Astroslop is starting to appear at Walmart and Target! Will you be picking him up?>>11772317
Actually having thirteen robots be the first cybertronians only sounds cool as a story, it isn't as cool in practice.I prefer a straight lineage of primes from one era to the next, stretching backwards through time into the misty past. Optimus can commune with the matrix and consult the primes of old. There's no need for a bunch of spiky guys (and a girl, don't forget there's a girl now!) hanging around at the beginning of time embodying toy gimmicks.The primes are dumb.
>>11775800omg...OMG...FIRST LOOK AT THE NEW GLUP SHITTO!!!FINALLY!!! IT'S MY FAVORITE GLUP SHITTOREMEMBER THAT PART WHEN HE WAS DOING "CHOO CHOOO" IN THE MOVIE :D HE WAS RUDING AND AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFORMING INTO A SHUTTLE AND BLASTING OFF!!(hehe get it...Blasting Off...like Blast Off ;) - the other shuttle transformer? lol! :D)
>>11775806The 13 Primes and the lineage of Primes are different thingsEven if they both start with Prima
>>11775809I'm saying the lineage is an interesting enough notion that the 13 are unnecessary, redundant, and gay
>still seething
>Do not speak to me or my sons ever again.>>11775800Maybe when he goes on discount. The robot mode is undeniably awful looking, but I don't have an Astrotrain and don't want to pay aftermarket prices for the Siege mold.
>>11775800First reply to this post ending in 2 decides what I open first from my little backlog....Uh, ignore Galvatron and Wheeljack there, they're duplicates.
>>11775814Is that little guy called "Terrorcon Freezer"?The hell is he? I'm interested now.
What is your fondest Transformer memory? Mine is getting some VHS tapes from my parents. I watched them for years. I didn't have any toys of any character who was in the show, until many years later when I had my first dollar I earned and went to a local junk shop and saw Sludge there and instantly recognized him from the episode SOS Dinobots I had. I bought him instantly.
>>11775813Slugfest and Overkill when?
>one shall stand prime arrived>tempted to keep him in box until fall meg shows up>that's september hereHe looks cool at least, but of course feels incomplete without damaged megatron
>>11775813>Maybe when he goes on discount. The robot mode is undeniably awful looking, but I don't have an Astrotrain and don't want to pay aftermarket prices for the Siege mold.he will definitely go on sale around this autumn close to black friday's amazon sale.I got Grimlock for around 47 bucksBlack Ttypticon went for 150.transformers are not that expensive if you are not a preorder monke
>>11775821I actually didn't remember these fuckers at all, probably because they only appeared in one episode of season 3 (all of which is better off forgotten). I'd like them now as well though, Overkill looks fucking cool.
>>11775827>I actually didn't remember these fuckers at all, probably because they only appeared in one episode of season 3literal Glup Shitto - cassetes
>>11775827Overkill got a toy in TR that was pretty great, he's not a tape but he can become a bird or a gun.I'd like them to do the combining tape guys but they never, ever will.
>>11775827>>11775830The best part is they show up and the are immediately forgotten after their reveal. Makes it feel like Hasbro said "hey this episode isn't advertising enough toys" and the response was "shit uh... dinodudes for one cut".
>>11775806Yeah I fucking hate them too. Maybe if they didn't look like shit.
>>11775820Reading g1 comics at my barber Watching Beast Wars every weekPlaying with the toys obviously and when my parents would buy me stuff or get me present. The more expensive things get now the more I appreciate them for trying to give me a good childhood.
>>11775820An older cousin gave me most of his G1 collection as he was going off to school, I got a bunch of transformers and GI Joes in a big aquarium box. It was my first encounter with transformers as a concept and I got hooked as soon as I saw one transform back and forth. Soon after my mother brought home a dozen or so of the marvel comics from the antique store she was part-time at, and I poured over those for hours. I loved Circuit Breaker and wish she'd come back.
>>11775827>>11775832Was gonna say, he got a cool little headmaster bot with nice colours. Would be nice to get them in cassette form though, and Squawktalk, I really want a Squawktalk.
>>11775827>>11775832I actually really loved the Titans Return version of this guy. 'Course they had to call him "Overboard" because KILL is apparently too much, but the new name basically means the same thing. He scales pretty well with the other casetteish bots and makes for a good stand-in until he gets an actual new mold (never).
>>11775846I remember buying this guy specifically to put the head on that nitro zeus repaint.
>>11775846i was so happy to see Titans Return making many obscure characters.It was the first time i got Ape Face and was happy enough with it for a while before that earthrise apeface.
>>11775806The only 13 I like are Alpha Trion and Vector Prime... who were shoehorned into it. The idea has just never been executed well and feels shallow as a result.
>>11775844>loved Circuit Breaker and wish she'd come back.I had to look that up. I was expecting a robot but she looks cool. Theres so much transformer shit I know nothing about. I need to read the old comics someday.
>>11775846I regret not getting the Classic Grimlock repaint back in the day. That mold actually suited him because he was an itty bitty cassette.
>>11775800I think he looks good I can't wait to get him.
>>11775875She got paralyzed in a fight between Autobots and Decepticons. She fucking hates robots for this, and wound up getting a metal bikini that lets her fly and use magnet powers, which she proceeds to use on a bunch of Autobots who get in her way of her warpath. She's kind of crazy and I love that in a woman.
>>11775875NTA, but I've been reading the Marvel UK comics for a little over a year and I'm somewhere around the 160s right now. I think they hold up really well and are a lot of fun. Would love to see them do SS86 Megatron with these colors
>>11775885Why not get full armor like Iron Man?
>>11775886Marvel UK holds up really well. Honestly some of my favourite transformers stories come from them.
>>11775800I saw this guy in Target just this morning and he's unbelievably ugly and lanky in person.
>>11775889Because then you couldn't see much of her skin, and I wouldn't like her as much.Besides, the criss-cross circuitry theme her outfit has looks cool.
>>11775800Anons sometimes it's ok not to buy something.Just ignore this piece of crap. Few years later we will get another astro train and everybody will be shitting on this one even more.Why are you being a cattle that just buys new thing when it comes out.It's ok - you don't have to buy it. And everything says that it's a bad idea to buy this astrotrain. Just don't buy it. It's not a big deal...This figure is so bad.but at the same time nothing bad will happen to your or your life if your collection will be without SS86 Astro Train
>>11775890Yeah, I think I honestly like it more than mainline G1. It's a lot of the same characters and concepts, just put together better. And its take on certain characters is just straight up better. I always liked Shockwave, but these comics made me get why people love him (even if he's kind of fumbling the ball with Galvatron in the issues I've been reading recently).
>>11775897I still have my TR Astrotrain as my main one and that's okay, I shan't buy this one.
>>11775897im buying it and theres nothing you can do to stop me
>>11775862Vector Prime was introduced as a member of the 13.
>>11775895Most people think he's unbelievably ugly and lanky in photos as well.
So they're gonna do her justice with the new jetfire, right?
>>11775923No, they're going to do Astrotrain.
>>11775800this would look good in galaxy shuttle colors especially since galaxy shuttle is supposed to be tall
>>11775695Carnivac is cool - he's basically BW Dinobot. He showed up often enough in the comics along with the other Pretenders, but yeah - if you only saw the cartoons, you'd have no idea who he was.While I wish they'd done to him what they did to Iguanus, Bomburst, Skullgrin and Bludgeon by integrating his Pretender Shell into his robot mode (instead of recycling the Weirdwolf TR mold and turning him into a Headmaster in the process), I'm just happy he got a modern toy at this point.
>>11775800something was lost by not packaging Transformers in vehicle mode
>>11775897Anon is trying to ruin Hasbro one lost Astrotrain purchase at a time. Also good luck with the decade or more wait for the next release.
>>11775934SS86 is Astrotrain's third new mold in a decade.
>>11775923Space Warp is very unlikely. You don't see many remolds/recolors of command class molds. Skyfire - Shattered Glass variant - three years after releaseMotormaster - G2 version boxset - four years after releaseArmada OP - Nemesis Prime variant cab only - two years after release Frankly a Fanshobby version of Space Warp has better chances than Hasbro doing one.
>>11775899This 100%. Also Grimlock. In the original cartoon he's basically a mentally disabled comic relief character. In any Marvel comic written by Simon Furman, he's an anti-hero badass.
>>11775933Hasbro openly admitted they always struggled with it because of something like a parent walking through the aisle seeing something like car vs plane and the plane would sell more often because "look at how much more of the package it takes up".
>>11775935And when it doesn't sell because yes, it is a shit toy, they'll say>See! No one wants Astrotrain! >I know lets focus on Octane!So I'm looking forward to the future
>>11775945>Everything's coming up Octane!
>>11775940>In the original cartoon he's basically a mentally disabled comic relief character.Only in the movie + S3
>>11775932Love this good boy like you wouldn't believe.
>>11775921Sure, but I mean in person he's even worse. I was like dear gods man, this dude is hideous. I'm very happy to have my DCS version.
Me grimlock teach spergs bad english!
>>11775932Carnivac is a special case as far as integrating the shell goes, because his pretender shell and alt mode are already the same.>Iguanuslizard over a motorcycle>Bomburstvampire bat over a jet>Bludgeonsamurai skeleton over a tank>Carnivacwolf over...uh...a wolfI mean I guess they could have given him a wolf head in robot mode a la Skullgrin and turned him into some dogman-esque creature, but that's skating pretty close to Fangry's altmode.
>>11775954OP is too tall and skinny while this is too short/fatThere needs to be a middle road version
>>11775967Trains don't go on the road, stay on track.
>>11775920Yeah, Aaron Archer did a panel last year about creating Vector Prime and it included a quick sketch of the whole group
>>11775923I just dont like this deco at all. I hope they do powerlinx colors and call it a day.
>>11775976Thank you, this photo is far better quality than a screenshot of his notebook via YT.
Was there another plane/bot that was supposed to go with skyquake (not needlenose, I know about the slots) or shared his deco/colours/design? I know there's a dreadwing version but I could almost swear I remember photos of another hub or something mounted ontop of his jetmode, or like a bigger version of him. I could also be misremembering toy photos completely
>>11775987You're thinking about how Skyquake can connect to Needlenose.
>>11775990I must be, what I had in mind was almost like an elongated skyquake with something like chest hub part riding on the jet mode like dreadwing and smokejumper. Guess im just crazy
>>11775862Technically Prima also predates the Thirteen as he was presented as the first Matrix bearer in the Transformers Marvel comic>>11775976It’s interesting that the “trickster” and Liege were considered two separate Primes at this point
>>11775976Are you saying these were all created the same time as Vector Prime or do I not get what you mean
>>11775923The new Jetfire doesn't do justice to the original so I don't know why you would think that.
>>11776022Amalgamous is also considered a trickster though so it might be an early reference to him.
>>11775827>>11775821just bite the bullethttps://news.tfw2005.com/2025/05/28/dr-wu-dw-e61-brutality-dw-e62-slaughter-g1-slugfest-overkill-color-prototypes-538594#images
>>11775875She'll never return because Marvel owns the rights to her. Not Hasbro
>>11775940I honestly can't stand Furman's Grimlock
>>11775920No? Vector Prime was introduced as a Cybertron/Galaxy guy, there's no 13 primes in that show.
>>11775800They remade Astrotrain for SS, but not Blitzwing
>>11775571Ehh it's not bad but this one fits Comic and other designs so much better to me>>11775601>They appeared so suddenly i see them as some "random new characters"Vector was in Cybertron and it really was his most well established design for a long ass time.Alpha Trion been around since G1 too and even back then they talked about "Prime" as a TitleHonestly I think if you're on the Fence, Aim to grab 1 of each anyways and sit on them then. At least when you change your mind you can flip the entire set for crazy in like 1-2 years i'm sureMost end up like that where they sky rocket for zero reason sometimes>>11775623"I have zero imagination and need everything explicitly told to me"Okay>>11775640"Like Tailgate or that magnet guy"A lot more makes sense now knowing this is some EU sperg>>11775803At least the Toyhax improves it a bit more so it's not so bare. I kinda like him as if he's some science research style vehicle>>11775702Make Slag Great Again>>11775733My true Glup ShittoGlyphNever happening
>>11776073They probably saw how Astrotrain turned out and decided they'd better not even try.
>>117760732019 mold with Siege greebles vs 2022 mold with a toon-accurate robot modeIt's not like they'd actually fix the jet & tank modes with a new mold anyway
>>11776073Blitzwing is already toon accurate.
>>11776073Blitzwing is already good even if the hands are stupid
Was there ever a leak that we were getting a powerlinx repaint of legacy armada optimus? It seems like such a huge missed oppurtunity.
>>11776064Vector Prime was literally created by Aaron Archer the guy who pushed for the 12/13.
>>11776107No according to Jtprime17 they only have the deco made, which doesn't imply a potential release since they have alternate decos and heads made for a lot of molds.
>>11776107I’m hoping if they reissue Armada Optimus they do it similar to how the Megatron reissue was changed into Megazarak instead >>11776111You could literally say that for any deco we have or haven’t gotten. That’s just how the process for redecoes works
>>11775814Roll for that other anon's curiosity about Terrorcon Freezer
>>11775967>There needs to be a middle road versionThat's Transportation Captain IMOI just wish the head wasn't so small.
>>11776075>At least the Toyhax improves it a bit more so it's not so bare.I can't think of another figure that's been saved by 3rd party upgrades as much as Prima has.
what's the best triple/multi-changer toy?
>>11776139Gigatron
>>11776139Depends on what you value in a toy.I really like G1 Astrotrain and Blitzwing but they're very bricky if you like articulation. If you want something super poseable and clean looking a lot of the 3Ps are very good.
>>11776139T30 Springer and Henkei Astrotrain are my favorites
>>11775800shittiest toy of all time
>>11776140This. Devil Ostrich is unmatched.>>11776142Goddamn, without his chest fin pulled up, those bumps sticking out like that just straight up look like tits. The angle of the photo isn't doing him any favors either lmao.
>>11776149That's a mistransformation, but it's also maybe the funniest one ever. I like Tiddytrain.
>>11776027Not wholly "created" but Vector Prime was created with the intent of being part of an ancient legendary group of cybertonians
>>11776073Yeah, Blitzwing dodged a bullet.
>>11775800>favorite glupp shittoFor me it's picrelated.Actually i'm very happy we got even 2 toys of him - that headmaster thing and this one.Now we need a really good Deluxe...
>>11775806Do you prefer the Covenant?
Go-Bots homages continue to creep out, yet Hasbro still refuses to touch Cy-Kill and Leader-1.
>>11776208For me, it's Scrounge.>distinctive weirdo head>distinctive weirdo alt mode>distinctive weirdo speciality (extendo microphone fingers)>never had an accurate toy
>>11776220I feel like people would be disappointed given they wouldn’t get their own molds and would have to be retools
>>11776222If people have accepted that for every other gobo they'll accept that for the leaders.
>Your Leader Class Animated Lugnut, sir
>>11776220You know, a lot of people blame Tonka for killing Mighty Orbots with that lawsuit, but looking at a TV guide from the time really puts into perspective what did them in.
>>11775820ahhh f.h.e...
>>11775879this is so close to a cool mode.. it just needs a few modifications. and I'm not even gonna be an asshole and say YOU CANT HAVE HEAD HALVES AS FEET.. you can, but that isn't how you do it.firstly you'd wanna give him a real actual neck and torso. Then you'd have the neck halves become ankles, the torso halves would slide down over them to make big shins, and there'd be proper-sized non-stubby thighs underneath.
>>11776232I can still hear the noise.
>>11775879When those toys just started appearing in closeout clothing stores like TJ Maxx and the like, I was able to pick up Megatron and Drag Strip, but Overkill just didn't even exist. People wanted that t-rex. Which is funny to me, because that mold is SHIT.
>>11776090his jet mode is a disaster
>>11776144>T30 Springer was amazing
>>11775953makes me want more zoids. and more money to buy them.
>>11776075glyph shitto
>>11775820Either getting the big Unicron toy or getting Animated Soundwave. Wish I didn't give the Unicron away to one of my cousins.
>>11776075Yeah I love the Toyhax for him.I'm someone who is fine with the head being a random G1 guy though
>>11776232Because now you can't hear anything else.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOXL4vKngyw
>>11775879It looks like Xabungle as a dinosaur to me. Does anyone else see it?
>>11776221Is Marvel UK the best old transformer comics? I want to read them but not sure if America was better or not.
>>11776296>xabungleHow do the japs come up with these ridiculous names
>>11776299idunno man, ZA BANGURU sounds pretty cool
>>11776297They're connected, if you read one you really ought to read both. It was a very messy connection, a lot of wires getting crossed trying to keep things consistent across ponds, but that's part of the fun and insanity of Marvel Transformers.
>>11775800Why does it come with a glop of cum
https://news.tfw2005.com/2026/05/02/2027-studio-series-commander-listing-found-86-rodimus-prime-562919Welp.
>>11776305>>11776306Isn't this genuinely like the third or fourth one in a year?
>>11776308No, those were Hot Rods. The last time we got Rodimus was Kingdom.But hey, I save some cash.
>>11776299They don't speak English
>>11776310Rodimus is just Hot Rod with a trailer.
>>11776229What do those numbers represent?
>>11776299It's an action comedy show, so the robot is named "The Bungle" because things keep getting messed up.
>>11776312>>11776310There's two types of Transformers fans
>>11776312Basically. Wouldn't be surprised if this is just a redeco of the Kingdom toy.
>>11776299they ran out of good ones because they gave us every potential awesome name for like 40 yearsa
bayverse zoomers in shamblescan’t wait to watch TFHypeGuy’s meltdown on twitter
I don't care about G1 or Bayverse, I just want cool toys
Hasbro really hates the High Moon games huh.There's just... nothing.
>>11776325Why, because Rodimus is taking a spot? If anyone really thought 86 and 87 wouldn't be overstuffed with 86 toys they need their head checked.
I just wanted a Commander Class Thunderwing
Now I'm wary of any ebay exclusive kits I see after the Alchemist Prime one ended up being so bad
>>11776330I like that idea. I like you.
>>11776315That actually makes perfect sense>>11776325??
>>11776330Damn baby I would love the fuck out of that, you're smart, you should be working for Hasbro
>>11776329Um...26 and 27. Yeah. Got my numbers mixed up.
>>11776331Throwing on extra garbage won't magically turn this into a good toy.
>>11776338Sorry I was just posting that as an example of one that's sold on ebay and not like TfSafari
>>11776305I'm sure this won't be an embarrassingly terrible downgrade like Astrotrain... right?
>>11776305Damn it, I just want an all-in-one leader.
>>11776344Can't be any more embarrassing than Style Gen Hot Rod.
>>11776331that looks pretty fucking cool, it's just not really what this guy needed.. needed more joints and stuff.
>>11776305So 2027>Age of Evolution Commander ????>Generation Selects Titan Energon Tidal Wave>Studio Series 86 Commander Rodimus Prime>Studio Series Titan Bayverse Dinobot ???It sucks they're redoing a Commander already (and they are redoing, Evan said just last year a SS86 Rodimus would be a new mold). 2 AoE Commanders would have been ideal.
>>11776330Imagine how many cool commanders we could have by now if we weren't in frameslop he'll.
>>11776354Commander is basically being held hostage by frameslop and 86slop.It sucks.
>>11776352oooh Scorn maybe?if they can figure out the legs... unlike their recent grimlock..
I think frames are worth the final product
>>11776352Gimmie Thunderwing
>>11775827Well they were 1987 toys getting a cameo in the 1986 season.
>>11776331They fucked up this one by making it lack detail so it clashes with the rest of the design
>>11776369as long as the frame has at least one legit other mode, and ideally two.
>>11776372Oh
>>11775937Still waiting on Sky Lynx:Big Purple Griffin
>>11776372ehh that works for me, but I would definitely want to add custom paint.My main issue with shit like this is it's wayyy too expensive. I've already overpaid on the figure, I want to blow 8-9 bucks max to improve it.
>>11776377I just got this for him, the joints >>11776372 here are too ugly for me personally
>>11776378oh man, I got confused here and thought he had spindly diddly alien arms for diddling. Can you see what I mean?
>>11776376I'll always believe that not making the Nemesis's robot mode the Big Purple Griffin was a massive missed opportunity
>>11776369It doesn't even look good though, aside from the torso, which even still looks awkwardly blocky with the chest crest cropped to fit
>>11776386there's a weirdly large amount of fucking love handles in recent transformers, and I am not lovin' it.
>>11776312>>11776317A new Rodimus would only be interesting if they could make it go from robot to Winnebago. There's only been like 3 toys to do that, and one of them was a kids toy.
>>11776397All Transformers are kids toys.
>>11776369I still think shoulder Shockwave is an awesome play feature.
>>11776369yeah, frames may add a bunch of partsforming, but at least they make the combined mode look like total dogshit
>>11776312AND a frown
>>11776329No, people were genuinely expecting more bayverse toys since it's the first movie's 20th anniversary.Pretty crazy how much the bayverse has fallen in Hasbro's consideration that even its anniversary doesn't take precedence over G1.
>>11776410The fuck?
>>11776402>combined mode look like total dogshitNo, that's the old toy
>>11776417Looks like a robot made from robots to me, very cool.
>>11776398you 100% knew what he meant
My small FCBD haul
>>11776423That scourge is fucking awesome. I loved those giant missiles so much. I never had them on that mold only Laser Prime. And I dont think I ever had a Scourge. He has the sickest goddamn colourscheme. Whoever thought of adding teal has good taste.
>>11776425i agree but I prefer the teal to be used quite sparinglyI think it becomes garish sometimes. Or if you're gonna use a lot of it, then dial down the red.
>>11776425The big missile... kinda still worksJust a bit
>>11776301This is why I always give up before I even begin getting into comics. But this sounds especially fucked.
>>11776397I don't understand why people keep asking for that, all it'll result in is a compromised robot with less play features, at commander price no less.
Jeezus the light piping on this guy
>>11776429It's really not.>Marvel US wrote Transformers 1-80>Marvel UK wrote more stories in and out of the same continuity
>>11776429NTA, but I don't think the continuity issues are really that bad. I just kind of shrug whenever I notice them cropping up, but maybe that's just the trained response from years of reading superhero comics. 'Nothing makes sense, nothing matters' is a philosophy you have to learn to embrace with that stuff if you're going to be into into it and maintain your sanity.
status update on star eaglei had to use fumaceous lacquer paint, but i've managed to get the top side of the eagle mode the same cool clear coated deep blue of her other dark blue parts. Looks super nice.
>>11776449Pic?
>>11776433see? TASTEFUL use of teal.. nice trim. doesn't clash with the small amounts of red and purple at all.now look at this garish monke
>>11776433Cat piping
I preordered Cyclonus. Is SS86 Scourge worth getting with him?
>>11776459>AotP Star Convoy gets a Nemesis redeco before SS86 Optimus
>>11776460I was extremely confused at this for a while until I realized what it was.
>>11776459What the FUCK>>11776460Who?
>>11776460>Missing Link Ironhide isn't an abomination that should not beWhat the FUCK
>>11776459>>11776463God damn what lunatic lore is Sakamoto going to come up with for a Nemesis Star Convoy? I bet Devil Z will be involved somehow
>>11776470Based on the last chapter, it might just be a new body for the Nemesis. Which would make it a fembot.
>>11776454white needs another coat, and I'm still gonna add some metallic red on the robot mode (and I think a little white on the robot head) but here we are so faralso featuring skywarp with a proper bald eagle tail, so they can be patriot bros.
>>11776474

>>11776476yeah :DI didn't paint the underside of the wings, but I could have done that triangle pattern I suppose.. I think this is fine. plus I don't want the joints bending and exposing the wrong color. looks cheap.

>>11775814Rolling for Freezer
>>11776459I’m shocked they didn’t do Gigastorm or Dark Guardian before Star Nemesis
>>11776480It's probably fine, show it off to the class anyway though anon
>>11776487I will! Right now the feet are drying (gonna take at least 2 coats of yellow but by total coincidence, I have EXACTLY the right color of white and yellow to match this guy) then i'll add the black talons, I didn't show it but I also painted white on the underside of the head, where the joint is inexplicably blue.the question is gonna be precisely where to add metallic red in robot mode. I'm thinking thigh-fronts, the circles on the outsides of the shoulders, and the 'belt buckle' which is conspicuously UNpainted dark blue plastic unlike most of the figure.(also underside of the for that, Ima use silver paint with clear red on top of it. should look great.
>>11776490whoops Candlejack got meunderside of the brow, which looks weird in unpainted dull silver. looked a lot better on airazor where that plastic color was dark
>>11775806only primes I give a fuck about are optimus, rodimus, and sentinel

>>11776460Maybe the head is on the sled? So that way when it's off like the original toy the body looks like the original toy.
>>11776508>No, the guys Primus made as a test run.>https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Covenant_(group)gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayI don't care about pre-war Cybertron apart from some scene-setting. Autobots/Decepticons is the part that matters.
>>11776460He still has a hole in his crotch so you can plug in his dick-gun. All is right in the world - even if it's weird that he has an actual head.
>>11776417>There are people who unironically like CWHoly shit it looks so bad.
>>11776464Yes they go together well
>>11776532people really tried to gaslight me into thinking CW Superion was better than AOTP Superion because "muh frame"
I agree! I can't wait to purchase <PRODUCT>If you don't like <PRODUCT> then you're not a real fan
>>11776433I like how you manifested Nemesis Star Convoy
>>11776460Is the head in the sled or is it build in to the face

>>11776602Waiting on ML Superion
The truth is that g1 toon combiners just suck and shouldnt be the goal, but they always will be. Car Robots did it better.
>>11776583>>11776586On the contrary it seems like it's harder to get now. I see sites like Amazon trying to scalp him for over MSRP closer to $200. BBTS was the only one selling him at MSRP when I got him a few months ago.

The Energon Superion is better even than the frame slop
>>11776570Not related at all to what I was posting. With Arcee (unreleased prototype) and now Ironhide (a what if upgrade to his toy to look like a proper transformers) means we can now get wild stuff, like one of the PMOP prototypes (I think the one with a plane has a high chance of happening), Unicron Neo, Classics Cosmos, etc...
>Dragstrip is a good toy>Motormaster is a very good toy>then THE THREE SHITTERS arrivedAt least with Bruticus you’re buying 4 okay toys instead of 3 that honestly just aren’t good
>>11776628Honestly Brakedown became my favorite of the group almost. Idk what it is. He just feels good to mess with
>>11776625The energon combiners with the fansproject kits are still absolutely rad.
>>11776625>Empty legs that look almost no different at all if you DON'T drop $28+ each + Tax + Tip for 2 deluxes you barely even see when combinedevery combiner looks incomplete if you’re missing part of the team >talking shit about aotps hands when you upgraded cws worse handshardly seems fair
>>11776625oh and one more thing, the aotps pose mogs the cw, you made it look cooler than it actually is even with the incomplete leg
>>11776625Anyone can do a size comparison between an Energon Combiner, a CW Combiner and a Frame Combiner? I'm curious how small the Energon Combiners are compared to the others.
>>11776221Also he's pretty memorable in the story he's in.
>>11776297Put it this way: late Marvel US was written by Simon Furman - the exact same guy who wrote most of Marvel UK.In general though the UK Marvel comics are generally of a higher standard. Some of the Marvel US stories are great. The story Scrounge is in is from Marvel US and is easily one of the best transformers comic stories out there. But at the same time Marvel US put out a lot dogshit.
>>11776635>>11776637This is just cope>>11776642Energon with kit is pretty solid but the kits insanely hard to track down
>>11776649>But I've been drinking my milk!
>>11776651He's tryingProb my favorite combination by giving him EVA ass ShouldersStill mad I missed his kit popping up on Manda for like 4-5k range maybe 2 weeks ago
>>11776647>late Marvel US was written by Simon Furman - the exact same guy who wrote most of Marvel UK.I've been reading the second US compendium and the jump in quality when Furman starts writing is immediately noticeable and pretty impressive, storylines and characters are way more developed and the tone makes me think of a dramatic theatrical play in a good way.Already have the first UK compendium and I expect it to be as good.
>>11776649Thank you anon, I've always wondered how they could make an updated Energon Combiner in modern times. HasTak can definitely keep the Energon Combiners smaller than the G1 combiners and keep the Scramble gimmick without relying on a frame, make them Leader Class tall when combined.
>>11776671Frame slop is the new future sadly
>>11776672Frame slow is slop the slop new slop future slop sadly slop
>>11776672Looks good.
>>11776672Only for the big ones like pretty much most if not all G1 Combiners. Smaller combiners don't need a frame, Volcanicus and subsequently Dinoking and Monstructor didn't need a frame. An Energon Combiner that can only stand as tall as the tallest Leader Class toy like Liege for example won't need a frame.
>>11776532I still remember when people in this general tried gaslighting everyone else into thinking this shit was good. Now nobody talks about Prime Wars anymore.>>11776402You're right, they do make the combined mode look like dogshit. Yes the old one sucked but this really doesn't seem much better beyond the Brawl that isn't godawful
>>11776672Stability and uncompromised limb bots >>> B-but they don't actually combine!
>>11776649>Energon with kit is pretty solid but the kits insanely hard to track downNah not really, the kits give him actual arms and better feet, but don't fix the loose torso transformation.
>Frames vs CW againI just don't care about the G1 combiners anymore. Most of them never did anything interesting and the cartoon models for them were ugly as sin. The G1 toys were cool but they were also small and simple.I am collecting the Combaticons but I dunno if I'll combine them much, the individuals are great so far at least.SS86 Devastator is great though, some weird choices aside like the limited elbows. I don't even mind the hips 'cuz they form a trailer and the rest of him is proper combining.
I will now buy your train
>>11776702>I just don't care about the G1 combiners anymoreReally?I think G1 combiner designs are greatI have no idea why anyone thinks either of those toys are any good
>>11776705They're great designs (at least conceptually) but I think Hasbro are incapable of doing them well at CHUG scale on retail budget.
>>11776705>I think G1 combiner designs are greatAre there modern combiners? All i know is just that bay-movie Devastator.Otherwise all other combiners are G1 (or at least "vintage combiners").Sure Bruticus and even Dinobots had combiners in the 00s-10s but all of them suck major ass....
>>11776710I don't understand why they don't copy some of the things China is doingI know a lot of people dislike frames but I'm an advocate for at least fake hips
>>11776704I will now buy your Armada Optimus
>>11776714Man, female transformers really are always shellformers
>>11776704They're not getting those colours on the torso unless they pack in some stickers.
>>11776139One of my favorites is Earthrise Snapdragon. A robot, a Godzilla, and a cool spaceship that the headmaster can pilot, so rad. The corresponding Apeface is also fun but had some issues
>>11776139I always liked Octane

Please don't refresh the Galvatron moldPlease don't refresh the Galvatron mold
Tired of Hot Rod's unsightly butthole?Well now you can cover that shit up!
>>11776826>Tired of Hot Rod's unsightly butthole?Not even remotely
>>11775821Never sadly. Hasbro doesn't want to make a dedicated cassette mold for each of them and they pretty much killed the Classic era gimmick of simply recoloring Grimlock toys in Overkill colors and calling it a day, due to fan backlash and we only got a Squeezeplay repaint of Overkill because they HAD to recolor the mold to justify it's creation. And while we do have a stegosaurus mold now for Slugfest in the form of the Snarl POTP mold, it's never going to happen because of the backlash against doing such lazy repaints for them.
>>11776684just buy a statue.
>>11776672The last frame will be Hot Spot, then it's over.
>>11776867>You want a combiner that is solid and can actually be posed instead of being a rickety mess? Then buy a statue!
>>11776874Until they decide to remake Computron, Abominus and Piranahcon/King Poseidon/God NeptuneYou should know better, it never ends.
>>11776893Nobody cares enough about those, we just got takara sets of them a few years back and the reception was meh

>trashtrotrain>repaintwingSo uh... how does studio series recover from this realistically
>>11776925They wont ever take notes from china because 3Ps dont have to worry about pricepoint budget or having actually good transformations instead of a million gay panels like a pride event

>>11776927doesn't have to because loser haters like you and tftwt are a minoirty
One of these toys is pretty cool for what it is, and the other is embarrassingly shit. The answer may not surprise you!

>>11776874They already said they want to redo every combiner with the system.
>>11776712seriouslyand I don't just mean copy their techniques, I mean steal from the companies. They don't respect property rights over there, everything is up for grabs. They can copy your shit, you can copy theirs.
>>11776765RAWKET lawnchair!>>11776826I don't get an opportunity to use this on /toy/ very often
>>11776968it looks to me like he could, he'd just need to bend his knees and unbend his elbows
It always annoys me that people claim frames are inherently more stable as if they're not comparing sets of modern constantly price-hiked commanders, "voyagers" and deluxes to sets of deluxes and a voyager from when we were just coming out of the greatest budget collapse the franchise had ever seen.
>>11776925>Your average slop drunkardJust because I enjoy toys that are solid and fun to play with?>>11776896>you want a combiner that is actually a combinerI don't give a damn what you consider an actual combiner. CW ones are wonky shit with bad proportions, stability problems, ugly thighs-as-elbows nonsense, and need 3rd party crap to not be total shit. Also the individual figures suck.I'm not saying the new combiners are perfect, but they clearly are better toys. You guys have your idea of what a true combiner really is so up your ass you can't see anything else. Guess what? Transformers combiners have sucked since day one. Tons of partsforming with hands, feet, chests and heads. As combining robot designs go their transformations have always been pretty ass. But at the very least on the new ones all the partsforming actually makes for a solid figure and you don't end up with a bunch of unusable junk in alt mode or the shittiest hand/feet "weapons" imaginable.
>>11776983>were just coming out ofuhh
>>11776955WASSSSPINATORRRR MOTORRRRBIKE
>>11776985>Transformers combiners have sucked since day one.your true statement made me angry

>>11776990it's quite fitting, isn't it
>>11776985shut up Ninja Consultant
>>11776993>The Irony saying this with a Sixshot Image whos the most well known brickThat image is from the cartoon, not of the toyI hope this helps :)
>>11776955Armada toys were always an embarrassment. Thank God for Alternators.
Instead of buying the next frame combiner, grab these little guys off ebay.
>>11776955>pretty cool>armadakill yourself zoomer revisionist
>Find a Dead End at a local Comic shop>He ALSO has the trunk issue>Look shit up on google and some youtube reviews>EVERYBODY seems to have the same issue>Even the G2Okay so Dead End is just fucked in the feet/back trunk right?
>>11776961>>11776968>>11776990So, as far as the armada toy goes, he's got all the articulation of a brick, BUT he's a very charming brick. No part tolerance issues, the minicon mirror has tons of range in his limbs, and requires absolutely ZERO parts forming to function.The Age of the primes release definitely beats the original in terms of articulation, but as far as the construction goes, it is severely lacking. Two main components are faulty friction fits that pop off as soon as you handle them, and the minicon ALSO has a friction fit for the gray face panel(?) the pops off at the drop of a pin. While the concept is cool, it felt like they had an intern model this character off of the original toy, with absolutely zero lessons learned.
>>11777019Looks considerably better than new shit too and doesn't have QC issues lol
>>11777017Yeah it's the molds problem
>>11777011>$60 for two legends classno thanks
>>11777019I hate the new one's saggy tits and flat feet.
>>11777019The old ones feet can slide in for bot mode. Also the seperated minicons can double ride the bike mode which is really dumb but dude.
>>11777019>>11777021>>11777025>>11777027Yeah... There's about a whole NOTHING here in terms of grip for a friction fit. The other side of this hinge is pinned, why isn't this side? There's no nubs. There's quite literally NOTHING THERE!
>>11777029Same thing with mirror's faceplate... There are no nubs, and I must scream :(
>>11777027After all these years, I didn't know this
>>11777029>>11777039Christ
>>11777040If you think that's bad, I owned Sideways for over a decade before I realized that the minicons had little plates covering up the faces. All that time I'd just thought they were lazy and didn't bother painting eyes on them.
>>11777040Hah.Sideways.
>>11777011>MASSIVE THIGHS AND TINY THIGHS, COMBINE FORCES TO BECOME... just... kinda weird thighs that stop being skinny halfway down.
>>11777024Two legends that combine is basically a voyager by today's standards!
>>11777029>>11777039understand prease must save money on plastic, evil war's fault, not ours
>>11777011Prime Wars really was such a goated line
>>11777058At first I was sort of annoyed that Battletrap got turned into two little guys instead of being a regular Duocon, now I wish that Flywheels did the same thing and became two legends too.
>>11777063I always appreciated the attempt at making "new" "G1" characters. Definitely a shame Flywheels/Skytread didn't get the same treatment.
Who's your favorite toy-only Transformer?
>>11777080I got that guy for $5 at a Family Dollar back when they used to stock real transformers and not those evergreen crap ones.I nominate Stockade, Hailstorm, Terradive, Wreckage, Breacher, and DeadLift.
>>11777051Lmao
>>11777011I appreciate the idea behind POTP Battletrap but ultimately Siege Flywheels was better.
>>11777080HFTD had some of the best toy-only characters IMO. Hubcap, Tomahawk and Hailstorm were all great but Terradive is my absolute favourite.He looks amazing in both modes and the transformation is so unique. He might just be the best deluxe class figure ever.
>>11776985>You guys have your idea of what a true combiner really is.you mean something that is an actual combination instead of a bunch of guys hanging off a completely separate frame.Like I said, just buy a statue.
>>11776970so now every commander class is going to be some combiner asshole for the next ten years?
>>11777011It's fucked that this guy didn't come with his weapon.
Really mixed feelings on this one. Starting with the positive.The design of Sideways himself on paper works really well. The transformation is smooth and easy, the updated aesthetics really work for me, the proportions are a bit boxy but not in a bad way, and the poseability is a massive upgrade. Just looking at him makes me want to play with him, hes very cool looking.Unfortunately its downhill from there. The bike suffers from the new robot proportions, fatter backend and looses that smooth curve from the shoulders at the front.The quality control is completely out of whack. Its red alerts arms all over again but every fucking joint. It hurts my fingers after a while trying to play with him. And the stiffness of all the joints exacerbates the glaring lack of pins in tons of key spots. Are we so cheap we cant even afford pins anymore? Ive had multiple bits pop off when playing because the friction of trying to articulate him is too strong for the super shallow pegs. I expect the majority of this guy on ebay to be missing pieces within a few years.Also the pipes are frustrating, the waffling underneath looks like shit, they used a clear plastic mold for the windscreen and didnt use it for the pipes to match the og, and they didnt even bother molding blast effect holes/nubs at the end for rocket boost bike fun.And then this fucking minicon. His one good quality is decent face paint, everything else is trash. The parts forming is pathetic. He lacks the sliding masks so the faces are always showing, the grey ones face mode just looks like ass cheeks, and hes completely lacking in paint apps on the faces. Thankfully ive always liked the regular robot head on Sideways so its not a huge loss, might just grab an old version to use as a rider instead.I went in feeling cautiously optimistic but in hand this is 6.5/10 at best
>>11777019>>11777040Since you have both new and old, how does the old Mini-Cons as heads look like attached to the new Sideways toy?
>Walmart cancelled my Powerglide preorderMother. FUCKER. They did the same damn thing with Outback! The hell is even the point of letting people put in a preorder if you have no intention of honoring it!?So glad I grabbed Star Eagle from Pulse instead - I never would have gotten her otherwise.
How many examples have there been of Hastak preemptively making a product redundant? I remember when DOTM was coming out and I looked at picrel and asked, "I basically already own the new Bee, so what's the point?" I still bought DOTM Bee though as I had a problem back then.
>>11777104It was a good era for OCs
>>11777145They made so many fucking Bumblebees. The hives. The HIVES, anon.
>>11777127Pretty good honestly
Haslab Toonicron mold refresh soon, right?
>>11777127Sideways photos
>>11777154>>11777156That is surprisingly well proportioned, they don't look like bobbleheads on the new Sideways. Dare I say they look better than the updated Rook and Crosswise in all modes but especially the head. Sigh, guess I have to go and track down the old Mini-Cons to display him like that.
>>11776431Animation accuracy, Rodimus's transformation in the cartoon had the whole alltmode form the body.
>>11777128Walmart fucking up an order? I'M SHOCKED!
>>11777122shame, I've got no attachment to the character but thought the concept and design was cool.
The half-assed Mirror really didn't justify the class-bump. Red alert being a Voyager and not including his Mini-Con was also really dumb, guess they figured voyager thighs=voyager price.
>>11776712Ain't that basically what haslab liokaiser did?
>>11777156Sideways is sideways
>>11776712It might be a company pride thing. I can see a CEO being spiteful like that. Even if itd still he spiteful in another way lol.
I havent bought any new Transformers in awhile but I sort of follow news casually. I think I'm going go for Nemesis Star Convoy. But what was the subline of base guys that could attach to them and are they hard fo find now? I vaguely remember him having an attachment for it but I completely stopped paying attention after fossilizers. I kinda regret it I had no idea they were going to do Star Convoy. And I resisted buying the new one but I cant anymore Scourge/Nemesis repaints are do cool and I don't think I've ever even owned one before despite growing up with BW, BM, RiD and UT.
>>11777163Not always. I think it's about time though that Takara has another go at an all-in-one Rodimus transformation.
>>11777182I forgot a thought in my ramble. I always wanted a Star Convoy. I bought the reissue but its stickers was ruined and its 75 dollars in my currency for toyhax replacements so I was too disappointed to ever take him out of the box. I really wanted the new one but resisted it till now
>>11777182i think youre referring to the "air lock" system?https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Air_Lock_Systemthey did a ton of those in the war for cybertron trilogy that made little bases and i think theyve mostly kept it for figures who form base modes
>>11776397I want them to do the firetruck one they never made. Actually I've wanted them to do unused concepts ever since MotU started doing it.
>>11777186Yes thanks
>>11777153I'm partially at fault for that. Off the top of my head, I owned:>The Legacy of Bumblebee (Classics, Animated, Premium)>Legends (2007)>Legends Battle Damaged>Robot Replicas (2007)>Ultimate (2007)>Burger King (2007)>Basic Fun Keychain (2007)>Activator (Animated)>Patrol Activator>Legends (ROTF)>Cannon>Robot Replicas (ROTF)>Alliance>Human Alliance>Burger King (ROTF)>McDonald's (ROTF)>Track Set (RPM)>Battle Ops>Crash Landing Attack>Cyberverse (DOTM)>Deluxe (DOTM)>Cyberfire>Scan Series>Leader (DOTM)>Kre-O (Small)>First Edition>McDonald's Robot (Prime)
>>11777184In the movie, which is ostensibly what SS86 is supposed to be based on, he does.
>>11777190This is the only Bumblebee I have ever owned.
>>11777194Aw shit, missed one.
>>11777195...And this one.
>>11777167I'm glad they didnt fuck up red alert by inserting a minicon into the budget actually
>>11777182Hoping SkyGarry and Grandus are the next Haslab TF campaign.
>>11777204
>>11777080I already posted a lot of beast wars when someone asked for glup shittos last thread so King Atlas.
>>11777104I still love Breakaway because of the old memes we had. the one I own melted though because I stored him with Bludgeon (also awesome) with those melting tank treads. And it just melted spots in breakaway.
>>11777246That's rough, my RotF Bludgeon never had that problem and he's been in and out of bins ever since I got him. Now I wanna see your Breakaway to see if the melted spots could be turned into sick battle damage or something.
>>11777248i worry because mine is near an HVAC vent, but I almost never open it for the heat, so
>>11777080Breacher is pretty high up there for me.
>>11777279Breacher was great. Second best scout of that era, after Skystalker IMO.
well, clear red over gunmental did not match her red parts, so I had to try again with gunmetal-mixed-with-darkened-red and THEN put clear red over it. That worked a treat. then I touched it and smudged it. I have the stupid-hands this week.anyway she turned out okay. couple areas where I swear the paint was a lot more even yesterday than it is now, but unless someone puts out toyhax with stars or something, I think she's ready for the shelf now(the shelf is full so she's resting on OpOp's arm like a good bird)
>>11777293AMERICA!!!!!
>>11777299FUCK YEAH!!!
>>11777299>>11777300and to think, I was gonna paint over the red and just make this an all-blues kinda birb. maybe turn the beak gray to match the feet..naw fuck that. Merica.Hmm I don't suppose that Dinobot upgrade kit with the big-ass assault rifle and ammo belts is still around.. gotta be sold out or rape-tier secondary prices by this point.
>>11777188Gotta wait for an Inferno/Grapple first
>>11777019This figure blowing is the death knell for me buying TF, sadly. The one figure/concept I loved the most completely botched from a modern design standpoint, and at ridiculous pricing.
>>11777305>Gotta wait for an Inferno/Grapple first???
>>11777317The only thing that pisses me off about this mold is the vehicle mode arm is too short
>>11777293I just got my Merica Birb. She's standing on my desk, representing FREEDOM
>>11777317This image is fake because the Art Fire isn't disgusting brown like every other one
>>11777316it hurts, right? I was so excited for scorponok, my first beast wars guy, getting redone as an anatomically proper scorpion, but they botched so many things...I still bought every use of the mold, but at sharp discounts after the original, and didn't bother with takara (gave my original extensive repainting instead)>>11777330aint she just majestic?
>>11777333
>>11777356so nice.not sure I ever noticed before how that eagle's drawn with two left feet and its tail is somehow overlapping the log it's sitting on, but.. King of the Hill was trying. and that was a funny episode. Having Dale go from a rabid paranoid-of-government guy to a rabid government lapdog that reports people.. horseshoeing at its finest.
>>11777317Wish this mold would've been retooled into Tow-Line instead of that junkion.
>>11777317>Artfire hasn't yellowed to shit.Fucking how?
>86 deluxes and leaders are already out>Only one I want from this wave is Shockwave
>>11777118>Like I said, just buy a statue.The whole point of the frame is that it makes for better action figures, dumdum. Why would I need an unposeable statue when I got combiners that actually feel good to pose?If you dislike the new ones do much just play with your CW toys instead of wasting time seething over frames.
>>11777473NTA but honestly both suck. CW has weak ratchets and need upgrades, frames look hideously ugly and aren't even real combiners. There aren't any good official Scramble City team combiner toys yet.
>>11777473because it's not a combiner.you just want an action figure, not a transformer. go buy some ReAction guys.
Newest combiner just got leaked
>>11777501Is that a unique version of getter?
Anons want to laugh at me? Want to make fun of me and point at me while doing that?duuuh of course you do.Anways:>have transformers lying in a "G1-toy box">start to collect blokees>display my favorite blokees and put other blokees in smaller blokees boxes inside g1-toy box>...>probably i took one of the boxes (with wheeljack car/robot+some of guns) and put it on the side>last week i was tired and exausted but still decided to clean my house>was just taking and throwing some stuff right away>today: umm....wait...where is that other Blokees-box??I think i might actually threw that away....no fucking way... I can't believe this.At least it just had Wheeljack (and his car mode and some guns) inside... oh wellI threw out several Blockees boxes because I didn't want to throw them away because they were shiny and pretty. I adore their box designs.But over time, it turned into some kind of hoarding, and I decided to throw them all away.Have you ever thrown away toys by mistake?
>>11777509Sir, this is an 18+ site. Judging by your actions and your grammar you are clearly some sort of small child or at the very least a very unfortunate tween.
>>11777499>you just want an action figure, not a transformer. Wrong, I transform these a lot. Stop trying to force your nonsense on me.>because it's not a combiner.Again, I don't give a shit what you consider a combiner. You're so mindbroken by a toy transforming in a way you don't like you can't even form coherent thoughts. Stop being so autistic over this and go enjoy your CW combiners, the good thing about this brand is that you actually have choices.>>11777475>CW has weak ratchets and need upgrades, frames look hideously ugly and aren't even real combinersSee the difference here? The problems you wrote about CW are objective things that make for a bad toy, meanwhile the frames looking bad is just a matter of taste, and the "no real combiner" shit is just whatever word you want to apply to these. If the G1 combiners always used frames all of you would find the new ones normal and call them combiners no problem. That's how silly your "no combiner" thing is.
>>11777512Zoomoi bitch please. nobody cares about G1 stuff besides 40+ people.In other words - here is your cheap (you)
>>11777515What the fuck are you babbling about, where's your handler?
>>11777514now, who's seething?
>attach everyone to the frame5 things became one thing, they combined
>>11777523You're goddamn right.
>>11777517Anon why are you mad over nothing...I'm the one who lost a few figurines, not you. I should be buttblasted, not you...PS:checked my "blokees empty boxes box" (yes i had another box filled with these).Damn... it seems that i actually threw Wheeljack away with that defender box...
>>11777537Don't they weigh anything? I know when I pick something up and it's heavier than I expect, I investigate further.
>>11777537I'm mocking you for your poorly written posts anon.
>>11775806The whole thing with primus and unicron and the thirteen is a very bog standard creation myth. There's some number of original beings, they create a bunch of shit, they have some disagreements, blah blah blah all gone now. I totally prefer the classic origin story where they were built by the quintuplets and rebelled.>>11777153For all the bayverse bees out there I'd think I'd be able to find one that satisfies me but the search continues.
>>11777554>I'm mocking you for your poorly written posts anon.No problem anon, after all i was asking for it.>>11777540>Don't they weigh anything?I have no idea really... i was tired and i guess i just didn't feel anything - just took it and threw in the bag with other empty Defender boxes.
