>>11702114We are so back.
https://youtu.be/SOF8n3-y_wE?si=hcmU3gXcwVIOUtGbHonestly Nexus could have been one of those Energon half combiners, then you just buy two to make a bigger Nexus. If it fails you only waste one toy slot and if it succeeds then you make the other Energon guys.
>>11702114>ton of paint apps, 2-3 plastic colors, shitload of details>fags on tfw: "eRm WhErE cOlOr? gRaY bAd"
>>11702114Ironhide looks nice. Alt mode is cool with the big chain gun on his back. Backout looks genuinely sick though and a day 1 pre-order.
Found T30 Cosmos and RID2001 Mirage for $3 each at a local place. Already have a Mirage, but I love me some Spychangers so I'm happy to have another one. First time handling Cosmos, man, this little dude is hella fun to mess with.
Was the paint coloring always this off from the plastic or has he just gotten worse in like the year I've had him?
>>11702191Always Hasbro has never gotten yellow right
Post planes and formations
>>11702230Ur bomber is the wrong colour
>>11702230SOVL
>>11702230I wish I had a version of that bomber guy. He's so cool.
>>11701403He appeared for 2 seconds like this in Armada for some reason. And no he wasn't in the Armada repaint colors.
>>11702276He was, I saw it last year. >remember this pic>feel urge to get Hogtron from two pack
So, is Nexus getting his own frame? How are they gonna sell that?
>>11702123Nexus should have incorporated every combiner gimmick >energon two-to-one>a trailer robot that turns into wings>and transformable combiner limbs that scramble city >and drone components like energon optimus>weapons are minicon combiners>armor like god ginrai >overload cannons and minicon head gimmick >then a headmaster on top of that minicon>rotf devastator wrecking ballsAnd etc.
>>11702336They will release G2 Silverbolt, also promote it as the frame for Nexus
>>11701930okay, the tism part is thinking that was an appropriate response though.At no point was I saying what they WILL do, but what I WANT them to do.
>>11702114More like OverGrey
>>11702362I hate that this is possible...not just possible but very likely.
>>11702362Maybe. That won't be something they can actually promote though. Evan said on the last stream that Hasbro won't allow them to show product from previous years on the packaging.
Nexus Prime’s revel as the most basic ass Cybertronian possible was an immaculate moment for the fandom.
>>11702362Well, at least the colors will match.
>>11702457I kinda like how normal he looks despite being a Prime. He is like the Bob Johnson of Primes
>>11702457The robot mode is the least offensive thing about Nexus, i'd go as far as saying I like it.
>>11702336They're going to release Nexus with a new bot head based on Heatwave nd a new combiner head based on FunPub, which includes Silverbolt's buttplug
>>11702457Yeah, I'm so amused by the whole thing. Two different groups of continuityfags and lore idiots got BTFO'd and I get another backgroud bot whenever this guy inevitably hits Ross here in like 2 years.
>>11702230Peak PotP
>>11702671Dreadwing probably genuinely was the peak of PotP.
I forgot how deep of a knee bend that you could get on this Megs. He poses well!
>>11702755The Optimus is excellent as well! Every one of his six wheels is pinned and rolls great. The spring action gun is a bit fiddly, but it still fits the part.
>>11702564>continuityfags and lore idiots got BTFO'd and I get another backgroud bot whenever this guy inevitably hits Ross here in like 2 years.>I eat shit and am glad people are mad and wont eat shitUhh good for you I guess
>>11702755Which Megs is this?
>>11702755>>11702764SOVL>>11702794Original WFC deluxe molds, TRU exclusive 3-pack colors
>>11702801>TRU exclusive 3-pack colorsThat explains it. I was looking at the WFC deluxe and it's way redder. I like him to be purple when he's non-G1 styled. Thanks!
>>11702794>>11702801>>11702814Yeah, they're built well and a joy to handle! I feel like a boomer saying it, but they really don't make them like they used to. Megs even has a spring loaded cannon, but mine didn't come with a missile. There is a color changing gimmick that, when the missile is inserted, the cannon changes colors by revealing different colored plastic along the sides.
>>11702203in fairness, it sometimes dries differently>>11702216man these are really inferior to the versions from my childhood but i'm still happy to see them.>>11702480That is a perfect way of putting it. Which is funny because Prima Prime is the most fitting NAME for that phenomenon
>>11702755having knees like that and NOT being able to ram them into someone's gut would be a fucking travestynow if his hips were just where they should be, instead of sitting way above the V of the crotch.>>11702864i love panel gimmicks like that, I just wish they more often used chrome/foil/fluorescents for it. also we really need to bring back holograms, you hear me? BRING EM BACK.
>>11702915Missing Link Energon Grimlock
>>11702926Cool. This'll make three toys of her I have, but oh well.
>>11702932>>11702935Gone are the days of big tittied with micro bikinis huh
>>11702930it is downright bizarre to see such an oldfashioned, cartoony spider toy in 2026. Looks like the old 'spider-slayers' from the 90s. and what the fuck is that backpack thing even supposed to be?though since the spider legs are on her arms, i guess you could swing them further forward to get the legs lined up properly?
>>11702915Now that just ain't right.
>>11702926That's fucking awful.
>>11702942The backpack thing is a separate weapon you can remove and give to whoever you want. Funny enough, it looks like a redeco of Chop Shop's weapon; he was a bug too.
>>11702950why is it so.. thick and wide? it looks like the only valid part of it is the gun barrel and the pincery thing that isn't really able to pince anything... well okay, the other side kind of can, and it looks like the gun barrel turns into a ... key? on that side? like a battle-key. or a really, really thick and serrated dagger.you know, the funny thing is, with the separate 'head' and the legs coming out of the main body, it kinda looks like more of a tick. Granted, that 'head' doesn't have eyes, it's just jaws that protrude like meat flaps.
>>11702930Man I would've preferred if the bots themselves had a third weapon mode. That way we'd have more unofficial Targetmaster/Mini-Cons to use.
>>11702940Yeah, there's zero sexiness too her, but at least the spider mode is nice and cool. But her head looks really weird, it looks so unfitting with the rest of the body. It's so FLAT in the back, and you could literally replace it with any random bot head and it would probably fit the body's style more..>>11702942>>11702950Yeah, the weapon is just Chop Shop's in a different color. It could change between a hammer and axe, and can disassemble to form bug wings and a weapon for his alt mode. It's actually really cool for him, not much for her.
>>11702958Its a snapping claw.
>>11702965>but at least the spider mode is nice and cool. really? with the legs comin right out of the body like that>But her head looks really weird, it looks so unfitting with the rest of the body. It's so FLAT in the back, and you could literally replace it with any random bot head and it would probably fit the body's style more..ahh transmetal tigatron's styles are back! I would say a more obvious issue is the high collar above her shoulders. that totally screws up the head placement feel>hammer and axe>blades come off and can plug in elsewhereohhhh okay, i rescind most of my criticism.>>11702969this is just doofy though. BEWARE, MY DEADLY LUNCHBOX OF PAIN!
>>11702940Airachnid was always flat, you're thinking of Blackarachnia
>>11702928>Energonhuh?
>>11702997Look up the 2004 Energon Grimlock.
>>11703001Anon, that's literally g1 toon grimlock
>>11703011Well, not fictionally.....Except when it was.
>>11703031Sorry anon, I don't get the joke
>>11703036The toy represents a version of Grimlock that exists in the Unicron Trilogy universe.Then when Age of Extinction came out Hasbro re-released it in brighter colors and packed it with Bay Grimlock, calling it the G1 guy this time.
>>11702926>Airachnid>Is a land spider
>>11703043The first one had spider and helicopter modes. The name stuck.
>>11703043you'd rather she be a spiderwasp? from Sliders?
>>11702295Transmetal Rhinox appeared in the cutscenes of the Transmetals PSX game.
>>11702926The boxart has an attractive face, but the toy itself isn't very good looking.
>>11703099yeahhh that packaging is really overly flattering. kinda like the old beast wars package art
>>11702457I'm cool with it knowing it's part of a combiner, but I'll have to wait and see what the full combiner actually looks like before I buy it.
>>11702990She was not as flat as a board, her body Looked like shes wearing a crop top and a loincloth
>another Prime Cliffjumper>still not as good as the first edition Prime Cliffjumper from almost 15 years ago
>>11703106Kinda gay they couldn't have all the parts ready at the same time, since the 13 was the whole fucking point of the line.
>>11703175I keep saying that I don't understand the point of Generations figures for any toys made after Armada. Articulation was already pretty good from Energon on. Oh boy you get ankle tilts now, but lose all the other features that made the original toy fun. You're better off tracking down the original figure on Ebay
lmao
>>11703186>>11703187Jesus fucking christ that's brutal
>>11703175I don't know about that. FE Cliffjumper had some gorilla proportions.
lol
>>11702881A man of culture as well, I see
>>11703186>>11703187>>11703198>>11703199both of these look good except for AOTP Cliff's fuckugly face t b desu
>>11703178ironically it's probably those toys that would make the best Missing Links
>>11703199current designers really only know two kinds of thighs, don't they>>11703210Wouldn't it be fun just as a little pattern on the body? maybe a holographic understructure, maybe the eyes.. i don't know if it's cheaper to do them smaller or what.
>>11703186>>11703187>>11703198>>11703199God, I want to go back.
I'm surprised they never did a redeco of Siege Apeface. I like him but imagining him without the cloudy milky plastic and siege battle damage to match Snapdragon in Earthrise would be an instant buy (even if they make him a Leader now)
>>11703234>60 dollars for apeface fuck no I don't care if the plastic is literally made from god's beard hairs and makes me cum while handling it I'm not paying sixty bucks for apefaceunless he includes like three mini-cons
>>11703235so basically what they did for soundwave?
>>11703198>>11703199Didn't even use the right head for it. This is the REAL Cliffjumper head, not that Rise of the Dark Spark nonsense.
>>11702930>Machine gun jubblies? How did I miss those?
>>11702930>Tfw you grab a chick's tits and they suddenly grab you backSeriously, pedipalp tits with a machine gun hidden in the cleavage is such a bizarre design decision.
>>11703040>>11703036 #>The toy represents a version of Grimlock that exists in the Unicron Trilogy universeNo, the toy represents Grimlock in the colors he had in the G1 cartoon, with the first release being based on his original toy colors. The Unicron Trilogy one was a reference to the OG, but that's not what this is supposed to be.This is exactly the same thing they did with Optimus and (to an extent) Arcees (who never had a G1 toy but did have an unreleased prototype that they based it on).
>>11703293anon... where do you think tits are?
>>11703176You'd think they would have had the sense to push Bruticus to the 2027 line and have the combiner Prime completed in the Age of the Primes line. That would make sense to anyone with half a brain but this is Hasbro we're talking about.
>>11703295Jesus H .Christ, anon >>11703040 is talking about the Energon toy not ML. Pay attention.
I often think about how weird it is to see SS86 figures sitting in Target. These are figures of a random 80s animated movie that only a small group even cares about, but also one of my favorite movies ever. There are even stills from the movie printed on the box and it's just there, physically, in every store across America. Sometimes life's funny like that.
>>11702123>Energon revivalHUGE if true
>>11703186>>117031875mm ports were a mistake
What has been the best year for Transformers?
>>11703340Actually I think he was talking about bothHe's saying the g1 AoE redeco of energon grimlock is the same as this reveal of g1 toon grimlock for missing link
>>11703340You're the one who needs to pay attention - he was saying the new colors for ML Grimlock were a reference to the Energeon toy, which isn't the case. The ML's supposed to be his G1 cartoon colors - which is the same thing the Energeon toy was referencing, but this release has nothing to do with that.
>>11703365
>>11703372You are so fucking stupid it's literally painful for me to have to read your posts.>>11702928 was obviously making a joke that ML toon Grimlock sort of looks like Energon Grimlock, not that it was based on it.>>11703040 was giving context for the joke. You fucking moron.
>>117033632010 right before the OPEC oil scare. Mainline toys had as much parts budget as current MPs.
>>11703377Yes, I know it’s stupid but that’s what he was doing>>11703382>obviouslyIf you say so
>>11703363Dunno, but I am loving the Missing Link line and Nucleon Quest Prime so last year was pretty good
>>11703389Current MPs also have as many parts as mainline toys.
>>117033631984 is the obvious answer. You can't really top the initial success Transformers had.2010 was another great year for the brand. The movies had made a ton of money and Hasbro funnelled it into the toys. HFTD and RTS were great lines.
