Guess he could also be retooled as TR Grimlock

Considering that Apeface is getting released in Titan Masters wave 2, Snapdragon may only get a head release as well. I'm not a big Horrorcon fan, but it does seem to be a shame that there won't be a proper figure for the two of them for now.

Hasbro seems to acknowledge that people want new versions of them though, so they gave Apeface a TM vehicle that is pretty much a mini Apeface.

can anyone with skylynx try and figure out a humanoid mode for it?

>>5600733
Good luck on that. Even based Takara won't come through for us.

Dude, just accept that it's just sky lynx with a new combiner head.

Funny that you mention that, actually!

>>5600755
>takara release with a new 2 robot torso
later retooled for Gaia Guardian?

Now that I think about it, since they're making both the headmasters and Overlord, does that means well see (from Takara) new Headmasters Junior toys and maybe a little more proper God Ginrai (with the addon armor)?

>>5600755
Is it confirmed that Takara will do Leokaiser?

>>5600738
It's ridiculous especially when you consider that all the Voyagers are triplechangers and we (currentely) aren't getting a good representation of one of two of the original triplechanging headmasters. Sick of it.

>>5600766
Why did you sparse overlord from the headmasters?

>>5600768
>Is it confirmed that Takara will do Leokaiser?

No but they have done every combiner we have gotten in CW. And Liokaiser is one of the more well known Combiners in the Japanese fandom purely on the fact that he beat the shit out of his Star Saber in his first outing. It would be like Hasbro not doing Bruticus for CW.

>that TFSource Tracks sale
>only get money in on the 13th, when it'll be twice as expensive
You know, I'd like to ask someone here to just buy it now, and send it to me, and in return I give them 10 bucks more than it and the shipping after I'm paid. They get a little money, I save on what I would have bought, and I'm not totally left out of this sale.

BUUUT... just typing it and I think 'well I wouldn't agree to that, there's no way to hold the guy to his word about the money'. And I don't want to be seen as a scammer. So nevermind I guess.

>>5600768
>Is it confirmed that Takara will do Leokaiser?
Not yet but look how much effort they put into fucking Computron of all things, they're pretty much guaranteed to release a retooled version of their own original character.
They'll get a lot more nostalgiabux from Japs than Hasbro will with their Leokaiser

>>5600766
The transmission podcasts rumors say they are going to do God Ginrai somehow. As for the Headmaste Jrs and other non-Ginrai/Overlord Godmasters that is doubtful.

>>5600771
Because Overlord is the villain in Super-God Masterforce, where the Headmasters Juniors and God Ginrai appear

>>5600762
wrong torso pieces tho.
unless its a huge retool to turn a buggy into a dual drilltank

>>5600745
anyone notice that weapon thing in the left hand? waht is it?

>>5600778
>unless its a huge retool to turn a buggy into a dual drilltank
they turned a six-wheeler APC into a drilltank and a jeep, I can afford the thought

>>5600774
THIS.

if they could do 3 retools for computron, they could do 2 for leokaizer

>>5600777
Well, yeah, I thought you were seperating by gimmick but I reckon this new Overlord is a headmaster.

>>5600779

well maybe a retool of nosecone would work.
but it would have to interacti with the theoretical mold of thier leozack

I enjoyed this year's display. I wish they'd do more shit like it.

>>5600785
They can just repaint Nosecone and put a new head there for Drillhorn. There is like three ways to pull off the main torso.
1) Redo silverbolt as Leozack and put Jarugar there as a minicon or minicon targetmaster
i. Or redo Jarugar as an extra Combiner limb
2) Brand new molds for Jarugar and Leozack so he is a six piece combiner like Devastator, but with limb swapping.

>>5600755
>>5600768

they will, they have to.

>>5600794
Are there more pictures of that display? I agree it's looks amazing.

>>5600844
>tfw i can never own any GGG toy

>>5600844
Isn't it mostly because most high-end robot toys are trying to emulate 80s animation models? Which isn't to say that it's bad, but it's certainly the main factor for the smoothness.

>>5600794

It felt like a real battle.

with characters getting killed and suplexed.

>>5600848
Who is that with the translucent purple plastic?

>>5600838
No, the booth was closed off for a while due to them handing out flyers for a separate event, then reopened with security posted at the table.

Frankly it was boneheaded to hand out a flyer with "MEGA 3rd PARTY MEETUP" in large letters at an official convention. They should've just did a general flyer for an external store with clever phrasing, and put the more direct word out online, Every con I've been to that advertised outside of con events that where risqué or not allowed within the con used indirect phrasing to allude to it.

Word is it'll be Deathzaurus. There's really no way to humanoid Sky Lynx without HEAVY heavy retooling, which that torso doesn't seem to have.

Sure wanting paint is nice till it starts rubbing off from use in the connector post held by friction.

You think Takara can't handle the engineering? They are the actual people that Hasbro goes to do the actual engineering for the majority of TF toys. All the Generation stuff was actually made by them.

>>5600932
I never said they couldn't (different person from who you've been talking to) I'm saying making limbs is a completely different scenario than a 2 piece torso. It doesn't make sense to compare.

Yes, but less greebles is not no greebles, which is not only what you were implying when you posted, but what people like >>5600820 seem to want.

I mean, yeah, GGG is a sheet of construction paper next to fucking Hexatron's lumpy space ninja ass, but the headmasters in the OP all have pretty basic tech detailing that add to the their designs, rather than taking anything away. Mindwipe might be overdoing it a bit, but both Wolfwire(or what the hell ever his name is now) and Skullcruncher have an excellent balance.

>>5601161
I have the Autobot retools (Prowl, Ironhide, Mirage, Sunstreaker) of the Stunticons and I have to say Breakdown/Sunny is my least favourite because of the way his kibble hangs off the back of him, and how blocky his legs feel compared to his arms.

Mirage's back kibble twists and pegs nicely, Prowl's folds down and up neatly and Ironhide's can at least have his combiner hand/foot wedged in there to give him extra shoulder artillery, Movieverse style. The most Sunstreaker can do is give himself ungainly smokestacks, like your pic related.

I don't dislike any of them, though.

Having 0 Decepticons besides Steeljaw for 4 waves is a terrible idea for a kids line where you need bad guys for your good guys to fight.

Looking at the hinges on the lower legs, it seems like the back part of the ambulance folds into the hollow legs. So maybe you can half-unfold them to make it look less hollow...if that triggers you?

Anyone happen to be getting rid of individual UW autobots? I'm just looking for Tak Sunstreaker.

Ok, so we're apparently getting only 6 more legends in TR if we assume the next part of the Prime Wars trilogy is coming out in summer 2017. Of those 6, 3 are probably already taken by repaints (Frenzy, Eject, and Steeljaw), so what do you assume will be the last 3?

Assuming the same for Deluxes, we have 8 spots, and 2 are already filled, so what do you think the last 6 will have?

So I walked into my room and found what my brother did

>>5601508
If we get most of the standard cassette assortment, the last legend will include Ratbat, and Ramhorn with one last figure that could be anything.

Deluxe class already has Gateway, and Brainstorm. Since they keep releasing movie bots, they might include a Hot Rod since he hasn't gotten a normal toy in forever (I don't count the Legends). I want to say the last 5 will include the second stringer Headmasters, (with Hosehead being a voyager along with Apeface and Snapdragon) but that's just wishful thinking.

On the Japan articles, the TFW always seems to treat them as if they were mindless rubbish. Some things aren't great, and sometimes its offensive to western audiences, but there's need for the article to have a clear bias towards it.

I'll post some examples:

-In the jovial Japanese dub of Beast Machines, most of the characters underwent major changes to ratchet up the satirical comedy. Nightscream was turned into a, well, flaming homosexual in the Japanese version. Like all characters in the dub, he had his own vocal tic: A habit of chanting and repeating "Fuu!", which was the catchphrase of Japanese comedian Masaki Sumitani when performing his "Hard Gay" persona (which was popular in the early '00s). Nightscream also became obsessed with fashion and style, making various comments like an effeminate, preening fashionista. His petname for Rattrap was "Aunty". Silverbolt spent more time with Nightscream than he did Blackarachnia, as they were both flyers, which often incited angry commentary from the jealous fembot (who derisively referred to them as the "homo-tachi" or "gay boys"). Silverbolt would constantly deny her accusations, insisting he wasn't gay. Stay classy, Japan.

- This page: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fight!_Super_Robot_Lifeform_Transformers_issue_7

And since this was altered in the last few years, pretty much everything related to Arcee's treatment in the Headmasters anime. I should also mention they didn't react that badly to IDW's Arcee, but they sure hate that now.

So I know someone from whom I can get a complete TFCC Astrotrain for a reasonable price. I'm not familiar with the mold as Jetfire(?), but I like his size, overall look, and that fact that he has an interior compartment in shuttle mode. What are your thoughts on him?

>>5601659
I like the mold, but there's no real thigh articulation, just a swivel. He has pretty good articulation everywhere else except there.

>>5601657
Geez louise, talk about gestapo.

Maybe this is the wrong place because this looks like a bunch of shit posting but I don't see any other Transformers thread. Does anyone know if the HLJ.com pre-order for MP Optimus Primal included the mace accessory? It's specified on the bbts pre-order but that one is like 30 dollars more than at HLJ and 10 more than the standard one at bbts.

>>5601659
having owned the Jetfire version of the mold
pluses: great shuttle mode. Best in franchise? (can't say for sure, never owned Sky Lynx) makes better legs for Armada Optimus Prime than his trailer.

cons: limited articulation in legs. cargo bay is pretty small in default mode. iirc you can adjust his robot mode arms in vehicle mode to expand the cargo bay, though

>>5601672
>mace

Nope, thats a hasbro asia exclusive.

Premium collectables DOES do it though if you don't mind ordering via an australian site, not sure if others like tf source do though, you'd best ask them directly.

No confirmation who did it, and no one cares about some convention toy. If you want an overpriced piece of plastic, you can buy 3P shit or MP's like the rest of us.

So TF Source got shut down again after they managed to get back after their 3p fest in another hotel.

I own it. It's alright. Certainly a piece of it's time. Don't expect anything dynamic in posing options as he lacks forward and back hips, with his arms being a tad short. His new head is a tad bug eyed with an expression that has the look as if someone as popped him a left field question.

His size and alt mode are great. Despite not triple changing, he scratches that Astrotrain itch as a stand one finds something better.

As an old exclusive piece, he's great for the novelty with the mini-cons he comes with being a nice Marvel influenced touch.

It will probably take another 10-30 years.

My reasoning being thats when everyone in power at Hasbro who loved G1 will be ousted due to being too old, and then the very next Transformers property after G1 (because G2 didn't HAVE a cartoon, just G1 reruns with CGI switchovers), was BW.

>>5601728
They did until Saturday. Then that happened first thing Saturday morning. Speculation is FP did it due to last year's set not selling out by the end of the convention last year, so they just let loose. still, really slimy of them to do that.

I mean, if it was released by itself it would have a differently colored Weaponmaster, and would have more color variation. Scrounge should be a skinnier bot, and that Cosmos mold is hella chunky. The head is fine, sure, but the only reason they even chose that mold is because Cosmos turns into a round-ish thing and the character isn't popular enough to make a unique mold for.

>there are 2 active /tfg/ threads

What the fuck guise

Anyone, onto my question, there are normally 3 lines of tf's at one time, a generations gimmicky line (cw, TR), the current TF show, and the MP line, excluding rescuse bots and the like.

I'm...running out of room, once CW/UW concludes (since I loved gestalts) I'm thinking of sticking primarily to just one, since I'm a g1 faggot I'm thinking mp's would be wise.

Anyone else scaling down, I know one thing is for sure I will have my generation seekers complete (though miss-matched, one henkei ramjet and generations starscream to break up the 2 trios), and I know once an mp galvatron/TRUE MP triple changer comes I'll quit for good, can't go on forever grabbing what "looks cool" with no proper place to store them all

>>5602748
>>there are 2 active /tfg/ threads
Yeah, I think one of the mods deleted a bunch of posts again and revived this thread.

What exactly is your question, though? It is true that the current strategy is to run several Transformers line at the same time:
>Rescue Bots for all your Playskool needs
>the current TV show for grade school-age kids
>Generations (gimmick or not) for more dedicated kids and collectors
>the rare Masterpiece release for those who want more G1 slavishness

>>5602753
Surprised the mods don't just delete one since they're both on the same topic and one eventually goes anyway.

Well, I'm more or less asking if anyone else is in the same position of down scaling their collections due to space, and which line would they go for since price and size is a factor

>Generations (gimmick or not) for more dedicated kids and collectors
Well i hope those collectors aim for the takara releases, what I see on the shelves is more or less a "reintroduction" for younger fans who grew up with parents who were tf fans.

I sure as hell wouldn't let my little one touch cw wheeljack, rather pay for the older generations release, if its not heavy retooling of stocky builds its the more bare minimum of paint work, which is why I'm aiming at mp's despite still grabbing the odd cw here and there

There's an interesting look to him. It's as if the Masterpiece treatment was given to a Classics-style redesign.

>on the last day
It was early Saturday morning I'm pretty sure. Most people wouldn't have the chance to buy them.

Cyberjet combiner when? Preferably with the Decepticons done first so I can get Hooligan & Space Case as soon as possible.

People were complaining about it on Saturday morning, you dolt.

Fresh from takara tomy mall listings

They could've just used the lavender plastic for all of his purple bits, then painted in the silver and lilac.

The translucent pink seems pointless the way they laid out his deco.

yeah, if computron is any indication, hasbro will have multiple, halfhearted iterations of the guy, while takara will do it right the first fricking time

Now this is cute

>>5602864
Another strange homage it seems, I'm torn, kinda wanted it for my UW bruticus, but I might skip that.

Unless I can form a camera bot like the dudes from botcon

>>5602869
It's not a strange homage. Takara clearly wants to stay consistent with their cartoon deco thing, but it just doesn't work right on the Legends Shockwave mold.

I think they wanted an excuse to slather him in paint, lavender plastic might pop out too much

Was there any pics of hasbro's hardhead?

I...actually don't mind the deco on the hasbro versions of these guys, well the heads could of been better but unlike guys like blurr and scourge they came out alright.

But was there a pic of him at botcon, all I can find are pics that make it look like he's got a flat coat/painted surface, I know for a fact the actual toy won't look like this
