Think it'd work out well enough to just take the arms or legs off of the little dudes when they happen to stick out too much on the back of the heads? That's the only thing bugging me about Scourge

>>5565061
She even has trigger discipline!

>>5565103

Taking off the legs would probably make the head too skinny from the side. Arms, it might make the legs look odd from the front since the legs might then be visible?

tl;dr You're probably gonna be unhappy no matter what you do, and given how tiny the heads are you'll probably think it looks better in person.

>>5565103
Just remove the arms or track a head of one rts junker Scourge/cast a copies of rts Scourge, but then the head would just hang on the back of the altmode.

Head over to the TF General thread at /co/ and you'll find out.

Anyone have the new MP Hot Rod? Thinking about putting an order in.

>>5565103
What bugs me is that you can't just leave the head on. You have to remove the head to transform it.

>>5564907
Reprolabels a shit. That's an Ocean Designs dry transfer. You can get them from BBTS, or, even easier, ebay.

goddammit.

>>5565281
He's the size of a Voyager, or at least as big as the Springer mold. He's the same height as my Cloud Rodimus.

>>5565339
>>5565341
>>5565347
I have the black sector 7 version.

He's a really good scout.

DOTM Laserbeak. That toy is still one of my favorites.

>>5565278
>small

He's like 7 inches tall. Thats Voyager sized man. Thats not small.

>>5565356
I mean if you're okay with paying almost triple a voyager price for something the same size I guess you'll try to make it sound better than it is.

>>5565339
>>5565341
>>5565347
I almost bought him yesterday, but I feel like he's one of those that won't be as fun in hand.

>>5565368

Theres no other good Hot Rod figures around is the problem. At least it's not like MP Magnus, who has less range of articulation than the CW Leader Mags.

>>5565371
There are other hot rods. Plenty actually. Unless you're anal over using Rodimus.

>>5565368
Some people have different budgets than others. He costs less than a Third Party figure of similar size, and he's a really great Hot Rod toy.
If you can't afford him, tough shit for you, however I can afford him and enjoy him, regardless of size.

>>5565378
It's nothing about affording. Its about knowing what's really worth the price. You people always try the poorfag argument like it's valid.

>>5565377

Which ones? The ridiculously overpriced Cloud repaint of Springer? The tiny CW Legends that barely looks like him? The old Henkei one thats almost as expensive as the MP with bad articulation? The G1 one thats as brick as any other G1 figure? Ones from other series that don't look like G1 Hot Rod?

There really is no other GOOD Hot Rod figure out there that isn't already as, more, or only a tiny bit less, expensive than the MP. And at that point, you might as well just get the MP.

>>5565386
Oh so you are anal.

>>5565389

It's not anal, it's about sense. Why would I buy an old-ass Henki HR for almost the same price as a MP, which is smaller, doesn't look as good, and has less articulation? Makes no sense.

>>5565391
But that ain't your only choice.

>>5565391
Yeah, the classic/generations mold They keep using is a piece of shit. With as prominent as he is in the comics, I can't believe he hasn't gotten a new deluxe mold.

>>5565383
He definitely is worth the price, having him in hand, way more worth it than a $15 deluxe that's hollow as shit.
If you don't want to buy him, don't, but it's not stopping people from buying him.

>>5565386
TFA Rodimus is a great toy, unless you're just looking for geewun no fun.

>>5565158
Comic Windblade is so CUTE!
Toy Windblade, though...

>>5565404
Not that guy, but I honestly forgot that existed. I bet there's an IDW head for him on shapeways.

>>5565404

See >>5565386
>Ones from other series that don't look like G1 Hot Rod?

Animated might as well be Bayformers for how much it looks like actual Transformers. The stylized stuff doesn't look BAD, but it also doesn't look like Transformers.

>>5565408
Transformers constantly changes their looks. He looks like a transformer to everyone else. You're just another geewunner simpleton that can't move on.

>>5565383
>uses words like worth and price

Look at this guy over here, Get over yourself. You either like the toy, so you get it or you don't and you don't. Price shouldn't factor in to how much you like something.

>>5565404
I like my robots to look like robots, not misproportioned comic book heros.

>>5565428
>Price shouldn't factor in to how much you like something.
This is the worst economic thought and is why so many people are in horrible debt.

>>5565431
Robots can have all kinds of proportions because they arent human. You want them to look like people and not robots.

>>5565339
Yeah. HFTD Terradive. He's probably one of my all time favorite deluxes now.

>>5565431
Check out these G1 accurate robots.

>>5565439
No, those are two separate things. If you like something, you should decide to get it. THEN, if price is an issue in actually obtaining it, then thats a separate decision.

But then, we're not talking about affordability anyway.

>>5565478
I didn't say anything about G1. I just said robots. Just standard, regular looking robots. You act like simple, or blocky designs are bad or something.

>>5565485
Then you're contradicting what you said.

>>5565488
>regular looking robots
You know there's so many different kinds of robots that look so fucking different from each other, right?

>>5565383
>Its about knowing what's really worth the price.
Well worth is a matter of opinion. Voyagers today are double the price of what they used to be, so maybe they're not worth the price now.

>>5565445
>Robots can have all kinds of proportions because they arent human.

You're actually retarded, yes? Animated DOES look like people, that's the problem. Exaggerated super hero proportions. It's stupid. I'm sorry your desire for something "new" and "fresh" has led you to accept any new thing, as shitty as it is but keep it to yourself.

>>5565489
Affordability =/= value

>>5565425
That's pretty silly. I enjoyed the Animated aesthetic, but there's plenty of people that dislike it who aren't obsessed with G1. That's one of the cool things about Transformers, you can have drastically different looking lines, but no line will please everyone.

ITT Bayformer/Anitarded apologists

>>5565488
Simple, blocky designs are boring and not something I would spend my money on.
Regardless, you have an extremely limited view on what robots look like and I don't think Transformers is a franchise for you.

>>5565503
>does look like people
Nope. G1 looks more like people than animated does.

I was busy for a while so I haven't kept up with the TR stuff. Is the Hasbro Fortress Maximus no come with the Master Sword, or his Gun?

Do we know if other releases have those weapons?

You can go fuck yourself. Animated was awesome and so were the toys.

You didn't make any kind of argument. You're just saying you want your robots to look like humans.

I think they were aiming at partial accuracy to the g1 toys...with the animation models and then here comes the mp's.

I know I won't be liked, but I'm such a massive faggot for the mp11 mold, IF they do a 3.0 for the jets it'll have to have the rear of the robot perfect, as it stands now its all front with very little things to correct, since the jets are pretty much pure perfection, even with the jet kibble issues which have plagued them since mp03.

Really? I only just bought my first version of it with MP-11T, and while I like it, I don't think I would ever willingly buy it again. I had long been holding out for them to give the Seeker mold another try, but it seems they're content with repainting/retooling it to high heaven, so I caved when I saw light blue Thundercracker. Same reason I've yet to buy an MP Grimlock. As revered as the mold is, it seems pretty dated.

Leave the new shit for the new series, Generations is for the old series, though I will admit I don't see how the base mode affects the robot/vehicle, they all seem like after thoughts so far.

Does anyone feel Generations doesn't live up to it's name? It'd be good if they did more from the other past series (thrilling 30 had some good stuff though).

>>5566555

PCC Sledge is surprising posable and expressive, I don't have any pics but trust me.

Agreed, though I wish the shovel joints were tighter so he could wield Throttler as a drill in robot mode.

>>5566568
I just find it funny that his combiner head is the same size as the regular head.

Demolishor and Scavenger would be awesome, but I think the most likely Armada figure right now is Sideways due to the headmaster gimmick.

There's a rumor going 'round that we're getting a big-ass Tidal Wave with a Broadside remold at some point. Hope that's true. Although, the original Tidal Wave toy is still pretty solid.

It probably won't be a Titan class though, but still.
How would they do Broadside? His appearance changes a whole lot.

>>5566634
They'd just pick a design to homage and update it. Hopefully the more released-toy-accurate one.

>>5566634
It could be like Armada Megs.

They make Broadside, then just paint it purple with a new head.

Voyagers are what, 30 bucks now? MP Hot rod is $57 at HLJ. You stupid, stupid shitposter.

Wait, Hasbro's been big on toy-accuracy with their Combiner war releases. So they'd go for the design that was on shelves.

Japan would go for no-neck because it was in the cartoon more.

>>5566334
Alright so those stand-alone heads. Do they go on Deluxe or Voyagers, or are heads all a standard size? I don't see how a deluxe-sized head would look good on a Voyager body, or even a Leader.

>>5566682
All heads fit all bodies.

>>5566679
We'll have to wait and see, if it's even true. Personally I'm more worried about the size.
I want Broadside to scale well with Generations Springer and Sandstorm, but Tidal Wave to be as big as possible.

>>5566682
The Leaders have helmet pieces that go over the heads to make them not look as puny. It's more obvious on Blaster.

>>5566634

I'd guess Voyager is likely if we get one, or at most, Leader sized.

Which is fine. I don't have room for 2ft tall monstrosities.

Things that could be improved:

-Upper arms black parts are missing the fur texture
-Shoulderpads don't cover the white part of the upper arm completely in ape mode
-The gorilla chest and face are too blueish and the fingers don't have the same color (they should)
-Shoulder cannons are a bit too short, should be telescopic

Most of the Animated toys are close enough without needing the MP treatment IMO. Sculpts are alright, articulation is usually adequate if not amazing, so on. It's not even close to the jump from G1 to MP Sideswipe or something. Even less room for improvement than Optimus Primal, and there's already plenty of people in the "it's not *that* different" camp despite the positive feedback.

Only people who like itare people who care for the original headmaster characters/toys, but collectors already buy toys anyway.
I don't see how headmasters are gonna attract new buyers/kids, or cater to collectors who don't care for the gimmick

>>5567159
Eh, I guess that's a valid point, but I don't think the TW line seem to emphasize much on the fact the heads are humans though, most people will just see the head as a smaller robot.

>>5567167
>Because it's not really cool at all?
Opinion and all.

The idea of a little vehicle pilot that then combines with the robot is pretty cool to some people.

Unless you're an adult with a mental disability that doesn't know how to keep their shit together.

>>5567171
To be fair, I understand why some people like it.
To clarify, it's making a whole mainline based on it that seems weird to me.

I guess he's just losing his head.

>>5567174

CW was a whole line of gestalts. Guess they're just going to do theme lines for a bit and then Earth Wars (or whatever) will be ???

>>5567174
Is it out of nowhere? Yep. But again there's no reason not to. Its just for fun. At least it doesn't completely mess with the figure like combining did.

>>5567174
I'm annoyed the heads aren't compatible with the G1 toys. It seems like something that would've been a bigger sales draw to the older collectors, doubly so for anyone wanting a head for their vintage bot without spending $40 for one on eBay, since so many of the 80s HM heads are getting made without a body to go with them. But no, if Hasbro can fuck up an idea, they will.

I also worry that the tiny heads serving as a neck joint is going to be a massive breakage hazard, since that can't be more than a 3mm thick leg in that joint.

>>5567179
Earth Wars will be gimmick-less besides changing from robot to alt mode. Get ready for the 84 guys again.

>>5567189

Sounds good to me. Weren't some of the older CHUG molds pretty shitty?

>>5567196
yes, yes they were.
universe 2.0 Tankor/Octane springs to mind immediately

>>5567196
Some.

Honestly I would like a good non-mp g1 wheeljack. Every one that's released is just off in some way or another.

>>5567179
>>5567180
I guess I just don't like that they're forcing gimmicks in all lines. Feels like we're back to the Unicron Trilogy days.
They already have those minicon things in RiD and all those weird lines like Construct-A-Bots, Kreo, the punchy things, etc. So the Generations line could go gimmick free.

I guess you're right though, headmasters don't mess with the figures much if you just ignore it, so I guess it's nothing to fret about.

>>5567179
>>5567189
>Earth Wars
It's gonna be pretenders, calling it.

>>5567186
New HM heads would probably look terribly out of place on the old toys. And most people would probably want an original head anyway. It's a neat idea, but not something I think would be a big sales draw.

>>5567189
Good, I want a real 84 prime voyager.

>>5567196
Yeah. I'm hoping for new Datsuns, Ratchet/Ironhide, and Sideswipe.

I like Universe Sunstreaker but I don't like the round hood-chest and that awful headsculpt for the sideswipe retool.

>>5567200
Not Ironhide or galvatron? Tankor was better than those 2. The other 2 didn't have to worry about fitting a third mode in either.

>>5567203
>just don't like that they're forcing gimmicks in all lines
At least it's something new.

The problem is the focus is not as spread as it should be. CW was full of characters with more modern toys and tw, while not as bad, is still wanting to focus on only a few. We just had a brainstorm for example.

>>5567189
Well, I hope we get good Optimus and Megatron figures this time around.
It's funny when you think of it, but in 30+ years of franchise and we still don't have "definite" CHUG toys of the two franchise leaders.

CW Optimus was wasted opportunity, as they shared molds with MM instead of making an actual Optimus toy.
CW Megatron... is kinda weird.

Most people have third party OP and Megatrons on their shelves.

>>5567223
What about the original classics? They were literally upgraded modern versions of their g1 selves.

Classics Optimus is totally a definitive toy IMO. The blob-style fists are the only thing that feel outdated.

People hate on the "kibble" but any bash that removes it doesn't look right IMO. Sharp sculpt, great articulation, good design.

If the original bright colors aren't your thing, there are tons of options between all the Takara versions and such.

>>5567223

Well, MP Prime is as perfect as you'll get, and CW Megs is pretty good. I have him, really like him.

Promo pics made CW Megs look really stiff to me, but in hand he turned out to be a great classics default/MP stand-in hybrid. Good buy.

It's weird, he started out super hard to find and expensive online, then everywhere, then right back into bloated price territory.

>>5567226
I like the Optimus mold, but it's showing it's age. Many collectors have since replaced him with another OP figure.
I do like it a lot, but it's time for a new figure already.

NERF Megatron is silly and I wouldn't really count it as a definite version of the character.
I know the G1 version is silly too, but still.

>>5567241
MP10 is perfect, indeed.
I mean for the CHUG line though.

I have mixed feelings about CW Megatron, but I guess he's the closest we have so far.

Still looking forward for new figures of the two leaders.

>>5567245
He still looks stiff to me in person. Those legs just don't do it for me or else I'd go for him.

>NERF Megatron is silly and I wouldn't really count it as a definite version of the character.

That's tough though.

Being based on an actual gun is hard to do. Hell even gun colors are hard to do for the US. he's a pretty good figure, though.

>>5567252

Oh don't get me wrong, not even a geewunner.

I'm not asking for a Gun Megatron, just a Megatron that looks cool and is a decent size, I actually like him as a tank.

CW Megatron would be perfect, it's exactly what I'd like, but the execution isn't too great.
The stiff , awkward legs, and weird shoulders really ruin it.

The figure looks weird in pictures, and fells a different kind of weird in person. It's supposed to be my dream Megatron, but it's just weird, hella weird.

On a more minor pet peeve, his head is huge, making the figure look cartoony. Fine to some, but not my cup of tea, as the Armada variant has a more proportionate head.

I also really like WFC Megatron, would be perfect to me if he was a voyager.

>>5567268
This guy gets it, the WFC leaders were great and should have been Voyagers.

>>5567255

The Hasbro colors are garish as fuck, but the Takara repaints are pretty damn nice. And his gun mode reminds Me of Vash's handcannon. Classics Megatron isn't the best figure, but it's one of the better options out there.

>>5567272

It looks cool, but damn - what a waste of budget overall. One Optimus is plenty. Whatever they put into that could have been put into an even more involved Computron, or maybe another unique weapon or two for the deluxes - which was definitely needed.

Like, holy shit, I don't need every truck dude to have an axe.

>>5567239
y'know, looking at that picture reminds me. we've had all these addons for that mold, and the one thing none of them ever do is have something to stabilize the "door" panels in robot mode.
that swivel joint is the only thing on my classics optimus that's lost tension over the years. it slightly annoys me that I'm apparently going to have to learn 3d modeling and design a brace for it myself, given all the crap people have made to stick on that mold.

>>5567364

You have to consider, for 1995, it holds up really really well.

Meh, he's a neat design, and I admit I got into collecting shortly after his time, but I never really saw the appeal. His crazy back and forearm kibble really turn me off.

Apart from my MP-10, my favorite prime is the recent Legends guy, the Takara version with the shiny paint. He's pretty dynamic. I know a ton of people have this "hurrr, he's a small toy, Optimus is big, he should be a big toy!" complex, and generally hate on Legends, but... this guy does basically everything Classics/Henkei Prime does, and with less forearm kibble, so he's a win in my book.

>Who hates Legends?
Not most, but there is certainly a small contingent of people who believe small toys are inherently bad, especially when they're depicting larger characters.

For the record, my favorite Megatron and Shockwave are also Legends. Pic related.

Really? I got him on TFSource for 30 bucks, by himself. That's way overpriced for something that comes un-assembled AND unpainted, though. I just really wanted a little Grimlock. He was a fun build though. The way his tail screws in is dumb because it naturally unscrews itself during transformation.

Ah fuck it, thread's getting long in the tooth, anyway. Here's a pic I took a couple of weeks ago while building him.

that's way way too much
factor in the shipping to where i am, it'll be doubled

Haha. It's like Wheeljack learned his lesson the first time and building much smaller dinobots now.

There's a preorder on BBTS for 30.99.
Hopefully they'll eventually get him in.

Or, he's actually still on TFSource for 30 bucks.

Fuck I wish those shiny Tak legends were still available. Especially Megs.

His side didn't bother me. It's the chest. The head is kind of off too, but the chest bugs me more. I never owned the mold till I found pipes on sale. He's neat. Not amazing, but neat. Considering going for the nemesis prime version.

I agree when it comes to established characters willingly becoming headmasters, it's stupid, but if it's a small bot that control a bigger body, that works, like how they did it in the HM anime.

I fucking hope so, hopefully they'd do all the decepticon designs.

They'd probably only do the most famous ones and force the gimmick onto the rest.

Personally, I hope it's gonna be Actionmasters done like Krok here.
It would be much easier to do as you just have to do normal transformer and give them an accessory of some sort.
