Yeah, I want to see some shit that wouldn't look out of place on my classics shelf. Hell, they dont even need to be classic g1 characters, just give me some solidly designed transformer toys that don't stick out like an overly designed thumb.

My biggest dream 3rd party line would be something that just focuses on unconventional alt modes. Taxi-cabs, Busses, farm equipment. I mean I know it would probably be too risky to pull off, but I'd like to see 3rd party stuff -expanding- my toy roster. Most everybody liked Steel Core right?

Maybe not cramming every surface with blocky greebly detail might actually make them less expensive too
>>
>>5381863
One guy in the 3P thread argued that most 3P designers are good 3D modelers, but they're not necessarily good with aesthetics and stylization.

I wholeheartedly agree with that point. it perfectly explains the weird aesthetics you get with 3P designs, and them stacking on more and more layers of detail on their designs

Differentiate the designs as much as needed to avoid lawsuits, of course, be we'd all know a transforming delorian when we saw it.

>Differentiate the designs as much as needed to avoid lawsuits, of course, be we'd all know a transforming delorian when we saw it.

We're getting off topic, but like, XTransbots announced MP Windcharger and Tailgate, and one repaint for them is the car from Knight Rider
>>

Does it look like hasselhoff?

i think its just a repaint?

there's just a pic of a black MP Windcharger car, released two years ago

No updates yet, but it'd be cool. I'd prefer the Tailgate face

Yea, I guess it'd be more than it's worth.

I'd settle for even just a afro accessory.

They probably know they HAVE to make it different (ie: unnecessary greebles and whatever the fuck) to not get assraped in court by lawyers, guys.

>>5382077
I get where you're coming from, but your argument would have only made perfect sense a while back. it doesnt hold water anymore cause everyone is doing Masterpiece toys, who look exactly like the characters because of cartoon accuracy. so it doesnt make sense that non-MP designs HAVE to be different..

Still buttmad about that.
>>
>>5382176
>>5382144
What made the thighs explode? Tight plastic-only ratchets or something?
>>
>>5382283
The mushroom peg (I think that's what it's called?) came off extremely easily.

People assumed it was a manufacturing error, but others reported that their figures didn't have any stress on the peg, and it still came right off. The likely cause is the plastic they used, since their other 2 figures using the same mold didn't have this issue.
>>
Really starting to wonder if I should just buckle down and buy Onslaught with Scattershot.

Every place I find him he costs nearly as much as he does when packaged with Scattershot.
>>
>>5382325
That's because most places know they can't make a profit on Scattershot because Hasbro fucked him up, so they have to raise Onslaught's prices.
>>
>>5382327
Just be patient, anon. Same shit happened with Motormaster and Blackjack.

You guys remember when everyone started scalping blackjack because of some rumor that further releases of him were getting cancelled?

I did. the actual sale price isn't any more expensive than getting them at say, TRU or Walmart. And I may as well get scattershot, on the off-chance that bullshit technobot rumor turns out to be true.

I'm glad I like devastator more. Fuck. Anyone can get 5 different devastators at all sorts of pricepoints but Bruticus gets two shitty hasbro sets and a premium figure that reeks of QC issues.

I don't understand why people collect them. By all means more power to them, but they have to be getting tired of the same five freaking figures by now.

I'm assuming they don't sell these in box sets in stores. They go for 150+ dollars for the full set online.

I think as far as toys go you could do a lot better with 150 dollars then spend it on a set of figures you already own three fucking times.
>>
>>5382683
The helicopter mold was legit good, just overused.
>>
>>5382696
>spending $150 on any UW/CW set

You fucked up bad if you paid that much. A set of the CW limbs shouldn't be above $65, and a Voyager is around $26. A UW set usually goes for $120-137 or so. And you can usually find any of those with free shipping to boot.

Congrats, you can get maybe one Deluxe or Voyager sized 3P figure for that price. Maybe.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on tightening joints. I'm new to this kind of stuff and I don't want to mess anything up. I mostly just want to tighten the hips on my Prime so he's more stable in combined mode. Also, what are some cool poses he can do?

It's why I bought the Kaon from MMC. The novelty of having a figure that transforms into an electric chair for murderizing other figures on was too great to pass up on.

>>5382633
If you don't mind the Hasbro molds, the upgrade set from PE + mistransforming the Onslaught torso is your best cost to look ratio. If Takara can fix the paint schemes and deliver a proper blast off it might be the best option until some other turd gets around to Bruticus again.

I agree that in combined mode that Fansproject's looks great, but any other mode and its a mess of parts. Cool weapons though.
>>
>>5382725
>>5382726
Thanks, is there a specific way to apply it or is it like lubing any other moving part?

>>

>>5382744
I notice Bruticus' thighs are turned inward in all the PE handfeet shots, does that create the same A-stance problem as PE's Menasor torso upgrade? looks like it does.
>>
>>5382750

Apply a small amount of it to the problem area (a drop or 2 from an eyedropper is enough for most ball joints, for example), move said area around a lot as best you can to work it all around that area, then let it sit for a full 24 hours.

It should be fine afterward, assuming you did it right. I've used it on quite a few figures, only one I haven't gotten to work on is my Motormaster, and it's probably because the joint thats floppy on him is a bitch to get the drops into. I have heard some people need more than one application, but besides my Motormaster, none of mine have needed it yet.
>>
>>5382718

>Implying I'd touch a CW combiner

I have standards, thanks. I'd rather have $80 masterpiece carformer or a FP headmaster than one of the many variants of the same 5/6 robots.
>>
>>5382763

I ordered it off Amazon. Walmart stocks it, but none of the ones by me had any in stock.
>>
>>5382750
Just drop a small amount at each joint and it will spread by itself, it helps also if you move the joint to spread it.

Use a toothpick as an applier since you really need a SMALL amount enough to wet cover the ball and the socket.

>Any money on a CW combiner more than once
>>
>>5382765
So should he open up the ratchet and apply the stuff, or just dab some on the joint itself and work it in?

I've got a hotspot with awful combined mode hips and Id like to see if this strategy works for him as well.
>>
>>5382726
>>5382725
But CW prime doesn't have balljointed hips.
>>
>>5382822
CW Prime's hip ratchets aren't the problem as far as tightness goes, his knees are.

I really need to find some of this stuff for my PE-modded Motormaster. The torso upgrade helps but loose-knees on Motormaster really hurt Menasor after it's been applied.
>>
>>5382828
PE is releasing one for CW Optimus Prime so I guess they're releasing one for the KKK Prime.

3. Technically 5, but I don't count Optimus and the G1 squad because I didn't buy them to combine, and the Combaticon's don't count because I don't have Onslaught yet (just ordered him today though). And all have PE feet/fists except Optimus and the Combaticon's (because their set isn't out yet), and my Menasor has the big plastic crotch supporter.

Enjoy what you want to enjoy Anon. I'm just happy to have something that both updates and recaptures my childhood, especially since I'm a newer collector and didn't have a chance to grab much of the stuff pre-CW save for fishing around eBay for deals.

I'm also not made of money, and buying all this stuff to begin my collection was expensive enough as-is, though now I'm starting to look at 3P stuff, mostly Feral Rex to cover my need to have a Predaking, plus he looks pretty close to what Predaking would, which is nice. A lot of the 3P stuff looks pretty odd at times, like all those Devastators with the wrong color green or completely inaccurately colored limbs. Other than that, I want maybe a few others like the FP Dinobot's, maybe Commotus and Hexatron, and that power core-esque IDW The Fallen.

I have all the UW releases so far. I don't plan on buying any of the shitty filler like Optimus though.

I have a third party Menasor and I had a third party Superion up until I sold it. The official ones + add ons are better.

The FP Menasor doesn't do it for me, neither does the official. I might wait until the Transformission Menasor parts start coming out so I can jump on that train.

I got CW Bruticus and that's it. I'm happy with it, and it's my first time with any of the molds so I don't really feel cheated. Still buying PE's upgrade set though.

I may end up getting UW Computron if that ever comes to fruition though. Bruticus is my favorite Decepticon combiner and Computron is my favorite Autobot combiner.
>>
>>5382861
I own 3 complete; Superion, Defensor, and Devastator. I'm thinking of getting Bruticus too and finishing off Menasor since I do have the PE upgrades for Motor Master just in case I do finish the whole set.

The funny part is they should have the lions share of limbs, given they have so many. Hasbro fucked up by making Devy some retardedly huge project, and not making Abominus/Predaking/whatever the fuck those Seacon combiner is named. They could've easily scaled Devy down to Deluxe's and made him his own special box set but kept the combiner pegs, and then made a dedicated Predaking with remolds into Abominus/Seacon combiner.

Man, the PE set for combiners is awesome, but i think the feet gun modes would be much better if they had peg holes somewhere, so you could stack the feet together and make a sentry or turret type device. Using them as handheld guns is silly since they are so huge.

Yeah, but the problem is that IS just Prime Bulkhead. I'd like to incorporate the character into my regular collection, but I think he should get something new.

I'd be all over homages to Prime Bulkhead, Knockout, and Breakdown (which we're getting), along with some Armada homages especially. Those toys themselves didn't really live up to the excellent character designs and colors.
>>
>>5383491
I'd be down for a TFA combiner team. Problem though. Should bulkhead be the torso or prime? IF they had to be retools use hot spot for prime, rook for bulkhead, of course first aid for ratchet, and groove for prowl. Here's where it gets tricky. Bumblebee won't work for what's available so he can get a new mold. Retool Off Road with a plow up front for a sentinel piece? Maybe do a dead end Jazz?

When are they going to revive Beast Wars? Not just making new toys of existing characters, but making new characters with new molds that feel like they came right out of the 90's. Like a Maximal hedgehog or a Predacon Daddy Long Legs Spider. Some more sea-creatures might be nice as well.

I don't think anyone wants Pretenders again. Holy shit those toys were terrible. Headmasters and the like were cool (kids losing their toy heads aside), but Pretenders were hideously bad.

>>5383735

I don't even remember what either of these were. Were the Actionmasters the GI Joe like figures that didn't transform?

Fireflight

First Aid and Ironhide (because the Universe2 version is that bad)

Scattershot (yeah...I skipped Silverbolt because I like the Universe2 version)
Onslaught

I will definitely buy UW Bruticus.
I will probably buy Brawl, Dragstrip or Mirage, Sky Lynx, G2 Menasor.
I would probably buy Lightspeed or Strafe if they make them.

Quick! Is a better Transformer practical or cool looking?
>>
>>5383774

Heres a question: Do original beastformers (Grimlock and co, Predaking, any other G1's I might forget like the Seacon's, or the big red preying mantis guy, or insecticons) count as beast transformers? Or are they their own shit? Would a beast line see us with some updated G1 Dinobots?

Or does the beast shit only count 'bots that have non-robotic beast forms (ie: the Beast Wars crew before Transmetal stuff, etc)?
>>
>>5383785
Practical. A Transformer can look great but be a nightmare to play with (Genetations Rattrap), while another can be relatively plain, but be great to play with (HFtD Hubcap). Hubcap is the better figure.
>>
>>5383783
Transmutate's ep was after Airazor was out of the show, so that might have worked. Like Friezabird and Prostitutespider find an apparently female one and get all self-explorey, wondering what a female in terms of Transformer is?
>>
>>5383761
Can you even really call them those if they don't even have those gimmicks? the only reason people call the new leader class Optimus; Powermaster Optimus, is because it's what everyone refers to that bodytype as, even though it's a misnomer.

I'd say this is simply the headmaster line, none of the others make a appearance (a halfassed base mode out a leader isn't what micromaster bases were) and any of them can be the next lines gimmick, but hasbro could do anything else, so it's up in the air.

>>
>>5383818

Who was the big red praying mantis guy?

I really want to like that new PM Optimus, but I really wish they'd at least give him 2 new guns (both the same), and had the new cab section have bigger boob windows (or hell, have the fake chest armor resemble PM Prime's chest).
>>
>>5383841
Although it's still inaccurate, I to feel ginrai fits the mold better, human piloting a Optimus-esque body? sure, that works, more so than a Optimus headmaster that, on his own, is smaller than most of his troops.

Seriously how does that work, if Apex/Hi-Q is his own entity, where is optimus' mind?

>Trailbreaker can make forcefields

Another common sci-fi technology.

>and Bumblebee can drive underwater

He's a transforming car. Being water tight is probably possible. As would be having things for sea locomotion. Unless he doesn't have any propellers or something, in which case, it's kind of bullshit.

Are those really powers though? Sounds like robot stuff to me.

>>5384622
really high powered magnets that can warp strong metal can be powers.

But really they're machines, anything they do other than the standard bot can do is a power.

If one can defalcate organic feces then that's a power too using that same logic.
>>
>>5384612
Okay, I won't call you an autist, retard.
>>
>>5384628
Yeah but to them those abilities are nothing more than a really strong human or someone who can do impressions really well. Its a special ability to them, but hardly a power.

Fuck...Prime Shockwave really is a gorgeous figure.

I was thinking about reorganizing my Transformers shevles. Can't believe I put that fucker in storage. Welp...time to take him out.
>>
>>5384653
I love its spinning cannon gimmick.
>>
>>5384655
Can't say I'm a fan of that gimmick (or gimmicks at all in Transformers). But Prime Shockwave has the perfect aesthetics for my tastes. I seriously can't think of a better look for the character aside from the Masterpiece.
>>
>>5384656
I'm not sure how I feel about Prime Shockwave. On one hand, the robot mode is great. But I feel the vehicle mode is a little less than stellar.
>>
>>5384665
In had shockwave for a day and just did not like him. The legs really do take so much away. This was back before easy mods were found. Returned it later that day.
>>
>>5384628
No.
If you can eat organic waste, that's your power. Your power is being greg.
>>
>>5384679
Don't bring that made up character here.

Why not us the normal car mold Smokescreen wasn't a police car I thought that's why there was two molds Hasbro what are you doing
>>
>>5384604
this was when the episode was speculated to have been directed by Obari. He spoke recently and said he wasnt involved.
I think it was Shin Matsuo, who drew the infamous Studio Ox Devastator crotch
>>
>>5384610
Oh, don't get me wrong, I love that aesthetic, and any animators that contributed to it. Obari is basically my idol when you really get down to it, but I just wanna make sure the right people get the right credit.

If you're buying a Shockwave for his alt mode then you're doing it wrong.
>>
>>5384811
I just realized something

What's with SHockwave toys and shitty alt modes?

Energon Shockwave basically didnt transform
Movie Shockwave looks like shit and his turret is off center
Prime Shockwave wins some points by having a cool alt mode design (in the show at least) but the toy execution is less than robust...

With Shockwave, his robot mode has become pretty much iconic to the point where his alt mode is always a secondary consideration.

Just the way it is, and I don't even mind.
>>
>>5384726
Smokescreen is literally Prowl's altmode
>>
>>5384861
>literally
I don't think you know what that word means.
>>
>>5384868
Datsun brothers
>>
>>5384873
And...?
>>
>>5384876
They have the same altmode.
>>
>>5384879
You may missing the fact that cw Prowl has the siren molded in, Smokescreek has the same altmode minus the siren bar, that's why the Dead End mold would work better.

What are we expecting to be shown at Toy Fair? Blaster, Blurr, Fort Max, Soundwave? What were the rumors to the Headmaster line again?
>>
>>5385037
Chromedome, a new Rodimus and the 4 main Headmaster Cons.
>>
>>5384831

Legends Shockwave is great though. Combiner giant laser gun/spaceship fits perfectly.

bruh
>>
>>5385120
So why does Computron cost only 2/3rds of what the G2 and Victorion packages do if they are same product size?
>>
>>5384879
Smokescreen "literally" being Prowl's alt mode means Prowl would transform into the CHARACTER named Smokescreen. It does not mean that they merely share alt modes.
>>
>>5385172
The G2 and Victorion sets were in Canadian prices.
>>
>>5385120

So if this is real, is this only going to be a box set, or are the rest of the limbs going to be available?

It'd be a real shitshow if Shelfwarmicus Maximus didn't get his limbs outside of a box set including the Shelfwarmer himself.

> Prowl and Smoke screen are both Datsun cars and thus identical.

Have you ever even seen G1 in your life bruh?
>>
>>5385172
You only get the limbs. Oh, and Deluxes are now $25 each.
>>
>>5383429
I'm going to make a G1 Knockout from a G2 Dead End with a Prowl head.
>>
>>5385208
They even have the same parts of the door with the lines to connect and hood and stuff.
>>
/tfg/ what will computron's limbs be???
>>
>>5385253
Helicopters
>>
>>5385202
I have a bad feeling "Betatron" won't get dedicated limbs and another Scattershot in proper Computron colors will also be released. Kind of the whole Optimus vs. Battle Core Optimus ordeal.
>>
>>5385120

I've been saying all along they were gonna happen.

fuck all you fuckers who doubted me otherwise.

And I was getting ready to paint a couple of customs, Would this set use the rumored Air Raid direct repaint as Strafe?
>>
>>5385389
Yes. And no new combined head from the picture I saw.
>>
>>5385277
>I have a bad feeling "Betatron" won't get dedicated limbs and another Scattershot in proper Computron colors will also be released.
No Scattershot will be in his [spoiler]Transformers: Cybertron colors[/spoiler].
>>
>Computron

What glorious mish mash of limbs will make that up, I wonder?
>>
If the rumors are true, the only reason to get the Computron set would be Afterburner and maybe Nosecone.
>>
>>5385478
Probably Brawl, Arialbot, Breakdown, and Takara Groove
>>
>>5385108
It's not just hollowness. Toys have always been hollow. Now, though, they're really visibly gappy in all modes, in multiple views. It used to be handled much better.

When the moive toys really started getting going around RotF, they really got the hang taking advantage of the space. Hands were hidden in forearms with panels to cover them in robot mode, Legs fold or collapse into legs, again with panels to cover the spaces. Upper bodies collapse into the empty space that makes up the bulk of alt modes.

Now, though, hands are hard molded to the ends of arms wich are just three sides with an empty back. Legs have huge visible gaps inside the thighs and on the back that are always visible.

It's not just about being hollow, it's about poorly managing that hollowness.
>>
>>5385460
Then it would be a recolor of Onslaught.
>>
>>5385546
Nope, still a Silverbolt "retool".
>>
>>5385584
That just brings up more questions.
>>
>>5385510
Pretty sure it has to do with parts count limits. Gas prices are falling so it can't be the costs of petrochemicals that's making them cut costs
>>
>>5384920
