I'm so PUMPED Scott McNeil is doing TFCon this year.

who else is going?

>>6367431
Thanks for posting about Black Zarak, reminded me I need to pick up a junker Scorponok, BZ helmet and some reprolabels to make a custom one that won't fucking disintegrate in my hands.
Anyone else tried this before?

I wonder how they could do headmasters in a video game, they could make it like gta, only any vehicle you find can turn into a body.

>>6367640
While that's definitely the best alternative to Hasbrokon or PetesTotallyNotBotcon, low on funds, can't travel. Have fun though, anon.

Hasbro?

>>6367667
Yep

Which versions of the Enerogn mold Scorponok have GPS issues and which don't? I could use first hand testimonies, since a lot of GPS claims just seem to be rumors. For example, I've had Fuzors Torca since I was a kid and he is well played with and still in one poiece, but people claim he has GPS now.

Now that I think about it, do the hasbro and takara versions of trypticon have any differences? The only one I noticed was that the hasbro one had purple circles on the shoulder cannons whereas the takara one had unpainted circles.

Maybe the plastics a different color, but I haven't been able to tell.

It's not GPS, it's this beige plastic component on the chest that has the tendency to snap. The part is bearing all the hefty weight of the arms and this is compounded by how tight the shoulder joint when turning.

>>6367680
So they can resell the mold three years later with a yellow plastic head.

>>6367675
The box art shows dark circles, but the toy doesn't have them.

He does have 158 stickers though. I got halfway through adding them before temporarily giving up.

>>6367675
The >>6367675
test shots hasbro had previously had a black spot on the shoulder canons painted, but it seems between both its missing.

UNLESS takara post something last minute they'll be identical, something we haven't seen in years

>>6367716
It did take them ages to reveal fort max came with the master sword, but it does seem like he doesn't come with any additions.

Post the most powerful transformer that u own, or want to own

I'm sure I could beat a kid to death with my generations metroplex.

Pls don't do that.

The second transformers film was on the telly tnight finished a lil while ago... I don't know much about the lord. The super old jetwing character was neat. I know a little about the destructor thing, that massive robot. Also a bit about primus. Guess I'd like ppl to post their powerful robots. Is optimus the only prime ppl have in toy form?

So Amazon has the hasbro Titans Return Fortress Maximus on sale for $113. I've always loved Fort Max, should I bite the bullet and get him?

Its true, dirge is the best of the 3 conehead seekers.

He also just seems meh, wings are panel heavy and ratchets could be tighter but strong enough for the most basic of needs from the mold, infact I'm worried about snapping off the wings so care is needed when sliding the torso or snapping the legs.

Otherwise he's ok, plus more reliance on plastic color than his 2 brothers, now I need a hasbro mp11 colored skywarp and I can quit seeking seekers once and for all

How are the MP Seekers?

>>6367767
Word to the wise, those winglets on the ends of the wings?

DON'T flap those, they come off easily enough but 1 don't do much to change the look for robot mode, and 2 they can fracture the wings, as seen here, its because its a thin section with a panel line between, easily repaired if you come across it but you do NOT want to do that.

Also sprue marks are horrible, whoever cut them was ripping the cutting tool away from the figure in a clear rush.

>>6367774
Kinda eh, mp03 (the first seeker mold) tried to hide the jet kibble and ended up giving sword scabbard looking hip kibble, not megaposeable but it did the job, also face swapping gimmick with each of the TAKARA heads getting different expressions to make each one different, but the deco's aren't remotely g1 accurate though mp03 starscream wouldn't look out of place with a 1/60 scale model.

Then we get the newer mp11 mold, some debate its a all new mold, it could just be borrowing engineering with the mp03, I say its a heavy retool job that focuses on the robot mode, the newly added heel spurs (which were once the jet engine detal remolded to flip out) remove the need for the flight stand of the mp03, and all past jet gimmicks are intact (landing gear, jet intakes move, nosecone opens and airbrakes move), if you are a hardcore transformer fan these are the best seekers you can get unless you go the 3p route...one problem with the seekers of the mp11 type is the mold is heavily worn and newer releases are either getting sloppier in the qc department or looser joint wise, my best seekers of the mp11 type are hasbro acid storm and hasbro thundercracker, people have noted the takara skywarp and thundercrackers can vary a bit and apparently the reissue of takara starscream is shoddy, and from my time with hasbro starscream I believe them.

The coneheads are meh with dirge being the better of the 3 (despite the crack I posted), thrust having a loose waist and ramjet getting a shitload of issues.

>>6367779
>>6367774
My honest tip, either get 3p's, wait for a takara 3.0, or get one of the oversized ko's.

Unless you can get the actual mp11 types cheap of course, acidstorm and hasbro sunstorm would be the cheapest to find officially but all the rest especially the takara seekers are costly with progressively worsening qc, and if you want starscream with the cape, try to look for the asia reissue takara starscream, plastic grey nosecone (not painted grey over blue so less scratch damage) and the head is plain black plastic and not glossy black, both those sections are prone to scratching during transformation

I love my seekers but I'm just about done and had enough of shit like this, I mean the robots will never be able to kneel but flight poses are fine...but I want it all, and I won't get it all here.

This.

The mold looks great but the CGI stills of the character looks fine BUT the figure's deco is really disappointing.

I really was looking forward to this....and I honestly don't like Bayformers that much.

Is there any reason to get the Takara Brainstorm over the Thrilling 30 version?

At this point, the knights in TLK have no aesthetic resemblance to bayformers from the first three movies they aren't traditional designs, but you could get away with telling me they where transtech designs or something

Other than the color differences, there were reports of the T30 painting the headmaster port, causing it to be too tight, plus the obvious scuffing issues, apparently there was a running change that fixes this.

I had to get the Takatomy version anyway since the T30 was skipped here. It was in one of those last waves in a line that retailers tend to skip.

>>6368001
It really depends on your priorities, if you want a nice city mode with working elevator and lauching ramps go for the G1, if you want a huge robot with decent articulation, a medium size robot with also with good articulation and better proportions than the G1 that also has a face accurate to the show go for the TR.

Space cruiser mode is the same in both, a laying down bot.

Seems Bayformer's is finally getting a bit better. Did they finally fire the fucktards who made the abortions of design that were the last few films? I mean, compare it to this:

Leader Megs or Voyager Megs? I was so looking forward to leader just for the flame parts, not sure anymore.

The voyager not having a gaping hole in the arm is great. It also has an overall cleaner transformation and hides kibble better. It also helps that it doesn't have rubber skirts for no fucking good reason.

Just ignore the head gimmick all together.

Just stick to giving each Headmaster certain powers based upon canon traits of the Headmasters:

Mindwipe can put the psychic whammy on people who are briefly paralyzed

Siren has super-human endurance that lets him take endless abuse

Squeezeplay has all sorts of kung fu moves

Fangry has berserker super strength

Skullcruncher can move around super duper easier in water

Weirdwolf can move super fast

Hardhead has extra damage dealing long range attacks via his cannon

Brainstorm can fly in outer space whereas Highbrow can't.

Chromedrome, Highbrow, Hosehead, Horribull, Apeface, and Snapdragon are all average type characters with no special tricks

They've been better since DOTM. I rememeber seeing Dino/Mirage and Sentinel Prime,and thinking they looked really cool. Sentinel in particular seems like an adaptation of a Japanese design, like he was from Transformers cybertron or a late G1 show. And I may be in the minority, but I loved just about all the Autobot designs in AoE.

Don't worry, the new one won't be that big either.

>>6368156
It'll still be taller than the G1 based on Trypticon and Devastator's heights that's good enough for me, I reckon though that due to the cost of Titan class figures they'll change up the size each year
Metroplex > Devastator > Fortress Maximus > Trypticon has been 24'' > 18'' > 24'' > ~18'' so if Scorponok follows that trend and they aren't just making the Decepticon figures smaller he should stand around the same height as Metro and Max (also as some anons have been saying he may be another half arsed retool of that mould as much as I don't want to believe it)

I don't get why Bandai can make decent gold plastic that actually looks golden and not some dirty copper color and HasTak doesn't.

I was thinking of repurposing Leader Megatron into Liege Maximo.

Well worth picking up

You even have the choice now of Hardhead or Quaake now. Whatever colors work best for you. Although there's no shame in getting both, either.

>>6368290
I still resent HasTak for making Quake and not Stalker.
I guess Warden gonna Ward (Goldner's cocaine funds), they would've needed to make a new weapon for it and then the faceplate.

1. How likely is it that Skorponok will be a Max retool?

2. What would be the major differences between a Takara Skorponok and a Hasbro one?

I fucking love LG39. People don't like him because his colors are weird, but they grow on you. His little transforming jeep weapon is fun, his paint quality is stellar, and overall he just looks stylish. I didn't care for the cartoon head, so I bought the LG EX headmaster set, but other than that, he's great. My second favorite TR toy after Hardhead.

I bought all 4 original Autobot headmasters from Hasbro, and then from Takara, and the Takara versions ended up being my favorite just because of better/more paint apps, higher quality, and the included titanmaster vehicles are a fun bonus.

Hasbro is Scorponok, Takara is Black Zarak, complete with GPS.

>>6368342
They could probably just rerelease him and it would fit right in. Maybe in silvers this time.

>>6368342
It's weird he hasn't been released yet, TR Alpha Trion is clearly meant to double as him.

>>6368333
1. We have no fucking clue.

There has been speculation that Hasbro will basically extensively retool either Trypticon or Omega Supreme to create Scorponok; that they would not have announced the poll in the first place if they did not have plans to have at least two of them sharing the same mold.

2. Takara's version will have the anime version of the shield Scorponoks made to block the Master Sword, at the very least. Also,a 50-50 chance that you'd eventually get Black Zarak repaint.

Chest doesn't tab anywhere and the head can get stuck.

>>6368468
Head is perpetually looking downward and the ball joint it's on is at a slight angle so you can't really correct that. Chest doesn't click into place for robot mode so moving the shoulders the wrong way can dislodge the chest (ala the Classics Jazz figure)

That's about all.

Did? No, Alexis is a kid and Starscream was a mindless zombie when she was an adult and when he came back from dying again was another reset mode lacking sympathy to others, only becoming powerful and overthrowing Megatron as reason to be.
Would? Difficult to gauge. Alexis liked Screamer obviously, but Starscream's primary focus was simply to defeat Megatron and prove his worth.
Could? Seems unlikely because of the sheer size difference.

>>6367789
TLK really looks like a visual improvement over other tf flicks,the previous ones had shitty bayesque style to them, this one seems different

>>6367644
I could think of a few ways:

-Game begins with the OC (you chose the faction), then a battle between T30 Metroplex (Blaster) and OG Trypticon(Sixshot).
-Autobot campaign gives you the original Headmasters, OC, PMOP (Ginrai version) plus unlockable Hot Rod, and Blaster with Cassette assists.
-Decepticon campaign gives you the Decepticon Headmasters, OC, Sixshot, Megatron, plus unlockable Galvatron and Soundwave with cassette assists
-Head swapping only adds stats to the body, and gives a special ability that only activates after a gauge is filled, then stops working after depleted
-Special circumstances allow you to control Fortress Maximus, Scorponok, Trypticon (OG and TR), and Metroplex

Story centers around the transformers being affected by strange radiation that starts killing them, but end up being saved by the arrival of the TM, who save them by housing their sparks in smaller TM bodies (old bodies are lost due to the radiation), then provide them with the means to combine with copies of their original bodies that function like the originals.
-Plot centers around the Decepticons creating a super weapon that can harness the power of TM's to rule the Galaxy (TR Trypticon)

The premium version of the game comes with the OC toys for Autobot and Decepticon

new layout and $4 flat shipping for contiguous United States

I'm having issues with my Godbomber in vehicle mode. The little flaps with the Autobot badges that end up on legs in robot mode won't line up properly with the cockpit to attach, and the cockpit kind of seems to sit at an angle. I can get one panel on at a time, but when I try to attach the other one on the other side they pop off the peg. Is this a known QC issue or am I mistransforming something?

My favorite thing about the DS games was that stealth/being in vehicle mode was important. It was probably the only Transformers game I've played where it felt like you needed to be in vehicle mode at any point. That and enemies being cars that were just hanging out in traffic, driving around, blending in. The Xbox 360 version just had enemies spawn when you transformed, but the DS games had cars that were right next to you in traffic for minutes reveal themselves. Holy shit, anons, I have such fond memories of driving badly and accidentally hitting a car on the street to see it almost transform for a split second, and then speeding off because I found them out, that was so badass.

It's a hard choice between Starscream, Jazz, and Brawl.

The first movie had such great designs, and Jet not Munky all you want, I thought the Starscream design was inspired and gave him a needed ferocity. Plus, he has one of the greatest leader class toys ever. Brawl is just a hulking bastard and looks awesome, and Jazz is the perfect representation of the character in a more complex, realistic form.

Daily Mail got hold of Sir Anthony Hopkins over the weekend to talk a bit about his experience while working on Transformers: The Last Knight.

Hopkins plays Sir Edmund Burton, the 12th Earl of Folgan, who has devoted his life to the study of the ancestries of humans and Transformers. He and Mark Wahlberg (as the hero Cade Yeager) team up to make an unlikely alliance to save the world from being destroyed by war between the Transformers and humans.

‘You’re not going to ask me to explain the plot are you?’ he says. ‘Because it’s so very complicated and there’s the whole mythology of four previous films that come into play. I have to admit, I don’t quite get all of it.

‘All I know is I play a highly educated, eccentric English lord. I had a terrific time making it. Mark Wahlberg was wonderful to work with, the locations were excellent [Northumberland, Norway, Arizona, the Isle of Skye and Stonehenge] and I showed up, put my costume on, said my lines and stayed out of trouble. That’s all I ever do. It beats working for a living.’

Hopkins is always at pains to destroy any smug ‘luvviness’ about the acting world. He loathes the painful intensity of the method actors, who insist on staying in character throughout filming (‘what a pain in the ass’) and repeats several times that ‘the greatest difficulty in this business is the sense of entitlement some people have just because of what they do’.

The article is accompanied with a nice shot of Sir Burton and Hot Rod

>>6369005
>"Because it’s so very complicated and there’s the whole mythology of four previous films that come into play. I have to admit, I don’t quite get all of it."

Wow, this is interesting.
We already know that all the previous movies will interlink, there is also the clear confirmation from the trailers and TV spots, but it's always a pleasure to have inteviews where there are references to this fact.

In the end, we don't have already an explanation of why Earth and Cybertron are so connected. After all these trailers and TV spots, there is no spoiler about the mythology that will open the doors for a bigger universe. We see only the action scenes and little bits of the plot, and nothing else.

>>6369005
>I showed up, put my costume on, said my lines and stayed out of trouble.
>i.e. It's just a kids toy commercial man, Idgaf
Damn, Hopkins is cool.

Following up to the previous news post regarding her possible involvement with the Transformers Franchise, it seems as though Hailee Steinfeld is confirmed for her upcoming role on Transformers Cinematic Universe spin-off movie Bumblebee.

Speaking to News Australia the actress stated:

“I am so excited to know that is the next movie I am working on. Obviously I’m coming to Australia and when I come back, we start shooting.”

While most details are being kept quiet, Hollywood Reporter has claimed that the role will be a tomboy who works as a mechanic after school.

The Bumblebee Movie is set to be directed by the acclaimed stop motion animation director Travis Knight.

His autistic screeching is correct though, scalpers are the fucking worst. I don't like in 'Murica so there isn't any chance for me to get that sweet 40$ Maximus around here but if I did then it would certainly be a shame to see scalpers mass-stocking them. So yeah, his frustration is reasonable.

Either stand this or move to the US and be mugged by the government into homelessness but with access to cheap transformers. Decisions, decisions.

>>6368782
There are a lot of G1 Topspin/Twin Twists out there for two reasons:

1. Hasbro heavily produced both figures when the second wave of Transformers came out and sent a LOT of them to stores, as far as cases went. They were the only Autobots from that wave for their price point (basically more than a mini-bot but less than a G1 deluxe car figure) and were heavily ordered as a result.

2. The figures, Topspin in particular, were heavily bootlegged in the 80s by fly by night companies

>>6369084
That's because he knows now that he's a prisoner of the films just as fans are prisoners of Michael Bay directing Transformers.

Ever since TF 3, Paramount has been holding Michael Bay's career hostage to force him to churn out Transformers films. Pain and Gain almost didn't get made because Paramount held it hostage to make Bay do parts 3 and 4 and Bay probably got told any further films of his would be contingent on him doing TF 5

I started on this a few months back for my Shapeways store but it has several sizing issues I need to correct. I'm actually considering dropping the project altogether since I'm not sure sinking another $10 into a second prototype that MIGHT work is worth it when Fansproject Madlaw is only $50-ish right now and is a much better representation of Quickswitch than this barely-remolded repaint.

Anyone else have issues with their Despotron? I feel like the placement for the gun barrel on his back doesn't lock is at all and can lean over with little to no pressure.

Are his feet diecast? Like a plastic ball joint going into a metal socket? Because that's going to make Ginrai's balancing issues look like a minor oversight, especially with the metal in his torso.

Can someone take a pic Godbomber's legs on CW Optimus prime?

The ball joint ankles look like a plastic ball on a plastic socket. The feet use silver plastic and actual diecast.

It looks like cancelling pre-orders on BBTS is bugged right now. Fun.

I was just thinking about the first bayformers movie for some reason. I wonder if that joke at the start of the movie where Shia Lebeouf's dad drives through a porsche dealership when he's taking him to the used car lot was a deliberate joke about Hastak's inability to license porsche cars for transformers?

I feel like I'm either the first person to think of this or I'm incredibly slow.

I haven't bought a transformer in years but this is so eniticing. I bet you TLK is going the way of Transformers Prime and Megatron makes a new army of zombies out of corpses he discovers

>>6369417
In my humble opinion and only based on video reviews, Optimus Primal seem phenomenal. But I just can't bring myself to love MP Cheetor with his kibbles everywhere.

>>6369417
All those figures in your pic except for the 3P Scourge have been reviewed by JobbyTheHong.. He's a fun reviewer. I'd look at him?

>>6369417
All those figures are so fucking cool and I love them all, except for shredder who I don't have, but want. You should totally get them and help me support more late 90's/early 2000's based toy releases. The official MP line is great and amazingly show accurate for a transforming figure,, and Perfect effect's Optimal Optimus is impressive.

>>6369417
Optimus Primal is basically perfect. His only issues is that his antennae are susceptible to paint scratching during transformation and that his hinge elbows are a little unsightly.

MP Cheetor is almost perfect. Joint tightness on him is a huge issue though and due to the way he's assembled it's pretty much impossible to loosen or tighten anything,. He can also be slightly fragile, which can be doubly fun if you have excessively tight joints. He's also a kibble nightmare if you choose to store both his guns on his back in robot mode, but he's really clean otherwise.

>>6369426
Same here, Cheetor kinda has me on the fence. But if I get Optimal, I feel like I HAVE to get Cheetor too, since we'll (hopefully) eventually get the original cast.
>>6369431
>>6369435
Thanks for the advice.

>>6369427
I love JobbyTheHong. I also really like Bobby Skullface's reviews. Neither of those guys seem like shills to me, but I watch Jobby more for entertainment than his opinion.

>>6369437
Yeah don't get me wrong. It's impossible to not recommend Cheetor. The few issues he has are perfectly livable and he's a great figure otherwise.

>>6369417

MP Primal suffers from some paint scraping on his robot mode face if you're not EXTREMELY careful with transforming him. He has pretty much 0 clearance on the inside and every last bit must be moved correctly or you'll rip paint right off his face.

Cheetor I think has some breakage issues relating to tolerances being overly tight at times.

>>6369441
Cheeter also has some pretty nasty clearance issues in his chest. On top of there just barely being enough room for the beast head to stow away, they didn't test for clearances with the whiskers so if you want the chest o close properly you'll need to shave off a bit of plastic to make room for the whiskers.

The BW MP figures are incredibly different. If you want toys just from an engineering view they are amazing, even more when it's made by the same company.

The post-ROTF period was truly a Golden Age for transformers. Possibly the best main line transformers have been and perhaps will ever be again.
Of all of them though, Terradive always stood out to me as the best. He looks great in both modes, has an intuitive, fun transformation that was fairly complex but not difficult and pretty unique for a jet transformer too and those colors were fantastic.
Never mind bayformers, Terradive is up there as one of my favorite transformers of all time.

No. They made it clear in the commercials that the only way for Cybertron to live would be the Earth dying. Since we know they aren't going to destroy the Earth, it's fairly obvious that Cybertron is going to be destroyed once and for all.

I don't get you people. You whine and cry when something isn't "screen accurate". But when a character that's supposed to be rusty in the movie has rust colored patches painted on, you STILL whine and cry.

How old are you, exactly? REAL children are more mature about Transformers than adult fans
