So apparently the newest Transmissions rumour is that we are actually getting a Legends Brawn.

Yes there will be a second figure not a titan master

>>5668229
The idea of Brawn just having two bodies for no explained reason is oddly endearing.
One for just his usual stubby yet brutal self, and another that exists partially to fuck with enemy headmasters by hijacking the body

You know what would be badass? A Brawn retool of pic related.
You'd just have to retool the cab section to look more like his G1 vehicle mode.

>>5668229
That has been the rumor since last year when he was supposed to be released alongside legends class Gnaw in the generations line.

>it works because they're both bald...

Alternate universe where a younger Brawn had a normal looking head, until he started doing 100 sit ups, 100 push ups, 100 Squats, and running 10 km everyday, giving him the "bald" look he has now

>>5668346
I hope that isn't it, that looks terrible.

>>5668346
Do we know if Brawn's an new mold or not?

>>5668401
We know nothing.

I wish the hype scout class was still around for the little guys. Legends class is just a bit too tiny.

I'd even settle for small deluxes like Classics Bumblebee. Pack 'em with targetmasters/mini-cons like the thrilling 30 legends and call it a day.

>>5666959
God Quantron is so much more appealing than that Warbotron noise.

>>5668173
Why is A3 a lion again?

>>5668404
Disappointing, we normally learn if it's a new mold, a retool or repaint way before it comes out.

>>5668429
Perhaps we'll know more at Comic Con.

>>5668430
I sure hope so. I've wanted a new Brawn for ages, if he's a Swerve repaint instead of a new mold I'll be crushed.

Not to mention they were adding energon fists.

Looking back, being a Brawn fan is suffering. He's had 2 real figures, a bunch of cancelled figures, an exclusive figure, and a head.

>>5668481
Could be a Squeezeplay fan.
>original G1 figure
>29 years later
>TitanMaster, no body, even "based" Takara isn't doing one

>>5668481
and he's a b-lister: not popular enough to be pushed by hasbro, not obscure enough to be writers' darling.

>>5668480

+1.

So, is Gold Plastic Syndrome fixed? I got that G2 Superion set, but I don't want to keep Slingshot if he's just going to crumble to dust in a few years.

>>5668516

You won't know until a few years pass.

>>5668352
Blue fists? Why would Takara give it blue fists?

So the 07's anniversary is next year. If we get anything for it, chances are we;ll start seeing some news in the next few months(like MP Primal got announced in early June)

Anything you're hoping for? I'm pulling for an MP 2007 Optimus Prime. As much as I've come to dislike the latter movies, the 07 one is still solid, and it really felt like an event.

>>5668540
Not sure why he said that, since Super Ginrai has red arms and fists.

>>5668424
There was some old exclusive called "Alpha Trizer" that was some BW/BM lion. Was meant to invoke A3

>>5668590
Generations Leader Blackout and Deluxe Barricade pls

>>5668540
He may be confusing super Ginrai with his base mode or god mode, those 2 had blue fists.

>>5668590
I want a "classics" Barricade and/or Blackout.

>>5668590

idk the upscaled and tweaked KOs are doing a good job of high end movie stuff. They have a fixed up voyager Hound that integrates add on parts, and fixes the arms/hands among other things in the oven too.

Leader Blackout and Bonecrusher I could get behind though.

>>5668590
Just a leader Blackout, a leader Jetfire that's not garbage and has a screen-accurate transformation, and maybe a redo of the first Megatron.

Also, the only thing keeping the ROTF leader from being a perfect representation of the on-screen Optimus was the electronic gimmick that added too much bulk to the torso and ruined the proportions.

>>5668481

Trailbreaker was pretty much in that tier for years. Any attempt to make a new homage ended up being labeled as some other character or was half-assed altogether (hey look it's a black truck with a yellow stripe!), but now at least there are two decent deluxes from the last few years, and the latest even got the right name finally.

Brawn will get his due! 84 bros will always have a shot.

And then we have the anime, where he had red hands covered in blue armor.

Current Takara is so crazy about keeping it cartoon accurate no matter what, but the blue fists definitely look better so as to break things up more. You can get away with mostly red in animation/art since you can add shading and reflections, but it ends up looking like a sea of bleh on a toy.

14KB, 480x358px

>>5668683
So everyone got it wrong, alright then.

>>5668675
I do not give a fuck, they were blue on the toy. The show used the Hasbro colors anyway so Takara wouldn't gain anything by using "toon"
colors.

>>5668704
But they're all about cartoon accuracy

>>5668704
Except for how slavish they're following cartoon accuracy as of late, now more than ever.

>>5668704
Hasbro is the one homaging the original toys colors, but looks like you'll have to get some tamiya paint ready >>5668326

>>5668707
you didn't read! Masterforce used the 88 Hasbro colors, which Hasbro is doing now! There would be no point in Takara doing the exact same!

Hasbro fans....... you deserve bronies flooding the revised Botcon next year.

>>5668716
>the revised Botcon
w-whats happening with the botcon?
will it affect TFcon?

>>5668716
>There would be no point in Takara doing
The primary "point" of Takara releasing their stuff is to have that stuff available in their market. How they paint it is up to their own preference and budget, but "We must do it differently than Hasbo so the fans can have more options!" isn't their primary goal.

Even if they're based on the same thing, Takara's execution of it will be different anyway.

>>5668716
Takara doesn't necessarily want to do something different from Hasbro in the case of the basic color layout. Hasbro is the one that always talks about doing alternative decos for the sake of variety. Takara wouldn't default to using Japanese toy colors just because the anime colors are similar to Hasbro's. What they'll probably do is just do the Hasbro layout with more paint apps, and maybe different tones of paint.

>>5668719
Botcon died this year, next year will be the first Hascon (no joke, google it), theres no more info than the name, but it should include all the lines under the brand, G.I Joe, MLP, TF, Micronauts, etc.

>>5668740
Welp it's TFcon or bust for me now then.
Better spend all my budget on this TFcon.
At least I'm saving on travel/lodge money.

>>5668740
And apparently, they decided to change the name to HasbroCon.

>>5668753
You won't be seeing anything other than bronies from now on Anon, because the horsefuckers are going to be going to this new all in one shitshow.

>>5668753
Considering Hasbro did Black shadow before Takara did, I don't think that's so. Hasbro probably doesn't divide lines between Takara and Hasbro stuff like fans do, because its almost all fair game to them.

>>5668755
>horsefuckers
>cybertrons
I thought those two fanbases have some big overlaps

>>5668751

Takara elitists, everyone.

I'm buying neither, I don't care for PM Optimus/Ginrai.

Keep being stuck up though.

I feel like a lot of RiD kids have this knee-jerk reaction to beg for new toys because they see G1 and BW kids do so. In their mind, getting new toys equates to hasbro/Takara caring about them. That said, Ruination/Baldigus could use a CW update, and it seems Takara is doing that.

Otherwise, no, they don't really need new figures. Is aw someone wanting a new riD Optimus in the 3P thread, which is so weird to me. that toy is about perfect as is.

>>5668812
>Black Skids, Different head Prowl, and funny colors Arcee
Huh?

>>5668812
Where are they?

>>5668816
the black Skids is a Botcon exclusive named Burn Out, based on a Diaclone release. Prowl's toy was used to make an Autotrooper and Arcee is Roulette from Botcon 2003 which was a Sideburn repaint.

>>5668481
>being a Brawn fan is suffering
must be, seeing as how you're s fan of the least cool looking transformer in existence

>>5668516
The most recent examples are Protoform Starscream (2007) and Universe Repugnus (2008). those guys are starting to break now

So in about 3-4 years, hit up the general and give us an update, anon

>>5668824
Well, at least he doesn't have the swirls that I keep hearing about.

What was that spray people started using a few years back, the one that supposedly "cured".

>>5668829
That's like, your opinion.

>>5668657
Which version is this anyway?

I bought my version as a kid when it was new in the states in Quincy Florida Walmart and mine had red fists without the slider bits.

>>5668836
that's the original japanese one, they gave it sildey fists

the reissues come with slidey fists and blue eyes

>>5668838
Dayum.

The only Japanese TF's I had as a kid were the ones Hasbro so graciously decided to bring over like this so I had to make do back then.

It's one of my favorite Optimus Prime toys when I was younger. I kinda want the reissue.

>>5668829

>what is Battletrap?

>>5668838
>>5668852

Other changes of the japanese version are the front of the cab being made of die-cast, translucent blue windows and a better painted grill.

>>5668393
But is he in stores now?

>>5668812
What's the one on the far left with the rad-looking headsculpt?

Especially with the "reusing old Botcon ideas" kick they've been on lately.

>>5668943
>>5668945

The characters already got overshadowed in the old days because they where original characters and people just wanted new toys of old characters who didn't have toys. I think they looked cool, but I wonder how much of a following they have.

>tfw you try nodding a figure and end up completely fucking it up instead
Sigh

>>5668931

I'd wager it is for most people as well. Still, theres enough space there for a little fun with some figures.

>>5668941

Looks good.

Anyone know what type of gold paint G2 Superion uses for the antenna?

When is the upcoming Hasbro Galvatron coming out? All I've seen was 2016.

Also, will we see a proper scale Optimus to go with the leader line?

>>5668994
Goldy Gold latex acrylic enamel you can get it at your local Ace Hardware in the automotive section.

>>5669007
What do mean by proper scale?

>>5669031

Just so he's the same height as the Megatron.

>>5669034
Well there's the leader class powermaster Prime, who isn't a Powermaster but is instead a headmaster.

>>5669010
Thanks. The damn thing had chipping right out of the box.

>>5669034
They already made them in 2006. Leader size is too big for Prime and Megatron.

>>5669007
Galvatron is wave 1, so probably late May or June. PM Prime's also in wave one, but I recommend waiting for the voyager Optimus, and voyager Megatron being released next year.

>>5669063
I know, I realized right after posting. Can't take it back now.

>>5669056
>>5669058
Still think it's better than the Leader Megatron. He still suffers from skinny leg syndrome, but at least the rst of his proportions are nice.

>>5669058
What's the deal with "Optional head"? Will he come with two, or a running change/variant? Or do we just not know yet and this was a design showing two possible heads and we'll probably end up with just one.

I do hope for the Star Convoy head if that's the case because otherwise he's a complete pass

>>5669073
Methinks it's the one head, but you can change it between the two.

>>5669073
It could mean one of two things:

-Comes with two (unlikely)
-It's like the CW Optimus, getting two releases and each will have a different head (likely, let's hope the Star Convoy head is the first one we get).

Hasbro probably meant it for some other character, maybe Lio Prime, and A3 was probably just something they yanked out of their ass to help pay off the tooling.

Why do they pre-tool characters only to re-release a retooled version that better suits the mold?

Is it a fan theory or do they honestly think bulkimus prime sells better than motor master considering the combiners and their history?

Let alone other more clear winners such as sentinel prime to astrotrain

I've never been sure how they let that happened except that they had a lot of respect for the designer. It was such an odd move that set a tone for the MP line that they didn't end up following through with. Always made me think MP was going to be like Alternators but with other vehicles.

>>5669438

>>5669533

Surely they are just reskinning the old TFP show models, right? I can't imagine them making new assets just for cameos. If they've figured out how to do that, then it'll be great because there'll be potential for the return of more TFP characters.

>>5669542

>>5669378

Holy shit this is awesome. For some reason I love Crystal Widow.

>>5669641
I had this motherfucker. My first Transformers toys were Beast Wars, so it blew my mind that the Maximals would have goddamn vehicles to ride around in.

Also I used to stick Rattrap and Armordillo on top of Optimal Optimus and whiz him around so I guess I was anticipating it

>>5669481
Adding onto what previous replyer said, he also had a hand in designing G1 Starscream and Optimus Prime.

Seems Takara employed a whole host of freelancers during the Diaclone days.

>>5669654
Well Dinobot used transmetal rattrap as a vehicle once.

>>5669643
There's some new info floating around that if TF:Prime hadn't been cancelled it would have been Maximals VS Predacons a la Beast Wars in a 'Wild West frontier' style New Cybertron

I'm guessing some of the designs were recycled from very early stages of that concept and then they just made more, and more ridiculous 'Cons for RiD (like Clampdown)

>>5669659
So both TFA and Prime were canned before they could get in to the Beast era stuff. That's a bummer. Though I'm really digging what they're doing for deceptions. It makes the Beast era critics happy because they still have vehicle modes while making the Beast era fans happy that there's some kind of animal styling.

>>5669660
Oh god I had a huge flashback to when I was 12 I had an original character do not steal for an RP that was a wolf that transformed into a car. I imagined it as Noble from Beast Machine's wolf mode with Sideburn's car mode.

Hasbro stole my fucking idea.

Back in early TF:Prime, Jose Lopez already tried to give his designs bestial elements. The most obvious is Starscream's snake-faced chest.

>>5669668
Oh shit. Can't unsee.

>>5669668
>The most obvious is Starscream's snake-faced chest.

Wouldn't Arachnid be the most obvious example? Then for later seasons there's that lion guy who never actually appeared in the show which was always suspicious.

I'm only into collecting Beast Wars stuff mostly out of nostalgia and also because I buy too much shit as it is. It pains me to hear that we almost went into Beast Wars stuff.

>>5669680
Yeah but she was obvious in every aspect. Not just a "here's animal features that we won't make the focus" like arachnid.

>>5669680
Did you watch the Rise of the Predacons episode of TFA? Major cock tease.

Some of the most run times I had as a kid was having all the Maximals ride on Optimal Optimus' tank mode and try to attack the Predacon base( a media cabinet).

>>5669688
Prime had some potential.

I'm liking RID, but I also knew going in that it was more kid friendly. I like the 2d animation mixed in with 3d. Its refreshing because every cartoon now seems to be either cgi or flash.

Though I did own quite a few of the warriors before watching the show, it goes make me ache for more deceptions. And I wish Steeljaw was a better figure because he's pretty cool in the show so far.

That and I preferred the personality that thunderhoofs design made me think it was as compared to what it actually is.

Done watching RID15 season 2...and wow, they actually address the conflict in leadership between Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. BB is pretty much Rodimus at this point, just that he doesn't need to give back his leader role to a revived Optimus Prime.

Old Ratchet's guest appearance is great too and helps fill in the time gap between TFP and RID a teeny bit.

because the producers of Energon might have been clinically insane.

>>5669831
Quillfire is better, but his should joints may have issues and start stressing. You can shave plastic but it's such a small amount that even a fraction off and you have arms that pop off.

Fracture is cool but at the same time boring if that makes sense.

>>5670258
Ironhide (even though he's a straight retool of Cybertronian Ratchet)

>>5670269
I sure hope so, just to watch the manchildren get triggered like KiraKira.

>>5670269
Headmaster Mahakyaku and Battle Unicorn which have the partners based on them.

Beast Hunters Soundwave looks like a blue macaw

What's that?

>>5670300
Kamen Rider Mach's foot

>>5670258
Ironhide, cybertron ratchet, rodimus, prowl, swoop, the jet twins, jazz, shockwave, and ultra magnus from what I remember.

Lockdown is hardly one of the good ones.

>>5670325
Oh and leader megs

>>5670260
So, I've never seen it discussed,but what will FunPub actually do now? Did they have any business model at all outside of running the official TF/GIJoe conventions?

>>5670343
I hear Pete Sinclair has a gig lined at a Fort Worth Five Guys.

>>5670325
Whenever I hear people talk about Lockdown, they either seem to love or hate him. Dunno why.

How do I fix his shoulder /toy/?

>>5670363
His main problem are the hands. The movie version is way better.

>>5669486
Really? I fucking love him. easily one of my favorite childhood toys.

>>5669486
>>5670382
Gotta agree, he was great, also helped bridge the gap between TF and Battle Beasts imho.

>>5670370
Hot water on the part? I dunno if that's bent or what.

>bwtf pic
Okay then

>>5670407
No. The shoulders suck.

>>5670410
So the gun-hand is untabbing them, then? Is there a way to take the gun off, even undoing screws, etc if needed?

>>5670325
How much better is Swoop compared to Snarl? Snarl is probably the worst Animated mold I own, Bee being a close runner up.

>>5670422
Youd missing half an arm now.

Also swoop is a million times better than snarl. So worth it.

>>5670431
Good. Snarl was awful.

I daresay the worst of Animated but I don't own enough from that line to say so.

>>5670445
The worst is starscream.

>>5670472
Why is he bad?

>>5670481
Crap articulation, parts fly off, bicep curl arms, shit weapons, bad transformation, etc.

Snarl is better than him.

>>5670507
>bicep curl arms
Fuck, I'm already triggered by him

>>5670422
>So the gun-hand is untabbing them
That's the issue, that mold's gun arm doesn't tab in at ALL!

>>5670523
Strange, I never had problems with my Skywarp.
