>>6076108
Wow. And i thought tfw's radicon forums are echo chambers.
>>6076115
The entirety of TFW is an echo chamber. The same guy in that pic got banned on there for saying he didn't like Classics Prime in a mildly provocative manner.
All in all TF forums are shit, no point in using them other than TFW for news. /tfg/ may be shitposter central but at least discussion is marginally possible.

He was asking for it by provoking the putz known as the SouthtownKid.

Hey, I got banned for addressing one of their resident asshats as WalkyTalky. Said he ruined Shortpacked by not taking a break when he ran out of relevant things to say about toys. After the banning, the ass-blasted burrito-gobbling grifter admin sent me an e-mail saying what a coward I was. You know, for speaking up in a hostile environment.
>>6076116
I feel like TFW is such a crowded place that you just get lost unless a moderator notices you and decides to play games.
Like they threw the book at this one guy selling water-slide decals for Exhaust without explanation. But they let Sebastian@88MPH rip off hundreds of users, artists included, for $80 each on that art book that he never delivered and wiped away any criticism of him. Of course, the real reason is that he refunded the couple of moderators he fleeced and from that point on they didn't view it as their problem anymore.
>>6076127
No, he's a typical TFWer in that he thinks his is the only opinion that matters. Then he gets into pissing contests when someone calls him out on it.

You guys just suck at subtlety. You can troll people on Allspark all the time, so long as you do small, subtle jabs that chip away at their reputation and dignity. That australian dyke has been doing it for years. People like Smitty and Fortress Ironhold are treated like targets by the whole community, especially by power tripping mods like Spectre.

>>6076283
I admit with my own custom models mine are glossy.
But that thing is so gummed up with paint the panel lines are drowning in it, did he slop enough paint until the finish was smooth or did he leave each section under a spray can for 10mins?
That's fucking disgusting and I'm a shit modeler
>>6076284

I just have to keep reminding myself that every wave released is one wave closer to the Seacons and Predaking.

What can go wrong, if he's over sized like devastator it won't be the worst fate in the world
>>6076303
It'd be close enough for repaint purposes, after all they managed it with Jiaxus so I don't know why it wouldn't work.
>>6076307
I wouldn't collect them or anything, but I like it.

>>6076317
>if he's over sized like devastator
That's literally what I'm worried will go wrong.
>>6076319
Same. I wouldn't drop cash for it but it's passable.
>>6076325
If it looks good and is functional I'd be fine, if he's like cw menasor with wonky proportions I'd be pissed regardless of size.
Would you rather an OC take at cw gestalt scale or a predaking that looked like his g1 model but at a bigger size?
I'd be even happier if he was a smidge taller than a cw gestalt but slightly shorter than devastator but that's my kink
>>6076283
looks like milk chocolate.
What is the worst custom so far? I think the Frenzy and Rumble are the worst.
>>6076330
>Would you rather an OC take at cw gestalt scale
This would be much more preferable but knowing Hasbro it'll be another oversized underengineered hunk of trash.

You're being too lenient to yourself.
I'm actually a little proud of the engineering that went into this one. If I can find all the pieces again I might make a cleaner version.
Ultra Magnus that turns into a crazy cybertronian artillery train.
I also made him some power armor out of that Hulk tank that can clip to in alt mode and in bot mode. Not sure if I have any pictures of that.
>>6076432

>>6076421
Actually uh, it was the takara one.

The fact that he thought the disproportion was fine is why this is so bad.

>>6076322
wew
>>6076527
The head being off is precisely why it's awful. Proportion matter as much as paintwork.
It's pretty obvious this is yours anyway, and we're going to continue to laugh at you.
>>6076543
So do I, but that thing's hardly worth calling a Devastator so much as it is just trash.
>>6076535
His response. Kek.
>>6076554
That set really only has Long Haul working against it, and if you're using the Hasbro versions of the molds. The hollow limbs suck but the sculpting is nice.
>>6076556
Fuck, forgot my picture. That's what happens when I forget to take out all of my personal info from the image.
>>6076558
The rest of the figures also have the engineering of legends class figures and the overall combiner has gawky proportions. I wonder why you're conveniently leaving that out.
>>6076561
I haven't handled the figures so I don't know anything honestly about their engineering.
>>6076566
Then why are you commenting on this?
CW/UW Devastator is objectively trash. No amount of under or oversizing it will change this verdict.
>>6076561
>>6076567
Because I want a decently sculpted Devastator to go with my other combiners. I clearly stated that originally here >>6076543, illiterate.
And really, As long as they're not one step changers or anything like that, I'm not going to get autistic about their engineering like some faggy snob.
>>6076568
>a decently sculpted Devastator to go with my other combiners.
That's not what CW Devastator is, even if you undersize him tremendously.
3P options exist and are much, much better you know.

Hah, that's funny.
>>6076594
I didn't intend for that post to be humorous but certainly humor is subjective.
>>6076570
The only 3P option for a CW Devastator is Giant, and they don't offer good, G1-y sculpting like the stupid big Hasbro does.
>>6076560
kek this guy keeps coming
>>6076570
CW Devastator sucks in a lot of ways, but sculpting isn't one of them. Long Haul is a total wash, but the rest of them have pretty good, accurately sculpted head and torsos. It's the limbs where they start to go really shitty, hollow and derpy looking.
>>6076567
>CW/UW Devastator is objectively trash.
I wish you fucking dorks didn't believe "objectively" is a magic word that makes your opinion right.
>>6076603
This is an acceptable criticism of the exact figure I was referring to.
If you want a true "G1 accurate" Devastator then that waste of oil is certainly your only option.
>>6076611
Sculptwise it is mediocre compared to other things we've gotten from Hasbro. Stop praising it like the second coming of christ.
>>6076615
I was correct with or without the use of that word.

>>6076618
>a true "G1 accurate" Devastator
>Mixmaster points the wrong damn way
>>6076549
Considering the only thing wrong is the head is slightly too big, you're really going overboard calling it awful. That is literally the only issue. Everything else is just fine and it's not even way too big. Its big, but not like stewie Griffin huge. Calm yourself there.
>>6076733
>slightly too big
>slightly
holy fuck you people have shit taste. no wonder most of the pics in this thread are cheapo hasbro toys.
>>6076733
Yeah, I clearly stated that the head being too big is exactly what's wrong with it. Clearly nothing else was done to the figure so of course any criticism is going to only be about the head.
And no, the head is not "slightly" too big. Slightly too big would like 10-15% bigger. That head is twice as big as it should be. And thus, it's awful. The oversized, 2x size head is awful, it's a shit idea and even if the head was scaled down correctly, it's not even a good looking Galvatron head. It's probably the second worse looking modern Galvatron head, not counting the movie one because that's another discussion.
Stop defending this shitty custom. You make it seem like it's yours.
>>6076618
I didn't say I wanted a "true G1 accurate" Devastator. I said I wanted something to go head to head with the other combiners it was released alongside of. You know, the other combiners which also weren't 100% "true G1 accurate"? My only mention of G1 accuracy was because Hasbro's has good, accurate sculpting, along with shitty hollow engineering, compared to the 3P releases, of which only Giant is viable (since the others suffer from the same "way too big" issue), in which it's a pretty good looking Devastator and Constructicons but the heads don't really inspire the Constructicons. I'll probably end up with Giant, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't take a scaled down Takara version of Devastator for the cartoon heads and basic designs.
>>6076636
bro u got me there
>>6076758
You just have such a small scale for awful. There are plenty of "awful" customs in here that are awful for many reasons. This one has one problem that only affects a percentage of its appearance. That's like saying a scatch on your arm is awful when a broken bone stabbing through your elbow is actually awful. Im not saying it's good. I'm saying your definition of awful is on an odd scale.
>>6076775
So? It's an awful idea that doesn't work because the head is twice as big as it should be.
Bad ideas are also subject to being awful, not just the execution of them.
>>6076786
How is it an awful idea? There would be no issue if the head was proportionate. It seems the guy had an idea that they didn't think would look so odd once done and just said fuck it and went through with it.
So we're apparently getting Sureshot, Crosshairs, and Pointblank.

Okay, between Classics Rodimus, Titanium Rodimus Prime and TR Hot Rod, which is the best of the three?
>>6076941
D) none of the above.
>>6076941
MP Hot Rod
>>6076941
I like the look of the classics the most but TR has superior articulation
>>6076941
Out of those, Classics. Titanium is shit and the TR deluxe is just a poor man's MP. Classics may be a little dated, but it turns into a Dome Zero.
>>6076941
TR's articulation actually works but the proportions are all weird, the car mode looks fat, and the headmaster is awful.
Still better than Classics. I have no fucking idea why people like Classics so much, all the line's figures are obsolete shit.
>>6076904

Because Hasbro keeps failing to outdo most of them and some Uni 2.0 figures after 10 years.
>CW OP is shit

>nobody likes Generations car Bumblebee and the TR legends looks kinda bad

Cuck rod
>>6076981
Man, it feels nice not being in any hurry to finish a line up in any specific aesthetic in my collection or something silly like that. My current OP is the First Edition and I'm just perfectly fine with it.
It's still unbelievable they haven't made a single normal G1-style voyager Optimus after Classics, though.
>>6076991
The TR can pull it off. The G2 asthetic is there, but you can hide it and make him look like a normal Opitmus.
>>6076950
>all the line's figures are obsolete shit.
nope
Classics Astrotrain is better than every Astrotrain toy since
Classics Optimus is better than every Optimus toy since
Classics Bumblebee is better than every Bumblebee toy since
Classics Mirage is better than every Mirage toy since
Classics Seekers are necessary because they're the only fucking mold where they actually did all six of the main ones
the only arguable one is Megatron and even that one the Henkei is still my favorite because it isn't oversized like the Leader class toy or full of drab grey plastic and tacky stickers like the TR toy.
>>6076993
It bothers me a little that its an obvious pre-tool of Octane and not a proper voyager Optimus, though not really since I'm still only getting it as Octane.
It works at least.
>>6077000
>Classics Astrotrain is better than every Astrotrain toy since
lol no
>Classics Optimus is better than every Optimus toy since
lmao no
>Classics Bumblebee is better than every Bumblebee toy since
Maybe. Bumblebee has like, what?, three different legends versions? And all are decent options for Bumblebee.
Classics Bumblebee is not even as articulated as T30 Bumblebee.
>Classics Mirage is better than every Mirage toy since
Maybe it is a better toy but the TR version is still closer to the proportions and build of the original look of Mirage, if that's what you care about.
>Classics Seekers are necessary because they're the only fucking mold where they actually did all six of the main ones
Doesn't take away from it being a shit mold that barely works as an action figure.
>the only arguable one is Megatron and even that one the Henkei is still my favorite because it isn't oversized like the Leader class toy or full of drab grey plastic and tacky stickers like the TR toy.
dem wings tho

>It's still unbelievable they haven't made a single normal G1-style voyager Optimus after Classics, though.
The fact that for the longest time, getting a G1 classics style Megatron, Starscream, Optimus, etc. was nearly impossible unless you got the first classics or Henkei releases was downright frustrating. basically if you started collecting after 2007 you where shit out of luck.
Customs thread is kill and gunpla thread won't care.
Have any of you guys successfully repainted a transformer before? I want to repaint one for the first time but there's a shitton of contradicting tutprials out there.
>>6077036
Never thin you'r'e paints
>>6077039
No, no, guy. I'm still thinning my paint.
>>6077042
Why won't you listen to meeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>6077036
Never, never use ass-r-tone.
>>6077036
I doubt you'll find help here. Generally a group that likes ribbing bad customs rarely do custom work themselves.
>>6077053
Yeah. I guess a chef isn't necessary to tell a burnt dish from a properly cooked one after all.
Some retard bought 20 gnaws and broke like 8 of them trying to make a gnaw combiner and now just glued all the broken bots together into a big mess and is calling it the zombie gnaw hive mind or whatever.
700 dollars for 20 broken and weathered titans return gnaws.
>>6077132
Goddammit
>>6077036
I wouldn't do it. Protip on most paints: They're not made to withstand handling. The stuff they use in factories is usually very different from consumer paints, thats why it can usually stand up to some play. And transformers, well, paint doesn't mesh well with the idea of moving parts that frequently have to scrape against one another.
You'll also need to learn how to completely dissemble figures to paint them properly, without potentially getting paint in the wrong places, or making tabs and shit too thick.
And to paint properly, you need a decent layer of base coat, and then multiple very thin layers of actual paint, followed by some kind of topcoat.
Source: I painted mini's.
>Tfw you spend 95 on ginrai because you were on/off about preordering earlier.
>>6077137
I-i already disassembled the figure I was using as a base so, I either throw it away or just reassemble it if I end up not repainting it.

Nope, not going for it, pics or it didn't happen.
What was the final veredict on AOE voyager Grimlock? I saw what could be an oversized KO a while ago and thought it could be a cool figure to get.
>>6077203
>tfw gnaw won't be sold on retail at your country but will be sold and price-gouged by scalpers
>>6076628
is this voyager?
i bet if it's leader sized it can fold the backapack into nothing like ROTF leader
>>6077250
Voyager, we'll probably get the V2 (v3) of the leader at toy fair.
>>6077137
> They're not made to withstand handling. The stuff they use in factories is usually very different from consumer paints
This
Hasbro used to use paint that is nearly indestructible on their star wars figure.
You literally cant scrap the paint off short of using a razor or sandpaper to blast through the paint and came tothe base plastic.
I am pretty sure the industrial paints are not paint at all but some kind of colored rubber plastic.
Couldn't resist digging this one out.
That said... I really wish customizers would stop thinking that dry-brushing is the height or customizing. It's not "edgy" or realistic, and 9 times out of 10, the end result looks like it was shit on by a bunch of diarrhetic pigeons
>>6077273
Washes on the other hand are liquid talent
>>6076197
The feet look like they are saying please senpai as he penetrates them with his feet
To anyone here that owns Twinferno- ih dragon mode, can the heads fold backwards to become some kinda backpack? I could see the mold making a convincing fangry
>>6077307
Not really. The dragon heads are pretty limited, flipping them like that would only leave bumps at the top, and they don't really sit well on the back.
For Fangry to work, they'd have to retool the shoulders to plug in different in beast mode so the hands would end up at the back, the head would just need to be similar to Mindwipe's beast head, but with enough clearance so the hands can go through a gab below the head.
>>6076941
TR's the most fun with good articulation and 5mm ports. The lanky arms aren't that obvious in non-neutral poses.
>>6076981
Holy shit not this shitposter again
>>6076941
Of the three, Titanium Rodimus Prime is the only Rodimus Prime
>>6077346
I wonder if we're getting a Rodimus anytime soon.
>>6077265
It's some kind of enamel paint just that the solvent is extremely toxic. It becomes extra hard and loses its toxicity when it cures.
>>6076981
CW Megatron is fine. CW Mirage is fine as well, though I can see why some might prefer the Classics version.
>>6077324
Dang. Guess some kitbashing is in order then whenever I can find Twinferno.
Could the g1 fangry beast head work on that mold or is it too out of proportion?
>>6077342
I don't think I'm your boogeyman, anon.
>>6077346
>>6077359
If you're desperate for Rodimus Prime, might as well get the recently released Not-Transformer Rodimus Prime.
>>6076573
Speaking of Blackjack, will we ever see the new characters from CW again?
Rook in particular was pretty popular.
>>6077513
>FP writes better homo romance than IDW
>FP writes better hetero romance than IDW
really cranks up the ol' cortex
>>6077513
Blackjack was an og micromaster, not a CW character, and no we'll probably never see the CW guys again
>>6077013
The only one I have to disagree with is Astrotrain, the TR one is a piece of shit compared to the classics mold. I do prefer the Henkei or Hasbro Asia versions paint job.
>>6077508
Go away, you've shit up enough threads with your Classics shilling.
>>6077513
I really liked all the CW OCs. They allowed each combiner to have 4 unique limbs. But of course geewun crybabies had to whine until the modern toys resemble their prehistoric bricks again.
>>6077534
How? Like what is so worse? I like the classics mold, but neither is really better than the other.
>>6077551
What are you on about?
There were only 3 CW OCs (Alpha Bravo, Rook, Offroad) and they are all pretty well liked.
I got a Bruticus for 35 dollars at Ross. For whatever reason we get in cheap third party stuff for every off-brand thing we get. Did I do good?
I might just sell it for a regular price on ebay, I haven't opened it or anything, never been the biggest fan. But I did love the original movie and cartoon and this thing has something called "shockwave" which looks sort of like a different version of soundwave.
I wish I had the original megatron, that thing was cool and probably the only transformer I would actually like to own.
>>6077572
What Bruticus? G2? Standard CW?
>>6077572
>this thing has something called "shockwave" which looks sort of like a different version of soundwave

>>6077595
I don't think you understand why everyone is mocking/scorning/scoffing at you.
Shockwave has been a character since the first episode of G1. You're acting like he's an OC who was just introduced this year or something.
Furthermore that image has been circulating for years. It's not new or anything.
>>6077598

Oh my god. You're actually falling for this? The guy is obviously trying to be funny at this point.
>>6077604
I'm not reading all of that
>>6077605
I think a prerequisite for the word "funny" is that it has to be humorous.
>>6077607
But you're not doing that. He knows who shockwave is. Stop falling for the obvious bait. Holy shit.
>>6077607
That's a lot of work being asked of me, coming from a guy who's full of shit
Anyway, how much can I make off of this ""shockwave"" character, his colours and posability is garbage and his alt mode makes no sense
>>6077609
>trying to be funny
>trying to be

>trying

And my implication was that he was trying and failing.
Learn to read, thanks.
>>6077617
There's like fifty purple characters with one eyes, are all of them shockwave too? Must be nice having so many shockwave friends loser
so how much can i sell this crap figure for on ebay?
>>6077619
Which that point was already made.
>>6077620
>There's like fifty purple characters with one eyes
Prove it
>>6077625
...that's not proof
Show me how there are 50 different purple guys with one eye.
>>6077629
Sort of like this except with purple and one eyes
And you call you're self a G1 fan ha ha
>>6077631
Please post explicit and sourced proof that there are indeed 50 purple guys with one eye. Implications will not do.
>>6077633
I'm sure a lot of other things will not do, namely you doing sex
Anyway how much dollars can I sell this piece of shit figure for, any takers? $10?? $5???
>>6077637
Where's my proof, anon-kun?
>>6077640
You ain't getting it baka
>>6077637

b-b-but anon-chan, how else will I see your 50 purple cyclopses?
>>6077578
>stopped paying attention to thread for about two hours
>all these replies
Oh, my bad guys, it's been ages since I saw the original cartoon, I think the last time I saw it was when I was six or seven, I just recall enjoying it. Shockwave was also in it? I only remember a few of them, mostly just the named ones.
And it's a Combiner wars one, to answer the question.
Someone else seems to have started to play pretend in the thread, as well. I wouldn't say I'm normie, I just haven't ever paid attention to transformers since then, saw this thing at work for 35 dollars and noticed it had six transformers in it and went "well that's a pretty good deal, I think, might as well get it".
>>6077560
He means that Superion and Menasor got to have 4 different molds for their limbs because of the OCs.
The rest already had that from the beginning.
>>6077646
Yeah but there are 2 CW Brutici. One is in the standard colors and one is in the flourescent colors. Which one do you have?
Just post pics so we can see.
>>6077644
Give me a sealed copy of the best figure of G1 Megatron, the masterpiece one
N-not as if I even wanted it to begin with, b-baka
>>6077656
W-which masterpiece one?
Gomenasai anon-chan, I can't give you your Megatron unless you tell me which one.
>>6077649
Kay.
I'm assuming this is the Flourescent one? Or is standard already kind of crazy colors?
>>6077664
Yup, that's the flourescent one aka the G2 one.
>>6077666
What's the standard like? Militaryish colors?
I don't know anything about transformers, I've always been much more into gundam and gunpla.
>>6077662
Idk it's up to you boo
w/e you think is good
Just something from the original cartoon instead of made-up literal whos like shock wave
>>6077667
Basically, yeah.
Although there are some pretty unrealistic colors there like a brown jet plane/space shuttle. Light grey copter may be a bit off too depending on who you ask.
Oh, also, I don't know who the other person is, so I took a screenshot. Is this something anyone here is interested in? Like I said, I don't know anything about transformers, other than the bay movies are obviously terrible. First one gave me a headache with the constantly rotating camera, I think every scene the camera was spinning around something for some reason.
>>6077673
Oh, huh, normally I like the more plain colors, but the gold leg and brown jet plane really don't look all that great.Would've been cool if it was all an acid-washed blue or just standard military green.
>>6077676
>gold leg
It's more dark yellow, the stock photo makes it look a bit off.
Although I'm pretty sure Swindle being the fucking jew he is wouldn't mind being gold.
>>6077674
The fact that you can find it at Ross, a clear out store, means that it's not a particularly popular set.
You can only flip it to people as clueless as you about transformers OR wait a few years to sell it when they are no longer in retail circulation.
>>6077680
Huh, good point. I was more asking if someone here was interested, if I find certain things online or in hobby stores in regards to other toys or model kits I generally ask in the general thread if it's something someone's looking for before either leaving without buying or possibly just keeping for myself.
>>6077678
Kek. I like Brawl, Shockwave and Blast off out of this box, at least in these colors, they look a lot better.
>>6076505

>Stop posting in the thread designed to make me cringe
>>6077699
We're supposed to be laughing at the shitty customs not cringing at them.
Well, mostly laughing with a bit of cringe.
I didn't know action bases fit the stand hole too. How nice.
>>6077717
Yeah the stand hole is 3mm diameter, which is what Bandai uses for all their stands (for figures and plamo)
Some don't exactly fit though (especially those holes that are painted over) so be careful not to hamhand them in.
>>6077718
Thanks for the advice. I'll be careful. Still, it's very nice of Hasbro to do something like this, even though they don't sell stands or other add-ons. Hell, they could've sold better combiner feet, like third parties do, and everyone would've bought them.
>>6077729
>Hell, they could've sold better combiner feet, like third parties do, and everyone would've bought them.
Sorry buddy, they couldn't have. It's a super limited market and not worth their time. Retailers like WalMart control what sorts of things Hasbro ends up making, and they never would have shelved upgrade kits.
>>6077631
>"Thunderbox"
>Not "Shitstorm"
You had one job.
>>6077760
Need to make it kid friendly anon :)
thats why it references kids shows like jojo
>>6077742
I didn't know retailers had so much power. Couldn't Hasbro do a low-print run and sell it through their website, just to test the waters?
>>6077770
That's what they did with Slingshot and Wildrider. Demand ended up being ridiculously high and there wasn't nearly enough to go around.
They learnt from that and released Groove as a mass release, and now he's shelfwarming in every spot he appears in.
>>6077771
It's not quite what they did, and of course keep in mind those molds already existed.
>>6077770
Infamously WalMart backed out at the last minute on the Dark Energon or whatever the fuck Prime exclusives that BBTS still has in stock. Hasbro had already made them and then strong armed BBTS into taking them sight unseen. Basically said hey want an exclusive? Sign up to buy this many, we're not going to tell you what they are. I've heard a big part of why fortmax is showing up in Ross stores now is because WalMart refused to shelve him in-store and sent their unsold stock back to Hasbro.
