This guy was the first transformer I ever had way back in G1. So he's always been my favorite.

Was so happy when his MP came out.

Overall? Devastator, Megatron, Snap Dragon and Apeface

I'm more of an Autobot guy.

>>5317266

Every time I see that picture it looks like they're gonna go out back to toss a football.

Also, Megatron's my favorite.

Have there been any good Rumble, Ravage, Frenzy, Lazerbeak figures that aren't too expensive?

>>5317276
How is Apeface? I've had Snapdragon for almost a decade now and love him but I've never bothered to pick up his partner.

>>5317267
my first was skullcruncher so i'm pretty hyped for the new deluxe

It's going to sound cliche as fuck, but I adore Shockwave and Soundwave.

Their designs tickle all my bones.

Now them personality wise? I prefer the TFA version of Shockwave. He is fucking glorious in design and personality.

I prefer Prime Soundwave. Not the design really, but even though I miss his voice I thought they did the silent type well.

Speaking of cons. You know what I really want?

A legends Soundwave. I'm not a huge fan of legends, but I do have Megatron, Starscream, and now Shockwave is in the mail. It doesn't feel right not to have a Soundwave to go with them.

It's like getting figures of all the members of a band except the drummer.

>>5317303

They'll probably make one at some point.

>>5317284
Titan Wars should be coming out with some in due time. Legends Eject, Buzzsaw, and Stripes are practically guaranteed to be done as Frenzy/Rumble, Laserbeak, and Ravage.

There's also kos of the masterpiece cassettes that are supposed to be decent quality, but they only have buzzsaw, no laserbeak.

Universe Ravage (the one that came with Hound) is pretty good, too, but him and Hound go for retardedly high prices.

>>5317304
I hope so. I don't even care what he turns in to. As long as the botmode has the traditional characteristics.

Prime has that interesting rumble figure that's pretty cool.

>>5317310

Got a picture of the Eject and Stripes, or is there no mockups/prototypes of him shown, just a confirmation he's being made?

>>5317284
wait for Titan Wars

>>5317286
He's really cool for what he is and he does really look good with his best buddy. I got something that was taken cared off pretty well so all his joints are still tight and solid. You would actually think that its a new toy because of how smooth and tight the joints are but nope, its toy 3 years older than me. I'm just missing the gun on him so I'll probably hunt that during the next toy con.

>>5317317
Stripes (the mold didn't look very good) was in NYCC, so I assume he comes with Blasters since I remember seeing some listings for Rewind a while back.

Eject hasn't been shown, but I'm sure he's coming out later.

>>5317313
>even at an angle the damn chest face is smiling

>>5317303
Cybertron Soundwave exists dude. Turns into a stealth bomber but is a great Legends version of Soundwave

>>5317391
But Legends Soundwave sucks

>>5317333
Stripes is an individual release.

Most likely Steeljaw will come with TW Blaster.

Still fearing though they might fuck up Rewinds release by having him be called Eject/give him Ejects color scheme. Hasbro has refused to re-issue Rewind in that EVERY detail release of the G1 Blaster omitted Rewind only carrying Eject even though Rewind is the one heavily featured in the comics with Eject a full on nonentity

>>5317391

Anon means the new Legends size (aka we scout class now).

>>5317400
Eject was in that GI Joe/Transformers comic He watched gameshows and such with Jinx.

>>5317291
You. I like you. You have good taste.

>>5317391
Yeah like others said I mean in the current legends category. I had both voyager and legends cybertron Soundwave and he was interesting.

Whichever you want to say man. It's all good.

I'll admit the Devastation game has given me a new outlook on some of the Decepticons, Blitzwing especially.

>>5317434

If thats going to be the mold for them, I think thats pretty good looking. I like how the legs have what looks like speakers in them.

>>5317441
Those are tank treads.

>>5317445
>implying it's not both

>>5317445

..Oh shit, you're right. So I guess the cassettes are going to be tanks this time around? That works.

>>5317460
Personally, I like it. Not a big fan of the bulky 'armored' cellphone mode, but the tank is sweet. Might get a Grand Slam / Raindance / Slamdance repaint out of it.

>>5317464
There was a cassette that featured heavily in Guardians of the Galaxy, and that was pretty recent.

>>5317464
It isn't a cassette, just has a cassette as the background image for the screen.

>>5317467
>Might get a Grand Slam / Raindance / Slamdance repaint out of it.

They're having a hard time making these New Cassettes /Phones decent. The Humanoid great, but the cat, and bird one's aren't.

>>5317434
Not a fan of his stupidly bulky forearms, but I like that he had three modes and at least comes with a weapon. Seems like he'll be a fun little dude.

>>5317479
All the more reason to repaint Ej-Wind (or perhaps Re-ject? waitno) in blue and red. Though some babbies will wonder why Optimus is a phone called RainSlam.

>>5317479

The birds are always kind of bad though. They just don't make good figures because there isn't much you can do with a bird, and unless you buy some 3rd party "flying" stand they just sort of sit there poking at other bots feet.

>>5317467

I like the looks of that. I wonder if the turret will be able to rotate though.

>>5317467
>>5317434
>>5317467

Rewind is easily the one that suffers least from the triple changer philosophy, the other two we've seen so far don't really look very good.

>>5317434
Will this guy be sold by himself or does he come with the new Blaster?

>>5317500
Not a chance. The turret is both arms, similar to Legends Megatron/Warpath.

Is that a dragon dildo?

>>5317498
The MP Brids were great (but yeah, MP), plus that Real Gear Laserbeak was almost perfect (they only needed to fix the head).

>>5317502

Probably because the other 2 aren't humanoid shaped robot forms. The bird just has this flat...Thing. As a vehicle mode. I don't know what the fuck it's supposed to be. And then it has the iphone form which is equally unimpressive (but makes sense) because it's just a flat thing that has no real "use" as a toy.

>>5317507

Ah well. Still looks fairly cool in tank mode. Hopefully the Rumble/Frenzy versions follow shortly after.

I have three of this saucy motherfucker.

>>5317511
Forklift?

>>5317512

But in his case bird is his "vehicle" mode. It's not the normal robot mode. I'm talking about the figures who bird is the robot mode.

>>5317515

Thats a forklift? I mean, really? I guess I can sort of see it. Still doesn't look like anything but a tiny box on wheels though, the little prongs at the end aren't long enough to really evoke the image of a forklift to me.

>>5317517
Fair enough. Though I am still excite for Skylynx.

>>5317511
I get what Hasbro tried to do, but they fucked up. They didn't want kids to hate the Phones, so they gave them a third mode to increase play value, but this ended up ruining the animal modes.

On the other hand, they can't ditch the phone mode since they need them to be compatible with Blaster/Soundwave, plus people would bitch if they aren't compatible.

You guys ever just dig through your figures to find ones you like but haven't messed with in a while?

Just pulled this guy out of storage. A little taller and bicep swivel and he would have been perfect. Still a great figure, though.

>>5317528
Should have made a plane third mode by having bird flip its wings over and tuck in head

>>5317521

Skylynx sort of escapes the problem though because he'll be big and impressive, not just sort of hanging around at everyone elses feet. Plus have 4 legs, and a long neck and tail. He's more of a dragon than a bird.

>>5317528

Honestly if the bird just turned into, I dunno, a car or something more recognizable, it'd be fine. Rewind looks fine as a tank.

>>5317528
I think it would have been find if they had the third mode, but instead of a phone they're just a generic "data storage device" of cybertronian origin. They wouldn't need all the phone imagery.

>>5317467
This is much better than what the birds are getting.

Then you're doing something wrong or you got a defective Tracks. I can lift mine up by his backpack and shake him around and it doesn't come loose. Did you also peg his doors into his back?

>>5317537
>Honestly if the bird just turned into, I dunno, a car or something

Yeah, no. This is why G1 despite its flaws is hailed by many people because of the variety of alt modes. The most recent series it's always automobile and jet and almost nothing in between, we don't need yet more repetition of unoriginality. I don't care that that these alt modes don't seem spectacular, but they would be far worse if they were made cars once more.

For the guy in the last thread >>5316953

Get some piece of scrap plastic, cut it into a circle or U shape, glue it onto the shoulder piece that's supposed to lock onto the chest peg, now it will stay in place very sturdily. Painting optional ofc.

>>5317691
Yes.

Although if it did I wouldn't actually be upset, as long as it looked cool though. Maybe a triple changer of dino to base to robot. (or the nemesis ship)

The g1 rage would be delicious.

>>5317699

I don't think I have anything handy that could work for that, but thats a good idea, thanks man.

Hmm. Maybe I have an old card somewhere I could use. Wish there were modeling or arts/crafts stores around here, some plasticard or foam board might do the trick. I don't have any legos though, and fuck if I know where my exacto knives could be from my Warhammer playing days.

So when will the titan return stuff will be out?

Cause I am more or less done with Comber wars with how shitty and reused Bruticus is.

I'm really happy his CW version turned out so good. I liked him a lot as a kid, dunno why.

Is it okay to skip Leader Autismo? I kinda wish we got a new voyager scale Autismo instead.

>>5317928
As much as I like Autismo I do agree that he should be a Voyager instead, but had that happened this year he would be required to be a core.

>>5317942
Think about it this way. by next year, we'll have a leader megatron, starscream, AND soundwave. kinda nifty

>>5317947
And they'll ALL be crap

>>5317691
If it would interfere with an authentic dinosaur mode then yes, yes you are. If both could coexist alongside the base mode, then no, not really.

Well, I guess I'll post the most recent Titan Wars rumors that are floating around. These come from the guys who leaked all the other stuff before it came out. Some of this stuff is no-brainer, some ridiculous -

Updated for 10/30/2015

1. Legends Laserbeak, a recolor of Combiner Wars Legends Buzzsaw.
2. Deluxe Afterburner, a recolor/remold from Unite Warriors Deluxe Groove.
3. Deluxe Lightspeed, a recolor/remold from a Combiner Wars Stunticon car limb.
4. Deluxe Nosecone, a recolor/remold of Combiner Wars Brawl (yes, with the drill from BotCon Ramhorn).
5. Deluxe Strafe, a recolor/remold of a Combiner Wars Aerialbot limb jet mold. Probably not remolded much from being a conventional Earth jet though.
6. Voyager Astrotrain, a recolor/remold of Titan Return Voyager Sentinel Prime, seen at NYCC.

Update 11-3-2015 from a Facebook post

1. The upcoming Blurr and Scourge figures are Deluxe Headmasters, just like Hardhead and Skullsmasher.
2. They have no information on an upcoming Combiner Wars Predaking.
3. The four Titanmasters that Hasbro revealed at NYCC were the only ones Transmissions knows about. This would mean other figures that were mentioned in Transmissions rumors, but not seen from Hasbro yet (Highbrow, Chromedome, Brainstorm, Mindwipe, Weirdwolf, Alpha Trion) are likely full sized figures.
4. Astrotrain is a straight recolor of Sentinel Prime with a new head.

>>5318214

Update 11/6/2016

1. They repeat they have no information on a Combiner Wars Predaking. They simply do not know.
2. Combiner Wars Technobots will have newer style hands/feet, possibly new molds or the molds used on Victorion.
3. The unrevealed first wave Titans Return Deluxes are Scourge and Blurr.
4. The unrevealed first wave Titans Return Leader is Optimus Prime. His chest will look like the chest of God Ginrai (also seen on the release of Power Master Optimus Prime with Apex Bomber in the Commemorative Series).
5. There will be a Legends Scrounge based on the Generations Legends Cosmos mold. It MIGHT have a new head.
6. For the 30th anniversary of the movie, there will be a box set of Platinum Edition Rodimus Prime vs. Galvatron, but no confirmation on what molds will be in this set.

Update 11/12/2015

1. TR Voyager Sentinel Prime/Astrotrain mold is based on the IDW Astrotrain concept art.
2. No information on whether we will be getting a space shuttle version of Blast Off.
3. TR Alpha Trion is a Voyager with a Titanmaster.
4. The CW Abominus photos going around are fakes. No word on whether HasTak is making their own CW Abominus.
5. TR Leader Optimus Prime will have a closed trailer, not the open one from Ultra Magnus. It does not have Magnus’ giant shoulders, and the missile launchers from Magnus will be replaced with Powermaster Prime style cannons. The God Ginrai style chest is not removable. The truck mode cab will be slightly modified from Magnus.

Update for 11-19-2015 - episode 140

1. Listener question answer - there is no information about any upcoming Triple Changers of Octane or Broadside.
2. The recently leaked image of Fortress Maximus looks legit, but no additional information.
3. Combiner Wars or Unite (the hosts seemed unsure if this was a US or Japanese release) Voyager Deathsaurus from CW Sky Lynx. Will have a partner of Arms Micron Gul as his Breast Force partner.
4. Combiner Wars or Unite Deluxe Hellbat from a Deluxe Aerialbot jet limb.
5. Combiner Wars or Unite Deluxe Guyhawk from a Deluxe Aerialbot jet limb.
6. Combiner Wars or Unite Deluxe Killbison from Deluxe Brawl.
7. Combiner Wars or Unite Deluxe Drillhorn from Deluxe Brawl.

--

News update for November 25th, 2015, episode 141.

1. Soundwave's Titanmaster will now be colored like G1 Soundwave, not SG colors as previously reported.
2. Titanmaster Deluxe Brainstorm will be a remold of Titanmaster Deluxe Blurr (new head, and adds wings).
3. There will be another Windblade figure, who is not a Headmaster, potentially a repaint of RiD Windblade.
4. SDCC set will contain Sentinel Prime vs. Brainstorm and Windblade.

They've been pretty spot-on so far, so I guess now we wait.

>tfw Shockwave will be here Tuesday

>>5318394

Ordered myself a Shockwave and a Chopshop since I recently got Shrapnel and I really liked the mold, so I figured this was a nice excuse to own another.

>>5318020
Oh come on, this is the current TF Team we're talking about. They'll retool anything.

>>5318020
I bet you also think Sentinel won't be repainted into Astrotrain, too.

>>5318063
Nice.

Really get to see how much Hasbro pushed the remolds so hard, fucking Firefly, Alpha Bravo and Rook are minimum 6 uses each.

>>5318448
Technically rook only has 3. Nobody ever counts funpub.

Disgusting. I admit the stripes in front of his windshield are a little distracting, but I will gladly suffer them for that delicious, real-world-accurate, officially licensed, Group 5 Lancia Stratos Turbo paint job.

>>5318446

Is it really a repaint if what the mold is supposed to be, is first used as something else? Most people when they say Sentinel thought it was just an updated Astrotrain with a different head "because Autobots sell".

>>5318448

Most people at a glance wouldn't even know Swindle/Hound are a remold of Rook. Most of the stuff in the list is a straight up repaints too, not remolds.

That fucking helicopter though, theres no excuse for that to both be reused so much, and reused so much without any changes other than paint.

>>5318505
The Vicky twins have new arms and headsculpts, but yeah, they should've change the cockpit and rotor parts.

Just got this glorious motherfucker in the mail, and I honestly don't think I've been this giddy over a plastic brick since the 80's. That said, he IS quite a brick, and I wouldn't mind seeing him with a bit more articulation. Any hopes for an official modern figure, like Springer, or should I just bite the bullet and get a Hexatron?

>>5318550
You CAN get the KO hexatron. From what I recall he can't turn his head, but I can't think of other downsides at the moment.

People complain about Hexatron being overly greebled and crap, but personally, as a huge Sixshot fan I love Hexatron. The fake ninja blades and ninja stars help solidify him as the ninja consultant he is meant to be. His articulation is pretty great.

If you like Sixshot, I think Hexatron is worth getting.

I say wait. Hexatron is the only 3P Sixshot, and it looks like a piece of crap with too much detailing. the dumb, round head doesnt even look like sixshot and it has really short wings. also it's fucking HUGE for no reason.

3P Companies love doing characters who have already been done, so just be patient and a Sixshot will come soon enough

Guys, wat do? A relative's getting me the platinum coneheads and Blaster/Perceptor sets, but I think they're overpriced and I don't collect G1.

I feel it'd be pretty rude to say I don't want them, I'm not sure how to approach it, maybe I should be grateful for getting anything of that consideration at all.

>>5318837

I really want the TRU warrior class megatronus, but I don't think I'll ever see it on the TRU site or in person.

Is it worth $20 shipped or should I just get the normal retail one for $12 shipped?

>>5318598
So what? G1 toy size classes have no place in modern releases.

>>5319145
Just try to go Toys R Us and look for him. I was able to find mine. Since it was an exclusive, and since RiD Warriors aren't exactly the most demanded right now.

If you can't find him, wait until January, and he should be available.

>>5319164
Been checking TRU at least once a week. the rid stock is now down there from last week, but still no megatronus. I'd get the normal one right now, but the paint sucks too bad.

HELP

>>5319182
I don't think the normal one is out, I think he's supposed to be in the wave that Thunderhoof and Quillfire are in.

>>5319202
He's on HTS right now at least.

>>5319196
Focus on a line, create some rules like "no repaints", "just 2-3 representations per character", I had the same problem, now I only collect classics/gen stuff.

>>5319210
Oh, so he is.

I still think the Toys R Us version is better. Not that I think the paint is really that different, but I much prefer the headsculpt on the TRU one. Looks better.

>>5319228
Yeah that's how I feel. I mean $20 isn't that much higher than if I find him in stores and the normal release is still the same toy. I too love that headsculpt though. Not a huge fan of the rid faces.

>>5319244
Honestly, if you feel like going for it, go for it. It's up to you. In my opinion though, he's a fun figure, but by no means a "got to have it", so that's why I just waited until I happened to see him in stores. I mean, none of the RID figures I've found are really "got to have it" anyway. I have 4 warriors, Megatronus, Steeljaw, Bumblebee and Grimlock, and the only 2 I like are Grim and Megs. And I guess I was just lucky with my Grimlock, because his elbows are in fine shape.

>>5319257
So far I have grimlock, drift, jazz, blackbee, and strongarm with fracture on the way. I don't even watch the show, but I like what I have so far with grim being my least favorite.

I definitely will get megs at some point and warrior thunderhoof looks rad as fuck. Demonlike.

>>5319196

Get creative with how you display them. Putting them into poses/vehicle forms may indeed save space that you can then cram more figures into. Vehicle form especially, since most vehicle forms at least in my experience, seem to eat up less space.

Also, only collect figures you absolutely like. Don't buy anything "just because", and don't get like, 5 versions of the same fucking character. Stick with your idealized realizations of the characters you enjoy the most for your budget.

>>5319265
I don't really watch it either, that's why I don't collect that much. But I appreciate some of their designs.

>>5319278
I don't know, man. All I've heard is that Grimlock's elbows will snap, explode, just about do anything except act like a normal elbow.Something to do with the tiny ratchet joint. I think it was something they even fixed in the gold version, but I don't know what they changed exactly. (Other than the headsculpt, of course.) But I must have been super lucky for once, because I picked one up as soon as they came out, and I have had zero problems to date.

And personally, I like the green and black deco. Something different, and with the way his dino mode looks, it almost gives off some Godzilla kind of vibe, so I like that.

Steeljaw is the only figure I have that I hate and wouldn't recommend. It's retarded the way his feet are, he's impossible to stand.

Oh, and I did get one of those Minicons, I kind of liked those things, they were a little neat.

>>5319294
The bot elbows have a weird gear system with a flimsy piece of plastic in it that's prone to breaking.

>>5319352
I love that cannon-chest a lot more than how Megatron was handled in the first movie.

>>5319299
The be more precise, the problem is the plastic of the arm itself that this little gray piece of the system presses against. The plastic in that spot is absurdly thin on the original runs of the figure. About as thin as a one of those prepaid gift cards you see in stores. You know, the ones that are made of some sort of paper/cardboard rather than plastic? That thin.

The gold armor version fixed that by roughly doubling the thickness of the plastic, so even if the joint mechanism is still shitty at least it won't stress the arm so easily.

Interestingly, I checked some of the green Grimlocks that were stocked recently, and it looks like they've been fixed, too. You can clearly see the problem area inside the package, so if you take a peek and don't see that little gray piece pressing against anything that's clearly paper-thin, you should be good.

>>5319564
Mirage is not a combiner. I don't care for Hasbro inserting him into a combiner line to milk molds. 9 combiners so far and less than half are actual combiners, the rest new and uninteresting, or shoehorned.

>>5319574
Why didn't you just buy the fucking Classics mold?

It's pointless within the context of Mirage, who is not a combiner. Until Hasbro shoehorned him into being one.

>>5319585
He was in the cartoon, bro
You would be better off bitching about literally every other new Autobot limb

>>5319585

Might as well bitch about every alteration made to every character in the course of the entire history of the toy line then.

>>5319585
But the peg still isn't pointless. Youre not getting it.

Speaking of CW Mirage, what is the purpose of that slanted peg on his weapon? Is it supposed to slot into something that I'm not realizing to make him more CHUG-ey, like give him a shoulder "missile" or something?

>>5319590
You are right. Hasbro should just reissue the good old toys instead of producing new shitty ones.

>>5319594

It's the same gun from Generations Arcee, it's used to plug into her various ports, most notably for storage in her undercarriage

>>5319594
Nah. The best you can do is a blade coming out the side of car mode. I cut the peg off and gave it to blades and gave blades' gun to mirage.

>>5319511
>>5319158
At least it looks way better than Classics Mirage. that anorexic fuck

>>5319616
Be careful. It gets many people butthurt when you insult a CHUG figure. Especially when they have a CW version.

>>5319521
BW Ramhorn uses sparkly translucent brown plastic. Actually, a large portion of Beast Wars toys use some kind of sparkly plastic.

So, I want to get another combiner team. I have the protectobots and was going to get the combaticons but brawl is awful and blast off and vortex are repaints (will probably still get swindle though). What's the best combiner team overall?

>>5319698
It depends what you want in a combiner. If you want the gesalt, the Aerialbots are for you. If you want good individual toys, get the Stunticons.

Good chance I'll be getting a hasbro bruticus UNLESS takara's has 2 colors for the chest (not just grey or silver, infact the grey chest on the hasbro looks to be the worst thing about it).

Because least the members this time are original, if...kinda bland.

But I need to wait and see on takara's bruticus, at this rate they'll show that off before my country gets the damn things.

I'm also retarded enough to buy the g2 bruticus as well, so I shall have 2 of the fuckers

>>5319753
I would be okay with it if it wasn't a straight repaint of a character who barely resembles the character he's supposed to be in half of the head only. Alpha Bravo was always Vortex, so it doesn't bother me that he's a repaint. Compare Jet-Off to Swindle, who looks absolutely nothing like Rook due to the extent of retooling.

Would it really have killed Hasbro just to retool the top half of the Firefly mold into a Shuttle and give us a new head? They did it with Air Raid and Sky Dive, so why is the Fire Fly mold so fucking special that only the head can change, but only for Sling Shot? Not even a new weapon?

>Not even a new weapon
The offorad mold still uses the same damn axe.

If the designers would of gone that extra mile like what they did for sunstreaker and sideswipe generations line we'd be alot happier

Pisses me off, they did that for hotspot/onslaught but none of the same for the deluxe

Yeah it's the bottom piece's hinge that's lose.

You know what's not a defect though? The arms don't really align with the sides of the alt mode so when they're plugged all the way in the grill hand covers don't align with the rest of the arms and makes the entire mode look horrible.

He's shit and in hand it reeks of Koboyashi right down to the awkward face proportions. They did a real good job hiding this on the promotional photographs.

This.
The newer the toy, the shittier the quality.
A friend got cw superion and i'm surprised that the quality is shitty $1 knockoff tier.

>>5319756
Just buy Guardian and a US Hot Spot.

>>5319794
But I'd be only buying UW guardian for the groove only, I'm fine with the chesty one for the time being.

I'm still weighing up the bruticus options, perhaps if the UW fails to deliver I'll just have the g2 bruticus

But the Jazz he comes with is the best version you could get of that mold.

Most of the toys from Car Robots (Japanese RID) have sparkly plastic. Valdigus does, and I know Fire Convoy does too

>>5319593
Nope. You're not getting it. The peg is for combining. Mirage isn't a combiner. So the peg is pointless. It doesn't matter what its intended purpose is.

Maybe you'd be less autism'd if the wording was "pointless combining gimmick".

>>5319712
I think he's talking about the gun I gave my Mirage in the picture I posted, instead of the one you're talking about.

This is a funny argument but I'm going to jump in.

Lets take out the lore and story us man children hold onto for all of our lives.

The toy, a remold of dragstrip, had a peg, all they've done was give it a new head (or rather a new face) and a new paint job, the main gimmick for the combiner wars line is the combining with the leader class toys simply shoe horned in just to sell, something that annoys me but knowing the takara legends line fits them better works.

But in short, its a slab of plastic in a toy line where voyager and deluxe's are meant to combine, if you stick to the lore then yes the peg is simply NOT cannon, though one could argue that episode where that did that fake combination.

Now you 2 can kiss and make up since neither of you was getting your point across

Then again that Mirage toy isn't a representation of "G1 Mirage" he may look a bit like him but he was part of a line with its own lore, where he is a combiner.

The 'tism is strong here today, is TFW leaking again?

Therefore the peg is both not cannon...but also cannon.

>>5319888
ÇHECKD

Also you should know this is usual for this fandom by now

>>5319889
It's not cannon, but it could be canon.

Although with some modding it could be a cannon.

I'm confused.

Did they release information about Takara's take on Bruticus?

Also, those are some impressive addons to Bruticus. I may have to get my hands on them when he comes out.

>>5319929
Nothing yet, just the speculation about the new Blastoff, the add ons are the black perfect effect hand and feet taht were released for Defensor months ago, they grey parts are the hand/feet included with the stock figures, just "fanmoded".

new thread?
