It's Biotron from Micronauts, but... yes.

Huh, I guess I didn't realize Movie 4 Bee was an old Camero. I assumed he was one of those modern retro cars that seem to be the thing these days.

Probably not, but you'll most definitely find someone willing to split a set. I've already seen people who only want Rom or Action Man or Roadblock.

>>6413217
Kind of annoying when they do stuff like this...
Instead of getting the attention of hard core Jetfire fans, they are just warding them off by offering a version of the figure they likely already have.
At least make something exclusive about the deco.

Also,Boulder Media is working on TF G1 2D cartoon reboot and Micronauts cartoon for 2018 so we can expect new toys. Visionaries is going to get a cartoon too with M.A.S.K. and G.I.Joe with ROM will get only movies.
The movies will start from 2020 with G.I.Joe reboot.

The truck grill forms the underside of his feet and has a few moving parts. They decided all of that should be chrome.

It's a nice leader but it's definitely outdated and pretty bulky. The chrome nightmare they added is gonna mean he'll be one of those "transform maybe once, pick a pose, put him on your shelf and never touch again" guys.

It was a short lived 80s toy/tv show. The show was live action and had a toy interaction gimmick. The toy vehicles were fighter spaceships with infrared immitters and receivers that were used as sort of a laser tag game. You could fire at eachother, and three hits would eject your pilot. On the tv show, a target(or multiple targets) would appear and you'd try to hit them, while certain patterns of light in the screen would trigger your reciever and give you a hit.

It was a cool idea in concept, but the technology wasn't quite there and the tv interaction feature didn't work particularly well. Still fun toys tho.

>>6413670
Sounds familiar. I think I remember reading an article about it in an old ToyFare back in the day.

Because Hasbro wanted Liokaiser to retain the utility of having hands and feet that are interchangeable and can turn into guns.

Just got Voyager TLK Hound today, is he impossible to stand for anyone else? I love his wheel splitting feet, but it doesn't seem like he has any heels at all...

>>6413227
Jetfire is more for the TF casuals who are intrigued by him. Next to soundwave, JEtfire is one of the biggest casual baits for anyone interested in G1, because his design is so iconic and its ties to Macross/Robotech.

It is funny to think how this is basically Hasbro's scalps from aquisitions of other company's toylines.Rom was fromParker brothers, which merged with Kenner, and then Hasbro. Action Man was licensed to Palitoy, which then got incorporated into GI Joe, and Palitoy was merged with Hasbro. Micronats were also from takara, licensed by Mego, which is now dead. Hasbro and TakaraTomy are BFFs, so no surprise they'd get the license eventually. MASK was Kenner, also acquired by Hasbro. Jetfire was, again, a Takatoku toys figure based off Macross' VF-1S. So out of the whole box set, only the GI Joe and Visionaries representatives are wholly original.

Also, its actually really cool, and I'm gonna buy a set. I'm glad I drug my feet on Jetfire now.

I've said it a couple times, but 2007 Optimus is still a pretty impressive figure,and if he wasn't meant to be the movie design specifically, just a new Optimus for a new line, I think he'd be better regarded. He's a bit kibbly, but his vehicle mode was really impressive and event hough he doesn't replicate the movie details perfectly, the amount of detail work on him was incredible.

Yeah the Basics/Scouts line was great. we had over a decade of generally good figures. They kept killing the size class and bringing it back, but every time they came back, it was a treat. In Beast wars, they evolved from gimmicky but fin things, to impressively engineered figures. They were dead in RiD and armada, relegated to repaints or minicons, but then the energon Omnicons were full of cool ideas and fresh transformations,and honestly held up better than a lot of other Armada/Energon figures. then Cybertron continued to improve. The first movie line had the Real gear stuff, which was cool, but not quite the same. Sat out Classics and Animated. Then we got the glorious return in ROTF. SAdly, it feels like Cyberverse killed it. And I liked Cyberverse, but losing Scouts was a shame.

>>6413169
No. Legends are absolutely not the same. Just look at the two windcharagers and tell me they're honestly the same, even accounting for size changes with classes in the last few years. I like Legends and all, but Scouts were better, and the fact that people are willing to just roll over and accept Legends quality for higher and higher prices is sad. As much as sizes have decreased and fluctuated, you still get, say, Deluxes as big as Beast era or movie 1 deluxes(UT and ROTF were freakishly big, and more of an exception, not the rule.), not many, but we do. We still get Voyagers around the size of past $15 or $20 figures. Legends are too big a hit from scouts for me to count them as the same.

>>6413806
>Just look at the two windcharagers
Oh c'mon thats unfair, RTS Windcharger is still one of the best scouts ever, its like comparing any voyager to Gen Springer.

Its not so much a question of quality, but just size and construction. There's Legends better than scouts. But its clear to see the sizes of the two are completely different, even accounting for budget cuts.

>>6413847
Well, that figure turns specifically into a wolverine(probably the only transforming figure with a wolverine mode I know of), which is where the X-men thing comes up.

>>6413806
I actually like the Legends Windcharger more. He actually looks like Windcharger instead of a generic carformer with the hood-chest dealie. I'm an apologist for that mold, though. I think it gets a bad rap.

I hope they do a silver version or something. I'd buy him for the robot mode alone but christ, Hasbro cannot do weathering to save their lives.

Maybe Takara might do something cool?

I bought my first Transformer tonight, Titans Return Hot Rod. I'm not super enamored with his robot mode but the car form a neat little thing and really fun to fiddle around with.

My wallet is fucked isn't it?

>>6413171

I've always had the leg of that thing and NEVER could find what it's from.

>>6413942
That's Hawk MIDI, or Energon Divebomb for the US.

>>6413890
yeah central canada, derpmart

so now that we have decent deluxe class toys for Krok and Misfire, who else is going to try to put together the Scavengers? I'm thinking about turning a CW First Aid into Crankcase, but I'm not totally sure what route to go for Spinister.

Whats all this about Trypticon having bad hips?

>>6414050
He used to be a high flying luchador and y'know, eventually that just catches up with ya.

>>6414041
I am. Already got my Funpub Crankcase & Spinister and my TR Krok with my preorder on Misfire.

Yes. My devious intentions are to make people buy excellent figures. Although if you already have Wheeljack, you don't really need him. He's pretty good to fill out your Decepticon ranks, though. But if you're gonna get him, you may as well get Loudpedal. They make a great pair.

Nice. The new Hotrod is decent, but theres a lot better TR figures out there. I'd say grab Topspin, Hardhead, or Triggerhappy if you can.

>>6414094
I don't consider it to be Flywheels. I consider it to be a new character that happens to be Flywheels' Titan Master. Like Clobber is to Grimlock. Probably too headcanon, but I'd still prefer a full-body Flywheels regardless.

>>6414050

His leg ratchets break just from use because the plastic in them is too weak and the spring is too strong.

Kind of a shame Trailbreaker/cutter is dead. He's such a neat character. A big dude with a unique ability who underestimates his own worth and has a bit of a drinking problem. I like the idea of a big, black truck with forcefields, but his G1 design with the all-black face is fucking rubbish, so I'm not looking forward to his MP, and his Generations figure was kind of mediocre at best.

The comics are really killhappy. Kinda weird though that they do some many IDW styled toys though, when IDW has a habit of killing a lot of the guys that got figures based on those designs.

Bummer about kaput though.

>>6414173

They are and they aren't. They kill without remorse at times, but other characters keep cheating death to the point that it becomes annoying. I think in the grand scheme of comic death applications, they're in the middle of the road.

I still would love to get a Tarn figure from Hasbro.

>>6413317
TLK still did well enough to warrant more movies being made
but because of the set up, that they're returning to cybertron to rebuild it, the next one can conceivably involve A) an almost entirely new team B) new humans and C) Optimus as a diplomatic leader of his people instead of a warrior

Next one could definitely take place a few years later with cybertronians sharing tech with humans, giving the whole movie a more futuristic feel a la the original cartoon movie.

You've already got a 3P one by MMC, and an official-but-not-by-Hasbro-non-transforming (of a guy who was addicted to transformation) figure coming.

>>6414402
I have the 3rd party one and will preorder the Flame Toys one as soon as I can but I'd love to see what Hasbro shits out of him.

>>6414424

I don't think Hasbro is gonna do the TF equivalent of a gestapo officer who literally shoved people into an oven, said oven also being one of his team mates, in a line meant for kids.

>>6414430
Ive heard that so many times and is ridiculous when you consider Megatron is basically robot Hitler and they just put out Overlord who is arguably more horrible in every possible way than Tarn.

>>6414430
Overlord is just as bad as Tarn and they made him.

>>6414441
>>6414437

...True. Ok, sure. I'd like an official Tarn too. And Kaon. And Nickel.

>>6414445
I'd love any of them I could get at this point.

>>6413192
So, are these little things the first Micronauts toys released during the IDW comic run?
It's just kind of funny that a comic based so closely on a toyline is well... toylineless at the moment.

Outside of budget restraints if you want the DJD you might as well just get the MMC ones.

>>6414449

Not so weird when you consider the past few toy lines for TF's have been trying to re-create toys from the 80's that haven't had a show to support them in ages that actually matched that aesthetic.

A bit weirder is them calling GI Joe their crown jewel, when that property has been on life support ever since we hit the 90's.

>>6414453
>A bit weirder is them calling GI Joe their crown jewel, when that property has been on life support ever since we hit the 90's.
Isn't that because one of the higher ups loves it and has been using profits from the other franchises to keep it alive?

>>6414463

No idea. Anyone know how well GI Joe is doing? I know they dropped off hard after the 80's, and I don't think anyone is so fond of GI Joe EXXXXXXTRREEEEEMMMEEEE in the same way G2 TF's are kind of met with a "meh" reaction outside of stuff like yellow Devastator.

You are probably thinking of FunPub. They only got the TF license after the previous con runners botched things up in '03/'04 because they already had the Joe license and Hasbro made them take TF or risk losing Joe.

Guy who ran FunPub was a huge Joe fan, and did not care about or understand Transformers, but often siphoned off money they got from the convention to fund the Joe ones.

Most likely a peg hole to match the previous 2 will be present
>Looks the same as Hasbro's version
Subtle changes, the biceps are in red now (TR was black), the flap inside the chest panel is red instead of silver, autobot symbol on chest door rather than belly button, and blue eyes forhead yellow rather than tr's yellow eyes UNPAINTED forhead, a slash of silver wouldn't of been hard but they got lazy.

I got mp Road rage for 25% off, pretty sweet.

A few issues though, Vehicle mode has a big gap between the window and the hood that my Tracks doesn't have, and one wheel always seems to be off the ground.

I also don't like how there's no where on vehicle mode (not flight mode before someone fails to be smart) for the new gun to sit, lame.

>>6414724
>and one wheel always seems to be off the ground.

That's probably because you don't have the legs straightened up properly. Nothing really locks the legs into an exact position in vehicle mode (or at least not well) so if the hip joints and thigh swivels aren't at the perfect angle you won't get all four wheels to touch in vehicle mode. It's a good idea while transforming to leave the legs for the last step and set her down on a flat surface to see if all the wheels are touching before fitting everything into place. If they don't then just twist the legs a little or something.

Tracks gets the same problem too but it's a lot easier to mess up the transformation with RoadRage for whatever reason. I'll sometimes have it happen with tracks but I have to actively make sure the legs are straight on Road Rage each time, It's really strange.

On that little flip out rocket launcher thing (I don't know what the fuck you'd call it) there's a little screw, and it's basically in a perfect spot to store the gun in vehicle mode.

I say that is a lot better than Triggerhappy and misfire.
Still on the fence. The price between TR and LG is not that big of difference over here.
But I rather go with the normal gun and not the targetmaster.

Yeah, making him a headmaster for one.

>>6414765
>>6414794
Hasbro got a fixed price and size for their figures, so they probably couldn't afford to make the figure bigger.
Takara could have retooled it, but doing that along with a Targetmaster would have made it VERY expensive.

>>6414811
Because hasbro worked ALONG side takara, all the abuse of diecast metal that's left fully exposed, lack of one off gimmick accessories takara throws in for that touch of love, no biocard or character history on the manuals...

It seems like hasbro said "here design this" and for every time they put too much in they kicked them in the nuts because MUH DOLLARZ

Not to mention adding a cockpit or making it bigger would be practically making a new figure and we knew from past experience with Ginrai/Blast-off/Groove that their budgets as well as their schedule for bringing the stuff out are much less than Hasbro's.

Transformation is intuitive without being simplified. This is some HFTD-era engineering, and he even pulls a 'Sea Spray' in the way he folds out.

Oh also, even though promo shots show Voyager Megatron's sword having a silly red handle, the final product does not have this.

TR Slugslinger's gun seems quite okay, really. I wonder if it's even a gunsled. My main worry about the TR version is the local shelves skipping that last wave.

But thats not Spike headmaster armor, weird they f'up there, Bee transluent shouders are nice, but they should've added a hinge to bendthem inwards, the huge shoulders are the main issue of that mold, so an easy pass.

>>6414866
Simple really, while alot of these new target master figures homage both rebirth and japanese g1 exosuit's would be more recognizable (and more eye catching color wise) that the headmaster armor.

The legends comic will explain it as an upgrade to the exosuit anyway even though the colors of the head don't mesh at all

>lack of one off gimmick accessories takara throws in
I kind of hate those accessories. I really had no issue with when MP figures used to come with a weapon or two and that was it. I feel no need to have a bunch of random little bits whose only purpose is to recreate "that one time in that one episode"

Especially since MPs now seem to be using all this crap as an excuse to hike their price up.

>>6414874
So...more diecast and less accessorys at a higher price is better?

As nice as mpm bumblebee is he ain't worth more than mp sideswipe or any other mp car

>>6414041
>>6414868
Seconding this, that mold is still incredibly tight for modern standards.

>>6414869
Yeah still not buy it, accuracy is my main reason to get Takara stuff, also that translucent headmaster head, not sure if the tiny translucent neck will hold.

>>6414879
I don't really feel strongly one way or another about the MPMs. I was just replying to your comment about accessories on MPs in general.

>>6414883
Well it is accuracte...but not strictly to how it was in the show.

As for the starscream head yeah I'd be a bit worried, sure the head would be dense and not as prone to shattering but making it regular solid plastic may have been a better choice

>>6414712
Sky Shadow is built better and feels more solid.
Overlord has loose joints and the wings feel like cheap plastic

>>6414707
Aren't they more like.... Prepaints?

>>6414933
The term still applies even in sentinels case, I would suspect the head components are part of the same runners, but I don't know this for sure, if the head components are on a separate runner (which would better help for lg lio convoy's case) then they would be a repaint with a new accessory.

For scourge/highbrow/windblade's case those are retool/pretools despite the heavy modification, unless we want to think up a new term other than the overly long "recycled parts/engineering"

>>6414767
The Titan Master head looks terrifying, but glad I can get my Fort Max the hasbro-ish head.

I keep thinking that one of these days I'm going to stop seeing the appeal of robots that turn into vehicles and shit, and I'm going to wake up and stare at my shelf of useless plastic and think "What a fucking waste", but it hasn't happened yet.

I'm not even that much of a toy guy in general. I really only like transformers because they transform, and it adds that extra layer of depth and intrigue. I'll buy other action figures, even ones of characters I fucking love, but it doesn't matter how detailed or articulated they are, I eventually lose interest and pack them away or sell them to make room for another Transformer.

Anyone else the same way?

I was like that with gundams, only got off them because of transformers.

For me I have an addictive personality but I'm actively scaling back, I'm hoping I can get to a point where I only buy mp's due to the lesser amount of them released a year, I got basically all the characters I want and anything in the next line has to be something special (a new optimus primal toy for example would be an instant skip, but give me a combiner abominus and here we go again).

That and I long for my holy grails list which will make me quit cold turkey.

Just remember to unscrew Spike and change his head for any non translucid noggin.

It's because people inherently like acquiring new things. So you look at your old stuff, and you see it as something that, while you may like, doesn't interest you anymore. So you want new stuff. Happens to everyone, really. It's a facet of human nature. Hunter/gatherer shit, I dunno.

Except it's not like that with Transformers. I never really get bored with them. I lose interest in most action figures I buy inside the course of a month, but a good Transformer will hold my interest for years. I only ever really swap them out of my display because I have no more room and I don't want to look like a hoarder will a clusterfuck wall of plastic.

Oh no, a toy costs a few dollars more than it did 5-7 years ago. Insane how inflation keeps raising relative costs isn't it? Guessing you're still in high school waiting for economics?

Don't like the toy, don't buy it. Those of us that do, we're gonna pick them up. It's almost like we all have a choice in what to buy. That's almost like the opposite of sad.
