Movie is out, new TR wave is dropping, all we need now is LK wave 2.

For all you moviegoers, has the flick made you want any figure? Does that Bumblebee rerelease seems worth $20? Please say yes they won't put out Steelbane until you buy all of them.

Also, if anyone wants to catch a late showing, I've got a code for a $4 ticket. I'd use it but I hate the movies but ironically need to save for Dragonstorm. You have to use it on Atom, but it's good for any time until the 26th.

Any critiques on CW Megatron?
I just picked him up, love his thigh swivels and head sculpt
Wish he could bend his gun arm's elbow and still have his hand out though, or maybe that his shoulder ratchets allowed for slightly more poseability
Why have ratchet joints when you aren't a combiner?
Also also, seems like not being able to rotate the tank turret was a real boner

Because he's coming later. I hope we actually do get a Thunderwing retool. Just change the helmet and Faceplate.

Everyone seemed to hate his hip joints but I think they're fine. He's my favorite CHUG Megatron.
>>
>>6382589
I'm crossing fingers hard the Takara release comes with two headmasters which you can also treat as changeable face plates.
>>
>>6382608
It should, since Black Shadow comes with Mega while Overlord comes with Giga.

Shit, I'd love to trade Black Shadow's TM for one of mine so I can have two for Overlord.

Ideally, some makes custom plates that resemble the Godmaster engines to give to Giga and Mega, and I can give the face to someone else so it can stay on full time.

I really like him. Good articulation, killer aesthetic, and a really unique transformation and Titan Master integration.

Still, at 45 fried chickens, he's a tough proposition. While he is quite posable, he doesn't have waist or wrist articulation, and there is no reason not to have it besides cost cutting. He has a lot of paint, but he still has stickers. Not nearly as terrible as on Voyager Optimus, Megatron, or Broadside, but it's still bad. His jet half is cool, but the tank just falls short due to it's squat size and lack of rotating turret.

If I couldn't get him for $30 like I did, I never would have bothered. If you're new and just want a big chunky figure off the shelves, he's pretty good on a sale. Just know that you may be left wanting if you're used to more adult collectibles.

I have the figure and I love it. yeah it's an odd choice, but he looks cool and his two vehicle modes and base modes are fun. The transformation is simple yet solid. You can also turn the tank into engines for his starship mode so you can have one very large starship instead of the starship sitting on the tank for the combined vehicle mode.

He's really the best leader since the Powermaster prime/Ultra Magnus mold. Just a solid A+

I also have no connection to his character, so I like to make him a faceless vanguard of destruction. I need better lighting so I can take better pictures of his empty helmet head.

>>6382630
Use a Soundwave head for the full mook effect.

>>6382633
I'd love to, but I really don't want to pay full price just for a face plate, especially since I'm not a fan of the mold and I have the Masterpiece.
>>

>I also have no connection to his character
I didn't think there was one. Last time I checked his fiction is limited to toy bios. Funny that he gets more toys than the guy he was originally remolded from despite that.

>>
>>6382525
I think it's a really great looking figure and the paint is extremely satisfying. Love the simple but effective transformation as well.

I hear a lot of people bitch about the hip ratchets, and they're mostly right. He's kind of hard to pose because of those hip ratchets (same thing that screwed Prime Shockwave). It'd be forgivable if he at least had really good ankle tilts.

False. As fun as a bunch of outrageous altmodes is, nothing will ever beat the fun of turning a little bot into a winged badass with underslung cannons and pop-up faceplate. Also his altmodes actually look convincing AND have places for everything to tab together.

I'd say yes just to have a Blast-Off mold that has decent QC. That, the extra weapons, and Computron limbs go a long ways towards giving him a distinctive personality.

Plus you're collecting Combiner Wars.Repeats are inevitable.
>>
>>6382785
He's better than Bruticus since Shuttler has better leg connectors (you'll have to future shine them or stuck in some paper to keep them together). But I only recommend it if you can get him below 150, anything higher is just criminal.

Hey man I'd watch it if it were in the 25s, at least you know it won't be as bad as AoE, but the fact that it's rated not only worse (while TF forums have been saying that the trailers have shown nearly everything in the final fight) makes me have a feeling of doubt. I'd enjoy watching it in blu ray but the feeling of everyone else groaning in boredom is not what I'd like to pay to be in.

>>6382723
That odd brown rectangle on his chest bothers me.

I just got home from a late Imax showing 3D. It was fucking great, way better than I expected. I think it was the best of the series so far, my previous favorite was Dark of the Moon. All the callbacks and payoffs after ten years of build up. It was quite an experience. I'll answer questions for a few minutes if you guys have any.
>>
>>6382901
Why is your taste so bad

>>6382901
Few questions:
Do the plot holes fill up?
Does any of the fight scenes actually makes sense?
Shaky camera?
How bad are the Dialogues?
>>
>>6382906

Those are all pretty generic subjective questions, anon. I can't tell you how to feel about the movie. There is an above average amount of clarity in the action compared to the series as a whole. The dialogue is serviceable to good if a little too quirky at times.

One thing I'll say is the Cybertronians have a shit load of screen time and dialogue. Shocking amounts.

Any plot or character questions? Lots of the 'leaks' are bullshit.

It's never explained beyond what you see. That scene is right at the start, TRF guys have Cade surrounded and Bee rushes in, takes fire, splits into pieces to play dead, then the pieces start rejoining and independently attacking the nearest soldiers as Bee reconstitutes himself. There is no transformium in this movie like some people speculated.

Remember that scene in AoE where the driver boyfriend 'punches' a dude in the head with the tire of his car? Bee does that to two guys with his flying leg. It's not too bad.
>>
>>6382961
Yeah that plot armor was horse shit. Especially since Bumblebee takes a massive beating on the submerged tomb and just "zoinks" back together at the end.

The movie was exhausting. There's some legitimately interesting things going on with the plot, it's just overly muddled with all these terrible pacing issues, quilt dialogue, and way TLK many action cuts. On one hand, the Decepticons get a bit more personality. On the other, their personalities are pretty fucking awful.

Lots of neat-ish callbacks to the earlier films, but still a damn mess. Oh well.

Yeah I find it really strange that there's no waist rotation considering there's absolutely nothing in the way of having one aside from those two massive hip gears in his crotch that could have just been smaller.

I guess they either just didn't think of it or assumed it wouldn't work since waist rotation is somewhat uncommon on leaders anyway.

Fuck, I misread that as waist swivel. Still, either articulation could have worked and was unfortunately left out.

Squeezeplayfag back again, ended up using Triggerhappy's thighs after all with Highbrow's hips to get them to fit on Mindwipe's waist section.
Had to drill out the peg hole a bit to make them fit over the peg in Squeezeplay's leg but it fits fine. Also had to cut away some of the thigh to allow it to bend properly, as you can see in the picture it's not the best articulation but a 90 degree bend is decent enough.
The height of it is slightly smaller than your average TR Headmaster and more on par with that of the old Headmaster Jr's as seen with Wilder here which I think works fine.

The beast mode still needs a little work, mainly just to get the cobra head thing on a swivel either to hang off the waist section like on the G1 toy or by adding the hinge from MW's bat head that I've highlighted in the image that would allow it to fold up against the back.
The arms a little restricted in that they'll only sit angled out to the side, can't actually have them sitting straight down flush with the rest of the body. Only other thing I need to work on now is the tail/gun piece basically just adding spikes to Mindwipe's tail and then paint it all.

i have im and he is great! everything i always wanted in a megatron toy. He is a very and i mean very nice looking megatron (check out that mean looking headsculpt with one of the best lightpiping systems ever!!!). Megs got all his signature bits, the buckethead, the flat chestplate, the buttons on his belly, his fusion cannon and the sides of his calves even resemble pistolgrips. He is basically the g1 megs if he turned into a tank from the start. His transformation is pretty easy, it only takes 2 minutes tops if you know well what to do. Not really interesting if you like complex transformations. I mean it's a very ''behaved'' transformation with nothing special of new really. The turret can rotate if you don't flip his crotchplate on the back of the turret. Posabillty is not really his strong point but can still hold great and menacing poses. If you can get him for a decent price don't hesitate in the slightest and pull the trigger on him.

Are there any sticker options for TR Soundwave other than Toyhax? Theirs looks great, but I just want a visor sticker and a sticker to replace the gold trim on the chest that flakes off.

Hot Rod's not been an iconic character since the eighties dude. He is not a major character outside of the movie and season three, so his name is one of those that can just be slapped on anyone.

>>6383319
I think only Laserbeak specifically had mimicry abilities because he was a spy/infiltrator type if Decepticon. If this weren't the case he wouldn't have had any significance in the story.
>>
>>6383323
It's been ten years of bayformers. I'm not expecting the characters to have any semblance to their namesakes. Even Bumblebee is not really based on chummy G1 Bumblebee.
>>
>>6383342
Remember in AoE when Optimus was a fucked up mess then he scanned a random Optimus themed truck that happened to be passing by and healed all his injuries?
>>
>>6383323
Well in the case of Bumblebee, bees are black and yellow. So he kind of has to be tgat color palette.

Your complaint about Hot Rod though is pointless when we've had Ratchet be green, Ironhide be black, and Wheeljack be blue in the live action films.
>>
>>6383346
But he still retains core elements of his robot form, regardless of alt mode. Itsnot like he scanned a new vehicle and completely changed in size and design like when Laserbeak became Bumblepink.
>>
>>6383348
>Wheeljack
He was called Que in the movies so he doesn't count.
>>
>>6383323
There are red and black hot rods
>>
>>6383357
It's still meant to be Wheeljack, though.

Que didn't bother me at all since it's at least still very clearly based off of Wheeljack's character and design. Hot Rod is just a shameless example of making something new and giving it a familiar name.

I was just want a good fucking transformers flick, is it too much to ask for or too late? because there is clearly a strong fatigue among the masses and the critiques, I have a feeling that Bumblebee solo might turn out to be good but will be overlooked by the audience because of Bayformers hate but then again its being written by an extremely new writer, the girl who wrote shut-in and is also working on a bunch of shitty cash-in films(tomb raider and Barbie flick)

I haven't seen TLK yet so don't know if that has any repercussions for it, but I have a feeling the Bumblebee movie will be another soft reboot.

after reading all the plot leaks on /tv/, it really sounds like trash tbqh i mean there are some interesting plot points here and there. Transformers have a personality this time but its more of a set of quirks than actual characters, its almost like the monkey's paw effect, also the suicide squad thing sounds really bad desu,it might be better than AOE but thats not much of an achievement

Sorry, I won't be able to pull out trypticon tonight (unless you want me to cram fulltilt full of tm's?), people are asleep and my walls are made of plaster and those twist ties I want to keep intact for storage reasons, last I checked should be 10 or so of the little titan masters that can fit inside trypticon or more if you make his mouth overflow
>>
>>6383192

In what way?
>>
>>6383319

Laserbeak is a spy/assassin , and Shifters - rare Transformers that can take ANY shape - are canon.

So I am guessing he is the only one who can do that.

>>6383323

I hate to break it to you anon but only a masterpiece would get you anything remotely close, even takara would only retool the helmet at best, like most generations figures he's an approximation, some do it better than others.

That black Powermaster Optimus Prime is the non-movie offering at SDCC. Looks like no SDCC Trypticon exists and this SDCC Prime will cost around the same as a normal leader figure. The other exclusive will be movie related.

Pink Murderbee

Not sure if want
>>
>>6383323
So, while the toy definitely has issues, in general Hotrod's design is probably one of the "closer to original" possible in the bayverse
>hood of car as chest
>engine block exposed in back of robot mode
>high shoulders formed from front of fenders
>wheels above elbows
>"wings" on back
Mostly it just suffers from colorscheming problems.
I guarantee you, you're gonna see tons of custom repaints that make that figure look a LOT like Hotrod
And I bet in TF6, he gets a makeover.

The thing people need to remember is that very few vehicles get their paint jobs picked in the movies. The car companies pick them. Prime got his cool scheme because his truck isn't a commercial vehicle, it's for shipping.
All the others had paint jobs that were available to the public.

Okay, so I have two questions about the film and I want spoiler free yes or no answers because the few leaks/reactions I'm reading are making me worry.

First question is whether or not they tried to incorporate the Allspark, Primes, Ark etc. into this new story since they show the Ark and Sun Harvester getting destroyed by chunks of Cybertron. I understand having the bullshit like the KSI cubeformations being ignored but the others seem really important and they've teased that they're trying to string rhe lore together.

Second question is whether or not you guys thought this was a satisfying end to the story/it actually is the end. Again, just yes and no. I just don't want to go in with high expectations and be let down.

Question for those with the seige of cybertron set, or more specifically, the "magnus prime" of the set.

I seen the figure, the titan master, but not the face UNDER the helmet, something tells me he has red eyes but I could be wrong.

So what is the face on the titan master, the ginrai head, the PMOP head, redeco'd or not?

Dude, the fucking Ghostbusters remake has a 78%. RT scores are TRASH, and are no indicator of inherent quality. Watch the movie and decide for yourself. Don't let some aggregate score on a shitty website decide for you.

I actually liked AoE. I feel like it was the moment that the movies finally got so batshit insane and over-the-top, I couldn't help but enjoy myself, and Last Knight looks like it's gonna go even further.

I feel like anyone who actually expects these movies to have a meaningful plot or do any kind of justice to the characters and the concept at this point is a legit retard.

>>6383323

Who cares? Hot Rod's cartoon design would look like shit in real life. The only reason you care at all is because it's different than what you know and are comfortable with. What makes the old design better besides the fact that it's old alone? This franchise is known for recycling names for different characters. The UT was full of it. So why pretend it's a movie thing?
>>
>>6383322

They make perfect sense if you aren't a nitpicking autist.
>>
>>6383598
One of my biggest gripe with Turds is that the alt mode is often completely an afterthought. They focus so much on the bot mode being super articulated and detailed, but then the transformation and alt. mode is rubbish. Especially since most 3Ps do Cybertronian versions of things, which means the alt. modes can already get away with being a random pile of robot parts on wheels.
>>

Which is the better TR deluxe, Triggerhappy or Topspin?
>>
>>6383748
I'd say Topspin just because Triggerhappy's arm mounted guns catch on his shoulder wings, making arm poses needlessly difficult. Only hard thing about Topspin is his back transformation, but at least it doesn't get in the way once it's done.
>>
>>6383313
I swear I think he was background fodder in tf4 in China
>>
>>6383748
Depends on what you want. Triggerhappy is sleek and Topspin is beef

But overall I think Topspin is the better figure. He reminds me of the pre-thrilling 30 Generations figures. If only he didn't have the headmaster shit.
>>
>>6383714

Is there any good reason to get TR Blitzwing and Octone? From what I've heard Optimus and Megatron were pretty poor and it doesn't look like Hasbro changed much other than heads and colors.
>>
>>6383767
If you like the way they look, they're fine.

They're both pretty good engineering wise, their only problems are the stickers that don't stick, and Megatron/Blitzwing skipping leg day.
>>
>>6383767
Complete your collection. Otherwise they suffer from ugly stickers, minimal articulation, and weird heads. Blitzwing is especially bad because his head has this shiny paint that is totally mismatched to the rest of the figure.
>>
>>6383773
this is a bit too picky, blitzwing's head is just as mismatched and weird as the g1 toy has, articulation could be waaaaaay worse.

Well that's DOTM done as part of my grand rewatching of the films before I see TLK.

For me this is a film of conflictions, I love all the space and cover up stuff and some of the scenes like the cybertron opening or the highway chase, Sentinel was probably the best movie villian, and there were moments that got some sort of response like the shuttle explosion or when the decepticons start their attack...
>>
>>6383987
DOTM has its fans, mainly those who seem to forget anything that isn't the robot scenes take up most of the movie. Even then, they squandered a lot of the robots terribly.
>>
>>6383987 ...But the film also has some things I don't like, mostly relating to the decepticons. For one, all the major decepticons go out like retarded chumps, Shockwave spazzes out about a parachute and then his eye falls out the socket just from getting shot by humans, Soundwave doesn't land a single shot in his "fight" against Bumblebee and the gets his head blown off, Starscream dies like a braindamaged bitch to sam of all things (as much as I like him killing both Starscream and Laserbeak is a bit much, should've been a autobot) , he just never should've gotten into that situation in the first place, and finally Megatron, I really thought there'd be a big fight between just him and optimus, but then he got a axe stuck in his head and then credits, it's like they ran out of time and just had to rush the ending. They shouldn't have wasted so much effort on the driller, the time spent on everything involving that should've been spent on fights. I dislike the way Ironhide died, not in the fact he didn't fight back, but in that he just stood there and didn't react at all to what sentinel was saying before he shot him.

Well it was nice to vent my gripes with the film, next up is AOE which I like over DOTM, so looking foward to it.

>>6384030
Well to be fair, that trailer is pretty dope and Squeeks in scooter mode is almost perfectly 1:18 scale so even if you never turn him into his stupid bot mode the toy would be useful.
>>
>>6383725
I dunno, I still put DotM above it.
But it was pretty solid.
Definitely hyped for TF6, and based on casting issues and plot points, I bet they go back to shia and have him return as some sort of full blown conspiracy nut a la simmons (and real life shia)

>>6383460
He seems to be one of the several "humanoid" transformers through the franchise who don't have designated alt modes, rather their bodies morph and change as needed.
Much like the "pretender" in TF2.
>>
>>6383395
We will need an MPM-03 repaint of this in the future.
>>
>>6384070
Wait. So you're putting Dotm above the first installment? Why is that?
>>
>>6383598
It looks like one of those used toys you always find at swap meets, with half the toy missing.
>>
>>6383598
I haven't seen anyone say anything positive about this anywhere.
>>
>>6384086
A literal insane asylum patient wrote a bunch of essays about these movies and convinced everyone that DOTM was actually deep and full of subtext. And then there's people who just like the action scenes a lot.

somewhere I have a small Optimus prime toy that I've had forever. At least I've always thought it was Optimus but it's black and it's a decepticon. Do any of you know about it? If I can find it I'll post pics
>>
>>6384086
It had Sentinel, the best movie villian, also the plot was taken from a g1 episode, when Megatron teleports cybertron to earths orbit to take the humans as slaves, Prime was brutal, but at least he had reasons after losing Cybertron and his closets comrade Ironhide (and Elita in the comic).

I fucking love the idea of Titans Return Twinferno, but I wish he was a decepticon? That alt mode would make for an amazing decepticon. I

For those wondering why Cogman doesn't use Headmaster abilities in the film. The scene where they point out he's a Headmaster was probably added later, since Hopkins mentions it out of frame implying this may have been added later.
>>

I love this guy.

In the movie he's basically Macho Man/Hulk Hogan.

Anyone got Squeeks and some various 1/12th figures (revo's, figma's, ML's, whatever) to compare to see if he can reasonably fit them? Don't give a shit about Bay garbage, but if he can function as a reasonably sized scooter for my other figures to ride around on, that'd be pretty good for his price.

I liked AOE minus Lucky Charms, so in many ways TLK was an improvement.

You get so much more robot focus here, loved it.

Spoilers, Ignore this post if you don't want to get spoiled.

Canopy is a Long Haul type transformer, the sub never transforms, there's also the tank bot, and a plane like robot in the castle (he's apparently pretty old, and trips over himself when he was about to start a fight with TFR)

Hot Rod sounds and looks great. How can Bee even last 5 seconds against Prime though he literally swatted hugeass Grimlock away with ONE HAND and was kind of winning against three major Decepticons in ROTF.

I really fucking hope that sword is not that rubber that bends under the weight of room humidity that Hasbro always uses.

Guy you were asking here
I have always felt, since the beginning, that the first movie was a bad movie.
The way they used megatron as an evil deus ex machina, the terrible shia meagan relationship, the cringeworthy parents (love the actors, just stuck out terribly)
In fact, the comedy as a whole
Bb pissing on simmons
Megs one liner as he kills jazz
So very much was bad.
I felt that by the time they got to dotm, they started having the cybertronians behaving like real people, rather than cartoons.

2007 was sorta a dry test run and at the same time the epitome of a summer american blockbuster, kinda like how Crisis 1 and Assassin's Creed 1 were tech demos but spawned a following despite its quality.
>>
>>6384492
To me once the movies went more cartoony they got better. Trying to be serious in the first 3 is what made them boring.

Hell, in this one we get Megatron getting a crew, Cons with personalities, 'Decepticons retreat!', ect.

The more they lean into cartoony, the better they are.

He appears in one episode of Victory, sharing screen time with Blue Bacchus, his bios have told more about him than that appearance.

Same here. I saw that movie when it was brand new and I still just never liked it, even as an impressionable teenager. Maybe if such a large portion of the movie wasn't devoted to comedy.

>>6384190

MPM looks like a cheap, oversized toy with all the flat black and yellow molded plastic.
Wei Jiang's MP BB looks like a proper masterpiece figure, with lots of painted details and chrome.
In fact, I thought the WJ one WAS the MPM at first, because the one on the left looks like such cheap shit.

Oh, and the WJ version is literally half the price. Go figure!
>>
>>6384775
The MPM apparently is painted, it just doesn't show up very well on camera.

I love the robots and designs we get from these but they seriously need to put the focus on the robots more as plot movers than eye candy.
>>
>>6384789
If that's true, instead of painting the yellow, they should have molded it out of gloss and done a silver detail sweep over the black.
Has/Tak can't do a proper all-over paint job to save their lives. I've never gotten a MP figure that didn't have dust and bubbles and shit all in the paint.

>>
>>6384733

Me too. Maybe as a subline that pops up occasionally or yearly box set or something. Same with the TR stuff. These concepts were fairly well executed this time around, and I do think they deserve some support beyond the shelf life of "this years gimmick".
>>
>>6382525
>Any critiques on CW Megatron?

Shoulders are terrible and look incredibly disjointed once you try articulating them at all
His legs are too skinny and look like shit
Oversized and doesn't fit well with the majority of CHUG

Literally the only things it has going for it are the paint job and the head sculpt.
>>
>>6384128

yep
>>
>>6384829
Cogman and Nitro are TR compatible, you know. There might be more figures with the gimmick around the time they make that Titan Class Scorponok.

They could also borrow the CW engineering for future movielines.
>>
>>6383767
The Voyager Optimus is probably one of my fav Voyagers in years and Megatron is cool so I'm definitely getting them.
>>
>>6384775
The only thing I would say against the Weijiang is that the doors' build is ugly compared to the MPM, that the back is kind of messy, and that the back bumper kibble on the calves is a little too wide; but everything else it does it better than the MPM and the second criticism goes out of the window when I see the fucking gun plugged into the MPM's ass instead of being the right arm transforming into it.
>>
>>6384829
I like a few figures from Titans Return, but as a whole I think Combiner Wars is a neater premise. There's a part of me that wishes we had gotten more core bot variants, maybe some RID Magnus style bots that became huge armor modes even.

I think if anything the quick transition to Titanmasters (instead of additional waves of CW) and adaptation of a linewide Titanmaster gimmick even for toys that weren't intended to be Titanmasters (like Galvatron and Alpha Trion) was possibly motivated by the movie and desires for corporate synergy.
