Yes. Reformatted assaulter. Not!Broadside

It hasn't been revealed yet to anyone, no matter what that idiot last thread said.

>>5662621

please respond

>>5662597
I don't know if it was made clear in the last thread, but what size is this? MP scale, Legends scale or something else?

>>5662682

Generation Toy Jazz. There isn't really more info they've just shown off some prototypes. Their figures are sold at all the usual places for 3rd party TFs, they're in the middle of finishing up a set of Constructicons w/ a Megatron that Devastator can hold as a gun, and then it seems like Jazz will probably be next after that.

>>5662686

It has MP-ish hands, so it's definitely not Legends and I would assume it's roughly sized to go with the MP cars.

MMC's doing a Broadside too? Fuuuuuuck.

>>5662675

Tarn is the spehshul snowflake double-Nazi Megatron panty sniffer from IDW. Leads the baddest McMeaninest evilbad edgemaster squad ever assembled that is foreverial better than all the other big bads. He ran a literal Aushwitz (I can't spell that shit right), and is currently having a psychotic meltdown that his buttloving idol Megatron has changed his ways, and recently shot him for it.

tl;dr Extremely overly built up comic book villain that needs to fuck off and die already because his only schtick is that he is an edgelord of the highest calibur.

Waiting on Overlord like the others.
Really hope he'll be under $200.

>>5662575
>The Gen. Sandstorm Springer remold is excellent already.
Doesn't really look a thing like Sandstorm though.

>>5662718
Orange pansy triple changer?

>>5662696
Doesn't look Geewun enough to fit in with the MP cars, though. In fact, it reminds me a lotmore of Alternators Meister than G1 Jazz.

>>5662706
He's not wrong, though.

>>5662715
>Someone was posting your little spiel nearly word for word then sometime back.

It actually makes me happy other people think the same way then. At least the current story arc might end with his death and then we might get some new villains for a while.

>>5662701
Like others I'm waiting on Overlord and Tarn. But depending on my finances, I may get Strika, since I've always liked the Vehicon designs and it's nice to see Beast Machines get some 3P love for a change.

>>5662723
>Doesn't look Geewun enough

It looks like they took the original toy and enhanced it. Just because it doens't look like Sunbow's shitty simplified animation model is no reason to be mad about it. Seriously, why even copy the Sunbow shit? They were the worst animation production house of the 80s. I'm surprised anything that copies it didn't mimic animation errors.

>>5662734
>It looks like they took the original toy and enhanced it.
Sandstorm turned into a dune buggy and a helicopter, not an armored car and a VTOL aircraft.

He was talking about the Jazz.

>He's not wrong, though.
I didn't say he was, just was cringy.

>>5662726
I know everyone wants him dead but really I don't think he'll die. It'd be too easy, he's such an over the top asshole I can see him getting spared for use down the road. Or he might just get curbstomped by Overlord and that'll be it, who knows at this point.

>>5662723

I didn't mean to say that it fits in stylistically, just that it looks like it's probably sized the same as them.

>>5662734

He wasn't even complaining, he was just talking about how it doesn't look like it's in the same style as the MP cars because someone theorized that it's the same size as them. And it definiely doesn't look like it's in the same style because MPs have gotten super G1 and this is a little more/differently detailed than that with different aesthetics to the sculpting.

>>5662699
I think they were referring to Fansproject's Assaulter. I don't recall MMC ever announcing that they were doing a Broadside, and FP's came out like, 3-4 years ago maybe?

So, uh... am I the only that wants MakeToys new not-Scorponok, Pandinus?

>>5662701
That's a hard one. I have no real attachment to either character but the mold does seem to fit Roadbuster better, tough the hand guards seem out of place on him. I really like Strika's head and 6-wheeled altmode, so I think I'm leaning that way.

>>5662873

>400 burgers

I dunno anon. You could buy 3-4 really top of the line TF's with that dosh and I think the value would stretch further.

I would never use the city mode and the scorpion mode is just robot mode flopped down. It feels like you're paying for size rather than intricacy desu.

>>5662686
Probably the size of an MP car which sizes up with their other IDW stunticons coming out. It has a lot of the MP gimmicks like the spring pegs and the hands. It's definitely not styled for the likes of Takara's MPs but that never stops retards arguing about where they put their expensive toys.

>>5662701

I like how the bottom calf is rotated around for Roadbuster so the wheels aren't showing, where as Strika has two wheels to make 6 total on the vehicle and it is flipped to be forward showing. Clever way to break it up, but you can have it either way on either mold thanks to how the foot piece and the heel piece can double for a foot piece or a heel piece. Not sure which way I like it more. It's cleaner to have them behind, but it is unique look not too many bots have and evokes Strika's wheel feet.

If I had to pick one I think I would go with Strika for the guns and the 6 wheels on the vehicle/2 wheel feet look. The colors are nicer than Roadbuster's standard fare of shit-brown, puke orange, and swamp-green diarrhea. Plus the knuckle guards seem to fit.

>>5662701

They're both kinda meh honestly but purple robots win every time for me.

>>5662953
Roadbuster who has a few good 3rd party figures a good enough hasbo voyager vs purple robot? Damn right purple robot wins.

>>5662631
Make Toys' Manga Mech series is pretty top notch too.

>>5662701
Strika, I need my wife.

>>5662923
Wasn't that by HeroHero Tom?

Did perfect effect ever make an upgrade kit for Star Saber? Also I wonder if we'll see a 3rd party Victory Leo for him at some point

>>5663291
I never understood those combinations which end up being a backpack and a pair of boots (see also Galaxy Convoy, some braves, and, in a sense, Dancouga)
Wouldn't an armor up like Godbomber+Super Ginrai make more sense?

honestly, no? the bare minimum Brave upgrade (even for non-lead robots) is always shoes, a backpack, and chest armor

>>5663748
It is, just at a different angle

>>5663752
no, that is a dedicated elbow joint. The legs make up the front of the fish, arms are the back legs tucked up on the shoulders. That pink bit right below the elbow bend is the pelvis.

>>5663725
Oh yeah, can't count. Or was thinking 4 alt modes. Disregard me.

>>5663761
Itse juat the bot's torso joint. It won't be nearly as articulated as the usual thigh/arm thing.

>>5664022
well said. I prefer the thigh arm set up cause it has more articulation. Combiner wars does it well, because if you dont like how the thigh arms look, you can usually retract the arms to hide the thighs

>>5665034
Alright, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on knowing who he really is. I'll only ask one question - he is an existing character in IDW, right? He's not just some brand new never-before-seen dude, is he?

>>5665034

I'll bite because I'm bored and an insomniac.

Is he someone that existed in the original G1 series, and if so, what season did they first appear in?

>>5665051
He IS an established character, yes, one that has had screen time and dialogue.

I can try to do a few more.

>>5665056
They appear in season 1

>>5665057
>>5665065
Did Bumblebee get shit out in the past from that singularity and raised to become Tarn?

>>5665074
No. And try not to be too specific.

>>5665065

Retard theory time just so we can all laugh: Prowl isn't actually Prowl, it's some sort of MGS-style mind clone and the real Prowl is Tarn.

This will further continue the long running joke that Prowl is the worst person in existence, and also be somewhat funny since Prowl's face looks a lot like the Autobot symbol, so he wears a Decepticon symbol over his real face as a result because he's so ashamed of that fact.

If this dumb shit idea turns out to be true, you better confirm it.

>>5665077
I was joking anyway.
Was he actually an Autobot Megatron "corrupted" or did corrupted just mean Megatron radicalized a guy, not necessarily that he made him swap sides?

>>5665082
kek

>>5665082
No, it's not Prowl. And stop asking if it's 'named character'. Trying my best not to just GIVE it away.

Tarn, kaon, anyone else named after a city that is not metroplex or fort max, are comics characters, especially if they are being made as a third party toy and NOT a hasbro option.

>>5664912
"You ain't getting news for at least a year".
One of the very few 3P companies you should trust your money with.

>>5665093

Using the G1 scale chart as a reference, were they a extra large sized character (Jetfire), large (Megs/Optimus), medium-ish (Ironhide/Ratchet), or smaller (Hound/Bumblebee) sized?

>>5665097

But comic characters get toys too Anon. Official and 3P ones.

>>5665099
Would have to say medium.

>>5665093
Nothing has been confirmed, yet. Though there is a lot of heavy evidence a d implications.

>>5665099
Yeah, but when have any of the DJD, or overlord since he got his fame, third party stuff, sure, they do it, but official? Pretty much only the geewun stuff since titanium fallen.

>>5665107
The generations springer is based on his comic design, if that counts. Ane windblade.

>>5665107

Overlord seems to be getting a new official, Jhiaxus had an official, CW UM comes with Minimus Ambus...

>>5665110
Windblade was fan chosen, comic after toy, >>5665112
Jiaxus had an iconic look, they shoehorned in a new look to sell his toy, and that scrap of white plastic doesn't count because minimus is not that big or turn into anything useful.

>>5665114

Whirl, Roadbuster, Sandstorm?

>>5665110
There's a bunch of comic-based toys in Generations and such. Stealth Bomber Megatron was in the Costa series a few years before the toy.

Also, Universe Drift.

>>5665117
Sandstorm was shoehorned in as a prisoner in half a panel, and toy came first, not made to emulate an iconic look from a comic.whirl, is a hybrid of geewun with comic ideas, so, no.

Rouadbuster, eh, he might count I guess, more than springer at least, springer has differing details than the toy/current design.

>>5665077
Is he important to one specific character, so much so that it might have saved his life?

Is whoever Tarn is, related to one other character in any way so much so, that it may have saved that other character's life?

I'm trying to be vague so you might actually give us something usable since I really don't believe you. I don't see how anyone outside Roberts and the artist that drew Tarn and the editor know who he is; IDW wouldn't risk it or their sales.

>>5665135
Does he come with both hands? Also which figure comes with the big harpoon/stick-thing?

>>5665139
You're asking if they spared someone because they knew the person on a personal level?

>>5665147
Far as I can tell, Guyhawk comes with both hands and Drillhorn comes with the combiner gun.
Makes Killbison and Leozack seem kind of unworthy of their pricepoint considering that they came with no extras, but whatever, not like anyone's buying one member. Assuming the spear/nunchaku thing comes with both of them, one half each. Was obviously a late addition considering it never appeared in any prior promo images.

i know right? my favorite part was Scrapper. Since he was already building before calling Blitzwing, I feel like it only slowly dawned on him how dumb Blitzwing's plan really was, which i found amusing. Blitzwing's reaction is pretty great too

You know, I hate to ask this, but does this mean I can hope for an actual good 3P God Fire Convoy/Omega Prime?

The original is kinda ugly and every version HasTak has given us beyond that has been a repaint. It's like the only Prime that hasn't gotten 5000 different versions unless you want to count Ginrai, who this Prime is almost certainly a reference to.

In all seriousness though I've never been so hyped for a 3rd party toy. Looks beyond perfect and the only thing I'm worried about the tiniest bit is the hands being too fragile, but who gives a fuck. Look at those DSLs. Any better shots of the Wreckers head with the missing eye?

>>5666254
>The original is kinda ugly

In what way? It looks pretty much show accurate, and as far as paint and articulation goes it's pretty much on par with most modern toys. As far as official TFs go, it's much better tan anything we get outside MPs today. I don't think anyone else is really asking for an update.

Its basically in lateral update territory, where any update may have some improvements but might also do some things worse.

> Ginrai, who this Prime is almost certainly a reference to.

I don't see it, besides the Optimus Prime homage in regular mode.

>>5666029
That's pretty cool, I've always been interested in this guy but apparently the first release was total shit.

>>5666291
In the normal mode, it's very broad in the chest, and the lower legs look way too busy because of how small they are. That photo also makes it look like it has no feet.
Also, that truck mode I'd be alright with taking some liberties on. Its whole back half being just a platform for the ladder instead of a complete fire engine sours me, and it could use a bit more paint or something to break up the solidness of the red.
I do like the armored up mode.

And do keep in mind that I only showed half of the set. The other half, God Magnus, has stupidly large legs and a bunch of partsforming (and IIRC not much articulation because of that). The grey wings are also terrible.

I mean I think it has basically just the greebles he was drawn with in the comic. These Spark Toys sculpts are pretty damn faithful. And so I think it's just the difference between Don Figueroa's comic art which isn't really overly detailed, just has a lot more details than the cartoon art style because in comics you only have to draw stills so the level of detail that's reasonable to keep on model is higher and like Cassy Sark parallel lines all over everything and other kinds of 3rd party greeble styles that I don't think anyone would ever conceive of if it was something they would have to hand-draw multiple times lol.

That Overlord is the correct comic size next to the MP Magnus, which is what they were going for I believe.

>>5667146
It would've actually made sense to scale with the IDW inspired Leader.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvLCsc323do

His shoulder-pads sit kind of high and make his arms look a bit long.

>>5667153
Maybe they're considering making other IDW scaled Leaders and eventually a Magnus.

>>5667146
Overlord is only that large in Last Stand of the Wreckers and only when he's fighting Autobots, where his size is extremely exaggerated. In MTMTE, he's about a head or two taller than guys like Shockwave, Starscream, Soundwave, Megatron and Tarn.

>>5667108

>>5667166
>Megatron
That Overlord is the correct comic size next to the MP Megatron, which is what they were going for I believe.

It's been in the works for a few years before we knew Magnus was a thing though. He scales pretty well with their DJD. In the last issue Tarn is barely up to his chest while Overlord is hunched over. Also with the shoulder pads up it looks like his arms are way too long in pic related.

No combined super jet mode though. Wish they could have integrated an ab crunch and have shoulder pads not look so annoying. Black on the arms is for the jet mode, but I would have rather they kept it the white color instead.

>>5667189
And there's plenty of flashback issues that shows him standing around all those guys, and he's not towering over them like a colossus. His size is exaggerated for dramatic effect when fighting the Autobots in Last Stand. He's definitely a big guy. But he's not this giant everyone thinks he is. Even in their own line Overlord is much taller than he needs to be over Tarn.

>>5667210
His head actually reaches all the way up to his chest in a standing position. So Overlord's a full head over him, probably a bit more. And Megatron is a bit taller than Tarn. I'd say with Magnus being as big as he is compared to Megatron, and Overlord being as tall as he is compared to Megatron, they're about the same size. Not the difference presented here >>5667104, not even close.

Now of course comics are comics, artists draw things differently (even Roche drawing Overlord in LSotW is inconsistent) but come on. None of these examples shows Overlord towering over other characters the way he does against Springer and Impactor. Translated to toy for, Carniflex is even taller than a CW combiner. That's way too much man. This thing looks amazing but I wish it fit in better. I'll have to go with Hasbro's rumored Leader figure.

I meant to include a shot of Overlord and Magnus/Max fighting but forgot. Though all three are about the same size class, but it's no use cobbling together scenes from different comics, by different artists in different times in IDW's publishing to render side by side comparisons. The latest MTMTE issues do a fair job of that by itself though.

i still like V1 Acoustic Wave. He doesnt seem like a better toy than the MP, but he's slightly more show accurate. the head especially, as its more expressionless like in the show, while the MP looks slightly angry, which is uncharacteristic
I feel that if MP Soundwave was designed in the post-hasui MP era, he'd look like Acoustic Wave

>>5668757
He's had a bad history of 3P attempts, and with the MP I don't think a lot of people would jump to get another G1 style figure of him. And that period of 2005-2011 or so of Reedun soundwaves in other lines might've turned people off getting a Classics style one..

I want a PE Soundwave that can use all the not-cassettes they've made

>>5668930

I want a soundwave that can use all his cassettes like extra weapons and armor sort of like how Ironfactory did it.

Hell I wouldn't mind a donutsteel combiner where Soundwave formed some part of the gestalt but his cassettes became the combiner hands/feet, and maybe head.

That sounds like it would be cool as fuck. Theres certainly enough tape minions from both Soundwave and Blaster to both do it.

Friendly reminder that 60 dollars is one third of a Carnifex.

I was more commenting that the thought that piece of shit could ever be worth $60 is laughable at best.

Pic related to Carnifex though. Barring any unforseen issues, it's probably going to be amazing.

KFC Blaster always comes with two guns. They're integrated into the altmode in a bit of an odd way; without both guns, it doesn't hold together.

Yeah, I'm sure they won't do it again under another name like they already did two or three times.

Yeah its mind boggling. They were ready to crucify the Kronos guy and it wasn't nowhere near the turd this thing is.

>>5669681
When do these come out?

>>5669681
Drift and Hot Rod?

>>5669723

Drift and Deadlock

>>5669006
>Great googly moogly
That show was awful why did I watch it

>>5669712

I think they're most likely farther down the IF pipeline. Probably the order of their upcoming releases will be something like

Dinobots
Optimus/Ginrai
Scorponok
Arcee
Deadlock/Drift
Black Shadow

Or possibly with the last two reversed.

Grimlock is the only one we've seen painted which is why Dinobots are probably first. Optimus we've seen cast in full color but not painted so he's probably next after that. Scorponok is the only other one whose preorders have gone up so he's probably next after that. And among the others that are left after those Arcee has been floating around the longest so she's probably first.

>>5669515
Of course they did. The 3p world is pretty small, there are like 10 different companies each using 15 different names. It's been a long while since a real new one appeared.

>>5669811
yeah that's obvious, but im asking about Omnigonix specifically, what were they called before?

Well, shit. I think I found a defect in my Leodux. The parts you're supposed to put into the lion mode chest don't fit in. Theres a bar of plastic in the way, on the inside of his chest.

They were using a KFC factory it was a shitstorm when it was brought up on tfw a while back.

>>5669006
That video was as bad as the toy.

>>5670023
Oh I remember that, shitstorm is exactly how I'd describe it.

>>5669899

After more fiddling, yeah, they just won't fit in. Not that it matters that much, you can't really see there with how he normally stands, and the storage place for those parts most people seem to use is Talon's wings.

Still bums me out a bit. I'm debating returning him, but honestly, it's such a small thing and the parts are usually being used as guns on another figure's or as the parts for the sword.

>>5669840
>>5669845
I think that guy was asking if they'll release it in both Drift and Deadlock colors? Maybe with different accessories?

That's just an assembly error. Unscrew the torso and flip that bar and it'll work just fine. The divot to allow those parts to fold all the way up is on the underside, it got installed upside down.
