Well they set it the fuck up for one. Maybe the IDW TMNT game they're making will get them more money for a bigger budget.
>>
>>5617301
I wouldn't mind seeing it. They've already got the basics in place. By taking advantage of the "class" setup they made they could slot new characters pretty easily into the existing roles (for example, swaping Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and Prime out for Arcee, Hot Rod, Kup, and Magnus and doing a Pre-movie era storyline with basically the same movelists). With Grimlock there again, that could practically be done as DLC.

A lot of the weapons are based on actual weapons found with the toys or in the series.

That being said, I would give all my money to someone who makes even a shapeways set.

So over here, Legion toys cost half as much as CW deluxes. With a budget of one deluxe's worth per week, should I grab a Combaticon or pick up Fixit?
>>
>>5617551
And here its $5 difference.

What appeals more, meme bot or a bigger war machine with more (intended) features?

Which do you have a bigger affinity too?

Or if those won't help, which is simply stocked more?

We have a legion wave of just sideswipe's and fixits, and cw deluxes don't last very long.

Get the combaticon before the skyreign wave clears, otherwise use the past questions above

Some had better tolerances on the clip so the waist don't flop, but yeah, it still looks bad, still can't believe the turret doesn't rotate either.

was not aware of this. why doesnt it rotate?
>>

Budget.
>>

Well of course. But is there a part of the transformation that would prohibit the turret from rotating?

BBTS is an online US store.
It might take a while before they actually hit the stores in the US, and even longer to reach further.

I'm getting all my figures online, my country is shit at getting stuff and everything is insanely overpriced.
>>
>>5617699
Same reason why the cw/uw constructions don't have working cranes etc.

It literally is budget, to have an extendable crane or tank turret rotation requires extra joints that may be beyond their budget.

Those bells and whistles all belong to mp's now these days

No, they just didn't wanted to expend on the missing panel to put the swivel.

Tell it to hasbro, whatever the case, I've only seen one green image of brawl, and that's in the digital render, If the displayed bruticus is the cartoon version, I don't see why the brown brawl wouldn't be, maybe it's lighting, idk.

>>5617706
>>5617714
>>5617730

that's unfortunate. hasbro has their reasons why TFs are built moresimply now, but this change is a shame because before, all tank formers had swivels, as long as the turret isnt part of the transformation.
>>
>>5617820

How many times has that orange botlet even transformed in the show?

the working treads didnt help with that either

I liked Classics tank Megatron, had a rotating turret but the turret is his arms. very intuitive

Yes he does, but his turret cannon doesn't go up/down.

None? Not counting the impressive weapons systems his model of Mini-Con possesses, he hasn't done any transforming.

So he's next to Laserbeak for having basically no alt mode.
>>
>>5617854
dont think he has?
>>
>>5617861

I have one, that I got on the 2nd hardest difficulty, and the damn thing has shit stats. Which means I'd need one to drop with good stats before I could do much with it. Pisses me off, honestly.

Is it Animated Grimlock's sword, or just a larger, flaming version of the G1 Energo-sword?

The retard answer is budget

The actual answer is because that's how the transformation works.
>>
>>5617869
same actually... but it was so cool that i didnt care and i upgraded it to the power of my current weapons

>Dunno why Grimlock's default weapons are fists in the game.
oh its because he never used a sword in the cartoon. only one of the other Dinobots got to use his sword and he used it to shoot lasers
>>
>>5617874
the latter, its quite impressive though. nice range

as well, the normal energo sword doesnt have a red handle, only Grimlock's Sword does
>>
>>5617876
Provide proof, because from what I've seen, nothing's stopping it from being there.

>>5617876
>put a thin, flat, plastic bar with mushroom or ball joint or pinned swivel on the hinges that make the forward/back turrent motion

It's gotta be pure budget. But given how well CW probably sold, and how much mold reuse there was, the individual molds should've been a bit better done in some cases.
>>
>>5617877
Plus, fists thematically tie in with his grab moves as part of his role as the close-range power character.

Hopefully they do better with the TR deluxes. None of the currently-revealed figures seem to need turret rotation, but a bunch of their alt modes do have some nice touches.

>>
>>5617907

I'm honestly assuming at this point, that all of the CW budget went into making every figure a decent limb and those strong as fuck ratchets. The individual molds are good despite their repetition, and the only real issue thats popped up so far is Brawl's waist tolerances being off at times and the helicopter molds handfootgun peghole possibly being a magnet for stress related failures long-term thanks to it's thinness and the peg holes/handfootgun peg tolerances being all over the place.

And paint apps aside, yeah, the TR shit looks great so far. Gonna nab me a Takara Blurr and Scourge, and the rest Hasbro.

>optimus comes in and saves the day

this worked better in RID season one, because he wasn't in 90% of the episodes
>>
>>5618063
It's using a budget method the animation studio developed for Knights of Sidonia
https://youtu.be/51LMOJu9lwc

It doesn't look as good as TFP's animation but it allows them to churn out assets much quicker. It's why they could introduce a new transformer almost every other episode in RID.

In a previous panel the studio mentioned how
TFP was some sort production hell since transformer required at least 3 highly detailed models (robot, mid-transformation, alt mode). That's why the cast size is minimized and there's so many tricks employed
>Tailgate = cliffjumper
>Makeshift = wheeljack
>Alpha Trion is just a 2D painting.
>>
>>5618114
>It doesn't look as good as TFP's animation but it allows them to churn out assets much quicker. It's why they could introduce a new transformer almost every other episode in RID.

Also, PRID makes clever use of 2D backgrounds, meaning you can get much more variety than in Prime, which had only a few locations and battles mostly took place in rocky canyons

>TFP was some sort production hell
I heard about that too. episode would start production a long time before they air, much longer than your average cartoon

But I also bought a $200 Botcon Megatron based on a mold I bough for a tenth of thatt with my allowance as a kid so my willpower only goes so far.

are there any good figures of Crosshairs or Lockdown from the TF4 movie? All that seems to exist are fucking terrible box shaped deluxe figures. I'll go as far as third party or shitty chinese IP infringing $1 store blister pack figure if it looks half-way decent. I really like the look of the characters in the movie and would love nice figures, but they all look like ass. Lockdown also always has some nigger head too.
>>
>>5618547
I like the pretenders to be quite honest familia.

Toxitron also has a very sexy head design, although I'm sure FunPub will drop the ball again.

>>
>>5618646

>>5618769
The deluxe Crosshairs isn't garbage, but isn't that great either. The rubber bits try really hard to emulate his cape but don't quite pull it off. My hope is that he'll be back in TF5 and get a better toy there.

Lockdown's deluxe is just sad. It's DOTM Roadbuster's scheme, but simplified. Absolutely not a toy worthy of the main antagonist of the movie. Honestly, one of the big 2-step changers would probably have better shelf presence even if they're bricks.

AoE was just a bit of a clusterfuck of a toyline because budgets for the toys were at an all time low, while the designs became even more impossible to translate to toys. I'd have loved to see ROTF/HFTD-era budgets try to tackle these designs. Or even if they had kept human alliance, that would have been the ideal size to actually pull off these designs.

MMC's Hexatron, their Not-Sixshot. Probably one of the absolute best 3P toys in existence, and well worth his price tag. In my pic, thats his APC mode.

>>5618787
Quit getting so anally frustrated, people do it because it amuses them.
>>
>>5618837
It's not tied to the movie's performance. Basically, the cost of oil and labor went up significantly around 2010. This is why toys from ROTF are fuckhuge and intricate (often TOO intricate) compared to today's. Compare Battle Blades Bumblebee (nearly a voyager) to AoE Bumblebee to see the difference.

I may have my timeline wrong, but I feel AoE was one of the first lines the current design team produced, so a bit of it was just growing pains. They seem to have figured out how to work within their budgets better now (and cost have stabilized, more or less compared to 2010ish), so I am hopeful that TF5 will be a bit better, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
>>
>>5618787
I like it because I can never remember the third party names.
>>
>>5618846
Honestly I felt the budget crunch pretty hard messing with a lot of FoC toys.

Grimlock is hollow as shit, lankier than you'd expect from him, and all his ratchets are plastic tabs, the slots for which are visible on the outside of the figure. I'd rather they didn't include the light up mouth gimmick if it meant he felt more substantial.
>>
>>5618854
Addendum: FoC Bruticus was so bad in hindsight I completely forgot about him.

I'd have rather Soundwave and Blaster be bumped from the lineup entirely if it meant Onslaught got to be a voyager instead. Also, Kickback could stand to get booted for an FoC Megatron.
>>
>>5618854
FoC hit right at the crisis point for the new budgets. I have this feeling that those toys were not originally designed to be made on the new, lower budgets and had to be downscaled mid-stream, resulting in such harshly hollow designs at times. Once they knew what they had to work with, things seemed to get better as the designers could plan things out and make the most of what they have.
>>
>>5618858
Pretty much the only figure I'd say was done unambiguously well was the seeker mold.
It doesn't feel nearly as wonky as any of the others, but even then it seems to go out of its way to hoover up the production team's money.

Oh my problem isn't the color or the plastic.
It's the engineering.

It looks like a goddamn trainwreck in combined mode because they wanted a scramble city combiner that was also expected to be the ONLY set of figures in the line using it and is based on a design that sure as hell didn't show any sign of this.

While the individual figures look okay just standing there, Swindle, Brawl and Onslaught suffer for having to do more than two modes without being able to rely on accessories to pull off either mode. Swindle's back doesn't exist, Brawl's mass is all in his backpack, Onslaught's vehicle mode is absolute garbage, and even Vortex and Blast Off don't leave unscathed since their limb modes are just as subpar.

This is why I love combiner wars so much. The HFG may not be substantial, the transformations all samey, but it's objectively a step in a better direction.

Surprisingly yes, I just posted with it and they are still pretty good, just strong enough to hold a pose in combined mode and it still ratchets.

>>
>>5619202
Well, no.
Because there are third party products that ARE the characters, made with the official license to reproduce them.
Gigantic Action Scorponok and the Hot Toys Optimus figure variants come to mind right away. They weren't made by Hasbro, but officially sanctioned.

This is why third party figures don't put actual Autobot/Decepticon insignias on the toys and come up with wacky backstories and comics; To make them feel more like something inspired by Transformers rather than a replacement or competitor.

I'm really considering it. Only on TFSource? I was holding off on Quakeblast till there was enough info on MP Shock to make a choice and nothing about MP Shock is appealing.

I just got my MP Shockwave in the mail today, and I'm thoroughly enjoying him myself. Admittedly he doesn't have as much going for him as other figures since there's only so much you can take due to him being in like five episodes of the cartoon. Plus I may be biased since I'm a tremendous fanboy who goes out of his way to get all the Chugways.

>>5619330
Have you seen his combination in show? They take quite a few liberties to make his bot mode.
>>
>>5619318
I really like a lot of MP Shockwave's tricks to keep everything mostly self-contained and stable in the long-term. Making his energy cable a metal coil with a string through it to keep it from uncoiling was brilliant. It puts to rest any fear of any rubber or rubberized plastic tearing itself apart while being tugged around by the transformation or just falling apart over time. The barrel is on an armature to keep it attached, folds up into a nice concise backpack, and he has a display stand for his gun mode that doubles as more accurate purple backpack.

May not look as immediately impressive as Quakewave or Quakeblast, but the simplicity of it all is what makes it so cool to me.
>>
>>5619328

The beastmode is probably the weakest overall, but in that pic I also folded his legs in a bit more than you normally would. You can see on the inside of his legs where I folded out some panels.

Personally, I love the wolfmode. The arms/front legs have a lot of articulation, and so does the head. It's only the back legs that are a bit funky, but they serve their purpose and honestly, it's not like you're going to be posing him on your shelf ass-end forward.

New batch of rumors from the Titans Returns leaker guys -


1. There will be a Titans Return Deluxe Class Krok who will be a repaint of skullsmasher.

2. There will be a Titans Return Deluxe Class Quake who will be a repaint of Hardhead

3. There will be a Titans Return Deluxe Class Kup

4. There will be a Titans Return Deluxe Class Topspin

5. The guys from transmissions Speculate that becuase topspin is getting a figure that there very well could be a deluxe twintwist as well. Seeing as how their paired actionmasters But there is no word on this yet if at all

6. During botcon one of the guys from RadiofreeCybertron asked John warden if there is a chance for a headmaster arcee. Seeing as how he loves HM arcee and the the response he got was alone the lines of " you'll be happy in 2017" however transmissions podcast can't confirm this yet as they have not heard about this from there source. So it is to be treated as a rumor not from them

Slow down buddy, that could be a potential mp megatron 2.0/galvatron/sky lynx/blast slot.

Guys, little help?

Even though I got mp ratchet coming I got an urge for another taste of that sweet sweet lambor mold, I already have g2 sideswipe but I feel like more, so I got 3 questions.

>clampdown or red alert anime version
>wait on australian tru to put their takara sideswipe's on clearance
>wait on a reissue of any of the past molds

Ok, maybe more than 3, but would there be any reissues at this point or is anime version red alert my best bet of that sorta thing, I find the deco boring but I lack that retool.

Will Hauler use anime colors, or toy colors?

Like past mp's, a mix of the 2 (show and toy) with real world vehicle aesthetics thrown in.

With an MP+ variant to fix that if need be

We just got an Arcee. People need to calm the fuck down.
>>
>>5619842
Wasn't Bruticus made of GI Joe vehicles? Might be infiltrating the good guys.
>>
>>5619853
We just got a Brainstorm.
>>
>>5619855
And no one was asking for a new one since we just got one. That's my point.
>>
>>5619857
It could just be one of those heads and the side vehicle is a car/bike. Then it doesn't step on toes like how the Brainstorms are based in different approaches to design with the new one being all boxy while the other one was aerodynamic.
>>
>>5618547
So I'm confused are these happening or not?
>>
>>5619855
>>5619857
...though the line kinda demands it since they made the main attraction deluxes, the old one is not only out of place but incompatible with the rest of the new line.

A new arcee as a head master may not be so bad this way, especially for those unable to get the generations, or better yet the perfect legends version.

In the end, its up to us to decide, let us leave the newer versions on the shelves to peg warm along with betaron
>>
>>5619857
Shut up wank stain, Headmaster Arcee deserves to be in the line more than Blurr. Brainstorm should get a new figure (though it's a half-assed retool of Blurr) since the old one is based on the comics, larger than his fellows, and is incompatible with the new line.

I wouldn't mind Suntreaker being in the line, but they blew that by including him in CW.
>>
>>5619088
We have to see the game series relaunch
Very unlikely
>>
>>5619865
More like everyone buys Arcee even if it is just Blurr with a different backpack face called Daniel.
>>
>>5619865
>>5619869
The line doesn't demand it. We just got an arcee that everyone thinks is perfect. Leave it. At least brainstorm makes more sense since he is a headmaster.

It's not a meme. It's canon.

Its an effeminate body type.

Nope. If they really intend to do her they'll make her a mold mate to Minerva (who was also a female Headmaster).

It will be Nightbeat, Siren, GoShuta, Arcee, Minerva, Chromedome, Getaway and Hot Rod for the same base mold with different heads, paint apps, and boobplates and you know it.
>>
>>5619903
If I remember headmasters and Super god master force correctly, minerva was a headmaster jr, so was cancer.

I predict minerva getting just a separate head like cancer/squeeze play, a body though I can't even guess
>>
>>5619900
They're out of place, should be in the targetmaster/ next generations line, they're only here because John warden thought he'd force movie tributes in the Headmaster line (even though they've all got platinum line releases).
>>
>>5619911
Titan Masters is intended to group all the "-master" guys except maybe the Micromasters under one united theme.
>>
>>5619888
>>5619903
We'll I see two current ones, Chromedome (since that was the original plan, bit too built though) or Blurr (Sleek design, altmodes sort of similar) I guess minerva could work, but it'd need some good (though it could be victorion tier) remolding from Nightbeat.

>>5619912
By turning them all into headmasters? nah, Targetmasters or bust.

>>5619912

Since they don't need to stick a combiner port in the torso, could they just switch out that while using same arm'leg parts?
>>
>>5619914
>but it'd need some good (though it could be victorion tier) remolding from Nightbeat.

I don't think it's going to be a Nightbeat remold. Hasbro has I think with Liokaiser (via SkyLynx) and Black Shadow (from Thunderwing) made it clear they are willing to do Japanese characters half-assed or not to justify the production of some fan favorites. They can easily do Nightbeat and Goshooter for dual use instead imo.
>>
>>5619919
He will be a minor retooling of Sonic Bomber, a guy that combines with the new Optimus Prime which is a composite of Godbomber and Sonic Bomber's designs.
>>
>>5619920
Probably.

>>5619922
Just going by the originals, though I reckon they won't give Siren/Goshooter his own mold like you said, fuck, they'll just use the chromedome mold for all of them.

I'd rather have a Target Master Quake than a Headmaster Quake
>>

Yes because a blatant remold of Blurr with wings, a new ead and weapons is a better alternative. Let me guess you are one of the people who thought the endless rounds of remolds for CW was a great idea too.
