old >>11250872Happy new year!
Newage really needs to do a Grimlock 2.0. He's so shrimpy compared to the other 3 besides Swoop and he's the only one with leg covers.
>>11278239I just think the guns are too much
>>11278272Honestly I agree but I like them.
I forgot who's making this big fella again?
>>11278293Lewin Resources
>>11278239I need videos of this guy to have the tiniest transforming transformers as scale reference.
>>11278239>>11278244Fuck off. If it's not G1 cartoon accurate, it's not Transformers. We're the backbone of this hobby.
>>11278352falseflagging should be a bannable offense
>>11278352>G1 toon accurateWhat are you, 50? Isn't it past your bedtime?
>>11278359I'd take le tooner meme over greebly, inconsistent clusterfuck any day desuChinks, as usual, cannot design robots worth a shit
>>11278359You're GODDAMN RIGHT I am. And guys like me are the sole reason this hobby's gonna stay afloat after that GODDAMN Trump gets in office. And what guys like me want is accuracy from the CARTOON WE WATCHED. Get a job.
>>11278375This has to be Patriot Prime.

>>11278679Is that a new promo pick? I'm really hoping that and Supermax are released in 2025.
Didn't realize the guys who made the Planet X toys got a series with a comic and all that stuff. Funny how the universe functions.
>>11279221I'm pretty sure the comics were first weren't they?

>>11279228>Simon FurmanHow do you think?
>>11279227Well at least the robot mode is good.

Only a two week delay for Infinite Finity Drift, not too bad
What are some cool examples of figures like Battle Tanker that are super mode add-on parts for a figure that didn't come without them?Also generally interested in 3rd party TF designs with super modes.
>>11280391You mean to exclude the TFs that already have super modes like PMOP or Star Saber? What about super mode addons for figures that should've had them but didn't like DNA's Animated OP and Prowl kits? Or the 3D printed Armada stuff.
>>11280391If you're strictly looking for add-ons that grant super modes, then there's your classic Fansproject City Commander, and I know there was some one off company that made armor for FoC Magnus tooKFC did a Victory Leo for MP Star SaberAnd I know there's been a few Jet upgrades for various movie Primes
>>11280434>3D printed Armada stuffAll of what you mentioned sounded interesting, but what's this?
>>11280450There are Chinese 3D printed Jetfire-pants and Overload cannons for Legacy Armada OP, and Tidalwave armor for Megs. The same maker also made IDW Final Battle Armor for CW Ultra Magnus.
>>11278239What has happened to liketoys Davis? Is that what it evolved to or is Davis still coming? >>11278352 Davis is more toon accurate
>>11280522Liketoys' Metroplex was always a made-to-order item like the rest of his items outside the Jinbao collabs. That nonsense about mass production was by some canadian on facebook pretending to be liketoys but misinterpreting "mass production (more than one)" to mean "mass production (100000000000+ sets in full plastic injection molded glory for just 3.50 maplebucks)"This thread from Dec 2023 shows off their first fulfillment. https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8800204526No idea if they made any other pieces or if it's still even available for order.
>>11280523I thought I heard that it was going to be available at the show.z store as separate pieces that would be sold. I guess I was mistaken. Also the link doesn’t work.
>>11280525>Also the link doesn’t work.works on my machine, your end probably needs a VPN because it's Chinese internet.
>>11280525>at the show.z store as separate pieces that would be soldFT Fort Max?
>>11280538I might have confused the two
>>11280554maybe someone can print an adapter for the rest of it. https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9374550312
I hate buying recolors but I might have to for this.
>>11280795
How long does it usually take items that are in stock to arrive from Magic Square after you order them?
Just wanted to say I finally got my hands on a metagate brave warrior. I got the cheapo white version from tfsource for xmas (it was $45) and i must say, its amazing. Like, when I first saw the blue drift version, I wanted it immediately even though I dont much like the character. But everything about the figure is great. Paint, posabillity, transformation is intuitive but not mind bendingly retarded. It honestly reminds me most of an upgraded/3rd party take on an Alternity figure more than anything.Just throwing it out there in case anyone was thinking of getting it.
>>11280391Civil Warrior General Grant came with a trailer to make a non-canon Dreamwave super mode in jetwing style. It was a cool thing to do with the trailer mass.
>>11280849lets try that again, sorry for the guam posting.
>>11280799Were the open hands included with the Starscream release or is this a new feature?
>>11280795Would be really sick if they plan on doing Armada Optimus at this scale with his Trailer.
>>11280912>Would be kicking up a couple of crunchy little kino's if we got more in this kino supremo of a scale

>>11280913You touch kids Pedothena
So much better. Only complaint is that the wings could have been designed to sweep a hair back instead of being sprung slightly forward.
>>11281198The best thing DNA have ever done.
>>11281217Probably. It really does come damn close to making a mediocre figure perfect.
>>11281198>had to let this go due to a bunch of other shit coming in>sold out every fucking where
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQnlKFy2vcYThis entire thing came out of left field. Poor Mangmotion keeps getting stuck in YT Kid jail though.

This coming year I'm getting MS legends bruticustheir MP Swindle looks awesome though, it's speaking to me like the green goblin mask to get it and the other MP bruticus components
>big ass crane scythe or gun>transforms into the either the combiner chest or IDW style leg>Build-a-fig Megatron out of the combiner bits>that mess vehicle modeThis is the most wack ass Hook. >>11281455It could have been better. The armor bits need to be light or the base figure wouldn't be able to stand though.
>>11282008Dreamstar designers are so unhinged I love it. Their Prowl can also combine with the chest for a sixth (?) mode.
Are there any CHUG scale 3p Toxitrons or Pepsi Convoys or Black Convoys worth a shit?
>>11282084No toxitrons, no pepsi primes, and the only CHUC black convoy I can think of is the old maketoys repaint of their prime, called striker noir I think. Maybe the also ancient perfect effect ginrai. CHUG stuff is hard to come by nowadays.
>>11282008They should put out either a filler kit or replacement rifle to give the fire engine form some articulation and make the rifle look like a thing, not just a cosplay piece.It's just sad to have it look terrible if you see any of the underside for an underslung rifle.

>>11282420That reminds me that I saw a dude the other day have both his arms get ripped off.The stories about this thing being shipped broken sounds like one thing but the arm thing alone makes it a huge pass.
>>11282391The backpack sucks and so do the shoulder pauldrons.
>>11282462Its cool but I don't think the vehicles look as good as Superion's realistic jets. They should have done Menasor or Liokaiser instead.
>>11280795>>11280797>>11280799>>11280800What company did these again? Ive only been following 3p stuff a little bit but I need that Ramjet for my Universe shelf.

>>11282562I think all three are completely differentGet whichever you think you like the look of the most
Newage is something else man
>>11282979I prefer the official transformation, but this alternate foot configuration is an option
>>11278239are quality knockoffs of official molds considered 3rd party around these parts?
>>11282979That’s totally the same paint
>>11283176Yes but you can post them in /tfg/ for laughs.
>>11283176Do you mean like FourStar or more like Korean releases
>>11278352>I do not care if the toys came first! I do not care if the toys had detail! My shitty parents did not buy them for me when they beat me because the bible said to, I only had the cartoon, every new toy must lok like cheap simplified coloring book art or it is WRONG!The first amendment was a mistake.

>>11280848Usually ~2 weeks
>>11283944Dead cats bro, they’re crying
>>11278239That's going to be $1300 plus tip.
>>11283951Not bad considering great robot base is nearly 1K at 2 feet without upgrade parts.
>>11283951Thats lowballing it
I’m so torn on this figure, it kind of slaps but it feels like yet another placeholder
>>11283951before the coof it would've been $600 tops
>>11283281I mean more like this guy. I was considering getting him off aliexpress because he looked like a good, cheap alternative to the official sets.I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with these sorts of toys or sellers and if there's better alternatives for a cheap but poseable Bruticus.
>>11283944Keep crying bugman, your chinkslop garbage designs will never be good.If you separated and stripped the color off of every limb they wouldn't even look like they go together at all. Consistency is the bane of tasteless chinamen.
>>11283979Thought you meant that Oversized Korean Combaticons release, but sure, shouldn’t be too bad
>>11283979Those CW KOs are alright, close to the originals in materials. QC can be wonky but the originals didn't have good QC that time. There's just a few minor changes like certain ball jointed heads switched to swivels, I forgot which.
>>11283969Yeah it looks good, but for what it's going for it could easily be outdone by something else like a year from now. Such is the curse of chasing toon accuracy, it's rare that you get something that feels definitive.
>>11283969I hate the feet. Everything else is this flat color and then at the bottom just plain steel toes, huh? Sorry, it looks like crap to me.
>>11283943The projection here is unreal. Go support Missing Link if you want that over detailed crap. Toon-Accuracy is what people buy Transformers for. You're nothing more than a vocal minority. Go see a doctor too.
>>11284109Missing Link is entirely different from Classics, old MP and Chink aesthetic though.
>>11283979>>11284023Can confirm the chopper and car mold heads got turned into swivels.
Deathsaurus on legends scale and let me die
I finally opened my Iron Factory girls seeker set after forgetting it on my desk repeatedly for like a year straight, it really makes me wish there were other cute girl robot transformers.
>>11283969I think it’s under $90 it will make rounds regardless of what comes next. This is a filler piece for FT fanboys unless it’s super cheap, as odd as that sounds.It’s one of those things where you think high articulation would be its strong suit but it’s just on par with a random legends toy.
>>11284196I hear you on that anon, I'd love some more cute transformers.I'm looking forward to the IF Blackarachnia, but that looks to be the only small fembot on the horizon right now, the others seem to be in MP-ish scale.
>>11283969Not sure why everyones hating on him, I think he's greatI only have issues with the transluscent plastic being too clear and the indicators being blue instead of white
>>11283975Before shipping maybe
>>11284196Bigfirebird Kabuto, Bingo Toys TM2 Megatron and, if you're ok with shellforming, Scifigure Nebula.
>>11284259shipping would've been free. I think you forget just how good we had it before Covid. Lewin Optimus was under $350 shipped for a figure over 2 feet tall, and probably more complex. This figure is about twice the size, I could see it capping at $800 tops back then.My theory is a lot of 3P were planning their products around costs before Covid and due to long production times, it blew up in their faces with the post-Covid costs.
>>11278334>>11278239That has to be the Metroplex with the worst city-base mode, what a waste of size, shit doesn't even include even 1 of his 3 companions.
>>11284393As someone who doesn't care about city modes, what is actually wrong with the new Metroplex's city mode because it just looks like any other city bot to me but huge.
>>11284400>what is actually wrong with the new Metroplex's city mode because it just looks like any other city botOnly the chest opens,but the legs and arms stay closed, there are no inner ramps, garage stations, repair bays, mounted guns or molded screens for smaller bots to look or interact with, it just slides the shin ramps to nowhere while the original and T30 legs worked as highways for cars to enter the base.Also there are no building windows anywhere on the new Metroplex, thats what made it look like a city on the official versions, the hands don't even attempt to transform into towers or anything.
>>11284400Here you can see how the designer didn't gave a shit about the playset functionality, other than the chest door and helipad theres nothing for smaller figures to do on it.
>>11284431You gotta get all the pieces
>>11284431With a figure this size, having more hinges and panels might have been unstable in robot mode, and "smaller" can be ANY other transformer toy.Imagine this as a playset for new age or Dr wu figures, it would easily be a massive base for them.
>>11284386They're probably gonna jump in price again with the tarrifs. Add in import taxes and whatever else and you might be SOL for cheaper than a hastak MP without it being cheaply done.
>>11284445ALL the pieces.
>>11284471I mean, just LOOK at this.
>>11284184Don't the 10"~13" Deathsauruses and Victory Sabers on the market already scale with IF Liokaiser? Or do you mean some 5" IDW version which is not as massive?

>>11284641I feel like they could have done a more creative color for Overload here but I don't know jack about SG so eh I'm just blabbering.
>>11284431The G1 figure really proves my point thar metro is better when he's blocky Compared to this bank breaker or even t30, he actually looks like a bunch of buildings and towers stacked together, probably better than any other cityformer
>>11284471>>11284474That doesn't look good, anon, nothing connects or has dedicated spaces, looks like a random pile of toys while you clean your displays.
>>11284921Never said it looked good, just that it's at such a size that it could easily be a display zone itself.As for stuff connecting, I'm sure the people that can afford the big bot can print off custom connection ramps and stuff to make it all work better, but that's very much the nature of Autobot city.
>>11284934>, I'm sure the people that can afford the big botThey won't care, probably already have better custom builds with leds everywhere.
>>11284945You think anyone that has the time and money to make a hobby grade transformers city would have interest in such a kludge of a franchise?
>>11284732T30 also has building detail, but its molded on his ribs (takara version has the windows painted) and under his guns.
>>11284955Some do, most waste their money on huge overprices bayverse statues tho.
>>11284641>>11284715Is shattered glass what they're going for...? Couldve done Ultra Magnus' colors if so.
>>11284239It’s true that we’ve reached a point where articulation is rarely a differentiator between scales. MP figures can have functional hydraulic joints and spreading fingers, but most Legends figures these days have ankle rockers, ab crunches, and butterfly shoulders.I would happily buy this Sideswipe and their upcoming Prowl in CHUG scale, but they’re a little unrefined and random as MPs. Still tempting at the low price though.
>>11285046Shattered Glass for Optimus and Astrotrain (I think?) for Jetfire.I think they went for an OC because Armada Magnus is an Autobot
>>11285067>chrome diaclone toes>clear blue toon headlights ???
>>11285110>headlights
>>11285145Still looks like shit.
