Transformers 3rd Party General: BFG edition

What the fuck is that.

>>6025769
Eh, I don't really like the look of the official Devastators. Too many hollow parts, weird combined proportions, and the UW version is more expensive to get here in the UK than second-hand Hercules. I can see the appeal (very G1 accurate, surprisingly poseable combined mode etc) but...nah, he's not for me.

Fuck that is the first 3rd party combiner I'd really want.

>>6025792
TFC's Poseidon, it'll have 6 members so you can turn one into a gun.

>>6025825
Are they all sharks?
I'm not into Transformers but this guy is púre 90's badassery.

>>6025651
Wow I can't believe Tfc actually made something I eventually want.

>>6025833

No, this was just made with the members currently out, since apparently they're swappable.

And they're pure 80's.

Got to admit, I knew Gravity Builder was supposed to be big but he matches MP Star Saber with KFC Simba attached in height.

Only real complaint is the ratchets on the combiner ports for the leg bots are way too fucking tight. Needed to use a screwdriver to get them out.

Other than that, I'm really glad I got rid of Green Giant for this guy.

LIkewise.

He becomes the center of attention in whatever display you put him in.

I would like to keep him in that mode but he is so big, I have no space in my shelves for him in that mode.

>Weren't their dinobots garbage

I own the whole set. Their no where near garbage but, they aren't spectacular either. They improved with each release and for a freshman company released a decent set of toy accurate G1 Dinobots. If they hadn't had to make sacrifices for them to combine they'd been even better.

>>6027219

People are bitching about grimlock because he's just a better mp and not crazy redun version with complex enginnering.

People are bitching about weirdwolf because his headmaster is apparently low tech.

People are bitching about carnifex because he's not blue purple enough.

Were the issues with PE Leonidas just an issue of bad QC, or engineering problems?

>>6028722

Tolerances. Too tight or too lose. The small parts on it will break like the tail assembly. Something was wrong with either the arms or legs assemblies that broke the joints too. Standard Fare Perfect Effect from my experience. Looks amazing but falls apart in your hand. Aranea was the same way despite how gorgeous it looked. I'm really hoping they pull through with Primal considering everything is nice and beefy on him.

>>6028722

Being unable to hold the big diecast head up is just shit design. The joints needed to be better.

>>6028725
>>6028726

Maybe I lucked out but the only problem I had that's ever mentioned is the tail being flimsy, and they give you extra connection joints to replace any broken.

>>6028750

Jelly af. I wanted Xerxes bad but couldn't pull the trigger because of QC scares.

>>6028780
>>6028750
>>6028726
>>6028725
Thanks, I was just asking because Neoart (that company that did the MMC Feral Rex KOs, which fared pretty well) is KO'ing him.

If a lot of issues were just QC problems, then maybe this KO can be even better.

>>6028780
Well the KO company Neoart(?) is doing Xerxes, Leonidas, and a EVA-01 color scheme.

So maybe they'll end up having better QC. Their Feral Rex was decent.

>>6028789

I would totally consider a KO of him if they fixed his shit.

>>6028793
>>6028795


Even if its the same quality if you can get it cheaper then its probably worth it.

Fair warning, the lion mode is kind of doofy. I mostly bought mine for the robot mode.

Hopefully not-Tentakill can balance out Big Bite's colors. I actually like the uniform color though.

One problem with the combiner is that the head sits a little far back. Apparently the usual suspects are alredy working on upgrade parts.

Biggest issue with not-Snaptrap is the beast kibble and the back shell. It doesn't look like his arms have clearance to move his shoulders forward...

49KB, 1024x886px

Also not-Tentakill will apparently come with a few parts to extend the ankles of the combined mode and arm locking overlay pieces for the shoulder ratchets so the combiner can hold the old man out as a gun. All the bits turn into a large gun.

>Also I want to mention that all color will be molded plastic parts (with the exception of the face, they are painted). I really hate paint on a TF figure. But I know lots people out there do like paint. So I don't know, I can only do what feels right to me I guess.

>t. Boldforms facebook

Somewhere, a Bobby screams out in anger. But seriously what the fuck?

>>6029063

Master made also has virtually no paint but their amazing quality and fit and finish more than make up for it.

Boldfirms first release was hot fucking garbage so no paint was less of an issue.

>>6029051
I look at Piranacon and see a poorly designed blob of animals that just don't mesh well together. Compare it to Predaking, where it just clicks. I dunno, maybe it's just something that's not up my alley, I think it might be that it looks more like some sort of crab-creature than a robot that turns me off.

>>6029072
>>6029063

I honestly prefer plastic molded in the colors it should be rather than paint. Paint chips, scratches, etc. To me molding everything in the colors it SHOULD be is a greater effort than just shoving everything into one color and slapping paint on it.

>>6029099
ultimately it should be both. Red parts should be red plastic with red paint, that way it has that beautiful finish, but if their is a chip or scratch it's barely noticeable.

>>6029160

Isn't gloss injected plastic a thing though for that nice finish?

Fuck why did I laugh so hard.

>>6029177
No. It has a very different look and feel.

>>6029063
In a perfect world, everything would be molded in the appropriately colored plastic but we live in a world where companies will mold several details into one piece (understandably so in many cases because budgets are a thing) so sometimes, we do need to see paint on certain parts to make those details properly stand out or get them to be the correct color.

The reason you see a lot of bitching about a lack of paint is because Hasbro has been skimping quite a bit lately on figure budgets so we get large chunks of details that are just a flat color and things get drowned out by the rest of the part or they just end up looking cheap.

>>6029316

Or we get figures like Brainstorm. Who has more paint on him than 2-3 other figures combined, for no apparent reason.

How they allocate their budget is fuckin' weird at times.

>>6027079
oh sweet jesus i have never laughed this much when watching peaugh's reviews holy fuck

You tend to get what you pay for. If you just plan on playing with them once or twice, then posing them and leaving them alone, KOs are generally fine and dandy. Jinbao Feral Rex comes to mind as "Okay for a little while, then maybe stop touching it so it doesn't start cracking".

Yeah there are a few 3p KO companies that are decent, but you won't be paying less than $50 for their versions.

Wukong is pretty good their Warbotron KOs were actually an improvement over the originals at half the price.

Neoarts Feral Rex was decent as well.

>>6028818
Not my favorite combiner, but that looks bad ass.

>>6029940
I was reluctant to pick up Computron due to QC issues I heard about. He looks pretty decent, does anyone have input on how good the Wukong Bruticus is, and if there's anywhere I can get them all? Looks like tf-direct has them but figured it can't hurt to ask you fine folks.

>>6029748
He's gonna be huge compared to 6 inch figures, so maybe

>>6029926
>>6029923

Maketoys is one of the best long running companies that have consistently put out solid offerings for years. Their weak point tends to be transformation tolerances and over complication that makes transforming things a chore. You also have to dig their design choices which isn't a problem if you like the look of something.

Each figure is its own beast so never rule out bad q/c or a dud, but I would have more faith in MT than I would a lot of other companies.

>>6029993
>and over complication that makes transforming things a chore.

Granted the only Maketoys I have owned are Green Giant, Computron and Battle Sentinel but I wouldn't call any of those a chore with the exception of not nosecone

Got some examples?

>>6029748
>>6029978
I wish they had done a picture of his robot mode next to bruce, because that guy's already on the short end for 6" stuff and trying to eyeball height between modes doesn't help. But yeah, he's 100% gonna have scaling issues with the average six inch figure, which is kind of a misstep when they could have had built in comparability with a ton of other toys. Even neca's HOTS line is closer to 6" than their usual 7", so he'll probably look oversized next to the most likely official overwatch toys.

All of that's more of an annoyance than a dealbreaker though, this guy's still a day one preorder for me. I'm hyped through the fucking roof.

>>6029997

Not-Chromedome is a pain in the ass
Not-Lightspeed is a clusterfuck unless you memorize how the arms work

Yes. It's the best figure from the set. He's deceptively simple and sort of parts forms with the weapons but he's damn fine looking in alt mode.

I don't care for how big the leg wings are and the translucent weapons, but it's not detrimental to the figure. There is a trick to getting his legs to collapse/pop out so make sure you heed the instructions for it.

Are there any good Autobot combiners on par with Feral Rex? Maketoys Computron looks decent but his barbiedoll waistline coupled with a torso as thick as a cassette tape turn me off pretty damn hard.

>>6030166
Guardia is fucking amazing. Fiddly to transform but solid in all modes.

>>6030170
At first I wanted to go "Gayyy" because I'm a 14 year old edgelord at heart, but it does look about like what you'd expect for a quality Autobot combiner. Definitely looks better than anything else I've seen on the Autobot side, I'll take a look at some review videos, thanks!

Yes you do.

For a CHUG collection, Hercules or Gravity Builder? GB looks better made, but Hercules is a more manageable size and considerably cheaper.

>>6030826
>Hercules
Nobody wants that pieceo fshit. Joint tolerances are awful, color in person is off and cheap looking, and you need upgrade kits to fix it. GB is miles better and had about 2 years to modernize. IT looks good in a 3 modes too, unlike Herc's weird lanky proportions and deformed vehicles.

>>6030183
The one you posted is like 140 though.

>>6030866

He is the outlier. Even the now old swoop and snarl figures are still 200.

>>6030849
Hercules doesn't need any upgrade kits? There's one available but it makes the figure look retarded.

The joints do suck, though. Someday I'm going to look into tightening him up.

Why the fuck do Grinder's proportions seem to vary so much between different photos? Some photos like this one have him looking perfect with chunk in all the right places but then others make him look super lanky with these long thin thighs and a big bulky chest and feet. I've been so on the fence about this guy but every time I think I want him, I see one of those pictures and it turns me off. Then I think I've decided not to get him and I see pictures like this. What the fuck gives?

A lot of early photos don't showcase that his arms collapse in to shorten them in robot mode so he was left with lanky kong arms.

His thighs are thin but no worse proportionally than the official MP-08.

He just looks thinnest from dead on I think.

He does have a barrel chest and big boots though still.

>>6031051
They're quite pricey but come with a fair bit. I want Otomo just because he's a red bike and comes with a buster sword, but I'll pass on Spector General. No real reason to get so many of the same molds.

This is extremely close to the Costa art with only a few colors being off. What's impressive is that they managed to hide all the wheels in the sculpt and keep comic proportions accurate to a fault. What's interesting is that they tried to get the grey bed of the truck art accurate when that shit is near impossible to translate from comic to toy. The articulation range looks superb to boot.


But that head sculpt tho. That shit is really is killing it for me. Those antennae need to split. The helmet bits next to the mouth plate need to be angled.


I can't help but really like the Generation Toy one too. The more stoic inaccurate proportions work better for me in general than the Costa Exaggerated ones despite how bang on Gcreations has got it.

idk I want one but I don't know if I could justify both.

>>6031212

And for comparison, here's how the Generation Toy's matches up with the MP.

Note the proportions and sculpt differences. GT's has visible wheels, but I don't think they hurt the design.

Ah, well, I knew anything too G1-divergent was a long shot.

>>6031271

Well, what did you expect? People want CHUG stuff with their combiners a lot of the time. If they didn't make him weird legsquid it wouldn't be CHUG.

>>6031288
You're saying Classics Mirage or Nerf Megatron aren't CHUG?

>>6031290

Nerfgun Megs happened because realistic guns and children are a no-go as far as toys are concerned anymore. Thats why tank Megs is even a thing. Classics Mirage is still a race car in the same style.

Just like keeping Tentakil a weird legsquid is still keeping him CHUG.

>>6031296
My point is that CHUGs update and modernise and often change designs. Turning Tentakil into a slightly less doofy squid wouldn't be outside of those boundaries.

>>6031318

Well, we haven't seen anything other than a silhouette. The only weird part is the legs, and given everything else in Piranacon has legs when it shouldn't, thats just normal.

>>6031318
Agreed. Seacons already, on average, look pretty stupid - and the outlier in the direction of terrible design is Tentakil. Giving him a touch-up would help mitigate a weak link in Piranacon.

>>6031271
It would have been weird if they chose the last member to be the only one they change up the design with though.

All of the Poseidon alt-modes have been pretty faithful. I just wish they made the colors more like the G1 toy, but I understand why they went with colors closer to the cartoon as the G1 toy colors are quite intrusive lol.

That seems to be DX9's business model; somehow get wind of what other 3Ps or Takara are working on then quickly release an adequate but not perfect version on the market. By the time the other companies even release prototypes or test shots, most people have already bought or own their version.

I think we are in the clear at this point, as tentakill is coming with a bunch of parts to fix peoples criticisms of combined form.

The only way I can see it fucking up is if tentakill is literally the biggest piece of shit riddled with QC issues, though we'd atleast have the other 5 members.

Never forget the cycle.

>>6031652

This is mostly true since the torso tends to be released as one of the last bits of a combiner. With Neptune we're past the critical point of knowing if the legs and joints hold the weight of the figure thanks to the limbs being interchangeable. At worst the arm ratchets can't hold up another bot in gun mode.

But we shall see. Ironshell looks to be one of the best executed torso bots if you can get behind the alt mode.

>>6031677
>At worst the arm ratchets can't hold up another bot in gun mode.

So far he can but its just really hard to get him to keep it up, but tentakill is coming with some add on pieces which will the arms more stable for the gun modes.

>>6031685

From what it looks like it locks the ratchet in place so you can't move the arm without taking the piece off. The combiner can probably two hand the gun if the bulk doesn't get in the way so who knows.

Bot mode is cool too. The shoulders are a little hindered by the back pack, but you can untab it and cheat a little. This is my least favorite design of the entire team, so if this is the low point, I'm pretty happy. Couldnt care less what the combined mode is like. If its great, well, bonus for me. If it sucks, no big deal, I bought it for the individual bots (which have all been great so far).

Guys, tell me something bad about Pandinus. Convince me not to get it for myself for Christmas.

As someone who's never played Overwatch but thinks this looks great, wtf am I missing with the transformation? Do the tank treads just partsform right off the figure for robot mode?

>>6031814

Yeah. Bastion has no tread parts on him anywhere. they just magically appear when he goes tank mode.

Perfect candidate for partsforming.

>>6031814

Nothing. His tank ultimate was added last minute as his first ultimate was a crock of bullshit they got rid of in beta. He kind of just shits the treads out of the shin armor in the game while the rest of the leg widens out. The treads bits aren't actually part of his design in the other modes.

Looking at the figure the entire waist piece seems to just pop off below the torso and the tread pieces are entirely new parts. It's probably the best way to handle Bastion without compromising the fuck out of all the modes. At least we can probably get a gertank mode out of it.

That whole thing about companies intentionally fucking up their figures so that you buy additional upgrades or fixes bundled with another release is really starting to make sense. There's no reason this part should not have been the default on Ironshell. Instead its another fix part taht will come with not-Tentakill. The sunken head is something you catch in the rendering and design phase.

Pushing the head forward makes it look a little bigger and much better seeing it side by side. Especially at angles.

I think I'm keeping Big Bite as an arm though. Looks too good make him pull leg duty. Him and Nautilator are the only two without gaps in the forearms so far.

Man, shut the fuck up. At least they releasing upgrade parts. Not like Takara or Hasbro would ever do that.

>>6032471
>ball jointed looking tentacles

Aww yeah. I'll probably end up buying this even if I don't get any of the other figures. It's hard to turn down a tentacle monster.

>>6032465
>That whole thing about companies intentionally fucking up their figures so that you buy additional upgrades or fixes bundled with another release
Oh yeah, you mean that stupid shit made up by some random guy 3rd parties confirmed having no idea who he is? Stop being so naive kiddo.

>>6032375
>>6032379
I like how bbts listed the price of everything else outright in their solicitation email, but you had to click to see how much he is. Looks like 470 total, and I have no idea if that's reasonable or not.

>>6032539
Not that it makes much difference, but I'm pretty sure those are just swivel-hinges.

>>6032574
470 total seems fair enough I guess. Same amount of material you'd get with a combiner.

>>6032574

Well, most combiners are around $300-600 and range from a foot to I don't even know. How big is this Omega going to be?

>>6032598

20-21" at the head.

>>6032607

Then yeah I'd say $400-600 range is probably "normal".

Still way too much for an Omega though. It doesn't need to be THAT FUKKEN BIG. Realistically, how many people are going to shell that much out for a giant robot?

>>6032617
Yes, it does need to be that big and plenty will buy it. Go be poor somewhere else.

Anyone remember the name of that upsized Warbotron Grimlock model kit KO?

>>6031857
At 25 maybe

>>6032465
>Instead its another fix part taht will come with not-Tentakill.

Who gives a shit? It's not like they are making it a separate add-on kit like they used to do in the past. Not to mention it's coming with a figure everyone wants anyway.

>>6032617

I am seriously considering just fucking my shit up with a 400 dollar 3A starscream purchase. Plenty of people have deep wallets in the collector's market.

Also if I dump pics of said starscreak would I do it in the official thread or this one? It's a third party licenced figure.

>>6032782

Either/or. Since it's both official and also 3rd party.

>>6032782
It's an official product. The term "3rd party" completely lost its signification when it comes to TF.

>>6032890
>The term "3rd party" completely lost its signification when it comes to TF.

Just had a terrible flashback to when third party transformers initially hit the scene, with majority of the threads being derailed with people arguing about the proper definition.

>>6033000

The white night brand cuckolds in the other thread call everything without the "Transformers" title a knockoff so it's not like the vocabulary is important.

>>6032785
>>6032890

I don't personally care about the thread division anyhow. It's stupid that people get so principled about IP infringement when we're all on the consumer side. I don't get why there's two threads at all.

I'll probably share in both.

I'm looking for something, if I may ask. Can anyone recommend me an easily available IDWish styled Prime? Preference for Cybertronian mode. What can I look at?

I apologize, I'm trying to look myself, but it's difficult not being familiar with the companies, and then the different names of the figures.

Thanks in advance.

Iron Factory Supreme Commander is a legends scaled IDW Cybertronian Prime out soon that takes his design from Stormbringer comic. This is the closest thing to an IDW Cybertronian Prime.

Spark Toys has a Dreamwave accurate Prime from the War Within about the size of MP grimlock. Not IDW, but still from a comic and Cybertonian

Gcreations and Generation Toy are making MP scaled IDW Primes Based on Costa's artwork. Both are months from any release though. Both are posted further up in the thread. Both are from IDW but are based on the earth Truck design

>>6031259
>>6031195


Transformission is doing a legends scale model kit for the same Costa design but you'll have to wait until the entire combiner it goes with comes out. Earth truck design

Planet X Jupiter is about to drop a voyager scale Fall of Cybertron Prime. Cybertonian and not from a comic

There are upgrade armor packs for CW Voyager Prime that turn him into comic style Optimus Prime without having to take any pieces off after you attach them. Beelzeboss's is art accurate to Prime's current CW look in the comic and there is an additional kit coming to improve other things. SND's take makes it leader height, retains and improves the combined torso mode, and is based on the older Costa art. IDW but earth mode.

Toyworld Orion has a really pisspoor take on IDW costa Prime. Only worth mentioning since the black repaint actually works out. IDW but earthmode.

Striker Manus from Maketoys is a stylized Cybertronian Prime worth mentioning because its rad.

There are more primes but this is the rundown for what you wanted.

Honestly I might buy this one just as a standalone. I really don't have the space for a full combiner but I do love squid monsters. I'd love if they did a Scylla deco. I like her colors more.

>>6033203

I actually wish the deco was a little bit more exact to the Seacon's. Theres a lot of grey in these ones that wasn't there. Like the first guy they released, pretty much all of his grey is supposed to be a different color.

He's excellent. My only real peeves are that the elbows aren't double jointed where you would expect them to be, the visible pin really bothers me on the arm, and he really needed a good bit of forward toe tilt to pull off some of the dynamic stuff he's capable of otherwise. He's got the crunchiest of abs.

There's even a black repaint on the way as well as an entirely new mold for Powermaster Prime if you are interested in them. Megatron is next in the release order though.

>>6033317
>>6033363
He's good, damned near my perfect optimus, but keep in mind that he's got balance issues. He basically has no heels at all, so he tips backwards easily and you might have to work at posing him a bit. Slightly forward leaning stances are his friend.

You might not have the ankles adjusted properly. I had a lot of issues with mine until I realized the feet could be folded down flatter than I had them. Granted, its still not perfect, but better than it was.

Short answer: Yes.

Long Answer: Thats such a hard question to answer. I personally thing all 3p bots are overpriced, it's just the price you pay for buying small production run toys. Personaly, the IDW and WFC designs are my favorites so this was right up my ally. Also, the articulation is fantastic and accessories and top notch. Id say if your fan of the design and the character, its worth it.

Yeah, that was me.

The irony is, its really not that complicated of a transformation, you just kind of have to figure it out for yourself the first time.

The hands, forearm and wing mounts are all 5mm so they will work with Iron Factory, Master Made, and MMC, and most Hasbro weapons.

Goddamn you take some nice pics Anon. And I like the FoC/WFC designs, I just don't own any of'em except for a FoC Voyager SW. However, I'm also lacking a Starscream that's not a Legends too, and the MP looks really unappealing for several reasons-Price, all of the problems with that mold, etc. It seems like the MP Seekers are just shit all around, especially for their cost. I like my lil' Legends guys, but it is nice to have something a bit meatier and bigger. I'm not a scalefag either, so I'll collect anything I think looks cool.

How big is that one, looks like it's Voyager-ish to me?

>>6033604
Can the gun integrate into the forearm like in the game?

Fucking hell Planet X. I already wanted your OP and Trypticon. Don't make me add this to the list too.

I do wonder where they will go with this line in the future. Megatron and Ironhide? Kind of want them to tackle this overlord tho.

>>6033664
>Can the gun integrate into the forearm like in the game?

No, the handles flip down for some reason, but I cant find anyway to mount them other than the 5mm port on the back of the forearms.

>>6033669

They'll probably just cover guys from the games.

>>6033665

Why the fuck they didn't start with Ironhide and Ratchet after they finished up the dinobots I will never understand. Prime and Screamer already have toys so there was no need for a remake immediately despite the scale issues. Ironhide and Ratchet have fairly easy to do alt modes and robot modes while being no brainer remolds of each other. Plus they featured heavily in both games. But no we had to get a poorly thought out Paddles and a FOC Preceptor of all people first.

Now they have Trypticon in the works which will eat their budget for the next year while they shit out seeker repaints because that's the obvious thing to do.

>>6033669

I'd also find it hard to resist a FoC Megatron.

What about dx9 take on Rodimus Prime?

>>6034602

Better than the old MP by a mile if you want a Rodimus, but not really the greatest toy ever or anything. Someone will eventually, definitely make better.

And if you want the best Hotrod, just grab the new MP.

>>6033671
It looks like the hands can flip into the forearm, have you tried attaching the butt of the gun where the hand normally would be? The butt looks wierd so I figured it could maybe latch onto where the hand was.

Hey all, I recently purchased an MPP10B, and I love it to bits. However, the research that I did before hand got me into the whole third party scene, and even though I wasn't planning on getting another figure, would anyone know about any good Sunstorm figures, 3P or KO? I've had a look at the Classics/Henkei KOs, but I was wondering if there is anything else.
