>>11640700These look the exact fucking same, and if you think they are different you have autism
>>11640702nigga needs an optician
>>11640700>The virgin Earthrise vs the Chad Studio Series
>>11640711>>11640700THE NEW ONENEW = BETTERNEW! FOMO!!!BUY BUY BUY!!! IT'S A NEW VERSION!BUY!!!! NEW HAT!!!
>>11640702>These look the exact fucking same, and if you think they are different you have autismthe one on the left looks better. How you can't fucking see it1) more details and looks cool2) buff and chunky3) the right one looks simplistic and cheap. Look at those skinny-ass legs cut in half that adds extra cheap factor
>>11640717Left looks kinda uglyRight looks like the cartoon
>>11640720>LIKE MUH CARTOON I SAW AS A KID WHEN I WAS A KID BACK THEN :( WHEN I USED TO WATCH IT WITH MY DAD :(fuckyou are one of those
>anon lashing out because nobody will want to buy his Earthrise Seekers now
>>11640725>NEW THING!!!>WE GOT NEW THING!!! HAHAHA ALL OLD THINGS ARE BAD NOW!>BUY NEW!!!brainrot boomer is happy new toy was released
>>11640700Yeah, I'll pass - I have no desire to rebuy all my Seekers, especially when the 'upgrade' looks so cheap. Literally the only way Hasbro's gonna get me to touch that mold is if they do a Sunstorm release - which they won't, because they hate Sunstorm for some reason - so that's money saved.
It's funny to see /tfg immediately do a 180 on the hated Earthrise Seeker mold the second a new version comes out. The contrarian 'MUST HATE NEW THING' mind virus is a heck of a thing.
>>11640737Remember the shitposter's motto: show accuracy is bad when it's G1 and only G1.
>>11640737To be fair, I never had an issue with either the Earthrise nor the Siege molds - in fact, they're the only versions of the Seekers that I bothered to nab every iteration of. My only complaint was that they put SG Starscream on the Siege one, only to come out with his proper body not long after and do nothing with it.
>>11640700I'm glad I never bought the earthrise seekers because they always looked like garbage to me. Well...okay I did buy Cloudcover because the scheme was really neat. Now I can buy the seekers that actually look good to me and not have buyers remorse.
>>11640737BUT IT'S NEW!!!NEW = BETTERewwww i suddenly hate the old version now. it sucks! new must buy!!!
>>11640744>ewwww i suddenly hate the old version now. it sucks! new must buy!!!Dude, people here have been shitting on the Earthrise mold ever since it was shown to be a lazy upscale of the Classics Deluxe Seeker mold. Criticise the new Seeker mold all you like, but trying to go full historical revisionist 'the Earthrise Seeker mold was good, actually' just makes you come across as a contrarian retard.
>>11640722I didn't watch any G1 besides the movie until I was in my 30s and I still prefer the cartoon aesthetic. More detail/greeble doesn't automatically equal better, especially considering a lot of what's great about the G1 art direction is how elegantly simple it all looks.
new good
new gud
new = good
>>11640762Yeah, the original was a piece of shit.
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764Oh goddamn it, he looks awesome. I've abstained from all the Armada toys so far because I think the lack of minicons with everything but Nemesis is bullshit, but this is really making me reconsider.
>>11640762>>11640764this looks bad>>11640763>another cybertronian moto that looks just like every other one
>>11640770What were they thinking
>>11640770>>11640773this looks so stupid and i was waiting for Bruticus the mostthis is the first frameformer that looks WORSE without parts combinedwhat the fuckand why tank looks like a boot???in cartoon it didnt look this weird
>>11640702...or just working eyes. Same shade of blue and general body shape, but that's it.>>>11640711Other way around for me.
>>11640774 he looks nakedlike he forgot to wear pants
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764He looks great honestly. Kept all the original gimmicks, modern articulation, more show-accurate. Just show what he looks like with the mini-cons as his head.>>11640770>>11640773This looks embarrassing but that's nothing new for frameslop.
>>11640737>It's funny to see /tfg immediately do a 180 on the hated Earthrise Seeker mold the second a new version comes outI've always liked and defended the Earthrise seeker. I *will* be upgrading my old ER seekers, but only for new Dramatic Capture versions instead. Already have the new Starscream and have the other two pre-ordered.Don't care for the size creep on the new 86 version, the overly smoothed out look, weird proportions of that goofy face. My boy Thundercracker looks like he has a double-chin there. It might resonate with the typical fat ass TF fan but that is not what he is supposed to look like.
>>11640782>I've always liked and defended the Earthrise seeker.Well you're just a stupid person then aren't you?
>>11640778So does Onslaught
>>11640727And the zoomie baby is too poor to afford it so he lashes out.
>>11640773Bruticus looks better than I expected. I was afraid they'd lean too far into his (more boring) toon colors but honestly this is a nice mix of his toy and cartoon look.The bits of Onslaught's blue still visible in Bruticus plus the fact the chest plate is not as deep brown as Blast Off and looks half-grayed out are very nice.
>>11640783Or just someone with taste you whiny little bitch. Enjoy your new 86slop, it looks more like an Animated figure than G1.>b-but muh hip and wrist articulationIf you know how to angle-fraud and pose a figure you can work around that pretty easily, meanwhile your precious new 86 seeker can't even flex its wings.If the new design is so great, how come it was able to fix some old weaknesses while ADDING a whole new one?
>>11640789>Bruticus looks better than I expectedman you are really that simple then
>>11640791Total meltie going on, how many upscaled deluxes did you buy?
>>11640792It's so obvious it's the same whiny faggot making all these posts, like he's still in his "it's cool to be angry all the time" phase. Just sit down and shut the fuck up.Reply to me to confirm you're angry. Bonus points for any future use of "slop" within your impotent rage.
>>11640702They look different.Just not different enough to plunk down more cash and go seeker crazy all over again.
>>11640773>>11640770So Bruticus's gun will be packaged with Swindle to "justify" his Voyager pricepoint?
>>11640794>"it's cool to be angry all the time" phase. Just sit down and shut the fuck up.>JUST SHUT UP AND CONSUME THE PRODUCTman you are such a fag
>>11640736It's so strange how Sunstorm was hot shit for so many years, then left in the dust
>>11640737it's almost like there's different people with different opinions in the general. Shocking!
>>11640700I'm glad HasTak is moving away from the greeble phase
>>11640794it's almost like there's different people with different opinions in the general. Shocking!
>>11640775because Bruticus was never designed to be a frame guy. Menasor looked like frameslop on the cartoon so they go away with it, but this doesn't look accurate to any design.
>>11640774his proportions look off. His arms are too long or his legs are too short or something.
>>11640770>>11640773>>11640774>>11640786Top half of Bruticus looks great, no complaints. But the lower half just looks unfinished. His shins/egbots should be much longer and bulkier. Or at least if he had much chunkier feet, like Superion and Menasor.The more I look at Bruticus the more I like him, but honestly he still feels like upgrade kit baitOnslaught actually looks like the best combiner leader/commander yet. The robot mode doesn't have some weird hiccup, the base mode and trailer are actually useful and compatible with the smaller membersHonestly, this feels more worth it for Onslaught rather than Bruticus
>>11640762I'm just glad Sideway's Minicons aren't just Titanmasters. Because Titanmasters are just small little robots that fold into a cube like head, Sideway's Minicons on the other hand are just cubes with arms and legs attached to it. Though I'm not sure on the execution of the Mini-Cons. It doesn't seem like you can transform them in such a way that they look like gun batteries.
>>11640788I see the shills are in full force again.
>>11640762let me guess, This is a Voyager? Leader?
>>11640809Voyager.
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764Very nice. Interesting route for the minicons, the combined rider looks to drop half of each minicon when you combine them. Take a good look at Rook's feet and Crosswise's arms, they're solid parts.
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764Yeah Sideways is practically a vast improvement on the original toy. But they dropped the ball by taking the easy way out and have his original head be removable rather than pushed inside the torso and then attach one of the Minicons on top of it. So it results in his neck being higher than usual which makes him look slightly off as if he has a giraffe neck and they took away the one neat mechanical detail of Sideways. I'll buy it anyways since I love the character and love more Armada toys but I should've expected that Hasbro's current M.O is almost perfect but never there.
>>11640803There really isn't.But it's not even the opinions that give people here away, it's the writing style.
>>11640773>>11640774What a cute little guy
>>11640806>Top half of Bruticus looks great, no complaints. But the lower half just looks unfinished.100+ bucks and you still won't able to play with him normally until you will buy both legformerwhat is the point of him being a frameformer at this pointhe might as well don't have those shellformer-parts flapping as "legs"
>>11640791>it looks more like an Animated figure than G1.Oh wow, you're kinda right! Totally getting the 86 figure now, love ma Animated B)
>>11640773I don't see the issue here
>>11640811grrrrrrrr
>>11640774>>11640773Why are his arms green? I thought they're supposed to be lame gray?
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764Hell yeah, finallyTragic exposed mushroom pegs despite being a deluxe-sized voyagerMinicons are slightly compromised but they could've been a lot worseLooks good overall
>>11640818>G1>obviosly bad art because G1 animation was limited and stupid >years pass>kids turn 40 and want exact that stuff>it's bad because it's supposed to be - look there is a sketch!that art is fucking awful.
>>11640823not the same poster but I edited it to have, in my opinion, better proportions
Hope we get this redeco too
>>11640814Really isn't what?Just admit you're triggered by people not liking your precious hashit
>>11640770
>>11640773Weird that his legs look so stumpy since I assume he's the same size as Menasor and Superion.I'd need to see them side by side to figure out where the proportions differ.
this looks fucking awful, bad job
>>11640773What the actual fuck? He looks like a midget. Those legs look fucking awful
>>11640702Retard.
>>11640770>>11640773>>11640786Well then, this is an easy skip.
>>11640700Older Thundercracker was way too greebly and detailed, but the new guy has almost the inverse problem of being too UNDERdetailed. He looks really smooth and plain. I get what they're going for these days where they're trying to make things basically mini Masterpieces to try to appeal to the cartoon crowd, but these are still toys at the end of the day man.>>11640762Heyy, Sideways looks good. Always great to have more Armada done right.>>11640773Ah man, they did my boy Bruticus dirty. His legs look so stumpy. I don't know if it's a result of his upper body being too large, but proportions are off.
>>11640855The issue is that his frame doesn't have feet per se. Like compared to Superion, Bruticus' legs end at the where the ankle should be.
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764Anons please explain - are these two minicons Power of the Primes/Titans Return heads compatible?If yes then it's awesome - i need more titans return headmasters
>>11640773>>11640774He looks short.how big he is compared to Devastator?it's funny how Dev is like one of the best combiners ever made and...he's in the line with such questionable combiners.Cw combiners look like super flexible chads compared to this.But i'm still going to buy it of course. it's still a giant robot which is the best thingSo even if it kind of sucks it's still miles better than all other toys
>>11640863They made the mistake of trying to incorporate the feet into the leg cover bots. I didn't even recognize these as feet at first.
>>11640874it will make it difficult for 3rd party upgrades to make it betterbecause he already has feet.... so...i guess the only upgrade you cant 3d-print for him is some sort of a "platform". because ha has no removable feet.
>>11640762Oh, come on... It's not bad, but I expected them to make the minicon heads look as cool as the show versions, these aren't that much different from the original and they couldn't be even bothered to cover the fucking eyes in minicon mode.Still going to get him because I want to finally have a properly articulated Sideways, but I expected more.Also it look like you need to remove Rook's legs for the combined rider mode? And what's with Sideways feet? I don't know, I expected more.
>>11640876>I expectedthere's your mistake
>>11640700Glad to see that Thundercracker finally got into shape, and also free of his skin condition.
>>11640878I mean, they did a pretty good job with Red Alert, that one is way better than Starscream.
>>11640873>how big he is compared to Devastator?Like >>11640839 says, he should be the same size as Superion, so about a head shorter than Devastator.But going by the arms, which are supposed to be identical to Superion's, Bruticus looks to be even shorter than that.
>>11640885>But going by the arms, which are supposed to be identical to Superion's, Bruticus looks to be even shorter than that.i started to worry about that after seeing how tiny Vortex is...Bonecrusher is the smallest limb and he's like a beefy super chad compared to Vortex
>>11640762>Faction symbol just rotates, can't have him without a symbol when not using a head miniconMeh.
>>11640887Why are you comparing Devastator with the others? He does his own thing, all the scramble city robot arms are the same size since Menasor.
>>11640885This just needed more plastic on top of the leg bots and under the knee joint. Make some thicker green blocks there and it would immediately fix his proportions.
>>11640885>>11640887that'll be $220 dollarydoos
>>11640887what are they gonna do with Vortex? I don't like the looks of this.
I think this is the case where the designers can either take some autistic licenses or go the devastator routeOut of the G1 combiners, bruticus and devastator are the only 2 who has no proper feet.Considering people always put devastator higher in the pecking order, I guess bruticus has to suffer>I really don't think it looks that bad. It is really the wide shoulder that make the proportion looks worse than it is. But the G1 cartoon was like that too
>>11640898devastator and predaking are the only designs out of these that are actually good and worth making toys for in the first place
Bad bots, bad botsWhatcha gonna do
>>11640898I mean, they could've just done what the original toy did and thrown in some grey feet parts anyways. Anyone who wants cartoon accuracy could just leave them off. I'm sure some upgrade kit's gonna end up doing this anyways.
>>11640898wonder what kind of trailer they would give Razorclaw and Hun-Grr
>>11640887>Bonecrusher is the smallest limb and he's like a beefy super chad compared to VortexDEVASTATOR BROS WE CAN'T STOP WINNING!>>11640885>But going by the arms, which are supposed to be identical to Superion's, Bruticus looks to be even shorter than that.OH NO NO NO NO NO BRUTICUS BROS WE GOT TOO COCKY!!!
>>11640898if they going to make Abominus and we are during the current "cartoon accuracy" phase...they gonna fuck up this so badly.Cuthtroat is an agile bird-transformer and he will look beefy and stumpy "just like in cartoon concept art"...
>>11640889>Why are you comparing Devastator with the others? He does his own thingthat's why Devastator is the best combiner.He's a real Sigma.
>>11640813>taking the easy way out and have his original head be removable rather than pushed inside the torso and then attach one of the Minicons on top of it.That sucks. They added articulation but killed what made the toy interesting in the first place, the minicons also seem to partsform for their different modes and don't even hide the head mode eyes like the original, and the faction emblem gimmick is just a rotating panel now.
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764EhhhHe's VERY chunky. Weird proportions>>11640770>>11640773>>11640774This literally and unironically is bad comedy
>>11640876>they couldn't be even bothered to cover the fucking eyes in minicon modeThis part pisses me off, the originals were better toys.
>>11640925dna is gonna have a field day
>>11640925this looks retardedhe already has feet so adding such 3rd party feets will make him look stupid.
>>11640925footies make better
>>11640930that'll be $220 dollarydoosplus $50 for the upgrade set
>>11640898holy crap why does the predaking lineart look the best here
>>11640932bu-but the g1 toy>>11640907
>>11640925Combiner Wars won.
>>11640874to make it worse this is actually the whole feetthe tilt starts here
>>11640932Are you not seeing how they would fix his funky proportions?
>>11640939I'd like to get the CW Technobots and Seacons, they're the only scramble city guys I never managed to get back then. Then again, I never got a Predaking either.
>>11640938the G1 toy didn't have "feet" unless you plugged actual feet-parts...Look at it.he has Combiner Wars-like logics. legs + feet part.this new one already has leg/foot as a solid part. adding a 3rd party foot will make it a double-foot
>>11640942Predaking was fucking terrible.
>>11640943still would've been a nice homage
>>11640940Okay this is fucking ultra retardedwhat the fuck were they thinkingIs he breaking his leg in half to make a tilt?so he has no feet tilts - just a leg-tilt?the fuck is thiswho made this possible. fire him
I'm starting to think that some of you might be retarded.
This is also our first glimpse at Swindle, right?
it is just the shouldersIf they slimmed that down a little, Bruticus looks pretty much the same body shape as Devastator
>>11640912Be honest with me...how badly will they fuck up my boy Hun-Gurrr?
>>11640925Such upgrades are standart for all combiners since CW/POTP but for this Bruticus it's a terrible idea...this is the first combiner that has ultra unique legs and feet that will require a lot of work and cost to make it right if you want to make him look larger.Pray that Swindle and Brawl can be transformed into a "rectangle" without problems, so that they can be turned into a normal "leg" and not a "leg-foot", so that a 3D party foot can be added at the bottom.Here - i drew what i mean:
>>11640944I recall that he reminded me of a 90s megazord, big and blocky.
the frame arms are so fucking stupid
>>11640956Funny thing is, I don't even hate the upper torso that much. Waist down is where he falls flat
>>11640951Yup yup. And I hate the fact that he looks so out of place. I know he's mustard yellow, that's kinda his thing, but when everyone else is so dull, he looks odd. Like a pair of mismatched socks
Can Selects Monstructor save 2026?
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764This looks like absolute dogshit. All form factor and sleekness is gone, replaced by more modern hasbro stacked blocks and stubby proportions. The fact that Mirror needs to partsform is pathetic when the transformation is literally just the minions stacked on top of each other. But I suppose that's to hide the fact that Sideways himself is absolutely miniscule.The original needed elbows and knees, something that would have been extremely easy to accomplish. He looks squashed.
>>11640840>Glyph neverI give up bros
>>11640961>>11640961this could just do this and Bruticus would look much taller and better(yeah i remember it supposed to look like that in G1 where he has leg+foot part being solid one part in Brawl colors - but that's the whole problem - it's not that much of a good design to make it into an expensive Studio series...it will have some issues like weird feet)
>>11640762>>11640764I think he looks mostly good except for the feet. What the fuck is going on there? It's like they're bent sideways (hah)They really gave him basically the same exact transformation but they couldn't make the fucking feet work the same way? On a voyager budget? Really?
>>11640980It does feel like we went two steps forward, two steps back. Sideways wasn't complicated at all before. Hell, they put more engineering BS into the minicons considering how they combine now.
>>11640974It'd be nice if they ever reveal the fucker.Can't imagine what's taking so long. You're not telling me they're doing much more than a repaint.
This oddly seems better proportioned, is it just the robots becoming feet
>>11640942The CW Technobots are really weak. Strafe doesn't even have a gun.
>>11640987brawl and swindle are just too bulky and huge so he looks like he has ginormous feet and short body when you add them
>>11640986>You're not telling me they're doing much more than a repaintSupposedly they are according to leaks. At the very least, the dino modes are being retooled into monsters.
>>11640987That looks fine what the fuck
What is up with Hasbro giving TFs dumpy proportions with midget legs these days? Is it a cost cutting thing?
>>11641009>What is up with Hasbro giving TFs dumpy proportions with midget legs these days? Is it a cost cutting thing?they cucking framesloppers because those are for millenialsCombiner wars chads (mostly bought by gen-z back then) unite!
>>11640994We'll see.who the fuck knows when, though.
>>11640974>Monstructor>google monstructorlooks interestingare we going to get this guy?
>>11641012Transformer fans will really pay an extra $50 for the ugliest fucking hands in existence and say "this fixes the worst molds I ever bought"
>>11641012CW was great but fuck you are one boring faggot.
>>11641016supposedly.whether or not he even remotely looks like that is a different story
>>11641018top fucking kekat least my combiner can be actually upgraded lmao
>>11641021>whether or not he even remotely looks like that is a different storyhe looks nice in art but as a "vintage looking $200+ transformer toy" he will look terrible because of huge yellow plastic partsIn art it looks better because shading and highlights.in reality it will be just...a huge yellow $ 40 plasitc
>>11640980My only complaint with Sideways is that it looks like the Mini-Cons have to partsform in order to form the rider, which seems like a pointless change
inb4 some intern at Hasbro accidentally warped the product shot of Bruticus and he's not actually that disproportionate
>>11640956Perfect
>>11641022>my combinerSo if you actually own him, post your own pics of yours, instead of ones you ripped from elsewhere.
>>11640885>But going by the arms, which are supposed to be identical to Superion's, Bruticus looks to be even shorter than that.They're not being seen from the same camera angle in that pic though. We're looking up at Superion from a lower angle.Also, I think the stumpy legs are a visual trick. I think people are assuming the knees are the top of Swindle and Brawl, but I think the knees are the bit wear Onslaught's silver meets his blue...above the connection point for the legbots.
>>11640762I'm so used to seeing him with the Decepticon head I forgot how weird his neutral head looked.>>11640773He looks great though.
>>11640762>>11640763>>11640764>doesn't look like shit>has BOTH mini-consblessed, get me Rapid Run too>>11640770ALWAYS skip leg day>>11640773>>11640774Stumpy lol
>>11640773>>11640774He looks like a fucking toddler. Why the fuck are the proportions like that? He looks better as just the fucking frame.
>>11641039Bruticus am big kid now!
>>11641031>So if you actually own him, post your own pics of yours, instead of ones you ripped from elsewhere.dude these were going for super cheap (20 bucks in retail but 8-14 bucks on sale).literally everybody has PotP volcanicus unless a newguy
>>11641046This is my first reply in this thread so dont think Im trying to start shit but, I never understood what these were meant to add visually, they seem completely at odds with the rest of the design
>>11641055What, the horns? Probably this.https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dinobot_Crown_of_Leadership
>>11641046>literally everybody has PotP volcanicus unless a newguyI always thought the combined modes looked like a mess and the individual dino modes are pure ass, specially gold diaper Grimlock, so never cared about it.I also hate Volcanicus head. Grimlock... BUT with dumb antennae!
>>11641046I never got one, I just didn't like the idea of combining Dinobots back then. If I had a chance at them for that price today I might think differently.>>11641055Crown, him Dinoking.
>>11641056>>11641058No the shoulder things
>>11641057>>11641058>didn't like the idea of combining Dinobots back thenyou're no fungo away!
>>11641061The “beak” of the triceratops becoming the combiner's crown is a really cool concept. Feels like something out of BWNeo
>>11641061Dinobots are so strong they don't need to combine.
>>11641058>>11641056The things that look like the Power of the Primes hand guns just slapped on as a gap filler
>>11641061I like this guy. Volcanicus not so much.
>>11641066>Dinobots are so strong they don't need to combine.>not willing to become even strongerngmi
>>11641069>Bocon-no pico...?
>>11641061i really like these unique dinosaurswhy none of those "THE MOST FORGOTTEN DINOBOT" talks about these?a fucking hadrosaurus dinobot?i didnt know we got itwe need to get a famous new reviewer to make a video of it
>>11641016Yeah, Selects 2026. He won't be big like the other combiners though, it'll be the core class Volcanicus/Dinoking mold. The combiner is roughly Voyager sized.
>>11641002The more I look, Im pretty convinced there is something wrong with this pic >>11640773It has to be warped or skewed or something
>>11641074wow this looks much better than dinobots.I'm excited.
>>11641070I'm not a shonentard who needs infinite power levels, so yeah, they're strong enough the way they are.
>>11641072.......No.
>>11641061I miss PCC, they were a neat little line and I really liked the core bots with their little armadas of powerup drones. Smolder in particular still holds a special place in my heart, the Decepticon fire truck who likes showing up to house fires only to douse the burning structures with more accelerant.I still never got Dinopope but now I wouldn't mind the SS86 Dinobots having a little menagerie of lesser dinos like them and Slash.
>>11640700>Upscaled 2006 mold vs doughy monstrosity with absolutely zero detailCan I have some more options? These both suck.Also is it just me or does the jet mode look weirdly fat?
>>11641075I think you're onto something shortstuff
You think we'll get a G2 Bruticus?
>>11641084The detail's right there.
>>11641090Either him or Ruination. I hope we get the latter first because I want come Commandos for Legacy Scourge
>>11641083I had to import Grimmaster since Grimstone was so impossible to find. Also one of my Heavytread's elbows had a warped mushroom peg but good luck ever finding a second one of those back then.
>>11641083Same thoughts anonPCC was something specialSearchlight was my guy
>>11641083Maybe Nexus will be a PCC.
>>11641094I’ve always heard mixed opinions on PCC >>11641096I am fascinated to see how Nexus is going to work given he’s only listed as a Voyager. Even Dinoking was $80
>>11641099What if they make him a combiner wars style torso (ports for CW arms and legs) that also supports the frame-combiner shoulder connection?
>>11641103Wouldn't be very accurate. Cheaper, but inaccurate.
>>11641103That’s what the most common theory is, though it seems weird that the other combiner chests wouldn’t be the same if that were the case
>>11641094This is almost a haiku
>>11641034Shut up Boco.
>>11641061>didn't like the idea of combining Dinobots back thenIf they sacrifice the individual modes so badly and the combined mode looks like a mess, yeah, fuck that. I already have combining robot dinosaurs in other toylines, that's nothing new.
>>11641126Yes sir...
>>11641128>. I already have combining robot dinosaurs in other toylinesok name 10 other toyline dinosaur combiners that look better
>>11640764Why do they feel the need to make every port-based weapon into a melee option? This looks stupid.With that said, I desperately want to see the Minicon heads but the neutral head actually looks pretty decent and unless the Minicon heads are completely borked I’m getting exactly what I wanted. Unless they make Jetfire I think this is my final purchase.
>>11641135What if they make Overload? Also, Jetfire is believed to be the second Commander next year
>>11641133Megazord>>11641135>Unless they make Jetfire I think this is my final purchase.He's out this summer.
>>11641133Looks are subjective, but give me a super robot made of dinosaurs like King Gosaurer before Volcanicus any day.
Trans fans are actually praising this.Is this a fucking joke or something? It looks like a large super deformed kit.Or like a robot parody of Warwick Davis
>>11641087tee hee
>>11641140Look man, my only Bruticus is the old spindly Fall of Cybertron....thing. Compared to that this is gold.
Cotton Hill Bruticus.
>>11641099>I’ve always heard mixed opinions on PCCThe short version is that the two-packs were good and the five-packs were bad, with exceptions both ways
>>11641145>Ah killed fiddy Bots!
>>11641140his legs look smaller every time this get reposted
>>11641137>Megazord>dinosaursretardand he dont even look good>>11641138another megazord-junkso...nothing. Just as i thought
>>11641144Your happy with MidgetusHe literally looks as if all his weight is crushing swindle and brawl like how you'd look standing on 2 cola cans
>>11641150>Dinozords>not dinosaursOkay, fine, two of them are mammals, but still.
>uses frame>still looks like shitlmao
>>11641150Way to prove you have shit taste anon, Volcanicus looks like roadkill compared to most super robots.
>>11641149Dont the arms bother anyone? His arms dont look like this. They just reused motor masters frame for bruticus and it looks retarded. The legs look stupidly tiny and the arms look as if their hanging on with 2 toy vehicles cut in half and stuck onDo hasbro have indian designers now
>>11641046>literally everybody has PotP volcanicus unless a newguyNah. I never bothered with him because all of the individual bots looked like shit, and I don't feel the need for the Dinobots to combine to begin with. There's nothing appealing about him.
>>11641159It all bothers me. That's why I'm skipping it.I gave Menasor a chance because Motormaster came with his trailer but it turned out to be trash. I didn't even bother with Silverbolt and that dinner plate hanging off his back and I'm skipping this one too.
>>11641157>>11641152That "random japanese gundam slop N 8309820385423" design don't even look remotely goodat least try to shitpost better next time
>>11641162At the time, it was the only CHUG Dinobots (except for Grimmy)
>>11641165>That "random japanese gundam slop N 8309820385423" design don't even look remotely goodand yet it still blows frameslop midgeticus out of the water
>>11641165Ah, you're one of those retards that think all japanese robots look like Gundam. Well, that explains everything.
>>11641167>except for GrimmyThe only Dinobot I cared about, and didn't feel the need to 'upgrade' - especially after I saw how shitty he looked in PotP. The only Dinobot worth getting for that whole line was Slash.
>>11641170it really does: >>11641138
>>11641167>At the time, it was the only CHUG DinobotsYeah, and they looked like shit, so I skipped them. I'd rather have no dinobots that buying something subpar just to fill a spot in my collection.
>>11641144You never got the CW guys? At least tell me your FoC Bruticus is the G2 Fruiticus variant, that one fucks.
>>11641173No it doesn't, just stop
>>11641173You know nothing about mecha design if you think that looks like a Gundam. But I can't blame you because most transformers fans seem to be like that.
>>11641173You've never seen a Gundam before. That's a totally different look.
>>11641176>You never got the CW guys?No, and I really couldn't tell you why. Content with the FoC guy, I suppose. At the time.
>>11641177>>11641178>>11641179it looks like copy pasted gundam weaboo slop that only a total virgin would know aboutand im pretty sure that characters and story is shit too
>>11641150>>11641165https://youtu.be/VyqPwmshOn4Do you really not recognize King Go-Saurer? If so, you need to go back to transforming toy robot school.
>>11640773He looks like he was photoshopped to be shorter.
>>11641183nobody caresit looks like the same shit with the same color choices despite it's being a robot from a different cartoonat least dinobots are unique and you instantly know it's THE dinobots
Bros it's up!https://youtu.be/hf38Yi73pCU
>>11641012We really had it so good
>>11641182Man Go-Saurer doesn't even have the excuse of being designed by Kunio Okawara like Star Saber does to get Gundam comparisons from, you really don't know jack shit huh.
>>11641046TDW can be hit or miss but man they're nice and really do save some releases>>11641140Honestly if you stretched the legs moreCleaned up how Swindle/Brawl go onAnd made the Frame Arms color match Vortex/Blast Off it'd be a start
>>11641199I dunno....Onslaught looks wrong in vehicle mode. Guns are tiny and front cab isnt even right. Then in robot mode he has box legs and stick out forearms with tiny guns on his back.The rest of the crew dont look great either.Now onslaught drags along a large pair of pants with him that transform into.....something....that his gun can rest on. Then the team merge to form Midget Warrior
>>11641140Something of concern to me: Repaints. Its not gonna look good if they do G2. Bruticus will have neon yellow and purple camo arms.I'd really rather we make all of the arms Voyagers, the torso a Leader, and stop these awful Menasor style split-vehicle arms.
>>11641174but Slag loves you
>>11640700hey, My favorite Transformer tuber, just discussed the big chungus transformer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh8M3OA0ksg
>>11641218buy a banner
>>11641218fuck off shill
>>11641221>>11641223the lego people were alot nicer
>>11641218buzz off fucko
>>11641233I think this idiot >>11641182 put people in a bad mood
>>11640700the Brawl guy is on sale for preorder on european amazoneurobros - buckle up!
>>11641136>OverloadWhile cool, they’d really have to spruce him up to get me to purchase, which is not a certainty based on the sum of the Armada offerings. Though if they made a decent update to Demolisher, I might change my tune. These prices are getting a bit insane though.>>11641137Last thread people were saying he was up in the air. And I mean, of course he is, he’s a space ship, but I’m hoping to get a decent look soon…
>>11641149>Heddie in reverseKek
>>11641252The leaker who's never wrong says Jetfire is the second Commander to make up for no Titan in 2026, so I'm confident.
>>11641205The reliance on Frame slop means such absurd restraints and compromises for the individual characters and profile of the bodies to startLet alone Vehicles also having to take them into account.You're right on Onslaught Vehicle tho now that I got a more clear picture.The Truck feels off, lumpy and weird shaped. Like it's 2-3 different Truck/Semi designs rolled into oneThe Cannons are awful and just tubesThe Robot Mode wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for the unshapely leg's that look off, Those stupid same flat block feet as SuperionThe Forearms are too much Truck TidbitsThe entire front of the truck nearly splitting for the Forearms just sucks and looks badI feel they could have made the waist section cleaner tooIt all really does boil down to "We took too many corner cuts to smush in the Combiner Gimmick" SOMEHOW Motormaster was the only good so far but I chalk it up to being a solid Robot/Alt Mode to start and the entire Frame being shoved into a Trailer.Meanwhile Silverbolt feels clunky, awful and a let down and the Combiner Frame being this massive chunk of shrapnel that doesn't look good as whatever the fuck it's supposed to Vehicle wise and the "Base" Armament? mode is laughableIt's just worse designed, worse feeling and for 2-3x what the CW cost nearly
>>11641262Idk i like this one.it's pretty much a display for other combaticons.I would put brawl on the back and vortex on top of cannon because it has round part like a helicopter place
Fuck its cold
>>11640770I like how this brought back the little base/repair bay from the original toy that no one remembers.
>>11640762>>11640773Does Evan base ALL tfs on his dumpy, out-of-shape frame? Manlets with lanky gorilla arms isn't a good look on anyone. Awful silhouettes -- fuck Hasbro.
>>11641259I really hope they make Spacewarp since her last toy was cancelled (Astrotrain doesn’t count)
>>11641265love this Brawn mold
>>11641265Yo I just got one of these guys on Ali Express for a buck. Well worth it, except for the fact that my tried to eat his wheels.
>>11641269I like it too, but the SS86 mold feels like a perfect update to the original
>>11641273oh damn i never seen it... Just like many less known studio characters it just appeared for 1 second and teleported away i assume
>>11641273My one and only gripe with it is that the head is a pinned swivel, making it virtually impossible to remove for customization.
>>11641280To be fair, this is the Retro series Outback that was reveal a couple of weeks ago that’s a retool of the SS86 mold
>>11641284oh i see. i just wouldn't be surprised. For example i saw Beachcomber for a small amount of time and now it's overpriced because normal lots were sold out fast
Someone did an edit of Bruticus as Ruination and I have to admit, it looks pretty cool
>>11641291Hasbro Pulse restocked himhttps://www.hasbropulse.com/product/transformers-legacy-evolution-beachcomber-paradise-parakeet/F71965X00
>>11641298that brawl looks AWESOMEIs it possible to make both of his legs into Brawls?or it's just for a left leg and won't peg into the other one?
>>11641298While not perfect, Bruticus' proportions look better with this deco. I assume he will look much better in-hand and those renders aren't doing him justice>coping
>>11641320+ in action poses i assume. This bruticus is fine. and hes solid and well articulated and won't fall
>>11640773>>11640898Heh, I just noticed the sculpted wheels on the back of Bruticus's knees.
>>11640792I like it too, at least he has good proportionsif he'd been a frame for 40 years, I think people would dig it, and consider this an impressive adaptation of it. but he wasn't, and we're way more used to regular combiners that just plug into each other and not a frame..
>>11640828cant disagree with you therebut the shorter legs do make him look more brute-y.
>>11641262Oh hey, I almost didn't notice they hid the chest plate so much better on this one. Goddamn, this truck is just curb stomping every other Onslaught toy they've ever made.
>>11640925boy that.. really does helpit's sad because the toes we got (that is, the soles) look very obtrusive in the altmode, so it's the worst of both worlds.
>>11641262Combiner Wars onslaught vehicle for comparisonYou keep shitting on Hasbro but imagine if they gave us picrelated with today's reveal. People would explode in anger.
>>11640947an ankle tilt would not have been possible in this design. I'll be amazed if it can even stand while you plug the components in
>>11640961to me, the 'he already has feet' just looks like gundam foot armor
>>11641340the problem is gundam foot armor is an armor that goes on top of legs and covers feet with a tip of it.there is no "under the foot" space to make it organic/cool looking like that where the additional 3rd party foot goes slightly "inside" the bottom partBut yeah let's see the final actual thing in videosPS:btw i dont think any 3rd party will go that far with making such an upgrade.it will probably be something much more simple
>>11640961I really it when you do the doodles and diagrams.
>>11641298Baldigus actually focused on the scramble gimmick in the show, Flight Mission and Land Mission modes. They're the last character to use this frame shit on.
>>11641348LIKE IT. I really LIKE IT.
>>11641361>the leg bots split in half for ankle tiltYou'll get your retarded gimmick little timmy
This Bruticus gorilla proportions shit is likely just faggots on here and R*dd*t freaking out over mistransformed stock photos done by some random Indonesian once again
>>11641369bruticus is Brutehe's gorilla like because hes a big guy
i know you people hate youtube links but i just can't stop rewatching this short>Iron Maden>cool robots>combine!this is exactly why im a fan of transformers...https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Vt8o58VWVJsToo bad i was stupid enough to miss Menasor. I just didn't care about cars when i was seeing them as stock photos on Amazon.But holy shit Menasor looks cool badass awesome as a combiner.It's way too late to start building him tho - many of his parts started to climb up in price already
>>11641298Fuck yeah. I'll take any Car Robots release they wanna throw my way, I'd gladly buy that. It'd be cool if they made a separate version of Armorhide/Dangar in pic related colors to go with them. I've always like this weird deco for his RID release.
>>11641331>>11641338I'll say itI like CW/UW Onslaught's Vehicle. I think microscale where it's one of those huge ass Trailer's that hauls entire Space ShuttlesCause I mean it is The door along the leg gives me "It's like 2X the size of a normal Semi Truck Hauler" scale impressionsHad they figured out how to squeeze Ankle Tilts in and maybe cleaned up shoulder's he'd have honestly been peak
>>11641379>hes a big guy4 U
>>11641369>freaking out over mistransformed stock photos done by some random Indonesian once againIt's easy to tell it's correctly transformed if you take a look at the pics to understand how Onslaught's trailer works. It's pretty straightforward, there's no error there.If anything, I've seen the "don't worry guys, it's clearly mistransformed" coping nonsense more times than the opposite. That's how Bruticus is going to look, period.
>>11641140Where? Even TFW are laughing at that joke.
>>11641110Damn I missed it
>>11641039it works for me. He looks like the Hulk.
>>11641064yeah I always quite liked that too.
>>11641087we all did this with our dads, didn't we
So I bought a Beast Wars Inferno from a guy and for some reason, his hips won't close.I've not seen a problem like this with him anywhere else, does anyone have any idea?
>>11641398I still think its fucked up it looks fine here >>11640987 which is the one way nobody will display it as
>>11641138hey there's another where there are visibly feet above the feet but it looks okay.>>11641140if'n he had bigger fists, I think people would be more into these proportions.
>>11641421Hey the ass kinda looks like The Fly
>>11641421well for one thing yours appears to be partially broken, buuut yeah I remember mine giving me trouble the last time I got it out. I think it's just a really fiddly fit. let me go check mineokay yeah nevermind, not broken, it's supposed to be asymmetrical like that. yeah it's just kinda hard, keep pressin it and make sure the tabs are lined up JUST right. it's one of those situations where because it swings in, the tab is in the wrong place until the MOMENT it's not
>>11641425kek. it does. the last version, where he sheds his semitic good looks for an asymmetrical yoda-eyed headcrab face
>>11641422That's exactly the same thing without the limb robots attached to it.
>>11641421Mine tabs fine after all these years, but it always looked good from the front but slightly split from the back.Cool to see that the asymmetrical part I always believed was a mold defect it's the same on yours.
>>11641429You're sure mine isn't busted?There's no click when I force them together with my mighty loser strength, they just push apart.>Captcha ohnwo
>>11641434Anon thats obvious. But that being the case is why its so strange it looks better proportionally
>>11641438Not that anon, but the front catch and the place where it should snap on the opposite piece seem to be slightly misshapen, maybe? Like someone pushed them together without aligning them and they got slightly squished.
>>11641446That's obvious too, it looks better to you because the shoulders aren't as wide without the arm bots there, meaning the legs don't look too short anymore when compared to the upper body.
>>11641438it's pretty soft plastic.. just try to wiggle it in there, maybe even use tweezers to poke the tabs as you get it shut
>>11641451see i think the thicker arms are what make the shorter legs work.
>>11641454If that's the case you should see the complete combiner as good, not the opposite.
>>11640773>>11640774Here I fixed it
>>11641456i do!>>11641458like this is okay, but it looks more artificial, more ungainly. and now the knees are REALLY high up on the legs.
>>11641458Now each knee is on a different height. Poor guy can't even walk normally anymore, good job anon.
>>11640773At first I didn't like the proportions, now I looked at this and it doesn't look as bad to me anymore.
>>11641469At least the new one's Blastoff arm will hold together a lot better than the UW arm.
>>11641469>Onslaught's and Swindle's fists just chilling there in plain sightAnd I thought Brawl's visible hands on the new one was bad.
>>11641472Maybe I worded it wrong, but what I'm saying is that the old one made me appreciate the new one better.
>>11640773Ive been looking at this all day and those legs are just insanely bad. All Swindle and Brawl needed to do was turn into literally boxes. Instead they over-engineered them to hug the leg and leave their arms hanging out the back for absolutely no reason whatsoever and simultaneously removed half the mass of the shins. So were left with what looks like his shins are completely missing, as another anon put it, like Cotton Hill. Whoever designed this figure is beyond stupid and Im so mad Im about to take a huge break from Transformers altogether
>>11641469Youre just exchanging a short torso for short legs
>>11641460>>11641463Super robot proportions are short thighs. That's why people were saying it looks like he's just wearing boots, his thigh to calf ratio is off. Look the other combiners, same deal.
>>11641469He's pretty nice
>>11641338no they wouldn't for the same reason they didn't back then, it was much cheaper and it didn't rely on cheaty nonsense
>>11641262even Motormaster was ass
>>11641488Yeah it just had regular nonsense being an ass backwards fire truck with the lightbars still molded in and even painted
>>11641429>>11641453Yeah, it won't hold together no matter what I do, but this peg doesn't look like it pegs into anything.I'm sorry, could I ask you to pull yours out again to look at the peg?Man, I paid forty bucks for this.
>>11641504Fucker.
>>11641500and this one has the regular nonsense too because it still looks like a shit truck FOR MORE MONEY! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Are you ready to admit the frame system is a failure yet?
Weren’t there supposed to be Liokaiser updates every month? Or at least one in September?
>>11641511Looks like a better truck.
>b-b-b-b-but it’s better than CW!funniest cope in existencecan’t wait for bruticus 4.0 so all the shills can suddenly start shitting on frames
>>11641523probably shitting themselves over the omega prime disaster
>>11641479only because so many transformers have really huge shins and short thighs.this one has normal legs, as long as he's supposed to be a hulking brute.>>11641484yeah but they do it wrong these days. Short thighs are meant to go with a short torso too.
>>11641504sorry mate here, see these are the tabs in question. The holes are there, it's just that they work against you until the last second. try to just nudge em in.>>11641508yeah that's the other problem, no good place to push from.
>>11641514They never willThey'll just cope and nitpick at shit while defending it3 releases now and 3 for 3 on dogshit
>>11641525no it doesn't see>>11641262
>>11641528it will be just a large robot you tack the five figures to. plus the alt modes will be also separate. an11 piece set for just 400 dollars
>>11641551bunch of words just to say the truck looks fine
stupid statement that i'll probably eat when it looks terrible:i'd be okay with frame-based tripredacus and magnaboss (well the 'tri' part would be a tidbit ruined by that unless they actually make ironhide the entire frame again which.. they kinda did, but he sucked.
>>11641523Hasbro literally fired their entire PR department earlier this year. They're going back to the pre-covid style of only revealing stuff at events and expos.
>>11640775>this is the first frameformer that looks WORSE without parts combinedYeah well, it's supposed to be completed with all the guys. Fucking dumbass.
>>11641549>Had to buy third party add-ons so the toy can be posed in an A stanceYou're in no position to talk.
>>11641554it looks like shit.short enough amount of words for you?
>>11641558and obviously letting shills loose on the boards
>>11641573I agree, CW looked like shit. The new one looks good.
>>11641578
>>11640773Yeah, DNA is gonna have a field day with this mess.
>>11641549That's a cool angle that attempts to hide how terrible the proportions are on that toy. The add on parts and extra Takara paint definitely help.
>>11640774>hasbro>thinking
>>11641549>third party upgradesLolLmao
>>11640774>>11640773>>11640770Those legs are fucking awful. Jesus christ. It looks like shit even with the bots on. What in the fuck.
>>11640770>those legsPoor little tink tink
>>11641149Tojos machine guns took his shins!
>>11641514>Are you ready to admit the frame system is a failure yet?nigga we've been saying it since the very first frame shit was shown off
>>11641566>>11641585>>11641598Like fucking clockwork every single time
>>11641614and this is the first time it looks pretty good to me
>>11641617You HAVE to be trollingI refuse to even entertain the idea that somebody looked at this and said"Yea looks pretty good to me" and meant it %100 genuinelyThere is no fucking way You either haven't physically seen or touched a Transformers in 10+ years, Are mentally handicapped or you're trollingAnd I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and saying it's trolling
>post constantly about a well known shit toy that most of us have had the displeasure of owning at one point or another>say its the best thing ever, look at these cool poses, everyone just doesn't understand it>gets butthurt when people call her out on how seethrough her attempts and polishing a turd isI think CW slopper is my favorite schizo, so cute
>>11641620well obviously the frame doesn't.but neither does any part of a combiner on its lonesome, even a more traditional one that turns into a limb, a limb part, a torso, or maybe 'pants.'If you think of it as just a torsoformer who got a little out of hand... then the combined form looks pretty nice, and better than they probably could have done otherwise.
Why are all (but one) of his guns red?
>>11641621>Pretending this Gen hated CW/UWYou have to be new or trolling too hard and brightlyAlmost everybody here had multiple from CW and almost all agreed Abominus was one of the best ones next to BruticusI saw them the most constantly during that near 2-4+ Year run of Prime Wars
>>11641632to be fair, I always disliked CW. i'm not sure which gen we're talking about.
>>11641629Probably because all of Astrotrain's were already black, so they changed it for variety
>Bruticus>Inherited the worst part of the frame and individual combine bot designThe feet are literally the same engineering concept of the 86 Dev- with additional frame86 Dev got almost no shin eitherThe arm should have gone with the old CW/86 Dev to avoid the mis-coloring but the frames prevented that from happening; unless Hasbro is willing to color separate the arms from rest of onslaught or if people be ok with mixed color trailer in vehicle mode if Hasbro went with paints (probably not)So yeah, don't get it.
>>11641635It had some peak with Rook and others but TR really was golden
>>11641645yeah TR seems betteri dont have anything from either of them, but
>>11640702The one on the right looks more accurate to the cartoon and comics
>>11640700https://x.com/gLYjzoShlTvAN0g/status/1995694158913438174It's peak
>>11641668that's a pretty awkward way to shoot his right ray..
>>11640820Why are you focused on his arm color? His legs are short as fuck! He looks like a baby lego!
>Quickstrike and Quintus updated arriving on December 8thGoddamn. Well, they'll be nice Christmas presents to myself after the holidays.
>>11641514Are you ready to do that by actually playing with a CW combiner and put it in a pose that's not standing straight, without addon parts?
>>11641629The red guns are a reference to the rocket base while the black gun is his main gun.
>>11640700The only thing the new mold has over the old is the legs.
>More Anons being contrarian for attentionOh brother
>>11641749What if I'm not being contrarian? What if that actually is my unfiltered dogshit opinion? What will you do then?
>>11641748Well, the legs and the fact that it has a rotating waist.
>>11641620Fucking Oscar Pistorius looking ass
>>11640898Abominus next please
>>11641796>do the "arm split" transformation step with Blot >releases an even nastier smell into the air
>>11641748I like the proportions way better on the new one. Never bought a single version of the old mold because the torso looks too wide compared to the rest.
>>11641632People was desperate for combiners back then, that doesn't make these toys good. I didn't buy a single one because they looked like clunky shit in combined mode and cheap as individual figures.
>the CHAD Bruticus
Really wish they made Squeezeplay and Horribull in the same style as TR Fangry.
One thing I liked about Volcanicus is that you can store a Titan master under his head so it looks like its piloting him(Shitty old picture from when I still had him)
>>11640770can i pose it like my irl decepticin?
>>11641849there is a point here.They were the first time we got a lot of these combiners in CHUG so people were more forgiving.however that doesn't take away from the fact the new combiners still suck AND since they're not the first time for these combiners and they're way more expensive, people don't have to be as forgiving.
>>11641879The frame system doesn't bother me and the end result is better individual figures and a combined mode that's actually fun to pose, that's enough for me.Not a fan of Bruticus proportions, though. Will wait for more pics , but I disliked the CW gangly proportions way more so even that is still better in my eyes.
>>11641890>better individual figuresit's easy to make better figures when you ignore the giant kibble tumors they have to drag around to workoh and you get to pay more for it.
>>11641896I like the combined jet mode though
>>11641904I hate it. Its a tennis racquet.I bought the Stunticons because I was happy (at first) that Motormaster had his trailer. Except the trailer sucks.It's too short so it looks bad, it doesn't do anything, and I'm paying extra for it.as for the frame system, at this point, you may as well just buy a separate poseable combiner figure and buy five separate small figures. You'd be paying the same amount of money and not have to deal with those pesky engineering issues that seem to stymie the toy designers anymore.
>>11641851I think the ankles being so high is also what's throwing people off.Bruticus' legs are technically shorter even if he's the same height, like he's wearing elevator shoes.
>>11641908Sounds like you're mad people are playing with their toys differently from you.
>>11641912
>>11641913no I'm giving reasons why I don't like the toy. you can write them off however you want.
>>11640717strongly agree, the simplistic look on the new version just looks boring and cheap, proportions are better, can't argue with that, but extreme cartoon accuracy just doesn't do it for me, I mean, look at the arms, the new SS86 are just 3 sad blocks with a hand sticked to it.If Hasbro is really going to re-do all the ss86 cast like this, I can see them failing miserably, I get why 3 of every 10 collectors are in to the super cartoon accuracy, but that's aiming to a very specific part of the fandom, the rest of us already had those characters and it's more likely to get the previous more cooler versions of the 86 characters (which would be of coure, more cheaper than buy the new versions), the only new one I'm actually getting will be soundwave and I'm gonna reprolabel his ass when I get it.
>>11641908>I hate it. Its a tennis racquetI love it because it looks like a tennis racket. Still have to take a pic of it with Armada Unicron's minicon as the ball.
>>11641864Love these little dudes
Today I will remind them that there's people out there who bought this thing.
>>11641927It was all we had
>>11641927I bought the Onslaught and Brawl from this setsome of the stupidest TF purchases I ever made, god every figure from that 2012-2013 era was cheap dogshit
>>11641932Swindle was the worst. Just a big plastic plate with arms and legs
>>11641927I NEED studio series gamer BruticusAlso I can't believe SS titans are locked to aoe dinobots for at least three years
>>11640700When the figures are in the same pose like this, the Earthrise figure looks significantly better. The SS86 figure's lack of surface detail looks horribly cheap. It's a shame because SS86 does have superior engineering, resulting in improves articulation, better feet and a cleaner plane undercarriage.
>>11641948I don’t necessarily mind other than the fact that it means that the main line doesn’t have a Titan as well. We’re not going to get Super Megatron, Broadside, or Metroplex for a while
>>11641927I loved the game and wanted to support it! It was a new combiner when there wasn’t anything else! But yeah it’s so bad
I FUCKING LOVE BEING WHITE
>>11640925Third one is by far the best, but I'd paint over the original 'toes'. Onslaught's trailer should not contain the other Combaticons' colours.
>>11641932>od every figure from that 2012-2013 era was cheap dogshitthat reminded me why i was never into transformers back in 2010s.I jumped from Beast Wars into the abyss because i never liked any transformers toys after then.And then suddenly Combiner Wars-Titans Returns-Power of the Primes and it was amazingi liked nearly every figure (except ovious cheap remolds like all the samey planes/cars/helicopters everything else was top tier toy compared to those 2010s ones)Especially monsters or animals>>11641864>>11641857Awesome!i love love love love titans return for bringing us tons of tiny cool guys like these
After years of putting it off I've finally taken a new census of my collection. After cataloging everything I find that I've forgotten the names of these three, I figure that you guys know who they are though. The truck and red minicon were dollar store purchases so I know they fit into "Universe", I got the white minicon loose somewhere along the way and don't remember who he was partnered with, pretty sure he's not from any 3-pack. With these three labeled correctly my collection is a nice round 600 pieces.
>>11641896>you ignore the giant kibble tumors they have to drag around to workBruticus don't have a kibble tumorhis "kibble" is a trailer that carries Brawl around which is awesome
>>11641988Please don't conflate 2010-11 with 2012-13
>>11641090RID currently only has two villains and neither work as opponents for Omega Prime, so I think Ruination is the more likely repaint. Maybe they'll do both, trickling one out through sub-lines like the G2 Stunticons while the other is sold as a single set. Although my preferred colour scheme for Bruticus is the Japanese Ruination/Baldigus but with the American Mega-Octane/Onslaught.
>>11641991and Bruticus looks the worst so far
>>11641090>You think we'll get a G2 Bruticus?i'm pretty sure we willwe got obsure unreleased G2 dinobots Im sure it will be another 2-pack release. You can even screencap this - i'm that serious!I can't wait for this - i want both of them!In my headcanon regular bruticus is an evil warmachine from USA and g2 bruticus is Europe (more flamboyant and friendly - he's the good guy)
>>11641187Orion Pax looks good if you like the designs from that movie, Sideways will be great as long as he has his gimmicks and the rest look shit.
>>11641990Blue Jeep - Universe Omnicon Strong ArmRed Mini-Con - TF2010 DrivetrainWhite Mini-Con - Armada Powerlinx Inferno included with Powerlinx Thrust
>>11641298Much better. I prefer those parts being yellow instead of gold. If Mega-Octane had his camo pattern and Rollbar was a darker shade of green, this would be almost perfect.
>>11641369The only mistransformation I can see at a glance is that Brawl's hands haven't been folded in, so the whole world can see that this voyager class figure has disgusting holes in his forearms.
>>11641514The frame system works mostly fine for Menasor. It could have worked for the other two teams if Hasbro weren't cheap/lazy/both. Hasbro's obsession with a crappy 80s cartoon is why a lot of modern figures look bad but the Aerialbot limbs really needed to be voyagers.
>>11642008Thanks anon, my collection list is now complete.I didn't bother to count the Kreos, Heroes of Cybertron, Robot Heroes or Attacktix stuff yet, I'm not sure how much they count.
>>11641748The new feet are better and the stabilisers being attached to the shins looks less awkward when posing but, apart from that, the old legs look a lot better.
>>11641896Surely that box art is false advertising. The wings look much bigger than the real figure's and they actually hide the blocky undercarriage. The combiner junk really should have transformed into something other than a tumour (tiny aircraft carrier?)
>>11641970So when are we getting an Ultra Magnus trailer for this figure?
>>11642021drone plane
>>11640700https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoOMWSMs5cY
>>11642032He's the guy that makes the most sense to make one of these for, but still isn't something that appeals to me.
>>11642032It's amazing how this and their transforming Bumblebee look so much better than Hasbro's regular toys in both modes despite the simpler transformations.
>>11642012Brawl's hands don't move, it's half of the forearm that goes around the hand to form the sides of the tank. Check a transformation video. In leg mode you either see the holes, or have longer parts hanging.
>>11642032This one is actually really tempting, especially because he’s a functioning speaker and my favorite character
>>11641914i love how those are the least strange thing about this picture
>>11642032>somebody hacks my Soundwave to make it kill me in my sleep
>>11642032>crush comes over>my soundwave transforms itself and reads out my browser historyWhat the fuck man
swindle
I picked up Tarn on a Black Friday discount. Doesn't really hold any surprises for me, since I already own both Bludgeons, but he looks badass.
>>11642096he really does kinda look okay
>nate confirmed bruticus will have inaccurate colorsdamn they really have just stopped giving a shit
This is probably Bruticus' most flattering picture so far
>>11642110Weird how Vortex is so cool, but the combiner he is part of ain't.
>>11642110FUCK FRAMESFUCK FRAMESFUCK FRAMES
No one escapes Decepticon justice.
>Bruticus is confirmed shorter than SuperionIt's joever
>>11642124He's still a midget.
>>11642124Zero room for upward arm movement here but I like the idea of a shoulder, elbows and hands kit
>>11642095>JeepFuck, but I guess I should have known since it's toon accurate.
>>11642095This looks so bad lol
>no images of the minicons becoming sideways head or mention of it at the paneluh... bros?
Its over
>let's doompost about the new release for 48 hours instead of posting about things we likeJoyless general
You'll suffer till the end of time,Enduring tortures, most of which rhyme,Trapped forever here in Robot Hell!
>>11642125They'll keep making Tarns but they'll never toss us a Nickel.
>>11642145>or mention of it at the panelYou need to pay more attention.
Idk bruticus is still the only good transformer after Devastator.i like how Swindle has this tiny trailer with gun
>>11642162Good>>11642163I watched it, there was no mention
>>11642145They look like headmasters, so would be fucking strange if they don't.
>>11642164>Swindle has this tiny trailerFor more merchandise, naturally.
>>11642159i love how that song is just slightly out of castellaneta's singing range
>>11642110So it turned out this general flipped out over nothing. Again.
>>11642124What's a Fuck Frame? It sounds kinky.
I just want a new First Aid. Don’t even care to get the rest of the Protectobots.
>>11642164it needs two trailers!
>>11642167Hasbro is trying to make money selling these? No way!
>>11642195No, so Swindle can haul around more stuff to sell.You know who Swindle is, right? It's in the name, baby.
Blueticus
>>11642085Soundwave knows all your secrets
>>11642164>>11642167It's a Howitzer. That's how the military gets their ground-based artillery from one location to another quickly, they hook 'em up to jeeps, drive them to where they need to be positioned, then detach and anchor them down again (can't fire that while it's still attacked to the jeep, or both will go flying from the recoil).
I swear if Sideways has no headswap concept.....
>>11642110Yep, I'm getting him.
>>11641927I got this and the 3rd party onslaught that, while it made the combiner look awesome, was very shoddily made and kinda fragile.
Really liking the Megatron the more I mess with himWish I could find the Thundercracker early and Soundwave but I don't think anybody other than reviewers have Soundwave in hand
>>11642199FUCK FRAMESFUCK FRAMESFUCK FRAMES
surely the next Predaking will save us from the frame menace
>>11642204It's Hasbro, they are going to fuck it up.They are already charging Voyager prices for a Sideways figure that does less than the Deluxe did 20 years ago. We are going backwards with toys but forward with prices
>>11642155Not only that, it's all born out of autism and the retards here not understanding depth perception and camera angles.90% of /tfg/ will fail the apple test, every time.
>>11642203do they like drive spikes into the ground or summat, i'm having trouble thinking what anchoring method would work
>>11642232what if I can only think of the apple for a few seconds
>>11642145They have the eyes and can't even be covered like the old toy, of course they still turn into heads.
>>11642155>>11642232it's born out of people not being impressed with your latest slop, Hasbroshill.
>>11642227It's more insulting knowing the Front Cab of Vortex splits open too and easily could have housed a CW style pegholeSame with Blast Off
>>11642232What if my Apple is this with the music from the Supply Van?
>>11642232what if I see your mom's snatch? but then again, everyone's seen that.
>>11642231It's impossible to do less than the original Sideways. It didn't even have elbows or knees. Armada's worst fucking toy of all.
>>11642227Wow, false alarm boys. He looks perfectly fine, great even. That first reveal picture was obviously skewed, like I had guessed.
>>11642247>le...SLOP>look Mom, I said the word again!>>11642258Somehow an even more autistic response than the other one I just quoted.
>>11642258I mean I think you usually have your eyes closed during that part, and can't even really focus yet, but I guess technically.
>>11642262anon you are the first person other than me to complain about that faggy, garbagey way of speaking, since the term was coined by fagtards. Don't act like we have consensus there. They are fucking numerous and need to be stopped.
>>11642260You clearly didn't even take a good look at the thing. Yes, it has way more articulation, obviously. But they fucked up his main gimmick. The minicons need to partsform between modes and don't even hide the head mode eyes, for fucks sake. And the emblem change is now done by simply rotating a panel manually without the option to leave it blank for bike and minicon-less mode.His base head looks like shit with that scrawny neck, too.
>>11642260> Gives elbows and knees> Takes away all springs and paint> Minicons can't hide their faces> Minicons can't make the heads and attach> Figure is smaller > Does not come with trading card or mini comic> Ask almost triple the price from the original
>>11642269The main gimmick was already fucked up. Gimmicks ruin toys and Sideways is a textbook example of that. This new attempt is just polishing the turd Armada made in the first place.
>>11642269Bike mode manages to look weirdly blocky, no dynamism whatsoever. Also the robot feet, what are those?Big let down to me, he's my favorite Armada design in the show and really wanted the new toy to do it justice.
>>11642110His dick is bigger than Superions. At least twice as large.
>>11642262You talk like a fag and your shits all retarded
>>11642274If they're going to remove the gimmicks they better make the thing look as best as possible. This is not the case, the minicons heads sculpt look closer to the old toy than the show and that bike mode is worse than the original.
>>11642284>"disguise" is minicons on on his demanding butt sex
Preorders went up for King Frame Combiner
>>11642227>>11642199The proportions actually look much better here. Im surprised so few people are talking about this. Nevermind, I'm actually not surprised.
Man, we need a new Scourge.This ain't a fair fight
>>11642104Inaccurate to what? It's already clearly inaccurate to the G1 toy.
>>11642127Unless you're a Chinese third party company, that is. I bet they're thrilled to see how shit Bruticus looks.
>>11642363Honesty, Fire/Optimus is the one out of scale, we need a new mainline toy of him instead, a la Marvel Legends Sentinel>Captcha: WGR0NGSee, even the Captcha agrees with me
>>11642150I guess Nexus Prime won't be retools of these two teams then? You can't attach one of the planes to Bruticus' leg.
>>11642164What's the trailer for? At least it looks better than the wheeled brick Long Haul drags around.
>>11642204The Mini-Cons are almost certainly not going to combine...
>>11641927Thats the better color. That figure shines with the old 3rd party upgrade kit. Retail was ugly Fruiticus and they did the same thing with the AoE Dinobots
>>11642375Nexus is a Voyager, we've known this for months. No clue how it's going to work.
>>11642379It's the real frame trailer and you can fit all the other Combaticons inside so Swindle can sell them off
>>11642373Optimus is the perfect size.I will not change my mind.I really hate that it takes a Haslab to get something the size of an old leader
>>11642382They will but it looks like they partsform to do so, which is a bit lame
>>11642388well given that they already split apart, I guess that's less annoying than it would be if that wasn't how they worked.if there was a version of skids and mudflap that turned into the ice cream truck and one of them had to partsform slightly to form his part of the truck plus kinda part of the other part, i wouldn't whine.
>>11642373Presumably, the reason why RID Optimus is oversized is because Ultra Magnus had to be huge to hold the three brothers in vehicle mode (not even a leaked listing for either of the other two?). Even if you threw a bunch of third party bits onto Scourge, he still wouldn't look like a threat against Optimus' super mode.
>>11640700We need a remake of Starscream. But, uh, has anyone tried fitting the Coronation parts on the new Seeker mold? Because if we want a proper Coronation Starscream (even in his dead gray color, probably even having the F-15E shell from the MP3 Starscream mold), we won't need to make new Coronation armor and reuse the old stuff.Side note, has anyone tried making a size difference between a Fall of Cybertron Deployer Disc and Micronus Prime yet?
>>11642403The new mold doesn’t have a 5 mm port on the back, so the cape definitely won’t work
>>11642407Oof... But the other parts work, right? You might need to cheat things on Starscream with a different cape mount, though, because the original cape is out of the question.
>>11642350What do you think people are going to admit they're wrong on a site with no accountability
>>11642382Did you even read the thread before posting? They're literally shown in their combined form right here >>11640763
>>11642388>Rook's head on Mirror's chest>Need to remove limbsThey always reinvent the wheel and fuck up something that didn't need to be changed.
>>11642265that's....a response
>>11640762>>11640764Will Sideways have a neutral/blank faction symbol?
>>11642145It is odd that Hasbro haven't even mentioned it but they definitely do. There's a 5mm port visible behind the default head for the Mini-cons to plug into when the default head is folded away.
>>11642155I like the new heads I got for Seaspray and Bumblebee.>>11642449Doesn't look like it.
>>11642454Odd if true. It looks like Rook and Crosswise's heads are the TR-type, but use a different connection type instead?
>>11642461Not Titanmaster style, their heads are 5mm pegs.
>>11642440when everyone sees their mom's vagina. because they're coming out of it.
>>11642464those legs go ALL the way up!
>>11642465everyone came out of your mom's vagina?
>>11642199The leg proportions actually look pretty good in this. I hope this is how they look on the final product.
>>11642467Possibly less extreme than the original.
>>11642269>And the emblem change is now done by simply rotating a panel manuallyBased Hasbro making it so people can have toy or cartoon accurate Sideways
>>11642475Mommy
>>11642475starscream & hutch
>>11642484What about people who want to display him without the emblem?
>>11642124
>>11642388>>11642464It looks like they also partsform to become heads. It also looks like you can stack the heads like a totem pole.
>>11642454>when the default head is folded awaydoes it fold away though? it looks like you have to remove the head from its own 5mm peg and fold the peg away
>>11642531what did the original have if not a rotating panel?
>>11642550https://youtu.be/vK4s4gdST2U?si=CPGlqM3_op_TGefA&t=242
>>11642234>do they like drive spikes into the ground or summaIt just has cleats in the back, near the mounting ring.
>>11642560shit, if it could send a jeep flying, I feel like those two little spikes are not gonna be enough.
>>11642543NTA, but the head clearly rotates forward on this pin and stows in the chest.
>>11642574I hope you're right but I have a feeling you can only fold the head away in vehicle mode and that there's only enough room to fold the peg in robot mode
>>11642543>does it fold away though?It does, how else would the handlebars reach the windshield?Also, Rook's legs don't seem to have any articulation, they're just a solid piece you remove for Mirror.
>look what I gotThis is probably the lightest leader class figure box that I have ever pick up.
>>11642605*lightest leader class figure box so far
>Play (k)What do they mean by this?Thundercracker is also out in store. I don't like that expression so I am skipping him. I heard starscream will be packed in a set so screw that too.
>>11642610Press K to play
>>11642610>What do they mean by this?They took that screenshot from a Youtube video.
>>11642610It's funny how the screenshot they themselves picked clearly shows they made the toy's colors too bright.
>>11642610Hasbro:We put the "K" in quality
>you can see that one chipping on the yellow chest rim and the blob of paint or dust on the kneeWell the face is nicely painted so I guess I can forgive the other stuff It is not like you can avoiding things like this with pre-ordering online so that is a gamble tooAt least buying stuff at the store you can pick the best out of the shop (this is the only copy in the store)
>>11642617>>11642628To be fair, the toy does match Soundwave's character model sheet colors pretty well
>>11642464That, or they're literally built like the simple mold Targetmasters seen in Pointblank and Sureshot.
OkFor something funI happened to have the battle damage free version of the seige Soundwave on handAnd here is the comparison Yes I am including the boxes because you also paid for it. Here's the result versus my lunch from KFC
>>11642653The KFC was probably the best deal here
>>11642643Are you blind? You can literally zoom into the pic you quoted and tell how the headmasters are constructed.
Targetmasters are people too.Powermasters are people too.Headmasters are people too.Titanmasters are people too.Minicons are people too.Micromasters are people too.
>>11642653>Yes I am including the boxes because you also paid for it.This is doubly retarded since you're using the Legacy release of Siege Soundwave, which is when all the boxes were made out of flimsy card stock.
>>11642665Sure, but like... lesser people
>>11642665Minicons were made so cybertronians could mate with humans
>>11642464I hate how they took the face he had most often in the cartoon, the lighter gray one, and put the bottom half of the face on some sort of rolling-pin-like cylinder! There's no way that's gonna look anything but awful when plugged in as his head.
>>11642676yeah they didn't really think that one through. and there's no reason the cylinder can't simply be more of a chin.
>>11642676What I hate is that the faces no longer slide to hide the eyes, so Rook and Crosswise just have permanently glowy nipples.
>pants hanging off the side.
>>11642738>child on his dad's bike
>>11642610>Starscream in a setThat's gotta be BS
>Aw, don't blame me. Blame my upbringing.>Please stop sinning while I'm singing!>>11642170It works because it makes the song funnier.
>>11642738I've heard of parts-forming, but pants-forming?
>>11642750Oh no they turned him into an Energon Autobot
Here's to you, Nicola and Bart
>>11642738I hope DNA doesn't jst make articulated legs/arms for Rook/Crosswise and call it a day. I REALLY don't feel like designing/printing my own proper head boys.
Swindle looks good. Good looking team of bots, I usually leave Menasor/Superion/Devastator in combined modes but these guys will look good displayed together as individuals too.
new>>11642841>>11642841>>11642841
>>11642860fuck you
>>11642363is that a white version of sideswipe I see? Also, what sideswipe is that? Mine has battle damage on it.
>>11642738they do make pretty good guns>>11642739he's in scale with the wheels at least.
>>11643037That's Cordon, the white version of Sunstreaker. There is a white Sideswipe though, Clampdown.The Sideswipe is Kingdom.
>>11642605Probably because it's a voyager with extra accessories.
>>11642811They can't afford wrists or a clear windscreen but they can give somehow afford to give him a transforming trailer. Hasbro has weird priorities.
