Just a reminder that Legends Shockwave is on Amazon for MSRP. Or was, early as fuck this morning.
>>
>>5568785
>>5570145
I think what's bothering me, when seeing Shockwave with other figures, is the paint job. It's so matte and monochrome. If the paint was maybe a little darker with some sheen I think it'd look a lot better.
>>
>>5570240
As theres no "real" raygun to licence like the cars, they went full cartoon accurate.

Ignore the troll. They say nonsensical things in hops that someone gets triggered by it.

>>5570253
True, but I don't remember the G1 animation models looking shiny, yet I think it added a lot to the appearance of Soundwave. Of course the carbots look great, but as you said, they had to match the cars they licensed. Maybe Hasbro will be a little more bold? But they'll probably mess it up somehow.

Idiots blurted this shit out constantly. It's still hard to believe people thought Groove wouldn't come out eventually.

Maybe the sting of Prime Breakdown and his three retools still lingers deep.
>>
>>5570380
I live in canada so as far as I'm concerned it never will comeout
>>
>>5570161
The real reason Hasbro didn't want to do it is because Groove wouldn't fit in their packages very well. I mean look at what they had to do to poor Groove to get him to fit. I haven't seen such a shitty bubble since Battle Blades Bumblebee. It'll be a lot easier to sell that as an online exclusive or something since there's no way Johnny 10 year old would buy something that looks so dumb in the package.
>>
>>5570552
>there's no way Johnny 10 year old's mom would buy something that looks so dumb in the package.
Johnny 10yo doesn't have a goddamn clue who Groove is. 90% of retail transformers Sales are soccer moms mustakenly buying whatever Transformers character they think says "Optimal something"
>>
>>5570552
I wonder why they didn't just him in vehicle mode? They did the reverse for Voyager ROTF LongHaul since he was too big in vehicle mode.
>>
>>5570563
What about when Johnny's little brother Jimmy tags along when mom goes shopping and thinks it looks cool?
>>
>>5570161
Is this the part where people suddenly like Groove over Rook because poorfags are actually able to get him now?
>>
>>5570589
I still see faggots saying they prefer rook, citing reasons such as scale (in the team where a rescue helicopter is the size of a police car).
>>
>>5570603
What about because Rook is cool?
>>
>>5570605
No shit that's a reason they'd prefer him, personal taste, I just find it funny when they give reasonings like the one I said.
>>
>>5570611
A space passenger jet is only one size class up from a lightcycle. Scale is something that rarely works outside of intentional ones for interaction gimmicks like docking.
>>
>>5570603
>>5570611

Rook is easily my favorite next to Hot Spot of the Defensor releases we got in the US.

It's nice we're gonna get Groove though. Maybe. If he doesn't get sold out and scalped to fucking hell and back within 5mins of being put online.
>>
>>5570614
Agreed, scale is irrelevant in transformer, so it's not a good reason for disliking Groove, Anyone have that picture of scale accurate Bruticus?

>>5570616
I can understand that, I have him and he and the swindle remold I think are the most articulated of the deluxes. Good luck if you try to get him, I got of sick Hasbro's game and got the UW.

I skipped the UW Defensor because he had terrrrrrible lack of detailing.

I think it'd actually look a ton better without Blades. That would mean the protectobots would all be road vehicles and look visually consistent without the splash of random red..
>>
>>5570655
I actually got Rook with the intention of replacing Blades. For the short time he wasn't broken he looked great.

>muh drop test
I'm so pleased that people actually believed that one and ran with it to the forums.
>>
>>5570655
Exactly. He sticks out and is way too thin for how beefy defensor looks.
>>
I think the real reason Groove didn't get an initial US release was because the mold wasn't even fully finished by the time all the Protectobots came out in the US. It was too late to use the Deluxe Groove for the US Protectobots by the time it actually came out.

UW Defensor only came out like this winter, right? CW Defensor was already out during the summer.
>>
>>5570704

This seems incredibly likely. They probably had to get Takara to let'em use the mold, and even then it likely wasn't done until way past Hasbro's own release schedule planning.

It's why I'm expecting Liokaiser/Computron by this summer, before TW stuff starts arriving because that'll fill the void in their release schedule, especially if they add in Groove and maybe chunky-tits Blastoff.

That's basically what I was thinking. I figure we'll see some form of the new Blastoff mold. Although honestly I don't mind Takeoff, he looks nice.

>>5570726
Take Off is good with Galvy.
>>
>>5570787
I've found that the darker colors are best with him visually. I used off road and then the combaticons, minus brawl, and the only one that sticks out is swindle because he's a light color.
>>
>>5570726
>>5570787
I really hope UW Blastoff gets a solo release too so I can take all the "replacement" combiner members and make a completely original gestalt (as in no repeat charcters) using them on Galvatronus.
>>
>>5570889
But Hasbro blast off isn't a replacement character. He's blast off.

Yo, who would want a Masterpiece Jhiaxus figure? I would absolutely love one.

He's a pretty big villain to not have an accurate figure yet. How many figures does he even have? like 3?
>>
>>5571009
But its the laziest toy redeco ever.

A new head would of helped eased the pain of being a differently colored slingshot, my guess for why it came to be was a new to hit a release target.

Meaning not enough time for a meaningful shuttle to be made
>>
>>5571022
The thing about mp lines is they have design cues not only to make something accurate to the original toy but to its animation model.

Jhiaxus only (apart from his old rid figure) has a generations armada toy and comic apperances, the only comic transformers we've gotten have been redeco's of existing transformers (side swipe and grimlock), its not looking promising for him as it would basically be a totally original toy design.

Unless they make an mp armada starscream and just retool that for him as an online exclusive
>>
>>5571023
Okay. That's not the point. He's not a replacement character. And we do have a shuttle mode now though its far from meaningful.
>>
>>5571004
G1 isn't the only canon. Cybertronians reformat all the time.
>>
>>5571034
>And we do have a shuttle mode now though its far from meaningful

Its a shuttle, with an accurate head, with all the design elements in place, with the downside being its all crammed into cw styling.

Its still a cw/uw toy, not an mp, for what it is, it ticks the boxes, just came out jangly as a result.

Its a matter of opinion, I see it for what it is and the fact its a new mold hits my desire levels, I only got jetoff to help build my galvatronus and he was on sale.

As it stands we get a lazy redeco with a packed in excuse in the form of a text bio, or a bulbous homage to him, we can't win with these "toys".

I kinda dread if hasbro gives us a hasbro version true blastoff, the deco would be fucked into oblivion
>>
>>5571047
Can't be worse that the Tak deco, I don't care if it's cartoon accurate, it look atrocious.
>>
>>5571033
Well desu you could probably do a heavy retool off of an MP Scourge model. Jhiaxus' G2 comic alt-form was basically a yellow/silver version of Scourge but without the lights, and with added wings. Maybe Xtransbots will do it with Andras? idk.

Jhiaxus is a BA character, and I'd really love at least a comic accurate figure, if not a MP. Hell I'd love figures of a lot of the G2 comics, they had some pretty cool designs.
>>
>>5571059
>Well desu you could probably do a heavy retool off of an MP Scourge model

Which doesn't exist yet...while I see what you mean better off hoping xtransbots have a go.

I agree with the g2 comic designs, awesome stuff
>>
>>5571047
Okay. Again. Because you dont like it doesn't change the fact that it's not a new or replacement character. Its blast off. You only have 3 replacement limbs so good luck with a 4th.
>>
>>5571070
>Because you dont like it doesn't change

I don't like the fact its a cheap redeco, new character or not why are you defending cost cutting?
>>
>>5571074
I didn't. You called him a replacement character. You're not realizing that he isn't a new character. You not liking the toy doesn't mean he's a new or replacement character. I'll have to repeat myself before you get it.

That is literally just a lazy repaint Hastak made for money on a old character. Pic related is what Jhiaxus is supposed to look like. We do not have ONE color accurate looking figure for him, Third party, or otherwise.

...wut

To best answer the how part, perhaps they asked if they can get an allocation, being online stores rather than brick and mortar (that and PC is getting alot of steam since they can get those online exclusives) maybe they just got permission.

Time will tell, for all I know they are lining up and buying shit like a regular joe, though how pc is getting away with groove at regular prices makes me wonder.

They just better be prepared to refund me if they fail to acquire him, I can bitch pretty hard like the most autistic of autismos

Hasbro should have the last wave be re-issues of Quickslinger, Break-Neck, Groove, and Shuttle Blast Off in roughly toy-based colors just to meme on everyone and make people upset.

>>5571455
...I actually want this to happen despite owning all of the UW releases bar defensor

>>5571458
Right now he's an exclusive only for taiwan, we have no confirmation as to what other people will do, my guess is TRU might try something similar for everyone else.

They NEED to ramp up desire levels, so why not have more hurdles, considering CW's last wave is out there is little chance he'll end up at regular detail.

Unless say a tru somewhere gets 50 units and no one bothers to take part and end up pushing him at clearance which could happen, if we're lucky

>>5571539

Well, they're doing TR when, fall? Thats a lot of time to cover, and all we know they have is Computron, the G2 sets, and Liokaiser. Tossing in Groove and maybe shuttle Blastoff could help fill the gap a bit.

i prefer the gen windblade version based on that pic but i may pick it up depending on reviews.

even with its faults, gen windblade is quite a dynamic sculpt and this rid version just doesn't look like its going to be capable of the same range of expressive poses. also not feeling the butt kibble. it's cool for people who want a sturdier figure i guess.

1: Absolute shit gestalt ratchets that make first release Motormaster look good. He can barely stand.

2: No tabs to lock ANYTHING in for gestalt mode. Shit, even Motormaster had a lock,

3: Floppy feet unable to hold Skylynx's weight in robot mode.

1 and 3 can be fixed probably with just some tolerance tweaks and entirely new ratchets, but 2 would need remolding to fix to add locking mechanisms.

As a seeker fag my opinions may be biased, I can't go by price since my currency differs to everyone else's here, what I can tell you is what I know of the molds.

mp03 (they grey guy) has a better jet mode seeing how they tried hard, almost too hard to hide the jet kibble, but made for more robot kibble in the process, and it can't stand on its own feet too well due to their design, hence the flight stand with them is required, the hasbro mp3 and to that extent the "usa edition" (same thing but slightly cleaner) offers a good g1 homage and a "used" jet fighter deco.

mp11 (the one on the right) is the most updated, it looks and feels like a retool of mp03 as it shares similar parts, but with a better head design (tossing out the changeable face feature as a compromise, meaning no smirking starscream), LESS kibble (but exposing robot parts in jet mode), and for the takara release they even gave you the crown cape and shoulders for his coronation appearance, tossing out the flight stand as a compromise.

mp11 is the better robot between the 2, redesigned feet help it stand better, the cape as mentioned (only on takara mp11/takara sunstorm releases) and virtually no parts forming (the nullrays have a swing arm meaning no parts removal required unless you're lazy), I'm a fanatic of the mold and because I'm a cheap ass I own all current hasbro deco's which do the job for the most part (though thundercracker pops out a bit).

The decos are normal hasbro vs takara fair (toy accurate to g1 accurate respectively) with a few creative aspects between them (insignia's flip flopping between them no matter which company its from), and between the 2 starscream variations it depends WHICH says starscream to you.

Hasbro's one has a flight stand, flat colored head, more yellow canopy and blue nose cone, takara's features a glossy head OR flat (asia release), grey cone (painted, blue under it oddly), crown and cape.

Take your pick

It's still weird that the first panel is saying that their faces are fleshy. Probably just an artist that doesn't care or part of their system that's never been shown.
>>
>>5572020
It's okay. I bought the recent MP-11T version of the mold, and it's my first experience with it. It's dated as fuck, and the torso can be a hassle when you're trying to pose it, but overall it looks pretty great in both modes.

I would probably never buy the Starscream version of the mold because the gray plastic looks like the cheapest shit ever, especially on the Hasbro releases.

Even the old guard has autism squirting out of it's fucking eyeballs.

It's 2,500 yen on Mandarake plus shipping. It would be less than $40 to import it.

Fucking scalpers scalping my fucking shit.

Got Buzzsaw and Chop Shop at least. The buzzard is bigger than I thought he was. His transformation is silly though, from bird to brick to brick with treads.

visually it's not much of a step up above the original toy. More CGI-accurate ape, but with really bad kibble. Mouth and arm guns... which were done on the Robotmasters toy 10 years ago so they're not new. The exact same goofy elbow joints as the original toy, too, which look bad when the arms are bent.

The only consolation is the possibility of a $30 KO version.

they started offering a cheaper shipping option, but I've noticed whenever I select that, they drag their heels for 3-4 days before sending out. If I choose Fedex Ground for $2 more, they send next day.

i feel like you and i are not looking at the same figure. Primal looks phenomenal. I get the impression that you dont want to like it, for whatever reason i couldn't care any less

It's a bit retarded, but it's not actually a cigar or a sparkplug. Kup got royally fucked up in the comics via getting stuck on a planet with these highly radioactive crystals, and those 'cigars' are basically lil' tubes with crystals in'em since Kup would die from withdrawl.

Or something.

G1 Prime: John Wayne and Jesus' love child.
Bayformer Prime: Asshole who preaches peace and love while murdering everything in his path.
IDW Prime: Good intentioned leader who is always wrong about everything.
BW Primal: Not actually Prime, just a similar name.

I actually love this in the movies. OP is just as ruthless as Megatron ever was. He's not in charge of half a population of warrior robots for nothing.

Does anyone think the Bay movies could all be cut together into like two pretty decent movies? Youd probably keep a lot of the first one and then piece together the other ones and then quite a bit of the most recent one. I'll have a lot of time come August and was thinking of attempting it for my own enjoyment.

This really has been pissing me off for a while now. This only works if he eventually gets better, but he hasn't, he just fucks up in other ways.

Never watched Armada, so I can't give any estimate on him.
>>
>>5572528

Ehh, it's not really him. He generally does make good calls, but the IDW-verse seems to be intent on lampooning Optimus to the point of ridiculousness, in the same way IDW Prowl is basically the worlds hugest asshole but no one actually just caps the fucker, or how Spike is just a tremendous douchebag.

I don't think theres anything of worth in any of the Bayformer movies. I mean, for example, the Ghostbusters reboot is going to pretty much rape every fans childhood in the same way the Bayformers movies did, the difference here is that movie is going to bomb into the floor while Bayformers is going to continue buttfucking the franchise for another 3-4 films with 100% certainty.

At the very least, with the success of Prime/RiD, FoC/WfC & Devastation, and the Generations line itself, Hasbro's nowhere near as close to totally losing the reigns as they were in 2009-10
>>
>>5572543
The difference is the original Ghostbusters movies were fantastic, whereas the original Transformers cartoon was a slightly-above-average moichandise-selling device with decent voicework.
>>
>>5572543
Because the Transformers movies have their own style of overwhelming and alien feeling Transformers juxtapose with stupid human bullshit.

Agree to disagree.
And raping your childhood? Really? Are you twelve?

>The difference is the original Ghostbusters movies were left fairly well alone and became considered classics, whereas the original Transformers cartoon was iterated to the point that the average joe audiencegoer didn't have any standard to hold the Bay movies to.

FTFY
I'm willing to bet that if the mid-2000s hadn't been a breeding grounds for fucking terrible Transformers adaptations, the Bay movies would have gotten a lot more outrage (at least from the 2nd movie on).
I'm saying that as someone who predominantly grew up with early 2000s Transformers cartoons (Armada, RiD) and didn't start giving a shit about the series as a whole until near the very end of Animated when a friend started showing me stuff like G1, the Movie, Beast Wars, etc.
That's when I started realizing everything wrong with Bay's adaptations and that was around the time RotF hit. I know a lot of people my age started really railing Bay around that time too.

People exaggerate online.

But truthfully, the movies just really are a low point for me when it comes to Transformers. The movie designs are painfully terrible, and the stories are shit.

It's all wasted potential. Even IDW at it's lowest points is better than anything the Bayformers movies shat out.

I can see why other people might like it of course, they're all a decent popcorn flick.

To be fair, Platinum are massive fucking Westaboos.
>>
>>5572575

That and it wasn't something they set out to make, they just got contracted into making it. Which was a great choice, because Platinum puts actual effort into shit it makes, and it shows.
>>
>>5572579
Yeah, I'm hoping Devastation is kind of a ways to test the waters for more full-blown G1 brawler games by Plat.

Speaking of vidya, whatever happened with High Moon? After they shit the bed with RotDS I haven't heard anything about them. Their games were BASED.
>>
>>5572430

Bot mode looks perfect and worthy of praise.

The alt mode looks rushed like most MPs lately. It's very much just an updated version of the og primal toy only with an actually good and show-accurate face and hands, but unfortunately the waist down is a complete shit show. Look at the reflection of the mirror. From the waste down it's literally worse than the original.

Kup has been my favorite character since I saw the movie as a child in the 80s (not in theaters, on VHS in 87 or 88) I've been holding out hope since Magnus that we get him soon. There are two 3p companies that are supposedly doing him but all they've ever shown are head sculpts, it's bumming me out. If Kup looks as bad as new Roddy I'll be twice as bummed.
>>
>>5572507
Armada Optimus' thing is sort of being stoic and confident in public, but privately being an unsure leader who is tired of his role and conflicted. This is most seen in two instances; one where he offers Hot Shot the Matrix o succeed him, and secondly at the end of the series when he sees the Matrix floating in space and decides not to take it as he feels himself unworthy, having succumbed to his inherent violent nature and fighting Galvatron, which only served to help Unicron by fueling him with negative energy.

both modes look like shit, but that's not a suprise because >beastwars
beast TFs are at their best when they're not trying to look convincingly like flesh-and-blood animals.

moreover, the only decent head on that thing is the full faceplate one, because holy shit those lips look retarded. I -know- those sculptors can do the "robot with lips" look without it looking that bad, goddamn.
