/tfg/ - Transformers GeneralShocky Loves You Editionprevious >>11747738
>>11754795well it's cheaper than trying to buy an old one, and the trunk no longer has big stupid rubber ribbing in it. and I guess it comes with another weapon? I didn't quite grok what Anon said
>>11754831do you remember how much the reissue went for when it was first released?
Chances of a Earthrise Ironhide Prowl reissue?
>>1175483630%we are getting a three pack with Ironhide (likely the ss86 version) soon and prowl is getting a ss86 mtmte (target exclusive) release.if they reissue the earthrise pack to get some quick cash before they announce these releases officially then I honestly think that'll be better value but prowl could break in the long run with the clear plastic stuff the Datsun mold has
>>11754834I think like 40-50, but thems was 2011 dollars, so
IdkI am floating ideas hereDoes this work? Sunstreaker with breakdown gun and spoiler. The spoiler can at least be placed on the arm where as with breakdown mold there is no where to go.
MPG Hot Rod transformation video. As expected, it's SS86 Hot Rod with some tweaks from Kingdom Rodimus and a few extra steps.
>>11754942https://m.youtube.com/shorts/VIfa-6jGCsYAnd forgot the link, here you go.
I miss Core class. Newage figures are too fiddly and complicated to be fun pocket figures.
>transformers should have more paint! Paint means quality!>It's a painted sampleThat is a die cast part. Also, I don't think this guy get "sample" sample but factory production sample
>>11754966Try Dr Wu Targetmasters are cool
>>11754969There's nothing quality about that oversized Generations figure.
>>11754969He's provided with painted samples, the Delta Magnus he got was the same.
Basara Prime is extremely charming, very fun dude.
>local shop got some new stuff>only wave 1 of AOTP and some scraps from last year's SS>I own every single one I have even passing interest in alreadyOh well, there was an effort.
>>11754994What a shitty looking bot
>>11754994The lower knee joints are pretty floppy on mine, but other than that I'm liking it better than I expected. Going by the pics I wasn't sold on the design but it looks way cooler in person for whatever reason.
>>11754994Still crazy to me they went with Macross 7 of all things, it's like they were tragetting me.
>>11754966I miss all the smaller classes, especially scout class. I want to try out some Newage or Dr. Wu figures but I can't justify paying leader prices for something that small
>>11755131The lower knees on mine are a little looseygoosey too, must be by design. That and the knees being pretty stiff to tab in are the only issues I've really got with him construction-wise.
New road rage when
>>11755173I'd rather Loudpedal because man I love a black repaint
>*grumble grumble*>How come I'm the one that always gets stuck fixing whatever breaks down in this dump?>*grumble grumble*
>>11755173We just got her in Kingdom, so...probably not any time in the near future now.
wonder if we'll get a Man-o-War out of the new seaspray mold?
>>11755185>pipe down and get back to work Gears>I'm going fishing
>>11754827>it's better to think fast rather than LASTwhen are we getting an omnibot OverDrive?
>>11755194Who Is this a gobot repaint or something?
>>11755174I always wanted a second Battle Ravage. It was the only Alternators toy I ever owned and it broke on me. I grew up with BW so Russian panther head dude is the first thing I see when I think of ravage. I loved it since the Japanese toy is so rare and was my BW ravage.
>>11755161I bought newage grimlock and I love him so much but the price made me never buy anything else afterwards.
>>11755131These charactet styles are so different but they go together so well.
>>11755173>>11755174There’s a 3rd party MP scale of these coming out soon
>>11755145I would have appreciated some Macross Dynamite 7 / Kiss Players crossover, but
>>11755338i want more animal-vehicle transformersThis one is almost perfect aside from small head and the weird hip armor obscuring the knees. But for something like this, it's very impressive. One that worries less about having a fully detailed vehicle interior? That could be even better.
Was going through my old Siege stuff and ended up realizing I really like Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime better without the Cybertron wingpack/guns and head. Feels like a more fitting "upgrade" to Siege Optimus similar to how Siege Shockwave has his own upgrade parts. Head might be a bit small but overall I like the look of it this way especially if you give Siege Optimus's Axe to him. Siege was really fun.
>>11755308any of the Omnibot for that matter. We DID get the Powerdashers. what's the holdup?
>>11755194BuggymanReally, I don't get why we haven't gotten a Chug Cy-Kill and Leader-1 yet.
>>11755326yeah, based on an unused deco for G1 seaspray
>>11755194>>11755417we've already got seaspray and beachcomber, so with powerglide coming out in may there's a slim chance we get them in another go-bots 3 pack alongside bad boy
>>11755417id love to see more go-bots. actual go-bots like Crasher and not the minibot recolors which while cool aren't really their right color scheme. No idea why we can't get a black/grey Cosmos for Pathfinder (i know they're based on the old e-hobby release but I never got why those changed the colors in the first place) either way, more go-bots would be fun.
>>11755453Takara is afraid of doing actual Go-bot homages because Bandai owns those designs.
>>11755472>>11755453not that anon, but I'm thinking the same thing. If they can do Crasher, they can do others. They don't have to be perfect matches.
>>11755453I'm surprised no one else has done this, or maybe I just haven't seen it, but you can make legacy Treds (warpath) "more" gobot accurate by using his back as the front to streamline the chest. Transform him the way you normally would, but turn his hips around so they face his back, turn his head around also, the turret will stick out of the back, and rotate his arms at the elbows. Keep his butt flap down as well, to make it look like the body is extended as well. You do have to pop the hands off the mushrooms to swap them, but thats all.It's not super amazing, but at least it's something to switch up the warpath mold.
>>11755508That works quite well. If only there was a way to point the cannon up
>>11755496I think they can get away with Crasher because her tf version turns into a completely different car.Something like a black Cosmos would maybe be too close for comfort.
>>11755560I don't see how. The design is totally different. That would be like suing because Turbo is a red car and so is Sideswipe.
>>11754969Wait what do you mean we're getting a Rodimus
>>11755619we are getting an MPG *HOT ROD*. it's not rodimus. They call hot rod 'hot rodimus' (no prime) in japan.It's literally just a masterpiece scaled version of the ss86 mold but with a bit extra added to the backpack to cover the knee joints in vehicle mode. Like even down to the accessories (still better than the previous masterpiece hot rods)
>>11755622Previous Hot Rods were better than this.
>>11755622>SS86From the legs and spoiler it looked like the Kingdom mold, but from the front wheels I guess it's SS86I'm pretty happy as-is with my SS86 and Kingdom Rods though
>>11755369
best pre-WFC trilogy figures?
>>11755652I mean, I like a lot of what this does on paper, but in practice it's more 21st century western animation garbage. Those designs wouldn't be out of place in Ben 10 or uhhh.. let's stick with Ben 10.
>>11755659Are you implying Ben 10 designs are bad because if you are then fuck you
>>11755659Shut up
>>11755693okay I do like this car.>>11755687it's the best we can hope for in the 21st century, but
I think it's safe to say that Armada Optimus Prime is the most popular Super Mode Optimus in the franchise. But why is that? What did it do right that the others didn't? Even Powermaster/Ginrai, a G1 Optimus Super Mode, doesn't seem anywhere near as loved.
>>11755836Armada was really popular in general. Big ass fucking gimmick toy is my guess
>>11755836You sure? Pretty much any time I see a super mode homage, official or unofficial, powermaster/ginrai is the base
>>11754971It's par for the course with Takara. Don't pretend toonshittery was flawless. Even Missing Link (though good) has had paint issues.
>>11755631Not really.
>>11755658That's hard to answer. 2006-2012 was the peak of Transformers in general, in my opinion.
>>11755879Name three times.
>>11755836>Powermaster/Ginrai, a G1 Optimus Super Mode, doesn't seem anywhere near as loved.Because it's overshadowed by God Ginrai.
Speaking of super modesHere's DNA's kit they finally made for Hearts of Steel Prime>>11755658Energon Landmine
>>11755836transformation is shit, he's just a cube in the chest
>>11755836Media doesn't tend to treat Powermaster Prime or Super Ginrai as a super mode.In the west, the Marvel comic had Super Prime just as his regular look. Like Ultra Magnus, the inner cab bot didn't exist.In Japan, Ginrai's trailer was nominally a super mode but in practice it was just a stopgap until God Ginrai, his actual super mode.
>>11755917Well, people like Cybertron Prime and he's basically the same toy with new shoes and backpack
>>11755917Bait?
>>11755957Are you crazy? Cybertron Prime and Powermaster have nothing in common?
>>11755904>DNA's kiti thought it's hasbro vs 3rd party at first...at this point just buy a new toy.
>>11755417Could SS86 Wreck Gar be made into a decent Cy Kill? I think some 3rd parties have done something similar?
>>11755960Or someone who has no clue that the transformation design is from the 80s.
arGODa fans keep winning
>>11756030But does he include his own mini-con who FORMS HIS LANDING GEAR?
>>11755904Not interested in getting it, but hey, at least the shield looks less pathetic now.
>>11756030>comes with the Requiem Blaster teamI guess they're future-proofing for Astrotrain and Spacewarp.
>>11756030Can’t wait to see how they turn out.Also, where can I find an Armada Nemesis Prime that doesn’t cost $90?
Alright, I'm going to shave the insides of 86 Laserbeak and Buzzsaw's feet so they actually fit on Soundwave's arm. What's the proper way to go about this?
>>11756067I’m assuming Spacewarp is more likely since Astrotrain came with a different set of Mini-Cons>>11756070>Also, where can I find an Armada Nemesis Prime that doesn’t cost $90?Just do what I’m doing and wait for it to go to outlet on Hasbro Pusle. The same thing happened to the Powerlinx Hot Shot exclusive
>>11756084Aren't Spacewarp and Astrotrain identical aside from the head, anyway?
>>11756089The colors were different shades.
>>11756030>inb4 Astroscope is a quality control nightmare like Jetstorm
>>11756030>three MiniConsSomehow I saw this coming.
>>11756030He always had to come with something extra seeing as he is the equivalent of prime's trailer but this is more than I expected, I was hoping for Comettor and some blast effects, Sparkplug if we were lucky. I still hope we are getting Comettor though.
>>11756030If Jetfire sucks, I'm going to throw the biggest tard tantrum.
>>11756103I hope they're at least compatible in alt mode like the old ones were.
Any other jet or shuttle transformer I can use to deploy from Magnus was tempted to get blastoff.
>>11756103>like JetstormWho
>>11756176uhh... galaxy shuttle?
>>11756185Would prefer something g1.
>>11756187Micromaster space shuttle guys
>>11756176They have to be teasing Missing Link Aerialbots, aren’t they? How will the modernized articulation work for Superion?
Wild just what Hands can do for a Figure
>>11755984>at this point just buy a new toy.seriously. but then it wouldn't be allowed.. at this point, I'm convinced they're in cahootz. I'm so sick of seeing binnismen just openly embrace what they always used to be accused of doing in secret.
>>11756030>Requiem BlasterSo how badly are they going to fuck it up? That Star Saber that came with Armada Nemesis was horrible and Jetstorm had a nasty habit of snapping whenever you tried to transform him.
>>11756305that looks like a fuckin hairdryergrips are important, it can't just look like it's floating over the hand.
>>11756305>Jetstorm had a nasty habit of snapping whenever you tried to transform him.Holy fucking hamhands! Mine is fine.
>>11755991I would think so. They have a very similar transformation.
>>11755963I think he means it’s barely a change from his regular mode. Just shows a d a jetpack, and some changes in the head
>>11756326Your personal experiences are not automatically universal, nor are you automatically better than other people.Jetstorm's breakage issues are well-known and documented.
Jtprime has been teasing a bunch of upcoming figures. As far as I can tell these are all the ones he’s said:>Rook>Viper>Barricade>Nightbird>Skyfire>Alpha Bravo>Wildrider>Breakaway>Goldfire>Lugnut>Scoop>Guzzle>Snarl>Nautica>SlashI’m sure there are more that I’ve missed
>>11756229Yeah, they sure come in handy.
>>11756398Breakaway is conspicuous. Nexus Prime limb, Getaway with a different name again, or CW Blast Off airplane mode so that all four CW strange limbs are reproduced?
>>11756411Disregard the third. I realized it didn't have Offroad in the list.
>>11756411>Breakaway is conspicuousAlso considering they just released a Breakaway, the soccer guy
>>11756417i want one that turns into a Big Pig
>>11756398>RookI've really been hoping for a G2 Rook but i'm going to assume it's CW Rook since Alpha Bravo is also mentioned here.
>>11756398>machines>screamIf it’s who I think it is there is absolutely NO WAY they’re starting off Beast Machines with him of all characters, you’d think they’d start off with a Vehicon of all characters
>>11756411My assumption is that it’s either Getaway or a Nexus limb, though there’s a much funnier option as well>>11756421It’s probably Universe Rook because we just got Windcharger and we don’t have any of the Protectobots yet
>>11756424perhaps their thought is "character we don't already have in some other form on the shelf"so yeah vehicons or nightscream/botanica
>>11756424Machine Wars Starscream is more likely than that.
>>11756462There is a Skyquake.
>>11756030I'd be dead if Powerlinx Red Alert comes with the Skyboom Shield.Also...>>11756398Is Jtprime kinda on a high right now? While his info is credible enough, he's probably out of control at this point. Welp, this should be the 2027 line, I presume, which will bear a new name.
>>11755369As someone who hated the Alternators, this was the only one I ever bought. Shocked they never repurposed or repainted him as Zod, the creepy robot eating monster from Gobots....
>>11756471I only realized one stupid thing: Skyfall and Landquake might be swapped names because of trademark. With another trademark covering their names, they might need entirely new names instead of swapping half and half again (meaning Skyquake and Landfall might not be feasible either).
>>11756187Galaxy shuttle
>>11756480Well the only thing to know at this rate is to wait and hope that Nautica isn't just Windblade with turbines replacing her wings.
>>11756477No one gives a flying fuck about Gobots like that lmao. You’re surprised they didn’t use the closest thing to a G1 update line at the time to make an obscure gobots homage, really?It’s more likely we’d get a skylynx out of it than a tonka original gobot
>>11756477IIRC the issue with those is they're licensed, so they would have to pay again to rerelease the molds
>>11756480what trademark?
>>11756398>Sky guardSky Garry?
>>1175637612+ years
>>11756514...That's not Jetstorm. That's Jetfire. No one is talking about Jetfire.Jetstorm is the middle Mini-Con that makes up the Star Saber. You know, the toy in the image of the post you replied to?You fucking idiot.
>>11756524His old Armada Figure is fine. I had mine for the longest damn time without even stressingI never saw this "Totally well known QC" shitSo still wrongThe new remake is dogshit and falls apart and stresses so easily
>>11756530Anon, we're talking about the new one. No one was talking about the old one.Do you have an actual reading disability?
>>11756514Anon...you're a moron. Reread what you originally responded to. The Jetstorm being referred to in the post is the Minicon that makes up part of the Star Saber; the specific version of him that was included with the new Armada Nemesis Prime is known to break due to the way he was assembled.
>>11756530>Talks about JetSTORM the micromaster>keeps bring up JetFIRE the big botHoly kek no wonder UTfags like you are so universally hated. You can't even fucking read. Turns out playing with toddler tier toys still makes you a toddler
>>11756530First of all, >I never saw this "Totally well known QC" shit>The new remake is dogshit and falls apart and stresses so easilyAre the same thing. Not "still wrong". Learn to read. Second of all, uh, yes, the original Armada toys also have well known issues. The entire Air Defense Team uses weaker clear plastic for joints and connection points. This was causing problems even close after release, to the point that the Air Assault Team redeco was done in stronger opaque plastic instead.
>>11756530>The new remake is dogshit and falls apart and stresses so easilyThat's literally what people were talking about this entire time, you fucking idiot.
>>11756514I'm glad to find out this guy doesn't have breakage issues because this is my first time seeing this chunky bastard and I need him
>>11756539>>11756540>>11756541>Still reading comprehensionAstounding. Even said "New remake is dogshit and falls apart"I'm literally talking about the Jetstorm from the shit Nemesis release. I KNOW I said Jetfire at firstWhich is why in my followup I acknowledged the remake and it's ass qualityThe ORIGINAL Jetstorm Minicon didn't have that huge of reported QC that you claim is what I was sayingI should have flat out said "Yes the Jetstorm" since you sperg clearly are that retarded to read and comprehend shit properly so you flew off instantly Christ>>11756543I do not remember that at all and my original Armada Mini-cons are still fineDark Saber and even Energon version were great and didn't have issues last I rememberI had a friend with original Star Saber and his Jetstorm stressed then cracked but he was also retarded and rough with his
>>11756546Aside from that anon's other dumbassery, they also didn't transform Jetfire correctly. The legs are longer than that.The toy has a cargo bay in shuttle mode and can form alternate legs for Armada Optimus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIS0aE0iOaU
>>11756550How are you still getting confused after multiple anons explained it to you?
>>11756555>>11756545>>11756541>>11756540>>11756539>Incredible reading comprehension and mental disabilityHow could he be talking about Jetfire when a remake doesn't even exist yet??Jesus christ and you guys called him a retard?
>>11756550Buddy, YOU'RE the one that first brought up the old Armada toy. No one else did. YOU did. No one else was talking about the old one breaking. YOU thought people were talking about the old one breaking. They weren't. YOU were the mistaken one.
>>11756552I almost like him better mistransformed but either way he's a stocky lad
>>11756559Yes then I clarified and you STILL went to being retardedHopeless>>11756560It was mistransformed on purpose for the memeIt's the "mom said it's my turn"I was reclaiming my UT era stuff back then and still missing some.
>>11756558I'll explain how this conversation went down, since you're confused:>Anons: The new Jetstorm sucks (11756305)Dumbass: only hamhands break it (11756326)>Anons: No, the new Jetstorm is actually flawed (11756376)>Dumbass: Look at my Jetfire, I've never broken it (11756514)>Anons: That's Jetfire, not the new Jetstorm (11756524)>Dumbass: Why are you saying the old Jetstorm sucks? It's the new Jetstorm that sucks (11756530)>Anons: No one mentioned the old Jetstorm. We've all been talking about the new Jetstorm this whole time. Holy crap you suck at reading. (11756539, 11756540, 11756543, 11756545)(had to unlink replies because the system thought it was spam)
>>11756563Anon I'm sorry but you GENUINELY seem to have a reading/writing disability.
Go troll elsewhere you groidsThis is about fucking robots that turn into vehicles and shit
>>11756555That's because he's a UTfag what did you expect?
>>11756398>>11756421Really hoping for G2 Rook as well. Just need him, a comic accurate G2 Mindset and a G2 Aerial Trooper from the Cyclonus mold to go with Jhiaxus, my small army of G2 troopers and the upcoming Liege Maximo.
>>11756543Man, took my original Armada Star Saber out of storage recently and Jetstorm's elbow had cracks in it. Fortunately I got the Kabaya version a few years ago that I use for play and display, which is made out of opaque plastic. Thank god for Mandarake.
>>11756564god people are retarded. as is the system (why would multi quoting be spam? maybe target the actual spammers rampant on every board)
>>11755622A well-executed ML Hot Rod would probably be the best Hot Rod figure of them all, honestly.
>>11756571>Make one of the best CW Molds>Have like 2 releases tops>Never againRook was too based to get more I guess
>>11756577- Rook- FunPub Tarantulas- FunPub Impactor- Japanese RollerThen remolded into a "jeep" to be various Swindles/Hounds/GreejeeberThen remolded again to be the Japanese version of Nosecone.
>>11756582My brain JUST clicked and mentally pictured how Rook transformed and I was like "wait yea Swindle is Rook just without the backpack"Man
>>11756550>The ORIGINAL Jetstorm Minicon didn't have that huge of reported QC that you claim is what I was sayingOk, but WHY are you saying that? Nobody was talking about the original - someone said they're making a new Requiem Blaster, with the follow-up comment being "Will they fuck it up as bad as they did with the new Star Saber, specifically the issue with the new Jetstorm?". The comment had nothing to do with Jetfire or the old Jetstorm. I have no idea how you're possibly getting confused by this.
>>11756575You think?I would put money on soundwave or the dinobots
>>11756590>Reading comprehension continues
>>11756617You really need to check your own reading comprehension, kiddo - then again, from the way you type, it's pretty obvious English isn't your primary language, so maybe your inability to understand what you've been saying wrong this whole time is getting lost in translation.Again>The ORIGINAL Jetstorm Minicon didn't have that huge of reported QC that you claimNo one claimed that. YOU did. The only thing anyone here was talking about was the new one. You went off on two different tangents talking about things nobody even brought up. This server is run by America, even if it's flooded with Indians these days; please learn the language.
>>11756625This reminds me of the "Spain is communist" meme
>>11756642I don't even have to see it to know what that probably is.It's so wearying. Everything is sitting under six layers of irony and false flags now.
>>11756376I'd even call that Omega Prime levels of unfixable. At least Brawl never reached Omega Prime level. Find the Kabaya Air Defense Mini-Cons, and talk to me again.On a different note, how come nobody told me there was already a good Octane in existence, and that's the freaking Henkei Henkei one!?
>>11756398>>NightbirdAre we finally getting TFCC nightbird?
>>11756574>why would multi quoting be spam?10 is the limit btw
>we got himThank God I didn't get a lemonMy anime missing link prime got a huge cut on his face mask.AnywayYeah, it is good. Yes it is expensive.I really don't know what to say but I do have to point out that well both deer stalker and UM now got bunch of legs movement, but they do still have some difficulty using themDear stalker literally cannot stand properly because the way the heels are cut. The only way making it stand is having the whole body lean backward.UM is that better on this but unfortunately the feet did not come with four and backward movement so you are somewhat limited in the post he can do standing up. You can get a stand but the thing is so heavy I don't know what stand can even handle this thing.
This is the back If you took out the main robot you can get more possibility out of the armor suit but I don't think I will recommend it.If the legs push any more forward you are running the risk of having the white skirts hitting and damaging the diecast red paint. Having the main bot in act as a limiter. Also the main bot doesn't really secure into the suit at all. In the original toy the fist pegholes act as pegs. Now the only thing that secure it are the "arms" and the weight pushing it down on the resting location. And as you can see top ones barely clamp the leg. Last thing, I don't know about those wheels. The rubber wheels on missijg link prime "melt" plastic. I don't know if you want to have UM in suit mode without some protection against the wheel rot- they do touch the trailer
>>11756666>how come nobody told me there was already a good Octane in existence, and that's the freaking Henkei Henkei one!?It isn't that great of a toy, super Satan. I own one since release and like it, but that bot mode is awkward.
>>11756642As an Spaniard I had to check that and found it in song version. I'm no communist but that was excellent.
