What's mp roadrage's body color like, straight red plastic, glossy or is it painted?

>>5556657
I honestly don't know. It looks like dull, red plastic in so many of the pictures, but I don't trust what anyone says.

A bunch of people were saying Hot Rod and Ironhide were unpainted, but that's bullshit. The current practice with MPs, it seems, is to put a thin coat of paint on top of plastic that is the same color. As far as I'm concerned, only way to know for sure is to see it in person.

>>5556657
its a nice and bright red plastic.

>>5556661
With ironhide it wouldn't surprise me if he's gloss injected (as in like some gundam models where the gloss is injected into the plastic during molding), though here some owners of ironhide say its full on painted red.

I just can't remember what they said of roadrage

>>5556669
>gloss injected
Wish they had done this with Wheeljack.

IDW has Strafe.

>>5556727
want a toy though. is there anything besides 3rd party fansproject ler-05?

>>5556587
Apparently a Nautica is coming, so hopefully there's a Thunderblast repaint, even if it's Takara only

>>5556739
I don't follow. A submarine and a speedboat are not very similar and they have very different transformation schemes. Seems more likely a Scourge retool for a Thunderblast and even that seems unlikely.

Gonna leave this here:

Someone saved my sketch?

>>5556657
it's red, but it's also definitely painted over red as well, on the outside of the body panels, like the old United figures. trust me on this. I own her and mine has some bad paint scuffs. If it was plastic I could just buff it out. Pretty annoyed by that.

Wait, so now Strafe is a girl Dinobot, AND a blue two headed pterodactyl?

G1 Strafe must be pissed, considering 70% of his appearances are now DInobots for some reason...

ALSO, doesnt G1 Strafe exist in IDW? how did they deal with that?

Is it new for different people to have the same name?

>>5556849
In the show? Inferno, rampage kind of, and TM2 Megatron off the top of my head.

>>5556860
In the same universe yes. Most overlap were region exclusives .

>>5556850
Strafe exists, but this version isn't like the Dinobot Movie Strafe, it's just a 2 headed dino-thing.

G1 Strafe does exist, and he's on the Lost Light (hilariously enough, one of the 2 Technobots that's still alive, the others died years ago in an event).

>>5556856
No, same "shellformer" design as the original, just the shins would be part of the front.

Yeah! Some fictional robot must be angry because he can feel emotions like real people do in the real world which is totally not fictional.

TF Devastation also took place in the cartoon and followed the style, and it looks very appropriate

I like the old stuff, too, but god damn, simmer your autism, old man. I'm not the one who gets triggered when fucking color palettes don't match up to a shitty old cartoon with no consistency.

>>5557029
This looks more like the comic you shitposted about than it does the G1 cartoon. Just so you know. 99% of the time, the cartoon was just flat colors with no attempts at shading or highlights.

>>5556824
Holy shit that head is atrocious.

I REALLY hope they don't fuck up the TM2 Megatron head for the RID Galvatron repaint. That's the only one I'm interested in.

Maybe Cheetor too, since I don't think they'll even have to remold Drift's head for that to work.

>>5556969
>Why are the colors so flat?
G1 cartoon actually had "flat" colors most of the time. You apparently don't know shit about art terminology. Not that I'm surprised.

im not just talking about the colors or anything, but like, the actual designs of the cartoon.

lets end this conversation, you're trying to argue here and i dont like it

>>5556957
This was so shitty. Instead of using a starscream body that hasn't been used in any media (like Machine Wars), they used an original design that doesn't look anything like the Sweeps, Scourge, Galvatron, and Cyclonus.

>>5557107
Of course. Why wouldn't Starscream make sure he still looked like himself, the narcissistic asshole he is?
A detail I like is the wings implying either he's honoring his fallen Seekers, or that's just what Unicron had on hand from EATING the fallen Seekers.

>>5557077

>>5556850
>>5556860

In IDW now they make a point that two bots witht he same name would identify themselves by what area they're from . In the old Marvel comics though, they made a point that only one guy could have a given name; Swoop of the dinobots used to be called Divebomb until the Predacon Divebomb beat him in a duel and won the right to his name.

>>5557191
Then there's Tankor, formerly triple changer Octane, and Tankor the Vehicon. Both are identified as Tall Tankor and Fat Tankor respectively by Maccadam's goers.

The point of Universe is to release ones that don't all feel like they are from the same setting, but a lot of different ones. Like the original had a mixture of G2/Machine Wars, All the Beast Series, Armada, Energon, and even some new molds with shifting around of things like coloration, alignment, and making all-sorts of cross-generational homages.

>>5557345
There's gonna be a Universe 3.0?

>>5557360
Who's talking about Universe?

Either way, Generations has always mostly been G1 with some other stuff thrown in. I'd much rather they use a new mold slot on some obscure G1 guy than to rehash some Animated toy who already had a toy (and doesn't need it) and even has a G1 counterpart in Classics already.

>>5557373
Two years after the third act of the current theme.

>>5557360

The original point of Universe is that Armada wasn't enough product for the sudden resurgence in Transformer interest. So Hasbro dusted off a bunch of old molds (G2, BM, RID) and gave them crazy G2 colors. Universe was also a great way for new collectors to get neat older molds.

Since Universe was popular without much tie-in, that gave enough reason for Hasbro to start the Classics line after Takara made some awesome "modern G1" designs without being limited by gimmicks. That's been what Generations and beyond was about.

To really make a Universe 2.0, it'd be about taking the neater molds from Energon, Cybertron, Animated, and Prime and give them crazy colors while selling them cheap.

>>5557365
You mean a sucker who likes throwing money away on gas.

>>5557074

Any episode of the cartoon animated by Toei had shading/highlights. It wasn't all movie-quality, but it was there. That's a hell of a lot more than 99 percent. The only episodes that looked bad are the AKOM ones, which are most frequent in season 3.

No, just that it seems like a strange choice when there are other characters like Wave Rider that have similar body and altmode.

>To really make a Universe 2.0, it'd be about taking the neater molds from Energon, Cybertron, Animated, and Prime and give them crazy colors while selling them cheap.
Lets have a test.
If hasbro actually announced this as being a thing, how would you honestly react to it? and how do you think the fandom would react to it?

I think it's an interesting topic considering people welcomed the Beast Wars repaints in AOE

>>5557457
There isn't a Wave Rider toy coming, and he doesn't have a female body. Nautica would take the least remolding to feminize

Actually with that little chest piece with the wings, it looks more like the Sky Reign torso.

Hint of Liozack having a proper robot mode, or shitty OC design? Probably the latter.

>>5557458

It'd all depend on the molds, I imagine. Throw in some shit that was always hard to get in the US or new to it (like when Universe 1.0 had a Big Convoy redeco) and actual decent toys like Bendy Prime, and it'd be alright. If it was just "Armada Sideswipe is repainted again" then it'd deflate pretty quickly.

Because the Predacons had Autobot altmodes like dinosaurs.

I think its one of the most clever repaints ever. The Fuzors and the Monsterbots are some of the more weirder points in TF history with designs unlike most others, and especially back in the mid 2000's it didn't seem like it was likely for the Monsterbots to get new toys. Its just a nice coincidence that their was a figure that happened to look similar to a Monsterbot's alt-mode.

I love the design concepts of Animated, but Derrick J Wyatt's style is just so ugly to me. It's so lanky and stiff. Safeguard, Oil-slick, Rodimus Minor, and so many other figures would look better without having to conform to the strange amorphous polygonal blob style from the show.

Lockdown and Lugnut's movieverse toys were infinity better than their animated counterparts. I wouldn't even mind on some toys were just resculpted into classics styled figures with better 5mm hands and way less chin.

honestly i think so to and i dont give a shit about the Monsterbots. if he had a new head it'd be perfect

another clever repaint for me is movie Crankcase, because he keeps the vehicle mode and gimmick of the original. again the only flaw is the head

what are some other clever repaints i wonder?~

I feel like Movie Lockdown has the most articulated neck of all toys.

I think what's funny about DJW's style is that it looks better when someone else is interpreting it. Just look at the Japanese TFA intro and it really goes to show how dynamic and exciting the designs are when they are well animated and have just a bit of refinement.

>TFW you'll never see a spiritual successor series that plays out like Masterforce
Just end me now.

>>5557550
>Bunsen Honeydew
For what purpose?

>>5557550
But that's DJW's art and I think it looks really cool there. The thing is, when you see DJW's style in the shows, , its someone else animating it. I doubt a lot of the promo art was even drawn by DJW since there tends to be a lot of different people doing merchandising art.

I feel the same way about Bruce Timm, I think a lot of the DC cartoons look dull visually, but I love his own art.

Are the individual guys that form Rail Racer any good? There's not many modern trainformers to choose from.

>>5557458
I would love it if they do more new characters like the first Universe line did. It really helped make the Transformers brand seem bigger than it was.

When the Universe line came out, there really was only about 7 or 8 years of "modern"(Cyberjets/laser rods and onward) Transformers molds. And compared to what we get per year since the movie, there really wasn't many per line. And now there's so much more they could use and do cool stuff with, especially depending how far back they could go.

>>5557558
No they're all lanky clunky figures who haven't aged well

Ok, so I Titans Returns commercial just popped up online, and Galvatron's purple looks really bad. Its making me reconsider getting the Hasbro version.

I had that initial reaction with the first promo image of TFA that everyone had, but once I saw it in motion I loved it. Some of it was iffy, but I've always had a thing for that type of proportion like with the fugitoid or mega man if that makes sense.

It's now my favorite TF series and I'm glad they finally released all the seasons on DVD and compiled both allspark almanacs in to one.

The toys were pretty damn hit or miss though.

Barber definitely isn't an exception. His stuff is just wasted potential.

>>5557934
Fine, IDWdrone, I'll round up examples for you:

>bad writing
Arcee: "Grrr I'm psychotic transsexual"

Any of the Lost Light crew members: "Gee look at how much of wiseass I am."

Chromedome: "Wow, it's sure is great that we're together in gayness together, Alternate Reality Rewind"

>bad stories
The entirety of Windblade, especially Chromia's plan to put Windy in lethal danger in order to convince her to go back to Caminus

>bad art
Ramondelli and the Japanese guy

>tumblr-pandering
Gay robots, non-binary/extra genders, Doctor Who references

>>5557956
>>tumblr-pandering
Everything is pandering in one form or another anon. You're just mad this doesn't happen to pander to you.

>>5557956
Aside form the Arcee storyline (that could be seen as "Grrr I'm psychotic seeking vengance from the dude who made experiments with me, cutting my weinner"), all those points are only MTMTE issues, read the main series and avoid the rest.

>>5557956
>and the Japanese guy
>thinking Sakamoto's art is bad
Nigga what?

>>5557970
But IDW wrote MTMTE so it counts.

>>5557971
sameface on a level even that milne guy cant touch

>>5557972
Just like Marvel wrote some awful storylines and had some of the worst artist working, you can't judge a whole series for just some stinker numbers.

>>5557976
If you hate a guy's art only because of the same face (ignoring the fact that most Transformers have always had the same kind of face), that's pretty damn dumb and trivial.

>>5557980
Bits IDWs transformers and it is a valid example of the writing that IDW does for transformers.

>>5557981
i fucking hate same face, but it doesnt matter for Sakamoto cause its just robots and he draws them very nicely.

On the whole, Marvel's artists were all competent at drawing most things, most just didn't draw particularly cool looking transformers. It's in contrast to a lot of current Transformers artists who really only know how to draw Transformers and aren't that good at anything else.

I have nothing against IDW comics at all. the transformers comics lately though are 50% an unironic joke. It's like the writers go through tumblr to see what is reblogged the most.

>>5558137

The upside was then, the internet wasn't anywhere near what it was today, which meant we didn't have to see people whining about everything because whining was confined to people mailing letters and friends.

Both comics are retarded:

btw I am an actual oldfag, I was there, there were complainers about it even then, but then it was about not liking campy British scifi
just because the nature of the fandom has changed doesnt mean it wasnt still pandering

>>5558188

>>5557870
Besides that, it would have to be massively re-engineered. We simply can't have an Animated quality figure anymore, due to the production price increases that have happened since Animated. The only way I can see anything resembling this happening, is if a third party group does something loosely based on it. That's incredibly unlikely, though.

It makes me sad.

>>5558195
There is a difference.

>>5557642

>>5557602

>>5558251
And you refuse to see how no there isn't
I've already explained it once but yes, making a nod at the Who fandom, even then IS pandering, the size of the fandom doesn't matter
I fully understand the argument you're trying to make but that nod is pandering, look how anything like that, no matter how tiny the fandom, if it shows up now has the autists raging about pandering to this or that

>>5558226
Yeah, I'm pretty certain that isn't the final retail version. What might have happened is that they needed to combine parts from multiple test shots to get a fully functional version for the shoot. This commercial might have been filmed months ago.

It ain't an argument if it's a fact. After all, is it arguing when a weatherman says that it's raining when drops of water are in fact falling from the sky? No, of course he isn't.

Yeah, you hate it because it calls you out on being EXACTLY the whiny little bitch you really and truly are.

Those who can, do.

Those who can't, shit on those who do.

It's the natural order of things

I said I like the modern comics. The old ones aren't quite my cup of tea, but I'm not hating on them.

I just hate the "hurr if you can't do it better don't criticize" argument. Have you ever criticized a Transformer although you probably don't design and 3D print them yourself?

Calm your ass down.

We aren't talking about rain. We're talking about the differences between a nod to something and pandering.

>>5558463

That's my argument you dope.
And the other guy is right anyway.

Are the takara RID decepticons worth getting over the hasbro ones?

>>5558494
Nah

>>5558500
Same thing with different paint.

>>5558501
Yeah.

>>5558518
Nope.

>>5558538
Yep.

>>5558500
The differences are mostly pretty minor. I would only suggest getting TF Adventure if it's a new mold (big Optimus), remold (Bumblebee Supreme Mode, Drift Origin), or unique repaint (the animated Dinobots, Rollbar, Roadblock.)
