Probably not, I'm contemplating my first actual case of scalping...
>>
>>5354821
What are you trying to scalp?
>>
Eh. Its been a slow year for TF purchases. Since im only doing combiner wars (and even then not all of it. Just the main G1 combiners) and a bit of the takara legends its been slow. The RID2015 toys suck ass so when im not buying tfs im buying star wars, marvel, gundam.
>>

>have you been a good little toy collector?

I guess no, this year I got 3 KOs for my collection and I really like 'em , well 2 of the 3.
>>
>>5354863
Why don't you like the other one, Anon?
>>
>>5354839
Honestly, I don't even know if it's going to be scalpable, but just in case I preordered two of the the E-hobby Deadlock exclusives on the hunch that, since it's an exclusive redeco of a sought-after mold for a character without a previous real figure, it ought to go up in price...

I really just hope it goes up enough in value to pay for itself and my copy, but I stll feel like a dirty scumbag. There's no way i could actually scalp reguarly.
>>
>>5354877
Punch and Hexatron are pretty decent, the third is a simplified Hercules, a bit too much simplified, all the individual bots lost articulation but what really dissapointed me was the swich from ratchets to balljointed hips, I gues "you get what you pay".
>>
Perfect Effect upgrades for CW Menasor are pretty ace, got them in today.
Stopped by a Target after work today and they had all the Combaticons sans Onslaught and I passed on them mainly because Onslaught wasn't there and hasn't been spotted in brick-n-mortar yet.
>>
>>5354929

Yeah, they help turn a C to a solid B+, maybe even A-. Glad to see I'm not the only one trying to find an Onslaught at non-scalper prices though.

They are definitely in stores SOMEWHERE though, I got a friend who works in Florida at Target, he said they've got a few in stock. Doesn't do me much good considering I live nowhere near there though...

Got the add on head for Superion, it makes him look with better proportions, may be for the neck that was missing on the stock head.

Hi again, asking for more feedback.

So I got takeoff, brawl and swindle the other day, given brawl and take off to galvatronus to complete his team (after hearing they'll make a running change to brawl I'd thought I'd treat this brawl as a separate character), with swindle going to my black power prime, I'm still having a hard time working out who to get for him unless I rope in offroad and buy a hasbro airraid...

But my question isn't about my own personal meme or aspergo here, no its about bruticus, see I want the UW release, but I got 3 of the 5 members on hand, I also want the g2 bruticus but that's for another day.

So, should I be a cheap ass and put up with take off and be happy with a mostly g1 toy accurate bruticus, or should I just stick with the 3 I got and get the UW?

Another question, would grey chest onslaught be worthy of selling off later seeing how the running change will put him out of circulation thus increasing desire levels?

Off topic, galvatronus seems shorter than optimus maximus and I haven't fan modded him at all, strange, defensor is a manlet though

So my main gripe with UW Devastator was Scavenger's eyes. There's a sliver of silver paint on his visor even though there shouldnt be

Turns out its not an isolated incident, cause Youheidx has the same issue with his Scavenger!

Anyone else have this problem?
>>
>>5355075
IRON MAMMOTH
>>
>>5355815
Judging how clean it is either its intended to look more like a proper visor or the paint app machine wasn't set at the right setting for the second layer.

Least its neat, was thinking it was a blob or something, and by neat as in its tidy

With the exception of one poor anon though, the tab that locks Scrappers shovel in for combiner mode snapped for him, though that's present on both UW and CW versions

>>
>>5355909
Very much so, depending on what though it can have some consequences, much like defensor.

UW defensor has groove, and a nicer blue, but as per show he doesn't have the striped mechanical detail, but without retooling hotspot they look...unfinished as a result.

If they smothed those sections over I'd sell my hasbro set in a heart beat and chase one down, oh well.

Still cheaper than our TRU or another large chain.

How's 18.20USD sound, one chain regularly sells them at that price all the time while tru and said other chain try to undercut by one dollar during sale time, which is when their shelves are overflowing which is fucking rare
>>
That's weird, I got a message that I was warned for posting on /int/, even though I don't go on /int/.

Anyway do the diaclone molds have little pilots like the microchange guys?
>>
>>5355927
CW deluxes have been that price for a while at TRU. Though I will say their tags can be deceiving. I bought my Megatronus there the other day. The peg said 16.99, but when scanned it was 14.99.
>>
>>5355939
The RID line always has specials.
>>5355927
I've been buying most of my figures online since the deluxe are at $22 (plus $3 from taxes).

Anyway, was I the only guy who bought 2 Silverbolts (they were on clearance) to use their barrels for Onslaughts cannons?
>>
>>5355937
Yup, the diaclone Dinobots had the Inchmen that pilot them

Good luck finding them for a good price though, I've tried...
Some guy made recasts of them, but that was a while back
>>
>>5355956
Yeah there were no specials this time. I asked.

Paint the back of Scattorshor arms white so the torso has white tights and wait for the repaint of the Superion head add on from perfect effect.
>>
>>5355989
If only they cast Computron's head in maroon/dark red. If I remember right, that head is literally the only instance of black plastic on the figure. What the hell? It would've been more cost effective and accurate if the head was reddish plastic like the rest of the toy used.

Do they just have a bunch of leftover Superion heads lying around they had o use?

What color are Grand Galvatron's hands again? I'm thinking of getting a perfect effect hand/feet set for him. Also how are those? They seem to make a combiner look a lot better.

I think I'll wait and see what Takara does for this. They most likely wont do Vicky, but will do further remolding on the toys and turn it into something else. Maybe some sort of weird Arcee/Elita-1/Moonracer/other fembot/Strika combiner?

Well they are retooling Dead End as Chromedome, so don't see why they wouldn't make more to Headmasters.

Just completed Bruticus. I never had the Onslaught mold before but I think it's pretty meh overall. Robot mode and vehicle mode don't feel super fantastic, but Bruticus mode I feel is were it really shines.

I think he just might be the best combiner to come out of CW. He's the most sturdy, and has the best Legends figure to go with him. That spot would have been given to Blackjack, but he doesn't get it as he sucks at staying in place. And Shockwave at least is a decent combiner weapon.

And while Brawl kind of stinks, none of his problems are evident in Bruticus.

Bruticus should have been released over Optimus Maximus, or whatever that thing is. It felt like forever to get this guy.
>>
>>5356156

First Aid just doesn't have those feminine proportions. Using a mold intended as a male transformer for a female transformer just doesn't work. I have never seen one workable example that didn't look like a guy in drag (ex. Club Starscream).

I imagine it'll be like Windblade. They'll probably just release it with more paint, and colors more accurate to the comics (and thus a bit less hard on the eyes than the mockup Hasbro has shown).
>>
>>5356399
They did repaint Rook and Offroad to new characters and made their own version of Groove. So it seems like they are going their own way with Combiner War.
>>
>>5356402
They might not even bother with Vicky and just go onto Titans Unite, since they have to make bodies for all the ones Hasbro cheaped out on.
>>
>>5356407
It's possible, but they've basically done everything else except the G2 (yet), so I would not be shocked.

I've been saying for a long time that what TF needed deeply was a revival of the scout class, and it seems we've finally got something of a test-run for that... and it's ended up a mixed bag.
These figrues are scaled-up versions of the legends class figures, with more articulation and SLIGHTLY more complicated transformations [like, one or two minor steps]. This is not necessarily bad, but in some cases like Prime [pictured here], the altmode has suffered in the looks department, and for some like Grimlock it's affected the robot mode in some not very nice ways.
What do you think, /toy/? Is scout class a good thing? How would it best be used?

So I'm thinking about the Combaticons and how outside Swindler, NONE of them have any real depth to them character-wise save for being "Decepticon renegades who spent god knows how long in a hellish state of disembodied sensory deprivation until Starscream liberated them/gave them new bodies. So why not create some new personalities/backstories for them?

Onslaught: Military strategist/general who got "boxed" when he screwed up a planned assault ordered by Megatron that would have gotten his people senselessly killed. Basically a super daddy type team leader, who serves as a father to his men and who's loyalty is to keeping his underlings alive as opposed to needlessly risking their lives for the Decepticon cause.

Brawl: Jerk jock killing machine who got "boxed" after he mouthed off to Megatron when Megatron was pouting because it looked like someone else had killed Optimus Prime and got his head crushed. After being revived by Starscream, he's still an asshole and barely tolerated by the others. Hates Megatron and is in league with Ratbat in terms of being his muscle whenever Ratbat needs a thug to back up his schemes.

Blast-Off: Sniper who just wants to be left alone and who joined the Decepticons because he could kill people. Got "boxed" because he kept disappearing from his various squads whenever he felt like it.

Vortex: Partner of Swindle; a master "social engineering" con artist, he knows all the right questions and scams to trick people into giving up information so he can scam them. He got "boxed" alongside Swindle after a con job of them got found out by a not to thrilled superior officer, so that is how both got "boxed".
>>
>>5357102
They have personalties, they just never got used much because large ensemble cast juggling

>Blast Off - Aloof, arrogant, but secretly lonely and wishes he wasn't stuck away from the team so much.
>Brawl - Loud, hair trigger, belligerent. Rock stupid, LOUD NOISES.
>Onslaught - Strategic mastermind, prefers to make a plan instead of being on the front lines. Despite this, a skilled warrior who can back up his words when stirred to action.
>Vortex - Interrogator

OK, they can't ALL be winners.
>>
>>5357102
See >>5357123


And those personalities are fine. Not every character in such a long and ridiculously diverse cast must be the height of depth and nuance. Some are simply what they are, and are good at it.

Vortex- skilled interrogator who threatens prisoners by twerking, activating the propeller blades in his ass.

Some of those work with the canon personalities in terms of not being THAT far off.

Though I have to say that the Onslaught and Vortex ones >>5357102 are actually more interesting variations. Swindler having a partner in crime is more fun than having a generic interrogator and the idea that Onslaught is the Decepticon version of Chance Kelly's character from Generation Kill, is a nice twist and far more interesting in terms of dynamics and make him the opposite of Motormaster, who's a evil bully who runs the Stunticons through bullying and intimidation.

Plus it would explain how come Bruticus is smarter than most combiners: they all basically like each other (even Brawl) and due to Onslaught being a bro-tier leader, don't hesitate in gesalt mold to follow his orders.

>Plus it would explain how come Bruticus is smarter than most combiners: they all basically like each other (even Brawl) and due to Onslaught being a bro-tier leader, don't hesitate in gesalt mold to follow his orders.
I thought the canon version of Bruticus was dumb as rocks, hence why he's more effective when following orders than acting on his own.

Still, it would be a nice twist on the Combaticons, and could be interesting characters in a different continuity.

Could twists on other combiner members be useful? For example...
Break Neck , the Wild Rider: horribly addicted to body modifications, grafting other parts to his body, which slowly eroded away his mind and made him more eratic.
Dead End: more of a psychological bully, putting down others with droning of hopelessness.

Thoughts?
>>
>>5357266

Canon Bruticus is pretty dumb (my theory is Brawl's just too fucking dumb for the others to handle when combined). He ends up being a better soldier, but without orders he doesn't know what to do.

But most gestalts end up full retard except Devastator anyway.
>>
>>5357266
The canon version for G1 and I think UT, maybe Aligned?, I know he isn't stupid in the games, tho iirc he didn't word good, but I don't think most combiners do. My preferred personality for him is basically Deathstroke, or either of the Snakes (Solid or Naked), ya know, the ultimate soldier.
>>
>>5357301
The general canon is that Brawl is Tourettes Guy meets the Hulk, I don't know if it's ever stated that he's dumb tho.

Motormaster: Ex Cybertronian cop who Orion Pax/Optimus Prime got fired for being so fucking evil, bullying and terrorizing the civilians, that not even the ultra corrupt as fuck Senate could tolerate having him on the payroll. He's had a deep seeded hatred of Orion/Optimus ever since and joined the Decepticons out of spite.

Drag Strip: Ruthless racer and rival to Blurr; a Decepticon sleeper agent, he recruited for the Decepticons using his fame until he got outed and had to go on the run. Basically the only Stunticon with the balls to stand up to Motormaster, causing the two to be arch rivals for control over the Stunticons.

Wildrider: Disturbed mental patient who was let loose when the civil war started. Only comfortable in his vehicle mode, riding around like a maniac. Uses "Break Neck" as an alias sometimes. Was bullied into joining the Stunticons by Mototmaster.

Dead End: Horribly depressed pessimist with a death wish; joined the Decepticons simply because he thought it would be a great way to die. His longing for death pisses Motormaster off, because Dead End does not care one bit if Motormaster beats him or threatens to kill him if he does not obey him.

Breakdown: Paranoid artist who was tormented by Sentinel Prime's secret police for speaking out against Sentinel's regime. Joined the Decepticons for protection; he is Motormaster's favorite victim, in part because he is BFFs with Drag Strip.

Offroad: Asshole thug hired to serve as a replacement for any of the Stunticons if they should die or be injured or captured. Has it out for Wild Ride, who he feels is not worthy of being a Stunticon. Ironically gets along great with Motormaster, as the two are a pair of asshole bully boys.

Yes, you can. It's called opinions, and >>5354858 happens to have a different one than you. Sorry if you can't sleep at night because you're now aware of it, but that's reality. Deal with it.
>>
>>5357910

Thats a pretty nice haul. Personally though, I think Defensor would look better with CW Hotspot. UW just looks like they forgot the paint apps. I know, I know, "show accurate", but in Defensor's case show accurate means bland, unlike UW Superion VS CW.

He's not. Just like breakaway wasn't good either. Just because /toy/ makes them into forced memes doesn't mean they're good.
>>
I got Bruticus and I really like him. Shame about his tiny feet, but I got the 3rd party set coming in the mail soonish so I'm not too bothered. Also his crotch plate is shit.Someone should release one that's articulated for more posing.

Does anyone else keep onslaught's shoulders unrotated for combiner mode? I think that makes Bruticus much better looking, gives him a beefier chest and a thicker side profile.
>>
>>5358045
Thank you too, I also agree about the paint apps but honestly I think it looks good in person. If I do get another Hot Spot I hope it's an RID Prime repaint. Over all ever with all the dropped potential I have still enjoyed CW & especially UW for "finishing" Devastator. Love that thing.
>>
So Im torn between the choice of ordering UW Devastator or the US version with a perfect effect upgrade kit as a Post-Christmas Christmas present. [spoiler]Life shit made it so no one had time/energy to shop for gifts[/spoiler]

What would you guys reccomend? Im thinking of getting a devastator AND UW Superion.
>>
Is UW Devastator worth getting? I don't know if just getting the hasbro one + the upgrades is a better option.

Just get the UW one. For both Devy and Superion.

I really wish they would have sold us the motorcycle instead goddamnit

Honestly Rook is a better figure in every respect.
>>
>>5358207
At least Rook doesn't suffer from the disease known as "visible hands in alt mode syndrome."
>>
>>5358212
You mean like all the aerialbots?
>>
>>5358195
Groove has only 2 wheels, while Rook has a staggering 6.

Clearly he is the superior toy.
>>
>>5358207

I like how it looks in combine mode, that's all.

And Rook is pretty bland as a leg. He's much better as an arm.

Buy the cheap Knockoff ones from aliexpress, they're thirty bucks cheaper.

Is the KO Exhaust good?

Does anyone else use CW Groove as a shinguard?
>>
>>5358295

Damn. That's.. clever. I'm going to have to do that now.
>>
>>5358265
There's no worry over it coming across the stereotypically cheap plastic that most noutorious Knock-Offs are?
>>
>>5358271
It's decent.

I picked up my copy well before the reissue was announced, and it pretty much exemplifies the Takasa Tony masterpiece KO's. The paintwork in vehicle mode is clean and pretty well done, though it gets shaky and in some spots incomplete in robot mode(where the colours would normally continue under panels or inside of joints it tends to splotched or missing). Additionlly, one of the knees is noticablly more loose than the other. Not so weak it can't hold a pose, but noticable.

That's pretty much par for the course, they just don't have the same level of rigor when comes to QC that the normal MPs do.

That said, for $30 shipped, it's still a hell of a toy.

I will say, though, the re-issue of the MP is still available from both HLJ and Amiami for about the same price, and if you add it to another order, even with shpping, it's only going to be betwen $50-60 to the US. It's something to consider as well.
>>
>>5358265
Also, while I'm on the subject, do you get all the different colors in one go, or do you have to buy it 4 times?
Do you have to color them yourself?

I wonder if Hasbro will bring over the Deluxe Groove now that all the work is done for them. Does that happen with JPN molds, or is that not a thing?
>>
>>5358335
Seeing as how we never got Takara's TFP Breakdown as a Hasbro toy, doubtful.
>>
>>5358335
You'll just have to make-do with no translucent plastic. That's essentially how they're dealing with Afterburner.
>>
>>5358343

I don't care about translucent stuff anyway, so that'd be fine.

Shockwave has translucent plastic though.
>>
>>5358316
From every bit of feedback I've seen, its unanimously believed to be perfectly fine, plastic-wise.

>>5358329
The shipping, the cheapest one at least, stacks with every additional unit ordered, so you might want to just buy one at first to see if you like it.

Also they just come in the plastic color, no painting required.
>>
>>5358335
Failed a drop test.
>>
>>5358350
Thanx.
From the sound of things on the site, it almost seemed like you get all 4 colors in one order, but that would too good to be true, huh?
>>
>>5358351
Was that ever confirmed?
>>
>>5358295

I do. The seat on Groove's motorcycle mode seems to fit into the hollow part of Rook's roof nicely. If there were a way to secure the arms, I'd think this was intentional.
>>
>>5358396
I think one of the 'know it alls' in the fandom talked to Marc Webber about it at Botcon.

dude how long have you had that coca-cola behind that phone, it's covered in dust.
>>
>>5358456
It means that when subjected to a drop test, the mold failed.

More specifically, Drop Tests are a blanket term for certain survivability tests done for US markets to evaluate a toy's sturdiness. The toy should be able to survive dropping from certain heights onto standard flooring materials like wood paneling and linolium without shattering, which creates small, sharp shards which are choking and cutting hazards.

Note that this isn't the same as just breaking(ie a limb snapping off whole), but rather shattering into tiny fragments.

The rumour on /toy/ for a while has been that the reason the deluxe groove mold was never brought over to the US was that it failed one of these drop tests, presumably because of the large, translucent plastic windscreen. This despite the large number of motorcycle bots with similar wind screens and domes being released here in the US in the last few years.
>>
>>5358460

What'd you buy?
>>
Santa brought me the other three Bruticus limbs I needed.

Weird problem I had - Blast Off had a glob of hardened yellow paint (the exact same color of Vortex's rocket pods) stuck in the port where you plug in the combiner hand/foot.

Had to dig it out with an X-acto blade and accidentally caused a little stress on the port, but the hand still plugs in so whatever.

Now I just need to wait for my pile of loot to get here next week with Onslaught (and Scattershot, which I'm probably gonna put up on eBay).
>>
>>5358351
>>5358396
>>5358414
Nope some anon on /toy/ admitted to making it up.
>>
>>5358483
Yeah I'm sure groove hasn't/won't be released because hasbro were planning on making rook from the very beginning, considering that they made a legends groove
>>
>>5358484
>release a leader and legends Thundercracker
>release a legends and leader Skywarp
>Nope, not gonna do Groove
Makes sense.

Well groove was never a leader ya dingus
>>
>>5358494
What does one have to do with the other?

In terms of character name recognition, Skywarp and Thundercracker both have a huge leg up on Groove who, even for combiner fans, isnt even that important. i mean, maybe I'm just speaking from personal exerpience, but did Groove ever actually do anything at all noteworty? i mean, I never read the comics, but I remember the cartoon series well and he was only ever "the motorcycle that turned into a leg".

Man, 3rd party toys that cost $100 have hollowness. It's unavoidable.
