But I like the mold, I like what it turns into, I mean people like g1 powermaster optimus prime over the new TR/legends versions you know despite being a brick.

That and I asked you guys your thoughts and all that was bad was articulation, otherwise it does the job.

Honestly the classics/generations lines were my favorite, I'm still looking for the optimus prime from the classics range for a reasonable price (and before you say it, nope I don't want a red nerfatron, already got one and very much loved in his current deco thank you, my first shellformer)

While I'm here gonna post some comparisons between legends and TR figures in packaging.

Wheelie gives me mixed vibes, his prototype pics had painted shins, quite clear they don't stand out as much and is quite "bland" in comparison to the TR version, that said something about the TR figure just doesn't sit well for me, I honestly say get the hasbro one, the qc ain't gonna be any better between the 2 since the alt mode lacks the support to prevent the crumble effect when pressure is applied

Forgot to add, loudmouth's repaint into goshooter is the best part of the package, same here for rewind.

Sure rewind had gun metal grey shins over silver and slight slithers of extra paint, but because of the design of the head the "anime accurate" eye repaint looks like crap, once again its highly apparently these were mostly hasbro designed (or least in concept, clearly this mold is IDW rewind), also

>neither is color accurate

I thought he was supposed top be white, not grey?

Again though the nightbeat repaint is amazing, takara got smart and stuck to nightbeat rather than force a minerva out of it, is it worth buying him, nah, I own the hasbro one and he's fine, only buy legends rewind if you have legends blaster

>>5923503

Posting this because why not, the difference is all in the head and again, buy legends if you started with legends

>>5923508
Most of the color breakup lines with the shins and alt mode, and its not as drastic as the TR version.

I admit I got the legends version because the orange sections on the hasbro version just don't sit well with me, but once again, it ain't accurate, I can only guess painting the hands was a worry

But hay, I'm hoping its not too orange in hand, either way I'm not happy with the wheelie in color, I honestly am starting to regret passing up on buying the TR version which is on sale here

And now blaster.

His deco is amazing on the takara version, but that white head (even the sides of the head are white, hasbro has them in black) leaves mixed opinions, that and keeping the toy-esqe helmet rather than retooling him makes me think they allocated budget solely to the main headmasters characters and legends ginrai.

I bought hasbro blaster just because it works and he was on sale, but I would of gotten the takara one otherwise, one good thing to note is no matter which version of blaster you're in for a fun time, only way to one up this now is a masterpiece

>>5923525
They won't be unless its an mp, and the mp would give mp bumblebee a run for his money.

Takara's tried, using the clear canopy gave them a chance to "hide" it mid transformation, and the lower section of wheelie came damn close, but oh so far, its very much clear these were designed with hasbro's toy aesthetic in mind, as TR wheelie is pretty close to g1 toy accurate (save for the dark canopy which is just a cost cutting measure to give him black wheels on the same sprue AND transparency, not that it failed in the looks department)

>>5923532
That's not reximus prime, thats beast wars megatron cosplaying as kid friendly prime

>>5923525
TR was an attempt that at least does a good job at resembling the cartoon model.

Wheelie is going to be something that'll only work as an MP.

From what I seen they aren't too bad, they focus on large uses of plastic colors, so far the worst paint fuck ups belong to skullsmasher (the g1 toy tampo on his croc side looks like a badly placed sticker that melted, I'd show this but I'm repainting it, just waiting for the rain to fucking stop), and of course the blandness of scourge and blurr.

If you REALLY want them might as well go online, but if you want to keep with the budget might as skip, I watched 5 reviewers on hasbro hardhead and the rest, and seeing them in hand has convinced me (apart from my skullcruncher) they won't deviate too far, these aren't like neca/mcfarlane figures where you need to study them closely before picking the best one from a fresh carton

>cheapest with exclusive rebirth cerebros head
>glorified "exclusive"
>overpriced redeco of above exclusive

I regret getting the sdcc version, the toy despite being a retool I don't regret, its just a few little issues, poorly applied factory stickers, bland deco on the sword, and the paint apps for the japanese "fortress" head are sloppy (we make fun of takara's headmaster crew but those guys weren't just dunked in paint).

Only good thing about my sdcc was he "was" cheaper than retail rrp before a massive sale came by.

And for those who want the takara version, can't blame you, but give it time, it might go on sale like devastator did

>>5923557

What do you mean when you say this, anon? HasTak always work together when designing figures.

>>5923576
Was one of those screencap from chinese facebook, so who knows, the list is way too good to be true, then again we did got a modern Lio Kaiser so anything is possible.

Does the retail Fortress Maximus have any issues? I remember someone mentioning something about Cerebros having issues, but I'm not sure what they were.

>>5923583
They work together in the basic design phase and the whole "make it from paper to plastic", but the designs take design points from toy aesthetics, blaster's helmet design is g1 toy inspired/marvel comics, rewind's head doesn't really allow for the red eye paint detail properly as its clearly designed for he IDW design.

This is just what I noticed now with TR, but it may of been around alot earlier from combiner wars (but since alot of them are head only retools its harder to judge, that and IDW made their moves on them later)

If takara wanted too, they could of retooled blaster to have a more "open" helmet akin to sixshot, but they didn't

Since Nonnef totally screwed the pooch and I don't care for turning hands and feet into guns, what's the consensus on the KO perfect effect hands and feet? Any recommendations for shops?

Are there any other alternatives for limbs? I'd imagine that a lot of people would jump on the upgrade bandwagon, but it's only Shapeways and one actual company.

>>5923628
None of them transform. All of them are teenagers in cosplay and made for over age male adult loser virgin pedophiles.

Generally speaking, how much is big a car bot masterpiece compared to a deluxe-size car bot, alt-mode wise?

>>5923646
Think voyager scaled (unless its bumblebee)

>>5923591
Oh well you're right that Hasbro's team seems to be in charge of the "paper" phase. It's always been like that though. From Henkei to United to Legends and Unite Warriors, and every official line in between, Takara usually just decides on what deco to use on the existing toy designs.

It's actually weird that TakaraTomy started doing their own molds and shit. Understandably, their market expects motorcycle Groove and shuttle Blast Off, and I guess that necessitated the new Deluxes.

It's interesting that they're doing even more with these Headmasters figures though. With the new heads on the actual HM characters, and the new tooling on Ginrai, maybe Takara just wants to further establish the differences between the cartoon and anime characters.

Or maybe they thought Blaster and Rewind had close enough sculpts that they didn't need to make new heads.

>>5923598
Yeah. I think the issue with the MP is that people seem to prefer the glossy "realistic" paintjobs as opposed to the new matte cartoon-style that we've been getting since Ratchet.

The MP stuff is more about consistency than simple accuracy. I think.

Thanks for the input, I'll probably skip Skullsmasher and Hardhead since I prefer Krok and Quake anyway. I went Takara for Scourge and Blurr.

>>5923661
>It's always been like that though
Fuck, just realized, looking at some of my generations toys, I mean the japanese wouldn't of given straxus a straight up toy until hasbro made use, just funny he got to keep his name in the united line

>It's actually weird that TakaraTomy started doing their own molds and shit
Well they do design the mp's first and foremost for their consumers (Japan) with hasbro cherry picking a few here and there, their market would not of been happy with the hasbro offerings.

>With the new heads on the actual HM characters, and the new tooling on Ginrai, maybe Takara just wants to further establish the differences between the cartoon and anime characters
Well takara's differences has been MOSTLY anime accurate, my assumption is kids want something that they seen on tv and want *that* in hand which also appeals to adults, hasbro on the other hand slaps on a g1 deco (or an attempt, looking at blurr and scourge) which only veterans would recognize, and kids would supposedly not give a shit (which they do, since the peg warmers are in shades of blue).

>Or maybe they thought Blaster and Rewind had close enough sculpts that they didn't need to make new heads.
They managed to squeeze in rewind's red face paint but they kept the plastic grey rather than which is strange, I initially presumed they may of retooled the TM head for blaster so the helmet isn't necessary (since its white with blue eyes which is accurate) but they kept it the same.

Which leads me to believe the pack in comic would come up with an excuse, the excuse being the same as the other characters,
>they got shrunken down so now we give them new transector bodies to make up for it
Hence why the headmaster figure is in twincast colors, the body is a prosthetic that can be repurposed as a "powered up" blaster, keep in mind this is theory/why they cost cut and thrown all their retooling budget into ginrai instead who is a prominent character who deserves justice

>>5923685
The Rebirth model's head looks weird. It's like he lost his ears.

>>5923684
Welcome, and good choices, blurr needed the variance, and while its easy enough to throw on some silver into the abs just the fixed connector port is a good incentive

>>5923688
>cutting down their cost
>retooling budget
It's weird, though. Where did that retooling budget come from? It seemed to materialize out of nowhere when Deluxe Groove was first revealed.

Did Takara ever do their own thing before? Honest question. All I remember is that they released Senator Ratbat, but I don't know if that counts because Scourge's Hasbro instructions clearly show the bat head being there in the first place.

>>5923685
God damn, rebirth had cheaper animation than the original cartoon.

>>5923703
Has anyone tried to bullshit a gun mode yet?

>>5923697
For ratbat it may of been pre-planned in the molding phase on the same sprue but may not of gotten used, much like the demolisher head on onslaught (but ratbat was strange, that's an idw creation, I know the japanese read those too but...really?)

Think they also did prime breakdown, supposedly because hasbro found it too expensive, perhaps tf's are even bigger in japan than we thought, maybe takara is willing to throw money at something to make it sell over hasbro's nostalgia factor

>(but ratbat was strange, that's an idw creation, I know the japanese read those too but...really?)
You don't like that IDW gave Ratbat a body, or do you just find it weird that Takara was the one who exclusively released an IDW-inspired figure?

>>5923719
No, neither use clear plastic for the hinges, its just the side panel that's screwed on that's clear.

I say travel damage or a qc mishap, one my own sdcc one avoided

>>5923726
I just found it odd (I actually liked that touch in megatron origins).

What's also odd is takara never bothered to use the retool of armada starscream that become jiaxus, why someone less prominent?

On that note, did straxus get a meaningful? retool?

>>5923728
Ok then, I'll spring on a FM when they're cheaper if it's not that much of an issue.

>>5923730
What's also odd is takara never bothered to use the retool of armada starscream that become jiaxus, why someone less prominent?

Because he barely looked like Marvel, OR IDW Jhiaxus.

Scourge has the closest thing we have to his vehicle mode, and with TR, he gets to have an accurate vehicle mode without needing to have Scourge's head pipe thing. Yeah, the robot mode isn't that accurate, but it's easier to make him from that (and there's no way they're changing all the robot bits to better accommodate him).

I think Takara might actually skip Alpha Trion, Megatron and Breakaway.

>>5923822
But they won't skip the mold type, just alpha trion himself, megatron as well (I'll be amazed if they do optimus) and breakaway was lightfoot in super god master force.

A redeco or a new head would work, they haven't skipped any deluxes yet

>>5923826
Big difference is Takara tends to skip repaints unless they're like that in G1. Getaway is a repaint of Chromedome with a new head, so I really don't see him getting a toy over there.

>>5923831
Its not a literal repaint though, the hasbro version has a new head, and takara can potentially tweak it.

They could retool the body too or give us an all new one but that's wishful thinking, all I know is it'll be a tease if they give us the headmaster jr crew as heads only and skip a member just because he actually gets a body

And they still skip characters even if that's the case. We didn't get a new Takara Windcharger, Thundercracker, Skywarp, or Gears. The Leader Seekers were also completely skipped.

lol Hasbro didn't bother to do a head based off the toy.

>>5923847
These ones are a bit more open to debate.

We got tailgate because of the hype at the present time of release I presume, windcharger was a straight up new head retool that didn't really do him justice, the missing 3 seekers could of been packed together but instead takara aimed at newer molds that better fit characters (the tav line's powerglide, insecticons etc).

And a better theory for all of those (and more importantly, the leader seeker's) is takara is chasing the curtain tails or the hasbro releases, remember the last 2 legends before TR hit were skids and springer (which were kinda random especially since legends springer was takara's SECOND springer), once tr came they may of outright dropped plans for them and weight straight into TR based molds.

I honestly like to fit the leader seekers into my "shit retool doesn't suit them" theory but chasing hasbro's hype is a better fit

I just finished that Combiner Wars series, holy fuck I need to rant about this. Why the hell did Combiner Wars suck so bad when it shouldn't have? The toyline was mediocre, the comics were just SPACE POLITICS, and this Machinima series was the worst. They hyped it up for absolutely nothing. When I was at a panel, they said that there "wasn't a frame in the series without a combiner punching another combiner". Obviously not to be taking literally, but that still implies that there will be more than 4 combiners, with only one "fight" in the first episode. Like, what the fuck.

And then that horrible "teaser" for a Titan Returns series was almost a middle finger.

>Metroplex out of fucking nowhere
>"Now, the Titans have returned."

I mean they might have well just said "Truly the Titan Returns." if they were going to end it in such a bad way. At least Titan Returns is coming out so much better than Combiner Wars in every way, but I definitely don't want to see another shitty Machinima like this one.

>The toyline was mediocre
The only good toys were the original intended cast of said molds (aerial bots, stunticons etc) and even some of them had issues (menasor shittier motormaster less shittier), it was nostalgia that drove the line, and the forced combiner peg would of limited mold variance (you can only change so much body wish with that big thing in there), you're spot on about the comics (least it wasn't ghost in the shell/evangelion like, they knew their audience wasn't that cerebral), the fact cybertron is "at peace" meant they needed to focus on other aspects.

But anything machinima is doomed to fail, craptacular animation, characters not even being accurate to existing media DESPITE being tagged as the combiner wars series (windblade being blood thirsty, megatron being a triple changing brute and starscream ACTUALLY fooling people, what the fuck).

If it was a new universe, no one would of cared, but at least it wouldn't let you scratch your head trying to work out what the fuck they were doing, I'm used to transformers being a giant toy commercial but this was aimed at young retards who just wanted action and dumbed down characters.

Also question for people, who here was pissed Petter Cullen didn't voice shittimus prime in this series (I named him that because this prime did literally nothing), be honest, I know at least one of you here is crying because our hero didn't voice our hero in a series that would bring shame upon him

>>5923877
He's upset because the retools were less intensive and was mostly new hats on bodies, or in some cases, just a splash of paint with a new bio made as an excuse for laziness

They are the best combinging transformer toys we had in years, and that's not a good thing, and we can spend all day picking apart devastator (without adding the takara vs hasbro changes which affect gestalt and stand alone figures).

But would we be happy if takara's plans for mp combiners come to fruition, only if our wallets can afford it

>>5923887
>He's upset because the retools were less intensive and was mostly new hats on bodies

Thats a large portion of Transformers in general.

Also no one forced anyone to buy the repaint waves. Most people skipped them and just bought the actual combiners (or UW sets).

>>5923881
A good dump is pretty satisfying, broski.

And then we give up hope on the brand and fuck off elsewhere.

Look, I'm a seeker collector, I fucking love these bastards, only because they were given proper establishment, and some retools I'm fine with, hell I bought UW menasor AND bought hasbro's optimus maximus wave (sales are one hell of a drug), I honestly think they still could of done better here, with shit like not blastoff (don't argue about "he fits the theme better", he's still a lame redeco), the car-former retools (not even a new body plate between the offroad retools, really?), we aren't forced to buy the repaints and new head retools, they still could of done better, infact alot of the line WAS mostly retools and redeco's.

We got the superion body, menasor body, defensor and skylynx body, we virtually got only 4 voyagers with bare minimum retools between them, the leaders were fucking shit (megatron body then nothing but repaints, they could of mixed up the leaders by having maybe one more leader body, granted I'm not a fan of the leader seeker retool so I admit bias), and the deluxes...

>jet body
>offroad body
>race car body
>breakdown body
Some got great retools, others, or should I say, MOST of them only got new heads.

I liked the line but its quite clear hasbro decided to test us and really cut back on budget, which is why I have alot more faith in TR, 3 waves, apart from qc we haven't had too much of new hat syndrome, yet.

Yes I'm aware of mister orange and breakaway, but even toys I don't want like soundwave impress me because of how distinct they are.

All in all, cw was fun, combiners worked and looked they part, but their individuality was minimal compared to TR

>>5923877
That's not really saying much. Devastator and Bruticus were top-tier, but everything else starts to fall apart after that as the induvidual figures really started to suck, especially when it turned into nothing but retools.

>>5923901
Because there are only 2 options for Computron, and if you want Superion, your other option is Power Core Combiners or Energon. Great options.

The reason Combiner Wars was mediocre was because so much was sacrificed for combined modes, and they weren't even great in most cases, like Menasor's problems or Sky Regin. Then there were bascially no cons compared to almost 3 Stunticon releases, and the individual molds weren't that stellar.

>>5923914
>your other option is Power Core Combiners or Energon. Great options.

I was including 3rd party for all of them.

>>5923862
The Machinima series was really just something extra to introduce the Titans, they shouldn't have hyped it up so much.
It would also have worked better if it was just a movie instead of 5 minute episodes.

>>5923876
The only voices that bothered me were Menasor, Windblade and the Constructicons not even talking.

I adore the Hasbro face for some reason despite its inconsistency.

What are some good femformers to pick up?

I already have generations Arcee, Chromia, Windblade and Blackarachnia, I need to start looking for more osbcure army/harem builder characters now

>>5923907
These are some valid points, and I can see how the repaints/retools could get exhausting. However, if you look at the "canon" combiners and just ignore the OC combiners (Galvatronus, Optimus Maximus, Sky Reign, Victorion, and MegaEmpress), then it shouldn't be THAT tiresome to see some repaints/retools.

Superion - Great all around. Transformations were pretty boring, but so were the G1 figures. But, if you choose to ignore Alpha Bravo and put in Slingshot, you already have a combiner with two identical limbs. So that kind of sucks.

Menasor - This guy suffered from a REALLY shitty torso mode. The individual bots are good, but again, if you replace Offroad with Wildrider, you're stuck with two of the same molds. This set is pretty shitty, IMO

Defensor - Great set all around. Rook is awesome, and you can still get a proper Groove. What's not to like about this set?

Bruticus - Another good set. The problem is the fact that while a lot of people could stomach Blastoff as a Jet, Hasbro couldn't even be assed to remold the head or at least use the Airrade mold. Also, the UW Blastoff is shitty...so yea, there's that. Still, in combined mode, Bruticus is damn solid.

Computron - Yes, he's made up of a bunch of retools and redecos, but he looks almost exactly like the character. The UW version is made up of 5 REALLY great molds that come together really well too. The only drawback to this guy is that he's made up entirely of remolds and redecos...but he's still a really good representation of the character, and the best modern day Computron out there (and I'm including the 3rd party figures in this).

Lio Kaiser also looks really good to me, but I have no prior knowledge of the character. He just looks cool. Plus, I think the Sky Lynx torso looks great. I don't own Sky Lynx though, so maybe I'm missing some type of QC that he suffers from.

>>5923941

Ah here we go. I had one on my instagram.

With MM's legs turned like this normally you'd either have to have his legs extended some or have them folded and just straight down which makes it harder to get a natural stance. MM's thighs are square so there's no room for them to turn when they're folded up. But if you trim some out of his lower legs then his thigh joints can rotate in this position and I think it looks better overall. Certainly better than the official leg mode.

Someone needs to make a kit for the headmasters. A karaoke mic for Hardhead, that cell phone for Highbrow, murdered corpses of old friends for Chromedome, etc.

I can't wait for the Sakamoto comic trying to explain why Sixshot's head is a little man who looks just like Chromedome's dead friend - who Sixshot got killed.

>>5924163
The new japanese Headmasters kept their orginial name, they don't use the american canon were the head and the torso have different names, for them Galvatron headmaster is just Galvatron and his jet/laser cannon transtector, theres no Nucleon.

>>5924177
Oh, I know that, but the head still looks like Abel or whoever it was. I just wonder if they'll rationalize it was Sixshot was Abel's brother all along or something. Or maybe he took on that look as part of his atonement once he turned good. There's a lot of "soap opera drama" level stuff you could do with it.

>tfw you would legit go back and tell them you didn't get charged for it

>>5924144
Easy steps: be sure the parts to paint are clean, even if you just took it out of the blister clean it wit hot water and soap, dry it and let it rest a few mins to let any extra water evaporate, be sure to use clean brushes and thin your paint, use several coats leting it dry between them, then just use clear acrilic to seal it.

>>5924208
Why would you? It wasn't your fault, but the cashier's.

>>5923919

I thought Windblade VA's was one of the better ones.

I agree about Megatron and Rodimus.

and Devastator's VA who voiced Silverbolt in WFC interestingly enough.

So my TR Galvatron's hips are unacceptably loose.

Can't find "Future" but I found acrylic floor polish to dab onto the pins in back and work in, will that work?

Well that too yeah. Reminds me of one year where we sold zero of those shitty funko pop figures because they had all been stolen out of the packaging gradually one by one throughout the year. Now they're all tied up with security "spiders" and the funko-fags complain about them ruining the packaging

It felt nice, and once I realized it (cause I bought a bunch of other stuff at the same time) I asked my friend that worked there if I should let them know and he said it was a bad idea. Especially because I'm on file in general with WM for hanging around the wrong people in my teens. Since I was only in the group and didn't actually do it I only got a slap on the wrist and my name in the system. Just said fuck it.

Double plus is that I only got him for the 4th limb of for galvatronus once the combaticon limbs came in. I gave him RID fractures weapon and now he's a samurai type.

Both.
TJ is an absolute autist and a manchild.

Chromedome has fucking horrible proportions and looks retarded.

>>5923530
I have the comic color one and he is 11/10. The G1 color version had some paint flaking issues with the gold for its first run, but has since been fixed, and it was only gold paint on the interior of the chest, not the exterior.

It's an alien robot. What proportions are the standard for that? Because they don't have to be that of a humans considering they aren't human.

I got my superion today too and his hand just broke right of when i went to transform him, like there was no snap, the plastic just bent and his hand ripped off.

>>5924401

You mean Silverbolt's hands? It's a known issue. Time to ask for a refund and a new set.

Was offered a deal by the owner of a local toy store - Superior and Victorion together NiB for $100. Think that is worth the price for what I would get? Still trying to read up on any qc issues they might have.

>>5924044
Can you show the actual cuts? Like, highlight where to make them? Because that looks fairly good actually.

>>5924417
Pyra Magna's legs don't lock in properly, but the joints themselves are solid enough to where they probably won't need to.
The helicopter mold in general apparently has very thin walls for attaching hands or feet, so caution is advised.


G2 Superion apparently has a LOT of silverbolt issues. Hands or superon's head breaking off are common complaints.

>>5924417

>>5924426
mostly this. it's a good deal overall since objectively you're getting two sets for the price of one, but it still helps to know what you're getting into since supes ain't doin so hot.

>>5923396
Streamy. <3

>>5924042

I hope someday we get a good chug figure of Strongarm.
I like the RID toy a lot but cartoon styles just don't fit with the collection, y'know. I have to same problem with animated and prime stuff.

Hopefully they realize how good of a design and concept a police truck that transforms into a musclegirl fembot is and adapt it to other universes.

>>5923919
They really shouldn't have, it wasn't worth it. Even the Titan tease was kinda dumb. I just find it silly that "Combiner Wars" was anything but wars with Combiners.
