What slop did you buy at TFcon LA 2026 this weekend?Previous:>>11729945
>>11735454I heard Jobby the Hong was there, so I avoided it.
>>11735489Is this bait?Who the fuck hates Jobby
>>11735495Oh I love his videos. I just don't wanna deal with the fans that go to see him.
>>11735489Based>>11735495EverybodyHe's a retarded redit groid
>>11735497Autism and Transformers go hand in hand
>>11735454who is the girl at the table?
>>11735495zoom zoom
>>11735515Thanks for proving my point
>>11735520you zoomers are fucking retarded and worship e celebs way too hard
>>11735454I'm not going to be at TFCon until July, but these are my newest pick ups
>>11735521>Not hating someone means worshiphuh?Also calling me a zoomer is fucking hilariousI hope some day you grow out of your autism anon, though you'll probably stop liking TF when that happens
>>11735540>is this hate? who could ever hate previous little hobby kun? Fucking Faggot kill yourself
I hope they do another TFcon for Baltimore this year, dunno why they didn’t do it last year
>only canadian transformer convention is the woke shit heap known as Toronto>closest big city with conventions near me is Vancouver>had a big toy convention this weekend I didnt even know about>only other things coming up are anime conventions, but because its vancouver they will be extra gay and lame
>>11735529Look at these dorksI think Hot Shot and Downshift may be the better looking pair
>>11735630Cracks me up how Prowl is basically just a facadeDide's got hips up to his neck
>>11735656I thought Prowl's stupid ass skinny legs would bug me more than they do. Having him hold the guns creates enough visual interest below the waistIf anything it's Rodimus' short arms and no elbows that are problem
>>11735679This is frustratingly close to goodShorten the arms and beef up the shoulders and it'd great
>>11735529>>11735630I love the Rodimus even if he's a big chunk boy
>>11735679>>11735687Stuff like this makes me wish I got into TF just a couple years earlier (or learned how to buy old toys before middle school). I don't care how dorky they look, I would have adored these gimmicks as a kid. Hell I currently love these lol
>>11735630Wish he got an update so we have an excuse to get a Checkpoint repaint. I really liked this deco.
My haul so far minus double evil.
>>11735727Why the fuck is he 100 to 200 dollars on ebay
>>11735783Powerhug has my favourite transformers name. Also heroic bugs are cool they're usually predacons/decepticons
>>11735783Man I want a G1 Octane. He's so fucking cool>>11735788Cheaper on JP Sites if you find emManda he's regularly like $110 or so
>>11735783Ashens?But some really nice pick-ups there, even the plush is cool.
>>11735783I love that Game Boy Bee so much lmao.Good haul.
>>11735783Nice haul, is there a trypticon plush from the makers of that scream or is it a custom? That dutch guy with the crazy tryp collection has one but no idea where he got it from
>>11735454>do not touchDenying the poors Unicron's maw gimmick. Can't blame with how greasy the fans are though.
>>11735783What did you spend on Animated Wasp?
how rare is this stuff
>>11736220I assume that's Lucky Draw stuff, then pretty rareLike maybe 10 total pieces
>>11736220that black optimus is LITERALLY one of a kind
>>11736220I really don't know why anyone would by this shit. It doesn't look good, and is only valuable as long as you don't fucking breathe on it. Ugly junk.
>>11736047Starscream is symbiote studios.>>11736123I haggled it's jp for $60 but I probably paid closer to $40.
>>11736283i agree about the all-gold ones, but the black fire convoy looks good. not nearly as pretty as the splendid yellow one though
The line for Garry Chalk was pretty bad because he wasn't able to come in yesterday. The line took even longer because people had him sign multiple items and he had to get out of chair anytime people paid him for photos. One guy had him read a script.
>Starscream was gonna be female.Fellas, we dodged a bullet.
>>11736324He's still a bitch.
>>11736291>$40That's a steal in this day and age. Good job!
TFcon haulMostly just autographs of shit I already had, didn’t buy much new
>>11736336so do you never open those now, or....?
>>11735783
Cripes, I'd go bankrupt at one of those things.
>>11736324which starscream?
>>11736391G1. Back when it was going to be a cartoon on CBS.https://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers_(CBS_pitch)
>>11736291Thanks anon. Also enjoy your octane, criminal that he doesnt have a new toy yet, I approve of such supreme taste in bots
>>11736336>having a voice actor sign an item of a character they didn't voice
Can SS Devastator get some good poses? Every time I try to pose him, he just looks very silly so I just have him neutral stand.
>>11736416Who? The Blurr guy voiced P/CP.
>>11736423I think he can more than othersHe's not AS stiff as I thought he'd be
Stupid thought, but with how the Legacy Elita-1 mold has two guns, do you think the second gun is actually meant for Goshooter when it got reshelled as Minerva?
whoops, my browser forgot my tabs and I forgot about /toy/what have I missed in the last... week or two?>>11735495he's kind of polarizing, but he acknowledges it and doesn't let it bother him>>11735493oh hey, good custom
I'm home and exhausted. I was stuck in that 3 hour line for Garry Chalk to sign my TM1 Primal. I commend him for making it to the show despite the flight delay while recovering from chemo therapy and showing up for the fans and having to put up with signing so much crap and getting up to take photos over and over. After that I just sold stuff I didn't need anymore in the lobby and had some fun conversations with random people about hasbro and what they'd actually make a new mold and not a reissue or retool from WFC/Legacy. Most people seem to agree we're probably getting a new Arcee because ER was so bad they just retooled T30 for ss86. Kup and Blurr also suck and need revamps.Tired, but my haul for today was:- ss86 Gnaw/Sharkticon I found for $10 because they mislabeled it as TR- Go-Bots Bad Boy- G1 Bltzwing complete- Fans Hobby Thomas JP deco - Got an authentics Shockwave the big one
>>11736505man that's cool. Did he seem like he's doing okay?I am not stoked that he and Bruce Campbell are teetering near the grave at the same time.
>>11736515besides his unsteady balance while walking he was talking perfectly fine. He did have to take a 15 minute break, but he was trying to get through the crowd as fast as he can.
>>11736521awesome. hope he totally recovers.
>>11736451iirc one gun was based on Minerva's weapon, while the other was based on Elita-1's cartoon gun (but much larger).
>>11736521Speaking of that, Peter Cullen was looking very old coming out of his panel with Frank Welker. Not that I blame him of course; dude's 84 and did a ton of signings plus that panel, but seeing him walking with assistance and then being pushed in a wheelchair really hit me like "oh fuck, he IS old".
>>11736505Forgot I also got a complete RID Stormjet
>>11736532>cockpit
>white robot with blue wheels on the box>Blue robot with blue wheels actually in the boxWat?
>>11736529I noticed when I watched a recent interview with him and Welker. It's obvious he's starting to have some difficulty organizing his thoughts and putting them into words.It's sad, but I can't imagine him making public appearances in a couple of years or voice acting.
>>11735495Jobby sucks off that TADC troon
>>11736240It's rare, but it's not THAT rare
>>11736601'splain, fucking love YT drama relevant to the hobby
>>11736601TADC slaps thoever
>>11736711he's buddy buddy with Gooseworx, the troon creator of The Amazing Digital Circus
>>11736547That's where the joystick goes
>>11736732is that it
>>11736738had goose on his stream a few times but yeah
>>11736711Fuck you
>>11736768you wish tranny
damn listening to these Joby streams and this gooseworx is a freak
>>11735788KMart exclusive so no one knew about it. My Kmart was actually great for new releases in the 2000's so I saw him but I didn't have the money as a kid.
im at the point where i got all the figures I want except upcoming ones so now there's no real joy or fun in hunting down figures or looking for deals and im not sure what to do now
>>11736529>>11736599sigh.. we knew it was coming. At least we have warning. and you know what? The fact that he's on limited time and he chooses to spend it with the people who love his work? What a mensch.>>11736532damn that is a pretty cool bot right there. love the head fins.>>11736588Blue was hard to print back then?
>>11736758you cannot start judging people by their friends. that's what THOSE people do.>>11736811now you play with em! Or learn how to customize.send us some funny pictures of them together, doing stuff.
>>11736814God I'm gonna be sad when he goes. I was gonna make a joke about him coming back in a year or two after fan outcry but it doesn't seem so funny now.
>>11736814Oh yeah, Cullen's a real one. Not a doubt in my mind that he truly appreciates the fans
>>11736822yeah.. yeah.. it's different when it's habbening.stupid passage of time.
>>11735783>powerhugI love my Retrax so much (as a bug) i keep using and fiddling with him all the time - he even became a bit loose because i used him as a fidget toy.But damn his robot mode is AWFULit's not even just "bad"it's unusable...you literally can't use him...he can't stand. He can't pose.even the shittiest of G1 transformers can at least stand and look like a cool statue...I want Powerhug just to have another cool pillbug
>>11736841i loved that toy despite the ridiculous robot mode, yeah. I feel like, had he come out earlier in the line, he wouldn't have even had hands. the claws would have been his hands.I totally forgot Powerhug exists. What a hilarious and fun guy and a downright patriotic color scheme. Love itJust now found out they were gonna retool that to make a lil unicron minion, presumably because the bug can roll into a ball. but inexplicably, they REMOVED the unicron horns he already had.
>>11736438I love my SS86 Devastator so much - it's a crown of my collection...BUT...I really want to play with Constructicon but i have this stupid autism that tells me that i have to have devastator all the time.Also i want Hook/Longhaul and they are the hardest parts to separate/construct... every time im doing it - i think i will break some of pegs/connections.Does anybody else feel the same?Like...i want to get Hook now but i'm just not going through all that unpegging and transformation again...so i just play with Scrapper or Mixmaster sometimes...
>>11736926Seems like a you problem, I combined and separated the SS86 constructions many times to count, super fun process.
>>11736926i definitely worry that way about Magmatron. had a dickens of a time disassembling him out of the box.also can we just talk about how.. like, I appreciate trying to be efficient in packaging, but packaging a transformer in between modes is kind of the worst of both worlds? I want to pull it out 'whole' in either form, then transform it..
>>11735495Me. He once made the argument that troons were normal by saying they're just as weird as anyone else, obviously scared of twitter troons.
>>11735687>This is frustratingly close to goodStory of those two's life. There's so many cool design elements on both of them but the proportions make them look like dorks.The Rodimus is still my favorite version of Rodimus.
>>11736994ohnoooo he made a shitty argument..maybe focus on the people chopping up the young and vulnerable first. Not those people's secondary victims where they bully them into support.
>>11737020Get the fuck out
https://x.com/i/status/2033588504207495261......Don't explain the joke. It just explains by itself, and it's one that's okay.
>>11737032sorry m8 but you attack the king first, not the serf mowing his lawn at threat of beheading.
>>11737039Face the wall pedoGet the fuck out of here. you HAVE to be trollingSaying shit on purpose for reactions. Vile
>>11737040and I'm sure you'll report it as such, because you're that far down the rabbit hole.. but by all means, keep helping the psychos by fighting poorly and screwing over your ownnow can we talk about transformers? I just saw an interesting video on how the whole '300 years' line probably doesn't refer to G1, or at least can't.
>>11737042in Beast Wars, that is. Blackarachnia's 300 years line.
So just got aotp Brawl in today, neat little guy but wondering why the didn't pin the turret to attach it to the figure. Likes to pop off easily on mine and honestly thinking of putting rod through it
>>11737047Weird, mine is as solid as a rock. Did you shave around the combiner ankle joint to avoid it breaking in the future?
>>11737075I did not and was not aware of that, what should I be shaving off?
>>11737113Basically, the area surrounding the post for the ankle joint has stress marks since it's too tight. Considering how tight it is and how thin that area is, some recommend unscrewing it and shaving the green post until it's tight, but not too tight. I shaved a lot more than I was expecting and it's still tight enough to work as an ankle.
>>11737127Looks like that screw ain't coming undo. Hit it with some wd-40, tried the rubber band method and it stripped a bit
>>11737036What's the joke?
Star Convoy.. realize your true form
So we know how much longer til onslaught releases? Kind of figured he would have been the 3rd combiner release like with the other previous 3 combiners
>>11737208Around March/April, while Jetfire should be around October/November.
>>11737208>>11737221Amazon says August but I'm betting it'll be earlier than that.
>>11737227It's odd cause I've yet to see pre-orders for onslaught still unless I missed em ages ago. Figured it might be soon. So what's the hold on revealing Vector Prime for aotp? I know it's going to be the same one we got awhile ago but I've heard there might be something different about it
Give me a Botanica
>>11736847Holy shit I never seen this guy before he would have been amazing.I think you can detach his hands from his bug parts, but I think he can still only hug.
>>11737227The shipments arrived months ago, it really should be out by now.
>>11737233yeah and they're molded in like a "hi howya doin" handshake pose and the forearms and elbows make no sense anyway, so... yeah, of all the guys who barely benefited from their hands.. so many preds had none.
>>11737221Jetfire reissue?Cause I heard of an Armada Jetfire and we don't have even a single thing to suggest it's real other than supposedly a SKU code
>>11735783What is the Pokemon cartridge Bee from? I know it's probably some 3D printed custom but I assume there's more out there.Also missed opportunity to use the manga Rattrap for the cover
>>11737044what video?
>>11737254hmm lemme see if I can find ithere you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8hBNxg7VCkI like his compromise idea.
>>11736336>having voice actors autograph toys>toys that werent even from an animated seriesISHYDDT
>>11737289do you not imagine those actors in your heads while playing with those toys?
>>11737231No and you're insane for wanting the Beast Machines character who would shelfwarm the hardest first.
>>11737297But he didn't say Nightscream.
>>11737189I never saw this comic, but I did get a copy of G2 #1 as a kid and being old enough to realize the "This is not your Father's Autobot" didn't make sense because G1 was just my early childhood, and most of what I saw in G2 at the time was just redecos of G1.
>>11737297I didn't say I wanted a toy
Anons which one of Constructicons is the gayest? i mean gay-sex way.I always thought it's Bonecrusher (muscle bottom) or Hook (just a silent cool gay dude)
>>11737404Oh yeaaah the Megabolt head was able to attach to Brave Maximus. Cool that it seems to work with any double headmaster.
>>11737341I think people would be more likely to pick him up than potted plant lady.>>11737393Put your dick away, Rattrap.
>>11737291You mean everyone doesn't do the Chris Latta voice when playing with their Starscreams?
>>11737404Oh fuck I have at least gunhand megatron... why have I never done this?mine's the original nerf green release though
>>11737359That's because it's not literally meant to reference the real life time between G1 and G2, but riff on the Oldmobile tagline from the era. Which, almost prophetically, was a massive misstep and credited for part of the reason the company went into decline. If you never heard of Oldsmobile cars, it's because they died in 2004 and largely faded into irrelevance.
>>11736814>Blue was hard to print back then?Anon, he's talking about the new figure that comes with the Missing Link version of Ultra Magnus. Didn't the filename tip you off?
Monstructor's up for order now.Got mine.
>>11737519>augustdammit
>>11737552Wanted it sooner?
>>11737359The tag line was a reference to the level of violence in the book.In the past, Hasbro requires all character deaths be approved but with Gen2 they were pretty much hands off to the point that Furman was able to willy nilly kill off characters in the book without anyone telling him no. To the point he casually killed off combiner team members in particular because he hated combiners and this was his way of never having to write them again
>>11737541Jesus man. This is a blue board.
>>11736505>. I was stuck in that 3 hour line for Garry Chalk to sign my TM1 PrimalI'm so fucking happy he beat cancer for now.
>>11736532This was my favourite toy as a kid because it's the last transformer I bought until the movie came out. And I LOVED the Jetstorm mold. He looked so good on heroic macross colors.
>>11737404HOLY KINO
>>11737519Still hate the Icepick "transformation" I honestly wish they kept Grimlock's alt mode and just added a monster head. It would be less accurate but at least it would be an actual transformation.hoping 3rd party can do something to fix him.
>>11737404we have to go deeper>>11737421or at least Doug Parker doing his best Chris Latta.
>>11737482but that isnt even ultra magnus in the picture, i'm very confused now. don't ML boxes have windows?
>>11737541I thought he was wearing purple pants at first>>11737573I wonder if that kinda thing is gonna fade. when the people who voiced our childhoods die, and we become old and useless, and the young people dont even consume media..
Saw this dumb looking Megatron bean at a dollar store. It amused me.
>>11737680are Mighty Beans back? in plush form?>Megatron, where've you bean?
Thinkin' bout those beans
>well oop in Doncaster we got quite the beans epidemic
>>11737694Is there a Soundwave bean
>>11737712it would not appear so..
>>11737716It's over...
>1 Steps
>>11737738>stats>in 2026Could we actually be so fucking back?
>>11737738>>11737743Not with a price of 89.99 + tax and tip.
>>11737738but WHAT is the team name?
>>11737761whore-cons
>>11737738I'd love to get these guys in deluxe size, I don't really have enough Core-sized guys to go along with this one.
Just got the KO SS Shattered Glass Optimus Prime. Where can I get a sticker for his autobot logo with the appropriate color?
>>11737738Ahead of the lawman~
>>11737771They should've retooled the Terrorcons and Dinobots back during POTP
>>11737556yeah, I was hoping we'd get him in the next couple of months
some ontario canuck Walmarts got sideways and nexus prime out on shelves
>>11737623Fuck off and die you depressing sack of shit just let me br happy someone survived cancer. Fuck you.
>>11737796sorry, I meant to start that post out acknowledging how awesome it is that you're that devoted, and how great these guys must feel, etc etc like I said earlier about Cullen. THEN when I wistfully wondered if that kind of thing would fade, it would seem less.. yeah, sadsacky.I think I was busy and Cartoon Mess Live was on, so I didn't have my thinking straight.
>>11735454What the hell happened to the old "upcoming transformers" pastebins? It's hard to keep track of this stuff otherwise>>11737738I feel the same way about this that I feel about Nemesis. I wanna wait for them both to go on outlet sale before I buy, $90 each is ridiculous
>>11737811A certain guy or several guys started insistently making every thread, long before page 9 or 10, and always leaving out the pastebins, then harassing anyone who brought them upeventually we just let go of it, because we're not mentally retarded. This is how shitty people always, always get their way.
>>11737811>What the hell happened to the old "upcoming transformers" pastebinsBasically >>11737825 thisPlus now it's been long enough that updating them would be a genuine pain in the butt
>>11737827This is why garbage people believe in all-powerful, totalitarian government. They know they're absolute shits who need someone constantly watching everything they do and restricting their options. And they see that same quality in everyone around them, and they're terrified of those people as a result. When you're a crab in a bucket, you start begging for the rubber bands.
>>11737395Hook is the gayest, faggiest constructicon ever.
>>11737395long haul is mega gay because he has to become devastator's hips(slash carry them)and that means carrying a whole lot of ass
>>11737843>gay dude becomes a bottomthat tracks
>>11737847No, this is Tracks.
>>11737859
>>11737859You some kinda wise guy?
>>11737863no, David Wise worked on donkey kong country, I don't think he would be on a 4chan transformers thread.
>>11737866Davidwise, I prefer Kaye.Yeeess.
a bit of implied lore has just reached methe maximal and predacon logos do evoke animal faces.. was their creation, and the whole great upgrading etc, linked to the perfection of organic beast forms? because every piece of expanded fiction suggests that all the beast guys were vehicles until they landed on Earth.I also just now, this second, realized how brilliant it was having Ravage show up.. because being an animal as his MAIN mode, he kind of links the eras.
>>11737875I think in-universe, the logos are just generic faces. They're not meant to evoke animals anymore than the old logos were meant to evoke Prowl and Soundwave.
>>11737738This is derpy and I kind of want it
>>11737885but the old logos were meant to evoke regular cybertronian robot mode faces, no?you could say that's still true, but robot mode faces now have influence from the beast mode. maximal logo is within shitting distance of Polar Claw's mutant head, and Pred logo is pert near Waspinator.
>>11737866I mean, there IS also a David Wise who worked on Transformers. Not the same guy, just someone who has the same name
>>11737903That always throws me off. like the Christopher Lloyd who worked on Frasier, or the Josh Weinstein that was on MST3K
>>11737885A funny coincidence is the Autobit logo resembled Prowl and the Maximal logo looks like some feline head that kind of evokes Cheetor... who was originally meant to be Prowl.
>>11737909it is kinda amazing they held themselves back hard enough to only use the name Prowl twice, and only in the toyline..
>>11737923Prowl is the John of cybertronian names. "Oh yeah that guy's prowl. No, not that prowl. the other prowl."would be funny if the actual g1 prowl had a 'real name' and prowl was just a codename but skybound is too busy shooting itself in the foot to do anything interesting
>>11737925at least they didn't miss the opportunity to give us Scorponok. That would have been fucking retarded.I'm also kinda surprised they resisted the urge to call tm2 megatron 'Dragatron' kinda doing the whole Galvatron thing. Though then the prophecy thing wouldn't have worked.
>>11737825>mentally ill person who needs to be the one to make the OPs always, with the lowest effort shit possible, periodically having meltdowns and claiming he's God or something insane>implying that it'll ever chase away the certainty that he'll be an empty schizo loser, let alone be anything other than a despised animal both within and outside the threads
>>11737940that's not the point.The point is to cause enough trouble that mom and dad (or some standin thereof e.g. the mods, the government, etc) come in and make it impossible to do such things, by restricting everyone's freedom further.That way, he feels safe from empty schizo losers, whom he's fucking terrified of since he sees one every day in the mirror. I think that's just how the brain works. I know I'm sickened more and more by people who share the flaws I'm developing, e.g. baldness.
>Took forever to get Vector cause no real interest (Have Cybertron one)>He hits sales>Still don't get him>3P fixes come out>Genuinely makes him great looking>Finally get him>End up genuinely liking him>DNA Kit sold out literally everywhere or $70+Man
>>11737951I'm not tryin to Captain Hindsight you, but that's why I buy upgrade kits before the figure. The kits sell out, the figures go on clearance. It sounds like you sat on the decision too long.
>>11737951they'll do another run when they reissue him.
>>11737951This is why you don't get copegrade kits with the intention of making bad figures passible. You should only ever get them to make already good figures better.
>>11737983in this case, anon seems to think he looks great with the kit. I would agree that passable is not good enough, unless both the figure and the kit is cheap. like I eventually gave in on all 3 uses of the Scorponok mold, but I gave REAL-scorponok his thigh extenders so he's halfway proportionate, and custom painted all three so they look more natural.
>>11737973Yea I debated grabbing it to start>>11737979This is my belief cause he's getting a rerun in AoTP so I'm sure they'll run it againTill then I'll keep an eye out on places
>>11737404This is phenomenal. I've got an uncombined Fire Convoy, God Magnus, and both Gigatrons. I gotta find something dumb for the combined quad (the fist Gigatrons genuinely need weight underneath to pose them at all) to wield like this.
>>11737983That's why I bought Vector Prime as an upgrade kit for the kabaya Safeguard minicon i had since 20 years ago
>>11738041Huh, I somehow never realized the little sword clock can fit in his chest.
Just need to wait another 20 years for everything to yellow into the same shade
>>11737932After the 86 movie, Hasbro became super hesitantly leaving the Megatron/Optimus names for the leaders. The UT era of Galvatron s at the end of a line were largely to secure copyright since they lost so many G1 names.
>>11735454Does anyone elses zeta toys bruticus struggle to stand? Brawl always seems to be the reason why.why didn't anyone ever make a stability kit for this
>>11738044That's his Cyber Planet Key. The original toy had the Cyber Planet Key slot on his stomach so when you insert it in robot mode it made sounds as if he's charging something up like in the anime where he made a shield out of it.
>>11736220Bottom left box is that Primus toy out of Rodimus Prime>>11736588>>11736814>Blue was hard to print back then?It recreate the individual box of the buggy from Diaclone Powered ConvoySo yeah, washed-out colors are intentional & necessary, no matter how inaccurate or weird it is.
>>11737738I still stand by it. These fucking McDonald's toys look like shit and I'm absolutely buying their goofy selves once this drops on clearance because I love them, but not at that price.
>>11737738i would UNIRONICALLY fucking DIE to have core-class Devastatorwhy wouldn't they do that...imagine having cute small vehicles and smaller Dev.(yeah i know about Blokees and i have some of constructicons but it's not that)
>>11738199They're not terrible, considering the original toys. The only one that actively pisses me off is Icepick. only because there's so many easy ways his alt mode could've been better. Is don't know why they didn't remold his robot mode boots to work the way they did with Scowl
>>11738214the Hulkie KO is liek 10 dollars or something now
>>11738239>turdpartyI need awkward Hasbro transformers
I want another little combiner that's still in scale with the rest of my collection, I like the idea of a bunch of little guys combining just to become deluxe/voyager sized.The last one I remember was the minicon one in T30, I've forgotten if the combined mode even got a name but the components did.
>>11738261Just get Armada Perceptor or something.
>>11738265I've had him since 2001, anon.
>>11738265How about an update to Energon Perceptor
>>11738291Give me a whole line of little combiner teams, that's what the micromaster revival was missing: COMBINERS
>>11738214Well, they did with the ROTF guy...
>>11738345>bayformers
>>11738349What about in G1 colors
Nice one hasbro
>>11738352>What about in G1 colorsok but why the weird proportions. and what the fuck is that ugly -ass head.Doesn't even look like anything - looks like hunched Igor transformer.ew
>>11738368>doesn't even look like anything >describes what it looks like
>>11738368It looks like a gorilla and/or bulldog made of construction vehicles bruh
>>11738354Who is that?
>>11738458Don't recognize that delicious chocolate color? Not that anon but that's clearly Blast Off.
>>11738427You just offended every single gorilla and bulldog in the world.
>>11738464Oh right. I’m not collecting the Combaticons.
look it's okay of G1anon doesn't like bayformers' aestheticit's just to the rest of us, it was really cool seeing a robot with this shape, lookin like this, doin what it was doin.There's so many regular-ass, upright robots who would fit neatly on a slab in a repair bay or something, it's just fun getting something else sometimes. Something that looks like an animal that could fuck you up
>>11738479ditto this. That movie had some just amazing and creative designs. I like digitigrade and hunched guys because they are dinosaurs. And dinosaurs are cool.
>>11738479Listen buddy, it was 'cute' when you posted this barfastic atrocity that rapes everything good about the brand, but the adults are talking now. Fuck off with this bayformers crap and honestly? Don't come back.
>>11738485I'm not your buddeh, fwend.
>>11738479Ruined by time. Like 80% of the monsters from hollywood and AAA games are big gorrila orges like that. It being made out of scrap metal isn't enough to make it neat.>>11738481I like this guy though.
>>11738458>>11738464Yeah its Blast Off, I'll trim the flash on the peg and put a bit of plastic cement on the snapped area and see how it turns out.Easily the worst QC I've had in a while but he'll be an arm 90% of the time when I get Onslaught so I'm not mad enough to go through customer support because of it.
>>11738499It's true that "a mass of shards of things (often with color-coded glowy stuff at the core) forming a hulking ogre" has become fucking cliche (Starlink was the first time I noticed it, and Xenoblade 3 was the most egregious) but at the time, it wasn't yet.
>>11738513Same issues with Brawl and his waist. Unscrewed, filed that peg and heat stressmarks. I miss good qc days.
>>11738485>NOOOOOOO Stop talking about Transformers in the Transformers thread!!!!
>>11738559I mean, there are parts of transformers that I would definitely not want to see posted here, at which point I would probably find myself in his place.. earthspark comes to mind. I'm not offended that he hates bayformers enough to ree that I not post them, I just can't agree.
>>11738310>that's what the micromaster revival was missing: COMBINERSThe micromaster line was missing good, and arguably accessible figures
>>11738485>when you posted this barfastic atrocity that rapes everything good about the brandNobody has raped this brand as hard as Hasbro themselves, especially in the last 10 years
I love bayformers
Give us Dramatic Capture Skids and Mudflap Takara and my wallet is yours
>>11738485You, sir, win the internet today!
>>11738576Unique Toys did it and they were popular enough, so there's interestJust weird to think we haven't got a RoTF SS release yet
>>11738609proportions and especially hands remind me of
I love some of the Bay Autobot designs.Yup.
>>11738619A lot of the toy-only characters from the first few were pretty cool. I still love Longarm, Landmine, Stockade, Breakaway, Hailstorm, Terradive tons of good guys in there.
>>11738631Terradive is super coolI'm pretty sure the trident is still intact...
>>11738576I joked about being in charge of Hasbro and start cranking out the glup shittos, movie concept characters, FINALLY DOING fucking Studio series Evac so Universal has something other than DOTM Bee and Prime, the twins as a fucking leader class combiner ice cream truck with the soft serve being a missile, Cybertron Signal Flare, SG Bee and Scream using the recent legacy and aotp molds, Spittor, etcFuck Chris Cocks and the current team.
>>11738609>Just weird to think we haven't got a RoTF SS release yetBecause trannies at hasbro have the ick for white ghetto parodies
>>11738619You can't say that and not go into detail.
>>11738700I meanit's impossible to hate ALL of them. They're too diverse. Just like it'd be fucking insane to like ALL of them.
which figure released in the last few years has had the best transformation? best of all time?
>>11738707SS ultra magnus is pretty fun
>>11738718I'm holding out hope we get an SG Magnus out of the mold
>>11738707GearsSS86 Soundwave
>>11738707Aotp Quickstrike. As someone who still has the original, I am very satisfied with the engineering.
>>11738698Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeitt
>>11738728the tiny feet/pincers don't bother you? I feel like I could learn to let go of the crotch, and how high the scorpion head sits (just gotta kinda tilt him up to hide that) but.. Them's just disproportionate. He had some goddamn clown feet.
>>11738707Recently? The first thing that comes to mind is SS Megatron, I like switching him back and forth. All time is tough...probably G1 Optimus or Jetfire.
>>11738732They're not that tiny to me. I can still get him standing in action poses so it's fine with me.
>>11738736just saying if youre gonna toss out the character's proportions (in BOTH modes, the pincers look bizarre now), why not make them better instead of worse?
>>11738739A upgrade can fix that easy
>>11738686>leader class combiner ice cream truckThat'd sure be one expensive shelf warmer!
>>11738742are they not pinned?I'll buy him if that comes out. especially if it fixes the beast mode head.. or perhaps gives him fully posable beast mode legs, and thereby allows him to rear up a bit.
>>11738755They are, a pinhole puncher is required.
>>11738757well i do have one of those saved in an amazon cart.. I think.
>>11738707Seaspray and chase come to mind.Maaaaybe quick strike but I dunno if it's just a couple overzealous fans or if they really landed it well.
>>11738763he's also kinda bigger than he should be, isn't he? he's like, T30 Rattrap scale.
Okay hasbroI've solved itHire meStep1: studio series is now THE collector line. It's even expanded a little so it can include any "show accurate" design. They're already doing it with g1 and the games, just embrace it already.Step 2: generations is split. Half of the waves will be current year show tie ins, just a higher quality, and more detailed, less gimmicky. Leave the cheap stuff for the regular show tie in toysStep 3: new tv show: a very generic cybertron is thrown for a loop when quintessons use their spiral ship to burrow deep into the heart of cybertron. Both autobots and decepticons go to stop them, only to find them slipping into a portal. The portal goes dim, and suddenly cybertron does too. The bots come back to the surface only to find it's apocalyptic. Sweeps everywhere, chunks of cybertron missing. Prime asks what happened only to be answered by vector sigma, who explains the quintessons have run amok through time, eliminating the influence of the 13, resulting in unicron taking over the universe.Vector uses his power to charge the portal and let autobots and decepticons stop the quints.Every episode is about righting some specific incident, which let's them meet tons of one off characters from all different eras of tfs. They get to build lore, and touch on alternate timelines like shattered glass or alternate versions of characters, like car arcee vs motorcycle arcee.The toys will tie old and young fans together.
>>11738766>he's also kinda bigger than he should be, isn't he? he's like, T30 Rattrap scale.That's debatable. Beast wars plays fast and loose with scaleBut normally he's almost blackarachnia height
>>11738768yeah and the original toy is already close. This guy towers over the original. I dunno.They didn't play loose with scale at all, the models were always exactly the same relative size.. what they did was if the shot was a close-in, they'd adjust the characters' heights by making one float or one sink into the ground, so they looked right for the scene. Classic film technique. standing in trenches or on orange crates.
Ended up modding my hoist be like the new ratchet where half of the giant arm panels are on the legs.
>>11738774can it still transform?
>>11738777Yeah, everything tabs together just fine.
>>11738781awesome. Nicely done.
>>11738802ayo WHAT
>>11738804they ran out of optimus primes
>>11738700Prime, Ironhide, and Sideswipe in particular.
Eagleboy is available on Pulse
>>11738915This design needed more red on it, the flag isn't ALL blue. Maybe the shoulders and feet, or the crotchplate.
>>11738915He needs a MAGA hat
>>11738915*Eagle girlAlso, Breakaway is up, too, as are the cassettes.
>>11738707To me SS86 Optimus has a very satisfying transformation. I know the backpack is a bit bulky but considering it's most of the truck's "face" and is able to compress into a small rectangle makes it very impressive and memorable to me.
How DARE Unicron?! Cybertron and all its moons belong to me!
>>11739000>Pained Leonard Nimoy noises
>>11739002But remember, we belong to him...
>>11739000Can't say those long legs look good. That mold is in more need of better looking feet.
>>11738261Centurion
Any European Transformers Blokees fans?I'm heavily collecting these-blokees are so cool but...I noticed that we mostly have earlier releases.So...i'm wondering how Blokees releases even appear outside of China?Surely not in time (right now the newest galaxy blokee is Galaxy 9, right?)Because we still have some Grimlock-wave boxes and i was so happy chasing Grimlock because he's difficult to get online.I collected most of Grimlock's wave BUT...where the fuck is the middle of this wave?We now have mostly GALAXY 8 everywhere. I didn't see that much of the previous waves... It's mostly Galaxy 8 and some leftovers of very early waves. The distribution is just weird I guess?Also it's kind of difficult to follow all these "Galaxy 1-2-3-4-5/etc" and "Defender 1-2-3-4-5/ect." - it makes my brain fry - too many waves and it feels like chaos.I guess it doesn't feel like that if you live in China and get a new wave when it's released but it Europe it's weird...
>>11738920I would definitely add some red paint myself, except I'd rather just make this an all blue OC, so I'll just paint away the red.that's assuming this goes significantly down in price>walmart and pulse exclusiveoh... that might not happen.>tfwiki insistently refers to this as a 'they'100% done on purpose. these people need to be put away.
>>11738920I'll be adding some red to the secondary feathers for sure.>>11739114>>tfwiki insistently refers to this as a 'they'I thought it was pretty clear it was a fembot by the fact that she's got both Airazor's head and body. There's no ambiguity here - if they wanted her to be male, they'd have used the Skywarp head instead.
>>11739114You need to stop being so ESL
>>11739162ehhh it wouldn't be the first nor even the fifth time that a mold reuse has had its gender swappedThat said, a twink eagle is not exactly the proper symbol for america. I'd rather it be an eagle babe. After all, female bald eagles are bigger and more badass anyway. Merica. Her name should have been Liberty or something. I want an oxidized-copper recolor.
So did Hasbro stop re-releasing the classic Beast Wars stuff?
>>11739185yeah that line died on the vinethey were only interested in seeing if they could get people to pay a huge overbloated price for old, decaying molds with tons of errors and misassembly and missing paintI don't get.. how it doesn't click with them.. that that isn't what succeeded in the past. What succeeded in the past was doing a good job.
>>11739179>After all, female bald eagles are bigger and more badass anyway.Yeah - whether they're aware of it or not, when people think of a Bald Eagle, it's usually the female that comes to mind.>Her name should have been Liberty or something. Agreed - I'd have preferred the called her Lady Liberty, myself; still, just shortening her name to "Star" works, too, I guess.>I want an oxidized-copper recolor.Only if she includes a matching version of AotP Alpha Trion's Covenant of Primus as an accessory. Sadly, I don't think we have anything that would make a convincing torch for her to hold in her other hand yet.
>>11739193Shame. I wanted an Optimus Bat figure so it could stand in for Nyx.
>>11739196wasnt this character transgender?
>>11739196i want that remade insteadand yes, it'd be okay if they built it around the airazor mold again I guess IF THEY MUST. Just make the bat head bigger this time, instead of just slotting into the torso.>>11739195screw torches. give her a flamethrower. FUCK YEAH Merica.This bird is doing things to me. almost makes me wanna pay retail price. I think I might actually give in at 25 instead of 20.
>>11739208What? Who cares? It's a fucking robot.
>>11739006>Can't say those long legs look good. Height extenders rarely look good.>That mold is in more need of better looking feet.A bought a bunch of upgrades for SS86 Galvatron last year and while I'm happy with the resin printed feet I got, I aways hoped someone would do something similar in ABS.
>>11739208What defect do you have that made you think it was okay to wrote those 29 letters, four spaces, and one punctuation mark?
>>11739196shocked that's not a con exclusive repaint, honestly.
>>11739208A trans transformer that transformed the trans transformation transition in Transylvania.
>>11739213.... of the old convobat mold? that wouldn't really be a match.
>>11739217It'd be small enough though. She's barely taller than Rattrap.
>>11739222it's not an issue of height!
>>11739208It's IDW, so probably
>>11739162the wiki people always do that shit. They push the they/them crap on purpose
>>11739208I feel like if Nyx was transgender, the TFwiki would be bragging about it like crazy, but I don't see any mention over there. You're probably thinking of Anode.
>>11739324I think you replied to the wrong person, as he wasn't arguing that point, and what he replied to was a post that already said what you just said
>>11739332I wasn't arguing with anyone. I was just adding that they've been doing that shit forever. Every character causes a gender discussion for them, even though things are obvious to everyone else.
Nyx and Skold were both 100% female.
>>11739334ah thatyeah I thought that was implied, but I see now that was a relatively pertinent thing to add. yes yes, the duration of them doing that shit is extremely.. durational.
>>11739348So she has Nyxie tubes
>>11736295does he like doing it still?
>>11737404a combiner of myself (i'm guessing? is black zarak megatron?)
lol
>>11738915Something about the color scheme makes the eagle mode look pretty cute
>>11739394You sick fuck
>>11739395right? it's an ODD choice using light and dark blue, and it doesn't look like a plausible animal exactly, but somehow.. it's cute. and I want it.>>11739394I assume what you returned is not actually what you purchased?
>>11739412>I assume what you returned is not actually what you purchased?He's the guy who swapped it with a SS Hot Rod and kept all the MTMTE accessories while he was at it.
>>>/vg/560909348 Posting my idea here too (Shockwave having to deal with a fnaf-type situation with extra aggressive autobots on his station at cybertron), thoughts?
>>11739417ah, a thief.It's so weird to me that there are people metaphorically drowning and they think "well I'll just put some rocks in people's pockets. I'm drowning anyway, who cares. it's only a few little pebbles anyway, they won't even notice."Kinda shows a fundamental brain disorder I think. Bad upbringing will do that. Similar to people who gamble>>11739419that kind of game is beyond dull to me, from the description you linked I was hoping it was gonna be a tower defense or just FPS kinda thing, but.. FNAF? cmon.
>>11739421Tower defence also works but the whole idea came to me first as a fnaf thing. Makes the individual threats more personal vs it being a bunch of clones for the other two you suggested.
>>11739423oh it was your idea, I missed that part when I was ragging on it so hard.Wait why is it more personal? What do you mean clonesOh are you saying... tower defense and FPS inherently have really high body counts, and so it's kind of a break from reality? Yeah I hear that I guess. like how beat-em-ups will have just untold legions of what should be relatively unique or at least rare enemies..
>>11739419>Five Cycles on Cybertron
>>11739434Yeah lol, by individual I mean putting more work into each autobot and even whatever else could be lurking around in the dark “night” of Cybertron trying to get into your base, theres likely a few obvious nasty ones but a much meaner looking Doublecross was my idea for the first enemy added to it, with maybe Megatron on Earth being your phone caller, if not a Decepticon on Cybertron who’s also stationed there from afar seeing what “goodies” come up on your base, since the ones who are attacking aren’t always the stealthiest as seen with the two headed pyrohead here being the first enemy but some of them getting significantly more stealthy or hard to deal with as you get further along in the game >>11739436Good title kek
>>11739394ACTUAL niggatry
>>11739438>>11739434Also with an idea on how to intergrate transformations, making dealing with at least one robot needing you to turn into gun mode to shoot him when he enters your room since nothing else repels him, but making the actual aiming of yourself as a gun somewhat sluggish as a counter balancing act of needing to aim yourself well before firing in fear of missing or being too far away before he gets ya could be one way to handle one of the enemies, though likely a night 3 one if anything with night 2 teaching you can transform in preparation for then, him moving so slowly is due to nobot holding him to perfectly aim him btw
>>11739438yeah I suppose that could be fun.man i never noticed the weird organic arms and feet on doublecross. what was the deal with those?
People are being mean to burger bird and it makes me want to get one to keep it safeT.Notaburger
>>11739444She's a good birb. Just needs a little more paint.
>>11739445>Just needs a little more paint.I concur.
>>11739444You will experience a 150% increase in general Freedom if you have one in your house, FACT
>>11739185>>11739193Two big problems with the reissues, besides the QC errors-1) it came out the same time as Kingdom for around the same price, with older sculpts vs more show accurate and articulated modern ones2) they're not actually accurate to the original toys but attempt minor show accuracy..when there was already the Kingdom toys for accuracy. So they're neither fish nor fowl. It's a real shame it died but the QC issues make them rough to play with.
>>11739208No, that was the similar owl transformer from earthspark.Skold, the bulky female alligator snapping turtle is a snapper pallet swap, so a mold reuse as a female, like airrazor was, but not in continuity male to female
>>11739443Seems like just a theme for all 3 the fleshy limbs
>>11739463>>11739444you're making me want one more.. I have to stay calm and wait for a sale.>>11739472that's what I meant about the overbloated price, yeah.>attempt minor show accuracyoh yeah for megatron that is true, but.. he's kind of the only one, right? wait, the rattrap has a copper head? is that the new one?>>11739499weeiird! I'm still learning new G1 things.
>>11739443>>11739441Fuck lost all my text due to browser reset, was going to be about terrifying autobots to use besides doublecross, and how his mechanic is shut door to fire extinguisher to reset him to the start, dinobots being too much of an overlap due to fire+brawn vs at least 3 or more interesting bots power/looks/overall general personality wise, and about the phone guy/monitor guy being some random seeker like Acid Storm or more likely one of the plentiful glup shitto seekers from the cartoon repurposed into an actual character of an informant (personally would go with the dark green and tan one, like his pallet), and finally about how to distinguish in between each, sorry I’m just really tired and extra wiped out from the post reset. Night
>>11739502Wonder if some of the limbs stuff got reused from some more generic action figure, also fucked up how grotesque has his robot sorta feet forward in monster mode yet clawed feet in robot mode>>11739507See this post for more ideas I had while looking around, I’m going to bed
>>11739507>Fuck lost all my text due to browser resetthis infuriates me to no fucking end. I actually got a browser add-on once that would restore text in boxes after a crash, but it ended up just being laggy as shit (understandable) and barely worked.I look forward to hearing from you in the morning about what that fire extinguisher line meant
>>11739499Release them in a set, Hasbro, you fucks!
>>11739034French guy here, since about last year, retail outlets started to buy them; it ranges from a local geek shop, to huge national retail stores (Fnac, Leclerc etc..)>>11739334How is it obvious? Mark Maher OC's don't have their own bio ffs & with no pronoun in sight, this fandom mostly starts to headcanon these randoms as femaleFor Maximal Bluebolt, Sakamoto drew with feminine gestures w/o a single pronoun so far, but if you know his works, he does that for either women or effeminate men (otokonoko) What is the obvious answer then??
Bought a huge fodder lot of NECA, Joe and ML heads and diorama pieces, but it also head a bunch of left over mixed fodder.That included three of these (Starscream, BB, and OP). How much should I ask for the lot of them, and should I add them to a B/S/T post and once I get my shit together and make it, let y'all know. I'd rather it go to someone on /toys/ who'd want them versus listing them on eBay until someone comes across them since I refuse to pay eBay's sponsored listing nonsense.
>>11739550I see those in the dollar tree store.
>>11739034Poland here, it takes about half a year for local shops to struck deals and order waves. In EU we can't get defender wave 1 since it's meant to be a free gift with purchase. Just order from Ali like most of us. >still need to get recent Galaxy Optimus and Megatron wave

>>11739663>>11739665All they had to do was a basic combiner. The individual robots could've been micromaster sized one step guys and it still would've gotten the job done.

>>11739643>>11739676Who the fuck is THIS autobot?

>>11739643>>11739676>>11739683>>11739685If he was going to end up being a brick why did they make him the lame shitass tfone design instead of Heatwave?
>>11739510Finally back awake, by “fire extinguisher button”, I mean there will be a button to put out fires on the two door cams, probably not just from Doublecross but maybe a later night bot(s) will camp there shooting the doors to try and make them fall to gang rush you, and you have to use turrets to take care of them for example, and the fire extinguisher option heals the door much faster than just letting it regen over time while now being the risk of using it while doublecross isn’t in those two cams and it being on cooldown. Anyways enough explanation about the extinguishers, a relatively more simple but effective bot idea would be a Pretender who goes around on the cameras in his robot and vehicle mode for the most part, but when he enters attack mode he turns into his very battle damaged and withered pretender “suit” perhaps, and gains a fair bit of size from it, either a newly made pretender or one of the more menacing looking actual bot ones, with him being stopped by just closing the door and resetting back (camera hiding character), just came up with this one so sorry if it’s rough
Welp. Guess I'm buying Silverbolt.

>>11738915all they had to do was give the wings red stripes. such an easy layup and they completely fumbled it
>>11739738>and we all know how easy it is to find the limb bots for a combiner.Extremely easy, they all appear at my doorstep inside Amazon packages.
>>11739560>Just order from Ali like most of us.I did until i found the way to raise the chance to get the needed figure.I'll say that just because /tf/ was good to me:>if you want to get any dinobots from Galaxy waves - try to weight the box by hand>a box with dinosaur (t-rex/triceratops/brontosaurus) is heavier>try to shake the box>if there is a regular bot inside - the box will be shaky-shaky with lots of tiny peices inside>a box with dinosaur inside won't be shaky-shaky because there are mostly huge parts like fat body-plates/big t-rex head and big legs/tail and etc.>(i assume you can try to get the Unicron head) the same way (or avoid getting it)
>>11739685KWAB
>>11739750still not worth the trouble.>Here's the 13-I mean 18, whoops.
>>11739502>I have to stay calm and wait for a sale.I don't think Star's going to get any cheaper. She's a limited release being made in celebration of America's 250th birthday, hence why she's an exclusive and not a mass release. I imagine her price is just going to increase due to her limited availability, so if you're genuinely interested in the birb, you may be better off just biting the bullet and getting her rather than taking a gamble and missing out entirely.
>>11739443>man i never noticed the weird organic arms and feet on doublecross. what was the deal with those?There were a few bots like that in late G1, that had organic looking bits that were never acknowledged or explained. The strangest was Fangry, whose alt mode was almost entirely organic.
>>11739807I guess you could decide they were either mechanical bits just sculpted to look organic or they there were actually cyborgs (like >>11739807 pic)
>>11739795Imagine thinking ordering things online and receiving them at your home is trouble. How can you even get out of bed each morning?
>>11739819Could be an evolution of Pretender tech, integrating the organic shell into the altmode directly.
>>11739825They came out the same year as Pretenders (the Monsterbots a year earlier)I personally just don't like it because the whole Organic stuff is a Pretender deal and it makes everything too convoluted for my autism. I just prefer to think their metal skin is sculpted more organically for effect
>>11739824It's more like the extra 5 figures is trouble
>>11739605that would be darling.>>11739724ohhh you're describing the game. right right. Now your post makes sense. you're describing what each one does.
>>11739824Just like those last 2 G2 Stunticons came out RIGHT retard?
In-hand reports confirm Nexus is incompatible with Motormaster's frame.
>>11739833The conversation is about finding RELEASED figures in stores, retard.
>>11739876Him being compatible with Superion's is just a stopgap until they release his own crotch/thighs piece together with some of his limbs I guess.
>>11739876>Motormaster frame>pic shows Superion frame with Menasor legsAnon...
>>11739880Retard, do you know how any of the frames work?
>>11739830>It's more like the extra 5 figures is troubleBut... that's what Nexus is supposed to be, a five robot combiner. That's what people expected at first and why everybody was confused when he was listed as a Voyager.If anything I'll say that there's more people pleased that the thing actually does what it's supposed to do than the opposite.
>>11739807>>11739825>>11739827This is why I find it interesting that late G1 leads into BW fairly smoothly. Not just in a story sense but also in that toy companies tend to go to the well of stuff they've made in the past and revisit it.They were flirting with organic altmodes before, BW just streamlined the concept more instead of just shells or partial organics. Before then reworking it again.
>>11739807Squeezeplay is also similarly organic. The only reason I think Horribull isn't is because the sculptor didn't know how to sculpt an organic looking bull
>>11739560you'd think with your history, poland would be a little more reluctant to pour money into china's pockets, but okay>>11739798grrrr. well i'm not rich enough for bullet-biting. Not on a mold this flawed in the first place, anyway.Anyway, I got Ravage on sale, I just had to wait 18 months or so. Pulse will have a sale to get rid of their remaining stock, and I will be all up ons. I was born at exactly the wrong time to ever get to see a proper centennial anyway.>>11739807huh, never noticed that either.>>11739825in at least one continuity, that's where beast modes came from
>>11739827it's not convoluted, it's just stupid. There's no reason for it to be like that. they should explain that there was some kind of science experiment..
>>11739877It was originally about getting them AT ALL.>>11739730>>11739738since I don't see those limb bots yet DO YOU?WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY? LET'S SEE EM.
>>11739883No, Nexus Prime is one guy who splits into 5 smaller guys. NOBODY was expecting to have to buy SIX figues with FIVE THE FOLLOWING YEAR....MAYBE.It's the 13 not 18
>>11739934>There's no reason for it to be like that.That's why I just prefer it to be metal
>>11739949Fair! But that's.. also pretty weird.>>11739798I INSIST they make way too many of these so I can get one for cheap.
>>11738915They should have swapped the light and dark blues. If they were even gonna include two tones of blue, which they probably shouldn't have.
>>11739971In all honesty, the most likely reason why there's so much blue on her and barely any red is because she's a Walmart exclusive. Just as Target likes to have stuff that's made exclusively for them colored predominantly red and white, Walmart mandates that their exclusives need to be mostly blue and white to match their brand's colors. Hasbro was likely only allowed to put a bare minimum of red accents on her as a result.
Titan Class should be reserved for high budget "unlimited" figures at a higher price point, like Marvel Legends Maximum. Budget for size, paint, engineering, anything. Star Optimus was a step in the right direction and Titan Class should be whatever it needs to be.
>>11739989ohh so what we really need is a Target/Walmart teamup! yeah it's fine, if it were properly red-white-and-blue it would look quite silly, not as natural as this looks. Unless that part was confined more to the robot mode parts, few of which get a chance to HIDE in this mold.I'll just.. wait til I have some kind of walmart points or something.. combine the order with some candy or whatever..
Ah, my Traffic Cone Sludge and Uranium Enriched Swoop have arrived. I really like Swoop's new head - plus he still comes with two swords, so G2 Grimmy can finally have his proper one - not that I haven't already given him a cooler replacement.
>>11740003And the whole crew. They're so eye-searingly adorable, aren't they?Seriously, though, I love these guys.
>>11740004I'm gladI hope someday I can get the kind of dinoformers I enjoy made again, in colors like these.
>>11740000Arguably HasLab should be that too, it's just a shame they kinda shit the bed with that on Omega Prime
>>11740004Don't suppose you have the yellow striped G2 Grimlock, do you?
>>11740007I have him, too. Strangely, I have every version of that mold EXCEPT the original G1 colors. Weird.
>>11739728Save your moneyHe's horrid dogshit
>>11739880RetardI'll even do a new one for you in a min
>>11740014How does he look with the others?
Sometimes going to the ghettoshit Walmart pays off. They're crazily well stocked and since no one there's really gonna buy pricey toys, they've been putting good stuff on clearance.Feelsgoodman.
>>11740019Ehhh...well, he kinda matches the two new guys in that he's actually neon colored, but he's still a bit of an oddball because of the metallic blue paint and the fact that he's the only one in the group with fancy stripes on him. He's also the only one with blue eyes and no gold anywhere - even Swoop has gold on his guns. Robot Mode's not much better, either - his entirely silver head with blue eyes stands out too much against the others, and again, those stripes really don't match anyone else...
>>11740023Nice pick up, especially for that price. A lot of people seem to hate the face/head on that Bee, but I think he's fun.
>>11740047nta but he's one of the best rolling figures in recent memory, up there with fucking pointblank & 86 windcharger. That's pretty cool.
>>11740023reckon Star Eagle will go on clearance?not that I have any way of getting to a walmart. and even if i did, the amount of my time and/or money it would take to get there would surely eat up the discount..
>>11740024Radical Dino Force
>>11740063RAWK AWWNNNn
>>11739880>>11740018Ate and forgot but here ya goHe truly does fucking suck>Superions shins are shorter than Menasor>Even swapping Limb bots feels like nothing because the base frame is still the same>Bots really do just slap on>Brawl entirely incompatible So Superions shins are shorter and Combaticons are entirely different connectionsSo what was the point? They can't even truly swap like you shouldDespite memes the Combiner Wars once again wins there
>>11740053Doubtful, based on the online response it's probably gonna sell quite wellIt helps that the soccer ball guy drove traffic to the transformers section
>>11740083gghghhg.. maybe i'll justify overspending on her since I just got an amazon purchase for free (thanks to intransigence on the part of the seller who made a mistake. and to think, I only asked for a 50% refund.)it's still a pre-order on walmart's site, I wonder if pre-orders count toward free shipping...
>>11740074>>you want scramble city?>>go fuck yourself
>>11740096in fairness, it's a pretty tall order. I've said it before, and nobody's ever really had an argument against it... combiners are fucking hard to do to a modern standard. We demand full articulation, ankle tilts, all of it, not to mention stability. We want real feet, real hands.. and we'd rather the individual parts not have to carry a bunch of junk with them. Not to mention THEY have to look good in THREE modes. I just think we ought to start letting go of some of this, since even 3P Tao magic seems to struggle.
>>11739946>It as originally about getting them AT ALLThe conversation was about the difficulty of FINDING the limb bots. For something to be able to be searched and found, it needs TO EXIST. So no, the unreleased G2 Stunticons were never part of the conversation. Stop grasping at straws and have some reading comprehension.>>11739947So you wanted a compromised and small as fuck combiner? Fuck that, the original toy was a full combiner and the new one should be one too.
Don't go to school tomorrow /tfg/Because it's the weekend!
>>11740118But on Monday...
>>117401163P can do itWe almost had it with Combiner WarsJust needs to not make them so chunky, Easily could have slimmed them and fit the Hands/Feet in them somehow
>>11739933>>11739884>>11739827>>11739807>>11739724I had a stroke of genius for the pretender that would be featured, weird heyahoya sorta styled chief oilem tears styled robot (classic native american motief) robot mode (idk what car a feather drives), and his pretender shell mode is a “modern” american wendigo but cyborg, with some of the detailing being mechanical, its fitting for what I’m thinking, also funny idea (and the thought of stealthy on cybertron “native” turning into a horrid scary creature that wants to steal your casing as his “disguise” fits well but idk how much for a fnaf game). All this shit is 4 am ideas and “wendigo cyborg” hit my brain right
>>11740023>>11740047Y'all need to shop at Ollie's or Ross, I wouldn't have paid more than $5.99/$7.99 for this junk.

You think Ghost of True Capitalist Radio would make for a good toy reviewer... or at least a better one than Bobby Skullface?
I finally got around to moving stuff into my new place and I got one of my bins of loose figures out of storage, i have no idea what to display and what to leave in the bin. I can't stand those "WALLS OF TFs" I see whenever someone shows off his collection.
>>11740260I keep one main shelf and cycle stuff out randomly, right now I've got mostly CHUG Decepticons out but a month from now I'll do something else, all combiners maybe. Just display one group at a time.
>>11740000It's Hasbro we are talking about, prepare to get SS86 Optimus for double the price if they can do thatEven their ML Maximum Series is already a joke of a scam>>11740024Can I just see Grimlock & Swoop with their swords please??(I have the yellow Grimlock while I potentially will buy this pack, maybe i'll sell Sludge but I want to see how these sword will look on these 2 only)
>>11740260Pick a theme, strike some poses and rotate when you are bored of it. Don't let me catch you with a wallformer shelf.
>>11740310Two can play this game
Finally caught my white whale after years of looking not 100% complete yet need the other 5’s guns and one more green clip for the long train mode
I'm ready for winter to stop
>>11740332Wonder if we'll ever get a chug Raiden.
>>11740336>first day of spring
>>11740356Haslab and haslab only, train autism is not as strong in the west.
>>11740372>train autism is not as strong in the westI suppose we'll find out for sure if this is true based on how well/poorly SS86 Astrotrain does since it seems to have prioritized its train mode over EVERYTHING else.
>>11740313>that pathetic dribble Come on, man - you can do better than that!
>>11740125like I said, 3p Tao magic -struggles-i didn't say it fails.also? they have a strong tendency to make the hands and feet their own separate bots, which are not required to have robot modes, just turn into a crab or a pair of cars or something, so..>>11740128it does track that cybertronians would have their own legends, and a beast mode based on those would be funny.
>>11740143well i don't have a car>>11740336son it is 75 degrees here and it snowed three feet four days ago. I don't wanna hear one word against winter. my AC power bills exceed 400 a month.
>>11740275>Can I just see Grimlock & Swoop with their swords please??Yellow Grimlock or Blue Grimlock? Bluelock is the one with the sword that came with G2 Swoop (which is a darker red) while the one you see on Toxitron Grimlock's hip in that picture is the one I took from the regular Swoop.I suppose I could just post both, but whatever.
aaaalright i fuckin ordered star eagle.wish she had some star graphics on her just sayin. if i had a stencil.
>>11740117I'm the one that said the first staeement. I'm pretty sure I know what I was saying you dumb shit. >>11739730
>>11740117>So you wanted a compromised and small as fuck combiner?Yes, Everyone was expecting ONE figure. NO WHERE did Hasbro indicate it was going to be SIX figures with ONE released now and the other FIVE released sometime down the line.People sure as shit weren't expecting an ass figure that turns into nothing and is only useful with a bunch of addonsWhy are you being so fucking stupid about this. Oh wait, you're a Hasborshill that's why.
>>11740405Wait for Toyhax. I'm sure they'll do something for her.
Alright, here's G2 Swoop with both Grimlocks, plus their swords. Again, Bluelock is using the sword that came with G2 Swoop, while Toxitron Grimlock has the old sword from normal SS86 Swoop. My camera's still on the fritz, so the colors may not be as easy to tell apart here.
>>11740464And here's the swords on their own. The two darker ones on the left are from G2 Swoop, while the brighter one on the right is from G1 Swoop.
>>11740399A guy I know who has good enough knowledge in naming schemes gave a very good name for him, Nowhere Fast, still need to figure out what his alt mode would be, but I looked up Navajo car and this showed up, so a Cybertronian fix of this would be the one I feel, just question of making him have a feather on his head or not
>>11740426oooh i hadnt thought of that!
>>11740143SS86 Bee wasn't worth it to start with and has hit as low as $5 at Walmarts because he's hot dogshit nobody wants lol
god damn walmart is incompetent. i buy a lil candy to get star eagle up to free shipping, and they want to do it as a home delivery.. for such a small order.. and the candy's out of stock
Got Wingfinger today. I feel like I've slept a bit on the Weaponizer type characters, messing with this guy's been pretty fun. I've settled on attaching him to Armada Galvatron because I dig how they look together in this configuration and to play more into the BWII homage this deco's got going on....I still wish we'd get some Minicons danggit.
>>11740526It never occurred to me that weaponizer parts can also attach to alt-modes. Love that bone tank.
>people saying their Nexus Primes are shippingFrom where?
>>11740538Why would anyone buy Nexus Prime?
At very least I know every toy this year is going to be better than this lump of shit. Holy fuck I did not think Hasbro could make a Transformer this fucking bad.
>>11740541To have all 13.
>>11740546I'm only ever SLIGHTLY drawn to him because of his ripoff Shockwave head. Other than that, he's another one I'd never buy unless I found him on deep clearance.Although those round bits having the spikes sticking out like eyelashes gives me a chuckle and I can't unsee it.
>>11740546fucker's almost as shinless as cotton hill
>>11740421You're the one rewriting history here. Plenty of people were waiting for a proper combiner for the combiner guy before it was revealed to be a Voyager. At that point we had no fucking clue what Hasbro was thinking other than "maybe it turns into a torso". And that's what it is.>Why are you being so fucking stupid about this. Oh wait, you're a Hasborshill that's why.The real question is why are you so mad that the big combining guy is a big combining guy instead of a shitty core class combiner or something even worse. Had it been that, YOU would have been a Hasbro shill for defending such a shitty compromise as a good idea.Just admit you're bothered by the price of the whole thing and call it a day instead of coming up with excuses, that would be more understandable than your nonsense. You're free not to buy the thing or getting only the Voyager torso to fill the spot on your 13 shelf.
Are they giving Nexus his own frame or do we have to use Silverbolt's? Have they said?
>>11740547Just pick any other Prime figure instead. Nova Prime or Sentinel Prime or any random figure you decide is a Prime is a better pick.
>>11740526Wingfinger is fun, but I have no idea why they never made a Predacon version of that mold - every other bone dude has at least one repaint/retool that's a member of the opposite faction (or, in the case of Paleorex, multiple retools/repaints for both sides). Considering they're also supposed to be able to combine with each other, it makes things awkward that you can make an entirely Maximal combiner out of one group, but need to reuse the Maximal Wingfinger to make a Predacon combiner because he never got a bad guy variant.
>>11740549I don't even hate the partsforming way some toys are, but this guy turns into nothing, nothing, and more nothing, and falls to pieces if you so much as raise an eyebrow in his direction.
>>11740568Sounds like a you problem.
>>11740546he needed individually ball jointed shoulders on all four arms, and proper shins. then he'd be awesome..
>>11740546I've this guy is one of the biggest QC lotteries they've put out in a while
>>11740552Dinoking/Volcanicus is probably the most competently made combiner they've made in years on the account of it not being frameslop
>>11740546Honestly blast off is the most boring tf i've bought in a long time
My brain hit me with a cursed imageSo it's Vehicle StarscreamButHe's a SS86 Hot Rod remakeWith the Exhaust Pipes remolded so they're at the front Tire/Shoulder to be his Null RaysAnd the Fin making up the Wing Silhouette
>>11740546There are far worse releases last year
>>11740623>needs extra partsStill frameslop
>>11740618dont tell me some holes dont accept some pegs
>>11740552why am I like everyone else?because nobody likes this figure. As I said, He turns into nothing, and only after the fact did they reveal that "Oh you need to buy a bunch of other figures" to make him worth anything. OH and you have to wait for to get around to making them. It wasn't like the whole gang was rolled out at once, which would've, at least, been a little less obnoxious.People were expecting a combiner figure as one guy or set. AGAIN, nobody was expecting a guy you have to wait a whole another year to complete. Hasbro DID NOT state beforehand this was coming and you know this.AGAIN, Nexus is a guy who splits into smaller guys, not just a Torso. That was Heatwave. He is the complete gestalt, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE GOT and you know this.But keep defending the slop Hasbroshill
>>11740547Nope, gotta wait another year for Hasbro to get around to finishing the fucker with 5 extra figures
>>11740635"You will never be a real CombinerYou have no built in handsNo real PortsNo proper feetYou are a twisted machination of Engineering"
Repaint aside, this fanmode might yet save this faggot from being completely unsalvageable.I actually like how this looks. Just need to see it in the original colors.
>>11740653Works surprisingly well.
>>11740624I mean, he's a limb. That's his role in life - to be the right hand (literally) of Bruticus. His transformation scheme and how well he works as an individual bot aren't nearly as important as his ability to be an army, because most people are just going to display him merged with the others anyway.
>>11740662>his ability to be an army*his ability to be an arm.
>>11740662Bruticus has six fingers on his right hand, huh?
>>11740662>That's his role in life - to be the right hand (literally) of BruticusExcept he doesn’t even do that because frameslop
>>11740721You're frameslop
>>11740526Weaponizers are great, wish they'd reissue some of the ones I missed
>>11740662He really became one of my favs thoYea the hands kinda suck but he's one of the better Blast Off's we've gottenUnlike CW that was a fucking Plane and they got mocked so much Hasbro said "Okay fine we'll bring the JP Mold over. But you gotta pay more"
>>11740777So Hasbro messed up the face painting on Blastoff.
>>11740662I'm almost considering picking up a second one to keep as a desk toy after Onsalught comes.
>>11740777There is a good upgrade kit though it's only a 3d print at the moment
>>11740764I've got a few of them in baggies somewhere in storage. Maybe I should pull them out one of these days.
>>11740764they're making two new weaponizers with the slammer and sixgun molds.. with clear plastic. And they're Walmart exclusives.according to leaks anyway
is star eagle just on walmart and hasbro? I as hoping to get her on amazon
>>11740810apparently so. They're suggesting that's why she's mostly blue and white (and for that matter, instead of just flag-blue, one of the colors is walmart-blue. and they put that on top, when it should be on the bottom)which kinda makes me wanna see more target-exclusives if it gives us red beast repaints.
>>11740812well I got 2 just in case on wallyworld. One to play with and one to just keep in case the mass produced plastic is sought after one day
>>11740781Yea i'll prob get the Toyhax set>>11740793Haven't seen stuff for him yet reallyWhat's it change?
>>11740813i have such mixed feelings about that kind of thingon one hand, it's a sensible kind of investment. You know scarcity will go up later... as long as it's limitedon the other hand, it's kinda douchey. you're depriving someone else of one and you don't even want it. You're trying to profit where you didn't actually do any work. Reap what you didn't sowon the other hand, as long as you aren't buying up fucking DOZENS and CREATING scarcity, you're not exactly doing anything wrong. and maybe I'd have a lot more money if I'd been doing that all along.. but... I'm just not comfortable with that.When I'm rich as fuck, I'll buy two of things and donate one probably.
>>11740818well their website says that 100's were bought yesterday so I don't think it's going to be hard to get.
>>11740817
>>11740820>New actually better ForearmsHoly fuck that's better
>>11740826I'd wait for a moulded one though
>>11740819but then, if that's so, then it's a poor investmentsee this is the issue. it's like the stock market. it's a fucking pyramid scheme. you benefit most if other people are late to the party and you took their spot. Then, when it goes up in value, you sell your spot and someone else buys it for its now lower price.. so to speak..
>>11740820too bad the nosecone parts can't fill the space left from the hand
>>11740838I mean it's just a cheap 3D print
>>11740777I really like how the thrusters that form the front feet in robot mode can be flipped down in vehicle mode and you can pretend Blast Off is in VTOL mode even though it makes no sense for a Shuttle to have such capabilities. Reminds me of the WfC/FoC game with the 'third' weaponized mode every bot had.
>>11740781Yes and no. The cartoon messed up, colouring the forehead like it was a monoeye, Hasbro just copied the cartoon as they are wont to do.If you’re lucky, the head isn’t glued together well and can be separated and repainted quite easily. Unfortunately mine was a cunt to get apart but well worth the effort.>>11740777Same. I still like Brawl a bit more but I haven't been able to put Blast Off down since I got him a week ago.
>>11740871His transformation is quick enough that I find myself constantly switching him between modes. And I love that shuttle mode. Embarrassingly though, it took me a few days to realise he had front landing gear. It's really well hidden and mine was initially tight enough that flipping in the head didn't push the landing gear out.
>>11740401Uhh, Yellow Grimlock>>11740464>>11740467Ohhh, then many thanks (I didn't knew that both Swoops got a different shade of red for the swords they came with)>>11740623True
>>11740662>I mean, he's a limb. That's his role in life - to be the right hand (literally) of Bruticus. His transformation scheme and how well he works as an individual bot aren't nearly as important as his ability to be an army, because most people are just going to display him merged with the others anywayWrongCW Blastoff was a blast. because they knew Plane is more fun than a...uh...space shuttle Turning blastoff from a vintage war plane to shuttle was one of the worst hasbro's mistakes.Bruticus could be so much better if he had a plane for a hand.
>>11740885>Turning blastoff from a vintage war plane to shuttle was one of the worst hasbro's mistakes.>Bruticus could be so much better if he had a plane for a hand.That's an interesting thought. Back in the day should Hasbro/Takara have swapped Blast Off with one of the Aerialbots? It would have been thematically relevant for the Combaticons to have a jet fighter and added a bit of variety to the Aerialbots to have a space shuttle.Anyway, you're wrong about a plane being more fun than a space shuttle.
>>11740885>CW Blastoff was a blast. because they knew Plane is more fun than a...uh...space shuttleCW Blastoff was a Jet because it was cheaper to repaint one of the Aerialbots while doing some minimal new tooling then create a whole new space shuttle mold they didn't have a ready to go mainline repaint for. Fun had nothing to do with it, it was all a part of cost cutting measures for the main line

>>11740874I just got blast off and the cockpit/window does not want to sit flush in vehicle mode. It always wants to stick up a bit, I can kind of get it to work by flexing the arms up but then it makes a gap in the fuselage.
>>11740942Anon, you've been in a coma for a decade, Cominber Wars was a decade ago and its constant shitty combiners ended a long time ago.
>>11740911>while doing some minimal new toolingHe didn't even have that much, he's a 1:1 Slingshot repaint.
>>11740966Nah seems like they’re still making them but in a different flavor of shit now
>>11740966>Combiner Wars was a decade agoPut me back in the sleep pod, I'm not for this world
>>11740885>CW Blastoff was a blast. because they knew Plane is more fun than a...uh...space shuttleYeah, a plane sure was more fun after six seekers, five aerialbots and Blitzwing than a space shuttle after just Astrotrain. Do you live in bizarro world or something?
>>11740894>That's an interesting thought. Back in the day should Hasbro/Takara have swapped Blast Off with one of the Aerialbots?The thing is - - brawl- swindlelook like vintage classic war machines. Blast Off could be something like picrelated and his mold could be different than a generic "modern plane/aerial bot".i mean...it's BEGGING to be like that because it's even fits other bots colors like Brawl or Onslaughtidk why the hell thay added a shuttle.I assume they just thought that going all normal old vehicles would make the toy boring. So they added a trendy (by 80 standarts) Space TOY instead of an old ww2 plane.>>11740911>CW Blastoff was a Jet because it was cheaper to repaint one of the Aerialbots while doing some minimal new tooling and it was the best version of himbecause...who the fuck would be afraid of a space shuttle...What space shuttle is even doing on a guy named "Brutics" lol!
>>11741051>eah, a plane sure was more fun after six seekers, five aerialbots and Blitzwing than a space shuttle after just Astrotrain.i didn't have any of those.Aerialbots combiner was always the lame one like Computron or something.It's either Devastator or Bruticus. Then you have Predaking and Abominus.Any other combiner sucks.
>>11741060PS:Oh yeah i forgot Motormaster. but you get the idea.Bruticus should be the main focus.who the fuck wants a lame combiner made of 6 of the samey looking planes.
>>11740929Does Tarantulas really count? Have some Bludgeon though.
>>11740929That nemesis looks gorgeoustoo bad about the shitty QC and price
i saw this on Amazon. I never liked Arcee because as a character it doesn't fit into a retail transformer toy.but damn... This is the gayest arcee they made so far...
>>11741084That's Ariel, you dunderhead. Elita-1 from the flashback episode from before she got rebuilt by Alpha Trion.
>>11741073A bit, mostly a strech to make picture while waiting for Liege and Doubleface.>>11741082And my copy had nasty stressmarks on inner left shoulder. Had to warm it up quite a bit.
>>11740799>with clear plastic.fucks sake, Hasbro
>>11741102IF they are like Galvatron then we're safe. I might grab them if they look fun and if they fixed Megatron shitty qc.
>>11740885I love the posing here.
>>11741102god damn that is an expressive cat.
>>11741057The scramble city guys weren't originally teams, they were all individual guys that could hook up to Metroplex and randomly combine with the base bots. A space shuttle makes sense from that perspective.
>>11741111microchange and diaclone were so much better stories than transformers that it's not even funny
Why can’t Transformers have creative female designs like this?
>>11741093>That's Ariel, you dunderhead. Elita-1 from the flashback episode from before she got rebuilt by Alpha Trion.you just bullshitting me and im not gonna return to that Amazon page to check itit looks pink and lameIt's another stupid try to make Arcee because they need us not to forget this character
The "small parts, choking hazard" warnings are for retards like>>11741131this
>>11741123that is pretty creative! I bet she has trouble standing, and I'd like her knees to be higher, but... yeah not bad. Can she actually transform? I mean obviously THIS one doesn't, but
>>11741084That's not Arcee you fucking moron.
>>11741126oh wait, wow, really? it's a little silly lookin but..
>>11741123That's a problematic design. Women aren't allowed to have curves unless they are obese.
>>11741145this one's got severe enough steatopygia that I think she also qualifies as a minority
>>11741140it looks like a duck and makes duck noises
>>11741166I'm with this guyhe made a mistake but he's not a moron for making that mistake. Pink and white girl bot, your brain's gonna go there. we don't all have G1 memorized.
>>11741156Tangentially relevant but are Earth-machines-turned-Cybertronians treated like minorities/second-class citizens?
>>11741167>but he's not a moron for making that mistakeNo, he's not. He's a moron because once corrected he keeps coping and doubling down. And you are too from the sound of it.>we don't all have G1 memorizedAh yes such an obscure character, I really had to work hard to memorize Arcee of all people.
If you don't know all the transformers then don't even bother to speak in my presence, normie filth
>>11741173i didnt notice him doubling down and I don't speak 2020s so I don't know what you mean by 'cope'to cope with something is to deal with it. in my day, we encouraged people to deal with things. we even made up gifs with sunglasses expressing this concept.>the rest of what you saidokay now who's the moron? The point is that Arcee IS known, and the other girls are obscure. So knowing that this pink and white girlbot is actually Ariel who became Elita-1 is not something you can expect a casual to know. Try to follow along.>>11741169I feel like they'd be like test tube babies..
>>11741175>The point is that Arcee IS knownThen you should know what she looks like, and from there, know that the Ariel toy is not her. Thanks for making my point for me.>b-but she's pink and a girl so it must be her!Nice eye for detail retards.
>>11741126I get the appeal of a consistent aesthetic, but I really hope that someday we get another heavily stylized line like animated but with modern engineering
>>11741178That's not... remotely how that works.Anon do you maybe not have a fully developed theory-of-mind? you're supposed to have that by like 3 or 4..
>>11741167>he made a mistake but he's not a moron for making that mistake. Pink and white girl bot, your brain's gonna go there. we don't all have G1 memorized.Yeahi'm not going to memorize "oh it's Arcee but it's GAY now"it's turbo-faggot autism like that "HE MAN BUT BLUE" or other bullshit like thatonly an idiot actually pays attention to such things.It's an obvious corpo-slop.PS:I hate "seekers" too.It's just a fucking blue Starscream.
Now THIS is trolling
https://youtu.be/9pAKmayXbVk
>>11741167He's a moron for checking a product page and being unable to even read its name. I don't even know how that's possible.
>>11741215you are an idiot for being this type of petty faggot.I would love to spit on your face but all i can do is make fun of your stupid little gay arcee with manly chin and ugly design>hey it's NOT-arcee>bit it's ARCEE-colored Pink+White MOTORCYCLE>OMG NEW CHARACTERyou are such a moronconsumers like you make this community look like stupid autistic brainlets
>>11735454>scrolling through Amazon>see this>OH YEAH THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT ARCEE! what an idiotthis is not even the ugliest arcee (that would be bay-former from the latest Beast Wars) but not the first one that is an exact same motorcyclewhat a bunch of morons
This Arcee thing is funny because that faggot wasn't even posting it in good faith to begin with. He always knew it wasn't her and a few of us were bored enough to take the bait and slap him around a bit, but now at least one anon out there must be even more bored because he's earnestly defending the original faggot like he's a loved one.
>tfw not even Armada Optimus makes me happy anymore
tanks?
>chin that broke /tf/
>>11741215okay I didn't realize there was a product page here with a name listed.>>11741229yeah I'm beginning to realize I backed the wrong horse. This is why I can't keep judging people on their warped opinions of 'world events' because nobody fucking has any information and we're too tired to check.
>>11741239purr welcome
>>11741239Awesome tonk collection, anon!you need picrel color version of that mini-tank + CW-brawl
>>11741244thaaat is not a good look
>>11741239>Blitzwing is bigger than Brawl
>>11741249I know right. Arcee looks a bit off in that toy form.
>>11741244Made me want to buy it. It's a very particular and unique transformer>you have to buy not-Pipes with itdamn
>>11741226Did you also think that was Huffer standing beside her?
>>11741250Always was.
>>11741259>Did you also think that was Huffer standing beside her?Not him but i thought its Pipes but after googling him i see it is in fact Huffler. I just remember both of them sharing the same mold, and just remembered the "funniest" name of them both (Pipes)
>>11740871>>11740874If I can do a slow mo style movement with the figure and get it in Alt Mode before it "Stands up" or the movement is over it's peak to meLike RotB Optimus drifting a cornertransforming but slams his hands downgoes into frontflip/somersaultand when he lands, rolls and stands up it's doneIt's why I loved SS Rotf/DotM SideswipeI could hold him, make him do the low sweep kick move and slowmo like Break dance style spin into Alt Mode like the clip in RotFhttps://youtu.be/YTCEckwafU4?si=AU-XPihFgeZWYi80&t=98
>>11741261>Always was.>>11741250>Blitzwing is bigger than Brawl
>>11741245>okay I didn't realize there was a product page here with a name listed.how do you think Amazon works anon? do you think you're just looking at photos with no text?
>>11741281lmao
>>11741244you know what ruins it the most? the helmet looks like hair, but that makes the hairline way too lowthough now the lack of eyebrows looks weird..
>>11741297hmm this kinda helps with the eyebrows..
>>11741288I didn't know anon was looking at an amazon listingi just saw a pink and white robot, saw a guy getting slammed for thinking it was arcee, and flew to his defense before realizing he was trolling.shit, now I want some animal cookies. you know the ones, right?
>>11741297it reminded me of that guy from Zatoichi (on the right)He was a guy hiding as a woman.There was a moment when a woman asking him "but how can anybody notice that you are a guy". And he responds "it's all about the jawline" (not like that but something like that - i don't remember correctly).This whole figure reminds me of this guy - the japanese hair style and the jawline.I will buy it just because of this movie - i always liked this character.
>>11741301
>>11741301Ohhhh yeah, good eye.
>>11741299You also missed him saying he was looking at Amazon>>11741084
>>11740653It is doable. Still, I wonder if he can fit the Bruticus frame, because I heard he can't fit the Menasor frame. If he doesn't, then we will beg them to make the REAL Nexus Prime, not this sorry excuse for a premold.
>>117412391'st row, third from the right. Tan Camo, who is that? Looks really nice.
>>11741383some variant/mold use of CW brawl
>>11740653Welcome back CW Broadside.
>>11741383Dangar/Armorhide from Unite Warriors Baldigus/Ruination.
>>11741377As far as we know he ONLY fits in Superion's frame.
>>11741239it's sad how megatron is the worst looking one there
>>11741361I wasn't doing fuckin.. detectivework there "hey, because he saw it on amazon, he definitely saw the product name"especially because yknow, i also thought that was arcee. having seen it for the first time in his post.
>>11741392Which one?
>female transformers I just wish with the current takara and koto collaboration, maybe just maybe, takara can slip one of them perverts from koto during the drawing board stage. Also Instead of expensive combiners or Japanese exclusive characters for haslab, maybe they can also do cheaper but clearly designed from the ground up fembot design (instead of those gender neutral bodies for duel usage)?
I just want a good Moonracer
>>11735454man, I'm getting hungry for new reveals or leaks. We know much that's in the pipeline right now? I've heard rumors of Fangry, Tailgate, Demolishor, Animated Starscream, Armada Jet Fire, and that Unicron Soldier thing for mainline
>>11741239I'm still so annoyed that they used Skullgrin to make Quake instead of using Impactor, which transformed almost like the G1 toy.
>>11741435The leaker tranny on tfw2005 said there should be some reveals soon>Commander Armada Jetfire will be up for pre-order soon, along with:>Studio Series TF7 Scourge listing for this year>Studio Series VOY TF4 OPTIMUS EV>Studio Series DLX TF4 BUMBLEBEE>Studio Series TF: One Soundwave>BW Predacon MultipackAlso Adamas Machina Predaking is coming out this Saturday, Takara should be posting something in a few days.
>>11741457>Studio Series TF7 Scourge listing for this yearJust a reissue
>>11740472>>11740128I need to write this shit down, the burden of ideas
>>11741457Excellent, I don't want any of those.
>>11741422The legacy prime Arcee/Flamewar/Roadrocket/G2 Lasercycle/Ariel mold and the Legacy Windblade/Slipstream mold make me think the current design team just hates fembots.
>Gappier than the Leader>jaw is unarticulatedWhat's the point of this thing?
>>11741466>What's the point of this thing?Big
>>11741457i really hope that pred pack isn't something super exclusive and/or full of guys I have already.
>>11741466THOSE are your issues? granted, unarticulated jaw is pretty awful and I had no idea that was the case here, but.howbout how the feet barely transform, the legs are plantigrade, the thighs are sticks...
>>11741470The pred pack is just the Kingdom guys in toonier colors.
>>11741470Imagine if it's a bunch of the Kingdom molds again, but it also has Spittor in it.
>>11741476spittor would be nice>>11741475so you reckon it's essentially the premium finish guys
>>11741457>>Studio Series VOY TF4 OPTIMUS EVONLY thing I'm interested but I know it won't top the original
Well, Star Eagle is completely sold out on Pulse; we'll see how long WalMart's supply lasts before she's gone from there, too. Hope you guys got your birbs if you were interested in her.
>>11741509feelin a lot better about getting my pre-order in, but it sure as fuck wouldn't be the first time walmart just canceled that kinda thing.
>>11741457>New AOE BeeNew Stinger incoming, hopefully with a better shade of red and no Decepticon logo
>>11741509I was not expecting her to actually sell out, at all, especially given how much seething she caused
>>11741517Looks like they were a bunch of vocal minorities after all LMFAO.
>>11741457thanks anon, only really interested in jetfire and soundwave
OkThisBut able to transform into a proper truck- with and without part forming?
>>11741509USA!USA!USA!
>>11741526
Is it weird that I want to pair up all of my airazors and tigatrons, and then portion up my four tigerhawks as being the fusions of each of them? Ideally being a voluntary and reversible vok power in at least one of them.I think I have an equal number..
been wanting a plane bot lately but neither seekers nor the aerialbots do it for me. any good ones I can get at a reasonable price?
>>11741554Hooligan!
>>11741554Armada ThrustClassics JetfireBreakawa~~yRotF Mindwipe and Skystalker prob one of the best out thereThe HftD Terradive/Space CaseStudio Series First Movie/RotF StarscreamRotF Scout Ransack
>>11741389Guess we just wait. Otherwise, if he only fits the Superion frame, more torches and pitchforks will rise because he's nothing more but a pretool of his One version. We wait for the true Nexus Prime in the next Generations wave, then.
>>11741589if we're including movie scream, I gotta say either of the leader ones...
>>11741466>DINOSAUR TOY>can't do chomp-chomp with its jawsi won't buy it
>>11741422We need a roadrage that isnt based on a mold ready to self destruct. Kingdom road rage was a near perfect fembot apart from the ready to implode nature of it>not a lady but robot that curls up into a shell>not weirdly proportioned >no nightmare face like legacy evo strongarm
>>11741706rent free
>>11741569holding out vain hope we get him as a recolor of maverick>>11741729nta but that doesn't really work when you're talking about the megalomaniac running your country whose actions have a direct impact on your life
>>11741746>hope we get him as a recolor of maverickI really wish they'd use the collab molds more than once. Some of them would work great as other characters.
>>11741706TDS is for the weak willed and minded.
>>11741746holy fuck, is it rent free.
>>11741706Take it to /pol/, champ.
>>11741773refer back to >>11741746 until you understand how that phrase works
>>11741706>He is a pedo>or at least gay-cocksuckerSo are you anon, but you don't see me taking it out on poor Star Eagle now do you?
>>11741517It was mostly Canadians complaining.Tfw is a very multinational board.
>>11741807We all know how the phrase works.It means faggots who have to shoehorn their madness into any and all conversations.
>>11741832doesn't apply here, since >>11741671 was the one who brought him up. sorry bud, you'll have to find some other way to simp for your favorite convicted rapist
>>11741847>since >>11741671 (You) was the one who brought him up.Yeah that was me, and I brought him up to explain the seethe over a robot bird. Because that's literally the reason.So no, you dishonest little shit, I "brought him up" to shed light on a situation where people like you were already seething about a toy robot.
>>11741855Just report his offtopic shit and move on, no point in reasoning with broken people
>>11741847>>11741706dead cats
>>11741855but you didn't just bring him up to "shed light" on things, did you? you also gave your little defense of the diddler in chief and then got upset when you got called on it. I notice you're not saying anything about the convicted rapist part though, wonder why?
>>11741871>he's still goingYou're a fucking retard anon, I don't even like Trump.>you're not saying anything about the convicted rapist part though, wonder why?Because I literally do not care, that's why faggot. But histrionic retards like you have been taking out whatever he did or didn't do on an innocent bird-bot. The real mental illness on display both here and on tfw2005 that you are not addressing (but are clearly guilty of) is this weird premise that a robot toy created to celebrate a country's birthday must somehow be an avatar of whoever is in charge of that country at the moment to begin with for some reason. Normal people don't think like this anon. I wouldn't think a TF designed to celebrate Canada's birthday must somehow be a Mark Carneybot for some reason.
>>11741877don't bother, anon. He's just fishing for (you)'s at this point
>>11741879Yeah you're probably right anon. I guess I just can't wrap my head around how some people really have nothing better to do.It's like the Arcee thing from earlier in the thread. It's probably even the same anon, kek.
*confused clone noises*
>>11741871>diddler in chiefNTA and not even a Burger, but why do you keep calling Trump a pedo when the girl he banged was a consenting 18-year-old adult? Wasn't Biden the one diddling his preteen granddaughter? Why didn't your media cover that at all when everyone else knew about it? You also called him a 'convicted rapist', but wasn't he found completely innocent on all charges by one of your juries? I just don't understand how you idiots think - it's like half of you Ameritards just invent your own historical narrative and completely ignore anything that doesn't agree with your own delusions. What a fucking shithole you live in.Back on topic, I'm hoping to get my hands on the bird at some point - it's a neat idea, I like the colors, and I know enough not to associate her automatically with whoever's running the country, so it's all good in my book.
>>11741906 >>11741877 >>11741884Because he’s buck broken, just off topic him since he’s not going away until then.
