So lets talk about Hasbro, and a lot of the odd decisions they've been doing. A lot of people are saying Hasbro is lazy for their Computron. but that isn't really true; even if you think their Computron looks worse(because it really does), they still had to put about as much time into production with those retools as takara did. "Lazy" would be just using Takara's remolds.

But why not,though? Why go through all the trouble of engineering a set of completely different remolds from Takara? Keep in mind those hasbro remolds, in all likelihood, HAD to be engineered by takara, unless Hasbro is starting to do things like that entirely in-house; which I doubt. So Takara basically worked on two sets of Technobot remolds. I can't fathom why they decided to go this route and make more work for both themselves.

Did anyone ask about this at the panel at all, or was it wasted on stupid bullshit questions like asking for more Animated toys?

Speaking as someone who doesn't care about G1 accuracy, I don't mind 3/5ths of Hasbro, and I think their car-guy is better than Takara's. Jet-guy is mediocre on both. The Hasbro drilltank is just awful, though. Takara wins by virtue of having a different head sculpt in robot mode, though.

Hasbro, actually.
I had no attachment to the Technobots prior to the set, but Strafe, Scattorshot, Afterburner and New Friend Scrounge look good, and i've been looking for a Streetwise mold for a while so Lightspeed doesn't bother me much. Hasbro Nosecone DOES suffer from the lack of a proper head, but this set otherwise is the one that makes me care about Computron.

The original release was accurate too, to the comic the design came from.
So the Legends coloration is actually LESS accurate and ends up looking really awkward due to the mix of green used.

I own the Maketoys one.

He comes off as really skinny in profile but from head on he looks fantastic. The individual bots are all fairly solid too and I'm in love with the altmodes of not-scattershot and not-afterburner.

not-lightspeed is probably the weakest of the set since his alt mode is just a car and his robot mode has some kibbly bits around the knees

my favorite Takaradrone thing was when some guy was importing all the Takara Legends figures (the ones that have the RiD app stickers) because "Takara always wins," got them, ripped off the stickers, and found out that they have circular molded indentations.

It was hilarious to watch him justify spending twice as much for an objectively worse toy that he already fucked up. I think he ended up filling the indent with clay and repainting it, lol

Nah. I can afford either, but I'm going Hasbro for the better deco, Scrounge, and the new feet parts. Shapeways will likely have a set of replacement heads for the three lacking limbs, so I'll be putting the money I save towards that. More expensive isn't always better, Asper-chan.

The funny thing about Generations/Legends Springer specifically is that you can find the Legends one on sites like Mandarake for about the same price as you can get the Generations one on Amazon. Assuming he's just not trying to stir shit, "Hasbro poorfag" doesn't even apply to this situation.

Right but the Headmaster cartoon is pretty bad even compared to the American g1. Masterforce and Victory are both better made.

>>5599183
>Is there any good Headmasters fiction?

1) Rebirth

Does IDW count? I think they have some decent characterizations for Chromedome and Brainstorm and Hardhead as well as Fortress Maximus.
>>
>>5599200

God, Rebirth is utterly terrible
>>
>>5599200
>decent characterizations for Chromedome and Brainstorm
They're both gay
>>
>>5599205
That is only one part of their characterization. Brainstorm is a mad scientist who likes making WMDs and other implausible scientific devices to show everyone how smart he is. Chromedome is a mindreader who has abused his talents for the war and wants a fresh start.
>>
>>5599203
Which goes to show that Headmasters is even worse compared to Rebirth.
>>
>>5599205
Is it really gay if their species doesn't have sexes or genitals. Even the fembots are just a different subgroup like beastformers or gestalts.
>>
>>5599205
That's basically an inevitability when you have so few feminine robots with a fanbase who wants more but bitches about actually getting more of them.

One of my favorite part is that the Timelines (TFCC exclusives) had a comic centered around them where Stylor was a targetmaster, so his synonymous presence with Chromedome meant he was an awkward third wheel in the relationship between him and Rewind.
>>
>>5599226
That situation was over after three hours.
>>
>>5599235
It was probably to make sure no one stole any of their stuff while talking the event runners anyway.
>>
>>5599235
Doesn't matter. It was shitty of them and shouldn't have happened in the first place.

3 hours is a lot of time at a con, that's a lot of sales that didn't happen because of shitty ass coordinators.
>>
>>5599235

>>
>>5599253
>It's no wonder this is the last botcon

Right even if you are a fanpub apologist. It's pretty clear Funpub couldn't satisfy either Hasbro and the fans. One wanted them touting the brand and product lines and cracking down on 3ps while holding back on information while the other side wanted more freedom and better exclusives and more information from Hasbro. Either way they couldn't satisfy everyone. And their own selfservinng and cold grasping for a few dollars and cents probably didn't help.

The cartoon shat all over the Nebulons/Headmaster concept.

Read the Marvel Headmasters comic (#1-4) and Marvel TF #37-42, 46-51, 54-59, 62, 66, 69-75, and 79.

Marvel Nebulons are the best Nebulons in that there is no Hive bullshit, the Nebulons look just like humans and not a bunch of green skinned geriatrics, and Comic Book Zarak is basically an alien version of US politician John McCain, American Bad-Ass.....
>>
>>5599279
At least they're unique molds with great engineering and design, not to mention multiple options per character.

Unlike FP where you get a bunch of recolored molds that were already released. Since they're based on HasTak designs you know they're already shit too, so at least that's consistent. And don't count on having other options if a character is shit.
>>
>>5599278

They were handing out fliers for an entirely different 'con at a different hotel where they could sell 3P stuff.
>>
>>5599302

They did that with the set that completed the G1 seekers. And people complained that they were being forced to spend exclusive prices to get essential characters.

and then Hasbro put them all out at retail anyway.

And even then they still made shit like fucking Headmaster Scorponok and an unreleased Pretender.

so tell me, anon, what's "fan favorite" enough to be good enough to be sold to you as an exclusive, but not something that should be sold at retail? If they can't make toys of obscure characters, and it'd be screwing people over to make "important" characters exclusive, who SHOULD they be making toys of?

and if your pie in the sky dream of all new molds being released at a convention happened, I guarantee you people would riot over the fact that they had to pay 100 dollars for them instead of 10. That price isn't gonna drop, either, because it costs more recoup costs on individual members of a smaller production run than a mass retail one.
>>
Do they have any good TF figure to scale for the Fort Max? I mean little people that could go into small vehicles.
>>
>>5599296
Realistically I think Hasbro knows they can no better go after 3rd party stuff than they can bootlegs. From a manufacturing standpoint they both have the same headache; they can't exactly track down and have the companies/factories make these things shut down that easily. They'd have to have cooperation with the chinese government to do so and even if they managed to shut down one, another would pop up overnight. A waste of legal fees.

The only avenue they really have to combatting 3rd parties is buy closing off retailers from selling them; usually by refusing to do business with them unless they stop selling 3rd parties. Hasbro did this to get KOs out of Big Lots; giving them cheap alternative toys in exchange.

I thin another thing is that we forget that Hasbro's design team is a whole other level from the big business guys atHasbro. The design team is most consciously aware of the 3rd parties, and they try now to combat them by offering alternatives in the mainline. If the bigger business guys at hasbro are aware of it, I think they just see it as a nuisance that doesn't make enough to consider a threat, and since they probably don't collect with toys themselves, they probably just think they're just like bootlegs. Now, if those CEOs, presidents, managers, etc. ever consider 3rd parties to be a significant threat, then I'd see the hammer being brought down; likely by refusing to do business with places like BBTS, TFsource; in otherwords making it impossible to buy 3rd party stuff online outside of sites that don't sell Hasbro or takara toys at all.
>>
>>5599316

They shouldn't bother with con exclusive figures at all. They're usually raw shit and overpriced as fuck.
>>
>>5599316
Just another facet of what is wrong in the TF community. We want new and unique molds but don't want to shell out for the actual production costs so we get recolors and different heads and complain because it's not varied enough.

Probably not. Botcon may change in name and style(because FP bought the actual name), but there'll probably still be conventions, and the fanclub service will likely continue. Hasbro has months to reorganize.
>>
>>5599323

here's the thing

Hasbro actually has no PROBLEM with the third party stuff

The whole "we don't want third party stuff at the convention" thing? It's to maintain plausible deniability. Because if this is snaking around underneath their nose and they acknowledge it, it opens all sorts of nasty legal precedents from the competition they actually fucking care about.

They're trying to disassociate from it to protect themselves AND so the third parties don't end up shooting themselves in the foot. However, TFSource and its fans continuing to wave their asses in their face about everything kind of undermines that, so they're not only showing Hasbro disrespect, they're undermining the thing they're supposed to be fucking supporting. For fans, it's about dickwaving, for TF Source, it's about promoting themselves for the most buck they can make in the moment.

TF Source, for the record, is just as bad as FunPub is, but that's another story.

>>5599323
An interesting thought but realistically you can't stop 3P by having Hasbro refuse to sell to online retailers if they don't stop for the simple fact that many online retailers that are used for those types of figures are actually based in China.

What's more, I believe that a gentleman actually owns a few 3P companies as well as a number of factories, effectively allowing him to bypass many hurtles that would cause other businesses trouble.

To combat it, Hasbro would have had to act many years ago. The ship has sailed at this point.
>>
>>5599325
You're moving goal posts everywhere. There's nothing wrong with con-exclusives as an idea. Pretty much every major con does them.

I do think that FP over saturated the market horribly on them, though. The first year few years of them running the con all had decent boxsets. There were some mediocre things but in general, the sets filled holes in collections and it was exciting to get so many toys. the problem is that FP constantly tried to outdo itself with quantity over quality. The prior BC organizers did 2-4 figures a year, most years only 2. But those toys were mostly based on desirable molds, or had great paint apps. Instead of trimming the fat and doing figures that people actually wanted, FP stuck with lofty ideas no one knew what to do with.

So I hop the next con organizers go back to basics. Japanese conventions get Masterpiece redecoes as con exclusives, why can't we? An MP redeco with a new head would be really cool as a con exclusive.
>>
>>5599325

I'm sure once they went that route, everyone in the fandom would react with the calm, reasoned demeanor to which they are accustomed.

and by that I mean, they would fucking riot.

there's been like maybe a handfill. Others have been stuff like RID Scourge/Black Convoy, Armada Megatron, ROTF Mindwipe and Skystalker into G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen, etc.
>>
>>5599364
See, most of those where fantastic and well thought out, though. THAT'S what we need at a con. Not forced themes.
>>
>>5599356
I'd also like more original characters every now and then. One of my most-wanted Botcon figures ever is Antagony, who was completely made up along with the rest of the Botcon BW characters for the convention.
>>
>>5599364

oh, and none of Takara's convention exclusive MPs have had new tooling, by my recollection. That'd be extremely expensive to do for an MP in such small numbers.
>>
>>5599369

dude, I'm pretty sure that if FP did G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen instead of Takara, they'd be called lazy for it. They're just redecoes.

Hell, FP did their own god damn version of Scourge. Every other Takara convention exclusive is a black repaint, typically.

3H kept it balanced, though. We got Cyclonous, but we also got CatScan and two minibots. We got the G1 lambo twins, but we also got Roulette and shadow striker. Plus at the time, we had no idea we'd ever see a G1 revival, so those characters where in demand. FunPub tried to keep doing that even though Classics became a thing. If you do interesting redecoes and characters, people will come to them. Landshark didn't sell, but nothing that year did well anyway..

Hardhead (both Takara, and Hasbro), Skullcruncher (Takara), Brainstorm whenever he comes out, and all of deluxe wave 2.

Voyager:
Galvatron, Astrotrain (Takara)

Leader:
Blaster (has to be on clearance, at least 10-15 dollars less)

Titan:

Nothing, FM shares too much with Metro and something looks off about the design.

dude, they're so this line can appeal to kids. Generations has always walked the fine line between being appealing to collectors and younger people.

Honestly, it's frustrating how myopic and self centered the TF fandom can be. Hell, we got a decent deluxe sized Nightbeat not too long ago

For who? Unless you think they'll engineer a new combiner torso made out of 2 bots. They'll be using the Superion molds for the jets, Brawl for 1 leg, and Nosecone for the other.

Probably will be skipped in lieu of just guns.

This might happen, in lieu of giving him a gun.

Handfootgun molded to look like it probably.

Probably won't happen. A multisection staff is probably too much.

Just cut out a piece of styrene cement it where this guy puts that metal piece.

You somehow have the inability to fix something so simple and what do you do? Make up so much shit without any proof and go on tangents and strawmanning like crazy. All because YOU can't do something very simple. Nothing more than an entitled child screaming because you can't get your way.

>nothing more than an entitled child screaming because you can't get your way.

to be fair that is like 75% of the fandom even with the classy bits of racism.

>>5599656
TFW no Legends Soundwave.
>>
>>5599653
I don't either. It made sense with the Dinobots because they had pointy peices with lots of undercuts, but Blitzwing had no such thing.

It was probably because they had to have soft plastic for the nosecone, and just added more stuff to that sprue, They ended up destroying the toy though
>>
>>5599657
>outside of the biggest flaw that destroys it it's not got many problems

L O L!!!!
>>
>>5599675
>destroys it
It's easily fixed. If it was "destroyed" then it wouldn't be fixable. Keep trying though.

>WAAAAHHH WAAAAAHHH WAAAAHHHH why don't you like this shit toy?!
>You have a responsibility to LOVE EVERYTHING BY BASED HASBRO!

kek, called it. eat shit kikelord
>>
>if you just do all these repairs to the toy its fine!

This is the stupidest argument and I see it pop up time and time again from the retards around here. If it needs to be fixed then it wasn't good in the first place.
>>
>>5599680
Haha okay gotcha. You're a person of feeble mind.
>>
>>5599685
I doubt the mold is inherently bad and it'd be just fine if they had gone with hard plastic on the shoulders.
Doesn't excuse what they did, though. It's a shit toy because of it.
>>
>>5599687
>You're a obvious troll
fixed

>>5599691
Yeah, fresh from the package it's pretty shit. Although if you just want it to shit on a shelf it'd be find.

All we're telling that other guy is that it's not much effort to fix it. And since that's the "biggest flaw" that "destroys it". It's pretty easy to undestroy it. He's just being a dick for reactions.

>>5599654
Shoot me an email after prices are solid. Don't want to gyp you in case it's more expensive than you think.

>>5599657
Just so anyone who has done this knows, clays will leak out plasticizers when left in contact with plastic for a couple weeks, leaving a permanent residue on the toy that won't come off.

Also note that if you do the destructive option of sanding, you have to be extra careful because there's a sweet spot for the removal of material that is fractions of a millimeter in size. If you remove too much the toy won't be able to transform anymore, and that sweet spot differs from toy to toy. If you're only sanding the ends of the screw pegs and screw up you can build up material again with super glue, but some of them require you to sand the edges of the torso which is irreparable. Worse, some of them can't actually be fixed solely by sanding because the amount of material that has to be removed for the shoulders to peg in is so great that it will impede the toy's transformation.

You're better off with carefully cutting pieces of styrene to fit snugly inside that gap in the shoulder and not using any kind of adhesive, then sanding if you absolutely have to.

I don't blame people for not fucking with it, honestly. I've fixed a couple for other people, but if I only had one I would be afraid to mess with it too. I know I screwed my first one up.

Honestly this was something that should never have made it off the factory floor.
>>
>>5599698
Why not just recast it in Epoxy for a permanent fix?
>>
>>5599699
This will also work.
>>
>>5599643
Wow seriously, if I didn't have to UNfix my Blitzwing to demonstrate how to fix it I'd make a video and spam it every thread just to shut up these debates. It is fixable and easy, in fact I'm blown away that the super glue used to hold the pieces in place has held for all these years.
>>
>>5599697
He is probably trying to gyp you, $10 for a modern deluxe from a special set doesn't even talk about any other details or what abouts? Check around on forums, don't give that guy your attention.

If Hasbro was smart they would release those new Computron feet/hands in all the various colors because they are great and a perfect size.

The turd hands are too gangly and the feet are huge clown shoes and suffer from needing to do pointless things like turn into guns.

>suffer from needing to do pointless things like turn into guns.
The guns don't even look good either.

Any guesses as to who's head this is on Weirdwolfs card?
>>
>>5599727
Even as a HTS exclusive or something.

But that would be smart, and this IS Hasbro we're talking about.

You're on the wrong side of history, friendo.

The head reminds me of rocky's scanning mode helmet in the power rangers movie and I love it.

I for one welcome our new gay robot overlords
>>
>>5599727
Not only that, i'm surprised they haven't done a blindbag series of random 5mm peg weapons from across the franchise. instead we have tiny titans.
>>
>>5599479
It's pretty bad. It's got those awful little ratchets that end up one off where they click but flop between two spots.
>>
>>5599729
Another gay homofuck character from IDW?

Cause kids won't care.

They won't care. That's how Hasbro is looking at it.

I hope we get an official Legends Soundwave at some point in the next few years. The 3P option looks cool, but isn't Soundwavey enough for my tastes.

Yeah, but teh gay ruins the rest of it.

Damn progressive agenda
>>
>>5599260

So who were Skytread and Clobber originally named? Im presuming theyre G1 characters with names that couldnt be copyrighted
>>
>>5599260

So Sentinel Prime is being released both retail AND SDCC sets?
>>
>>5599285

I prefer the head robots are the REAL entity and their vehicles become exosuits premise over the heads being separate organic beings premise
>>
>>5599309
>They were handing out flyers for a meet up at another hotel

And...? Anyone who could pick up flyers presumably paid admission to get in. So Hasbro already made their money with them. It's not like Hasbro has other conventions at the same time of these other cons. So it's not like these other conventions would be taking money AWAY from them
>>
>>5599473

I like that they come with little vehicles. It harkens back to the Micromaster Transports and tiny vehicles that came with larger Micromaster playsets
>>
>>5599523
>I just don't understand this mental retardation.

What I don't understand is why you have to be such a cunt about it.
>>
>>5599536
>>5599539

Who cares? It's just packaging. Just throw it in the trash and enjoy the toy
>>
>>5599439
That's a shame. Designwise, if they cut down on the greeble a bit, i'm in love with them enough to call them definitive versions, but i guess they have lots of spots to improve on

I'm on the right side of morality, though.
