It's from the lyrics of some song, one retard would say it and then say something relevant to the thread.

>>6336900
it's a reply to when people exclaim "Jesus!" as a sign of shock or digust. Christians are offended that the lord's name be taketh in vain this way, so they casually ask for jesus to be taken off the dashboard(off the table), out of the conversation. So he needn't be a part of your angry outburst.

It's still weird that they decided to go full detail on that rectangle though.

That's what almost all of the movie 5 figures I've seen so far do. They're Cybertron Thunderblast with different vehicle shells.

Nope.
But it looks good in both modes.
Extra flaps give the rear of the truck cab a solid wall that hides the robot parts inside.
In both modes you won't think that it transforms.

>>6337000
Well, I like Evasion OP as a whole, I'm just mildly bothered by that chest. M-01 is cool, but he's also too big for the scale that I like to pretend my figures have.

>>6337002
Geewunners are cancer, but that anon wasn't trying to knock on Bayformers.

>>6337005
Theres also an M-01 with weathered paint. Looks like a goddamn scale model for a diorama.

>>6336930
only if you are good at repaint, because he is very dull looking without any additional paint. (especially in vehicle mode)

he have a very nice sculpt tho (minus all the kibbles), almost as accurate as his looks like in screen. As a note we rarely get a Voyager size movie OP toy that as accurate as this, Voyager HFTD ROTF OP come close if not for his tiny feets and thin arms.

Is this line any good? It's pretty cheap and looks decent.

This voyager is AWESOME. It manage to integrate the shell even more neatly than the leader and it's pretty fun to transform.

At full price, it too much. Especially since those TLK toys are 25% more expensive. I say wait for a sale to at least pay it at the previous full price.

When I say it at 30$CAN instead of 40$CAN, I took my chance and I did not regret it. It look pretty boss next to the HFTD Battle Blades Optimus.

Anyone is not too much of a hipster to appreciate the 1step or 3steps Transformers?

I recently bought Turbo changer Optimus on sale for two reasons. To try out the mold and practice painting.

That toy is pretty nice and the truck cab dosent stick out too much from the back. The mask gimmick is silly, but eh, it's a thing. The overall sculpt is pretty awesome but it's a shame that almost NOTHING is painted. Especially for the regular 30$CAN asking price.

Anyway, have a few pics of what I did. Pretty basic stuff.

Barricade is alright. He's a fun figure to mess with in robot mode with all of his accessories, and his car mode looks nice. Most of the car mode just goes on his back though, and if you're not a fan of shellforming that will bother you.

Still, he looks good from the front and he has good articulation.

Just let the gun rest like so before closing off the roof. It don't even rattle inside.

>>6337050
It's good that it distributes the shell better across his body, and he does have a neat transformation, but I wouldn't call him awesome.

The kibble on his legs prevents a fuller range of movement, and he's not equipped to pose well with the weapons he has.

I'm impressed that they managed to design a better toy for the Knight design, but at most it's good.

Also I don't understand why you have FE Prime on display.

>>6337066
No. It varies, especially considering that a lot of the toys in the first two waves are derived from figures released in 2014.

I hear that Deluxe Berserker, the Decepticon SUV, is a decent figure with a terribly finicky vehicle shell. Bumblebee is just the Age of Extinction toy with inferior paint. The Deluxe Dinobots aren't all great.

Which toys were you considering?

>>6337073
>FE Prime on display.

I know that toy is considered bad, but I like that Platinum Silver Knight Optimus better than my ultra fancy Takara AD-31 Armor Knight Optimus Prime.

No, really. It may be considered blasphemy, but I think he look better and he's WAY more fun to play with.

I also like the Movie voyager Starscream WAY more than the ROTF voyager. Yeah, I'm weird like that.

>>6337072
I'd prefer if it did rattle.

>>6337082
I mean, it's okay if you think they're more fun to play with. But why is FE on display when you already own AD-31? You never even have to take Armor Knight off of the shelf.

>>6337050

I really hope they show the last few waves of Titans Return, the three variations of the Trigger Happy mold would make a great Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp. Also they need to retool Leader Skyshadow into Megatron, he's just begging to resemble Energon megatron. I also hope they finally retool Chromedone into Bumblebee because he would make a perfect deluxe Bumblebee.

>>6336988

Well, shit. Probably pass for now, even though that winged knight robot mode is pretty great. Sort of wanted to wait on a more interesting deco anyway, even though he reminds me a bit of Vector Prime. This shit where you practically have to slather your toys in acrylic straight out of the packaging is bullshit.

I need help. A couple of years ago I got a transformer that was a pickup truck, and had a smaller transformer on the back which could turn into a gun, what set was it from?

>>6337098
It's also really unfortunate that Titans Return is going for 80% of these no-name bots like Quake and Krok and busting out foreign G1 shit like Sky Shadow, Overlord, and Liokaiser.

You also have garbage fan characters like Blitzwing and octone who already had figures made of them relatively recently and the characters are just plain uninteresting. hasbro did the right thing by making the molds megatron and prime first but they really shot themselves in the foot by not regulating Blitzwing and Octone to a store or convention set because nobody is going to buy the literally who's at mass retail. At the very least they should have made the mold g2 megatron or Octone could be DOTM megatron or even turned the Voyager Megatron mold into the Seekers. Hell broadside should be a Seeker and it's a shame that the repaint is some nobody from a show made 20 years ago. he could be an excellent G1 version of movie Starscream.

Means that when they turn into their alt mode, those parts basically form a shell around the controverted robot, instead of transforming. Only spergs are really bothered by this. Beast Wars Neo Break is a perfect example of this.

In the worst cases, you can remove shell completely and form the alt mode separately, see >>6336980

The lame-ass "God Ginrai" Upgrade kit. This just give it more kibble and make the thing almost not-transformable. That's almost 100$ total (Counting Optimus, the kit, and other fees) thrown into the garbage.

I should buy Evasion "rusty" Optimus for my collection to at least enjoy the mold and to have something different.

I don't think we'll be seeing that much more out of Titans Return. It's already been announced that Power of the Primes launches in early 2018, and the typical release schedule for the past few years dictates that there should only be only more after W5.

>>6337169
I'd say that's a pretty good spread. If there's anything I h8 about it, it's that you've oriented Kickback's wings the wrong way.

There are plenty of good figures, but which ones to get depends on your tastes. Do you have any favorite characters? Favorite shows?

Hey, there's a guy offloading CW Liokaisers for almost half off on ebay. Word of warning though, this guy has only been a member for a few months and only has 3 stars from selling baby car seats. If you're willing, it looks like they post a new listing every day, so you can check back tomorrow if you miss it.

>>6337170
There is two more unannounced boxsets for the remaining clones.

>>6337187
Wrong thread. >>6331903

But to answer your question, it really depends. Figures based on highly desirable characters or designs, like comic exclusives or masterpiece alikes with no official option in sight, will certainly sell out within a week or so of coming out. Really, I've only ever seen 3p combiner boxsets ever go down in price.

For Susanoo, I think he's going to last for 2 weeks in stock at most. Also most figures only get one run anyways, but DNA has a first distribution face, so he may get a second release. If so, expect to get him second hand only after this years end.

>>6337193
Yeah, Intelligence and Fireblast sets are guaranteed at this point. I was just saying that there wouldn't be enough room anymore for more regular waves of toys.

>>6337191
I'm genuinely amazed Takara haven't released Liokaiser yet, I was really expecting them too since he's the only original Japanese combiner to come out of CW. They changed so much on the Constructions and Technobots it's just weird.

>>6337205
I guess it was made so late in the run of CW/UW that Takara didn't catch wind of it until they had already decided to conclude the line.

Like, it was so late that Hasbro put it in Platinum instead of Combiner Wars.

>>6337205
Probably >>6337208 as well as, like you said, Takara's staunch adherence to toon accuracy. They made a deluxe Groove and Blast-off on top of the retools for Rook and Wheeljack for accuracy, so they would certainly try to make a torso out of two bots. Devastator's limbs are pretty small retools, while a totally unique and entirely nonretoolable torso would be too much work and too pricey before they canned UW.

Maybe somewhere way down the line, they'll release a totally unique Liokaiser, but I think that will have to be a Titan release with no CW compatibility. The breast force was just too odd a team to get into Combiner wars without all of the compromises they have.

>>6337191
I got him pretty early, being in Asia. Personally I think Liokaiser is best looking hasbro boxset in all modes, despite the complete lack of G1 accuracy. They gave all the heads remolds and gave all them lots of paint and tampo's, even the tiny micron arms weapon. It's like they actually put in effort in this set (I think it's probably initiated by the same Hasbro HK people that did YOTS Omega supreme and those GDO toys)

Now the problems. First the plane limbs are really loose, the combiner elbows have issues holding themselves up at a 90 deg bend. You can tell they've reused those molds a lot, nothing you can't tighten though.

Second, there are paint issues. There are paint in paint-rub prone areas. Also, I was unfortunate enough to have one of Killbison's horns fused at its hinge due to the paint. The funny thing that 3/4 of the new heads have horns on hinges, but all these heads are cast in hornless Gaihawk's pink plastic then fully-painted over.

Gory pic of the fused horn after prying it out. You can see the gold paint stuck to the hinge. Looks fine now after assembling it all back.

As for the loose plane molds, I heard from other anons that the later sets sold as shop exclusive (entertainment earth) in NA didn't have that problem.

>>6337217
It's still possible that, when TakaraTomy does eventually do the Breastforce, they could design them with CW compatibility. Why not?

I'm still grumpy that Devastator wasn't the same size as everyone else.

>>6337146
Dude, just get the die cast same size KOs, nemesis or magnus versions also available, same figure, better design, and the kit is not an upgrade beyond head and feet, it is however, armor.

>>6337239

Don't use sharpies. Ever. On some plastics, the ink can rub off by just touching it, as if it never, ever dry. For small details like tire rims, use a small brush and Tamiya water based silver paint. It does the job pretty well as seen in >>6337057

TFCU News:
You may remember that Empire promised us an article on Transformers Cinematic Universe Writers’ Room. The article is out now and 2005 Boards Member Temenos was kind to scan it for all of us to read.

To sum things up:

Michael Bay met with the writers of TFCU during the principal photography of 13 Hours: Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi.
Ken Nolan, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway wrote the story for Transformers: The Last Knight.
Every iteration, every era was considered for the Cinematic Universe.
The story of TLK is a combination of Nolan’s pitch on a story based on Transformers and King Arthur and Markum/Holloway’s story based on World War II. However, the article states that three stories were consolidated into the movie.
Santiago Cabrera plays Merlin.
The Bumblebee Movie story is set in 1980s.
The Bumblebee Movie will have less robots and the main focus is [obviously] Bumblebee.
The tone of The Bumblebee Movie is pitched for the younger audience it seems.
An Animated prequel is in the works. The story takes place in Cybertron regarding the origin myth of the Transformers millions of years ago. Ant-Man writers are working on the project.
Transformers movie set is ancient Rome is also in the works.
You can read more via the attached scans on this news post.

>The Bumblebee Movie story is set in 1980s.
Why 80s???
I wanted WWII :(

>An Animated prequel is in the works. The story takes place in Cybertron regarding the origin myth of the Transformers millions of years ago. Ant-Man writers are working on the project.

I'm all in!

>>6337320

They didn't plan ahead at all. Proof is MP03 Starscream was not in scale at all with Optimus. Why they made that Optimus so GIGANTIC anyway?

Has there been any news whatsoever regarding Platinum Edition Headmaster box sets? The last information was from some event in Taiwan late last year. Was it all just bullshit?
It was supposed to be 3 boxes of the 4 '87 Autobot Headmasters, the 3 '87 Decepticon Headmasters and the 2 Horrorcons

>>6337326
Fake.

>>6337322
Cool.

>>6337322
>Transformers movie set is ancient Rome is also in the works.
How is that gonna work? Predacons? Predaking?
Also,the Bumblebee movie is set in the 80s and is directed by Travis Knight...interesting.

>>6337205
Japanese fans probably wouldn't like the torso, they're pretty picky when it comes to cartoon accuracy.

Speaking of which, does anyone have actual insight in the japanese reception to things in general?

>>6337322
Neat

>>6337322
An animated project. Will it be a movie or a TV show?
I always did want Transformers to be well intertwined with Earth's past. The Arthutian and WWII plotline of TLK are awesome.
Ancient Rome would be an awesome setting. After all the Roman Mythology is awesome and there would be a lot of interesting places to feature like the Roman Collesium.
The Bumblebee Movie is gonna be dope. The 1980s is an interesting time frame and the younger tone would work well with BB.
Overall awesome things are coming. Can't wait for TLK. I pray for Berserker to be in TF6 so I can have a better figure of him. Hope Michael Bay moves on to do great things but no lie he probably will be back.

Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide and Jazz arrived on Earth in 2007. Bumblebee was already on Earth.

>>6337322

So /tfg/, there's always one. What's the Transformers figure widely regarded as shit that you love the pants off of?

For me, it's Prime Abominus. Sure, the individual guys range from okay-to-great, but look at this big, ugly, unapologetic technicolour bastard. It looks like he wants to kill everything with fire just as much as they want to kill him.

Guys, are the Takara products for this month suppose to be released today? I thought it was in the penultimate week of the month.

You can use his nightstick. I no longer even see it as kibble anymore, it's just a shield on his back. lol I love this figure.

>>6337291
The guy who designed that Bumblebee(and probably Leader Starscream, since he infamously calls dibs on any Starscream toy design) is the same designer who launched the rebooted MP line with MP-10. If you look at that MP Bee mold, there's some early traces of engineering you'd see he'd apply in the MP datsun mold.

>>6336974
The design was meant to be a tweeked version of the first trilogy design, and that design aesthetic predates the shift in style.

>>6336974

I really wish this mold had his mask on.

>>6337772
It would be my absolute favorite movie Optimus Prime if he did. Sure, he could use more paint, but damn that is one GOOD movie figure.

>>6337772
>>6337776
There's a few versions of that mold with a faceplate.

Is there a difference in plastic quality between classics Rodimus and the Reveal the Shield one or are they both about the same?

I'd like a good Hot Rod other than the Masterpiece and the TR figure doesn't appeal to me that much.

Ok I have to ask, I just finally found a Barricade today and Ive been trying to figure out how you all are popping the roof off? Mine is on their insanely tight and I'm scared I'm going to crack those tabs. Is there like a special trick to popping it off?

>>6337862
twist it

>>6337862

Detach from the roof, not his waist. It's just a friction hinge that will pop off easily if you just take the roof and pull sideways against the hinge.

He's going to have a slight tail, but it's not really noticeable when you fold it back down.

I don't know that it's breakable at all...

>>6337861

Looks like that one has a flame motif when it robot mode and I really hate that. lol Maybe it would be worth it to buy both and switch the heads.

>>6337864
>>6337866
Whelp I feel like a jackass now, I didnt know it was that particular joint that it separated at, thank you both I got it now.
On a side note this guy is actually a great figure. People had kinda said that he was just ok but with all his little accessories and good range of motion I'd put him in the "very good" category at the least.

>>6337859
For disposable identical goons, I really did like their cylon look.

>>6337169
It's a slippery slope, man. A few months back I bought Battle Core Optimus at Ross. I've dropped like 700 burgerbucks since then. And I dont own any MPs... yet.

>>6337169
Get yourself some MP carbots, man. Except for Tracks maybe, they're like crack.

Apparently there's going to be six titans return box sets instead of just 4. The 5 bot count will still exist, is it just simply a coincidence that the Dinobots are also 5?

>>6337908
The only issue is their price.
The MP Bee i have there is actually knockoff, and it's utter shit, so from now on I'm only gonna get genuine MPs. (though I do have knockoff Ratbat coming in the mail.)
I have been eyeing both Prowl and Wheeljack lately.
Leaning towards Prowl, but I'm still on the fence, and will likely only get one of them.
Any anons got comments on the two?

>>6337915
Prowl and Wheeljack look like solid choices, anon. I'd lean more toward Prowl myself though, because I like police cars, even if Prowl's kind of a dick.

>>6337915
You might be able to find someone to sell you a Prowl cheap, they had them for $35 at TRU one holiday. One good soul might not mind getting a smaller ROI on it.

>>6337915
I think MP Wheeljack is motherfucking perfect aside from a lack of storage for his pistol in robot mode. Prowl is another rock solid toy, but some people may dislike the hollows legs.

It's hard to choose between them honestly. Maybe go for Wheeljack if you want a slightly more solidly built toy, but that being said you can't go wrong with a Prowl (or any of his moldmates).

>>6337909
First, where did you hear this? Second, what the hell do Dinobots have to do with that?

The arms are poorly articulated, the torso is fat and doesn't like to tab together properly (it never really comes apart at least) and the backpack is just kind of shit.

It's still a pretty good figure but it doesn't stand up to the likes of the other carbots.

>>6337943
I'm very pro-Tracks. I think while he has some shortcomings, he's still great overall. Dead sexy in both modes with a uniquely slim build that helps him stand apart. He does have some hollowness in his upper torso, but it's extremely forgivable. The ratchets in his knees and elbows are pretty shit and limit articulation, but his ankles more than make up for it. They get wonderful horizontal movement and make for some pretty dynamic poses that the other carbots couldn't hope to pull off. Honestly, wanting better knee articulation is a bit of a moot point when most MPs don't have the front-to-back ankle movement to go with it anyway.

People complain about the torso not holding together, but a bit of futureshine on the chest tabs fixes that. And it wasn't even a problem for me on Loudpedal here. The backpack being loose is another complaint, but as long as it's tabbed in right, I can pick them up by it and there's no issue. Anyone who complains about an ankle gap is forgetting to transform the grill pieces.

I think the biggest potential issue with this figure is if you get a weak ratchet in one of the knee joints. It IS fixable if you're willing to tinker. If you split the shin apart, you'll see the tab for the ratchet doesn't fit as snugly as it should in the little compartment it slides into. You can cut a thin piece of plastic and wedge it in there to reduce the wobble.

NOT something you should have to do on a figure at these price points, but... these are the times we live in.

Also, I really kind of want Soundblaster to go with Loudpedal. Their similar colors and specialization in sonic-based weaponry gives me a boner.

I never fucking realized you could do this. I even went as far as checking the instructions to see if it was an undocumented step but sure enough they tell you to turn the grill on a piss-easy to miss step.

I think he looks neat but the mold has too many issues for me to want to pay full price for it

It's hard for me to decide on another MP. I have Hot Rod and love it, but I get picky with anything over $50. MP10 is the obvious choice, but fuck me $200 is a lot for one toy. I might get the Fans Hobby Gunfighter and dip into 3P scum.

Blurr is probably my favorite, and Twinstrike is good too. The only ones you want to avoid are Skullcruncher (decent concept fucked by universally shitty qc) and Wolfire because he breaks ridiculously easily.

If you're into painting you could make him look better, also despite the back kibble the transform is close to rotf kinda? I was pleasently surprised.

My one complaint is the headsculpt (not the mask though its fine), once again, toon accurate to a fault.

Making it closer to the old mp asthetic would of been pleasing

...yeah sorry dude, I have to admit that would of been fun to watch the fallout.

I think the best part of the whole thing is the car mode, wouldn't look out of place being mistaken for mp tigertrack, now I need to question if I need it

Few observations

>no lamborgini tampos
If they're licensing him shouldn't he have those like lambor did and his repaints and retools?
>dat color
That's...hard to get in paint, could he be pure plastic, not that I'd mind but...would be odd
>dat supercharger
Looks great in car mode but much like almost all hotrod toys it doesn't stand out enough for robot mode, an inch taller may of helped, but same can be said about the head wings
>dat buttflap
Awkward spot for the autobot logo to end up, HOWEVER this (somewhat) confirms the rumor that we couldn't get sunstreaker in the past because of the hood split.

Well it doesn't split now does it?

This is Takara, they're going to milk that car mold for all it's worth.

>>6338428
Mold reuse is always a possibility, the red one is the most known diaclone variant so good chance we'll see that one if nothing else.

So far from the current "rebooted" mp line we haven't seen a redeco/retool from shockwave, cheetor (a heavy retool into tigertron seems a bit difficult though), megatron (possibility exist so this will change) and hotrod (what could they do other than another black rodimus style repaint with oc comic to give him any sense?)

>>6338435

No that's the nature of transformers and toys in general, hasbro still have alot of "exclusive" retools like the leader seekers that they haven't shared for whatever reason

>>6338394
Looks like his transformation is a clusterfuck. Head sculpt is retarded, too. And fuck that stupid alien mask. Instead of wasting plastic on dumb accessories that recreate a one-off moment from some random episode, they should have given us an alternate toy accurate head or gun.

>>6338373
Wait, so are the custom bits suppose to be clip on pieces, or just hidden in vehicle mode unless you chose to transform the back a bit?

>>6338428
Most likely. Here are the options.

Lately, I've been trying to avoid jumping on the first release of a mold, since I'm tired of the same old G1 characters that always get representation, and I tend to prefer the "literally who" repaints. It also doesn't hurt that the repaints usually come with tweaks to improve the mold, and better accessories.

Sadly, this time I'll probably end up with just Sunstreaker, since I don't really want any more red or police car autobots.

>>6338557
It's a miracle Optimus turned out so well at all, since his robot mode practically has none of the details from his vehicle mode. He transforms better than the leader, even.

The real shame is that nothing suggests we're getting a new leader Prime, which might have been as good as the ROFT Prime.

>>6338463
>tfw mine shipped last night

Thank you based Hong Kong.

Not really.
Evasion mode is optimus done right.
They also did well with the rotf voyager that came with the matrix.

This and the new hound!

>>6338563
Both of those designs had visible altmode parts in robotmode, AoE/TLK Prime has almost none.

>>6338571
Because tlk/aoe is a shellformer

>>6338563
ROTF Voyager Optimus is horrible to transform and (at least mine) is a floppy mess. The TLK Optimus isn't perfect, but I really enjoy it.

>>6338372
It looks nice, yet I can't help but feel as thought he'd have better details and a much cleaner and simpler transformation if he didn't come after MP Inferno or Megatron.

I guess this is the future of our animation accurate carbots

>study your transformers tech specs

...why?

>>6337999
I still don't get what people missed.. I'm there wondering if I missed something or I was doing it right all along. What did it look like before you realised?

>>6338705
In >>6337999 left is the grill transformed and right is the grill untransformed. It's not a world of difference but it's a difference.

I imagine people missed that step because the mold has a pretty obvious leg transformation aside from that step, and once the legs are the only steps left, people just kind of stopped looking at the instructions.

>>6338711
Upon further inspection I found it. Like you said, not a world of difference, but still a "huh" moment when I find an additional step in a toy I've had for more than a year.

My main beef with this figure is still the cavity in the chest when looking from above, and how the head just floats on a tab.

Was one of my most requested MPs, I was blown away when he actually got announced, so I guess I'm kinda overly critical on how good he should have been.

>>6338714
>and how the head just floats on a tab.

That's seriously the most annoying part of the mold. It barely even locks into place, and on the Road Rage version the tab doesn't lock it in any way.

>>6338682
Masterpiece generally doesn't give a fuck about toy accurate anything, sculpt wise. Get over it. Masterpiece of a cartoon line, nobody cares about toy details except spergs.

when is "[blank] accuracy" going to stop being a thing already

>>6338734
When people who don't like the G1 cartoon just admit they don't like the G1 cartoon instead of passive aggressively whining whenever a toy gets based on it.

>>6338729
You're the only sperg here, getting triggered over everything.

>>6338484
But RotF Voyager already exists.

I thought this was going to be a review of the Leader. Sucks.

So, is Berserker shit?
That's a shame, I was even expecting them to make the other Dreads.

>>6338738
I laughed when Bobby Skullface disliked Inferno being cartoon accurate after pulling fucking screenshots of the cartoon while reviewing other MPs.

>>6338394
>Dat gap
Whew. And not in a sexy way. The rest of the figure is pretty neat though.

>>6338750
