>>11813955When new Glyph and Tap-Out toys?
>>11813967I heard a rumor their rights are screwy.
>>11813995Glyph had a new toy last year and the pair were in the comics in 2020.
Hey guys, anyone know who these G1 Glup Shittos, who I’ve highlighted in red on pic related, are.I’ve been coloring this art as a way to pass time and I cannot for the life of me figure out who the fuck these guys are. I’ve even tried combing through the wiki’s list of G1 cartoon transformers, drones, and aliens, and I still couldn’t find them.
>>11814002Why didn't you post the color version to help with the ID
>>11814002>>11814007I think they're from Sea Change. They were the robots helping Deceptitran
>>11814008Correct
Hey now, you're a Brawl-StarGet your game on, go play
>>11814015>>11814008Thanks /tfg/!Knew I could count on your guys’ collective autism to remember and identify a specific type of unnamed drones which only appeared in a single episode.Back to coloring I go.As thanks, uh… I offer up this Alana redesign that Churino_ did:https://twitter.com/Churino_/status/1902754549653250369
>>11814027The fact that they're right next to Deceptitran should've been a clue.
>>11813919How do you feel about>Arise, Rodimus Prime...
>>11814027whoa, this rules.
>>11813919>I hate that they made Prime a rank instead of just the guy's name>In Peter Cullen's voiceIt's not a rank or a name. It's a promise. Promise, that there will always be someone to light our darkest hour.
Arise, Thunderclashimus Prime
>>11814056Churino_ posts transformer redesigns pretty regularly. You can find most of them here: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO19_5b62YGNbj-nUm7D4VNYDd6tLx5axQ61iDYuvciYtC8JizvnfK1meugZbNe8g?Though there’s a fair amount missing for that that you’d need to go digging through their Twitter posts to find. I use nitter for that, personally: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/media?view=gridI like that a lot of the designs look very plausible to turn into fairly accurate toys. It kind of reminds me of back when Andrew Sorohan (asorohanart) was still alive and drawing up entire imaginary toylines.
>>11814114thanks man, prtycool
>>11814114Churino_ also recently made about 33 designs of varying complexities, which actually included a rough guide to how their transformation would work for a toy. (Some of them are a bit faint and hard to make out.) None of which are in that Tf A-to-Z gallery. Instead of flooding the thread with images, I’ll just link them in one long, ignorable post:7 Female Autobots: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2029192729796771916Arcee: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2018524818161979903Strika: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2030709910745268329Masterforce Sari: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/1996771205689598067A Hotrod/Rodimus and an Optimus who’s trailer becomes a motorcycle (pic related): https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/1996301038488338828Sexy female Optimus: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2027400863052907002The OCs of 4 other users: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2028902582920310920https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2025275430257783076https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2020988010049745139https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2019847353725850038And a thread of a Diaclone, 9 minicons, Solus prime, Super and base mode Splendid Convoy, Quintessa, and 2 versions of their own Tf-sona: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/Churino_/status/2016732089731752247Most of these look plausible, and I’d love to try 3D modeling them out, to see if I could make them work. One day,when I’m better at modeling I’ll probably give it a try. That and recreate Jizaitoys designs so that I can actually print and own any of that shape-witchcraft.
>>11814135kickass. any beastformers in there? I've always been fond of this design.. I realize it cheats a little, but it'd make an excellent show mode at least, for a redo that tried to cheat a bit less and be closer to potential new toys. You hear that, Hasbrony? Instead of the shitty netflix thing you did...
>>11814135I wish the kids line and collectors line were one thing. Basically what I mean is we got all brand new designs but meant for collectors (and kids too obviously) The japanese g1 guys are kinda what I mean and I'm glad stuff like that is happening. When was whale shockwave going to come out again?
It weird how we only got 1 repaint of this guy and it was a Botcon exclusive. Maybe no one really liked him compared to Optimal Optimus or the original but he was my favourite.
>>11813955Overgear is considered Generations?
>>11814141I've harped on him before, but I really think he's a downright lousy design. In fact, I'm noticing even more problems here, like his shoulder-pauldron gaps.
>>11814143I just love robot monkeys on surfboards
>>11814027The only change I'd make to this is the oars should be up the spine like porcupine quillsGoddamn I hate how g1 obsessed this era of transformers is. Thank God we've got Overgear and Collaboration coming in with a bit of flavor. I heard they're doing Fast and Furious cars next, and it's kinda ridiculous we haven't had a contemporary sports car outside of the movies since... What... Alternators? We're stuck with the same assortment of 80s fairladies and lambos every few years.
>>11814135Holy shit the trailer transformation
>>11814137I dig this but I'm not gonna ignore that there's now a very Geewunner style fanbase of Beast Wars. If they make a new beast wars, I think it would be a mistake to have the same cast and same beasts.
>>11814154>now a very Geewunner style fanbase of Beast Wars.What do you mean?
What are the chances we will ever see a new Scavenger? I'd love to have one that isn't a gigantic brick.
>>11814154Would be funny to get some of the g1 cast as beasts though. Make an official one of that bull sideswipe, for example, or have the kid appeal yellow character be a literal bumblebee.
>>11814166I think he's below Cyclonus but above Thrust. Then again, I figured they'd do Cyclonus before they did Sideways.
>>11814165Just something I've been seeing more and more of. People treating the original lineup as sacrosanct, a perfectionism and resistance to compromise that I associate with a certain mindset of G1 fan. Someone for whom no Masterpiece Optimus has quiiiite got it right yet. In the case of Beast Wars, I've seen lots of calls for a new dinobot or a new Cheetor. The ones we have aren't perfect but they're pretty decent and you have lots of options to choose from already. I love Rhinox and think they still haven't quite made the perfect one yet but I'm not holding my breath for another one.
>>11813955God I hope we get a tank Megatron out of this
>>11814175>People treating the original lineup as sacrosanct, a perfectionism and resistance to compromise that I associate with a certain mindset of G1 fanYeah, but the key difference is that we're right and Beast Wars was actually perfect.
>>11814143>his shoulder-pauldron gaps.That's because whoever transformed him didn't push his backpack down all the way - normally, those shoulder pads sit flush on top of his arms.
>>11814175>People treating the original lineup as sacrosanctYou've got to understand - because the cast was so small, you got to know the cast a whole lot better than in G1, where characters would regularly rotate in and out as the plot needed them. Everyone was a recurring character, everyone had particular ways that they played off of each other - even across faction lines - and because of that, adding or removing members changes the entire chemistry of the cast that fans of the show grew to love. It's understandable that people would be resistant to that, since it's what made the show what it is.
>>11814141You forgot Apelinq, so at least 2 repaints.
>>11814186>Beast Wars fans were the real "Geewunners" and "tooners" all along and just lashed out to hide that factMakes sense really
>>11814192>11814141My bad, I didn't realize you WERE talking about Apelinq, I'm tired.
>>11814193>Beast Wars fans are Genwunners and Tooners.I know you put them in quotation Mark's but no it doesn't make sense at all. Keep in mind the only place I talk about Transformers is here but I have seen so much love for non show toy characters, Transmetals, I've never seen anyone complain that new toys dont look like the toon. I actually have no idea what that guy is talking about or where he's seen it either.
>>11814194No you're right I looked it up and there are 3 repaints. But there are only 100 of these in the world.
>>11814198Oh shit there's actually four but it's a lucky draw figure. Chrome silver megatron is so fucking cool holy shit.
Holy shit why did japan get all these amazing lottery figures. There are so many 100% gold chrome ones but I cant find good pictures
>>11814199I want that Megatron. Have any 3rd Parties done these color schemes yet?
>>11814207Transart did the silver Optimus but it was also a rare limited lottery figure or something so good luck.
>>11814204This is the final form of the first party collector: Lucky Draws, prototypes, and custom commissions.
They did a lucky draw movie prime in metallic that was absolutely gorgeous, which reminds me. I need a new Movie Prime. What's out there in the same vein as RotF Leader Prime? You know, big and has real chest windows.
>>11813997How?
>>11814204Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll release the Haslab in these colors.
>>11813955since when do Transformers have such big guns?
>>11814230Since the very first episode.
I know neither are really good, but should I go for Earthrise or SS86 Arcee? 86 seems to have a better (actual) transformation but I kinda like the sculpt on Earthrise more.
>>11814239Earthrise car looks fat an you need to remove half of it for transformation or have a massive backpack, if you don't care about that then get that one if you like the robot mode better.
>>11814239I prefer Earthrise if that helps you. Yeah, the transformation (if you can call it that) and alt mode are not good. But there are other things to consider about figures also. Looking at it more holistically, 86 has worse washed out colors and is really spindly and stick-like. Earthrise bot is much better imo. As a plus side you can get her cheap as dirt (though I guess that probably applies to both)
>>11814207Look into DinoZone/Dinozaurs
>>11814258I really like the lifeline repaint, that headsculpt is so cute.
>>11814215What do you mean, "how"? How not, in your mind?
>>11814239Earthrise is truly awful, avoid at all costs.
>>11814282I don’t remember this advertised as coming out.
>>11814008What the fuck is Deceptitran?And where is Auto-Scout?
>>11814290Auto-Scout is very bottom left.
>>11814002I recognize Astrotrain’s trains but where is Blitzwing’s forced human second in command?
>>11814007What’s that big blue and white thing behind Starscream and Laserbeak?
>>11814306Is it a sentinel?
>>11814309I mean the omega sentinel
>>11814310at first I thought it could be but i don't see anything that resembles a blue and white Omega Supreme.
Fact is, no one but the main cast of Beast Wars matters... to Hasbro. I would love modern Torca, but Hasbro has no reason to believe there are any fans nostalgic for him.
>>11814321Polar Claw still weeps.
>>11814316Clearly you’ve never seen one then, you can see his head right there
>>11814326Pic for clarity
>>11814326Where? Under Shockwave’s butt?
>>11814323Well, at least he got this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJBqLy45mMo
>>11814321goddammit I NEED a Torca that doesn't fucking explode
>>11814333
>>11814330My bad, that’s another botBut it seems specifically this headless one
>>11814284"How" is not the word you use to ask that.
WoahThis is like INSANE!
>>11814366I hope no one engages with clickbait vagueposting beyond thisEither write out what you want to say or fuck off
>>11814366That Toy Guy really needs a different logo that doesn't look like a child Paint drawing.
>>11814341Got it.
>>11814340he's sick but he's not Torca and he's also like $300
>>11813997Does this transform?
>>11814470Anon...
>>11814239Both arcees are fucking trash but if i had to choose i'd take earthrise, that one at least got an actually nice robot mode
>>11814166Would be be a leader? I mean in the show he is slightly taller than everyone else but not by much and he is beefy plus i want his minicon like how sideways got his.
>>11814239If you can, track down Thrilling 30 Arcee. Leagues better than 86 or ER
>>11814327why he look like a fat fuck
>>11814608Floro Dery liked em bigHe liked em plumpy
>>11814579i dont care for the black parts
Got Powerglide for free in some shipping mishap (was supposed to get Razorclaw). I hate to day this, but I don't really like it. The robot mode looks ok, ut he looks so angry, the connection of the wings foe both modes are awful, and the vehicle mode feels like a joke. I get that they're going for animation accuracy but thr vehicle didn't need to be 100% accurate to the weird looking A 10 from the show. Paint the full cockpit and move the engines higher.
>>11814645Forgot to add, the joint used to position the engine for both modes is very annoying, the inner joint is tight, but the external part of the joint isn't pinned, so it slips out very easily.
>>11814645>>11814657He's mad because Optimus said he's not allowed to fuck human women. I don't disagree with any of that though, especially the bit about the engines slipping off too easily. That happened so many times the first time I transformed him that I've just been letting him sit in alt because I don't want to deal with that again.
>>11814230Since G2 comics in 90s.
>>11814366>螢幕擷取畫面
>>11814673The bit that annoys me is, they gave him this backpack piece, but they didn't design it to help lock the wings in place in any mode.
>just wanted bombshell with the Grey chest>options are the mtmte insecticon pack with the awful white>DCS insecticons that includes 3 figures I don't wantI hate buying this. It's going to be even worse when they fleece me with that Red Alert Minicon pack.
>>11814321We have gotten non main cast beast wars. They're usually just repaints except for the fossilizers but still.>America Freedom bird totally all new character >All the fossilizers>Antagony >Razorclaw (Tigerhawk repaint)>Doublepunch >Skywasp>Nightprowler>The Naruto frog and Naruto>Jurassic park set with theniguanodon And all the Japanese BW shit that has nothing to do with the original Beast Wars and we didnt even get it here
>>11814702I forgot Twrecks and Transmutate (I dont really count her as a core character she's in one episode and dies lol)
>>11814702We got Sandstorm, not Double Punch
>>11814148and I like dragons, but when I see like, some doofy thing from a baby show where the dragon is teardrop-shaped with tiny wings, that ruins it.This isn't that bad, but it's not good.>>11814183Oh, that explains why I never noticed that before. okay thanks, but...the fact that they move down to his flanks in a vain attempt to make the gorilla mode somehow different from the robot mode.. the hands switch out but they're still tiny, only switching so they can face the other way.. The ape legs are clearly stubs, no sign of toes, the surfboard is gappy and it makes terrible, spindly, gappy robot mode legs. and this is just me but I really, really prefer a larger gorilla head on any kinda gorilla. Like if anything, exaggerate its size, because that huge head is part of what makes it unique among apes.
>>11814154I'm with you on it being a bad idea to redo it with the same characters, since they wouldnt be able to get the same actors anyway and like why retread itHOWEVER, i'd rather see a beast wars redo than another G1 redo. Also, I'd rather see a Beast Machines total remake/overhaul/teardown where we just say that was a bad energon hallucination and what actually happened is this this this, and make it tie in with japanese beast wars, then do more like THOSE. where they have some old molds, some new, new fun ideas.. ideally 2d animated but I won't kid myself..I mean we could also try to do Transtech but I think that was pretty meh
>>11814175>I've seen lots of calls for a new dinobot or a new Cheetor. The ones we have aren't perfect but they're pretty decent and you have lots of options to choose from already.there's like, one each. flawed, but not terrible.cheetor needs an expanding upper chest and some way for his cheetah head to split and become proper pecs , and dinobot needs his beast mode tweaked considerably
>>11814204Japanese love to gamble
>>11814702>>11814716>>11814749yeah this is good, but to me it's not enoughit's enough to completely fill my shelves, though, so I won't complain if my wallet gets a rest for a while.
>>11814777When I see your posts I want to cut your hands off because of how autistic and recognizable your posting style is and annoying you are. You're worse than a redditor where it feels like you cant say the most innocuous bullshit without walls and walls and walls of essay posting rambling go fuck yourself.
>>11814321>t the main cast of Beast Wars matters... to HasbroWe got tons of non show characters reissued I the vintage line too bad thoss fuckers were cheap and didnt even give Retrax all his bug legs and a lot if them had quality issues. I think we're getting Cybershark from Skybyte too?
>>11814792Hey. Pally.I ACKNOWLEDGED that I've harped on it before, but the conversation continued. You think I'm not aware this is unpleasant to read? It's unpleasant to type, too.Last you'll hear from me on the subject. I can't go back to the 90s and change it. I also acknowledged tons of people like it, so calm both your left and right tits.
>Last day to pre-order Nemesis Star Convoy on Pulse.Ugh, I could wait for a better deal, but figures like this tend to get more expensive later. I really wish the US didn't decide to bomb the economy for the lols.
End of G1 Universe, Liege Maximo's ambition, part 1.On Junkion, Gigastorm, after imbibing a large amount of Angolmois Energy (gathered by the Seacons and given up by the Cyborg Beasts), evolves into a new form and... births a "little brother" of his own, Terastorm. He wishes to be like his own big brother, Galvatron, strong and protective of his new younger brother.
>>11814862After their failure to stop Nemesis Star Convoy, Dark Amber Leo Prime also ends up at Junkion with Bluebolt and Untite. The planet, now under the control of Prime Leader Liege Maximo, has been established as the only region in the universe where Angolmois Energy is still legal after Liege Maximo alone opposed Megatronus the Fallen Prime's Anti-Angolmois Energy Act. As such, it's become a haven for ruffians like the current Predacons and the native Junkions, who all use Angolmois Energy as currency. Dark Amber, still hurt from his fight with his interuniversal counterpart, starts bleeding Angolmois, which Bluebolt and Untite quickly take to use to purchase what they need, to the black lion's annoyance.
>>11814837It costs the same in Japan nothing to do with the US.
>>11814867Some Liegemen, led by Jhiaxus, attempt to bilk Axlegrease of all of her Angolmois Energy, claiming that the tax is now 100% of such profit. Dark Amber Leo Prime intervenes, daring the tax collectors to take his 100% Angolmois form, although Gigastorm quickly shows up before the Liegemen can respond and sends them fleeing.
>>11814873Dark Amber "remembers" the giant former Predacon and how he transformed into a dinosaur after bathing in the Angolmois Energy of Gaia while desiring to be strong like Galvatron (but Untite is annoyed his boss doesn't remember doing to the same to him). Lio Convoy reveals himself from within his darker counterpart and they all settle in to catch up. Sharing drinks with Halfshell, Lio Convoy is introduced to Terastorm and he remarks on his similarity to his son, Lio Junior, who he believes is on Junkion.
Dude is literally just reposting the manga pages with the tfwiki summary, what a loser
>>11814875Gigastorm, regretful of his previous lack of fraternal support and still pining after his "big bro", asks Lio Convoy why he didn't expel Unicron from Galvatron while he attacked Cybertron and restore him to life.At the Liegemen's castle, the Liege Maximo chews out his troops for not bringing back enough Angolmois Energy.
>>11814877Explains to his bound fellow Prime Leaders (who also fled to Junkion after Nemesis Star Convoy took over Cybertron) that he opposed Megatronus's anti-Angolmois efforts to ensure its passing and set up his special administrative zone to lure all possessors of Angolmois Energy to one place. Thanks to Lio Convoy bringing information of Unicrons across the multiverse and with Nemesis Star Convoy on the way with his huge stockpile of Angolmois Energy, the Liege Maximo seeks to use a Multiverse Space Bridge to merge all Unicrons into one.>>11814876Unfortunately, this is literally the best we got, translator for these doesn't know any japanese. The summary is unironically more accurate.
>>11814880From there, the dying G1 World can be remade into a singular, universal Unicron to consume the rest of the multiverse in perpetuity as an eternal, immortal universe. One step towards this is the resurrection of this world's Unicron and the Liege reveals a chamber with Galvatron's shadow within it...
All this talk of TM Primal, I had to sketch something up.Pretty rough and would require the beast mode thighs to have huge knee joints in them, but
>>11814883So on this chapter:-Several figures don't seem to be following toy scale, Trashmaster seems to be old G1 scaled, Nexus is larger than leader scale and Liege Maximo is as big as he was in the G2 comic.-Gigastorm spent most of BWII trying to kill his brother Galvatron, with his brother unaware of this for most of the show. Upon finding out Galvatron loses all love for his brother, which finally makes him live up to his dream of a united Decepticon team that care for each other as real comrades, and not just backstabbing asholes.-Liege Castle resembles the Nemesis from BWII, officially, it got the name before the g1 Decepticon ship. Considering it's main function was stealing energy from planets and destroying them...-BW Neo established that the Galvatron we see is actually an energy form taken by Unicron's spirit with the use of Angolmois Energy, which is why there was no saving Galvatron there.
>>11814900And on a minor note, the Seacons appear in their Selects bodies, not the originals. This technically doesn't make sense, since the end of thay plot line would establish that everyone involved from the G1 world would forget everything that happened, with everything going back to normal (except Unicron, who gets blasted right into dust and sent to the Triple-Z point). So they shouldn't be in these bodies and Lobclaw should be dead (in the same vein, the Turtler forgets his awakening into a good guy, loses his upgrades and would die to Dai-Atlas a few years later)..., but I guess they could have found some Angolmois later?
>>11814869>It costs the same in JapanNo it fucking doesnt
>>11814869No, with exchange rates, it should still be notably lower, closer to 230, but the tariffs and shipping issues bumped it to 280. For figures announced before this went off, the prices were pretty close to estimates, but for the past few, we've gotten a bump.
>>11814701In a weird level of Hasbro giving a fuck in the wrong places, they painted Kickback's back yellow to match the animation, which the Dramatic Capture set didn't even bother with. Guess that's your bone thrown for Bombshell having mismatched hips and Shrapnel having mismatched arms.
>>11814873>LiegemenWeird but I'll use it
>>11814869>>11814913Takara price: $240Hasbro price: $270It’s not that bad of a difference, but it still seems unnecessary
>>11814945Apparently, the Cybertronian Empire goes by a different name in Japan. They're doing a minor plot about them in some mp bios.
>big threat to the multiverse is a boomer who wants to reboot back into his preferred status quo while destroying other takeshmn
>>11814954That's the fun part, they all want tl fuck it up in different way:-Shockblast will destroy everything-Doubleface and Noisemaze want to dominate everything with Unicrons-Liege Maximo wants to save the Universe will fucking over everything else.
>>11814924it's like how takara's blackarachnia deco is more accurate by slightly changing the width of stripes n shit, but they also used a more greenish gold on her that does not fit
>>11814618Then get the Takara version.
>>11814941>>11814940very nice amount of paint
>>11814941I'm glad some people will get to enjoy this line, I just wish the Optimus had been in blue and black like the old Powered Convoy version or the Amazon Prime mock up.
The AOTP Megazarak pics make me question how hasbro does their toys. So they based the colors on the art, and the metallic light blue paint reflects that... but they didn't use a metallic blue plastic for the arms or feet why?
>>11814941okay that decepticon guy is pretty sick
>>11815045>>11815072I'm actually kinda stoked on proper pictures of Megatron and OptimusDo I *need* a fourth(?) Siege Megatron? NoBut in a sick purple deco? Maybe
>>11815090Hehehe. Is like benis.
>>11814883FOR FUCKSAKES TAKARAGive us that Lawbhammer already!
>There are people who actually think these look better than the Earthrise seekersSo glad I didn't fall for it again.
>>11815110Now those are sleek looking robots.
>>11814007No Giant Purple Griffin makes me sad.
>>11815110-Solid transformations-Good proportions-Have all the articulation you could ask for-head is molded in the correct color so no worries about paint chipping if you put a crown on or transforming it.-Proper orientation for the null rays, which most previous seekers struggled withThe negatives are:-Full on cartoon likeness. I'd rather kt have slightly more detail, but I can live with this.-Painted forearms (all of them use the color of the head for them, so only those with black forearms will be molded in the correct color) so you have to be careful when transforming them to jet mode.-Null rays are also painted
>>11815110My last shit looks better than the Earthrise Seekers, and these sure do too. Just look at Starscream's chad grin.
>>11815125>>11815110Meanwhile the ER Seekers: -Null Rays in the proper colors-A jet mode that's closer to how it should look.Meanwhile, the negatives:-A head that will chip if you transform it or put the crown on-Terrible articulation-Horrible proportions that make it look like a box with arms and legs, being less impressive than the classic seeker despite being an update.-A ridiculous amount of detail on the chest.-Those weird turbine feet that aren't accurate to anything.Like, I get if the cartoon asthetic doesn't appeal to, but you're delusional if you think these are better than anything. You might as well track the classic seeker if you want something decent.
The only goof thing about the ER Seekers was that you could buy the 86 Coronation Starscream foe cheap and pass around the cape and throne for other figures. Seriously, I bought 3 for 5 bucks each.
>>11815090needs big torpedo tits
>>11815125To add to the negatives that seamline on the legs is ungodly, the feet like to pop out and they still have that fucking hole in the undercarriage of the jet
>>11815110I have no problem with these molds, but I just can't go though it all again. How many versions of these guys do I need?
>>11815085>Siege head>Miner chest and shouldersAt least he appears to be a remix of the previous versions.
Looking at some of older toys online, I'm really hoping we get some rereleases. Inferno, Huffer, Smokescreen, and Runamuk would be nice.
>>11815146>Feet like to pop offNever had this issue with both my copies>SeamlineMeh, even high end figures end up with those issues, I barely noticed it on Thundercracker and it only stands out on the purple paint on Skywarp.
>>11815159At this point, we're more likely to get new releases for Grapple and Inferno than a re-release and wirh both Prowl and Bluesgreak getting non-vlear platinum releases, Smokescreen shouldn't be far behind.
>>11815163Studio Series Grapple, coming soon.
>>11815172Yeah, I know he's in the movie. Not that it matters because even the mainline has turned into SS 2.0 with the current releases.
Anyone know which G1 screenshot they used as reference for AOTP Powerglide's face? He looks angry as hell.
>>11815193The very first cartoon screen cap on the wiki has him mad, and the scene where he opens his chest also made him look angry.
>>11815110The only one I plan on getting from this mold is Sunstorm, otherwise I'm fine with my Earthrise and Siege guys. I really don't like how bland they look - yeah, the cartoon really didn't give them much in the way of detail, but that doesn't mean it looks good in toy form.
>>11815110A better mold than ER in every way except for overly smooth robot detailing. Siege Starscream is still undefeated.
>>11815211It's not overly smooth at all.
>>11815172>Grapple in 86 MovieI'd love a 2.0 in the same vein that the Seekers got. Make him a mini Masterpiece and have the boom collapse into his back to hide it.
>>11815234The new one? It absolutely is. While I didn't care for Siege's excessive greebling, this new mold has the exact opposite problem - without at least some sort of detailing, it just looks cheap.>But it's true to the cartoon!The cartoon looked like shit.
>>11815273It's got enough detailing for me. We're finally back to how toys used to be detailed.
in fairness, the real thing is pretty smoov
>>11815090Chest kinda nicerNot a fan of the rest. Most of the Primes have Ball joint hands. So I wish somebody would make hinged hands to swap inFor now she's pretty solid to me>>11815110I get it's cope or a troll post but come on
>>11814888Not one reply? Really? Would have expected at least a "you suck, your design would never work"
Thunderwing is 100% Marks fault
>>11815278Not at all - just look at the picture you posted. You can see the individual panels and rivets all over that thing.
>>11815280You suck. Your design would never work.
>>11815285I guess. But they're pretty shallow. If you scaled that down on the toy, it'd be like the impression of a hair.>>11815287Thank you.
>>11815211>>11815273Naw, I disagree. In my opinion, I think the new SS86 seeker's smooth robot detailing looks sleek and strikes a great balance. ER was still too greebly. Even though it wasn't nearly as bad as Siege, there were still parts of it, such as the arms, that looked like some kid chewed up a pencil, or the crotch plate which has all these random circles for no reason. But I suppose it's all up to individual taste, so at least everyone has options for what they prefer.
>>11815301at the very least, I think some could agree that a sleek, smooth air-or-waterformer makes more sense than a smooth tank-or-construction-machineformer.
>>11815314Some are fucking wrong.
>Never had an Armada toy in my life despite watching the show as a kid >Scavenger looks cool>Find out he has a cool repaint and decide this is the mofo I want to get to deal with a shit childhood lol>Click some random review>He keeps calling this thing a she>Check tfwiki >ASK VECTOR PRIME'DI get not wanting to have a sausage party. I get fembot love. I eve get liking snoo snoo amazonian fembots like Strika. Hell Japan made Megaempress who was cute and Animated had a few cute rule 63s.. But jesus fuck the wiki peoole always pick the most manly and/or ugly fuckers possible god damn.
>>11815343Making random repaints of guys fembots is already bad but holy fuck, not like this
I havent bought transformers in years but I just bout Venom because he looks cool. Are the other Insecticons easy to find now or am I screwed? Especially the 2 that go with him. Ill look it up anyway but Im abo
>>11815347The Ask Vector Prime was hosted by this girl... whyd they gender swap Astrotrain(Spacewarp??) too....
>>11815347This is literally the most manly face a Trandformer has ever had. Not even Japan can save this one like Yellow Splendid Convoy
>>11815348I was able to get Barrage and Chopshop around this time last year for a discount, but that was before Venin got announced and I think they became harder to come by afterward. You're extra fucked if you want Ransack, because he was a four pack exclusive that only goes for rape prices now.
>>11815350Only a Mad man would try.
>>11815354How the fuck did you find that so fast?
>>11815354Holy shit there's more. This lil guy gets to literally ride Treadbolt all day...cause he fits in her cockpit. What a lucky guy.
>>11815354>>11815359Gonna be real: wouldn't kick her out of bed.
>>11815360I want her to step on me now
>>11815281Who the hell is complaining about thunderwing?
For those hoping DNA would make an Armada Sideways kit, they decided fixing the feet was more important, and won't make new heads. Guess I can safely pass on it.
>>11815371Why not wait for a normal release in a year or a coronation version?
Think we’ll get the next HasLab today?
>>11815462Bleh
>>11815362This is the worst Unicron Trilogy moldI can't think of a worse example of a robot mode being completely ruined by a gimmick that literally nobody cares aboutEven as a kid I was mad that such a cool character got such a shit toy
So it today's stream just going to be showing the toys we've seen over the last few days?
>>11815466Sideswipe is up there imo
>>11815343Ugh, you know, Chud, women come in all shapes, like, you know, I can't even...
>>11814237that's not a big gun, just an arm laser thing.
>>11815348I wonder what character could be retooled from Venon
>>11815486Black and white same character redeco? Alternatively they could make a new guy who is designed to go with Bombshell/Kickback/Shrapnel.
Are there even five autobots and five decepticons who have sea-based alt-modes? No maximals or predacons, no minicons, autobos and decepticons only.
>>11815523The Seacons, Submarauder, Finback, pic relatedAutobots have Longtooth, Waverider, Splashdown, Seaspray and I guess Broadside sorta counts since he has an aircraft carrier mode
>>11815529Oh yeah and there was also that one rescue team Micromaster who turns into a boat
>>11815523>>11815529this is a submarine
>>11815523BroadsideWaveriderSplashdownSeawatchPower Run and StrikedownSubmarauderFinbackFlattopThunderblastShortroundThe Seacons
>>11815343It's just a example of "well, the bio doesn't actually call them a guy, so let's pad out out the girls a bit". Except in this case Treadbolt had no bio whatsoever. This has been happening long before AVP.
>>11815535>FlattopI was thinking of mentioning him but does he really count since he only turns into a jet?He just comes with a vehicle that turns into an aircraft carrier.
>>11815546He still uses it.and is named for it.
>>11815523Would Skullcruncher count?
I never ordered at TFsource before. How reliable are their preorders? I want that set of Chop Shop and Barrage I missed out one?
>>11815564Whoops, typo.
>>11815565Giving Lugnut tits is crazy
>>11815573Apparently Hasbro thought the same, hence why she’s named Clobber, in order to maker her a technically different character
>>11815573Is it? Look at those pointy nips
>>11815576at least there's TR Clobber.
>3 slots taken up by the star saber redeco$80
>>11815565>>11815573>>11815576i'm ok with them making Clobber her own character, they did stuff with her that i think would've been sacrilige if it was Lugnut,
>>11815590considering that voyagers are $43 USD, and they're asking 80, its a good deal.
>>11815593I agree the price is pretty reasonable but I feel burned by the three wasted slots.
>>11815590Dammit, I want thosse minicons, but I really don't care about Red Alert recolor.
>>11815597I think he looks better than I was expecting. I could use him as a separate character.
>>11815590I do wish it wasn't the Vorpal Saber but I'm ok with the rest I guess. Old Sparkplug alone is like $20 on the aftermarket.
There's no point in including Swindle when the Armada Starscream remake has absolutely no pegs or holes to use with a minicon.
>>11815590jesus christ that sparkplug is terrible
>>11815590Also Swindle means they have Skyboom Shield in the works, right? Who will they be packed with?
>>11815602Is it?
>>11815602All minicons are terrible.
>>11815597Sword repaint sucks but I'm still happy, that red alert deco was the one I had as a kid.I wonder how Swindle will attach to Starscream with no port and what, if any, pretooling he has for the shield.
Imagine being Hasbro and having to follow up a Nintendo direct.
>>11815607>imagine being a book dealer and having to follow up cinemaconThis is you right now, neither has anything to do with the other.
>>11815607Considering I don't care about Nintendo Direct...
>>11815590when does this drop?
>>11815600The previous redone minicons have male pegs so they can plug into any of the 5mm ports, nuSwindle is probably the same.
>>11815609Just look at the chat at Hasbro Pulse. Multiple people brought up just watching the previous.
>>11815532It looks more like a yacht.
>>11815616Can you stop being subhuman for one minute?
>>11815618No.
>>11815590Might buy it to customize it into a fat titty fembot
>>11815603OG Swindle and Mirage are actually completely different molds, they just just look alike. Mirage even has an extra waist joint to add a transformation step.
>>11815620You always say it, but never do it.
>>11815622This is known but you can't expect modern hasbro to look at these and not reuse the molds
>>11815482The big gun is HIMSELF, dumdum. That's the joke.
>Pointblank has solid chest nowCAN YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DO IT FROM THE START, SRSLY.
>>11815625Wouldn't shield guys have gang-molding?
>>11815607The Direct sucked dick so no issues
Swindles back is cavernous
>>11815607>Imagine sucking Nintendos dick so hard
>Army building a leader-classMark please.
>>11815640Overcharge already happened.
>>11815640Buddy, they already released an army building Titan
>>11815590I'll take it for the Swindle and the Saber.Also since I don't know much about modern Minicons, are they larger or smaller than the originals?
CYCLONUS AND DEMOLISHOR CONFIRMED ON STREAM
>>11815634Nintendo's best offerings are port begging and unneeded remakes. It is best to just play the games you bought already.
>>11815650About the same size, maybe a little larger.
>>11815650Same height but chunkier
>>11815590I'll trade the dark saber minicons for a Jolt. I missed out and I want him.
>>11815590>fragile dark saber miniconsUgh. I wish we got some better minicons, but I can't say I'm surprised they're getting redecos here.Sparkplug and Leader-1 look nice at leastWas Powerlinx Red Alert always so fucking ugly?
Didn't they already do a rerelease of the movie?
>>11815651Funny that some of the best things we've gotten this stream were verbal mentions, this and more minicons confirmed.Wonder what redecos we'll see of these two idiots down the line and if they will come packed with the minicons as voyagers seeing as the gimmicks are pretty core to the designs, hell i'd pay leader price for cyclonus with the destruction team.
Here's your Missing Link at home.
Jem and the Holograms, ruined by Kiss Players. HASBRO!!!
Here's your Kiss Players at home
>Rosanna, Glit, and Sundor are SDCC exclusiveslol
>>11815670Gotta say...I'm tempted.
These fucking people need to move on from G1.
>Kiss Playerslmao, some people are gonna be so mad
>>11815682To be fair, the cassettes (and to a lesser extent the Egg Beasts) are the parts of Kiss Players that most people tend to like
When's Misfits? Their music is better.
>>11815686>>11815682Legion figure when?
No Space Bridge... Guess we wait in another toy convention...
>>11815689The original was based on a Windcharger, so I'd assume soonish.
>>11815682Sundor was in an English retail release over a decade ago, it's fine.Also, the trio are from Kiss Players Position, which was AFTER the original naked loli makeouts Kiss Players.
trash stream, nothing but repaints yet again
>>11815695I could have sworn they will release these fuckers in New Legends first. Just to ruin all the fun and peaceful life the Kiss Players got.
It's kino I fear
>>11814792>When I see your posts I want to cut your hands off because of how autistic and recognizable your posting style is and annoying you are.Kek I thought I was the only one, there's so many fucking annoying autistic posters on here who aren't overtly offensive, but something about their posting style and their constant insisting of ways they could improve things and nitpicking just comes off as a Dunning–Kruger case.Pretty sure the same poster claims he's an artist or has art skills but has never posted anything.
>>11815706That's Blaster. I think all the neon lighting Jem and the Holograms got is what painted him. Still, the fact that people will bother getting this more because of the Position cassettes over the cereal box Optimus and Jazz with a trailer launcher is gonna be the most ironic thing we'll ever see. Hey, expect Japan to release this in T-SPARK Zone or Takara Tomy Mall because they know those people will get it because of Kiss Players.
>>11815706It's just the colors of the main girls. Hopefully we get a Soundwave version that's neon green, blue, purple and white
>>11814702>And all the Japanese BW shit that has nothing to do with the original Beast Wars and we didnt even get it hereThe thing is, those were on a TV show, and Hasbro's MO is to prioritize media, no matter how obscure, over toy only stuff. G1 Cartoon>Movie>every other cartoon>comicHasbro will choose to make Tasmania Kid over Snarl because TK was in animation, even though the toys themselves are the same.
>>11815639I love Mini-Cons. Red Alert is cool but he didnt need to be here. If I get this Dark Saber is going straight to Megazarak. >>11815702This is pretty incredible. That other exclusive is cool too. A full line of G1 toy inspired figures would be unbelievable. Would definitely collect them all.
>>11815702This will be the first collab item I'll actually buy.
>>11815639Hey look it's the stuff that should have been core class
Marc being open to doing OC Combaticons has me intrigued, something like a gunboat could be coolArmada Starscream being a partial off Reactivate Starscream was a surprise>>11815702Loving the continued song and dance (pun intended) around mentioning Kiss PlayersIt's like, they know that we know that they know that we know
>>11815590dark saber shouldve came with nemesis, fuck me double dipping already
Deceptanons, we're under attack! Scramble!
>>11815732Nice, have you tried putting the armor on him yet?
>>11815736>11815732the remolding means you can't put the shoulder armor on him.
>>11815357Anon, any masculing TF toy that's even so much as called a fembot is gonna inevitably have fanart of them with big fucking tits soon.
>>11815372I'll take that I guess, the feet look really ugly and ive seen that moving them upright looks way better. Don't Dna's minifigs also suck? It's be nice if another company stepped up to do them...
>>11815741what am i supposed to be looking at here
>>11815746Presumably the shared pelvis between Screamers.
All I want is PM Optimus Prime as he looked in Marvel comics, and I will give Hasbro my firstborn.(I'm never having children)
I will go to my grave thinking of Shockwave and his tiny gun of himself.>>11815736Oh, you.>>11815738I think he was making a joke about the argument that triggered last thread.
>>11815728I enjoy it because I know somewhere some wikifag is fucking fuming that they'd even allude to kiss players
>>11815748But what 'scream is that on the right? TFO?
>>11815773Reactivate.
>>11815748why is that noteworthyshared parts have been happening for nearly a decade now
>>11815754They allude to Kiss Players all the fucking time, just usually not so overtly with "KP".
>>11815784Hell, they actively mentioned Kiss Players when talking about the Autotrooper's alternate head
>>11815754This guy's tentacles were named after the penis-tongue guys from Kiss Players... by the AVP guy!
>>11815788forgot pic
Ya alright I love this kit. Imo the altmode looks way better with the new feet.
>>11815783It was mentioned on the stream. Apparently it kept the costs down on Armada Starscream.
>>11815784nta but this is the first time they put the name on anything(albeit an abbreviation) to my knowledge at least. I've never understood the seethe from troons over KP.
>>11815793still doesn't make it noteworthy
>>11815799>I've never understood the seethe from troons over KP.you've never actually looked at it, have you
>>11815800None of this shit matter to begin with.
>>11815803...yes, anon, that's the point i'm making
>>11815806so there is no reason to separate things into noteworthy and not noteworthy.
>>11815783It's noteworthy because it flew under the radar of everyone. Mold reuse and retools are always super obvious, so Legacy Armada Starscream being given the green light because it was designed with mold reuse in mind yet nobody noticing is unusual.
Oh, an actual good sale on Pulse, and Nucleon Quest Convoy is in it!>Sells out in while checking out.Of course.
>Stunticon multipack I didn't even know about sold out instantlyOkay, I officially need to just give up on ever getting Menasor in G1 colors.
So the bad news on the minicon pack. Swindle is gang molded with Sparkplug so he's yellow and almost entirely painted over. Meanwhile, Red Alert's minicon is white, painted black.
>>11815831Meh. I'm in this for Sparkplug and Leader 1 anyway.
>UK got price increases on everythingSo much for le orange man tariff excuse
>>11815819This sale is supposed to last 40 days and everything basically sold out in one day
>>11815783>>11815800It's a new crumb of trivia for a fanbase as autistic as this oneThe noteworthier part is that it's years old and no one discovered it
>>11815819>Armada Nemesis Prime and Star Saber is still $90 Fuck, will that go on sale already? At least the Red Alert and 8 Minicons pack’s pricing is reasonable.
>>11815831Option inaccurate Mirage, just add paint remover
>>11815821yeah never heard he was going back up. I have the legacy version but I'd sell it for the more toy accurate colors
>>11815831So they've done them in pairs then? That explains the blue boom for Longarm and how the pack seems a decent price.
>>11815792>No fixes for miniconsI can't be that mad since the Sideways upgrades are sublime, but damn.
Damn, Missing Link Arcee was on sale and I missed it
>>11815318you dont think a dump truck guy should be greeblier than a submarine guy?
>>11815802I'm not triggered by loli shit, faggot. It even has the best representation of Cyclonus in it.
>>11815343that's how you know no women are involved or pleased by these decisions, except maybe massively ugly ones.
>>11815634that's not 'imagine' that's 'remember'remember before they sucked ass, when they actually rocked the ass? it wasn't that long ago
>>11815896>>11815897I know it’s a coincidence, but it’s always funny to me how edgy posts like these always get posted one right after the other
>>11815792Seems like third party also sucks at researching because these new feet are wrong.
>>11814333We are getting a Torca from the Big Convoy mold. Gonna be announced at this year's Botcon.
>>11815898>when they actually rocked the ass? it wasn't that long agoIt was over 20 years ago now.
I wonder whats up with that Jazz. Bigger than Core, but not Deluxe. That a new size they're doing or something?
I like Evil Robot Spock overall. Lightpiping on the eye looks fantastic and I actually don't mind the backpack as much as I thought I would. I think my biggest gripe with him is probably the same as everyone else's, which is that he's too small. I'm normally not someone that complains about scale (especially in a series that was inconsistent about it as G1), but Shockwave needs to be in the same weight class as Megatron and Soundwave. Also, his submarine mode somehow ended up upside down in this last shot. Don't worry about it.
>>11815905neither of those is the slightest bit edgy to my eyes, but timing is indeed funny.
>>11815910no that was when they RULED ass.they continued to rock for a while longer, albeit with some bumps. It was one thing to make those mistakes once, now they're making them again which is unforgivable. zero lessons were learned.
>>11815914I don’t know what the proper word for them would be, I just always noticed those kinds of posts tend to happen in groups
>>11815919well I don't approve of them being mindlessly labeled 'based' eitherI feel like some things can be left without epithet, and simply labeled 'regular.'
>>11815466Nah, it's a fantastic toy. The sounds, working treads and walking gimmick are all fun as fuck
>>11815905Is it not just the anon with the wiki fixation?
>>11815792A shame they used a fan design, instead of the actual design from the show.
>>11815929it absolutely is. dude has issues.
>>11815897Good, I want this franchise to stay based.
>menasor restock out of nowhereI missed it...
>>11815941okay but if regular women WERE involved, we'd have the occasional cute transformers and nothing else would be ruined.
>>11815911That's the new deluxe size$32.99
>>11815958That cheap? Damn, gonna make me feel, like I'm stealing from Hasbro.
>>11815912Its kinda dumb that they got the gun barrel color right but forgot to color the grey grips on his boots this time.
>>11815639not enough.where's Ramjet, and Drill Bit, and Clench, and Yellow Jolt. HUUUUUUUHHH?
>>11815968I get the feeling this is only the first of several Mini Con packs.
>>11815970you give Hasbro (aka Captain Blueball) too much credit
>>11815970Not even sure I want them like this. Being forced to buy recolors just to get more cassettes or minicons is fucking cancerous.
>>11815975Hasbro butters their plain bread with delicious pain.
>>11815977I'd probably be less hesitant if it actually included something neat like one of the good repaints. Powerlink Starcream? Yes pleas. If you're forcing recolors you might as well pick good ones, or they could sell the cassette or minicons with no bulks, they always fucking sell out there so I don't understand why they need to do this.
>>11815991But they know they'll already make money on the Starscream repaint without miniconcs Gotta make the money back on the Red Alert mold somehow
>>11815991They already did Powerlinx Starscream, it was a Transformers Tokyo Expo exclusive
>>11816001We never got it released by Hasbro, that was a Takara product.
>Red Alert set was originally 70.>The Prime/Jazz was originally priced at 75 and might be higher on release>Blasters was 60There we go.
>sleep through preorder window, Swindle already sold out at pulse>sleep through sale window, turns out they had a pretty good selection of stuff, already sold outI knew I should have had a proper night's sleep
>>11815702Hey, the Eject mold does have guns after all.
>>11816011On the new minicon molds, they seem a bit more limited, and unlike the previous sets, seem closer to micromasters:-Swindle has a latch and peg combo on his back, peobably so he can actually go on staracream.-Longarm is white, completely painted over, ditto for Swindle-i can't make out 5mm pegs for either Sparkplug or Longarm, I can assume Sparkplug fake cheat flips up to reveal it, but I can't tell where Longarm has his.
>>11816032You didn't miss much, they fucked up and almost everything good sold out because they started the sale before the stream ended, so most of the good stuff was gone by the time preorders went up. I lost out on a cheap Nucleon Quest Super Convoy and will probably be pissed about it for a week.
>>11816044>Swindle has a latch and peg combo on his back, peobably so he can actually go on staracreamHe does, they said some minicons have unique connections when necessary to fit their partners.
>>11816056Longarm seems weird because I can't make out anything and he goes right on Red Alert's hood.
>>11816058Oh, I think I know what they did, but I hope I'm wrong. He has a 3mm connection, and RA has a few on his back for his arm attachments. Kind of sucks since this means he can only go on RA.
>>11815639>pre-ordered this homoYes, I'm Hasbro's prison bitch
>>11815639$80 to get this fucker who should have came with megatron
>>11815540I said I get it. Do you know what a sausage party is?
>>11815466I know it looks kind of shit like a walking brick but I want it really badly for some reason and I dont know why.
Surprised nobody's mentioned the little chudlet jazz
>>11815911>>11816155Oh my bad lmao, still surprised there were no pics posted here.
>>11816155>chudletWhen did we get invaded by tumblr/twitter. I swear I dont even see that word as much on the parts of websites I go to than I have today on toy
>>11815352Thanks for the help. I think I Venom has my favourite design and colors anyways outside of the original 3 black and purple and yellow guys.
>>11815939But enough about (you).
>>11816158Eh I remember chud that word being popular years ago, guess it's finally out of style now huh?
>>11815896Wait, Cyclonus was in Kiss Players? I think this was the first I've heard this! Was he in the manga, or the audio drama?
>>11816193all neologisms are manufactured now, they don't have the kind of roots that naturally-developed language has. It's like force-ripening tomatoes in a greenhouse.
>>11815639Woah where can i order this? It on amazon?
>>11815590>>11815594They had to do the Vorpal Saber, though - one thing people were complaining about was that the Armada Nemesis they released came with the wrong Star Saber (this was before the design flaw with Jetstorm was known, which quickly became the bigger complaint). On that note, I wonder if Skull buster is going to have the same breakage issue, or if they bothered to fix it this time around.

>>11816047Shame, I would have got the Dinobots. I've got both G2 Grimlocks now but I of course miss the one chance to get him some G2 Dinobot companions for cheap.
>>11816155Missing Link at home
>>11816219I got lucky and bought the whole set for less than 200, after taxes. I did get a second blue Grimlock so I'll have to figure out what to do with him.
>>11816155>this little chudlet gets his 4 but every single release of the Studio Series mold had to have 14Hasbro NEVER beating the "make it wrong on purpose" allegations
>>11816232Frank's gonna freak!
>>11816155Why does this impress me more than the 86 mold?
>>11816218Dang, do they charge right away? I usually just preorder stuff through amazon, never got any exclusives before
>>11816244Last I pre-ordered, they charged once it ships.
>>11816244>>11816246Pulse only charges when your order ships EXCEPT for HasLabs which charge the moment the successful campaign ends.
>>11816246>>11816249Oh cool, guess I'll go ahead and get it. And finally buy armada nemesis since it's still available I suppose
>>11816001Yeah but like ann actual release
>>11816216What's the breakage issue?
>>11815639No Jolt? Fuck. I hope they'll rerelease Jolt in a different way someday. Can't even find a boxed Powerlinx Hotshot on Ebay.
>>11816255Great! Now I ordered that asshole too. I hate everyone, including myself.
>>11816255Don't bother with Nemesis, it's a complete scam at 90 when Red Alert, with the same Star Saber team, costs 80 AND has 5 more minicons included.
>>11816271maybe they'll do a yellow version in a different minicon set
>>11816271They'll toss in more when they do a Powerlinx Demolishor or Optimus, I'm expecting recolors and some extra additions there. That hypothetical pack could include some of the powerlinx repaints, demolishor and Cyclonus minicons.
>>11816275NTAOf course it's a scam, but I ordered the minicon set with the evil version of the Star Saber team so now I HAD to get the normal Star Saber team or my autism would blow my head off.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2026/06/09/tf-livestream-notes-armada-cyclonus-demolishor-confirmed-unicron-details-powermasters-more-566151– Armada Cyclonus and Demolishor are confirmed to be coming at some point to finish the initial core Armada cast– More Minicons will be coming beyond the ones in the Red Alert pack– Armada Starscream was a partial of the Reactivate mold– Herald of Unicron is a combination of different Unicron incarnations – Cybertron, Marvel, etc– They know people want Unicron (and Primus) so this serves as an avatar/acolyte version– Haslab Unicron will not be re-released, but other versions of Unicron could be made and they’re asking for fan feedback on what we’d want– They want to continue using the Unicron logo for any Unicron-affiliated characters going forward– The Tailgate mold will be reused more in the future– They want to continue doing the “weird” Minibot repaints– They think it’s time to get into the Throttlebots– They want to further complete the Targetmasters– Eric Siebenaler worked on Joyride’s colors– They want to know if fans are interested in further Powermasters with Optimus specifically namedropped
>>11815639>Swindle has yellow plastic painted redWhy? Skyboom Shield confirmed? I know Mirage has a different mold that Swindle but I imagine Hasbro will repaint this Swindle mold into Mirage.
>>11816278At least wait for a sale or someone has buyers remorse when they announce an Optimus repaint, don't enable those aful hasbro practices, I'll only get worse if you do.>>11816283To save costs on molds, Longarm also got screwed over, and future minicon packs will likely share these problems.
>>11816279>–They want to continue doing the “weird” Minibot repaintsI know I know..but stillImagine
>>11816279>Armada Starscream was a partial of the Reactivate moldI thought we knew that like years ago, isn’t that why they couldnt do his wing blade? And im glad to hear the two idiots are coming but they forgot Smokescreen was part of the season one cast as well.
>>11816289It never works when you try to wait for a sale. I've been burned too many times
>>11816153nothing in my post indicated i don't know what a sausage party is
>>11816309every minibot but THAT one
>>11816232Just remove the 1 to make is a 4.>>11816155BTW, This "cereal box" set has a Jazz because there was a Jazz variant available form cereal boxes in the 80's.> This edition of the figure features modified stickers that lack all "Martinii" and "Porsche" detailing: the factory-applied door stickers (which were simply placed directly on top of the normal door stickers!) and the customer-applied stickers on the windscreen, spoiler top and sides.
>>11816269>Exercise caution when transforming him, as the rear tailfin/chest kibble uses a pinned sliding mechanism on rather thin plastic. If not slid forward all the way, leveraging it around places the joint under stress and can snap the piece off. Some samples were even broken in the package.
>>11816360spoilers are so cool. why do any cars bother to not have them
>>11816360I remember this promotion from when I was a kid but I never understood the reasoning behind it. Cookie Crisp just starting offering Jazz as a prize...for some reason.
>>11816370Well it is the only cereal I can think of with a cop mascot
Man, I can't wait for a new Demolisher and Cyclonus, specially if they also release them in their sexy Energon deco's, Energon Cyclonus has the coolest deco ever.
>>11816374What does that have to do with Jazz?
>>11816368the wind resistance trade off is usually not worth it on standard cars
>>11816377well obviously I mixed him up with Prowl. Jeez, Anon, try to keep up.>>11816388stupid physics. first it ruins my giant robots, now this.
>>11815670I'm more surprised by the where and when than the what. Like, I KNEW Rosanna, Sundor & Glit were inevitable. I KNEW they were going to be made.>>11815686Hey, the three main figures aren't bad themselves! Not that they're going to bother redoing those - we already have Autorooper and we have a gazillion Roddy & OPs if we need stand-ins.
>>11816360It's also what the cereal that the box set is a tribute to was going to have as a mail away.
>>11816390but what about the girls?
>>11816390
>>11816390I think maybe the most we'll see beyond this is, like, Generations Alternators Universe Optimus that comes with a surfboard sword
>>11816398THOSE COWARDS
>>11816398The new Twin Mill redeco is so Kiss Players Rodimus it's almost crazy
>>11816406Oh true
>>11816398You now remember the black Optimus repaint that came with a hoverboard, grind rail, and ramps for his Titan Master, SHREDDICUS MAXIMUS; and that the grind rail/ramps both attached to his base mode and transformed into a railgun for the robot mode
>>11816408
>>11816409
>>11816396So I only just now drew the connectionKISS players? The long ass tongue??Any drawfags who could give me Sundor, Glit etc made up to look like pic related?
>>11816412That's a connection you've wholly made up yourself. It's not an actual connection.
>>11816413Yeah, and I just drew it.You're welcome.
>>11816398Without the girl it's just a cool robot
>>11816408>>11816409>>11816411That is fucking awesome.
>>11816408pretty rad.>>11816412how the hell did I never pick up on that before?
>>11815670I really wish it didn't come with fucking Blaster for the 11th time. I just want the cassettes, I'm so tired of them bundling them with figures they've already released, at leasr bundle them with Soundblaster or something.
>>11816457>how the hell did I never pick up on that before?because it's not true
>>11816462Anon nobody thinks that was literally why they called it thatThe point is, there's a thing with Kiss in the name that has grotesquely long tongues in it, and at no point did I never pick up on that coincidence.
>>11816459>SDCC Hardhead and the Kiss Players vs Soundblaster and the Cobalt Sentries.Set includes:-Hardhead with newly molded bandana for the head and included an extra gun and mic.-Sundor, Glit and Rosanna-Soundblaster with new Energon axe guitar and headphones-Garboil, Flipsides and HowlbackIncludes a stand for the mic, Blaster in shrunken cassette player mode, and transforming guitar/ keytar with bonus smiling head for 86 Blaster.
Think I might get Megazarak despite passing on all Armada stuff up until now. I know there's some debate about how accurate the colors on the new one are to his previous appearances, but there's something about that deco on that mold that I really like the look of.
>>11816480They mostly based it on the artwork. That's fine, the weird thing is, the blue metallic paint they used shoulf match the color of the feet and arms, and they don't match at all.
>>11815639Why is everything about Sparkplug completely wrong? How do you fuck up such a simple design?
>>11816486They apparently wanted his chest to be smalller, so it completely changed his transformation. The joints is due to the shared parts with Leader-1
>>11816473>Hardhead and the Kiss PlayersWhy the heck would a Kiss Players set include Hardhead of all characters???
>be at Cape Town Toys r Us >Everything's like 30% to 50% more expensive back home Jesus christ should I be glad that I live in Asia?
What the fuck is with the price?
>>11816395We're gonna need T-Spark for that.Speaking of, I actually prefer the older versions of the trio. Atari's kinda perfect - she loses all her baby fat but keeps her daintiness and rocks a lab coat, all the while everything good about her design remains. Her going the scientist path is legitimately the best reuse of her character.
>>11816542Right now? Very.
>>11816536He's also a singer, they haven't really much with that. Rosanna would be headlining anyway.
>>11816536Forgot to add that the idea behind the set is a reunion/farewell tour since the Transformers were about to leave Earth after HM, and Soundblaster was canonically still around after the show ended. Blaster is still in his Twincast phase so he's in disguise and repainted himself as Blaster, Hardhead is subbing as Rosanna'a back up singer. Soundblaster crashes the concert to put on his own show, and Blaster finally transforms and confronts him in a guitar duel (the reason the set includes parts for blaster to not due another 86 Blaster release).
Tempted to get this Windcharger, but his windows are clear and I'm worried Hasbro will release an opaque version down the line.
>>11816536>>11816556>>11816560Could even go as far as giving us Windy redeco'd from Astrotrain. I mean, if we're talking fictional idols, a certain very thin and ribby one is all the rage these days so that mold works to emulate that!
>>11816140He should've released with Galvatron at least since Jolt came packed with Powerlinx Hot Shot.
>>11816395>>11816545I saw an OG kiss player at a local toy shop recently, I can only imagine what the guy running the place must have thought when someone came in to sell one of those
Fuckin price hikes in EU. Thx Trump.
>>11816279>The Tailgate mold will be reused more in the futureYeah, I have a bad feeling about this... Some random anon said they could make the Legions out of this mold, and we all know what the hell those things are, especially with the recent Kiss Players push.
>>11816679I don’t think it works like that anon
>>11816721I think he’s being sarcastic, though I guess the Strait being closed could affect plastic production given it’s made from oil
>>11816695Seems unlikely.
>>11816542Honestly yes, sometimes I feel like I should throw everything and move to Vietnam.>>11816679SMALL ONLINE TOYS SHOPS, get only fucking exclusives on Pulse.
>[spoiler]ROM[/spoiler] is in the Image comics nowHuh.
>>11816802Did they also include the guy with the giant magnet?
>>11816810Ah yes, Jim.
>>11816802Yeah and cunt is alive again
>>11816874We all knew it was coming.

>>11816937the evil Air Defense Mini-Con Team repaint may have spurned it on.
>>11816937I tried to warn you people>>11816350
>>11816951Meh, I'd rather not buy something if they're going to overcharge the hell out of me, at least Takara products have some excuse (those are standard prices for their market, which is still over priced, and they match those prices in our currency when brought over).
>>11813955thats the name of the transformr on the left and does he have a toy?
>>11816969Overgear Ironhide. He's a $120 voyager though.
>>11816970thank you very much. That's a bit too expansive for me
>>11816980>expansiveI dont think they're that big. Aren't they only, like, large voyager size?
>>11816982you forgot your dragonball gif.
>>11816980Ignore him he's retartedThey're Takara releases which is why they're near $100+ but it's basically a Diet MP. They have a ton of little details in them and look great but we'll see if that merits the price in time
>>11817006>retarted
>>11817006He is indeed $120 and practically the same height as Siege/ER Optimus, a benchmark voyager.
hello /tfg/ fathers day is coming up. Last year you recommended earthrise optimus and he loved it. do you have any recommendations? my only requirements are-medium size at least 6"-under $80-not a optimusi don't think he cares for nostalgia just as long as it looks cool. thanks all in advance
>>11816556What are you talking about? Of course they haven't done much with that, because he isn't a singer. I went digging around, and as far as I can tell, you're probably basing this off a scene from Headmasters where he does some drunken karaoke. Tons of people do that in Japan. That's more indicative of Japanese culture than of a particular character being a singer. The only other time something like this happened was in a Kre-O mini-comic where a bunch of characters got drunk, played some music, and he did karaoke again, most likely as a subtle reference to that Headmasters episode. Acting like this makes him a singer or is some established aspect of his personality, and then building an exclusive toy set around it makes no sense.
>>11817036what's your dad into? My dad liked movie Ironhide a lot.
So I got an idea. What if the weaponizer line were all insects? Not just that, but you could incorporate some minor character characters like Manterror and Jetstorm (the dragonfly one).
>get 12 of the primes because star convoy is bullshit>was going to use sentinel as the 13th, but being the betrayer of primes doesn’t really mean anything when we have to children that worship Satan so he’s just kinda there Can I get a TFOne Zeta or something.
>>11817038He also sang in his own LG comic, still more than most characters... and blasters music canonically sucked so there's that too.
>>11817065The last wave of Age of the Primes is going to have a leader figure named "New Prime". JTprime says it's going to be the Primus equivalent of this.
>>11817060Seems it would result in even more thick bugs than usual
>>11817082I’m guessing it’s going to be a Rodimus Retool to represent the Ancient Autobot from 5FoD (Guardian Prime) and the Legends version of Primus
>>11817082Wonder what would be suitable at a base. Gold Hot Rod?
>>11817096It's probably going to be something like that, but I don't know what mold it can be. They're not going to use the Kingdom Rodimus cab and this is going to release before the SS86 Commander.
Is Revenge of the Fallen 3 Pack worth it?
>>11817098>I don't know what mold it can be.They're not going to use the Kingdom Rodimus cab Why not? It's not far from what the original looked like, so it would be pretty low-effort to just repaint what they already have - which is par for the course for modern Hasbro.
>>11817120Worth what? I don't know what price you see it available for.
>>11817125Hasbro Pulse has it for 125 and TFsource has it for 104
>>11817124>they're going to include a cab from a commander-class figure for a leader figure
>>11817152They already have.
>>11817152It's already been done. Why wouldn't they do it again? It's cheaper than making a new one.
Can someone tell me if Armada Sideways's arms peg into his torso tightly? Mine peg in very loosely, but I'm not seeing any reviewer talk about this, so I'm wondering if I have the torso set weird, or if it's really just a coincidence that both arms just happen to not peg in properly.
>>11817168This is a great figure btw.
>>11817263I really don't care for it, it's overly complicated for what it is. I despite the smokestacks, insanely loose. Earthrise was a better value.
>>11817262One of mine is fine, the other arm is pretty loose.
>>11817067>blasters music canonically sucked so there's that tooTo be fair, so did Hardhead's karaoke in that one Headmasters episode.
>>11817263The battle damage is unsightly.
>>11817294reckon that's the ideaNever much cared for that kinda thing myself, but it is delivering what it promised.
>>11817281To be fair, Headmasters is usually considered one of the worst Transformers anime and better for putting people to sleep than anything else.
>>11817022That's not Siege or Earthrise OptimusHeight alone doesn't mean ClassComplexity of transformation, detailing and others factors make it definitely not a Voyager
How is cybertron sideways? He is one of my fave designs from that season. Did they do him justice? Hasbro has been pretty hit or miss lately.
>>11817365He's really good imo, does everything he needs to
>>11814002Who are some of the non-toy characters on here besides Deceptitran?
>>11817082I wonder if that’s who that weird 14th symbol, which keeps cropping up, is for?(See the middle of pic related)
>>11817376B.O.T.Shockwave's various sentinelsMegatron's troops from War DawnDr. ArkevelleAutoscoutAstrotrain's train troops from Triple TakeoverThe Centurions from The Key to Vector Sigmaalso, a bunch of guys didn't have toys at the time this was drawn such as The Rainmakers, Nightbird, The Alligatacon, Kremzeek, the Insecticon clones
>>11817382I was just going to reply,>Basically there’s Dr.Arkevelle and a bunch of different kinds of drones.Followed by this link: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Category:Generation_1_dronesand call it a day. Kudos for putting in the extra effort.
>>11814007>>11814002He did other ones.
>>11817391
>>11817393The Rebirth
>>11817391Oh I know, I actually finished coloring the season 1 Autobots awhile back. Though I’m semi redoing them with a better (still kludged) method of maintaining the ink lines.
>>11816661One of my haunts had an Atari + Autorooper, wonder if they sold it. I should ask sometime.
>>11817396nice job
>>11817396you're impressive
>>11817263I agree, love the battle damaged variation and the mold in general. Gimme my damn Magnus and Nemesis redecos already.>>11817294It's supposed to be though.
>>11816370>some reasonThe reason was that Transformers as a toyline was 'hot' (as in popular) with the kids at the time. Ralstion had a habit of doing mail-in orders for toys and stuff (anything to get kids to beg their parents to buy their gimmicky cereal) during the 80s through the early to mid 90s. Doing a cross promotion with Hasbro and giving away a figure seemed like a no-brainer.
>>11817425Fall! FALL!!!
>>11817440should have made transformers cereal, with autobot and decepticon logos in it, and hidden purple dye"Transforms your milk into ENERGON!"
>>11817452https://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers_Chocolate_Flavored_Cereal
>>11817453how the fuck have I been reading X-E, i-Mockery, and Dinosaur Dracula all these years and never heard of this? Ohhhh it never came out, I see.>chocolate, roundboyseh>transformable boxokay that's cute. So I guess that's where the Jazz was gonna come from. interesting.
>>11817456jesus christ, you type like a fuckwad
>>11817457How would you have typed it, milord?
>>11817449Damn it, anon! Look what you did!
>>11817365Major improvement is the joints being tighter and more durable than the old one.
>>11817396How did you manage to paint everyone so perfectly but swap Optimus upper arms and torso stripe colors? Just seems impossible to me!
>>11817491I've definitely made that kind of stnank beforeone of the many reasons I don't like drawing characters clustered together. especially boxy robots. you go in like 'oh right gotta make those two random rectangular areas light gray' and then you accidentally get the rectangles next to them
>>11817425>>11817478
>Get Kranix today>My autistic passion is recreating shots from the source material with the appropriate toys>Hasbro has apparently decided to DMCA all YouTube videos featuring clips of The Movie, forcing me to que up my Blu-ray rip whenever I need visual referencesSpare me this mockery of justice!
>>11817501what chumbuckets.
>>11817496He was warned, but the turbo revvin' young punk just wouldn't listen...>>11817504I'm going to assume it's tied to the theatrical rerelease of the movie in some way, but it's still stupid and annoying. And it's kind of hilarious considering how often Hasbro pulls from YouTube clips themselves for these things, to the point that the video progress bar shows up in the stills on the backs of some of the Studio Series boxes.
>>11817501They better have an apology tour for that!
>>11817396Where’s Lancer?
>>11817440I mean it was odd that it was specifically Jazz and no one else. Like they were sitting on a load of his figures in a warehouse or something.
>>11817501Wonder if they'll do Arblus. Seems like a no brainer for a retool, but who knows.Fairly sure Old Guy is out of luck
>>11817689
>>11817689They 100% will because Arblus was also designed to transform
>>11817689>>11817718Multipack fodder
Got him out of the box and I'm loving the way he looks. I'll post some more pics after running him through a few poses and transforming him.>>11817591Fuckers, but I'll survive as long as the soundtrack stays up.>>11817689>>11817718>>11817735Agreed that Arblus feels like a guaranteed retool and it'd be cool to get him in a multipack with old guy, along with some vials of unidentified neon fluid for accessories.
>>11817096New Prime is probably a retool from an existing aotp/legacy leader class mold though given all the others on the list so far have been revealed to be recolors/remolds from these waves.
>>11817757Probably a colorful repaint of Prima.

>>11818193dude, good for you. Very few people your age are cool.
>>11817988Yes, there's still some of us ancient fags that linger.
>>11818218man the animated dinobot designs are so close to excellent.Just once I wanna see a theropod with legs-to-arms transformation where the thigh joint is on a slider, so it can move down to the knee, making that the shoulder, and leaving him with rockin huge dino thighs on his shoulders, swept back like cool fenders and maybe with missile pods concealed within.. or jetpack boosters or something.
Had a dream the other day that I was given a third-party version of G1 Mirage, but had tank treads where the tires would be, and our kind of weirdly would love to see that.

>>11818266I miss Planelegs
Armada Nemesis sold out. Oof. Guess I'm glad I didnt cancel it the other day. Granted I dunno if my order will even be fulfilled, card declinded and I changed it the next morning but got no updates since. Guessing I'm fucked out of nemesis. Ah well.
>>11818266So, how does a robot hang themselves? It's not like they breathe or anything - they literally can't asphyxiate.
>>11818281that 'thunk' was the sound of her being picked up by a giant, hyperpowerful electromagnet. Her skull was crushed the moment she impacted.

>>11818298anon that is a good fucking point, butcybertrons are okay in a vacuum, right? like, doesn't the planet lack an atmosphere? or at least we've seen them in space with no troubleThis isn't (the otherwise excellent and quite scientifically sound) Pantheon, it should be really really hard for a computer to vent its heat in space, without a medium to carry said heat away.
>>11818306>doesn't the planet lack an atmosphere?no, it has one
>>11818281Galvatron literally tried to choke out Hot Rod during the final battle of the Movie.
>>11818333Yeah well he was insane and it did nothing
>>11817860you still have space, get some of those clear shelf risers
>>11818324uhh hm. okay then.
I'm really liking Kranix after getting a chance to mess with him more. Weird, but fun transformation and I actually like his duckship mode, though it does have me wondering why he didn't just fly away when they dumped into the Sharkticon pit. I should also track down some of the SS86 Gnaws to do a display with him and the eventual Quintesson Judge and Alicons.>>11817988I've been here since 08. We'll straighten these turbo revvin' young newfags out yet!
>>11817988Seeing all the replies on this post makes me realize how young I really am on here. I legitimately didn’t start regularly posting on 4chan until I turned 18, which would have been 2019, so it’s crazy hearing people being on here since 2008 or earlier >>11818184The idea of the majority of “anons” being namefags is such a foreign concept to me, though I’m surprised it didn’t make a comeback with the Twitter/Tumblr crowd
>>11818375old anonymity was wonderful because it had, as an option, actually making an identity for yourself.as I used to put it :on the internet you could be anyone, and you can be anyone, so eventually.. you test out being yourself. You see if people like it. and no matter how fucking weird you are, SOMEONE likes it. But no matter how cool you are, someone also hates it. So you get perspectivesocial media fucked that up pretty god damn hard. I mean look at your generation. waiting til you're 18 for something? we fucking never did that.
>>11818375It sounds like you're assuming people have been here for a long time because they started while really young. For most, that's not the case. We're just older. I'm nearly 40.
>>11818393To be fair, I don’t think the majority of the people my age actually waited that long. I just tend to be more of a rule follower because I’m autistic, and even then I made most of my social media accounts when I was around 15ish, I just didn’t post on 4chan specifically because of it’s reputation >>11818394No, I understand that the majority of people on here are much older than me, it just that the majority of fans I see on other social media tend to be closer to my age, 25-30ish
>>11818400sure as fuck don't sound autistic, matey. but yeah most of you guys did end up that way. Lack of physical contact and other tactile stimuli, I reckon. Oh well.>other social mediayou.. are aware this isn't that, right
>>11818402I know technically 4chan isn’t a form of social media, but it basically fits the dictionary definition of social media anyways
>>11818405i would just call 4chan primative social media because really its probably the same 20 people that make up this threadand in smaller threads you eventually start to infer on who is who with how they type
>>11818402It's Web 2.0.
>>11818405new dictionaries have that 'they' shit in it too. best ignored.
>>11818409well you'd be wrong. the primary characteristics of social media are>following individual people (mindlessly)>reposting others' posts ad nauseum>liking their posts>each post is its own page, there are no pages other than post pages>going over your list of likes>going over the list of posts they posted about posts others posted>ganging up on people to ruin their lives if they like the wrong thingso, sadly, Baraag is social media, and that is why it will never be cool like Jab Archives. but imageboards are not. they predate it in the extreme. They're almost the inverse of social media.
Since Kingdom Rod is already about to be replaced, who should they have done for that year instead?
>>11817988Got on 4chan when I was 15 in 2008Started on /toy/ in about 2011 I think>>11818184>>11818375There was a good ol' days thread on /a/ the other day and some fag blew a gasket at the sight of a tripfag (not even me)You could tell he was a newfag since this site was probably 40% namefags and tripfags back in the day>>11818433Kingdom Magnaboss
>>11818433Eh, I like Kingdom Rod as a Marvel-y version. I somehow doubt the SS86 Commander will replace him for me.
>>11818454>Got on 4chan when I was 15 in 2008Underage b& I wonder if there is a statute of limitations on that lol. Oh god I wonder how many whatever the fuck came after zoomers are here now
>>11817379Herald of Primus... If it's just Grow Up Rung (since we already have a figure of him as a Battlemaster), it would be boring. Anyone sure we'll get a Gold Primus for next year's SDCC, and if we're that daring, be made of 24 karat or 32 karat gold for some of his accent parts?On a different note, everyone agree we need a redo of Getaway and Joyride so that the former gets his proper head and engine, and the latter's engine gets compacted along with a proper gun? If we'll get Slapdash in the next few years, all of his compatriots' issues will be ironed out by then.
>>11818508kids come here all the time and they always have
All this reminiscing about times past has me feeling old. But I'll at least try to be a cool old guy, like Kup.
>>11818508Well the real first time was when my friend showed me 4chan real quick when we were 13She described it as "a site where you can find anything"Then a few years later I like what was that site again? And hung around ever since
>>11818366He couldn't transform in the actual movie. The alt mode is based on an earlier draft
>Arise, Rodimus Prime>Optimus...>>11818602I was making a joke, though it was cool discovering that an alt mode exists for the character even if it only showed in the conceptual stages and the comic adaptation of the movie (which I think I should read soon).
>>11818641>Bend over, Rodimus Prime>O... Optimus...?
>>11818599that was me with Homestar Runner. "What's that funny site with the.. the guy.. and you just see his head.."
>>11818366I didn't know Animorphs came back.
>>11819077i'm laughing and agreeing yet I don't know why
>In another pre-final draft, Kranix is one of an unnamed species of "strange robotic creatures" that transforms into a "small rocket ship" in order to escape his planet's destruction by Unicron, with his character model designed with this in mind. His ability to transform was absent in the final draft and thus from the film, though his alternate mode did appear in the Marvel Comics adaptation (which was partially based on that earlier script) and in his The Transformers Universe character profile.
Hopefully the dumbasses in charge realize they can just throw a bunch of minicons with Nemesis Prime's trailer and people will buy it.
>>11819103
This completely redeems Quake's alt mode for me. I might go and make my own version of this
>>11819104I'm supposed to believe three minicons are apparently the same price as primes entire trailer, but those same three minicons PLUS five more come out to $10 less... absolute scamming
>>11819157>Tad Danger anger intensifies
>>11819103I guess you can just assume they were a Cybertronian cousin race, like the Junkions.
>>11819194Funny how the universe just seems to be filled with giant, transforming, sentient robots.
>>11819210Flesh isn't life! Servos, gyros and fuel, this is where life comes from!
>>11819210I actually really like that as a scifi concept. We expect most aliens to look like us, but what if most of them DO look alike, but we're the oddballs?
>>11819164I can only assume they took the complaints to heart, or they want to overcharge the hell out of the convention sets.I'm more annoyed they didn't include the Dark Saber with Nemesis.
>>11819227>I'm more annoyed they didn't include the Dark Saber with Nemesis.This. I have no idea what possessed them to pack the normal Star Saber with him instead of his actual sword, especially if they were planning on making a Minicon pack like this from the start.
>>11819232To get more money anon :')
>>11819233And I'm still gonna buy it because I'm a fucking sucker!
>>11819238Not me. I'm happy with my FansHobby ones.
'I do believe I discern a protege!'
>>11819244>that time Terrorsaur made Rattrap his 'lieutenant'
>>11819244Isn't Hellbat also a chronic backstabber
>>11819164woah nuSwindle has shoulder rotation
Sounds like Siege Jetfire is getting reissued againThird time's the charm for some I guess
>>11819272Alright! I kept pushing off on buying him because I'm lazy. Now he can't be found anywhere except Amazon where I have to pay scalper prices.
>>11819077One of the last of a shape changing race who gets killed off promptly after delivering the required exposition to the heroes? Sounds vaguely familiar.>>11819272Hell yeah, I was actually thinking about hunting him down the other day. Was tempted by the Void Rivals version, but the lack of badge and guns put me off.
>>11819104Nah, shield will come with final battle deco.>>11819272Nice, somehow I couldn't get one. Hopefully evil deco will be reissued too.
>>11819265Both are. Leozack wants to backstab Deathsaurus to become leader of Destrons, and Hellbat wants to backstab Leozack to become leader of Breastforce. That's how we got Deathcobra episode. Leozack was tired of Hellbat shit, and wanted to replace him, until Hellbat killed Deathcobra.
>>11819265Yeah, but Leozack is treacherous and he's also second-in-command, so he has that in common with Starscream.
>>11819272Man takes some practice to poseHe's fighting me with every joint and is looking awkward whenever he isn't stood straight and stoic

>>11819272>Third time's the charmFourth. He had his original Siege release, a reissue after that, the Void Rivals release, and now this reissue; that's not counting the SG release, either.
>>11819277>One of the last of a shape changing race who gets killed off promptly after delivering the required exposition to the heroes? Sounds vaguely familiar.Elfangor wasn't the last of his race, though - the Andalites were just fighting their war on the other end of the galaxy - Earth was a backwater that they didn't particularly care too much about, and Elfangor was only there due to time-travel shenanigans after having lived a lifetime as a human and having a human child and wife there he wanted to protect....At least from what I can remember. I read those books when I was, like, 12. Time flies.
>>11819164Convention exclusives always have an upcharge, so Nemesis cost more.
>>11819324>>11819324>>11819324
>>11819272It's one of my favorite TFs in my whole collection so it's nice that he's getting another release. I still think he's one of the best representations for the Commander class.
>>11815125>Full on cartoon likeness.This is what I like most about them!!!FACT!!!
>>11816193>Eh I remember chud that word being popular years ago, guess it's finally out of style now huh??!?It's been relentlessly used across 4Chan for years and the equivalent of calling someone Ugly, just like how Incel means Virgin as the NPC's using those words are narcissistic sociopaths with the minds of children who can't be reasoned with!!!FACT!!!
>>11816927Season 3 had the best theme.....https://youtu.be/aASYfqP9414?si=SMPneP4ytPskBiIF!!!FACT!!!
>>11817168>>11817425>>11817478Seems kinda morbid that they're putting out versions of characters in the midst of being killed!?!FACT!!!
