>>6006071
>>6006072
Supporting Beast Wars, for one. Also I paid For the AE one first, and later the mace got revealed as a bonus so I ordered that a few weeks afterwords. One will have the base faceplate with a mouth for a Transformer display, the other will have the faceplate and hang out with Gaogaigar, Dancouga, Big O, and Giant Robo

Goddamn everything from TR (QC aside) is so good looking. If only the QC wasn't raw ass so buying any given figure is usually a gamble.

Victorion was released as a "platinum" edition and had a higher MSRP than other CW sets. In Singapore (where Hasbro has tight control over the prices), the G2 sets were SGD 200 while Vicky was SGD 220

The interesting thing is that CW Liokaiser and CW Computron were released at SGD 200 despite liokaiser having the "platinum edition" label.

Pretty underwhelming. Get of the day was that big ass box that can store more of my jap toys.

How do the hands and feet on the CW look on the UW?

>>6006118
>>6006133
Is it just me, or do a lot of the TR deluxes have an amazing altmode while the robot is a bit of a letdown?

>Skullcruncher
Gator mode is amazing and expressive, but his robot is kind of stocky and can barely stand.

>weirdwolf
Wolf mode is great, but his robot mode has the narrowest hips known to man and a chest the size of texas.

>chromedome
Beautiful 80's retro-future sportscar, but then he turns into a fatass with short arms/legs and a really wide chest

I can't quite put my finger on it, but they've all got these weird proportions going on. I sort of think it's the legs, because hardhead got ten times better once I got him that foot upgrade set.

>>6006169

Honestly, I like the robot and alt modes of them all. And Chromedome is more based on his IDW than his G1 figure anyway, which sports a narrow wasp waist and huge chest, like the figure has. At least it's not based on his G1 figure though, which had the proprotions of a plant of wood in 'botmode.

>>6006163

Make no mistake, i'm not underwhelmed by the toys, I haven't even opened them yet. I preordered them months ago when I saw the Hasbro vs Takara versions of Blurr and Computron, but now they've been so covered, so reviewed, so praised, so oversaturated that I pretty much know 100% what i'm going to get before I open the boxes. But again, haven't even opened them yet so I can't really speak. I ordered Computron for that giga drill Nosecone and Blurr for that sexy color scheme.

It's more of a problem with me than the toys, really.

>>6006160

Wish I had the dosh for all that right now. And they're all good figures.

>>6006179
I really want a UW Computron, he's just so fucking expensive for what he is. I'd Gladly pay 130 (shipping included), any more than that and it's just too much.

>>6006182
In his defense, a version for all those molds have already been released in some way or form, the biggest change would be Strafe.

>>6006160
Only as good as you want them to be

>>6006172
If I had to choose one word to describe IDW chromedome though, it'd be lanky. His arms go down to his knees, and his legs are maybe 2/3rds of his height. The toy is just kind of stumpy in all regards.

>At least it's not based on his G1 figure though, which had the proprotions of a plant of wood in 'botmode.
Yeeeep. Kinda nowhere to go but up, at least.

>>6006132
Didn't Strongarm sell pretty badly, too?

>>6006185
Someone was selling them for pretty cheap on Ebay a few days ago, but it was probably a scam (apparently in China, using Canada Post, Free Shipping, etc...)

Admittedly, he's pretty fun. Makes me want to open my CW Bruticus. Not sure if I should just buy the UW. Is it vastly superior, or am I holding out for nothing?

>>6006193
The demo is aimed at young boys. Same reason the girl power rangers don't sell well. Only collectors our age give a shit if they're willing to dive into the toyline aimed at children.

>>6006118
Weirdwolf has thus far been the first TR figure that I actually found satisfying. He's expressive, well articulated, and actually has engineering and a parts count that puts him a bit more in line with the hayday of the Generations line. I was just floored when I picked him up, opened him, and found out that he had that clear (soft) red plastic core throughout his entire head. From the pictures I had seen, I just assumed those holes in his wolf mode head were just going to be empty space in Hasbro's effort to save just a few extra pennies on plastic and the eyes would be painted on but to find out it was actually a giant chunk of light piping in there made me so happy. I was also impressed that his shoulders weren't just a single hollow yellow piece with paint but the blue parts were actually another piece snapped into them. It's a small detail but having bits like that actually makes the figure feel so much more alive than just using paint. He also has that ball jointed neck on his wolf head when I was fully expecting it to be a single static piece. The range on it isn't amazing but it gets the job done. His hind legs were also great because Hasbro didn't take the lazy route with them where you just have the robot mode legs sticking straight out the back with the knees bent 90 degrees downward like so many quadruped TFs tend to be. Last but certainly not least is HE ACTUALLY HAS PANELS TO COVER HIS ARMS WHERE HIS HANDS FOLD OUT! I have been so tired of seeing that lazy shit on current TF lines, especially on Voyager class figures, where the fists just fold and leave these big gaps in the forearms with nothing to cover them. To see that level of detail come back in what has been one of the chintziest lines we've ever gotten just made my fucking day. Mileage will probably very on this one but mine actually had pretty solid QC to boot and I know that has been a major issue throughout the line. He's just a really satisfying toy.

>>6006185
I was able to get uw Computron for like 135 off of amazon not too long ago

>>6006249
When? I've been checking every few days, and the lowest I've seen him was 155.

>>6006105
Masterpiece Star Saber with KFC Simba attached.

The fucker owns whatever shelf you put him on.

>>6006255

Yes, but then they added paint apps in friction areas just to piss everyone off.

>>6006132
I don't think girl transformers sell period. Only adult collectors want them. It probably would have been starter to bundle them with a bunch of male characters like what they are planning with Nautica for TR.

>>6006243
UW Bruticus is absolutely horrible. CW is the vastly superior one.

>>6006255
dunno if they fixed them on Liokaiser but Skylynx's ratchets are actually super easy to fix. The tab that fits into the ratchet gear is actually a separate piece that rests inside the leg. The reason his ratchets suck is because that piece sits too low for that tab to catch on the gear so it just kinda rubs on it, resulting in floppy joints. Just take the leg apart, pop that piece out, and put something in there to lift that piece up higher, like a small rectangle of plastic, a short spring, or even a tiny piece of paper folded up several times. Put the piece back on top of that, put the leg back together, and boom, he's fixed.

>>6006262
>Only adult collectors want them.
That's why you only see maybe 1 or 2 female characters in the lines aimed at kids. I think ROTF was the last one to have more than 2 girlbots.

>>6006267
Thrilling 30 had three.

Ratchets are fixed. Plenty of paint apps. All new heads. Nice Arms Micron included.

As for the negatives, >>6006260
Also, in most sets the jet molds have loose joints and tabs. My particular set had the unfortunate issue where one of Killbison's horns is fused to the gold paint.

>>6006270
Thrilling 30 wasn't the line aimed at kids so what I said still stands.

>>6006132
Windblade sold just fine. It's not that there is no demand for female characters, it's just that Victorion is hot lazy garbage. The torso is just Hot Spot so it has all the same problems he did. Two of the limbs are identical, save for the mirrored paint job, and the other two limbs are just the same boring car mode we've gotten a dozen times over. Top it off with the fact that none of the characters even look like girls and the awful color scheme and you get a really mediocre toy that nobody wants, especially not for MSRP. I know part of the problem with her design and components is that it's what the fans voted for, but Hasbro still could have done a much better job working with what was voted on and producing something that actually looked half decent. From what I hear, she also suffers from a lot of QC issues so that doesn't make her especially appealing either. If it's anywhere near as bad as G2 Bruticus, which it sounds like it is, I want no part of that.

>>6006271
hair dryer and an exacto knife? Might help to cut it free, though you'll probably have to repaint the horn afterward to cover up the gold still stuck to it.

>>6006279
That's my point. They can sell when they don't look like shit.

Don't worry I fixed it shortly after getting it (a month ago). The paint was fused all around the hinge. Had to open it up and nudge the horn out forcefully. Thankfully all the damage is hidden when you assemble it back.

It's probably a very unlucky QC issue, I wouldn't worry about getting one with it. At least i haven't seen anyone else with the same issue.

How so? I have all the pieces, I just haven't opened them. I like the blue the UW used on Onslaught, and i'm a sucker for the 'correct' (no Alpha Bravo, Offroad, Rook, etc) g1 combiner teams, pic related, so I feel like i'll appreciate the shuttle more than the jet.

>>6006292
QC issues everywhere. You're almost definitely guaranteed the leg tabbing issue with Onslaught, the shuttle mode hates tabbing its legs together and has a head that comes off so easily you'd think it's a Headmaster, Brawl's waist is almost definitely going to be floppy, and Vortex' rotors have a tendency to pop off. It's such a massive disaster it's amazing, not to mention how ugly the paint job looks.

Ignore this>>6006308 all the figures ended up more solid than the Hasbro version, Blast-Off does have some issues, but you should be able to fix them easily.

The only problem I found was Onslaught, who could suffer from paint chipping on the combiner chest, and on the combiner pelvis if you transform him to vehicle mode.

The Combaticons are one of those situations though where their cartoon models are huge deviations and if you prefer the toys then the cartoon models look like an abomination to you. Thankfully based Hasbro did good

Really love how different Optimus Primal feels with a faceplate and without. Really gives me a who different personality. As a kid I used Ultra Optimus Primal as an OC do not steal Beast version of Black Convoy, and his signature weapon was the mace, so I 'm glad to have a version of that mace here. that said, it's really cumbersome, and seems to weigh as much as the figure. I'm worried about displaying it with the elbow raised too long, I'd worry it'd loosen the joint.

>>6006105
Wow, that fan art is old

I am glad to see it, though. It's still gorgeous after all these years.

>>6006325
I hate that it doesn't have any kind of sculpted fur texture like the original did. I know it's accurate to the television show but I don't really want a robot with a "cgi gorilla from an era when the cpu powerful enough to render animated hair was still a far away dream" alt mode.

Scale

>>6006364
I was apprehensive at first, too, but in hand it doesn't feel like an issue at all. I think it's a good compromise between making it look detailed like fur, and not being too busy like some more detailed art or customs of Primal are. Rendering the fur with a lot of detail is interesting, but it usually just seems uncanny. Most of the time it just looks uncanny

In a lot of ways, it feels more like a figma or other Japanese anime figure than a regular Transformer . Going in with that mentality makes me enjoy it more

>>6006279
Windblade and Arcee sold fine because they actually look feminine.

Nobody wants girls that look like dudes. Not even in robot form.

I got a Menasor for 35 (they're suppose to go for 40 in the store, but the box was messed up and they gave me another discount). Kind of moot since I already got one for 60 earlier this year...

Cheers! And as an equal-opportunity mecha/robot enjoyer, I love TFs! Haha, it's also nice to scratch that robot itch without having to spend $60+ every now and then.

Drifted away for a bit as I wasn't too interested in Combiner Wars, and this made me kind of ignore Titans Return. Picked up Skullcruncher and Blurr when Walmart marked them down to 10 bucks though, and it made me fall in love all over again. Enjoying the heck out of TR!

>>6006500
Can definitely see why, I'm also having a lot of fun with his vehicle mode too! Overall he may very well be my favorite out of TR so far, with Brainstorm as a close second. Blurr would challenge 'em if he had just a couple more highlights of color in robot mode, but I still really like him too.

You picked some good stuff to nab. Pretty much everything in TR is good in terms of looks/design, minus the rampant QC problems. Why didn't you like CW though?

>>6006551
He's alright, if the treads could rotate to the back in botmode to avoid the "hanging" look and the cockpit wasn't floating in mid air in altmode he would be great.

>>6006542
Brainstorm is just straight up weird in the paint department. In a line where you can't even get painted wheels 90% of the time, he had so much of it they had to put it in straight up stupid places. I'm really curious as to how him being a retailer exclusive as well as single packed in a case changed his paint budget vs. an average deluxe.

>>6006537
If you like him, check out the nonnef ankles for him. It's weird spending 10 bucks on an upgrade for a 15 dollar toy, but they improve him a ton.

>>6006565
I know, and it's even more surprising the painted colors actually match the molded colors. Hasbro tends to fuck that up in most of their figures.

>>6006542

Brainstorm literally ate the entire fucking paint budget by himself.

Monkey love. The mace was a nice surprise.

>>6006569
Man, that's the even weirder part. The teal is visibly different between the nosecone and body, but the brown and cream on his arms is basically flawless. I didn't even notice it was paint for a week until I looked into one of the holes where he pegs together for transformation.

I just wish I could see him as anything other than a future car with wings, because they really pulled out all the stops.

>>6006585
>The teal is visibly different between the nosecone and body

It's shiny, but it's the same color. On another toy, it would be a completely different shade (like Weirdwolf's painted yellow chest).

>>6006526
If I ever get her I'm definitely adding some more silver.

>>6006594
Well, if you think of getting it, pay attention to the amazon version since one of the listings has been dropping for the past few days and may end up in the 40's like it did 2 months ago.

>>6006599
That's what I'm watching for. I'm kicking myself for missing it last time. She's definitely not worth even $70 to me, but $45? Sure.

It's not really scuffed, it's dented.

Otherwise Primal is a fun toy, the fur paint has a near fell and I really can't complain.

A neat thing is the Transformers logo on the box uses the 90's font which is a nice throwback. Gonna have to order Cheetor now.

If we got the Bay movie a year earlier we'd be saying it's "Command Class" or "Mega Class". at any rate, comparing Optimus Primal to a retail toy from wal-Mart should make it evident that its not the same level of quality, even if a Leader class Optimus Prime is bigger its noticeably cheaper made.

>>6006752
The higher quality a toy, the higher the percentage of possible fuck ups, and also concern for those fuck ups, no matter how minor. Hot toys a severely guilty of this, to the point where I've seen people gleefully point out that their $200 Batman figure probably won't last 20 years.

But I digress, MPs have more paint, more detail, and more pieces than your regular transformers, so there's more things to mess up.

>Realize I have 12 combiners

Shit, barely have enough space for the future Trypticon, Predaking, or Piranacon.

>>6006754
You're just reaffirming how fuck up these common factory errors are considering the cost.

>>6006755
>The higher quality a toy, the higher the percentage of possible fuck ups
So why is Hot Toys not always riddle with errors?

>>6006440
That was part of my point. Victorion sold like shit because it looked like shit and was just a bunch of lazy retools of male characters. Windblade and Arcee sold well because they actually looked like good toys and were female characters that actually looked like females.

>>6006755
You are paying $120 minimum, not counting tax or shipping, on this. That is a large price tag for how common this fuck up is, also I find weird as hell you anons can be so chilled getting fuck over on pricey imports but witch hunt/shitpost thread after thread over similar QC issues with Hasbro releases. Hell you are basically telling me the more expensive it gets the more broken it will be.

>>6006766
I was actually using Hot toys as an example because I've had bad luck with them. My superman had snags in the costume, ASM2 Spider-man's face got covered in black stains, magnets that have fallen off, clothes that snag, etc.

Also, surprisingly bigger than I'd think. The only bw toys I have still are TM Rattrap, Cheetor, and Silverbolt but they're in a box somewhere.

Shoulder to shoulder with Wheeljack.

>>6006755
I'm not sure "we should just expect this to be shit" is the best approach to this argument

>>6006771
Windblade barely holds together in either mode and heels collapse

>>6006772
Because customer service will(hopefully) help us out with this. QC issues on pricier toys have always been easier to deal with for me, providing you have the patience. With retail stuff its harder since there's no gaurantee you can just find the same figure at a store, or if companies will work with you to replace that figure.

>>6006772
I like how that one anon put it once
>It's like the fox got the grapes, ate them, found out they were poisons, but wouldn't tell anyone they were suffering.

>>6006782
customer service with Mattel and Hasbro is usually top shelf assuming you still have everything that came with it like the box so they can have a serial number to follow, they will out right replace broken/mismanaged figures and parts and if not possible give you the choice of replacing it with an equal or greater valued product on hand or the refund.
Also there is no middle man, where it came from BBTS, Target Walgreens or Hasbro Toy shop, as long as you have everything including proof of purchase they will take care of you directly.
I have dealt with them on big and small purchases and it's been worth it.
I'm sure Takara has similar if you speak the language and I am also aware different countries might have different service.

But that's all a huge moot point because you shouldn't have to deal with this for the price you paid for it.
It's basically getting smack in the face and then asking if they can smack you again but with the dick.

>>6006325
Why do you have two? That shit's expensive and I have trouble buying TF's that share a base mold sometimes.

>>6006763
Just wait till you hit my horrors where you clean out 10k of transfomers and you still have to fucking many.
I sold my G1-07 movie collection becuase they were in storage for the last 5 years and now all I have done is clear out room to store stuff from the last 8 years...which will likely be sold in a few years as well. I keep telling myself I learned my lession and then I blink and I have all of the CW/UW releases.

Thoughts on these Roadshow tin wall hangers? They are mostly based on TF toy box cover art.
Of the toy art I saw Soundwave, Megatron, Thundercracker, Grimlock, Powermaster OP. The guy at Hobby Lobby said there was more then what I saw there today. All the same I found it pretty cool.

>>6006816
Trust me the QC issues have a good chance of souring that
Go for Computron unless you are a huge Bruticus fan

>>6006820
I'd go for it if it was at least 135, but I just can't justify it at 155.

>>6006831
Well this was my mistake as well. I went for the cheaper one because that's all I had budgeted and now I can't buy Computron since a shitload of stuff are coming and I just bought the KFC Simba just because of how good it looks like and the general favor on his review.

>>6006831
Fair enough but that 25+ discount on UW Bruticus isn't worth all the flaws it has imo

Why is it that everytime someone tries to point out the QC issues on UW Bruticus a shill comes a long and does a whole "NO UR RONG" routine? Is this Takara's own version of CTR?

Finally completed my ideal Defensor, pardon the shit pic. Wouldn't mind some new feet for him but none of the 3rd party ones looked good to me. Also I wish I new how to 3d model shit so I could shapeways a new head for legends groove and make him into Gasket police-type.

>>6006853
So far that hasn't happen yet this time
To be blunt it could be that when you buy something and it's got flaws it can nag at the brain. More so if that's a big purchase for the month or longer

>>6006791
I bought the mace-less one for about $60 or so way back when the yen was weaker and AE had it on preorder. So in the last week I only had to pay for the one with the mace, and shipping for the AE one.

I bought two for a few reasons. One, the mace was announced after I bought my preorder for the first one, and I wasn't sure if the mace would be hard to find later on. Second, I wanted to support more MP Beast wars figures, so I see it as a possible investment in getting more. Third, I'm keeping them in two separate displays, one with regular transformers, and the other with other mecha heroes from non-TF series.

Anyway, I'm not buying too many retail TFs at the moment.

>>6006870
So it's basically a dude with serious buyer's remorse issues then?

>>6006881
That or he just likes stirring the pot

>>6006885
We have plenty of dedicated shitposters ITT so that's very likely too.

>>6006178
If you're buying toys for the initial wow factor, then watch all the previews before hand and feel underwhelmed, it's your fault for being a moron.

RID Scorponok is also based on Scorponok...Bayformer Scorponok.

I haven't bought a Transformer since I was a child, but today I bought one that can turn into a robot, a tanks, and a rectangle.

For some reason the fact that it can turn into a rectangle makes me happy. I just wish it was all black so I could say it was the Monolith

Picked up CW Sky Lynx at Toys r Us for $10. All the CW voyagers are on for that here in Canada this week. Of the ones they had at that store, he seemed the most interesting as a stand alone.

Sadly he's the only thing I have from the CW line due to price ($20 for a deluxe, $30-$35 for a voyager) and the fact that I saw more Motormasters than the rest of the line combined.

>>6006947
Maybe it's because you're buying from Markups R Us.

>>6006941
Rewind? Rumble is the same mold as him and has a more black colouration (with a good bit of red though) there are others that could fill your monolith desire, though they don't turn into a human robot or tank.

>>6006950
Laserbeak and Ravage are pretty fucking shitty molds, I'd advise against getting them.

Just got TR Blurr for $8. Target apparently sells Generations Deluxes for $10, and there was a 20% off deal for all toys that ended tonight. I wasn't too sure about this Blurr's color scheme, but hey, $8.

>>6006950
It was Rumble. Do you think it's weird for the Transformers that Rewind is a good guy and Rumble is a bad guy but they look the same?

>>6006963
That's just how it is with retooling.

In the end, you could just as easily portray most decepticons as autobots and vice versa. The factions are a superficiality.

>>6006963
They wear badges to state alignment.

>>6006965
Couldn't they just put on a t shirt?

>>6006967

The badges are the robot version of a t-shirt. You didn't think they were all naked, did you?

So I'm not really in Transformers anymore (used to have over 100 when I was 10 or so but sold them all on ebay to good homes) but I kind of want something for nostalgia. I don't know what though. You guys have a very intimate understanding of this stuff I lack, what would you guys recommend?

>>6007025

Who is your favorite, and what show are they from?

File: 1473548342648.jpg (876KB, 1936x2582px) Image search: [Google]

876KB, 1936x2582px

>>6007025
If you want nostalgia, you should tell us a bit more about the stuff you had as a kid. The Generations line (and its predecessors) is all about remaking old designs and characters, so you might be able to get a fresher, upgraded version of your favorite childhood bot.

If you want a fun toy to mess around with, the current Titans Return lineup may be right up your alley. It has vehicles as well as robotic beasts, and a line-wide gimmick that gives you smaller figures that can interact with any toy you buy.

>>6007025
Depends on what year it was when you were 10.

>>6007027
>>6007031
>>6007033
Well I'm 18 now so I was into transformers around 2004-2008. I remember really liking Soundwave in the G1 cartoon when I watched it wherever. The constructicons were also really awesome. I'd go and get one of those really nice Devastators but I can't justify spending $100+ on nostalgia. When I watched the shows that were on it was Energon and Cybertron but looking back neither had particularly toys or characters and reading the TFwiki about Energon was a keking cringefest now that I can see Energon for what a mess it is. So I dunno what I really want, what would you guys recommend based on my vague ramblings?

>>6007042
For G1 shit, CHUG and MP is the way to go. If you're looking for a modern, styzlied Soundwave, the WFC Deluxe is a recommended option, especially if you can get your hands on the United paintjob. If you want a G1 accurate one, the MP is the only way to go, although that one is quite pricey. Hasbro is reissuing it soon so that's the cheapest option.

>>6007045
The TR leader class is worth mentioning too.

>>6007049
lol no, that figure's a poor man's version of the MP. I'd recommend that one to people I hate.

Are there any good diecast non-transforming Bumblebee Camaros and Optimus Peterbilt 379s?

Good news, the reissue MP is only $160 and the United fig is only $40 if you know where to look.

>>6007056
well the MP reissue of the masterpiece soundwave has ALL of his cassette bots, pluse accessories, and he's only $160 as a pre-order.

Finally found Weirdwolf and Mindwipe, both are amazing deluxe figures. I remember reading that there's a tab(s) that people keep breaking, is this a case of people ham handing the figure or me just getting a good Weirdwolf?

>>6007057
Because
>>6007056

Your dislikes may not be his, and if you think it's worth avoiding then explain why and see if he agrees with you.

>>6007061

>>6007061
Not a tab, but the hinge for his cockpit is very prone to breaking due to a flaw in the manufacturing process. It's a QC thing primarily, but it also could happen anytime so be careful.

>>6007062
Guess what? Neither of my recommendations come close to $200, much less $300.

Take this shitposting elsewhere, or make a fucking recommendation yourself.

>>6007065
Still haven't explained why it's a bad choice.

>>6007042
Clearly he stated even 100+ is too much, so I'd say TR soundwave is the closest thing to a cheap g1 soundwave he might be interested in, there's also the previously mentioned WFC soundwave which costs more than it's worth, or the voyager FOC design (which is basically the WFC one ballooned up) but these designs are very derivative to the original.

If cost wasn't a issue, I'd recommend the masterpiece soundwave aswell.

>>6007064
>>6007065
I've checked the hinge and the pins are set properly and it doesn't require an unusual amount of pressure to push the cockpit out of the chest, so either I'm real lucky or hopefully this is a case of just the first batch being a bunch of rotten apples.

>>6007058
now this I would've bought in a heartbeat

Help me identify this thing, guys.
It was in a lot with other Beast Wars shit.

>>6007080
I should also state the United soundwave has no official cassettes that work with it.

>>6007082
Cybertron wreckloose.

>>6007070
Because it's clearly retool fodder and was obviously designed to be Blaster. Furthermore, it's grossly out of scale with everything and anything save MPs, and if you're going with MP scale you may as well get the fucking MP.

Were you born special did you train yourself to be this retarded?

Furthermore, Mr Cherrypicker, he clearly changed his budget to $300. Try the fuck again.

>>6007072
Hmm, sounds OK to me. Just be careful when dealing with that hinge, it's quite thin plastic in general.

>>6007078
You can get it on Mandarake.

Also, the MP has 5 cassettes, one of which is only purchasable with the Soundblaster repaint. The remaining 4 come with the reissue I mentioned.

United's unfortunately has no cassettes, which is its major downside.

>>6007086

>>6007100
I suppose to continue past this point could be considered baiting, so i'll leave it here because it would be a waste of time to continue with this, and if I was baiting this is hardly worth the effort.

Not only are you terrible at baiting, you don't even know where the conversation with that guy has gone.

Jesus, you're an embarassment in more ways than one.

Went to Wal-Mart, got the last Apeface as well as a Flywheels. Left Grimlock and Brawn, but no wave 1s left apparently.

Did I do good? Apeface is pretty neat to look at, but Flywheels is more swooshable. Considered getting Grimgram but the $20 was literally the last money I had in my wallet

>>6007051
Nah. I have the MP but the leader class is also a good toy.

>>6007110
I'm the guy and even I don't know where the conversation went, I'm just gonna see what my local Walmart has and report back

>>6007119
It's an OK toy but a terrible Soundwave. Which is also why Blaster is a good figure despite being the same mold.

>>6007058 While its faithful to the g1 design, I like the sleekness of the dezauras mold more. The blocky torso of the silverbolt mold works well for some combiners but not for all.

Buy a Deluxe, they're $10 right now and all pretty good.

Soundwave is a rough character to get a good toy of because the last guy in charge of TF had some odd ideas about the line--for example, Soundwave couldn't just be a fucking tape player because nobody would know what he would be because nobody uses tapes anymore. Nevermind that the only people interested in a Soundwave toy already know what a tape player is.
So fast forward to now and the new guy in charge doesn't give a fuck and made a new tape player Soundwave. He's like $45 and alright (not amazing, just alright).

But the Deluxes and Voyagers ($25) right now are cool.

Soundwave (and Blaster by extension) also has his old cassette minions. They're all sold separately at 10 USD each, so it's up to you if you want to get any of them.

I suggest the red humanoid, Rumble (or Rewind if you're going with Blaster). He's definitely the best among these guys.

Also they had toys patents for wall art of OP, Powermaster, OP and Fort Max, as well as these 30th anniversary wall covers of Transformer toy adds throughout the 80s.

Hell, I made that post for amusement since there literally is a Transformers community on Reddit. Why it suddenly turned into an argument of all things is just really sad.

>>6007430
Because it was a shitty post, and contributes nothing to the thread.

Now kill yourself painfully and slowly, so your parents won't have to deal with the shame from you.

Wrong. Classics does some things differently, but it's not for a completely new take. Again, reinvention is for the main likes. Animated, Prime, movies, current RiD. Classics is more than just "inset character and do it differently".

Reinvent
1. to invent again or anew, especially without knowing that the invention already exists.
2. to remake or make over, as in a different form

The second definition is literally what CHUG is. OC lines are just invention.

CHUG isn't about vastly different styles, but they certainly take some of the simpler designs in different directions, especially when compared to Masterpiece's MO.

A pricy, extensive paint deco, a very miniaturized electronic gimmick, and the fact that the yen has fallen in value drastically so things have readjusted so its more pricy than the MP cars were. Figmas and Figuarts have also gotten severely inflated.

>>6007478
Not that anon but I still like the proportions on the MP-01 more.

The lower legs on MP-10 should have really been extended, like what that oversized MP did.

Last one I can remember that I was happy with was one from the 90s. It was some race type car, black body and blue legs. I think his body changed color, had a yellow water squirt gun he could use.
Anyone remember this guy? Think he was a Decepticon.

>>6006556
>Why didn't you like CW though?
It's pretty obvious. You either like combiners or you don't. A lot of the single toys in CW took a major hit in quality for the sake of becoming an arm or a leg, and even then some of the combined forms were weak as fuck. Meanwhile, TR toys are all very self-serving, and their gimmick doesn't require any compromise at all.

I like the idea of combiners, but really nice ones just can't be done at retail prices, and turd parties generally just suck.

>>6007543
>their gimmick doesn't require any compromise at all.
Voyagers and Leaders have pinheads and helmets because of that.

>>6007540

Is this bait? Are you a filthy little baitfag? Salty because you never got a sweet MP-01 for Christmas, and some people have and enjoy both versions?

>>6007557
That's the one! Kick ass, thanks!

>>6007540
Galvatron, Alpha Trion

>>6007554

Sentinel Prime and Astrotrain (which share the same mold), Galvatron, um...Alpha Trion. Technically the Leaders are triple changers because they have a base mode.

>>6007560
They look horrible
Blasters visor doesn't work and only PM Prime hides how pinheaded they are and PM only works because it's a full helmet/head.

I prefer MP-10 overall, but that's actually one of the better pics of MP-01 and a pretty shitty pic of 10.

>>6007487
>The lower legs on MP-10 should have really been extended, like what that oversized MP did.
Bleh. I understand what they were going for, but I don't think it turned out very well. It makes him look far too lanky, and the gray they painted on the rear fenders just makes his legs look scrawny. There is room for improvement on MP-10's legs, but not like this.

>>6007540
>>6007554
Hardhead is a really fun toy, so is Skullcruncher/Skullsmasher (the alligator). If you see Galvatron and can get past the face mask thing then he's great aside from that. If Wave 2 is around you then any of the Deluxes like Chromedome or Highbrow, Mindwipe or Weirdwolf are fun.

If you see Blurr or Scourge (and you will) neither of them are strictly bad toys but their colour schemes could be better, and are in Japan. But if you see them on the shelves and don't mind the colours then by all means grab them.

All the Voyagers in TR are triple changers, so. Sentinel Prime is an okay toy if you get past the colours; Astrotrain is a repaint and looks better. Alpha Trion looks neat but his third mode is shitty and only there for when he gets retooled into Broadside.

>>6007561
Oh shit, it's the MP-01 retard again.

>>6007249
>likes MP Soundwave-lite
Don't see how that's an issue. If they were the same price it would be an easy choice for the MP, but it's 4x the price. Not everyone wants to drop $100+ on something they may fiddle with a few times and then forget about.

>>6007576
thanks for the info, do all the TR figures have the weird headmaster gimmick? What I'm really wanting now is a Blitzwing but it appears there aren't any in production. Are there any other triple changers like Octane? I remember having a Universe toy of him back in the day I liked

>>6007589
Yes, anything bigger than Legends class is currently a Headmaster.

Also, both Blitzwing and Octane are coming, but not for a while. In the next couple of months you'll see a new Optimus and Megatron in the Voyager class; they will be made into the two Decepticon Triple-Changers sometime in 2017. If you want those two you'll have to wait.

>>6007589
Those two are coming late 2017

>>6007581

Nahhh. Firstly, I am certainly not the individual who has defended the merits of MP-01 on this board - they don't need defending - and secondly, I am no retard.

Jesus christ, how come Titans Return Soundwave and Soundblaster get sweet ass strong clicky joints, and sideways/forwards/backwards ankle movement, making them probably the most poseable leader class transformers ever, and all the other transformers get jack shit in that area?

They turn into tiny disco dance pads for your headmasters as a bonus.

Comparened to what? I found the TM leaders the weakest yet. Actually I find only the delexes and legends better then what has come before. The other two sizes are filled with disappointments and subpar enegernering, they hardly gave Prime or Blaster/Soundwave the clearance needed to stand straight.

>>6007624

Prime/Magnus are fucking awful because their feet hardly move and their legs are massive cankles that bump into eachother. They look nice though.

Soundwave/blaster can actually move around and do dynamic poses though with ease.
