So here's a question:

What's the coolest black and red redeco of Optimus?

My choice would be Galaxy Force. Even without the armor he looks sharp.

Also excellent choices.

Fireburst is also a contender, although I guess it's more of a super dark blue depending on the light.

Did anybody ever find a fix for Warrior Bisk? People were talking about how bad he is last thread, and I've been waiting for him since he was announced. I really want him but everything I'm seeing makes him look as bad as T30 Blitzwing.

I found a video showing how bad the problem is https://youtu.be/NVf3X4aouzI

The little tabs on Pyra Magna's knees can be removed safely, can't they? I know they're misassembled and don't feel like trying to re-do rivets, figured I'd just dremel down the two tabs so they don't produce stress marks on her lower legs.

Also wonder what people use for sturdy glue, my Windblade's wing broke around the hinge a year or so ago and I've been meaning to get around to fixing it, but things got away from me and now I'm considering just buying and painting up the RiD one instead.

>>6058360
Honestly, a panel misalignment would probably be solved by either messing with the tab, adding or removing mass to help it stay, or finding a way to soften the plastic a bit so you can bend it into shape and let it sit.
>>6058364
Yeah, the figure stands really good without locking them in, both on her own and as Victorion. I haven't trimmed them off myself since I actually love the idea of Pyra being taller than Hotspot or Onslaught.

In unrelated news I bought Fangry to round out the decepticon headmaster Jrs and I may pick up bumblebee when I have the dosh.

>>6058364
>little tabs on Pyra Magna's knees can be removed safely
Yeah. You can use model-kit nippers or wire-cutters too.

>Windblade
Just buy the RID. It's the more fun version of the character.

>>6058369
>I actually love the idea of Pyra being taller than Hotspot or Onslaught.
She does look nice with that slightly taller silhouette, my only worry was the stress marks I've seen others get, though nothing has shown up yet as I've been fairly careful.
Nice find on Fangry btw, I've more or less decided to get just the Decepticon TMs and have them hang out in Soundwave's zoo since he's already got a few little animal dudes anyway. Finally got HotSpot in yesterday too, fucked around on buying him and wound up having the limbs for almost a full year without a middle, bought the case last xmas but never got around to HotSpot until recently.

Not gonna lie, I kinda want to see more fembots in the TF movies with roles beyond background characters, if only to see Walky and co have a shitfit about them being "Objectified" in the movies. I mean, can you imagine the butthurt that would ensue if pic related got onto the silver screen? Or better yet, if Based Sakamoto actually got involved with writing the movies?

Writing's not the problem as is making a good way to get CG robots in for more than 45 minutes of screentime.

Personally I'm disappointed that in ROTF they didn't reduce Skids and Mudflap to hi-and-dies and make the fembot triplets the "comic relief" for Sam's "team". So replace the brawl between Skids and Mudflap (the one that reveals the tomb of the primes) with a 3-way robot catfight.

So what is this Long Life Design Award?

The MP line has also won some other awards before.

Since the reissues will have the logo incorporated, does that mean boxes of earlier editions will be worth more?

Will Artfire and other MP production runs after MP-36 will feature this logo?

>>6058381
Stress marks shouldn't be a problem if you leave them on. The only real risk shows up if you try to lock them in normally. Just extend them about as far as they can without looking weird, and you should be fine.

The Megatronia crew aren't even bad as characters, it's just that Sakamoto can't separate his fetishes from his paid work.

T30 Armada Starscream Is better in everyway in comparison.
Except that it should be voyager sized.

>>6058519
Eh, I can appreciate the deluxe size. I just wanted a decent-looking Starscream when I bought him and he happened to be at a Kroger. I wish his swords weren't translucent plastic, but other than that he's really great.
The null rays folding against his back go a LONG way to making me appreciate him since the original design was such a goddamn shelf-hogger.

Which is your favorite Megs figure?

>>6058369
>Honestly, a panel misalignment would probably be solved by either messing with the tab, adding or removing mass to help it stay, or finding a way to soften the plastic a bit so you can bend it in shape and let it sit.

Well that's not really a very assuring solution. That's just saying "if you fix the problem then it will be fixed," like "just stop being sick and you'll feel better."

What is actually causing Bisks to not hold together? Is it a molding issue? Is something bent in packaging?

>>6058533
My favorite one i've owned so far has been the T30 one that becomes a stealth bomber. It's got some gap issues, but I love the fusion cannon railgun thing, the really good paint matching, and his weirdly endearing bar body make up for some of the shortcomings for me.

The WFC one. He's a deluxe, but a big deluxe so the size is just right. Shame he doesn't have any 5mm ports.

>>6058564
Trying to get that one is going to be challenge.
But yeah I was thinking about him since he looks so cool.

>>6058551
From what I can tell, it's due to the lowerclaw/carsides being angled in such a way that it pulls the car sides out. That an the bicep swivel just isn't sturdy enough to hold the arm in place during transformation.

Unless you can get the lower claw to bend inwards more, it's going to fight against the front car tabs.

Given that I also wanna get TRS edgy Prime too.
2 Primes vs 2 megs. A man can dream.

>>6058564
He's my collection's main Megatron, at least until I decide to bite the bullet on an expensive replacement. As-is though, he's a good Megs, and with the FoC seekers, Soundwave and Shockwave alongside him they make a good "bad guys everyone remembers" group.

>>6058551
>>6058585
Now we're getting somewhere.

So can you just bend the claws? What so you mean about the bicep swivels?

Forgive me.Where are the last knight memes!

>>6058617
No idea why it got pixelated tho.

>>6058617
Despite niggling QC problems on all of them, I'd say every TR toy out right now is great. Except Galvatron, and only because of that head.
Get Blur now if you haven't already, he might still be shelfwarming your local marts.

>>6058600
he was one of the few Armada molds covered in small details and had engineering that was more in depth then most of the line. The fact he has parts forming for his cannon mode that's doing it's best to be hidden was pretty cool too.

>>6058564
I wish he was just a little bigger. I've got my fingers crossed that the KO company that did the oversized WfC Prime will do him too.

>>6058617
Triggerhappy is the clear winner in wave 3

>>6058617
On Hardheads level? TriggerHappy and Blurr molds.
Good: Sentinel mold, Deception Beasts, Hot Rod, Rewind Mold.

Personal fave is Apha Trion right now, though Takara Blurr/ Brainstorm is a really fun bot too. Rewind/Rumble and Wheelie can't get in on th ehead swapping fun, but they're still good.

Scourge and Galvatron are real stinkers though. Scouge's ugly colors and wibbly nasty-looking head just bring him down. Galvatron is actually really decent but his cannon placement and awful head just drags everything down beyond salvation.

>>6058645
It's long-past the retail phase and kinda passing out the clearance phase.

>>6058645
Take this >>6058651 but add to the fact every team makes a set that needs to be completed. This isn't like older sets or TR where every bot is an individual. Each limb bot helps build a bigger G1 inspired bot. That's what is really fucking with cost

>>6058625
I never had Overload myself, but god I wanted him to complete my Jet Prime set.
>>6058617
If you can easily discern a second-run Skullcruncher from a first run one, he's pretty alright alongside the other beastformers.
Honestly, >>6058624 put it best; the only ones I'd say have a glaring flaw keeping me from enjoying them so far are Galvatron and maybe the scourge moldmates.

>>6058914

Pretty sure the correct answer is "Anything made from gold plastic", since it's hard to get worse than a toy that will literally disintegrate into shards, dust, and broken dreams within a year or two of release.

T30 Blitzwing isn't even a bad toy, it just got fucked up in the factory and they never fixed it so the shoulders plug in properly. If you fix it yourself, he's decent enough.

>>6058914
I really want to like that version of Blitzwing but he is a total mess. A prime example of how not to do a triple changer. I'll still hold onto my copy until pics of the TR version surface.

The face-swapping gimmick was completely unwarranted though.

>>6058918
>T30 Blitzwing isn't even a bad toy

>half the toy made of rubber
>doesn't peg together
>looks like shit in every mode
>head stuffed so full of paint that the gimmick doesn't work
>already broken when you buy it and has to be repaired right out of the box
>nearly impossible to fix without rendering it unable to transform

yeah sounds like a fine toy

>>6058926
>>head stuffed so full of paint that the gimmick doesn't work
What?
I could spin mine's head just fine. The issues involving shoulders not locking in make sense to be angry about, but head seems to function as intended.

>>6058922
The face swapping gimmick would have been fine if they'd bothered to make his head not look like a bobblehead and made it rotate the right way.

It was such a half assed idea for a reedun design since it was just a worse version of G1 Blitzwing with the Animated head gimmick. They should have either gone all in on G1/comics accuracy like the rest of that line, or done an actual decent combination of the two Blitzwing designs.

>>6058939
>works on my machine

>>6058939
The vast majority of people couldn't rotate the faces due to the yellow paint being globbed on. Without opening up the heads and scraping out excess paint most people couldn't rotate the faces.

Plus most people had to remove the springs under the head to keep it from forcing the jet nose open and tearing it. If you somehow got a perfect functioning one then that's good for you I guess, but your experience is far from the norm.

Some people drink poison, get lucky, and don't die, but you wouldn't say that poison is safe.

>>6058940
Despite bot-mode being pretty shit I had a lot of fun with his alt-modes. Gimped articulation aside I was really pissed off with his piddly little gun that barely fit in his hand. Like, cmon it's Blitzwing, he should come with a great-big-fuck-off gun. The sword was ok though , I'm just glad I didn't didn't pay much for him. Maybe I'll swap him for a 3P option after xmas.

>>6058944

Not that guy, but mine works as intended too, except for the shoulders.

Just because you have an issue doesn't mean every single figure is plagued with it.

>>6058950
Huh. Maybe the excess paint only happened with some production lines or the excess paint got scraped off. I definitely had the tolerance issues other than that with the nosecone being difficult to stay in place and locking parts. But at least he looks cool and is okay tier plane/tank, so isn't a complete wash. I'd definitely put my Legends Blackarachnia at worse because of the more goofy QC issues I had with mine and how the spider mode is wonky.

Gold plastic.

>>6058970
Yes. I have more problems with Legends Blackarachnia than with T30 Blitzwing since the nothing holds together is to the point Blackarachnia can't even stand up while Blitzwing can at least do the "I am zeUberbrick" thing. Additionally I heard that her plastic breaks down over time while Blitzwing is immortal.

I have never had a more profound sense of regret than when I first opened this guy up. In a entire line of wonky toys he was the bottom of the barrel for me.

>>6058978

Except it does. Did you transform the torso wrong or something? Half the toy is limbs so there's barely anything you could be fucking up

Also
>breaks down over time while Blitzwing is immortal

GPS not something that affects all gold plastic. It's a specific type of gold plastic that isn't used anymore. It's also funny that you hate BA because you think her plastic will break down, when Blitzwing is made out of fucking rubber, which will ALWAYS harden and crack in a few years.

Honestly the fact that you like T30 BW should have been proof that you were mentally deficient, but this just drives that point farther home.

>>6058982
>Terradive is suffering from GPS

No it doesn't. The trident BREAKS. GPS isn't breakage. It's when the plastic crumbles due. Energon Scorponok has load bearing gold plastic hinges that are incredibly prone to breakage too, but it's because they're thin and have pressure put on them.

Retards just assume gold plastic breaking = GPS. Do some fucking research and learn what GPS is before you make yourself look like even more of a retard.

You're right, I wouldn't want to lose face on an anonymous imageboard. Maybe I should make a habit of completely overreacting to people failing to make an incredibly specific distinction too; it is the new year after all.

>>6058995
GPS can lead to breakage
The crumbling is its doomed fate no mater what but the Randy video shows that it breaks under no pressure
It's why the original G2 Slingshot is bascialy stuck in whatever mode he is in because as little as the pressure to fold/expand his legs will make it break.

>>6059015

No you fucking mongoloid, it isn't "wear and tear." You are using a word incorrectly because you are too dumb to know what it means.

GPS is due to an issue with plasticizers and inclusions in the plastic causing it not to hold together. No pressure or stress is required to break it- it just crumbles naturally. You can identify GPS by the plastic crumbling into little pieces instead of breaking along stress lines.

Terradive, Wreck-Gar, and Scorponok breaks due to design issues. They just happen to be made of a gold plastic. Nothing on Black Arachnia is going to crumble or break.

You are fucking stupid.

The toy was fine till be put energy into squeezing it. It's not just an engineering thing and it doesn't just turn to dust, it becomes weak and brittle and leads to breaking much easier with pressure of any kind.

>Nothing on Black Arachnia is going to crumble or break
But it has, have you missed the reports both here and on the boards? She is having serious degrading issues already.

>You are fucking stupid.

>>6059044
I don't know man. something breaking over time sounds like wear and tear to me. Being made of gold plastic doesn't help either.

Anyhow maybe if you could take a second to calm the fuck down you might be able to see how most folks would find it difficult to make that distinction since they haven't devoted a significant potion of their life to it like you clearly have.

But hey man, it's fine, I get it. This is how you vent, screaming at little blue boxes on your monitor because they don't understand plastic like you do.

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gold_Plastic_Syndrome

>Gold Plastic Syndrome(commonly shorthanded toGPS) is fandom terminology used to describe the phenomenon of a toy'splastic decomposing and becoming brittle to the point of shattering or crumbling under minimal-stress conditions. In the most extreme cases, toys have been reported to spontaneously crumble to small bits without any applied force at all, even if they're fresh out of theirunopened package.

>This breakage is different from the relatively more common stress-fracture type of plastic breakage that can occur in someTransformers toys; while normal stress fractures are universally heralded by stress marks on the toy, GPS breakage doesn't have that sign; it simply crumbles to pieces.

Apart from the claw, he's not that terrible.
Pic related is far worse, it looks like it was engineered by whatever third-worlders designed the TF crossovers.

>>6059093
Don't be silly, that's yellow not gold.

If it was gold it would have crumbled into little tiny pieces.

>>6059093
GPS isn't a verb for breaking. However depending on how impact happen certain parts of plastic could have eroded to where it will crumble or in layman's terms, break with little or no pressure.

>>6059094
That's breakage on the tip of a spring loaded gimmick. If the guy retracted the line and let the claw swing around the impact could have chipped the edge of the plastic.

The fact that there have been zero other reports of that is telling.

>>6059097

HFTD Ironhide or Jungle Ironhide for,wel, Ironhide.
ROTF Sideswipe is IMO much better than DOTM, especially if you put the car kibble on the feet backwards when transforming it which fixes stability issues completely. Sidearm Sideswipe looks better but has no blades so you might want to get some from Shape ways for him. Depends on how much you want to spend on him.
Battle Blades Bumblebee is the other /toy/-approved Bumblebee, and it just looks better IMO.
07 Ratchet or DOTM are the best figures of him. ROTF Ratchet tried to be cool with its gimmick but it just sucks.
Best Jazz is the Human Alliance one but it will kill your scale and 07 Jazz is just ugly.
Takara made a Dino out of the Sideways mold and a movie Wheeljack from the Que mold, it's your call if you want screen accuracy or a better looking toy for Wheeljack/Que.
The wreckers will be expensive as fuck to complete since Leadfoot is rare. Roadbuster is crap.
No idea if you want the twins, they have nice toys but they are the fucking twins.
For AOE, I'd wait for TLK before settling with something and meanwhile check third parties for Optimus and Hound. HasTak Evasion OP is pretty good, regardless.

I'd suggest

1. Human Alliance scale: Get Bee, Jazz, Leader class Ironhide with 3P arm cannons, Buster Optimus Prime, Voyager Ratchet.

2. Regular scale (Original Trilogy)): Leader Buster Optimus Prime with 3P trailer, DOTM Voyager Ironide or ROTF Recon Ironhide, Voyager Ratchet or Deluxe Ratchet depending on your preference of scale vs articulation, Deluxe class Jazz (Battle Damaged to get the movie-accurate blaster), ROTF Deluxe Skids and Mudflap, AoE Takara Jolt, Human Alliance Arcee, Chromia and Elita (They're packed with HA Skids and Mudflap, finding them as 2nd hand sells is pretty hard nowadays), DOTM Takara Wheeljack (Hard to come by, rereleased in AoE Takara line as G1 retool and repaint), DOTM Takara Leadfoot(Rare as fuck, you might as well just wait for a rerelease), DOTM Deluxe Roadbuster and Topspin.

For the Decepticons, TF1 Leader Class Megatron, ROTF Leader Class Starscream (with 3P jetpack and saw), TF1/TF3 asia premium Leader Class Brawl, Deluxe Bonecrusher, Leader Class Sentinel Prime.

>>6059209
Tried your suggestion, the grey on the sides is a lot darker and flat on Emissary and his black is very flat compared to Astro's gloss, solid idea however because the grey on the mouthplate was almost 1 for 1 of Astrotrain's body.

Keep the ideas coming

>>6059226
Not all that familiar with returns and what not myself but as >>6059231 pointed out Customer service seems to not watch what they are taking back and her logic was it was broken anyway. Honestly I think she did it because she was pissed off it was broke out of the box because I'm still not sure what she is going to do with a spare sticker sheet or his red leg cannons.

>>6059241
What exactly broke? I haven't heard about an arm issue.

>or his red leg cannons.

She's going for the quad cannon look. Yes, you can totally do that.

>>6059226
Unless you make a habit out of obviously tampering with products just to return them afterwards, they don't give two shits.

Used toys and shit like this hardly ever sells so most returns and exchanges are regarded as an acceptable loss to keep a customer loyal and happy with a store in the event of an legitimate incident.

>>6059244
The arm you attach (left?) isn't made the same way as the other arm and the gear inside the bicep area of the arm can break due to stress of hanging (or at least that's the theory).
People thought at first it was just SDCC that suffered this because first reports were just him, however people are discovering all 3 can be at risk for it.

>>6059226
If it's broken it might just get return to sender (Hasbro/Takara) and piled up till they either join a landfill or get destroyed.

>>6059259
It's probably a factory error. It probably affects both arms, since the gear bits, and the bit that goes around the gear is identical on both versions.

I'm guessing they screw the gear too tight and snap it. Also, I'd expect more problems with the clip on piece on the left arm, since that's the thing that would normally break.

>>6059259
What the hell is with Hasbro's/Takara's QC?

>>6059267

New factories with little experience.

>>6059267

Has anyone taken a pic of the broken piece? It might help us understand if it broke due to human error, or if the piece broke due to stress.

>>6059287
It doesn't completely break off. It just strips the gear and makes it really

Voyager Tanktron is the best.

They're re-releasing it in TF5 with silver paint.

>>6059458
I liked the way the 1's arms combined into his cannon.
triple-changer knifejet/crabtank with that feature?

So did anyone here actually buy Bunny-ears Prime?

>>6059473
TF1 Leader Prime sucked though.

You know what Leader restored my faith in the movie line? Fucking Leader Class Brawl. One of my favorite Tanks/Robots ever.

>>6059477
I bought the original Leader, so no. But I did hold off on knifejet until premium redeco.

I had already picked up Best Buy knifejet too, so I figured I'd make them a pair.

>>6059477
I did, because I didn't get the first one. Still sucked.

>>6059474
Is this true? I love that mold. I hope Last Knight Megs gets a good figure.

>>6059479
Couldn't make him stand straight but damn was he made of a child's fantasy war machine.

I'll expect TF5 Megs to be good but with bland gray plastic.

So I'll probably wait out til Takara shells out a painted one.

>>6059484
I just had him either hunched over like a madman, guns bristling, or standing up super straight with a hand tucked behind his back like a gentlemen (because of his stache).

Those articulated fingers, too...

So does ANYONE actually have a picture of the beast mode of this fucker? i'm trying to figure out how it would work in my head, and I can't remotely imagine it.. the balljoints wouldnt allow the two halves of the head to connect
there's an archived thread mentioning it (and taunting me by mentioning the fact that there are no images of it besides 'this one') but the damned images aren't archived.

>>6059709
The head would connect if the balljoints swivel to the back.

>>6059723
hmmm do you think they'd have swiveling balljoints on a toy this primitive and simple? it's gotta be something like that though

So the toys for the new movie should come out well before the movie itself, right?

What are the chances of some updated dinobots? I only have Strafe from AOE.

>>6059728

It's going to be a fucking crime if those shitty Bayformer Dinobot's get updates before we get fucking CHUG ones.

>>6059728
it's really sad, that movie was the moment they started undoing decades of engineering progress to go back to simplisticness, and strafe with his big giant doofy legs was a prime example.. awesome toy otherwise though. just looking at anything from that line gives you a feeling like watching a season 8 or 9 simpsons episode.. beginning of the end.

>>6059728
We'll probably see most of the movie stuff at Toy Fair, and things will come out at the end of April most likely.

>>6059735
There are lots of simple engineering in TR too though. Hot Rod basically has the same complexity as Wheelie.

I think AOE Strafe is a better two-headed dragon toy than TR Twinferno. I like the look of Scorn but wouldn't mind seeing if they'd make a new one.

>>6059739
TR?

>>6059739
ah, Titans Return
well that's my point. AoE was the beginning of that. Since then everything made, aside from the collectors' stuff, has been severely retrograde in terms of the development we saw over Beast Wars, Animated, Prime, and the first three movies

>>6059742

Would you really want intricate transformations when they can't even QC anything right at the moment?

>>6058638
>Plus he can be Fortress Maximus' head.
come again? Does he actually port in?

>>6059745
i wasn't aware of that, but I have to assume the two are related
it's sad too because oil prices went back down, I was hoping the lower overhead would get things back on track, but no dice.. just like how digital animation didnt solve any of the "cant make that show, it's too expensive" issues

My favorite figure is the Armada leader from last year. It hits me in the nostalgia, as I always wanted him as a kid but never got him. I only had some minicons during that time, my parents never really wanted me getting into Transformers. Boy did that work out for them.

As for what I think is the best Megatron figure though not my favorite? Dark of the Moon voyager. I think he's got a great transformation, great articulation, and barely any kibble.

>>6058638
>want to make 'thighbrows' joke

I would like to see this basic transformation scheme used to make a cicada or other hemiptera

That is simply because any savings are never passed on to the consumer or used to improve products, they're used to bring the upper echelon within a company more money or to make their earnings look better for stock jockeys.

Capitalism has it's ups and downs.

Unfortunately we're now in an era where protests don't work and not buying things doesn't send a message to change practices, it just causes them to cancel whole lines because "muh profets".

>>6059769
Burgers can't complain too much since we've gotten the first 3 waves of TR deluxes all for under 10 dollars each.

>>6059774
this is the opposite of capitalism. executives are basically monarchy. the capitalist process would depose them instantly.

Any government befalls that. No system can truly be good or fair. Wealth will always be the deciding factor, control will always be those running the show and for every good leader or lord you would have you will be cursed with dozens that will feed their self interest. However that is not far from anyone really. How many here leech off of government or family to stay alive and buy there wants rather than sacrifice pleasures so one doesn't burden them? Who here would give till they only have their needs met and nothing more to help those without year after year? We care of ourselves far more than anything else so why do we take shock those with more power than us do the same? They are just us with different means.

Imagine my complete and utter disappointment when I finally saw him shoot the thing in the show. And then in the next Armada episode I caught he fucking died. Years later I would find out that everyone hated him because he had one of the worst toys in the line.

I've always wondered why people hate this guy. Sure, the robot mode isn't great but it's passable. The Beast Mode however... Now I know why he's so reviled.

Got myself the new Voy and Prime and will be getting six shot.

Just wondering, should I remove the horrible stickers for all three figures?

Some of the stickers are applied on top of molded detail or curved surfaces. Even if you don't remove them, they'll fall off eventually.

>>6059852

Everyone should peel them off and send them in a letter to Hasbro.

This really stimulates my neuron.
I think I am going to do this.

Is this the address?
Hasbro Headquarters P.O. Box 1059 Pawtucket, RI 02861

I am going to peel the stickers off, put them in a envelope with a letter that says:

It's 2016, are you serious?

I don't hate stickers that much.

It's just that there are good ways to do stickers like

>letting the buyer apply the stickers themselves.

The foil stickers in TR breaks all these rules.
