>>11762034you're a cool guy, OP. nice job.
>>11762025>Voy Skyfire is RIDMaverick retool?
>>11762034>keep on gliding
>>11762038>Draw a Skywarp>Call it Skyfire
>>11762025I...guess I can live with Slash using the Dinobot mold - it's a decent enough one, and she'd certainly fit the role as BW Grimlock's little sister. My question, however, is what color she'll be - I doubt they'd go with the G1 Dinobots colors of grey/red/black/gold. Maybe she'll be the same teal as her AOE toy? Or they can go with the baby blue and silver version from her TLK rerelease, I guess?
>>11762034Did they mention Tailgate yet? He's the only minibot missing at this point.
>>11762044my thinking was she'd be sort of another crack at BW Grimlock, inasmuch as he was KIND OF G1 colors.This one would be more gunmetal, black, and red emphasis. But maybe not. I wouldn't mind a red raptor, that's for sure. Wouldn't mind teal either. Just as long as they keep the color separation intact. i hate when a recolor (or an old beast mold in general) is like 'eh it's okay if the thighs don't match the rest of the animal, so the robot can have its own thigh colors'they fuckin did that with Dilophocon and it took me a LOT of work to paint it back to normalAlso wouldn't mind if they added some feather parts just to make it more interesting, even though they'd have to partsform. And also it'd be kinda funny for the FEMALE to have that but whatever.
I suppose one could argue that POTP Slash scales better with the SS Dinobots than the POTP Dinobots since raptors are human sized
>>11762034
>>11762047raptors come in basically every size, from chicken to uhh 'nile crocodile on stilts'
>>11762057so either set of Dinobots
>>11762060exactly.
I just hope they do more to make her look female than just a headswap.but they won't.
>>11762066pretty hard to imagine. in fairness, her original toy isn't very feminine looking either. big shoulders, narrow hips.personally I'd be happier if something happened like... the rapier is replaced with a falchion...
>>11762068You know, if we get a Voyager Slash, I would be glad to still see a Leader Skarr. Would be clever in how to make a larger ankylosaurus Transformer work. A seven-man team of Dinobots is a much better sight than the classic five or six, after all.Also, someone have been thinking that Collapse... might be a trademark-free Landquake, but how can Landquake be trademarked by a different company?
>Skyfire is RIDDamn I got excited for beast machines for a second there before I remembered skyfire isn't Stormjet. Well at lest that terrible tow-line can finally get his rival. OH WAIT, they can retool him into the cyberjets and we can finally get a new motherfucking HOOLIGAN!
>>11761972I think it'd be like this:>Scrapper - Scoop>Mixmaster - Quickmix>Scavenger - Grimlock>Bonecrusher - Wedge>Hook and Long Haul 2pk - Hightower and Landfill/Heavy Load (probably depends on if the combined mode is named Landfill)
>>11762080There's a ton of potential with a flip-changer-ish jet. You could also get the Machine Wars planes and maybe even some of the Predators with some heavier retooling.
>>11762046I love the way you painted that - with the proper color separation, it's much more apparent that all the red bits that get exposed in robot mode are supposed to be muscle. Really brings back those old Beast Wars vibes.
megatronus reissue when
>studio series fortmax>it's just armada megatron in idw fortmax colorslul
>>11762097Which one?
>>11762082Meh, RID Landfill's charm to me is the scrable city style gimmick and the derpy combined mode. Making one out of a straight up repaint of Devastator doesn't really work for me.
>>11762097>>11762100I read it wrong.Disregard.
>G2 MegatronFucking finally. Along with RID Skyfire, here's hoping that Hasbro will finally give the G2 era more love. Bring on new Cyberjets, Laser Rods and Rotor Force, please.
>>11762105>G2 MegatronWhich one? The green one or the purple one?
>>11762105>tfw it's a repack of the Earthrise oneHopefully it's not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
>>11762113Chances of it being the 86 mold?
>they're doing Scoop againI don't want my boy to suffer another clearance discount
>>11762105I have Road Rocket, Leadfoot, and few others but yeah I want more G2 dudes. Road Rocket you can use the bars to emulate the laser rod gimmick but there's no gyro element with Leadfoot sadly
>>11762117I mean Road Pig for the laser bars, not Road Rocket, whoops.
>>11762073I would also love to see organic Scorn. or G1 Scorn for that matter.>>11762092thank you. yeah, one thing we can say about Dilophocon is the designer GOT the old beast wars aesthetic. she's (I mean I'm calling this OC a guy, but whatever) very Guyver. And her transformation is basically that of Iguanus, other than the legs, so she FEELS classic.I only wish I was good enough at stenciling to add more of the 'cilantro' in the darker green, but meh.
>>11762109It hasn’t been revealed, though I suspect the green one since that’s the more “iconic” one, though ironically it wasn’t released in Japan (Megastorm doesn’t count) but the purple one was
>>11762117I'm still annoyed we haven't gotten new Cyberjets when the Maverick mold is RIGHT THERE. It's transformation is almost identical to the old Cyberjets too.
>>11762109Green one is the more iconic and well known one. They'll probably do the purple one as an exclusive.
>>11762043If it makes you feel any better they probably didn’t name him Skywarp because they already used that name with the mold during Machine Wars
Retarded dinobots>Super badass rouge dinobots
>>11762133>Super badass rouge dinobotsI dunno - they'd look considerably less badass wearing rouge makeup. Unless you mean "rogue", which is indeed more badass.
>>11762047>POTP SlashIt's a perfect figure anf fits perfectly with SS86 dinobots - same color choices and etc.I dont know how cna they outdo it>>11762057>raptors come in basically every size, from chicken to uhh 'nile crocodile on stilts'And this - when we will have another slash it will be "just another raptor".I hope so.
>Scoop is a scrapper repaintholy fuck YESA new fancy boot for my SS86 Devastator!!!
>>11762037I wonder if we'll get another Maximal after Ratrap's MP, or maybe another Predacon since we're sorely lacking. Tarantulas would be a good way to go since they have the basic tooling from Blackarachnia.
>>11762145Call me when we get a LandfillNo not the RiD combiner, the OLD oneYes, the dump truck
>>11762148tarantulas is an easy MP because he has almost no cheating. If they let go of the 'the crotch eyes are slightly different from the beast mode eyes!' thing, they could make it even easier. BA's tooling will be completely unnecessary, he'll just transform like the recent toy give or take.Personally I want to see a version of these two where the robot mode pincer hands become the pedipalps and chelicerae, by hinging the thumb off to the side. That's clearly what the original toy was going for.
>>11762154>No not the RiD combinerYes, the Car Robots combinerThe people demand Build KingGive us the all-yellow deco too
>>11762158>>11762145thinking of it...i woud love to get SS86 devastator but yellow.+ decos like "black and yellow stripes" and stuff. (they wont do that so you have to buy them from that sticker company tho)
>>11762144>when we will have another slash it will be "just another raptor".I want to armybuild a bunch of different Slashes so I can have a whole pack, like what was originally planned for AOE; maybe I could name them after the Raptoricons, since we're never getting official toys of them ever.
>>11762158The other guy
>>11762159If they do it in orange I will be one of a half dozen customers who buys itl
>Tra Gen Voy Animated Slipstream>Product Number: G3643Are we going to get another clearly male SS seeker mold or an actual proper "female" seeker body?I can't believe even now there is no figure that do her justice
>>11762099My hope is we get a Diet Perfect Effect Fort MaxWhere he's somewhat like him and can still do Head Mode and be a Head for TR Fort MaxSince Fort Max got a reissue too
>>11762116while it's true demand wasn't there they were stupid and put him in 3 waves. He started in wave 8 DLX to then be packaged again in 9 and 11 for then there to be "retail waves" that had him, Waspinator, Arcee, Chromia, Jhiaxus, and Mini-ConTeam. This happens from time to time but usually it's a Cosmos or T30 Waspinatior situation where they don't predict demand right and over glut the market to meet demand. Scoop was never hard to get.
>>11762116>>11762145BasedI loved the Generations one
>>11762182It'll be Animated Starscream's body with her head on it.
>>11762116>I don't want my boy to suffer another clearance discountyou think that's awful?this guy is still the BEST figure of cyberworld - it can pass as Legends Class even.yet...it seems that nobody wants him
>>11762182>>11762189I hope she's more of a pretool for the inevitable TFA Starscream figure, like at least change the waist and thighs a little bit. I remember in one of the videos when they were first showing off SS86 Thundercracker one of the designers, I think it was Eric, mentioned that if they were gonna do a G1 slipstream they'd do more of a retool instead of just a straight repaint>>11762116>>11762145>>11762187I'm still so sad that the neck joint on mine disintegrated one day. stupid clear plastic...
>>11762148>since they have the basic tooling from Blackarachnia.Not a single piece of Blackarachnia and Tarantulas would be the same
I ordered the Dramatic Capture since I wanted Earthrise Thundercracker mold and the camera stuff looks like a fun extra. I already have 86 Thundercracker but I always wanted ER and the new deco looks nice. Might get Skywarp and the Insecticons too if I like it. The first Dramatic Capture I'm getting.
I want transformers...i'm addicted to transformers.I love how they look. how almost most of them have these giant fat robo-legs with lots of stuff inside that you unfold later to build a vehicle/dinosaur.It's so cool.damn...transformers are the best toys ever.
>>11762226then why do you post MTMTE scans instead of actual toys w/ feet
>>11762183I just want a Fort Max that actually transforms into THE Fort Max, the iconic pyramid-like structure we see in the old G1 toy.
>>11762226TRANSFORMERS
>>11762133That's because Furman's boner for Grimlock always overrode his brain.
>>11762238MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
>>11762133The patrician choice is badass rogue retards. There doesn't have to be a contradiction there.
>>11762246That would be them in the 2nd season. Where they saved the day and constantly bitched about having to save the other Autobots
LMAO i had no idea Kre-O transformers had these little cartoons hahahaha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz47tS3MIpw
>>11762215Nice, Dramatic Capture Decepticons are always beautiful in person. Reflector really pops and absolutely MOGS his Siege version (which I thought was a nice figure at the time).
>>11762236sorry, not in the budget.
>>11762251>tiny Reflector camera comes with the Skywarp pack instead of this onereally Takara?
>>11762038>>11762080It's 100% going to use the SS86 seeker mould.
>>11762252Hey, why not make the Leader Class, a smaller fare from the massive Titan that desecrated the original base mode, do the cubic base?
>>11762236>I just want a Fort Max that actually transforms into THE Fort Max, the iconic pyramid-like structure we see in the old G1 toy.Agreed.
>>11762255
>>11762257>>11762255>>11762236I suspect that one reason that they are moving away from the citybots for Titan class is they don't want to make the little figures that compliment them any longer. You need Core class and smaller to really enjoy the old Titans.
>>11762262A new Fortress Maximus would need to include a Cerebros Titanmaster anyways, that's all it needs. They can rerelease the Siege Cog separately.
>>11762254ain't no way. they wouldn't choose some random nobody with a near-identical transformation to maverick only to inexplicably use the seeker mold
While has hasn't been on Transformers in a while, Lenny is leaving Hasbro. Any toys the man had a hand in that you love?https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Lenny_PanzicaI'd say of that list, Volvo Optimus would have to be my favorite.
>>11762196How are Cyberwold doing in general? Do children like them? I stopped being a person a while ago, so I have no frame of reference.
>>11762274It's popular yeah - cyberworld has1) fun cartoon (it sort of reminds me of 90s Reboot even - sometimes i watch it when i drink coffee)2) fun toys that liked by kids and adults (that insect, scorponok Elita and Grimlock being bought by adults as well)
>>11762270Optimus Primal maybe? His list of projects seems to include a lot of things that went wrong.>The surname Panzica is of Italian origin, specifically from Sicily. It is derived from the Sicilian word "panza," meaning "belly" or "paunch," and is often considered a nickname turned surname for someone who was stout or had a prominent belly.What a horrible family name. His ancestors should have changed it when they came to America.
>>11762270I’d probably have to say Prime Predaking, T30 Windblade, Kingdom Tigatron, and Legacy Laser Prime. They’re all pretty solid toys
>>11762196Oh, that was Euro. I need to pay more attention.
>>117622875eur is still super cheap transformers-wise.I'd say it's the cheapest "best transformer" i ever seen in my entire life.Usually you can count "good cheap transformer" to go for at least 11 eur (it was like that when core class existed and they went on sale sometimes)5 eur is "piss cheap" by transformers toys in europe-standarts.Last time i saw something like that crazy was Earthrise Jetfire going for 35 eur
>Leader LugnutFuck, he's going to be too small.
Megatron must be stopped.
>>11762297No matter the cost...
>>11762295The original was a voyager that used a lot of the mass for his weapon, so it can't be worse (lie).
Optimus Prime must be stopped!
>>11762302>I'm going to pick a bad leader just to prove a point
>>11762114If it was a Leader then 100%, but I don't know if they'd sell it as a Voyager
I decided to redo my first custom megaempress.
Stupid question, but besides Transformers and Power Rangers, what other franchises did Cocks-run Hasbro screw over?
>>11762279>What a horrible family nameI've seen worse>>11762313>Cocks
>>11762313Was he in charge during the whole Magic Pinkerton fiasco or was that Goldner?
>>11762302Man, I wish I'd sold my Orthia when I had a chance.
>Listed as sold out online>Three in stock at physical storeMan, Walmart's internal system is weird
>>11762313all of them?
>>11762334Whoops, forgot to add image
>>11762336Adopt Airachnid.
>>11762339I’ve thought about it but I just bought a bunch of figures about a week or two ago so I’m trying to space out my purchases
>>11762297>>11762298god this mold looks awful. like an upscale KO of a 3P legends class
>Scoop is a Scrapper repaintHmn, do I want Devy to have an orange leg . . .>>11762038It'll either be a new mold that will be a basis for Predators or a Needlenose remold
>>11762336>>11762339She's a really great figure. I'm impressed with what they did.Conversely I was a bit disappointed with Amalgamous Prime; I wanted his shoulders to pop out too instead of being connected to his torso.I still got 2 of them and want a third, but it's a missed partsformer-combiner opportunity.
>>11762335I knew it! Chris Cocks is definitely placed in Hasbro deliberately by Trump to screw over the whole world.
>>11762354>Needlenose remoldthat seems impractical. they'd have to either reverse his torso and find a way to flip his wings behind him, or add an entire fake front half of a jet for his torso and find some way to make it stow away in alt mode
So no abominus any time soon? is it safe to slowly scrounge up the combiner wars set to complete him?
>>11762334They don't pay their employees enough to give a fuck about the internal system, let alone update it.
>>11762336Your walmart has blokees? Lucky!>>11762339I went for Elita since she appeared to be short packed and Airachnid is shelfwarming pretty hardBut I'll get her at some point
>>11762386I wouldn't expect a new Abominus for another 3 or 4 years at least. There's no G1 combiner next year apparently, then it will be Defensor since they're doing them in order for the most part. Then probably Predaking, and then maybe Abominus. The POTP version is probably the best of that generation of combiners, so there's that.
>Voy G2 MegatronSo he's going to be shorter than SS86 Megatron lmao
>>11762336It's still so weird to me that stores actually stock things like the minibots that sell exclusively to freaks like us. Surely normal parents aren't randomly buying $30 palm-sized toys of characters their kids have never heard of
>Audio for portions of this video has been muted as it appears to contain copyrighted content owned or controlled by a third party
>>11762421It also is very simple compared to 86.
>>11762295>>11762299Also Lugnut's transformation is not massively complicated, so there's a chance he'll be a simple but effective and BIG proper Leader like the SS86 Dinobots, which would be fine in my book. And to be fair on the OG toy, he's actually pretty bulky, it's just he's got very stumpy legs.
>>11762302I never saw any of her limbs for sale except for Moonracer. Shame, I would've bought the rest had they simply been put in a store near me.
>>11762421I’m fine with him being shorter since that means he’ll scale with Laser Prime a lot better. Now we just have to convince Hasbro that a Hero retool of Volvo Prime is a good idea
>>11762432Greenlight and Lancer were online only iirc.
>Why are you still a tape deck?! It's 2005!
>>11762449He was an MP3 player that one time, wasn't he?Do people still remember MP3 players?
>>11762449Tape deck RULES!
>>11762384you'll take your repaint with a new head and like it.
>>11762336quack
>>11762449these days even zoomers are into tape decks/walkmans.subscription services bored the fuck out of everyone.Physical edition made a huge return and tape deck Soundwave is even cooler now
>>11762449>>11762481Hey, I just had an idea for the "hearts of steel" line.
>>11762426AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONEYOU'VE NEVER WALKED YOU'VE NEVER RUNYOU'RE A WINNER
>>11762485Vinyl never died.we have modern "came out yesterday" games having soundtrack releases on vinyl.Vinyls are basically just another form of media at this point and its not going away.
>>11762485PS:but yeah this type of player would be amazing for an ancient soundwave
>>11762499I know some people who collect them but I never see them play them.I play some Christmas stuff on my record player but that's one month a year.
>>11762501i play them - i use it as a background music during the day or when i relax/drink coffee or do some other stuff inbetween.
>>11762507I really need open up my record player and see what's wrong with itIt sounds like it's playing 15% slow
>>11762511>It sounds like it's playing 15% slowit's 95% the rubber string inside. it became slow or stretched out.
>>11762511Wait a second
>>11762513>it became slow*became old
>>11762513Easy to replace or pain in the ass to source?>>11762514What? It's just Sideways
>>11762253I mean I get it, they figure anyone who gets Thundercracker will want Skywarp as well and vice versa, so most collectors will be in for both sets anyway.
>>11759562>>11759570>threads get so fucking derailed and off-topic that we'll now outright get spoilers for the comicsThis is so cool
>>11762196his weapon is a big stupid gimmicky 'busy box' like they give to babies, and he has no elbowsthe fact that every single other aspect of him is amazing doesn't negate that unfortunate fact.
>>11762213what Anon meant is "they figured out how to make BA work, more or less, despite all the cheating, so they can make Tarantulas work, using the same tricks"He's unaware that Tarantulas needs no tricks. He is basically his toy.
>>11762245Surprised somebody saved my pic, they're not the bestI miss having an actual space for stuff
>>11762279once they came to america, they didn't need to anymore. Hell, the #1 thing italian-american immigrants loved was how cheap food was here, especially meat. Hence all the meat sauces that developed, and the giant meatballs.>>11762270well lessee.>the same guy designed Tigatron as designed Primal and RhinoxI guess when he had something to copy from, he did better.>laser optimus and tm2 megatronyeeesh. maybe it's best he retired.
>>11762567That issue is months old.
>>11762612>noooo you were supposed to keep up with the monthly printed toy commercial if you want to post on /toy/ -ToysFucking retard
>>11762616Why did you call it a spoiler if you don't care about it then? Some like:>threads get so fucking derailed and off-topic that we'll now outright get comicpostingaccomplishes the important aspects.
>>11762356well a lot of those words are true if put into a different order, so yeah
>>11762423the fuck toys are you talking about
>>11762542different anon here but i've watched a lot of Techmoan videos:the trick is knowing what size to get. and also hoping your old one didn't leave a gooey residue behind, not unlike some transformers rubber parts. Back then everything had available schematics so you could find out.
No pics but on my SS86 G2 Swoop. One of the hip joints was much looser than the other so what I did was I unscrewed the the hip and I took out the green ratchet piece and one of them was a little bit more smooshed so what I did was I took a piece of ABS plastic from a model kit and inserted it in there and now it’s nice and tight.
>>11762619>Why did you call it a spoiler if you don't care about it then?Because I'm not caught up you dense fucking retard, the monthly comics went on some hiatus and I forgot about it, and /co/ didn't always have threads and so it was less fun reading by myself. And speaking of which, If I wanted to discuss comics, I'd go on - surprise surprise - /co/ - Comics & CartoonsEvery fucking time I check here it's 40 posts about tangential shit or outright politics, which people just refuse to not engage with
>>11762630Okay then. Now next time you can speculate on leaks instead of linking to the old thread.
>>11762630Not to play devil's advocate too hard but anon you could read all of Skybound in, like, half a day. There's no excuse to not be caught up.
>>11762257I really need to get the Toyhax label sets for him still
Okay, with the last one and a half Prime (the true Nexus Prime not appearing until next year FTFY) finally released, everyone showcase your complete Thirteen Primes. You can choose your Thirteenth too, by the way.
>>11762384RID bots get zero effort, remember Tow-Line?
>>11762673It was such a weird choice to me that they started with the Junkions' designs and retooled them instead of starting with the known characters and reverse engineering them into Junkions
Give it to me straight bros, is there any hope for my girl?
>>11762691I don't think she is going to be top 30 for comic designs unless there is someone that is an easy partial.
>>11762691>>11762694I was going to say her proportions might be impossible for a bike transformation but then I remembered Oil Slick exists
>>11762632>nooooo you can't link to any of the other seventeen threads in the catalog>>11762637No I should catch up, I never dropped it out of a lack of enthusiasm, it's just that having forgot about the monthly release schedule too often, I figured I'd read a chunk of it in one sitting at some point, and that day never came
>>11762309Than it's almost certain the Gen selects fugure reissued
>>11762701It could also be a new mold to match Legacy Laser Prime
>>11762696Animated designs will never be topped
>>11762709I don't even like animated and I need Oil Slick
>>11762133cringe
>>11762673all the more reason to use a mold that already has a similar layout
>>11762624He means the Retro Tranformers like Outback and Wheelie there in the pic >>11762336
>>11762713Can’t wait for the inevitable disappointment when a Voyager Oil Slick listing is leaked and it’s this guy instead
>>11762719But isn't that mold bad?. I don't have it but I heard it's pretty lousy
>>11762722Anon the new versions of older toys are so rarely good, in those cases I'd always much rather tank Ebay prices for a good toy than slightly less for a bad reinterpretation
>>11762719I get why they would use this mold but I always felt that the Deluxe Jets should be Deluxes instead so they scale closer to their appearance in BWII>>11762725I was moreso referring to the fandom's reaction to finding an Oil Slick listing and inevitably getting less hype if it was G1 Oil Slick instead
>>11762730>I always felt that the Deluxe Jets should be Deluxesthe leaked listing says he's a voyager
>>11762700Yes. Get with the times old man.
>>11762731I know, it feels weird to make them the same size class as Megastorm/G2 Megatron
>>11762722>Based on two different "Ratchet but Green" toys, at least one of which was a reference to the live-action one. Huh. Would it be 86 Ratchet with a new head and deco?
>>11762722That’s fine with me.Evil Decepticon versions of Autobots is what I live for.SlicerExhaustBug BiteViperNemesis PrimeMetrotitanG1 BarricadeI’m probably the only guy in the world that wanted a Giant Purple Griffin made from Earthrise Sky Lynx.
>>11762719Can they even reuse Collaborative molds? I don't think they've ever done it before.
>>11762743>Flamewar or Nightbird depending on if two wheels or four
>>11762743>>11762746It’s a shame we get so many evil versions of good guys and close to no good versions of evil guys
>>11762722it's kinda funny how taking two individually pretty neat figures, mixing them together and naming it after one of the coolest designs ever ends up making the blandest looking character of all time
>>11762754Because the Decepticons are cooler.
>>11762743I noticed we just got a "Nemesis Form Nemesis Prime", a G1 Optimus Prime in usual Nemesis colors (either based on Missing Link or the Legacy United G1 Optimus mold) in the New Legends comic, maybe we could get that Nemesis Prime in Age of Evolution, probably even in the first wave.
>>11762720what the actual fuck, 27 dollars.. how.
>>11762038Hopefully it's a new mold and we get MW Thundercracker/Skywarp with it and possibly a remold into MW Megaplex.
>>11762761my overfilled predacon shelf cannot disagree, nor the movie shelf above it which is mostly decepticools. The bad guys just have way cooler designs. cooler beast modes, cooler alien robot modes in bayformers, and even in g1 stuff, way cooler altmodes. i'll take tanks and jets over cars annnnyday.but see, if they were good guy versions, they'd still BE those cool altmodes/shapes, right? just in different colors. which I likeSeriously I can't stop thinking about how much i want a shattered glass beast megatron now.
>>11762768that's what deluxes cost noweven tiny ones
>>11762743For some reason I treat Viper as my “sixth” member of the Combaticons.Like Off-road to Stunticons, Alpha Bravo to Aerialbots and Rook to Protectobots.
>>11762034>"I'm not taking my foot flaps off, I am Powerglide O'Tool!"
>>11762691Her transformation looks close enough to Legacy Evolution Animated Prowl/Legacy United Chromia, though they'd have to retool the chest by removing the motorcycle windshield.A Crashbar retool would be a more likely option, though, even if it would look less like her in the end.
>>11762723>But isn't that mold bad?The mold itself is fine. The big thing people had an issue with was the fact that he's molded in a weird, creamy grey plastic similar to the white parts on ApeFace, made worse from the "battle damage" paint smeared all over him. Theoretically, if he'd been cast in a normal grey plastic with no paint, he'd be pretty cool.
>>11762776maybe in Canada
>>11762567Optimus dies
Did they confirm/did it leak a viper with the current powerglide mould or am I imagining things?
>>11762743>I’m probably the only guy in the world that wanted a Giant Purple Griffin made from Earthrise Sky Lynx.You're not! I've been saying this for years (decades).
>>11762803where do they cost less? That's what I paid and I'm no Canuck
>>11762795I thought I read he was really flimsy too.
>>11762778Shockwave is the sixth member. like, EVERYONE knows THAAAAT, gooosh
>>11762820confirmed as a Walmart exclusive for next year: >>11761829
>>11762822those are not the prices for deluxes right now. come on. it's bad but it's not that bad.
>>11762810He does that all the time
>>11762828Thanks. I just bought the combiner wars one anyway because he's a cool little a-10 and pretty cheap

>>11762840what does the 'retro' part mean, this is a special line, right? this isn't a normal part of legacy, can't be.
>>11762723good mold but the colors suck and yellow over time along with also SUCKING
>>11762844They're decoed and sometimes remolded to resemble their original toys as opposed to their animation models. It Outbacks case, it's kind of a moot point since his toy and animation model look pretty much the same but figures like Seaspray, Gears, and Wheelie have toy based heads
>>11762844yeah, they're technically exclusives, but general release figures are the same price. I paid that price off of Pulsehttps://www.walmart.com/ip/TRA-GEN-STUDIO-SERIES-A-LEVEL-DLX-DEV-BB/17376504246?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1600&from=/search
>>11762821Exactly, what else can you retool the Sky Lynx mold to?Might as well do it for a Generation Selects.
was gonna buy flatline but then I saw picrel in the reviews. is this just a bad copy or does the mold have the rubber that melts other figures?
>>11762848and you say they're palm-sized despite being deluxes?
>>11762855my flatline doesnt have rubber tires its plastic. dude probably got a defective copy or it was sitting in the sun all day
>>11762865rubber is plastic with a rubberizing plasticizer
>>11762855that image has a poorly spray painted black sandstorm, so leaving a trail of black gunk isnt surprising.
>>11762869so someone did a swappo?
>>11762874yup, i havent watched the video but i own both flatline and sandstorm.
>>11762869oh fucking kek don't know how I didn't notice that
>>11762855>>11762869Public lynchings will correct such behaviour
>>11762853>Exactly, what else can you retool the Sky Lynx mold to?Shattered Glass Sky Lynx, though maybe with a wilder paint scheme than what he canonically has.I still want the Giant Purple Gryphon, though.>>11762855That's clearly black paint - Flatline doesn't have rubber tires.
>>11762877is paint really cheap enough to make that a viable source of profit?
>>11762881ehh I'd rather have something cleaner. Humans are more valuable than animals. we deserve the same humane death they get. Captured bolt to the head, instant death.also, while we do need to be doing this, we need to do it for all the dangerous violent criminals roaming the streets, and everyone on heroin. Theft is a little extreme for that, the punishment for theft is slave labor for no more than 6 years. Basic common sense.
>>11762616Anon it's easily over 5-6 months+ oldYou are retarded to not be at least reading it online
Another minibot for me
>>11762900see >>11762616
>>11762910maybe it's just me but that brow makes powerglide look fucking PISSED
>>11762932>WHADDYA MEAN I'M NOT ALLOWED TO FUCK HUMAN WOMEN?!
was powerglide under snow bunny mind control or was he just a player
>>11762913Retard copeYour own fault
>>11762947Retard
>>11762947>>11762949Great posts from both of youWell done
>>11762456>>11762466>>11762481I was a Beast Wars kid, but Blaster and Soundwave are actually two of my favorites from G1 in part because their alt modes are so representative of the 80s. Makes them both kind of tough to modernize, but also makes them more special at the same time.>>11762485I'd buy it.
Got a notice that the Ameribirb will be shipping out soon. Hope everyone else that wanted her managed to get orders in on time.
>>11762968I’ve always thought the best modernization of their alt modes would be as either a News Van or News Helicopter to keep them non-combative while tying into the espionage side of their powers
Oh please, let me have my glup shittoThat and Decepticon Creat-A-BotThose would be coolAnyone else have dream figs that will never be made?
>>11762987Soundwave being a helicopter would also let him to fly in robot mode like he did in the original cartoon (and for a much better reason).
>>11762994My personal glup shitto
>>11762855This feels like a weird bait to just see if anyone here is a real person that post here.
>>11762981Me too
>>11762994I know we have the mold for him right now, but I feel like Buzzbomb is way too obscure for the team to ever do him, especially since he never officially appears in fiction like this.
What are the odds the Commander for Age of Evolution is Energon Megatron? He fits the theme of the line that is apparently central to 'Megatrons' from what the leakers say by being a Megatron himself. Commander Class alternates between faction class and the last and most recent Commander is Armada Autobot Jetfire so the next Commander is definitely a Decepticon. And Megatron's new body is quite literally an evolution of his old Armada body, complete with his Armada corpse turning into a cocoon and a mold for the Energon to pour in and form his new body.
>>11763020It is weird that there weren’t any Commanders listed in the recent leaks. Is Magnaboss supposed to be the Commander of this series or the next one?
>>11763021Commanders don't get leaked this early because they never show up in the first wave of the toyline, usually they release around wave 2 or 3 mostly 3. Magnaboss was shut down by JTPrime the leaker since he never dropped the word magna, only said boss and not every word was a hint.
>>11763023I thought there was another leaker who claimed we’d get Magnaboss but I could be misremembering
>>11762034>oh yeah it's late April!!! Sunstreaker will be available soon! :D>...>for some reason it's 6 May nowoh well...i can wait
>>11762824He's not particularly flimsy but that mold is incredibly mediocre. Although the lack of paint does make him good custom fodder.Also they don't make remolds of crossover molds. No idea why though
Here's hoping that leaked Autobot Cassette pack includes Rewind.
>>11763027He showed up in my pile of loot already, and BBTS is usually behind everyone else. Odd.
>>11762994I have a dark green repaint of Ramhorn called Grunt.He’s Blaster’s fuel scout.
>>11762886SG Sky Lynx is difficult to do, he's a unique case where he's not based on any existing toy with a new deco, he's an original design.
>>11763070Bro they can just ignore it and do something else like they did with SG Goldbug and others. You act like anyone actually gives a shit.
>>11763039Nah, It'll be Dairu and Zauru again with Slamdance
>>11763027>>11763049everything is a mess. My local Target got the latest voyagers of Shockwave, Skywarp, Sidways, and Nexus before anywhere online did.
>>11763027I got him I wanna say like two months ago.
>>11762836Speaking of combiner sars viper/powerglide, why didnt they come with any manner of gun of their own? (Or that I can see)Is it because they themselves were the gun and have inbuilt missile rack looking things?
>>11763107Wars* kek

>>11762886>>11763089Shattered Glass is so weird when you retrofit them back onto G1 molds. Because they had to use a lot of Unicorn Trilogy toys they didn't bother giving some different colourschemes so they don't even look evil/heroic. Sometimes they don't even look different. And for some reason they didn't use more fitting molds like Goldbug could have been from Hot Rod since he was an Excillion repaint.
>>11763089Shattered Glass was a lot better when based around the context of the figures they had to work with which made them more interesting. Here they just take the original mold and recolor it. Honestly some of the most soulless shit ever although Grape flavor convoy came from it so I guess I can't complain too much. This guy sums it up well>The original wave of shattered Glass figures having a varied look was so much more interesting though. Now everything is just the G1 version, but different colors. I liked the implication of the different looks; Like in the SG universe , Bumblebee prioritized power so he got rebuilt into a stronger Goldbug form early, or Starscream keeping his Cybertronian form, and Megatron using Energon Megatron's tank accessory as his roller expy were all really clever.I also liked that while the SG universe resembled G1 on the surface, it was more of a mashup of all existing universes up until then.
Now that we actually have more Unicron Trilogy toys I hope they get SG repaints one day
>>11763122I like everything you said about SG but I absoluted hated when they reused preexisting toys for SG recolours. Especially for Beast Wars. It would have been so much better if everyone got new colourschemes. Universe Primal was one of my favourite toys as a kid for some reason and I don't want him to be evil or have ugly purple autobot logos if he ever gets another toy.
>>11763121If you're talking about when Funpub SG, they already had a Hot rod repaint so making a goldbug out of that would have been redundant. Hot Shot was more of a bumblebee expy than a Hot Rod one in GF/Cybertron despite the namesake. Otherwise in regards to Goldbug, I don't think the Hot Rod mold was even out yet and considering their design philosophy I don't think they would have bother using it either.
I just saw Armada Jetfire is happening, is it still instock anywhere or ak I fucked out of ever getting it? Not interested in supporting faggot scalpers.
>>11763132It'll be about six months before you need to worry about getting one in hand
>>11763089If you don't give a shit, then why would you even want SG Sky Lynx to begin with?
>>11762994I want all of the fembots from the Cybertron crowd scenes in TFA.
>>11762994So what do you want as base? Collab Maverick? Animated Slipstream?
>>11763182Man I want to see how Takara handles ML Ironhide and Ratchet
>>11763182>dairycon Ironhide
>>11763196I still want them to make deluxe (or core/scout, that'd be cool) sized versions of all the Spychangers, I've wanted them to have articulation ever since I first spotted the box art all those years ago.
>>11763196LOL>>11763198Damn didnt think of that. Thatd be cool
>>11763207They've all got that classic hood-chest look, I don't even care that they'd all share the same transformation I'd buy 'em.
>>11763192My assumption is that it would be like their Encore series toys, but with the heads being actual metal that can fold backwards into the hood to give them toy accurate designs as well>>11763198I said a while ago that if they ever bring back Core, the first things they should make are either the Spychangers, Beast Wars characters to scale, or ML style Mini-Bots to match United Toy Optimus
>Take that, you poor excuse for a sound system!
>>11763139Fair. Im just so used to the whole "preorder or miss out" mentality that a lot of stuff forces lately
>>11763246Preorders are sold out on Pulse at leastBut they always seem to get next to no stock
>>11763196deserves to be a fembotyou know why.
>>11763142Most people don't have any strong attachment to SG and the Pulse line proved as much so this cuts both ways meaning they could just take ER Skylynx and deco him Black and purple to represent that and it would sell well enough. It's like Astrotrain Galaxy Shuttle that sold very well in spite of it being a lazy retool and not an actual good homage because he looked cool enough.
>>11763209>every single one is Kingdom Sideswipe retoolWouldn't even be mad
>>11763283That'd be acceptable, the mold might look good in Crosswise colors
I want trickdiamondI dont want to pay obscene pricesWhy does hasbro lament the performance of fembots yet hold the best ones hostage in older special lines? Or give us nightmares like strongarm
>>11763192
>>11762864I didn't say that. That was someone else. but they are small since they minibots. I would say they're a little larger than palm sized
>>11762981USA!USA!I should stick her with my G.I. Joe crossovers
>>11763107a lot of the core class figures didn't come with guns back then. especially minibot guys
>>11763320One day we'll get a new MegatroniaMaybe Takara will bash one up in the New Legends line
I was gonna get sideways then I found out about this guy. chances we get a rapid run redeco?
>>11763351Maybe as a Wal-Mart exclusive since they did a few toy-only redecos, but I wouldn't expect it to happen.
>>11763351I'd say there's a good chance. What else can they do with the Sideways mold?
>>11763004Tbf he did get a lot of characterisation, and his altmode is so generic he could be retooled from basically anyone.
>>11763356Yeah, but it's Gun Megatron again only his character is very reliant on his never-happening alt mode. He turns into an atom bomb anon
>>11763356The more I think about it the more I think me as a kid would really enjoy having a guy who just turns into a bomb but I imagine that a suicide bomber toy isn't really something a standard kid should find fun so I think if they ever make a toy of this guy they're just gonna make him a generic spaceslop mobile like soundwave
>>11763359If we had Commander or Titan Lugnut he could have been the companion with a bomb-bay in Lugnut to store in.
>>11762968it helps that most of the tapes turn into animals
>>11762981wow, that was fast. she just went on preorder.i hope mine comes through soonI'll share the repainting job I do, once I make her an all-blue birb.
>>11763362I think you just named the one character I'd buy a titan just to get
>>11762994Maybe Sentinel Maximus isnt that far off consider we're getting Megazarak somehow apparently?
>>11763185Honestly I'm fine with anything so long as they get the face right.Although if I had it my way, she'd be compatible with a mainline Liokaiser, like Deathcobra. Still pisses me off that some people say Liokaiser couldn't be done at retail since he's "too obscure". Fucking Magmatron was mainline. I guess this goes for Haslabs in general. Fuck I just want to have affordable Victory figures.And Animated Lyzack
>>11763361>imagine that a suicide bomber toy isn't really something a standard kid should find funMotU just rereleased their suicide bomber. It was on their store and not literally a bomb though so maybe it was easier to get away with.
>>11763386>Fucking Magmatron was mainline.I dont want to defend Hasbro but Magmatron was a glup shitto mainline Beast Machines character, somehow. Speaking of this era I'd love to see the mutants. And I'm mad they messed up Twrecks colors still.
>>11763387Fulcrum is absolutely a bomb zero interpretations possible. Dude turns into a whistling sound weeeeeeeeeee KSH-BOOOOOOOM bomb. The only thing closer would be a cartoon round bomb with the wick and all, but that's probably easier to get away with since it's not modern.
>>11762994Sakamoto's manga are full of cool designs that should be real but never will be>Black Zarak (TR Twinferno mold with TR Scorponok Headmaster and Terradive spear)>Bludgeon (TR Hardhead with TR Getaway Headmaster and Windblade sword
>>11763391Do you have a pic of the second one?I wanted BM Quake to be real
>>11763391
>>11763395
>>11763391I found one but not with that exact head.
>>11763395Also I want this version of Devcon and the green Ramulus and purple BM Snarl who was never released around the same time. Picking him because of the head gun was just funny but the design looks sick.
>>11763401
>>11763027oh hey he comes with one of those leaf scoop things for your yard
>>11763122yeah but sometimes those toy appearances don't make any sense.shattered glass dino megatron in the Beast Planet aesthetic is like, not ... energon-resistant, so it's not the shattered glass version of their trip to earth
Animated Shattered Glass had some nice recolors. Most were technically just fanart and not official though.
>>11763397This would've been great to pair with the potp shell.
>>11763389Do toy weapon restrictions even apply to bombs though? Seems that would apply to realistic weapons like guns.
>>11763417No idea, I assumed it was partially the law thing but also partially not wanting to be close to real-world stuff since it's children's toys. The way Lego allows laser weaponry and stuff but not anything resembling real-world conflict.
>>11763418i'm so sick of modern people thinking an image can contain more reality than another image.I guess it's the natural consequence of that "whatever you feel is your true identity" crap. Now if you look at something and it feels real, it is.
>>11763359why can't they make a bomb alt mode? there's no laws against that like toy guns.
>>11763434See >>11763418No idea. I assume it's to distance themselves from modern/real war, though.
>>11763435>>11763418Just call his alt mode a submarine
>>11763386>Fucking Magmatron was mainline.He was released in the US under the Beast Machines: Dinobots line. Liokaiser and his components never had a US release. Ergo, Magmatron gets a mainline release, while Liokaiser is too obscure.
>>11763442Also Magmatron is one toy, while Liokaiser is still six at the end of the day.
>>11763418>not wanting to be close to real-world stuff since it's children's toystanks and planes are real weapons of war that killed thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people in human history what are you guys talking about.
Crap. Is there a way to repair damaged plastic bits? Part of Waterlog's "wing" broke off at the hinge.
>>11763453son you're bringing sense to a nonsense fight.
>>11763458at the hinge? that's really rough. You can probably get it back on, but it won't be strong enough to fuck with ever againif something ever snaps partway along the part, you can drill holes and insert small metal rods to reinforce what you glue, but... right AT the hinge, where there's presumably a pin inside, you are probably fucked. feel free to show us pictures.
I was so sure legacy magmatron wouldn't be popular enough to sell out anywhere so I could pick him up at discount in the futurefuckin' NOPE.
I haven't heard anyone say it out loud yet, but I just clocked that Windcharger has pinned wheels
>>11763464Has any commander done that?
>>11763464Nigga it's a big dinosaur demon hydra dragon.YOU FOOLYOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON
>>11763468Rodimus. I got him cheap.
>>11763389You could turn it upside down and say it's a "rocket ship". It worked for Shockwave
>>11763469yeah but he's also huge and, while awesome, deeply flawed (mainly landsaur's proportions)
>>11763472Yeah, but I mean he's got a lot of appeal to a non-fan that most other Transformers don't
>>11763344It's a terrible irony that fembots do poorly compared to the rest but they seemingly only release arcee and elita redecos ad nauseum with few others inbetween when people would pay a small fortune for megatronia and they just shrug their shoulders. I would buy fembots that are bots, not just 60s scifi metal ladies with shell vehicles or bodies that dont lend themselves to alt modes
>>11763475I suppose so. I would think he'd look a little too wacky and too anime to a casual fan. With his giant head wings and random elasmosaur head that doesn't go anywhere...
>>11763478I would like to second this but remind the designers that fembots turn quite nicely into svelte beast modes.I memba in here we were trying to maybe create a thread mascot, and we decided on a cute shy hermit crab girl. I had an okay design started but...
>>11763461After looking at it closely, I realized the pin rotates when the side that broke goes left or right, but the pin on the okay one is static. I wonder if it broke from the pin moving when it shouldn't.
>>11763488huh, that is interestingbut it does look like you basically just got a chip. that SHOULD glue right back on without any troubleI thought you were saying the WING came off, broke off at the hinge.
>>11763490I guess I didn't explain it very well. Thanks for your advice. I'll try gluing it and hope for the best.
>>11763418Said it before in an older thread but I think they could get away with calling him a "rocket ship". Just slap a window as a cockpit or something and call it a day
>>11763464We all learn the hard way
>>11763494Nerd girls are so cute, I wish they were real
>>11762034This pastebin is so outdated it still lists an Armada Megatron PR when that was confirmed to be replaced by Megazarak. Does anyone have a list of 2026's Studio Series leaks?
>>11763507The pastebin is so outdated it's still calling the mainline Legacy and lists a bunch of cancelled Studio Series toys.
>>11762994Beast Wars Metals manga designs
>>11763499I WISH GLYPH WAS REAL We have one billion bumblebees and only 1 Glyph from back in the day
>>11763507>>11763522See? When I ask people to point out what's wrong this is what I want to hear!
>>11763529The single lone Botcon that is $100+ now
THREE DNA kits on this boy nowYEAAAWhat changed?Minimal honestlylmao
>>11762994Anything T-AI related. I'll take a mini-figure pack-in ala MP Spike or Sparkplug, or even a fembot repaint in her colorscheme, whatever. I'm almost tempted to get that statue of her bathing, she has so little...
>>11763537Here's some updates for you.>Change Legacy to Age of the Primes, or Age of Evolution since that's the next one>add the extended 2027 AotP wave>Armada Megatron reissue was replaced with Megazarak>Remove TLK Drift, Rise Lifeline, 86 Perceptor reissue and WFC Autobot Soldier, they've all been cancelled (Perceptor was in that cassette pack instead)>TLK Hound appears to have been delayed, remove it until the listing is leaked again>Add the Target SS86 line. Prowl, Starscream and the insecticon 3 pack are still coming later this year.>GIJoe Optimus might have been cancelled>More Hotwheels collab with a new Twin Mill.>The Gen Selects combiner is Monstructor>Multipack is Maximals
>>11763564I dont fucking get it she doesn't even have a third party toy as far as I know. And I tried looking because I got tap out from someone
>>11763566And he still looks like cotton hill.
