Bump limit is 310

this thread is off to a good start. So is my 2016.

I just got back from walmart that had...and I mean this...literally nothing. There were star wars toys, and right next them were empty pegs. Not even Armada Megatron. I fucking checked. Shit was eerie.

Are MPs safe to give to a 10 year old for play?

They'd be durable enough for a bit of regular play right?

>>5373400
I don't know when, but at some point the idea of children playing with toys has become foreign and obscene to me.

So no, keep those little fuckers away from your toys

>>5373400
Honestly? I don't see the big deal in that

We put MP on such a fuckin pedestal, but these things arent Soul of Chogokins or anything, they're made for play, not display.

I could see a kid having alot of fun with Star Saber for example (and I mean this in the best way possible). Barely anypaint, so he cant be scratched, and he's dense as fuck so its difficult to break.

On top of that, even his sword is rounded as fuck, despite being a collectors piece...

Again. Shut up.

Which is Best arcee figure?

>>5373485
Transformers animated if you don't mind the style. The generations one is fine, but she's a straight up very thin shellformer.

>>5373493
>but she's a straight up very thin shellformer.
She's not totally shellformer though. The car hood and the sides of the car are made from robot mode parts

Legends/Generations Arcee, it's the one toy that looks like G1 arcee

>>5373512
Barely. She's not 100% a shellformer, but I'd say a good 75-80%.

>>5373521

Looks aren't the only thing that matter.

>>5373485
Generations Arcee for that G1/IDW likeness or RiD Arcee. Those are really the best official options you have

To those who have all the bruticus limbs. I already have an off road for a 4th limb. Now I'm definitely getting Swindle and Blast Off.

Which should I go for for the other? Brawl or Vortex? I was going to get Brawl, but after the arm issues and the bad waist design I'm leaning more towards vortex than brawl now even though the copter mold is mediocre.

>>5373768
Lol.
Are there still people who think like this?

>>5373793
Brawl. He has issues, but he's a tank and if you don't already have the coptor mold by now you're doing it wrong. Especially if you bought Alpha Bravo since Vortex is literally the same toy if you're colorblind.

>>5373797
I have Blades so I have the copter, but not the head.

It just seems people either get a brawl they are okay with or its just floppy all over.

Depends but at their price point I wouldn't give a $70aud transformer (lets say hasbro bluestreak) to just anyone.

The combiner wars or RID2015 line hell yeah, cheap enough to be throw aways even the leaders, but mp's are a bit much.

You break an arm off mp10 and its fucked for good, for the older generations one sure it could possibly be fixed, I know the deluxe generations from just before combiner wars were designed with that in mine, peg on and off with ease.

If you have the income to give a 10yr mp starsaber then you must be one rich mofo and I can't stop you, though I can see the kid stabbing themselves in the eye with certain parts.

The only exception are the g1 toys, I was a little shit and threw them into walls, or at people, and diecast hurts, a leader class CW megatron is better built to withstand impacts and can be mostly self repaired.

MP ultra magnus isn't something you can do that with but if you have the wallet and know how then go ahead, its not my money you're wasting.

Got CW Roadbuster for Christmas, haven't bought a Transformer since Animated. Bretty gud/10

>>5373806
>cw roadbuster

I've never heard of this, may I request pictures please?

Unless you mean the generations roadbuster which I've heard great things about.

Same case in Australian stores, when word got out the new cw figures came out they just went flat out gone after christmas, many stores are shrinking their shelving arrangements.

I can understand priority to star wars, but some chains still have dedicated spaces and they're empty, and they KNOW it'll be ages until a restock since they get allocated stock, no ability of their own to request more of them, so what do they do?

One local store that has the cw deluxes changed the tags to have nothing but 4 pegs of rid one step changers and one small gap for voyager cw's, despite store site having allocation for deluxe cw, another that's close to where I live still has the old tags up, but they filled the gaps with the rescue heroes shit.

I have all bruticus limbs, I just want me a shockwave and an onslaught, is that so fucking hard?

Worst part is some chains are getting cw leader starscream after said chain's shelves shelf warmed with cw megatrons for months, so we've missed ultra magnus and thundercracker.

And I know for a fact my local branches of said chains won't get them because they have 10+ aramada megatrons, fucking hell least the last of the silverbolts are gone

Gundam vs transformers...really?

Also grimlock just rekt Death Scythe Hell right there

>>5374102
It's funny how woefully out of touch Toyfare seems with Transformers. around that time they should've been comparing RiD with gundam, no? Makes no sense to compare an 80's toy with a then-modern model kit.

Fun Fact: the Wing Gundams are leftover rejects from G-Gundam that got revised by Okawara and then Katoki

Huh

What are the worst transformers of each toy line?

like, what was the absolute worst toy of each toyline, not counting recolours of earlier molds.

>>5374129
Seeing how next year's mainline is about bases with small robots, having some micromasters will add to the fun.

Let me get this out of the way first.

>>5374145
Universe2: Ironhide or Cheetor
Generations: Windblade?

>>5368957
Wow, I'd never have guessed that Silverbolt who's been out for over a year now wouldn't be selling well anymore!

>>5374154
At least Cheetor has one good mode as compared to ironhide who doesnt even have that.

>>5374154
I think windblade served her role well as Kawaii-Robot-Waifu.

I was more disappointed with Skybyte, Roadbuster and Tankor but I can't decide which is worst. They were all average toys but not entirely bad.

>>5374182
How can you think roadbuster is worse than whirl? I got them both on the same day recently and roadbuster trumps whirl pretty well. Not that whirl is bad.

>>5374158

Might not help that the Voyagers and Deluxes to the respective teams are rarely available at the same time.

>>5374145
I've been collecting since BW
BW: Probably Retrax
BM: Supreme Cheetor
RiD: Midnight Express(out of the new, non BW/G1/MW molds,simply because he is nothing but legs for RailRacer)
Armada: Side Swipe
Energon: Deluxe highwire, or the Dinobot twopack
Alternators:Sideswipe
Cybertron: Thundercracker
Classics: Grimlock
Movie: Payload
Universe 2: Cheetor
Animated:Snarl
RotF: Blazemaster
Generations part 1: Darkmount(not a bad figure, just not the best of a good line)
TFPrime: airachnid
DOTM:Mudflap/Skids
Generations part 2: FoC Optimus Prime
AoE: Crosshairs
TFRiD2015: Honestly the whole US line is a waste

>>5374188
Roadbuster had the better 3p toy to compare off of.

The majority, not all, of the warriors are actually pretty good figures. The worst of the bunch, so far, are sideswipe and grimlock.

>>5374209
So we know this actually wasn't done by you and you just want to post it here for a laugh, but where did you find it?

>>5374221
That head is from CW Sunstreaker. Whole toy looks like a straight repaint of it.

>>5374224
shit and I have it too, just so much fucking paint on the face I couldn't tell.

>>5374228
...the paint doesn't change the shape of the head. You must either need glasses or you're stupid.

>>5374232
To be fair, the paint's thick enough to look like the head has a mouthplate now.

>>5374235
The fins. The distinctive fins are right there. And this "mouthplate" doesn't even look close to what CW Wheeljack has.

>>5374232
glasses, I thought what >>5374235 said.

Even with some slight zoom the lighting and...like some weird blur(or maybe thats how shit the paint is) made me thing its a mouth plate.

The head shape IS sunstreaker, but what caught my eye was the mouthplate, I do apologize, please don't send your neckbeard friends over to lecture me, I beg you, I just gave the last ones all my moutain dew last week!

Has anyone had issues with LG Arcee's hands? any breakage?

>>5374246
No. But I did leave the extra tab intact.

Omega Supreme

Silverstreak is such a stupid name. Doesn't even mean anything.

>>5374318
You've posted it 3 times. You've had responses to at least one of them. Why keep going?

>>5374317
Can't tell if he swaped the legs or just unhinged the crotch, don't have mine at hand right now, but it doesn't look good, it is a flawed design, get him if you find him cheap, but hes not worth more than 15.

>>5374328
Again. The most recent one was like 4 days ago. This one you responded to Again Shut up was in a thread that was unused as transfer for being a new thread. There was no such reposting you are complaining about in a timeframe that would make your post in a logical, much less relevant.

>>5374325
A streak of silver because hes fast? Makes more sense than a land vehicle called bumblebee instead of a helicopter like pic provides.

>>5374335
He is a small fat yellow being. Talking a Bluestreak means speaking a lot quickly. Silverstreak is nothing.

>>5374333
But you've had responses to the exact same post you've already made. Why repost when people have already replied to it?

>>5374325
It was a placeholder name when they lost the trademark to Bluestreak. It's similar enough to the original and as he's silver, it fit decently enough.

Either way, I'm pretty sure they got the trademark back, so you don't need to worry about it any more.

But he's fast and silver. A streak of silver goes by. Bumblebee is yellow. But he does not bumble and he is a beetle. Not a bee.

Bumblebee is called Bumblebee because he was originally a VW Bug. A yellow (and black on his robot parts) VW Bug.

>>5374350
But they're called beetles. Not bumblebees.

>>5374262
I think the only thing you should regret is that Future Trunks on your wall.

>>5374340
Because there was not such a responce at the time that post way made you moron.

I will put this in terms you can understand:
1. Initial post. Thread was in autosage and was deleted to move to a thread that was alive as soon as possible.
2. The one in this thread. Was not changed from happening.
3. Produced the morning after when the thread people moved to was a different one than this, with minor changes to make it accurate for the time it was done.

In the interim, the thread in which 3 was posted in had a response by you and reached autosage, followed by a migration to this thread. In this thread, you were complaining about the existence of post 2, despite the facts that a. 2 existed longer than 3 and b. the post is too old to be deleted by a non-janitor/moderator level user.

Hey it's better than last thread where you had an anon Stroke out that Rooks alt mode is military and not civil aid.

>>5374404
This one looks better than Trunks.

So, get blades and first aid for Christmas, and £30 cash. Wait for sales to nab the rest of team, prepared to add a little of my own cash to get hotspot, rook and streetwise If I can get the three for £40 or thereabouts.

Sales hit aaaand...

None of the toy retailers are discounting Combiner wars at All. Amazon has rook and streetwise for a few quid off, but the cheapest hotspot they have is a scalperiffic £40.

Bite the bullet and order rook and streetwise from amazon, together they qualify for free postage, resigning myself to get hotspot later.

Order arrives today... and its two rooks. Contact amazon... because of who supplied 'streetrook' I cant get it replaced with streetwise, I have to send it back for a refund, and reorder streetwise which wouldn't qualify for free postage, meaning any saving I would have made is nullified by the postage costs

>>5374409
It was military repurposed for civilian aid role. Refit tanks and other things are common for that.

They aren't saving lives so much as being the pain on illegal activities
Likely that's why Rook looks like Robocop.

But then again i can't really talk shit about a toy that I haven't seen in person yet.

It is a hiding in plane sight thing like Hot Spot.

>>5374446
Right? A muted rust red and an oxidized copper blue-green would have looked fantastic. Such a shame.

Although I wouldn't have really wanted two more freaking helicopters anyway.

>>5374458
yeah, but hot spots split open and blended into the black plastic by being black plastic

The last stock photo, victorians stuck out by being one solid piece of teal and red in a sea of silver paint

>>5374442
Because those things they stop don't affect civilians and risk their lives ever. And riots cause damage to civilians and property. Controlling the riots helps stop that from happening. Protecting.

>>5374454
Guess you've never paid attention to riot footage. Okay.

Okay yeah. You're right. Riots would be controlled by themselves with no police force. Nothing will get damaged what so ever. Obviously nothing is protected when APCs show up.

What the cops do is up to them. The APCs are made to carry those chosen to do the protecting. Its not like APCs are actually all rooks that do the job.

You've never seen riot footage then. Also, while I think the war on drugs is partially idiotic, they do raid some of the worst offenders. Its not always the best moves, but when you get some of the psychos off the streets then that's protecting.

Cool, I just found a seller of stuff that lives in the city right next to mine to the point shipping is free.
Is Buzzclaw actually a decent toy or is that just memes?

>>5374512
That's a stretch
You could say that's what the combaticons do

>>5374488
If you're the same guy as the last thread, you are completely retarded.

You seem to be conflating a PROTEST, which is a usually civil and peaceful public assembly demonstrating against a particular cause with a RIOT, which is a violent disturbance of the public peace.

Riots are NEVER GOOD. They are marked with arson, looting, vandalism, destruction of public and private property, and usually injury and death.

You don't think SWAT are public defense, fine. You think an armoured vehicle can't actually be useful for anyting but military work, fine. But once a group reachs riot status, THEY ARE the danger.

>>5374530
It's not a stretch. It's the truth.

>>5374534
And the APCs carry the people used to protect civilians and property from being damaged by the rioters. I never said riots were fine. I know the difference between protests and riots.

>>5374527

>Not-Ravage's "plane" mode

>>5374541
Why did you start talking about cassettes?

>>5374544
Because Buzzclaw is the first to come out of the Titan Returns cassettes?

You asked if Buzzclaw was decent, I was saying he isn't, and it looks like the other animal cassettes will be just as bad.

What do you guys think of customs that partsform? I can't stand stuff like Frenzyrumble's old devastator. Thing partsformed like mad.

>>5374549

But to answer >>5374527
Buzzclaw isn't a meme here. Just one namefag that uses it. Look up reviews.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCsRyQo8VAA

>>5374550
All combiners are partsformers by definition.

That said, there's a difference between 'fold a bot into an arm, stick a hand on it' and 'unplug and fiddle with an entire extra bot's worth of tiny parts, build a leg out of it, and then stick a car on top of it' (looking at you Fansproject M3).

As with any figure, there will be levels of acceptability when it comes to this kind of thing.

I don't own any customs, but I don't mind partsforming, unless it's as bad as some G1 shit (ie: the Seekers, where literally everything was just parts stuck on the plastic/metal tube of the main body).

>>5374550
Non-combiner partsformers are lazy, same with those where a big chunk of the altmode becomes an unwildeable weapon, I see that as cheating. exception to this: Omega Supreme customs.

Have any of you used your CW teams in a g1 style configuration? Like no elbows and all the deluxes without good articulation?

If any of that makes sense.

>>5374997

I understand what you're saying and your kind is the reason why ReAction figures exist

>>5374997
I tried that on Optimus Maximus for a day or two. I also like to spin the legs around to show the underside, which was the G1 way for most.

>>5375009
Nah I just thought they would look funny. I need articulation way more than I need brick accuracy.

>Transformers General: Memes and combiner teams

>>5374997
Superion looks good in "G1 style" with the feet backwards, same with menasor, but the arms don't work that well, only Dragstrip for his leg transformation, Deluxes? sometimes Offroad locks his arms with the shoulder pads canceling the elbows, and all of them can lock their legs together but I don't see why you would do that.

Man the anon that once said that the PE hands and feet are essential buys was right. I got the black set as a hold over for Bruticus before the upgrade kit proper comes out, and this shit is great. I actually like the hands, they fit with the more slender limbs Vortex and Blast-Off become. The only huge downer is that Shockwave is now unusable because of that shitty square peg that shouldn't have existed. So Bruticus needs a new gun, suggestions?

Do what I do. I got the official set for defensor. The feet can't stay together and the hands suck especially because of the wrists so I just use the stock hands. Or cut the peg. Maybe even just leave a tiny bit. Did that with my shockwave so others can use him.

So will CW wreck-gar reveal to us what the peg and hole on his legs are for since he can't go on Sky Reigns chest?

>>5375065
Remainings of abandoned modes, just like Bombshell handles.

I lucked out I guess, my hands are tight as shit and my feet hold together good. maybe with more use they'll loosen up but we'll see. I wonder if the Shockwave mold is gonna get any reuse? I mean this is Repaint Wars after all.

I'm in the same camp. Only got the PE stuff after Anon's here gave some good details on it for me, and I've since gone on to get 3 sets (Black, Purple, White), and I'm just waiting for the Bruticus set to come out now so I can get that for whenever I get the fuck ahold of an Onslaught.

My feet have no problem staying together, but I did have a problem initially...Because I flipped down one of the pegs on the feet and didn't realize it. One of the hand hold pegs you can use has to be set in a specific position or the feet won't go back together properly. I wonder if some people just forgot this, or if the peg is in the wrong position.

Also, the PE hands CAN hold Shockwave with the peg, but it's a real fucking cunt to actually get the fingers in hand in the right position for it. I've only managed it once, and can't see to do it again.

So speaking of combiner wars, Im struggling to get my Defensor to not do the splits whenever i try to pose his legs at all.

Do I just need to put down cash for the perfect effect Hand/foot replacements, or are there any other tricks?

Bombshell can become a gun? What? You mean the CW Legends one? How?

>>5375114
His hips are loose? have you tried tightening the ratchet?

>>5375117
Plug his arms together under his horn, so the hand blasters are pointing forward. then just use the pegs on his knees so someone can hold him

>>5375118
I've tried that to no real success. It's the side to side movement and I've tightened the screws as far as I'd feel safe to.

>>5375090
But the peg and hole are for something. People were able to figure out bombshell. Not a single person can figure out what's going on with the bike.

>>5375112
Most likely I'll get a purple set and a blue set for G2 Superion. My fetish for neon colors demands I get G2 stuff.

Yeah, I bought it after some deliberation and some helpful pics from Anon's here showing some of their stuff in various poses. It's pretty good, it has enough ariticulation to satisfy me.

My only problem is I mangled the screw head on Menasor's default head as the fucking thing just would not budge after literal hours of trying, so now my only option for getting the PE head on would be trying to push apart the default head and break it, or maybe getting something to punch a useable mark into the screw head and try again. And I'm hesitant to try breaking the head for fear I'll ruin my Motormaster, who has a bit of a problem already because his right arm is floppy as fuck at the upper "elbow" pin joint and futureshine hasn't helped for some reason.

>>5375276
With the barely there knee articulation? Yeah nope. Masterpiece only in name.

>>5375331
Its a really simple tool and it's like $5~10 from a hardware store but you did say you don't really have one near your place. Another option is to use a CW Motor Master.

>>5375334
I'm sorry, do you have the toy in hand? do you know how much knee articulation it has? if not, shut it

>Masterpiece only in name.
There hasn't been a perfect Masterpiece release. Th name itself is very pompous and overblown for what you get.

Masterpiece is a word you keep for Soul of Chogokin toys and shit, those things get pretty close to perfect

>>5375336

I'll just keep the default head on for now. It's not a bad head at all, and I wasn't even going to put the PE head on until I discovered I couldn't because of my inability to get a simple screw out of a hole despite hours of attempts.

In early '92, mayhaps '93 Hasbro discovered the wonders of the ball-joint. From then on it became a mainstay in Transformers Action Figures. Then the 2015 cheapening happened and ball joints are becoming a lost art, like chrome.

Ball joints suck after a while though. Though they still have them like in the CW deluxe hips.

>ball joints are becoming a lost art
what the fuck does this EVEN MEAN

Ball joints are still used, because they're an economic way to good articulation

stop complain about insignificant bullshit

To facilitate the bots to curl inside their shells.

Eh, none of the characters in Transformers would qualify for being well-known and being changed.
Consist of being either literally who from 1987+ years or characters created for the role for ones actually in a romantic sort of relationship. And even then Chromedome and Rewind are the only ones that are plot relevant with everyone else being either fridge bait or extras.

The rust is likely surface-only. You can rub WD40 on it to remove the rust. Leave a thin layer of WD40 on it to protect the screws from further rusting.
