>>11852046I wish I could afford this..
>>11852046I still hate TransFURmers. Insects and Crustaceans should count only. And I want Injector legacy too
>>11852060The Takara version even has sharper fur detailing
>>11852079fascinating, they actually took the time to do that?
shit dude I didn't know they made a bublock
>>11849737
>>11852093the diaper and thighs look so weird pushed forward like that.
>>11852093Do they 360 waist swivel?
STUDIO SERIES ALICE WHEN?
Wanted to give props to that anon who recommended the new bee hands for ss86 devy. I'm not the anon you were recommending them to but they just came in yesterday and they're some of the nicest posable digits i've messed with.
>>11852105ooh those are nice, the phalanx ratios and everything. why are they 'bee hands' ?
>>11852115New Bee is the name of the company or whatever they're being sold under. I dunno anything more than that.
>>11852126that's extremely confusing for a couple reasons!
Nemesis Prime spotted at Ross
>>11852134What a steal
>>11852134You guys in the States don't get just how lucky you are sometimes.
>>11852134>on sale for $40>meanwhile just restocked and then sold out again online while being sold for $90
>>11852134That's about $10 off from how much it should be if Hasbro wasnt into robbing us blind
>>11852134$40 is discount price these days. I remember when that was Leader Class price 20 years ago.
>>11852170>20 years ago.U r old
Back in my day, a deluxe was $10, and we liked it that way.
>>11852176I don't think I'll ever really accept Deluxes over $15. I can drop $450 on an import toy and be fine but seeing a $25 deluxe in stores makes me wince.
>>11852093Hot take: I really don't like this mold. The inability to fold the wings back really affects the dynamism of poses and their overall silhouette. They do feel nice in hand but I want to like them more than I actually do.>>11852099>Do they 360 waist swivelLol no, they barely swivel at all actually.
>open AOTP Brawl>his own chest scratches the paint off his face if you accidentally move the chest plate up while in robot modewowvery cool hasbro
>>11852180Right?>>11852170it's funny, I remember when megas were 20, but because money felt like so much back then, I 'remember it' as being 40. I remember saving up 40 dollars of allowance, which I know is nonsense and I absolutely didn't. I saved up 20. That's how I got Primal and Megatron
>>11852180>seeing a $25 deluxe in stores makes me wince.>be in canada>deluxes are $35 now>voyagers are $50>leaders are $80>I remember when leaders were $40 around when Revenge of the Fallen came out, and I thought that was already too much
>>11852149To be fair, I guarantee you that 99% of Ross stores won’t have this guy. It was the same way when people found AOTP Trypticon there
>>11852186Yeah, the only good things that hit my Ross in the last 4 years were>Speedia Scourge and Shadowstrip>BW 30th Megatron and PrimalNo TM2 Megs or any Titans
>>11852185>I remember when leaders were $40 around when Revenge of the Fallen came outI very specifically remember getting RotF Prime and 25th anni Prime on the same day, $50 and $55 respectively
>>11852099Their waists swivel maybe about 30 degrees in either direction, but then the bottom part of the backpack that hangs over the butt gets in the way of going any further. Still more than the Earthrise mold, at least.
>>11852126goin for the chun li pose kek
>>11852180Deluxes are gonna be $30 by 2028
>>11852183There was one week where K-mart or Toys R Us has deluxes on sale around 1999 for $5 and my sister said she would give me $20 that week, I felt like a king and wrote about it, complete with drawing a picture of myself with 4 deluxes stacked in my hand for my 2nd grade daily writing assignment. I am still chasing that high to this day.
>>11852216tits. That is a top quality memory. You hold onto that sucker. Your sister is cool. Someday she's gonna need a favor and you are gonna be right there.
>>11852182I did the same with my first copy. I fail to see how it’s Hasbro’s fault we’re both retards who can’t follow simple instructions.
>>11852228It has nothing to do with instructions; the chest on mine literally moves up on its own if I try to rotate one of the shoulders because the shoulder joints are so retardedly tight that the chest moves before the shoulder does
>>11852210Just $30? No, the Deluxe size will be phased out and transferred to Voyager, and given a fat accessory.
damn i forgot how cool ss86 grimlock wasthe g2 colour dinobots look pretty cool but i already have 4/5 of the classic grey versions, only missing swoop
What’s the best 3rd party bayverse bumblebee? I need to relive the glory days of loving that concept Camaro
>>11852195So, that means they'll make seekers with full waist swivel some day and those will be the definitive best versions.
>>11852176>>11852180>>11852170>>11852183>>11852185>>11852194This company can go fuck itself. Everything is so goddamn expensive. Toys were supposed to be something you could pick up on a whim.
I got thisDuring the pre-order for this I went for the new MP prime instead. While that MP prime is good but I wouldn't call it like great great- people who have it would know what I'm talking about. But this guy? Takara held a booth last month at the local toy fair and had a few Trise figures and shield prime for public play. Once I played with it, I was sold. Managed to get one with with a 26.66% discount from the original release price. Opening it up, I can see why this higher price than MP prime. This is diaclone level quality. I feel like if I actually have play tested the new MP prime I wouldn't have preordered it over this. Anyway, not much to complain. But I do have to mention I feel like the head sculpt doesn't fit the body. It is too "normal" Prime. It should have been zoidsified a bit especially with the face plate though I don't know how to approach this. Ziods Megatron when?
>>11852319>zoid megatronGojoulas, or Leena Special?
>>11852343I'd say Berserk Fuhrer, it's badass and the colours are mostly rightBut I could see Takara going with a slightly more wrong choice like Geno Saurer or something
>>11852317>Toys were supposed to be something you could pick up on a whim.Were they? Was that the actual definition of "toy"? I agree prices (for everything) have gotten retarded and every corporation is playing a terminal game of "save a shareholder; fuck the customer", but you're a genuine dolt to assert that the purpose ANY toy is to be infinitely affordable on pocket change, just because that's what you need them to be.
>>11852315That plus all 3 will be exclusive to a different store next time that doesn't bother ordering them or putting them out.Why settle for 1 or 2 being hard to find exclusives, when we can go for the full hat trick!
Got a Thundercracker that's missing a Null Ray and customer support has said jack shit to me. How do I get my hands on another one?
>>11852386Buy another Thundercracker, goy.
>>11852386>How do I get my hands on another one?Find the person that got 3 null rays and marry them
>>11852386I thought Hasbro customer support was supposed to be pretty good? it's been years since I needed them but when I got an ML with a defective arm they just sent me a new copy free of charge. have they since shat the bed?
>>11852317Genuinely not sure what Hasbro can do except pivot the line again, this WFC-till-now era cant just go up forever.
>>11852126>>11852105>holy shit these look amazing!>...>price of a Brawl/Swindle/etc.y-yeah...i'd rather buy a whole transformer instead of pair of hands....
>>11852368>but you're a genuine dolt to assert that the purpose ANY toy is to be infinitely affordable on pocket change,Isn't that literally what those cheap toys you get out of those vending machines you see in places like grocery stores are, though?
>>11852373I'm so tired
>>11852492Okay, so buy those and stop complaining. Retard.
>>11852373I don't even want this new Seeker mold.The only one I'm getting is Sunstorm and it pisses me off that he's going to look out of place next to the other guys (not to mention I have to shell out for a 4-pack I don't even want)I haven't even decided if I'm just going to cancel the whole thing. may as well stick with my Botcon Sunstorm since nobody matches anyway
>>11852492>"hmm, Transformers cost a lot of money and keep getting more expensive...">"But... some toys... are cheap?">"Wait a minute...">"Why don't all toys cost the same? After all, they all serve the same purpose of being played with by children!">"Surely the sole factor in the value of a physical object is relegated entirely to its purpose and not its materials or complexity!">"I could think about this longer, but if I stop here, it supports my sense of entitlement!">"Yes, that will do! Some toys cost 50 cents, so therefor, ALL toys should cost 50 cents!"Every now and again, I get the feeling I've witnessed an anon attempt to do the first "critical think" of their lifetime, and it's equal parts hilarious and frightening.
Both of my target exclusive starscream and Joe 2 Pack are expected first week of August. Let's see if target actually delivers.
>>11852516I regret getting them actually. They're not terrible but I've come to honestly prefer my Dramatic Capture seekers. So I'll probably sell the 86 guys off. Glad it saves me the trouble of trying to get Starscream, which is already turning into a shit show from I'm reading and hearing.It is a shame about Sunstorm, but I might just try my luck on picking up a cheap ER Starscream and painting him into Sunstorm myself. I can live without the Rainmakers, and if I change my mind there is always the Siege set.
>>11852550>but I've come to honestly prefer my Dramatic Capture seekers.Pic related, like to me this just looks RIGHT. Everyone instantly recognizable but slightly stylized in the same matching aesthetic, without the hodgepodge of scales and styles you see in the recent 86 stuff. And that's just the Seekers, not even getting into the whole Astrotrain debacle.
>>11852319Yeah I like mine a lot too. I wish there was somewhere to store the motorcycle in robot mode, I'd like if the Zoid mouth was actually poseable, and if there was maybe some kind of locking mechanism for the robot mode legs since there's so many joints in there for Zoid mode it can be a little janky to get them both matching. Very minor complaints.It was so refreshing to handle a figure not only with such quality, heft, and density, but such detail as well. The care and the passion of the designers really shows in it.I'm kind of turning towards just being a Toyrise guy. This and the Brave figures I have are all stellar, and Overhead looks like such a breath of fresh air. I've really grown tired of obvious corner cutting in mainline while prices continue to rise. Sure it's more expensive to import this stuff for me, but I'm actually happy with the figure itself and not left accepting major flaws just because "well they're probably never going to make another Armada Sideways..."
>>11852513>>11852517You're both idiots who lack critical reading skills. The original statement was that "you're a genuine dolt to assert that the purpose ANY toy is to be infinitely affordable on pocket change". This is not true, because there literally ARE toys that are made with that in mind - not Transformers, obviously, but the statement was that no toys ever were designed to be cheap and affordable.
>>11852438My Armada Nemesis Prime came with 2 of the same smokestacks and they just gave me a dinoking and core wheelie instead of a new Nemesis.
>>11852609Dang I want a free wheelie and dinoking
>>11852438Like everything else about Hasbro, their customer support has declined greatly in terms of helpfulness.
>>11852613No. You get two Que's instead.
>>11852317It'll never go back to the good times.
There is dust everywhere. It isn't coming off no matter how much I try clean them.
Man, I really hate the colors hasbro used for their insecticon 3 pack. They could have gone with a nice light grey, like in the box art, but they went with this ugly milky white.
>>11852671I got one of those little electronic dusters off of Amazon a while back, works really well for get inbetween all the details and greebling on my figures. Good for computers too.
>>11852134Didn't see this one but I grabbed the Sonic Tails collab one from ROSS. $25.
>>11852556B-but muh greebles!
>Monstructor gets delivered>packed in a box big enough to hold at least 4 Monstructors, with a single honeycomb sheet of cuck cardboard as cushioningThe fuck?
>>11852839At least you didn't get a fridge sized box. When Hasbro sent my God Neptune set, it arrived in a gigantic box, the actual toys were wrapped around a comical amount of bubble wrap.
>>11852839That's every order from Pulse, kek.I got the Scorponok reissue from them last year and while he doesn't exactly come in a small box, the box he was shipped in was big enough to fit a mini-fridge.
>>11852343Gun sniper, Rinon's version or otherwise, is more of a Soundwave situation. Though not as much as Gairyuki is, since he has actual little guys that can pop off of his armor.>>11852352those both kinda work. Tough to transform though, since these are kaiju-style t-reges with small heads and big thick legs.
>>11852847>At least you didn't get a fridge sized box.jinx
>>11852368before internet, everything was about whimsy. you had to just WANT stuff and go there and buy stuff and see more stuff to buy. remember gifts? gifts were fun. now anyone could buy anything so all you have done is spent money for them.>>11852368i miss pogs and slammers.also I haven't seen those machines in ages
>>11852629yeah we're pretty beyond recovery unless the good lord himself steps down from his comfy cloud to just fix everything.man this guy has some of the worst torso to thigh proportions in history
>>11852855I’m shocked Pogs/Slammers have never reentered the limelight, especially given a lot of the 90s nostalgia going around recently. Heck, one of the most popular meme phrases, Pogchamp, is literally derived from a Pogs Championship stream on Twitch, yet barely anyone talks about the toy itself
>>11852855>remember gifts? gifts were fun. now anyone could buy anything so all you have done is spent money for them...anon are you implying gifts aren't a thing anymore? You just got old and no one is buying you gifts anymore. People still give and get gifts. I gave my nephew a gift this last weekend. My girlfriend got me a gift a few weeks ago. I don't really get gifts anymore for my birthday or christmas but younger people in my family still do. And no all figures weren't just available always. There's a ton of BW, BM, Armada, and Energon figures I could never get because they just weren't distributed well, especially at the end of those lines. Hell I remember trying to find 2007 Bumblebee was a whole quest.
I forgot how bad at even standing God Neptune was.
Finally got armada Sideways and a very late 86 Shockwave.-Shockwave has a scar on his chest and crotch, very distracting.-Sideways has one of his hips looking like a dog chewed on it.Now to waste time returning them.
>>11850386>>11850551What is this
>>11852839Lemme guess, ordered from Hasbro Pulse? They do that every freaking time! It's why I've stopped ordering from them unless they're the only option.
>>11852911Looks like Dr Wu’s Magnus
>>11852898I guess Squlle's gone off to chase Squba again
>>11852871>.anon are you implying gifts aren't a thing anymore?NTA, but these days most kids just ask for Fortnite cash, Robux, or Steam Cards as gifts. Most adults just want cash or gift cards. The days of actually going out and buying shit for people are pretty much over, and have been for a while now.
>>11852847
>>11852944This has to be some loophole scam
Went to two Targets, no luck with Starscream.
>>11852947It was a new home for cats
>>11852964Okay this is acceptable
>>11852944I still don't understand why they did this.
>>11852903>-Shockwave has a scar on his chest and crotch,This seems to be a common issue, 2 of the wild Shockwaves I saw had noticeable scratches
>>11852863Right? They're nostalgic, they're super easy and cheap to make, nobody owns the patent (though only World Pog Federation ones can call theirs POGs I think, which is funny since it derives from a juice drink brand that they do not own. but I guess it's like how 'Frisbee' is trademarked despite it being the name of the company whose pie-plates people were throwing around, except spelled funny.). you could do literally every franchise as pogs, and people would pay up to, what, 15-20 cents for each one? that's like 18 cents profit.>pog comes from pogwait really? I knew there was a reason I liked that one bit of gen z slang while despising the rest. Twitch really had a pogs championship stream? nuts. I mean, let's be real, the game didn't fucking workIt wasn't 'crazy bones' level of nonfunctional, but the game was designed around actual Passionfruit-Orange-Guava or milk caps, which had a STAPLE in them. the staple makes them unstable enough to flip when struck. The ones we all bought do not, so the game doesn't work for shit.
>>11852942Right? Rick and Morty even did a joke about how rare and praiseworthy it is to just go out and buy a product because you think someone will like it.>>11852871My mom offers to buy me gifts sometimes and it's like.. well i've pre-ordered everything I like, and mom won't trust her credit card with any company other than amazon, so there's very few options. I actually have something sitting in my amazon 'for later' cart for my birthday, just so she has something to get.
>>11852967as usual, we have six layers of regulation breathing down everyone's necks, including liability lawyers, so everyone just says it's better to waste money and resources than to try to actually dial in exactly what you need for the productJapan has the opposite attitude because of their limited space, but in America we're like fuckit
>>11852046any new rumors/leaks from JTPrime?
>>11852980Not that I've seen/remember
>>11852819Original Siege Shockwave is super greebly but I like its colors and look the best out of all repaints that have come out. I feel Earthrise seekers are completely outclassed by the SS86 mold on the other hand.
>>11852980>>11849631Just Leader TM Megatron a few days ago.
>>11852584It's not even the general engineering or design.The current mainline is cursed with bunch of minor QC issues happening at most critical parts that I have never encountered at this level of frequency. Just this thread you already got people complaining about 86 shockwave- a figure next to no paint and they still manages to fuck it up at the molding levelUsed to be you can get like 10 figures in one go and maybe like one of them got some issues big enough to write about but still not a boner killer. Now you got like 50/50 chance of getting a figure that did not even print its eye/face properly. Remember that one anon who get a 2 pack and both the visors are fucked up? This is really not acceptable with the higher than ever price. People are willing to pay more as long they get what they expected and decently non QCed ridden toy. Going from stuff from Takara, the problem is clearly with Hasbro Hasbro needs to put it's foot down hard with their QC guys in Vietnam. Unless their strategy is to force people to buy multiple copy to kitbash a decent figure out of them.
Back when SG Optimus and Ratchet came out Optimus was missing a wheel. But I put in my address wrong then corrected it and somehow they sent me two sets of SG Optimi and Rachets... I have no idea what to do with them Im not even sure reselling them will do a lot because they got reissued
>>11853176Are there any kids in yours or any friends' extended families? You can probably give out the sets as birthday presents.
>>11852134I've never been to a single one of these types of stores that had anything. The only thing in recent memory was a meowscarada figure that I didn't buy because I felt it was too obvious that I wanted to have sex with the character
>>11853219literally only weird people like us are going to look at someone buying feline NiGHTS and think "sex?"
Is there a place I haven't looked to find replacement parts like guns for the new stuff? I had to buy another Blast Off to replace a gun and all I found was G1 and Combiner Wars stuff.
>>11853219See, the trick is to put it with a bunch of other characters that you DON'T want to fuck. I got a Blokees Meowscarada that I keep on a shelf in plain sight alongside a Charizard, Scyther, and Ceruledge, and no one ever questioned it. Then again, the real plot twist here is that I'm not interested in fucking Meowscarada (I'm actually more interested in banging femCharizard).More to your original point, though, I've never lived near a Ross or an Ollie's, so you guys who do manage to get good deals on shit like that are lucky.
Anyone here speak japanese?Apparently the recent Generations book seems to imply a Nexus frame is in fact in the works.
>>11853667
>>11853667TFW says it means "wtf is happening, we don't know"
>>11853667You know that Google Lens can translate the text from pretty much any image, right? I'm assuming you want the two big chunks of text:>TRANSFORMERS Age of the Primes AOTP-36 Nexus Prime THE THIRTEEN NEXUS PRIME ▶The face design inherits the design that appeared in "ONE". The design motif is a mix of Heatwave, the Transformers Collectors' Club exclusive item in which the character first appeared, his appearance in "ONE", and the depiction in the book "Covenant of Primus". At first glance it looks like a simple two-stage transforming Voyager class, but a huge head exists inside its torso. The included instructions only describe the single-stage transformation, but overseas it has been suggested that a body to make him a true combiner will be released.>An example of the combined form with Aerialbots attached to the arms and legs. As mentioned above, the existence of Nexus Prime's combination attachment units and the members that will become its arms and legs is currently undisclosed. However, its body is fully compatible with the Superion frame included with AOTP-01 Silverbolt, and Nexus Prime, when transformed into combined mode, can form the body in place of Silverbolt and combine with the frame with Superion's chest turned to the back.
>>11853172I'm sure everyone at Hasbro is completely convinced that they will be gone soon, and are just lining their pockets. In the same way you can't expect us to buy subquality merch at premium prices, you can't expect them to continue doing their jobs when they don't believe those jobs will be there long.
>>11853342cats are the sex animal.that said, that thing really doesn't look good or sexy to me. new pokemon are so predictably lame. they all look like they're wearing silly, mismatched clothes.
>>11852134Do people actually like the way Armada Optimus and Nemesis look?
>>11853736Yes but:>head is meh>yellow eyes in super mode>no minicon in set>retarded shoulders in core mode
>>11853670>>for_ants.gif
>>11853172Yeah. It's pretty fucked. This is some of the QC issues I've run into:-Alpha aTrion has awful excess plastic right on the hinge of his cockpit, so it always feels like I'll break when transforming it.-Shockwave having a giant cut on his chest.-Thundercracker arriving without his face-Sideways arriving with on of his hips all scratched up, and dented, his waist is also slightly off set, not sure why.-Powerglide having one of his hips looking like some acid fell on it.Takara doesn't escape unscathed either, their Lio Convoy arrived with paint damage on the head, mold damage a claw, and the tail missing.
>>11853736For the most part yes>>11853744But only issues out of this I agree with are the eyes, and shoulders being an issue but for super mode actually. They're stupidly short. I hate hasbros weird obsession of making something almost perfect but do like one or two stupid changes that knock it down a bit.
>>11853870And I guess no minicon sucks too but that's got nothing to do with looks. Wish he did cone with his little jet minicon though if not sparkplug.
SDCC this weekendAny predictions before the leaks get out?
>>11853891My Little Pony crossover.
>>11853684Wow this is ass. Should've just been Heatwave
>>11853962Shit, my worst fears realized.
>>11853967At least they allowed a crossover to be a decepticon for once.
>>11853967I figured he'd have a backpack because of how unwieldy monster trucks tend to be, but I like his actual design. The scythe and cape detailing are cool.Also he's actually a fucking decepticon
>>11853967Holy shit, it's Dirt Boss!
>>11853972Yeah, I was expecting this to be much more of a mess. it's a mess for sure, but it's not a shitty mess. It's kind of in the same boat with guys like Rampage and Depth Charge.I guess the answer to how they would handle all the spindly, skeletal understructure is to make it abstract and use the waffling to their advantage. It actually looks really plausible as a real monster truck. It's just a shame the cab just becomes a backpack like that, I feel like that was wholly avoidable.
>>11853967>wheels just dangling off the sideIn 2026? In a post-Rexblade world?
>>11853994well they connect to the body of the truck along tiny axles, because they are huge oversized TIRES, not oversized wheels. There's very little you could do, except split them up, and even then..
>>11853995What these are the same thing, that's literal nonsense. Monster truck transformers have been completely solved and we're getting this. I'm not an animal Hasbro, I'm a human being...
>>11854005Do you not get the difference? These have fenders and huge housings. They aren't connected to any visible axle, they're connected to those pieces.
>>11854007Rexblade too is just a wheel on an axle. Just fold part of the truck cab over it to get that chunky look then, or accordion the wheels inward. Anyway the most important thing they didn't do is the splitting wheel, which could be done any number of ways.
>>11853967This looks oddly solid. Non TF TFs are the best TFs getting made recently it seems. At the very least far and away the more exciting releases.
>>11854010No that's what I'm saying Rexblade is, UNLIKE the guy you're saying should use the same engineering. Who can't, because huge gaps around the axles is part of what makes it a monster truck.but yeah, splitting wheel was possible. the question is where would they go?
>>11854014Anon you're acting like this is a real monster truck where there's a hollow gap down there but you know it's a solid brick of folded up robot there right? They're functionally exactly the same. We can find a way to tab that wheel in, it's fine
>>11853967Fug they got me again with a crossover slop toy
>>11853967This was made by a 6-year-old. They should keep doing that.
>>11853967that's pretty fuckin rad
>>11853967Its cool, but really dissapointing they didnt do anything cool or creative with the wheels. Like goddamn, let them come off and open up into big missile launchers or something. or all stack together into a huge bazooka. Something.
>>11854146ooh reminding me of Attack Packs. They had that one guy whose wheels had fucking teeth inside
>>11854146Nahhh, too easy to lose them on a little kid's toy. Rocket boosters, maybe...
>>11854149>wheels come off>handle on the back that fits into hands>wheel rim pops out into minigun barrels>we rhinox naow
>>11854188especially if the axles came off with the wheels so the guns would have fucking handles
>ends of monster truck wheels are caps that pop open to reveal huge drum packed with missiles3rd party wheel upgrade kit when?
>>11853967I like him - and as another anon pointed out, he's perfect to use as a stand-in for a modern Dirt Boss.
SG Mysterious Prime confirmed?????Just kiddingBut what if??
>>11854394I don't get it, what about this image evokes shattered glass?
>>11853995>>11854007While I don't think anons comparison to rexblade is particularly relevant, they could have done more to internalize the wheels somehow. Not only would it have done wonders for the size of the figure given the other collab characters heights but would have also meant he wouldn't have giant tumors hanging off his limbs.Think proto armada monster convoy.
>>11854422yeah there's definitely better ways to do it. Still, I thought this would be impossible, and they showed it can be done okay.
>>11854005God I wish his wild docking legs had knees...
>>11854411The purple, I'd assume
>>11853967The skull feet are cool.
>>11853972>>11853989They might've not been able to do much with the cab transformation-wise since it could break up the detailed tampos. Could be a licensing mandate or something.
>>11854435OH. right, yes that makes sense. thank you.>>11854448That's probably it, yeah
>>11853967Evil ass grim reaper skeleton monster truck transformer with a flaming scythe is like the coolest transformer concept ever. I just wish the toy looked as good as the concept sounds on paper, like the entire top of the truck hanging off his back is really lame. they could have at least made it look like a capeI actually like the wheels on his shoulders, it gives him a bit of an interesting interesting silhouette, and some continuity between both modes. I wish the bottom ones could have folded into his shins or something to beef them up, I unno.
Onslaught arrived in the mail, and I just attached Brawl and Blast Off to his frame, but... I noticed the instructions don't show how to transform Vortex and Swindle into limbs. I assume it'll be fairly easy to figure out how to attach Vortex, but I just wanted to check with anyone here who might have also gotten Onslaught, am I missing a second page of instructions or something? (If I remember correctly, I think Long Haul and Hook came with two pages of instructions for all the combining transformations.) I'm hoping Swindle's instructions will show how to transform him into a leg when he comes out, but Vortex's certainly don't. I tried looking online for a scan of Onslaught's instructions to make sure I'm not missing anything, but nothing seems to be showing up yet.
>>11854575Apparently Hasbro can't advertise toys in the instructions that aren't currently "on shelves" the same time.
>>11854576that is simultaneously an understandable and infuriating regulationamong other things, how do YOU know when the toy's being sold? I bought TMNT figs that advertised figs from like 6 years ago, because they were still on the shelf, but the ones they're advertising were not.
>>11854576Okay, so it's a relief that I'm not missing a page of instructions at least. Thanks! But it's odd that Vortex's limb transformation wasn't even on his own instructions if he couldn't be included on Onslaught's. I wonder if his rumored upcoming re-release will have updated instructions. I also wonder whether this rule is some sort of actual law, or if it's just self-imposed by Hasbro. If it's a law, I guess there isn't much they can do about it, but if it's something they decided themselves, then it's incredibly stupid to stick so rigidly to it for stuff like combiners.
>>11854428The weird one flaw this figure has. Everything else is pretty good for what it is. I just wish the energy masters could do more unique animal shapes like frogs or gorillas or sharks or something.
>>11853967>whole car on the backpack minus the wheels just hanging off>>11853976Dirt Boss runs laps round that guy
>>11854577I think they likely classify within the same wave, or adjacent ones.
>>11854577I don't think it's a regulation, I think Sales and Marketing just doesn't want them advertising things you might not be able to buy anymore
>>11854626At one of the recent livestreams, one of the Hasbro guys (Evan, I think?) said it was within the same year. No clue how they decide when a year for their toys starts and stops though.
>>11854609What do you mean? Dirt Boss has the entire bottom half of the truck hanging off of his back, while the new guy's cab collapses and spreads out into a cape to go with the rest of his reaper theme.
>>11854609Dirt Boss has awful proportions and an unforgivable head transformation>>11854659Calling it a cape is pretty generous
>>11854422I don't think they could have done it without altering the vehicle mode too much and they probably weren't allowed to in order to use the license.
>>11854775>grave diggerWhy is he using a scythe not a shovel?
The new New Legends chapter ends with Lio Convoy Junior, Lio Convoy Junior being turned into Galvalio Convoy, and a mysterious silhouette arriving. So who will New Legends-06 be? Who knows.
>>11854840I'd buy all of these lio recolors. Please mske them all takara. Also the gold glittery form.
>>11854840Earthspark Soundwave rerelease
>>11854582>But it's odd that Vortex's limb transformation wasn't even on his own instructions if he couldn't be included on Onslaught'sVortex arm mode is literally his vehicle mode attached to the frame, there's no need for instructions.
>>11854847That does almost match lol
>>11854847>>11854857Given the focus on Cybertron's continuity, the fact that they both transform into stealth bombers, and this figure also holding a Soundwave cassette player, this is 100% Cybertron Soundwave being represented by a redeco of Earthspark Soundwave. Whether it’s a New Legends toy or not I’m not sure, especially since every other retooled or redecoed toy in the line has been a Generations mold
>>11854862it's a good thing regardless since that figure is a bitch to get a hold of. I've only ever seen one in person and that was from a dealer friend i run into at a lot of the local toy shows here in Ottawa, he accidentally brought it with him because he had it in his bins after receving one from another friend at another show that he picked up for him in Australia, it wasn't for sale.
>>11854847Perhaps the mold will be saved.
>>11853967Thanks Ratchet.
Got a second copy of this guy Nothing wrong with the first one, just getting another to get ready for Jetfire combine mode. Personally speaking the super mode is always a meh for me so I am freeing one for normal bot mode. >Chipped paint on the right chestYeah great going. No this is not because of the super mode combination. This is probably already damaged during the factory assembly. For all those complaint about QCs, I think one of the biggest issue is the fact I don't know when it started to happen but I feel the current paint they are using is not as durable. I remember even during 10's the only way you can damage the paint job is with either chemical or metal item. As nothing hurt the plastic the paint will stay. These days all you need have the paint get in contact with something and there is a risk of the paint being scrape or chip away.
First look at two of Nexus's limb botshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja8l858Fvlg
>>11855006Wow, they’re really not making a dedicated frame are they?
>>11855006Kino
>>11855019Who the fuck is this for
>>11855024The real ones
>>11855006Are they using Air Raid and Blast Off's toy-style heads?
>>11855024Me
>>11854847>>11854947man, I wish.
>>11855029Looks like it. It'd be cool if they used those for G2 repaints.
>>11855019Literally late stage transformers
>>11855040>what if we made an Optimus Prime that transformed into a Megatron?
>>11855006kek these look awful. the whole nexus project is a complete disaster
>>11855019So if the previous Optimus could be used as Freedom Fighter, who’s this guy supposed to be repurposed as?>>11855042A reverse Reverse Convoy, if you will
>>11855006Those look like knockoffs! Nexus Prime is the shame of the ages.
The original Nexus limbs looked like knockoffs too, ya know.
>>11855066Shut up cuck.
Ugly.
>>11855075Very COBRA
Looks so bad. Studio Series is over, there won't be good live action movie figures anymore.
>>11855068Sure, I'll get right on that.
>>11855080Did Cobra ever have a spaceship, I know the Joes did>>11855086I always feel split on the live action SS figures because on the one hand I feel bad for Bayverse fans as they less and less bread crumbs every year, but on the other hand, I personally don’t collect Bayverse so it doesn’t affect me at all
>>11855110They ran out of Bayverse stuff. Why do you think they started including other universes in the first place? SS is a consistent seller and they needed more.
The van's got storage Even if it's a smidge horrifying
>>11855127Does Automutt go in there?
>>11855116Honestly the funniest option now is for them to basically reset the Bayverse line in 2027 with all new molds, just like what they do with Generations
>>11855127It's like an inverted quintesson judge
>>11855131They're trying to. But now Studio Series is for all remade toys, so...its not gonna die anytime soon.
>>11855006He should've been a core class combiner.....
>>11855144They should have made him the second Commander instead of Onslaught, especially since we know we’re not getting the Protectobots any time soon
When do the SDCC exclusives go up on Pulse?
>>11855024Megatron is my number 1 and I'm gonna forget this ugly piece of shit existed by tomorrow. Iconography merch is trash.
>>11855131Have you seen the leaks?New Jazz, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Optimus next year
>>11855144>>11855148Nexus was originally a commander, then bumped down to leader, then finally voyager
>>11855127Man, I wish they actually were headmasters, instead of just using the port
>>11855195Wouldve been great, couldve made them mini figs of the game
>>11855029>>11855035Toy Blastoff isn't a Cyclops.If anything, they remind me of FOC Whirl and Topspin despite the wrong alt modes.
>>11855170They should've made a Voyager ONE version of Nexus and then repaint him with the original colours as an exclusive with 4-5 core class figures to combine with. Like what they did with Red Alert and the minicons.
>>11855219They could have just made the voyager as is and made exclusive core figures to combine with it.
>>11855019Instead of a tank, Megatron should start turning into the decepticon symbol
>>11855219Im not excusing Hasbro but this is more a question just because I dont get it. Like they're called the 13, but hes meant to combine with four other guys, but they dont count as four other guys or something? They're like drones?
>>11855236Nexus is one guy who split himself into five. He's not five separate guys who combine into a giant retard.
>>11855132That might be kinda true Looks like you can just rotate them around
>>11855236Nexus is the first combiner, so he's five bots in one.
>>11855238Okay I was gonna say its not like Superion is considered one guy so that makes more sense
>>11853736The core mode is my favourite Optimus design next to G1, though I never much cared for the super mode until I got the Legacy toy. As for the toy, I think it's one of the best things Hasbro has put out in a very long time. I did replace the head though, the stock one just didn't look right.
>>11855265I cannot wait for Jetfire to ship. I've come around on the super mode since getting the toy but Jet Optimus has always looked much better than the normal super mode. Fingers crossed we get Overload before too long.
>>11855286
Speculation for the next round of Timelines? I really hope they do some far-future Transtech shit.
>>11852317>Toys were supposed to be something you could pick up on a whim.Toys aren't for kids anymore. The target audience is adult collectors with disposable income.
does anybody know where I can get replacement parts for the classics voyager jetfire? I am looking to get his blue missiles and replace one of the cannons on the booster pack
>>11855236Nexus is sort of a "reverse combiner" in that he was originally one guy who ripped himself into five other entities, rather than a normal combiner being a bunch of separate unrelated dudes who temporarily merge into a gestalt; the combined form of Nexus is his real body, and his limbs became self-aware and developed personalities of their own after being separated for so long.
>>11855358Unless its Fortnite. Or whatever the fuck Skibidi Toilet is.
>>11855046I love it, because if there's any group of TF fans that richly deserves to be let down it's Nexus fans. Tfw2005 has been unusable for the last year or so because of people either complaining or speculating about this absolute nothing character who they would have you think is like the most important guy in the franchise. I draw nourishment from their tears, and I may even buy the cyclops Blast Off guy out of spite.
>>11855362Fortnite doesn't really sell toys, and Skibidi stuff is more just like collectables than actual toys.
>>11855361>and his limbs became self-aware and developed personalities of their own after being separated for so long.Do they get mad theyre not called the 17
I swear Swindle's colors look different every time I see them. He looks decent enough in these photos, but in other pics he looks bright lemon yellow.
Oh, and Minecraft. And...sigh...Five Nights at Freddys.
>>11855355I just want more Hearts of Steel figures.
[spoiler]test[/spoiler]
>>11855369I've got mine, and I assume you've got yours. So we've done our partIf we never get big boat Shockwave it's everyone else's fault
>>11855047Cobra Commander looking ass
YO FUCK YOU, GALVATRON
>>11855405>Open, dammit open!
>>11852046OP, add SS86 Sludge refresh to the leaks and rumors.Also, I figured out what that leader Snarl is that’s not in the SS86 line. It’s going to be G2 Green Snarl. So that means we’ll see Red Slag and Teal Grimlock.
Monkeypaw: Severely compromised SG/FP Heatwave that turns into Nexus' frame. Commander price just to spite you/

>>11855415Whats that big plane looking thing up top?
>>11855431
>>11855444Geez a loo, what did that cost?
>>11855452$200, which is actually a pretty good price for a lego set of this size. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/concorde-10318?cmp=KAC-INI-GOOGUS-GO-US_GL-EN-RE-PS-BUY-CREATE-LEGO_GENERAL-SHOP-BC-MM-ALL-CIDNA00000-BDLR_2026&ef_id=Cj0KCQjw94bTBhDQARIsAN3vv0xV3mG4SNE4Zan5rSdSzCg9Qs8exQ7kSn_YavFL1N2Na-vzDn-KD74aAhXZEALw_wcB%3AG%3As&gad_campaignid=23050869530&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADESMXLrjT9QW4HiJ5sKXuB2vJD9r&gclid=Cj0KCQjw94bTBhDQARIsAN3vv0xV3mG4SNE4Zan5rSdSzCg9Qs8exQ7kSn_YavFL1N2Na-vzDn-KD74aAhXZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&s_kwcid=AL%21790%213%21775646481326%21%21%21g%21%21%2123050869530%21181096172810
>>11855454wow fuck that link lmao sorry
>>11855454I dunno how people can afford all those huge lego sets.
>>11855444Nice clean house
>>11855458You're in a hobby where people spend $200 on a box of four toy robots.
>>11854840>>11854847What about Logos Prime via Galaxy Force Soundblaster via Earthspark Soundwave?
>>11855367Here's a silent review:https://youtu.be/JdNk1IZIYtw?si=ZDOuX57LHoEI43_khttps://youtu.be/_AdWV-UjmWY?si=0z_7pQJ8pea6_EauAt the end of the day the easiest way to get an idea of Swindle's color is just looking at the yellow paint on Bruticus's toe. It seems to be a close enough color match as in Brawl's case.
>>11855491>two shades of yellowThis is gonna be like Origin Bee with parts browning or bleaching.
>>11855613>two shadesIf you look closely plenty of transformers have two shades of the same color nowadays due to the different plastics they use, so it's not proof that the POM parts are going to always be affected by extreme photodegradation. Time will tell.
>>11855662Which other characters will be repainted into limbs?Alpha Bravo?Brawl?Does Brawl connect to the Silverbolt frame?
>>11855662They look like knockoffs.
>>11855677Some earlier leaks said Alpha Bravo and Guzzle (from Alpha Bravo and Brawl, presumably) which will probably be the other limbs. Unless someone's tried to cram Brawl onto Silverbolt and it worked you're either gonna need an Onslaught or they're actually gonna give Nexus his own frame at some point in the future.
>>11855700Meant to say from Vortex, not from Alpha Bravo lol
Gravedigger's alt mode folds up entirely onto his back, that's a bummer. Could they not manage a hood chest?
>>11855680Why didn't they release this at the same time as Optimus? And why is his weapon double-barreled?
>>11855748I dont think anyone here would know
>>11855751It's not unreasonable for someone ITT to have some insight as to why Hasbro spreads its waves so thin. I mean, it takes like two years to collect Combiners now.
Stupid question but were the Predacons in G1 the same size as the Dinobots? And I’m talking about the cartoon because I know the toys for both of those were the same size because I have both. Because if that were true then would be be seeing Leader Class Predacons (Commander Razorclaw) in the future?
>>11855757I dunno, I see a lot of people just make shit up hereLike that guy who said Toyhax was part of Hasbro but never posted proof
>>11855382nta but no way I'm ever spending $30+ on a deluxe when that deluxe is bumblebee being so insanely hollow as he is.I would pay $30 for megs but oh well. I can live without him
>>11855760>>11855751>>11855748It's because you're more likely to buy other figures while you're waiting for the figure you actually want to be released, since you're keeping your eye on the franchise for longer. If they just released all the Thirteen Original Primes all at once, many people would just buy the 13 then be done with it. But since they drip-feed them to us, people buy other unrelated figures to sate their hunger.
>>11855759>were the Predacons in G1 the same size as the Dinobots?No, they were roughly what you'd call voyager sized. About the same as the Constructicons.
>Latest new Legends Chapter has Star Optimus Prime (not convoy) show up to beat up Nemesis Star Convoy with zero build up.Weird.
Are the IDW comics any good? They seem to be a little ridiculous, but I am craving "mature" Transformers stories.
>>11855806IDW is not mature, watch the live action movies instead because that's the best you are going to get.
>>11855806Nobody here likes them so that will answer your question if you take your feelings about out opinions into account
>>11855806>idw>goodLol no, read Dreamwave, old movie comics and Skybound till issue 25>>11855816based
>>11855806Infiltration is fucking kino
Watch Landquake just be a Brawl repaint thus forcing people to not only have a spare Superion frame but also a spare Bruticus frame just to complete Nexus
Nexus Prime's combined mode is officially called Nexus Maximus. Hasbro actually brought the dildo name back lmao.>>11855830That's all but confirmed. Mark already hinted at it months ago.
>>11855816>>11855822>>11855826What's so bad about IDW
>>11855870>TRANS formers
>>11855870There's gays and trannies... for like 20 issues out of 400 or something Its really more the writing and the blatant stealing of doctor who plot lines but its easier to post things like this >>11855893 who arent wrong
>>11855870The best TLDR I can give is that its extremely inconsistent due to switching main writers at various points, the storylines are pants-on-head retarded, and the later stuff becomes tumblr fanfiction. They restarted it with a different comic in 2019 and I think that one is okay for the most part, if meandering with shitty art near the end.
>>11855870I didn't say it was bad, just not mature like you are looking for. Its a fun series of comics but it tries a little too hard to be surface level "mature" while never really committing to it.>the robots are kissing but who cares about that now, swerve just blew his own face off that silly gooseLike I said, the live action movies for all their faults are much more mature.
>>11855870Shit story (Unicron was hugged to death with the power of love and anticolonialism), Star Saber was butchered like others JG1 guys, characters were unlikeable etc.
>>11855830The thing I never got about the spare frames argument is, if you're into combiners enough to want the full Nexus Prime combiner then wouldn't it stand to reason you have Superion and/or Bruticus already, since they're much higher profile characters?Like, who are these people that so invested in a nobody like Nexus and his limbs but who don't want the Aerialbots and Combaticons? Is this just contrarianism run amok (as usual)?Now, I could totally get it if you told me you need an extra frame to display Nexus/Bruticus/Superion all at the same time, sure. The problem with that is that a lot of the same people I see complaining are also the ones who don't like display shelves and insist that we should actually play with our toys.
>>11855870They had SOME good ideas but most of it is bad fanfic-tier, with fags and trannies everywhere, Marvel quipping constantly, and edgy OC donut steel characters everywhere like Tarn, Drift, etc.
>>11855941I liked killer racist Star Saber. He was fun.
>>11855903>There's gays and trannies... for like 20 issues out of 400 or somethingYou're understating it. Gay relationships (Chromedome and Rewind, Cyclonus and Tailgate) and Arcee being Galvatron's mtf brother are all major plot points in the post-war books.
>>11855944>spending $100 + 100 + 45 + 40 40 + 27 + 27 + tax + tip to make 1 (one) half-assed combiner with a frame that isn't colormatched
>>11855962Wait, why two 100s?
>>11855966Silverbolt (needed for torso) and Onslaught (for tank leg)
>>11855962A normal TF fan would have already spent the $100 each on Silverbolt and Onslaught already anyway, that was the point.And I agree that the Nexus combiner will be half-assed, but I also don't care because I have no interest in it anyway. Gain taste.
>>11855970I...what?
>>11855976There's going to be a tank leg that's a Brawl recolor or retool.It might be "Landquake", but I hope it turns out to be Guzzle for maximum lulz. I want these Nexusfags to end themselves, not even joking.
>>11855978Okay, and that requires spending 100 for Onslaught and his frame....how?
>>11855980Tell me, Boco-san, can Brawl attach to Superion's leg?
>>11855980Because you can't connect a tank shaped leg to a stock Superion leg frame
>>11855983>>11855987You act like its possible to rip off Bruticus' leg and stick it on the Superion frame or something. The original Nexus' limbs were all flying vehicles anyway (except for Landquake, and they already replaced him). They'll probably redeco the other two Aerialbots with new heads and call it a day.
>>11855994>You act like its possible to rip off Bruticus' leg and stick it on the Superion frame or something.It literally is you dumbfuck. The thighs use combiner wars connectors. Mark even SHOWED the intended combination to everyone.
>>11856000Well yeah, but that was before they showed off the new Nexus-specific limbs. Who knows what they're doing with them.
>>11855957Transformers don't have biological sex, so how can they be gay?
>>11856008By smooching each other
>>11856008Believe it or not, they added "spark types" which were basically genders at one point. Someone on tumblr then pointed out that all the guys were one type, and all the girls were the other, so the writer panicked and dropped it.
>>11855994>You act like its possible to rip off Bruticus' leg and stick it on the Superion frame or something.Uh...
>>11856023The leg frame isn't permanently connected to the waist?
>>11855972>A normal TF fan would have alreadyIf a normal TF fan has shit taste then I am proud to be an abnormal TF fan. Congrats on dropping $400 on screen-inaccurate tooner frameslop KWAB
>>11856026Uh...no? They attach at the knees, the thighs are permanently connected to the waist but nothing below the knees.No hate or anything but...have you actually handled these figures?
>>11856033No, I'm fine with the old CW Superion and don't have Onslaught yet.
>>11856031>then I am proud to be an abnormal TF fan.And there you have it, it all goes back to contrarianism. Just like I said.> screen-inaccurate tooner Isn't this a contradiction? Isn't the whole point of "tooner" that it looks just like the show?>frameslopHe says, while also bitching that Nexus won't come with a frame of his own.
>>11855265The stock one is accurate, but only to some scenes. His head changes around a little every now and then.
>>11856040With how wildly inconsistent Armada's animation could be, I have no doubt the stock head matches some scene or other but it certainly isn't accurate to how Optimus typically was drawn. The antenna were pretty consistently drawn angled away from the head, not straight up like the Legacy sculpt.
Is Timelines Megatron a deluxe? Lame... gay...
>>11856105They all are.
>>11856038>contrarianismNew =/= good. >Isn't this a contradiction?No, it's a business model. Hasbro makes one toy to be "as close to Sunbow as a non-MP can be" then releases a sidegrade a year later at a higher price point.>He says, while also bitching that Nexus won't come with a frame of his own.Yes, EVERYONE should bitch about incomplete about half-assed incomplete product that will probably get HasbroPulseTM-exclusive DLC. It's preying on FOMO and there's no excuse (besides line go up infinitely) for a multinational corp like Hasbro to do that. The same is true for Haslab and MTO Seekers.
>>11856040>>11856099And it's not as though I disliked the stock head, it just didn't quite capture the likeness IMO like I think New Bee's does.
>>11856108>then releases a sidegrade a year later at a higher price pointWhich you know you don't have to buy right?There's no way we're seeing a new Superion or Bruticus again for many years (probably another decade, which is around how long since their CW versions came out). But even if we did...I'd be sticking with the ones I have. Perfectly happy with my AOTP versions, the ones you claim are too tooner yet too inaccurate at the same time somehow.Schrodinger's combiners I suppose.
>>11855127>Boy, I sure wish Fred would tell us to split up about now!
>>11855366wasnt another one already 2 guys>>11855458I mean he's got a house that probably costs 700k depending on the state, so
>>11855662A little remolding in alt mode would have done a lot of lifting for these guys. Having them turn into funny colored earth modes just doesn't cut it.
>>11852105>>11852126B A S E D >>11852490>EUI'm so sorry Anon
>>11856113I just wish the head was slightly bigger, or went down on the peg further. Same for those custom sideways heads, too small. Can barely appreciate the eyes.
>>11855870>Did so much damage with woke slop and faggotry that they literally had the IP forcibly taken away from them>First Issue of the new Comic from somebody else outsold THE ENTIRTY of your IDW slop>"Well maybe Hasbro or Takara will do some of the GOOD IDW characters"
>>11856184
>>11855127I wonder if it would be possible to put Shaggy's head on Scooby the way that one anon got Windblade's head onto Ravage...
So how are they gonna do the frame parts for Nexus Prime combiner? Do they really expect us to buy an extra Silverbolt and Onslaught to complete him or will they do something like bundle them with one of the deluxe or voyager combiner members and sell it a a Leader Class?
>>11855851>Nexus Prime's combined mode is officially called Nexus MaximusHilarious if true. Arise, Dildomus Prime.
>>11856252It was a matter of balance
You guys are going to have to fill me in on this dildo thing.
>>11856466When this guy came out there was a big dildo available online with the same name (Nexus Maximus) so when people searched for the toy they got hit with a wall of rubber cocks.
>>11855662I'm not getting these shitters unless Nexus gets his own new-mold frame, but I do appreciate bots with unique faction symbols
>>11856193>GOOD IDW charactersNo such thing
>>11856471>when you attempt to make your own mecha out of lego but you simply do not have the right sets.
>>11856471>check wiki for more info>"The debate is still on as to whether Nexus Maximus constitutes a choking hazard."Unbelievable.
>tomyUh, and takara?
>>11856521Mindwipe?
finally got meself a Missinglink Arcee with the pulse sale. I still feel like I overpaid kinda but for now I'm just pleased as punch to own the thing, it really is a beauty. I'm a little worried about losing the tiniest gun ever made though...
Behold BruticusHaving it in hand I can see why people saying it looks small It's one of those cases where the general body proportion does not reflect the actual size of the thing. But the engineering is good and if you are lucky getting one QC free you will have a funny time with this
>>11855870The problem with american comics is that they get passed around from writer to writer and artist to artists constantly, like a used whore. So there might be an amazing 10 or so issues with a great plot that ends on a hook only to be picked up by some incompetent retard that fucks everything up. IDW is not exempt from this and has some absurdly low lows as a result
>>11856533I put the stickers on mine and it just looks amazingand im not a sticker guy ever
>>11855006With the confirmation that there won't be a unique frame for Nexus Prime, who wants to bring torches, pitchforks, and all other kinds of sharp objects towards the Hasbro panel? Let's kill them.
>>11856558I have it on good authority that the frame's going to be its own thing, sold separately. When not in use, it'll transform into a giant, blue and red Nexus Maximus dildo that you can use to fuck yourself in the ass in much the same way Hasbro already is, just literally.Also, it's going to cost about $200.
>>11856552I'm thinking of leaving the stickers off mine, for a more pure prototype look. But I can always change my mind. Looks great either way, and the packaging is immaculate tooIt's still surreal to me that this thing even exists
>>11856569I'm really forward to GrimlockI've got at least one of every mould so far
>>11856573I was back and forth but I think I'll get Grimlock too
Got a refund for my Commader Onslaught since it came with some paint defects. Since I was told I could keep, I guess I'd rather just fix it than buy another and play the qc lottery. Anyone know matching paints for the Onslaught visor and the Bruticus silver hip skirts? I also had an issue with the paint for the truck but I can fix that.
>>11856573Arcee's my first ML, none of the others i could really justify for the price and I'm more into the oddball nature of unproduced prototypes and weird recolors(plus I just like Arcee), so if they went further with more concept characters I'd be really interested but obviously they gotta make the characters people actually want first.I wonder how much a Missinglink Unicron would end up costing...
>>11855806IDW is fine before Dark Cybertron.
>>11855944I didn't get Superion or Bruticus because one looked like shit and I already own MMC's Bruticus. I wanted a better Nexus because I wanted an articulated glossy candy man.
I LOVE ULTRA MAGNUS SO MUCH I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT RIGHT NOW
>>11856608I REPEAT: I AM A FAGNUS FOR MAGNUS
>>11856608He's really good I just couldnt get over them making him outscale the dinobots
>>11856471I can see it, the original concept head. It's so much cooler...
Unf I didn't know about thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU06CUwyoQo
>>11856608>>11856611He looks good but I can't tolerate the "fake" truck. Magnus will always be a white Optimus to me.
>>11856604>contrarianism continues
>>11855944Dont like Superion snd that's the only one he's compatible with. He also didn’t need to be a frame nor based on the shite One design.
>>11856662He also didn't need to be a combiner. Making the 13 "le first gimmicks" is retarded.
I think I know the reason why a new Hot Spot is taking so long besides the full booking of Commander slots: how to make a launch pad and repair bay mode separate from the main body, which is honestly trivial if you look back at Takara Tomy's Rescue Force toys. Maybe the fold-out repair arms might be an issue?
>>11856569What are the chances we get that ladybug girl
>>11856683probably almost zero, since it wasn't designed by Takara, and since she didn't get a toy for Hasbro to import unlike the Deluxe Insecticons it's probably in a really hazy area legally.Then again because the concept art is so obscure and nonexistent Bandai or whoever owns the rights might genuinely not give a shit or even know about it so it's not zero. Just really really close.
Everyone knows all about Decepticon High Command. Where's the Autobot equivalent? Optimus and his top administrators. Should be Jazz, Prowl, someone else.
>>11856745Ironhide and Goldbug are pretty high ranking
>>11856719I just want a CHUG version. Remold Blackarachnia
>>11856672That was his whole identity. May as well no them at all. what else would he be?
>>11856651>>11856608I don't have this figure. Does the cab figure into the robot mode at all?
>>11856539waaaaaaaaaait a minute......
>>11856745>>11856746Jazz, Prowl, and Ironhide have been largely neglected by Transformers media.
>>11856752The entire "truck" folds into Ultra Magnus' head, chest, and back, which interlock into the rest of his body. You're able to do all this without separating the cab and trailer parts but most of the time that sliding joint that connects them will just pop off. I feel like a 3P could easily make an inner robot to replace the fold-out cab.
>>11856745The Autobot top officers don't usually match their real-world popularity in importance the way the cons do.Bumblebee is functionally the second-in-command like Starscream but he's just a scout.
>>11856625That's fair, Grimlock and his boys should be among the biggest.>>11856651I also enjoy him being a white Optimus, so here's something for you.>>11856752The cab is just a bunch of panels that fold into the chest and backpack in robot mode.>>11856784>I feel like a 3P could easily make an inner robot to replace the fold-out cab.That would be rad, I'd take one. Also still waiting on a white SS86.
>>11856758Really? because they're constantly getting new toys
>>11856786That's why I said Goldbug. Bumblebee was just a scout but Goldbug was bumped up to Espionage Director
>>11856821yeah so you'd think they'd get a little more attention on-screen, right?Ironhide is my favorite so it's a bit of a sore point for me
>>11856745The Autobots have no equivalent since they rotate their roster in each continuity. But if anything, we would go based on the Live-Action Films: Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Jazz.
>>11856824Ironhide has at least two competitors in the "big guy" role between Grimlock and Bulkhead, so can't be helped.
>>11856827I suppose he's also gotta compete with ratchet for the old war vet schtick
>>11856719I’ve always wondered if something similar would happen if Takara ever did a Missing Link Shockwave, given his original mold is basically considered lost since no one knows who owns the rights to it
>>11856837Ratchet should go back to being the unserious medic he was in G1
>>11856826>But if anything, we would go based on the Live-Action FilmsThere is no reason to go off of 20 year old movies that kept every Autobot besides Optimus and Bumblebee interchangeable.
>>11856842>"When does the party begin?"I'm gonna start saying that.
>>11856842>>11856852I can imagine there also being a bit of Techcs Farzenberg from After War Gundam X in Ratchet as well.
>>11856843Sorry, I should have just said "the first live-action film"
>>11856842>the unserious medic he was in G1With all the shit that happened to him in the comics, the unseriousness lasted very little.
>>11856818No one really wants that old style toy desu. If only they'd make a good looking moderm one
>>11856752Observehttps://x.com/TransformersHQ1/status/2079756445499764972/video/1
>>11856953Nah, I love that mold and I want it in more colors
>>11856651He looks good but I can't tolerate the "fake" Optimus. Magnus will always be a unique truck to me.
>>11856949Bob Budiansky actually made a joke about that once during an interview
>>11856573>I'm really forward to GrimlockME GRIMLOCK THINK ANON NEED TO TAKE IT SLOW
>>11856827man it'd be fun to combine grimlock and bulkheadgive him Prime Bulkhead's personality, with just a hint of Animated's occasional dumbness (like he's not great with book smarts), but because he's a hard-bitin' hard-fartin' ugly ugly sonofa glitch, he got to this planet and went 'trucks? so I have to just stay folded up and roll around? no way, what else you got. oh hey what's THIS thing called? a DINOSAUR? hell yeah'
>>11856852I'm imagining it being said in this really calm, reedy, high-pitched voice like Lusjelton from Panda Bractice.
>>11857044good man. we all do that when writing.>>11857152Truckasaurus
>>11857152basically this guy but not retarded
>>11857172>>11857152Good idea. My favorite "dumb" characters are ones who are actually really smart in ways that most of the cast isn't. For example, in Prime, Bulkhead says that he's as good at building things as breaking things, which implies he's an expert structural engineer.
>>11857152you're basically describing Rhinox. Now he's the strong and smart guy.
>>11857230rhinox is book-smart, he's just very chill.I meant yknow, keep him as Kilowog but make him a dinosaur because he's also a party animal.
>>11857230Dude doesn't get the credit he deserves. He found a way to intercept a spark before it joined the matrix. Think about that in human terms. You have a loved one in the hospital. They've barely been hanging in there, and finally, it becomes too much. They're dead. You'll never hear from then again, everything concerning them in your life will forever be in the past tense.Then this guy comes in the room with a machine and says "wait here, I'm going in." He straps on his fucking headset or whatever, proceeds to surf the astral web, and snipes your loved one's soul before it can go to Heaven/Valhalla if you're Jewish.A nurse then rolls in a stretcher that has what looks to be a manakin of some sort on it. The guy, still wearing his VR headset, plugs a USB cable into the manakin, and it immediately takes the shape of your loved one. They're back. You'd be fuckin amazed. This man has cheated death for the betterment of both your life and mankind as a whole. You're in awe of what this means as a society.Or at least that's how it was supposed to go. The manakin was actually exposed to transwarp radiation and your loved one comes back with a blend of their organic self but adorned shiny metallic parts and they're inexplacibly able to produce a hoverboard from the back of their shins.
>>11857230>>11857405I hate how much they shafted Rhinox in the later parts of BW and especially BM. He should have gotten a Transmetal upgrade, especially because his TM toy is one of the coolest
>>11857439He was awesome in BM.
4ish hours until the transformers panel
Oh hell no, this is $40?
>>11857515Issa Swindle.
>>11857515I dunno, the Fail of Cybertron shit design raised the bar pretty high on hollow Swindles. You'll have to come back missing at least twice as much as that for me to even see something amiss.
>>11857405Jews go to Valhalla?
>>11857515>>11855491Preordered it...and im a poorfag (i have just 500 bucks left).i'd rather have Vortex and Swindle and probably will finish Bruticus someday. than miss Swindle and will be left out...I know it's a bad decision but...what else i have... there is no other choice.
>>11857439>especially because his TM toy is one of the coolestYeah, he, Megatron, Tarantulas,Terrorsaur, Rattrap, and (surprisingly) Waspinator had some of the coolest Transmetal toys of the bunch. In comparison, I never really cared for Cheetor's, felt Airazor's was kinda lame, and thought Primal's had a bit of a lackluster transformation (though it looked cool and is definitely my preferred version of the character). Pretty much all of the TM2s were awesome, though.
>>11857405Okay anon you just made me snicker on several counts. I'm imagining nebbish jewish vikings now.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mTjhokfnhSrK3B2yesFTjcqeyMyMCzjLgThey uploaded the full playlist of that cover band doing the Transformers Movie soundtrack. It's about as mid as you'd expect.
>>11857559Pretty sure that was a joke, anon>>11857623I think they all needed a little help on the maximal side, but rhinox's is a perfect followup to his original toy. Just not so much how he looked in the show.
That Leader Snarl Walmart listing is the G2 Snarl in green.You heard it here first.
>>11857818Why are you green?
>>11856745Whichever ones were brought back during the first wave of Action Masters: Grimlock, Jazz, Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Blaster, Inferno, um..Snarl, and Prowl.Also add Devastator to the ‘Cons
>>11857829Anon you can't just ask people why they're green!
>>11857777>Pretty sure that was a joke, anonHe sounded pretty certain.
>>11857861the joke wouldn't work if you were like 'haha lol'
>>11857875I believe Vikings are a lost tribe of Israel
>>11857887so they're...Lost Vikings?

>>11858073>this Red Alert moreso resembles his cartoon model and not Sideswipe'sOn the contrary, he's got Sideswipe's details already molded in, like the triangle on the crotch or the squares on the knees.This is 100% a new Sideswipe mold.
>>11858076>>11858075I'm a big fan of Megatron being a triple changer like with his BBM figure
>>11858083I like how you can tell just from that stock pose that it's got way better articulation than Grimlock.

>>11858075>>11858076>>11858083Holy FUARK
>>11858117I love announcements of announcements!
Megatron isn't a triple changer, his back kibble detaches and forms the dragon.
>>11858068frumpy. disappointing, if expected.
>>11857405Don't forget the part where Dinobot starts posturing about how he's going to take your dying loved one's job and Rhinox chokes him the fuck out immediately.
>>11858066Looks a lot like the FOC Shockwave
Why do they refuse to give titan class dinobost functional jaws?
>>11858131At least it looks like her this time, dedicated mold and everything
>>11858063>>11858066Almost feel bad for Transformers One fans. The only character worth making a toy of left is Darkwing but Hasbro will never do it.
>>11858138Of course they will, and they already confirmed they're making all the Seekers too.
>>11858139Pulse exclusive, but so is the Optimus so it's not that surprising
>>11858087so we're going to cycle through the first two years' guys yet again.
>>11858075wait WHAT?That's actually almost really cool. actually it looks like if you remove the shield, it'd be fine? well it'd still have a really obvious neck joint like movie Sludge, but>>11858083plantigrade feet again. sigh. maybe they'll pose better..

So, he's not being included

SHREDHEAD MALE CONFIRMED, THEY/THEM TRANSEXUALS DESTROYED
Son of a bitch dammit, that Red Alert looks really, really good.So the Haslab is multiple characters, huh?
fucking hell, why do they just REFUSE to make fembots actually look female?
>>11858247Why would anyone think he was anything other than male? That deco on his alt mode is practically dripping with testosterone.
>>11858251>So the Haslab is multiple characters, huh?It's the entire Yankees baseball team, as Transformers.
>>11858263Oh good, I can skip it.Seriously though, I wonder if its a combiner team. Maybe a new set of Seacons.
>>11858252What do you want, a gigantic set of tits?
>>11858259I'm mostly shitposting, but not once is Shredhead referred to as anything but a "they" in the EU comics. Happy to see him get a mold though
>megatron isn't a triple changer, the dragon is just all the accessories stapled togetherand here I thought the designers actually put effort into doing something cool for once
>>11858272Not him but yes that would be cool
>>11858266Chinese leaker said it's Primus.
>>11858275Only because he's multiple Sparks in one body. >>11858281Oh, I get it bigger. Bigger because he's a big guy.
>>11858284I thought it was one spark made from the fragments of many sparks. Either way I just know the writers were attempting to get a they/them foot in the door. Skybound has been playing the EU very safe but they are going to try and get their shit in where they can.
>>11858289If it matters, the newest issue has Shredhead use "I" when talking about himself, so it sounds like they might be merging together or something.
HasLab Optimal Optimus because “swinging”Monkey swings
>>11858272Yes
>>11858252You can either have a feminine body OR not be a shellformer.
>>11858280>>11858311Okay, here you go.
>>11858252Word on the street is she's also coming with a wrench accessory you can't see here on the render
>>11858327She is, they said so at the panel.Can't wait to get her.
>>11858109He looks kinda ass honestly, the voyager still is a fantastic toy.
>>11858104The leader was always pretty bad, the voyager was the actual good one.
>>11858053>swideswipe mold with a spoilerFUCK
>>11858252>fucking hell, why do they just REFUSE to make fembots actually look female?I usually echo this sentiment, but this Nautica is actually really good looking by Hasbro standards.
>>11858272No, but she did have a notable bust, the figure should still have that.
I wanna ask, for those who have any Cybertron Primus mold and the HasLab Unicron, what do they look like in planet modes?
>>11858390I only have Primus, but I can just tell that next to Unicron he'd look like a little moon.
>>11858068Her chest is really flat compared to the source material.
>>11858252>IDW>femaleLol
>>11858313Looking at her transformation scheme, she doesn't use her center at all. Front is just legs folded in on shelf, then bits on the lower arms, and a good chunk of backpack. If they plan to give new colors, head and chestplate and call it Waverider I wouldn't be surprised.
>>11858409Give her a new head and massive tits so we can finally get a new Thunderblast.
>>11858215new footage connecting it to the Bay movies because everything needs to be a shared universe now
>>11858259The wiki loves that shit. They cream their jeans anytime a character's gender isn't certain. they think Omega Supreme in a NB in the new comics too

>>11858408Trannys ruin everything
>>11858197So what do we think it'll be? >X-Men 97 style show continuing after The Rebirth>complete retcon of season 3/4 as part of the "apology tour" and making a new series after the movie>Just a teaser for season 3 >Teaser for the Energon show>Something else thats probably worse somehow
>>11858075>>11858076feels good to be a megachad
>>11858084For you
>>11858421I'm just confused why Skybound even refers to him with such pronouns at all. Like, I get doing it with Shredhead since it's an amalgamation of all the sparks of Cliff's clan, but why Omega? Did they just do it for him for the sake of it?
>>11858509do you really not know their goal?
>>11858252This gives me a little more hope for Animated Slipstream
>>11858513Oh I'm well aware, I just prefer they keep their faggotry to OCs like Shreadhead and Nightshade
>>11857405God damn it Rhinox was awesome and I wish his Kingdom toy wasnt so disappointing. It actually was part og what made me stop collecting much. (BW got me back after years.)
>>11858509Once I started looking up my favourite glup shittos and half of them had some stupid bullshit retcon Ingave up trying to make sense of it.
>>11858023It almost looks like Prime Shockwave. Primebros we're eating so good...
>>11858023Im still mad they didnt go with something more creative like an angler fish. (Its light would be like shockwaves monoeye.) I dont know maybe if it was a Beast Wars whale Id like the idea more
>>11858509Probably to make Titans like him these huge, alien beings that are beyond comprehension.
>>11858425Well, I was saying about the size differences between their planet modes to see if Primus necessarily needs a HasLab, and if he does get one, it would fail unless they pull out all the stops and reveal the stretch goals early like the last two (for Omega Prime, Blue Bolts was made into a full Weaponizer when they initially plan on making her a static weapon, and then came the Matrix Blade and the rising road stands, and maybe the addition of the RID Cerebros, while Liokaiser immediately started things with Deathcobra and the Fierce Fighting Battle Staffs, before hiding the display stand and storage for the staffs).
>>11858555I'm pretty sure Haslab Unicron could hold Primus' planet mode in his hands.
>>11858459>>Something else thats probably worse somehowDING DING DING DING
>>11858558What about eating Primus while both are in Planet Mode? If that fits, then there's no need to see a HasLab Primus.
I don't want expensive haslab shit. Just give me Primus at leader class size and be done with it.
>>11858564Shouldn't Primus be BIGGER than Unicron, though? Unicron was literally walking around on him in the movie.
>>11858609I said this about Tidal Wave
>>11858620How exactly was he gonna eat Cybertron, carve it up with a knife?
>>11858638I would be perfectly fine with big dudes at smaller more affordable sizes, especially because titan class Tidal Wave ended up being QC hell
>>11858642Shred it into bits, then eat the chunks, I guess. Pretty sure Primus is actually supposed to be the same size as him in both modes, but there's a bunch of space debris that built up over him like a shell while he's been asleep - Primus is buried at the core, like the Tootsie Roll in the center of a Tootsie Pop, so Unicron was gonna dig him out first after smashing through all the cities and shit everyone built on the surface.
>>11858708>Primus is buried at the core, like the Tootsie Roll in the center of a Tootsie PopHow many licks to devour your wretched little planet Cybertron?One, two, a-three
>>11858132I love that moment because as glazed as Dinobot got by the writers(for good reason), they understood that at that moment it was important he was made into a total bitch. Even in Dinobot probably could've defeated Rhinox in a fight, it didn't matter, Rhinox made his point so clear Dinobot had no option but to stand down.
>IDW NauticaNow do the rest of the fembots.
>>11858737Gimme fuckin Nickel Troon garbage aside gimme Anode too, I'm a sucker for biplanes.
>>11858737They should take this as a chance to redo Windblade as an apology for the legacy toy. The do Chromia. >>11858745I feel like an Anode and Lug 2-pack HAS to be on their shortlist.
>>11858750>I feel like an Anode and Lug 2-pack HAS to be on their shortlist.I doubt it but that'd be pretty cool so long as they aren't locked to online sale or something.>ChromiaI like my T30 one just fine, I don't need an inferior replacement right now
>>11858728Yep, that show had some fucking incredible writing and that moment was a perfect example.Dinobot then gets his shit together and defends the base with Rattrap of all people. He grumbles, but he does it. He's like a dog. He only tries to fill a power vacuum because it must be filled by the best candidate, not for any self-serving reason. Once it has been filled, he goes back to loyal servitude.
>>11858278>>11858104Hey at least this anon'll be happy now
Oh no no no trans(formers) sisDidn't we stop this?
>that's the shade of grey they're going withGrim.
>>11858811it does look rather bad.. and the legs are pretty bleh. and what the fuck is his right hand? How do the back spikes look so huge in robot mode yet so tiny in dino mode, and why aren't they making cool fin wings like they're meant to?
>>11858806are those c-c-curves!?AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME HASBROMAN
Too bad the titan grimlock and titan scorn have such shit colors. I loved the power ranger dinobots.
>>11858823Titan won't be as cute either
>>11858023Fans should've chosen "gun" and they would have to do it, they would just have to face the consequences and just do it
Hello faggotsI'm a guest from /mlp/Hasjew fucked us over HARD by announcing the next gen to be>a 9-minute YouTube series>with two main characters missing>godawful artstyle >and new VAs that sound like shitSome other anon claimed that it's "their company strategy" and how Transformers also had a similar "straight-to-YouTube" 9-minute webseries that sucked ass.Is it true? Do these imbeciles really made the YouTube slop their company strategy?
>>11858075>>11858076I hope it looks better in hand, because he sort of looks like a swan.
>>11858811>grey and brown blob at titan class
>>11858859They've been doing that for 15 years. The Prime Wars trilogy was entirely 5-10 minute youtube vids. The reason they did that is it lets them reach kids without investing in TV network licenses and working with Netflix or whatever, also they figured out adult collectors don't watch Saturday morning cartoons. Though I'm not sure how much that applies to MLP.Their current strategy is actually spamming collabs ever since it made them a bunch of money with Magic the Gathering. pic related was originally a joke and then it came true.
While I'm here I just remembered that The Hub (along with its international equivalents) used to have a Transformers show airing around he time of MLP. I actually remember watching it as a kid and later dropping after a major show event I don't entirely recall (I think they gave Bumblebee a proper voice in one season? Don't remember). Can someone recall what the hell younger me was rewatching? Your franchise is kinda nuts with amount of adaptations it has received, not sure if I'm even gonna be able to Google the answer to my question >>11858917>They've been doing that for 15 yearsGrim>also they figured out adult collectors don't watch Saturday morning cartoons. Though I'm not sure how much that applies to MLP.MLP toys are actually pretty weird in that Hasjew /refused to make plushies/. Adult fans of the show didn't really care about plastic brushables or whatever, they just wanted the plushies. The cunts made proper show-accurate G4 plushies only after G% FUCKING ENDED.you can ask >>>/mlp/merch if you're more interested>Their current strategy is actually spamming collabs ever since it made them a bunch of money with Magic the Gathering. pic related was originally a joke and then it came true.Isn't Cocks getting sued by the fucking Board of Hasbro for ruining the brand with unnecessary collabs? Kek
>>11858920>think they gave Bumblebee a proper voice in one season?That's hardly something to get upset and drop a show over - Bumblebee ALWAYS had a proper voice (at least up until the Bayverse movies gave him Wreck-Gar's gimmick).
>>11858920>getting sued by the fucking Board of Hasbro for ruining the brand with unnecessary collabsHasbro is being sued by it's shareholders if that's what you mean, but also because they overprinted and allegedly lied about the 30th anniversary edition selling out and dumped the product in a landfill.
>>11858859>>11858920Thoughts on the cancelled Twilight Sparkle Prime Botcon toy? It would have been a recolor (and maybe head retool) of pic related.
>>11858925>That's hardly something to get upset and drop a show overnah I just remember that after that the show just had exceptionally worse writing>[spoiler] tags are not supported on /toy/.(kinda like Princess Twilight in S3 finale)Again, don't remember much at this point, should probably do my own >research tbdesu>>11858926>because they overprinted and allegedly lied about the 30th anniversary edition selling out and dumped the product in a landfill.yeah I remember something about that getting discussed on /mlp/ kekmany just pointed this as being a /toy/ & /tg/ habbening while the board was still butthurt over Live-Action MLP Movie NOT getting cancelled
>>11858927>no wingsalready kino
>>11858023>wrist swivel + transformation hinge
>>11858252Hasbro has always thought girl toys icky for the most part. Honestly a lot of the designers probably need TRT.
>>11858252I'd only have to replace the head, chest, most of the arms, and give it an ass to make it servicable. Amazing progress on female representation Hasbro! Y'all niggers didn't believe me when I said Windblade was the sign of the end times.
>>11858859Fuck off back to your containment cesspool, horsefucker.
>>11858981^:)
Time to raise a Ruckus!
The only thing I care to get.
Bandai are doing a Missing Link-style VF-117600 yen
>>11858737I genuinely am curious how you pull of Firestar's Firestorm esque head design.
>>11858806My actual Legends Blackwidow is kind of falling apart thanks to various things, so I think I'll pick this up.
>>11858076>Everyone here thinking this is a triplechanger when in reality the dragon is just the backpack, sword and shield combined
>>11858539I honestly don't see the resemblance
No news on Nexus Prime's frame?
>>11859046I imagine it being translucent, with a simple shape like Charmander's tail. Probably would have to compromise on the size of the hair for the sake of transformation.
>>11859069confirmed he's not getting one. the current hope is that we'll get a G2 superion
>>11858984I would've bought this guy had he ever been in a store where I could.
>>11859069
>>11858859
>>11858927What year Botcon was this going to be in again? It would have looked cool I am probabaly in tbr minority but I loved Beast Machine maximals a lot and this would have made him look like be was made of crystals or some mystical warrior or something if they kept the clear plastic
>>11859079Huh. So that's why 3D-printed versions are coming out.
What repaints do you think will be the other two limbs of Nexus?
>Shredhead>Nautica>Red AlertSweet, can't wait to not get them because of fucked distribution and scalping>everything elseskip
>>11859138recolors of Alpha Bravo and Guzzle probably
>>11859138Is Brawl compatible with Superion and Menasor frames?
>>11859069The only downside about this kit is I don't think the individual vehicles have a robot form. At least it's cheaper than getting another Superion frame and two recolours and still being incomplete.
>>11859079>confirmed he's not getting oneThats not true at all.
>>11859232>Perhaps in the futurethat's hasbro corporate speak for "we're not doing it"
new>>11859240>>11859240>>11859240
>>11859238No it means that in 2028-2029 they'll release Heatwave (Onslaught with new heads) as a Generation Selects and if you didn't buy the limb bots and Nexus in 2026 you're fucked.
>>11859046>I genuinely am curious how you pull of Firestar's Firestorm esque head design.Easy. The fire is just an effect part that plugs into the top of her head that comes off so the head fits into vehicle mode. Transform her and plug it in for robot mode. Possible fire coming out of the back of the car in car mode?Also allows for silly things like plugging other things into her head.
>>11858806FRANK'S GONNA FREAK!
>>118591302014. Honestly, I just love Battle Unicorn in general, so I probably would have gotten it even though I don't care for The Horse Show just do that I could have every version of the mold.While we're on the topic of both Battle Unicorn and MLP - while I was glad he actually got to cameo in something, but it bugged me that they A) made him look purely robotic even though he's a Technorganic cyborg and B) scaled him to Windblade instead of to the ponies, because he's supposed to be around the size of the BW cast.Image cropped as best as possible to avoid pissing off certain individuals.
>>11858811another big square hip table. They love those these days.
>>11858917kek.
>>11854775I did not realize this fucker was a leader class. That seems crazy.
>>11857912https://youtu.be/lvExf3gGBTg?is=uKaDvzP2qmUnuqa-
>>11852090It's a premium release.
>>11861162but didnt that require entirely new tooling?
>>11853736>>11853744>>11853870>>11855265>>11855286>>11855288>no Earthrise or SS86 Optimus>got the Armada one instead just because and he was on sale>appreciate a big ol' Optimus, as well as the fact that it's a guy that combines with his trailer>he's just okay, nothing amazing but nothing horribleDo I really need to have watched his show to be blown away
>>11861693I think it's partly because of haslab Victory Saber released a year or so before. Armada Prime is a lot better for its price compared to that.
>>11861707Did people really get bothThat's so greedy
>>11859232Yes
>>11852438Customer service is shit everywhere nowadays. It's rather rare to get someone competent to take care if an issue when you reach out to them.
