Transformers General

>Not downloading your toys

But there's not really any good transformer sales. Bbts has one, but they're not the good stuff.

>>5303984

Thats a good question. Maybe it's something they just don't do out of respect, or because shit would get really bad for everyone with 30 Megatron's trying to buttfuck each other to death with laser cannons to be the top dog. Or maybe the AI is sufficiently complex that they just can't do that.

nb4 that picture from the comics of Optimus' entire memories/personality being saved to a 1mb floppy disk.

>>5303977
Wonder if the fiction ever had transformers justifying the murder of organics on the fact that they don't have sparks and thus not really alive.

>>5303988

It's not Black Friday yet. Or Cyber Monday. But it's close.

>>5303990

They usually don't need justification as Decepticons. Remember, Megatron frequently has tried to just run roughshod over everyone/thing in the world and had a blatant disregard for lower lifeforms (ie: Anything not cybertronian, and frequently some things that were).

I've been thinking of getting superion from hlj

How long do order usually take to arrive?

>>5303990
There are severeal human deaths (and a dog named piss) in Victory and Masterforce, most just by autobot negligence.

Not an error!
This can easily be explained that Cybertronians have extremely good compression software

>>5303994
But all the sale ads are out already for stores.

>>5304002

The first run one. So grey/silver chest.

>>5304002
How would takara be able to make a cartoon accurate Onslaught AND Bruticus?

>>5304026
Takara is staffed by wizards and miracle workers.

Just got Takara Blackarachnia.

I have Generations Rhinox and Rattrap, are the now old, updated Cheetor and Dinobot toys any good? Are they even worth tracking down?

>>5304043
Dinobot isn't bad. The Hasbro one just has weird colors. Cheetor is bizarre, but not an awful figure. His cheetah mode is glorious.

>>5304043
Dinobot is good, but his colors aren't as accurate, go for the takara uf you can, Cheetor has a great Cheeta mode, but his botmode is pretty bad, short arms enclosed in shells, shitty weapon and a hunchback.

Did Hasbro say when results for the Titans poll would be out?

I work at Walmart and we have shit for toys here. If you depend on Walmart for toys let alone transformers then you need help.

>>5304063

Most people buy online anyway. I know I do.

>>5304063
Not every wal Mart is shit though. I live halfway between 2 and one is pretty shit. Doesn't even have warrior class. Just 1 step changers and the big vinyl ones. They do have deluxe CW stuff though

The other one has pretty much everything.

Just scored an almost complete energon prime for $25 shipped. Only missing one of the chest plates.

I'm so excited. I miss mine from back in the day.

>>5304050

>>5304026
if they have enough paint to do one side of the legs grey, it's doable. Since the only parts that contradict are those and the chest plate but the chest plate mostly hides itself in Onslaught's individual modes

What is the menasor cw leg fan mode that works? I thought it was turn the legs backwards, but the deluxe limbs are too wide to work.

>>5304002
Which ever one that has a space shuttle Blastoff.

Got the shapeways rodimus/blackjack gun axe adapter thing.

It's my first 3d printed product.

I expected grainy, but not sandpaper. I also feel like I'm going to break it because it feels so thin. Also I knew the yellow would be a bit bright, but it almost looks like it was white and then dipped in yellow Easter egg dye.

>>5304158
well it is breakways after all I dont know why /v/tards put so much faith in it

>>5304160
I just wanted the adapter. I mean yeah it works, but the quality sucks.

>>5304158

I believe Shapeways does in fact infuse dye into white material to make the colored plastics.

If you really can't stand the texture, pick up a can of filler primer from an auto parts store. A few coats of that plus some sanding should produce a nice smooth surface. Plus then you could repaint it whatever color you want.

>>5304151

This, to be frank.

>>5303978
>abandon all hope ye who enter Walmart.

As if there's any transformers toys worth buying at Walmart.

Last I was there they were still selling Age of Extinction shit.

>>5304186
Deluxe and Voyagers at sale compared to release?

>>5304117
The only thing I can suggest is to set Breakdown and Dragstrip as legs and keep their spoilers folded down, it gives Menasor some height. Otherwise, you can turn the legs around for G1-accuracy, but you'll lose the knees.

>>5304188
my point being Walmart doesn't have any.

I've been to five different walmarts over the course of the last two months (I moved recently), literally not a single thing released after Generations Rattrap to be found.

>>5304190
Okay cool. It's for my battle core prime. The only limbs I have right now are mirage and prowl. Waiting for wheeljack and hound to come out so I'll use wheeljack and mirage as the legs then.

>>5304192
Again. Just because your wal marts suck doesn't mean all wal marts suck.

>>5304188

>>5304193
You'll want some third party upgrades.

At the very least, you'll want Nonnef's hip ratchets (the Hasbro new hip ratchets don't help as much as people claim they do) and Perfect Effect's hands and feet. If you can't swing for both, then just get the hip ratchets.

>>5304196
I've checked them in Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, New York and Connecticut, so it's either Walmart's problem or an East Coast problem.

Wal Mart is always useless. Half of the time Target has good stuff, Toys R Us is usually your best bet for anything.

I've never seen CW Ultra Magnus in person though.

>>5303978 (OP)
So G2 Laser Prime used to have a different trailer (With Roller!). The preliminary box for this prototype is interesting. Read the blurbs!

>>5304330
And where's roller?

>>5304329

I'd like it because then he might have some actual articulation to him. I can tell you right now, if they keep too close to his original toy/design, we're going to be left with a toy that has abso-fucking-lutely useless arms, two legs that can be used for a small amount of positioning and nothing else, and a big tail that might have some articulation, but will most likely be a solid piece and used for some sort of base mode ramp or similar.

tl;dr Hope for a more human-esque design like WFC, so it has a better chance good articulation and poseability VS a fully t-rex body.

>>5304329
I would love if the Titan ditch the "mobile base" for a Nemesis ship.

>>5304346
THIS

With a display stand and info card

>>5304329
The WFC design is a mess and certainly won't be happening since Hasbro pretty much has give up on that design aesthetic. It's more likely we'll see something closer to the G1 version.

>>5304329
It would be humanoid enough for retool into a Scorponok.

>>5304346
The idea of Trypticon being the Nemesis is still really cool.
They almost explored that idea in Transformers Prime. but like alot of cool ideas in that show it never got fleshed out

>>5304364
Apparently that's because of the animation studio, they did there own thing.

>>5304329
I wouldn't like it. I don't want WFC shit. And I doubt they'd even be able to pull off the alt mode well. There's a lot more give for making a city/base alt mode than a specific looking ship.

Roadbuster and sky-byte are pretty cheap on amazon, are they worth it? I've heard they both had significant problems.

>>5304384
I recently bought roadbuster and whirl on hasbros eBay for $10 a piece and I really like road. I don't have any real issues other than his heels not being the best.

I do hate the stickers, but those are optional. The wreckers logo is awesome.

>>5304288
Me too. When I started my toy store I even homaged their logos. But let's be honest, it's a lot if things killing toys today. Companies can't meet a release date to save their lives, stores don't carry products, and customers are beyond cheap. It doesn't help that none of these parties sees anything wrong with how they operate. That leaves real collectors to suffer until they tire of carrying more and more dead weight.

The legends have just gotten bigger, right?

>>5304633

IIRC Legends are around 4-5" and Deluxe's are around 5-6"?

>>5304635
I think.
By the time of Prime and DOTM I had to stack almost 3 legends or two commanders before reaching a single deluxe's height, though then Generations didn't have their own legends scale.

>>5304636
Well legends now are just renamed scouts. So when you say legends do you mean legends of old before they were called legion?

>>5304640
Maybe I'd be more aware of the changes in size if the Thrilling 30s deluxes weren't fucking embarrassing or if my country's retailers had stocked the Insecticons.

Toy stores got them but for like double the price.
They look great but fuck that price.

How are the Generations Deluxe Seekers/Elite Seekers, /toy/? I'm looking at a lot deal for all 6 of them+Acid Storm, since I missed out on them back in the day. Any issues to be aware of, apparently one of them is a Henki first run and they had some mold issues with their arm guns or so the seller is saying?

Finally opened it after that official image of that Magnus retool and yeah even with all those articulations of the Generations version, it wouldn't have the charm of the G1 version.

>>5304695
>stubby arms
>tiny wings

It'd be a great toy if they'd stuck with the early Godbomber prototype, which had bigger arms and wings.

But the base robot still looks better than the new version. I hate the giant cab panels hanging off the arms because they couldn't fold them away or something, it looks really crappy just having them hanging off obtrusively like that. The greebled chest is out of place, it looks neither like Hi-Q nor Apex Armor. It's like that Bayformers chest panel on Magnus. The red hands also look kinda poor, so does the cheap light gray trailer, but they're probably sticking to the old Hasbro colors.

It's so odd they threw in so many visual cues to the G1 toy, but then had to fuck it up with greebles and kibble, making it look worse than something from 1988.

Maybe I can hope Tomy does some remolds, like a new chest piece? I know they'll have the silver plastic and blue hands but if they retain my two biggest issues, then not even an import's gonna help. I know I'll be accused of geewuning, I don't care, the new ones got some ugly parts that I think aren't going to make me get rid of my reissue anytime soon. Hell, that's actually got more play value with the smaller robot, but I could live without that if only they didn't add greebles and kibble.

I'm thinking of just going Legends. People seem to have good things to say of the Seekers at that scale. Oddly enough, I'm going to be picking up those 2 Insecticons as well.

Unfortunately, this is going to leave a ton of my Decepticons at Legends size. But then again scale was never the strong point of Transformers, but this does mean my Megatron (CW Leader, I love this guy so much) is truly going to tower over every other 'con I've got except Soundwave.

KOs are getting better, but let's not pretend that some of them aren't absolutely jank. They might be okay for someone who just wants to stick them on a shelf, but for people who regularly play with their toys, the different in quality is often noticeable.

>>5304972
For me buying a KO is wasting money and I'm not laughing at you for justifying it but I'm at a stage of just pitying you guys.

>>5304977
I already mentioned that I can get things extremely cheap cause I know a lot of people that are into the hobby. People in this thread assume just because I hate KO that I love wasting money paying full price. I rarely pay full price on anything and sometimes I do even get them for free. So for me paying $30 for a KO is a joke when if I ask around I could probably get a legit for $20 or even cheaper and paying $50 isn't bad at all and still beats paying full price for a KO even if it's only $30.

KOs always have sloppier paint apps and joints that are too loose or too tight. If you can't admit that knockoffs are flawed then you're a KOdrone, which is just as bad as being a Takaradrone.

>>5305008
Man, I hold myself to higher standards than those but I'd still love to do this to there.
Hell, MP Bee's KO had better matching colors than the original.

>>5304989
That's like saying nobody should ever buy a dog because some of them bite.

We're not talking about ALL KO's here, or even KO's in general, we're discussing very specifically the line of KO MP's that have come out following Lambor and the other carbots. They are all excelent molds, nearly identical, with great paint apps. No, they are not perfect. They do have more QC issues than the MPs. But they are still excellent toys more than worth thier price point.

IF you were able to get the Lamborghini or Datsun molds at retail price when they first came out, sure the difference of thier price versus quality compared to the KO is negligible.

But if you're trying to buy in the aftermaket now... $80-100 for Lambor versus $30 is a hell of lot of difference.

Seen some Scorias being sold without box on ebay. Is it a KO or just factory over runs?

That's a terrible analogy because for $20 more, you can get a dog that won't bite, and even if it does bite, you can probably negotiate an exchange with the seller. Also, you get your dog way sooner.

You're also not even refuting my point. My point is that KOs are not always identical. And it's true. I also never said people shouldn't buy them. It's just up to you if you want to save the money and wait for the KO, and hope that it doesn't have too many issues, or just import the thing from HLJ for a whopping 20 bucks more.

"only" $20, per MP. That adds up over time, dipshit. Only morons like Jin give a fuck about supporting the company anyway.

>quality

and how many official releases have had shitty quality too? The $70 TRU versions of some of the cars have been worse than the KOs.

99% of the flaws with these KOs would be avoided if they just had normal hands and 5mm pegs on the guns instead of that gimmicky poseable finger shit that can't grip guns properly to start with.

Okay so what the fuck is going on with Hasbro.

My Rid's Grimlock's arm broke in half, glued it together out of desperation. It now works perfectly fine without the ratchet joint.

Did they put a fucking RATCHET in a joint that didn't need one? For what fucking reason? Don't they usually try to avoid using money?

>>5305465
Well the RID warrior class has the strangest choices, I swear the warrior optmus mold's truck halves show signs they were made to swivel to show the fist better but looks like they canned that.

My gold armor grimlock hasn't had the issues the older release has, infact I'm going to tempt fate and grab one tommorow...surely the fact it came with a new lot would mean it'd be fixed, r-right?

>>5305467

Official pics flat out show the truck halve being able to spin out of the way.

It's like somebody is designing the toys but somewhere there is an employee going "hmmm no I'll fuck this little bit up for fun here".

Also, the RID Bumblebee, mine couldn't stand, I noticed on leg had the back-piece not flush completel yagainst the back of the leg, shaved some plastic, now it locks in perfectly and he uses the bits as heels and nothing making him fall on his back anymore.

I just got Megatronus and Fracture and I can't wait to see what fucking random flaw they have.

>>5305459

No, the brown will be the running change. We have the green one right now, but it's not as green as that photo, it's a more olive drab military style green.

>Did they put a fucking RATCHET in a joint that didn't need one? For what fucking reason? Don't they usually try to avoid using money?
Hasbro's been bad at that since AoE.

Fucking Generations Arcee with her twig arms has ratcheting elbows.

The Combiner Wars Dead End mold has ratchets for the flip out wrists.

Can't wait for the day Hasbro bothers to make a figure with articulated fingers again just so they can make those ratcheting as well.

Not enough space to make the system sturdy, neither enough resistence for the fingers to take it for long if you want to use hard plastic.

What if they just did the regular finger joints but made weapons with a side peg that slotted into the hand itself, thus retaining the ability to hold the weapon no matter how shitty the finger joints got?

And put the weapon peg on a lil' rotational/ball joint too, so it can be tilted/aimed better? This would kill compatiabilty with any things not using such a "open hand, peg in" system though.

It's one of those redecos that makes an average mold so much better. But it's still from DOTM, meaning its plastic is thin and light. Wouldn't pay beyond MSRP for him.

>What if they just did the regular finger joints but made weapons with a side peg that slotted into the hand itself, thus retaining the ability to hold the weapon no matter how shitty the finger joints got?
They did that with DOTM Megatron and worked fine on its shitty rubber mittens.

That one set of MechKek was a mess.
I came with Starscream and it couldn't do anything with it but jam it into its forearms and use it as a scepter.

both come out on Dec 12. I wonder which I get first.

I like Rook but seeing Groove in his place makes me realize he makes a pretty awkward limb.
Defensor looks great with the original team, not even a geewun fag.

>> get cash back just now
>> MP Bluestreak is out of stock at tf source
well fuck.

>>5305553

Honestly I think the Groove foot looks more awkward than Rook. I like the look of Defensor either way, just the police bike foot was always a bit goofy.

I wonder if Takara is going to somehow fix that fucking chestplate though. That thing comes off without fail unless you hold it with every limb movement.

FunPub is selling the last decent Botcon set for cheap, should I go for it? I dig the way they look aside from Megaplex, plus I already have the Sandstorm and Thundercracker releases from that year and have been wanting to get Skywarp for a while.

It's Autovolt. He likes the attention.

>>5305537
It has the cobra cape and fangs. Now the fangs are just a snake thing. Those aren't tusks.

I'll gladly buy the hands off you cause that's all I want from that kit.

::closes thread, moves on with my day::

Has bbts shipped any onslaughts yet? Or skywarps for that matter?

Platinum ed. Predaking and Covenant of Primus are on sale on Amazon right now, lightning deals, for anyone interested.

Watch them actually make his arms into tryps legs, flip him upside down, and make the legs into two halves of his upper body and head.

this isn't even about the attention, you guys are the ones who are obsessing over it.

>>5305564

I wish i had the access to order any of them.

>>5305615
Yes it is. Otherwise you wouldn't always post a picture to catch eyes. Thanks for taking off your stupid name, but you still need to work on how you post.

Fuck I want that 2015 box just for flame tits, but the rest are like unsellable.

New Thread.

Being a TF fan is suffering:
>Never saw any Combiner Wars stuff beyond the Stunticons
>Finally see new stuff
>Voyagers are Hot Spot/Cyclonus
>Deluxes are the fucking Masquerade Autobots

Another story:
>Decide to buy the CW Ultra Magnus on a whim.
>Find one on Amazon for a decent price
>page says it has 2 day shipping
>Place order
>never gives me 2 day shipping option

In my experience Forbidden Planet have terrible customer service.
>Phone Glasgow shop a few months back
>'Hi, I've bought Sailor Moon figuarts from here a few months back, I was wondering if you have anymore in stock?'
>Nope, we sold out months ago. Don't think we're getting anymore in for quite some time
>Go up like a day or 2 later
>Fucking Sailor Moon/Mars/Mercury either on shelves or in the window display.
The prices are insane too
>£70 for figma Sinon
>£95 for figma Solid Snake
And all the Transformers I've seen at the local shop are either movie stuff from 2007 (This was at the start of the year) Or RID 2.0/Wave 1 of CW.

>>What I was supposed to have today if the gave me the option, I won't get until next Wednesday after having to change my shipping address because it took so long.


I ordered a thing with two day shipping, fulfilled by amazon, like almost a week ago now. Still being prepared to ship, shit ain't worth the money if it takes it longer than the amount of days you want it to reach you to even be prepared to be shipped out.
