>>11571033THAT is a fuckin creative robot. I love it. Probably my favorite thing that isn't a beast or a bayformer in a longgg time.
>>11571036>Proper threadWe're so backThis is a Prime Thread now
>>11571042Quintus-deluxeAmalgamous and Nexus-voyagerLiege Maximo-leaderThats as far as we know anyway
So was this guy based on the TFOne version, or was that based on plans for this?
>>11571056his design is very much based on the tfone model in general shape and deco, but there are hints of the old covenant of Primus clockwork bullshit. They probably had decided on making amalgamous prime a weaponizer years ago in the war for Cybertron toyline if they ever decided to make him, honestly.
>>11571056Yeah he's based on his TFOne design. Any other design he's had isn't really feasable as a figure.
I've not bought a single 13 Primes figure since this line started. I've got no attachments to any of the characters and I can't say any of the designs really appeal to me. The only one I briefly thought about getting was Solus, just because I thought the alt mode looked kind of cool, but seeing it in full on top of the plastic tolerance problems stopped me cold.It's unfortunate, as much as I bitch and moan about wanting more than just constant G1-restewing with new figures, I usually find myself cold wheneve the actually do make something new, like the fossilizers, rock things or the Primes. Am I the problem here?
Question about Amalgamous Prime.Which types of Transformers descended from him?Like combiners from Nexus, Quintessons from Quintus, beasts transformers from Onyx, Micro masters from Micronus, female cybertronians from Solus, etc.
>>11571049obligatory answer to 'how will they do nexus as a voyager'all bets on micromaster combiners returning this will also be the justification for the 40 dollar budget for voyagers (fuck you Hasbro)
>>11571064Shifters. Makeshift from Transformers Prime.
>>11571064amalgamous prime's descendants were the shifters- which weren't used very much aside from one episode in prime. They were basically just infinite transformation shapeshifters. Technically, all transformations are descended from him since he gave his T-cog to the well of all sparks.. but all transformers being able to transform from one prime is retarded and AOTP is completely incompatible with this because all the primes have alt modes
>>11571062I get what you mean, they don't bother with new names or designs unless there's a specific gimmick attached to them and that takes some of the fun out of it.
>>11571069>Technically, all transformations are descended from him since he gave his T-cog to the well of all sparks.. but all transformers being able to transform from one prime is retarded and AOTP is completely incompatible with this because all the primes have alt modesI suspect the AOTP lore is going to be that the Weaponizers, Fossilizers, Junkions and (somehow) the Rock Lords are all descended from him, given they all share his gimmick toywise and his old lore is now incompatible with the current toy line.
>>11571080yeah that'd be a neat way to do itshame our only story will be 2 sentences on a website or on an Instagram post because the war for Cybertron trilogy cartoon sucked
>>11571062>seeing it in full on top of the plastic tolerance problems stopped me coldThat'll buff out
>>11571062I could never get into the whole 13 thing. I have some of the characters but its due to their original incarnations, like Alpha Trion or The Fallen, not what they were made into later.I may get OP, since that is a neat design but I haven't decided.
>>11571091He looks too much like a Bionicle to me.
>>11571104He's Shockwave's experiment gone wrong.Shukwave
>>11571062just because something is new doesn't mean it's your thing. you can still be happy they're expanding, but not interested in grabbing any yourselfi like the guy in OP but i'm not gonna go get him.. i don't really have 'random cool robot guy' space on my shelf. Really just wanna get more beastformers, and more creative ones. or guys with a cool robot mode but that actually turn into something recognizable. I almost got the helicopter rock lady, but.. ehh.. and once in a while the little fossilizers appeal to me, but they're all just short of good enough.
>>11571106also it kinda looks like two arms are plugged into one shoulder instead of using those cool upper shoulders? so unless those are modular and you can change that, that's kind of a deal breaker
Blokees Devastator Kit shipping pushed back to October 25th.
>havent bought any of the 13 primes Add me to the list. Miss me with that shit
>>11571116>>11571091The only AOTP figure I've bought so far is Skybyte, and while I really like him, the rest just don't interest me much.Hoping I don't end up regretting not buying Vortex.
>>11571111"Your Order has been delayed">3 days laterLiterally one of the only Blokees shit I got
>>11571118Vortex on his own kinda sucks, so it's more about if you care about Bruticus.
I SEE NO, HEAR NO EVILBLACK WRITING'S ON THE WALL
>>11571109They are indeed modular, and the robot mode seen in the OP is more a suggestion than an actual form of his - his whole thing is that he's a Weaponizer/Fossilizer/Junkion/Rock Lord on steroids, and you can see the yellow pegs on the 'shoulder pads' that you can plug the arms into if you choose.
Why did Megatronus Prime enslave the Hebrews?
>>11571125Good figure, good color-scheme.
>>11571149Overplayed to the point of parody as it is, black and red just look great together. I love Flatline, only gripe I've got with him is that mine came with duplicates of the same hand blaster.
I think I might be insane, but I think I could turn Legacy Titan Metroplex into a fembot . . .
>>11571064Contrary to what others have mentioned in this thread, Amalgamous Prime's descendants probably aren't just limited to just shifters. (For one thing, shifters have only ever been referenced in the Aligned/Prime continuity, so that would potentially leave all the other continuities high and dry.) In addition to shifters, Amalgamous Prime's descendants would make sense be those with multiple alt modes. So that would include triple changers, six changers, and so forth. The problem is, not every TF fits neatly into the box of only one of the 13 as an ancestor. For example, the G1 Predacons are both beasts and a combiner, so they'd come from both Onyx and Nexus. So even if Hasbro establishes individual characters as each having a primary ancestor, it would make sense for at least some of them to be a mix, with one or more secondary ancestors as well.
>>11571144awesome. ack, they're clear plastic though.. fingers crossed>>11571147they had previously been welcomed into the land because one of their own became basically vice president, and his visions warned of a severe famine and basically saved the entire region from being wiped out.Then yknow, 2 centuries pass, new pharaoh The Fallen doesn't give a fuck, who are these guys? there's a lot of them and they don't worship Re, let's make them work but not pay them.
>>11571151keep an eye open for someone else who got two of the other. keep on the forums n stuff.
>>11571151Reminds me that my Galaxy Shuttle came with two of one gun, so his little box doesn't close up with all of them inside
>>11571154Sounds expensive
>>11571178I will, though I'm not that bothered by it. I was never gonna have them both on at once and while I would have liked the little mini gun, the blaster hand can serve the same function and not look out of place.>>11571180And that's also annoying, but it makes me feel a little better knowing other collectors have these issues sometimes.I'll post some more pics with him later when I have time, I feel compelled to mess with him more than a lot of my other recent purchases for whatever reason.
>>11571190maybe it's just because I'm on a zoids discord, but extra parts like that are like trading cards. always someone else who needs that part, and has another you need.
>>11571033I had high hopes for Amalgamous when it was announced but then it turned out it's not a transformer at all, it's just a bunch of parts. Fuck that.
>>11571276ikr, should've been a pile of rocks and titan class.
>>11571304Look, if I wanted a bunch of limbs I can attach to each other I could have bought Modulok. Transformers should transform.
>>11571306All you need is some Anti-Partsforming Twine(TM).
>>11571310Third party upgrades don't count.
>>11571314You didn't save up all the official hasbro BDSM twine from their greenwashed packaging era?
>>11571331his whole valve is sticking out good lord
>>11571104That's a good thing.
OH SHIT
>>11571348this is the price legacy Metroplex should have been for not including drill bit
>>11571348I was happy with him at full price, this is a steal. I'd encourage anybody, regardless of attachment to the original, to give this a shot. He's just a big giant fella with a big giant saw blade staff. If that doesn't sound like fun to you, then my condolences to the gay rat that crawled into your gay ass and gay died
>>11571080Really should just be weaponizers/modulators and multi changers, basically those with multiple natural modes
>>11571410Hasbro should reissue all the modulators/weaponizers/parts separating guys/thrilling 30 roadbuster when amalgamous prime comes out
>>11571091For the longest the only actual member of the 13 werePrimaThe FallenAlpha TrionVector PrimeNexus PrimeLogos Prime Maybe Leige MaximoMaybe MaccadamThe others made for aligned really cheapened the slow reveal of who the thirteen were, and them all being retconed to be primes was rather dumb.I am actually fine with Optimus being one of the 13, but only as the youngest member as Orion, not as full on Optimus Prime, and certainly not a Star Convoy.
>>11571174That's kind of the problem with what aligned did. Nexus wasn't originally a combiner, his limbs were cut off, became sentient and were scattered across reality so that - as a universal singularity - he couldn't ever come back. Him being the progenitor of combiners is retarded.
>>11571415logos was rumored to be one of the thirteen, never confirmed I think.And on the topic of Optimus being one of the thirteen.. I don't think he should be one. I like Optimus being the soldier that stepped up. Someone who was thrust into leadership when they weren't ready. He can be maybe related to a prime as a descendant, with his matrix blue eyes and all, but him being an ancient prime just kinda sucks in my eyes
>>11571419Nexus Maximus is kind of a dick in the fiction, I mean, didn't they create the shroud?
>>11571427Problem with Logos is that he fits too similar to Vector Prime as the power over time character.
>>11571310That one's a joke but wasn't one of the earlier MP 3rd party Jetfires almost exactly that? Except it was his waist.
>>11571348Bought it for even less than that a year ago. For that price it's worth it even if you don't care about the character, he's just a gigantic and well articulated cool robot.Just remember to do the shoulders fix before you shred the joints.
>>11571450shoulder fix?Is there a Titan that DOESN'T self destruct somehow?
>>11571430I think that was to keep the og sg Ultra Magnus from getting into another universe with the Terminus Blade if I'm remembering correctly. A highly motivated evil Magnus with a weapon that can kill singularlys is pretty scary.
>>11571451Some anon here discovered it and you won't see it discussed anywhere else because most people barely touch their titans, but he was right. If you open the pauldrons you can see that one of the inner plastic walls rubs against the teeth of the shoulder ratchets, you need to cut some material so they can move freely.
>>11571433Logos also overlaps with Amalgamus and Leige Maximo being a master of disguise, and an evil trickster respectively.He should just be future Amalgamus.
>>11571331>yellow eyesI wish. Is this an official stock image?
>>11571455There are a bunch of different prototype variants of earthrise Prime.
>>11571460What a rollercoaster those images were. It was like every few days we'd get one with a slightly different deco lol. Still so thankful we didn't get those hideous grey fists.
>>11571461I would've settled for Grey fists if they kept those yellow eyes. His face is so muddled with all that blue.
>>11571348It's strange to me how nothing is even going away anymore. That figure is from 3 years ago and they are rolling out Omega Supreme again this month. A decade ago things moved quick enough that within two years time the item would be long gone with no chance of coming back but fast forward and now anything between 2018 and now seems to be on the list of just recycling out again and again.
>>11571348Fuck it, I'll FIND a space for him somewhere. Need him and Devastator to tag team against my Unicorn
>Muh 13 mystical magical whimsical gods of the 1984 car robot toys Why
Anybody want this guy? Think my dad threw away his buzzsaw and instructions
>>11571452oh, I understand the reasoning. I was making a joke about the name 'nexus maximus' cause back when that name was being floated around for the character.. it was, uh, also the name of a dildo that came up as the first result. good thing they went with Nexus prime.
>>11571510They worked backwards into it. You had a few old men a couple ancient evils, and decided to make them all members of group.
Too bad core class is dead because there was so much potential. Core class Reflector, Perceptor, Blaster.
Where’s my Glyph and Tap-Out?
>>11571525>my dad threw away his buzzsaw and instructionsWhy is your dad in your home, throwing away things you paid for with the money you earned from your job?
>>11571561I found it all and it's on the shop. If anyone wants it let me know and I'll discount it or let the ebay heathens have at it.
>>11571482is this a problem? used to be if you didn't snap the figure quickly it was gone forever.
>>11571561You know that's the original toy and Galaxy Force is already 20 years old, right?
The Doctor is Sin
>>11571551core class isn't fully dead, it's just on hiatus. Guaranteed they'll bring back some small-scale line after cyberworld dies. In the meantime you'll get core class combiner slop to make up the price point(with that being said... I will totally eat up core class combiners. Armada perceptor, nexus prime micromaster combiner.. Hasbro please.)
>>11571033Looks like a gold plastic syndrome nightmare. So does Onyx Prime too.
>>11571578saying this figure is bad would be hearsey
>>11571571So why was your dad in your home, throwing away things you paid for with the money you earned from your job 20 years ago?
>>11571482Metroplex isn't moving because nobody wants him, he's been on sale for fucking years at this point
>>11571582What are you talking about? Neither figure uses that plastic with the metallic swirls going through it. Yeah, they have the metallic flecks, but it's not the problematic kind that leads to GPS; there should be no issue here.
>>11571582>>11571590GPS hasn't been widely reported in literally a decade at this point. (according to tfwiki, last widely reported suffering figure was unite warriors motormaster)clear plastic is the big new issue.
>>11571605It takes about 10 years to bubble up, it isn't an out of the box problem like Kingdom yellowingHow are people's CW G2 Superions holding up?
>>11571609No issues with mine, but I haven't really posed him much recently.
Is anyone else's stores dragging their feet about Christmas resets? They're usually done mid/late August, but none of the 5 Wal-Marts or single Target in my area have done a single one.They're not putting new stuff out, and the shelves are full of clearance tags.
>>11571415Alpha Trion wasn't among the 13 until they did the roaster for aligned, he was in the same spot as Liege Maximo, he exists but got no connection with any other ancient dudesAs for Maccadam (well the bartender) it was supposed to be a rumor in lore, but any rumor can't stay in this franchise
>>11571643Christmas is cancelled this year
Not seen the one rat around here in a while, do you think they got tired of him or something else
>>11571712Christmas is back bros!
>>11571717I just have pics of random pics
>>11571482Good, fuck scalpers & those that rely on artificial scarcity, fuck ppl who held on yellowing Netflix Soundwave>>11571454I agree on that
>>11571331>Optimus likes being restrained, hung up and displayed for those to seeChrist. Kinky and a freak ain't you Prime?>>11571348Think I got him sub $80 Prime?The DNA Kit really does some great stuff for him and I got I believe Shockwave Labs for an LED setI've genuinely enjoyed him despite people claiming he's one of the worst (they forget about Nemesis)
>>11571415>>11571427Honestly having a nicer and "More Prime" like form for Optimus and having him return and truly step into the Title as something like Orion Prime would kinda be basedI feel it'd work really well. I do like him as just "The Prime's Chosen Warrior Knight" that he is nowNot some planet wide leader but he's a dependable protector, confident leader and a reliable Knight looking out for his family and future kingdomI feel it's been long enough he has absolutely earned and proven himself for the Primes over the extensive years of media and loreMy headcanon ideal image is something like AoE/TLK Movie Prime, Galaxy Force and RID all in oneBulk/armored but not too muchGood bold physique Torso wise with TLK Prime/RID combinedYet semi bulk/armored feeling legs from RID Combined with Galaxy Force but clean it up Silhouette/physique would invoke TLK/RID/War Within all in oneThe MMC Optus is really good base for itIf it get's a trailer I'd like something like the "Civil Warrior's General Grant" kit crossed with G1/Movie style Rodimus Trailer
>>11571482Reissued of good or wanted figures are fine, anon. The problem is when they reissue garbage or crap no one cares about.Also that Metro just didn't sell because no one gives a shit about it, thats all.
Really want a reissue of Doubledealer.
>>11571760>Honestly having a nicer and "More Prime" like form for Optimus and having him return and truly step into the Title as something like Orion Prime would kinda be basedThat's essentially what they've done with Star Convoy
>>11571750His robot mode is great, probably one of the best, but those alt modes are giant space-wasting nothingburgers >they forget about NemesisI think you mean the Ark
>>11571750>(they forget about Nemesis)You're thinking of Ark. Nemesis is one of the best Titans released in recent years, hence why she was also the one that was the hardest to track down.
>>11571849>Nemesis is one of the best Titans released in recent yearsNot that anon but I own it and I disagree. Robot mode proportions are pretty jank compared to the original concept art and it feels like they left things unfinished (those flaps hanging from the shoulders).>hence why she was also the one that was the hardest to track down.That's just because they made far less units so she didn't shelfwarm like the Ark and Megalo Convoy. They learnt from that two, that's why Tidal Wave also didn't shelfwarm.
>>11571378it's just his proportions are messed up
>>11571494>UnicornBattle Unicorn? Don't see him on that pic.But really, he doesn't need antibody, Armada Unicron is a little shit compared to him.
>>11571772I want redecos of Doubledealer, they still haven't reused that mold on anything, not even Clouder.And they clearly wanted to do Stalker/Machine Wars Soundwave.
>>11571877Well, I have fun memories of the original G1 version and wanted to get the Earth rise one but I heard some odd QC issues. Also, I was going through a health problem that’s cleared now.
>>11571415Don't forget Maybe The Last Autobot (from the end of Marvel US), since he was hinted drawing from the same material as Liege Maximo and The Fallen.Personally, I hope Furman gets a chance before he dies to write about his original version of the 13 before Aaron Archer created Vector Prime and the rest (they weren't created for Aligned, that was just the first time they were revealed. Tho Nexus and Logos were independent creations from others).The only known members that Furman made are:PrimaThe FallenMaybe The Last AutobotMaybe Liege MaximoMaybe MaccadamI mostly just like that he actually treated them with a sense of cosmic mystery. They've been cheapened by Aligned, I feel.
So I got Mixmaster. It's an okay figure but definitely not a voyager class. What the fuck?
>>11571880LA being a 13 was always really weird to me. Yeah he's a super ancient cybertronian, and the last one to become an autobot, but I don't think he should be THAT old, like maybe from a lost era before the golden age, but not from the reign of Prima as the ruler of cybertron. Maybe he was present for that era, but not as a prime, just as a random big guy... like the Jetfire to Prima's Optimus.I am also solid on A3 and Vector being part of the 13, even if Furman didn't make them. There could also be a solid argument for Solus, but she directly conflicts with Furmans love of making fembots abominations.Micronus being a part of the 13 is retarded, since unicron created the minicons, even if you say he's the progenitor of smaller cybertronians like minibots and deployers it's still kinda weird.Really the idea that the 13 are the origin point of all the different types of cybertronians is just fucking stupid in the first place since there is so much overlap between the so called descendants. Combiners being a genetic thing too is absurd since practically every one besides Devastator has been created on screen, and then Nexus's enigma makes new ones? Why?I love the idea of the 13 and their connection to Primus and Unicron, and how that connects down through the different universes, but aligned, and the shroud really fucked shit up. I really want to see an "unshrouding" some day that trys to rectify all the damage that shit did to all the universes. Like the versions of the singularities that stayed singularities having the knowledge that was cut off from them returned, and how that would allow Unicron to start universal destruction again. Shattered glass already explained how singularities like SG Alpha Trion is so far interdimensionally distant from the singular Alpha Trion that he is functionally independent while still able to use the collective knowledge of the singular Alpha Trion.
>>11571927Voyager class is just slightly bigger deluxe or extra accessories now
>>11571868He has Katoki proportions. Perfect for a super robot.
>>11571927Uhmm he has the ratcheted ankle joint for devastator, don't be so ungrateful
Remember a time when voyagers were heavier than modern day leaders and had ratchets and sounds and little robot companions for 20 dollars
>>11571930and he had neither. Hasbrooooooooooo!
>>11571937
Voyager class in 2027$57.99
Why does A3 not have a wrist joint?
>>11571943impossible engineering, they simply cannot do it despite all the times they've done it.
>>11571930It's heavy deluxe. Longhaul and Hook are the only voyager feeling figures in the whole set, even if Hook feels a little weird. Scrapper is a bulky deluxe, Bonecrusher feels like a simple deluxe, Scavenger feels like he might float away he's so light, and Mixmaster is a standard deluxe.If they were the same size as cw Devastator's components this would be a fantastic upgrade. As is they are shrimpy cheap garbage and a pants block that combine into a small okay if not overly chunky Devastator. Dude is thick.That can't hold his own gun without modification.
>>11571510there's a way to do itthis isn't it
>>11571937I want to say lights and sounds were for Ultra class...Remember Ultra class?
>>11571806>>11571849Nemesis hit a sale literally like 2-3 weeks after release and after the concepts came out it's clear how much they fucked itEasily the worst TitanSo many issues. I'll take Ark all day over it
>>11571943Same reason the constructicons and most of the other primes don't. They are afraid of ball joints.
>>11571953If her shoulders could slide up and out of the way similar to Gunbuster and her thighs weren't so short proportionally she wouldn't be so fucking ugly.
>>11571954The constructicons do have some ball joints. Bonecrusher, Scavenger, and Long Haul all have ball jointed elbows.
>>11571720does that transform?
>>11571931not really.. iunno show me pics againthe way i remember it, his compact form is too compact and his tall form is badly proportioned.
>>11571953they reallllly goofed up.. buncha clowns.
>>11571959Ah, but no ball jointed wrists!
>>11571967You need to pay leader class prices for ball jointed wrists
>>11571929>Micronus being a part of the 13 is retarded, since unicron created the minicons, even if you say he's the progenitor of smaller cybertronians like minibots and deployers it's still kinda weird.Minicons were just one series' take on Micromasters, unusually small transformers have been a part of the franchise from the very beginning and Micron Legend does not get the full and final say on their lore.>starts rambling about funpub multiverse shitYou're a gaywad
>>11571953I got the ark for a fraction of the price and still regret it. It fucking sucks at everything it does, and so does mainframe for that matter
>>11571889How is venom?His bright colors and mechanical beast mode are neat. Do his wings get in the way in bot mode?
>>11571960Yes
>>11571953>I'll take Ark all day over itI own both and I agree, the Ark is pretty limited compared to other titans but it's more fun as a toy than the Nemesis.
>>11571997Nemesis should've come with a little computer figure too
>>11571929I'm pretty sure the "The 13 represent the different types of TFs that would descend from them" was an Archer concept, I like the idea of the 13's purposes being more nebulous. Like Prima doesn't have to be too particularly special or some holy knight and ultimate warrior, just that he was the first Matrix-bearer.We know the Last Autobot was made by Primus early on to be a sort of guardian, so no reason he cant be one of the 13 original TFs by that metric. I dont think the 13 all necessarily NEED to be Primes, just ancient beings who eventually ascended to godlihood (as Liege Maximo's goal in Alignment implied).I also do like Vector Prime and Alpha Trion desu, I just prefer how G1 and GF portrayed them: simply really old TFs. They could be 13 members depending on which universe we're talkin, and I'm fine with that.>>11571971Eh true, but on the other hand, their backstory in ML was their best one. And every other continuity that tried to include Microns just portrayed them as glorified Micromasters, it robbed them of what made them special (much like how the concept of Micronus himself does). Hell, I also dislike his existence from the perspective of Beast Wars, and how "getting smaller" for them ALL was a necessary and required evolutionary step. I'd just rather the 13 didn't represent specific races at all, personally.
The role of "Mixmaster" this evening will be performed by Metal Beard
>>11572014
>>11571971>le minicons are just micromasters by another nameYou are fundamentally wrong. They are conceptually and functionally completely different. Even modern takes on micromasters attempting to adapt some degree of functionality similar to minicons are far removed.>attacking someone over interest in the B tier lore of a franchise they enjoy Go back to tfw. Your people are calling for you.
>>11572016>>11571971Mini-cons are small, natural Transformers (sometimes created by Unicron) that add power to the larger Transformer they are combined with. They usually activate a gimmick in the toys. Micromasters are regular Transformers that have been downscaled to conserve fuel (or native residents of planets that necessitated smaller forms), and do not have the inherent ability to provide more power to other Transformers (outside of weapon modes, but those are just weapons, not power-ups). MMs also are tied to combination more than MCs.MMs usually are part of a separated play-pattern than the main figures, with their own bases and vehicles separate from the usual big transformers sold. MCs on the other hand are fully embedded into the main figure line, designed to interact with them instead of being a separate ecosystem.No, I was never tested for autism.
>>11572007Vector Prime having Rhisling and being able to directly affect reality after death makes him more than worthy. This is just my opinion, but I like the idea of the 13 combine with the idea of the ROTF 7 primes. There are 7 members of the 13 more "special" than the other 4 that are closer to Primus. Those 7 should be 100% singularities and the other 4 should slot in and out and be different as needed while also being lesser singularities in most cases. That also gives Leige Maximo an excellent motive as one of the 13 to become a neutral evil figure, he's jealous of his brothers perceived godhood, despite them not being literal deities. It also works for Optimus, since if he is Orion Pax and thus not a Prime, becoming Optimus Prime is him taking his place as the successor to the 9 Primes.
ER Thrust, Sunstreaker and Gigawatt are up for pre-order on Pulse. Hop in and tell scalpers to get bent.
>>11571049Weird how there isn't a single Commander Class among the Thirteen. Though I can understand since they need combiner cores for that class. Wonder if Jetfire will come with Comettor or any other Mini-Con Prime uses... Maybe not, since there is still Powerlinx Red Alert, and he would come with more than just Longarm.Side note, who got the schedule leaks for the 2026 Wave 2 line?
>>11571068>>11571069>>11571080Makes as much sense as tying the Robotix to him. Because of course they're free-form like him. Or maybe less? At least we got a multi-series sub-line that would slowly build up to them connecting to Amalgamous, and I really hope they explain Junkion Jalopy's lore as a descendant of Amalgamous.
High chance a bunch of the ss-06 starscreams on ebay are KO's right?
If only Ransack had gotten more remolding.
>>11571415Pretty sure Star Convoy is his evolved self like it was in Japan when he was resurrected, not the form he had as The Arisen back then.
>>11572068Which is why Vector Sigma in Japanese G1 lore felt like a can of worms that build up to it being one of the lost credentials of the Thirteenth Prime. After Optimus Prime's spark merged with Vector Sigma in The Headmasters, he suddenly remembers he's the Thirteenth Prime and would serve as a spiritual guide to Ginrai while not being shown to speak at the time. Might need some retcons to explain lots of stuff that happens during Masterforce.
>>11572048Still waiting for Hasbro to bring Robotix into Generations
>>11572085aside from being a bit 'clank-clank,' these are not terrible designs
>>11572093I wonder how compatible they would actually be though. Are abstractions of things you might be able to build with a motor robot toy kit. Not exactly humanoids that turn into vehicles.
>>11572085Please, don't tease me, anon. I need this like a fat kid needs cake. Robotix and Inhumanoids are the two lines I want more than anything.
>>11572099I wouldn't mind if they just made them into straight on Transformers.or they could make them into Weaponizers
>>11571982Hes pretty sick. I was initially kind of disappointed with him but he won me over by having really good articulation. Other than his wings and bug legs colliding with shit. His major shortcoming is hollow forearms and really shitty hands. His hands like to pop off and also they never look quite right due to the way the forearms are molded. When you click them into place it leaves a weird gap on the inside of the forearm
A0https://e bay.us/m/IIzNFxSome Trans for sale.
>>11572085Is Robotix even owned by Hasbro? Iirc it was originally a line of educational toys.
>>11571953>>11571958>>11571963Them showing us the concept art was the biggest fuck up>why's it look so weird>"ok so our plan for this Floro Dery ass G1 spaceship's robot mode>"was to make it a bayformer monster with chicken legs and a hunchback"
>>11572136Go to the BST thread, dude
>>11572145It does got far enough in either direction. Actually, some of the monsters in the G1 cartoon were more monster than Nemesis.
>>11572149Yeah, they started from there... but then you get the vibe they got cold feet and pivoted so we're left with a weird shaped old bag with scoliosis.
>>11571970That must make Prima the best bargain this year. Ball-joint wrists for voyager price, what a savings.Seriously though, it really does confuse me how we continue to get new molds with hinged wrists when HasTak are clearly capable of engineering ball-jointed wrists, which function the same for transformation but have a full range of motion and require no extra parts.
>>11572160ball joints have a lot of downsides, don't forget
>>11572145ehh.. it still would have sucked.
>>11572151that, or safety testing blah blah meant it had to be particularly 'solid' and couldn't do anything cool while staying upright
>>11572063You've done a good job differentiating him from Kickback there. Have you got links to the upgrade parts you used?
>>11571958>>11571963>>11572145The slouchThe long ass armsThe hollow pizza slice torso The shoulders Literally everything about the legsKibble bits just hanging outIt's just such a mess
>>11572167slouch on its own is a good thing if it comes with a hunch and makes it more monstrousfrom where i'm standing, the issue is more that her arms seem to be held on by epaulets, instead of any kind of functional 'armpit / scapular proicess' and her knees start way too high and her shins look stupid.like basically her shoulders are held on by the parts that would normally be add-ons to the shoulders.. it's just... ugh.
>>11572160Man, I can't believe Prima's a voyager. He's so bland and the accessories are not that great. A sword AND another matrix? They could've also given him a shield like in the cartoon or a cape.
>>11572185Rat.
>>11572193kinda funny the rat is too afraid to respond to his info
>>11572199Rat.
I never once saw AOTP Skybyte in any stores. If I hadn't bought him online, I doubt I'd have gotten him at all.Was he genuinly difficult to find, or did I just have some real shitty luck?
caption this
>got these at lunch I don't like this Usually for transformers I pre-ordered them online But the paint quality control issue has gotten so bad that I almost get my transformers like 90% in store now. And it is not like getting them in store you will get the Crème de la crème You are just picking one bad paint versus one minor paint scratches or some other issue Like fireflight's chest is not molded red but painted red and the red is not filled all the way "up"Well at least this one got the silver forehead and gray face right. Another one has a nasty scratch with the sliver.
>>11572212I just bought one off ebay for 37 dollars. If you can't find it in stores just head to online.
>>11572238I've must of been getting pretty lucky with my online orders. The worst ive got so far was a scratch on the silver paint of 86 scrapper's chest.
>>11572140I think it is now, according to the wikihttps://tfwiki.net/wiki/Robotix
So do you guys really hate this? I've seen nothing but disdain for this in other TF circles.
>>11572293I don't hate it, I just don't give a fuck about MOTU and find it nonsensical as a crossover. More power to the people who want it, it just ain't for me.
>>11572253Same I think the ones I found in the wild have been much worse. My Megs from Amazon had a perfect face/paints on it but every one I saw in the while had air bubbles or worse. >>11572293I think the hate/disappointment is how much everyone was getting primed from past Transfomers cross overs>Ghostbusters: Transforming Autobot Echo 1>Jurassic Park: Transforming Park Jeep and T-Rex>TMNT: Transfoming Party Wagon Autobot>X-men: Blackbird jet Transfomer >GIJoe: all these iconic vehicles as iconic Transfomers>On and on and on>Hot Wheels: Hot wheels scaled transforming Prime and two Iconic Hot Wheel cars that transform. >MotU: Skeletor and Man-at-Arms toys dressed up as Transfomers Considering how wild most vehicles are in MotU series this just isn't going to hit the same. And yes this is Matty's offering not Hasbro's it still sours most people for reasons I shared above.
>>11572312>>11572314I think what is throwing people is that previous Transformers collaborations were for Transformers fans that also like other properties, this is a crossover for MOTU fans like also like Transformers.
Aw what the fuck!? Thinking about saying screw it and go hunting for him tomorrow instead.
>>11572336Reminds me of the MLP collab from ages ago with everyone hoping for a Mach-Kick or Battle Unicorn repaint/remold and instead they got pony statues painted in Optimus and Bumblebee colors.
>>11572341Wow, what cunts. Makes me glad I switched almost all my pre orders from them. At least the ones I could.
>>11572341I just ordered him from Amazon. I got tired of waiting?
>>11572293>>11572312Should've did a Transformer that turns into Castle Greyskull
>>11572293>No Teela Arcee.way to drop the ball Mattell
>>11572293I don't? My first thought when I saw that figure was I wanted it. To be fair I also liked the looks of the TMNT MOTU crossover stuff even though I haven't really collected either in decades. Personally I don't really get why anyone despises it on either side of the fence. I like both characters and think it's a fun idea and when I was a kid I would've loved this crossover.Transforming MOTU vehicles would've been cool but I'm not gonna get salty over that.
>>11572366I think MOTU is hard to make work with G1. Beast Wars inspired figures of Battle Cat or Panthor would have been cool.
>>11572341Wait, why are they adding a tariff surcharge to him? Mixmaster isn't an import - Hasbro is American-based.
>>11572238>proudly displaying Lapras front and center after those leaksI know what you are.
>>11572389Uhhhhh....Trump's fault
>>11572193Shana Tova!
>>11572341So not only are they fucking weeks late, but charging more!?
>>11572341I haven't got this message for my 86 megatron preorder. I fucking hope it stays that way.
I stopped using BBTS when their international shipping costs became unreasonable, often as much as the figure itself again if not more.
Also 'cause they switched to Asendia, so not only was I paying more for the shipping it was taking literal weeks to get to me instead of the days it used to take.
>>11572341Youre gonna spend more than $5 on gas only to not find him. Dont be an idiot
>>11572342>Reminds me of the MLP collab from ages ago with everyone hoping for a Mach-Kick or Battle Unicorn repaint/remoldTo be fair, while I despise the Horse Show, I love the Battle Unicorn mold, so I probably would've gone for it if they'd done it.
>>11572238Cool selection of figures there. I'm really looking forward to my Venom arriving. Also>Blokees MikuNice, enjoy her! She's really quite good.
>>11572293I've seen more hate from MOTU fans and apathy from Transformers fans.
>>11572389It isn't manufactured in the statesThe physical objects still need to be imported
>I've done all I can, but I'm afraid there's truly only one cure for being an Autobot...
>>11572452>"...Reprolabels! Put this on and nobody will believe you ever weren't a Decepticon!"
>>11572394I know what you are talking aboutBut I don't remember anything else besides typhlosionAny wayFirefligh looks nothing like F4Maybe if they increase the wings but they would get in the way. The least they can do is to have the tail wings pointed down- they can't do that either because then the heel won't work. The joints are really tight though. Not much to say as I am not building superion but the bot is good for what it is. Venin- I don't know it's because the coloring but the plastic feels kind of weird. Not bad just weird. I guess it's the general colors making it look like a KO. But I do like the lookSideswipe- I have thr siege version. Maybe because this one is mostly plastic rather than painted the joints are slightly loose. This probably the closest to the animation accuracy with the mainline figure so I really wish to add a spoiler though.
>>11572451Thing is Gameverse Thundercracker their is still the normal price. Mixmaster is pair cased with him.
>>11572226>alright pinhead, your time is up!
>>11572377>Cheetor repainted into Panthor>Leo Prime retooled into Battlecat
>>11572336> previous Transformers collaborations were for Transformers fans that also like other propertiesI disagree and they are trying to sell to both groups however people expect a transformers cross over to have transformation. It's like how the Turtles of Greyskull lean into mutations/mutants and Ninjas on the MotU crew. In this case making MotU cosplay as Transformers with no transforming is confusing, I think if say they had a small vehicle of a tank/car that turn into armor/weapons it go over a little better, still not what the fans were wanting. > this is a crossover for MOTU fans like also like TransformersIf that was their thinking then that's retarded. MOTU fans want a transforming classic vehicles that MOTU crew ride on/in like they did with GIJoe cross over. No one wants this weird ass dress up game. Even the TMNT one knew just to take inspiration rather than make Skeletor out right dress up as Shredder.
>>11572477As I understand it BBTS and similar stores don't get stuff by wave, they get them in solid cases.That's why they had Thundercracker available long before Mixmaster, for one thing.
>>11572485No they shipped Mixmasters back when he dropped. It's how I got mine this summer.
>>11572459>I don't remember anything else besides typhlosionOne of the leaked "myths" described a Lapras (a later version of the story replaced it with an Octillery as an inversion of the Japanese "Fisherman's Wife" story) that kept washing up on a beach in front of a man's home every day for a week, and every day the dude apparently banged it and pushed it back into the ocean. After a week, the Lapras stopped coming; one day and unknown time later, the man found a human child at the spot where he kept finding the Lapras - it turned out to be his child by the Pokemon. There's a second half of the story, but that's the only part that's relevant here.
>>11572293Transformers collectors don't like it because we're generally an insular group that has little interest in anything not a Transformer. It looks fun and as soon as my LCS gets these in I'll be buying them.
>>11572452>Only trophiesSomehow Flatline works better as G1 Barricade than Bluestreak repaint.
Soon Perry the platypus will face my greatest creation to date, I call him,THE WASPINATORand together we'll conquer the Tristate area!
>>11572293Does he transform? If not, then not interested.
>>11572293The fusion cannon staff is sick as hellIf I was the type to have a Megatron shelf he'd have a spot on it
>>11572507One mistake anon>Waspinator Inator
>>11572162I can't tell if you're shitposting or actually just retarded.
>>11572400Correct. His retarded trade war is a carte blanche excuse to jack prices for all businesses because no business is ever absorbing a cost, it always is fully passed on to consumers with an extra % on top because they can now upharge and say it was tariffs.
>>11572341Much as I hate the idea of having to pay $5 more, I know I'm gonna waste more money on gas looking for him in stores. Lesser of two evils here.
>>11572521Your mom. Ball joints require softer plastic, wear down faster, can't be ratcheted, the stem of the ball joint is a major weak point that can't be repaired. nta btw
>>11572238>>11572459Does Sideswipe have the correct head or Red Alert's head? I can't tell.
>>11572525so it's the companies actually doing it because they're greedy but it's not their fault?
>>11572341Hahaha! I still don't understand how people keep defending them. Just order from somewhere else that isn't so scummy.
>>11572546Sure looks like Red Alert's.
>>11571510This. It's fucking cringe. I liked it better when they were all built by the Quints and just revolted against their creators.
>>11571586Clearly that is because he got that toy as a fucking child, and he likely didn't pay for it.
>>11572573I never liked the Quints even as a kid, but the 13 Primes idea has always felt either half-assed or too try-hard to me.
>>11571971>studio OX artBASED
>>1157240786 Megs already has it's "tariff" 60 dollar price up so you don't have to worry about a price jump.
>>11572212Shitty luck. I found 2 accidentally at a random Target.
>>11572477>BBTS sclaping customers for popular figures.Not uncommon for them. Just look at how much they tried to scalp people for SS ROTB Prime before he got a non-exclusive release.
>>11572575I can understand not liking the Quints. But yeah, I agree about the 13. I never like things that attempt to explain Transformer origins anyways. It doesn't matter; all that matters is good guy robots fight evil robots and they all turn into cool cars or jets or beasts or whatever you want. The concept doesn't need to sell some cringy origin story.
>>11572341just cancelled mine.
>>11572600Hope you find him in stores then.
>>11572599I liked the Quints better because I was never into the whole quasi religious/supernatural side of TF with stuff like Primus and all. I know the cartoon did that too, but the more it goes in with overt things like Gods running around, the less interested I am.
>>11572602I'll just go Amazon instead
crazy how cyberverse's interpretation of the 13 mogs every other interpretation simply by saying they exist and not elaborating unless it's plot relevant
>>11572341Cancelled mine - both him and Scavenger - last week when I got that message for the latter; ended up ordering them both from Pulse instead, and Scavenger just showed up yesterday.
>>11572620Is he scavenging around your house?
>>11572341They aren't actually affected by Tariff's and didn't have to pay shitIf they did it's their fault for outsourcing shit to startThey're fags for forcing you as the customer to pay that extra fee
>>11572459>Haven't seen the Sideswipe in stores>Target says mid OCTOBER for my pre order
>>11572607Same. I actually like BBTS and have put up with them taking a week to ship stuff and hiking prices on random shit, but this was too much. How the fuck is there a tariff charge through them but not the direct retail site for the manufacturer? Eat my whole ass.
>>11572671Still really want an answer as to wether it has the right head or not.
>>11572604I don't disagree, but, well...
>>11572684I mentioned the cartoon did it also. and one of the problems with the 3rd season was all those Matrix stories.Though, at least, they didn't find God's head in the middle of the planet
>>11572676I was using them just because it was convenient with the whole pile of loot thing, but fuck this.
>>11572604>the more it goes in with overt things like Gods running around, the less interested I amI'm not but with all the different reboots, I'm surprised none of them have revisited the Quints origin again.
>>11572693It is too meta. You can't have your action figure robot guys be a commercial product in the story as well.
>>11572693Because its a mundane story that doesn't jive well with most of the other lore, just like Unicron being made by a spacemonkey who got outsmarted by Grimlock.
>>11572691Yup. Plus, I like supporting a "small" business, at least compared to Amazon, Target, Wally World, etc, but I have my limits.
>>11572693>I'm surprised none of them have revisited the Quints origin again.It's generally not a very popular concept, and Hasbro probably prefers media use the 13.
>>11572705>>11572699Yeah but just like how the Unicron angle gets tweaked with every incarnation, they don't have to slavishly stick to the G1 cartoon version of that origin story either.
>>11572706And they shouldnt, because it's the worst one.
>>11572341Cancel it. A domestic release like Mixmaster isn't subject to tariffs. They're just trying to squeeze you for more money while portraying themselves as poor victims.
>>11572689>>11572698Just imagine if the biggest twist of TFOne was that the whole "Primus" thing was made up by the 13 who were actually the masterminds of a rebellion against their Quintesson masters and Primus was they story they told because they didn't want to leave the resulting Cybertronian population without anything to believe in.
>>11572212Probably depends on the stores around where you live. I've seen him on shelves at least four times. But for most places that haven't had him, it's 'cause they're still clogged with shelf-warming Red Alerts from wave one, stopping them from ordering new voyagers.
>>11572720You shouldn't write something anti-religion in your story. That will alienate much of your audience.
>>11572669I think it's just a more sleazier version of what they have done in the past where they will spike the price of in demand items. As already noted Thundercracker, Flatline and Alpha Trion are not getting these surcharges but Mixmaster is? That's a little fuck up isn't it?
>>11572720I don't think most care about TFOne and you can still get all the figures from last year at price or even cheaper.
>>>/v/721561532
>>11572734Okay but what about the first game?
Is Tarantulas worth $18 on BBTS?
>>11572719Most scummy part is they're doing it with the last bot to form Devastator. Total dunk cost fallacy of "Well you got the rest of the Constructicons here, might as well eat this extra cost to finish him!"
>>11572758Absolutely. One of the better deluxes we've gotten in recent years.
>>11572212i hope he's not difficult to find, because I'm not paying more than 30 for him.
>>11572758Yes, he's one of the best beast bots made recently, barring some missing gold paint.
>>11572758I'll be selling my orange one soon if you want that one
>>11572737wfc is kinda mid unless the co-op multiplayer is available but supposedly the group in charge of relisting the transformers games is going to be bringing the servers online again so there's probably a chance
>>11572775I'm curious who has to rely on BBTS though. He's up on EE, and is getting released again with Scavengers two months from now in that wave.
>>11572802WFC has more gameplay variety than FOC outside of playing as Grimlock, so I generally prefer playing the former.
>>11572804Me, to some degree. EE screwed me enough when I had a "wholesale" account, Amazon lets scammers rob you, and retail (region-locked websites included) is a Soviet grocery situation. I was upset about the hike on Mixmaster before but even more now that I heard they filled previous orders wat the original price. Pretty much on the edge of quitting if my only choice is getting abused by BBTS.
>>11572836Don't know how to feel about Amazon either. I keep hearing horror stories about guys having issues with orders and Amazon just fucking them over. Also deciding to renegade on a refund well after it was given or go back on their word.
>>11572839I've used amazon for about 5 years and hadn't had any problems so far. I've heard the stories of figure swapping though. One of them I remember was that somebody found a giant bag of bird seeds in their box instead of their figure and another one was a painted over siege acid storm in the colors of nacelle which apparently exposed a customizer on the tfw2005 forums. Crazy shit.
>>11572341>they price jumped a figure that was already on way and they have already had at retail price a few times up to the "new price" >magically none of the lesser demand ones are doing this That is very worrisome, fucking over preorders more so. I'm not saying BBTS is good but if they are pulling this kind of god awful shit it can't be going well behind the scenes, not even small companies that are taking serious beatings from the new tariffs like Boss Fight and Four Horsemen are pulling these kinds of stunts, so far they are just eating the preorders they honored.
>>11572549It's both.The tariffs induce inflation, and inflation induces overcharging above even that because companies can blame it on the tariffs.
>>11572293huh. looks pretty neat. surprised it took this long. that said, yeah, doesn't really make any sense. what would work better is if we saw eternian transformers.>>11572314yeah thatlike if we did a thundercats crossover, i'd expect the Thundertank to transform. hopefully not just by standing up
>>11572341illegal. cancel the order.prices are locked in, regardless of what expenses the company might undergo, at the time of pre-order. that's what pre-orders are for. that's literally all that they're for.This is why I pre-order stuff in multiple places now, to see which one's gonna fuck me.
>>11572525every single thing he does is to make you hate it and vote for the opposite next time. remember that. you are being played.now talk about toys. who is the best orange transformer? I liked Powerpinch
>>11572459damn. part of me still really wants to collect pokemon figurines. I swore off it 25 years ago when I realized i'd never be able to afford it.
>>11572542technically they can be ratcheted in a way... but that wears down even faster. by making the ball and socket polyhedrons.
>>11572525To what end?>Yay profits are up 10% In other news, the dollar is worth 80% what it was before we did this..\if the business people can't do math, then use your skills to trick them into getting locked in a box or something. that's what math is for. then they'll be out of the picture.
>>11572669I mean yeah, obviously. Never should have done that in the first place, for a NUMBER of reasons. bit late now though, and deliberately sudden to change.>>11572719call the BBB. they need to hear people are charging for tariffs on domestic goods.
>>11572856>That is very worrisome, >it can't be going well behind the scenesexactly. Now you're catchin on.
>people coming up with any bullshit excuse to charge more....
>>11572921>best orange transformer?Hooligan. Obviously.
>ss86 megatron came with unpainted eyes and no con logoHow the fuck does the shit even happen? At this point the TF franchise is not going to survive the next 5-10 years. Total fucking joke.
>>11572934they really all expect to be completely out of business inside of five years, don't they. it's just fill your pockets with as much as you can, sabotage your industry, and then be shocked when nobody cares about your money because you've ushered in a state-planned economy. real fuckin short-sighted, and definitely manipulated. Everyone in charge of every company needs to be forcibly removed immediately, and we have the manpower to do it.just 'shhh no. no this isn't your job anymore. go home to your mansion and be a good boy'
>>11572925Ask Trump, he's the retard who is sinking the country and devaluing the dollar.
>>11572946that is a hell of a deco. makes me ignore the pressure missile. god i do not miss those. those were pretty new when this was designed, right? I mean this was made pre beast wars unless i'm mistaken, and they still had normal spring missiles.>>11572956did you get package-swapped or something? is that a thirdparty?
>>11572971that's my point. to what end? think about it for a while.and then riot if we ever have another televised debate that is organized by the people profiting from the coverage thereof. Now back to our regularly scheduled /tfg/ Titan Torca when?
>>11572971I just phoned Trump and he called me a gaylord and hung up
>>11572503>Transformers collectors don't like it because we're generally an insular group that has little interest in anything not a Transformer.The funny thing is MOTU toys are clearly what inspired Pretenders, so kids can mix their transformers with MOTU toys. But its n like those are much moved outside of a few anyways but still.
>>11572982So they should make more themed pretenders in the style of MOTU or Galaxy type stuff

>>11572946>core class shut down before we got cyberjets remadeFUUUUCK on the topic of core class, isn't it insane how we only got THREE autobot cars made? Ironhide, Ratchet, and Hot Rod. Bumblebee too but he's a mini-vehicle. The rest were dubious flying vehicles or bikes. Or nothing. like freezer.
>>11573015>Doesn't transform>Meme line worse than BlokeesI'm mad but I'll take it. Finally Glyph acknowledgement at all
>>11573032why's amk mini worse than blokees? honest question. I prefer blokees due to their stylizing and articulation personally, though.
>>11573015Wait, this glyph is being released at an -unofficial- BotCon? huh.
>>11573017when everyone just gives up
>>11573038AMK and the Aulbdrey or w/e line both look so cheap and awful to meClunky, Not very poseable, minimal accessories and they're just not very goodI'd put Blokees over them stillThe only stuff I have so far is the Devastator and whatever else came in that one wave that had Mixmaster/Long Haul Vehicles
>>11573057They only reason any of these shitty non-tfs are popular is that it scratches the legends itch for normies that cant into Third Party.

>>11573095BaiLan Toys BLT02 SkyfireIt's not out yet. It's probably going to be 100 usd since the Prime was about 50.
>>11573099shit. That's affordable.. though I assume they have to stamp it "medicine for orphans" to get through customsHow big is it? I see it's actually a functional combiner, which.. I wish we had one that put that effort into the altmode / overall cost instead, and simply made the parts removable if you really want to do like in the movie, where.. .a few parts are removed to put on optimus.
>local Wal-mart had Long Haul, Hook, and BonecrusherNGL for a brief moment I was tempted
>>11572956Would have been worth more if you hadn't removed from packaging
>>11573113He's probably 11 inches standing absolutely straight maybe? Prime is nearing 5 inches or so.
>>11573120fuck, that's excellent for 100 bucks.. I hope so. I'll keep my eye on this..
>>11572956And yet you still opened it.
>>11571033BEHOLD....UNICORN!!!FACT!!!
>>11573138anon that's a pretty corny joke and I think you need to cob to that.
>>11571581Any chance and/or rumors that a line will be released based on Transformers The Movie next year for its 40th anniversary?!?FACT!!!
>>11572849I've had bad experiences with Amazon sending me package swaps or the wrong item several times. Thankfully, it hasn't been an issue, yet. If this happens with a more expensive item, I'm not sure what they'll do.
>what is planned obsolescence Fuck
>>11573114Tempted?To what? What were you going to do?!
>>11572856>>11572931With all the clearance sales BBTS has been doing, I think it's obvious that they're in the red. They went too hard on products nobody wants (like Super7 shit).
>>11573169Not exactly sure how planned obsolescence fits in here. If anything, that's a testament to the strength of the mold. I guess you're implying that a new MP Soundwave 2.0 will be released in the next couple of years?
>>11572542I played a ton with my BW toys as a kid and every single ball joint is still pretty much as good as they were out of the box. In fact, the only really loose joint is one of Cheetor's elbows and that's not a ball joint. They're durable as fuck if made of good plastic.
>>11573138Unicron eats corn the long way
>>11573007Now Frank and his troon army will claim CJ :/

new line"Transformers OVERGEAR"

>>11573289
>>11573290https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KKkdIODSokGive me your FACE
What's this gay shit?
>>11573288Dafuq? What happened to Style Gen. or 2.0? They just call him Soundwave & Laserbeak/Condor and call it a day? Lame.Also, any sussy new faces we don't know of yet from the AOTP promos made by T-SPARK? Looks to me that they are some figures to be promoted in NYTF, but are getting a heads-up tomorrow through Takara Tomy.
>>11573288I think it's kinda weird that Takara is committed to stepping back with toon accurate stuff with stuff like MPG Optimus, and then they rerelease a MP with toy detail and just paint over it to match the cartoon.
>>11572924You can put dimples on the ball and have a detent in the socket and you get a ratcheted ball joint.
>>11573310It's toon colours of MP-13
>>11573310It's the same as the + decos they gave the carbots back in the day, Soundwave was kind of a noticeable by his absence in that era>>11573285Taking bets, do the twins get MPs or studio series first?
>>11573317>>11573322So he's a fucking semi-reissue!?
>>11573322>Taking bets, do the twins get MPs or studio series first?None, you're going to have to go 3rd party for that one
>>11573323Just like DK Guard was recently released, yes
>>11573326PIECE OF SHIT! If they dared give us an unchanged Soundwave mold, give us an MPG Enemy then! They should still have the MP Frumble mold, right?
>>11573317This mold is from 2013. Why the fuck are they rolling out such an old mold for this?
>>11573341To be fair, is there anything you could do with a new Soundwave mold? Except make it even more complicated?
>>11573349give it modern articulation
>>11573349>>11573352Nevermind that a new mold has less risks to it in terms of mold degeneration, this is something like the 9th casting. The quality control issues are going to be very bad like those very last few MP-10s
>>11573289>>11573290He's got a lot of accessories
>>11573341Knowing Takara, it means that a brand new Soundwave will be out in 18 months
Maybe a Soundwave reissue is just teeing up Blaster
Though of course theres the outside chance these are Missing Link
Actually since they used both Blaster and Twincast's box art, Im leaning ML now
>>11573360The Axe of Longinus looks fucking sick.
>>11573287So apparently this is supposed to be some kind of "real mecha design" lineMaybe like Alternators except now planes are involved?
>>11573403Very interesting. Left looks like a helicopter and right looks like a truck
>>11573374nah those silhouettes are from the MPG segment
>>11573396Nah stupid as fuck. Should just left it a spear.
In the G1 cartoon does Rodimus Prime ever use a blaster or does he only use his arm guns?
>>11573429I’ve seen him use the blaster.
>>11571062I got the Fallen because he's badass and might get the squid looking one but want to see better pics of it first. But the rest hasn't really grabbed me.
New rumors from the rumor mill
>>11573475Cuck Rod or Aspergo?
>>11572226>"Technically, all of these deals took place below the surface of the lake! That's not really your territory, I mean, up here of course, everyone knows Magmatron's word is law but you know, down there, down in the shit, you know things get a little squirrely down there...."Cool picture, I have my own little sub-plot going in my head.
>>11573067>>11573287Silhouettes reek of Spino
>>11573538
>>11573396That's the spear of cassius. Unit 13 ended up with longinus.
So who will be the next "pure" combiner or was devy a one off because of the 86 line and we'll just see evolutions of scramble city frames? Abominus is growing on me and I'd like a chance at one rather than chasing down combiner wars stuff.
>>11573542they said it's new characters
>>11573569They said a new take, not new characters. Names could be reused.
>>11572921>who is the best orange transformer? I liked PowerpinchExcellent choice, but I must submit: picrelated
>>11573582I busted out Powerpinch too to compare the oranges. My memory thought they would be the same but Razorclaw has a tomato red in there
>>11573613>"Hands up!">"Hands up!">"Hands up!"
>>11573287So, what, is it a new franchise, a line for remakes of old characters, what?
>>11573573Whatever the case nothing in the silhouette matches this art >>11573542
Takara waste time money and energy on MPG soundwave - it's an over expensive re-release of the original mp soundwave.Only comes with x2 cassettes.The THF version which improved on the original + had a version with all the cassettes is still easily available. Have RP version easily available with cassettes.Why are takara doing this pointless MPG re-release? Shouldnt they do fire guts Ginrai instead
>>11573186well I meant more like- well anyway, i'm doubling up my preorders lately and we'll see what happens. already canceled one with them over it just being late, which I imagine already hurt them in the past.>super7 shitI mean I love that stuff but i only buy it discounted.
>>11573285oooh looking forward to that>>11573287nnneat.>>11573315yes, that. that or a polyhedron.
>>11573655New series like Go, not sure if there will be animation or not, but wild king's low budget may be storeing up for something better.
>>11573289fuck yeah, not only OJR Molga, but with the cannory unit, scaled down to suit him better AND reciprocating barrel. I'm so pumped.
>>11573670Weird to see Takara trying again.
>>11573613yeah he's tomato soup orange.what's amazing to me is I never noticed powerpinch was transparent green til like, 5-6 years ago.
>>11573476Schizotron finally coming out would be nice.
>>11572507Grr-r-r-r-r-r-r...
>>11572341>had mixmaster/scavenger pre ordered on BBTS>find both at different targets by chance when doing errands>cancelled pre orders for bothMy stores rarely have anything, usually empty shelves, I got super lucky.
>>11573367>>11573369>>11573374Fucking finally.
