FIGURE WHEN

>>5647376
Why do all the official in-hand pics of this guy from Hasbro's FB page have such a weird tall visor? Do they keep mistransforming the helmet or what?

>>5647431
Never ever. They are fictional in a fictional series.

Just ordered Vortex and Blast Off from HTS to complete my Combaticon team.

Bruticus, here I come!

>>5647434
It's likely a combination of the in-hand image being at a bad angle compared to the stock art and not having the helmet sit snugly.

>>5647357
Not all magical girls are that Madoka shit. The best ones are just cute fun. Like CCS or PPGZ

No, it's my go to for "cute classic mahou shoujo." I hate the bullshit stuff that thinks being a magical girl needs to have suffering. The genre is "cute girls fight evil with cute girliness and cute magic." And Madoka is shit.

>>5647513
You know, I never noticed how autistic people could be about eye color in TFs until animated bought back the classic G1 blue=Autobot/ red=Decepticon thing. All the series I grew up with(BW through Cybertron) weren't really strict about eye colors on certain factions and I never thought anything of it.

>>5647640
I hope we get to see what takara fort max looks like soon.

Movie Barricade reminds me of an Alternator

>>5647644
Don't worry, they'll make it when they inevitably start releasing the animal combiners. Remember, they're releasing Trypticon 4 years AFTER they released Metroplex.

>>5647654
The same, but with The Headmasters colors with a sword for Fortress, and FM. Let's hope they didn't forget the gun.

I wish hasbro released some animal combiners cause the wave he's supposed to combine with (Trailbreaker and Wheeljack) suck.

>>5647678
>>5647678
Colorwise, he works with the Optimus Maximus team. Thematically, he should be all planes, or planes with helicopters.

>>5647678

G2 Superion's limbs.

>>5647678
>>5647685

This.

The G2 Superion limbs are actually perfect for Sky Reign. The colors match.

How easy/hard is it to disassemble the CW copter mold? Once I get Vortex I wanna repaint him into a more toon-like deco.

>>5647721

It's ridiculous how good that looks. Fuck. I almost am considering getting a G2 Superion since they're so fucking cheap just to use with a Skylynx.

>>5647749
The base of the rotors, tail assembly and knees are pinned in but other than that everything else is balljoints and swivels with the odd screw. Shouldn't have too much trouble disassembling him completely if you have something to knock out the pins.

>>5647765
Yep, me too now. I had no idea it all matched up so well.

>>5647765
Well, Sky Reign has very similar colors to G2 Superion.

>>5647721
That reminds me, how Orange is G2 Superion's Orange?

>>5647923
It's red.

Is there a comprehensive list of white Optimus toys? Not to be confused with City Commander. I know that he was named Ultra Magnus and then Nova Prime later for toy sake, but I have a soft spot for white Optimus recolor toys. Besides the G1, Classics and MP, what others are there?

>>5647957
The white Bendy Armada Prime packaged with an Armada Sideswipe redecoed as G1 Dead End during the first Universe toyline.

>>5647955
Why? Wasn't the original bright orange and Hasbro tried to go as close to the original as possible? Why is CW G2 Superion's Orange actually Red?

>>5647765
>>5647721
>>5647822
>>5647891
No, fuck you guys, don't get me all tempted to get it too...

>>5647970
From what I gather, the red on the original G2 Silverbolt is similar to certain shades of purple in that it will change color wildly on-camera depending on seemingly arbitrary factors

>>5647721
with a RIGHT ARM OF GOLDEN BURNING JUSTICE or something

>>5647998
So in person, G2 and CW G2 both have the same red?

>>5647957

MP's are great display pieces but not the best toys

>>5648116
Eh later ones make good toys I think. Anything after MP-11's are pretty damn durable.

The Voyager sized ones are usually pretty good toys. Hotrod's great, if you ignore the fact that chrome is eventually going to come off like every bit of chrome on every toy, played with or not.

>>5647957
The Classics that was a Japan exclusive or sold in the US bundled with an exclusive Skywarp at only Target. He's pricey now though... like ~$60usd last I looked.

>>5648121
Nothing a little testors silver can't fix of course.

>>5647376
No, why would it? Headmaster Soundwave will be more fun with a playability factor of being a headmaster and turning into a base. The MP is great, but fun toys are good too.

Everyone is assuming that you meant durability but I'm going to bet you meant that they are too damn fiddly to be fun to play with, and if that's the case I agree.

>>5648151
I've never seen it as a spray, only in little bottles for like $2-3.

>>5648167
Ehhh not all are fiddly. Seekers, yes. Ultra magnus, yes. Datsuns, yes.

The lambos, optimus prime, hot rod, wheeljack and soundwave are all fairly non-fiddly. Especially the lambos and wheeljack.

A second run of the earlier figures with some tweaks to the molds (like fixing the 'copter mold ports) would be nice, but that ain't happening....

At least you can replace Alpha Bravo with Quickslinger (theoretically) and Blades with Groove (again... theoretically).

I keep hearing about this issue, is it really that bad?

I think only one or two of us actually has a broken port. Most of us just sees the stress marks and it feels bad man.

>>5648249
Right on the port. You can see it from the out side.

That being said, Blades is probably the most extreme case of it. If you get a new Vortex and shave down the hfg peg a bit beforehand, it probably won't break. My Blades' port is actually still in tact. I'm just nervous about it and haven't put Defensor together for a long time.

>>5648256
Damn, I still hope they fix it for the G2 and UW Vortex.

Thank you very much friend.

This looks like... even more of a mix than the Stunticon's were for me. I have Unite Warriors for the, but I use Hasbro Dragstrip for a dash more color on that mold.

100% Unite Warriors Nosecone, but I like UW Lightspeed more. I think I like UW Scattershot more. Eeesh. Stuff to considering for this round.

I just realized I got so used to buying my Takara combiners as sets I thought Giftset meant Unite Warriors, when in this case it means Hasbro.

So I probably do want versions of characters from both sets. I just woke up. I need to go to work. Instead I'm looking at toys and getting confused. God damn it.

Okay. Shit. I'll just have to check all this out later, when I can actually read and comprehend at the same moment. Shit.

Hasbro on the left, Takara on the right.

>Afterburner
They share a Groove retool. Despite the picture, they both use the Takara head.
>Lightspeed
Streetwise, Breakdown. Takara's has a new head.
>Strafe
Hasbro uses a significant retool of the Air Raid mold, while Takara did a similar level of retooling to the UW Blast Off.
>Nosecone
Brawl has a new weapon and nothing else; Rook is given a new shell, some treads, a head, and that huge fucking drill.
>Scattershot
Both reuse the Betatron Scattershot. Takara further retools the mold witha new head, a new chest, new kneepads, and new torso chest halves.

Hasbro also comes with Scrounge, a head-retool of Legends Cosmos that comes with the shuttle targetmaster. Hasbro's Computron comes with newly-molded hands and feet that do not transform; the feet have a similar range to Victorion's feet.

Takara Computron retains each mold's HFG's, but includes weapons that can combine into a larger blaster for the gestalt to wield.

>>5648442
Hasbro doesn't name their sets, they're just toy gift box sets, not fancy flip up display like the unite warrior sets.

Have fun at work anon

>>5648433
Dudicus is to be released "Summer 2016", which should be around June or July. Neither Computron nor Liokaiser have release periods as of now, but they're sure to come after G2 Bruticus.

The CW box sets are still gonna be doing their thing while Titans Return starts running, it seems.

>>5648446
Really the base of computron's gun is just strafe's 2 guns fused together with hard points, much like superion optimus maximus and defensor types (one hard point on each).

Its nice that this new gun has multiple hardpoints though, better than stuffing them randomly around the body

That dragon/gun/dinosaur will be sold to Americans on a card with Titan Master Crashbash

If Americans want Different Grax, they'll have to import one, either loose or with Japanese Skullsmasher.

If Japanese want Crashbash, they'll have to import one loose or with dragon/gun/dinosaur.

Right?

>>5648616
I love beastbots but I alternate my Transformers between display and storage. Beasts are usually a lot harder to pack up neatly than vehicles as their altmodes still have limbs/wings/what-have-you.

There's also no reason that Hasbro or Takara can't release the alternate Grax for their region somehow down the line. Given how Takara does all those promotional minicons, I wouldn't be shocked if they make promo heads later.

And sentinel prime better remain a hasbro exclusive so takara can express their astrotrain

Those $40 G1 Prime KOs you find on eBay are actually higher quality than the Encore line.

>>5647644
it might be due to the fact you can still buy the Platinum reissue off Amazon for $100.

>>5647957
Legends Family Dollar Magnus. But they went stupid and painted the legs navy blue for some reason even though they are cast in white.

There's also a variant of the G1 Prime KO in solid white, with white trailer and Roller. The cab is slightly different from Magnus.

Anyway, the deco for Takara Nose con is the only one that irks me. They had orange art and an orange toy for Afterburner but he ended up red everywhere else anyway. But that's enough to ignore red cartoon appearances and make Nosecone the odd man out?

>Sirens were believed to combine women and birds in various ways. In early Greek art, Sirens were represented as birds with large women's heads, bird feathers and scaly feet. Later, they were represented as female figures with the legs of birds, with or without wings, playing a variety of musical instruments, especially harps. The 10th-century Byzantine encyclopedia Suda[18] says that from their chests up Sirens had the form of sparrows, below they were women, or, alternatively, that they were little birds with women's faces. Birds were chosen because of their beautiful voices. Later Sirens were sometimes depicted as beautiful women, whose bodies, not only their voices, are seductive.

Why do people cling to this? Earth Wars is just the shitty Clash of Clans mobile game. We don't know what the third part of the trilogy is going to be, but I guarantee it's not going to be fucking Earth Wars.

>>5649273
Pre-ten-ders, Pre-ten-ders

>>5649273
I think because people are desperate to figure out what the new gimmick would be. I got to admit, I'm curious too. I still highly doubt pretenders, that'd be way too costly for them. And we already have the mini-guys down here with Titans, so no Minicons. Cyber keys maybe?

Or dare I say, an entirely new gimmick altogether? What could that possibly be?

>>5649273
Laser Rods. A LED in every Deluxe, and a soundbox in the Leaders and Voyagers.

>>5649241

>>5649281
I feel like if they reduced the complexity, they could get Mega Pretender-style things in the Voyager class.
Deluxes are fucked though, they'd have to just be robots-that-look-like-shells.

>>5649284
Toyworld is striving to make the least interesting array of characters possible.

>>5649281
>Cyber keys maybe?
Nobody liked Cyber Keys, they're just Mini-Cons with no budget.

>>5649291
Well the issue is there is a lot of complaints about reduced complexity as it stands, is lowering it even more for pretenders a good idea? Having a single line of Pretenders wouldn't be a bad idea, Legends figures with the shells, that'd work. But it's next to impossible to do a Pretender gimmick that fits Legends, Deluxes, and Voyagers like CW and TR did.

>Cyber Series-esque larger shells (without reducing articulation like the Cyber Series did), Legends-sized guys inside them
>Deluxes have... dunno, clip-on armor that can be attached to the Voyagers?

>Leaders are outside the gimmick, like in Combiner Wars

>>5649319

>>5649326

>>5649321
What's the Cyber Series? I apologize, I don't recall that.

And I guess you can make a new gimmick around swapping armor and pieces between Transformers, that might work. Not full on Construct-Bots, but they really seem to want to make things customizable here.

>>5649330
go read the place, and even on /toy/ you will find someone throwing a massive shitstorm of a tantrum if anything is a nostalgia homage instead of a new character. This thread has people crying over Warden.

Looks ok as a Blaster, but I'll hold out for a Twincast. Too bad this mold doesn't work for Soundwave.

What if I already have a Hasbro MP Soundwave

>40 minute long toy review

for what purpose?

also why does he have a dildo in the review???

>>5649687
Yeah, I was wondering about that. I just gave the benefit of the doubt and assumed I imagined it.

>>5649663
>those week-ass joints and hand-gun tolerances
Are they already producing KOs?

>>5649677
...we know you do.

>no hollow
>ankle tilts
>looks good overall

Still finds something to whine about. Never change, /toy/.

>>5649711
Weak joints aren't something to just scoff away though.

I haven't watched the review yet, but I want Soundwave so I hope it's good.

>>5649711
>it's wrong to point out flaws on a figure

Even if this is just a factory reject they got their hands on it's still worth pointing out.

>>5649714
The joint only looked weak when moving the legs to the side, it seemed to hold up the other poses fine.

>>5649660
>no ratchets in shoulders and hips
>loose-ass friction joints
They better sort that out for Soundwave.

>Titanmaster connection is solid and doesn't look like it'd have any potential issues that Brainstorm would've had on a bad QC day.

I meant my own. Should I still trade my second one?

>>5649731
He's afraid he'll lose them like a child would.

>>5649736
If the first one has all his stuff, fuck yes you should.

Man, looking at those TR Ravage images is just sad. He looks so bad.

>>5649745
I'm a little disappointed in those Wheelie pics too.

don't talk to me or my tiny orange son again

>>5649753
The colors don't look as good, but it looks like it'll be the stand out legends of this wave. Every wave has one that's usually the most fun.

>>5649660
Not bad, Really want to see Pm prime though.

>>5649753
>>5649769
Think the Takara one will have better colors?

I'm not like loathing this deco but I wish the shades of orange were more uniform like in the renders.

>>5649769
Hopefully it's a case of the pictures making the colors look worse.

>>5649786
Yeah, it's a shame the yellow isn't just the orange on the legs. It's one time I'm asking for less detail on a toy, which is kinda weird.

>>5649753
Did they change the upper half's shade of orange? He's practically yellow up there.
