Thoughts on Transformers 10? Predictions? Hopes?
>>11613916>Thoughts on Transformers 10? Can't be assed to care anymore>Predictions?Too much focus on human characters with secondary focus on Optimus and whoever has the Bumblebee role this time. Everybody else will have one sentence's worth of characterization and do nothing interesting. Lots of toys that won't sell and will clog up store shelves for years. >Hopes?That this'll be the last one.
>>11613916>>HopesCoherent editing and script. Not over stuffed with plot lines that should be allowed to breath. No world ending threat again.>>PredictionsOverly long with with very loose script that's more or less the same as it's always been. Explosions are big and the movie comes in on budget.
>>11613921>Coherent editing and script.
>>11613916I hope it bombs and the CEO that thought it was a good idea to bring back Bay because "well it worked before" gets shot.
>>11613916>PredictionsIt'll be a total reboot of live action that ignores everything before it and we get a back-to-basics "TRANSFORMERS HAVE ARRIVED ON EARTH AND ARE FIGHTING OVER A THING">HopesBig fat fembot titties in a kibble bikini bouncing in my face like devastator's balls.

i liked the first five. I wanna see michael bay handle beastformers. just ignore the shitty other one.
>>11613941A continuation to 5, where they teased Unicron and Quintessa survived.
>>11613947did she actually? or are you saying let's retcon the ending
>>11613948Rewatch the movie
>>11613949eh, someday. when i have the time to really watch and enjoy the spectacle. I did enjoy those movies.>>11613951i just, i thought 4 set up quintessa, then 5 was like "meh" and did a plot about dragons and shit. that's how I remember it, 4 had a TON of flaws, some of the WORST human parts, yet it actually built up to an intriguing plot for the first time. then 5 shat all over the story, but somehow gave us the best human parts of the entire pentalogy.
>>11613916I don't think Bay is capable of producing a hit blockbuster movie in current year, his style of film-making has become old hat after the MCU, Star Wars and other such movies ran the CGI slapfest concept to the ground. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, though.>>11613918>Too much focus on human characters with secondary focus on Optimus and whoever has the Bumblebee role this time.Lorenzo already admitted they have to focus on humans and their drama in these movies because they don't have the budget to have the big CGI characters on-screen at all times.
>>11613948>did she actually?Yep. She took on a human form and was talking about waking up Unicron in the post-credits stinger.
>>11613967huh, totally missed that. could have been cool. though obviously unicron can't actually be woken up or the series is over, so the best I could see is like, she begins to partially revive him and a bunch of his drones appear out of the ground, a la Prime. and the world experiences earthquakes and storms, but that's it.

>>11613996>predictionsit's gonna be shit>hopesThe character designs aren't complete dogshit
>>11613916Predictions?- i'd like to think some writer actually takes notes on what worked on previous movies and the very few seconds of giant robots would be midly entertaining- 60 minutes of human doing stuff- another Mcguffing plot- something happened on earth on the past, but nobody new till this movie- robots doing one or two terrible jokes>Hopes?- just make good toys about it, at this point is the only point I genuinely, but also:- stupid but higly entertaing and re-watchable- humans actively joining the fight in mech suits or whatever-at least one combiner- make every robot action scene epic- a solid ending
>>11614003if you're GONNA have humans participating, I'm super okay with mech suits. Ideally just one, suggesting it's really hard to make something like that.

Seems the rest of us scum now have the privilege of giving hasbro money for nemesis prime.Is it moving, are people bothering?
/toy/?
>Cryotek and OP 2-pack Fucking finally. Curious to see what toy Primal is made from now.
>>11614020We've already debunked that list as hokumAnything correct on there is an extremely lucky guess
>>11614021Figures, but shame about the no Cryotek.
>>11614022What's a Cryotek?
>>11613907chances of a Botanica remold?
>>11614030sick blue repaint of TM2 megatron. a classic of the old days. IIRC he actually got his pilot figure intact.
>>11613916>PredictionsBay lets his actor friends riff for an annoying amount of time while every transformer says a stupid sociopath line in the background with no one reacting. And it still looks worse than the 2007 movie.>HopesCute female autobot part of Optimus's crew that doesn't die and no Mark Wahlberg.
>>11614047>IIRC he actually got his pilot figure intact.only in the Japanese release, which is kinda weird that they bothered making a separate run like that
>>11614066makes you wonder, was it on the sprue? or did they have some left over from.. was this before or after takara merged with tomy? had to be before..
>tfw when you want Masterpiece Rattrap, but don't want to fall down the rabbit hole of collecting BW MPs
>>11614030>What's a Cryotek?He was a Cybertronian mob boss who had previously worked under Deathsaurus before breaking off and forming his own criminal empire. The Predacons who would later become Megatron, Terrorsaur, Waspinator, and Scorponok all originally worked for him, but when Cryotek planned a heist to steal the Golden Disk on a tip that it contained a message from G1 Megatron etched into it, BW Megs betrayed him and stole it for himself, hiring Dinobot as extra muscle and Tarantulas to decode the message for him instead before stealing a Transwarp-capable ship. As Megatron set off for primitive Earth, setting off the opening scene of the Beast Wars cartoon, Cryotek was arrested and dragged off to a high-security prison, which he later escaped from when Megatron came back and conquered Cybertron. The 3H comics elaborate on his fate further - Megatron initially came to him to help him remove his dragon Beast Mode, but Cryotek planned on stealing it for himself so he could use its power to conquer Cybertron instead; while he succeeded in giving himself the Beast Mode, he failed to remove it completely from Megatron (who just regenerated it, the same way he kept doing in BM), and ended up putting himself into a coma. When he woke up, Megatron had stolen his research for making a Stasis-Lock Virus and had used it to take over the planet already.Then he runs off to New Quintessa, does a bunch of evil shit, and eventually gets defeated (but not killed) by Sentinel Maximus.>>11614073>was it on the sprue?It was on the original TM2 Megatron sprues. While it was decided to remove the pilot from all of the Megatron releases and the Western release for Cryotek, the Takara release didn't bother and just left it as-is.
>>11614082>rabbit hole of collecting BW MPsThere's like 10
>>11613907bros...i love Patriot Prime channel so much...

Anons how many combiners were 100% confirmed?I mean the ones after Bruticus.
>>11614113I assume they'll do all the toon ones
>>11614113No, but their comments imply they haven't started any animal teams, so the next one could be computron or defensor.
>>11614116and by all I mean the ones in the english side
>>11614113All mentioned for now - Defensor, Armada Optimus with his pants (yes, they are combiners), Predaking, Computron. Some in frame form and some in normal form.
>>11614017I feel like a bit of a fool ordering him because of the price but at least I know he's a nice toy. The face needs a bit of paint though. Hopefully it's like the regular Armada Prime where it's just a screw on the back to take the head apart.
>>11614091>Complains about bayformers looking "ugly as sin">Posts one of the ugliest G1 designs looking more ugly than usualTooners, I swear.
>slowly loose interest in hobby>gets less and less productsAm I getting old?

>>11614148>charming vintage robot, interesting character and part of a charismatic teamWhere? None of the Constructicons had any character in G1 at all.>ugly tryhard garbage with literally nothing as a character that dies in 1 second because nobody gives a fuck about themYou didn't watch the movie.
>>11614148Thanks to Bay we had proper distribution world wide. And designs were fun.
>>11614150>None of the Constructicons had any character in G1 at all.LMAO, if it's one thing that G1 did well, it's the voice acting
>>11614153It was OK.
>>11614154please
>>11614150>Where? None of the Constructicons had any character in G1 at all.zoomoid tardLiterally everybody remembers how one constructicon hates to carry stuff around because he feels being used.The other is the smartest and a leaderthe other one likes to mix thingsfuck off zoomer>bayformer's character: UGHH...RRR.R...BZZZZZZZZZZZROOORRR.... >(dies)
>>11614156>Literally everybody remembers how one constructicon hates to carry stuff around because he feels being used.One line, anon. One line.>The other is the smartest and a leader>the other one likes to mix thingsWow, peak writing.>bayformer's character: >UGHH...RRR.R...BZZZZZZZZZZZROOORRR....>(dies)And yet they were still more memorable and interesting than the G1 guys. Mostly by virtue of actually being cool to look at rather than cardboard box men.
>>11614156>>11614157
>>11614036Yo I hadnt thought of that.... it could be done
This is brilliantAll suitcases should be graded by how many constructicons fit inside
>>11614150>None of the Constructicons had any character in G1 at all>You didn't watch
>>11613916As far as toys go we'll never have a stretch like 2006-2011 again. Studio Series is often a downgrade. As far as the film itself goes who the fuck knows? I don't think it will do 2007 numbers either, but I could easily see it outperforming the last several movies if Paramount plays it right and Bay comes at it with more spirit.
>>11613916>ThoughtsVery happy. Good to see the saviour of the franchise back in charge after EarthSpark and excessive G1 pandering ran it into the ground.>PredictionsTooners and trooners will seethe. BayGODS will be in for a good time.>HopesThe toys are good.
>>11614181>Asia Exclusive Studio Series Devastator Gift Sets>Limited to 1000 units, priced 1402 Yuan ($196.9 USD). A special “Devastator deco” trolley case with a Decepticon insignia. You can carry all SS Contructicons in their boxes with it.I take it they have to travel a lot in China? Seems like such a strange "gift set"
>>11614181>>11614200Yes, they have to. I had teacher from China and she really travels a lot. Shame that this type of suitcase sucks since airport workers throw them Bayformer Optimus style so plastic ones will crack sooner than later.
>>11614181im that guy who just bought Scraphook.i would REALLY buy this - i dont mind having 2 scraphooks and Bonecrushers (you can sell them at least)that luggage is awesome - i would use it till i die!!!
>>11614154better than Bayslop>garbled gibberish (dies two minutes later)
>>11614247>appears in one episode >Gets replaced by new toy right after
Oh I get it. They're called Tooners because they prefer robot designs with TWO legs.
>>11614140>>11614264Really pushing your made-up buzzword hard today, aren't you?
>>11614264Robots ≠ humanoid
Man I really enjoyed SSSS.Gridman. I wonder how awesome that will be if Trigger gets to create a new Transformers series.
>>11613916>Thoughts on Transformers 10?I hope they just don't.
>>11613907Transparent plastic syndrome incoming
>>11614274He's been doing it for years, I think this is his real hobby: being a fag on the internet.
>>11614274>If I pretend it's made-up it'll go away!OK tooner. Reminder: You lost.
>>11614309I grew up with Beast Wars, bro - I don't give a shit about G1. I just find your insistence on trying to create a meme to be annoying - you sound like a 12-year-old repeating that over and over.
>>11614288Something fans been wanting
>>11614312You are delusional of you think there is one tooner guy. Its a thing, its been a thing for years, and yes BW fans- fans of every show- can be tooners. Meanwhile Toy Accuracy chads reign supreme.
>>11614317>Meanwhile Toy Accuracy chads reign supreme.If that was true Hasbro would be catering to you.
>>11614317In before you reply to yourself and say that's not what tooner means and that you invented the word
>>11614319Turns out mass appeal products are rarely based
>>11614319Hasbro doesn't cater to us because Hasbro is run by tooners. There's a reason their CEO is named Chris Cocks and has been running the company into the ground lately. Hasbro is not doing well financially; hopefully Michael Baysed saves the franchise again.
>>11614181Damn, bro got two of em! I want that shit
>>11614181>take a standard lime green suitcase you can buy >slap a $5 emblem pin on it >not even any purple highlights on the caseNot to be so hard on it but for how limited it is I would have expected a bit more love put into it. As it stands you could make your own, more so with all the custom suit case shops and sites. I'm sure it'll sell at with such a low number. >>11614207They make metal style cases in the color with custom work. Mind you it's going to be a $300 investment to get that sort of case.
>>11614356I agree - they really should have added some purple highlights to it. Aside for the Decepticon logo on the front, it's literally just a generic suitcase.
>>11614262Are you talking about the cartoon Constructicons? Because you couldn't be more wrong.
>>11614319A pig which eats any slop pit before it is not in any way superior to those posessing a degree of discernment
>>11614333Right now Bay wpuld just be buying the franchise time. The franchise at the moment is being strangled by Hasbro, which in itself is being crushed under the weight of slop its been made produced under Disney license.Not to say Hasbro is innocent, but they are certainly seeing poor sales of their newest Ollie's Exclusive marvel and star wars toys.
Lmao fuck bayniggers
>$30 charged to PayPal from Hasbro>no notification a pre-order was clearing>doesn't say what it is on either the transaction or PulseIt's like a gatcha of all my impulse purchases.
Extremely fucked up the new armada nemesis prime goes for the same price of the old one
>>11614399And the same price as the MP sized 3P with the trailer
>>11614392I think it could be done very easily, and I hope hasbro tries it at least. I'd love a faithful Pretender. I'd also take.more Action Masters being redone as real Transformers.
>>11614371Season 2 is literally just combiner of the week
>>11614288Most people want new anime and with Wild King being hit sales wise I think we can get new anime.>>11614293Even worse with current clear plastic.
>>11614409Yes zoomie we know you didn't watch the series, no reason to keep telling us.
>>11614416Describe Nosecone, Fireflight, Dead End and Blade's contribution to the G1 story without mentioning their vehicle or combined form.
>>11614420Sell toy
>>11614420They have lovely personalities and contributed just like all the background characters in the movies :)
>>11614420Nosecone is calm and meticulous and if somewhat slow to reactFireflight is distracted easilyDead End is eternally morose and cynicalBlades didn't get to do much in the series.
>>11614088yeah but those ten collectively cost thousands of dollars.
>>11614085I assume Scorponok was already named that>Cryotek is responsible for Beast Machinesi didn't know that! tits. see this is why we need BM done over.>it was on the spruesso did hasbro toss those out or did they put a lil block in the mold gate?
>>11613916i guess my biggest hope is that its a good film that reignites some real passion in the brand. I feel a bit more confident in Bay now than i would've back in 2017 cause if he's actually serious and passionate about it, i think it'll be rather solid. Bay can be rather good when he actually wants to be (first Transformers, The Rock, Pain and Gain in particular are great), i want the Bayhem but less stupid but insanely cool if that makes sense. I'd love to see Ironhide return, i don't really care if its like a proper sequel to TLK or it continues from where ROTB left off or its just soft rebooted again. continuity is fucked anyways, just have fun with it. I really want some fresh new designs that would make for exciting toys. a movie so good it'll make me buy the entire cast. oh and Megatron is in it and he's not a jobber.
>>11614409only in the last dozen or so episodes that aired in 1986. season 2 is such a wild beast of a season cause the first dozen or so episodes are still writing with the '84 product line like they're late season 1 episodes, then the 85 product line is finally introduced out of nowhere without any explanation and for a majority of the season they are the focal point until we get to the Key to Vector Sigma episodes and then the combiners dominate the last few episodes before the movie. the show already had 16 episodes with season 1, so they greenlit 49 more episodes just to get to that sweet spot of 65 episodes for syndication cause back then that was the most lucrative thing and why almost every show or cartoon had that many episodes minimum if it wasn't a flop from the get go. would kill for another Transformers show with 65 or so episodes again. last show that did that was Rescue Bots Academy but no one watched that.
G1 Constructicons have fun personalities but meh designsROTF Construcitcons have zero personalities but cool designsI reject wars between the two camps as being both fake and gay, embracing them all in the name of Constructicon Supremacy
>>11614490Based and buildpilled. No more brother wars.Side note, I wish the Energon Constructicons had gotten an FP upgrade back in the day like Superion and Bruticus did.
>>11614461>Cryotek is responsible for Beast MachinesAnd Beast Wars - stealing the disk for G1 Megatron's message was his idea, BW Megs just mutinied and ran off with it before Cryotek could backstab him.>so did hasbro toss those out or did they put a lil block in the mold gate?Not sure. All I know is that the little 'pilot' was part of the original gimmick for him (it's known Tigerhawk was supposed to get one, too, and there's a possibility OpOp also would have included one) that was supposed to be a projection of their Sparks for some reason. The gimmick was dropped because Hasbro ultimately decided it would confuse kids into thinking they were actual pilots a la Diaclone and thus defeat the whole mythos of Transformers being sentient, autonomous robots, but the chairs and bubble cockpits remained as a holdover of the idea. Since the chairs were on all releases, the pilots that were supposed to sit in them had to have been part of the sprues somewhere, and were still included with the mold when Cryotek came around.
>>11614420Dead End had a funny voice.
>>11614420Dead End was a doomer before it was fashionableA total blackpilled trucelicon built a generation too early
>>11614392if that's what you're into
Anons help. I'm in Honolulu and I dunno where they keep the TFs.
>>11614633Maunakea. Magma chamber. Bring a snorkel.
>>11614649There's only Legacy TM2 Megatrons in there.
>>11614657
>>11614657Keep looking - you should be able to find some Scorponoks and Terrorsaurs, too.
>>11614657Hehe.
>>11613916Michael Bagel
Just got Alpha Trion today (plus some other figs) and one of his kneepads was stuck. After disassembling it, it turns out the little arm that moves it was put in backwards.
>>11614742>look at transformer's knees>find armsCybertronians are weird
>>11614742AoTP Alpha Trion? Surprised by how much I like that toy. And his alt mode too. It should be notthing, but it reminds me of a Jedi Starfighter
>>11614775Yessir.The altmode's definitely got a nice swooshable shape to it.
>>11614293You can already see fractures in that pic.
>>11613907finally, a transformer that will go well with my "I love rainforest pussy" t-shirt
is 86 hound on the cards for next year?
>>11614903I'd rather he be on shelves!
>what if buttmasters were female
>>11614649Man, volcano gods ask for the weirdest sacrifices nowadays, can't they just be happy with a virgin like in the past?
>>11614036Guaranteed that quintus is botanica pretool, then swap head, chest and hands and go for blue/yellow, possibly tweak any kibble into a more flower-y shape than the space needle thing.But it'll be a Walmart/pulse exclusive with either cheetor or BM Rattrap
>>11615071Can it still transform with bigger ears?
>>11615071First Monster Hunter crossover and now dlc kits with charge blade. Nice>>11615085yes
>>11615071Still can't believe they went with that dogshit head for the retail release.
>>11615096ill take a goofy head over the cringe aligned continuity one.
>>11615106>admitting you have shit tasteok
>>11615112grow thicker skin or shut up
>>11615071>>11615090>>11615096So how long until they make a proper CB for Rathalos Prime? Silverlos Prime should be releasing soon, so they'll definitely have an opportunity to rerelease the kit in another color.
>>11615071>>11615096Not as good as the Achai upgrades in my opinion, though it’s quite a bit more costly
>>11615121If they even do one, they didn't planned any set for standard Rathalos. I hope we could get more toys from that game.>>11615122Less can be more and it's sadly visible here.
Anybody have RiD 2001 Megabolt? Does he suffer from GPS or is it fine? The gold looks like its been painted on the alt mode face and arms, but the hands, robot mode head, and big gun look like gold plastic.
>>11615141It does, unfortunately.That plastic will shatter if you're not careful with it.
>>11615096You can't believe they went with the G1 head for the G1 version of a G1 character?
>>11615169Had I actually read the wiki from which I pulled this photo, I would have known this. But alas I am a dumbass.
>>11615171Dudes get so booty bothered by this that they spend the price of the figure itself just to give it a different head. Dumb!
>>11615096>dogshit head>still fits this mold better than this goofy Covenant head that people keep putting on it
Worth?
>>11615214He's an okay robot if you want ugly guys. Altmode is junk though.
>>11615214the hips on mine seem to alternate between yellow and green over time.
>>11615009So if she is a Jobber, how many times does she get beat up badly?
>>11615214Absolutely worth. Hes really cool. Plus if he yellows at all just give him a bit and it'll reverse.
>>11615214Worth is not dispensed here, fool. Only death!
>>11615214I got this for a similar price and I dont hate this figure but I simply never touch it. Hes just kind of boring to me. I love G2 so Im happy to have it, but thats about it. This board glazed him when he was new.
woo, got one more tigatron on clearance to repaint.. and there's like no visible yellowing, maybe a tiny bit on the nylon parts. this is gonna be great.i almost threw out the card, I forgot they had those.
>Turns out the Devastation Prime had hia gun in the mold, but they didn't include it for the regular release.Man, this shit is always annoying. It's not as bad as the Siege era, but still terrible.
>>11615214You know what, buy it just to observe the yellowing or greening. It's so weird, changes shade every season.
Stranger Things collab Freakwency and 8-Trax
>>11615349i think hasbro thought that people would use the cartoon accurate blaster from the deluxe g1 retro optimus
>>11615359
>>11615359Somehow less appealing than the first collab.
>>11615359is that a chicken gun
>>11615362
>>11615366It matches Steve’s rubber chicken in season 5
>>11615359>>11615362My first thought was this is an obvious pretool for Shredhead but the robot dosent match at all
>>11615359So is it new mold/tooling/whatever?
>>11615367What does this turn into and why does it look better than the SS86 birds?
>>11615374It's not a Shredhead pretool or SG Soundwave or any of the other stupid suggestions people have been making. They don't reuse collab molds like that, they're exclusive to the property they're licensed with.
>>11615371ah, neat(I haven't watched stranger things since season 1)>>11615374yep, I checked as well. Shreddy has doors on their shoulders.
>mpg Super Ginrai got an updated release with improvementsSucks for everyone who bought the first release.
>>11615381Didn't it start with guys forked from existing guys?
>>11615381>stupid The only thing stupid is another Stranger Things collab. I got the first one at a liquidator for $15
>>11615359>>11615362I'll buy the A-Team retool.
>>11615385Yeah, and those initial molds used belong to Hasbro. They can use they as they want. But they likely can't use the specific iterations used for these collabs.>>11615387They're both stupid, but the figure looks good so I'll allow it.>>11615388They'll be no A-Team retool.
>>11615396>Yeah, and those initial molds used belong to Hasbro. They can use they as they want. But they likely can't use the specific iterations used for these collabs.How do you know that is the case, and not just the new tooling specific to this license?
>>11615396>They'll be no A-Team retool.Exactly. And that's why Hasbro won't get my money.
>>11615407Hasbro owns the mold for Onslaught and Siege Sideswipe, which is what Ectotron and Gigawatt are retooled from. They can use Onslaught and Sideswipe however they want, for obvious reasons. They can't use the Ectotron and Gigawatt tooling because the new tooling made on the Onslaught and Sideswipe molds to create Ectotron and Gigawatt belong to those license owners. Oh, and same for the Kingdom Cheetor mold used for Kurama from Naturo, the TR molds used for the Street Fighters, the Universal Monsters and whatever else I may be forgetting.Then there's the brand new molds created for all the other Crossover figures like TMNT, Ghost Rider, Top Gun, Jurassic Park, Stranger Things, Naturo, ect. These are brand new molds created just for these licensing deals. It's very likely that they can't be used for anything other than the collabs, that's usually how these types of deals work. We never saw the Chevy Aveo mold reused for anything either and that was a good era for reusing molds just because they could.>>11615414If anything, it's better that the A-Team van gets its own mold.
>>11615415They reused the Volvo Optimus Prime.
>>11615121he has released actually, mine's on the way. my regular color one is here, i'll give you my impressions when I get around to it.and unless those improve the altmode, I'm not exactly excited for them
>>11615359Stranger Things again?General Lee TF, then I wake.
>>11615292That's Straxus, not Jhiaxus
>>11615427Bugger, you're right. My boomer brain is failing me.
>>11615419It was used as a Hasbro release for a Holiday Prime first, no collab deal locking it to Volvo. And VNR Prime isn't a collab either.
>>11615429https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Collaborative#Volvo_Trucks_.C3.97_TransformersIf it isn't a collab, why is it on the collab page?
>>11615359Pinned wheels. No obvious hollows or gaps. Voyager-ish size, judging by the fists. Great alt mode and cool robot mode with what appears to be cassette storage. This thing is gonna cost $80 isn't it?
>>11615230u wot>>11615359>>11615362ah yes, the iconic WSQK van from Stranger Things.. can't tell you how many custom jobs I've seen of that, why it's up there with the dang Batmobile.
>>11615379a gun that replaces any object with the nearest chicken>inator!sorry, an inator that replaces any object with the nearest chicken.
>>11615431Why is it listed on a fan wiki page? I dunno man, why isn't it listed on the packaging of the figure?
>>11615415there's been two dinos so far and one is clearly something they fully own, the other.. I really would like if they recolored him. maybe retool to change the frill part if they're that concerned about rights, but lots of people have frilled dilophos now.
>>11615434Batmobile probably has issues over a different company having Batman rights now. Applying Beast Wars design logic to the Batmobile might have been funny though.
>>11615438Jurassic Park invented dinosaurs.
>>11615441Yes, that IS the plot! :)
>>11615131>Less can be more and it's sadly visible here.lol, ok
>>11615439I hope you understood my post and are just posting about the batmobile because that would be coolbecause that would indeed be cool
>>11615468The head is great, it really elevates the figure. I love it. The rest is just too busy though. Practically turns him into one of those overdesigned Chinese model kits.
>>11615497Gonna have to disagree there buddy, but you do you
>>11615387The new season is about to come out with all the hype. And this is only the 2nd one.
>>11615497i like those and they have their place, it's just.. yeah that is the FULLEST extnet my brain can keep track of.
>>11615497How come they don't make Transformers that look like this?
>>11615542because transformers fans have brain damage
>>11615542Have you tried holding one of them? I don't want to need to wear gloves when I want to transform one.
>>11615542because it looks like dogshit
>>11615551What do you feed a dog to make it shit white and teal?
>>11615551>me need baby rescue bots designretard
Okay, Liolaeus Prime.MAN they tied this guy down in the box. my nippers can't seem to cut these either though. Reminding me of Marahute.The irony of the beast mode is that the main thing making it not look good are the beefy chest and pauldrons that attempt to bulk out Airazor's tiny frame. They really could have folded those away somehow or partsformed them for a longer tail. The thigh armor partsforms after allThe fact that the matrix plugs into the back of the beast mode's craw, rather than the robot mode chest, amuses me.. why did they bother?pretty surprised the hip skirts don't plug in, but it's fine.The Japanese instructions are surprisingly low-IQ-proof. They carefully tell you to raise the arm before putting the weapon in the hand..Overall he's good, but not worth the price
>>11615542
>>11615614The one on the right is just silly
>>11615614lookin pretty rad
>>11615614I had this figure and it is one of the sickest looking transformers ever..unfortunately the materials suck ass and it broke in multiple places
>>11615668Which brand, there's multiple KOs
>>11615668aw mani got a 3P once that felt like it was made of fucking styrofoam, but it hasn't broken yet and I'm not pushin it.
>>11615555>The fact that the matrix plugs into the back of the beast mode's craw, rather than the robot mode chest, amuses me.. why did they bother?Because the "Matrix" is a Rathalos Ruby, a specific, rare material you carve out of a Rathalos once you kill it. Rath Rubies (and all other monster "gems") are similar in nature to an oyster pearl, and form inside the body, usually around the torso cavity rather than inside the chest. Rath Prime's is stored in roughly the correct area.
>>11615359Made for tooners like me
>>11615711>tooner
>>11615542an excess of good taste and a lack of exposure to gachaslop>>11615551They hated him because he told the truth
>>11615708oh cute. I always assumed the gems were meant to represent things like the dracontia, and were just not always visible on the model. but okay, an internal gem makes sense.just saying maybe you could have spent 10 more cents and put a chest door in too, or saved a buck and left out the matrix.
>>11615708>even in TF general, Slop Hunter zooms
it's hilarious how the wings have to be so stubby and wide so they can wrap around to be a skirt. the original skirt was like, rotated-y wing webbing, not the entire wing's width
>>11615379An 8-Track cassette
Mixmaster and Scavenger arrive tomorrow to complete Devy. What am I in for, /tfg/?
>>11615738A lot of fun
>>11615734okay, that's cute
>>11615720Try that sentence in English, please - your buzzwords are incomprehensible.
>>11615379During the Titans Return/Headmaster revival, all of the cassette bots and cons got changed into tablets and cell phones, including the birds. The bird cons were widely reviled at the time BTW
>>11615359Cos the first sold so well? Though, isn't that the same model as the A-Team van? Maybe it'll go down well with customisers.
>>11614460dude what?
>>11615734We need a line of retro stuff Transformers.I still want a Mainframe that turns into one of these bad boys.
>>11615734
>>11615367>completely new(?) bird designSurely they'll re-use it, right?
>>11615992We really need a new one of him to go with her.
>>11615670I had the original first run of the legit PE. They did a second run that supposedly fixed a lot of stuff
>>11615715t. tooner.
>>11615989the world needs Jimmie Walker, now more than ever.
>>11616027That's Squawktalk, not Garboil
>>11616051A boomer tooner no less
>>11615614That's probably one of the most infamous "breaks if you look at it too hard" 3Ps ever released
My Mega Tankor finally arrived today. Awesome toy, another one which wouldnt take too much work to update. I really love this design and deco for Tankor, but I also like the mpre show accurate design. I'm probably gonna have to grab the other Tankor as well.I've got more Beast Machines toys coming too, Scavenger and a Lot containing a BM Megatron (the dragon one) and Beast Changer/Savage Noble and 2 junkbots. Got it for a great price too seeing as the Beast changer is complete, and a complete one goes for $50 and up alone.
>>11616076why do you keep gluing your BMs to the wall, mang.
>>11615992I thought it was a retool of the Titans Return bird mold it's so awkward.
>>11616051>>11616064Guys I'm the tooner not him, and they posted another picture of the toy. He can Soundwave it up.
>>11616114Oh thats really cool
Wasn't sure about buying the Thirteen at first because I never cared much about the whole concept, but I must admit they look pretty damn cool together as a group.
>>11616123Also last month purchases.
>>11616123So Nexus Prime and Liege Maximo come out later next year with repainted Vector Prime?
>>11616125Forgot pic.>>11616126I wish they actually made a new Vector Prime mold, but I know that's just wishful thinking.
>>11616114that's one thick ass 8-track
>>11616114Pimpmobile Jazz when?
>>11616114Fuuuck I might get him now
>>11616114With the bird being so huge, I hope it also had a weapon mode.
>>11616154It does
Nemesis arived, sadly no new super mode head
>>11616114OK Hasbro, I'm listening.
