Between Dramatic Capture Series, Masterpiece Movie Series NEXT, Overgear, and New Legends, are you glad that Takara is picking up the slack and fixing Hasbro's slop?Previous:>>11723788
>>11729950I wonder if the new SS Optimus will surpass this
>>11729954eh.. it's an okay jetfire but what the fuck is that hand..this actually might be the best 1p jetfire and that is sad.
I might have gone for this if I didn't already own SS JetfireSame with that amazon multipack
>>11729960is it so much to ask to have a version that takes all the extra engineering for the retarded, non-movie-accurate combined mode and uses that to hide the jetbottom kibble instead?
>>11729970lmao
>>11729970>>11729977lol
>>11729977I'm not asking for it to be perfect, just... can we hide his sideburns better?also, has anyone ever consciously noticed... because the real vehicle has like one-third the mass of the robot mode in the toy, does the toy then visibly have out-of-scale vehicle kibble?
>>11729954>hand is just a big wide open monkey paw
>>11729981>Talk to the hand, sonny!
>>11729956>>11729981It's literally just a nicer repaint of the already existing SS Jetfire. The hands have always been like that. You'll just have to hope that they remake Jetfire once they remake Optimus first.
>>11729990oh so we ARE getting redos of SS.
>>11729994Have you not noticed that we're getting a Titan Class Grimlock as a redo of the old Leader Class Grimlock from 8 years ago? Yeah HasTak are now going to start redoing a bunch of older SS toys. The leaks say we're getting a Leader Class redo of the first movie Optimus Prime.
>>11729996but that's a completely different mold, what are you talking about
>>11730011What is your definition of a redo?
>>11730000Overgear OP?
>>11730000We're so back
>>11730000>>11730000I don't see why OP has a human looking gun when he's clearly not human and a SciFi gun would look better in both modes.Also a small gun conversion would be great.Or options to add a smaller gun Transformer.
>>11729956>1pthird party retards really do keep pushing this faggotry party shit
>>11730021I'm going to start saying 1p from now on just because you're getting this mad over it
>>11730000I wasn't really interested in overgear but this design looks amazing. Love the shoulderpads, shape of the torso and strong legs.
Kranix review. https://youtu.be/jQ7wcN95d-4?is=NL667tWsDDnSo2FSIt's going to be fun to have this guy together with the Quintesson judge.
>>11730000>similar transformation as IronhideI hope Megatron isn't just a tweaked Blackout.
Got Scourge with basically all of the other SS86 Target stuff. Doesn't hold any surprises for me, since I already own three of the Sweeps, but it's nice to have the master of the hunt regardless.
Titans Return had an amazingly stacked roster of deluxes. So many wonderfully fun toys, and if you ponied up for the Legends figures they had great decos too.
Arise, Scourge Prime
>>11729979I got this guy for $10 without his cane from a thrift shop years ago. I think I combined him with Optimus one time and never tried again, the Legends RotF guys are way more satisfying and quick to combine.
>>11730036Barring some shitty IDWness in the designs here and there, there were excellent toys all around. The Titanmaster integration between the different size classes, working cockpits, and separate purchasable heads that came little dudes that double as weapons or combined creatures made for such a cool line, man.
>>11730036>tfw all these have more mass than modern leaders
>>11730050And more screws, most joints are pinned and if they are loose then you are fucked.>pic related
>>11730037Photo taken moments before disaster
>>11730050You’re retarded. These were very light. As much as I don’t like the current Deluxe price, I say they’re at least a bit denser feeling. Compare current Quickstrike and Venin to even Tarantulas from Legacy who felt like picking up air. So TLDR, while the price has gone up, at least they’re slightly denser at the moment
>>11730056Deluxe probably has the greatest variance in mass Look at new Animated Bee vs the new RatchetRatchet is more than twice the amount of plastic
>>11730062Ratchet is a deluxe who comes with 6 accessories, it's crazy how much he's packed with.
>>11729945Is he worth $80 CAD
>>11730076No youre insane
>>11730076I'm waiting for the Big Blue convoy variant.
Got Amalgamous some days ago and there's something that baffles me about it. I was expecting to have way more freedom when rearranging his parts, but there's a design choice that limits creativity a lot, and it's something so stupid and easily avoidable that I don't understand why they din't think about it. The thing has a lot of 5mm holes, and that's great... but what's the point when most of his components don't have pegs? Most of them are in the body part, but every single piece should have at least one peg, that would make the number of configurations rise exponentially. It feels way too restricted for something whose selling point should be "build whatever you want with it".Nonetheless he passed the dinosaur test, so I guess he's alright.
>>11730092They won't do Blue, they'll do Nemesis Prime again.
>>11730076no just wait for the inevitable improved takara retool
The only G.I. Joe I give a shit about.
>>11730104
>>11730118Same vibe
i don't know about the latest Hasbro fuckups but i know the core class is now gone for good.In this scenario i guess there's no hope for this to ever show up ever again, isn't it?i was waiting this since it was announced but of course hasbro pulse is a joke and everywhere else there's nothing left
>>11730132Perceptor in every single of his reissues and redecoes consistently shelfwarmed
>>11730132I have two extra of these I need to sell because I kept getting bad paint QCI already see it going for $60-$70 on ebay
>>11730093Upgrade kits are gonna have a field day with this.
>>11730093lol, that's amazing>>11730142I see the vision. Energon Grimlock...
>>11730142Some new small pieces with both pegs and holes would work wonders I guess.
>>11730015well in the case of jetfire, anon says it's a repaintso your 'you idiot, didn't you notice (thing that is not a repaint)' doesn't really fit
>>11730021i didnt know what else to call it but i'm open to suggestions. "Non-3p" seemed pedantic.
>>11730093yeah that's how the boneformers felt to me. i could do very little with Transmutate as a result. plus half of her pegs didnt even work in half of her holes.
>>11730154Just call it official.
>>11730000That's pretty hot
possibilities of flame toys doing a chromia in the style of arcee and winblade?
>>11730185On an infinite timescale? 100% certain :^)
>>11730138>core class gone for good>Perceptori meant the cassettes, anon. And they only existed in that pack that magically sold out everywhere the moment it showed up. Now i only see """preorders""" and aliexpress ads going for 100 bucks>>11730140i want the cassettes, even if you're selling them the flyover would cost as much. But thanks anyway
>>11730166that sounds weird in this specific context though
Now that I think about it, Ghost of True Capitalist Radio would make for a better Transformers toy reviewer than Bobby Skullface.
>>11730111Remember when fast food toys were good?
>>11730248Yeah but this is really funnyAnd funny is almost as good as good
Is Japan really missing out on Cyberworld?
>>11730253Yes. They get Wild King instead.
>>11730253No, for $15 they can get toys with elbows, unlike us
>>11730253Wild king mogs the fuck out of this
This thread glorps.
>>11730132If hes like 86 Blaster he'll probably be reissued by the end of the year
>>11730253Cyberworld shit was on Clearance on my Walmart and I decided to try them (got Scorponok for $18, Galvatron for $6, and Megatron for $4)I forgot how much I had fun with toy gimmicks and the simplistic transformation makes them fun to just fiddle around with. The articulation is not great but I've had more fun with Cyberworld Galvatron than most figures geared toward COLLECTORS. And now that I know there are some really awesome ones coming out later,( Scourge, Shockwave, Soundwave), I don't regret getting them at all.
>>11730292I need them to do more beast wars guys in cyberworld. A cyberworld dinobot would be INCREDIBLE.
>>11730299armored cyber changer dinobot with the same spinning gear tail gimmick as the original..
>>11730076Absolutely notGo buy the original for that
>>11730029Wonder if they'll do a repaint as the other guy
>>11730325Already confirmed. I can't imagine anyone really wanting both and being willing to spend the cost modern prices require for two though.
>>11730326What about the old guy?Poor old guy won't get nuttin'
>>11730327Old Guy has lost the slot wars.
>>11730329the slot wars is what we call the parking lot full of guys fighting for the next crack at your mom
Hey Cunt-fucks, I’ve come here to post comparison photos I edited together, and to swear at you gratuitously and inventively.And I’m too lazy right now to come up with any more original swear combinations.

>>11730348SOVLLESS
>>11730348all of these look fucking awfulfuck the poorfags who keep asking for these dogshit updates
>>11729948>>11729950>>11729952>>11729954Glad I have the old supreme(?) class figures, but this does look good.
>>11730346>>11730347>>11730348Why did they do the shitty clipon back wheel. lmao they dont even paint the rims
>>11730348Poor prowl
>>11730361Just wait till Animated Megatron gets the same (mis)treatment.
>>11730380Animated Megatron is a banger but simple design, if they botch him the entire staff must be fired.
>>11730397if you worked for hasbro and you just copied the existing toy and gave it ankle tilts, would you get fired or praised?
>>11729945>Pay masterpiece prices for retail toys because they're painted like the showSure, whatever.
>>11730380wouldn't the cons all be leader class and maybe commanders like lugnut if they want to be size accurate?
>>11730501masterprices!
>>11730501100 bucks for a voyager and 3 deluxes is not so crazy anymore
>>11730504I could see most of them being tall voyagers like cyclonus.
>>11730348Improvement over the hideous Teen Titans slop style the original had.
>>11730539>>>>>>>
>>11730534Ah so just them being voyagers but with engineering and/or bits to be bumped up to leaders?
So Hasbro's never going to re-release the Bat Optimus vs Gator Megatron pack again, and they'll never repaint the Bat Optimus into Nyx?
>>11730152Jetfire is a repaint not a redo. Titan Grimlock is a redo since they're redoing both the character and the old toy with a new more bigger and more accurate toy.
>>11730011This isn't difficult. A "redo" is when Hasbro decides to take another swing at making a toy of a character. Sometimes this can be a retooled version of a previous mold (such as the Siege toys for Springer and Shockwave getting extensively remolded for SS86), but more often it's just a whole new attempt at a toy. For example, SS86 Thundercracker is a redo of a character who most recently had gotten a toy in Earthrise. It's a different mold with a different aesthetic, but it's still Hasbro making a new attempt at a mainline toy based on the same guy. So a redo could be an old mold retooled, or an entirely new mold. The main thing is that it's Hasbro releasing a new toy of the same character.
>>11730132I enjoyed this release and it's nicer colors, The added back covers were just a bonus.In fact looking back upon the Titan's Return I find him to be quite shallow and pedantic
>>11730348I like them all except WreckGar
>>11730055That's no way to talk about the ultimate Decepticon. Also, why does Rodimus always revert to Hot Rod without the Matrix, but Optimus never reverts to Orion Pax?>>11730126Gave me a good laugh.
>earthrise or Ss86 seekersThe correct answer is Siege.
>>11730253I'm always amazed how easily you guys constantly fall for the most dogshit dollar store ass figure releasesIs everything else THAT bad that you cope with these?
>>11730346>>11730347>>11730348Pic in 347Take top left, top right and lower left picsNow darken the windows and windshield just a bitAnd give him his black lines along legs. Mostly Feet, Knees and Thigh partsColor the Red Bicep section just past the elbowAnd turn the little lights under Front Bumper Grey like the Cartoon modelFixed him
>>11730612Some people will really buy any cheap slop Hasbro puts out. I bet they had even bought 1-step changers
>>11730634Only time I EVER bought gimmick shit like that was 2015-16 and RID buying the 1-3 step change Underbite and I think Springload
>>11730634Errrr I bought RB High Tide so they would make a Titan Class of it 20 years later ok. Playing the long game.
>>11730476The original you already has ankle tilts. What it needs is more ratchet stops at the hips.
>>11730348Derrick J Wyatt being dead at 50 sucks ass.
>>11730666True, but on the other hand he doesn't have to see his characters getting terrible "updates".
>>11730668Yeah but it would have been fun to see him complain about it
Hmm... Got ideas on how we'll ever get static, non-separating versions of the Armada Skyboom Shield and Requiem Blaster someday? Because if you ask just about anyone, wanting to find the combining versions amount to either "buy the third-party versions" or "look for the originals."
>>11730671They retconned the Fallen's cannon to be the Requiem Blaster. Makes him sound like a theatre kid.
>>11730672>Prima has Star Saber>Megatronus has Requium BlasterWhere'd the Skyboom Shield go
>>11730347New one looks better, it has more sculpted detail and that makes a better toy. Left looks cheap because it has no detail. Like a real uncanny valley or something.
>>117306713D Print.Surprised to see that someone actually wants a plastic solid shield though, I never used mine from the 3P Fanshobby set.
>>11730703Another Prima Artifact. But if we give each of the individual components of Nexus Prime a piece of the Cyber Caliber, one of the components has to be the Skyboom Shield. The other components would be the Chaos Edge, Omni Saber, Terminus Blade, and probably the Proton Spear (if the rest of Onyx Prime's spear in his toy isn't already said Artifact).
>>11730705It's kind of the logic on Wyatt's designs on pretty much any of his works. They feel flat, and it's actually a good thing that makes for some good toys (not everything has to be perfect, though).
>>11730705>New one looks better, it has more sculpted detailThe aesthetics of these new animated figures don't make sense because they're just sticking the animated character's head and smooth, flat front section onto a blocky G1 base with more sculpted detail and it all clashes too much. There's no consistent aesthetic with any of these animated figures because they have no idea what they want to be and it suffers for it.Old one looks way better due to the unified aesthetic
>>11730722>>11730725Tooners
>>11730722Wyatt was clearly an Orbots fan.
>>117307272010 Lugnut and Lockdown were fine. Back then they took those designs and reimagined them so they would have a consistent design aesthetic. These new animated figures have the same issue as the prime figures where they feel like halfhearted attempts to try and fit the animated aesthetic with the current blocky generations slop but because that's all they know how to do they can't actually create a real aesthetic out of it.
>>11730348outside Wreckgar (and maybe Bee's fiddly transformation) I think the animated figures turned out pretty well. much better than half the Prime cast
>>11730725True, that's the case on the 4 pack Autotropper, give it the Animated head & it's off, the KP head works wonder on his cubic body
>>11730730They could have heads that matched but everyone shat their diapers over the good looking Prime updates and so Hasbro jurt pastes the unfitting head on and the barking seals that the fans are clap and go "it looks like thing I know it's so much better now!!"
>>11730767Except the prime updates were also bad as well
>>11730348>optimus and ratchet have painted windows>prowl and bee have transclearant i wish they'd pick a window aesthetic and stick with it. preferably painted but it's annoying when the figures in the same line are inconsistant
>>11730771Nope.
>>11730771>>11730779Well clearly only one of you two's opinion can be right.
>>11730595>but Optimus never reverts to Orion Pax?Because in the cartoon he wasn't a Matrix upgrade like Rodimus, he was rebuilt by Alpha Trion.
>>11730811You're asking about the cartoon, faggot.
I'm always willing to shit on Hasbro's retarded decisions but I've never gotten the extreme dickriding Takara gets, even when they're to blame for designing the figures. (after all, I've read people trying to reduce Hasbro's participation to just an ideas guy). Sure, I guess I can buy some design issues being up to budget cuts pushed by the american side,but other baffling design decisions are entirely the fault of the Takara designers.
>>11730830>but other baffling design decisions are entirely the fault of the Takara designersSuch as?
What is the most successful way to recreate the G1 waist "underwear" in your opinion?>Upper thighs have waist detail that rotate with the leg (SS86 Megatron, SS86 Hot Rod, Legacy Gears, SS86 Dinobots, etc.)>Waist is one/two loin flap(s) that conceal round upper thighs connected directly to T-shaped waist (SS86 Optimus, SS86 Ironhide/Ratchet, SS86 Soundwave, Earthrise Seekers, etc.)>Waist has no flaps, thighs visibly connect to T-shaped waist (SS86 Jazz, Netflix Bumblebee, SS86 Ultra Magnus, SS86 Kup, etc.)
>>11730767>>11730779the prime updates really were bad, though. cliffjumper is the only one that feels successful enough but the others only barely resemble the characters they represent to the point that they feel like phoned-in recolors of different characters rather than the ones they're supposed to be
>>11730842The thing mp44/light of peace does where it's separate flaps connected to the leg rotation that sink into the groin when bent
>>11730861Ohh that's choice. Really the best solution for those physics-breaking G1/Gundam/Brave waists where the thighs bend but the underwear doesn't. Either that or have the thigh joint slide down somehow.
>>11730861So the old Busou Shinki/modern girlpla thing where the thighs are attached to an armature inside the body that swings down and dislocates, rather than connecting to the hip, which is free-floating? I guess that's one way to do it.
>>11730811>Ask a question>Gets an answer>Inmediately gets mad and calls people incelstake your meds schizo
>>11730767>over the good looking Prime updatesanon... Only thundertron was a good update, & this fuck wasn't in the show LMAOOO
prime smokescreen looks good tb desu (although I don't think it's necessarily 1 to 1 with the prime design but the prime smokescreen chest is fugly)
>>11730808>>11730811>>11730814>>11730894Anon that actually asked the question and I appreciate the answer. No idea why the other guy is so mad about people knowing things about a property they like enough to buy toys for.
Thinking about it critically, Magmatron might be a better attempt at Nexus Prime's main theme than the official Nexus Prime himself. If we got a Jet/Helicopter, Speed boat/submarine, and tank/truck/train for Nexus in the same vein as Magmatron, I think we all would have been more pleased.
People can hate on the TFA molds all they want, Nemesis is still awesome.
>>11730939You cant go wrong with a nemesis deco no matter the mold
>>11730916Nexus is supposed to have individual robot modes and they're giving us exactly that in the future.
>>11730830I'm sure the Hasbro guys only involvement is character ideas, decos and budgeting. Every single time they talk about transformations, sorry, "conversions", in the streams they always mention the Takara designer that came up with the idea.
>>11730914That was me and no problem anon. And I've probably had more sex this weekend then he's had in his whole miserable life, see pic related to see the source of his little outburst kek.
>>11730983>"conversionsThis shit will never not be baffling to me, what the fuck happened that they cant oppenly say transform anymore?
>>11730993trademark issues, if the word is used too much as a verb or adjective it can be argued if you could be allowed to trademark the name "Transformers"
>>11730771>>11730857I liked skyquake, dreadwing and knockout though.
>>11730730Kino still>>11730771TRUE>>11731008LMAOOO
>>11731022What is bad about the skyquake mold? I love how it combines both the g2 and prime design together. It's a win win situation for me.
primevsprime uploaded the powerglide videoholy shit why is powerglide as small as a core class
>>11731054I'll be honest. I don't see it as a traight improvement over the t30. Even the vehicle mode looks nicer on thr older figure, and for how much this version is going for, I do expect better.
>>11731027It's not a win when Hasbro actually bothers to do the G1 version.
>>11730253>slopperworld
>>11730830Weebs being weebs and thinking anything Japan makes is gold. Shit, I remember when the unification happened some tards honestly believed Hasbro "forced" Takara into doing it.
>>11731070People have been shitting on Takara ever since MP went to shit and we literally just had 2 threads of people calling Ejima a senile retard. Takara is just the lesser of two evils. Most of Hasbro's decisions and how they've handled the franchise is far worse than what Takara has done because for all their faults, Takara will occasionally do cool shit>>11731070>thinking anything Japan makes is goldAt this point it might as well be
>>11731070Hasbro IS at fault for most of the dogshit thats been happening as of late, including the shitty distribution
>>11731059Nah, I like the mold but I want an actual update, not this shit.
>powerglide is a fucking deluxe>smaller than bumblebee
>>11731079Masterpiece has only just gone to shit with MPG and especially Style Gen
>>11731092Lmao this poor retard thinking it got to shit just recently
Why is Powerglide smaller than the other Minibot updates?
>>11731027Looks almost nothing like the Prime versionChest design based on the G1 Skyquake yet use it again for DreadwingShoulders are uglyThe absolute boxy ass limbs is easily the worst aspect. It lost ALL interesting design, curve and stylization to just become another ugly box frame guy who lays down and turns into a flying coffee tableEven the colors are noticeably worse
>>11731109He looks cool
>>11731109Every day it get more bizarre how many G1 Skyquake elements they baked in and then never released in those colours
>>11731109I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that he can't stand.>>11731119At this point it's just another "will they won't they" leaning heavily towards "won't". Hell we haven't even got Thunderclash and he's way more popular.
>>11731118I'm sorry you have such abysmal standards
>>11731109Agree to disagree. It is honestly one of the better prime updates. It stands out as it's own take on the character. If you were talking about bulkhead then maybe I would agree with you.
>>11731130He can, just fiddle with the nozzles on his feet. He only has issues standing if you fuck up the torso transformation.
>>11731131It's just a toy nigga, what hasbro tries to sell with cybershit is far worse
>>11731130He can just very poorly>>11731133NoIt's a hot turd soupNext to Prime bulkheadWORSE with Prime Arcee whichLolLmao even>>11731139Excusing it
Good shit at Ross today. I'm starting to really love toy-hunting there. :)
>>11731157He has his issues but he's not nearly as bad as those two or Knockout. He doesn't do anything exceedingly bad but nothing particularly amazing either.
>>11731096Poor retards were the only people complaining about Masterpiece toys since they were too expensive for them. Good thing Takara listened, now they're just Generations toys.
>>11731159Nice! The only thing I ever see at Ross is that evergreen Megatron
>>11730939I liked it better when it was Motormaster with his DNA add-on kit.
>>11731092>>11731178Nigga, you still get your sunbow slop in it, wherever it's redecoes (Lift Ticket, Roadhauler) MP+ redecoes (Soundwave & numerous cassettrons) & MP molds in cartoon style (Upcoming Broadcast/Twincast & his cassettes)
>>11731159Okay wait the Skywarp and Ironhide good picks
Gonna dump this at tfconla wish me luck.
what's the ideal way to ship a loose figure?
>>11731226A partner that can be their moral compass.
>>11731228Guffaw.
anyone get their Target Hound yet?
>>11731234I just saw him at mine today, but I swore I'd stop after Soundwave (who thankfully is shipping out soon)
>>11730095They’ll do both & the pay piggies will own all 3 versions
>>11731234So for us non burgers that don't have targets? Are we screwed?
>>11731215Surprised your SG Starscream is still that white. I pulled mine out of storage recently and it's starting to yellow at certain points.
>>11731292Yup. And with Target basically ending exclusives, trying to get this Hound will be impossible unless Hasbro needs to find some kind of miracle.Also, what sucks is that Powerglide's alien mask only fits him and him alone, and there's no way to fit said mask to anyone else because of custom pegs, as Powerglide has a rotating face.
>>11731305I fucking hate exclusive faggotry. Why can't they just sell the damn thing on amazon? And to make matters worse, hasbro pulse isn't even available in my country. Fuck this shit
>>11731320I kinda like left more desu
>>11731320so how hard will it be to swap out the legs?
>>11731320They should've brought back Siege battle damage tampo for this
>>11731234The colors they used for the box art make it seem like I'm in love with Hound, or that Hound is in love with me
>>11731320ye old “sell the wrong colors on the first release on purpose so we can get people to double dip” hasblow scam
>>11731215Ayo wait lemme get that CW Blast Off
>>11731325So many parts are pinned, you're better off swapping the chest and heads.
>>11731119I'm still dumb founded they never did machine wars Soundwave from ER Doubledealer or even Starscream from sky quake
>>11731329It wasn't the wrong colors though, I don't know who started this meme.
>>11731358I'm pretty new to TF compared everything else I collect, but it kind of seems like every new G1 Megatron figure sets off an avalanche of people complaining about the alt mode or colors. In before that one guy presents his manifesto about how he should be silver instead of grey.
Who do I listen to?
>>11731378Personally, I like the white Magnus version of the mold they did for the Target four pack.
>>11731379Same. Never got the G1 Optimus since I already have tons of them but I ended up liking the Magnus one so much I went back and got the Legacy G1. It's just so simple and easy and fun and makes a good desk toy. I hope we get a Nemesis, Sentinel, and even Toxitron version at some point. It's like Missing Link but doesn't feel like I'll break it by playing with it so much.
>>11731368>In before that one guy presents his manifesto about how he should be silver instead of grey.Are there really people who question that? Of course he should be silver.
Blast Off (CW-inspired repaint of AOTP Slingshot) vs. Alpha Bravo (CW-inspired repaint of AOTP Vortex) 2-pack when?
>>11731421Nobody cares about your weirdly specific hang up over Megatron and literally no other character.
>>11731422Hopefully never
>>11731423>if you realize Megatron should be silver and looks better that way then YOU'RE ONE SPECIFIC ANON I DON'T LIKEReal schizo hours here on /toy/ I see.
>>11731379I think we need to go back to Magnus being the default repaint
>>11731434They don't do that many OP repaints these days to begin with.
>>11731378I like him alotI will admit I am a optimus prime slut and I had a big fondness for the G1 toy but legacy G1 prime is fun. Nice update to the classic transformation, solid possibility, great light piping for the eyes, 2 guns! He is a fantastic desk fiddle former. Only real complaints is he really needs some paint or toyhax stickers to make the details pop, the pegs on his guns can be odd as they and his hands are painted and some may prefer him to be in a bigger size class.
>>11731329Jokes on them. Now I always wait for the second or sometimes 3rd release and get either whatever comes with the best accessories or what goes on clearance and to ROSS.
>>11729945God, the G1 decepticons are so fucking boring.
>>11731465At least they're not the BW predicons
>>11731455>Deluxe G1 primeWatch outHis wheels melt plastic (not the one made up his wheels though)
>>11731358>It wasn't the wrong colors thoughYes it was.
>>11731491Does the plastic it melts at least solidify once it's not in contact or do I have to worry about finding traces of destabilized plastic slime forever now
>>11731378The second, with the upgrade stacks and stickers
>>11729948I like how the bottom of OP’s feet are painted black so it ends up being more Jetfire armor when combined
>>11731491Damn that's a shame, I assume the wheels leak plasticizers or something? Does this effect other parts on legacy prime or does the melting mean the tires damage other plastics/toys they rub up against?I have had mine out on a shelf or on my desk since I got him and if I do store hin he will go into a baggie by himself like the rest of my stuff. Wonder if I should start putting a pin hole in baggies to let them off gas.
>>11731491do beachcomber and sandstorm's wheels do that too?
>>11731378Listen to your heart
>>11731305>Target basically ending exclusives, trying to get this Hound will be impossibleI don't understand. He's out. I just got mine delivered.
>>11731328Hound thinks you're cute
>>11731305>And with Target basically ending exclusivesWhat are we basing this on exactly?
>>11731381He really is excellent and I should grab the Legacy Optimus too at some point. G1 toy Optimus has such an iconic look, but I can't bring myself to spend money on the missing link and, as you said, the beauty of the cheaper toys is that you actually aren't afraid to play with them. And if we aren't playing with our toys, then what the fuck are any of us even doing here?>>11731434Seriously and where the hell is my white SS86 already?
>>11731305So are they just making exclusives no longer a thing in target or were going to see the transformers sections on target get smaller?
>>11731524The tires don't affect the rim/sliver wheels, only the blue plastic that composed the legs. >>11731509I think it will slowly get back to normal but the surface affected will not be unmarred. Not a big deal because most of the contact points are rather hidden. I have my deluxe G1 prime taped with paper masking tape around the contact points. It should work as the tire melting issue only came into being with direct contact going from past experiences. >>11731530The answer is yes. ...Even the Missing link primes do this. Not a big problem because the g1 design the tires don't get in contact with anything BUT...having both the cartoon and toy version, I forgot which one, when in cab mode, the under carriage of the arms will touch the tire if you don't line up thing 100%Hell even the earlier reissue G1 hound, when I open it, the tire have already ate through the paint/plastic on the outer side the arm because that side would be facing next to the rubber wheels.
SoSS ONE Thundercracker
>>11731626He's rocking those shades
>*saves you from frameslop*
>>11731673I am very excited for him
>>11731673>>11731674the pants are lazy
Is this better or worse than showing up at Ollie's?
>>11731692I just want the fucking frog >:(
>>11731692I would say better since my ollie's hasn't gotten shit for over a year
>>11731626ONE thundercracker looks good. Never was gonna get the ONE starscream because of the head but man am I liking the blue colors and headsculpt.but man, the tfw2005 posts about the reveal have got to be the most retarded thing I've ever seen. Because the figure was revealed with a limited exclusivity thing for Hasbro China so many lead-poisoned troglodytes on the forums were thinking it was a Hasbro asia exclusive thing and not a mainline release, even after it was explained to them. I finally understand why people hate the tfw2005 boards now.
>>11731699One of my favorite lolcows is the Sunbow boomer who refuses to buy MP(G)S and just shows up to complain that SS86 isn't accurate enough to the cartoon.
>>11731673>>11731674I hope they don’t drop the ball with QC issues on this one. It looks great.
>>11731726>I hope they don’t drop the ball with QC issues on this oneWell Deathcobra's waist is backwards in the product shot.
>>11727273>>11727277>You act like that's not 100% gonna be the next thread OP image>>11729945You sit upon a throne of lies.
>>11731727I'm pretty sure he has full waist rotation, so that's just a fuckup by the cameraman.
>>11731741Yeah, also his lower legs are inverted too so he's simply mistransformed. I wish I'd gotten this guy but I'm not sure my country could.
>>11731727I dont see how anyone is excited for these.Were at the stage now were people are fucking stupid enough to pay Hasbro 300-400 for a combiner that would of been 100 if sold in stores.Then we get the lies of 'stores wouldn't stock it so you had to pay the haslab tax' yet is actually Hasbro just didnt want to sell it in stores because just like their 'selects' line this is designed to fleece people.These look awful to boot. They look like 30 dollar kos. Hasbro TFs already suffer from hollowed out legs/arms and waists but these just look like simplified kos.The leg bots have wide shins that dont fold inwards, liozack is too small, the arm jets look like reused combiner wars aerial bots.
>>11731786have you tried not being a faggot?
>>11731789oink oink
>>11731786I agree anon, they look really bad, especially after how good Deathsaurus was
>>11731786You can't even get a combiner torso for $100 in stores these days
>>11731819It's funny how people always forget about the price hikes when talking about Haslab.
>>11731786This whole post is sour grapes.
>>11730612Let people have fun, cocksucker.Honestly, if you don't like the idea of Scourge as a Pirate Ship, then you're just a faggot, bro. I can't help you
>>11731830Sour grapes how? I gave up on this bullshit of a scam Hasbro is running.I only collect mps now.I have moon studio raiden for $300 all boxed and practically brand new. Has diecast parts and is a much bigger scale.Yet hasbro are charging more for a toy that looks like a simplified ko and can anyone trust Hasbro after the recent shit with their factories and cutting corners?Because I'm sure everyone is happy with cyclonus's grey parts turning brown. Same with soundwave and others
>>11731727these look like combiner wars figures
>>11731898And thats a good thing
>>11731378You should listen to your own brainDoes it look cool?Do you like the style?Are you a fan of it's colors and details?I personally, really liked him honestlyEasily one of the best in LegacyI'm still hunting the White Magnus versions. Would be cool to see that go into another release or hopefully DNA Kit makes a Magnus trailerOr somebody
>>11731673>>11731674Entire shitshow. Actual scam lmaoSaved fucking $600
Redwing, Nocel, Hot Link
>>11731626>>11731645I'll be the one to actually post the picture then
>>11731940Crazy how much a good headsculpt and some different colors can do for a figure. This looks miles better than ONE starscream.
>>11731786Sour grapes post
>Seekers Re’Toole oh SEEKERS RE’TOOLE>A nosecone-shaped helmet, so pointy and cool>Seekers OH Seekers, Dirge, Ramjet, and Thrust>They’re different from Starscream, so buy them you must!
>>11731886>I have moon studio raiden for $300 all boxed and practically brand new.It's ok anon, you don't have to lie to impress us.
>>11731940"I got this shit onLook at that guy. He does not got his shit onBut I do"
>>11731886As a long term MP/3P collector, you're basing it off the price of a discounted used figure and not the actual cost. by that logic, I could luck out and get Haslab Liokaiser for like $60 and consider it a great value if that happened. $300 won't even get you two of most of the newer MP scale combiner limbs these days.
>>11731956(you)
>>11731940Copper-ricin image
>>11732012Yes, that is a terrible cropping job. No, I will not go back and do it better.Not before we get a proper stock image at a reasonable resolution and with an easily cropped colored background or just transparent from the outset.
is ONEdercracker in wave 2 or wave 3
>>11731786Maybe it’s just me and my dumb financial illiterate hind-brain, but I feel like people always judge the prices of figures without accounting for the diminishing purchasing power of the dollar as inflation increases over time. (And to be clear, economically speaking, that’s normal and it’s supposed to be doing that.)Like yeah, I remember when Voyagers were $20, but 20 bucks could get you a lot more in general back then. (And hopefully you’re income is also at least keeping pace with inflation, so $20 is also easier to come by.)
>>11732019I should have use this chart for pic related instead, since it’s based on the purchasing power of $100 when Transformers was first started as a brand.
>>11731734Sorry. Got busy the last 3 days
>>11731931How did you save 600 on a thing that costs 300?
>>117317861) I don't really get it either, but I don't care about them as characters2) if released at mass retail, they'd be smaller and sold as 7 deluxes.That's about $200Another very real possibility is, like the constructicons, they'd be sold with the torso being a commander class 2 pack, which would be 90 bucks instead of 56. So around $230Which is waaaaay closer to what they're actually paying for.3) mass retail doesn't just have to sell, it has to sell BETTER than other options. And something that takes up a commander slot and 5 deluxes means putting an actual main combiner, one that showed up in America, their primary market, on hold, or waiting until 2029 to release figures as a combiner, one that'll 100% sell worse than any other combinerAnd that's IF they don't do abominus, or predaking, or piranaconSo yeah, people are willing to spend more because the odds that they'll get another shot at it is extremely low.The mere fact that they were willing to do deathsaurus and liokaizer at all after the disaster that was combiner wars version shows hasbro at least feels there's SOME demand, even if this was the best way to get it to market.
>>11731673>>11731674>>11731727Best modern combiner so far>Nice proportions for both combined and individual modes>Posable >Don't require extra parts to combine (except for the waist)
>>11732077Nah, the individual robot proportions are far from ideal. A good chunk have tiny heads or are too bloated.
>>11732022>>11732019>be in canada>deluxes are $35 voyagers are $50 and leaders are $80>theres 14% tax on top of this
>>11732119Hearing the Hasbro CEO say that the new prices are unrelated to tariffs and that they won't lower them even if tariffs are removed and/or they get their tariffs refund was wild. Let's see how long the size classes survive. I've pretty much passed on everything this year or gotten stuff at huge discounts. After I complete the 86 seekers and Bruticus, I'll almost cut my transformers spending to nothing.The only things that could pull me back are the Powermasters, Sky Garry and Grandus. I doubt we'll get them anytime soon.
>>11732119That's what you get, Curling cheating canuck.
>>11732058Because he's histrionic and needs attention. Very common among /tfg/ posters.
>>11732064don't forget, two of the Constructicons were sold as Voyagers
>>11732012i didnt see One but this cracker looks actually good compared to that starscream. i might just get him as a standalone figure despite no interest in the one line
Me Grimlock too expensive. You pay big bucks for me and 2 accessories.
>>11732345Now should I take a bullet and preorder him or gamble and wait for discount. Nemesis vanished from preorders while others rotted.
>>11732346Depends on if you're rich. If rich, go ahead and buy the figure. If not I'd just put it towards retirement and put the money towards a nice grill and some high quality steaks and enjoy the outdoors. There's beautiful smells that come off the grill, the cooked meat is delicious. Much more satisfying hobby.
>>11732349*and=or
>>11732349Or plan my trip to any asian country to find wife. Also great idea with grill, it's getting warm enough to sit in garden.
>>11732345I would love this if it came out like a decade earlier back when I still gave a fuck about collecting Bayverse figures
>>11732345I have two of these already. Is this an upscale? It says it’s just 15 inches. The one I have already is pretty big.
>>11732119Fucking syrupeans get what they deserve for cheating in curling!
>>11732345So long Titan Class, you had a good run.
>>11732012surprised a pair of shades and a new coat of paint is all it takes to sell me on a design I didn't like before
>>11732345So fucking glad I don't care about Bayslop.
>>11732399Also new cooler guns. But I agree both colors and headsculpt was dogshit on original. At least we might have a chance to get Slipstream that doesn't suck and stand-in for BWII Starscream with One Thundercracker.
>>11732345>Star Convoy was 150 and was already bumped to 170 due to tariffs.>Despite being in a similar ballpark, Grimlock shoots all the way to 190.Grimlock looks pretty rough as well.
>>11732418And its got less shit than star convoy as wellaccept the titan class got cucked by budget cuts
>>11732345Can they just axe the Titan class? It's just redundant at this point and I don't think we've got a single good figure from it besides maybe Star Convoy.
>>11732345I was surprised to find Star Convoy on shelves. I'm comfortable waiting for Target to put Grimlock out and have a sale.
>>11732424Hey, Omega Supreme is fun. So are the two ships.
>>11732429I love my trypticon too
>>11732424Black Zarak is one of the best toys I've got.
>>11732431Him too.
>>11732424Fuck you scorponok and omega supreme were great
>>11732429Nemesis has a decent vehicle mode and a ridiculously kibbly robot mode. Ark is a giant Soap Bottle. I will give you the Scorponok mold even though mine had dogshit QC and maybe Omega>>11732431If you want a good Trypticon just buy the G1 version
>>11732121covid fuckin broke them, they're having to spend a lot more now to make sure they have a dynamic supply chain and that's the main reason for the price increases.They probably just put off the price increases during the inflation surge to sustain sales, then started increasing the moment they saw inflation slowing downA cutthroat, but fairly tried and true business method
>>11732424Nah, make them better
>>11732424Star convoy, Trypticon, scorponokHonestly, scorponok is probably the best they've done.
>>11732448But my trypticon is a good trypticon, and I enjoy him, and im glad they made him as a titan class.
>>11732467>Never got my selects Trypticon.It's been months and I'm still pissed.
>>11732467>>11732431Trypticon is a good boy
>>11732345yeahhhhhhh, not seeing $180 in those pics
>>11732424You're just a faggot anon. Axe yourself.
>>11732481RODIMUS! NO!
>>11732345They won't be making all the dinobots lol, nobody is going to buy this garbage
>>11732345>>11732346Absolutely just gonna go Wei Jiang. Just ordered one lmaoThis is wild>>11732424Fort MaxTrypticonOmega SupremeScorponok/Black ZarackArkCybertron Metroplex>>11732546Just gotta hope a 3P does a bigger SlugAlso guysI hate to point it outBut it looks like his T-Rex Mouth doesn't closeGenuinely can't find a pic online showing it closed and judging by the roof of the mouth/back of throat, his tongue and bottom of the mouth it really does look like it can't
>>11732562You're right, there are no pictures with its mouth closed. Even the Studio Series leader could close its mouth.
>>11732424Seethe more for me, Scorponok and Trypticon are both great.
>>11732424>ISHYGDDT
My G2 Dinobots Sludge and Swoop are in my pile of loot at BBTS now.
>>11732345Did anyone really want Grimlock to have the top of the dino head on both shoulders? I know that's how the movie did it, but this guy really suffers for it.
>>11732462>>11732481>>11732586>>11732600The king approves
>>11732627>did anyone want the Studio Series figure to look like the movie?Do you eat glue?
>>11732424just admit you're a soft little mini-con f(r)aggot without the strength to handle a real mech's ratchets
>>11732633The point is the Leader did it just fine by having the top split and make up the front of both shoulders.
>>11732483>I don't CARE if it's another word for "Black" that's NOT my name!
>>11731455Eesh. I thought the Missing Link remake idea was cool... but this "United" shorter one? Seeing it side by side like this with an OG... ouch. As said, might work on a desk top in some office where people still sit at desks, but... oof.
so i guess we are at the point they're openly selling core classes as deluxes now if powerglide is any indication
>>11732760Yeah but it's like 20% the cost of the ML is the thng
>>11732760what >>11732768 said.Legacy OP also comes with two guns, so one for Devastation OP if you decided to grab him. Plus he has 5mm ports on the shoulders and legs and feet so you can do weaponizer stuff with the original design (if you care) Legacy OP, also, in my personal opinion; updates the classic design in a way that works well. The forearms are shortened and made chunkier instead of having the skinny issue in the center. And instead of having the cool but kinda clunky truck-back fins on the shoulders with a completely hollow back, the back fins have been turned into an actual head-hiding backpack which fills out the back as well.He's a very nice figure for the cost. I hope hasbro re-releases him in the Walmart retro line with the earthrise trailer and the centurion pack roller in a classic-styled box
>>11732760h ah afunneh Prime
>>11732872thought they'd be biggerbut still pretty cool
>>11732345how big is he? better be tidal wave size for that price. or is it going into paint deco like dramatic capture
Take me back07 truly was a different time
Having all six of the "main" ER Seekers I gotta be honest, they do look good together. They're not perfect and I am interested to see how SS86 Thundercracker compares when he gets in but I do like them. If the SS86 mould completely blows me away I MIGHT swap out the main three but the coneheads are staying for sure.Also whilst I wish she had more retooling, Slipstream doesn't deserve the hate she gets. Nice little toy.(Pardon the overexposed photo, still getting the hang of OpenCamera. I do have a proper digital camera, should probably stop being lazy and use it.)
>>11733037You need a couch for Slipstream.
>>11733054Kek, I did think of that after I took it. I do have the SS86 throne...
>>11733037why is Starscream looking at her like that?What is he planning?
>>11733058He wants to give her a mid-air refuel, if you catch his drift.
>>11733037
>>11733061>S-starscream!? But we're sparkmates!>>11733037They do look pretty nice as a set, especially the coneheads. I've still got the Classics guys but the more I see the newer mold the more I want to commit to upgrade.
>>11733147>>S-starscream!? But we're sparkmates!>Stepscream? What're you doing??
>>11733147Bow Chicka Wow Wow
>>11733061Why are you dragging Drift into this
>>11733168>putting the great sword in the side scabbard It fits on the back, dammit!
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
>>11733191>seekered
>>11733190>dig Drift out of storage>his sword has a huge bend to the leftuse the other hand, Drift my boy
>>11733191Reminds me of this pic I took a couple years ago. Loosely based on (VERY loosely kek) when they had their 5 on 1 battle in the Savage Land in Marvel.
>>11733214>"Me Grimlock not sure about this...seem pretty gay. Not that me Grimlock think anything wrong with that, me just not roll that way!">"Me Sludge agree. Besides, Shockwave not even cute trap, just regular dude.">"Yeah, Me Slag not getting horny looking at Shockwave. And me Slag always Horny!...Because me Slag triceratops?...Three horns?"...Me Slag get my coat..."
With how much they've reissued and repainted the SS86 Dinobots, when do you guys think they'll make them in their Toy/Marvel colors? Or at least Grimlock; I've been holding off on getting them til these versions. (There's technically the comic-shaded Grimlock, but that's really not what I'm looking for).
>>11733203Gotta store him in vehicle mode with the sword stowed on the underside to keep it straight. Time to get out the hairdryer anon, fix up that greatsword.
>>11731320Pretty happy with my version!!!FACT!!!
>>11732012>>11732345>>11732346>Can parry, Son?I picked all the green/movie accurate decos of the various mainline molds for this character.Note: That’s a Voyager, Leader, Titan, and more recent Leader, respectively. So the images are very much not to scale
Anyone else get their Liokaiser shipping notice?
>>11733286I never liked SS leader that much honestly. I hope titan will feel better in hand.>>11733214>You are locked here with me>>11733191No matter what I just can't like this Slipstream. Nullrays and terrible headsculpt kills it for me.
>>11733317>>You are locked here with meIt becomes funnier somehow when Grimlock is in dino mode.>No matter what I just can't like this SlipstreamI was very disappointed when she was revealed, but I grabbed her anyway. She should have been a seeker and I'll die on that hill, but taken as she is she's still a nice looking robot. I just sort of headcanon her to be Windblade's evil sister in my "shelf universe".
>>11733320Grimlock is so silly and dog-like in dino mode it's easy to forget he's also a grown-ass Autobot with a flaming broadsword
>>11733295Is it supposed to be out already?
>>11733295What? How? Its not supposed to be out until Fall.And SHOULD be out in Fall. Not rushed and full of QC shit.
>>11733286Which version of the voyager is that?
>>11733320Well One Slipstream and SS Skybound might save us once they get made.
>>11733333Movie the Best, aka Studio Series before Studio Series. RIGHT before, too, since SS started the year after
>>11732976That is some delicious light piping.
>>11733286Is it just me, or is the Studio Series Leader significantly more accurate in general below the waist, than the Titan?
>>11733371Also, lol, the background-less stock photos completely mis transformed his back-skirt and knees.
>>11732345>>11733286>>11733374Here’s a view of the sides and back. Seems he’s got a pair of pods behind his hips that I don’t think you can fold away. They’re not super noticeable from the front from the looks of the stock images though.
>>11733403And here’s a big dumb proto-bird chasing its own tail.
>>11733403>>11733405Man so Anon was rightIt really can't fucking close it's mouth. $200 + Tip + Tax + Tariff + ShippingCan't close his mouth
>>11731786>Liozak is too smallAccording to what?
What’s the new HasLab this year?Shouldn’t we know by now?
>>11733441Haslab might be on hold until after people get Liokaiser since if he has any QC issues nobody will back anything else.
>>11733450They already said that they wouldn't reveal it until after Liokaiser started shipping out.
Surely it's animated Omega Supreme
>>11733469I hope it's a simpler set of figures. I'm sick of combiners, just give me Animated Omega, Sky Garry with Grandus, and all the powermasters.
>>11733405I see Cyber world Grimlock.
>>11733405At least the tail looks nice this time
>>11733403>>11733405F's in chat for the Titan Class.
Ready to return this back to Target.
>>11733504Will they take it like that?
>>11733504what's wrong with it?
>>11733506Anon, I…
>>11733505Should be good to go now.
>>11733509Ya. To China.
>>11733405
>>11733513Kept the accessories though.
>>11733504>>11733509Certified niggotry holy fuck
>>11733522Fuck hasbro and fuck target.
>>11733522Save the outrage for the small businesses.
>>11733509>good to go>no cum stainsIf you are going to be a scumbag, go big or go home.
>>11733506>>11733508nta, but seriously, what's the problem if there is one?
>>11733558Looks like anon is exchanging the last Hot Rod for the latest one, but idk what the differences are besides the new one having a fishing rod.
>>11733561mostly just different colors. they fixed the yellow on the alt mode roof.
>>11733522Wait till you see all the battle damaged megatrons with blue legs
>Such a broke faggot he's literally scamming a return to save like $30-40
>>11733588Lol
>>11733504>>11733509>>11733521You're an absolute piece of trash for doing this, and I hope you never find any of the figures you're looking for ever again.
>>11733526The thing is, you're not hurting Hasbro or Target. You're hurting the next sap who they end up reselling your Hot Rod to. You don't seem to be the type to understand empathy, but try, for a moment, to imagine you were the one on the receiving end of this - you'd be LIVID that someone cheated you out of the figure you wanted and all of the accessories he was supposed to come with, and you'd be damn sure to come here and bitch about it so that everyone knew you'd been wronged. If you wouldn't like to have it happen to you, then why the fuck would you do it to someone else?
>>11732874100+ burgers each and they're not even large leader sized. Just fuck off takara.
>[Inaudible Goblin Noises]This guy fucking sucks
got an email from pulse that g2 swoop and bro are gonna ship soon. nice >>11733679fuck you, infernacs are cool and calcitron is cool
>>11733681His arms pop off a lotBackpack pops off a lot tooAnnoying to transform because he's so stiffHis tire tits are funny thoI find him really weak but remember some of the other Legacy releases so he's not the worst
>>11733695only part of the transformation I dont like is his tire tits since it feels like you have to bend them to unclip and it feels like they'll snap. I keep all the infernacs in robot mode though or a fan combiner mode. I wish they turned into rocks rather than veicles to further do the Rock Lord gimmick.
>>11733706Glacial Car is kinda cool thoI got the Thundertron mad cheap so I was like "Cool Ice Golem Sedan" for freeI'll prob come around but man the Front Tires/Chest Pecs are so absurdly stiff

>>11733711welcome back hot house
>didn't like all -izers>hate junkions>hate rocks>hate limbs popping off
>>11733739I like all the -izers except the AIR ones from Siege and Earthrise that only turned into bases and had no vehicle mode. Baseformers have always been lame (that includes Omega Sureme and Trypticon)
>>11733752>Baseformers have always been lame (that includes Omega Sureme and Trypticon)gr8b8m8
>>11733695>Backpack pops off a lot tooThat's supposed to come off - it's his shield.
>>11733739I just hope I don't regret not getting them whenever Energon/Superlink Optimus gets updated. I can see Hasbro making Optimus the ultimate weaponizer by making his drones weaponizers and attached by sliding into the slot and closing it with a 5mm peg similarly to Toyrise GaoGaiGar so slapping -izers on Optimus would be relatively easy and perhaps more stable.
>all this elita glazing as of recentlywhy they're so adamant in putting her in everywhere?
>>11733771It's really weird. Arcee is way more well known and, as far as how she's depicted in The Movie, a pretty strong female character by the standards of the time.
>>11733509>>11733521What an absolute nigger you are.
>>11733775>Arcee is way more well knownYeah, but IDW pretty much destroyed her reputation. She'll forever be associated with being a tranny, even in works where that's not the case.
>>11733771It's because she's Optimus's love interest in most continuities. They're trying to expand the core foundational cast by including fembots so what better way than the one who has a significantly close relationship with Optimus so they can milk their drama for the years to come.
>>11733522>>11733544>>11733561>>11733589>>11733588>>11733632>>11733646>>11733784Man, you gotta know you're doing some fucking vile shit when even people on 4chan of all places are decrying your behaviour as unacceptable. Holy shit what an asshole.
>>11733509tfw I actually want the red one over the pink one and Id gladly trade for an old red one
>>11733808Did he expect everyone to cheer him on because some other customer is going to get stuck dealing with his niggershit?
>>11733799she'll always be my wife
>>11733775>>11733799>that one segment in one generation of comics will forever overshadow her original and all other appearances and iterations of the characterI don't like trannies showing up in media either, but rn the only person who needs to take meds is somehow you and not them
>>11733818Why does a robot need vagina bones?
>>11733820not that anon, but he has a point. every time they swap a character into a minority version (black, gay) they insist on keeping the character locked that way or else the progressives screech. look how many times they keep reverting Catwoman back to black.
>>11733853they're load bearing
>>11733855unfortunanely nobody cared
>>11733859I don't know what you mean
>>11733799>She'll forever be associated with being a trannyThat's just (you)
>>11733820I think that's only how the fandom here remembers her due to modern 4chan's obsession. Most of the people I come across elsewhere just remember her as the hot robot lady who gave them funny feelings watching The Movie as a kid.
>>11733880but are those the majority of the fandom now? or is the majority the type of people who populate the wiki
fuck off
>>11733769>I just hope I don't regret not getting them whenever Energon/Superlink Optimus gets updatedLol as if those twats were based enough to adapt some of the best designs from that era.
>>11733771Don't worry it will end after Skybound made everyone hate her.
>>11733775>pretty strong female character by the standards of the timeNah, even in '86 there were one off female characters that had more to them then Arcee had in both the movie and season 3-4. Arcee's issue was that she could never settle in any particular character type so there wasn't a clear cut version of the character that future iterations can build upon or change.
>>11733962Cartoon Arcee had a character type. It's just that she was a nice person and not an angry bitch so a lot of progressives moaned about until modern comics turned her into a psycho tranny
What the?
>>11733978Sure, why not. Whatever makes them cheaper.
EVO-FUSION
>>11733978Hm. It would be nice to have a separate frame for Nexus...
>>11733978basically what BBTS does. i saw they had megatronus for 42 which is a steal given he goes for 75 now but it was already sold out
>>11733889tfwiki has always been fags and dont represent the fandom otherwise the idw comic wouldnt have sold like shit
>>11733978Is this US only?
>>11734025comics just sell like shit and latter stage IDW sucked with the crossovers the g2 comic was the dying breaths of transformers before it went ape and the numbers it sold would put it in the top comics sold lists of today
>>11733996Man, I really want those new Gaogaigars, but 250 for them is insane for ehat you get.
>>11734025to be fair no matter what the comics would've sold like shit regardless, comics by then were outsold by manga
>>11734025> tfwiki has always been fagsReally?The opposite is true, they’re gatekeepers from fags and that makes them angry
>>11733994but why now? Does Hasbro suddenly have a large stock of banged up product. Was a ship from Taiwan hit?
>>11734065>The tfwiki gatekeep from the fagsthat could not be more wrong
>>11734065>g1 MISB Overlord
>>11734067Maybe they've had issues with returns due to damaged boxes and are now just selling that stock at a slight discount to avoid that issue.
>>11733695I still think it’s hilarious that all 4 versions of this mold look like they have inner-sideboob tires.(For some reason it was inordinately hard to find a generic, or even just decent, female example of this art meme. Everything I found seemed to be some combination of, badly drawn, bad example/pose of the fashion, outright not even the right cut, or male. I don’t even know who pic-related is, or what, if anything, she’s from.)
>>11733808I’m like 50% sure it was mostly just deliberate bait. And I’d only give it a 70% confidence that anon even returned it at all.Still annoying if it was bait, but hey, at least anon put some actual effort into it and made it something believable. That’s more than can be said for 90% of the trolling on here these days.
>>11734067Maybe the possibly indefinite increase in oil prices from the Iran war (shipping costs)? And/or the 15% universal flat tariff for Burgerland? Genuinely not sure how much or little of an effect either of those has when operating at Hasbro’s scale.
>>11734107>inner sideboobThat's just cleavage or a plunging neckline or slutwear. I don't understand why we need five gorillion new buzzwords for things that have been around since before you were born.
>>11734065>tfwiki gatekeeps fags awaycomplete opposite. Tfwiki is 100% pure faggotry, with hugbox walls that concentrate it even further
>>11733771It's doing soooo well in Comic now manTotally natural way of changeNot at all hot dogshit
>>11734123Every time some fag tries to change shit into faggotry they change it back
>>11733970>Cartoon Arcee had a character type. It's just that she was a nice personSo she has one trait, and it's the "nice" trait. Yeah, my point still stands.
AoTP Smokescreen looks like an Authentics figure
>>11734146as I said, her one trait wasn't "bitch" so all the actual bitches complained.
>>11734127who the hell are you talking about? 90% of the editors spend all their time discussing the gender of every new character.
>>11732874That's disappointing. Might pass on 'em.
>>11734107"Cleavage". It's called "cleavage".
>>11734161neither one looks good. amazing. The leg combination just looks terrible overall and ruins the set for me. Like optimus just snaps his ankles and slides in. They needed to do something else with his feet.
>>11734147it's crazy because the actual authentics line dropped the prime changers (not cyberworld prime changers, these are deluxes) Megatron, and this Megatron is a downscaled ss86. Huh???also prime smokescreen looks better than 86 jazz and the ER Datsuns
>>11734156And then it gets fucking removed by the admin, keep up cunt
>>11733892Make me~ ;3
>>11734224I don't make monkeys, I only train them! Ha ha!
>grimlock is $250 in canada>close to $300 after taxesQ please, for all that is sacred, I cant take this any longer. This place. This world you've created. Its not real. It cant be. I wish to return to my original timeline and life!
>>11734227You see that deluxe over there, Jean Luc? You need it, you have to have it, it BELONGS in your collection, in fact your shelf can never be complete without it. That'll be $45.99 + tax and shipping, Picard.
>>11734215the admins are the ones that do it. what are you getting all bitchy for?Willis is this you?
.
>>11734255He returns
>>11734255is that supposed to be beachcomber? the fuck's goin on with his noggin?
>>11734161
>>11734255>pacifist hippie character >slap a pair of massive gatling cannons on him, and give him a belt-fed machine gun for good measure Seriously, the dude's more heavily armed than freakin' Ironhide.
>>11734255There is some crazy shit going on with that transformation. The roll cage goes to the front to combine with the other bars.
>>11734257Wrong guy. It's his little brother.
>Nu Bulkhead takes down Bruticus on his own Guys, I think I like not fat Bulkhead now.
>>11734365>leaves Prime once bitch queen shows upI don't
>>11734365I hate this push to make Bulkhead some big new character so many years later
>>11734227>>11734234It would be fun to see Data interact with a Cybertronian. They're basically everything he aspires to be since they're robots that feel genuine emotions.
>>11734373Tbf, I agree with Elita.Letting the war drag on has only caused destruction with no end.
>>11734065>>11734025 i just rememebr around 2013 or so tfwiki purged a ton of shit off their pages like jokes about the fmeale characters bein hot and other stuff to be more 'inclusive'. maybe in their early days they were cool but they changed at some point.
>>11734255>>11734257>>11734272>>11734364I recognize that hideous face anywhere
>>11734414The biggest causality were the all the fat jokes. The pages for Cosmos and Grandus are completely soulless now.
>>11734365I'm going to say something controversial here... I don't dislike Legacy Bulkhead.I've always looked at it as what if G1 Bulkhead instead of a redone Prime Bulkhead. Same with Legacy Knock Out.
>>11734433>I've always looked at it as what if G1 BulkheadWhat other way was there ever to look at it? Primefags will cry about how it says "Prime" on the box which apparently magically makes it so, but they place greater emphasis on a fucking box then on what their own eyes are telling them. They also forget that that was a marketing decision and not the designer's. I agree, he's a nice figure.Knockout is ok, but he literally appeared in a G1 comic in that body so again, there was precedent.
>>11734430Probably hit too close to home for the average wiki editor.
Overgear will probably release the origin inspired repaint and use the Superlink character name:Roadbuster, Blast Off, Grand Convoy, Overdrive
>>11734255Confirmed fake, just some chinaman's pet render project.
>>11734414meanwhile, Prowl's page is still full of prick jokes.but don't have bitch anywhere because that's a "gendered insult"
>>11734449>>11734433I usually just headcanon the CHUG universe as it's own thing, heavily G1 based but everyone else is running around there too. I don't park the figures to any specific universe.
>>11733799>She'll forever be associated with being a tranny,literally hasn't been referenced since the first IDW continuity ended and given the reception of Nightshade later on, i don't think it'll come back.
>>11734155>making up shit to get mad at
>>11734468they refused to let EarthSpark Prowl's page be filled with prick jokes cause they got tired of it.
>>11734433>>11734449IIRC there was a planned sequel series to to the WFC netflix show for legacy that was literally the multiverse continuation of all the bots from various universe coming in to help fight unicron but since WFC bombed it was crapped so I do think that's what they're supposed to be G1 versions of the Prime and Animated characters etc.
>>11734479you seem mad enough that you keep responding.
>>11734484I imagine Hasbro doesn't put that much stock to what universe the characters belong as long as people buy the figures. If anything, they might be encouraged to deliberately blur the lines so as not to put off any potential buyers
>>11734488This happened with SS boxes.
>>11734433Desu it is a fine toy and in hinsight it is one of the better legacy voyagers, its problem is that every single retool fucking sucked with heatwave being the culmination of how dogshit hasbro is
>>11734255fake and gay and kill yourself
>>11734484And fucking straxus was supposed to be the main villain of season 1/legacy (untitled). Straxus' design in idw2(019) is straight up his scrapped legacy design, and there was even box art drawn for it.But then they canned the series and since there was no series to explain why straxus looked VASTLY different; well, they quickly threw together the new transmetal 2 Megatron to fill his slot, since updating an older design = easy
>>11734484Let's consider using punctuation next time
>>11734674Thank fuck for that. I don't even want to imagine a world in which that show went ahead and we didn't get Comic Edition Straxus as a result.
>>11734719It would have been written like dogshit like the Netflix trilogy, too. Especially considering they were the same people behind the Prime Wars Machinima trilogy.
Last of Derrick J Wyatt's stuff mixed with some other person's stuff.
>>11734745Neat, Breakaway is a great toy. I wonder if that one has the cockpit mod that unlocks his balljointed neck, I can't really tell from this photo.
>>11734433I hate that he horribly yellows for no fucking reason
>>11734745I love him
>>11734759I've gotten lucky with my Bulkhead not yellowing *touch wood* but at least with Bulkhead there was the option to get the WnR version, where all the parts that could yellow were cast in black.
>>11734719yeah. The legacy straxus design is just kinda trash for straxus. Would be a neat new character/repurposing though, especially if he came with the cape.>>11734728Yeah, probably.. although a part of me wishes that we did get it. I like seeing the toy designs animated. + there was a chance straxus could get the prime wars overlord treatment and get a funny and decent voice acting job done.
takara should release a version of legacy metalhawk in the new legends line that has a die-cast shiny gold colored torso. It would be cool.
>>11734719Such an awesome dude, even if I never read the comics he was from. I was surprised to find that his alt mode is actually accurate to the source material, too - I always assumed he was supposed to be a tank because that's the alt mode every other figure of him had.
>>11732562>But it looks like his T-Rex Mouth doesn't closeyour post made me wonder if any Grimlock figures can do that thing where his lower jaw was off to the side. Totally pointless but could be fun for making a chewing animation.
Man, I really want some extras of certain transformers weapons to fuck around with. I hate that third parties can't just sell weapon packs with cool shit, it always so garbage upgrade kits with tons of filler bullshit.Like the overgear figures. Yes I want those giant guns for my transformers, or MPG Super Ginrai's super conductor rifles with that sexy pivot.
>>11734851i think third party weaponizer parts are a huge untapped market. instead of MP or legends scale updates just do some deep cut character update in gens scale with a shit ton of 5mm items. I wonder if there's some modular system that uses 5mm... i've heard lego technic is close.
>>11734851I've seen some weapon models on those 3D printing STL sites. If you have no interest in investing in a resin printer there are sites that will ship you the completed print for about the price of an upgrade kit.
>>11734851ive gotten like1 gun from toyhax's armory thing for sunstreaker and liked it
>>11734833theres a new legends line?
>>11734879Yes, it just started with the green lion Lio Convoy.
>>11734396But megatron was LITERALLY right fucking there with a lot of high ranking decepticons, no matter how you see this comic got fucking retarded
i hope Unicron shows up in skybound within the next 10 issues so they can end it sooner
>>11734396>>11734958>>11734989Man, this comic talk makes me realize that.. if Transformers completely shits the bed on earth then the G.I. Joe comic will also be screwed over. I'm sure everything is planned in advance but still, Robert Kirkman's writing on TF is negatively affecting the writing of joes and even probably the unreleased mask series by proxy. Sucks.
>>11734719A g1 straxus that wasn't cursed in deluxe size was long overdue. So glad we finally got a proper one. I do hope he gets a rerelease in his darker colors though.
>>11734997>f Transformers completely shits the bed on earth then the G.I. Joe comic will also be screwed over.its already shitting the bed, but lets see what happens next
>>11735016>I do hope he gets a rerelease in his darker colors though.I'd buy that one too. Would be cool if we could get a head in a jar at some point.
>>11734834He's one of the many highlights of the Marvel era, the Marvel UK comics (you get even more stories compared to the US version) are well worth the read, as well as the prequel and sequel stuff written by Furman and published by IDW
>combined mode waist skirt is one solid piece >Deathcobra, who is not part of the team is the best looking bot out of the set

>>11734674>But then they canned the series and since there was no series to explain why straxus looked VASTLY different; well, they quickly threw together the new transmetal 2 Megatron to fill his slot, since updating an older design = easyThat was when they scrapped the idw license too.Idw was introducing straxus specifically to explain his legacy look.It's pretty wild when you realize they repurposed the design into trashmaster.A lot of signs that jhiaxus started as non-wrecked idw straxus before that got scrapped too, though that might've been for completely different reasons. Normal idw straxus was heavily based on the wfc seekers, so they mightve shifted gears the moment they decided they'd start gamer edition. Hasbro gets very tight lipped about "cancelled" designs cause they often cannibalize parts for another unrelated design later
>>11735066They fucked up the paint on Hellbat's mouthplate, the sides should be blue and part of the helmet like in the prototype, this looks wide. Good job Hasbro, you managed to mess up my favorite of the team.
>>11734883Oh I thought you mean Legends class/size
>>11734719I hope he gets a re-release, wouldnt mind having him
My tfcon pick ups so far
>>11735016That being said, that Deluxe Straxus was still a good figure. I kick myself for not grabbing the Botcon version when it was on sale because I realized after the fact he wouldn've made a good Roadblock
>>11735291Handsome bunch
>>11735291be VERY carefull with that brainstorm
>>11735305I'm not afraid of you
>>11735308Its not me you should be afraid of
>>11735310What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>11734770SS toy never :(
>>11735305What's wrong with it.Got me a spittor for $10 probably the best deal I've gotten.
>>11735336He looks well-loved, and now looks forwards to many more years of being appreciated.
>>11735322God please
>>11735336>What's wrong with it.Gold plastic syndrome
>>11735336He's known to be prone to GPS. Frankly, I'd be afraid to sneeze near him, let alone transform him.
>>11735345>>11735355What gold plastic?
>>11735447The McDonald's toys were fucking awesomePictures from japanese twitter not mine
>>11732481Gee axe us
>>11735448
>>11735448That looks insanely high quality for a McDonald's toy
>>11735336Be very careful with a tiny tab of clear plastic on the robot head of this dude. Once it breaks, this toy will always have a remarkably long neck.
>>11735454>>11735454>>11735454
>>11735452It’s a custom made from RotB Rhinox, not from McD
>>11735088The problem is wing head piece is small
>>11735496Both are problems really, but that one can be explained due to the lack of space to store a bigger head.
>>11735016I'm hoping we get a new Thunderwing soon, preferably Leader class. At this point, he's the only G1 Decepticon leader without a new update (that dinky old deluxe doesn't count). I'm still surprised we never got a Thunderwing repaint from Titans Return Sky Shadow.I
