What do you think of the new Studio Series 86 reveals?Previous:>>11702114
>>11709532The redesign of Shockwave when his gun mode is flipped upside down in the stock photo makes him look like the Space Battleship Yamato.
This is going to be the first transformer I bought since kingdom
>>11709548I thought canonically he wasn't a transformer?
>>11709566in the movie he doesn't transform.In the marvel comic he does
>>11709548I really like that his alt mode is the concept from the Marvel comic version of the movie.
>>11709548>after Quintesson Judge>after Sharkticons>after general-series barely movie related characters>after deadformersHe was the bottom of the barrel. But the sand at the bottom of hell... is magic sand.
>>11709532Triple Changers were a mistake.Change my mind.
>>11709576Rotf Mixmaster is a quadruple changer and is the best design in that movie.
>>11709532Skywarp is the only good one. Wheeljack and Sunstreaker would be good too if they weren't repacks of figures I bought already. Kranix is nice in robot mode but his vehicle mode is a mess. Shockwave would be OK if he wasn't shorter than the SS86 new molds. Astrotrain is pain.
>>11709576T30 Springer are two of my favorite transformers ever made, so nahIt’s rare that Hasbro gets them right though
>>11709532if your knees can't touch your chestyour proportions didn't get done the best
>>11709576they're too irresistable to resist. Even if, just like combiners, they ALWAYS result in inferior toys.That said, I saw a 3P thing today that was a fucking rad robot panther that turns into a fucking real-life-accurate sports car and then a decent jet mode, better than most transformer jets, just some kibble but not that much. No idea how it's possible, fucking chinese voodoo magic where you have to rub the livers of like six endangered species on it..
>>11709573How long until these literal bundles of scrap get something
>>11709610Might be hard since they're based on Gundam designs, so Bandai might get involved.
>>11709566Yeah he is
>>11709573I want this guy, assuming he even has a character model somewhere.
>>11709576Wrong
>>11709573Don’t forget, we’re probably going to get Arblus as well>>11709610If you wanted to, you could get some Gundam model kits and just not assemble them
>>11709576Just do better
>>11709636If Hasbro used this design and gave it a fire truck alt mode it would be the perfect Sentinel Prime for me
>>11709532Is this mistransformed? Please tell me they forgot to flip those chest panels down.
>>11709644that's like the best triple changer on the entire transformers market
>>11709638And yet no gigastorm
>>11709656If HasTak were smart, they’d make a new Megastorm that comes with a piece that snaps onto Gen Selects Trypticon for his horn, but I know that’s never happening
>>11709532Is this a new mode or just Siege Astrotrain with new paint job, effect parts and no gratuitous caboose/launch pad?
>>11709532this is genuinely one of the worst fucking transformers ive ever seen and im puzzled why Hasbro felt the need to remake it so early
>>11709667new mold, I just noticed the box uses the siege alt mode renders
Nu-astrotrain feels like legacy blitzwing situation where they tried to reinvent the wheel for no fucking reason and in doing so fucked up the whole thing. Those g1 transformations are already perfect, even uber complex turd parties replicate them. They had that shit figured out in diaclone and these retards still think they know better!It's especially frustrating this time because because the ER mold ALREADY EXISTS!!! AND IT USES HIS CLASSIC TRANSFORMATION!!! If they just cleaned it up and made him slimmer it would be PERFECT! But no, let's do this bullshit.Even legacy shitwing at least had a good robot mode, jesus lmao
>>11709667Could be an extensive remold. The legs and back wings look very much like Siege's
>>11709636those arm guns had better be aimable in-universe, because if they're as rigid as the toy, one set is gonna blow up the set in front of it.
>>11709644robot mode is a hell of a lot betterchoochoo mode is about the sameshuttle mode is uncircumcised which will probably help it with re-entry, but..
>>11709649indubitably. look at the lil tabs and tab-holes
>>11709684>shuttle mode is uncircumcised which will probably help it with re-entry, but..That's literally what he looks like anon
>>11709716well then I guess it's all about if you want show accuracy or designer intent
>>11709717>if you want show accuracyIt's toy accurate tooThe point its this is 86 Astrotrain
>>11709532Kinda disappointed Shockwave will be small next to the new 86 cons.
i've had a finished custom just sitting here for days now and I don't feel motivated to take pics and show you guys. weird feeling.>>11709719kay.
>>11709532I honestly don't understand this toy. They took asteotrain, gave it the full leader budget so it could get a more accurate look, only to end up with a worse looking toy in almost all aspects AND it's not 86 accurate, pleasing no one.Also, those leg hinges are embarrassing
>>11709751i just realized i've been praising the sleeker shuttle mode while not looking at the rear half. I'm a perfect Hasbro patsy. no, this is thoroughly bad.
>>11709751I don't know how much of it is accurately transformed
>>11709532There is so much wrong with this figure it’s nearly unbelievable
>>11709548I knew this would be a great figure from the moment its name appeared in the leaks. There’s just no reason to make a toy of such an obscure character unless you have a very specific design idea.
Titans Return/Legend wins again
>>11709771Wins what?
>>11709683Well, one, the back set is raised slightly above the front set, so there's plenty of clearance. Two, they're clearly on turrets similar to the artillery cannons you see on a battleship, so they're definitely implied to be able to turn side-to-side and raise their barrels up and down regardless.
>>11709717It's '86 Astrotrain. The whole point is show accuracy.
>>11709776>Wins what?
>>11709192>Dec 2018 >Siege Shockwave >Leader class >retailing around $45>July 2026 >Studio Series Shockwave >Voyager class >retailing around $45I'll say it plainly: If this version of the Siege Shockwave sells well the masses have told Hasbro they will stomach $60 Voyagers and $100 Leaders so long as they are Geewun.
>>11709771Unironically Siege DCS remains the best actually
Well it's hereWhat should I think of it>Going to open it tomorrow at home
>>11709566I mean, you can hardly call that thing an alt mode.
>>11709832He morphed a lot.
Very UT looking
>>11709858A military truck is definitely something Optimus would've transformed into but not going to lie I was copium that it would be an Overgear version of Energon Optimus and that there'd be drones that would combine with him. Oh well, I still like what I see and it'll be fun to weaponize him to hell and back.
>>11709872I think Overgear are just reimagined versions of bayformers anon
>>11709784Soundwave has proven they can rape the customers with a smile.
>>11709858>Very UT lookingDefinitely not, the TF fan base lacks exposure to other mecha series outside of just their American TFs. Any mecha-esque design is considered UT to them. I would say Overgear has its own style that doesn't resemble anything else, although some people might say it resembles Armored Core or Diaclone Reboot.
>>11709878I think its closest to DiacloneAt the very least they gave it the same animated trailer and lore blurbs
>>11709875Nah it's a hodgepodge, like look at Ironhide. Color scheme kind of a mix between his G1 colors and the grey draped over it which is close but not quite black like his Bayformer counterpart. His vehicle mode closely resembles his Bayformer version but with an extended rear end and his head design is basically Energon Ironhide but wearing a different helmet. His personality is also closer to Energon Ironhide only by going off on his partner 'Jones' and the only 'Jones' out there in Transformers is Kicker Jones.
I rescind my Kranix statement
>>11709878Look at the shoulders anon, it is UT looking>>11709882It’s literally bayformers designed to be super robots instead of bayformers
>>11709676can't wait to see the trainwreck SS Blitzwing is.
>>11709771Titans return has the worst trainmode
>>11709532>Should we give other neglected guys new toys?>Nah, lets do Astrotrain again and totally fuck him up this time. Pass the coke.
>>11709894Both alt modes are badThey’re just roughly shapes
>>11709896>Should we make a new Shockwave?>Nah, just release the older siege mold for the 5th time with a pink stripe on the gun. >and you know what? Let's just take already made Sunstreaker and Wheeljack to fill out a wave>Oh! and make Kranix one per case.
>>11709894>>11709897I like them well enough for OCs like Sentinel but yeah for Astrotrain they just look all wrong.
>>11709888>Look at the shoulders anon, it is UT lookingThe shoulders may be similar to Galaxy Convoy's, but the overall design is unique. If the truck nose points upward, it will resemble the Laser Prime that we have seen countless times, which people may also compare to Armada Convoy's design.
>>11709900It’s movie Prime UTified, same with Ironhide and Blackout Next they’ll show Barricade I bet
>>11709858The truck will definitely not be bright red and blue, those colors will certainly be accent colors in the robot mode only. What do you all think the color of the truck will be?
>>11709894There's just no way it could roll.
>>11709901>It’s movie Prime UTifiedI don't see any resemblance from the movie design and the UT design. They definitely take minor design inspiration from Blackout, with the rotor sitting at his back like a cape. As for Ironhide, having his vehicle mode as a pickup truck, and the pickup truck's front splits to form his shoulders. However, Optimus has zero movie design attributes other than using a long-nose truck.
>T-sparks/Toyrise livestream>https://www.youtube.com/live/o8d7nHV5pssthank god they put it on youtube and dropped the whole "tik TOK" video format
>>11709905Probably navy blue.
Apparently Shockwave can become a shoulder cannon for Bruticus
Didn’t we just get a decent Astrotrain a couple years ago?We’re still waiting on Octane and Broadside!
If Overgear is a callback to Energon/Superlink with movie design elements, then they must include the these in their line: Hotshot, Truck Rodimus, Prowl, Thunderblast, Snowcat, Scorponok, Satellite Shockwave (Shockblast), and train/submarine Omega Supreme.
>>11709926What the fuck? That's actually really neat. Now I have an incentive to buy the upcoming Shockwave since I never had the original Siege toy.
>>11709932Other way round anonMovie bots with with UT callbacksI fully expect to see a Brawl/Demolisher in the line
>>11709926Damn, that's actually pretty cool. Can Siege Shockwave do it too, or did they modify the mold so only SS86 Shockwave can do it?
Are you ready to admit that SS86 was a mistake yet?
>>11709926Man I miss these type of combinations, where a bigger than normal bot like a Voyager or so would combine with a bigger bot like Optimus and Leobreaker in Cybertron. This seems like a strange thing to do especially since Bruticus used Shockwave as a handheld gun and not a shoulder cannon.
>>11709932Also, a B2 Bomber Wing Saber would fit, as the general theme of Overgear is realistic military vehicles.
>>11709926I pray you can still have Shockwave and Blast Off combined on that same arm. Despite the setbacks, this one little detail is redeeming Bruticus in my eyes.
>Livestream press about upcoming toys >Have a fucking female cosplayer (or a VA) as part of the hostWhy are they keep doing this?You don't need a woman for stuff like this
>>11709947She is cute so no complaint from me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U62UyYw7ekHOLY CRINGE
>>11709953killing optimus prime was pretty much the coolest thing sunbow ever did.
>>11709936Let's not go in that extreme, SS86 has a lot of great original molds, and only 2 shitty ones (Steeljaw and Astrotain). It's lack of consistency is what made it bad, especially the lazy reuses of WFC and Legacy molds degrading S86's aesthetic style (or lack thereof).Starscream and Cliffjumper can be forgiven since they'll get new molds this yearSpringer and Shockwave had some necessary retooling done to them, so there at least there was an attempt madeBlaster, Eject, Ratbat, and Hound were already good enoughSunstreaker and Wheeljack the offensive reuses, with no attempts to make them look betterExpect a HasLab Unicron made-to-order repaint, let's see how well that will go...
>DCS Jetfire Combinekinda neat
>>11709965better pic
This is a leak regarding Hasbro's decisions on Transformers:2024 40th anniversary of 84 G12025 41th anniversary of 84 G12026 40th anniversary of 86 G1 Movie2027 43th anniversary of 84 G1 (remake)2028 44th anniversary of 84 G1 (remake)2029 45th anniversary of 84 G1 (remake)2030 44th anniversary of 86 G1 Movie (remake)2031 45th anniversary of 86 G1 Movie (remake)2032 46th anniversary of 86 G1 Movie (remake)
>>11709959>SS86 has a lot of great original moldsLike what? Hot Rod? Aaaaand...? The funny part is that any good mold in SS86 would immediately be made better by getting a repaint in another line without the retarded sunbow decos that get the colors wrong half the time anyway.
>>11709953Hell yeah, I'll be there. I thought I lost my chance forever after missing the first one.
>>11709971>2024: 40th of G1 1984, 38th of G1 1986>2025: 41th of G1 1984, 39th of G1 1986>2026: 42th of G1 1984, 40th of G1 1986>2027: 43th of G1 1984, 41th of G1 1986>2028: 44th of G1 1984, 42th of G1 1986>2029: 45th of G1 1984, 43th of G1 1986>2030: 46th of G1 1984, 44th of G1 1986>2031: 47th of G1 1984, 45th of G1 1986>2032: 48th of G1 1984, 46th of G1 1986
>>11709972>Aaaaand...?You're a disingenuous retard. Optimus, Megatron, the Dinobots (maybe except Slag and Swoop), Ironhide/Ratched, Brawn, Perceptor, Ultra Magnus, Jazz, Bumblebee, the SweepsYeah maybe they aren't all 10/10 toys or super accurate (especially Megatron), but they still look great, with decent posing and great transformations (some cases of faux forming are infuriating tho, I am not going to lie)Again, not perfect, but in no world are they bad or mediocre (thats Arcee, Kup, Blurr, Gnaw, etc.), bi range from good to great
>>11709947This isn’t the first time they’ve done something like this. They had Chris Sabat on the Victory Saber HasLab for some reason
>>11709978nah, all those are shit, faggot.
>>11709958>Toei AnimationYou notice the art is better and the animation is smoother
>>11709953the circlejerking over this movie has gotten so obnoxious my god
>>11709973I love Jhiaxus, he is my friend
>>11709971>>11709977It's incredible that people won't get fatigued and will consume the same slop over and over again for decades and still go strong.
>>11709983Sunbow, along with Marvel Productions, is the company that commissioned Toei for the G1 cartoon
>>11709858Now we'll see if they announce a helicopter, drill, submarine, and fire truck. We'll see if they have the guts
>Astrotrain has unpainted abs>Shockwave is the Siege mold so he's too short next to Megatron and Soundwave>Skywarp has black shoulders so the deco is more toy accurate despite the toon moldMan, the aesthetics of SS86 are all over the place. This was so much simpler when the line was just WFC/Legacy adjacent.
>>11709958I find it strange that only Optimus' death turned him niggerified but others don't.
>>11709998First of all>niggerifiedWhat black people do you know that are slate grey? Secondly, Starscream also turned grey before disintegrating
>>11709866Blaster!!! (ugly crying) I can't believe you finally got a Masterpiece!!!>>11709926Okay, so apparently, that pic came from Singapore of all places, and as soon as NYTF revealed all these Spring wave stuff, they suddenly pulled out everything they got (Liege Maximo, Shockwave and Skywarp among them), and then retracted them a few hours later. Someone out there somehow took a picture of the instructions showing how Shockwave can combine with Bruticus, and then Twitter suddenly went all Might Gunner with the guy. That's how we got here in the insanity department.
>>11710001Nigger just means black in Latin.
>>11709936No.Without SS86 we wouldn't have gotten Kingdom, it would have been just another year of a G1-only toyline. As would Legacy and AOTP. If nothing else, SS86 gave Hasbro an outlet for G1 that allowed for other series to appear in other toylines. For that reason alone it was worth it.
>>11710001This coloration is why I want an Atari the size of a Diaclone pilot right now. Remember the one incident where Starscream possessed her during her EDC member days? Also, the F15E shape hid the "dead corpse" coloration of Starscream all the way back in his very first Masterpiece, and the Atari-scream incident was promoting that toy.
>>11709858Tards who weren't even around for the Unicron Trilogy just calling any Overgear toy they see UT now huh
>this is banned in america
>>11710025But it's legal in Australia!
>>11710025I don’t think Shockwave was ever actually banned, since his alt mode is a laser pistol. We’ve never gotten a reissue because HasTak don’t have the rights to the mold>>11710027Actually, Australian laws are even more strict than American ones when it comes to replica firearms
>>11710025Somehow Shockwave is what convinced me to get Bruticus. I just love stupid combinations like mounting an entire robot that turns into a gun on a shoulder.
>>11710025They actually do advertise the blaster mode on the box.
>>11709972Hot Rod, Grimlock, and the new seeker mold are the only SS86 figures I’ve been legitimately impressed withEverything else ranges from “just ok” to “bad”
>>11710031Then where was his original mold from? No way it's Toyco or ToyBox.
>>11710033>makes sure to include a screenshot of Shockwave next to Soundwave to remind everyone he's shorterkek
>>11710035He is from ToyCo, but the current rights holders are unknown
Any rumors or news an a new version of transformers animated sound wave?
>>11710034Wreck-Gar is pretty decent
>>11710045There are no rumors of transformers animated anything. Wait for the 2027 toyline to leak.
>>11710043Shit... Some random Chinese would wind up owning the Shockwave molds, but it may also be lost all the same.
>>11710045No, though I think the Crankcase mold would be the best bet if they were to make a new one
>>11710020
I've never owned any version of the ROTF Leader Prime mold before. Goddamn this looks great.
>>11709532They will post photos of his boob flaps properly folded down, and he will look perfectly fine. It's like you guys are addicted to outrage even when it makes you look like idiots. Seriously, first time you've seen Hasbro mistransform something for stock photos? This IS one of the worst examples in a while, though.>>11710090That's not RotF Leader Prime or anything derived from it. That's just the old SS Optimus with a better paintjob. (And, he's a pretty bad mold who's already confirmed to be getting a new mold in 2027, they're just milking this one while they still can last-minute).
>>11710099We have pictures of his boob flaps down, that's a very small issue on a figure that looks like shit as a whole
>>11710020Primus I can’t wait for this.
>>11710104He's been taking that Astrozempic I see
>>11709907this is literally buildaioh
I know he's not popular enough for it, but Astrotrain should be commander class.
>>11709532Not gonna lie, I don't think I'll be replacing my Siege Astrotrain or Starscream with these guys. Just nah. Same with Sunstreaker and Wheeljack. Sorry Hasbro, you just didn't do enough for me to want to upgrade, and Astrotrain outright looks worse.
>>11710118Build DaiOh is meant to be two trains
>>11710033>>11710025>retool it.>still no trigger or sight and the feet still don't fold up.
>>11710036they look the same height. check the shoulders. Shocky's head is just flatter.
>>11710120Redo Broadside first
>>11710138I’m curious if they’ll make Broadside a Titan or not
>>11709548I was only planning on adding power glide but I'll make room for this guy.
>>11710152they'll never redo Broadside again
>BBTS email saying Breakdown reissue is processing soonfucking finally I can complete Menasor
lmao what's wrong with his face
Fucking finnaly, why did that take so long.
>>11710263Doesn't look like enough of an upgrade to replace my Comic Edition.
>>11710270Comic was way too light purple.
>>11710273Worth it for the shading effects though.
>>11710020The snowcone matrix is not worth $125. The gray handle looks so cheap the track to pull it apart should have been on the back wall so you don't see those ugly struts and the core should look like >>11709099
>>11710280But it plays Stan Bush when you open it.
>>11710031woosh
>>11709532>toonerslopyou actually think that astrotrain looks appealing to me? I don't know where you get your delusions.
>>11710286I have changed my mind.
>>11710263Considering the only other Shockwaves I own are the Siege Galactic Man one and the Bumblebee Movie one, I'll probably end up getting this guy just to have a 'proper' version of him. I still don't think he's different enough from the Siege mold, and he's definitely not worth the price (dude has less stuff than Siege despite being the same price), but it is what it is.
A new iteration of Astrotrain could transform into a bullet train. The transformation from a bullet train to a shuttle or jet is the easiest.
>>11710263Looks like he still has all the ports to use the Siege spaceship pieces. He doesn't have the shoulder ports to use the extra arms in robot mode, though.
>>11709933Looking between them >>11710025 >>11710365, it looks just different enough that I bet siege won't fit
>>11709532Fuck hope, buy Siege.
>>11709671>so earlySiege was 7 years ago.
>>11710397Based
>>11710361Have you never seen classics Astrotrain? It's exactly that.
>>11709576On a retail budget, i.e. a scout-sized deluxe produced for 2 cents and sold for 200 dollars, they are, but if you give it a little more effort they are great.I still remember when this entire board was dicksucking T30 Springer and T30 Sandstorm, both triple changers. And for good reason, those toys made Thrilling 30 worth it.
>>11710397Got him for voyager prices and don't regret it one bitHe's buried in a box somewhere but still
>>11709610>risking the wrath of Namco-Bandai
>>11709858Lots of people are seething, but the transformation of the torso along with many elements parallels Cybertron Prime
>>11710104yikes
>>11710397those go on your feet, Astrotrain.
>>11710337Wait, that Shockwave is Leader priced?
>>11710415All Voyagers are now Leader priced.
>>11710416fucking highway robbery
>>11710007Not really as Legacy and AoP have been irredeemable dog shit with the non BW/G1 garbage we had to endure shitting up shelves so badly, that stores didn't even bother stocking the SS G1 stuff
>>11710417Deluxes are now Voyager priced, Voyagers are Leader priced, Leaders are Commander priced, and so on. Please understand.
>>11710397*DCS
>>11710416>>11710424>Does that mean they brought back Core class? >No.
I actually want to see what SS86 Astrotrain looks like outside this Alternators Wheeljack stock photo-tier mistransformation.
>>11710432We'll get pics of it on display this weekend.
>>11710424I'm going back to spending all my money on booze
>>11710439Booze is temporary, Transformers are forever, mostly because they’re made out of plastic
>>11710397Did, complete waste of money
>>11709532>>11709716>>11709771>>11710104Hey my fuckwads, I threw this together for you guys.Before someone asks, the watermark is Because it was annoying when people on other sites credited reposters for making them.
>>11709935The molds are different. >>11709942There's no reason to say they can't be combined at the same time.
>>11710443>Laughs in gold plastic syndrome
>>11709548I couldn't tell why at first but this figure gives me so much nostalgia. First I thought maybe because of the color combination. Kinda looks like a vintage toy... Maybe it's the quality of the plastic? But then I realized, it's the screws! It has screws like a vintage figure. Don't know why but it makes me so happy.
>>11710448Apologize.
>>11710448I might add the classics/Henkei one later but no promises.
>>11710453I'm sorry you sold me a shit toy.
>>11709548The one on the left is Jizaitoys’ custom, because Kranix doesn’t exactly have a plethora of toy representations.Here’s his print which he’ll never sell or share the files on because you live in hell and there is no God:https://jizaitoys.seesaa.net/article/490995782.html
>>11710445Nice Lemon>>11710448DCS still the king for sureShow that one too
>>11710454>>11710448He's so beautiful
>>11710462SPARE ME THIS MOCKERY OF JUSTICE
I honestly think Hasbro needs to slow down and condense the brand a little. Make a new cartoon that's actually good, aim it all ages instead of toddlers, and make a solid, extensive toyline for it instead of giving it scraps left over from generations. At the same time, scale back generations with a focus on fewer, better toys instead of the quantity of trash they've been putting out.
>>11709629>>11709638>>11709833>>11710462Mr. John Hasbro you have the opportunity to do something so funny.And I mean, look, you’re going to run out of 86 Movie characters and redecos eventually, so…
>>11710480I swear one of these days when I’m better at CADing, I’m just going to recreate these designs and print them out for myself. (Kind of like people did with his Mecha-Christ, until he presumably told the to stop selling his intellectual property or something.)https://jizaitoys.seesaa.net/article/511256838.html#more
>>11710467>DCS>>11710454It’s the one on the left.
>>11709548So you're telling me that at any time during the trial, Kranix could have turned into a jet a flown away?
>>11710505No. it was just a concept that was never used in the show or even comic.
>>11709777ah okay. wasnt sure by looking>>11709778I guess. I prefer if you can get as close to show accuracy as possible, while fixing anything even theoretically interpretable as a mistake in the original.
>>11710505Even assuming that can you sure he is powerful enough to escape planetary gravity?
>>11709872can you please speak in 20th century english
>>11710505>>11710511>>11710516And you clowns are assuming that mode can even do anything meaningful. He could just be a hoverboard and can't lift off more than several feet off the ground.
>>11710505Not any time, only when it's funny.
>>11709897i like them, but they're obviously not real vehiclesby cybertronian vehicle modes, i think they're great.
>>11710528There were go. That's the response I was looking for. Well done, anon.
>>11710511Actually it was used in the original Marvel movie comic adaptation, where Kranix transforms to escape Unicron instead of using a ship.
>>11709953I thought this was pretty funny.when I was growing up, companies would NEVER talk about this stuff.
Some videos showing the transformation on the overgear figures have cropped up on youtube. https://youtu.be/q-X7LSx017E?si=pWrkYEC-gXSM9lV0Bothe figures appear, but no size comparisons.
>>11710573First that is much larger than I thought it would be. And second everything about that robot mode is amazing.
MPG Soundwave's cassettes.
>>11710580Comes with all 5? I'll get one to just resell then
>>11710582Look closer, anon.
>>11710573>Bothe figures appear, but no size comparisons.We're probably going to be waiting until they release before we get any comparisons. Takara will want to disguise that they're selling $100+ voyagers as best they can.
>>11709890That one is apparently just a repack or slight recolor.
>Earthrise, Studio, SeriesThis is a pretty mediocre comparison edit, and there’s a bunch of rodeo variants I could have included, but I can’t really be arsed. There’s probably already a better one floating around somewhere anyways.
>>11709610Just paint a Rick Dias and Galbaldy like an adult
>>11709977what time do you not go to the dentist?forty-tooth
>>11710006
>>11710020wait is that how it works? it's not fingers wrapped around the sides?>>11710031indeed. friend of mine got fucked hard because he bought one of those guns that shoots orbeez. and he bought it from an online store IN AUSTRALIA so, nice job, retards. And since they busted him, he can't leave the country. If anything you should ENCOURAGE people to leave your country if they break your precious goofball laws. Problem is they know everyone would leave.
>>11710076The old ways are remembered>>11710104they really just make all torsos either too long or too short, don't they.
>>11710361that's kind of an insulting triplechanger though>>11710401somehow not as insulting as this, though>>11710408they will fuckin TIGER BLADE you
>>11710448he looks like his drawers is drooping, like one o' them rapper sorts.
>>11710452i always liked whenever a pair of screws faced forward and were on, say, the shoulders, so I could imagine those as extra blasters
>>11710477That's also kinda what everyone needs to be doing.>>11710528hehehe
>>11710573I'm too poor for this but it looks so cool
>>11710576what are you seeing that >>11710586 isn't?
>>11710634It feels like Hasbro has so many divisions that don't communicate that just do whatever the fuck they want. Even in the smaller parts of it like how individual toys in ss86 can be inconsistent.
Don't know if anybody has mentioned this yet but SS86 Astrotrain likely comes with three of those pink blast effects, one for each thruster of the space shuttle mode.
>>11710597SS86 wins for sureIt's literally a mini MP-52
I worked real fucking hard on this for a real long time for it to look this shitty once photographed. Why so blurry? Why am I seeing streaks now I never saw before? whatever.The camera is also really not capturing how vibrant the clear-indigo-over-silver is, but it's fucking nice in person. I've wanted to do this one forever, it was just hard to get clear cool-gray paint.Weirdly, it obliterated the stripes on his tiger thighs, and ONLY those stripes. How could those be a different kind of paint than the rest?the camo pattern on his robot head is unintentional and I have no idea how that happened, but.. sure, let's go with camo pattern. I might just go back over the grayI redid some details on the blue and yellow tigers too, so here they all are. I didn't feel like transforming them, and then takara and mutant tigatron, to get the full tigerarray, too tired.
>>11710687It ends up looking VERY "wet"I think that and the darker look is what really hurts it
>>11710725yeah, instead of silver, I actually put the clear indigo over gunmetal.next time I want to achieve this look, I'll stick with silver as the base. I didn't realize how dark it would end up, mixing ultramarine blue with a bit of pink. Clear paint is a real... testy load. It's testy, I tells ya.But I at least tried to cover every exposed white surface this time.
Okay, ideas, ideas... When we get the Studio Series 86/Comic Starscream 2.0 at some point between this year and the next, do you think they will give us a new version of the Coronation set with the same chair? As I heard none of the old Coronation parts, not even the shoulders and crown, could fit the SS86 Seeker mold, the Coronation parts need to be an entirely new mold to fit.
>>11710670Yeah I got DCS Thundercracker and SS86 Thundercracker at the same time and SS86 completely mogs it. This is what we should have gotten in ER to begin with.
>>11710751I could see them doing a "dead" starscream that comes with new coronation partseither that or they'll just do a straight up better version of the MTMTE release in 2 years
>>11710782I wouldn't put it past them to do a dead version with the accessories and a live version without so you have to buy both.
>>11710781I hate the zero detail on SS86's soapbar ass sculpt but that's the only thing Earthrise has over it.
>>11710786Yeah, label the alive Starscream as the Comic version. Still needs a Dianaut-scale Atari-scream for more of the same reasons.
>>11709638>>11709548>>11709833>>11710462Better than the vast majority of Cybertronian alt modes.
>>11710791Nah. You can have too much detail, you can never have too little.
>>11709894>mogs all official Astrotains
>>11710801Shame the QC sucks.
>>11710573As much as I love Ironhide, Blackout’s design is just not for me. The proportions just feel stiff and awkward, and I don’t like that you need to remove the tail propeller for transformation
>>11710800I know they have overdone the sculpts in the past but I don't like how bare it looks.Hopefully, you're not defending SS86 looking like a prototype because that's how the cartoon looked like.
>>11709971>>11709977>>11709989>I have no mouth and I must toon.
>>11710462>>11710483Jizai is the most frustrating designer. He’s obviously a genius, but it seems like he has zero ambition whatsoever to produce anything. He’s ended up as a guest designer in a couple places (Action Toys Machine Robo, Fansproject Function X), but his most inspired stuff is relegated to the scrapyard of his brain-space
>>11710804Unfortunately because he uses it as a weapon in robot mode, nearly every modern blackout figure has it be removed for transformation.The MPM actually integrated it into the transformation only to force you to remove a chunk of the main rotor to become a weapon.
>>11710821I still don't understand why he doesn't just sell his designs. Whatever problems they could have with his engineering, other than vindictiveness for having filled their staff with women and feminine men, they can just fix it by changing size or modifying the sculpt.He doesn't even use that many parts in his designs, which is in my opinion the true genius of his designs, He's not like the chink designers that just add 10 steps and 20 tabs more for every problem they find in a transformation scheme.Hiring him seems like a no-brainer to me.
Found the new Combaticons while out and about today. Pretty solid figures, Blast-Off has a weirdly shaped head tho. Swindle has been officially revealed yet has he?
>>11710815I'm defending SS86 because it looks good period.
>>11710832Yeah.https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Swindle_(G1)#Age_of_the_Primes
How likely is a BALDigus?I just want a Rollbar and a gun for my UW Bruticus.
For whatever reason I'm okay with Blaster being a tape deck but not Soundwave.I hope there's an Overgear Soundwave.
>>11709965>>11709967What is this? A knockoff or new mold?
>>11710838I wouldn't say impossible, but it won't be able to form the Land Mission Mode which he did use in the cartoon, so it'll be crap.
>>11710821these are amazing but they're less amazing the longer I look at them. look at that dog
>>11710840Dramatic Capture Optimus and Jetfire.
>>11710025An upside down submarine?
>>11710687Nice pube on his face.Anyway, the biggest issues you seem to have here is that you're A) not using a primer first and are just slathering your paint onto him until it sticks (creating those streaks you couldn't see before, because the paint is applying and drying unevenly), and B) you're painting with glosses instead of mattes, hence why all of your stuff looks slimy even when it's not.
>>11710855why would i use primer when i'm trying to preserve the existing stripe pattern by putting clear paint on top of it?clear paint only comes in gloss, unless i'm completely high. a matte spray is not a bad idea, though>pubeoh god dammit where. I really tried to crop those out but they are -everywhere-oh fuck me I see it now. god damn that is microscopic. i can't change eye focus anymore, have to rely on trifocals, so that shit's rough.
>>11710858>why would i use primer when i'm trying to preserve the existing stripe pattern by putting clear paint on top of it?>clear paint only comes in gloss, unless i'm completely high.Just pointing out why everything looks goopy and streaky - while I get that you want to keep the original stripes, that's just not how it works. Generally speaking, you'd put down a primer, paint over it with matte, then manually redraw the stripes before covering them in a sealant, otherwise it's always going to look like they took a goo bath, especially when you photograph them.
>>11710859fair. that'd be how pros do it for sure.also the streaks bothering me are on the matte parts, regular vallejo paint. shit doesn't need primer, it has it in there already. the annoying thing is yeah maybe I did roughly re-brush-over some parts, but to my eye they looked instantly matched, now they stand out like mad on camera. I can't fix mistakes i can't see... unless i photograph as I go.
>>11709936nah. I for one am eternally grateful that shitty earthrise seeker mold is now dead and buried.
FUCK SIEGE FUCK SIEGE FUCK SIEGE
>>11710917>soundwave taller than shockwavethis is wrong...shockwave is the tall big tiddy oneesan and soundwave the petite kuudere
>>11710917>>11710920>>11710930You give the three ukeleles or guitars and they would be singing a fun tune. Yeah, I said it.On another note, I wish they used the Devastation Bumblebee mold for Bumper instead of SS86. The Devastation Bee mold would have been a good reshell into a Mazda Familia Bumper is based on.
What's with the siege revisionism hate? It literally set the standard of the figures we have now?
I'm surprised I haven't seen people complaining about the white backpack.I know he has to have it one way or another but a new mold might have at least let you take it off.
>>11710932>retarded overgreebling>ugly battle damage>shitty looking nonsense alt modes>caused 7+ years of cancerous damage from hasbro retooling toys from said nonsense alt modes creating an endless cycle of g1 redos
>>11710917>>11710920I wouldn't have minded it being a siege remold at all if they just made it slightly taller and bulkier as siege shockwave has aged pretty well at it's core. It's not like it's impossible to upscale the figure since the AOE evasion mode optimus getting upscaled multiple times is an example of this.
>>11710932Maybe the fact that we could've gotten a normal Soundwave 10 years ago if they didn't try this stupid gritty cybertron shit.
>>11709866All this did is made me realize how much Blaster’s cartoon design sucksWhy does he have baby birthing hips
>>11710917Upgrade kit will probably fix
>>11710935>>retarded overgreeblingI've seen more people complaining about the completely flat playskool look the recent 86 figures have going for. >>ugly battle damageFair>>shitty looking nonsense alt modesThis argument only holds up for soundwave, and the reflectors (which they can all combine into a convincing looking camera anyways) Everyone else transforms into a convincing looking vehicle cybertronian or not. Siege even gave us the best CHUG jetfire to date too. Im not even sure how they can top it. >creating an endless cycle of g1 redosAny examples?
>>11710932I have no idea either. Im grateful it pushed generations out of the garbage primewars ghetto we were stuck with during the 2010's.
>>11710939>Why does he have baby birthing hipsIt's symbolic - he "gives birth" to his cassette buddies.
>>11710280Would you believe struts coming out of the matrix core is accurate
>>11710917>>11710930MP Shockwave is shorter than Soundwave too, I think that's just how the toon scale goes. He should be roughly seeker sized.
>>11710935>>11710941The only real excuse I can give Siege is the whole idea of Cybertronian alt modes for many of the G1 cast. We just didn't get Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Jazz back then because they want to wait until Legacy to make designs more faithful to the first episode (though the Siege Tetraseekers... Hard to argue why they can't have sharp nosecones without third-party kits). The rest are fine, but they're more worth it for the weapons.
>>11710917i read this as you singing One-Winged Angel
>>11710946huh...
>>11710941>Any examples?Optimus got redone twice because they made a retarded looking cybertronian truck and then a stupidly proportioned earth mode version from the same partsMegatron same but as a tankIronhide/Ratchet got redone twice because they made a retarded cybertronian van and then a lazy partsforming retool of said cybertronian vanUltra Magnus got redone twice because he was first a retarded cybertronian RID01 homage and then a half assed Earth retoolMirage got redone with an inaccurate alt mode because it was redone from a retarded cybertronian carHound got redone except is stuck with retarded Siege greebling inside the jeep instead of seats and a steering wheelSideswipe and Sunstreaker still don’t have spoilers because Sideswipe was redone from the shitty cybertronian car that didn’t have a spoilerShockwave still doesn’t have a proper gun mode because they prioritized half assing it into a retarded spaceshipWe would be done the entire G1 cast with decent representations by now if they just did them right immediately instead of Warden forcing his dumb fanfics to sell the same characters ad nauseam
>SS86 Rumble is still nonexistant nearly>Never hit shelves in %80+ of the US>Gone in seconds day one in JP sites and never again>$80-90+ AftermarketShit like this makes me genuinely wish I could find the Hasbro rep responsible and crush their soft spots in with my bare handsThe sheer hebrew niggatryThey fucking LOVE to constantly repaint and release shit and yet refuse to do so for thisRavage has like 5-6+ releases since SiegeFrenzy has like 6+Rumble got like 2 at best before the SS86 Core that never hit retailWho the actual fuck decided this?I've been stalking Ebay, Mercari, FB Groups, Twitter sales, JP sites and others and absolutely nothing
>>11710954here's a questionwhat would everyone be if all the vehicles and objects swapped places?so Soundwave, Megatron, those guys are vehicles (we've seen that plenty of times).. what if the others are now household objects? what would be suitable for Prime?I feel like Ironhide would be a flashlight or something, Ratchet would be a defibrillator, and Bumblebee is screaming 'flip phone' to me, but maybe something a little more timeless would be better, like an alarm clock.
>>11710949Agreed, Siege still has it's place in a collection since it fills the niche for cybertronian modes of g1 characters. I can't say the same for a good chunk of earthrise and parts of kingdom since significantly better molds have been released since in 86. >>11710954Most of this is just blaming siege for earthrise being a lazy line instead of judging it for what it is in a vacuum. Most of this just boils down to you hating cybertronian modes entirely too since most of these are perfectly good figures that got watered down and lazy earthrise retools.
>>11710932Yea but see it's been 5 years so Siege bad anonThey did the same during Earthrise/Kingdom and early Legacy where everybody here pretended that TR and PotP were terrible and awful and irredeemably dogshit and how dare you like them
>>11710963> Most of this is just blaming siege for earthrise being a lazy line instead of judging it for what it is in a vacuumSiege is shit in a vacuum too.>dude what if G1 Optimus…but we added retarded shit onto the truck mode that otherwise looks exactly the same?If you want to jerk off over “”””cybertronian””” shit just buy the WFC/FOC line instead of infecting the rest of CHUG with that garbage.
>>11710957I managed to get rumble that came in the united release of soundwave. I didn't know he sky rocketed in price on the aftermarket. On a topic for other cassettes I hope dr.wu makes a new ravage. All the official ones compatible in chug scale so far even the 86 one is garbage
>>11710970now that you mention it, the greebling should really be limited to parts that show only in robot mode
>>11710957It's insane they haven't reissued it. It was impossible to find in my area.
>>11710957Wait for the store exclusive Soundwave 6 pack with all the cassettes and fixed colors, goyim :^)
>>11710964Makes sense with the mess of Prime Wars, but I could find some counterarguments on some.>Combiner Wars... Forget it. We got lots of better figures from their cloth.>Titans Return see the return of Headmasters, and ones that will last for years to come. But it doesn't have to be every figure (I fear for another new Broadside).>Power of the Primes only really exists for the Prime Masters at this point, though part of me still wished we could have gotten a better Super Ginrai from the Evolution Optimus mold when its mold uses became obsolete (Evolution Optimus can be forgotten because of the Kup remold Orion Pax, but it could still work regardless, and forget about Star Convoy while you're at it since the Titan is much better despite its misses). I mean, the base mode from the mold evokes the awesome looking trailer base from Powermaster Prime that it was used in Masterforce.
>>11710964TR always sucked too.>n-no you see having an entire line of transfomers that need to fucking partsfom and have ugly cube head sculpts is a good thing actually
>>11710989you just hate fun gimmicks
>>11710917They did my boy so dirty. I haven't gotten SS Megs because of his colors, and I haven't opened SS Soundwave yet, so I'm seriously considering saying fuck this scale revisionism and returning SS Soundwave and sticking with what I have. Pic semi related. My Megs is the 35th deco which I adore, and I have the clean Soundwave, but overall I'm happy with how these scale. I do like the new Seeker mold, and it looks to be the same size, so I still planning on getting those for the main trio and inevitable coneheads (which I have no version of because I hated the Earthrise Seeker mold). I do still love the Seige Seekers though, so my Rainmakers and other repaints will continue to populate my Decepticon army.
>>11710964PotP WAS awful, even for the time. That whole era was fucking dreadful, TR barely managed to stand amongst the shitpile
>>11710273Tbf that's his shade of purple in the actual comic.
Im kind of upset we never got tetrajet coneheads from the siege seeker mold.
>>11710998Idk Blot was good
>>11710998I despised how everything was just retools of each other during combiner wars.
>>11710025>>11710033>>11710263>>11710920Huh so it’s literally just the dramatic capture one with resculpted boots >>11710917It’s actually fuck ss86 for randomly deciding everything is going to be slightly larger once they made ultra Magnus ss86 hotrod is micro now because he’s siege sized
>>11711053>Huh so it’s literally just the dramatic capture one with resculpted bootsWell, that, a different chest inlay, and they removed most of his greebles. Otherwise, yeah - he's basically the same.
>>11711053>>11711056And a rectangular tab on the bottom of Shockwave's boobs so he can be slapped onto Bruticus's right shoulder Might Gunner style.
>>11711053>>11711056Also the leg sides aren't painted gray now, and that's less accurate.
>>11710954>>11710963aside from the fugly legs earthrise Optimus Prime's transformation, particularly in the torso, is way more clever and interesting than the studio series 86 backpack show
>>11711053ss86 making everything slightly larger is actually g1 toyline accurate when you compare g186 carbots to g184 carbots
>>11709567He doesn't in the comic either, that art they referenced for the altmode is just from his Universe profile.
>>11710361Misses the theming of Astrotrains altmodes though.
I really hate Siegewave's thighs. It doesn't seem like it'd be that different from anything else but in-hand they're so unsatisfying to pose and just narrow enough that they make him look weirdly feeble and stick-like. That's the one part I would've changed, but I guess the Has Brothers didn't feel the same way.
>>11711176kek
>>11711127>is way more clever and interesting>Butt wheelsYeah, no.
>>11710262Looks like they fired the guy that was making these with AI and then retouching them before he got to retouch this one. Probably the anon who posted here
>>11710917HE'S A BOTLET!
>>11711053I dislike Shockwave having a gray backpack. I understand why he does, but most people are gonna have him in bot mode 95% of the time so I feel like that's the mode you base your accuracy on. Especially when the alt mode is already inaccurate for a variety of reasons because gun.
>>11710917Siege is fine, the problem is that Commander Optimus and Leader Megatron are just too tall. They made Megatron taller than Galvatron for heaven's sake.
>>11711219>Siege is fine, dead meme
>>11711219They made SS86 Megatron even taller than Optimus for some reason. He's way too big.
>>11711176what went so wrong.
>>11711237he's only half a head taller, that scaling is fine for me.
>>11711241He shouldn't be half a head taller. He should be the same size. They were always depicted as the same size. More often than not he was depicted as barely taller than Soundwave and the seekers.
>>11711187Nothing wrong with having a party in the back
>>11710954Just buy the Masterpieces, ya tooner poorfag.
Astrotrain can do the toy accurate chest
>>11711291>"OMG HE DOES THE THING. I HECKIN CLAPPED"God that looks so fucking abysmal in bot mode. I am actually appalled how badly they fucked up astrotrain big time. Mistransformed or not this guy looks like he was forged out of plastic sticks and leftovers from a cheap chinese sweatshop. His legs look especially atrocious, it looks like a damn bootleg, he looks anorexic even. Fucking siege astrotrain any day of the week over this. I cannot understand how one would consider this an upgrade. Easiest 60 dollars saved.
>>11711247He's also taller than Galvatron now, which is awkward. Kingdom Galvatron was always kind of stumpy but it was fine when he was next to a voyager, now he legit looks like Unicron downgraded Megatron.
>>11711291Leaving a toy accurate gap in his torso.
>>11711291Who cares? He looks like shit, his proportions are fucked.
He do a chugga chugga
>>11709548Kranix’s vehicle mode looks better with the grey vents folded out in front of the wings
>>11710917I’m never going to be a fan of SS86 Megatron leading an army of manlets.
>>11711360>Kranix was mistransformed tooI'll never understand how Hasbro is OK with marketing that makes their products look worse.
>>11711341the movable rods and trainmode does seem like the only redeemable quality in this wreck.
>>11711366Manchilds will still buy it so why bother? Budget is shit, marketing is retarded. Korea with their robots obliterate hasbro for much less. Even Takara without US team retardation makes amazing stuff.
>>11711127There is nothing clever or interesting about ER prime's transformation. It's a massive downgrade on Siege's transformation in pretty much every way, and looks like dogshit as a result. No proper fenders, shitty gas tanks, completely half-assed rear section with leftover siege greebles because hasbro was lazy as fuck. No idea how anyone defends that terrible alt mode, it completely falls apart once you look below the cab door.
>>11711374Cardbot shill mad that the only reason anyone cares about those toys is because of the fat robot girl porn
>>11711291As cool as that is, it doesn't do anything to fix any of his actual issues. I'm fine with keeping my Siege/Earthrise Astrotrain - he doesn't look as emaciated, and has a bunch of guns and a neat little trailer to store them all in.
>>11711396Tachy isn't fat.
>>11711206Yet another reason why Comic Edition was the best version.
>>11711366They always praise the guy that does their promotional photos but then this shit happens all the fucking time and to top it off all his poses are bad too lol
>>11711202WHOAAAAAH BUDDDDYYY
>>11711413You can stand him up while transformed to make him into Cockwave
>>11711391>it completely falls apart once you look below the cab doorThe exposed gray robot thighs always kill the truck mode for me, same reason I dislike the new Masterpiece. It feels super lazy. Even the original G1 toy completely hides the thighs, for fucks sake.
>>11710940Thigh extensions or platform shoes never once fixed a figure. They always look terrible.The only hope we have now for a decent Shockwave is a 3P company to recognise how badly Hasbro have fucked it and see it as a gap in the market they can exploit.
>>11711406yeah but her ass sure is.
>>11711442>Thigh extensions or platform shoes never once fixed a figure. They always look terrible.The Vector Prime platform shoes look decent enough - they even give him his toe guns back. I'll agree with you for the other 99.9%, though.
is spittor in?
>>11710981Core class is dead. There will be no reissue. Ever.
>>11711456Hasbro died 15 years ago anon, give up.
>>11710989I enjoyed Titans Return, it was a good gimmick that's stood the test of time since we're still seeing it used today. The problem was that it forced the Headmaster gimmick onto too many characters that weren't Headmasters and left too many out.I've always maintained that Titanmaster should have been a catch-all term for the various Master gimmicks. Headmasters, Targetmasters and Powermasters all in one line, and any main characters they wanted to add (the likes of Optimus/Megatron etc) could be packed with Targetmasters, so as not to compromise the base figure.
>>11710941>>11710932It's not that Siege was bad, it's just overrated and set a bad precedent for the toylines going forward. Every line has just been copying what Siege did instead of making anything actually interesting. Closest thing they've done to build upon weaponizers is the junkions but due to how homogenized their designs are they lack any potential variety. Out of all the recent lines, Siege is probably the only one with any kind of identity>>11711053I warned you guys about SS86 but nobody listened to me.
>>11711028Blot was arguably the only decent toy in the whole line. I suppose the leaders might be considered okay, they just weren't for me.I will give Hasbro some props for POTP Jazz though. For as flawed as it was they at least for came up with a different way of doing a car-mode combiner than CW did.

>>11711592I can't wait for them to show it off and Evan has to act like its the best thing ever thank you Hasui-san for making this mini masterpiece.
>>11711592You should assume by now that every triple changer will be a leader class because of the extra steps of having a third alt mode.
>>11711595Based Hasui-san only making another flawless toy
>>11711498Bluebolt?
Finally Brawl is available for preorder in Europe.got him for 37eur which is steal for this class transformer
>>11711592>Are they out of their fucking minds?It will still sell out on pulse G1 tooner consoomers cant help themselves
>>11711610Actually since the train mode is where all the focus went this is clearly for the choochoochooners
>>11711520I really don't like this.
>>11711520Fucking lmao Hasbro actually would have made a proportional combiner but they have to fuck up the calves to give in parity with the other combiners they made.
>>11711520This looks so cool. Can't wait for it to be complete.
>>11711532Weird, it's black in the Swindle renders.
>>11711498Behold, Hasbro’s cunning plan to be granted an exemption from the Trump terifs.
>>11711498I'm canadian but I want this because I missed repaints that were totally new characters or colourschemes like back in the energon days when we got black orange and green Unicron.
>>11711498Now we're open to blue repaints, Cryotek when?
>>11711498I'd be tempted if this actually had a stars and stripes pattern or something tacky like that, this isn't even close enough to be bluebolt
>>11711609I'm European and preordered it more than two months ago on Amazon.
>>11711291That looks fucking terrible
>>11711498Thanks Hasbro, I hate it.
>>11711510I think only one side has this problem and they’re not the people who like the flag
>>11711510Eh, you only turn 250 once.What a...lovely gift.
>>11711727NTA, but I think Republicans are also at a morale low given their reactions to Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files
What might have been.
>>11711291this isnt the same toy from earlier.
>>11711752The actual SS86 Shockwave for comparison.You know, this is one time I'd happily buy an OSKO.
>>11711498i sure would have flipped the light and dark blue but this is... potentially salvageable with paint. not gonna spend 28 bucks on it that's for damn sure, but later..
>>11711741that, and we haven't had a guy on the ballot since bush jr.
>>11711752>if hasbro wasn't run by jews
>>11711780jews are good at money. hasbro is bad at money. get your stereotypes straight.
>>11711752>>11711758At least they’re consistent
Memers, we won!!
>>11711758I might just pull the trigger on getting the comic version, that grey backpack sticks out too much
>>11711843Imagine if it had elbows.
>>11711843Crocwave
>>11711843oh...thats why it was off the table for the fan vote huh?
>>11711843WE DID IT REDDIT

Great but man not EVERY SINGLE release needed to be oneOptimus and Soundwave? Perceptor? RODIMUS?It's so goofy.

>>11711520Wow this looks really great to me sadly I’m going to miss it I’m just too broke. Hopefully they do a toy color box set a year later like Menasor
>>11711843well.. it was good in theory.good fucking god what is that tail and how is it a gun? who decided the lower jaw should just curve down like a helicoprion? whooo designed.. most of this.. why is it partially clear...
>>11711520>That hideous bright ass yellow and horrible leg formationChrist>>11711843Crocodile or DimetrodonCall it
>>11711911Its kids toy meant to sell for 15 bucks.
>>11711498This HAS to be a unused Bluebolts deco they’re repurposing, the colors match the HasLab toy almost exactly, the head crest especially
>>11711838God PM Shockwave’s “cartoon colors” are so ass I’m glad they didn’t do that this time
>>11711498kek the absolute fucking state of tfw2005
>>11711843Is that Soundwave on the back? Is he a monster truck?
>>11711931little snowflakes getting triggered over a shitty redeco lmao
>>11711931Jesus H. Christ
>>11711843And that barely visible Soundwave in the back
>>11711955Sweet Primus. I like it though.
>>11711955This seems impossible to understand as a submarine if you don't read the box
>>11711955Tempted to get this and repurpose as Octopunch.
>>11711924>HAS to be a unused Bluebolts decoThey might be using this as an excuse to get bluebolts out there at all. BW Bluebolts is extremely obscure since she only appears in that one MP Black Lio Convoy comic.
>>11711951Anon don't post fetish material on a blue board, I don't wanna see someone fellating a boot.
>>11711977My guess is that WalMart asked for an America 250 toy and the designers used Bluebolts as inspiration for a red, white, and blue eagle
>>11711498Hasbro could make bank off of an entire line of 250th anniversary themed transformers, yet they chose to lazily recolor Airazor.
>>11711498>>11711931>>11711951U S A SA
How did they fuck up Astrotrain so bad?
>>11712026Hasbro is too busy mismanaging MtG and trying to revitalize GI Joe for the 4th time to supervise Transformers designs, please understand.
>>11712039It's such a drastic fuckup from a line that's been pretty ok so far. It's really weird.
>>11711931>the mods locked the threadlmao
>>11712044To be fair to SS86 Asstrotrain he does seem to have a pretty great train/shuttle mode. This is just a rare case of prioritizing the alt-modes over the robot mode in Studio Series, which is known for great-looking G1 robots
>>11711498>>11711931>>11711951>its 2016>fans loose their shit over a red and blue beast wars repaint >its 2026>fans loose their shit over a red and blue beast wars repaint

>>11711498>Yet another Kingdom Airazor Well, we knew this was going to be the case the moment it was announced. Still, there's not enough red on him - the American Flag is primarily red and white with a little patch of (dark) blue, so everything that's light blue here should be red. He also really should have had some stars on his wings - they were already making him an unnatural color, so they should've just gone all-in on the motif.

>>11711951This is funny because Republicans also like this whenever there's a Dem in office.
>>11711951>>11712114I mean yeah. But on the other handDemocrats weren’t literally building internment camps to hold millions out in the desert/wilderness.There’s a reason Godwin of Godwin’s law literally made a statement about giving ann exemption in regards to this stuff.
>>11712086>Goyimus PrimeOptimus and Megatron literally turns into a cattle at one point.
>>11712061I got that guy at Ross back when, wish I kept him. His colors are kinda dumb but we really did take lights and sounds for granted, those were fun as hell, and this guy was nice and big to boot. These days gimmicks are a rarity and the mainline stuff feels very no-fun-allowed. Thank goodness for Cyberworld.

>>11711176Oh, god. What new monstrosity has Hasbro brought to life.
>>11712140>Democrats weren’t literally building internment camps to hold millions out in the desert/wilderness.Let's not pretend the last administration wasn't doing other evil, illegal things like censoring the internet, running an illegal human experiment on the entire world (with the approval of the admin before that one), throwing dissidents in jail over nothing, forcing Ukraine into a war they'll never win, and making up charges to throw Trump in jail over...., uh... he, uh.... Man, I wish it was over being a pussy and not giving Clinton the death penalty.Anyways, illegals had it coming either way and deserve much worse.
>>11710401>>11711176Classics Astrotrain had some dope design details like the wagon shoulders and the modernized helmet. If it wasn't a clunky deluxe drowning in its own kibble I wouldn't need another Astrotrain. TOOON designs are getting really boring.

>>11712171
>>11711843Looks more like a long-nosed Dimetrodon than a Spinosaurus. Also, kiddie line or no, there's literally no excuse for toys to not have elbows and knees in this day and age.
>>11712061This meme works better when you have at least 3 instances of the recurring event to work with. Let me know if anyone can think of a third.
>>11712183>selective dyslexiaok
>>11712210How about literally any instance of Optimus Prime that people didn't like? Hasbro literally chose to make him the leader of the good guys because his toy happened to be the same colors as the American Flag, after all.
>>11712210>it's the year 2000>fans loose their shit over a red and blue beast wars repaint

>>11712227Does it work with the Siege black repaint because that purple clashes too much imo.

>>11712231Nu-Shockwave has at least one new peg to lock him in place
>>11712231No. The new Shockwave has a new tab molded under his titties for connecting to Bruticus that the Siege mold does not. The SS's "bridge"/handle has also been slightly retooled, and presumably fits into a slot on the back of Bruticus' shoulder to stabilize the connection.
>>11712226What was the controversy here?
>>11712245TRUKK NUT MUNKE
>>11711902What are the chances spittor gets a large enough toy that is able to vore mini bots like glyph and core classes.
>>11712210>>11712226There we go. That’ll do.And I can fix the copy and pasting errors.(I just picked an age which felt like a good spread from young adult to fully adult.)

>>11712240You’ve really got to stop with the propaganda anon>>11712147>>11712150I think pic related is Scourge
>>11712240i skipped the other hot wheels stuff but this looks awesome. and Kiss Play reference is always nice
>>11711919overpriced.dont make this as a kids toy, nobody cares. we care. make it for us. That is what we wanted as kids. we hated kids stuff.
>>11712147>>11712150what in god's name
>>11712290He's probably possessed by something
>>11712266No fucking way. Now I gotta look for a figure to use as a stand-in for Shaoshao to go with him.
>>11712297that's not bad. i like that a sleek car becomes a bulky dude.>>11712140you know what, I'm not getting banned for you
>>11711931>>11711951fucking LMAO. It's crazy how fucking hostile the internet has became when it comes to politics and virtue signaling literally everywhere. It never used to be like this before.
>>11712240Shut up, retard. You're too stupid for oxygen if you think they're "putting millions of people in camps." Talk about Transformers, or go back to your Bluesky bubble.
>>11712286Aye man, I’ve said my piece.I ain’t going to be drawn into derailing the thread any further. But like, at least put a little effort into trolling.
>>11712327like the media does? including the guy who is literally part of a media company? yeah no.
>>11712329?????
>>11712308>It never used to be like this beforeDude its always been this way. Shit just got worse with the introduction smart phones and social media like Twitter and Facebook.
>>11712344I know politics weren't absent but it really seems like it has gotten worse 10 fold in this day and age. Ever since 2016 really.
>>11712267Scourge! he's just trying to fish man!
>Hey! Give that back!
>>11712344it's only reliably been this way since 2012ish. the seeds were planted in '08, but they didn't bloom yet.just do as I do and live in roughly 2006, and life is fine. we will coast through this.
It’s not quite a spinosaurus, but do you think this is close enough to satisfy the people who really wanted Spinowave?
>>11712396lol no.actually now that I see it, I get what they were trying to do. 'muh paleo accuracy' with a paddle tail and short legs..but the lower jaw will never make sense, that is just insanity. and the sail looks fuckin goofy.. this is a crumpled keyjangle of a toy.
>>11712391Romulus is pretty great isn't heI just wish the barrel was attached better
No one tell tfw about prime's colours
>>11712417Yeah, I'm sure they only like when he's completely red
>>11712418Most likely. But funny they'll kvetch about a birdbot with a cheesy theme when the poster charcater of the franchise is literally america bot with a john wayne inspired voice.
>>11712426Seems like some on TFW are still basedJust a bit of red gundam marker to make him even better
>>11712431I just saw that in the thread, funny timing. Lady liberty would have been a rad choice to call em, im not even american but it would fit pretty well, make it a july release
>>11712150>>11712147>>11711843This is season 2 cyber world Which is likely being shockwave controlling others, hence scourge and soundwave having weird purple energon stuff
>>11712417To be fair, Optimus's colors are a coincidence given he originally started in Diaclone with the exact same palette
>>11712438>shockwaveDoubtful, it's something else>>11712440Wrong, the white is from the toon
>>11712431I forgot they had that head from Silverbolt, that does seem a lot more fitting.
>>11712384>You damn Apoliticals and your ‘I just want to grill’, or ‘just trying to catch fish’, or carving wood, or watching sunsets.>Your what wrong with Cybertron and it makes me sick!>Go fence-sit in the Pit!
>>11712444No it isn’t, in fact the toon took away the white stripe in robot mode
>>11712447Sorry, truck mode, I haven’t watched the G1 cartoon in a while and forgot which is was
>>11712447>>11712451He has white legs and hips in the toon
>>11712440Surely helped his chances for the toon, plus the john wayne voice was a slam dunk for patriot prime, not exactly subtle stuff.
>>11712407It honestly looks kind of like a spinosaurus head on one of those terrestrial 4 legged sail-backs like the Dimetrodon. Depending on how claw or foot-like the actual front digits are without the energon claw weapon thing plugged to the side.
>>11712284>dont make this as a kids toy, nobody cares. we care. make it for us.Now thats funny.
>>11712453>He has white legs and hips in the toon>>11712458If that’s the case, why is Starscream a Decepticon, he’s red, white, and blue as well. I think they picked him because he was the biggest Diaclone Car Robots toy and was already one of the big tickets in Diaclone
>>11712272I am so putting this guy with the Star Seekers.
So when are we getting studio series Starscream?
>>11712467I think he’s a Target exclusive, so he’ll probably be revealed soon through Transformers Tuesdays on Instagram
>>11712465F-15 in those colours seems a good way to get a toy into the hands of kids through their parents. Not saying it's the sole factor but I'd wager money it was a factor
>>11712469Funnily enough, Starscream's colors also come from Diaclone
>>11712465starscream has grey not white.
>>11712459Most likely he'll get a crocomegs retoolCyberworld does some pretty heavy retools since the parts count is so low
>>11712474That's a real american hero right there. But military stuff had to be the baddies
>>11712465>If that’s the case, why is Starscream a Decepticon, he’s red, white, and blue as wellHe was initially considered to be an Autobot, actually. Partly because of his colors, and partly because the Diaclone Jet Robo was already part of the good guy faction in his toyline of origin, being on the same side as Optimus.The deciding factor, however, was his alt mode - they had decided that all of the initial Autobots were going to have civilian alt modes, while the Decepticons would have military ones, so Starscream ended up on the other side.
>>11712431Yeah, I like that a lot better. Reminds me of pic related.
>muh diacrone>muh LsGrim
>>11712436If you’re into Lady Liberty in general and not just as a name, Toy-Easy’s USS Wisconsin bot comes with a crown based on hers for some reason.
>>11712266That mold looks way better in red damn

>>11712484Yeah, me. Happily.
So, what wacky crossovers do you figure are getting announced in 2026. Because it feels like we had A LOT last year.
>>11712479>He was initially considered to be an Autobot, actually.Is that true? The earliest info I can find on Starscream (Ulchtar here) is Jim Shooter's original treatment, which still describes him as a villain
>>11712240You are CLEARLY not from the US or worse you are and you're from RedditFuck off already
>>11712482>they made the wis a botThat's awesome, I think I've seen it before but I like it. Makes me wish we had more ships in transformers lines, I passed on a few decent secondhand broadsides but would love for an update or something like liberty wis.
>>11712431okay that starts to do it for me, but..

I like it.
>>11712482>>11712492I own her. She's awesome to display in both modes, but a real bitch to transform. Not shown there, but she also comes with two handheld assault rifles and two MASSIVE gattling cannons, all of which can be mounted on her in ship mode (as if she didn't already have enough firepower in the form of all of her artillery). I also have the Tiger tank by these guys, who is much easier to transform and makes for a great Decepticon mook, even if he's a bit tall and lanky in robot mode.>>11712494The image is photoshopped - they colored stripes on the wings, pasted Skywarp's head over Airazor's to make the character male, and recolored it to fit the rest of it.
>>11712497Birb is birb. He's not human, so he doesn't need to adhere to human proportions. Don't think too hard about it; just enjoy the ridiculousness of 'MURICA, the Action Figure.

I think whoever bought it gave up transforming it half way after shoving the head too far down then returned it.Whatever to reason I got a damn good discount on a complete figure.
>>11712598Ha! Now I know the approximate area you live in, anon! I know what thread that pictures from
>>11712558It's not even accurate to how he looked in the show, so why the hell is it not Grey or white?
>>11712605
>>11711951>>11711931>>11711498It's hilarious of leftie TF xitter/reddit always pushes the rhetoric that "Transformers was always political" but until the moment it does something that doesn't adhere to their world views they want to sweep it under the rug and complain. How embarrassing.

>>11711510getting ready to shoot up a school, huh?

>>11712664yes, precisely like that.Don't get me wrong, the government does things LIKE that. But the one you hear about is always the smokescreen.When a government wants to do the stuff you've heard about, they do it silently. Nobody notices it.
