So is there anything new about MPG-19, or is it just a fresh coat of paint on a 14 year old toy?
>>11802806It has an additional pink energon cube, instead of the gun Megatron, other wise yeah it's the same in cartoon colors
>>11802778>leave country eons ago and live in usa>still don't have Slug in my dinobots squad because he's expensive>feel nostalgic. go to see what kind of toys that store in my old country have>Slug is just ~$20 bucks...wh..what...Ok here is a plan>return and buy Slugs. All of them>move them in states>sell them on ebay>become rich!!!jk i'd rather buy slug for $200 bucks than return to that hellhole... still i'm salty. I remember seeing Earthrise Jetfire for $30 bucks on that site as well...
>>11802806Do yourself a favour and just buy Acoustic Wave if you want a toon Soundwave
>>11802815Honestly I feel the same. I like how the original MP Soundwave likes a lot and still want one even with his weird hips, and even as someone who doesn't care for toon-literalism Acoustic Wave looks decent. This seems like a weird compromise between the two with the strengths of neither. The sculpted details look odd without the extra paint apps of the original release.That said if Takara does a new mould MP Soundwave I'd rather it was an "MP-13 2.0" ala Style Gen Optimus, rather than trying to compete with the FT one. The aesthetic of MP-13 was great, just the engineering is a bit wonky. And looking at how the 2.0 of Bumblebee came out, yeaaaah.
>>11802822>doesn't care for toon-literalism Acoustic Wave looks decentThe fact it lets you change out some parts for the toy versions was great
>>11802822And if we’re talking style gen they should take cues from Studio OX design I think
>>11802828That is very cool. I think I overall prefer MP-13's style to AW even with the toy parts (also IIRC the toy parts on the sides of the legs can't stay on for transformation, could be wrong though) but I do appreciate that they included options. Honestly, if they re-released it in colours closer to the original MP (darker blue and silver instead of white) I'd probably bite.>>11802831Studio OX Soundwave would be amazing. Honestly I'm sad MMC are the only guys doing OX designs, they're so stylish- like designs for a condensed but more coherent and better animated G1 OVA that never happened.
In hand pics of Titan Grimlock are out nowSo have some size comparisons
All the best to those that get him, but I think I'll be skipping this one
>>11802850>>11802852>>11802855>>11802858Man all this has over the Leader is size and the tail. And DNA's kit sorts the tail. The robot mode is kinda clunky, the dino mode is extremely janky and the actual sculpting and paintjob feel like downgrades. Plus it's so fucking BIG. I'd have bought a Slug or Scorn at Leader size, but not like this.
>>11802852This is why I find Titan scale Dinobots so absurd. Grimlock shouldn't be the same size as Devastator. It's dumb.This and the fact he can't close his mouth makes him an easy pass for me.
>>11802859Outside of its general jankiness, the sculpt job might be what kills it more me.The leader class is much more visually appealing to mePlus the backpacky stuff obliterates the silhouette making his waist and already wide hips look even wider
>>11802866The big thing is that it's the Bayverse Dinobots. Nobody cares about them. They are the true test if Hasbro can sell nothing characters at Titan class to appeal to checklistfags.
>>11802887I watched that movie once and I don't remember them doing anything. I think Optimus rode Grimlock for a scene? I will not be watching that film again.
>>118028873P has been selling them for years now, and they're cool designs even if no one cares about the characters. The big issue is that Grimlock looks kinda janky here. But in theory if they did them well they'd have a market, Dinobots always do.
>>11802866>>11802852>>11802855>>11802858I don't know what's the point of this being so big and expensive.This character comes from a bad movie. And it looks like you cut yourself trying to transform him - it looks so unfriendly to your hands and fingers..
>>11802912>I don't know what's the point of this being so big and expensive.Hear me out: Titans at Leader scale paired with a revival of Legends class. It'd be neat to transform Metroplex without having to lay him out on a big surface.
>>11802866>give Grimlock a knight head to match the others?>No!>give Grimlock a G1 inspired head that also looks similar to a knight helmet?>No!>give Grimlock the head of Guyver?>That's it!Such strange movies
>>11802953>give Grimlock the head of Guyver?>That's it!Well, at the very least it’s continuing a TF tradition
>>11802953I always assumed it was taken from one of the noble or viking helms where there is a tall singular horn to signle to the group of soldiers where the commander was
I love Legacy Gears. Such a fun little bot. Kind of wanna pick up Swerve now, but I feel like he'll probably hit discount eventually.
>>11802866The leader looks cool but I hated actually playing with it, everything just clashes and clunks and falls apart/isn't held together very well. I have to imagine the titan is at least better at that
>>11802912>This character comes from a bad movie.They're all bad movies, anon. Maybe 1 is decent. No, DOTM is not that good either.
>>11802912You don't have to watch the movies to enjoy the toys.
Would the blokees grimlock be the best tiny grimlock to do a swap for the pro version of the pinball table?
I just noticed the drop targets were the seekers
>>11802675ahh thank you, that clears it up nicely.>>11802680yes, did you even google it? https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/legacy-filch-upgrade-kit.1269241/>>11802696the chest pieces seemed to go around the head, plugging into those slots on the chest-sides.and yes that anon was using an airazor upgrade kit
Hopefully DNA will make kit for him to look even more like Unicron or Cybertron crab tank
I am far more interested in what "New Prime" is and what he's remolded from.
>>11802989>I love Legacy Gears.I wish I'd picked him up before the aftermarket price went insane.
Saw this guy in handYou know what I am soldBut damn talking about the price.
They have 2 sets on site for test play. Bunch of kids actually gave them a try.
>>11802855>the main selling point of Titan Grimlock is the big dino mode>it has barely any articulation to do anythingWhat were they thinking?
>>11803075>Stygian ZinogreCome on give me whole line of TF x MH
>>11802863Do you think he's the same size as G1 Grimlock?
>>11802912>And it looks like you cut yourself trying to transform him - it looks so unfriendly to your hands and fingers..Have you never touched a Transformer toy made in the last 20 years? Hell, have you never touched ANY Hasbro toy? What a larp, why are you even here? That shit is soft gummy plastic
>>11802850God, he's just so crappy. I'm glad I waited on the 3P one but I'm also really glad to finally get him, and this was the last straw keeping me thinking 'well maybe they'll eventually get him right'fucking how many movie grimlocks has it been now? Discounting the baby ones, at least four? and they're all THIS bad.>>11802855at least he has a semblance of a neck and tail, I have to give them that. Hell, the tail's size beats the 3P. but... the LEGS! Christ, you couldn't make the legs transform, huh?>>11802858yeah that is the right attitude.
>>11802863in the movies he's so big, Prime can ride him, so..>>11802887They are among the best bayverse designs. Them, Devastator, and Jetfire. and the Dreads. and Ravage.>>11802891true, they don't get to do anything.
>>11802912It's unfriendly to his enemies!!>>11802972I took it to be like Kyoshin..
>>11803032Each one is the best of the series, and the worst. It's truly bizarre and amusing. You take various aspects of them, the humor, the action, the human elements, the designs, the plot, the pacing.. each one does one of those the best, and one of them the WORST. and what order that goes in? is totally fucking wackyNobody expected anything of the 4th movie, why the fuck are they doing a 4th? but it ended up having the best plot. and the WORST human parts, as if to say "oh you complained about the human parts before? Here's a guy thinking his 17 year old daughter can't have a boyfriend and treating the guy like a cradlerobber for it, and that's supposed to be funny"then we're like well okay, for the first time, a good plot setup. How will the 5th one be? uh, WORST plot. Fucking garbage. Dumbest robot mode looks. and yet, DINOBOTS. fucking dinobots. and the BEST human parts of any of the five. We got fucking Agent Simmons back AND Anthony Lilyhopkins, and they are both in top form.It's truly a mess of a series. the 2nd movie is hot garbage in story pacing, yet it has the best designs of any. It's nuts.
>>11803075Take a closer look at the proportionsthey really fucked this up hard. Liger head is stubby and small in beast mode, yet overly gigantic and sticky-outy in robot mode. Robot torso isn't even the beast torso folded, because of all the electronics, so it's just like this giant filing cabinet turned on its side. shoulders attach to basically nothing. Beast mode legs put all the meat on the feet, so the thighs have to waste away like Frank Moore. Liger paws in robot mode can't even flip around to be melee weapons, they're just hanging out underneath. It's a messsss. And on top of everything else, they kept the transparent nose tab on the liger, which EVERY version after the original changed, or at least painted over if it was a remold.>>11803083That would be pretty tits. I am very excited for the new MH zoids.
ALL HAIL MEGATRON!
Modern stampy when
>>11803079That's very cool of them. but it seems the challenge was a bit too much. This isn't for kids anyway.
>>11803119Whenever Legends/Core class gets revived
>>11803075Mine's finally in the mail, I preordered it from Pulse when I was just a lad. I still think the design could have been better but it looks fun overall. I think what got me to pull the trigger was the inclusion of the diaclone stuff, it just kind of felt like a some nebulous throwback to playsets I had as a kid.Who are these little guys? Why do they have a giant robot animal? Why does the giant robot animal stand up and turn into a humanoid? I'll never know, but I'll love every second of pitting them against some other random bullshit I've chosen as their antagonist. Maybe they'll fight a Furby.
>>11803064Fuck it. Until Hasbro makes a bigger one, this is my Unicron.
>>11803126and when they do, this can just become his moon, Lunicron.
>>11803130Rimshot. Although this also makes for a good update of his Cybertron toy.
Target getting ready to ship out Stranger Things van guy
>>11803064somehow even as a silhouette this thing just looks awful, megatronus mold does not fit this idea at all
>>11803157why the hell did they use the fallen for thisliege is literally just green unicron
>>11803054Love it
>>11803032Had a laugh, saw some fags on Twitter crying that Hasbro has FORGOTTEN DotM because there's no big gift set, and the new CEO hates Bayformers, and this is all G1's fault I hate G1
>>11803196What do they even want that hasnt been done?
>>11803212There is nothing new but then the Bayformers box sets haven’t been anything new anyway, just collections of characters from specific scenes.Scenes that come to mind for DOTM are:Optimus, Ratchet and Sentinel from the moon landingMegatron, Starscream and Soundwave in AfricaBumblebee, Mirage, Crankcase, Crowbar and Hatchet from the highway chase (with an accurate Crankcase)Ironhide, Sideswipe, Crowbar and Crankcase from the Mexican standoffOptimus and Shockwave from Shockwave’s deathOptimus, Sentinel and Megatron from the final battle
>>11803115>Robot torso isn't even the beast torso folded, because of all the electronics, so it's just like this giant filing cabinet turned on its sideThe lower torso disconnects from the electronics box and swings underneath. It's a bit like BW Silverbolt's old transformation.>shoulders attach to basically nothing. The shoulders are firmly attached to the electronics box and do not move for the transformation.>Liger paws in robot mode can't even flip around to be melee weapons,They most certainly can.Do you even own the toy? Because aside from the "all the meat is in the legs" comment and the nitpick about the color of the nose tab, literally none of your complaints about the ,old are valid.
>>11803233exactly. The original silverbolt, with the tail fucking hanging out and the back orientation clearly wrong. or also, the bison guy, uh Bonecrusher.>firmly attachedsorry I didn't express that properly. I meant visually, they look like nothing attached to nothing via nothing. There's no 'armpit' yknow, no 'deltoid' or 'scapular process.' just.. hangin off.>do you even own the toydo I sound rich? I've watched many reviews. the paws can obviously de-transform, but that's not what I meant. They can't flip around while his hands are still in use.I did have a "a guy knows a guy" deal in place to try to get some of these from japan for a mere 250, but that fell through, so I looked at the proportions again and sour-grapes'd my way to feeling like i dodged a bullet. Was it really that hard to just move some of the shin meat up to the thighs? or just let the robot mode have thicker thighs, would that hurt anything?
>>11803234>>11803234>with the tail fucking hanging out and the back orientation clearly wrong.The torso disconnects from the battery box and swings underneath. The box itself then dislocates and folds down flush into a backpack. The torso orientation is perfectly natural, and he even has a rotating waist.>I meant visually, they look like nothing attached to nothing via nothing. There's no 'armpit' yknow, no 'deltoid' or 'scapular process.' just.. hangin off.They're attached to struts coming out of his sides, similar to Armada Optimus' Super Mode or Onyx Prime.> I've watched many reviews.Right, so now you're an expert.> the paws can obviously de-transform, but that's not what I meant. They can't flip around while his hands are still in use.Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?
>>11803254yes but silverbolt and bonecrusher DO have the tail. I'm saying it's LIKE those. I'm aware the pelvis swings down, but the abdomen kinda remains in place, and to me that looks goofy. They excuse it by making it a platform for all the extra diaclone weapons.> it looks very unnatural to me.>you actually found a way to make the paws do what I was suggestinghuh, okay. It's more awkward than I was hoping, but... Acceptable. Okay, I was wrong. But the other points I gotta stand on. We're not really disagreeing, that's exactly what I meant. Armada Optimus's super mode, exactly. Arms are just on these struts. they don't look satisfying.. they're so thin from the front, and his torso has no manliness to it. If not for their insistence on a battery pack, maybe that area could have folded out, making ROOM for the rest of the torso block, and giving him delts. Just saying.
>>11803256>huh, okay. It's more awkward than I was hoping, but... Acceptable.I transformed him in a rush for that shot - they can actually fold down flush against the back of his robot wrists, letting him go full Wolverine with no issue (well, except for the fact that his Strike Claws don't actually extend, which is a shame). The things are on a simple armature and attached via balljoint, and they're clearly MADE for you to do this. It is, after all, one of the Liger's primary weapons.>If not for their insistence on a battery pack, maybe that area could have folded out, making ROOM for the rest of the torso block, and giving him delts.It's not the battery pack that's the issue here - it's the Shield Liger's side-mounted missile pods that prevent you from doing much with that area, because they have to fold up into his armpits when not in use. The point of putting the arms on struts was to make room so you can deploy the missile pods freely in robot mode; it's totally a compromise made because the Liger's combat gimmicks were prioritized over the robot mode transformation. I've said it before, but it's best not to think of this guy as Optimus Prime - he's very clearly just a Shield Liger who was upgraded by Dianauts to transform, and his robot mode just HAPPENS to look slightly like Optimus. He doesn't even have a Matrix.
Only learned that Hot Wheels Prime was a thing recently and impulse bought one. I love the heavy weight & scale but hate the excessively long fist pegs. That is all.
>>11803281He'd be cool if he was actually obtainable and didn't sell out in seconds and then hit $90+ immediately
>>11803283I agree, makes no sense to me that a company would invest so much into a project for a limited run, a waste of licence, talent & tools.
>>11803281I wouldnt even pay $20 for that headsculpt
>New Bee put out an Armada Optimus headscult that's much better than the default.>20 bucks for one head.Man, even for 3p, this is overpriced. They released an 86 Prime kit with a new cartoon accurate head, Megatron arm and a fusion cannon for almost the same price.
>>11803314That's been my dilemma looking at alternate Prima heads
>>11803083Isn’t the Zinogre just a zoid crossover?
>>11803314It looks like they're putting out multiple heads, but I'm afraid of trying to pull the stock one off
>>11803320It's pretty easy, it just unscrews off. 86 Optimus is a bit harder, but still unscrews easily
>>11803278oh good point, the missile pods are probably getting in the way there.. unless they had a swivel at their base or something, then they could BE his backmeats. Meh.I'm okay with him not being optimus prime, I just wish they'd at least made him as cool looking as lio convoy or tigatron or any of the other catformers.I do remember wayyy back, someone did a zoids Voltron, and I wish I could find pics of that.. I google it, I get results, but it's all papercraft or chibis or whatever.
>>11803320Is that actually a new head or is that the 3rd Party Achai head?
>>11802852Letthemfight.gif>>11802858Now I need a bayverse Drift to complete this scene.
>>11803212Devcon, aka that Cloverfield guy that was stomping around in the background sometimes.
>>11803319yeah what Anon is saying is: since Zoids gets MH crossovers, Transformers should tooI agree wholeheartedly.Also? If they're gonna keep doing these zoids crossovers, maybe use some more complex molds instead of the simplified, babified "Wild" models
>>11803336I would buy this for the mot mode alone
>>11803340We did though.
>>11803332I dunno I just searched up New Bee Armada Prime head, imo middle ones paint is sloppy and not as detailed as the others
>>11803320>>11803332Left is NewBee, right I don't know but I'm fairly sure it's not Achai's. The proportions don't match.>>11803318I cannot recommend enough the Origin Toys kit. $20 for a bunch of armour parts, 2 heads, 2 swords, a gun and some gap fillers is just about the best value for money there's ever been from an upgrade kit.
>>11803319I never realized how close its colors were to Weirdwolf before
>>11803336hell yeah. can I get a hell yeah?
>>11803192I wonder what repaints and remolds they're going to do with the 13 Primes besides Star Convoy and Vector Prime.
>>11803352we got ONE and then a remold of it. We didn't get "a whole line" as he said. Not yet.>>11803353I like all of these heads.
>>11803361I'd buy a retool of onyx but it'd have to be a pretty significant one.
>>11803363It was so disappointing I don't know why anyone would want to see more.
>>11803368well the early monster hunter zoids were also pretty low effort, but they got way better.
>>11803336this is badass
>>118031181v5?Give me a real challenge!
Man, I love these Hot Wheels transformers so much because they roll so fucking good and look just like hot wheels in their alt modes. Got Bone Shaker full price, and just picked up a Twin Mil for $20. Would preorder the others if they weren't so much, for sure picking them up on a sale though.Any other leaks about how many more of them there will be and stuff? Kind of sad the next two are just more sports cars. It would be cool to see a truck or something else. Hell maybe even a monstertruck for a leader or something.
>>11803340>Also? If they're gonna keep doing these zoids crossovers, maybe use some more complex molds instead of the simplified, babified "Wild" modelsTrypticon x Gojulas when?
>>11803433from your mouth to tomy's ears.that said, I'm sure the gojulas mold is swisscheeseville by now. They need to make a new one, which they almost certainly will for the 'AZ' line.Otherwise, I mean, could do a Trypticon x Deathsaurer, but I don't feel like spending another 200 bucks
woo, got my upgrade kit for Razorclawwhich means his old feets can go on Bluebolts' hands, and give her actual hands! Okay not perfect hands, but it kinda works in a karasutengu kinda wayI will paint them to match better later. Might as well hit her toenails with black while I'm at it. and.. why does Bluebolts have a yellow beak but only on her head?
>>11803336Seconded.
>>11803457I ASKED you for a hell yeah
>>11803447Oh yeah and the head is also a darker blue. I guess it isn't meant to represent the actual bird part, after all.
>>11803447How does she transform with those hands?
>>11803363>we got ONE and then a remold of it.Recolor, not remold. Rathalos Prime and Silver Rathalos Prime are physically identical, it's just their colors that are different (and stats, if you're going by the difference between a common Rathalos and a G-Rank Silver Rathalos).I still want a TM2 Megatron Fatalis, an Elita-1 Rathian, or (for some serious wishful thinking) a Kirin from a retooled Battle Unicorn.
>>11803359what?
>>11803413I've only heard that they are indeed getting another wave of two original molds, no clue what the choices are
>>11803472Considering her transformation is just kinda "have her put her hands on her hips and pretend you can't see them", I'm not too concerned, but now you have me wondering...... okay, not TERRIBLY, but not great. I guess she turns into a griffin now.Or I can just pop them on and off, I mean I knew the solution wouldn't be perfect (the other solution is maybe drill a hole and get Tigerhawk/Razorclaw's normal hands in there, since I replaced those too)>>11803473my brain is doing a senile thing where It is SURE that 'remold' meant 'reuse of mold' at some point.
>>11803499man sometimes you just ask for a hell yeah and you gotta get a hell yeah!
>>11803502Wave 2 is GT Scorcher and Segundo Coupe (and target exclusive red Twin Mill)
>>11803524But you already knew thatI read the post wrong
Finally got me a real and proper modern Bludgeon for my birthday today. All of Hasbro's updates of old skull head have been failures due to him being a retool and heavily compromised super 7 meanwhile totally nailed the character with their figure....
>>11803534Bludgeon vs Beast Kingdom Optimus Prime fir size comparison
Imagine if the leader Astrotrain was actually Classics (and good)
Is Metalhawk good? The one with the shitty colours is routinely on sale for less than deluxe prices, I just can't deal with the fact that there's a more expensive one with better colours, and Metalhawk seems relatively plain as a figure and character.
>>11803534Happy birthday anon
>>11803534how are his hip joints? I collect the super7 tmnt (well, I did) and I often have to drip floor polish into those joints to tighten them.
>>11803534Hell yeah, I always get myself something nice for my birthdays. Have a good one anon
>>11803538
>>11803568They are a little loose but manageable. The battle skirt does help
>>11803571shit, that skeleton samurai is gonna bludgeon Optimus Prime! What's his name?
>>11803591Billy Bones
>>11803534I wish Super 7 would do more Action Masters
>>11803591Ossified-1.
>>11803591Bonezaitron
I love you guys. I wasn't even trying to start a thing.
>>11803591Admiral Bone-to-Pick
>>11803314I got those on ali with discount for far cheaper and one listing I forgot which one was Optimus and Nemesis for 23$. I hope thay will make more kits.>need to change those heads and post pics
>Gigascouternani kore
>>11803694How much were the tariffs?
>>11803706>How much were the tariffs?None for EU
>>11803706Do you understand how Tariffs work, in practice?
>>11803726do you think anyone does?we just had a european brag that he's paying less.
>>11803725>None for EUEurope pays import taxes?WTF are you talking about
>>11803571I love that it looks like he's haters gonna hate walking on Optimus. Cool looking figure, I'm the Bludgeonfag who posted both versions of Tarn mold in previous threads. I like the mold, but it's undeniable that this is way better looking. My birthday is coming up next month and I may throw this Bludgeon in with my BBTS order if he's still available.>>11803591Bone Zone.
>/toy/ is dying >go to other sites>turn 360 and turn around
>>11803700Please stop making me want this. I'm sure an Legends comic will explain it all with a bunch of even more insane deep cuts.
>>11803684 I'm mad that the japanese guy with a katana isnt called Bonezaitron and Bonzaitron the man who kungfus you aka Bludgeons you over your head isnt called Blidgeon bown
>>11803730I paid 90pln with coupon so it all costed me about 23$. And for us they shipped it as small gifts or something so no import tax shitshow. Xi I kneel
>>11803732It's a good mold but you can feel their urge to beef him up and sell for 55$ as smaller leader class. >>11803733/toy/, small local fb groups and normal discord servers are the only way to go. >>11803735Anon, I feel like retard now after I got AotP repaint to treat him as Gigastorm.
>>11803739Anon, that's what VAT's are when they're put on the checkout
>>11803741It basically just has a new horn but the BWfag in me makes me want this so bad.
>>11803747Still it was cheap>>11803740Deco grew on me. I like tactical vest look now.
Yeah it's perfect.
Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong!>>11803745I really need to do something with my AotP Trypticon. I've had him sitting in shuttle mode for months after realizing he was too big for all of my current shelves in beast mode. The new one does look amazing, though not to the point that I regret picking up the AotP. Nemesis Star Convoy is Takara repaint that's going to give my wallet a raping.
>>11803740>Optimus invades AfghanistanBay would be proud.
>>11803771>AfghanistanExcuse meIt's pronounced Carbombya
>>11803740I like the idea of this but I don't know about the deco. Jokes aside, it doesn't really work as desert camo because of the goofy ass flame and the blue. That's also some aggressive kibble. The more I look at it the less I like it, since I'm sure it'll be $150 minimum. Even the gun is eh. It's the kind of thing that works for Gundam but less so here.
Target SS86 line will be shown at 05.06 - Prowl, Starscream and bugs 3-pack.
>>11803741Is the little titan master supposed to represent Megastorm in his old body?
>>11803740NGL I like him a lot. Even the colours don't bother me, he's still clearly recognizable as Optimus Prime and he's quite obviously not aiming for G1 accuracy. I dunno, could be tempted.
>>11803741lel, the way they did this little panel makes me laugh
>>11803725>>11803730Ali includes taxes in the list price
>>11803740>what if 07 optimus and 07 bonecrusher made love and not war on the battlefield
Ah, the autistic urge to buy a second Wreck-Gar to have him riding himself like he did in the Movie rises once more.
>>11803902They have been making light of Trypticon eating Titanmasters since the toy came out. Remember this?
>>11803741>6th version of the mold>Still can't close the chest door properly
>>11803984You could go for Junkheap or the third one if you want to feel less autistic about it
>>11804038I was actually planning to get both eventually anyway. Just not in any hurry because they've been shelfwarming for awhile and I don't think think that's going to change any time soon. The SS86 Gnaw/Sharkticon seems to be getting scarce and I want a couple to go with the Quintesson Judge that's coming eventually, so I think I'll go after those next.
>>11803516what?
>>11803984Damnit Hasbro, when?
>>11803740That's a reasonable amount of accessories, Ironhide had a thousand (who is he fighting with all of that?)
>>11803981Love IS a battlefield
>>11804111Damn, I'm not even a Gobots guy, but that deco is sick.
>>11804111Literally never. You do realize Bandai owns Machine Robo right? They barely got away with the Crasher
>>11804191Transformer fans do not comprehend this. They think Hasbro buying Tonka and owning the Gobots cartoon means they're entitled to the Bandai owned MR designs. It's like thinking WB owns Godzilla because they bought Hanna Barbera which made a Godzilla cartoon.
>>11804111Someone should do Leader-1using the SS86 Seeker mold.
>>11803534I really wish they had the ability to make a crisper sculpt and not lean int being as soft looking as a late 80's sculpt.
>>11804111>>11804191They COULD do it. Bandai only owns the original toy design. They could do CyKill with Wreck Gar or another motorcycle mold.The chief issue was Crasher was that they lost the rights to the name, hence why they had to rebrand her Crasher for a bit, since they effectively turned her into a Mirage gender swap instead of a sports car like the original figure
>Jolt can barely hold Hot Shots gun because they made it two barrels for no reasonEvery day I wish whoever designed him thought just a little more
>>11803737So lame, man. They totally could have kept the original design but give him a way to shift the arms up and hide a head in the sled.
>>11803810Looks like it. The Headmaster is the original body, Full-Tilt is a Transtector, and Trypticon is his new body.>>11804023I think anon was more commenting on the way they posed small Megastorm - he looks like he's willingly (and eagerly) leaping into his bigger form's waiting maw. Dude's a vore fan.
>>11804252>they had to rebrand her Crasher for a bit,Fracture. They rebranded her as Fracture for a bit. That chick from the Bumblebee movie was supposed to be her.
>>11804301what the fuck am i looking at. What the fuck is this.>so lameAnd this is not? LOL
>>11804344>he needs a fucking robot to look like a human LMAO FAG!
>>11804344It's way lamer and he doesn’t even have real shoulders
>>11803810Yeah, I’m guessing the Legends manga is going to explain it by having his Angolmois Energy removed similar to what happened to Starscream and BB and he’ll be forced to use a mech to become Gigastorm again, similar to what BWSG Megatron had to do with the Gigastorm Armor
Some day I want a ML Jetfire. Someday...
>>11804368I know you mean a new toy based Jetfire, but I wouldn’t mind a ML style figure based on his animation model
>>11804373Isn't that the Siege toy?
I want Bandai to be cool and just let HasTak re-issue the original G1 Jetfire.
>>11804363The next New Legends chapter is titled Liege Maximo's Ambition, maybe Gigastorm did get captured and Maximo pumps him with confiscated Angolmois to make him a planet sized opponent for Nemesis Star Convoy.
>>11804349If I wanted Diaclone I'd buy Diaclone.>>11804368>Some day I want a ML Jetfire. Someday...>>11804373>I know you mean a new toy based Jetfire, but I wouldn’t mind a ML style figure based on his animation modelThey likely will. In Japan no one will mistake a Valkyrie as a Transformers toy so if they do a Skyfire design they'll go with something closer to the animation model but retro it up.
>>11804301We know people were already complaining about that so much for Ironhide lol
>>11803740Can the wheels go down in robot mode and act like roller skates like a scope dog?
>>11804374I guess technically, I meant more one in scale with his original toy>>11804376They’d still might have to deal with Harmony Gold in order to release it stateside
>>11804390Why not just get that one?
>>11804241>>11804191Didn't they just make new Machine Robo toys in Japan anyways?
>>11804390Harmony Gold finally got told to shut the fuck up and let Macross stuff be released in America years ago.
>>11804392Heh, you’re funny anon
>>11804400Not like an actual ML Jetfire would be much cheaper
>>11804400Its also supposed to have awful QC.
>>11803736When the fuck will we get a cooformer named Pigeon Brown
>>11803757that is a nice shade of blue.>>11803759whatever fits on your shelf, man. that's all you can do.>>11803902yes that is tremendous.>Your crazy friend has never heard of the food chain!>>11803919that tracks. it's all to benefit them.
>>11803757Head moves up higher than stock? I want one now
>>11804191>>11804241and there's nothing about that that is Bandai. It's the Wreck Gar mold. What are they going to claim, stolen color scheme?
>>11804471you need to think of lawyers as terrorists (it works for basically every aspect of what they do)Yes it's inevitable that they will attack you, but you are still too scared to poke the hornet's nest, even with your protective suit on.
>>11804472Yeah, I know Hasbro thinks "better safe than sorry", but theoretically they COULD.They HAVE with Jetfire, despite some of his toys inching close to the original Valkyrie design. Harmony Gold tried to make a case once and were told to go pound sand.It's just that Hasbro doesn't give enough of a shit about Go-Bot to think it's worth the hassle
Is it true Blockees is offering "ambassador" deals for people who post Blockee TF content on social media like Instagram and YouTube that gets high views/engagement numbers?
>>11804481I don't think you'll be getting many deals with low lighting and piss stains on the sheets anon. Yes Blokees is the king of shilling, giving away full boxsets to people with lots of views.
>>11804488hey, stains happen.. sometimes it's just sweat.
Back to the pinball optimus.Since the motorized optimus kept breaking, why not have a ferrous pinball strike the optimus in truck mode, turning him into the cyberbot mode. Then have a magnet underneath pull him back into truck mode. That way there is only one part that can break.
>>11804492That's not sweat, bro. looks like food stains to me - anon must be eating in bed.
And if they took the transformation out, what is that silver box behind optimus?
>>11804550now that you mention it...Look the point is anon doesn't pee the bed. He's a grown lad with a functioning uhh.. oh it's just called the bladder sphincter? that's kinda boring, I thought it'd have its own special name. anyway, that. No coolant leaks..>>11804551It was nice of them to give Megatron a little nameplate in case he goes senile and starts calling himself Galvatron again.
Better view from the front
>>11804551It's not that they "took the transformation out" - all of the mechanisms are still present. The problem was that, since he kept getting jammed mid-transformation, they just disconnected the motor that pulls him down. It would theoretically be possible to reconnect it and have him transform as intended, but then you'd be running the risk of him getting stuck again.
>>11804554>It was nice of them to give Megatron a little nameplate in case he goes senile and starts calling himself Galvatron again.Optimus, Grimlock, and Soundwave are all labeled, too. Of the bunch, I think poor Grimmy probably needs the reminder the most.
Can the RC optimus be pushed down or is there a motor inside that pulls it down?
>>11804554Prime has one next to his name too. It's a callout to the old G1 Boxes that listed their names like that
From this angle you can see that the metal box completely disappears. I think it is a lift. The legs recede back into the playfield with an elevator. The arms and head go back into body and something moves it forward slightly.
>>11803740Which animated series is this prime from?
>>11804576Takara exclusive line, so none... yet.
>>11804556
>>11804557just install a motor that unsticks him>>11804558>ME... Uh... Me.. Grover?
>>11804344The G1 Ratchet/Ironhide toy was so fucking lame that Takara looked at it and went "AIYA WE CAN'T SELL THIS" and shoved Ratchet to a mailaway in 1986 and never released Ironhide at all. Years later when they reissued the toys they always became notorious shelfwarmers and you could find them for super cheap.
>>11804628lmao, but an understandable reaction to the g1 toy in comparison to the character
>>11804628zaright? huh.>>11804638Yeahhh I'm surprised they didnt just quickly whip up another. a "Laser Ratchet" as it were. No, that's not the comparison I should be making, is it. Who was the second optimus prime... Ah, Powermaster. a "Powermaster Ironhide/Ratchet" as it were.
>>11804644Funny enough, Hasbro had the same thing going on with Reflector. Despite his Season 1 appearances, documents later found would show there was a push to not use him in the show because Hasbro wasn't even sure they'd be releasing the toy at all.
>>11804649ahh the ol Tigerhawk principle. sad.speaking of, I just randomly realized I have these leftover parts from a broken movie airazor, and I wonder how hard it would be to scratchbuild together an either organic tigerhawk, or a sorta 'transmetal 1 tigerhawk' by grafting stuff onto a regular tigatron.. possibly doing further modification..
Remember when they'd do movie repaints in unrelated lines
I was really hoping we were going to get a Hasbro side to the MotU and TF Crossover
>>11804659
So what's the verdict on this guy? Decent? Lame? Dumpster Fire?
>>11804661That's actually a handsome cringer there. I think the silver teeth on the beast mode are better, though
>>11804665I'm enjoying mine, good haslab
>>11804665I'll let you know, if they ever ship it.
Uhhh
>>11804686Oh God what the fuck is that?
>>11804676I mean, it certainly looks closer than what we're getting.>>11804686>StrikArceeWhat the fuck? That's no digibash - is it someone's custom?
>>11804688
>>11804689>That's no digibashanon why would it be hosting in seibertron's toy galleries. it is very obviously a digibash.
>>11804689>That's no digibashYou can literally just look up what image it's digibashed from, you stupid fucking idiot
>>11804695reckon he meant that's not a PURE digibash, it must also have a custom elementand it looks way, way too smooth and integrated to not be physically real. which I agree, even though I knew right away it is indeed a digibash-AND-shooping (combo)
>>11804701jesus christ you need to get your eyes checked
>>11804701What do you think "digibash" means?
>>11804688My wife.
>>11804706select one area at a time, hue shift, then fuck with the contrast and saturation til it looks right.You're saying that includes shooping different heads on? I mean okay, that would fit with the whole 'bash' part, since that's what a photobash usually is.
>>11804714anon it comes from kitbashing. putting parts from two+ different model kits together
>>11804719well then the vast majority of what people call digibashes in here are -not- digibashes, because they are purely color-tweaks.
>>11803902
>>11804686It's kinda cute in like a Xenomorph way
>>11804829I was reminded of the Engineers from Prometheus.
>>11804564So is there any chance for a genuine Missing Link Megatron or will they do what they did with Ironhide/Ratchet/Arcee and make a new G1 tank mold for himOr Shockwave for that matter
>>11804870Seems like there's wiggle room with Shockwave due to being shaped like a laser gun and not a real world gun. Even the Siege mold's alt is an upside down gun.
>>11804870Takara can make gun megatron
>>11804628>Years later when they reissued the toys they always became notorious shelfwarmers and you could find them for super cheap.The vanette isn't even bad. Boomers just hate it because it's inaccurate and leans too much towards Diaclone for them.
>>11804628It's a good toy, but it only works in the Diaclone play model, which is an aspect adult collectors don't care about (for obvious, understandable reasons). It's a transforming playset. It's so central that I'd argue adding articulation doesn't even matter unless you change other things.
Sweet, my Shockwave and Skywarp just shipped from Amazon.
>>11804471Crasher is a redeco of a Machine Robo that hasn't really been touched in 30 years and even then they took significant liberties. Bike Robo is pretty significant and has had multiple updates. If Hasbro or Takara released a figure that looked too much like Cy-Kill it would fuck with their bottom line.>>11804393Yes but apparently these people NEED Hasbro to make them for some reason
>>11804644They didn't even have to do that. They could have created a new Ratchet figure via Protectorbot member First Aid instead of having the figure be a new character.Hell, you could have Frankensteined an entire new team of wave one Autobots out of Scramble City botsSilverbolt becomes a non Veritech Jetfire or SkyfireSwindle becomes HoundBreakdown becomes SideswipeFirst Aid becomes RatchetAnd streetwise becomes Prowl
>>11804870Keep dreaming.
>>11804870I don’t think they’ll pay licensing fees to walther, so probably not
made a webm
>>11805207ITS THE WRECK GAR MOLD.the toy already exists. Like I said, what are they going to claim, Hasbro used a color scheme they also used?
