Is Generations Octane/Tank or worth picking up?
>>11898590The plane mode and robot mode are decent but the oil tanker form sucks. It dies hold together better than the Titans Return version though....
Sure would be nice if I had a Starscream for this display...
>>11898643God, combiners are too small.
>>11898597I remember TR Octane holding together pretty well, though?
>>11898768TR Octane and Blitzwing are pretty good. Astrotrain and Broadside are weak.
>>11898774Disagree. Both Blitzwing and Octane are floppy as hell, while Astrotrain is solid and great. As for Broadside, I only have the Tidal Wave repaint and while not floppy, the smaller plane wings are fragile as hell, as one of my Tidal Wave's wings on his leg broke on me.
>>11898643Just by the earth mode Starscream from WFC trilogy
So is the Delta Magnus just another overpriced pointless recolors that you can pass on?
>>11898901Basically. But it tosses in a nice TR ruby red Beachcomber repaint as a bonus figure
>>11898643Sure be nice if that was your actual display and not a swipe
>>11898580Anyone got any suggestions for guns to give to Onslaught since he comes with none?
>>11899686I gave mine the replica shockwave gun ss shockwave came with
Are the shoulders on this mold THAT bad?not my picture
Dont see much of these guys on here, but the new hotwheels guys are fun. Transformation on Scorcher is fiddly though.
>>11899686I gave him one from 86 Ultra Magnus.
>>11901240I gave him T30 Roadbuster's rifle, the green is slightly off but he still looks good with it.
>all of Studio Series 2027 is repacks>but now sold at massively increased prices
>>11901620More interested in Exhaust and Bugbyte getting single card releases as part of the Retro line.
>>11901620>Voyager RatchetIf this was any other company I'd assume it was a new bigger mold.
>>11901746It is new. There hasn't been a new Voyager Ratchet since the very first 07 line.
>>11901760I thought they already remade Bayfirmer Ratchet for the SS line?
>>11901786Yeah, but only in Deluxe size. Never Voyager.
Do you guys keep the cardboard backings with your flat transformer boxes?
>>11901737I don't want either. Give us Tailgate and Warpath retro card pair instead
>>11901869Sometimes but not often
Photo of Nautica's new toy just dropped
>>11901620Pricing aside at least they are reissuing the main cast for people who missed them the first time around
>>11901987Welcome to 2 months ago?
>>11901987But where is her wrench?
>>11902029can't show you. this is a blue board
>>11901987she looks fat
>>11902047
>>11898580>>11898643This guy?
>>11898580So OP, you couldn't afford a Skywarp or something?
>>11902068To be fair, it's a common thing these days to have to be a rich fag to own all three main seekers>>CHUG Thundercracker for years was a convention exclusive and Skywarp never got a reissue because he was a toys are us two pack exclusive that got sculpted to hell and back once the whole third party scene exploded with the release of the Ultra Magnus armor>>WFC Trilogy Tetrajet was only available in an internet only box set that was impossible to get thanks to Covid>>WFC Trilogy earth mode jet Thundercracker and Skywarp were put in a two pack that was Target exclusive and had a small production run that got scalped to hell and back >>Now the shit with Starscream Being a seeker fan is pure suffering
>>11902047hasbro doesn't make feminine fembots anymore, all of them must look like men
>>11902076Worse thing is that the core seekers get fucked over but the cone heads are easy to get these days.
Just got back from the theater.More ppl than I thought would show.
>>11901786Haven't they been repackaging deluxes as voyagers?
>>11902458I just saw it tonight too.Great time...except for the fat neckbeard sitting behind me who kicked my seat multiple times. I hate Transformers fans so much.
>>11902053I really want to like this guy but I can't deal with the lack of tit turbines. Maybe I'll get the KO and add them by gluing some of those detail kits for gunpla.
>>11901187Bumping this.
Is Titans Return Tidal Wave worth getting?
>>11902911The colors are nice and the face is a bit too squat for Tidal Wave, but it's a Broadside repaint at the end of the day, so not very good.
>>11902860The tit turbines didn't start until Dreamwave.
Minibots?
>>11903053what about them?
>"buy" SS86 Soundwave on October 2025>delayed>delayed>delayed>delayed>it will be delivered on July -November 2026>my delay almost reached its 1st birthday>mfwhope it gets delivered before GTA release and everyone will be too busy playing vidya to ship my fucking Soundwave.Now i don't want an order from last year to be Xmas 2026 gift either.A nice Xmas gift would be all the missing cassettes, does't it Hasbro?
>>11903052Sure, but I like them.
>>11903062Next Minibot Retro card figure is going to be a Bugbyte repaint of Bumblebee along with a regular deluxe card version of Exhaust aka Wheeljack
>>11902911Fuck no. Jet mode is super shitty and the aircraft carrier mode is blah at best unless you have Micromaster or Mini con jets to put on it. And the small inner facing leg plane finns break to easy.If you have to have a Tidal Wave either buy an Armada version or shell out the cash for the Titan version
Who the fuck is Justin Taylor?
I really wish we got a good modern Bumblebee with wheels on the shoulders and wrists.
>oh nice I got SS86 Starscream (general release in europe baby!)>hmmm maybe I should get his boys Skywarp and Thundercracker>I do have SS86 Megatron>maybe I should get Soundwave too>a prowl is fine too...I hate how they keep getting me back in
>>11902050>>11901987Her torso is way different than it is in this artwork. Did they use a different thing for the reference?
>>11903097Exhaust isn't a minibotand how are they doing a retro version?
>>11903097They should make Bug Bite's head look like this
>>11903062What's their problem?Miniature machines.
>>11903245They are only mini-sized toy scale-wise. (The Autobot Minibots were culled from a toy line called Microchangers that also was where Soundwave, Megatron, and the cassettes came from that revolved around a group of toy/household objects that turn into tiny robots. The cassettes, Soundwave, and Megatron were put in the Decepticons but the penny racer cars robots were made Autobots and sold as the "budget" scale for parents who couldn't pay big bucks for the big name Autobot cars characters or Optimus Prime. The minibots were so popular that Takara made a second wave just for Hasbro (hence why the wave two Minibots are different from the wave one minibots and after the minibots were discontinued after wave three, the price point remained for both combiner limb toys, and different gimmick types (Throttlebots, Spark figures, Triggerbots, etc)
>>11903102Ex-soldier and West Pointer. Started on YT doing a "day in the life of a West Point Cadet" V-Blog series that morphed into following him as a soldier, though he didn't post much after graduating West Point and the V-Blog stuff didn't pick up again until he got back stateside and was reassigned to work a ROTC gig at a college in Tennessee. After that assignment, Taylor opted to leave the military and move to Texas where his wife was going to go to medical school. There the really bad shit happened. The couple got robbed of everything but the clothing on their back and what few belongings they had taken into their hotel room one night, as their U-Haul was completely and totally emptied out. Then his wife announced that she was cheating on Justin the entire time he was away from her and filed for divorce. With Justin having nothing but a laptop and the clothing on his back, he was taken in by Cappy from Task and Purpose, who Justin was already writing for while doing his military v-blogs, as well as the Herrera/Garret Clique. He became a full time Miltube guy, though he mainly does stuff with Cappy and not the Herrera/Garret group. His stuff is pretty decent and he doesn't do skits and joke shit like most Miltubers do.
>>11903185Probably just stick him on a retro card and not give a shit. I doubt they'll do a full on retrobox for him like they did the Takara Headmasters sadly.
>>11903308>tfw read this entire retard spasm waiting to figure out what this dude has to do with Transformers
>>11903322He's cute. Stop overthinking
Mixing and matching Blockees and regular TF figures scale-wise
>>11903172it's just a little squished, probably to make the transformation work
>>11903305>(The Autobot Minibots were culled from a toy line called Microchangers that also was where Soundwave, Megatron, and the cassettes came from that revolved around a group of toy/household objects that turn into tiny robots.

Knickerbocker was bought by Hasbro, but Takara had released the molds in Microchange before Hasbro did in Transformers.Were they designed by takara for Knickerbocker? That seems the most likely answer. The other option is Takara bought the molds from Knickerbocker(why would a JP company already making robot toys do that?) or Hasbro let them use them(still a stretch) Just a very weird series of events we may never get an answer to
Anyone here get the big Cyberworld Bumblebee?
>>11903643Fuck no. Especially since Walmart deemed it and tentacle Soundwave worthy of a mid aisle display as opposed to giving they to SS and the mainline series
Anyone else got a favorite TF from the last couple of years they still play with from the War For Cybertron trilogy? Absolutely love Siege Ratchet, way way more than Studio Series Ratchet. Way more possible and more gimmick friendly. Git him here with some little 'Boy friends to protect and take care of: Rewind, Rung, and Siren!
>>11903389It’s even funnier when you look more into it. Not only was Marvel making a tie-in comic for the Mysterians that got teased the exact day Hasbro bought out Knickerbocker (https://jimshooter.com/2011/06/secret-origin-of-transformers-part-1.html/), but according to the Documentary “The Toys that Built America”, Tonka spokesman Pat Feely was inspired to license Machine Robo from Bandai after finding a transforming robot toy in Knickerbocker’s archive, meaning it’s entirely possible that the Mysterians indirectly influenced both Transformers and GoBots
Did some cleaning and found some of my headmasters and sadly my Weirdwolf's cockpit door hinge was broken. Did the Takara or Retro card version fix it?
>Armada Jetfire is finally here!>Open it>Another $100+ figure with QC problem right on the face right after the previous commander onslaught having chiped visorI am tired of this shit bro.
>>11904036Good grief. What's the problem with it?
>>11903953That happens to all Weirdwolfs before too long, at least the hasbro ones. Idk about takara but I'd guess probably the same. At least it doesn't stop the hinge from working, just be careful with it.
>>11904036Please tell me you don't mean that microscopic dot under his nose.
>>11903953I think it was fixed in the "retro" re-release and other, later uses of the mold.
>>11901869that's kinda all I tend to keep
>>11901187Yes, they are. They don't lock in at all. One of the shoulders on mine droops down at the slightest touch.
>>11904299>>11904407?You can't see how the plastic got "punctured" and instead of sharp edge of facemask now anon got a figure with a nosehole? It looks bad>My MTME Hound is literally missing half of his white paint on his face.
>>11904488How about the articulation? Is it as awkward as some reviews say it is?
>>11904409It wasn't. Both Weirdwolf and Mindwipe have soft bendable plastic on hinges breakage issues. Mindwipe less so but Weirdwolf seems to be the one most people have the issue with.
>>11904036I purchased the old SS86 Starscream that was just the Earthrise mold, and each time he had paint QC on his head and face. It made me so angry I quit collecting for awhile. I also had paint QC on my SS86 Dinobots.
>>11907345I feel like I gotta be that guyyou're using 'QC' as shorthand for 'bad QC' which is a idea.
