your autism. At post limit, image limit or bump limit, time to move on to a new thread. Fuck off, retard.
>>11278895It's a real person. It's some scrawny chink that would leak images of figures early but would watermark it with shit like NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER all over it so that sites like TFW couldn't post them publicly. He also made some 3D models for Sky Garry and Grandus, then acted like a complete dipshit anyone someone asked about whether he'd release them somehow as if people were asking for them to be made available for free. Hilariously he got banned from TFW cause he couldn't help being a complete dick head anytime anyone slightly disagreed with him or said something he disliked. Now he just farms for attention here.
>>11278936I can't believe anybody would unironically post this guy everI have watched this redit sperg make a complete ass of himself countless times

Is MP ginrai purposefully CHUG scale?
>>11279293>MPUGGet used to paying 300 bucks anon
>>11279294
>>11279293Minerva is so cute!
>>11279299The one I bought has very mispainted eyes and i’m so pissed, i’m debating buying another one since it makes her kinda ugly
>>11279293Apparently it’s MP scale in accordance to the internal Takara scale chartsSo prepare for only short JG1It’s why Star Saber was also small
>>11279007>>11279015Here I go:>Many of the ratchet joints are too strong compared to the plastic they're meant to interact with. Some of them will not move at all. For instance, the MM hip ratchets just shred the joint.>There's a connection on MM's foot that has a post going through 2 loops. While not a huge problem thanks to some redundancy there, the post always breaks at least one loop per leg. Every MM I checked had that issue.>Having to sandown the white pinned section connecting MM arms to the torso since many copies have the pinned slightly misaligned on at least one arm, leading to cracks forming on the black pinned sections>Menasor's arm connection has several problems. The ratchet is rock solid, so removing the arm after combination is much harder than it should be, to the point the purple plastic on the inside will start developing stress marks. You also have to pull only that purple piece up or you risk breaking the shoulder. The ratchet causing these issues is on MM foot, so shaving down the tooth a bit is recommended.
>>11279339>Menasor's shoulder joint is barely held together by a pin and uses a square ratchet. This wouldn't be an issue, but they just used a normal pin to connect the purple torso connection a gear, which has the square ratchet over it, and the two Grey pieces go sandwiched between the gear. Due to not having the purple connection and gear be molded together or the gear being secured with something stronger, moving the shoulder can cause the pin to move, which is pretty bad since the arm will just fall off if it gets loose enough, the pin also bears the whole weight of the arm, which isn't a good thing when you also strap a deluxe to it. Oh and the square ratchet can also slip and lock the joint. The only reason I even checked the Menasor shoulder connection was due to the square ratchet slipping.>Connecting Wildrider and Breakdown to the legs will lead to broken ports if you don't wear down the Menasor leg peg and mistransform both to avoid damaging the port (leave their legs slightly bent, insert them first, then peg the shoulders at the top, if the cars are transformed properly, the leg ports will crack).
>>11279332Not sure what this means, are the mp jpg1 bots simply on a seperate scale from other mps? I remember hearing that can ginrai is supposed to be even taller than prime
>>11279342Cab ginrai*, my mistake
>>11279343I think Ginrai is about 8 meters, Optimus is around 6, but yeah, he was taller.
>>11279293Starting with Super God Masterforce, the bots get increasingly large as Japanese G1 goes. As such, actual MP scale toys would be gigantic (for example a correctly-scaled MP Star Saber would be titan sized). Because of this they decided to make them CHUG scale since they'd still be decently large toys.
>>11279342
>>11279345It's not CHUG scale because the CHUG JG1 bots are also smaller than they should be. Compare MP Star Saber to Haslab Star Saber.MP Ginrai is too big for CHUG using Haslab as the reference.

>>11279409That car is sexy as F
>>11279293He's not. Cab Ginrai was the size of the other car bots in the show.
>>11279339>>11279340Ok I'm tempted to take him off the shelf to inspect, but I'm terrified. I know I don't have many of these issues yet, but I think last time I was messing with him I wanted to take his arm off and I couldn't even get it out. It's REALLY in there. I did wear down the leg pegs though, so I think I'm good even though there's still stress marks from the previous owner.
>>11279153I'm more looking for Micky Bells mode
>>11279409You know...I told myself I wasn't gonna buy this guy since I had the Shattered Glass version. I dunno.
>>11279349My worst experiences with TFW are how many fucking scale autists there are on that board. They will ignore every single other flaw and hyperfocus on scale like it's the only thing.You can open any thread on that board for a popular figure and there will be some schizo just complaining about scale and posting like 10 charts even though every single show is inconsistent.
>>11279458Absolutely, I hate scale autism with a passion, though in this case it seems the autism was very helpful
>>11279458I have a fucking size kink and even I'm not scale autistic>>11279464It should be like the very LAST thing to consider about a figure, like even thinking about scale should only come up after every other aspect is flawed. Though I do understand the "size for class" problem, but I guess that isnt scale.
>>11279430The only "wrong" bot on that pic is ss86 prime, hes way too big, Motormaster was designed to be as big as Er prime.
>>11279293Legends God Ginrai is MP scale, is MP Ginrai as big as the lg mold?
Did you know the french fry weapons are guns?
>>11279589All I see is a blank image because surely this wouldnt get released without a minicon. Hasbro can't be that stupid when they already made it and only needed to recolor it.
>>11279437There was a more accurate release?
>>11279589>Bootleg third party in the background Faggot
>>11279591All I see is a really shitty wheeljack because only the head and chest were designed to look like himIt's clear they only made this to be a SG sideswipe with their limited selects budget and ended up caving to the demand of repainting from the blind people that couldn't see it would make a terrible wheeljack
>>11279441You're asking people to actually watch a Japanese cartoon and not just read a wiki and pretend the Japanese toy is the US one. What are they going to do? Actually WATCH Masterforce? But that has icky humans and is japanimation! The WORST!
>>11279339>>11279340>g2 version got canned>CW is a wobbly mess and has PCC proportions thanks to retarded design>UW has actual gold plastic syndrome, and a pretty bad case of it too, it started crumbling to bits after barely a year of being released>Now thisWhy is it always menasor who comes out this fucked? is it really that hard to make a square robot with cars as limbs?
>>11279677Is the yellow and blue guy the same guy in both the photos? Because that seems about right.
>>11279698That guy is also as big as a deluxe car.
>>11279711It looks like scale is fucked to begin with. The "deluxe cars" are much bigger than Minerva, who was released as a deluxe.
>>11279698>>11279711Thats Metalhawk, the legeacy version is too big, well all the legacy pretenders got fucked up somehow, Skullgrin has the right scale but the monster head should be optional, he also got a compromised altmode.TR+POTP Metalhawk still is the closest representation to the anime scale and gimmick.
>>11279605ChungusFurry screams in pain as he strikes out

Guys, I've been wondering over by the Godzilla Synergenex crossover. The Megatron as black Grimlock to be Godzilla is pretty weak, but Optimus Prime as a JXSDF Vehicle that turns into a Kiryu styled mech is dang slick
>>11279934okay
Got my takars animated wingblade Optimus finally. The seller was not kidding about how loose it is lol. But dispite how annoying it is to handle I'm mostly happy with it. Makes for a nice display piece at the very least and it transforms well still. The vehicle mode is fantastic. Tempted to hunt for a second less loose one so I can keep one in robot and one in vehicle mode.
>>11279959*takara *despite I need sleep.
Easily one of my favorite prime vehicle modes
How would a new Sari toy work?
>>11280022I've always found trying to get the back pieces all assembled to be a shaky affair
Also got this, two translucent core transformers, bee and OP. And my kissplayers OP.Gotta say, Hot Rod sucks to pose so far, maybe I just gotta get used to it. Aside from that and the little scratch on his chest, I like him a lot. No idea how to transform him though since the seller did not include instructions. I will have to watch a video I guess.
>>11280028Wish I had the missles.. I agree, I had a little trouble with that. The cannons did not want to tab into the gauntlets at first, was worried I'd break something for a brief moment.
>>11280046Let me know when they make an official modern release and I'll melt the fanshobby shield team in a fire for you on video.
>>11280023Maybe they could follow the logic of the Noah toy from RotB and have her have a detachable backpack and able to be used as a gun by bigger ones, but you'd want to have her be able to swap between exposed and helmet heads. Seems super unlikely since Core Class is kill. The only other way I could imagine her working was if she came with Bumblebee as a statue, but she didn't.
>>11280051Don’t do it, its a notorious pedophile troll who’s been spamming the same ESL garbage here for years, keeping it shortens his life spanAnyways Optimus Prime
>>11280056Well in that case, I'll make a trophy out of it. Also what is that Optimus supposed to be? Looks weirdly neat.
>>11280064The smaller one? Came with ROTF Stratosphere, can transform still and be launched out of his plane mode, pretty cool stuff, the 2007-ROTF age was a mini golden age for weird cool stuff
>>11279944Kinda wish the prime came with an extra top trailer blaster so prime can have dual arm blasters like Kiryu
i tried to apply as a janitor on /toy/. we sure need more help
>>11280090Sounds like an awful job. Even ignoring the obvious.
>>11280090From what? The one guy same fagging most of the thread? I wager most that drop by are like me to get a laugh of his insanity and to then go back to the other communities that have better traffic and conversations. The only reason /tfg/ is so shit is because so few come here.
>>11280096indeed. but i was willing to put in the work to clean this joint up.
Mail arrived today, got Overcharge>Yeah you did!Also the GI Joe Kup and my other Sharkticon.
>>11280056such a shame stratosphere turned out to have gold plastic syndrome, it looks like such a neat toy and the optimus is a really good extra
>>11280101He wants to clean this board in general, there’s way more problems than just the ones here (besides the 14 day autosage button killing smaller generals)
>>11280116Short of getting IDs per thread made with locations like /pol/ does you are not cleaning this place up. The Anonymous nature and slow board activity ensures that alone. When we could see how many IPs were coming to toy it was sub 300 IPs for the whole fucking board and remember that's not even a good head count of real people just unique IPs posting here.
>>11280078Agreed. They cheated out not giving him a second blaster for his robot mode or throwing in blast effects.I'm still gonna get him, but those inclusions are a missed opportunity. Blast effects of the chest cannon would have been sick
>>11280121we used to at least know if OP was replying to himself in the first fuckin 10 posts because oh look unique IP count. pulling that might be the dumbest thing 4chins has done in recent memory.a janitor can send people to be banned for their chicanery, so...
>>11280162They won' ban anon. Consider for a moment why they got rid of the counter. Consider for a moment why they haven't talked about 4chan's traffic for the last two years.
>>11280166i still get banned after a janitor deletes a post.
>>11280166And the fact that VIPs can hide their VIP tag and act like normal anons, only for those reporting to realize the ones they're reporting were VIPs. We have plenty of those all over 4chan.

>>11280032>Gotta say, Hot Rod sucks to pose so far,Really? People wouldn't shut the fuck up about this guy when he came out. I almost bought him, but I already have three Hot Rods that I like a lot and this guy didn't seem like he brought anything new to the table.
>>11280032>Hot Rod sucks to pose so far,User skill issue.
>>11280343I think he poses pretty well except for those damn shoulders. They're the fucking worst and they keep popping up on figures I would love otherwise
>>11280343>this guy didn't seem like he brought anything new to the table.Visor gimmick on mainlineOld figma like tier accessoriesEasily the best range of articulation on any official Hotrod, the other deluxes didn't even had wrist swivels and the Mps can't get their legs as high.

How is Legacy Tigerhawk? Is he good quality and has no issues or anything? Thinking about getting him. Or do you think I might be better off getting the original figure off ebay or something? Both look pretty badass to me but the legacy one looks obviously more posable and overall cleaner
>>11280469awful proportions, stupid beast head, and hollow-ass wings (fixable with DLC that as far as I know has not released yet but I have it pre-ordered, and it comes with Silverbolt's improvements too)one anon had a bad hip ratchetbeyond that, I mean, it's finally a sorta-kinda-not-really-tv-accurate version of Tigerhawk after all these years, and it's still a big robot tiger-hawk so you really can't get too mad. I'm waiting for a heavy discount and it kinda seems like that's not a thing anymore. nothing dropped price over the holiday shopping season.
>>11280436Omg I see Power Glide!
>>11280469>Legacy TigerhawkMore like Legacy Bearchicken
Shit, I didn't think I spent that much on transformers (and one diaclone figure) this year. I got most of it on discount, but all in all, it ended up being around $1,500 (not counting figures I got for free due to gifts or redeemed gift cards from fetch, Bing, etc...)
Sometimes I wonder if a line for the human characters of the Transformers franchise will ever pop up, or how it will even be handled if it ever came to be. I was thinking maybe it could be another Blokees blindbox thingy.
>>11280509i would like something like Figmas but yknow not assrapingly expensive.
>>11280469>>11280484Bought the DLC on ebay, it arrived on Friday... When I first saw the kit I thought it was vital. In hand I don't think it changes enough of Tigerhawks flaws, the mask sucks and now one of the birb legs won't stay plugged in in bot mode. Silverbolt has some goofy ass proportions in beast mode without the kit. He still has goofy ass proportions with it.I guess I was dumb enough to think it was going to be magic.It doesn't even address Silverbolts worst issue which is his feet imo. They are *fine* in bot mode but beast mode - the range of motion always looks odd, no claw articulation looks like shit. (not to mention his long ass legs look like shit in beast mode no matter what.)
Wings seem too far forward, they are too narrow, his body too long which makes the stumpy tail look even worse...
>>11280520I just fucking hate the feather sculpt on his back, looks more like a cartoon fish than a bird. It isn't even accurate either, he's supposed to have fur there.
You can partsform the wheels onto the shoulders.
>>11280592Huh, I should do that with Red Alert.
>>11280406I don't quanitify figures in terms of articulation and cartoon accuracy alone. Crazy concept, I know. Also I like good alt modes, and SS Hot Rod's was fucking awful.>>11280396>Visor gimmick on mainlineokay, but that's not "new". The MP has it.>Old figma like tier accessoriesdon't really know what you mean by this, but the MP has more accessories. Including a fishing pole.>Easily the best range of articulation on any official Hotrod, the other deluxes didn't even had wrist swivels and the Mps can't get their legs as high.so basically the only thing here is slightly better articulation. Which isn't really a motivating factor for me when I buy a toy. Might be a hot take, but I don't think wrist swivels automatically make something worth buying if I think everything else about it is boring.and imo, the MP btfo's the SS just by not having a fake chest.
>>11279291>shit>ON SALEno, thanks
>>11280551Honestly, the upgrade kit makes it look worse imo. I almost bought this kit, but then I realized I just really didn't want any of it. I would have preferred for Tigerhawk if they gave him new hands and skipped the blasters and dumb mask gimmick thing. Wing fillers are fine, but I already have the resin ones from eBay. Could have also given him a new back to his robot head so you can articulate it better without cutting the little plastic bridge near the neck. The new beast feet make no sense to me, because I thought the ones that he already has are fine. The should have just made some fillers, gave him some new hands since the ones he came with can be popped out easily, and called it a day.The Silverbolt addons, while a great idea, are horribly executed. They also use the famous "DNA plastic" which is weird and waxy feeling and looking.
>>11280600>I don't quanitify figures in terms of articulation and cartoon accuracy alone. Crazy concept, I knowI never said those were the only good points, transformation is pretty impressive too.>Also I like good alt modes, and SS Hot Rod's was fucking awful.That's an exaggeration. I don't like the yellow hinge on top of the car and the knees in the back could have been hidden better, but taking into account what the toy does at that size I can get past them. There needs to be a balance between looks in both modes and articulation. Going by your pic, if you think Classics Hot Rod is comparable due to the alt mode being cleaner your priorities are pretty skewed, I still like it but that thing is barely posable. Even the weird SS shoulders blow the Classic's ones out of the water. Animated Hot Rod is the closest contender.
>>11280520That one autist is going to scream at me for bringing it up, but the TransArts Silverbolt is superior to this on pretty much every level - he's basically just the old 90's toy (even kept the same transformation) scaled up and with better articulation. Shame he's MP scale, but the point is that this is all Hasbro needed to do. I have no idea why they felt they had to reinvent the wheel, or why they thought anything about his alt mode was passable, but it was perfectly possible for them NOT to fuck him up.
>>11280663>inb4 "bootleg faggot"
All this talk about broken ratchets is making me nervous. I bought CW Silverbolt in 2015; haven't transformed it too much but the extremely hard ratchets always scared me a bit, even though I was always careful, holding both the torso and the limb near the ratchet and moving them slowly, one teeth at a time. Have there been cases of broken ratchets with that mold, or are you just making me paranoid?

>>11280717Yes, it's my pic but it's old. The colors are still fine though, the shelf were they used to be didn't receive direct sunlight and they've spent the last four years inside a cardboard box due to reasons.
>>11279544Now you’ve got me curious, I haven’t seen any comparisons unfortunately
>>11280663>he's basically just the old 90's toy (even kept the same transformation) scaled up and with better articulationThat's all I wanted. They don't seem to understand that some things were designed in a specific way in the original toy for an actual reason and always have to reinvent the wheel and fuck up something.

>>11280915MP Ginrai is too big, his small altmode is the same as Huffer/Pipes, a small 4 wheeled truck, not 6 like Prime's, he should be closer to the Lg mold in size.>HaslabHasbro fucked up almost every haslab and mainline Victory figure, V Saber is too small with an even smaller V Leo while Galaxy Shuttle and Dinoking are tiny MP Saber is a huge toy, but he oddly works well with lg Ginari and CW Liokaiser (Liokaiser shitty torso choice aside).
>>11280927There's nothing saying Ginrai should be as tall as Optimus Prime.
>>11280927>Think victory saber looks cool>G1 figure was ridiculously rare so good luck even finding one, let alone at a price that goes below 500$>MP is as rare as finding an unicorn>Haslab one has QC issues and is even more overpriced than the MP now>The one chance we had for a reasonably priced one was fucking ruined because of IDW bullshitAt this point i'd take a blokees one
>>11280940Blokees Star Saber would be awesome
>>11280819What about your snacks
>>11280940Theres a 3p non idw option, but he drank too much gundamium, its cool if you're into hyper dynamic robot action.

>>11280727WE LOVE BRICKS
>>11280975Best super mode of all time right there, and it's not even close desu. God I wish we could get cool super robot TFs anymore.
>>11280944I got new ones for tonight, but I couldn't find any fancier crackers this year.>>11280967Happy New Years, anon>>11280971I got all the minibots that came with targetmaster guys. I still like T30 Brainstorm.
now how do i combine them
>>11279944idk you but I prefer Megatron harvesting the power of Godzilla, Optimus as Kiryu looks rad but damn it's that fuckass mediocre Laser Prime mold, I have it as Toxitron, that's it
>>11280978>no fancier crackersIt's over...
>>11280980Animated OP had a trailer?
>>11280971Arcee, Chromia, Scoop and Nightbeatwhy yes, i check the BBTS clearance section how could you tell.no regrets though, i still think this is the best g1 arcee we've gotten.only annoying thing is how much of a space hog the boxes are, kinda considering throwing them out desu.>>11280978Happy new year, that seems like something fun to do, will have to get my arcee out of the box later
>>11280716I buy them for transforming and having cool-looking modes. Posability is a secondary concern.>>11280640>Going by your pic, if you think Classics Hot Rod is comparable due to the alt mode being cleaner your priorities are pretty skewed, I like Classics Hot Rod because he looks cool and unique in both modes, and there isn't really any other toy like him, and probably won't ever be. Thus, he is worth owning, in my opinion. lmao, "priorities"
>>11280993>I buy them for transforming and having cool-looking modes.Now that's a rare take, what tfs you been liking recently anon?
>>11280986>only annoying thing is how much of a space hog the boxes are, kinda considering throwing them out desu.Do it, if you really feel the need to save then just stack the cardbacks and ditch the bubbles at a bare minimum. I stacked the cardbacks for years before I threw it all out in disgust, I don't miss them one bit. I think the only TF box I still have is the G2 FoC Bruticus one.
>>11280520>wings seem too far forward, body too longno his neck is just too short and tail too small. otherwise this is weirdly respectable.
>>11280663MP-scale though isn't it?i'd get it if they do a recolor, i can pretend that's a different guy so it's okay that he's so big. but only really on sale.
>>11280978>I got all the minibots that came with targetmaster guysThese guys were such a treat. I was so hyped for legends class figures with targetmasters to become a regular "thing", but it died off pretty fast.>>11280998>what tfs you been liking recently anon?like out of recent releases? Not much. I think the last "new" bot I got was Legacy Animated Prowl, and he looks pretty cool in bot mode at least. I think the last toy I actually bought in a store was that little rise of the beasts skullcruncher targetmaster, and he's nifty.If you mean what I've been liking recently in general, I got Takara Generations Ratbat and he rules. Also went on a spychanger kick. Mirage, Silverstreak, and Daytonus are pretty rad. Oh, and Transformers Prime Hardshell, holy shit. Perfect example of a bot with so much style and presence that I don't care how jank his posability is. Beast Hunters Bulkhead and Huffer were two other surprises from the Prime commander class.
All this "Ginrai is Generations scale!" cope reminds me how people were saying the same for Beast Wars because we didn't have much of the cast yet and the Generations ones were cope enough
>>11280971>Thrilling 30 was 10 years ago.>How many did you get?I only recently got T30 Trailbreaker, but he's pretty neat. I love his stylized truck mode, and the fact that he comes with a shield that actually convincingly integrates with his alt mode is a nice touch that gives him some personality. I got him at the same time as this decepticon repaint of the old chug windcharger. I don't remember his name, but I like to pretend he's friends with Trailbreaker despite being an opposing faction.
>>11281022>I was so hyped for legends class figures with targetmasters to become a regular "thing", but it died off pretty fast.The fact that such little guys were triplechangers was and still is impressive considering their size. I still love lil Payload, cool in all three modes.
>>11281025oh man this guy can redo his picture now.
>>11281105needs masterpiece rattrap
>>11281070>I still love lil PayloadEveryone loves lil Payload. Even Decepticons.
>>11281106yeah but generations rattrap was roughly MP scale, at least in beast mode (the show clearly cheats his robot mode much bigger) so.. that's kinda good already. unlike the rhinox standing in.
>>11281141holy shit the cope is real
>>11281156anon we were talking about this back when Primal was the only MP, calm your ovaries. Generattrap even fits on his shoulders for ridin.
>>11281141>>11281160i like generations rattrap, but i would still prefer an MP version
>>11281162oh absolutely. we need it. i dont even collect these due to the massive expense and fragility, but i still want that.
I'd like to share that I actively collect fembots and will be preordering Solus Prime shortly.
>>11281191i'd like to ask you to show your fembot collection
>>11280985DNA made a Powermaster kit.
>>11281206holy shit, i might just have to pick him up now
>>11281206pretty cool but man those are minuscule thighs and a real serious case of no-stomach.
>>11281192I started collecting TFs as an adult this past june after owning mountains of unicron trilogy toys as a kid. The only fembot I have who isn't pictured here is legacy slipstream, as I'm waiting for the Noneff upgrade kit for her.
>>11281243Also I forgot to get my kingdom Blackarachnia in this pic as well.
>>11281206Wanted this, but the arm guards look like they could scrape the blue paint on the arms. No idea if the figure could handle the weight.
>>11281243Lost all interest on Slipstream. No kit really has a look that appeals to me, Nonnef needing toyhax stickers to complete it his kit sealed the deal.
>>11281243good taste, man. most of these also tempted me.
>>11280971Is there a similar list of the 40 anniversary figures?
>>11281243for just starting out, that ain't half bad, nice fembots bro.Man, i'm considering getting that 2pack just for javelin, how you like her?Also good taste with road rage.
>>11281265No, because Hasbro didn't do a special 40th Anniversary collection
>>11281243Very nice anon, pretty substantial, and even some customs? I'd recommend you get yourself a T30 Arcee to go with the Chromia, she's still probably my favorite take on the character.>>11281268Not him but she's very nice, the BBM Arcee mold is one of the better fembot molds around, and redtooling it as some random weirdo fembot is exactly the sort of thing I'm into. I unno if the two-pack is worth it just for her, since cool vaporwave color scheme aside, Kaskade is absolute dogwater, but I'd absolutely recommend it if you can get it at a discount
>>11280519I liked this figure. It had problems, but overall it's tons of fun.https://youtu.be/thhR9EdxhJs?si=t3kX-VD3tktQX6Fzhttps://youtu.be/thhR9EdxhJs?si=t3kX-VD3tktQX6Fz
>>11281342i'm happy to finally have him, but i'll be happier once the upgrade kit comes ini'll probably just sell the tigerhawk kit but I guess there's no harm in holding onto it, the value's only going up as it goes out of production.
>>11281141Hmm... I somehow saw a 3D model prototype of a Rattrap in his two hind legs, what is it for? Doubt it's Masterpiece for its ability to cheat "naturality", since Rattrap is the hardest to render.
>>11281357what is... the 3d model prototype you have.. of rattrap in beast mode standing up... for? you need to give us more information. where did you get it. what do you mean masterpiece can 'cheat naturality' and what has that to do with this. what do you mean hardest to render
>>11279291But do i want vector prime, when i already own the original, AND the Jhiaxus mold?
>>11279430So glad i got the Combiner Wars one
>>11281243lol looks like MY shelf. Are you me?
>>11281387anon you can't just ask people if they're you
>>11281243Honestly based, I've been wanting to track down One Megs to make Mavs' Megaempress print as well.
>Hesitated on guys like Ferak and Motormaster when they were on clearance because I wasn't sure I REALLY wanted them>Sale's over and now I regret missing my chanceWhy do I keep doing this to myself
>>11281243>>11281392That MegaEmpress is atrociousYou guys are really dressing a turd with that one
HAPPY NEW YEAR! (east coast)
>>11281438wow that might be the best snakeformer ever.. is this a repaint of cohrada? it's not, right?
>>11281451An edit of Cohrada to look like Cobra, from Space Adventure Cobra.
Happy new year /tfg/>>11280819>>11280978took inspiration from yours to take this, no crackers but i do have some other stuff i'd be getting to later.primal is still really fun.
>>11281460ahh edit, that makes sense. because i can't imagine they'd do it that way.>>11281466oh so you live in detroit
>>11281466I miss the pack-in comics, they were cool.
>>11281451>that might be the best snakeformer everPersonally, I'm more fond of Night Viper - while most of the robot mass is still in the head, he's a bit slimmer because his robot legs are now the tail. I just wish the tail itself had a few more segments, but he still looks cool as-is.
>>11281468nope>>11281490same, but it's kinda funny how even the comics have bad qc, apparently a bunch of them have the order messed up.
>>11281501yeah but having to fold up an entire leg on the bodty, and the arms, AND the big fucking arm pylons that, cool as they are, require more beast mode meat and thus should have been cut (make a mantis shrimp if you want those).. leaves so little room for the head that it looks like a cobra swallowed a walkman.
>>11281503because you said you have no crackerscome on, work with me, people.
>>11281505that's the way the cookie crumblesfuck, must be too tired already if i didn't get the joke until you said it.
>>11281506i considered spelling it out, but I thought it'd be a lot funnier if you wracked your brain like, what part of my post- OHHhhhh
>>11281504>having to fold up an entire leg on the bodyThat's...not how his transformation works. BOTH legs become his tail - they slide out of the hip joint and hang behind his body, so they contribute no mass to the snake head at all. The arm pylons are thinner than Colada's robot legs, which also slims him down significantly; the reason the head looks segmented from the hood is because they were going for realism - a cobra's hood is its upper ribcage, and starts below its actual neck, while Colada's starts at the corners of his mouth for some reason and makes his head look fatter and fused to his body. Considering the size class difference (Colada's a Deluxe, while Night Viper is only a Basic, roughly around the size of a modern Core class), Night Viper is the more impressive of the two.
>>11281509ohhh they do the thing I wantedwell that's pretty cool then. but the arm pylons still add too much.>upper ribcageyeah but like a lot of reptiles, their ribcage starts immediately>night viber is a basicseriously? okay, that does get more respect from me then. That's impressive for a basic.
God Bomber, Sky garry, and Wing saber should kissOr appear in other media more idk
Also forgot to mention - they managed to squeeze a springloaded 'lunging' feature in there as well (the yellow 'gem' on the top of his hood is the button) - that pic had his head extended so I could pose him with his mouth open. The mechanism is isolated to the top part of his hood so the entire snake head can tuck into the torso in robot mode, which is why he has the arm covers to make up the rest of the hood - those parts really have nowhere else to go due to how tiny he is, but they managed to make do with the extra mass by using it to hide his Spark on one side and a flip-out poison blade on the other.
>>11281515yeah that does explain the head being so separated.
>>11281515meant for >>11281511
>>11281517it's okay matey I knewCobras are really cool. i wish they were real.
What are some big preorders /tfg/ is looking forward to next year?
>>11281518>Cobras are really cool.Yes. Yes they are. Here's an actually brand-new pic of him, since the last one was from my dual review of him and Savage Noble a while back. He and Rattrap are totally besties.
Omega Prime and Riobot Soulgain are the big ones for me this year
>>11281522Rattrap is trying to make up for the loss of Choppaface>>11281520it's so weird that I'm not looking forward to squat. not a single new beast guy has been announced. there's the collab guys but I'm not sold on them completely.
>>11281526>it's so weird that I'm not looking forward to squat. not a single new beast guy has been announced. there's the collab guys but I'm not sold on them completely.And Trans Art doesn't do anything for you either?
>>11281526>it's so weird that I'm not looking forward to squat.I agree - other than the G2 Grimlock, who's someone I've been waiting decades for, there's literally nothing else new that's catching my eye. It's a strange feeling, really.
>>11281528too spensive, usually wrong scale.I did get a 3p TM2 Cheetor black recolor, because I just kinda wanted a cool weird monster cat on my shelf, and didn't care if he was huge because he's a new character.>>11281529my wallet likes it, thoughthe disappointing part is knowing.. not only are there no current products i want, no previews or announcements, but even on top of that, when they DO come out... I'm not being an idiot again and buying it all right away, I'm gonna see what happens. See if a new better version comes out. See if it immediately goes on sale, that kinda shit. I was stupid to preorder the whole first wave or two of Kingdom from Hasbro Pulse.
relevant to snake discussion
>>11281537Speaking of 'snake discussion', since it is now going to be the Year of the Snake, and we DID actually get an Easter Zodiac Year of the Dragon toy last year, what are the odds of us getting an actual new snake guy? As far as I know, Colada and Night Viper are the only two existing snakeformers, so...would we be getting a whole new guy, or a repaint of one of the two? If the latter, which mold do you think they'd use?
>>11281530Any thoughts on the upcoming two-pack of Legends scale 3P Cheetor/Ravage?
>broken parts on a MP again How embarrassing Instead of tabs they should be a long 1 cm extension. Pic>Last transformers haul of the year I hope the blokees devastator looks good or else it be a wast of money even if these are cheap
>>11281546legends-scale is not for me. i'm very impressed with the engineering on that thing for its size, but honestly i want them to be a nice big size.
>>11281520>the gattai fighbird is releasing next yearoh neatI was a bit disappointed with might gaine because his train mode kinda sucked, but the robot mode was sleek at least
>>11281550Aye, that's fair. The lack of midscale beasties moving forward is definitely a bit of a disappointment.I've got the opposite problem, MP scale doesn't gel with me despite how refined and impressive the engineering at that scale can get. Bots that are a hand, hand-and-a-half, in size are where I find the most fun.
Don't tell me we need to wait for the year of the rabbit for Stampy.
>>11281561yeah exactly. I mean I feel like you HAD to make MP scale what it is for beast guys, in order for Cheetor to be in scale with Megatron (and to have any chance of doing rattrap. as it is blackarachnia was pretty compromised in beast mode)But that doesn't change the fact that it's a big bulky mass of panels, and that's kind of unpleasant to hold, looking at videos and how they sway. I grew up with chunky stuff plastic figures and that's how I likes em. Nice medium size..hell I'll go as high as two hands
Just a small mod. Enlarged the hole on the stock gun's handle so it fits minicon ports.
Storage/resting question. Does it put less stress on the figure to store em in robot or vehicle mode? Wanted to store some guys away to clean up and vehicle mode seems convenient but something tells me it might be putting longterm stress on tabs and such. Or is it more a matter of depends on the specific toy?
>>11281793>Or is it more a matter of depends on the specific toy?Pretty much this. I have almost all my classics and animated guys stored in vehicle mode to save space, but if you notice that the toy seems to be putting stress on parts in vehicle mode, better leaving it in robot mode.
>>11281801Thanks anon. It's 86 prime and somewhat 86 bee worrying me the most. Prime has this plat under his front wheels for rhe blast effects that, to me, uncomfortably pushes them apart and he's quite folded up on himself to top it off
>>11281811Plate*The*
>>11281793Basically everything get stored in vehicle modeThat's when they're at their most compact/flatThe only trouble is helicopters
>I won't have my god fire convoy for over a week because shipping wont resume on the site I used until next weekPain...
>>11281833I usually do this, but if I'm in a hurry I just pile up the robots and come back to them later. Transforming a couple dozen bots during a movie is a good way to organize them for storage, and keeps you in practice.
>>11281833>The only trouble is helicoptersAnimated Blackout is one of the flew I have stored in robot mode for that reason, and even then I'm scared of the blades getting bent.
>>11281243The empress needs her Perceptor shaped throne.
>>11281968https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/megaempress-head
>>11281928I'm really tempted to get mainline Nightbird, she looks a lot better than SS even with fucked up color choices.
>>11282025>even with fucked up color choicesThose make her a decent Roulette base, but she got expensive.
Aside from gigatron, and convoy, what's the best car robot figures to get? I was thinking of getting sky byte, he is a cool shark, the purple recolor is neat too
Wish I could recreate this, it's funny
>>11282062Scourge/Black Convoy. The mold still holds up pretty well and has a ton of features. The color scheme is also great and sets itself apart from the usual Nemesis Primes/Black Convoys.
>>11281928i believe in evil women supremacy
>>11282094I want a figure of that design so I'll probably get this version
>>11282115You get links to 3d printing sites after downloading the files, some are expensive tho
>>11282062>>11282094>>11282118Another vote for Black Convoy. I own it and it's just a badass toy.
Inclusion of two different sized human Ginrai figures for different purposes, makes this figure seem a paradox - he doesn't even scale well with himself. :/
>>11282212kek
>>11282212That paint matching, oh boy
>>11282212Its an ok bonus for pics like
>>11282212Erm actually that's beloved Transformers character Hi-Q
>>11282212One is Ginrai, the other is High-Q>>11282229It’s red on blue plastic, what do you expect
>>11281520God Fire Convoy of course, The Fallen, 86 Devy, and maybe Star Convoy. Also super curious to see how Bruticus is gonna turn out.Looking forward to regular figs like Red Alert and Gelshark too of course, but you specified "big" so.What're those nonTF guys there, are they Brave lads?
>>11282212How big are these next to Titan masters?
>>11281520The selection of the 13 Primes chosen to be released this year, including Star ConvoyMaybe Trypticon.
Does galaxy shuttle have the yellow curse? I was looking for astrotrain but the battle damage and How hard to get it keeps me away
Give your legacy Arcee some tits RIGHT NOW (also available for slipstream and windblade)https://www.ebay.com/itm/405446049825
>>11282353This looks like utter shitStop playing dress up with turds
>>11281468That's more than the actual Arcee would cost.
>>11282341Astrotrain did, but it wasn't widespread. Haven't heard of GS having it, but that was thr og release, so all bets are off for this one.
>>11282353>56 views in the last 24 hoursPeople out there really hot-gluing their CHUGs?
>>11282380It was linked here, and presumably the previous person saw it posted somewhere else.
>>11282380that doggy is cuteI've never understood the cum-on thing. cum goes in. that's where it goes. you're not supposed to see it, she's supposed to feel it.
>>11282353>legacy ArceeAwful mold, not even a good looking headsculpt.
>>11282251>it’s red on blue plasticI see three different shades of red on just the side of the truck.
>>11282212I think you could display the Headmaster Juniors with the transforming Ginrai to scale well. Otherwise, they all share the same height. Well, wait for half the year, cause the kids are with Godbomber.
>>11282251>what do you expectmore. coats.have they ever heard of primer?
>>11282212This is supposed to be a masterpiece btw
>>11282251Dumbass. I always picture the one from MP-60 as Hi-Q. It's supposed to be toy-accurate colors, what do you expect?
>>11282353These look fine, people be overreacting. I wouldn't buy them though because coloring them myself is too much work
>>11282492jesus. it looks like a half-competent custom
>>11282512jesus was a carpenter not toy designer
>>11281520got into brave last yeargetting the Toyrise GGGG and maybeeee the Action Toys J Decker.god I love super modesshame God Fire Convoy costs an arm and a leg.
>>11282518Isn't Fire Convoy around the same price as Toyrise GGGG?
>>11282516Most of g1 transformers had wooden prototypes.
>>11282518Happy as I am that Brave is getting so many projects nowadays I think I'll just stick with GSC's stuff. Keep it uniform, y'know?>ignore the SoC ChoRyuJin I got a couple weeks ago
>>11282516um ackshually the greek word used is 'arktos' which means any builder. basically a blue collar job. Could have been stonework or whatever.>>11282523of course the originals were made of pressed onion meal, but kids didn't care for the taste.
>>11281520Omega Prime, Star Convoy, Trypticon, Omega Supreme are the big ones. Some of the Primes like The Fallen and maybe Onyx if he looks good, the combiners.
>>11282531I got that Might Gaine because I had a KO of the original as a kid and always liked it. It's my first experience with GSC, and while it's fine, I feel like I'm just not the intended customer. I mostly collect CHUG figures, so I've become both accustomed to and enamored with articulation and the this guy lacks a fair bit of it. The stuff Takara themselves is doing with Brave looks more my speed though.
>>11282518God Fire Convoy honestly feels like a better sell than the Toyrise Genesic. Genesic is going for 188 on Amazon, and for what it is, 60 more expensive than it should be.
>>11282251Hi-Q the human or Hi-Q the Nebulon? Either way I don't think they are 10-12ft tall>>11282324No idea, clipped it from Wotafas viddy and he didn't compare. I'm curious too, I think the transforming one must be comparable since the entire truck and trailer is similar in size to the Legends Super Ginrai.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jpb2TmYdvc
>>11282519>>11282641yeah I get that but from where I'm from Habro Pulse has cucked us by making Fire Convoy twice the price of GGGG, S$225 GGGG vs S$429 Fire Convoyalso im not really into Omega Prime so I'm holding off from getting him. And GGGG will have future cross compatibility so thats a plus for it.
>>11282531watching Brave really opened my eyes to what exactly I like for mechasIt tickles my brain in just the right way, also explains why I like JG1 as much as I do.heres to hoping someone makes a proper Big Volfogg
Know what? We tread back to the time Power of the Primes made Battletrap individual Transformers for each component, and sell these Duocon-style sets as individual Deluxes by selling the Multiforce this way. We get Wingwaver, Dashtracker, and Machtackle (the second one has to be renamed to not make two of its members feel too similar in English), all so that we can still get Landcross despite the loss of Core Class.
>>11282655>GGGGThey need to add a new G: Great Genesic Gaogaigar.
>>11282772"Great" was so overused that they actually lampshaded it in J-Decker.
>>11282575Big transforming robots are kind of a new market for GSC. They are very different from figmas and nendos.So the growing pains are pretty obvious.
so how exactly are the new constructicons different from the combiner wars ones? asking because from a glance they look nearly identical aside from the size and maybe plastic quality
>>11282830Knees and elbow bent.
>>11282831didn't the takara releases have those already?
>>11281520I haven't been paying attention, what's this new Powermaster Prime up in the right corner? I miss my G1 toy and would buy a modern version if it costs less than one of my kidneys.
>>11282830>so how exactly are the new constructicons different from the combiner wars ones?They scale better individually and are slightly less hollow. That's basically it.
>>11282851Masterpiece Super GinraiStores should be getting their preorders in now
>>11280993>cool looking alt modesyou're retarded for buying a studio series 86 then if thats your focus. they always sacrifice the alt mode to focus on the robot
>>11282840Yes, Hasbro is coping. If someone has UW set then there is no point in getting smallstator.>>11282874Putin sent him to meatgrinder.
>>11282874So you came here to talk about namefags instead of toys?
>>11282874Lots of anons left in disgust, you can see it in the reduced average of user photos posted per thread. Like Ireland after the potato famine this general still hasn't recovered to pre-catastrophe levels.>>11282880>Putin sent him to meatgrinder.Hope he's rotting in a ditch.
>>11282874He just lurks and makes them the instant the image limit is up, surely unrelated to the useless imageposts that sometimes get madeYour pic might happen again but until then
>>11282884He moved to lego general
>>11282887>seven Lego generals alone, obviously none of them at image limit, let alone other time-wasting threadsAh. I see.
The holidays have come and gone once again.I didn't buy any transformers.
>>11282911Nothing on sale that looks fun, anon? Maybe a cheap low-expectations grab that might give you some joy?
>>11282883>you can see it in the reduced average of user photos posted per threadMaybe they don't have time anymore? I lurk more and post but need time (which I lack) to make new photos.
>>11282913I checked my local meijers the day after Christmas and didn't even see a transformer display, which is pretty unusual. Maybe they were in the middle of reorganizing post-holidays or something, idk. I'd buy that little G1-looking core Optimus if I saw him, he looks neat.
>>11282911And I just chugged for discounted United Tidal Wave.
>>11282916>no TF display at allIt's over...
I'm not much into TF toys, but legacy toxitron sideswipe speaks to me and I might try grabbing himLine seems well received but I'm always wary around hasbro
>>11282973it's probably fine, haven't heard any particular issues with that sideswipe mold.
>>11282973He’s the only guy I grabbed from the toxitron line, he’s pretty good
>>11282973I really should give him hawaian shirt and magnum.
>>11283044aviators
Bug Battles
>>11282647>that side panelremind me how much this cost
>>11283067badass
>>11282883I don't take photos because I don't have a lightbox and people don't want to see my shitty cell phone pictures of the same toys everybody else owns.
>>11282863the new ones unironically look worse
>>11282212We better get a masterpiece Overlord eventually then
>>11283182>people don't want to see my shitty cell phone pictures of the same toys everybody else owns.That's where you're wrong kiddo
>>11283207I would but email verification/timer and pictures coming out sideways deters me. =(Is there anything that fixes the issue on mobile without needing to transfer them to my PC?
>>11283232My ancient tablet stopped working with captcha a couple years ago so I've just gotten used to transferring before posting. I don't know what's up with the timer though, at first I'd heard that it had something to do with whether or not you had a certain cookie in your browser? I haven't had to wait to make a post but I see people complaining about it now and then. I'm not sure why it happens, it certainly never fixed the spamming issue on certain other boards.Also I really want to find just the right size coin and stick it in that hole on your shelf. A US dime maybe?
>>11283182I for one like seeing pictures of people's toys. If you're taking pictures of them it means you're enjoying them.
>>11283201>japanese>making bad guy toysDon’t count your chickens
>>11281257I decided to go for the blockhead kit off of ebay since Nonnef is taking too long (and requiring toyhax on top)
>>11283182you can get pieces of white cardboard for cheap as fuck. i actually used amazon vine to get them for free.
>>11283232shit, you're getting that new email verification bulljazz?
>>11283201We're more likely to get a Star Convoy-esque titan redo of Overlord than a Masterpiece, and that's a good thing.
>>11281257>No kit really has a look that appeals to meWhats that, animated or cyberverse?
>those arms$90 btwhttps://news.tfw2005.com/2025/01/02/age-of-the-primes-commander-silverbolt-behind-the-scenes-529132
>>11283182>I don't have a lightboxWhat a coincidence, I don't either>>11283232I've seen people go one about this verification timer but I've never seen itNot even on mobile
>>11283182I don't mind as long as you're not dogseth81
>>11283333I know the arm connectors are on his feet, but man I hate those planks look, one of the worst shots they could've choosed to promote it.
>>11283182I just use the corner of my bathroom because the white walls/counter reflects light about as well as I could expect from an interior shot. I could probably find a better place in my house for it but I'd rather not be judged by the other people in my house for standing around posing my toys for pictures.Anyway go for it, man, as long as you can frame it well enough to show the thing off. Honestly, it helps some people decide whether or not they want the thing if you try out different poses to test the range of motion or articulation. For what it's worth also, you can buy pose stands for dirt cheap, and in bulk. Opens up a lot of new dynamic display options.
>>11283363Press [Right Stick] to destroy Shockwave
>>11283333>titan master compatibleNeat, but why?
>>11283385Same reason SS86 Prime and HasLab Omega Prime are;Just for funsies
>>11283385>Neat, but why?Not really, you can't close the cockpit with them inside, thats just a gap left because they recyled Legacys Cyclonus nosecone transformation.
>>11283394That also is really weird with the windows.
>>11283363even toys like playing with toys
>>11283394cant lean back a bit?
>>11283423>No articulated fingersthis is going to suck so much ass like with menasor
>>11283423Man, the head just doesn't look right.
>>11283427Not even siege Jetfire style hands
>>11283423Absolute dogshit
>>11283423Wow absolutely garbage I HATE TRANSFORMERS AGGHH
>>11283423I hate this dude and all his components in every form, damn. Just more money to save up for star convoy ig
>>11283423long thighs save lives. i'm afraid this is terminal.
>>11283423This is about the only part that I like. But that's just because I generally like how Superion, as a design, looksI don't care for the split arms nor door shins that barely approximated sense on MenasorAnd I really don't like that dome head
>>11282877>you're retarded for buying a studio series 86That's how this whole discussion started--me saying I DIDN'T fucking buy SS86, then everyone got butthurt and I had to explain why I like different things than them.You dumb fucking asshole.
>>11283242Yeah I'm sure burner emails make the timed captcha redundant in regards to spammers. I just want my photos to come out the right direction.
>>11283498
>>11283498Oh ffs
>>11283498100% of restrictions only hurt the law-abiding and ignore the people whom they created that rule intending to restrict.
How's Studio 86 Optimus? I'm mostly a Beast Wars guy, but I love the 86 movie and he looks cool.
Lts haul from today
>>11283518Okay, but too underwhelming for the price/class. Also not actually that accurate to the 86 animation model, ironically.
>>11283518Good but overpriced, if it's the only optimus you'll pick up i guess it's good.don't wait for a price drop, if you see it at 90$ it's probs as good as it'll get.
>>11283524Shockblast is the only reason I tolerated Energon.
>>11283524I wish they reissued SS Shockwave. I'm not sure about buying the chinese KO
>>11283333>Built like a Fridge>Those absolutely hideous sock puppet mouth feet>Droopy tits>Gappy ass arms>Ugly fins hanging off the legsHoly shitIMAGINE spending $62 + Tax + Shipping on this turd
>>11283498Depends on the phone and apps you've got, but editing and cropping a photo on the phone typically forces it to save in the correct orientation, rather than that being stored in the exif (which gets stripped on upload)
>>11283533in fairness, most transformers today have sock puppet mouth feet
It might be the sour grapes, but I'm really loving Armada Unicron's color scheme compared to the Movie or Prime.
>>11283530My only gripe is he's very pointy.Gotta be careful when handling.
>>11283530Anon, he is repacked this year. Wave 2 or 3.
