I have enough transformers, and so do (you).
>Still no pastebins>Old thread is still on Page 5
Even if Hasbro eventually doing these, it most likely going to be exclusive only.
>>11609115No one cares about pastebins and the prev thread is at the image limit
>>11609155I feel like armada perceptor is one of the few mini con teams that could justify being sold at deluxe prices.
>>11609159For teams of 3 i don't think thats do far off. Just like the old Assault Team.
>>11609159Totally agreed. I just wish it will be retail release.
>>11609159>>11609162Let's just hope they won't be sold alongside with some random armada character as exclusive like Star Saber with Nemesis Prime.
>>11609168HasLab Armada Unicron with Street Action Minicon Team stretch goal
>>11609111Shut up you lie
>>11609171Even worse, redeco of the first HasLab Unicron with price increase
Which fucking idiot is going to pay $43 for a tiny hollow Voyager when they can pay another $7 and get IMPROVED Masterpiece KOs instead? You can regularly get EC-01 UT Dino and WW01 MPM Bumblebee for $30 on an AliExpress sale.
>>11609196I know this thread gets a lot crazier over the suggestion of 3P or KO than it used toBut you habe to admit that Hasbro is losing the plot and these are becoming more and viable and valid avenues to getting one's transforming robot fix
>>11609221oh totally.I think the main reason we don't want to include them here is that it gets confusing. It's already confusing enough, because there's often 2 or 3 competing 3P versions of a given toy, maybe 10 or more of a given character, and for people who don't wanna spend tons of money or risk their payment info with chinese hackers, they'd just like a quick rundown of what the REAL toys are, the ones you could get in stores right now.
>>11609234In other words, it's about convenience and never about brand loyalty.
>>11609234>2 or 3 competing 3P versions of a given toy, maybe 10 or more of a given characterHasbro has been doing the exact same thing with G1 since CW. Just ask /3pg/ and watch some videos to know which is the current best. > risk their payment info with chinese hackersUse ShowZ for 3P and Aliexpress for KOs, both are safe.
>>11609242tell that to my bank, which, according to them, is blocking my attempt to use paypal with aliexpress
>>11609221Its even funnier for cases like the $80 Skybound Prime when you can buy a 13 inch tall MP 10 with diecast and accessories for $50 or get a premium paint ver. like pic for $80 shipped.
>>11609257Thank trump
>>11609234There was a time when this *was* 3P's homeThey didn't just start with their own threadBut you can probably imagine how much they dominated conversation in 2012Which would you rather talk about? FOC Bruticus or TFC Hercules?
>>11609262well this was back during his first term, I think? or during biden's. I don't remember.>>11609263yeah that's the thing. I would love if they were in one thread, but... it's a reasonable separation.
>>11609259I dont wanna be that guy but these have much shittier plastic that starts to stress after 2-3 years so in a sense official is still in demand if only because they are sturdierits still better for example, get the 86 KOs than the original as those have tons of redecos and the megatron arm as well
>>11609266> stress after 2-3 yearsHasbro plastic stresses out of the box.
>>11609259Kek
How come no one created a site for all up-to-date info on all 3rd party like transformerland.com already
>>11609271People have been waiting for someone else to make a third party wiki database for over a decade
>>11609268Funny but my point still stands, hasbro plastic still feels nicer
>>11609271Someone tried here, an anon contributed the first and only article, a page for Bigfirebird with hyperdetailed info on Nicee and Magic Henshin then left immediately afterwards. Lmao
>>11609273>muh feels defenseBootleg shit is filled with diecast and ratchets for maximum feels.
Dinoking is finally on sale, glad I can finally pick him up. Hope SS86 Springer and Agent Knight are good too.
>>11609274You mind to give the link?
>>11609276>>muh feels defenseAnon i dont know what else to tell you, i already said i prefer 3p/KOs than official haslab shit. im just saying the reasons why people still buys official rather than KO
>>11609276>muh memecastI've had enough 3p figures with heavy ass legs that can barely hold a pose to resent diecast entirely Ratchets are also overrated but at least they have a place
>>11609277this anon is talking about hasbro pulse
>>11609283you don't need ratchets on most generations scale figures to be faironly big leaders, commanders, and titansfor MP it's a different story die cast only has one real use besides 'muh premium feel' and it's using it for tiny joints that might snap if they were made of plastic
>>11609235>brand loyaltyThat's a thing? I just buy what appeals to me. Doesn't matter who's making it, just as long as the quality's good and the price is decent.
How long until Defensor?
>>11609297>die cast only has one real use besides 'muh premium feel' and it's using it for tiny joints that might snap if they were made of plasticAlso feet for added stability, as any owner of SoCs and Karate Bugmen knows.
>>11609305evan said there'd be a combiner every year, defensor is the only pre-movie combiner that hasn't been done yet I don't think any protectobots were in the leaks but we're 100% seeing them in 2027.
>>11609221>>11609259Because Hasbro loyalists are in a cult. You've seen the known Has-bros on this board. Overweight, leech off family, no art or social skills, they use their underwear as a catch rag. They only buy OFFICIARRY RICENSED even if it's trash, because they think the multi-billion dollar company will go under if they buy a KO or simply turn down a toy for being shit. They're often the smoothbrains that want slavish toon accuracy which is why colors suck & combiners don't combine anymore. They rarely have children as they are impotent & can't make women cum. Hasbro deserves them, frankly.If Hasbro is really reliant on them as a customer base, next year will be rough when the orange jew cuts welfare. Walky & Jin might have to eat the digs Kristi Noem kills just to feed themselves.
>>11609277DESU I don't think the Dinoking is well designed. Both of the combined arms doesn't look like it belong together, both arms have drastically different elbow joint and bend differently as well. Besides, it doesn't even look accurate to the character.
>>11609312how the fuck do you make a transforming toy of this design without masterpiece level panelforming
>>11609312
>>11609159>three core class figures>engineering to combine>greedThat's at least a voyager.
>>11609317micromasters actually
>>11609314The design suffer from these flaws because they prioritize each individual members as Dinobots first. What I meant by that is each members designed to transform the way Dinobots transform.They are not approaching the design from making Dino force first.
>>11609306Added stability is a meme, a figure can easily be stable if the designers actually give a shit enough to consider weight distributionAll stuffing metal into the legs does is shackle them down, destroys hip joints, and makes any aerial poses or anything that requires the legs to be held up (without a stand) basically impossible There's a reason why most chokogin owners just have them in extremely basic poses, they're too weighed down by flimsy bullshit in the name of "quality" to do much of anything else
>>11609308Don't call out most YTubers like that.
>>11609155>>11609159I still have the original, but I'd be down for a modern take with actual articulation.So long as they don't shatter during transformation.
>>11609308I just hate that all combiners now use fake thighs, see Devastator and Liokaiser.Even when frame combiner is over, they will still be using fake thighs.
>>11609334Retain the same transformation engineering with added elbow, knee, and ankle joints will be sufficient
>>11609338Thighs are thighs, they're not fake.
Magmatron worth $77?
>>11609386The vintage one maybe
Galbatron when?
>>11609388>maybe You dont own it so you wouldnt know
>>11609395One is too small and the other is shit
>>11609391I need those gun knees
Pulled the trigger on Magmatron for $67, I forgot I'm a dunce that bought prem this year
>>11609403This design SUCKS>>11609408God I wish I got Magmatron for $67, that's an amazing deal.
>>11609403well then we need to put you in a sackalso those would realllly get in the way of like, the knee mechanism..
>>11609419>This design SUCKSBWII Galvatron is interesting to me because he feels like a late G1/Brave/Gridman design takara had around that they just reworked to try and fit BW.. Mainly changing the head and trying to give him some more curvy bits. H's effectively a classic Takara brick with the articulation largely being incidental due to transformation than intentional like most BW figures. The head feeling like an afterthought is another thing that makes me think that
>>11609395I own both. 77 sounds fair for the commander, but might be a little high for the vintage. The new one poses much more dynamically, but unfortunately has a very short sword, seasaur neck and the skysaurs wing membranes are rather ugly. The old one has gorilla arms, no thigh swivel, and needs the skysaur's claws untabbed to use the (actually quite nice) neck articulation.
>>11609426yeahhhh but the DESIGN is cool, just not the actual toy.i'd love a remade version of him that doesn't have hollow shins, gauntlets that extend way behind the elbows, a brick of a body, etc.I'd also like to see the modes reworked a bit because they just don't quite work as-is.
>>11609426I have this guy, and he's immensely superior to OG Lio Convoy. but I'm so afraid of him developing GPS. Which is a shame because he's a lot of fun to play with.
>>11609105When is Scavenger?
>>11609433Anon, don't ask 'when is scavenger' when you should be asking 'HOW is scavenger'
>PANTSlaught
>>11609308Schizo rant aside, I can't believe people who rag on 4P are real.What do you care the company that hasn't delivered in over 10 years now goes under?
>>11609440>4Pjust say bootleggers, anon.
>>11609440why would anyone rag on 4pit's just 3p getting a taste of its own medicine>>11609444it's only strictly a bootleg if they made molds of the parts to copy them. but the definition can be extended to merchandise made with stolen or copied molds.
>Anons dont know about the mythical 5P>4P KOs ordered from the bootleggers, then sent straight to the upgrade kit paint shops with custom made-to-order paint jobs to appeal to your endgame accuracy autism
>>11609450I'm only counting four and a half Ps there.
>>11609466>1. Hasbro/Takara>2. Licensee (Flamestoys/Blokees)>3. Third party >4. Bootlegs factory>5. Paint shop
>>11609426>he feels like a late G1/Brave/Gridman design takara had around that they just reworked to try and fit BWDoesn't look like those at all to me. He has the same vibes as RiD Megatron, something that tried to have BW aesthetics but going more into the mechanical direction with some super robot sensibilities. It builds from some past ideas but doesn't look like a repurposed mold at all if you're knowledgeable about Brave and Gridman, those have really different aesthetics.
>>11609472yeah but the paint shop only customized it.. you don't call a customized firstparty toy 3P do you?
>>11609476..well, you call it a first party toy with third party labels..
>>11609476But that shop also makes the upgrade kits. At what point does a bootlegger become "official" enough to deserve a P?
>>11609482Hmm. So if we're talking paint and decals, that is merely a customif we're talking upgrade kits.. those can be licensed OR 3P, but I think since you're buying them -as a product themselves- then they are just second party like any normal product. If you combined two toys from different manufacturers together, you wouldn't start calling THAT 3P now would you.
>>11609426I own this guy, and as clunky and awkward as he is, I love him. I'd totally be down for a modern remake of him - something a little less stumpy and with the triple-changing gimmick reworked to be a bit more cohesive.
>>11609487A "party" simply refers to any individual company or entity you are dealing with. It took the combined work of five parties to make the final product and customizers are the ones that are getting the sale. If someone mass commissioned these customs, put them in fancy boxes and flipped them at TFCon I'd consider that 6th party.
>>11609496Idunno that seems arbitrary. When we talk of 3P we're talking unlicensed, under that definition, then yes, using a 3P add-on kit makes your toy third party. but anything you could legally sell without repercussion, like a painted version of the figure, or a licensed kit, can't count.
>>11609499You're overthinking it. Its just a manner of how many step removed your toy is from God's light. If I decided to buy that TFCon custom then add some handpainted 3D print kits then resell it then that's 7th party.
>>11609502I think you just want the number to go upi can dig it
>>116094332 months ago
>>11609472The customer is the second party.
>>11609528how do people not know that?it's the same as the second in 'second person', it's you.
>>11609487>>11609496>>11609499>>11609502>>11609541Third party just means bootleg it's why bbts only lists transformers under the third party tag, it's all bootlegs
>>11609308>Overweight, leech off family, no art or social skills, they use their underwear as a catch rag.Is this projection?
>>11609543No my parents abandoned me and I live in my neighbours walls, I'm skinny from all the cocaine and meth and I dont wear underwear
Are you guys sure that the Big Convoy will get better looking Japanese version?
>>11609569There's no way to know. They might do it, they might not, it could also be years before they get around to it.
>>11609569Probably. Look how Leo convoy turned out.
Man, Onyx is dissapointing. I liked how it looked, but in-hand the transformation and rubbery plastic just kill my enthusiasm, also it's boring how over half the transformations are just moving the hooves and arms differently for the kimera (there's 3, for some reason, and it doesn't change much so they feel pointless.
>>11609105>That BrawlOne of my favorite transformers but he looks kind of weird on this photo.Here i tried to draw him.he feels like his legs are too skinny and long and i hope he will feel better in hand.And his 3 cannon at the back makes him look weird too.Despite Combiner Wars brawl had one of the most stupidest torsos ever i still liked him because he was some sort of a tiny castle/fortress-guy looking.Hope this comparison makes sense lolI'm going to buy him anyway - Bruticus is my most hyped transformer
>>11609303Most people are like thus but having a "brand loyal cult" boogeyman helps people sleep better
>>11609648>brand loyal cult...retards?
It's nice they made Nemesis dark blue like the show, but isn't it too close to the Powerlinx colors?
>>11609543You lost, catkilling pedo.
>>11609706I'm not diosotj, in fact, I think the guy I'm replying to is him.
>>11609713Oh fuck, sorry, meant to reply to that guy. My mistake, clicked the wrong post. Disregard, I suck cocks etc.
>>11609685Optimus would also use show colors and his were closer to black there. Hopefully, they aren't retarded and they add his trailer.
>>11609715It's cool. We all make mistakes. It happens.
>>11609196It is a good deal, but I just don't collect MP, and sadly nearly nobody (3P's or bootleggers) are interested in doing Generations scale figures. I also am a big fan of continuities beyond G1 and Bay, and obscurer characters, so MP isn't making what I want anywho. I'm not going to get a G2 Liege Maximo out of MP scale, or anything UT that isn't from Fanshobby.Like, absolutely call me when they all do. But, I've got no options here besides praying for HasTak stock to go on sale/discount.
When can we expect them to reveal Swindle? This November?
>>11609751>expecting a swindle reveallol dream on, fucko
TJ really likes Earth Spark. Rumors of a season 4 continuation excites him.Do anyone watch Earth Spark? I wonder what is the appeal?
>>11609764Thats because TJs gonna become a troon-rat soon
>>11609730So far the armada optimus from the official one and the fanshobby one are using stylized design. There is yet to be a animation accurate representation of armada optimus in toy form.
>>11609764The Amazing Atheist likes Earthspark? Wouldn't surprise me that the fruit fucker would enjoy it.
>>11609768>The Amazing AtheistWhat is this 2015?
>>11609308>Because Hasbro loyalists are in a cultThis, and Hasbro has spent the last 5+ years restructuring their business model to take advantage of those people. It's all about getting diehard fans with money to burn to buy multiples of a mold at inflated price points, as opposed to actually offering a wider range of high-quality toys to encourage consumer growth. The former is simply the more reliable path to increasing dividends for shareholders, so that's where we are.
I know this upcoming MPG has gotten mixed reactions, but I really love the way it looks. Is this the first time a G1 Optimus has actually had dual wheels on his rear axles like a proper truck should?>inb4 "BUT NONE OF THE REST OF IT LOOKS LIKE A PROPER TRUKK!"That's the smartest move they could have made. This feels like a fantasy anime truck—the kind of thing you might see towing a Patlabor around on a flatbed, or in the background of Akira or Giant Robo. The Seige mold had the same kind of energy and I always liked it for that. The concept of making G1 Optimus into a realistic COE semi peaked with the G1/Diaclone toy itself—we have ML for that—and tooners have their pick between MP-44 or SS86. I'm glad we're going a new direction now.
I know this would not be happening. Armada protoforms: optimus, megatron, hotshot, redalert, starscream, and demolisher.
>marketers advised Evan not to make #ActiveYourAltmode Shockwave a squid to avoid undercutting the potential market for a Giant Kup-eatin' Squid down the line>the throttlebots are clearly the next frontier after the minibots (alternate heads are baked into the 86 Bee tooling)>we don't have to worry about Alpha Bravo
>>11609814What would they even transform into though?
>>11609811Style gen shouldn't be in MPG.If they did transformable flame toys furai model optimus will be much more interesting.
>>11609829cybertronian-ize of their vehicle form like how they always did on the other lines
>>11609836I mean, they kind of already are. How many trucks have you seen that look like Armada Optimus?
>>11609833That design is garbage, though. And why is there a random wheel on his axe? You can literally see all of his other wheels in robot mode already, lol. This is just a generic obari mech wearing a half-assed Optimus Prime costume. It's not intended to transform, and quite frankly I wouldn't want to see the underwhelming attempt at forcing it to.
>>11609829I noticed the protoform don't have wheels. He could transform to a wheel-less hovercraft.
>>11609633Do FoC Brawl next
>>11609764The appeal is what could’ve been (post war alliances and dissolution from the decepticons)Vs What we actually got (90% annoying ugly family with progressive bs)Even the small amount of 5 min cyber world episodes were better than this crap
>>11609867>post war alliances and dissolution from the decepticonsWhat are the stakes that push the story forward?
>>11609884quintessons
>>11609811I think he looks pretty good honestly, might get him if I can. He'd look good next to my Despotron.
>>11609848>That design is garbageThis is definitely a cool design. Especially the torso, shoulders and the crotch.>why is there a random wheel on his axe?I guess the design are meant to be like a random car junk formed as a weapon, kinda like random scraps customized weapon in a zombie apocalypse
Any idea or guess what the 2026 HasLab will be?We know we’re not getting an Age of the Primes Titan in 2026 but getting two commanders (Studio series gets Titan Grimlock).
>>11609922My guess on the next HasLab are another JP TF. Probably the rest of Victory casts, Road Caesar or Landcross.People been saying JP TF wouldn't sell on retail. But I assume that's all bs.
>>11609855>Do FoC Brawl nexti did the rest of Brawlsprobably forgot some other versions but these are the most famous ones
>>11609946Try to make your original spin on it
>>11609957I'll try to do that later.One of the best parts of these Brawls to me is how Combiner Wars one has massive shoulders. This makes him look like walking tower/chess figureI think Brawl should be like a wall/tower/castle or something like that.
>>11609829Right? Hasbro doesnt need an excuse to make more Transformers that transform into nothing.
>>11609946Hehe. Chud Brawl.
>>11609884Decepticons being lost without a leader trying to find their place in the worldShockwave frozen to time only waking after the war is overPlenty of post WW2 allegories that could’ve been exploredBut obviously I expected way too much
>>11609990That would include Alpha Trion and other Primes.
>>11609990You mean bots from Bumblebee movies shouldn't exist in toy form?
>>11610010What are you trying to say?
>>11610022Bots on Cybertron that doesn't transform on screen. HasTak have to come up with alternate mode for those to be made a toy.
>In a new Toys Are Russ interview with Evan Brooks (SS86 designer\), it was revealed that there has been a philosophy shift in sculpt and all G1 figures moving forward will be entirely based on the toon, Megatron was made in the "transitionary-phase", so a new one is possible.
>>11610034I take it to mean that Thundercracker is the real new standard
>>11610034>G1 figures moving forward will be entirely based on the toonI've waited an eternity for this
Should I do it?
>>11610051Yeah, its a fun toy with a good tank mode and a silly plane mode. Thats a great price.
>>11610045It's over, Prime
>>11610034>>11610040>>11610045>Tooners ruin MP>Then they ruin 3P>Now they ruin CHUGWe need to kill them all.
>>11610034god i cant wait for all the fat fuck g1 worship boomers to die off
>>11610064Seriously, how many versions can satisfy them
Can we at least get all the Headmaster Jrs and Euro G1 characters before we redo the ‘84 cast again? Pretty please?
>>11610034thats a shame
>>11610067Post body
>>11610067Not entirely G1, they only glazed on 84 to 86. Ignoring everything else. Euro G1 and JP G1 are completely ignored.
>>11610067The era of Beast Machines Chads is nigh
>>11610034Im not sure how I feel about this. From Chug til now, everyone debates how “toon accurate” any given figure is. And none of them ever actually are. There has always been that “Chug” embellishment that makes everything sort of cohesive and now thats over. Many people already feel like they leaned in too hard on degreebling them. All the new shit is not going to look right with the past 20 years of figures. Sounds like its time to start rebuying the entire collection all over again.
BW Rattrap, Rhinox and Cheetor needs another redo
>>11610051
>>11610034Great, more smoothed out toonslop with ugly gray paint
>>11610034‘Bout time
>>11610082>Sounds like its time to start rebuying the entire collection all over again.Oh, Hasbro would HATE for that to happen, I'm sure.
>The year is 2029>Hasbro has just previewed Perfect Screen Capture '84 Titan-Class Optimus Prime for only $250 (he's a smaller Titan so they feel a small discount is good)>I can't afford it as I'm three year behind on my labor debt to the Department of Amazon for my living cube, but Studio Series 84 Optimus (released in 2027) is showing its age
>>11610140Lmao
I want a new clench
>>11610140Fun fact, hasbro demands at least One Optimus Prime per year or any other Prime like Rodimus.
>>11610034>so a new one is possible.Another one!?
>>11610034>another fucking G1 resetGreat, can't wait to buy all my Siege and up toys all over again.
I actually did it, I got ONE MORE clearance tigatron to customize. this one's getting clear gray over his coat that should still retain the tiger stripes.

>>11610034>Generations is dead unless a 3P comes alongThis is miserable. They're going to shelve over two decades worth of design philosophy for the aesthetics of a dogass cartoon that didn't even last four years.And why this miserable, Sunbow-animated piece of trash over the G1 toys or comic? The cunt's movie flipped in '86. We gonna appeal to the TF:One crowd in 35 years now too? Fuck G1.
>>11610034If greeble lovers cared they would've bought more toys instead of crying. G1 chads continue to keep winning.
>>11610233It looks like the cartoon and it has no details, it's SHIT
>>11610220>Trying to push "Tooners are Animated fans" againNice try but no.>>11610241We did buy toys. Plenty of them in fact. But Hasbro realized that tooners are such brain-dead addicts that will eternally buy the next version of their favourite non-character from the G1 cartoon as long as they shave a little bit more soul and detail from the toys at a time, that they can keep them buying the same characters ad infinitum without ever having to do anything actually new.Tooners are consoomer bugmen and Hasbro knows it. You're getting played for suckers, and ironically so is Hasbro- because once the toonerboomers start dying off (soon, hopefully) they'll have to either rapidly gain back good will from everyone else or otherwise die as their main source of income perishes from heart attacks from a lifetime diet of goyslop.>>11610242Animated, unlike G1, was actually good.

>>11609814Gonna be honest, retools of the armada cast into cybertronian mode is not happening and those designs dont look like they even transform(outside Megatron due to how close he is to his final version). Instead would like them to be model kits
>>11610271>You obviously did not if they are pandering to G1 enjoyers.We did buy them- that was under John Warden though, who actually knew what the fuck he was doing, unlike Mark, who is a drooling retard.>The rest is a bunch of cope I'm not readingI accept your concession.

>>11609946>>11609633>>That Brawl>One of my favorite transformers but he looks kind of weird on this photo.nvm i just watched this videohe looks so cool - i cant' wait to get two Brawls and make a TANKINATOR like i did with Bruticus making "all tanks" combiner (though i don't think current Brawl can be used as a hand so i guess it will be two Vortex + 2 Tanks)
>>11610045We’ve been getting fucking nothing but tooner pandering for a decade, what could you possibly mean by “waiting”
>>11610274Whcih transformer? What a cocksucker.
>>11610280Hes just a dysgenic little goon and the stereotypical person someone would imagine to be a transformers fan.
>>11609848Retard has never changed a tire before
>>11610264Tooner is cartoons, period.
>>11610297No, tooner refers specifically to people who think the Sunbow incarnation of G1 is the best version of Transformers and that the toys should look like that.
>>11610275I guess I need to wear a go pro on my head and record every inch of the figure and an unbroken video from packing the box to taking it to the post office? >>11610287A combiner wars helicopter. They snapped the tabs on the last step where you close the legs up to form the top of the heli. Story update: his fucking mom wrote me>hes 18 years old, he didnt break itI explained to her he did in fact break it and they stupidly sent me proof he played with it (it was sent in bot mode, damage pics are in alt mode). She replies>its not our fault Fucking hell man. I threw a hail mary and demanded she take some accountability…and she actually cancelled the return request
>>11610298That's a Geewunner.
>>11610302Jfc dude 18 years old and his mom write you??? That is inssne.

Will (you) be buying the $3200 ai-slopped statues?
>>11610337Frankly statuecels and non-transforming transformer buyers (not counting Action Master collectors) deserve it.
>>11610337you cant sell anything made by AI, because anyone could generate it themselves. you can only ask people to pay for materials.
>>11610319No, a geewunner is someone who likes G1 to the exception of all else. A tooner is a more specific form of geewunner who can't even tolerate non-Sunbow G1 stuff.
>>11609764>TJ really likes Earth Spark. Rumors of a season 4 continuation excites him.So?Why does that get your attention?
>>11610363stop trying to make t**ner a thing
>>11610376Tooner is already a thing.
>>11610363So what's a Beast Wars fan who does that for their cartoon? Also a tooner? A Fraamer?
>aholes arguing about autistic shit and trying to outseethe each other>nobody posts photos of their toysWhy /tf/ became such shit...
>>11610378The vast majority of Beast Wars fans don't do that though. Also Beast Wars, unlike G1, is good.
>>11610380Post some toys bro

>>11610381i'm pretty sure there's a lot of us who are, at least softly, beast wars purists.I mean I like other mecha animals too, but most of them don't pull it off very well. the ones without organic modes seem to use that as an excuse to have bricky beast limbs
>>11610415Hes >>11610405 actually trooning out ??

>>11610405>this is your brain on no new toys
>>11610437Getting bullied by some retard into not posting? what a pathetic lot.
So how much is people willing to pay for armada nemesis prime
>>11610444For a version of the design gimped by the need for the combined mode it doesn't have?About 30$ sounds right.
>>11610337nobody in /tfg/ is a REAL COLLECTOR
>>11610280He acts professional and he stays apolitical in his toy videos.No, I don't care about what he thinks about media because Transformers hasn't had a good piece of media since Cybertron. The franchise is cursed.
>>11610439you're the faggot who complained about frameslop yet bought superion and devastator.
Transformers Devastation Optimus Prime. Is it worth the money? Is it a good figure? I see mixed feelings on it.
>>11610471man that is all i ask. you can believe in whatever shit, but you gotta leave it out of the work. You can be vaguely judeochristian, because that built the country. but even back in the strongest days, TV shows didn't hit you over the head with it. Wasn't tasteful.
>>11610478not a bad figure per see its just that this year is stacked with optimus prime toys
>>11610478It's a great desk bot, has a beautiful robot mode for the deluxe class price and a fun transformation, but the vehicle mode is kinda shit not worth 25 unless you're collecting all the devastation figures. It'll likely shelfwarm and go on sale. I'd highly recommend grabbing it if you have legacy united g1 toy optimus prime though as it lets you do sonic generations classic and modern posing (legacy g1 prime also has devastation prime's gun)
>>11610481>I'd highly recommend grabbing it if you have legacy united g1 toy optimus primeI have this and honestly it's in my top 3 figures of all time. Devastation Optimus is still full price at Walmart but there's two left and they seem to be disappearing from my area. Coincidentally my usually shitty Walmart got all of the new wave of figures in and (1) Megatron which I missed out on.
>>11610346>statuecels and non-transforming transformer buyersI can at least respect bayshit statue buyers because they cost way less and have thousands of hand painted pieces. Unless its heavily cel shaded, Toon statues are the biggest scam in the whole hobby.
>>11610476>complained about frames Nope, not me.
>233 posts >THREE people have posted a photo of a toy they own>two of them are replies to the anon who is being verbally assaulted for posting pictures Reminder you are an attention whoring faggot if you post your toys on TFG
What's he going to turn int?
>>11610510I think he’ll work like a mega pretenderUnderneath the monstrous look he’ll be like Loki
>>11610510If I were more cynical I'd say he'd probably just be an overlord pretool (tank/jet duocon type setup)but considering they've stuck to their guns about none of the primes having planned retools so far I think that he'll probably be what >>11610511 saysinner robot becomes a generic cybertronic jet
>>11610378look at >>11610381they're obviously a Faggot.
dinobot made me feel things and that's why beast wars is the best transformers show
>>11610525Feel what? Lust?
>>11610529of course. on account of his rigid grill structure.
>>11610532>>116105291: this image is official2: let's not forget all the times there are close ups of dinobot's ass
I thought fans preferred adorable and hilarious. The toy really doesn't capture this aesthetic well.

>>11610559better!buuuut this doesn't transform, does it
>>11610535Cute and funny aesthetic is rare in Transformers.
>>11610564It's non-transformable model kit.
>>11610572tragically. but we have a few. especially Sari-chan. and I'm pretty fond of Miko as well.imagine how cute a character like Cheetor would have been if he was a girl instead? all feisty and trying to prove herself but having to be reprimanded by Boss Bot.. hnng.. that's moe. AND cat on top of that.
>>11610478>Transformers Devastation Optimus Prime. Is it worth the money? Is it a good figure? I see mixed feelings on it.I got him and looks great!!!FACT!!!

>>11610478Easily one of the worst Studio Series releases everIt's such absurd and total dogshit. I'm actually surprised people ate it up. It's literally a budget line figure with sub average points at premium priceI wouldn't trust the word of a single person who willingly paid money for it

>>11610640Those tubes on the abdomen could have use a better design, a front skirt or something, instead it looks like he is wearing a diaper.
>>11610034lollmaoTime to get into Diaclone
>>11610478Well now you have the opportunity to buy three of themYes. Apparently they are just releasing a three pack of the same toy
>>11610765A closer look at "the good one"
>>11610765>hasbro's selling factory rejects nowwew
>>11610765What in the fuck is this even supposed to be? If it was supposed to be stages of animation then maybe include the mesh lines. This just looks stupid with 2 unfinished toys and 1 with a premium paint job.
https://tfwikicommunity.wordpress.com/2025/10/29/a-stampede-of-hooves-and-tires-my-saturday-with-the-hasbro-team-mcm-comic-con-25/Interview with the designers, there's a lot of things said here so I'm not going to bother greentexting everything.
>>11610559Frank's gonna freak!
>>11610771It's supposed to be, like, stages of toy design...Which implies that every finished product we get should look like >>11610766
>>11610772
>>11610765>let's finally make a cel shaded Devastation prime >but sir nobody will buy another repaint after this>just sell it at 3X the price to squeeze as much as possible from the mold one last timeIf they really wanted to demonstrate the production process they could have made a behind the scenes booklet, made it out of unique material like bandai or given 3D printed accessories like Lego
On the right looks like Kabaya kit
>>11610786Customizers would love the gray prototype, but not be paying for 3 pack.
>>11610765Wew thank god Eric is back. Current team are retards and have no idea what they're doing
>>11610790This is a marketing thing, not a toy design thingAny design he could dream up could still end up in a package hust as retarded as this
this is just a painted prototype right?Most of the blue will be molded in the proper color right?They can't be insane enough to have another MP with painted body right?
>>11610798I know it was the original design, but having a "PLAY" button on the crotch is funny.
>>11610765Thanks I'll just stick with the one at Walmart and get a toyhax sticker pack and save myself $50 on the three pack.
>>11610765That mold is shit and now you can get THREE of it as a pack! Genius!
>>11610786>they finally make anti-hate plague alloy coated Optimus >its in a 3 pack >of the Devastaton mold So close. Souldve come packed with 2 figures that are all red

>>11609196>Which fucking idiot is going to pay $43 for a tiny hollow VoyagerSeriously. I came across Flatline and Alpha Trion at Walmart this weekend which are both figures I wanted but couldn't bring myself to buy them at that price. Shits ridiculous.
>>11610798Based nooticer. That seemed to be painted prototype.
>>11610843Optimus Prime sells, people love the guy. Just buy the one you want and be happy man idk what the issue is. Life is better when you aren't turbo anal about accuracy, and you don't *have* to buy the new one.
>>11610798They didn't even bother to retool the awkward thigh joint
>>11610765>>11610777>>11610786I cannot imagine paying for this, and I've paid for some dumb shit.
>>11610715Turkleton.
To wash the taste of that dismal three pack out of your mouth have some leaks
>>11610896
>>11610766Thats really nice, but not enough to buy the whole set.
>>11610897>new dawn of future's past capsuleHoly shit that means we'd be getting a bunch of updated figures assuming they're gonna be accurate to their Botcon toys. I'd still want to get these versions but there's a ton of redeco/retool potential from that Waspinator potentially being a Machine Wars jet.
>>11610927I'd temper your expectations a smidgeExpect Cheetor to be a 24th Sideswipe repaint etc
>>11610897>CryotekIts not the TM2 Megs redeco we want, is it?Also, "Comic Ratbat"?
BUT WHERES THE LASER RODS
>>11610936AFTER THROTTLEBOTS
>>11610939NOI DONT WANT THATWAITING UNTIL A SHITTY OBSCURE GROUP NOBODY CARES ABOUT IS DONE??????NO I WANT THEM DO WHAT I WANT

>>11610896>>11610897>Nitro Zeus>CryotekFINALLY!
Will they ever explain the relationship between Armada Minicons (spawn of Unicron) and TFP/RID Minicons (spawn of Micronus) in AotP lore? Or is it too mini of an issue?
>>11610896>Voy Comic BlasterOh shit, we're finally getting Marvel Blaster? Sweet!Also is that Marvel Soundwave confirmed? Wonder if it'll use the new SS86 mold or the Earthrise / Legacy one.
>>11610949Whats to explain? Different dimensions, different origins.
Imagine buying modern slop, I got this Deluxe in package today for the same price as a modern deluxe! Hes about as artoculated as a modern Deluxe, he has 2-3 fun gimmicks (you guys remember 'fun' right?) And a 3rd mode (maybe the 4th gimmick)
>>11610930>>11610946>CryotekIt's a no-brainer, that is the only repaint it has. It will be TM2 Megs.

>>11610965>>11610980>>11610997Is this where we're at now? Praising the worst of the vehicons to try and stick it to the modern industry?
>>11610980>>11610981Thanks. It looks interesting.
>>11611003The worst? Why because it doesnt look like a human wearing armor? They are *robots* in disguise anon, don't be goofy
>>11611002Alot of the Comic ones are probably repaints.
>>11611004Hes fun but watch the vac metal, it does chip. There is a Universe redeco that looks sweet and I think doesnt have the vac metal.
>>11611001>shitty pics Your photography however is truly unmatched and masterful! A real renaissance man
>>11610765This mold isn't even worth buying once
>>11611008i like the Universe deco more cause it looks like the Punisher. way cooler looking than the beige/tan colour honestly
>$85 for three of the shittiest mold of all timelmao>>11610896>>11610897these are turbo fake fyi
Ok but why they are putting the devastation op mold in a 3 pack
>>11611022Real btw I confirmed it
>>11611012Yeah, needs more pelvic thrusting.
>>11611024Its "educational", so you can see all the steps in making a toy.
>>11611026you should try harder next time because it's blatantly a modified TFW post
>>11611028that doesnt make a lick of sense
>>11611002Also>post is formatted like a TFW2005 post, but a background check shows it doesn't exist>2 Drifts in the same year>protectobots already when Evan just said they haven't even touched work on Defensor yet
>>11610980Beast Era "I'm going to pretend these extra missiles are clubs" doesn't get nearly enough hate the way "the tail becomes a sword" does.
>>11611035Whats to hate? A missile hurts a lot more than a tail
>>11610965The only reason you could find this so cheap is cause it's a piece of shit mold that looks stupid, almost every other vehicon was a better toy that looked far better
>>11611046Uh oh sounds like someone maximized their pants lmao sorry its not the 500,000th Toon(tm) Accurate(tm) Optimus Prime! But hey if you're down so bad they got a nifty 3 pack comin out for you people
>>11611050He's not wrong. Its a pretty ugly design, even for 2001.
>>11611003>the worst of the vehiconsLet's be real, that's 100% Mechatron, and baring him it'd probably be Strika or Cycle Drone/Thrust 2.0 (or even Thrust 1.0)
>>11610896>>11610897Not just fake but also gay.
>>11611060Haters is gonna hate.But in all seriousness yeah he looks funny in his 2 robot mods but thats fine by me. Most of the Maximals turned out ugly as sin but I appreciate that they were trying to be more Beast on the Maximal side and more Machines on the vehicon side. Its nice to see Transformers designs that aren't too humanoid I think.Blastcharge is a fun toy with a cool transformation and I think a solid alt and robot mode, albeit topheavy. I think it would be easy as hell to modernize this guy, but I'd miss the missiles and his "attack mode" alt mode gimmick. Also the gear that turns the turret is I think a very cool play feature.Buyer beware about that vac metal for any old TF though.
I don't even know why I got this when I still haven't build blitzwing from 3 year agoI hope this is good I appreciate they tried to have toys of the BB movie but with how good the actual mainline toys with the movie. Most of the kits seem to be redundant
>>11610999we got Dreamwave Ratbat at home
>>11610897So, Cheetor will most definitely be an Override repaint, but what about Waspinator? Is going to be a roadpig or road rocket (for the thrust reference?) I cant think of any recent deluxe size jets to come out.
>>11611084I unironically still love that design for Ratbat. If it gets remade with the new Sideways mold, maybe his faction symbol could switch from deception to a little picture of a tape or something.
>>11611066I get the vehicon aeshetic but Blastcharge always came together in a way that made him feel unfinished. Like his awkward misaligned hips leading to legs with no knees and fold out flat flaps for feet. The weedy stick arms. It's like they started from his rotating launcher and battering ram gimmicks and worked backwards how to make a toy from those.
>>11610976It's definitely going to be TM2 Megs - but wouldn't it be funny if they finally gave us pic related instead?
>>11610965>>11610980>>11611066To be honest, I always wanted this guy. My only issue with him is that his launcher cant fold down against his chest when not in use.
>>11611121I mean, he kinda has knees... but yeah, were I do give this guy an AOTP style update I would adjust a lot of things. Frankly I don't think it would be hard to do the following.1. Put the arm assembly into the front of the APC, having the front 2 wheels act as shoulder pauldrons to make his arms loook beefier, and give them an elbow swivel2.adjust that crazy hip gap3. Shorten his feet/toes and extend the mostly useless heel spur4 (optional) make his gun fold down and cover the chest rather than have it always pertrude.As he is though, and I'm being honest here, I don't believe that he is really that far behind modern figures- design proportions aside. If its *real* coping hours then you could even approximate an ankle tilt using the way the wheels fold on the leg. Wouldn't be that much worse than 86 Devastator, and I say that as a fan.
>>11611133We tiltan, what now CHUGgots?
Consider.
>>11611095The one in >>11611084 switched between Decepticon and Ultracon (Ratbat's team)
>>11610984>Sounds like some of you faggots need to chill out and maybe enjoy a nice sunset, like Beachcomber here.based beachcomber broignore the autist-it's the same faggot from Lego threads
Am I the only one that finds it really weird how Hasbro kept releasing the ER Wheeljack mold, and never added his gun? Even the newest release only included a gun from devastation, but they seemingly only used that mold for the new weapon and nothing else.
>>11611169wheeljack never had a gun, his original toy only had the shoulder cannonshe's always used either some generic pistol/welding tool thingy, which his shoulder cannon functions as. He also uses a gun designed after Jazz's photon rifle in the cartoon I believe, which is also what was used in the devastation release (as one of the basic blasters was based off Jazz's gun..)I would like to see his gun sword from combiner wars come back though.(and for the record, the autobots stand united 5 pack wheeljack used legacy elita 1's gun, which I believe is on a separate accessory mold since a similar weapon was included with the red cog accessory pack)
>>11610651haha, gross. yeah that does fit.
>>11610659but you're always naked..>>11610670oh I guess not always>>11610676i assumed it was just kinda racist and everyone is sick of talking about that shit
>>11611169That's par for the course. WfC releases had a lot of missing weapons and accessories. ER Prime and Megs chiefly.
>>11610777that's almost as dumb as when TMNT put out a bunch of figures showing the evolution of a character....'s toyline.. and they were glued to the base.>>11610786that's not even how that works!
>>11610994what the fuck, i don't need another Primal. I mean I wouldn't mind Nemesis Primal if they wanted this to be like, a team-up
I got my Missing Link Arcees. They really nailed the 1986 vibe, about the only thing that feels "modern" to me is how her arm panels have only the tiniest of tabs to hold the min place for car mode. I think a proper G1 toy wouldn't have done that and just relied on friction for those and then when your joints got loose years later oh well. Maybe her tiny heelspurs wouldn't have been there, but I think I've seen one or two toys of the era that actually did have heel spurs so I'll let them slide.
>>11610980hand-held missiles will never not make me roll my eyes
>>11611207What, you don't equip your bots with translucent NERF batons?
>>11611207See how you feel about it after being smacked over the head by a Plasma Ultra-rocket
>>11611207>>11611215Funny thing is missile-grabbing happens at least twice in TF media. Of course, not spring-loaded toy missiles but rocket-propelled exploding ones.
>>11611225The holding missile thing gets too much hate anyways. Its an easy and simple way to store your extra missiles. Good for a toy to have.
>>11611234>store your extra missilesJust make better storage for them.
>>11611135honestly my biggest issue with it is I can't get my brain to accept that this robot would be able to move his feet, when his ankles are clearly just a pair of hinges, and his thighs are equally just empty girders. there's no room for motors or even wires.
Anyone here has the altmode pics of this custom? I just got a junker Predaking to replicate it.
>>11611142make those digi legs and i'd be into this.oooh or like a snake tail
>>11611263Magnetic repulsors in the ankle tilt and quantum motor servos in the knees buddy
Now ya'll done did it I've got Mega Tankor on the way
>>11611274where? there's no fuckin room, and there's no way they'd get power transferred to them.unless transformers have invented wireless power, in which case they can just partsform in-universe all they want.
>>11611287We're in the Beast Machines era man, it doesn't have to make any sense lol.
>>11611288indeed.. that's quite true. though more true of the technorganics.
>>11610965>Hes about as artoculated as a modern DeluxeEven as a fellow Blastcharge enjoyer this is a gross exaggeration considering bro only has like 11 actual points of articulation.
>>11611337I've seen core classes with more articulation desu
>>11611337Hush now and behold the ankle tilt >>11611135
>>11611345if blast charge is so articulated, then can he do...1: mid-transformation2: high kick no flightstand3: superhero landing
>>11611348His articulation is so good in fact that he need not bother himself with such ridiculous poses
>>11611066>>11611133>>11611135Kind of a shame that Hasbro seems to hate Beast Machines (the only new toy it's gotten is the Core Class Cheetor). Would love to have some modern Vehicons.
>>11611393everybody hates beast machines. Some people just like the vehicons.
>>11611393I think some of the BM designs need another chance. The toy designs were, I think, better than the show for the most part. I do wish Primal looked more like an Optimus and thag Megatron wasn't either a robed cuck or the dragon again. I can sort of understand Hasbros coldness to the era though. Bit I'd take a new BM toy over a literal half assed optimus 3 pack.
>>11611393Same, I really think the cyberpunky designs were quite cool, even if some of the show models were terrifying. Still love Blackarachnia's spider mode, that was real cool.As usual, autists will continue to hate anything that isn't exactly like what they grew up with though.
>>11611393I would welcome a new toy of Primal. It was his best design, he was finally his own character and not just We Have G1 Optimus At Home.
>>11611403I respect the perspective but I wished his robot mode looked.more like the character we had grown attached to in BW. Regardless I'd go ape for a new BM Primal
>>11611403i liked how bulky the gorilla mode was, with such a big, heavy head and big forearms, but that's where the positives end and I mean to the extreme.
>>11611398Weird that Hasbro hasn't done a Beast Machines Megatron from the Leader TM2 Legacy mold. All they'd need to do is remold the head and the dragon wings.I think a major problem of doing modern Beast Machines are the Maximals designs and how they 'transformed' in the show Sure Primal and Cheetor have been done, but they were relatively easy compared to the rest of the cast like Blackarachnia, Silverbolt, Nightscream and Botanica (Botanica is probably the worst, a plant robot that transforms into another plant robot. What were they thinking with that design?).
>>11611414Shit BM Megatron could even be done with an upgrade kit, easily, come to think of it. If they did it zi'd buy one. I think they could handle the fest of the transformations, we've been seeing some neat techniqhes and improved engineering lately. Plus, now no lomger need to include the gimmicks- though I find these days I am kind of missing them.
>>11611414>what were they thinking?apparently of the Flatwoods Monster, which tells you where their heads were>>11611418Honestly were we even meant to see any changes from BW? I thought in-universe he was the same, like when everybody in Batman changed design.
>>11611418I think that they could do complete reimaginings of the BM guys, where the beast modes look like decent stylized beasts, and the robot modes at least slightly resemble the showbut A) why would you want that, since the show was hideous, and B) they'd have to be significantly more expensive than anyone else in their size class due to all the tiny pieces and panels and shit.
>>11611447Beast Wars was hideous but you never hear this sort of tired old meme complaint about that.
Can someone do me a favor and take a picture of Studio Series Sentinel Prime on any version of the Starscream Throne? I want to see if he can be posed well on there before I buy one.
>>11610949I suppose in the Armada-verse, maybe Unicron killed and consumed Micronus, allowing him to create his own minicons.
>>11611461Micronus doesn't exist in the Armada universe you fucking moron
>>11610949It's kind of funny how the Minicon super weapons are essentially Unicron made knock-offs of the Thirteen's legendary weapons.
>>11611505Is any of the primes using Skyboom Shield?
>>11611505UT was made first, so maybe the Micron weapons were the originals and 13's artifacts are the knockoffs. That's a fun angle.
>>11611459Beast wars did not have ACTIVELY ugly designs like thisAt worst it had transmutate and the cavemen
Beast Machines discourse dominating TFG. We are so back!
>>11611445>I thought in-universe he was the same, like when everybody in Batman changed design.He was supposed to be the same - except the repeated attempts at purging his alt mode left his dragon mode looking a little...flayed in places.
>>11611567Reminds me, did they ever explain how the main crew when from being transmetals and optimal optimus back to being full munkey?
>>11611569Megatron's Stasis-Lock virus. Anyone who wasn't Transmetal/Transmetal 2 got paralyzed, while anyone who was just lost their Transmetal forms and got stuck in Beast Mode.Weirdly, despite being partially Transmetal, Silverbolt got paralyzed...but I'm assuming that was a continuity error, given BM was made by a whole different team from BW and they likely weren't paying attention to the fact that Fuzors exhibited Transmetal qualities.
>>11611569>It's a virus. I ain't gotta explain shit.
>>11611570>Weirdly, despite being partially Transmetal, SilverboltThat was never a thing. The fuzors aren't affected by energon radiation because after the Planet Buster exploded most of the raw Energon on Earth was destroyed and the rest stabilized, with only some unstable Energon remaining. Anything else pointing at the Fuzors being transmetals are just inconsistencies.
Her show model was hideous, but I actually liked Blackarachnia's BM toy - particularly with Crystal Widow's color scheme. She has a simple yet effective transformation, and you can give her a cool Drider mode by leaving her legs split.I was also a fan of a lot of the non-show Maximal designs - I've mentioned before, but Buzz Saw. Battle unicorn, Gekkobot, and Night Viper are all awesome designs. So is BM Snarl, though his Universe colors look better on him than his original ones.
>>11611570I never really thought of the Fuzors as Transmetals as none of them exhibited mechanical aspects in Beast Mode.
>>11611587it's like furries vs trannies, similar but different
>>11611574Yeah I think the toy designs were mostly better, especially with the Vehicons whom I'm admittedly more fond of. I like my alt modes and robot modes being distinct, and I never enjoyed show Tankor's head being his turret or Thrust's head being the same in both modes. Thus Mega Tankor being superior.Also a funny note I found on the tfwiki when looking up BM Toys:"For a long time, it had been sequential, so there was Beast Wars, and then Beast Machines came along—that wasn't performing as well, it was a little more... odd vehicle forms, or even beast forms. Beast Wars was great, you could tell what things were, even when they were hybrid or Fuzors, you could kind of tell what they were. If you look at Beast Machines, it's kind of like 'a truck thing' or 'a flying thing' or- so that alienated a certain amount of audience, so sales were going down. It got a little dark in the storyline at that same time. They were developing Transtech, but that was very short-lived. [...] That would have been the successor but because it was going down this dark road of Beast Machines and that wasn't working, obviously the sequel to that wasn't going to happen."Boy, its a good thing we don't have to deal with our transformers turning into 'truck things' or 'flying things' anymore!
>>11611591>furries vs tranniesHow are those two things even remotely similar? One likes animal people, the other wants to hack their own dick off and make everyone around them play along with their delusions.
I snagged Blokees Arcee at Hobbycraft yesterday. She's pretty cool for a kit that costs less than a deluxe! The light up feature works pretty nicely, she's very simple to build and looks great straight out the box with basic cleanup. Even the metallic red plastic looks really nice for what it is.My only real issues are:>I kinda wish she had more than just a swivel at the torso>The balljoints like to pop apart easily>The elbow range sucks, though that will be very easy to improvePlanning on painting her in G1 colours, which should be simple as colour breakup on the kit is great. Gonna try out these Gaahleri Kaleido paints I got in recently for the pink and white, if they're anything like their varnish they should be great. Torn between using the aluminium from the same range over the dark metal or using Alclad aluminium instead; the latter will probably look better I'd imagine?
>>11611617She even has some slight cheeks, which is fun.
>>11611617That thing transform at all? Because I like the look of the bot mode most out of all the modern Arcees we've gotten at that size.
>>11611621Sadly not, just a robot mode. Licensed third parties aren't generally allowed to make transforming figures of Transformers characters unless they turn into a novelty item (like the Sentinel Optimus Prime pen). IIRC Blokees even got their Devastator frame cockblocked in the US for fear it'd undercut SS Devastator despite only "transforming" in the loosest sense. I will say it's well worth the price of admission though; I paid £18 for mine.
>>11611536BM Rattrap looks like Quark to me
>>11611542At least people are talking about Beast Machines. Can't say the same for Energon/Superlink that barely gets mentioned or have anything worthwhile to discuss.
>>11611536I didn't want to watch this crap when it was new, I certainly don't care for it now.
>>11611635Superlink IIRC is a mediocre anime with some cool concepts and ideas that mostly suffered from having a writer who specialized in shorter series being forced to work out of his comfort zone, along with being an early CGI-heavy anime and as a result looking a bit shit (though the 2D animated parts were godly). The dub (Energon) is an absolute trainwreck, I can only assume due to being rushed to hell and back like Armada was.I will say I do find it semi-amusing that the wiki writes a whole damn screed on how terrible Energon was (primarily focusing on Energon itself rather than the original Superlink version) yet glosses over the many, many, many failings of IDW 2.0 or other similarly dreadful/panned series that they happen to like.
You could save yourself like 50 bucks and just get the normal release, a toyhax set, and a gundam marker
>>11611536Yeah it did, that was the point. 90s grossout was in, and the character designs reflected that. The fad was over by time they got to Beast Machines.
>>11611656I think the difference was BW was cool ugly whilst BM was just straight up ugly. Also the overall vibe of the series was very different- it worked for BW, not so much for BM.
>>11611648Good luck trying to transform that without peeling stickers or erasing the Gundam marker.But the mold is shit so why would anyone care that much about it to even buy rip off stickers.
>>11611642Compalaints about Beast Machines, Dreamwave and Energon are because those are back from early on. Generally mostly negative articles are less common in the things from 2010s or later. Only the Combiner Wars cartoon one really gets hit with it.
>>11611648For the price of the deluxe+all that, why not just get an OP thats good in the first place?
>>11611648>SS86 Prime if it was good
>>11611700>Devastation Prime>Better in any way, shape or form than SS86 PrimeEven the lower price can't be considered a good thing given how shitty the mold is, plenty of better deluxes to buy.
>>11611720I was mostly joking, however>Non-fake grillStill kinda surprised it's the only one to do that.
>>11611721The grill thing is nice but the end result is pretty awkward with that gap on top and it sitting lower than the red sides of the waist.
>>11611662Reverse that and you might be right.
>it’s another beast machines thread Im convinced this is one person holding s conversation with themselves. Its the same person who banned posting photos of your toys
>>11611730Hey man ain't me, I posted my Blastcharge and I'd much rather people post their toys than talk about 'muh accuracy'
>>11611730>people are talking about the thing I don't like again!>it must actually be a samefag!This schizo delusion is popping up with more frequency on every board, in every general.Non-general rolling threads have the opposite problem of random Anons borderline doxxing themselves for no reason.
>>11611756Ok I guess all 5 fans of Beast Machines globally found eachother here. Its actually a miracle
>>11611824The show wasn't bad and the toys were good, plus you're in the autism containment general
>>11611536Thank you!>>11611634The handsomest ferengi. not that that's saying much.>>11611656grossout is the opposite of ugly.
>>11611567oh there you go, the wings aren't even different. i could have sworn they were and they formed a cape.
>>11611570That, or it just wasn't enough>>11611573they're a LITTLE transmetal-y. They have vok stuff in em, but it hasn't penetrated their superstructures.>>11611569The real question is why Optimus, who is not even his original body, somehow became his original model again except colored wrong. Buuuut the thing about transmetalization is.. you apparently keep your altmode or at least get a mutated version of it (t-rex to dragon, cheetah to smilodon), so it's logical that the reverse process would also be true. Despite never once having any fur on him in this body, Optimus still has gorilla DNA scan data in him.
>>11611574oh yeah totally, the toy ruled.>>11611593this is what UT did to me. they are all just kinda blocky whatever vehicles.>>11611611So there is a small connection, a tiny splinter of furries invented this 'otherkin' thing where you "really are, deep down" a particular animal. it's part of your identity. and that shit led directly to modern trannyism (after they quietly stamped it down to make room, because they knew that would make them look ridiculous)
>>11611634>>11611839oh wait, BM Rattrap. Naw I don't see it,
>>11611832>The show wasn't bad and the toys were goodThis revisionism has to be studied
>>11611648gooood lorrrd this looks stupid.>>11611848The show wasn't an ABOMINATION on its own, it was just a deliberately terrible BW sequel. and ugly, but ugly was the trend in cgi at the time. ReBoot was out, Action Man and Max Steel were in. ugly ugly ugly, blue eyes everywhere you look.
>>11611848All of the basics had about as much articulation as their BW counterparts, sometimes more; Mirage had a waist swivel and pseudo-ankle tilts. All the deluxe+ Vehicons have good detailing and all have launching missiles, Deluxe+ Maximals are less cool but still get good articulation. I'm now prepared for to whinge like a faggot about chrome and translucent plastic.>>11611850Action Man was uglier to me.
primus forgive me but beast machines is the potential man of transformers shows"It had great concepts""The toys had neat ideas!""The vehicon generals were cool"0 plot threads continued well0 notable episodes7 fugly maximals
>>11611848Who would have guessed a 7/10 would be criticized when surrounded by 10/10s and praised now that 2/10 is the norm?
>>11611853different kinds of ugly, but yeah
>>11611855remember when they thought we would like this face, so they gave him a hair-swoop to make him a heartthrob?yeah, girls fuckin love post-surgery michael jackson...
>>11611855>0 notable episodesThe fruit episode was one of the unintentional comedy eps of in the whole franchise>>11611861He was going to be a girl at firstThe they added the hair as a John Connor reference
>>11611861Lmao he has 2 noses
>>11611853That translucent plastic on those old toys never failed me. The vac metal paint was awesome at the time too, unfortunately the years had not been kind. But I'll take chipped paint over GPS I guess
