Why did they make him a chud?
>>11651953swindle's always been a chud
"Not so Big" Convoy
>The Beastie Boys
>>11651953Chud accurate.>>11651886>That's the point - every new design is made with intentional flaws so they have an excuse to come back a few years later to remake itYou're nuts if you think they have any plans to revisit Big Convoy. Some updates are bad because they're trying to reinvent the wheel without understanding why these designs were made in a certain way the first time around. It's just incompetence, not some master plan.
>>11651968>fire convoy>is not on fireexplain this nips
>>11651968Canonically he's only 3mIt's his personality that makes him BIG
>>11651976>fire retard>posts on /toy/Explain this
Are the various retools and both the retro card and Legacy G1 Bumblebee the same size as the Netflix version? Or are they all super small even by the small mini bot deluxe scale size?
>>11651809I think the new Big Convoy still looks fine, but the big issue is mainly the shoulder kibble. On the original figure and the show model, the shoulder kibble added to his overall silhouette and gave the illusion of Big Convoy being a lot bigger than he actually was. The shoulder kibble on the new figure isn't just big enough and it's not in the right shape either
>>11652065once again a beast mode head is too small for both modes
>>11652065How do you make his shoulders as wide as possible and is this it
i wonder if we'll get a 3p version that fixes it but is in MP scale so he can't really replace this guy on a shelf...if so, I'll buy a repaint. Because who's to say he doesn't have an even bigger blue cousin or whatever? I can shelfcanon that as CHUG scale.but I feel like we kinda stopped getting those. Haven't seen a new one in ages.
>>11651976Fire (Firetruck) Convoy
>>11651891happy holidays my queens!
>>11652126*Merry Christmas
>>11652141It's not Christmas yet, Starscream you idiot
>>11652047Yes. Bumblebee, Gears and Outback are essentially just repaints of recent figures. They’re too small for my liking (especially with SS86 deciding that certain characters have to be huge now) but they’re the ‘correct’ size for the main Generations lines.
>>11651970Hasbros Down Syndrome Lio Convoy.....Some retard looked at this and went "yeah this is fine">>11652065Hes TOO wide. The OG toy still blows the shit out of this joke. It looks like a jpeg image that's been stretched.
>>11652156But are the legacy bumblebee figures (which are brand new molds) the same size as Netflix/four pack Bumblebees, bigger than them or smaller?
>>11652176I got Leo Prime a few months ago when he dropped to £7 and aside from the terrible lion head, I’d say he’s a decent toy. Decent enough that I’ve bought the Takara version for myself for Christmas.
G1 bros...not like this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6jerCXL1v0
This is just sad at this point
So, Shockwave gets his space laser gun mode?
>>11652201>bawww why current toys are more expensive than toys from 500000 years ago?? :(you can thank orange pedo for that
>>11652201>those flappy shell-parts on the old one>those legsyeah i like the new one better
>>11652201What kind of poses can the new one pull off that the old one was unable to?
>>11652204>tdsLol, schizo
>>11652206What's wrong with the legs?
>>11652201>worse colors>no ratchet joints>gimped cannon with retarded ladderCan we fire those hacks already?
>>11652209the design is bad overallcome on it's an old ass wobbly shellformer from one of the worst transformers era of toysThe new one looks more solid and he's not havin that annoying shitty "him i'm a 00s shell-former mess" kind of feel
>>11652201Worth noting that even when factoring inflation the left was still cheaper by about $25USD give or take. Even at Import price it wasn't anything near $50 back in 1999~2000.
>>11652213>worst erasStopped reading right there. Beast wars & its JP equivalents were definetly not that. It brought life to an nearly irrelevant franchise & the toys were great for the time.Either you're underage or a trukk not money fag
>>11652201after seeing how Black Convoy and then the Haslab God Convoy turned out I gave up on the newer toys being any good and just started working on the backlog. I get this shit is hard to do with modern budgets but the amount of phoning in is just too much for me.
>>11652220I'm actually a fan of beast warsbut that's 90s not 00s you zoomiealso your anime crap is not even Beast wars because nobody cares about these.
>>11652186You realise your saying that down syndrome lio convoy from Hasbro is so bad your buying the improved takara version to fix up their mistakes.>>11652201Point proven>>11652222Colors wrongProportions wrongsHead is tinyThin legsThin armsWorse than a 20+ year old toyHasbro being jewish charging nearly 80 for this
>>11652222Nice quads & its the best way to go. There are some good newer figures but they are few & far between.
>>11652226So you're retarded. Got it zoomer
>>11652229I actually don't hate the Legacy Laser Prime mould (I have Toxitron and think he's pretty nifty) but fuck did they mess up big time with Big Convoy. Might try and track down the OG on Mandarake or somewhere.
>takara gave the toy for free for PR>Couldn't bother to give one of the top JP toy channel a relatively good sample without the fucked up eye paintLike who dropped the ball here? >Vietnamese factory workers
>>11652237The visor seems painted fine to me. What are you talking about?
>>11652230>big convoy shitposter is brokenOh no i broke himdon't forget to cry about the price you poorfag, lmap
>>11652260
>>11652201New one is clearly going for a more anime vibe, which it does succeed at. I also like the old one, but if you breathe on him, he falls over. I think the only thing I don't like about the new one is the leg design where I would have preferred if it looked more Gundam-esque like the original. I hated the new one with a passion when I got him in hand, but when I woke up the next day, I found the value in him. He really does look just like the anime and for some reason he pictures like shit.I unfortunately sold my original Big Convoy a while back because one of his shoulder pauldron things broke at the ball joint.These comparisons of old though, and being all hyperbolic about it is fucking lame. You really don't have anything good to say about anything. And I don't mean you have to compliment anything, I just mean if the original came out today with no reference, you'd still be bitching about it, but since you have a new one to compare to in current day, you're going to be bitching about that one. You're always complaining and always will be.
She is correct
>>11652280>2017
>>11652275>New one is clearly going for a more anime vibe, which it does succeed atWhen in the show is he wide and overweight
I wish Takara milk the Lio Convoy mould and give us Black Lio Convoy, Dark Amber Leo Prime (this is the black body and silver mane color one), Galva Convoy, Flash Lio Convoy and the green one.
>>11652312I really want the green recolor version, after seeing the music video from Studio Trigger makes me really want that figure.
>>11652142it's not Christmas until Noddy Holder says it is
>>11652227>You realise your saying that down syndrome lio convoy from Hasbro is so bad your buying the improved takara version to fix up their mistakes.No shit, Sherlock. You figure that out by yourself?
I got the first of the three DNA upgrades for Devastator in. Not gonna lie I'm glad I did, the forearms for Bonecrusher help a lot and whilst installation is a bear (and the altered transformation is a bit fiddly) the freed up waist joint MASSIVELY improves the figure. Didn't bother with the booties though, they don't really do much.
>>11652206>>11652213Anon, the new legs are one of the worst parts compared to the old toy, what are you smoking. The lower half is just a front white panel of robot detail with huge ass hinges that look like ass and the rest is just folded mammoth bullshit. It's way more busy than the original, on that one there's the big panels with the missile launchers on each side for sure, but the back was super clean with the full front legs of the mammoth instead of a mass of folded pieces, and it actually had FULL robot legs instead of that single flat panel nonsense.
>>11652416i like the new chunky badass strong legs better it's a better figure overalli wont even touch any of 00s shellformers.It's all the same autistic faggot posting this comparison anyways so who the fuck cares. its already one of the best figures of 2026
>>11652437>i like the new chunky badass strong legs better
got myself an early Christmas Present
>>11652439he's stealing your beer
>>11652438eh..i'm okay with both of these. I MIGHT be talked into getting a recolor of this guy as his own guy
>>11652439Why did you open it before Christmas
>>11652439That's cool anon, but may I offer you another choice of beverage?
>>11652201the new one is better because I'm a poorfag and I'm too retarded to buy any toy older than 2 years old on ebayt. average tfw2005 poster
>>11652379I'm just waiting on the Hook and Long Haul double pack then I'm ready to build Devastator. Got the limb parts ready to go.
>>11652379I refuse to believe that DNA is not a Hasbro side hustle
>>11652439Is it the bad dragon you've left in the background near the books.....
Gen Z bros...not like this...youtube.com/watch?v=mtOfJgIhfCo&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D
>>11652501>Is it the bad dragon you've left in the background near the books.....top kek i tried to look hard on my own photo to fild any bad dragons but couldn't you might be a real BD-expert if you know how exactly those look likealso i don't have any books at that background, my fellow genZ anon. Those are DVD-discs
>>11652511I think they mean RID Megs.
The cool Scourge
>>11652465Kek. Funniest part is that I got the official Korean release of Big Convoy on ebay ten years ago, all accessories, instructions and card but without the box FOR 16 BUCKS. The guy was selling a good bunch in the same condition, I'm guessing the boxes got water damaged or something because the figure was clearly brand new.People who were too afraid of buying on ebay back then we're missing out so much it's unreal. That was the golden age of official Korean releases of Japanese robot toys being sold for extremely cheap prices, also got a brand new boxed Magmatron for 24 bucks before that, and a big ass Eldran robot in a fucked up box for roughly 20, new with the stickers still unapplied.
>>11652531ha, same. god bless that korean release. wish they had the recolors for the same price
>>11652310Have you watched a second of the anime? I'd say he is wide and squat for like 90% of the show save for a few scenes where they draw him slightly skinnier.
>>11652528Do those legs even kick forward?
Barricade's pretty neat - I like how you can cram all of his weapons onto his alt mode. Just wish he had wrists.
>>11652798
>>11652804Hopefully we get a BW Clawjaw out of him without the clear plastic
>>11652798that is pretty gnar. i liked barricade.>>11652799such excellent legs. wait, doesn't he normally have like, wheel hands?>>11652801>>11652802help me out, what are these? they're showing as deleted for me.
>>11652817>what are these? they're showing as deleted for me.NTA, but he posted his Quintus pics sideways, deleted them, and reposted them rotated correctly.
>>11652828oh so it's s'posed to be like thatnevamind
>>11652817>wait, doesn't he normally have like, wheel hands?He did (and a whole different head) up until TLK, which this is supposed to be a toy of. He got fucked up during the Battle of Chicago, and ended up looking very different after his repairs.
>>11652807No.Aside from both having tentacles they are nothing alike.
>>11652831ahhh got it, thanks.
>>11652798giving him twelve billion firepower is the funniest shit, and it's such a fun little feature. Truth be told, I like him more than I thought I would, even if I think the feet look a bit fucked, and would've liked him to have the original figure's brass knuckles.
>>11652848Yeah, that's also why he's blue instead of silver - dude basically got a whole new body in TLK, just like "Galvatron".>>11652857>would've liked him to have the original figure's brass knuckles.That would've been cool. On the plus side, though, they remembered his wrist taser, which you can clip on either arm, though it's unpainted (it was yellow in the movie). They gave this dude a small arsenal.
Turns out Vector Prime's minicon has been a lady this whole time
>>11652899Never saw the Unicron Trilogy - is Safeguard's gender ever mentioned on the show? Do they even speak at any point?
>>11652899Mine's a dude.
>>11652905/d/ is for /d/ickbots
>>11652900Safeguard is a complete non-character
Any chance that Big Convoy will shelfwarm?
>>11652919Hopefully not or Nemesis Prime will get fucked like Cryotek did.
>>11652920Hopefully yes so I can get him
>>11652919I expect so. I’m curious to see which shelf warms hardest between Big Convoy and Razorclaw.
>>11652924Razor Claw doesn't look nearly as bad as Big Convoy, even with his tiny head and hands.
