Old Thread: >>5338014

>>5340738

I think one of them is going to come with Blaster, the other will be sold as a Legends figure?
>>
>>5340749
Thanks man.
>>
>>5340775

I'm not 100% sure, mind you. I just remember someone saying that in a thread. It might've been speculation.
>>
never understood Grimlock or the Dinobots in general as being favorites
>>
>>5340780
They'll probably stick one of the less popular guys with Blaster so you have to also purchase the one you actually want.
>>
>>5340749
We don't really know if any of them come with the leader figure. I hope they do, but not figure was shown off with Blaster (Stripes, and Rewind regular releases).

Anyway, here's the list again:

-Rewind
-Eject
-Ramhorn
-Steeljaw
-Stripes
-Sundor (maybe?)
-Rumble
-Frenzy
-Buzzsaw
-Laserbeak
-Ratbat
-Ravage

As Legends. Same as your Powerglides and Swerves
>>
>>5340800
Forgot to mention that I'm hoping they're released in sets of 2, along with 2 "normal" legends figures.

If some of them do come included with figures, then 4 of them are probably going to show up packed with those, almost leaving us enough to release them all in one year without them cluttering up the Legends sections.
>>
>>5340815
I am ok with this. I was thinking they might only be two packs again.
>>
>>5340788
I absolutely adore the "mechanical beast" style g1 used for animal transformers. This includes everything from the Dinobots to the Seacons. It meshes so much better than the organic animal/mechanical robot thing that BW did, even though they were cool, too.

>inb4 "mechanical robot"
The transmetal robot modes had weird organic-looking qualities to them, that's why I said that.
>>
>>5340825
Well, BW designs were inspired by The Guyver.

Another general already? We seem to be burning through threads like back in the good ol' days. I remember not too long ago, the monotony of CW had strangled the TF generals to death.

Anyway, I just got this guy in today. It's actually my first time buying the mold, and I was prepared to be unimpressed, but he's actually pretty excellent. Joints are tight, QC is good, and a lot of the issues I thought I would have with him from pictures don't really bother me in hand. Probably not worth the stupid import price, but TC has always been my favorite. Now I'm thirsty for more MP 'cons.
>>
>>5340989
When Dirge comes out I'll spend too damn much importing him and then spend too damn much buying the American release so I know what you mean, everyone has a favorite seeker that they have a soft spot for.

Last thread had fixes for Brawl and the Motormaster/Optimus molds.
>>
>>5340997
Good job, captain obvious.
>>
>>5340907

Yes I do, but the thing is I figured I'd need about 9 bases (ie: 3 packs) to get good coverage overall for my flying bots. So only getting 2 is kind of a damper on that, but oh well, I'll get another at some other place at some point.

>>5340997

Here, freshly saved for you. The MM fix though I'm not bothering to save since it requires 3rd party stuff (or just buying the fixed hips version of him).

Finally got a hold of Megatronus at my TRU. I love it, but the wrists are so weak. Going to need to Pledge them.

Only thing I care about how is keeping my eyes out for the bruticus limbs.
>>
>>5341025

Bruticus' limbs have been in stock on quite a few sites for MSRP for a while now. Why not just order it online?

It's Onslaught thats the real bastard to get ahold of, no one seems to have him yet, and places with preorders for him are sold out.
>>
>>5341033
Because I'm unsure if I want the whole set. I'll be getting blast off (i have no connection to the g1 stuff and I don't have any aerialbot molds) and dwindle for sure and want to wait to see the other 2 in person before I make a final decision.
>>
>>5341038
Ha. Meant Swindle.
>>
>>5341038
>>5341040

Theres quite a few pics of Brawl around, aren't those enough to decide? And Vortex is just Alpha Bravo again, don't own one of his redeco's yet?
>>
>>5341044
I prefer to see in person. Plus if I do choose to buy I'll only be paying retail and its easier to return if needed.

And I own Blades. I gotta see it in person to see if owning the batshit colored chopper is worth owning the copter twice.

If I wanted them just for bruticus I would've bought the whole set online, but I just want them for Galvatronus so we'll see how I feel once I have them in hand.

Fuck if I know.
Artemis Prime is still the best tf character of all time.
She wields the power of three matrixes and she single-handedly defeated Unicron for good.
Starscream is also deeply in love with her and the reason he wants to be leader is so he can surrender the decepticons to prove his undying love.
These stories are way better than IDW shit.
>>
>>5341387
>She wields the power of three matrixes and she single-handedly defeated Unicron for good.

wow, so powerful. It's as if she has no weaknesses at all. so interesting, much intrigue
or is her weakness that she is so powerful that even her fellow autobots fear her?

It clearly varies on model to model. My Thundercracker is quite secure, unless I pick him up and shake him around by holding onto just his cockpit/fuselage bit.

Which version of the mold do you own? I've heard that the first MP-11 release is actually one of the worst, while most of the Asia-exclusive versions are pretty sturdy. The Hasbro ones are a crapshoot.
>>
>>5341472
But lets be honest, we all know the reason why it's given so much focus and it starts with the letter T. Roberts comes from that group of people and as such it's going to reflect on the writing. I'm waiting for him to go full homestuck mode and dedicate an issue purely to explaining how relationships in transformers work.

They'll try again I'm sure, it'll be too much of a tease to just give out one of the conehead trio.

I know its not hasbro who supposedly promised to complete sets, I just have faith they'll try the other 2 eventually.

Maybe yearly, maybe a few years later, but eventually we'll see all 3.

Slingshot should crumble by itself for maximum G2 accuracy.
>>
>prices for the G2 sets will be $150, way more than buying the single component versions

I am refusing to pay that. I have seen so many complete loose sets in various BSTs for $60 or less, but even base retail would be under $100 for 4 limbs, torso and Legends extra bot. Hasbro is out of their fucking minds.

They've been out of their fucking minds for years, but this is actually dumber than I expected of them.

Maybe it's just as well, I half expect the gold Aerialbot to crumble into powder within 5 years. "We fixed the GPS issue" is not something I believe out of the Hasbro PR mouth since they're not the most honest voice.

they don't have sex organs or reproduce. Romance amongst them is pointless.
>>
>>5341797

>>
>>5341797
The link in this thread is Walmart Canada though, so maybe the pricing will be SLIGHTLY lower in the US

That said, the cost of things being what they are in america now is the reason I imported my UW sets.
>>
>>5341817
no, it's already been confirmed that they will be $150 at TRU.

Even if it's $145 at Walmart, that $5 means shit. These should be $90 sets at most.

Preciate it. Im in Texas though. I'm not too worried. I usually see every figure in every wave not long after release. Then they just pegwarm for a bit. So just keeping an eye out.

The Huntington Mall Wal-Mart tends to get decent stuff sometimes, though. I scored a Waspinator, Arcee, and Brainstorm there just a few days before Christmas. Haven't been there in a while, though, and I still need my damn Protectobot limbs.

Ah well, at least there's BBTS and Amazon...

Defensor limbs luckily aren't that expensive usually, last time I checked. You should be able to find him for a good price.

Annoyingly, Protectobot "The Ol' Nigga Grave Digga" Rook is going for $20 on some sites. Might just order the 4 as a set on BBTS, as the Amazon prices are going up again.

>>5342081

Long as BBTS has them for MSRP you're not losing out on anything but shipping really. Thats not that bad for an older wave.

>The worthless Cyclonus from Transformers: The Headmasters actually did something useful
Well I'll be damned
>>
Well, I saw all the Combaticons at Wal-Mart today. Ended up passing on them.

Normally I buy the Hasbro versions of figures, since the increased cost of Takara versions just isn't worth it. This time, though, I feel like the Takara set is going to be a better value.

At the time I bought Defensor and Takara announced theirs, nobody was expecting them to make a Groove. Now that there's that precedent, though, its almost certainly going to happen with Blast Off too. I don't hate Blast Off being a jet, but his head lacking a facemask was just too much.

But the biggest issue scaring me off is the design problems with Brawl: I don't like when Transformers are unable to hold a mode.

TL;DR Do better, Hasbro.

Given all they'd need to do is just shove different colored plastic into the molds they already have, they're probably going to. Those hands/feet seem to be selling like hotcakes.

>>5342138
So... I guess that confirms Roller is IDW Roller? Not that I really care about that in particular, but does Japan really care about IDW comics to do that? I mean, I thought the reason they turned Minimus into Alpha Trion was because Japan doesn't read the IDW comics.
>>
>>5342322
It is popular with westaboos but hasn't had much in the way of official releases over there. Since Grand Galvatron is an online shop exclusive which often have minor characters and Ultra Magnus was a retail release, different demographics likely. Plus even if Roller isn't popular, the set is still getting carried by Cyclonus, Starscream, and Breakdown who are all popular characters.
>>
>>5342322
They get them, they're just behind. Don't think Minimus has appeared yet.

Plus I assume there are online fan scanalations for アメコミ in Japan like we get for manga here

I just want an Onslaught without being forced into getting Red Superion with him as a $20 surcharge.
>>
>>5342333
Just be patient. Wait for Amazon to get him in.

Am I the only one who wants both?
>>
What would you consider the best CW combiner using any torso and limbots from the line?
>>
>>5342333

They had single orders of Onslaught, they pre-sold out within an hour of going up.
>>
>>5342331
Okay, I guess that makes a little sense. But I'm just thinking as it seems a bit odd. It's just that he's such a minor character in the long run, out of all the characters they could have used, I'm a little shocked that they decided to go with him.

>>5342330
Yeah, I think the selling point is easily Starscream and Breakdown limb-wise maybe even Thrust too as he an Starscream got mold changes.
>>
>>5342340
Because they both have the moustachio
>>
>>5342337

Superion is the best overall in terms of stability/staying secure in combiner mode.
Defensor is in the middle.
Menasor is at the bottom.

Aesthetics are subjective.

>>5342338

I know, and I missed it when they went up.

>>5342335

Dunno when Amazon is going to get him though. And yes, you're probably the only one who wants him, mostly because if stuff like Grand Galvatron is going to be a thing, you can be sure Takara is likely going to do a UW Computron with remolded/recolored limbs to mimic Computron.
>>
>>5342349
I just wish Takara would actually release more than two UW sets in mass market. Fuck this Takara Tomy Mall exclusive crap.
>>
>>5342356

Well, specialty stores seem to get ahold of those sets anyway, so is it really a problem?
>>
>>5342349
>Dunno when Amazon is going to get him though.
Amazon has him listed now for going up in stock on the 21st, however, he costs $40. I think I'm going to wait at least until after this weekend. I mean you know after this weekend the only thing people will be concerned with buying and selling are Star Wars toys, as the demand will be at the height. So I'd say wait for Monday.
>>
>>5342366

Yeah, he's being scalped already. Isn't his MSRP supposed to be $26 like every other voyager? Thats almost twice the price.
>>
>>5342364
The prices are a lot more jacked up from it, though.
>>
>>5342369
Yeah. But this has been happening with most of the major combiner torsos. I recall waiting for Motormaster a bit because it was the same case, $40 for like 2 weeks before going down.

I guess this is just more painful on me because while I don't incredibly care for Menasor, Bruticus is my favorite combiner, and I currently have all the pieces except Onslaught.

Same deal for me, except I like Menasor, Brutius is my 2nd favorite, and my actual favorite isn't looking like he'll get made unless Takara decides to build their own UW Predaking from scratch.

It's going to suck if my only option for a Predaking are the horrendously overpriced 3rd party things. I don't want to pay $300-500 for a Not-Predaking.

Last year I was in line at a panel for the then-new RID cartoon. They started a Q/A, and they cut it off at the person directly in front of me. He was a ponyfag, and his question was completely serious, he wanted to know if there would be an RID/MLP crossover. I nearly jumped out a window after that.

I mean, I've been cut off on lines before, but getting cut off on line when that guy is directly in front of me and asked a retarded question such as that? Just fuck my shit up.

I've got the best and worst of it, Bruticus is my favorite Decepticon combiner and it it seems that he's the least fucked over by Hasbro in terms of having all of his members and Blast Off doesn't look too far off from his original self. On the hand, my favorite Autobot combiner is Computron, so it looks like Unite Warriors for me.

There's no peg, but on my MP-11T (which I admit is the only version of the mold I own) the torso stays in place very well. It won't dislodge unless I apply a fair amount of pressure on it. I can pick him up by his torso or head and it stays in place. So yeah.

The way you kept exclaiming about gay this and gay that very much led me to believe you are having a little gay shitfit, anon. Sorry if that's not the case but it comes across very strongly. So again. Tone back your rabid homophobia or learn how to express yourself in a way which doesn't lead others to believe you are some redneck having a fit because some author wrote that two robots love each other.

>but I've never found "works on my machine" to be particularly convincing
Then by the same token "doesn't work on my machine" is equally unconvincing.

I was gambling for a new MP Starscream, since I didn't like the looks of the current one, but once they've started retooling the same mold for the umpteenth time into the coneheads, I think it's pretty clear they don't plan on updating it. If anything, I'd look at that turd party one coming up, by maketoys I think? The silhouette looks nice, at lease.

I've been eyeing warpath and seaspray. They look like goofy fun desk toys.

Are they worth nearly $10 a piece or should I go for more modern official/3P instead?

Ok, let me explain it this way, here is what it cost to send it to me.

That's $226.06AUD.

Toys R us here are charging $300.

I'm still saving...well I would be if I didn't have one already.

That and finding a good one on ebay is depressing, but I'll say this in my overall defence.

You buy him on its own and yes the postage is a loss, you buy him with a heap of shit and you can better justify the cost depending on what they are and if they're all must haves and not box filler.

Not the best argument but how else would you get a cheap mp-10, a has-shit second hand, luck on ebay bids, or a dreaded ko?

The QC and my inner fanboy just can't take a KO unless it hits one of a few internal rules.

>VERY limited qualities
>Special color variations that don't exist
>I can see the product, the EXACT product, before I buy it
>Looong out of production

Considered buying me a t2 endo skull in gold but only stopped because it was literally statueshit, the space for that thing now belongs to my 3 combiner gestalts.

I don't want an mp with shittier paint apps than a hasbro figure as it'd only make me feel like I "got what I deserved" so to speak, and I've been burnt on deliberate ko purchases before on other products.

I did go through an entire inventory of hasbro mp bluestreak's and ended up with a refund because of how shit the QC was and its not like the badge was crooked either, looked like someone went at them with a large kids brush.

but tldr MUH BRAND LOYALTY AND QC STIGMA

How could you defend it?

>>5343167
>>5343180
Honestly, if we were getting decent limbs, I would consider him borderline acceptable. I'd take less remolds on him to give more theoretical new parts to the limbs.

But with the limbs not existing (for now), this guy has to stand on his own, and he can't do that.
>>
>>5343151
Speaking of KOs, is there a known KO of MP10 Optimus Prime that isn't an upscale and of high quality?
>>
>>5343201
There is that ultra magnus recolor and a few bape versions but none of the original that I know of.

Quality unknown

>>
>>5343192
All of his limbs would be heavy retools of existing ones, we already have possibilities.

Its up to takara to do something about the combined mode, a more extensive paint job on the chest would be a start, as I doubt they'd fix the combined mode head
>>
>>5343256
It can work with some minimal remolding.
>>
>>5343304
I see your point, except that's toy accurate.

The head would have to be black and...damn I can't remember his colors in g1 but the stickers on the chest pop out more than what i remember
>>
>>5343153
That's actually canon.

Cartoon Computron had an all-red torso and a dark maroon head with orange-ish face.

You need to refresh those memories.
>>
>>5343323

To be honest I had faint memories of this, I hoped I was wrong.

I wasn't, takara';s only hope is a remold of the combined chest.

Its all just one color, its dull as shit, the toy and its stickers had more variety but after seeing hasbro's attempt worries me for what takara would do.

I did find the deco on the CW defensor better than the UW
>>
Has ANYONE have any info regarding transformer adventure set TAVVS06?

All I know is strong arm battle mode sideswipe battlemode and fixit are included for 4400yen from hlj.

No pics, I really don't need any more legions though I can forgive another fixit.

Otherwise I'll just trackdown the set with the "phantom jaw" repaint of steeljaw and strong arm, taken a liking to some of these things
>>
>>5343329
If takara does the full set they would go for cartoon accuracy, which I personally found dull, most of them anyway, but I 'd like to see their limb bots, I had to buy cw Scatter to get Onslaught, so I already have some mods in mind this >>5343304
and a new mouth for the combine mode.
>>
Does Minimus ambus store anywhere in vehicle mode?
>>
>>5343350
Well modifying the chest would be a massive help.

But isn't it strange, in the cartoon it was just one blob...that's exactly what hasbro gave us, the fact the mold is reused is irrelevant.

Surprised they didn't try to copy the sticker detail to spice it up a bit?
>>
>>5343354
On the trailer where vehicles are meant to be stored.
>>
>>5343360
So you can't hide him?
>>
>>5343354
Yes, on the trailer red bits are a couple of "rails" you can slide Minimus there.

>>5343355
Pretty sure reprolabels will have a set done for january.

What about this?
>>
>>5343368
Not necesary if you mistransform him leting the feet out for torso mode, thats how i have Superion.

>>5343370
This I may do, I like the color break and also is accurate to some cartoon appearances like the one on the left here >>5343323
>>
>>5343360
>>5343362

Damn, that sucks. You'd think considering the pilot ability, he'd be able to stay in the cockpit in vehicle mode, You can almost fit into one of Magnus' feet, but nope.

If they'd kept it like the original way, there'd be no problem.
>>
>>5343192

Yeah, I wish I knew if we were getting the pimbs next year. I won't buy Scattorsgot without the limbs. The looks way too meh and bland as a stand alone toy.
>>
>>5343409
But there really isn't a problem right now. Just put him in the carrier.
>>
Scattorshot could have been better but he isn't as bad as most people make him out to be.

hopefully he shelfwarms enough to the point when the Technobot wave finally comes out...boom everybody gets it.
>>
>>5343494
umm, if he shelfwarms, then why would they make more Technobots?
>>
>>5343494
I imagine that hasbro would take no one buying scattorshot as meaning that no one wants technobots in the first place

Technobots are lame. They should have been the kind of vehicles straight out of science fiction with elegant curves, alien proportions, and shitloads of greebles.
>>
>>5343512
>shitloads of greebles
There is Quantron for that.

The Technobots were made of junk scraped from Unicrons head, they were designed to be functional not good looking.
>>
>>5343494
That implies Hasbro is doing technobots. They have been dropping announcements for all the Titans Returns stuff as it finalizes, but no announcements for any further Combiner War limbs probably means Scattershot is the only one they are doing aside from Vicky and G2 recolors.
>>
>>5343512
This is a good idea.

I feel like if the Technobots had Unicron Trilogy incarnations, that's what they'd look like
>>
>>5343538
More like rainbow-colored group of a not-X-wing, two landspeeders, and two hovertanks lol.
>>
>>5343524
Titans Return isn't going to start getting releases until fall 2016 at the earliest. The only other CW stuff awaiting release is Sky Lynx and the other Autobots. There's going to be something needed to fill the space from then until TR starts.

Plus, we've already seen that the tooling for Nosecone exists (the TFCC remold of Brawl has a drill piece).

>The CW Leader is a much better toy.
No-Wrists McKibblebottom is a pretty sorry excuse for a leader. Although I suppose if you got him at his frequent sale price of 20 bucks or so, it's not a horrible stand in.
>>
Unite Warriors Devastator arrived

Even with knowing all I did, I was not prepared for how huge he is.
>>
>>5343582
I don't know where you got that goofy schedule, but Bruticus is already out, and the Sky Reign limbs are scheduled for Jan or Feb.

You really think they're going 7-8 months with no new Generations figures on the shelves?

What in the shit!? All the videos made it look so easy, one two fucking three! I didn't even want to try putting on the other head before this, now I'm pissed I can't.

Maybe you're just ham handed
>>
>>5343631
Did you use a screw driver that was too small? Sounds like you did.
>>
>>5343640

I'm extremely gentle with my stuff. I literally don't know what I can do to get the head off by this point, other than trying to remove the plastic blocking the balljoint, but I don't know if that would even work as the ball joint looks like it might go deep enough into the head that removing the plastic in the back wouldn't do the trick.

>>5343645

No, it fit snugly.

I'm sad I lost that image of RotF Demolishor with ham hands.

But that's a stupid solution,Yeah put the tiny pilot of the vehicle outside of the cockpit and in a open area, where he can easily be killed, great idea.

Atleast if you could hide him somewhere it'd be like he was still in the pilot's seat.
>>
>>5343722
Yeah but not everyone reads or follows the comics. Not everyone cares as if the toys are alive.
>>
>>5343732
It's nothing to do with any of that, if you're going to do a gimmick, atleast don't half ass it.

Yeah, always something.
>>
>>5343851
That obviously you think you should follow canon or your toys are alive. That's the point.
>>
>>5343872
Nope, just that from a logistics standpoint, it's stupid, as well as lazily designed.
>>
>>5343881
But these aren't real. They don't have to be designed or built for battle. They're toys. What you think should matter doesn't matter at all.
>>
Are there any decent places to get Aerialbots at? I want some for Sky Reign.
>>
>>5343936
You're better off getting the Unite Warriors if you have never bought the American release cause all of them are scalped to stupid prices now.
>>
>>5343936

Just buy the UW Superion. You get the whole package that way, and as >>5343947 said, you'll end up paying far less because the CW versions are being scalped hard as fuck.
>>
Alright, guys.

Today I went to a local toy shop and found a case of a bunch of of Transformers throughout the years.

Some were in their boxes, i.e.; a Takara Beast Hunters Shockwave, and some weren't, i.e.; G1 Omega Supreme.

A lot of them were complete, but a few weren't.

I came across the purple Re-Colored Shockwave from animated and they were selling him for 15$. I got him.

He was complete and all, but just very dusty.

Did I get a deal?
>>
>>5344236
You should have bought all of them.
>>
Is there anywhere I can get a Generations Metroplex without paying an arm and a leg for it?
>>
>>5344255
Look for a hole in the wall toy store.
>>
>>5344255
Wait for a Titans Return reissue since I really think they would OR check your local Craigslist/Kijiji. You will find a lot of people there buying and selling stuff.
>>
>>5344244
I wish I could, they all looked pretty depressing just collecting dust in some "hole-in-the-wall" toy shop.

Speaking of Shockwave.

I need an extra "foot" for my FoC Shockwave, anyone know where I can get one?

Or should I just buy another one?
>>
>>5344301

At the very least I'll probably get the Trypticon unless they massively fuck it up.
>>
What's a good CHUG Soundwave? Is the FoC version decent?
>>
>>5344398
Yeah, He's the one I use.
