BEWARE WHEN BUYING SHOCKWAVE

>>5575183
Beware what? I don't speak ook.

China guy's comparing a cheap Shockwave he got from TaoBao with one imported from HongKong.

Rest of the thread is discussing whether it's a KO, local China release or something the contracted factory sneaked out "on-the-side" because the packaging and details are similar.

>>5575183
this was discussed in the earlier threads that this might be a running change within the factory and not a KO

>>5575183
m-maybe its takara's shockwave?

Regardless it doesn't look too bad, but I don't buy shit from china unless its a cheap watch.

>>5575209

which one is the correct one?

>>5575183
I don't get it. What are the differences?

>>5575232
Those circled in green are the earlier ones released in HK and the rest of the world. The one circled in red are from TaoBao.

>>5575211
Yeah that makes sense. Maybe it's a rush order to fill the market.

>>5575235
The TaoBao piece has a lot of mold flash, blurry details and just poorer tolerances all round. Purple paint is also thinner.

>>5575242

oh ok thanks.

I didn't realize their was a colour difference until now.

>>5575209
Do TaoBao pieces usually make it to mass market?

What shade of white is CW wheeljack? I painted his arms, groin, and chest windshield and need to touch up some splotches. Regular white would stick out too much.

>>5575257
creme/off white/racing white.

Might as well paint the whole thing, the plastic will always make any shades of white stand out from it.

I really wish cw used flatter plastic colors, its hard to make paints blend in.

>>5575257
Bone.

When I bought mine I was up at 4AM, and pre-ordered as soon as it went up. They were out of stock within minutes. Anybody who wasn't awake at 4 AM was out of luck. That is fucking crazy, and there's no reason for that.

But then again I'm not a bitter autistic faggot looking to scalp, so I don't see any reason for artificial scarcity.

I sincerely hope you get full-blown AIDs and die slowly. The world will be better off without you.

>>5575259
Lucky they're just for small patches so they won't stand out horribly. I wish he was just normal white though. I had him displayed with other recent wheeljacks and his color is a little obvious.

>>5575259

He tell me through the grapevine that Hasbro deliberately doesn't use extremely clean looking, true whites on their toys because they think it looks less boring when they use off-white.

>>5575256
>>5575211
Maybe they're factory rejects and/or stolen copies?

>>5575280
Its not just whites though, looking at cw hound, clearly metallic injected, giving it a nifty but plastic-y effect.

Meanwhile looking at my UW superion all of the bots have colors that can easily be replicated in paint without conflicting with the "plastic" base surface.

With a UW you can paint match, with cw its accent detailing or it must be smothered with paint.

>>5575183
Hm. I wonder which version I own.

>>5575242
>has a lot of mold flash, blurry details and just poorer tolerances all round

So how is this different from hasbro again?

>>5575209

Should I buy Animated Prowl and/or Oil Slick?

Yes. You should buy Animated Prowl and Oil Slick.

Both are decent for the time they came out, but Oil Slick is just a little bit better.

>>5575316
Maybe save the $ for Samurai Prowl.

>>5575160

Colors look good, but fuck that head.

>>5575319
Really? Yeah visually oil slick is better if you like the badass thing, but prowl as a figure is way better.

>>5575322
I was thinking of buying both to kitbash together to make something like Peaugh's "Ultimate" Animated Prowl.

This may be heresy, but what do you guys consider to be the best non-transforming Transformers figures? I find myself having to settle for lack of screen/page accuracy more often than I'd like, and altmodes don't really make up for that to me.

>>5575493
Lol.
Drift is really a weeaboo.

>>5575513

I can only call raging so hard at the existence of female Transformers since early G1, to the point you try to retcon the very idea of them even existing by turning one of the most well known female 'bots into a tranny just so you, personally, do not have to write female 'bots as a coping mechanism, to be pure, undiluted autism.

>>5575517

Probably the revoltech ones from a few years back. Revo makes some great stuff.

>>5575521
More of misogyny than autism.
It really is precious that some guy could think of alien robot gods creating a whole planet of alien robots but calls bullshit when it comes to robot women.

>>5575521
>Revos
Yeah, I planned to pick them up, but I was hoping to (excuse the memery) find something more along the lines of RDs, at least in terms of scale.
Figures like

>>5575529

Wouldn't misogyny be purposefully writing women as shittily as possible, not retconning women as a whole from an entire species and then, after being forced to write a woman, turning it into a man?

I'm still leaning more towards severe autism than misogyny.

>>5575529
The same could be stated for assuming that they would have male and female division simply because humans have it. Alien lifeform is not bound by just what occurs on Earth, only the mechanics of the universe.

>>5575534
It's still muhsoggyknees to actively exclude females from existing, though it's also really fucking weird on just a regular writing level.

I like the hero mashers once they went on discount. They're kind of neat to play around with. Some of good proportions too like Soundwave.

on the other end of the spectrum, you have faggots like Walky who make a big deal about how femmebots are designed because they are usually thin and dainty unlike his landwhale wife

>>5575545

I never got them because the combined mode looks like one of those kitbashed fanmade ones since the arms look like they are just the beast modes clinging on to dear life instead of being actual arms.

I should have just ignored it and got them for their individual modes. Wal-mart had them on clearance for 4 bucks apiece last year and I stupidly never got around to getting them.

>>5576406
Nobody ever said Scrounge was a belt, it always said shield.

>>5576438
You know. I really liked everything about thunderhoofs design and in my head he was a bruiser but a bit demonic I recently decided to see what he's like on the show and boy was him being a generic d-list spiderman villain ever a let down

>>5576466
Isn't that the majority of the Decepticons on that show though since most of them were just Villain of the Week types?

>>5576477
I've never seen that show. Up until I watched a clip of his first appearance last week I had never even seen a commercial. All the figures I own from it, except bumblebee, are displayed in a pose their design makes me think their personality should be.

>>5576466
The Italian Mobster stereotype works so well for me, honestly. Thunderhoof is great.

>>5576479
You have to remember that RID happens during peacetime cybertron. The deceptions are mostly just random criminals, street level thugs.

>>5576496
I honestly don't know anything about the plot. I see it's on Netflix now though so I may try. Isn't Megatronus like a big bad end all be all type though?

>>5576499
Yeah, basically Megatronus and Optimus are there to conclude the season. One thing I'll say about RID15 is that the plot is self contained, unlike Animated or TFP where many plot threads were left unresolved because they didn't know when they're getting cancelled

>>5576508
They're probably worried they'll get cancelled at any moment so they don't fuck around. Dont blame them.

>>5576508
I haven't fully rewatched TFA in a while. What plot threads did they leave unresolved by Endgame?

>>5576517
The beast wars characters for sure is one. I believe the Seekers were still around. Ultra Magnus. Blurr. Possibly the constructicons getting to Devastator. That's just what I remember even though I haven't seen the show since it aired even though I own all 3 seasons.

>>5576553
His spark was still active.

>>5576517
Blurr was still a cube (fixed in other media), Ultra Magnus condition (he was suppose to die), some of the seekers weren't captured (Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Slipstream), all the TF left back on Earth and all the plots that would have involved them, Sari's origin (not very well explained, which I'm sure they would have gone into detail on another season), the fate of Rodimus Team, and probably something else I'm forgetting.

>>5576559
Beast Wars.

>>5576559
That's not bad. First two items could be written off as dead, and there was enough information about Sari's origin to piece things together. The other things could have used an episode or two to sort out, but still pretty good for a show that didn't know it was gonna get cut at the third season.

Nothing like the aborted story arcs and shoehorned toy ads of Prime, anyway.

Blurr wasn't dead though. That's why it's a loose end. They teased him being alive for a reason.

>>5576567
Did they tease that in the show? Honest question, I don't remember.

>>5576569
Iirc he's laying in the garbage pile and then His spark lights up.

Man, can you imagine how they would have picked up on that? If not a whole subline, there could have been a few new Beast toys in the Animated style.

>>5576576
$20 BA would've used those animals or based bots on the animals (like what megs did for the dinobots) and would've had a small group that some would turn good and others wouldn't.

>>5576581
They could also possibly have a situation where the robotic Maximals would have their organic layer stripped off (like with the Animated Dinobots), and have designs that homage the Transmetals.

I recently got a bunch of TFTM/RotF toys from my local comic shop and I've been slowly going through playing with them and figuring out how to transform them. I just got to Sidearm Sideswipe and for some reason his head is really loose on the ball joint, to the point that it's pretty much just sitting on top of it, so when I got to the part that the automorph springs his head into place (I got him in vehicle mode), it just went flying across the room...

>>5576638
Damn. You should go ahead and tighten those loose joints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R28igxg_FCY

Going through and playing with them one by one sounds like a lot of fun though. You should post pictures of what you got.

>>5576556
It was intended to be, but in the show it could be either way, I'd say he's dead since he never showed up again.

>>5575680
He doesn't rein it in because this over the top stuff is what a large portion of the (vocal) MTMTE fanbase wants. In fact, it's all they really want. Feels, romance, death fake outs and Earth culture are actually the highlights for a lot of fans of MTMTE. Which honestly, is fine, to each their own. I'm only a little sad because Roberts is a good writer at other stuff too, and he's let that section of the comic take too much space. If he wasn't good at anything else, I'd be more accepting, but I think he's a better writer of mysteries, war drama, etc than he is of pop culture references. Maybe Dying of the Light will adjust it back, who knows.

Same. Also it makes Shockwave seem way cooler if blurr did die

>>5576787
Not gonna lie, I'm torn here. The redone head and chest are wonderful and using Rook again is never bad since it's a great mold, but the Breakdown mold is terrible. Where the Hasbro one comes with an extra figure and isn't using the handfoot guns again.

>>5576675
>I'd say he's dead since he never showed up again.
That's cause the show got canned early...

Do you guys think we'll get a new Rodimus Prime MP some day? MP-28 is a nice replacement for MP-9 HR mode but I still need a RP I can transform without breaking something.

a lot of the Cons were locked up in the great war though.

>>5576508

Nah Prime ended on its own terms, the lack of resolution was due to poor writing and numerous re-writes and plans being changed. Airachnid was suppose to be in the Predacons Rising movie but was replaced with Predacons.

>>5576695
>I'm only a little sad because Roberts is a good writer at other stuff too, and he's let that section of the comic take too much space

I think that's exactly the problem with MTMTE as of late, though with that said the recent twist with issue 50 might just be what the series needed.

>>5576675

One of the BotCon Script Readings, the one last year with John Moschitta Jr and Susan Blu reprising their roles as Blurr and Arcee have it where Blurr comes back to life.

I don't know if it's technically non-canon or not though, probably done that because the show will most likely not come back.

It's worth watching, it's on youtube somewhere...if only because Susan Blu voiced Kreezeek and holy crap it's hilarious.

Calm your autism. There isn't a single paint app on him, it looks like. It's probably a proto.

>>5577475
I'm looking at the info myself on the tfwiki page (the episode was Transwarped if you need to know) Alot of that post cartoon fiction seems a bit fanservicey in way alot of the convention stuff is (is bee in the city canon?) but something to note is that wyatt pointed out how transformers in the show turn grey in the show when they die, so there's that, but he when then apparentely dumped into a incinerator (if the wikis info is correct) so I think the still alive stuff is a reactionary retcon. I'd love the show wasn't canned though, I wonder what figures we could have got.

Always disliked Computron's color scheme, it's so bland.

>>5577836
The way they displayed the B/W image implies they might try to replicate a scene from Grimlock's New Brain, by having chest panels look like they're lighting up.

>>5577841

At best that'll add some white to the chestplate. Which will be good, don't get me wrong, but Computron in cartoon deco is just this big red guy.

Honestly, the best possible result we could've gotten would've been Compy in original toy colors with Takara remolds.

Well, you could just buy both, keep the one's you like, swap Scattershot parts between both releases for the best colors, and sell the Computron with all the things you don't want.

Yeah, you'll lose a bit of money in the process, but you'll end up with the best version.

In my area, Prime disappeared off the shelves after the Wheeljack wave. I saw Megatron and Prime a couple of times.

RiD's distribution is pretty bad too. All they have at most stores inthe Cyberverse class.

>>5577922
Oh so your store was shit. Many people saw many of the waves. Your statement is the first I've ever even heard of prime having bad distribution. The only ones I remember having trouble was way later in the series.

>>5577900
Hasbro's is literally red Superion. They didn't change ANY of the parts that are actually visible in combined mode. Takara's has a new head, new chest, and a new crotch (probably to give Scattershot a more accurate chest in his own robot mode)

>>5577934
Things that don't change how the toy operates and works. Just cosmetic.

>>5577940
So are colors. Yet Hasbro fanboys keep using this as an excuse.

I'd rather have mold changes than virtually the same toy in a different color.

>>5577924
The tri-county area, not just a single store. I used to complain back in the 90s and early 00s but Jesus Christ it's a hundred times worse now. Fortunately the show bored the hell out of me so I don't feel like I missed much.

Something's bothering me about the Takara Computron changes. I know Hasbro has their budged, and their mold limits, and whatnot, but what was stopping them from using Takara's Scattershot?

Seriously couldn't they just ask Takara if they were using new parts, and just use them in their release?

>>5577969
that's a valid question, and it honestly goes both ways

Why couldn't Takara ask Hasbro for the new feet and hands??

maybe this was all a plan

Yeah, I know about future shine, it just surprised me the first time I transformed him because his head shot off like a missile... Thanks for the advice though.

It has been pretty fun, definitely something to look forward to coming home to when I was working 14 hour shifts while coughing up copious amounts of lung butter.

Here's a boringly posed, badly lit group shot of the guys I've played with. Still have RotF Leader Jetfire and Optimus to tackle.

Ironhide, Blackout, Sideswipe, and Wreckage are all pretty decent, Hailstorm has some utterly shit poseability but he's such an ugly mother fucker I love him, Brawl has a cool tank mode but his robot is garbage, and Jazz looks like an old man who has his slacks pulled up to his saggy old man tits.

What BS/evasive/vague answer do you expect from the Botcon Panel?

>Bad timing
>Price structure
>Drop test

I'm making a huge assumption here, but I want to believe Hasbro intended Scattershot to look like the Takara version, but couldn't since they probably used up all their figure/retool slots, and ended up only making a few alterations (the Scattershot head, and vehicle mode parts). Hasbro probably went ahead and decided to make their Computron like that, while Takara made use of the original design. Since Hasbro was already in too deep, they couldn't use the new parts in their Computron.

I wonder why they don't just collaborate and make better stuff together. A lot of this stuff seems needlessly wasteful to do rather than make one definitive version of each toy.

Just cram a raspberri pi in it.

So basically once we get official promo shots, he'll be up in more stores? Cool. I do hope the sales are amazing and they make a MP BW Megatron (but who am I kidding, I want everyone as super accurate bot-mode MPs).

hailstorm's the kind of bot that doesn't really pose so much as point at what he wants to kill and kill the shit out of it. I forgive his shitty posing because he's a pretty neat design and can do pretty much everything he really needs to be able to do.

brawl... for one thing brawl desperately needs his heels built up with some pla-plate or bits of old creditcard or something. for another... I hope whoever thought using a ^ shaped bar for his hips was okay got fired, because holy fuck that makes his legs a pain to work with. it's a shame they fucked up so bad because his design is not so bad... but like a lot of movie figs, clearances and tolerances weren't really well thought out.

hasbro, like so many US companies and US branches of companies, has a boner for doing their own thing and likes to get petulant when people they're in business with do their own thing. see: animated breakdown being made entirely by takara, and hasbro subsequently going "no fuck you we're not gonna sell it"
