Man, I'm actually pretty hyped about TR. Lots and lots of new molds and it looks /fun/. Although I've also enjoyed CW, so I'm happy with this coming year toy-wise.

Me too. Overall I thought CW was okay, I didn't mind the repaints though I was disappointed at the sheer number of more bots than cons, TR is looking to be a lot better in many areas.

>>5649962
Yeah. I've got the MP Line and third party for collector quality stuff. I don't mind the stuff on shelves having fun gimmicks.
>>
>>5649955
For me it's a lot of guys who never really got good toys referencing their original gimmick.

Guys like Hardhead has what, 1 repaint of Onslaught, 1 planed Warpath redeco.

Highbrow hasn't had a new toy in what? 30 years almost?

That and the tail end of G1 in the US had some interesting designs and not the 20th version of Prime in 4 years.

Not yet. Hopefully by the 21st we'll start seeing things trickling in.

All I see though in regards to TR on shelves is a single Buzzsaw that refuses to sell.

Got my legends wreck gar yesterday and holy shit I've never had to shave so much plastic that wasn't gunpla.

All pegs used for bike mode were mishapen and had to be shaved a bit.

Anyone else have this issue with him?

I don't have Wreck-Gar, but I had to shave the shin tabs on my CW First Aid when I first got it. The mold flash meant I couldn't tab the whole back half of the vehicle mode in until I brought out my exacto.

Anyone else think this guy was just boring? He hits all the right design buttons for me (-master gimmick, human like g1 face, blocky, construction vehicle), but he's so dull. A little annoying to get everything transformed right, too.
>>
>>5650168
Wreck gar guy here.

I also got quillfire in the same package, but he had too much plastic in his shoulder ball and socket. I shaved just a tiny bit to prevent more stress marks and of course that tiny bit was too much. Oh well.
>>
>>5650178
To me his main draw is you can put his minicons inside his scoop bucket.

Otherwise I do feel like too much of the budgeted plastic went into the minicons, leaving the main figure kinda small.

Facts like Frenzy appearing as blue in the comics six months prior to the first episode of the cartoon airing? Facts like his G1 toy being blue and not red?

There's no "supposed to be" for Rumble and Frenzy. That's how it's always been and that's how it's always going to be. You can see Frenzy as being red and that's fine. But there's nothing concrete on what his "official" color is going to be because they were fucking toy commercials from the 80s and no-one producing them gave that much of a shit.

Four months. The first episode of the cartoon aired in September but Frenzy didn't even show up until 14, which was in December.

You mean Quillfire's shoulders? I'm a bit concerned too. The ball joint feels too tight for the tiny piece of plastic it's on.

Never actually broken a toy before since I started collecting a year ago, but they make me nervous as hell.
>>
>>5650416
Mine had some flash on the ball part. Even after removing that though it was still right.

>>5650387

Probably because the animals are robots. They only seem to dislike actual animals (ie: Beastwars style).

His head/neck look a bit weird to me. Like he's a fat bat or something. Been wiping out too many donuts, not enough minds.

There's nothing wrong with that.
>>
>>5650210

Why is this even remotely an issue?

If you want Rumble to be red, that's fine. Plenty of instances where he was

If you want Rumble to be blue, that's perfectly okay too. Plenty of instances to base that on too.

It's really a non-issue. Call the red one whatever you want. No need to deride someone for what is purely a subjective issue

Fuck my tender virgin boypussy. I'll suck 10 cocks for those to happen.
>>
>>5650226

The facts are that Rumble and Frenzy's colors have been inconsistent in toys and media throughout the characters existence

In the end, just pick the combination you personally prefer. You won't be wrong because something supports your choice. And as such, the other person who likes the opposite arrangement isn't technically wrong either. Their personal choice is not going to hurt you

It's not worth fighting over.
>>
>>5650511
Has there ever been a US toy of rumble who was blue, or frenzy who was red?
90% of the media matches the toy
hell even some of the G1 cartoon (like the secret files of teletran 1) matches it.
The problem was more that Rumble got all the screen time in the G1 cartoon, and for some reason Frenzy also had the piston drivers.
But Frenzy is the sound bot in blue. Rumble is the rockin one in red
>>
>>5650526
That's still missing the point of what he was getting at. In 2016 there's no point of fighting over it and claiming that one single source is correct is stupid when it's been flipped back and forth so many times over the years, unless you're one of those people that for some reason sees the G1 cartoon as the be-all end-all of Transformers fiction.
>>
>>5650542
>In 2016
That's NEVER a legitimate argument.
>there's no point of fighting over it and claiming that one single source is correct is stupid when it's been flipped back and forth so many times over the years
Except it hasn't.
Toys are toys. They follow the toy naming pattern.
The Japanese cartoon also followed the toy naming pattern.
The American comics also followed the naming pattern (with a few mistakes in IDW)
It's pretty much just G1, and the Aligned SHOW continuity.

So it's pointless when discussing toys to object to Rumble being Red.
>>
>>5650526
>Has there ever been a US toy of rumble who was blue

Yes. RTS Rumble.

>b-but it didn't get released!
doesn't matter. The point is they intended to release a blue Rumble.

Rumble is blue/Frenzy is red is just as valid as the other way around. Deal with it faggot.
>>
>>5650554
They didn't release it, so the argument is invalid because we're talking about confusion over TOY names.
You can make Rumble Blue in the show all you want.
His toy will still be Red.
>>
>>5650557
There is no confusion. It's just faggots like you who feel the need to push one over the other when both are valid. Doesn't matter if it wasn't released. Fact of the matter is Hasbro considers Rumble can be blue.
>>
>>5650565
my fucking god man, why does it bother you so much that Hasbro an Takara won't release a Blue Rumble?
Toy Rumble is Red. Always has been, and for the forseeable future, will be.
So let it go already. Buy Frenzy and name him Rumble. Who cares, it's your toy. But no one should complain that Hasbro and takara name Rumble as Rumble.

>>5650457
why is the transformers fandom is filled with shills? this piece of crap galv would not be acceptable several years ago. paint is shit.

granted, universe galv was bad too, but that was because of the mold, not the paint apps. the paint apps on that galv were fine. hasbro has seem to have just given up. like they're not even trying with some of these. the last great figure hasbro came out with was probably leader magnus
>>

Oh so you're saying that them not doing something that they weren't told to do is a discussion?
>>
>>5650637
>defends universe galvatron at all
>thinks his opinions mean anything
>>
>>5650637
actually now that I look at him again, the mold is shit, too. cannon is oversized, knees are overly bulky, head crown doesn't look accurate whatsoever. also whats with the weird spikey things on the sides of his head?

also, I fucking despise that dull plastic gray on his legs. it honestly looks unpainted, and a lot of other figures have that same dull unpainted look. whether its because of the poor economy and hasbro is losing money or what, you have to admit the quality has declined. if you can't see that you're either blind or a shill.

having said all that, the Astrotain in the background doesn't look half bad. but once again, that doesn't excuse galvatron looking like shit.
>>
>>5650641
Man you're either really shitty or just bad at shitposting.
>>
>>5650639
all I did was complement the paint job, anon. you must've missed the part where I admit the mold is where it failed. paint job was fine and didn't have any of that dull gray this galv has all over him practically.
>>
>>5650643
>Man you're either really shitty

what does that even mean? I'm shitty cuz I disagree with you about toy robots? you can't call someone a shitposter while in the same breath shitpost, buddy.
>>
>>5650646
The majority of the universe galvatron is an ugly gray. Go on though.
>>
>>5650649
its a dark gray, though. the gray on the new one looks unpainted and unfinished... and now I'm repeating myself, and yet I'm called shitty despite you guys proving you're not even reading my posts without getting triggered and responding immediately because transformers are serious business apparently
>>
>>5650648
You're shitty as in you are just warped out of your mind about toys. So yes. You're either a really shitty person or just bad at shitposting.
>>
>>5650653
We are. You're making complaints about galvatron looking like galvatron while complimenting universe galvatron that hardly looks like galvatron.
>>
>>5650618
Except nobody's wrong in this case, you know? Frenzy is both colors and Rumble is both colors, I don't get the fucking loyalists who say it's one color and not the other. And there they are, fucking autismo as shit about which is which and they always fucking argue, at this point I think it's like a joke meme that nobody told these guys isn't something we're supposed to seriously argue over.
>>
>>5650630

I just assume renames like Slingshot to Quickslinger or the Weirdwolf stuff to just be Hasbro having lost the rights to the original name, ala Hotrod.

>>5650210

Doesn't matter. If you want the red one to be Rumble, then let the red one be Rumble. It shouldnt matter to you what anyone else thinks.

But by your continued insistence on something that shouldn't be an issue to any rational person, Im getting the impression this really isn't an issue for you either, and that youre just using this as an excuse to shitpost. That's the only logical reason you're so insistent.

Finally got Thunderhoof and Quillfire in hand. And... talk about mixed feelings.

On the plus side, both are super poseable and expressive. Great paint job too.

But neither feel like they're built to last. Both of them have super tight shoulder joints, which means they can support the weight of those minicons like that one wrecking ball. But both shoulder joints are attached to small pieces of plastic hanging off of the main torso, and I'm just nervous as fuck that they'll break if I move the arm wrong even during transformation. Probably not a problem for careful adults but I can't see these guys last long in a kids' hands, who are obviously the target audience for this line.

Can't complain much since the May Mayhem deal is so good, Megatronus and Fracture are better toys overall though.

Any type of Transformers you're into in particular?

Pricey collector pieces?
Combining robots?
Robots that turn into dragons?
Girl robots?
Just good old robots that turn into cars and planes? If so, any vehicle in particular you're interested in?

Pretty much this. Nothing in particular. Just want to check stuff out and buy something that looks cool.

I-I mean why not.

The head, specifically is the ONE reason I'm going for the takara version.

If at least the face had more paint than the eyes, or just the back of the head to match the purple like on the convention displays, but nooooooo, hasbro dun gouf'd

Well... Generations Arcee is a girl robot that turns into a (pink) car. Not sure if she's the best representation of a typical transformer though. You should be able to find her for around $25, which is a bit pricey for a toy of her size.

It's probably for the best that you're not a big fan of the media. God knows how many arguments this thread has had over show accurate paint jobs.
>>
>>5650878
why even an argument when takara gets them close, if not spot on.

While exceptions exist (legends ultra magnus and UW grand galvatron) they usually scratch the itch
>>
>>5650878
If this is how girl robots look like, I think I'll pass.
So, any essential "typical" transformers you can recommend?
Sorry for having you spoonfeed me so much.
>>
>>5650890
We have a list that someone else here might have, but Generations Springer is pretty solid. Turns into a car AND a helicopter, and not hard to find for a good price.

Not all fembots are bad, but for show accuracy arcee looks great.

And if you're fine with retoolings nightbird here can do you well, same base body but with lavish paint and retooled sections.

Now the BEST way to enjoy good transformers isn't so much on what a "good" toy is, that's subjective.

Which series/comics of the fandom are you enjoying, we can better narrow it down so you can least know who you're playing with rather than give you a masterpiece transformer that you don't know other than being a red lambo

Me either, that's why I got him and the hasbro one

All ghost starscreams are awesome, its being tolerant of the clear plastic that's the hard part

See that's what I thought too... until I got him in hand. He feels like a slightly softer clear plastic. It's not squishy like the tip of his nosecone or his uppermost tailfins, but softer. Like slightly softer than that of the rest of the UW releases. He doesn't feel brittle in the slightest and I don't feel like he's gonna dissolve anytime soon.

Yes, aside from the mainland accent and slang, I know what they are saying.

For comparison, he says G1 figure in term of durability still holds after 30+ years, can't say the same for the new figure. Also, he states he would like to rape whoever complained to Hasbro about how difficult it is transforming the movie 2 toys by 100 time. Last, he says he is feeling transformers as a franchise/brand is dying as it heads into G2 era (implying there is nothing else to release anymore in the classic series.)

The other guy is just saying things are not that bad.

To be fair, they got the figure loose, so we can't really judge whether most of the problems he has is because it might be a reject figure.

Thank for for the translaton and points, this is a big help for those watching and not knowing wtf is going on, I got points against them though.

As others have stated, MIGHT, might be a factory reject, though with the way they handled skylynx and my deluxe groove it wouldn't surprise me
>weak/hollow/pathetic transformation etc
Its a modern age toy, I totally expect these issues though thanks to them I can look elsewhere

I don't condone rape, violence towards idiots, curse words, maybe setting their car on fire, but not rape, jesus christ that's a little too harsh, we're talking about fucking toys here
>Last, he says he is feeling transformers as a franchise/brand is dying as it heads into G2 era

He went on TFW and pissed off some other fansites by giving them preferential treatment and supplying leaks, allegedly. Hasbro told him to stop being a retard and he threw some sites under the bus, alleging that they ratted him out.
Hasbro has tightly controlled designer fan interaction considerably ever since then. They only recently started relaxing a bit.

Tformers was the site that got bitchy. The traffic dived because Aaron played "favorites" with sites
This lead to a figure pointing PR nightmare
A lot of the anal like attitude Hasbro has was born from that.
Before that mess they had a lot of fun and played around the communities and a lot of there Generations focus that came in the future was born from those community talking points.

I know a lot of people are probably glad that that means they don't get a comic with their toy, but honestly, I'm glad for the comics.

The need to sell specific toys and have the ready early enough to pack-in was really rough.

what is in Galvatron's left hand, again? I'm pretty sure its a Titan Master vehicle/robot/gun thing, but which one?

Who is it?

>>5650571
Japan's cartoon switched the names, so the blue one was Frenzy, and the Red one was Rumble.
So them being cartoon accurate would still make them toy consistent.

Seriously? So all this stems from the US G1 cartoon fucking up and Geewunners taking that mistake as an unquestionable fact?
>>
>>5651527
Fuck you.
>>
>>5651538
Well, and the fact that they haven't appeared in American television media since then.
So its not so much G1ers as it is casuals who only follow the TV shows.
The comics have occasionally made the mistake, but corrected it within it's own continuity, and the rest of the world knows frenzy is blue, rumble is red.

So it's a teensy, tiny portion of the fandom, yes.

Yeah I'd say so for the two of them.

I love the Galvatron colors of that mold.

Considering it's over 10 years old, you got them about the same price you would have paid then. Cheaper, actually, if that's the Japanese Shockwave.

>does it matter
to the question of "has any toy version of the frenzy/rumble pair ever been blue and named Rumble" yes, because the answer is no.
so it would be COMPLETELY unprecedented for Takara of all people, to release a blue rumble when no one in japan thinks Rumble is blue.
Because he's always been Red in Japan.

>>5651616
since you clearly missed it
the G1 cartoon screwed up, had Rumble colored like Frenzy, and Frenzy colored like Rumble (despite labelling them correctly in the actual animation), and had them BOTH use Pile Drivers. And sometimes, both were red.
But the comics, toys, and Japanese cartoon had Frenzy blue, and Rumble Red. The comics also made sure Frenzy was the guy that shoots sonic waves, as he kamikazed himself with them.
"I'm Gone... Solid Gone" I believe was his line.

That's only really an issue for the Japanese G1 cartoon, and it doesn't matter because they're called Ranburu and Furenji which are nonsense words to the Nipponese anyway.

i agree.
i also hate it when they made non targetmaster characters into targetmasters.
Honestly, Hasbro just loves to tack on gimmicks to old characters, its perfectly reasonable to hate target masters tooo
>>
>>5651688
As much as I fucking love headmasters and pretty much every mini robot-based gimmick (Powermasters, Targetmasters, Headmasters, Mini-Cons...), I'll play devil's advocate.

Targetmasters can just be ignored by separating the little guy from the big one. If you have to detach the head during transformation, the gimmick is a lot more intrusive.
>>
>>5651688
>>5651681
Targetmasters, while still a stupid gimmick imo, isn't as bad because it's just a gun robot that comes with the character
It's not like the character's head fucking pops off and look weird from the backside for that
>>
>>5651700
then buy the figure you like and buy a shapeways printed head replacement, or general third party head.

You know we're gonna get a fuckton of those.
>>
>>5651714
>then buy the figure and then pay some extra money for a third party item just to get rid of an unwelcome gimmick
Don't you see the issue?

>>5651733
>Even their highest quality printing that's not even available yet sucks
whats it called? looks nice. it can look official with just a bit of polish
>>
>>5651733
actually, I wonder if you could fit an entire head in the chest cavity or not.
>>5651720
No, I really don't. You like the toy but don't like a gimmick on the toy. what do you want? Them not to make the toy at all? I mean, what's your beef?

You guys know what would be sweet? TR Ironhide and Ratchet.
If you don't like the headmaster gimmick then you could just pop the heads off and get G1 toy accuracy.

>>5650729

It's almost like they engineer them to break easily in the hands of their target audience...
>>
>>5651745
This would be gold.
>>
>>5651733
The computron head looks amazing though, the only reason the other head looks like ass is because the idiot at shapeways that put it on the printer oriented it laying down instead of sitting upright.
>>
>>5651595
It is the Japanese Shockwave. The guy just wanted all his stuff gone. He was also selling 3p stuff for as low as $10. I even got an Energon Ultra Magnus for $40, you know the repaint of Overlord with box and the extra 3 minocons but no manuals.
>>
>>5651753
again, what's your point?
Are you just mad that this is headmasters?
are you mad that some character you wanted another toy of comes as a headmaster?
Then buy third party, or buy the old ones.

I really, REALLY don't get what your objection is.

Why should no one have the toys they want just because they're not toys you'd enjoy?

to make the toy without the gimmick
The point here is really simple, I don't know why you're arguing against it like it's rocket science
>>
>>5651740
are you kidding? this actually looks nice

you're not gonna be this up close to the figure anyway, so any artifacts wont be apparent.

>>5651785
>make the toy without the gimmick
They do that
they do that ALL THE TIME
we're finally getting them WITH the gimmick, and you're complaining?

That's what I don't get.

Like there's not already galvatron toys? Or a perfectly good, non-gimmicked scourge, and hotrod, and lazer optimus prime?
They remade TONS of non-combiners into combiners the last time, but that's okay?

Just because you don't like one particular gimmick doesn't mean they should cater to your whim and never make that gimmick.

There are thousands of transformers toys out there. Don't buy the headmasters. Wait patiently, like all of the headmaster fans had to, until they make one YOU want.

I don't disagree with anything you've said but is it not par for the course that a Transformers fan not personally satisfied with the current line would bitch and moan about it endlessly?
>>
>>5651780
Yeah the guy selling at that toyshow had a lot of really good Unicron Trilogy stuff and I just made a decision to buy those 3 just because I really wanted that UM repaint for a long time and I've been seeing Tidalwave a lot in these threads recently.

Ah but Galvatron is vintage dated from before Headmasters, a much more acquired taste.

And I like headmasters as well.
>>
>>5651797
Galvatron doesn't have any good modern figures, Scourge is too small and is his own thing, a decent non-gimmicked (though the targetmaster would be fine) version based on the original doesn't exist, Classics hot rod is a plain shit figure that suffers due to it's age, not much to say about Lazer prime other than nothings come close to the original.

It's literally one of the best base modes i've seen on a transformer in years. Chiefly because it doesn't look like a robot laying down or sitting up at all from any angle.
