>>11545330At least Motor master's trailer has always been there.Just annoying the middle section doesn't work into the combination.
THIS WAS ALMOST TOO EASY, STARSCREAM
>>11545350How does that Megatron scale with ER Prime?
Shockwave's just gonna be a SkyByte retool, isn't he?
>>11545368It's slighty taller than SS86 Optimus and that one was a head taller than ER, so not well.
>>11545346I'm impressed by how they did it in Legacy, but as a kid I thought it was cook how both Motormaster's cab and trailer turned into the robot as it differentiated him a lot from Prime.>>11545330I don't like Menasor or Superion being these like frame combiners, and I know it looked like it on the show (don't care desu). But for Devastator he already was a serious partsformer, so I'm glad those parts can be condensed into one space when the team isn't combined. I'm wondering how Bruticus is going to work. I'm guessing Onslought's cab will be the bot, then the trailer with the cannon will be the frame/base? Also curious how they'll handle his chest plate.
ITS OVER
>>11545428Yeah no fucking shit, it’s been “over” since day 1, they were never doing a spino and people who mindlessly campaigned for it are delusional sheep with zero critical thinking skills. Congrats on pushing the vote to an option that never existed Go jack off to your stupid fan art
>>11545368like animated Optimus and megatron>>11545428we're so back
>>11545450spinowave tards at least have given us a chance at getting octwave (octopus)if we get octwave I will forgive the spinotards
>>11545428This fanbase has too many retards for fan votes to work.
>>11545350>Oh yeah? How come we didn't do this in season 1, mighty Megatron?
>>11545487I hate to be that guy but there was a 20 year time skipI think it's reasonable to say that both sides wore themselves down and combined with improvements in weapons technology it makes sense why the shots could be more lethal
>>11545428We already knew we weren't getting a Spino. There's a hundred million actual sea creatures they can choose from that would be far more interesting; I'm hoping for some form of crustacean.
>>11545428Faggots, I voted for Spinosaur or crab
>>11545490For me it's "their guns were underpowered the whole time"
>>11545491If it really is just Sky-Byte with a new head and "hand", I'm going to be annoyed.
>>11545493Then you are retarded, they said no fan-art/no spino at the very beginning
Pretty cool Optimus costume acessory sword at Spirit this year, $16.99. Looks a lot like the ones that came with a few figures.
>>11545106>Was she worth 70 bucks? I think she binned in price nowI mean, she's going for about as much as the average girlpla, so she probably won't get much cheaper - besides , a big chunk of that pricetag is because it's using the actual Transformers branding, so it was always going to cost more than a F.A.G. Materia or Architect. As for if she was worth it - well, I think so. It's not like she doesn't come with stuff - her gun, her Energeon axe, four faceplates, three different styles of bangs, and the detachable breastplate, plus a stand and those leg wheels that can fold down for more support Gourai-style. I just wish they hadn't bothered with the flesh-colored faceplates (which don't match any other part of her at all) and had given us two more robot face plates with more expressions (and maybe one with Prime's signature mouth shield).
>>11545497ALL I WANTED WERE SHARKS WITH FRICKIN' LASER BEAMS MOUNTED TO THEIR FOREHEADS!
>>11545499No they didn't. They said no exact fan art but not no spino at all.
>>11545402Hasbro already said cam, Unlike Adams’s machina, when they get to Predaking, they’ll need a 6th Predacon to be the frame below Razorclaw or else it won’t work.
>>11545455Say Shocktopus, idiot
>>11545529What is the goofy name for Anomalocaris like you have Crabwave and Shockopus?
>>11545402Unfortunately devastator's crotch ends up being super compromised because of all the extra junk they threw on to make it a trailer, they can't help but fuck things up for no good reason
>>11545546I'll take partsforming over a roided-up Long Haul.
>>11545496It makes some sense, they were short on energy, that was the whole reason they left Cybertron.
>>11545546>devastator's crotch ends up being super compromised because of all the extra junk they threw on to make it a trailerThe only compromised thing by the trailer panels is the waist rotation and it still has a perfectly natural range for any normal action pose.
Crab Shockwave, pretool of Rampage please.

>>11545642Why do you do this?
>>11545428Is that John Hasbro?
>>11545428Making this a vote without finalized designs was stupid.
>>11545683Then they would need to draw up 64 designs and only make 1. A lot of work for low-effort engagement bait.
an anglerfish can be cool but a thin plastic piece to hold the lightbulb part might not be ideal
>>11545402>I'm impressed by how they did it in Legacy, but as a kid I thought it was cook how both Motormaster's cab and trailer turned into the robot as it differentiated him a lot from Prime.I always fanoned it that since it was a big empty box, all of Motormaster's robot components shifted from the cab into the trailer and the cab was then able to condense into his feet. That was so he didn't have to be built as complicated as Prime who could shunt his trailer off somewhere, a more involved and elaborate design.
>>11545689They could have rolled it back to like 16 designs but I get you. It was all about engagement, not the final result.
>>11545689I assume they at least had 64 conceptsNapkin sketches or whatever
>>11545708bendy wire for sure.
>>11545708shockwave literally has a hose built into his design
>>11545499Spino isn't fanart though
What's the best Windblade that resembles the late stage IDW Til All Are One era Windblade?
>>11545796None of them really have a sculpt that resembles the same way her face was drawn in the comics, unfortunately, all of them have some weird puppetmouth lines - except for the Titans Return one I believe, which was directly based on Sarah Stone's art? So maybe go for that one.

>>11545844It's "smart" upscaled from a low resolution picture so details are garbled. When the details are so blurry they can't be resized, the upscaler just makes some shit up. Here's the actual box, the art still looks like ass.

Got my Rathalos Prime! I know someone else had him last thread, but as someone who's been a Monster Hunter fan since MH Freedom way back when, I wanted to give my own review of him.First thing's first, Rathalos mode. It's the form he's packed in, and the primary reason people would be getting him (nobody's buying him just to own another Optimus Prime). He's an Earthrise Airazor retool, which, as has been pointed out since he was revealed, really does do him a disservice - his beast head is comically tiny, and his tail is far too short and stumpy. On the other hand, though, he has some innovations that make him wear this mold better than any of the previous characters to use it - he takes a leaf out of Filch's book and uses wider, hollower shins so they can fold up much better against his chest, and his robot arms now tuck behind his back and up into the chest cavity behind his head, pulling his elbows inside and leaving only the robot shoulderpads sticking out. He also has pieces that peg into his hips that make them blend better with the rest of his red scales, so from the side, he no longer looks like he's just a dude squatting with his hands at his sides like Airazor, Terrorsaur and Filch did. His wings have decent articulation (his wing claws can't touch the ground, but in-game Rathalos actually just runs around like a chicken with his arms tucked into his sides anyway, so the range of motion here is actually accurate), and while you can't bend his poisonous tail forward, you can still do his well-known divebombing pose to an extent. I do wish that the joint that his head attaches to was another color (that weird grey is pretty distracting when his mouth is open), and that he had a blast effect port on his lower jaw so you could give him some fire breath (they were able to make it work with Crimsonflame, who's head is even narrower), but it is what it is.
>>11545961Robot mode. The transformation scheme is a little different from the previous uses of the mold, mostly due to the retooled backplate that holds the wings and head as well as because he has a whole new torso section. Contrary to the initial thought that the Rathalos head just 'hangs of the back' like Terrorsaur's, it actually just sticks straight up and pegs onto the back of the torso while the entire segment its attached to slides down, bringing the Rathalos wings to Prime's hips. The wings then fold around to the side to form the long side skirts of the Rathalos Tasset he's supposed to be wearing; the two silver pegs on the crotchplate are actually supposed to tab into the gaps in the wings to hold them in place, but doing so severely limits his leg articulation thanks to those weird folding panels on his shins (which exist only to hide the blue coloration there in Beast Mode and hang off the sides awkwardly in Robot Mode), but fortunately you can untab the wings and reposition them as needed.His overall design takes heavy design cues from the Generation 2 version of the standard Rathalos Armor set, but also blends some of Optimus Prime's elements into the design - specifically the blue shins and the Rathalos Helm being painted and molded to look more like Prime. For weapons and accessories, he includes both components of the Axelion Blade, as well as a 'Matrix' that's really just a Rathalos Ruby that he can hold (with one hand - his wrists don't rotate, so you can't really get him to grip it with both hands). The ruby stores on a peg on the hinge that connects his back piece to the rest of him, rather than directly inside the chest.
>>11545962For those who haven't played a MH game, Rath Prime's weapon is NOT a Sword and Shield (the actual Rath SnS, Corona, looks very different from this), but a Charge Blade known as the Axelion Blade. Charge Blades are a transforming weapon that relies on charging special phials located in the shield portion of the weapon with elemental energy. This can be done manually by holding down a button or through using standard slashing attacks until the sword glows, then hitting a button combination to transfer the charge over to the shield itself to store it...
>>11545964...and once you have all phials completely full and an active charge on both your sword component and shield component, you can then combine the two into a very large axe called a Morph Blade to start dishing out real damage, using the Amped Elemental Discharge attack to release all that energy at once as a series of explosions that will usually send a monster flying while breaking or crippling a ton of parts all at once, with the explosions reaching high enough that they can usually knock flying enemies out of the air in the process. Of course, you can still change your CB over to Morph Blade Mode and swing it around without charging it to land some decent damage, but the real power comes from crippling enemies with all that stored energy.Sadly, Rathalos Prime's Axelion is a little stumpy for an actual Charge Blade (the shield part should be much larger, and the sword part usually connects to a longer component that slides out of the shield and holds onto the blade itself, making the weapon in Morph Blade mode about as big as the Hunter), but it gets the point across. I'm just happy to see someone make a Charge Blade at all, since most Monster Hunter figures tend to stick to either the Greatsword, normal Sword and Shield, or Long Sword.Also, Fatalis retool from TM2 Megatron when? (Never).
>>11545965Lastly, some bonus pics - I've shown off my Soul of Chogokin G-Rank Silver Rathalos here before a few years back, but this seems like a good time to do a comparison; this would probably be more appropriate to do with the Silver Rathalos Prime repaint, but he's not releasing until November, and I don't own the red version of the Chogokin, so bear with me.
>>11545966The Chogokin tends to look a bit more accurate to the source material in both modes, though there are some elements that Rath Prime pulls off a bit better, particularly the weapons (the Chogokin's Sword and Shield aren't accurate to any version of Rathalos SnS in the franchise, nor is the Greatsword you can make by combining the bits). It also leaves the robot head hanging out between the wings in Beast Mode, and the Rathalos head becomes the left hand in Robot mode, plus the Rathalos wings (which have no real articulation) partsform to become the shield or Greatsword blade instead of being integrated into the design, so the transformation is far from perfect. Lastly, the Chogokin is made almost entirely of diecast metal, and it's become quite loose with age. I still love it, though, even though the pointy bits never fail to shred my hands whenever I handle it.
just got soundwave, i like his ugly bastard energy
>>11545967Final pic - Rath Prime with an actual Rathalos, specifically an Azure Rathalos. Rath Prime is a little pudgy compared to the real deal, and as stated, his head and tail are a bit small, but otherwise he's not a horrible representation. For those wondering about colors, the standard red Rathalos (what this version of Rath Prime is) tends to be a mid Low-Rank (easy) and/or early High-Rank (intermediate) monster in the series, Azure Rathalos is usually mid High-Rank, and Silver Rathalos (what both the upcoming repaint of Rathalos Prime and what my Chogokin are both supposed to represent) is G-Rank (extreme difficulty). other variants exist, but those are the main ones; there's also a female version of Rathalos known as a Rathian that also comes in multiple colors (standard Green, High-Rank Pink, and G-Rank Gold), so with another slight retool, it could theoretically be possible to milk this mold for a while; it might be cool to see a Pink Rathian Arcee at some point, though I doubt it'll happen.Anyway, while he could be better, I still like him, and am always happy to see more Monster Hunter stuff in general. I'd be happy to see another TF x MH crossover in the future, and not just a repaint.
he can be a little heroic, but his neck and arms are short, just like prime
anyone know where i can get ravage, preferably with prime shipping?
>>11545968Sadwave is sad. What do you think of his alt mode?
wait a second the goblin's green!
>>11545972i took thattoyguy's advice from his review, flipped the backplate around, and made him a hovertank and it's pretty neat
>>11545971>https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Studio-Bumblebee-Ravage-Action/dp/B09H1PKNRC/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HzLuOS5vS8HGmZvj9T9TkP1HTZbXgTlwRQfu4w-MLjhL--smyDBf-ViYBF1iPL5ClSuRHVoXpRc_xvcqDrD7Gs8Y8EqtWHCjrhwTfLB4ON9hzbAfIAHdJiEKc9iDYnbSe7qG6RwsGydoZrMTCrXx4w.tfAUFT9GCusvg44fdYzGQIpamY9fZQQgoKwIkupg1r0&dib_tag=se&keywords=bumblebee%2Bravage&qid=1756530140&sr=8-1&th=1
>>11545975Yeah, that definitely looks more satisfying - I wasn't a huge fan of his actual one.
>>11545961you really found the best way to pose that mode.. kudos.>poisonous tailI have only played the two nintendo MHs and even I know his claws are poisonous. his wife has the poison tail.naw i'm just givin you shit. this is a great review, man.>>11545962huh.. okay. still would have been better if the dragon head faced downward, though, so you could pretend it's a booster.>shin panelswow those look stupid. I'm also not at all fond of the knight visor thingy above his eyes. still, pretty gnar. i'd have mine right now but i'm too much of a cheapskate to pay the 4 dollars shipping til more shit arrives in my pile of loot.>>11545965well in fairness, charge blade's pretty new.>>11545966that is one awwwwkward attempt at a beast mode by chogokin. making the new guy actually look good by comparison.I wonder if we'll get upgrade kits for this guy.. probably not.>>11545969I'm with you. more MH forever.
>>11545977thanks, although that listing says it'll take 3 weeks or so to arrive. i also see it on tfsource, do they ship fast?
>>11545980>his claws are poisonousClaws, tail tip, and the spikes on his wings, actually. Rathian jus has a much higher chance of inflicting poison (while Rathalos has a higher chance of inflicting burn even though both spit fire).
>>11545980>I'm also not at all fond of the knight visor thingy above his eyesThat's how the armor looks, though.
Comparisons with Dramatic Capture
>>11545987a zoy? I did not know that. It's amazing how much the series changed between Tri and Rise. I went from 'constantly being hit even when I'm nowhere near the monster' to 'almost never get hit now even when I cling to his legs'>>11545988those both have a 'beak' on the visor. This has the inverse, it goes up, as if it's a pair of goggles with a nose rest, pushed up.
>>11545962Very thin waist Optimus
>>11545995well-obsoived. at least the waist almost fits the width of the hips, taking into account the hip armor, but then there's like a second set of hip armor, so..
>>11545997>there's like a second set of hip armorIt's all supposed to be one piece - the wings and the crotch armor make up a tasset, which is basically a war kilt. But yeah, his waist is pretty thin - especially jarring because Rathalos Armor tends to be bulky even on female characters.
>>11545999They should make the unicorn girl one.
>>11546000Is there any mold that is close enough to a horse for that to work?
Real AmazingSpino fans know his greatest design principle was doing something completely unique everytime. "Beastwave can only be a Spinosaurus" is unironically Tooner behavior.
OH NOWhat have you done?Explain yourself?
>>11546001Mach Kick
>>11546006That thing is like 20 years old. Do they even still have that one?
>>11546007They'll do a remake like the rest of Neo
>>11546001Mach Kick or Battle Unicorn, though BU is pretty small and both molds would need heavy retooling regardless.Also, it would need to be a fembot, since the iconic Kirin Armor set is the female version.
>>11546034figures. kirin's extremely masculine, but girls love unicorns.
>>11546048In this case, it was more a decision made by the marketing team. Most Hunter armor sets use the male version for merchandise and advertisements, but some sets, like Kirin, Nargacuga, Bone, and Rathian (obviously), tend to use the female variant to be the public 'face' of the set in promotional materials.
Such heroic nonsense...
>>11545465The "fan" votes are fake, bro. Hasblo already has their plans established beforehand.
>>11546005Fucking hilarious watching these people march off a cliff>DUDE WE CAN MAKE SHOCKWAVE A SEA THING AND GET HEARTS OF STEEL SHOCKWAVE>no battleship in voting options>T-T-THAT'S OK, WE CAN JUST VOTE FOR SEA CREATURE AND GET THAT COOL MEME DINOSAUR THAT ISN'T A SEA CREATURE >Hasbro: "we're not doing a spino"
>>11546005That guy is fucking retarded. Never heard of him before I looked up the viddy from your screen shot, won't watch the tard again. "transformers fans are stupid" and he, himself is prime example. "Just because no fan art does not mean no spino hurr durr, Nate said this, that and the other hurr duur". Nate also said the exact words: "we are not doing a spino". Fucking spastic, an actual dribbling one too, fix your lisp faggot.
One of my local Targets got Silverbolt. Should I wait it out and see if Hasbro will package all Aerialbots in one box.
>>11546289>box setThey will. The real question is are you willing to wait 2+ years for it?
Silverbolt is selling very poorly compared to the Constructicon 2 pack. He’s probably going to go on sale soon. I saw this coming early on but I dont care he was must have for me. But if youre on the fence I say just wait.
>>11545642Thanks anom
>>11546246Hasbro is really bad about making sea-anything unless they are forced to by forces such as team completion, so it is an overall improvement no matter what.
>>11546005They were going to make this no matter what result was had, youtubers are knuckledraggers.If we got Mirage Plane or Grimlock Gun or Starscream submarine people would be crying too.
>>11546332>Starscream submarineNah. Subscream would be cool. Null torpedoes.
>>11546005Why does Maxmc55 sound so gay, is it the accent?
>>11546279>"transformers fans are stupid" and he, himself is prime exampleThis is literally every Transformers fan on every Transformers message board, social website, and snarky wiki.Literally "Everybody is stupid except me!"
Why haven't I seen any comparisons between this guy and SS86 Megatron? Has the world completely forgotten him?
>>11546003Stop posting these shitty-ass designs.they fucking suck.This why people obsessed with classic designs and nobody buys shitty "sleek humans with armor" designs. It's because everybody looks the same.Literally every transformer you (i hope its not your art) posting is exact same thing but with wheel-leg or gun-arm or other stuff swapped while staying the same and having exact same design phylosophy.the artist you posting is awfulHere is what i mean:
>>11546457>Shits on an actually talented artist for "bad character design">Whilst glazing G1slopPost your work.
>>11546461your design skills suck.

Your conversation makes me want to draw a robot that discards good taste or practicality for things I like, but I haven't drawn anything in years and even at my peak I was just a shitter. Most likely I would just get frustrated and give up early.
>>11546457Tooners really are butthurt huh, lmao.

Blokees Devastator Kit for the Defender Version vehicles anyone? I think it ships Sept. 10
>>11546644The shilling for this thing is insane. I'm seeing it everywhere. I love all the reviewers saying>yeah you have to buy 3 full box sets of characters you don't care about and THEN you can buy the parts to make Devastator. Blind boxed shit is a plague.
>>11546644It'd be cool to have, but tracking down the pieces would be a pain in the ass at this point
>>11545980>well in fairness, charge blade's pretty new.NTA, but MH4U was 12 years ago, anon.
>>11546655I like them cuz they're lil guys
>>11546655That's 160 bucks total including the combining parts pack.At that point it's just better to buy all the SS86 Constructicons for 50 more and have fully transforming figures and a way bigger Devastator.
>>11546655>The shilling for this thing is insane. I'm seeing it everywhere.>holy shit bros it might be shilling!!! IT'S EEVERYWHEREeverybody just likes these tiny fun as fuck transformers.It's the best thing since Titans Return and Power of the Primes.it's different and it's cool, not a fucking big deal these are so popularIt's like Matchbox cars or Micro Machines but transformers.And it just started. We gonna have a fucking Bruticus and pretty much other combiners.>>11546674im buying both - it's not a big deal. Just don't buy both of them instantly and buy figures one by one?
>>11546680This. i fucking love these things. Even getting multiples of these are cool.>you can build devastator made of Hooks
>>11546655The Devastator is an optional bonus, you buy the box sets for the little guys and then you can pose them in little battle scenes and have fun.
>>11546688ThisPeople buying these with the goal of getting a Devastator are coming at it from the wrong angle
>>11546680Anon all those reviewers were sent the box sets and parts for free. Blokees has been pushing these little shits HARD. I'm sorry I scared you with the S-word but I'm glad you enjoy them. I'll stick with transformers that transform.
Should Transformers cross over with Thundercats?Transforming Thundertank?
>>11546699That's basically all that's left at this point, non?
>>11546699what the fuck is thundercats
>>11546450his face looks weird
>>11546690It's like buying a $500 Lego set for the exclusive minifig. Kind of missing the point.
>>11546694im sorry you feel whiny and mad that people liking Blokees.I assume i would feel terrible if i was a boomer that feels missed out when people enjoying new stuff in hobby>>11546683Thanks anon! im building a Bonecrusher Devastator myself, lol
>>11546660yeah but 12 years in the 2020s is fucking nothingit was gen 4, and we're on either gen 5 or possibly gen 6 depending how they're counting it.
>>11546699>>11546705What the fuck is a samoflange?yes. but i have to admit, I wouldn't buy it. I just think that's neat.
>>11546723Wonder if Transformers has funny outtakes like that
Blokees are one step removed from Funko Pops
>>11546741They look like the source material and have articulation, so are at least 2 steps.
>>11546764Evergreen isn't toon accurate
>>11546730I would kill to hear Beast Wars outtakes.
>>11546771It would just be Scott talking to himself
>>11546772I would bet 450 maple leafs that he made Rattrap say all manner of filthy things to Dinobot, including every racial epithet in the book
>>11546644>>11546741Are these plamo or something? Do you have to cut them off sprues yourself?
No, Transformers should cross over with Idolmaster.So we’ll have Transformers the Idolmasters.
>>11546774Only the hands and certain parts are on sprues. Everything snaps in place and comes pre-printed/painted.

>>11546782I might start collecting these when they get thr Megaman License if they do anything beyond the classic and x series since that was my shit. But I already buy too many regular transformers lol

Do you ever wish Hasbro wouldn't put faction insignias on their figures so that you could repurpose them for who you want?
>>11546939Those are fantastic impressions. If it wasn't for the low audio quality, I'd think you were using AI voice changers. Some better than others, but still, damn.okay that ending made me laugh hard enough that my chest hurt. I'll be sending you my medical bills.
>>11546942rarely, but yes sometimes.mostly when there's a character I don't care about, or whom I just want to be something else. and I can't blame them for not just guessing what I want.I'm pretty good at that kind of paint customizing these days anyhoo.
>>11546948It's usually when they give a toy of someone who never existed as a character before and it looks like someone could easily be a new toy for an existing guy if not that his insignia is for the wrong side.
>>11546961yeah exactly.
I think my 86’s Megatron’s chest plate is slightly tan. Am I tripping? Looking over other copies of the figure I think there is a slight variance of how warm or cool the gray of the chestplate is. I really wanted to grab another copy but I dont want to go through the hassle of the return process. Another thing to note, out of the 6 copies Ive found I have yet to see one with a 100% perfect face. A couple were close but none flawless. Finally, my copy has the worst blemish on the top of his head of any I have seen. Sucks.
>>11546942No, never. I love big obnoxious faction symbols that proudly tell you who is fighting for who.
>>11546816You seem very insecure about your gashapon action masters.
>>11546813Lmao

wonder how earth-integrated cybertronians would react to something like this>barren world governed by technology, millions of species extinct>an organic populace exchanging their own anatomy for cybernetic upgrades>an underclass whose only significant influence is through the violent action of mercenaries>ruled by warring factions of corporatists who value power and control over the lives of their consumers>everyday life is so focused on money that people have in-house vending machines instead of kitchensit'd be like a bizarre, bastardized amalgamation of terran and cybertronian life

>>11547006>>11547002What would be your reaction if these pictures somehow got sent back in time to 2009

>>11547037I'd wonder what people in 2009 thought of them
>>11547039Did you only start collecting recently
>>11547006>trying to decide which ones to keepDefinitely that ML Prime. Not only was he the most expensive one there (assuming you didn't buy the others from scalpers for far more than they're worth), but because he's THE Optimus Prime, the OG that all the others are aping.
>>11547037why 2009?
>>11547042i only care about beast guys and baymovie guys
>>11547050NTA, but I've been really tempted by him lately with all the buzz around ML Magnus. The toy nostalgia doesn't even appeal to me (I was a Beast Wars kid), but there is something really special and iconic about the G1 toy aesthetic.
>>11547085The legacy united deluxe class g1 prime is a great option if you're a generations collector, missing link is sort of like the masterpiece version of the toy aesthetic.
>>11547085i have to admit, ol mags has definitely always had some appeal. each version of him usually turns out kinda cool, and it's weird he hasn't been in the bay movies yet
>>11546607>TriceraTruckCool as fuck. What figure is that?
Well I took everything that was on this shelf and crammed it elsewhere, so everything else looks worseBut at least this new Blokee display is together
>>11547089Michael bay knows that Ultra Magnus is too cool to feature in any of the bayverse movies trailer combining is also probably a reason although I don't know if it's just Michael bay not knowing how to do it or what
>>11547122i mean they do things similar to that all the time
>>11547122DotM Sentinel was going to be UM.
>>11547140okay that makes a LOT more sense
>>11547140>>11547153It was a working codename. Concept art for the same movie listed Megatron as "Cyclonus".
What's the likelihood of Megatron, Scavenger, and Mixmaster being ready to ship in the next 16 days? Longhaul and Hook gotta start leaving my Pile soon, and I'd rather just have one big box order.
>>11547154well now that makes less sense
>>11547114I was looking g through these things and is there medium sized and small sized SD ones or are they all the same size?I haven't slept in 3 days my brain broke
>>11547008This sounds like what Beast Machines should have been with the population of Cybertron because they were clearly going for a cyberpunk dystopian thing despite everything going so wrong.
>>11546939>child predaconLmao
>>11547140Not like it matters, in role and facial hair he's Alpha Trion. I can only imagine Hasbro blocked it because they didn't want to make that character a bad guy, explaining why the final name was Sentinel, who was already an asshole in animated. Funny enough, history repeats itself and the same thing happened in ONE.
>>11547215I like that each time Sentinel shows up, he just gets worse and worse.
>>11547300Transformers fans obsession with transformations is retarded.
>>11547215In facial hair and legacy he's Alpha Trion, in story role he's Nova Prime.
>>11546608>that little side ramp launcherthe child me absolutely loves this shit
>>11546607They used to be. The whole gimmick of the show was that they were mini animals so when they sentai'd up they were still mini. They just gave up on that idea starting with Miniforce X.

>>11547300>Muh Blawkeez. Muh heckin wholesome fiddle fingersFuck off athena
>>11546005You know, this reminds meWhatever happened to Windblade? Hasbro seems to have given up pushing her.
>>11547447Fans "wanted" her and then didn't buy the toy. Further proof you should never listen to fans. At least we got the Furai sexbot version.
>>11547453Furai version was censored to shit. No wonder fans lost faith in Hasbro.
>>11546005>grimlock can be anything>starscream must be a jetTranstuber trash.
>>11547490Dinosaur to Tank and back in 19 steps sounds cool.
So are there any Pretenders Origins BB and Wheeljack could be repainted into?I'm thinking Roadgrabber.
>>11547155BBTS knows that. they intentionally wait til your POL is about to expire before they make your next batch available.
>>11547453the actual toy sucked. that why fans didn't buy her
>>11546970>I like these toys>HMM, YOU SEEM INSECURE
>>11547530I'm not seeing Roadgrabber in either of those molds.FOC Cybertron Sideswipe would've worked.

>>11547777yeah I don't hate those>>11547778woo it's like all my electronics now
So I bought a Generations Thunderwing off eBay some weeks ago just because I was curious about the mold. It's decent, I like it, but I can't help but wonder if the plastic has "yellow'd" or not. The plastic is something of a noticeable tan color, but it's uniformly throughout. Can anybody else confirm if he's supposed to be this color or if the plastic has degraded?It's not a dealbreaker on either answer, I'm just curious.
>>11547801Nah, I had that back in the day and it was that kind of weird off-white color then, too.
>>11547591Case in point.
>>11547803Okay cool, thanks for confirming.Kinda wish the arms actually locked-in for the jet mode, but eh.
>>11547801>>11547803>>11547805Here's a pic from around when I sold mine
>>11547806The color on mine actually resembles the original toy in that photo more, but it's probably just my lighting.
>>11547790I didn't have him because he's hard to findBut now I do have himBut not before I dismantled the display

>>11547868Sakamoto is based, movie when?
>>11547887Go to bed, Frank
>>11547881Takara always left out the Legends class from their combiner sets for some reason
>>11547868
>>11547967>such mid tier nonsense
just got silverbolt. Pretty impressive for a combiner wars retool. 8/10 figure in my opinion. Barring minor deco complaints, no wrist swivel on a commander class is retarded when leader Blitzwing has it and folding hands. My biggest complaint though... where are the 5mm ports??? Ignoring the two hand 5mm ports on silverbolt and Superion, you have one in vehicle mode, 3 in superjet mode, and 4 in Superion mode. There's zero accessible back 5mm ports in robot mode to store the blaster. Huge missed opportunity in my opinion.
>>11547863I snagged the set for like $250 from japan earlier this year before all the tariff talk started. Glad I went for it when I did.

>>11546741They're fine but they are not transformers. If they don't transform they are not transformers.
>>11548166NICE TITS, I mean digits, nice digits.
>>11548025>There's zero accessible back 5mm ports in robot mode to store the blasterThe blaster is stored via a tab on the back, as explaind in the instructions. If you're talking about the large rifle, that's for the frame wall and Superion.
>snoozed on the pre order>Images popping out showing the faces all screw up>Decided wait and get it in person instead Well I guess I got lucky this is the best face out of the three that the store hasI'm still surprised by how cheap hasbro is being They didn't paint the whole face proper rather just the front of the face plate. They didn't paint the cheek that's hidden by the helmet on the side AlsoDouble checking the photo I am a bit shock on how bad my eyesight is I did not see any of the flaws that are showing up in the photo
>>11547790NTA but Concept Megs rocks if you’re okay with the silly alt modes. The tank is better than the jet in my opinion but the robot mode is so insanely articulated (pec flex and knees are amazing) it makes for a very intimidating end product.
any of the DCS good?I didnt expect much but I got the Autobot Headquarters one and the quality paint really surprised me
>>11548324the decepticon bridge three pack has amazing paint work... and lots of loose joints.The triple takeover three pack has the best looking Blitzwing, and Astrotrain without the coal tender. And starscream with nice paint but all the coronation gear taking up valuable space.
>>11548324I have the Nemesis Bridge one. If I had to rank them in the set: Shockwave > Megatron > Soundwave >ShockwavePerfect. No loose joints and the paint was brighter than promo pics showed off. Literally the best he's ever looked in CHUG.>MegsFloppy thigh joints. Could barely stand out of the box. Paint was immaculate though and I've yet to chip it.>SoundwaveOnly disappointing one of the bunch. His neck ball joint was slightly misshapen, causing his head to wobble even if the whole thing was transformed flush. They also painted over his light piping with a very dark red that sucks. I did end up getting the new G1 Universe SW for Buzzsaw and noticed the joints were tighter, so I traded my DCS copy off.It's a good set if you don't have those specific bots already. And the fixes are easier to deal with than say a Hasbro botch.
>>11548267Yeah his face QC is bad dude. I got one from Amazon and the side facet of his nose was unpainted and there was a splotch on his helmet and a chip on his nose. I just used a Gundam Marker to fix it, but still. Also his shins were 2 different surface finishes. One was gloss and one was matte. Doesn't bother me that much. Then I bought a second copy because I had free Target-bux just to see the inconsistencies and the joints were much tighter and had like 2 paint chips in his shins. His eye had a chip on it too. Then I went to transform it and the little toe pieces that fold under just BARELY clear the ground and I don't know why because my first copy has no problem with clearance and the inside of the toe piece has a stress mark from not quite fitting in the spot it has to go despite no real reason why it doesn't fit over a long period of autistic comparisons.Both my copies had this weird sprue-but-not-sprue marks on the left side of the top of his helmet. I feel like Vietnam probably cost these guys the Power Rangers franchise or at least contributed to the downfall, and it's happening increasingly in Transformers. It honestly makes me kind of worried where things are going. Some QC is getting better, but the bad QC is becoming alarmingly common so much that the fucking HasLab has to basically be recalled or replaced.I dunno if it's just my autism or what, but I didn't have this issue with Transformers until like the last 7 years. In the 90s maybe one in every 30 figures had some glaring QC problem and I feel like EVERY figure I buy has some QC issue now.
Ive been out hunting for Mixmaster and I have found several Megatrons. Every single one of them has the sprue mark on the top of his head and something wrong with the eyebrow paint. My copy has the worst forehead marring of any that I have seen which is very annoying. The factory worker who removed that mart slipped and cut a very small gouge in the front. I carefully sanded it but I can still just barely see it and it’s aggravating.>>11548397This past year there has been at least something minor wrong with every figure Ive purchased.
>>11548408Yeah I forgot to mention the eyebrow part too. On my first one, the black liner that goes over his eyes was crookedly painted and it had that scarring too. Not as bad on the second copy. Honestly I would Frankenstein both of my copies to get the "perfect" one at this point but the leg that is ever so slightly warped on my second copy is much tighter on the mushroom peg than the one that's fine.Might try a pin-punch on the capped pin on the loose-knee version and see if I can't tighten it by jamming it in more since most of these pins I don't see an easy way to get out.Forgot to mention on my first copy, the ankles and feet are much looser. Not that they can't hold a pose, but they're more plyable. The second copy just feels so much more solid. Thing that sucks about it is that I don't want to drag his bot mode PAINTED toe pieces across stuff when I'm playing around with him. I don't think this shit is hard to paint match, but I shouldn't have to.
Why almost every part in new TF's is pinned? Screws are so much esier to handle and use while fixing dogshit qc.
>>11548267This guy here again Well Open him up, (sorry can't post any images because my current ip)Thank God he only has minimal paint.Besides the face nothing can get worst The joints are ok. I would like them to be stronger but this would do. at least the legs are not flopping down in the lateral movement like megatronuis and SS OptimusThough in terms of QC Man literally every holes are filled with leftover junks. I probably have to spend an hour to removed all of them.In terms of the look Those shoulders are tiny.It is not that bad if you look at it from other angles but going full frontal you can tell they are bit small. Ended up not getting the gamer Starscream because how thin the arms are. I think the shoulders wouldn't be this bad if not for>The feetI think the MP stroke gold by having it feet slimThis Megatron looks like it got clown feet. It is really not a big deal considering the cartoon linerart was like that too but if they went for a slimmer feet, they would fit the smaller shoulders a lot better- like a compact fighterAs for the faceYeah I can see the problem right now. The white is actually easily painted but the problem is because the paint is white so any heavy light that will only expose the grey plastic under the paint. I also got lucky that all those minor scratches are too small to see. But you can see the Indian dot on the head very clearly. Good thing that you can't see it usually because it is under the shadow of the helmet. As for the eyebrow, they really should've stamp the thing on instead of paint.
I canceled my Megs. All these paint mistakes aren't worth risking 70 bucks

>>11548526Any excitement I had for this fizzled out once we learned it was going to be yet another live-service shooter
>>11548533It was ping pinging between live service slop, wfc-like single player, and an MMO I believe. the development was very troubled.
>>11548467>Screws are so much esier to handle and use while fixing dogshit qc.Exactly why they switched to pins - to make it harder for you to fix QC issues yourself and force you to buy a replacement. It's ingenious, really: Hasbro gets to be as cheap and lazy as they want, but they still manage to make double the profits because you have to rebuy the item until you get lucky with the QC lottery. And, of course, if you try to save money by asking them to send you a replacement instead, they just use it as an opportunity to offload crap that's cluttering their warehouses, meaning they get rid of shit and you still end up paying out of pocket for what you actually wanted in the end.
>>11547887Wow are you telling me that this Japanese manga is like Japanese anime?Holy shit alert the presses everyone!
>>11548561Pretty sure most people don't buy from Hasbro Pulse so that's not a problem.The truth of the pins is just being cheap and making the assembly faster.
>>11548468Man, all this poor feedback about the new Megatron is making me glad I cancelled my pre-order. I think I may just stick with my 35th Anniversary Megs, as I really love the deco on that figure. Only issue for me is that he's shorter than 86 Prime. Might have to look into thigh extenders for him.
Just spend another $30 and get an Infinite Transformation 01 Megatron
>>11546498No need now, I found SS86 Megatron today. He's great, never gonna need another Megatron.
>>11548543imagine going to game design college and ending up on something like thatwhen the fuck are we overthrowing all executives? like it's real fucking simple. everybody knows their job, go back to how you did it in the 90s.
For anyone that has Legacy Animated Motormaster, the upgrade kit from DNA is well worth it. The trailer is a little rickety but it definitely looks the part. And the robot mode is absolutely fantastic with the super mode stuff. Took a 9/10 figure to a 10/10 IMO.
>>11548649Seriously, this thing fucks. The reissue in faux-Menasor colours looks great too, though I think I prefer these ones? Regardless, well worth copping.
>>11548649>>11548651I really do not hate this
I found Alchemist Prime in the wild and I'm surprised at how much I like him. He seemed like a super basic toy but something about him just gives off a great personality.>>11548651>>11548649Yeah I'm debating which color set I should get.
>>11548700>something about him just gives off a great personality.Dude looks like a Starbucks barista - which I guess kinda fits, since he canonically likes to serve drinks to others. I was just kinda wishing he had more of an "old, angry bartender that's seen some shit and gives no fucks" feel rather than the "hipster who specializes in making oat milk lattes" vibe he currently gives off.
>>11548516Yes. At least one of the Hasbro team (Mark I think) has been pushing for Thunderwing for a while now, so hopefully he happens when Studio Series starts doing comic figures in 2027.
>>11548649I'm really glad they're making the fake menasor entirely because it makes the trailer grey like it's supposed to be. DNA decided to make it a boring sea of black for no reason, and it's even worse to think if someone hadn't made that custom, this is all we would have
>>11548526We got a few decent toys out of it at least.
>>11548708The toy represents young Alchemist when he was still doing Prime things, I guess.

>>11548651>>11548745I absolutely love the Powermaster Optimus version. I would never have bothered picking up that Legacy Animated Optimus were it not for that kit.I am tempted to get the new Motormaster kit. The grey trailer and touches of colour are a huge improvement.
>>11548797Somebody needs to kill you
>>11548813Probably what they had to make the models with.
>>11548813It's a custom. Also I just noticed his arms are the ones from the Robotmasters G1 Convoy with the smokestacks cut.
>>11548314thanks, i'll have to track one down for a good price
>>11548867yeah, there was a reddit post recently where someone asked about this specific figure and the general consensus was that it was a robotmasters convoy with G1 Ironhide bits kitbashed onI'm just wondering what the helmet was specifically and yes, >reddit
phew, well done
Why won't they redo the MP seekers? You just look at them and they go all kazoo on you. I almost want to pay someone to take mine away.
>>11549282i'm gonna start saying 'all kazoo'
>>11549282because SS86 is effectively MP now and actual MP turned into "whatever random thing the takara designers felt like shitting out that week"
>>11549293Damn I wanted my trio in that size and the great details. Guess I'll sell these and get the new designs they showed off. >>11549287They do the slide kazoo thing every time I pick one up. Drives me crazy. Also you'd be a lot cooler if you did
>>11549282Just get Deformation Space
>>11549295oh I thought you were being random. You meant a slide whistle, not a kazoo.
>>11549303Kazoos can slide.
>>11549308a kazoo is just a tube with a little membrane of wax paper which you hum into and it turns your voice vibrations into a buzzing noise. You're thinking of a slide whistle.
I am going to post some pictures just for the heck of it Finally got some time doing lunch time to play with the thing The design is good but They really need to do something about the faceAs mentioned I picked this one up out of the three I saw in store. But if you pre-ordered this and the face is bad then you are pretty much screwed
I don't have a lot to complain about As mentioned about I really think they should do the shoulder and the feet of it better but nothing that will kill the figure I also like how the overall joints are ok unlike with some other figures some of them are too tight while some of the extremely loose. I am looking at you megatronuis. I will say this it's a decent standing for MP Megatron. You don't have to worry about paint scratching like the MP. And the transformation it's relatively simple though to be fair this One turns into a tank rather than a gun. I do have one more thing I would like to bring it up
LikeWhat the fuck is this?It is 98% of the pinholes are like this. I don't recall thing are this bad in the past Usually it's like 1 or 2 and this is it. But this figure is just full of them. And those are related to sometimes piece of plastic just keep falling from the figure when you play with itJust how dirty is the factory?
And just one more
>>11549461It's just a bit of flash?
>>11549461It's just leftover shavings from drilling, not a big deal honestly.
>>11549452>>11549457why are you not removing the string on him
>>11549314https://www.habausa.com/products/slide-whistle-crocodileAlso look up trombone kazoos
>>11549452>Finally got some time doing lunch time to play with the thingWell, you clearly didn't try transforming him yet, given you left the rubber bands on him.
