>>5977251
so we discuss toys released during G1's airtime?
How about we post our own shitty customs instead?
I've made it better since this but I still never finished it. The pegs actually lock in rather than using magnets.
I'm a Beast Wars kid, but I have a healthy appreciation for G1 thanks to the reissue series from the early 2000's and Big Lots/Easter baskets with bootleg G1 combiner teams. I really like the aesthetic of the Diaclone/ first few year's stuff, though not so much the later ones from Headmasters and beyond. My favorite is Ultra Magnus. I'd love to see a proper update of the Diaclone toy, or a reimagining in the new diaclone line.

Has the "white-recolor-of-Optimus" version of Ultra Magnus ever been in any fiction?

Yeah the Dreamwave comics. Shockwave pwns Ultra Magnus, his "armor" cracks and reveals a white Optimus underneath.

Ruinination, apparently.
Not sure where its from (other than my usual chink facebook news sources which have been reliable) but we'll find out more once the date hits.
I skipped UW bruticus because I have the CW, but I might get this
>>5978070
Yep, it's Ruination alright.
Now watch as his deco is complete trash.
>>5978070
Hell yeah Ruination/Balgius. I'd like to hope they would put some effort into remolding Blast Off to look more like Movor's show model/toy but it's too unlikely to happen.
[DEPLOYING INTENSIFIES]
Crazybolt is pretty damn great for a gimmick toy. Fairly poseable, a good shape - all unlike the other deployers.
You can even fix the totally intrusive spring catch thing with a rubber band (though you might want to use a black one).
The car mode is also sexy as anything. Reminds me a lot of Animated Lockdown.

CAN'T WAIT TO POSE THIS GUY WITH MY TOKYO TOY SHOW SCOURGE
I recently replaced my Hasbro Hardhead's faceplate with a Shapeways-made IDW Faceplate, and I noticed something odd.
When the headmaster is plugged in correctly, it doesn't pop out, but the head shifts and wiggles a lot. However, if I plug the headmaster head in backwards, it doesn't wiggle around any, but it's not a secured fit and will pull out if I hold it by the head.
Anybody else experience that?
>>5978202

UW Superion looks like the same guy who took a piss on G1 Shining Magnus took a piss on Silverbolt too. UW Menasor has the ugly edgy black Motormaster and unpainted yellow plastic Drag Strip. UW Defensor has some of the worst paint jobs I've seen in years, especially on Hot Spot. UW Bruticus is a mess of poor QC and poor coloration choices.
All in all, Hasbro won CW/UW. The only place they lost was Computron.
>>5978216
>Implying any of the UW versions of those characters look better than the CW version
>>5978221
>Hasbro won CW/UW
Eh, I still think new molds are better than redecos, for Groove and Blast Off.
>>5978217
The actual Car Robots/RID Toys were pretty awesome and some of my favorites. The cartoon, on the other hand...
Seriously though, toy-wise, you can't tell me Omega Prime, Railracer, The Car Brothers, Scourge, and Galvatron weren't top tier.
And with the Takaracuck shitposting cleared aside, here's all 4 teams.
>>5978208
Yes. It works well with a few figures, but on the Hardhead mold (mostly due to the TM tiny head connector), you'll wear down the port really fast doing that, and the tiny TM head will get stressed (only on Furos so far).
>>5978225
What? CW Groove was a new mold too.
Also UW Blast Off was really really ugly. Not only does he have mantits, he also has a tiny dinky gun and is a Headmaster. Fuck that.
>>5978225
You do realize Hasbro released Deluxe Groove IN ADDITION TO Rook and Legends Groove (both of whom UW never even got).
I can understand the Blastoff issue though. Weird that Hasbro hasn't released that mold yet. As shitty as UW Blastoff is, it'd still be nice to have the option of buying it from Hasbro and not a UW boxset.
>>5978228
Still missing 3 of them.
>>5978232
>understand the Blastoff issue though. Weird that Hasbro hasn't released that mold yet. As shitty as UW Blastoff is, it'd still be nice to have the option of buying it from Hasbro and not a UW boxset
It took almost a year (11 months, give or take) for them to release Groove AFTER Takara released him, so we won't see Shuttle Blast Off until May, if they decide to release him.
>>5978233
Let me guess, you're incredibly butthurt that I got Rook, Alpha Bravo and Offroad when I could have gotten their geewun counterparts with ease, right?
Suck it, faggot.
>>5978235
Yea, I just worry that they'll be too far into Titans Return and just not give a shit about CW anymore though. It'd definitely be nice if they gave it a darker brown too...but seeing as how they really didn't change anything for Deluxe Groove, I doubt that'll happen.
>>5978237
Or maybe he's referring to the teams that you're missing. You know, Devastator, Sky Reign, and Optimus Maximus...
Maybe try not to be so defensive next time?
>>5978237
No? The teams have a few more members, and I only said you were missing a few, but be an asshole for no reason.
>>5978237
I personally prefer the new members because it lets you to have a team without repeating molds.
>>5978239
He's also missing Computron and Liokaiser...so that'd be 5 teams total that he's missing (6 if you count UW Galvatronus).
>>5978238
Colors for Slingshot were different, I have no idea if they changed anything for Wildrider. I get the feeling that if they do release him, his colors won't be that different from the Takara version.
>>5978237
3 teams retard
3 whole sets of teams
>>5978243
What about Victorion? She'd make 7. 10 if you count the 3 G2 decos as separate characters too.
>>5978245
>Lrn2read
says the guy that is so eager to pick a fight he thinks any comment is an attack.
>>5978245
So would Liokaiser, Computron, and Devastator fall under the "Classic Special Teams" moniker? If so, then that could still be interpreted as "missing 3 classic special teams".
>>5978249
Except that the comment was vaguely worded and could easily be misread as geewunners being faggots?
I come here to post my new toys and it gets turned into shitposting by the resident master baiters. Thanks a lot, guys.
>>5978252
Computron was Season 3 and Liokaiser was Victory, so no.
Devastator could probably be counted but the Constructicons are technically not a special team (which usually refers to Scramble combiners) so while they are a classic combiner, they aren't a classic special team.
>>5978252
Only Computron, but he's not a classic member. The others wouldn't count since they're not scramble combiners.
>>5978245
Wildrider, bigger Groove, and Slingshot. You sure get angry over nothing.
>>5978248
>>5978249
>classic Special Team leaders
That isn't a G1 reference. It's could be seen as a 08 universe reference but not a scramble city team reference
You know it's sad when the retarded that bought CW Computron had more grace when being shitted for his choice then you who took a single post with no context as an attack on your buying habits
>>5978255
Guess that makes sense.
This really makes me wish there was a CW/UW Abominus to go against CW/UW Computron. I guess Liokaiser will be his nemesis then...
>>5978253
>could easily be misread as geewunners being faggots?
So that justifies acting like one of them? The anon didn't even call you names or anything. You could have ignored it and save yourself looking so stupid.
>>5978260
See >>5978237
>>5978261
And this isn't G1. This is CHUG, and Universe 2.0 is clearly part of that acronym.
Because I hate geewun cucks and I always go out of my way to undermine them and piss them off. Looks like they came in full force this time round.
>>5978267
And me retaliating against shitposters now needs justification?
Anons pls, your damage control isn't working at all.
>>5978255
>he's not a classic member
Where are we getting theses terms?
What counts as " classic member"
>>5978266
It's sad to know a Scrambe Predaking would have been possible had they made that Alpha Trion figure for CW.
>>5978270
Classic combiner = G1 seasons 1 and 2.
Special team = scramble city combiners (including Abominus and Computron).
I'm surprised people aren't familiar with these terms.
>>5978245
>classic Special Teams
>Rook, Alpha Bravo, and Offroad are included in these CLASSIC Special Teams
So the classic special teams are comprised of the original G1 combiners...yet you're getting upset that people are confused about what you mean when you're included 3 NEW characters into these "classic" teams.
Fuck, you're a retard.
Ah fuck this, you're all squabbling kids.
>>5978269
You are only undermining yourself and pissing yourself off. I wager most here are like me and are just rolling eyes and chuckling at your damage control for spurging out so bad at a five word sentence that never said nor implied what you claim.
>>5978274
Isn't Piranacon also part of these teams?
>>5978274
Where did you get those terms tard tard? Not "I made them up" I mean where in community has that ever been used?
>>5978279
He doesn't know, he went full autist and is now damage controlling so hard it's fuck sad.
>>5978272
How? Would could have possibly been his limbs?
>>5978275
Classic special teams refers to the teams themselves, not the members. As far as I (and Hasbro) am concerned, Rook, AB and Offroad are all officially part of the Protectobots, Aerialbots and Stunticons, respectively.
It's your move, Geewunner.
>>5978278
What a boring post.
>>5978279
Kind of sort of, although he is a scramble combiner he wasn't released with the other 6 teams so that makes things a bit difficult.
>>5978280
"Special teams" comes from Universe 2.0.
"Classic combiners" is a general term that's been used for quite a while to refer to the 5 main combiners from Seasons 1 and 2.
I'm starting to think looking at the way he posts and act that the anon getting bitchy about >>5978233 is that poor fag shitposter that basically (tries to) derails threads anytime some posts new purchases.
>>5978282
>Would could have possibly been his limbs?
Shit, I need my coffee. I meant to say:
What molds could have possibly been used for his limbs?
>baaw I prefer reedun
What do you care what Hasbro chooses? You'll but it anyway because most of you buy ponies to "support Hasbro".
>cuck
This isn't cuckolding- that is a sex thing. This is Stockholm Syndrome.

>>5978283
>As far as I (and Hasbro) am concerned, Rook, AB and Offroad are all officially part of the Protectobots, Aerialbots and Stunticons
But they're not classic characters because they've never been in the G1 cartoon. Hell, by your logic, then Victorion should be a classic combiner team because Hasbro is shoving them down our throats.

That just makes this all the sadder because that means their are two of you that are super sensitive man children. You could have just kept posting about your toys or talk about them but you got so insecure at the three missing from your collection you acted retarded and have wasted trying to seem like you know what you are doing when the reality is you have no fucking clue and you just don't want to look stupid.
>>5978228
You know what must be done.
>>5978293
Still can't get over the fact you are using the same argument that lead to this mess when you took "missing 3 of them" as some geewuner twisting the knife.
>>5978285
No idea, but a torso would have at least given them incentive to make them. Then again, Scattershot wasn't even getting a team, until they decided to cobble one up at the last minute.

That shit just has to happen two more times and it'll be a new thread before the day is over. TF threads move stupid quick here regardless.
>>5978291
shut the fuck up, butthurt child. Buying ponies makes you a girl and Hasbro doesn't care that you make up 0.00000001% of their profits by doing so.
>>5978306
why? Hasbro's ponies are awful toys. Even the McD versions have been better, and the let Funko make some of them because they're somehow too inept to make "pony figurine of simple flash cartoon character" themselves, because they can't fathom making ponies without that rooted hair that looks like a bird's nest.

>>5978159
Underrated post.
>>5978319
I like little toys, and their blind bag figures are good enough for me. I haven't actually bought any of the brushable hair ones because they don't look right.
Is the landing gear necessary on the Legends Seeker mold? It's a neat detail to have, but I can't comfortably swoosh this jet with that thing sticking out.
Can I just cut it?
Okay, so I opened my knockoff Masterpiece Rumble and Ravage set. I dunno but these figures do not seem worth the $59.99 BBTS is asking. Is that why they're still in stock? They barely seem worth the $20 I paid. The Titans Return versions seem bigger too.
These Masterpiece figures are way overpriced.
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11574&mode=retail
>>5978352
Well of course the Legends class figures would be bigger than something that turns into an accurately sized microcassette. They're small by design, and the best part about them is how the designers managed to stuff cartoon-accurate figures into microcassettes.
Of course that doesn't justify their price to a lot of people, which is probably why we haven't gotten any individual MP cassette releases since those two sets.
>>5978070
FUCKING TAKARA I WANT MY LIOKAISER
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>5978351
You can literally just fold the landing gear back in you know.
>>5978365
There's a nub that keeps it out.
>>5978352
When you figure $60 puts each of them between 1/3 and 2/3 of an Autobot car, the price is absurd. They're nice but I think it would take a set of all 4 for $60 for me to not feel a bit cheated.
>>5978368
Well push it right the fuck back in.
>>5978352
Masterpiece figures are aimed at collectors that want a G1 authentic style. Where it looks like the old cartoon models but still transformers and what not. They are over priced because the major market is those that want G1 exclusively thus they don't buy other tfs.
Titans Return versions homages are basically aimed at those interested but don't have the money or interest in just buying G1 accurate. The TR/legends are more aimed to actually play with while Masterpieces are more for display

>>5977602
JUST
FUCK
MY
SHIT
UP
So I just picked this guy up yesterday at Toys R Us. How is he compared to the other recent G1 Wheelie toys? Is this the most show accurate one yet?
I'm always curious about how Hasbro decides what character model they are going to use in series. In CW Firefly is based off his original toy but Superion is based of the Sunbow model. Dead End and Motomaster are based off the show model while Dragstrip isn't based on either. Even into TR we see this where Hardhead and Highbrow are based off toys, Chromedome is IDW, Cerbros/Fort Max is the Cartoon and the Decpticon Beasts are just doing their own thing. I'm mostly just curious how they decided who gets show/comic accurate, who gets toy accurate and who gets an OC style.
>>5978394
>Is this the most show accurate one yet?
yes
His alt mode is a bit tricky if he has any QC issues
if you have any headmasters he's a hoot with that alt mode
>>5978394
Probably the best Wheelie figure. Some people say he doesn't tab together too solidly in car mode, but mine does, so it's probably yet another case of TR QC being shit all around.
>>5978165
>Bootleg companies release oversized and improved versions of mp10, evasion mode optimus, and movie hound
>Official company releases literally hollow piece of shit plastic robot
It's like bizarro /tfg/ or something
>>5978387
I heard the g1 tapes fit in the mp, simerlar sized apparently
>>5978396
Highbrow is actually based off the old comics but I get what you mean.
I figure they just do like most toy companies and makes sure all the bots are unique and stand out from each other.
All toy accurate Stunticons would look boring all Cartoon accurate Aerialbots would look boring. They likely split apart and pick what they think will pop out the most with kids and fans.
>>5978088
Nah, his deco will be show accurate, rather than the complete retardation Hasbro released at the time.
>>5978418
I'm not sure it's wise to call one retarded when the other has an upside down faction emblem
>>5978380
>>5978384
Well shit. Thanks for opening my eyes anons.
>>5978418

>>5978457

>>5978418
We all know what deco it'll be.
>>5978418
Wow, both look like trash.
I ususally don't post more than one Transformer a day, but I think I owe it to (You) to stick up for Alpha Trion
Because he's absolutely badass
The lion mode isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, but it manages to be much more satisfying than Thundertron's - and looks much better in-hand than in renders.
(Sorry for the crap lighting by the way, it's getting dark here).
And lastly, the infamous spaceship mode - which can actually look decent, believe it or not!
Just shove the lion heads back into their robot mode shoulder sockets.
>>5978474
Oh shit, his fists become his lower jaw? That's pretty cool.
>>5978474
Same. He's actually pretty nice. Bot mode is very solid especially, imo.
>>5977393
I have no pretense that the toys of that era stand up today, but it'd be ridicilous to expect that anyway - the only reason I'm into collecting toys is nostalgia, and seeing I mostly grew up in the early 90's and a lot of those -masters and Pretenders showed up at flea markets, there was a want but no have, so I have more affinity for those later year toys than I do for the 84-86 toys which I only saw very rarely.
Actually having a minty toy of something as bad as Landmine gives me a better appreciation of it, while a much nicer toy like Skullgrin is a bit of a letdown since it's damn near impossible to get him without a rash on his rubber parts.
>>5978480

>HOW CAN HASBROKEKS EVEN COMPETE?
They don't. Hasbro and Takara are on the same team.
Here's another old custom I did. It doesn't look too sloppy in hand. Someday I should take more flattering pictures of it. Like outside or something.
I'm still proud of getting a more accurate T-rex silhouette though, digitigrade legs and all.
And I can at least take solace in the fact that even my worst is better than this >>5978496.
>>5978496
the sad part is the group on facebook this guy posts in people actually ruse him by complimenting his work....
>>5978499

Could you post all 3 with their jaws closed?
>>5978502

>>5978396
Hasbro make a lot of weird choices for good or ill
We got a tiny set of seekers as well as a leader set in the same year
We got OC Viper, tiny Wreckgar, Chopshop and Scrounger. Fucking Scrounger a 30 year 2 issue character that was made to die got a full toy with comic accurate head to boot.
>>5978503

>>5978514
It's like Sid from Toy Story is making these.
>>5978512
Haha, nope. No priming at all. And thanks.
>>5978513
Fair enough. And I know what you mean. It's most noticeable at the neck. If I could find some scrap to sort of transition between them I think it would work better. The donor pieces are the IF add-on set, an Armada Megatron, and TFP Laserback.
It was actually my second go at Grimlock and used parts from this failed custom.
I can post more of my weirdo, almost-successful customs if anyone cares.
I don't really do much anymore, but I have a few things in the works. I mostly moved on to dio-making and photography.
>>5978521
in his latest video he mentions that he works part time at Michaels.... so I doubt he is wasting much, albeit he is probably blowing his entire income because in so many videos he just spams shitty old toys he finds at flea markets that he is gonna chop up for customs. As far as wasting money by breaking and fucking up good toys, he is blowing A LOT of money. A fuck load I bet.
The real kicker is he went to college for art....
>>5978478
Man, I'm really tempted to turn him into V Leo, but he wasn't easy to find on my country.
>>5978518
>a tiny set of seekers as well as a leader set
>Titan Master Brawn and Legends Brawn
That makes me really happy about the future of Generations. It means that characters don't have to be stuck with the one figure in one size class for several years. Brawn especially makes it clear that it doesn't have to be a super popular character to get the treatment.

>>5978599
The Voyager Optimus Prime from the very first baymovie's toy series.
>>5978533
I never understood why Hasbro gets such grief. Short of MPs they make all the molds and engineering. Takara plays with it but basically if CW didn't exist UW wouldn't exist, legends as a brand wouldn't exist.
I'm not wanting to paint Takara as bad just that both compliment each other.
>>5978608
They get grief because they don't do the deco's fans want accurately enough, or they don't do enough remolding, or whatever.
tl;dr The fanbase isn't some singular entity, it's a bunch of people. People inevitably find something to bitch about, some complaints being more valid than others.
So just have fun with your toys however you want. What others say isn't gonna change what you like.
>>5978514
I seriously hope this guy did this using incomplete junkers, destroying toys to make these abominations deserves gassing.
>>5978616
I wouldn't pass it for retards like that to use minty stuff because "it would ruin his artistic process if he use something besides it."
>>5978596
I don't know about shot, but there's at least one confirmed case of someone threatening people with MP05 and being arrested.
>>5978630
Still would like to know where an autistic kid got a G1 Motormaster. It looked like it was in pretty good condition too. Thats not the sort of thing you just give to kids with mental problems.
Checked my Walgreens today and found two Brainstorms on a peg. Anyone else pick one up today?
>>5978557
You mean the part that folds in for transformation?
>>5978641
Where you at Anon?
>>5978641
Chicagoland area. It's more than likely that they have more Brainstorms stocked up in the back.
Are you guys gonna buy BumbleZ? Looks like the best Transformer to come out since M*****l B*yâ„¢
>>5978685
Surprised that it hasn't got the Masterpiece treatment, yet.
I don't think I'd mind MPs using stickersheets at all if the stickers were higher quality.
I got Ratchet today and I just figured "you know what I'll just cut some red crosses out of the stickers they give you". I didn't realize though that the stickers are god damn horrible looking.
I'm ending up buying the upgrade sheet from toyhax for him just like I bought decepticon logos for Shockwave. It just looks better.
>>5978737
the fact that they look awful doesn't come up well on camera, by the way.
>>5978503
>scribbled "The" above "Transformers
This is some premium autism.
>>5978737
Is that windshield EKG part of the ToyHax sticker set?
>>5978751
nope, it's a little boxboard sheet that comes with Ratchet. I just ordered the sticker set.
It's neat.
>>5978752
Oh neat. That's pretty fun actually. I like how the mold looks as Ratchet a bit more than as Ironhide. I might pick him up.
>>5978547
It's really not. If you closed you eyes and frankenstein'd together a figure it would probably come out bettter than that guy's 'A game'.
>>5978756
I like the mold for either character but the hipskirts work better on Ratchet
>>5978640
Yes it is actaully
We see it's "value" but to the eyes of everyone else it's just junk you had as a kid
>>5978514
>mfw can identify some of the figures that were used for those monsters
>mfw know exactly who died to make those things
>>5978790
It's a horrible feeling
Like passing by a car crash and realizing that's your friend's car
>>5978785
It's funny because I wouldn't give a G1 Motormaster to a kid precisely because of it's value. I wouldn't want the autist to break it, and it's actually probably worth something beyond sentimentality.
And I definitely wouldn't give something I was sentimental about to anyone.
>>5978793
You're forgetting that many people are oblivious to that sort of stuff
Like the kid's dad went through his old toybox, found his old motormaster and instead of going "I'm going to google how much I can sell this for" he'd just go "I'll give this to my kid to play with
>>5977813
>Cheetah is coming before Megatron
This is still pissing me off, especially since Primal's original toy and 10th anniversary Re-release are still pretty great, if there's anyone who desperately needs an update, it's Megatron so he can at least get a fucking hand for once.
>>5978587
>Not "Don't go to the Cybertronian Senate tomorrow"
>>5978791
>Like passing by a car crash and realizing that's your friend's car
More like car crash with your friends in it, then some douche comes along and takes a whizz on the burning wreck as well.
The injustice done by these kinds of "customizers" is off the charts.
>>5978798
Cheetor is the kid attract character so they will try to shove it onto our faces especially they don't have to get a patent for a cheetah form.
>>5978807
You don't need a patent for a purple and green T-Rex, unless Barney the Dimosaur is threatening legal action.
>>5978811
You forgot the part that it is the kid attract character. Sometimes you need to read the whole thing before you spout shit out of your mouth.
The only difference is that MP Bee even if they have wanted to make him from the start, they couldn't because VW didn't want to give them the patent.
>>5978803
I take it Pic Related is good custom then?
>>5978599
That's not a knock off.
>>5978826
Nah, it's absolutely amazing but it doesn't compare to THIS masterpiece. I have nothing but awe and lack of words to describe how SUPERB this toy custom-if one can even be so modest to describe it as that. I wish they sold it in stores... It would probably go for HUNDREDS.
>>5978833
No that one is. It's from an Aliexpress listing.
>>5978847
>>5978847
well, at least the paint looks a little better on this one
>>5978847
>>5978798
>he can at least get a fucking hand for once.
I would definitely like to see a Masterpiece one though, expect at least half the Maximal cast before the first Predacon, assuming it's even going to be Megatron. Japan likes Cybertrons more than Destrons.
>>5978847
>>5978907
I didn't know that existed, what exactly is it and where can I get it?
>>5978951
At a glance it's probably one of those shitty robot masters figures.
>>5978951
Robotmasters "deluxe" he has a ko easy to track.
>>5978847
Are those Armada Red Alerts guns?
>>5978951
That one is Telemocha Megatron, Takara's version of Beast Wars 10th Anniversary. It's a recolor of Robot Masters Beast Megatron, a Deluxe sized version of the Ultra figure with gimmicks replaced by molded detail. Not a bad toy if you can get it without mortgaging your house.
>>5978972
I found him for $30 at a con like 5 years ago still in the box with his DVD. I should go find him. I'd love to get the Telemocha Optimus and Chester someday.
>>5978975
The DVD was a poor episode choice though since he doesn't transforn at all in it. Should have gone with Victory instead, he does more in that one.
>>5978973

Wait is this the one that has been banded over and over again in those communities for picking has/tak fights all the time?
>>5979010
Maybe. I tend to avoid forum drama over literal who's.
I absolutely love horrible customs. Some of you guys act like it's tantamount to strangling kittens or something.
>>5979027
It's many potentially good figures destroyed to make one absolutely terrible one, other people could've have had those figures and actually cherished them.
>>5978996
>why should we care?
he's responsible for shitting up a good 50% of these threads. little kid with too much time on his hands
>>5978514
Wait, is this guy named Alberto by any chance? Because I saw some CHUG Reflectors he made that looked alright.
>>5978737
Toyhax is where Reprolabels come from right? Damn, if you think those are good quality, you should get your hands on some Ocean or Eness decals. They're about 100 times better than Reprolabels' paper shit. I wouldn't put that on a retail toy, never mind an MP.
Just got Battle Blades Bumblebee today for like $20. Did I do good /tfg/?
>>5979093
The only stickersheet I have from them are the clear back decepticon logos, and they seem fine enough.
I don't know what their reprolabels are like but I've never heard any bad things about their upgrade kits and such.
Next time I want some stickers maybe I'll look into those two brands
>>5979108
Nah, their stuff is pretty ok. Definitely better than your standard paper stickers. And they're getting better on their newer stuff, basically vinyl stickers.
Although not as good as Ocean or Eness which are dry transfer decals.
>>5978847
Is that a piece of paper with the Autobot logo glued onto it? Because it looks angry to be a part of this mess
>>5978847
FOC Sideswipe may be a shit toy but it doesn't deserve this. Nothing does.
>>5978973
Hiya. I see you've been spamming my name nonstop for a while.
If you faggots think that's bad you ain't seen nothing yet.
>>5978070
I'm so ready for this. What are the chances somebody will do proper colored hands and feet for this guy? Some finger splay and actual wrist articulation would be pretty nice too.
>>5979165
It looks like fucking foil.
>>5979177
If it's popular enough PE will do hands and feet for it. Good luck on that finger splay though.
>>5977716
Sleep Tight, Scrapper.
>>5978418
I actually prefer Ruination. The grey works with the colors a lot better. Always found the gold on Baldigus to be too tacky. The only thing I prefer on Baldigus is Armorhide.

That's... neat, I guess. It'd be cool if it didn't look like someone tossed it in their fireplace.

Maybe I just really wanted to believe that nobody would sacrifice a perfectly good WFC Soundwave to summon a fucking old god.

>>5979240
Trialing Defensor's PE set with Superion. Not bad at all...
>>5979283
At least you have an Arcana...
Soon.
>>5979294
The feet work really well with his dynamic look. He's probably the most posable combiner of the four.
>>5979299
Comparison with Bruticus...
>>5979299
Superion and his repaints/remolds are probably the best combiner torsos.
Relatively well balanced with very natural proportions. Defensor is nice but his proportions are fucked, and Menasor is topheavy as hell. I don't have a Skylynx to see what that torso is like though.
>>5979306
I personally think it's a tie between Superion and Bruticus. Superion is more dynamic but Bruticus is more massive looking, while overall not being that posable in the leg area.
>>5979310
I don't really have an issue with Defensor/Bruticus in terms of poseability or play value, but if you move those legs just a little bit too much, suddenly you're going "why the fuck is his leg coming out of his waist"
>>5979312
I use the rotated thigh position for Bruticus so he essentially has no forward hip articulation. He does, however, look a lot better.
With Defensor though, I agree. The implied crotch only works if he's standing straight unfortunately.
>>5979295
One of the only figures I'm paying for EMS for, Monkey Prime cannot get here fast enough.
Money is no object. If the options were available to me I would pay any money to have him at my door tomorow.
Got this guy solo on ebay for 10 bucks. Always liked the mold, and this color combo is sassy as fuck. Blackjack was never officially in G2, so I've taken to just pretending he's Blackjack's little brother. Either gonna call him Baccarat or Double-Down.
>>5979322
He's Craps, anon.
Seriously cool find, looks far better than Scamper's dull black.
Could this work? I like how the horns look like the original fangs on V Leo.
>>5979332
If the beast mode ended up more robotic compared to A3's, I'd totally buy that, even if it couldn't combine with some sorta Generations Star Saber.
Would his headmaster be Ginrai?
>>5979323
Yes, I'm using PC-01 for Defensor and I'm getting PC-05 for Superion.
>>5979332
But then who's Star Saber?
>>5979346
That's what everybody is doing. I own 4 hands and feet set and 1 Menasor torso set and I just love it. I'm also thinking of getting that Dreamwave one that makes everything look so bulky.
>>5979349
Overlord remold + Jan and Holi or Jan + Brain of Courage as the Headmasters.
>>5979351
I'm also getting Superion's head/crotchset and Menasor's head/torso set and I have Bruticus' head/gun set. Then I will finally have my 4 special teams in perfection.
That Dreamwave set looks absolutely terrible. Can't believe that anyone would think that was worth selling.
>>5979356
I like it, I've seen them in person back during TFcon so I know what I am getting. Pictures don't do the set justice.
>>5979364
I dunno man, this looks really fucking awful.
Spend your money however you want, but personally, I'd say getting PC-10 in lieu of this is more worth it.
>>5979367
Not that one, the Menasor and Defensor actually looks amazing in person. It's like the regular guys got fed up of getting laughed at and went to the gym for a couple of months to get jacked up.
I am also still getting the PC versions because at this point I collect them as much as I can so even if I stop using some of them, I would never know when I would feel like buying doubles of the combiners so better have them on hand for when that time comes.
>>5979371
This still looks terrible. The headsculpt is almost Funpub tier.
>>5979375
Who says I'm using the head? I want it for the stylized hands, feet, and body part upgrade. Those are the ones I've been gunning for, even if I get the Bruticus set, I will be picking out which parts I would want to use to enhance the look without taking too much from the aesthetics of the CW stuff. This is why I didn't buy the PE for Superion because I was fine with everything except for the feet and why I am buying the Bruticus head and guns on the next toyshow. I'm buying it for the guns and not the head so the head will stay in the box for the most part unless I feel like changing that too.
What does Hasbro mean by this?
>>5979485
By what?
>>5979486
Shit, I think that's a leaked model for a The Last Knight toy.
It looks a lot better than the 1 step garbage, that's for sure. John "Geewun or reedun or it won't be done" Warden better carry this fucking thing through.

No dipshit, I mean they're not being marketted as kid appeal characters, unlike in the cartoons, when they had toys. Masterpiece is not being sold to kids. There is no kid appeal in their characters to market, so their placement in the line has nothing to do with marketting to children.
Grimlock was also MP-8, not MP-2 as you'd seem to think based off this "kid appeal" logic applied to the Masterpiece line.
>>5979508
I'm sorry, have a tough day at school, kiddo? High school isn't as tough, I promise.
>>5979306
The Skylynx mold has nice proportions too, it's quite similar to Superion's just that the hips aren't as skinny-looking. One thing is that the shoulder transformation doesn't lock as well as Superion's or Bruticus, though it kinda works as a shoulder swivel for additional poses.
>>5979531
Why do people like CW Liokaiser again?
>>5979534
It looks cool? And Takara's version probably isn't coming out for 5 fucking years given their UW release schedule.
>>5979544
It's incredibly inaccurate though. It's as ridiculously inaccurate to the source material as any combiner can get. It's almost Aaron Archer tier.
>>5977716
Sleep tight Scrapper
>>5979550
It is, true. But this is also a CHUG line. A lot of stuff in CHUG has been pretty inaccurate.
Personally I really want to see what Takara will give us, but the wait for it is going to be long. Especially since now they're apparently going full repaint mode by introducing stuff like Baldigus.
>>5979550
It's definitely not for someone looking for accuracy to the source material, but beyond that it looks REALLY good in all modes. There's also new heads for everyone and a godly amount of paint apps (aka effort).
Besides they've revised its price such that it's the same as the G2 sets, in S'pore, at least.
>>5979524
He's saying that he was the kid appeal character which made him popular which made him the second BW MP. easy to figure out
>>5979559
Maybe Takara's taking their time to produce an accurate Leozack?
>>5979575
Thats the hope, but we'll see how it pans out.

Rumour was Hasbro changed Ruination because in the interim Valdigus Family Dollar bootlegs were popping up EVERYWHERE. The whole set was only $5 compared to the $5 EACH for a Basic at that time.

Soundwave's TM is probably the least disappointing in terms of missing paint.
Actually no, make that the entirety of TR Megatron's body. From beautiful silver to shitty gray with shitty stickers.
>>5979570
Dude, if they didn't have the budget to make Liokaiser more accurate, they definitely didn't have the money to make a beast combiner that would need new molds all around.
>>5979322
Road Hugger!
>>5979724
It would be possible to create beast modes using existing figures through fanmoding and then reshell them around said beast modes.
>>5979718
Sweet Asia
>>5979550
Most westerners didn't grow up with Liokaiser
They won't have any attachment to the original.
>>5979732
Your saving at most 30% on a new mold because what you are asking is new arms, legs, head(s), and tail just for the beast modes alone
OC Liokaiser is just head sculpts
Holy clear plastic
>>5978527
Well, it's nice to know you're not being judgemental about it or anything
