Transformers General - Keep on Groovin' Edition

First for Power Core Combiners

>>5572641
I didn't buy the crappy Hasbro one in hope of this coming to America. I bet it doesn't.

>>5572641
You should know the drill by now. At the absolute last second of Combiner Wars, in limited quantities, scalped into oblivion and resold at an inflated price.

>>5572641
Hold your horses on Shuttle Blastoff. UW Bruticus ain't even out yet.

I'd give it a few months or roughly around the time UW Bruticus comes out.

Let's hope Hasbro gives their release a dark brown or something, but knowing the minimal changes they did to Groove, I have my doubts.

Can we safely assume that places like BBTS and TFSource will get preorders for Groove right?

>>5572688
I don't see why not.

>>5572686
I know a few months ago they had thrilling 30 Sky bite for $10.

>>5572688

At some point probably, but BBTS is going to be marked up like crazy.

Found CW Shockwave while I was at WonderCon today and holy crap he might just be one of the best Transformers figures I have ever had in such a long time

>>5572661

Isn't Combiner Wars done at this point?

G2 Bruticus, Victorion, Computron, and Liokaiser are all gonna be box sets.

>>5572727

They need something to fill the release gap from now until Fall when they drop TW stuff.

So I'm guessing G2 sets, Vicky, Comp, Lio, and possibly Groove and Blastoff.

Is G2 Menasor shelfwarming right now or is it just G2 Superion?

>>5572727
>>5572756
The problem is that those boxsets don't fall into their normal releases. They still need a wave of Deluxes, Voyagers, Legends, and Leaders to hit.

Unless they plan to have the line "die" until TR hits shelves.

>>5572767

It only just came out. But don't worry, it'll shelfwarm hard as fuck if Superion is any indication. It's already around $80 on Amazon, I bet Menasor'll be $50 or less come fall.

>>5572769

Then they've either got something up their sleeve, or they're gonna maybe do those redeco's of Onslaught and Brawl with....??? I dunno.

Actually, could they redo Onslaught and Brawl, and then toss in BO and Groove to it?

1) i've not even seen the headsculpts from a 3'rd party company. got pics?

2) New Roddy looks bad? Basing that on pics, or do you have one? i've got one, and he's easily one of the BEST MP's they've done since the guy who did the carbots stopped designing. he is amazing.

Easily one of my faves.

but seriously. MP KUP soon. u Knoe?

>>5572792
xtransbots is doing one, I forget who is doing the other Kup but they both unveiled pics of the head at last year's Botcon rather unceremoniously, I think the Transbots figure is called Locke.

>>5572641
>>5572580
>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.

thats the thing, High Moon didnt make Dark Spark. They got fired because Deadpool didnt meet sale expectations, then Activision gave High Moons assets to some other studio to make Dark Spark

>>5572641
I've been wondering, can/do the other decepticons ride in Blastoff like they do Astrotrain? I only remember Astrotrain being the main way of transport.

>>5572772
That'd be great. I couldn't get into G2 Superion but the colors on the G2 Stunticons are crazy enough to buy if they get really cheap. I especially love Dragstrip and Wildrider.

So what's all this about a shittier running change version of Legends Shockwave? Where can I read on info about that?

>>5572814
Yes. Bruticus and the other Combaticons can ride in him.

>>5572814
There is the famous screen shot of when bruticus was getting in to blast off so yeah.

What will Wave 2 of the individual Titan Masters consist of? Hosehead and Fangry are a given, but who else could they add? Apeface and Snapdragon?

Every other Headmaster seems to be getting a full toy.

>>5572823
Hopefully Snapdragon is a future Galvatron retool, it wouldn't be a whole hell of a lot of work to do.

>>5572823
Except for the second string Headmasters who are head only. I'm very disappointed with that shit since those were some of my favorites.

I get why Takara is releasing the Head only dudes with some figures, but why include one with Shockwave? He doesn't have any compatibility with the heads unlike every other TR figure (the Cassettes have a peg that's apparently for the head only dudes to ride on them)

>>5572825
The second string guys were always preferable in my opinion, exception for maybe Skullcruncher who I guess is a first string dude. They were way crazier, Nightbeat has so much more character than Hardhead, and all the animal guys are fucking great they just ooze personality.

>>5572838
what if shockwave is getting retooled slightly like the legends guys that got the stupid RID sticker indent?

>>5572814

Usually specialized teams tend to stick together and be shown together, to the exclusion of others.

Or, in other words, yeah they probably do, but 99% of the time it'll just be the Combaticons being shown inside Blastoff and no one else.

>>5572818

No idea, only saw someone mention it a thread or two ago. Saw no proof photos though.

>>5572818
No idea, it was posted a few threads ago, so you should still be able to find it.

In any case, get one as soon as possible since the newer one's look really bad, as if the molds already on its last legs.

>>5572818
>>5572850
There was a link last thread to a Japanese forum that showed very clear pictures of the differences, go look. It was sad.

I can't wait for Blast Off to get a North American release so people can stop with the sour grapes act and suddenly start liking it.

>>5572965
A release in a different country won't make the figure better.

>>5572965
The only reason I PO'd UW Bruticus is for the sole reason to recast Blast Off's head and put it into Take Off. Eat shit.

>>5572995
Cast it and start selling them. I'll but one.

>>5572807

It's a shame there's not a third, final High Moon TF game. It would have been a solid trilogy.

Best Hot Rod figure to date by a mile, pretty much.

>>5573041

They've gotta reissue it at some point, right?

And hey, theres the TW Soundwave coming out too. Headmaster gimmick aside if you don't like that sort of thing, he probably will be pretty good. I mean, it's not like Soundwave has the most complex transformation or anything, he's literally a bunch of boxes that turns into one big square.

>>5573045

Eh not a fan of that design

>>5573050

Fair enough. Personally, all I've got is FoC SW, and I like him a lot, but I'm totally gonna be getting TW SW so I can keep one in robot mode and the other in vehicle or base mode, depending on what I feel like doing at any given moment.

Unless between now and then they reissue the MP, in which case I'd probably spring for that one.

>>5573041
>be slowpoke
>have to pay slowpoke tax

I see nothing wrong with this.

Don't tell me what I want and don't want. I know my rights, you bigot!

>>5573041
I was extremely lucky to get the Hasbro one complete with all cassettes for $70 shipped a few months ago from the BST. There's one tiny defect you won't notice unless you look for it.

It's my only mp and I love it. Might get a KO ratbat to join.

>>5573057

It's hard to be fast when you've got scalpers making under the table deals for entire shipments.

Do you guys ever wonder what will become of your collection when you're in your 70s, 80s, 90s, when you die? Will they be worth anything monetarily or emotionally to whoever inherits them? If they sell, will anyone still want Transformers for the sake of the toys and playing, or will it just be just for the bragging rights of owning toys from pre- or early 2000s? Museum pieces or landfill fodder?

I think about this sometimes.

This is freaking clever and impressive.

I'm surprised at how much I like Fracture. The RiD line has really been surprising me lately, they could use more interpretation but there are some really neat designs there.

>>5573132
It's definitely has way more gold than flops. Truly the only 2 bad ones so far are sideswipe and Steeljaw. Other than those it ranges from not bad to pretty awesome. The price point needs to be no more than $12 though. Especially since they are the same price as generations that at least right now all deluxes are quad changers and come with a comic book.

Yeah the book material is whatever, but they retail at $4 so you're pretty much getting a figure for $11.

>>5573090

No one will inherit it, it'll likely just be trashbagged and thrown out by whoever.

I'm just glad that Hasbro sees the potential in the RID15 cons. The Decepticon lineup during the start of the series was just...sad.

Just wish those stupid scannable stickers weren't a thing, they ruin the aesthetics so much. Not too hard to replace them if you have actual Decepticon stickers at least.

I'm a NEET Anon. Sorry, but it's true.

I probably would be discovered at some point a few weeks after I drop, likely by the management of where I live to find out why the rent hadn't been paid that month.

>>5573090
>monetarily
Worth jack shit, had the toys sit in the same cramped toy box for years that the paint on my optimus prime has scratched/rubbed off.
>emotionally
I have no kids but at this point since I've become a toy hoarder so chances are they'll be viewed as demonic and most likely incinerated.

Which is why my newer ones retain their boxes, gonna sell them when my funeral draws near so I can send myself off somewhat nicely

>>5573204
If I wasn't a solo worker drone this would be my fate too.

>>5573374
What are the chances that 3P companies will fill the demand?
Or they might as well complete the figures with heads, right?
If these titan masters fit the old G1 bodies, they could probably work as replacement heads.

It's like Hasbro chooses their lineups with a dart board. Look at their MCU Marvel Legends waves sometime. They may have lots of meetings in Rhode Island but there is zero planning.

MP Megatron is a given for a shit MP.

>>5573528
Each one is subjective to a degree, for example that very megatron's alt mode is still better than all the others, but everything else sucks.

Many have flip flopped views, sideswipe was viewed the same as hot rodimus now, ugly in photo form but in hand its beautiful.

And the mp01 vs mp10 debate, fucking hell you'd think it'd be clear but nope.

>>5573528

I'm honestly not a MP fan.

I prefer Generations as a whole.

>>5573537
Same. Toon accuracy isn't always a good thing.

But I do really want Lambor/Alert, Grimlock, and Star Saber since the latter two don't have proper Generations toys and the headsculpts for the Universe Sideswipe/Gen Red Alert look like trash and only Red Alert has a good replacement head.

Yeah, I been wanting him, he's definitely on the list.

Keep those suggestions comin', /toy/, you guys usually got good taste.

>>5573824
The Optimus/Nemesis Prime mold is a lot of fun. I have Nemesis Prime and I love him, though his targetmaster sucks. Megatron is great too, though the Hasbro colourscheme is definitely an acquired taste.

>>5573837

Yeah, the weird pink Megatron leaves something to be desired. I guess it's based off his original IDW appearance, where he was a miner? I actually want the Takara recolor but it's so fucking expensive it's not actually worth it.

Nemesis though, he's definitely alright, and not expensive at all so I'll add him to the list. I'd get the Optimus, but seeing that Iron Factory is coming out with a Legends-class God Ginrai, well, I'm holding out for that, since IF makes some great looking Legends.

>>5573456
It's not going to get better.

The current crop of TF comic writers are 100% Decepticon apologists who have full-tilt raped the entire canon to make the Decepticons morally right on just about EVERYTHING, even in the genesis of the war itself, while positioning the Autobots as the glorified SS/Gestapo

>>5573858
Jesus christ. Even as a massive Decepticon fanboy that's fucking retarded.

Personally I prefer the egalitarian approach to writing fiction; everyone is an idiot.

>>5573858

Theres nothing wrong with a rebellion starting from justified means that then spirals ridiculously out of control into full scale universal genocide.

It just means both sides are dicks. Which is true to an extent. Remember nowadays, far as comics are concerned, it's "realistic" that everyone involved in everything is an asshole. Just look at every Marvel crossover event.

I got this vibe from the IDW comics I've seen on /co/. Both sides are jackasses. Which is ok with me I guess.

I guess Unicron Trilogy and RID. Most Decepticons are Team Rocket level of evil.

>>5573902
Gay robots can be forgiven because the characters turned gay had ZERO personality to them. Being gay made Rewind and Chromedrome interesting and appealing.

Also, yaoi robots predate IDW: Siren/Nightbeat, Mindwipe/Scorponok, and Ratchet/Optimus were all but officially gay for each other in the Marvel comics

And Tranny Arcee is the anti-SJW gift that keeps on giving in terms of being red pill regarding how all trannies are mentally disturbed monsters who can't be trusted to do the right thing unless forced/shamed to

Obvious troll but:
- Sexuality and personality are not the same thing
- Gay robots can't be forgiven, because there's nothing to forgive

>>5574065
There are the Nonnef feet, but the combination of the tight pegs and the stiff ankles will literally break your figures.

>>5574091
Suddenly I'm recalling a few threads ago where some dude bitches that his figures broke from normal use and then admitted he had Nonnef feet in them.

>>5574108

There are problems with some of the pegholes tolerances being off with the CW/UW stuff though.

My CW Blades and Vortex, and UW Dragstrip have stress marks in their pegholes for the handfootguns.

>>5574108
...I am that dude. To be fair on me though, only Blades broke from the Nonnef feet. Groove and Alpha Bravo broke from the normal HFGs.

Were you able to fix it? Some plastic model glue could probably easily do it as long as you had the shards (if it made any shards) or just pressed it back together.

That shit literally melts plastic back together.

>>5574132
I did try that, but it just split again when I inserted anything into it. I even tried using heat to literally melt the plastic back together and it still split apart.

In the end I returned the set. They were bros about it though and refunded me no questions asked.

For what it's worth, I tried inserting the pegs on the Nonnef feet into a third party figure (FP Swindle) and an older, more solidly constructed Hasbro figure (can't remember which) and while the fit was tight, there weren't even stress marks.

What did he do?

>>5574334
You have to lift that bit upwards instead of just tilting it.

But yeah. My Blades' HFG port has stress marks like every other Blades out there. I shaved down the HFG peg but I'm still too nervous to put him in combined mode any time soon.

>>5574598
I wonder if they're only at risk for cracking their port if they're used in leg mode? Since it adds more weight and tension to the leg, foot, and the connection between the two?

>>5574597

whatever he did, I will admit he does a good job with customs.

>>5574603
I have Blades as an arm and I haven't noticed cracks or stress marks around the port. I haven't dared try to put him as a leg yet though.

>>5574603
I have Blades (and AB) as arms and Vortex as a foot and have stress marks on none of them.

V has been a foot for several weeks now as I'm lazy and haven't reverted Bruticus to his 'normal' form after wanting to see what Brawl's arm mode looks like (it looks hollow as fuck).

>>5574603
I think the stress comes a lot from when you have to rotate or tilt the HFG while it's in the socket. I feel like you're taking fewer risks by using it as an arm as long as you're not giving it a weapon to hold, but I could be wrong.

>>5574609
Personally I shaved the HFG peg quite a bit, and it STILL fits really securely in all the 5mm holes on him. I think the original dimensions are just too much for the thin plastic port.

>>5574430
I love Rook and his cousins Hound and Swindle. Best limb mold and retools in the entire CW series.

Still kind of want a second Rook so I can give a gestalt giant shoulder pads.

>>5574619

I still need a Hound, but I'm sort of holding off to see if Skylynx gets a UW set since they'll probably put him (and Wheeljack) in it and give Wheeljack better colors, plus hopefully fix Skylynx's problems.

>>5574657
Why does it seem that construction vehicle TFs only sell if they are Constructicons?

>>5574660
To be fair, Scoop wasn't all that great. His arms have articulation issues(shoulders make his arm articulation worse and, no wristh swivels when he actually needed them,) and (at least on mine) his vehicle mode barely held togheter.

>>5574675

I consider myself a Legends aficionado. They're basically all I collect, outside of MP figures. These are all of the molds I heartily approve of, from left to right, repaints mentioned:
>Optimus Prime/Nemesis Prime/Huffer/Pipes
>Powerglide/Viper
>Swerve/Gears
>Tailgate/Windcharger
>Cosmos
>Megatron/Warpath
>Shrapnel/Chopshop
>Blackjack/Rodimus
>Bombshell
>Shockwave
>Skywarp/Thundercracker/Starscream

I should mention that my Optimus, Megatron, Shrapnel, Swerve and Tailgate are the Takara versions. I'm one of the few that supports the Tailgate mold, and I think that might be because I adopted the Takara version, which has a far superior paint job. Megatron as well is leagues better than his Hasbro original.

>>5574809
Oh, yeah. Basically just:
>Bumblebee/Cliffjumper
Weak articulation in bot mode. Elbows and knees are gimped. Coupled with the lack of a neck joint, it makes him a weak poser. The alt. mode isn't cool enough to make up for these shortcomings. Although if you're going to get the Takara Prime/Bee 2-pack, the gold paint makes him pretty, at least.
>Groove/Wreck-Gar
Just plain "meh" all around. Unless you really want a motorcycle, then I suppose you'll appreciate it.

So ultimately I can't shit on any Legends mold, I just don't recommend them as much.

That and I went full retard and bought an alpha bravo from a comic book store for $40aud, never seen him ONCE in normal retail stores and importing him from burger country would go up to $50 or so, thus I feel justified.

Something to make Sky Reign more uniform. Currently have Blades, Fireflight, Mirage, and Smokescreen in mind as limbs, but not really feeling it with the latter two and I can't decide who isn't gelling more. I think it's more the fact they aren't good matches for each other more than matching Sky Reign's colors as Smokescreen is red and blue while Mirage is white and blue.

I could kick them both off and use Prowl and Streetwise, but that's so bland, and Sky Lynx would hate being bland.

>>5574938
Bruh. If you're willing to pay for 'em, a couple of the G2 Superion limbs are up for individual sale on Dorkside. I just got me G2 Skydive because the $20 they were asking was way more reasonable than what regular Skydive is selling for these days.

>>5574946
Air Raid looks nice and it's tempting, but since the G2 box set is close to dropping below 80 on Amazon I'm going to watch it and sees if it goes any lower before I try getting them separately.

You know those small Generations figures? The ones currently called Legends? That size of figure has had multiple different names in the past.

From the Energon line of 2004 to the Revenge of the Fallen line of 2009-2010, those small figures were called Scouts. (Pic related: the blue APC is Breacher, one of the best toys of the Scout class.)

2010 also had the Power Core Combiners line, and featured in it was a version of the Scout class that was called the Commander class. The yellow construction vehicle, Sledge, was one of these figures. The PCC Commanders are designed to combine with Mini-Cons and drone vehicles to become powered-up bots.

When the third Bay movie hit in 2011, the Scout class was completely replaced by the Commander class. Eschewing the combiner gimmick, these toys were made to interact with the even smaller Legion class. Together called the Cyberverse line, they were treated as separate entities from the larger mainline. Here to represent Cyberverse Commanders is Hardshell, from the Prime line of 2012.

And then Generations once more renamed the size class, releasing toys under the current Legends class. You should know Shockwave by now.

>>5575004
TL;DR: Scouts are Commanders are Generations Legends.

Although with the budget cuts that had to be made due to oil prices and toy sales, each new iteration of this size class has had slightly less plastic; this is the justification for the renaming (because otherwise people would complain about the Scout class having less plastic content).

Still, Hasbro continues to make fun toys at this size.

Breacher is such a goddamn great figure, I still remember exactly what happened the day I found mine. Mostly because I got a call telling me I was going to interview for a dream job while I was in the parking lot of TRU about to go in. Had been looking for that scout for months, then I went in after I nailed a prelim phone interview and found that motherfucker on the shelf, fucking score.

Why would Starscream make a reference to the title of a Netflix show? Why did they have to write a Ghostbusters reference in this page?

>>5575019
I'm not sure it's a reference to Orange is the new Black as much as that shit has always been a phrase (blank is the new black) and Scoop is Orange.

>>5575019
>>5575021
Also, Scoop's supposed to be green in that panel. They fixed it for later releases. (The terrible, TERRIBLE art doesn't help matters)

How good is Hardshell? The drug store near here has had one single poor Hardshell sitting on a peg for going on two years now.. but screw that, I can get him cheaper online.

>>5575026
The fact they used Ravioli for almost all of Combiner Wars really hurt what small entertainment the mini-series had.
and people are subjected to it with a good chunk of the limb bots due to the included comics.

>>5575035
What happened to good drug store finds? Now it's just trash and cyberverse stuff for like $12.

>>5575040
I think they just stopped caring and not even ordering them. Last good ones I found were Prime Wheeljack (I love this guy to bits) and Beast Hunters Arcee, and those were over 2+ years ago.

>not knowing that "Orange is the new Black" is a reference to an old saying

>>5575039
Entertainment?
That series is full of contribed shit!
I know this was done to sell hasbro's new toyline but the story could have been written better.
Remember how Defensor came to be?
Starscream saw the Protectobots and rook standing by and was all "hey! You are friends, right?" And exposed them to his magical mcguffin and boom! Defensor!

>>5574916
Wow, uh...this page is really not drawn too well at all. AT ALL. The perspective is FUCKED and the line quality is shit. Whoever colored it is carrying more than his fair share of the load.

>>5575044
That post made me laugh too.

You're right, I felt sad reading that

I demand a better written toy commercial.

This...could be a reflection to the company views, defensor got a takara mall release and not a regular retail release, that's saying something

>>5575009
The new legends are actually between the size of scout and the old legends class.
A fusion, if you will.

The old legends class have very simplistic transformation with very limited articulation. A little better than G1 bricks.

Scout classes are pretty much small deluxes. The best scout class lines are from the TFTM and ROTF line.

The new legends class toys are a bit smaller than scout class and a bit bigget than the old legends class, with better articulation and transformation.

>>5575050
Not sure if sarcastic, but yeah, better written toy commercial.

At least entertain the people with a story and not just shove new characters and call it a day.

The 80s animated movie toy commercial tried to insert a plot but killing off the old toys to shove in new toys was a shitty execution. Hasbro/IDW threw out the story and just shoved shit in everyone's faces.

This is also how they handled Victorion in that stupid combiner hunters one-shot they did. Oh look, a group of fembots in the dessert! Before we learn who they are, boom! Magical mcguffin! Arise, shitty fanservice gestalt!

>>5575050
The Protectobots have always been the least popular team of the main four, though. The most they've ever gotten before Combiner Wars was a bunch of afterthought redecos with their names attached (or not even, when it came to Streetwise).

Takara dedicated a whole new mold to them but the team only got an incredibly limited release.

Hasbro's release of the UW mold came with no fanfare.

Defensor is their least favorite child of the original Scramble City guys.

>>5575004


The Prime RID legends/commander class started the trend of smaller scout classes with good articulation.

They still had small simplistic legends classes like the abominus combiner

>>5575061
How about Computron?
Defensot at least is memorable in the sense that his theme is emergency vehicles.

Computron is just a bunch of random shit painted maroon and red.

>>5575066

Computron is the stepchild everyone ignores. This is why he got released as betatron.

>>5575069
Yet as regular retail in japan, how does this work?

New thread >>5575072

>>5575066
Compy and Defensor are similar in that they are both overshadowed by their Decepticon counterparts.

Also, both of those counterparts got combining homage figures before CW was a thing.

>>5575073
Perhaps Technobots are more popular in Japan because of Grimlock's New Brain.

>>5575073
Computron is takara's child from a previous marriage.
Hasbro does not consider him as his own so he just ignores him and does the bare minimum role as a father.

Hasbro and Takara's most favorite child is Bruticus.

>>5574790
>tfw the hinges that his arms are attached to cracked on mine
Why is the plastic on them so shitty? So far I've lost parts of Leadfoot, Searchlight and him. Not even hamhanding.

>>5575077
Because a combiner made out of monsters is better than a combiner made out of whatever.

>>5575026
Yeah in the comic that came with one of the CW limbs I got had him as green. So what did they do about the line before with starscream telling scoop that he thinks orange was never really his color?

>>5575080
I think you mean Devastator.

>>5575035
That line works now, so there's no reason to change it.

Man, he is my all time favorite smaller-than-deluxe Transformers toy. I have six Hasbro and a Takara one.
