Is there a reason why Armada Wheeljack got retired as a character after Armada show wise? He kept showing up in the Energon comics but never appeared in Energon or Cybertron not even in modified form...
>>11882790He reconciled with the Autobots best he could, left the Decepticons, and got the fuck out of dodge.And given how beyond the pale dirty they did Starscream and Demolisher (but especially Starscream), I'm glad Takara made damn show the makers of the Unicorn trilogy could not take Wheeljack and strip away his happy ending
What's the lore behind Mega Zarek? Armada Megatron Suer Super mode? Original character? Local Walmart has him and I'm thinking of getting him but don't know the lore
>>11882829Multiversal Fan Club villain big bad who was a convention exclusive toy. Low production run, the fact that Armada Megatron was one of the most popular Armada molds, and fun colors made him a fan favorite and lots of hoping Has to would retool an Armada Megatron in his colors
Picked up a cheap CHUG Thundercracker recently. The figure is pretty good and makes me want to buy the rest of the seekers. Are they any good and what are my options?
>>11882868Just know that the cheapest way to get the CHUG Seekers are the Takara multi packs, especially since Skywarp can cost you the same price as the Starscream/Thundercracker/Skywarp pack.Also note that there are two CHUG Starscream figures. The initial Classic version has the same drab color scheme as the first MP Starscream while the Generations Starscream has a proper G1 color scheme
>>11882829Megazarak was one of the last OCs 3H made before they lost the license.He was supposed to be a new form of G1 Megatron for a scrapped Generation 3 storyline, but Hasbro at the time didn't allow the convention guys to make toys of major characters.All that 3H published before they went belly up was that Megazarak massacred his version of Cybertron until Defensor, the unreleased blue RID Prime, was the only Autobot left to stop him.After that it gets fucky. FunPub established the mammoth Nemesis Prime was the dead Optimus of Megazarak's world, Megazarak became a multiversal villain traveling through timelines causing havok and there are possibly multiple versions of him running around.
Found this football guy at Walmart today.Idk shit about footballs, but he was on clearance for $12.
His little helmet comes off I love that
I like that he has a little football but he really could use a cudgel, he sees the type to bludgeon opponents. Didn't that one T30 Megatron repaint come with a little football too?
Well, it certainly is a football helmet.If it were more hollow it might fit on a Titan, but his tucked-in legs get in the way.I wonder if the intended display was robot mode, or this? Is it for me, the toy robot enjoyer, or football fans? I never imagined there was much overlap between the two.
>>11883125Yeah we had a whole discussion on that when this was first shownThe consensus was that I'm a retarded faggot for even suggesting there isn't a massive crossover between the two.
>>11882784OP what the hell is that toy next to Wheeljack?
>>11883174OG War for Cybertron Rewind, which was when Hasbro ripped off Bakugan to re invented the cassettes in the style of Bakugan toys that auto transform when dropped to the ground
>>11883172>The consensus was that I'm a retarded faggot for even suggesting there isn't a massive crossover between the two.I had no idea, that seems like a venn diagram that's just two disconnecting circles to me.
>>11883179Still my only representation of Sunder
>>11883194i think it says more about how self-assure sports fans are than anything. I just got done watching a truly baffling Shady Doorags review of a Daria episode and I just don't know what the fuck upbringing that man got.
>>11883228AKSULLYThat's anyone's only representation of SunderThis guy is Sundor
>>11883242I don't like the new bird cassette mold. The Seige one was better
>>11883242"Autobot Rewind" and Sunder
>>11882784We have almost 50 images to go in the current thread, moron.
>>11883284Any thread past 400 post is basically dead and useless. Hence this is the new thread faggot

Join or die Wheeljack. Those are your only options...
>>11883329No, it's a normal poster who doesn't give a shit about the faggots who demand 700-800 post threads that linger at the bottom of the board be treated as the main TF thread and try and nuke threads made by anyone else. Typical pencil dick faggottry you see in posters like >>11883284

Recently bought a "used-minor package damaged-mint" Onslaught/Bruticus off Amazon back on the 9th for 66. Well it finally shipped and will be here Tuesday but here's the kicker, the money got refunded without notice, no email saying it was canceled or the like and shipped after waiting 2 weeks. Wondering how long before amazon notices the screw up but what I'm wondering now is with the Onslaught I bought once it gets here. Figure someone did a swap or did I get an Onslaught for free ?
>>11883395you think you'll actually get it?
I got my Swerve He's ok I guess
>>11883399Heck if I know, I'll find out Tuesday. I'm still honestly expecting it to be swapped. Going to just keep an eye on the tracker in the meantime
>>11883408In my experience, the tracker will just stall out and you never receive anything
>>11883351Yes
Excuse me is this an authentic TFG or is it a 3rd party bootleg? Pic somewhat related, the side of bootleg Thundercracker’s box. Looks like they have 12 versions planned lol
>>11883628Only 12? Are they, stupid? They should have like 100 options on every side.
>>11883628That's how they're packed? I'm thinking of getting Thundercracker now and adding the others one at a time as they become available.
>>11883628its a knock off
>>11883770I'm okay with that
>>11883773good, because the dudes making the knock off are reportedly as good as the real deal with a fraction of the price
Should I keep my rainmakers order? I was just going to resell them.
>>11883770The words bootleg and knockoff are interchangeable. I only wrote 3rd party to trigger autists
>>11883847Did you ever consider that you are the autist anon?
It still stings sunstorm is with that shitty set
>>11883883you make Hasbro execs hard when you say things like that
>>11883883Takara will probably release him in a smaller set next year or you could wait for the cheaper KO of course. Hasbro really loves leaving money on the table and customers unsatisfied.
>>11883890You wouldnt be satisfied wih the SS86 welcoming committee?
>>11883890>Takara will probably release him in a smaller set next yearExclusive molds are locked from Takara too, look at the haslabs.
>>11883925This is true, but on the other hand sunstorm and the shitter makers are just redecos
Sunstorm is a set filler character, the real problem is these prices have gotten so out of control that nobody wants to buy a 4pack
>>11883969Youd have to be pretty retarded to think he is not the main attraction of the entire set, its just another hasbro scam
>>11883980But idiots with toy channels will buy
>>11883985Fat retards like thew are actually working with hasbro so yes
Incoming 3p Ultra Magnus upgrade in December to change his folding shoulder panels to one with a slider
>>11883628>>11883634I hope they do an Action Master Thundercracker. I'd be happy just to get a cheap Sunstorm however.
>>11884040I hope they make the coneheads eventually
>>11884021Interesting
>>11884021i am the only one who thinks those wide shoulders are fine?
>>11884069the arms need to be longer if you're gonna do that. you should look like you could at least barely tap your opposite shoulder, not baaarely reach your opposite armpit.
>Sooo... you like those Earth movies too, huh? >Pretty cool.>Yep.>Pree. Tee. Cool.>...>Primus help me, this is so weird
Man, I'm torn on ordering those New Legends Earthspark figures or waiting to see if Hasbro drops them somewhere else.
>>11884111I can't wait to read their screenplay!
>>11884044Speaking of Coneheads, why hasn't Takara made them from the MP52 mold yet?
>>11884070this. It's not just a "width" issue, it's a question of proportions. If his arms were longer it could pass for stylization of some kind. But as it is, it's just jank. The head being so sunken into the shoulders doesn't help, either.
>>11884069Why would you want fine when you could have great instead?
>>11884248probably because their scheme for the coronation gear failed
>>11884404Which was?
>>11884413buy all MP 52 seekers and you get mailed it, this was on nipland only
>>11884111I don't have Thundercracker but...what the actual fuck is this face...it looks so retarded. it looks like one of those mid-00s 4chan reaction images
>>11884494Just fuck my shit up
>>11884494I like the free Chineese eyelash in the shoulder vent. Also this is the bootleg in case you didn’t know, anon. They dropped the ball on his face pretty bad
>>11884021>>11884053Watch the transformation with new parts, they look way too flimsy, probably won't survive regular play, but are a good option if you don't transform your bots often.
>>11884583>Also this is the bootleg in case you didn’t know, anon. They dropped the ball on his face pretty badoh nice to knowI'm still waiting for my chance to get Starscream and Thundercracker so i was afraid it's bad in person...
>>11884603Its still a good KO though
>>11884583>>11884603Turns out the peg on the back of the faceplate is a bit too long. Shave a few millimetres off and it fits properly.
>>11884588Fine by me. I always found SS86 Magnus' transformation to be a bit of a ball-ache, so I don't do it often.
>>11884069I wouldnt mess with a guy built like that
>>11883445Well I got some good news. The "damaged-mint" Onslaught from amazon came and toy want to know what was even damaged about it? Slight scuff on the bottom and a little bit squished on the right side. That was enough for amazon to damage out a $100 figure for 66.50. No figure swap like I was dreading, everything is here
>>11884719and you already got a refund for it?The honest thing to do would be to let them know, but in my experience, they will just say forget it, keep the money
New Legends... Please...
>>11884733retool into mega-armordrillo!!
>>11884731With a mom and pop shop sure, but fuck Amazon
https://x.com/suni0024open/status/2092423083563094516So cool...
>>11884731Man, Amazon don't care, thats small potatoes. When I bought my Legacy Motormaster from them, they sent me a whole second one for free the day after the one I ordered came in, and I just sent it back to and got a refund
>>11884738sighright, there will be ZERO repercussions for your actions, and there's no ethical component whatsoever because amazon bad...nevermind that in all likelihood they will tell you to keep the money.>>11884742you're even worse, that was flat-out fraud.
>>11884743By the nature of toy collecting we're kinda slaves to Big BusinessBut I ain't going to bat for them
>>11884731Oh they charged me like the day after it shipped, oh well. Happy I got onslaught regardless after trying to hunt him down for weeks and not pay scalper prices
>>11884746which is why you do the right thing regardless of who's lookingBECAUSE those companies -don't- do the right thing, when the entire world is watching.>>11884753ah, there you go then.
Speaking of SS86 Magnus, looks like New Legends is finally doing Delta Magnus next.And some kind of headmaster Arcee in prototype colors.
some good reading
>>11884790What in the flying fuck is happening over there to make the fucking fallen act in a civil manner with autobots
>>11884790The third Arcee in toy prototype colors recently? Crazy if true.
Bruticus really does look better in person compared to the stock images. For sure going to get that 3rd party set that gives him some proper feet and gun. On a side note what even is there for the DNA folks to do with bruticus besides hands, feet and a gun?
>>11884798Liege tried to rape the other 12Star Nemesis Prime is using Cybertron to haxBW Galvatron going sicko Unicron mode
>>11883333No, that anon us correct - it IS a troll, and he's been doing the exact same thing to several other threads on the board for the past week or so.
>>11884940False. Not everyone is your Neca boogieman.
>>11884940anon you are obviously talking to the troll there. who else would espouse that opinion?
With the SS86 starscream fuckery its fair to say transformers are in a big decline, they really need something like a new game or animated series
>>11884798The storyline does explain it, somewhat.-After train wars, he somehow came back to life (he was also notably from another Universe and working for Unicron.-He no longer works for Unicron, but is still an asshole.-He pulled a machinima and tried to use the dead to take his followers to a new universe, he fails.-He then shifted to just abandoning their universe, then got captured by Liege when they left Cybertron.Currently, Galvatron (BWII) is back and is possessed by a revived Unicron. They are currently beyond fucked and as far as they knew, the OG Matrix was missing.... but Delta seems to have it so let's see where that goes.
>>11884955>new gameStupid motherfuckers lit millions on fire in their gaming department twice. Just hire platinumgames again and give us a toyline to go with it.
>>11884845>On a side note what even is there for the DNA folks to do with bruticus besides hands, feet and a gun?I’ve seen it suggested they should do new leg frames/feet that allow Brawl and Swindle to just attach in vehicle mode but that seems very unlikely to me.>>11884955>Target reneges on an exclusivity deal>somehow this means the whole franchise is doomed

>>11884517>Antagony is an excellent paint job of a terrible moldwhat makes it bad? And can you explain what your problem with her legs are? Did you not like her standing so tall?
>>11885098Not that anon but I got her the other week and the ant legs just get in the way for bot and are a bitch to line up in ant mode and the bot legs struggle to support it's own weight so expect a small breeze to knock her over.
https://figsoku.net/blog-entry-519796.htmlFull look at Spinoescudo and the Devil Gigatron recolor of World Dragnus. The former is a game changer, and like with Rexblade, his signature gear has a clear gold recolor as part of a campaign. Stupid guess, but the sword and shield might be able to combine.
>>11885065>>Target reneges on an exclusivity deal>>somehow this means the whole franchise is doomedYes anon thats how it goes
what are the odds of a ss86 scrapper reissue? i didn't get back into transformers until a couple months agoall the other constructicons were fairly easy to get, even if i got slightly upcharged on hook and long haul, but scrapper seems to be gone from everywhere
>>11885303you got fucked
>>11885305maybe i can finangle the bayformers scrapper into the right leg would probably look ugly as sin though
>>11885326No you cant, the connectors are too different
>>11885326Congratulations this is the dumbest thing I’ve read all week
>>11885303Toy arena has him for retail price
>>11884733imagine if we got this guy instead of armada unicron
Is he a must buy just for all the effect parts?
>>11885368Not really, his partsforming IS pretty cool though
>>11885368Is there a way for me to know if those effect parts fit on a certain Transformer without me asking here about any toy I consider buying?
>>11885398If it's a figure from Siege and onwards it's probably compatible.
>>11885098The ant legs look like a schizophrenic designed them. they don't have any of the elegance or shape of ant legs.for one thing, arthropod legs work on a hydraulic system, which means that if you view them from at least some angle (typically overhead) they are a straight line. For another, there are actual rules and geometric angles and shit that make them sleek and cool, not just.. scribbles brought to life.in any case, did you see >>11884594 ?>>118853985mm is 5mm, you must have something to test with.
>>11885398their connectors are 3mm hole, 5mm peg
>>11885368He's a skeletal lava triceratops. That alone is worth getting him for. As for the effect parts - they're all 5mm, so they'll be compatible with any figure (not just Transformers) that has 5mm posts on them.

>>11885715why? it's the g1 thats getting replaced with a better one.
>>11885633>>11885714The DCS looks more toy accurate with the metallics than toon. I assume Hasbro will do another set of dinobots in Studio Series with the toon colors later like the Insecticons so just keep that in mind
>>11885633Slag and Slug still have rubber swords? I'm not going to pretend I know how molds work to use solid swords?
>>11885741>>11885633 #Slag and Slug still have rubber swords? I'm not going to pretend I know how molds work , do they need to make new ones for solid swords?
>>11885743when they redid I think Carnivac from Weirdwolf they replaced the softplastic parts on the back with regular plastic so I assume it's possible if they wanted to.
>>11885744In the case of Carnivac, they outright replaced that whole section, they didn't make the rubbery parts solid (not that they could).So I assume that they would need a new mold if they wanted to cast them in something else.

>>11885810Baja Blast is good but sometimes it tastes weirdly chemical-y.I wish I could have Mt. Dew. Blue is my favorite soda, after Barq's I guess, but I can't handle much caffeine and Dew has toooo much. bring back blue Crush, dammit.
>>11885815blue crush deez balls
>>11885763No one ever needs just one Grimlock.
>>11885824I'm happy with my repainted Kingdom one
>>11885693Makes sense since it's the Diaclone colors and the Missing Link also just came out so it's relevent. I'm sure DNA or someone will put out a custom skull head for people to swap out if they want the evil Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus.
To be fair what else they could paint ultra magnus up, paint him piss yellow like that one lucky figure?
Can't find a good background so the orange wall will have to do. Besides the short shoulder cannons connections, all the tabs and connections firmly connect. All the ranges of movements are there. You can even put in a normal standing pose without being forced into the silly A stance unlike MPG Jinrai and MPG Gen Style Prime. This will look great on the desk.There are some issues. The weakest being the feet. The up and down movement on the feet are friction joints, you can feel those joints are barely holding on to the weight of the figure with the help of the sideway rachets and the shape of the soles. My right one is especially looser.The same inconsistent friction joints issue goes with individual bots and in combined mode. The center waist and thighs rotations are somewhat weaker than I like. The shoulder connection to the left is too tight and the right is too smooth. There are still paint issues that bug me.I am not sure what they can do about these problems. As expensive as this thing is, this is still a toy not a high precision manufacturing product. From everything I have read, on the joint strength issue, everyone seems to have different problems at different spots. Even with that, I would put this around the same quality as Missing link- it is just that it being a lot more complex, there will be more issues. there are still plenty around where I live with normal MSPR (and lower) and how Takara went for a repaint and not reissue, I don't think this sold particularly well. I have not heard if they made any changes to the Police version. Having held this in hand and the fact it comes with a clip for action base, I wonder if we are not supposed to have it not on a base without support. If they actually updated the feet, this is probably almost a 9.5/10 for retail toyNow I am wondering if the current main line combiner needed to be that big? If not, do we even need the frame system anymore?
>>11885859I'll never get used to this not being 3P. it's.. it's 3P. it just is. but somehow it's not. But it am.
>>11885859i like the frame system because the individual figures can actually be figures instead of being gimped due to needing to have dedicated combiner hinges/ ratchets, which was the big issue with a lot of combiner wars/ potp figuresthe ss constructicons probably the best of the pre frame combiners that i know of, but even still they have a bit of jank to them
TF Display at tokyo toyshow>TF x EVA 02>NuLegends Delta Magnus + Red PotP Beachcomber + pink Titanmaster idk-who?
>>11885894also >DCS Dinobot Island 1: Ratchet and Grimlock>DCS Dinobot Island 2: the other 2
>>11885866i dont mind it if it's done well. motormaster's trailer being the frame is fine. silverbolt being able to wear it to be a bigger ship is cool. devastator doesn't use a frame but does have the extra bits as a trailer which is my least favorite ironically despite not being a frame combiner. bruticus seems nice too
>>11885894>Wide shoulders so women can sit on themnaruhodo
Is there any neat and cheap way to cover up SS86 Grimlock's screw holes on his dino head or should I simply learn to ignore them
>>11885923Screws means it comes in 2 parts. The alternative 1-part design would have big ass hollows on one side. When you understand that, screws aren't that unsightly any more.
>>11885928I understand that but it still literally scratches and screams inside my eyesEven pins would have been better because it's at least a flat thing of metal rather than a gaping hole into the abyss>and there's two of them
Been out of collecting for awhile, is Dramatic Capture basically the new Premium Finish? Is PF dead and replaced?
>>11885948Basically yeahTypically they come in three packs and may throw in the odd extra accessory
>>11885922Wow, PotP Beachcomber finally gets a repaint. Damn shame it took so long, the mold mogs the fuck out of legacy or whatever the fuck the new one was.
>>11885922CHUG Power Buggywhat took them so fucking long?
>>11884111man they would've been great friends. I'm always saddened the more I think about IDW how there's so many great dynamics never explored.
>>11885922why Beachcomber is red?it shis one of those Glub Shitto moments?It's so lazy. he's literally just...RED. it's the same. even Cliffjumper is kind of different than Bee despite being a recolor and he has grey/black in his colorsthis is just...RED
>>11885987Who cares what you think? You're European.
HereHave a yamaguchi Having play with it further, if you are getting this I highly recommend that you mess around with razorclaw by itself. There are some hidden joints that are somewhat counterintuitive for usage once you put Razorclaw into the combined mode, but you will find them during transformation, those should be used for posing instead of non-rachet joints.Also, the joints issues I mentioned with the waist and thighs are fine with just razorclaw by itself- I guess you can't really fight physic and gravity. I will try to tighten some screws to see I can fix-up those loose parts (specially the feet)Though all the screws are black colored. Any good way to prevent scratching the paint when screwing? And if that does not work, any good recommendation on what material to use to fill/tighten the space for the joints?maybe something like nano magic tape? Does that damage plastic (yes I know it will hurt paint)?
>>11886015
>>11886016very cool though you have to be extra careful with the paint I guess. Some nip already scratched the leg armor paint
>>11886017
>>11885743looks like solid maybe?
I've just found out that you guys had a jurassic park cross over. Please correct me if I'm wrong but Rexy is just T-Wrecks with different paint right? What are the chances that they release the Dilophosaurus as a stand alone figure without the JP branding?
>>11886023Probably low, I don't believe we've seen any of the collab-first molds work their way into being non-collab TF toys.
>>11886017Thats quite the blemish. Do you have any painting skills to try and touch that up a bit? My brand new Thundercracker also has a big ass scratch like that on one of his wings. Goes right through the painted stripes on the wing
>>11886029not my pic, grabbed it off twittermy copy will probably arrive in a few months lol
Peter Cullen just died
Fuck you
>>11886032Fuck man, so he was the 3rd
>>11886032Was gonna post but captcha was being stupid. Till all are one.
>>11886025thank you anon. A shame but for the 59€ I can just get T-wrecks instead, put him in a dark corner and pretend he's Megatron.
>>11886032fuck
>>11886032Fug
>>11886032>the culmination of Hasbro's apology tour is to literally kill Peter Cullen
>>11886032F
>>11886032say sike right now
>>11886045https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/27/peter-cullen-dead/
>>11885894Please, please let the Dinobots be available individually. I have all the SS86 Dinobots except for Slug because I won't pay rape prices for him.
>>11886047HOLY SHIT FUCK THIS WEEK
>>11883333Nice numbers.
>>11886032FUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK
>>11886032o7RIP
>>11886032F...Let his spark join the Matrix, the greatest of Cybertron.
>>11886032Man, the movie is going to hit even harder now
>>11886060>the movieFuck, I forgot about this. Those showings are going to be plagued with normies now.
>>11886032Don't worry. They'll bring him back for the next season...ha ha...ha....Fuck. This SUCKS.
rest in piece petor
The Apology Tour was pretty gauche from the outset, but if Hasbro doesn't do a hard pivot in their marketing this'll be a new low for themThey just cannot stay the course on this
>>11886032Tank you for everything SAAR till are are Wan
I'm taking the day off.I can't get out of bed.Not after hearing the news.
He is one with the Allspark now…
>>11886090We are sad to hear the news about Peter. Preorder Studio series 86 Optimus primes corpse NOW.
>>11886100Yeah they're gonna have to cancel or delay that redeco for a good few months
>>11886102It was a terrible idea in the first place. The Target damaged Prime is sitting on shelves and not moving and they want to put out the same thing but gray.
>>11886090wonder if they'll still do the theatrical rerun next month, but yea the main art for it is soo badly timed
>>11886103I'm not 100% on the damaged version but if it drops a massive chunk in the UK then I may get it but otherwise I will keep waiting for a Optimus I do want since I don't fancy the 86 commander one due to price and not caring all that much about the trailer and i don't know what other version to get especially since i may also at some point get one of the 86 megatron.
>>11886032RIP to a real one
>>11886104Mate, everyone at Hasbro is cryingThey for sure are going to cancel that funeral thing in UK
>>11886103What would even be the point of it being a transformer? Dead Optimus doesn't turn into a truck, if you want a dead Prime for your display it can just be a statue, hell it doesn't even need articulation.
>>11886032Ah shit. RIP. He lived a good long life and was able to realize the way his work affected literal generations of people.
>I would have waited an eternity for this.>It's over, Prime...
>>11886114Gary Chalk is still young, right?…
>>11886118>NEVER!!!!
>>11886119I think he's in his 70s...
>>11886032Don't worry, Hasbro will bring his voice back through elevenlabs.
>>11886032>>11886040Death has a cruel sense of humor.
>>11885693They should do him in Armada Overload colours>>11885709>or any other part of him that doesn't look like it becomes an optimus truckThe spoiler is lurking under the grille. The rest probably just gets wadded up on the truck bed though.>>11885714>slapped on Wheelie DLCI weirdly love this lil guy and I'm actually sad that only two Grimlocks included one.
Thread theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkjWUVu0zzc
worst marketing campaign timing ever lmfao
>>11886155>>11886104>>11886090I hated this even before passed, so trashy and passive agresive
>>11886032Is it sad? Yes. Was it surprising? Not really. Still RIP, he was a good one
>>11886164You sound like a pussy.
>>11886032So will they dig up Chalk from whatever storage unit they stuffed him or, heavens forbid, do we actually get a new actor?
>>11886180Hasbro is already on the phone with Chris Hemsworth.
>>11886182Yuck
>>11886180Somehow Judd Nelson has returned
>>11886180Does it even matter? The movies/shows/games part of this franchise has been a rotting corpse for the last decade anyway
>>11886180It'll probably be Jon Bailey, he does a pretty decent Cullen impression.
New wild king
>>11886195
There will be no war today, Optimus.
>>11886180>So will they dig up Chalk from whatever storage unit they stuffed himChalk is still out there doing stuff. He's a great actor and honestly deserved to accept the mantle of Optimus Prime for a while.But I doubt it'll happen. I also don't know what his "Optimus" voice sounds like these days. He's kind of got his own sound, and I'm willing to bet they want to go for as exact of a replacement as they can find. Either that, or Prime will become the first legacy character to just fully be replaced by AI.
>>11886180didn't you got a new optimus voice already? I think in "one"? >>11886164>so trashy and passive agresivehow so?
>>11886207>or Prime will become the first legacy character to just fully be replaced by AI.Darth Vader kind of has been that already, James Earl Jones signed off on it before he died and they used it for some of the recent Disney slop. I'd rather not AI Optimus's voice, the chance for experimentation will be lost.
>>11886208>didn't you got a new optimus voice already? I think in "one"?Chris Hemsworth. And he sucked. It'd be an awful tragedy if he somehow got springboarded into the role just because he was the last person to play him.>>11886210>the chance for experimentation will be lost.It's already been lost. We don't do new/expirimental things anymore. Everything has to remain the same for as long as possible for marketability/brand recognition.
>>11886208>how so?Just get the vibe that hasbro hates transformers
>>11886214god you're dumb. Wtf is it with people who constantly treat everything as though it's the victim of something else? Why the fuck would Hasbro hate Transformers? It makes them tons of fucking money. Moron.
>>11886213as bad as EarthSpark was, casting Alan Tudyk as Optimus was pretty inspired. the guy voicing him in Cyberworld right now hits a good balance of doing the voice but also doing something different.
>>11886216Hasbro ststed they want to get out of toys
>>11886219So it's not that they hate transformers; it's that they want to move toward more lucrative things like entertainment and video games. You just have a weird need to make everything personal, so you start claiming they "hate" something just because they are doing something with it that you don't approve of.Also still don't understand how this makes the movie's 40th anniversary marketing seem "trashy" or "passive aggressive". Again, I'd wager you're projecting your own emotions onto completely normal corporate behavior.
>>11886217>the guy voicing him in Cyberworld right now hits a good balance of doing the voice but also doing something different.No? Legit just sounds like someone doing a bad Peter Cullen impression. It's exactly as wooden and uninspired as a majority of Cullen's performances. You seem to just think it's "something different" because it's not 100% identical to Cullen. But he's still 100% trying to emulate Cullen.
>>11886219Toys have been declining to the point every single storefront will get rid of them by 2028
I saw Peter Cullen at TFcon a few years back. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, and that I wanted to be a stronger and kinder person just like him and Optimus. He said, “Oh, like you are doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” and he wouldn't cut me off and I kept going “huh? huh? huh?” and blinking my eyes in front of his face. I walked away and continued with my con-going, and I felt him pat my back as I walked off. When I came to get stuff signed I saw him trying to write autographs for fans for like fifteen people surrounding him without letting them pay.The attendee at the convention was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to make them pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually reached into his bag and put a bunch of Transformers on the desk.When a fan took one of the Optimuses and started transforming it multiple times, he stopped him and told him to transform them each individually “to prevent any Decepticon interference,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think Frank Welker was there that year. After he transformed each car and put them in a bag and started to say "transform and roll out", he kept encouraging her by saying it with her.
>>11886279I don't even think interfetterence is a word
>>11886155this is especially bad during current Peter Cullen passing...corporate-level jeesus-image use blahblah... i feel sad. But i'm glad Peter Cullent gave me a great childhood... thank you Peter.
>>11886282Heh, but no I changed that line!
>>11886279Man, hasbro didnt deserved this man
This is peobably a weird thing to ask, but has there been any news of a toy deco 86 Soundwave or something to that effect? I've been seeing at least one new listing on reseller sites of the toy, without cassettes.
>>11886032I lost a second dad...
>>11886287Sorry, at least one per day.
>>11886287There's a SS86 one and a Missing Link one either out now or coming out shortly, iirc.
>>11884633>>11884603>>11884583>Also this is the bootleg in case you didn’t know, anon.>>11884494>it looks so retarded. it looks like one of those mid-00s 4chan reaction imagesi just looked at Amazon listing with an official photo of a product...It looks exactly like that - weird as fuck "ironically retarded 00s 4chan reaction image"
>>11886292Idk what’s going on with that photo but he dosent look like that in person. All the details are sharp.
>>11886304Looks pretty good to me, with a discount I can get it for >$30 rn
>>11886032>be strong enough to be gentleLight our darkest hourF
>>11886032>low on money>really want to buy Optimus ss86>...>see thisWhat would Peter Cullen tell me? He would probably be a father figure like always and tell me that right now in my situation spending money on toys is not a good idea even if it's this awful date... you can buy it later..Thank you Peter Cullen. You was always here for me. For us. Rest in peace...
>>11886123and he just beat some cancer himself, didn't he
>>11886279this post confuses the hell out of me, as does its replies, but what a sweet man
>>11886315My photo is authentic, not the bootleg
>>11886213Chris was a decent Orion Pax but not a great Optimus, IMO.
>>11886354the guy who does the outro lines for... what youtuber is it again? that guy's great. his cullen is dead on.
>>11886180Garry is getting up there in age and also just won his own battle with cancer not to long ago. We need a fresh new voice.
>>11886292>ORLY???>U W0T M8????Haha it does look retarded. i dont have Thundercracker. why it looks like that on stock photo
>>11886022Glad I passed on the s86 versions.
>>11886386They look good, but you'd have to be more careful with them thanks to all the paint. I'd get them, but I don't need another SS86 Ratchet and I already bought enough 86 Dinobots (9 86 versions, 7 g2 versions, and 2 comic versions).
I've watched some reviews on this 2 pack, it seems like the only "issue" with them is that one is a 100% retool without anything new and it doesn't have clear plastic for the windows. Are there any other problems with them? Those would be my first Transformers that aren't Beast Wars related so being only repaints is not a problem for me at all.
>>11886404YMMV with these amazon sets but my Javelin copy had some horrendous QC.Her head literally would not stay on the balljoint no matter how I tried to press it in or modify it, and her new molded parts weren't properly sized to fit the old ones so they just squeeze out of place easily. Her torso just won't stay together. Kaskade on the other hand is completely fine (as 'fine' as that mold can be, anyway), just ugly
RIP
>>11886413That does sound really bad. A shame because I really like the visuals and a 2 pack would be perfect to play with, right away. Can you guys talk me out of >War for Cybertron Kingdom Leader Maximal T-wrecks and>LEGACY United Deluxe Class Windbladenext please? I might actually save some money next month.
>>11886164its boomer slop
>>11886458T wrecks is actually really fucking good and it mogs the fuck out of current leaderswindblade is fine but looks fucking ugly
>>11886462>windblade is fine but looks fucking uglydo you mean her robot face, her overuse of red or something else? I think her jet form looks great and robot mode is a normal transformer body.
>>11886458T-wrecks isn't the right hues, but he's still worth it. a little customizing does him some good too.
>>11886464She looks like a butch lesbian
>>11886458>LEGACY United Deluxe Class WindbladeI prefer the Takara Legends figure.
>>11886471that thing costs way too much for what it does
>>11886471would work better if that gun split into two..
Pour one out for a real one
This is an old piece of art, the artist deleted their pixiv long ago. Does anyone happen to have this picture in proper quality?>>11886488The gun is Pointech, a Targetmaster Transformer.
>>11886500>saved this pic back in 2014>tfw it's in even lower quality
>>11886500targetmasters are allowed to split in half!
>>11886514So was Jazz...
>>11886404My copy was perfectly fine, and I really love Javelin.
>>11886032>>11886491This next one's for you, Peterhttps://youtu.be/fUUqC7akwuA
We knew Peter Cullen's death was coming one day. It's kind of a bit shithouse it's in the same week as Dolly Parton and Tim Curry though.
>>11886546the worst part is that he wanted a full fledged optimus prime movie before dying, he NEVER got to do iti fucking hate hasbro
>>11886546Seriously. Paheal doesn't know WHAT to do. Too many people to honor in too short a time with weekly features.>>11886547what, all by himself? I don't get it. every transformers movie is an optimus prime movie
>>11886547The worst part is since he sold his voice to AI, Hasbro will most likely use it to make an Optimus Prime movie without him.
>>11886565I want my voice to live on after me. Majel Roddenberry did too, but because she left them SENSIBLE voice samples, phoneme by phoneme, they can't use it, because AI is a smart thing being done the dumbest way possible
>>11886471Wish I got this for $60 when I had the chance some months ago
>>11885810Dirty Dew is fucking vile. The worst parts of a lime creamsicle with an aftertaste of curdled milk.
>>11886547 >The strength of Optimus Prime, what he stands for, honor, dignity, integrity, trustworthiness, the pillars of character, and to lead that into our 2020s and beyond, as a sense of hope for the future of our world... I would certainly like to see it before I go.Honestly don’t know if hasbro is capable of making a genuine feeling but strong Optimus especially with the hollywood types they keep around
>>11886279Cute
>>11886037>I can just get T-wrecks instead, put him in a dark corner and pretend he's Megatron....or you can just get Megatron and keep him in broad daylight. Should be easier to find than T-Wrecks.Also, as a note: We got TWO Jurassic Park crossovers, and both were 2-packs. Rexy (Now named "Tyrannocon Rex) was packed with JP93 (the Ford Explorer from the movie who transforms into a robot that seems to be an amalgam of Malcom, Muldoon and Grant all rolled into one). The second one had the Dilophosaurus chick and the Jeep from the film that turns into Dennis Nedry.
>>11886022Oh that's incredible>>11885633>Rodimus that's also Unit 02 from Eva>Turns into an Optimus truckThis is the most psychotic thing I've ever seen when do they go up
Say it ain't so
>>11885633>>11886022>>11886386Why does Grimlock get his clear plastic neck, but Snarl and Sludge still have solid plastic heads?
>>11886637T-wrecks was a shelfwarmer so in a way he is easier to find
>>11886586NTA, but I don't agree. Painful as endings can be, things need to end. All hearing a soulless copy of Cullen's voice will do is make me feel his absence more keenly.
>>11886546Tim Curry really stung too. Apparently the only work he ever did for TF was voicing a human scientist in Rescue Bots. What Transformer would you guys have liked to hear him voice? Off the top of my head, Straxus feels like a good fit.
>>11886668hmmm... I bet he could pull off Tarantulas nicely. or dino Megatron, yeeeees
>>11886668Swindle or skywarp
>>11886668Cyberworld Scourge, he'd make a killer pirate
>>11886668Bludgeon
Show me all your Optimus figures in one shot that you own ;(
>>11886668Toxitron, if only because I'd love to have heard him sing a Transformers version of "Toxic Love".
>>11886679Not nearly all of them, but all the G1 boys I had in the room >>11886449
>>11886728this is beautiful. I wish I had the inspiration to make shit like this when people I care about diewell I did one for Polly Lou Livingston, but>>11886732read it in his goddamn voice.
Gonna search the night sky for his star.
>>11886735maybe that's why the moon was red tonight
>>11886386Are you sure anon. What if they put out an even better version later? Better to just wait for that one I think. Or maybe the one after that.“I won’t buy this toy and enjoy it for 6 years because there might be a new version later on.” is such a retarded mindset to me.
>>11886650Because they only took this into account for Grimlock, before they changed things. The rest probably have weird placement if they made the dino heads clear.
>>11886745get a little older. 6 years will pass in a blink.
>>11886747This, TR feels like 5 years ago not 10+
>>11886747>6 years will pass in a blink.6 years. 16 years. 26 years. 36 years. Oops, you're dead.Life's too short to waste waiting for the perfect version of a lump of plastic shaped like fictional character; you're better off just enjoying what you're given - there's no guarantee what you're waiting for will ever actually exist.
>>11886750trust me, I'm thinking about that. I have a lot fewer collecting years ahead of me than behind me, and I've spent way, way too long barely enjoying my stuff because all I do is kinda get out of bed, sit in a dark room for what feels like 10 minutes, then go back to bed.I mean I am customizing right now, but it's the first time I've even touched paint in months.
>>11886747At 42 I am already quite aware of the fleeting passage of time. The wait and see mentality is still baffling to me.
>>11886756Yeah I mean, I'm not that guy, I probably should have said that. The only wait-and-seeing I do these days is wait for the price to come down. I'm not leaving characters I care about alone just because a better one might come along, unless it's COMPLETE garbage. or at least, not enough of an improvement over what I've got. like Quickstrike.. his proportions are just bad and they fucked up the pelvis / beast head area. so I'm just keeping the original on my shelf, even if it's a tad small.
>>11886750>Life's too short to waste waiting for the perfect version of a lump of plastic shaped like fictional characterGood argument against collecting any of this plastic crap in the first place.
>>11886758unfortunately true. if you pull that thread too hard, the entire hobby comes apart
>>11886756I wasted almost 20 years of my life and I'm 40
>>11886758Correct. Unfortunately, collecting is pretty much like taking crack - it's incredibly hard to stop, even if you know you're wasting your time and money.
>>11886735But he didn't say that...
If you don't enjoy then don't do itits really that simple
>>11886637Sadly not, I can just buy T-wrecks for the normal price, Megatron is over 100€. >Jurassic Park crossovers, and both were 2-packsYes but they do have their own problems, I do not feel the cars robot modes at all and Rexy, in my opinion, is the worst looking T-Rex transformer out of the three mold siblings. The Dilo looks great but I don't want to buy a 2-pack for one toy.Seems like I always miss the perfect entry point for toy related things. >>11886520Does anyone know how likely it is to get a busted version? I mean one review said that the transformation for Javelin has some tight fits but you only need to be careful to not scratch the paint, but knowing that when going into it makes it easy to watch out for it. However what >>11886413 mentioned are things that can't be avoided by just being careful.
>>11886747>get a little older. 6 years will pass in a blink.if you are around 40- there is no reason to wait.Im glad SS86 exists. im just enjoying my last days as a carefree toy collector.enjoying toys when you are 50-60years old will be much less fun.
>nuJetfire has dedicated tabs for PayloadIt's so over for Comettor, dead like Peter Cullen. RIP.
>>11886765>I wasted almost 20 years of my lifeHA! You're a greenhorn
>>11886354>Chris was a decent Orion Pax but not a great Optimus, IMO.No, he was pretty bad at both. He's not a voice actor. The voice acting in TFone was pretty fucking abysmal across the board, really. What happened to all the good voice actors?
>>11886920I hate how almost every gimmick and concept we revisit is inherently inferior to its original execution. Shouldn't toys be getting better? Am I missing something?
>>11886920They can just make a new Comettor work with the same tabs.Only question is how to release it.
>>11886942>What happened to all the good voice actors?Gone. Any and all talent that still lingered in Hollywood vaporized when cancel culture became a thing. There's literally no one left at this point.
>>11886951You're missing how cheap Hasbro has gotten
body type 1 or body type 2?
>>11886988neither, collapse those legs
>>11886760I know>>11886773More like cocaine, price-wise. Crack at least is cheap.
My Cybertronic is shipping from Hasbropulse.
reading about Petr Cullen made me realize we never got a K.A.R.R. repaint from Agent Knight
>>11886951Not the anon youre replying to but I just love minicons. No Commettor means one less minicon.
>>11887030They would have had to extensively retool his transformation if they made KARR, considering he actually gets a canon robot mode when he got revived in the 2008 reboot.
>>11887030Meh. The two-tone coloring would have only highlighted how badly they fucked up the front end of the alt mode. One of the biggest appeals of the new Trans-Am design for 1982 was how sleek and futuristic it looked. And they fucking borked it. I'd wager KITT didn't sell well, because any Knight Rider enthusiast would have wanted it for an accurate car mode, and they did a pretty bad job of it. Also I feel like Knight Rider is a fairly dead franchise; it's biggest claim to fame at this point is simply "being from the 80s">>11887056>they'd have to retool him to give him a different robot mode in order to be accurate to a show that his alt mode is not attempting to depict.No, that doesn't make any sense.
>>11886988armada jetfire has always looked like a short fat bitch but left is better.
>>11887063>One of the biggest appeals of the new Trans-Am design for 1982 was how sleek and futuristic it looked.My favorite thing about Knight Rider was how in the last season they added that retarded "super pursuit mode" transformation so KITT could go over 300 MPH, when in actuality the 1982 trans am's body was already so aerodynamic it was perfectly stable at speeds over 300 MPH in wind tunnel tests.personally, I would have rather had Agent Knight's alt mode capable of doing picrel, instead of the lights/sounds.
>>11887076How the hell is that supposed to make him faster? Wouldn't all of those flaps opening up like that produce drag?
>>11887078Yes. The flaps only open when braking.
>>11886178Yes, yes (you) are.
It's able to hold this pose but a little wobbly due to Jetfire's small knees.
>>11887005Aren't fat but flexible people kinda scary?
I should be able to sue Hasbro for a refund when shit yellows
>>11887131wtf is that paint on his chest lmao
>>11887131Not gonna lie the sword kinda looks good yellowed
>>11887131Cool Marvel UK G1 Megatron custom
>>11887131what are the odds hasbro is intentionally doing shit like this to entice people to replace stuff even if they otherwise mightn't have? They already know they can treat their core consumers like retards and still have them dump their wallets. It absolutely can't be a coincidence that pretty much every "definitive" Megatron released over the past 5 years has had some egregious mistake or flaw. I'm 100% convicned they put the blue shins and brown diaper on SS Megatron just to lure people to buy the "battle damaged" version for a parts swap.I understand mistakes happen, but it's suspicious that hi-speed yellowing has suddenly become such an omnipresent issue.
>>11886988>fatI dont get why people call him this ITT he was always meant to fit the robot version of the bara fetish. He was that animes bara pandering.
>>11887151For the yellowing its 5% not everything is a conspiracy. They totally did 86 Megs legs wrong on purpose tho. Every Megatron that isn't a gun is wrong at a fundamental level, simple as.
Are there any good pics of nemesis and jetfire combined?
>>11887154>For the yellowing its 5%Seems more prevalent than that. I've been collecting since the 90s, and yellowing was largely endemic to legitimately old toys that had been exposed to a lot of sunlight. Now we have tons of shit that's yellowing after a year or two, or even right out of the package. It coincides with an epic upswing in Jewery on the part of Hasbro, so it COULD just be unintentional shitty QC, but given that Hasbro's entire business model for the past 5+ years seems to center around getting loyal fans to re-buy minor improvements of the same handful of characters over and over again, I think you can understand why I'm a bit skeptical.
>>11886951It seems to me that Legacy (and by extension the Age of series) was never to actually *improve* anything at all from the old designs, but moreso to just make a new version, point blank. Retread everything under one blanket design philosophy which is of be as cheap as humanly possible while still providing a toy with at least one decent mode.
How's the mtmte war for cybertron Optimus? I plan on getting a optimus fig in the near future and not 100% on the 86 ones due to commander price/the battle damaged look.
>>11887151doubt yellowing is intentional, they just use shitty cheap materials to cut corners.also they 100% did not fix SG starscream, but i'll still get it just cause i missed out the first time.
>>11886032Man
>>11887151Most conspiracy theories are just a way to assign some sort of control over human greed and incompetence. They just fucked up the plastic formula, there's become such a turnover in Hasbro it's not like the people who would've intentionally formulated a bad plastic formula would even be there. How much of the TF team now is even the same from 5+ years ago?
You're gonna carry that weight the rest of your life.So, stay strong.
>>11886830I hear you>>11886874it's true..>>11886951shouldn't everything have been getting better? oh wait, china exists.
>>11886967That's not entirely trueIt's just the rest are old and they don't much get hired anymore unless it's a legacy role. they're enjoying a kind of working retirementAll the good young voice actors though? and all the white males? yes.
>>11887181thats the Gamer Edition one with better paint?Good figure, some people dont like the back of alt mode is exposed, but it's a nice chunky figure. I only have the original but the newer one has more paint and looks nice
How often do you transform your Transformers and do you own any were you say "screw that" without even trying it once?
>Transformers Kingdom Leader Class T-REX MEGATRONfor those who own him, is the plastic still holding up? I remember people being worried that the rubbery plastic will break fast but that was years ago.
>>11887242>for those who own him, is the plastic still holding up? I remember people being worried that the rubbery plastic will break fast but that was years ago.i own 3 versions. The plastic is the same. And i bought one of them not so long ago used - he arrived stuffed inside some bag and dusty (a kid owned him and played with him). and he was still in great condition in terms of plastic/rubber
>>11887244>(a kid owned him and played with him)So kids DO play with transformers
>>11887239>How often do you transform your TransformersI've usually got my most recent pickup close at hand to fiddle with, and I'll typically do a couple of others a day>do you own any were you say "screw that" without even trying it once?doesn't happen often since I tend to watch a review before buying anything. sometimes I'll get something on a whim or decide I like the figure enough to overlook the transformation and in most cases those figures don't get transformed often, the most recent example being RTS Perceptor
>>11887232Yeah that's the one, I really like how smooth his transformation looks so wanted an opinion on how he feels in hand plus i feel like most optimus you end up picking your poison with how his vehicle rear turns out.
>>11887239>How often do you transform your TransformersDepends on the figure, I have a couple on my desk to transformer a couple times a day and others now and again to change up the collections posing >do you own any were you say "screw that" without even trying it once?I transformed Onyx prime once and said fuck you're staying a centaur now, I didn't enjoy the process much when I did it but more than that I found the chimera thingy he becomes ugly and needed more work.
>>11887239At one point or another I have owned probably like 80% of all Transformers ever made. There is only one single figure that I never bothered to transform and that’s MP-36 Megatron. Also MP-44 Optimus, I changed him from truck to robot and never converted him back to a truck ever again.
>>11887244I own and regularly transform Megatron, T-Wrecks, and Tyrannocon Rex; all of them are still in perfect condition with no signs of any tearing from the rubbery bits. Whatever Hasbro used for that mold, it's still holding up somehow.
>>11887267torsos matter.. especially in centaurs. if you can't give a centauroid two torsos, don't make a centauroid.>>11887275yeah the only problem with it is that the side panels tend to bow inward instead of outward. a little heat would probably fix that. I do find it funny how effortlessly they paint rubber, when they have so much trouble with 'unpaintable plastic'
New ROTF Jetfire coming
I feel like some of you anons haven't gotten a new TF since Kingdom.
>>11887314100%. Months back, there was an anon after being pressed for several threads finally admitted they haven’t bought a single TF since like 2013. They post here daily.
>>11887331Seems legit
>>11887295fuck me I was getting ready to buy the dramatic capture one
>>11887295can i cancel my hasbro pulse order without consequence? never done it before
>>11887239>How often do you transform your Transformers 24/7. Keep some on my desk at all times. I rotate which ones.>do you own any were you say "screw that" without even trying it once?My masterpieces. Mainly why I stopped buying them and sold them off. Figured I'd just get Yolopark/AMK/Blokees non-transformable figures if I want high detail stuff i dont want to transform.
We all know that Cullen's passing won't change Hasbro's tried and true tropes, but would you care to see a shift to other Autobot leaders in the next few years? Whether they be Rodimus, Star Saber, Optimus Primal, or whoever else?
>>11887349Not happening. They're just gonna recast or use AI
>>11887331>finally admitted they haven’t bought a single TF since like 2013Makes sense when you see anons who seem to hate every single new toy that comes out and never post pictures of their own collection.
>>11887349as much as id like star saber its not gonna happen
>>11887349Convoy
>>11887341Yes
>>11887295will they finally get his legs right?I realize that even in the movie, they weren't perfect.. but ... >goes with primeit's gonna suck. Please stop making him combine with prime. he doesn't combine with prime. he has pop-off parts that combine with prime. Just make a good fucking transformer of a cool old bearded dinosaur man who turns into a Blackbird.
>>11887349I guarantee they are having this conversation at hasbro right now. Furthermore, I am a bit concerned that this might be the very beginning of the end of the franchise
>>11887413>I am a bit concerned that this might be the very beginning of the end of the franchiseThis franchise has been declining ever since rise of the beasts, transformers one flopping cemented it
>>11887413Uh... no. It's just gonna be this:>>11887355
>>11887417Declining, sureBut we've declined beforeDo we think the brand will live to see a 50th anniversary?
Three Ross stops on my way home from work, I was truly blessed today by RNG.2-pack was $30, Voyager was $18, Blokees was $12, Deluxes were $13, and the small dude was $3.50. Funnily enough these were my first AOTP figures I've bought for myself. The only one I've owned up to this point is Sky Byte that my bro bought me as a gift since he knew how much I wanted him but refused to pay the full retail for. I really wanted Wasp, liked him in the show and really liked the look of this deco, glad I found him on the cheap.
>>11887420>Do we think the brand will live to see a 50th anniversary?Lets see:>reactivate ended up being a chink money laundering scheme that costed hasbro half a billion dollars>earthspark ended up being reviled outside of the core fanbase due to tranny pandering and shat the bed with a garbage final season>transformers one being a 60 million flop that made michael bay direct the movies again>skybound and energon universe in general declining after DJD's run>the toys getting more and more expensive with rampant scalping, shitty QC and cut cornersNo, i do not think this franchise will survive until the 2030s unless hasbro gets its shit together
>>11887295There hasn't been good shit in foreverI'm not waiting till October for a dogshit swindle, If I can't get one soon I clearing this turd out
I have most of the original 1984-85 minibot remakes. I do not know if I should also the recolors (Outback, Wheelie, Tailgate, Swerve & Cliffjumper.) Though, I did get Pipes, during Kingdom to go with Huffer. But it feels like $30 a pop is asking a bit much for recolors.
>>11886032It won't stop hurting. There's an Optimus shaped void sucking away my happiness.It's probably 84 movie PTSD all over again.
>>11887417so sad. i liked the toys, and I wanted to see movie beastformers.
>>11887239>"screw that"I hate RotF Mixmaster.There. I said it. Fuck that toy.
>>11887239I transform all my transformers that can transform at least once
>>11887295So with this we've pretty much got 2028's commanders figured out, it's Jetfire and a combiner torso, probably Hot Spot.
>>11887295Fuck I got a preorder for the dramatic capture through BBTS.I might cancel or I'll keep it and display one as combined.JTprime is legit with his leaks right?
>>11887444>Defensor not til 2028Fucking shit
>>11887444I thought Thunderclash or Thunderwing were rumoredOr did I hallucinate that?
>>11887457Thunderwing is 2027, Thunderclash is confirmed to be a retool of Motormaster/Menasor but where and when they'll release him remains to be seen.
They need to give Japan another shot of a cartoon. We need another Armada.
>>11887495No we don't. Armada literally tanked the franchise in sales and made Hasbro lose more money than they gained, it pushed the franchise into the dark ages until Hasbro's hail mary plan with Bayverse returned things back to normal and then some. What we need is more G1 and Bayverse because that's the only good thing to come out of Transformers.
>>11887501It was not armada it was energon
>>11887495Trigger is basically frothing at the mouth to do one. Hasbro are the ones keeping it from happening.>>11887501The burning seethe in this post is so intense that I'm getting a tan just from reading it.
>>11887131Where the hell are you putting it that it gets that bad? I have the OG Siege fig and it's still fine
>>11887512Sometimes you can have them out of a box, away from a window, cool environment and regularly mess with them and they'll still turn
>>11887506Same diff, energon was nothing burger anyways as it only became a continued downward trend. It's only thanks to Bayverse does anyone even remember Armada exist because it caused it to be a retroactive success. >>11887509Cope and seethe, you'll never get your Arnada live action movie and endless nostalgia milking like what G1 and Bayverse got.
>>11887512og siege is fine, it's only the later ones that yellow like hell. at least spoiler pack and netflix release. not sure on premium finish.
>>11887519>energon was nothing burger anywayEnergon is still the single worst transformer show and it was the actual cause of why the unicron trilogy went to shit
>>11887518My Origin Bumblebee only recently started changing colors; he stayed perfect for years, and I usually have pretty good luck with dodging yellowing issues.
>>11887522Armada, Unicron Trilogy whatever it doesn't matter. All three were equally shit and are responsible for the dark ages of Transformers for losing Hasbro sales and money. It's because of those three is why Hasbro greenlit Bayverse as their final plan and it paid off big time. Everyone who is a TRUE Transformer fan and not a larping tourist will tell you that between G1 to Bayverse, literally nothing good and noteworthy came out of Transformers other than Beast Wars.
>>11887526>All three were equally shitThey were notarmada had a fantastic second half arc and had big toy sales in its entire runEnergon sucked shit but the toys killed momentum that cybertron never recovered but the toys were still selling decentlyanimated was goodprime was goodrescue bots was big
>>11887537No it did not anon, armada failed, energon failed and cybertron failed. The armada trilogy literally became a footnote in history because of the absolutely shit sales and negative reception it received. Bayverse is what saved Transformer and kept the franchise going because it didn't treat the audience like toddlers unlike the armada trilogy and the toys were also not playskool shit. Literally anyone online will say the same thing anon, you're just in denial because only you think a megazord optimus is good.
>>11887501>>11887526>>11887539Been a while since we've seen youDumbass
>>11886951How is this inferior again? It serves the exact same role as being landing gear except now Jetfire himself also has landing gear if you prefer.
>>11887537>but the toys killed momentum2004 was still a great year with multiple concurrent toylines (including Energon which was more popular than people think) running at once. The impact of Armada just wasn't going to be topped in a year it was never going to happen because Armada itself was gradually losing steam in 2003 anyway.Btw Prime sucked. The show sucked and the toys sucked. I don't know why people convince themselves that it's good just because it was the only watchable cartoon on HBO at the time.
>>11887447>JTprime is legit with his leaks right?usually, if he's wrong he's either got older outdated info or they got cancelled.
>>11887455Gotta give Combiners some break anon. Next year is already leaked to be Thunderwing.>>11887537>Energon sucked shit but the toys killed momentumOnly the show sucked anon, the toys did well and is a success but not enough to reach Armada's heights or even surpass it. But it definitely isn't a shit toyline that somehow made Cybertron unable to recover.
>>11887644>>11887455at least you get Defensor in 2028. Still waiting for a good Abominus
can't wait for Hasbro to inevitably monetize Peter's death
>>11887729it's already leaked that they're releasing a dead 86 Optimus Prime some time in the next yearextremely awkward timing, wouldn't be surprised if they delay it just because the optics would look bad
>>11887744What a gay idea, dead Optimus doesn't turn into a truck, he doesn't turn into anything because he's dead. There's no reason for a grey 86 repaint, just release a statue of the corpse since it doesn't need to do anything but lay there in the death pose. The only articulation it'd need would be the neck, maybe the chest could open up but that's optional.
>>11887745Dead Optimus has always been a viable deco for prime molds. The MP one stills goes for a lot nowadays.
>>11887752It's always been a dumb idea, then.
>>11887455Are they going to do it correctly this time or is it going to be more frameslop?
>>11887755True, but this is also Hasbro. Don't forget they have made figures of the movie characters as corpses with bullet holes and horrified headsculps and sold them alongside their other figures, this shouldn't be surprising.
>>11887758You're a retard.
I have found my first 3 fossilizers. That is all.
>>11887763Those seekers look rad, I wish I could find them at a store.
>>11887765I had to get them on amazon, though I found a sky warp after the fact at a Walmart after the fact. I have no expectations of ever finding a starscream though.
>>11887690Wonder what molds these are going to be. Optimus being a voyager means it can't be SS86.
>>11887775Siege/Earthrise probably without the trailer.
>>118874572027: Thunderwing, Rodimus Prime, and New Legends Delta Magnus2028: ROTF Jetfire & (possibly) Hot SpotAs for any other exclusive repaints or Takara/New Legends releases, nothing is known yet
>>11887690>valentines optimius before nemesis primelast one we got was Siege, right? Takara exclusive
>>11887789TT and Netflix exclusive, we never got any for Earthrise except for SG. And 86 only got damaged, skybound, dead and that's it.
>>11887690>no Glyph/Tapout Valentines setNo no that's cool we needed another Optimus and Elita, we don't have enough of those yet
Saw Pulse restocked the Timelines Japan Optimus and Starscream so I got it since I've been wanting it but it's been sold out for awhile. Also Walmart has the Heart of Steel set for only 40 bucks which is a good deal.
>>11887777Would be funny if after all this time, this is how they finally release the Siege mold in a plain deco without any battle damage or toon shading.
>>11887824chances are it'll be in pink like if that Valentine's Day Ewok or Iron Man Hasbro's done before is anything to go by.
>>11887760Stop projecting.
>>11887843>I Love you 1984>Heart-shaped beam effect part you can attach to his Matrix of Love>Cord that can connect Optimus Prime and Elita like in the cartoon
>>11887847>Cord that can connect Optimus Prime and Elita like in the cartoonL-LEWD
Local fig-swapper strikes againWhy would you need 2 Megazaraks?
>>11887851probably just selling them on ebay. Galvatron is cheap
>>11887851Why would you need 1?
>>11887518My worst victims are PotP Overlord whose forearm yellowed (and exactly half of it) and Sky Lynx, which makes me so bummed I wanna get another since I love that figure.
>>11887851why did he have 2 Armada Galvatron's in the first place?
>>11887765>Those seekers look radThey do. They’re pretty much an actual 10/10 looks wise. SS86 Optimus, Megatron, or Soundwave tripped at the finish line, aesthetically. The seekers are the first true mini masterpieces. In a thumbnail photos you can’t even tell them apart. The unfortunate thing about them is their lackluster articulation. Both their knees and elbows are limited to a hard 90 degrees, amongst other areas their articulation falls short of greatness. >I wish I could find them at a store.Skywarp is hitting stores now. Thundercracker is completely sold out at brick and mortar. A few online options remain. >I have no expectations of ever finding a starscream though.There gonna reprint shitloads of him, I bet
>>11887525>>11887856My Cyberverse gang was the same and they all horrendously turnedWhich sucks because I liked that Grimlock, Arcee and the Hammerhead
Is only white plastic at risk of changing color?
>losing the willpower to keep playing with my legacy deluxe optimus>still love the figure but the joy isn't really there anymore, feels really bad to play with him>just want to have him somewhere respectfully, but feel bad neglecting him as wellMAN...
>>11887807>Could use the Devastation Bee>And AotP Windcharger for Tapout>Hasbro has no idea who these two characters are and Takara doesn't seem to either>Glyph last appeared randomly in a TFA Episode>Fucking DJW remembered her before two multi billion dollar companies did
>>11887903It's not fair, I want my archeologist fembot and her repaint bodyguard bf.
what's the best fembot Hasbro gave us yet?
>>11887901absonot. Pink will yellow to orange, blue to green, it's just that white plastic is the most susceptible.
>>11887902You don't have a second-stringers box? That's a respectful spot to me. Most of my old beast wars guys, the ones not quite shelfworthy since Kingdom, are in there, and they've been enjoying box life for like 27 years.
>>11887898Do you keep them in front of a window or something? My Overlord hasn't yellowed one bit.
>>11887915is there a way to know upfront?
>>11887919luck of the bra. nothing of mine has yellowed more than a tiny amount so far, at least nothing past like 1995
>>11887915I once saw a ye olde Beast Wars Megatron that had gone from purple to green
>>11887934he always was kind of a pale purple, i wanna see that
>>11887916No I mean I love the figure, but it's just been extremely depressing handling it specifically after the news
>>11887919The ones made during covid like >>11887898 and Kingdom toys must have been sprayed with bleach or zapped with UV
>>11887937aw dude, this is all you have left of him.. it's important to hold on. you don't have to play with him a lot, let him sit on your desk and rest for a bit.
>>11887941Alright, I'll de-equip his weapons and have him seated peacefully for a bit
>>11887942exactly. He deserves a break. War can't last forever.
>>11887763Imagine a Beast Wars Megatron but as a skeleton.
>>11887946it would be tricky, but it might be possible. it's a pretty simple transformation, but at the same time, skeletons really add limitations.
Everyone is looking to replace Onslaught's missing gun, but may I suggest...

>>11888027I don't think the IDW glup shitto all-gay romances would sell. And I say this as an IDW defender
>>11888031they dont sell because they are all gay
>>11888039Yes anon. That was my point

>>11888060We NEED another Optimus Prime AND another Elita-1, please understand there aren't enough of either yet, at least 10, maybe 20 more versions before we get to your literally-who. Maybe. Probably not.
>>11888082Like it or not optimus prime sells, i wouldnt doubt this fanbase is retarded enough to buy even more optimus merchandise now that peter died

>>11888101Which is such an anomalyAll the trannies I know love huge fuckin' tits
So I had got this from Hasbropulse today. Overall, it’s pretty good. There’s no glaring QC issues that they can find.. maybe the hips are slightly loose but only if you shake it vigorously otherwise everything is nice and tight and there’s no noticeable cracks in the plastic being that this is clear plastic that everyone is worried about. Also, I have his purple buddy coming in the mail too. I’d love too see a green version of Brunt.
>>11888108The Optimus and Slammer go with my Holo Mirage from Siege. I wish I had that purple Galvatron to go with the Decepticons.

>>11888090He always sounded like a faggot so that's not surprising
>>11887295>New Optimus Leader moldI'm going to assume there will be a Commander Class attempt of his DOTM Jetwing/Weapons platform version.
>>11888231The big gun is kind of a pain to work with, but if you can make it work he looks good armed up and the transformation is smoother than the original.
Forgot I had Tailgate on preordered. I meant to cancel, but he's actually pretty good. Like Powerglide, it's another case of 'here comes mister angry eyes' with the headsculpt. I think it's funny though, so I don't mind.
I just started reading the Alternity stories and what the fuck I just thought they were cool cars but they're cosmic entities or some shit. I suddenly woke up and was really nostalgic toward Altenators/Binaltech and Alternity/GT. I regret not buying them all. I bought one and it broke lol. The GT toys are like 500 fucking dollars now.Does anyone know what other Transformers are roughly 1/24 and 1/35th scale?
>>11887807My Beast Wars assed brain will always go to Silverbolt and Blackarachnia as the first TF couple. Should have done them.>>11887690I hope it's something silly like them in a tuxedo and wedding dress. Not literally but white/black recolored bodies. I was going to say pink and red but I guess they already are that.
>>11888280Considering this is G1 Tailgate, the crazy bot who wants to lead a revolution to liberate Earth's machines, I think the angry eyes suit him.
Glyph is dead guys
Here's your Glyph bros
>>11888291granddaddy MP01 was promoted along with Binaltech and some still use it with them.Human Alliance line was pretty much the successor to Binaltech, also 1/24
Did a decepticon ever became friends with a human? I know in the Bumblebee movie they for the first time tried to decept someone which was cool but is there more?
>>11888329I think there were a few in the comics - unfortunately, the humans they befriended were as equally evil and deranged as they were. Also, Browning and Cancer were close - I'm pretty sure they ended up staying together even after the ending of Super-God Masterforce.
>>11888329I think something like that happened in Armada?
>>11888329Sixshot in the Headmasters anime with Daniel.I guess Wheelie and Brains in the Bayverse after they defected. >>11888343yeah Starscream and Alexis in Armada.
>>11888329Besides Starscream and Alexis, Armada Demolisher became close with the humans too during Energon and had some conflict whether he should switch back, but that got instantly undone by Megatron's new mindrape powers
>>11888363>Armada Demolisher became close with the humans toonot really, everyone treated him like shit all the time.
Is Blanker any good? Yes I know about the lack of swivels on the arms. Don’t care. All I care is about QC.

>>11888368this looks cool, would you say it's worth reading?
>>11888431The manga is 10 chapters long, you can read it in no time.
>>11887295I already felt duped for buying the ROTF anniversary multipack so now I feel double duped.
>>11888329In IDW Thundercracker and Marissa Faireborn were friends and Skywarp was a member of GI Joe.
>>11888483Thundercracker wasn't a Decepticon anymore by that point, was he? Still fair, I like when Thundercracker chills out and hangs with the good guys.
