Are you happy that Chadimus Prime is going to be next year’s Commander? Or are you a zoomer who wanted a Bayverse slop glup shitto who appeared in the background for half a second?Previous:>>11775800
HFGs were based actually
>Or are you a zoomer who wanted a Bayverse slop glup shitto who appeared in the background for half a second?Shots getting fired right out the gate with this thread. Can't say I disagree at all with the sentiment though.
Commanders are too big. Alice would be the ex-Core class, so I guess that would mean she'd be packaged with something else as a Deluxe.
>>11778100Rodimus has actual fans? Huh, learn something every day.
>>11778100>glup shittoIs this the new buzzword of the month?
>>11778129I always thought he was a good idea done wrong.
>>11778100Don't care about Rodimus, I can't think of a single bay that would warrant commander. I wish they gave mainline 2 commanders instead.
>>11778100So will SS86 Rodimus just be Kingdom Rodimus (maybe with some improvements) or a new mold?
>>11778145We dont know but I think It will be kingdom retooled since they seem to be phoning it in on SS
>>11778144Repaint of the Titans Return
Is that new studio series soundwave out yet? My desk needs some variety of decepticon superiority.
>>11778140No, it was flavor many months ago.
>tryptikek couldnt kill titan class>tidal flop couldnt kill titan classAt this rate only CEO class Chris Cocks could do it
>>11778140I love glup shitto's and I will defend their honor to my dying breath.>>11778141And this. It feels earned and satisfying when he claims the mantle of Prime in The Movie. Then he spends the entirety of S3 whining about how much he hates it and actively tries to shirk his responsibilities whenever the opportunity presents itself.
>>11778100I really want a new improved attempt at "evolution" Rodimus. It's not gonna happen though unfortunately
>>11778167Same, clearly the right way to handle the character even if they haven't quite nailed it yet.
>>11778167I want an Energon Rodimus. Truck with rocket was cool.
>optimus and rodimus get 2 commanders in the same decadeMagnus is next, idk which one it will be
>>11778205Guessing the next Magnus would be a mainline figure with the armor gimmick, hopefully a modified 86 optimus with armor.
>>11778100I unironically would have been more likely to buy an actual life-size Oreobot than *another* Commander class Rodimus Prime.
>>11778211I really like SS86 Magnus, but I'd gladly pick up another to finally get the white SS86 redeco.
>>11778223I remember hearing somewhere that Takara wanted to a retool of 86 Magnus with an inner robot. Let's see which one they end up doing first.
>>11778195Hell yeah, that was such a cool design.
>>11778100I have enough Rodimuses (Rodimi?) I really wish the Commander slot went to someone else.
>>11778113They're doing an Alice?
He needs a CHUG
>>11778100>Or are you a zoomer who wanted a Bayverse slop glup shittoThat's an awful lot of buzzwords to fit into one sentence.
>>11778100I would ask if they are retarded but I know the answer.All in one I could get for fun but slight remold? No
>>11778275what's wrong with the first Commander Rodimus (other than being somewhat slight for a Commander class)?
>>11778276Nothing, he's good
>>11778100Only 3rd party stuff matters anymore.Hasbro are a fucking joke with their prices now. 100+ for a voyager with hollowed out arms, legs, head and waist. Always missing shit so you then need to spend an extra 60-100 on a kit just to fix Hasbros mess. No option to buy the superior Takara version anymore that would fix these issues.The RARE instance you can seems limited now (Down syndrome lio convoy).For the price you end up paying in the end you might as well just buy masterpiece
>>11778286where the hell do you live where voyagers are $100 and 3rd party toys are a better deal?
>>11778266No. She is nobody.
>>11778286>>11778298He's right that Hasbro is way too expensive now for what you get, but 3rd party isn't better. You pay even more and the quality is totally up in the air, between a decent figure and something that flies apart as soon as you take it out of the box.Even worse, 3rd party people insist on mostly doing the same guys Hasbro does. You want a character Hasbro won't touch, good luck, they're on their umpteenth version of Devastator.
>>11778267We need more Pretenders in general.Throw in some action masters too.
>>11778312Nobody (3P, Hastak or even Funpub) wants to take a risk on "glup shitto" characters unless it's a very limited exclusive run and redeco or reuse of an existing mold.
>>11778316I want them all.>>11778266If you want a preview of SS Alive look no further than the Animorphs crossover line.
>>11778298>where the hell do you live where voyagers are $100This is the standard rrp for most voyagers from hasbro now anon. When was the last time you went to a store?Fuck even the studio series dinobots cost more than 100 and are shorter than what a voyager should be.
>>11778332>When was the last time you went to a store?Nta but 6 months ago, and I got SS86 Megatron for $55. What are you talking about?
>>11778332What the fuck are you even talking about? Voyagers aren't 100 bucks. The 86 dinobots are Leader Class and way bigger than modern Voyagers, and aren't 100 either. Are you on drugs or something?
>>11778129Hot Rod is one of the coolest G1 designs. Rodimus' altmode grows on you, I always see boomers call it a "winnebago" but from what I see, Winnebagos don't have giant exhausts sticking out or a cab that's a concept sportscar
>>11778099You know what you're right, it's one of the few Megatrons I've had that doesn't suck to transform and I should give it more credit for that.
>>11778335>you mean to tell me people post outlandish shit they know full well isn't true just for attention?>on MY 4chan?!Best just to ignore retards like that anon, there's no discourse to be had here.
>>11778100Oh shit, alright then. I was thinking of getting either Kingdom or POTP Rodimus but I might as well wait and see how this turns out.
>>11778100>Or are you a zoomer who wanted a Bayverse slop glup shitto who appeared in the background for half a second?Hi can I get uhhhhhhhh really big Demolishor?
>>11778342I want ANY Demolishor. It's crazy that he hasn't gotten an SS yet.
>>11778317please shut the fuck up, (you) farmer.
>>11778342Repaint might come sooner, I would love him as a titan or commander + Devcon.
>>11778312And seemingly no 3P wants to tackle chug stuff to cover missing characters either, so unless you want MP or Legends you're outta luck.
>>11778359>3P chugsWow, what a world that would be. Why isn't it this one?
>>11778312I hate how 3P has normalized $90 Legend sized figures. I get it's due to the engineering, but the size caps out how impressive it can be. I think Legends size is best when it's simple and fun if not necessarily high quality as a display piece, which is why I appreciated the last few years of Legends I don't need MP quality in a 4 inch figure. Back around 2018 I was getting MP sized 3P figures for around $90, it's insane to think how prices have more than doubled.
>>11778223I want a Delta Magnus/Powered Convoy deco
>>11778362Because we clearly are in hell
Combiner Dad is here to save the day!
>>11778359>>117783623P Classics scale is how 3P boomed, but since Hasbro seems to cover everything it makes it more of a risk to make a Classics scale figure only for Hasbro to make one in a year.
>>11778359>CHUG scaleLol>Make Megatron>Instantly out of scale with SS86 Prime
>>11778390>now you can sell leg upgrades
>>11778387his limb guys coming in 2027, 2028, and 2029....maybe.Walmart exclusive.
>>11778415Yay, I hope they all come with his signature chipped paint deco.
>>11778416Why does his visor have a nose?
>>11778416there’s barely any paint left on these and they still manage to fuck it up every time
>>11778418Yeah...my TFA Ratchet also had a big corner of his mouth unpainted and I'm just straight up returning it to avoid going through the maddening process of trying to find paint that matches. Hasbro's paint apps have always sucked shit, but it feels like they're somehow dropping the ball harder than usual lately.
>>11778417Because mistakes were made
>>11778424>Nexus Prime blackface scandal!
>>11778424Why couldnt it have been this Nexus instead of that fag with 3 seconds of screen time from One? When SS is right there?
>>11778453Because AotP Nexus is moreso pulling from the Binder of Revelation artwork
Hey, who threw this brick through my window?
>>11778456It is a sign. Become Brickman and beat up criminals.
>>11778456my brother in width!
>>11778335Put SS megatron next to Universe Hardhead and tell me megs is still voyager sized. Its another trick hasbro have done by downsizing the scale of the figures
>>11778455This? I wouldve taken them doing this design over the nexus we got. Still prefer the one that was actually a gestalt though.
>>11778460Yes, fatherI shall become a brick...
>>11778286SS86 Optimus is essentially a 2000s voyager with a giant box
>>11778477Post a single 2000s voyager with 86 Optimus levels of engineering from the genius transformation, matrix chamber, forwards butterfly, articulated hands and ankles.
>>11778483>Post a single 2000s voyager with 86 Optimus levels of engineering from the genius transformation, matrix chamber, forwards butterfly, articulated hands and ankles.How about a deluxe?>"ERM HE HAS NO MATRIX"Shit, you're right, better up the price by $80
>>11778483Half the voyagers from ROTF have more complex engineering than anything from SS86 lmao
We need combiner power now!
>>11778490I own that Sunstreaker and is not even close to 86 Prime in terms of engineering and parts count. You're retarded.
Megadad activated
>>11778456>Arise, Brixus Prime.
>>11778491All of that thick solid plastic, $20 price, not tied to an open box with string.Current Transformers look so cheap.
>>11778466Nobody said 86 Megatron is Voyager sized. And why do you mention Universe Hardhead instead of the original use of the mold, Onslaught (which I own). That was an Ultra class (Leader) and not a Voyager, by the way. I'm starting to believe you're not a shitposter but just clueless as fuck.And if you're trying to argue that size classes have been shrinking... We all know that, and it's beside the point. This all started with the 100 bucks voyager price nonsense.
>>11778504Open boxes aren't a thing anymore for mainline transformers. Also I hope you like that Bludgeon's threads melting the plastic.
>>117784152027 left arm and 2029 right leg will be walmart exclusives2028 left leg and 2029 right arm will be target exclusives

>>11778517Dropped it fug
Kiss my combined metal ass!
>>11778500When this figure came out everyone was saying the body swap engineering was genius and people still say it was especially because it was never really done before until then. SS86 Optimus is only "mindblowing" to tourists and actual mouthbreathers. It's a good figure but it doesn't do anything inside and outside of HasTak that's spectacular or justifying of it's $90 markup, if you suggest otherwise you're a coping retard.>>11778507Ultras in 08 were Voyagers with lights and sounds. Just because 90% of this general were born yesterday doesn't mean everyone is
>>11778490Are you trying to fool yourself? Because you arent fooling me. A modern deluxe could have the same shit leg design and get clowned for it.
>>11778529You literally cannot fill that leg in because that cavity is for where the thighs go during transformation. Nobody complains about shit like that, they complain about modern deluxes just have hollow legs and thighs with thin plastic because hasbro were too cheap and lazy to cover the gap
>>11778508Oh no! I have to pay a whopping $5 for some protective coating form the hardware store, better go buy that shitty tarn remold. I've had my bludgeon for about 10 years and this has never happened.
>>11778532>downplaying a widely known and reported issue with bludgeon
>>11778456Didn't someone come up with a fan mode that looked a bit more... palatable?
>>11778456I kinda like it
>>11778540>downplaying how cheap and shitty modern transformers are
>>11778541This one? Honestly, you might think it looks better, but it's just the robot lying downThe real transformation does a lot to change shape
>>11778530>Nobody complains about shit like thatPeople absolutely do, all the fucking time
>>11778555You didn't even read what I said. Nobody complains about hollow areas for transformations genius. It's part of the engineering. It's when hollowness isn't part of the engineering and is used as a blatant crutch is when it's an issue.
>>11778560NTA but hollowness still sucks ass, I understand why it might be there but it might still look ugly when it's not covered, that's why people like things like flaps that hide the gap that fists fold into
Ironhide never skips leg day
>>11778567are this guy and ratchet supposed to be fembot versions or something?
>>11778567Why does he look so feminine? Just replace the face, and it's a woman.
>>11778523Dude, I've been collecting Transformers since Euro G1 and actually own all the toys you're referring to. And you still haven't addressed what started this conversation, the outlandish "voyager class are 100 bucks" nonsense. You obviously hate new transformers pricing/design/whatever and that's fine, but the conversation was never about that. You're beating a dead horse for no real reason.
>>11778551Lying down the robot is better than making it into a pretzel with wings on either side
>>11778580I wasn't the one who made that original post or that claim so why do I have to address it? The Sunstreaker is the only figure I mentioned. He asked me for figures that have intuitive transformations and were well articulated and we had a bunch of figures like that in the past. Even the Commander class, was supposed to be the equivalent to an old leader from back then too.
>>11778518>gps + translucent plasticlol
>>11778271that's basically everybody all the time now. I want off the ride.
>>11778491god damn that is a good toy.
>>11778622>gpsModern fans should be banned from using this term because they don't understand what it really is or how it actually works and just throw it around like retards. Same with "mold degradation".
>>11778491For a long time RotF Bludgeon was my favorite Transformer. Too bad his treads melted.
Too bad they wasted bludgeon on a tarn repaint instead of a modern rotf toy
>>1177847260$ no refunds
>>11778530>>11778560That's bullshit. People complain about hollowness regardless. Most recently it was Twin Mill.
>>11778649This guy was something else. It's even worse when compared to Bone Shaker, who has a very cool transformation.
>>11778622Where on that do you see swirly plastic with metallic flakes in it? I'll give you the translucent plastic part - that thing's gonna shatter anywhere where there's a metal piece connecting to a joint - but there's nothing on it that's just going to dissolve on its own like what happens with GPS.
Haslabs have been mostly obscure Japanese characters. What's an obscure western character they could do?
>>11778501what was the reasoning for him to be integrated with only superion's frame and not bruticus' and menasor's if he's meant to be like some gurren mecha that can make everything into a combinernot that well versed with transformers lore
>>11778675Titan-class Torca
>>11778675We have a few but so far, Haslabs have had animated media backing them. Obscure characters they could do from the western side:-Cyberverse Croaton or Iaconus-IDW has several unique Titan designs, plus their version of Thunderwing-Beast Wars had the triple combiners (though, they'll likely use their Japanese versions)-Beast Machines had the gigantic TMII Optimus with Megatron's head and the Grand Mal Japanese side still has most of the figures they'll likely pick for it.
>>11778675Sam's Club Omega Prime?Are there otherwise NA exclusive TFs that would warrant the Haslab treatment?
>>11778683That would be a Hasbro pulse mto figure.
>>11778675Generations Rescue Bots High TideLodestar + LightbrightVigilemTLK Dragonstorm (all 12 knights)IDW Thunderwing>>11778683I would kill for a Splendid Convoy redeco of haslab prime
>>11778686They want to retool the mold for splendid, not sure what they'll change.
The tolerances are all fucked on these two, every joint is either too tight or too loose. They removed the rubber parts from Weirdwolf, but now that it's hard plastic Carnivac's back won't open without forcing it. Very disappointing set.
>>11778683I don't understand why people like this yellow prime.
>>11778696paletteswaps are fun
>>11778696Literally just because funpub made it a fembot.
>>11778700But it's not even a proper paletteswap, the red chrome chest is sticking out.
>>11778702that part was on a different part of the palette, that's the brilliant part!
>>11778675If they do Gigatron as a Haslab like Fire Convoy I'd have a coronary.
>>11778710His head horn is not nearly as exaggerated as that
>>11778683They shouldve never locked a main series optimus prime in the haslab vault. And then also made it out of scale and with shit qc.
>>11778715what is that japanese trope you see sometimes of like, bat-wingy-elephanty-ears-plus-a-central-horn? there's a kaiju like that, there's definitely some other stuff..
>>11778710With current figure development, he'd need to be a Nu-Titan since he's huge in the show. Japan really liked their giant destroy leaders.
>>11778675Thunderclash, so he won't be a half assed Motormaster repaint and we can get his proper tower of doom trailer.
>>11778682There's a rumor Magnaboss is coming in 2027 in the mainline.
>>11778696On my shelf it's Sentinel Prime
>>11778733That one was debunked by the leaker, JTprime says people were reading way too much in his clues, Magnaboss was not one of those clues.
>>11778738A separate leaker was the one who suggested Magnaboss was coming.
>>11778726Thunder Clash really deserves a new figure, the robot needs articulation and it would be interesting but probably disappointing to see how modern engineers tackle his cab's gimmicks. Also, I want to see if Hasbro would bother to release Machine Wars Optimus Prime from him.
>>11778710>>11778719If he was to scale with Omega he probably would need to be Titan, not huge huge, but bigger than Commander. I would say Rail Racer could be Haslab, if theres anyone else from RID.
>>11778587It feels a lot less fun though
>>11778748All the RID combiners are gigantic, even Omega Prime looks like a manlet next to them. For scale, God Fire Convoy and Gigantron are about half their height and the components are about the same size as them.Also, while Gigatron is the same size as God Fire Convoy, he's pretty bulky. Unlike GFC, a Haslab for him wouldn't have anything enticing to add, he doesn't have a plethora of weapons, or accesories they could add. Sure, they could give him another throne because Japan sure loved to give their leaders one, but that's pretty much it.
>>11778456This guy is so dissapointing. It's like the designer just gave up. Retooling Onslaught should have been the way to go, but they just had to base the design on One and Covenant, despite his most famous version being the funpub variant..
>>11778748>If he was to scale with OmegaOmega is grossly oversized and shouldn't be what anything's scale is based on. Using Sky-Byte, Scourge and deluxe cars as a base he would be almost exactly Jetfire/Combiner frame sized. And despite having 10 "modes" his engineering is probably simpler than any of them.
>>11778739Screenshot? Because even so I don't believe Magnaboss is coming next year. None of the individual parts, Prowl, Ironhide or Silverbolt are in the listings and a Commander is out of question. Magmatron was able to get by being a Commander because his individual components each don't have a robot mode.
>>11778695Works on my PC - but variable QC is what I've come to expect from Hasbro these days, sadly.
>>11778740I mean at this point he'll probably just be an Armada Prime retool
>>11778769>Omega is grossly oversized and shouldn't be what anything's scale is based on.But he's what we have now. Having an RID set of figures without Optimus doesn't make a ton of sense. Though they don't seem to be in any hurry for more RID, so probably doesn't matter all that much right now.
Oh no, he's hot!
>>11778790Nice, so I guess the new stuff is all built into the sled
>>11778790Even if I never buy this I'm definitely interested.
>>11778790Is there any if the original toy design in this?
>>11778796Plenty, the new parts are on the sled, you could recreate the original transformation by taking it off.
>>11778790Original face in the chest
>>11778797The arms look very different too.
>>11778791I'd be more interested in David Bowie Prime if the mold wasn't obnoxiously big, Rodimus isn't even a Micromaster anymore which makes the micromaster trailer is way too big for actual micromaster. It's like they took what was obviously a commander and just hit ×1.5 in CAD.
>>11778798Well, I assume you can still use it like the original toy, looks like everything new is in the Sled
>>11778797No you can't, the Van didn't have actual side windows.
>>11778799The arms are on the sledI'm sure the original arms are still on the figure, as you can see his doors are still there
>>11778791The fake of all Optimus Primes are to become black.
>>11778795same. Ironhide is infamous. I've always said Diaclone should have been adapted intact, because transforming mechs are fun, and they don't HAVE to be cohesive robots, just battle platforms. Like how not every sentai needs giant robots, sometimes they just have tactical vehicles or whatever. But the journey it took where they TRIED to make you believe these are living robots, despite... that.. is fascinating.
>>11778808It's kind of crazy in a way, since Ironhide without a pilot removes like the entire POINT of his play value. He's just a wonky emaciated weirdo. It'd be like if they just threw the Aliens Powerloader into the line and said it was its own guy.
>>11778804what are you basing all this on?
Ironhide could have been Sparkplug's tool van or something turned into a non-sentient battle platform robot and the Witwickys could have used him as a battle platform. Would have kept the spirit of the toy without having to make all the other robots act as mechs too.
>>11778817My eyes, of which I can see and also owning the original
>>11778818You'd think takara wouldve had mech suits in there sooner, easy way to instantly make humans useful. I guess it finally came around in masterforce.
>>11778818see I like that for the same reason I like Diaclone's variety. VARIETY, man. It's silly that, just because you're selling toys, that every single thing in the show has to be the same... kind of thing.It's like when you look at the Justice League Unlimited and realize 99% of them are 'action-figure-shaped' and it's like really? Not a single.. Idunno, dinosaur? sentient blob? 13 foot tall demigod with six arms? but even moreso for something about aliens or mutants or whatever. It provides a LOT of spice if you allow the Turtles to fight someone other than other mutants, and they do. Transformers Animated got a lot of points with me for having different kinds of villains besides 'a new Decepticon so we can sell a new toy'
>>11778777>The point>Your headHim existing doesn't = using him as the reference point for scaling. The God Fire Convoy combination is a super mode that was oversized in the animation to look even awesomer. At least use regular Fire Convoy as a reference point if you need to at all.
>>11778823>Transformers Animated got a lot of points with me for having different kinds of villains besides 'a new Decepticon so we can sell a new toy'That was the part everyone hated the most about that show.
>>11778825Look, were they always good? No. were they as good as new decepticons? Very no. but they TRIED. it was an interesting idea, and it made the setting feel a lot more real, which is ironic since it's by far the cartooniest transformers other than, like, rescue bots or whatever. (is there a Transformers Babies yet? Because if not, that's a massively untapped bit of potential)
>>11778766The scale issue is why I bought MMC Ruination.I'm going to try and track down the original 3 autobot brothers and the predacons. I hope Rail Racer is a haslab at some point.
>>11778830Fuck I forgot to mention I also got Fans Hobby Archenemy too
>>11778830this guy has the opposite problem of that recent one with the stubby legs.your shouldn't be able to pull your knees up past your collarbones, but you should sure as fuck not be able to knee your own navel either.
>>11778834>your shouldn't be able to pull your knees up past your collarbonesSorry you can't do that
>>11778830Every time I see this, I'm reminded how much it sucks that we'll only ever get Ruination as a Bruticus repaint, which means we'll never get a good modern Ruination that retains his canon scramble ability. I don't need Bruticus to be able to do it, but there's no point in my eyes in getting Ruination if he can't do it.
>>11778841>Every time I see this, I'm reminded how much it sucks that we'll only ever get Ruination as a Bruticus repaintAnon, I...
>>11778832Any comparison photos with this guy and haslab fire convoy?
I know this is a weird post, but anyone here got both the MPG Optimus and 86 Prime? Can 86 Prime use the accesories well?
>>11778848I doubt they’ll look right togetherHe’s pretty big
>>11778791Any guesses to how much she'll be? G2 Menasor was 30k yen so I'm guessing it'll be around that price, but shipping will be killer.
>>11778921Well Star Prime was 38k yen on release so make of that what you will
>>11778834>your shouldn't be able to pull your knees up past your collarbonesAre your hips broken or something?
>>11778935So likely more around 40k, ouch.
>>11778832I hate this guy's truck mode and blocky forearms
>>11778970At least his shoulder pauldrons move.
>>11778819I own the original too and show me that second set of arms in the pic
Major Wild King announcement?
>>11778841Nah man, they're gonna milk this new Bruticus for all it's worth: G2, Ruination, Battle Gaia, all of the repaints.
>>11778664Clear plastic fragility is a meme. Most of the problems from clear plastic breaking are less about the it's use and more about fucked tolerances flexing the plastic which is what actually causes the cracks in the first place
>>11779057I see.It isn't fragile, but if force is applied it breaks easily.Got it.
>>11779047I'm surprised a lorefag like Sakamoto hasn't come up with sometiing to tie together Bruticus and all his repaints.
>>11779089Clearly we found someone who doesn't understand how the square peg round hole analogy
favorite cancelled figures? I couldn't give a fuck about the show but I'm sad this big lug will never see the light of day
>>11778970We know. You bring it up every time someone has posted about it for the past ten years.
>>11778848These boys are massive compared to mainline hasbro.
