Transformers General

What if Transformers was good?

>>5308414

That is an option certainly. But I'm somewhat of a completionist if I want something.

Still, what I could do I guess is get a black set and a purple set, and just use those for Defensor and Menasor. Superion really is a solid rock all by himself.

>>5308432
it would be if we could have the japanese g1 tone, victory and master force are super robot wars as fuck.

>>5308437
But the Super Robot Wars games are boring shit that take forever to play just one level and are mountains of text.

All I want is for fucking Ultra Magnus to go on sale. I want him, I'm willing to pay MSRP for him, but I just want him to be on sale already. Even fucking Devastator went on sale before Black Friday, for shits sake, and usually big ticket items like that never go on sale.

>>5308428
dude Walmart was offering that game on PS4 and One for $20
It's 2 months old
how cheap is a good deal to you anons?

>>5308461
want toys not games

>>5308449
But Magnus usually is msrp on Amazon. Try the TRU site. Got him and battle core for 63 shipped.

>>5308461
Actually it was $25.

>>5308461

Do you like Bayonetta? If so, you'll love this. It's made by Platinum, they know how to make good beat'em up's, probably the best at making them among current day game companies.

>>5308464

I'll take a look, thanks.

>>5308466
apparently ours either did something different or made a mistake because they had it for $20 me and my brother grab a copy because it was so cheap

Question for anyone who has the Perfect Effect CW hands/feet: How poseable are the feet? Do they substantially boost your ability to pose the combiners?

>>5308474
The feet do well, you gotta play around with the hands but overall I just like them more than handfootgun that comes stock

>>5308467
>beat em ups

ITS A CHARACTER ACTION GAME. Streets of Rage is an example of a beat em up.

>>5308474
The feet add great height and ankle joints. The feet don't like to stay together so well and the ankles pop out though.

>>5308483
Know what a characte action game is?

It's a modern beat-em up.

>>5308486
>>5308479

Got any good examples of the poseability with the feet? It seems like every pic I find of them here always has them in some generic A stance.

What do you mean by the ankles pop out though? Do they just stay together poorly overall, or do you think it's just a QC issue?

>>5308490
Here's my defensor with the feet.

The ball ankle pegs just like to come out sometimes. When I first got the feet you wouldn't know they split, but after that first time they just aren't that sturdy. They're not bad by any means. Just gets annoying sometimes.

Idk if it's qc or overall. I only own one set.

>>5308489
No they aren't. Character action involves upgrading you learning new movesets(DMC, Bayo, MGR, TF:D). Modern beat em ups would be something like Castle Crashers where all you do is 'beat em up'.

>>5308502

That looks pretty decently stable. Maybe I'll spring for some of these.

>>5308502
How's the ankle joint on them? I could see that being the easiest point of failure if it's just the two of them holding the entire combiner's weight up by themselves. I'd half consider just gluing the halves of the feet together to be honest, not like I'm using them for anything else.

>>5308508
That's like saying team fortresses 2 isn't an fps because it has a class system.

>>5308614
The joints are fine, ball joints are higher quality then you'd expect although i prefer ratchets for ankle tilt. you won't have problems with floppiness or anything, mine don't fall apart could be other anons with qc issue.

>>5308614
Mine are fine, but some positions with defensor are too much because he's so heavy. Theyre not tight, but they aren't that loose.

>>5308508
No, Castle Crashers is a classic beat-em up, beause it's just that: a game where you beat up a series of foes as you progress through levels.

Character action games are the natural evolution of the Beat-em up genre. They add complexity and diversety to the mix.The fundaments are still there (progress through mostly linear levels, stoping at various choke points to finish off room-fuls of baddies to get to the boss at the end of the level, beat it, and move on).

Character action games add RPG elements of character growth, and some add light puzzle elements. The combat is ususally focused on style over effeciency. Where classic beat-em ups are focused on HP managament and effective zoning of foes, character action games use hit counters and style features to create a ranking system, rewarding you more for taking chances to deliver more impressive attacks.

The two genre are linked: not all beat-em up's are character action games, but all character action games ARE beat-em ups.

>>5308508
So Hyrule Warriors is a Character Action Game, got it.

>character action game

Are people making new game the same way tumblr creates new ways to identify their weird bullshit sexual identifications?

Regardless its action adventure, not this new fancy bullshit term, christ, I'd be happier to accept its a beat em up over "character action game".

Of course its got characters, even car racing games have characters in most cases (not all of course like older gran turismo games)

Ok, that's enough ranting, back to /toy/ we go

Is nightbird worth $25? I have no interest in Arcee, but Nightbird looks nice. Hell I have no idea who she is rither, but I like the colors and melee weapons.

>>5308649
Character Action has been a term for a while, man.

>>5308483
It's a hack n slash w/ 3rd person shooter elements you pretentious homo

>>5308658
I'd say it's worth a shot if you're interested. Just remember it's an import and you could get a voyager for about the same price. But then I bought Cloud Rodimus when he was $100 and he was still just a voyager toy.

>>5308658
I feel that the arcee mold is actually quite a nice mold for a female-robot. Fat thighs and all. If you prefer the nightbird deco over arcee, then go ahead, get the cyborg ninja.

>>5308671

Fat thighs are awesome. Thick girls are never a bad thing, long as they don't bridge the gap to whale.

And to keep the post Transformer related, whats a good price for the PF hands/feet? Just so I don't get too bilked on price.

>>5308678
You won't find the set at less than $34-$40. The official price is the lowest you'll get unless you find used.

Never heard this term before this thread and I've been gaming since the 80's. Stop trying to invent fancy labels for everything. It's the modern day beat'em up. Hell, half the stuff you listed as "character whatever" shit before was present in fucking River City Ransom. And that game was a beat'em up.

And to keep things Transformers related, because thats what the thread is about and not video game genre definitions, what are some good but under-appreciated/cheap Generations Decepticon figures? CHUG if possible.

>>5308737
I had a bit of a google, earliest use I can find is 2013 in a giant bomb thread debating its existence.

What a world we live in, I still call it an action game rather than bother with sub genres.

>>5308736
Still more a fan of grand scourge but least you can draw a face to menasor.

Nicely done

>>5308737
>>5308743
Character Action Game is a title used to describe any game in which combat is the main focus, usually possessing ranking and combo systems, and having some sort of "hidden depth" aka shit the game doesn't tell you.

It's most commonly used to describe the bulk of Platinum's work, though titles like God of War would also apply.

Prowl being a member instead of a helichopper is actually a pretty great idea.

Just do it as well as me. I just buy them whenever I get money and I don't rush them. I currently have the white hands and feet and Menasor's torso and head upgrade. Since I got Defensor the other day I'm looking into getting the Black version now and in a few weeks I'm probably getting the purple just for when ever complete my Menasor.

Your trolling sucks since this exact same question has been answered multiple times.

>>5308884
Most of the autobots were shit in energon.

It was like power armor people and up that were good toys on the autobot side.

Voyager and lower were shit.

Cons were mostly fine though. I'd say they got solid releases since they lacked the shitty combo gimmick.

>>5308901
>>5308890

Retool into Predaking? Just add a few more points to the chest piece, remove the white bit sticking out in the center and replace it with a lion head.

>>5308902
Which is why they usually release the Autobot version of the torso mold such as was the case for Optimus Prime/Motormaster and HotSpot/Onslaught and why we are getting Sentinel Prime first before Astrotrain.

>>5308915
Is he the same guy who made all those Metalhawks from the FOC Fireflight mold?

>>5308649
>gran autismo

>>5309074

I can see why they'd release Optimus first, but Hotspot over Onslaught and Sentinal Prime over Astrotrain?

Are some no-name Autobots REALLY going to sell better than fairly prolific Decepticons? I mean, Defensor certainly isn't more well known than Bruticus, and I don't think any normal person would know who the fuck Sentinal Prime is, whereas Astrotrain is somewhat well known. Not Starscream or Soundwave level, but he's still up there.

>>5309077
That's the one!

>>5309194
>I don't think any normal person would know who the fuck Sentinal Prime is
The name is familiar to most people, no? he was in DOTM.

>>5309194
>I don't think any normal person would know who the fuck Sentinal Prime is, whereas Astrotrain is somewhat well known.
Sentinel Prime appeared in a movie, Astrotrain didn't.

What actually has Astrotrain been in besides comics in recent years?

>MP Ultra Mangus for 70, also with free shipping

Not falling for it, China.

>>5309196

I don't know anyone who saw that movie aside from one uncle who literally will watch any movie, no matter how terrible. He literally spends his entire day watching fucking Syfy originals and Chiller originals.

>>5309197
Nothing important, and his last normal release was almost a decade ago.

>>5309196
Not to mention TFA.

Astrotrain hasn't been a name since his classics.

>>5309199
The box office says otherwise.

You know what really pisses me off about Transformers: Devastation? They go to all this effort to make a G1 game but then some moron decided to make Megaton's alt mode a tank instead of a G1 accurate gun. This brought the game down from a 9/10 to a 2/10

>>5309589
Megatron being a gun is the stupidest fucking thing ever. It's like if Darth Vader became his own lightsaber to be wielded by some random Stormtrooper.

A tank is just better in every conceivable way.

>>5309589
For a start gun laws make it difficult in this tumblr infested world.

Next, its accurate to the CW toy at least, this game does market to an extent, look at bumblebee and his alt mode, you know volkswagon are iffy with that and getting the mp going was hard enough.

>>5309589
Pretty sure it's Hasbro Mandate at this point that there are no realistic gun transformers, so Platinum couldn't do it if they wanted to. That and Tank Megs is just better in every way.

Honestly, any size changing altmode just felt stupid to me. I'd honestly prefer it if Soundwave had an altmode like the Animated version with enough space in the back to hold his minions. Look at how great RtS Preceptor turned out.

>>5309591

A smaller gun mode would be fine as long as they had an explanation for it. A simple "When he's in full gun mode he can reroute all excess power output to the energy blast and focus the blast better, meaning far more destructive capability" would be completely acceptable to most people and rationalize why a 30ft tall robot would shrink itself down to a handgun.

That said, I like tank Megatron quite a bit as long as he keeps a CHUG design to his robot mode.

>>5309602
I like what TF:Prime did and have Soundwave's alt mode be a drone. It really fits his whole surveillance theme

>>5309624

Wasn't his weapon.

thats probably the only crossover figure that looks fine imo.

only one i own is venom and its okay. transforming him back to muscle car is a fucking bitch though

>>5309816

Defensor has minor hip problems at best, it might be a QC issue with you. Worst you'll usually see is the locking tab you slot the legs into doesn't lock super securely. His real problem is his chest shield, it never wants to stay tabbed in if you ever move his arms, you need to hold the shield.

>>5309813

Just buy your stuff online man. Menasor limbs aren't expensive unless you want Wildrider because the fucking assholes made him an "exclusive" in the US. I saved myself the trouble and just got a UW Menasor rather than have my wallet raped by scalpers just to get the original team together, and then bought Offroad seperate just to have, since he is cheap as fuck.

>>5309807

>stubby teeth and claws
What? Was this actually a difference between the takara and hasbro versions or are you saying MP Grimlock just has stubby teeth and claws?

>>5309840
Definitely.

Chewie/Han Falcon is alright-ish.

>>5309853

He's the worst of all the combiners in terms of poseability, but he's not that bad overall. It's like comparing an excellent figure to an average one. He's definitely worth a buy.

Blackjack is pretty optional though, I don't own him yet. Gonna nab him though. But you WILL have to sand some shit to get him to fit on properly because not even the Takara Menasor version looks like it's going to peg properly in with Blackjack.

>>5309856
Neat that they combine together. I own the droid that turns into the droid carrier from the prequels and it's a solid figure.

>>5309856
that looks nothin like han solo holy shit

vehicle mode is bad ass though so i give it a 7.5/10

>>5309846
Yes,the hasbro releases teeth are filed dowd to flat tops(theres spaces missing when the mouth is closed if you look closely ) and the claws are rounded and blunted.

I don't really see how you could make a Magnus figure without making him hollow to some degree, given what his alt-mode is.

But yes he's worth it if you want him.

>>5310234

No idea, but theres been rumors he'd get a figure. I dunno. I just hope the rumors about the '86 Movie cast getting some newer molds is true. I want a Hot Rod/Rodimus that isn't the tiny Legends CW one.

>>5310232
If you're going to spend $80, just get the Japanese version. Better deco, and it's actually Ultra Magnus instead of minicon power armor that just looks like him.

>>5310262
Takara Magnus is Alpha Trion's power armor, though.

Its the exact same toy. It's alpha trion in the cockpit this time.

Why do people keep saying this? just because the Lynx head looks slightly similiar to LioKaiser's one? What about Leozack's robot mode? It's nothing like his jet mode either.

>>5310663
liozack's main body would work better with airraid's body.

But this is retool wars, maybe they can slap on some new wings, modifiy the head and somehow retool it so he can be bi-pedal.

Otherwise he'd end up as a strange abominus retooling, either way creative liberties are required

>>5310590
That doesn't address my main issue with the toy at all though, that just gives you a half-assed Lynx.

My main beef with the figure is that it's an inseparable crawler and space shuttle. From a play value standpoint, that's awful.

>>5310667
On the one hand, I agree. Sky Lynx was a favorite of mine and I think his G1 figure is still rad as hell, so the fact that they don't separate is a disappointment. On the OTHER hand, the fact that we got a Sky Lynx at ALL in TYOOL 2015 is amazing and no one saw it coming. Maybe if he sells well, in a year or two we'll get a proper Sky Lynx.

>>5310667
It might be combiner wars but unless they made him as a leader class so he can do his own thing then...well yeah.

The ability to recreate the pure g1 skylynx was lost we we heard about skyreign, what we do have is the best modern attempt at skylynx, his main issue is the separation and a half arsed lynx.

I can live with this.

>>5310667
>>5310672
>>5310675
Wouldn't Titan Returns be a better fit for Sky Lynx? Make him some sort of carrier instead of a combiner.

I guess someone on the design team jumped the gun and pulled out the Sky Lynx card too early.

>>5310687

They already had the Silverbolt laying around to remold.

>>5310688
Isn't it a bit too heavy to be a silverbolt mold?

>>5310691

Honestly, looking at the body, it looks pretty similar to Superion. Look at the "legs" (aka Silverbolts arms/Skylynx's front legs?), they look pretty similar. The general body shape in combiner mode is pretty similar too. Chestplate might be reminiscent of it.

It could actually be based off the Silverbolt body, just really heavily remolded.

My new Dreadwing might need a bit of the ol' future shine though. His legs are a little looser than I'd have thought, same with his arm...Twig. Things. Posts? Whatever.

Not the worst fig I've pulled out of a pack since starting my collection, but he is a biiiit looser than I anticipated in his joints.

I got my first copy of the Dead End/Streetwise mold. Fun figure, but I wanted to know: Are there any issues or fanmodes I should know about when it comes to this toy?

>>5310788

The legs might be a little loose pegging together when they should be fairly tight. Other than that, I dunno.

Yeah, same. I just grew attached to the design from Megatron, then Dreadwing uses the body, and it just looks too much like Megatronus with a different head. I really prefer Megatron anyway, I love the space-black with the purple lines.

>>5310743
Neither did I, you had to catch him online. But last I checked, his price went up to like $40 or something now.

>>5310612
I hate it. I think its dumb as rocks. If they were going to make an ass ton of autobot combiners they could have at least made them dinobots. Hasbro is just avoiding making decepticon combiners. And when they do they get shafted.

>>5310832

They probably don't want to do beast Transformers again because they aren't as remoldable as cars/trucks/etc. And most of the remaining G1 Decepticon combiners are animals/marine life.

>>5310814
Indeed.
It looks way better than superion.
Damn.
They better retool this as abominus or piranacon...

>>5310845
So why didn't they remold the planes and cars as technobots?
I'm sure more people would rather have computron than half-assed victorion.

>>5310853
>>5310853
This. Instead of pointless autobots we already had why not make technobots instead?

>>5310845
Yeah, but why not do an OC combiner like the Battlecore prime one, or Sky Reign for the Decepticons?

Cyclonus as Dreadwing, the arielbot jet molds as the G2 Cyberjets and Smokejumper (you can even do Hooligan's forward swept wings with the Air Raid mold just by flipping sides, though it makes the missles point backward, maybe tool that out). Call the whole thing Dark Wind.

>>5310853
I'm guessing that they thought that if they did release a computron, naturally people would want an abominus to go with him

>>5310865
>Hooligan

Space Case, sorry.

Anyone else planning team configurations?

>if they did release a computron, naturally people would want an abominus to go with him
Huh, that might just be the reason why we don't have Compy. Yeah, we have two bullshit teams of non-combiner Autobots, but every G1 gestalt they -have- released has had their sparring partner put out.

>Superion - Menasor
>Defensor - Bruticus
>even Devastator - Omega Supreme is planned

>>5310652
>>5310653
I know nothing has been really planned for it (and probably will never happen), but with SkyLynx's model and configuration (along with minor and major retooling), would it be possible to get Hun'Grr and/or SnapTrap/HalfShell for the Terrorcons and Seacons respectively?

>>5310870

No.

I will probably never ever put SkyLynx in torso mode.

>>5310867
And that's bad because?

Fucking hasbro. Avoiding demands for their products.

>>5310653
>>5310652

Dang. Sky Lynx looks better than I would have thought. Hopefully Takara puts him out as some crazy ass Japanese transforner.

>>5310876
Enjoy your Betabominus and Betaranacon.

>>5310883
And Betaking

Kek.

>Would be the greatest combiner ever created, but is so shy and insecure that he rarely assembles.

>>5310891
And when he assembles, he gets intimidated by alpha bravo.

Ditto.

But considering how he works as a torso, sky lynx is almost the most perfect toy in this whole combiner wars series.

This is kinda cute...

>>5310922

Even if they do get a release they'll just be remolds and you'll bitch anyway.

We didn't fall for this the first time. The smart people didn't at least.

>>5308782

He makes a better leg though. Ideally you should have Streetwise or a second Rook making up one of the arms.

>>5310940
Infact, the "models" come from a TFW2005 thread on the proof of concept of a CW Terrorcon team.
