>>5692284
DX9 3P legends scale. Will cost as much or more than getting LG-10 from BBTS or eBay.

10/10, I chuckled.

CW UM and YOTM Primal are both on sale on Amazon for the next 40ish minutes.

>>5692294
Groove's alright, but not $25+ good or even really $20 good when you could buy stuff like Classics Mirage or Deluxe Warpath instead. But I think the main reason I like Groove is not cuz "muh g1" but mainly because he's a unique mold right now in the midst of a sea of repaints and retools in CW.

Granted, he'll become Afterburner later, but he's still a fully original, non-redecoed mold right now.

>>5692300
Good to know for anyone who wants him. Good looking out.

Personally I am not a fan of that mold.

I just bought Grand Galvatron. I hope Takara's Sky Reign is as bizarre.

>>5692285
That's only because it comes with Kup.

so I took some of the arm pieces off of the G1 and switched them with the G2 to give the G2 some colour and I really like the effect, but now I'm not sure what to do with the G1 and I was thinking it'd be fun to paint it

Any ideas for some fun literally who's to customize him into?

>>5692344
Ah, I read it as "much more" rather than "as much or more" - That's fair.

hopefully soon, so glad he showed up in the comics recently, and extra glad Clawjaw was there, loved that toy as a kid

>>5692354

I wonder if they would make him compatible with the recent Leader Megatron.

>>5692354
I don't really like most of the modern IDW comics, too pretentious, but this series was a ton of fun(even if they killed off Polar Claw).

>>5692359
i really doubt it, that'd be awesome though, at best maybe he could come with some kibble that could be put on megs, don't own that mold so not sure how it might work

>>5692362
>but this series was a ton of fun
how was it, as a sequel to Last Stand?

>>5692348
Darkwing or Dreadwing maybe?

>>5692365

I'm not sure it would either.

Looking at my G1 Megatron of that mold though, they could have easily left the front and back panels off the Armada repaint and made him an H tank.

How hard are Hasbrofags going to packpedal if Blast Off gets a US release?

>>5692390
i'll buy him, tht doesn't mean that I really like him. I still think the figure does not look that good in either mode, but a shuttle blast off intrigues me

>>5692390

It'll never happen. Some toddler 26 year old will choke on a shard from a broken Groove which will justify why we can't get a shuttle.

>>5692390
I know I won't get him except to scalp. He looks like shit in both modes.

>>5692390
Yeah... no. I want groove for my defensor, but I genuinely prefer the jet blast off and could care less if it got a release. I'd only buy one or 10 to scalp them the next day.

>>5692390
not one of those hurr durr hasbro vs takara ppl

I really want to like UW Blastoff but the colours are too weird, I'd love it if he got a CW release in the nice chocolate we got here, but then I also want the modified Vortex so I'm stuck on which version to get

I still enjoy Samurai Megatron, though I know he's not a favorite of most people.

The stupid sword is bendy as hell though, which blows.

>>5692390
It'll be exactly like Groove.

>>5692390
I'll buy it for the hell of it. Doesn't look like a superb mold, but if I don't have to pay a premium for it, I'll check it out if it's regular deluxe price. Not buying the whole UW Bruticus set as most of the decos (including blast off's) are kinda weak except for stand alone onslaught and based vortex.

Also so I can use all four "replacement" members on Galvatronus for a full combiner, and give all the g1 online exclusive guys to their respective gestalts.

speaking of good ol tank megs

3rd party knock off version of this mold in voyager size with working arms and a better canon when? I would gladly ditch the rotating turret for a good version of this toy, it's so nearly perfect imo but the size is too big and the arms are too dumb

>>5692408
>>5692405
I don't own tons of movie stuff (mainly just things that fit into classics like bludgeon, terradive, tomahawk, sea spray, hell even a movie1 barricade) so i dunno how phenomenal Bludgeon's transformation is by bayformer standards, but I really enjoy it. I always forget how to do it after a few months of having him sit on my shelf, but it's always pretty fun rediscovering how to transform him again.

warpath...? Brawl? Or are you talking strictly megatron? In that case there are the RotF Megatron Tanks... but they weren't anywhere near a realistic tank.

>>5692269
Why did you use a 3rd party knockoff for the regular tfg you idiot.

>>5692422

Nah, just Megatrons. I don't have the RotF tank. I want to say I had a chance to get one on clearance but I missed it. Maybe it was just the Starscream on clearance, I have a couple of the Leader SS that I found for $5 each once at a K-Mart.

It's one of the best finds I've ever gotten. It almost had to be a mis-entered item, though ti was a couple of years after RotF I think.

>>5692433
Nice. Closest find I've had to that was Leader Jetfire for like $25 shipped online. I had some coupon or something on the Kmart site.

>>5692390
If we were still under the 20 dollar mark I'd get it only to test if it can be turned into a stealth bomber. Doesn't sound worth it desu when my country gets these shits for like 30 dollars.
I'll be trading/selling the one I'll get with the UW set anyways but first I have to duplicate the head.

How many toys of the "Big Four" (Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, Optimus ) do you own?

You can count BW versions too if you want.

Backpedal? I was all for getting a US release Blastoff shuttle when he was first announced

So Groove sold out everywhere? There's nowhere to get him without secondary market prices?

At least till August.

>>5692514
How do you know until August?

>>5692390
I'm sure many people will buy it, but it wouldn't be quite like Groove for a few reasons.

1. Blast-off wasn't replaced by another bot like Groove was
2. Many people would, for a good reason, prefer a jet on a military team over a space shuttle
3. A bike has way more play value than a space shuttle. You can make other bots ride the bike, but you can't exactly fit anything inside the shuttle

I try to avoid owning multiples as much as possible. For example I got the Generations Dreadwing and Jhiaxus instead of Megatron/Starscream.

WFC Megs is really a must own though. Even as a deluxe it probably towers over all your other deluxe cons.

There's a decent chance more listings will pop up tomorrow. Last Mayhem had almost every retailer receive the exclusives like Walmart, Target, TRU, etc.

Since they haven't listed, several prominent stores like TFSourse and Ages 3+up haven't either, and my records show I ordered Quicksinger and Breakneck on the 25th of May last year, I'm hopeful that I can get Groovy and give scalpers the finger.

So BBTS has more Groove's in stock on Late May Pre-order apparently. Either way $30 isn't tooooo baaaad of a safety net price for one I suppose. You can always cancel if you get one cheaper.

>>5692531
because Entertainment Earth, Amazon, BBTS and others have preorders up that late.

>>5692614
Entertainment Earth changed there pre-order date to be in October. Wew lad.

>>5692613
>Either way $30 isn't tooooo baaaad
It's a normal deluxe. Stop.

>>5692632
>Deluxe $17.99
>Shipping $5-7
>Total $23-25

BBTS has it for 25 + 5 shipping

It's really not that bad. Better than $40+ shipping

>>5692649
Yeah, but during May Mayhem you could get wave 5/6 limbs for like $13 each shipped.

>>5692657
and Groove was never available on HTS for May Mayhem so it's not like you could have got him for that anyways.

>>5692661
I picked him up from ScrambleCore, along with a Generation deluxe which was $7. The shipping was $9. So it ended up being 2 deluxes for about $15 each.

I have no clue when they'll actually ship out my order though as I've never ordered from them before. But I did the transaction through paypal so I think my investment is safe.

>>5692667
Wait. Checked the receipt again. It averaged out to $17 each deluxe.

They don't have a lot of toys in stock though so it's up to chance whether you'll actually spot something you want to add to the order.

>>5692533
It would be exactly the same. Probably even crazier since the combaticons are way more popular than the protectobots.

>2. Many people would, for a good reason, prefer a jet on a military team over a space shuttle

Considering we're talking about giant sentient robots created by a cosmic entity that have been slapping the bejeezus outta each other for four million straight years, a military space shuttle really shouldn't be a place where credibility breaks down

>Does anyone else want more armada figures, but because of the game? cause that's where my love of the designs comes from.

If they have articulation in the knees, elbows, arms and legs then yes.

them all being bricks is the reason so many fans hated the line especially coming after BW and RID.

Cybertron basic level articulations is good enough for me.

>>5693113
She still looks better than the Warrior figure. Either with the Takara or with a little paint touch-up she'll be great

I considered getting her, but she's less articulated.

It seems like a worthy tradeoff for a transformation closer to the Legion figure and a less dire backpack, but each to their own.

I'm fine with most of hasbro cheapo Computron but lightspeed is just unacceptable.

>>5693260
What are your thoughts on nosecone?

>>5693260
Both Hasbro and Takara have shitty Lightspeeds.

Hasbro used the right mold, but couldn't be assed to remove the police lightbar and add a spoiler.

Takara has a good head sculpt, but used a shitty mold probably because it had a spoiler. They also gave him a weird maroon paint job.

I'm still getting Takara's version because I think Nosecone, Scattorshot, and Strafe are superior to Hasbro's. I like Hasbro's Afterburner just a little more than Takara's. But both Lightspeeds look retarded to me...with Hasbro's being slightly less retarded because of it being based on one of the best CW molds.

>>5693271
Takara used the right mold since Lightspeed has roof and window for a chest.

>>5693225
Takara is a corporation too bro.

>>5693272
Hasbro's mold choice fits better with the alt mode though (minus the stupid light bar and lack of spoiler). Plus, they could easily remold his chest to form a faux window chest like the Wheeljack mold has.

If you took Hasbro's Lightspeed mold, gave it Takara's head, took away the lightbar, added a little spoiler, and remolded the chest to be a faux roof, it'd be perfect.

>>5693198
I love it when they explicitly show mold changes on a retool. Wish Hasbro or Takara would do that more often.

>>5693284
Nah

I've got UW Bruticus on pre-order, so I wouldn't be likely to buy another one unless it was in a better color-scheme. I don't need a fourth member for Galvatronus since I have one in the form of CW Air Raid, who I got spare when I had to buy the CW Stunticon wave off BBTS because we didn't get it here, after having already got an Air Raid in the UW Superion set.

But if they release Shuttle Blast Off in the colours of Hasbro Jet Blast Off, I will buy the shit out of it.

Looks cool so far man

Id suggest going for streetwise for the arms, the color will be easy to get gray to match og ironhide/santos plus it has that bulky armored look

Magnaboss had these bulky ass armoured shoulders and you could add some decos to the arm port to match the elephant toes

>>5693388
I was thinking for the fist I would take two of the wave 4 handfootguns and paint the toe and fingers red while painting the cannons white to resemble the toes of the elephant on Magnaboss' wrist.

Is it just me, or is this mould ridiculously Transmetal/Beast Machines-y?

I bought Lazerback when he came out but he was kinda' eclipsed by Ripclaw at that point. Revisiting him, I'm really glad I have him.

>>5693394
He's great, I usually set up scenes with him and AOE dinobots.

It's the colors.

>>5693394
He looks like that wolf/Dragon guy from beast machines.

So apparently if swap CW First Aid's head onto CW Ironhide's body you can get a passable Clutch (literal who Gobot) or Small Foot (literal CUTE Gobot). Alternatively, pop a CW Swindle head on Ironhide and get rid of his Autobot symbol and the mold should work as Leland from the Battle Gaia team.

>>5693233
Okay, that's just a burgundy Wheeljack. What the fuck Takara?

>>5693419
In comparison to hasbro's lightspeed it at least has a new head and guns (which help homage it).

Its also still better than hasbro's wheeljack because its not some pale plastic thing with minimal paint apps.

And we've had shit like this many many times, the fact this is the second use of the wheeljack form isn't as bad as the alpha bravo mold, or dead end, or heaven forbin the god damn offroad mold.

As amazing as the paint on war zombie breakdown was its a straight up repaint, and that was a tak-tom-mall exclusive

>>5693402

Savage/Noble.

>>5693421
This guy gets it.

The second use of the Wheeljack mold vs. the 4th use of the Streetwise mold. The Streetwise mold is a good mold, but I'll take Takara's less-used mold over it.

I was thinking about scalping some Combaticons from my local Wal-mart, namely Swindle and Vortex. Anyone else planning on "flipping" some CW deluxes?

>>5693421
>Its also still better than hasbro's wheeljack because its not some pale plastic thing with minimal paint apps.

A turd with extra paint is still a turd.

>>5693236
He isn't dead yet? Damn shame.

>>5693431
Nope. But he's about to marry his white girlfriend and knock her up with his halfbreed and now extra chance of diabeetes having children!

>>5693424
And a turd with no paint is also still a turd.

>>5693421
>Its also still better than hasbro's wheeljack because its not some pale plastic thing with minimal paint apps.
I just wish we could've got a retooled Dead End for it instead. The mold they used for Lightspeed, windshield chest or not, is just garbage.

>As amazing as the paint on war zombie breakdown was its a straight up repaint, and that was a tak-tom-mall exclusive
If I could get that Breakdown without buying Galvatron and leaving it without a limb I'd own the Stunticon team.
As it is, I have no reason to get a combiner with two shit molds that need fixing to work and one repaint in the same package.

Haw-haw-haw. I already said it before. This is the beginning of the end. "Collectors", yeah right. They'll dial it back up to the quality we had before, but charge us more, because the economy is shit and the overall market is much smaller.
I'd really love some good quality, but I'm not betting on it. I could take easy-build-it-yourself kits on sprues as long as we could get super-great products without high costs. High part count and variation of sprues, high articulation, high sculpt, chrome, and at least some basic pre-applied paint.

We just keep resetting. 4H had new heads and was planning on doing new weapons for Energon... the jeep, as Brawn and... I forget. I thought FunPub would eventually get up to more, and they did, sorta, slowly. More transformation-related parts like Thrust's wings in 2007, and full though limited articulation figures like the Pretender gorilla.

>also days ago people was asking for better products no matter the cost. why not just go 3rd party then.
because Hasbro could theoretically do it for less in higher quantities? I guess it depends. I imagine there's still a large gap in quantity produced between Hasbro and 3rd parties.

Don't listen to that guy. The stress marks, if they're there at all, are extremely minor and are rendered even less visible by the colour of his shoulders. Quillfire oozes personality and can throw plenty of shapes for a Transformer his size. Definitely worth picking up.

Everyone has reported having them here so far. Its completely valid to be concerned about them especially when it's all over the socket.

>>and are rendered even less visible by the colour of his shoulders
It's not the looks that are to be worried about. Its breakage.

I didn't say don't buy him. I just said be careful and that he's not the new fix it.

>>5693893

You know, if this just had forward hip movement it would be a pretty great legends figure. It's a cute little figure as is, especially for $4, but those hips man.

Although, what's up with the seondary market on Starscream and Thundercracker? I'm not paying ~$20 for a $4 toy. I just thought it'd be neat to get the trio at that size, oh well.

>>5693897
Plenty of Transformers over the years have had stress marks and looking at my Quillfire, I honestly can't see how these specific stress marks could lead to breakage.

Still, I suppose it is an issue worth pointing out. It restricts his shoulder swivel a little.

>>5693931

Oh, have all those too. I just picked up this SW cause I like his colors and then thought I'd look at getting the other two in this legion size.

>>5693933
Considering its all over the socket that means that, while there may not be breakage of the socket, it'll eventually stretch out.

That and there are times where turning it is so right that it feels like the peg will twist off.

Has anyone here fixed their Generations Blitzwing's shoulders? How did you do it?

>>5693786
For you.

>>5693960
Some people used small bits of plastic. I just took the back off mine and sanded the pegs a bit. Worked wonders.

>>5693826

That's just plain retarded.

Just because it isn't explicitly SAID to be a male, that doesn't automatically mean it's a female.

The mold is pretty good. Not fantastic, but good. There are a few issues like the hands not being able to hold on to weapons well. That and no wrist and waist swivels when there's no reason not to have them.

I like him alot because he feels a little more unique amongst the other components. Sure, he has the folding leg mechanic from the Aerialbots, and how his arms tuck away is also similar to them, but the wheels make all the difference.

Panther, Rhino, and Beetle didn't have genders either, and they were made male.
I don't know how to break it to you, but women exist.

>>5694399
Didn't you know Transformers is a no girls allowed club?

>>5694404
There were girls since like The Search of Alpha Trion

>>5694409
That was sarcasm but yes we've had girls since G1.
It seems these people just want their token few and adding anymore scares them just like in real life.

>>5694409
>>5694427
it sure scared furman

>>5694430
Furman doesn't really seem to mind women, it's just that robot women trigger the fuck out of him.

Proof that he is a closeted homosexual robophile.

Kiss Players says otherwise.

>All the girls given primary focus are humans and the female robots don't appear until radio drama spin-off

>>5694404
I'll never understand the "no fembots allowed" fags

>>5694495

Trolls, anon. Trolls.

Though Furman does have a hilariously autistic seeming anti-fembot bent to him.

Nerds don't like change.

>>5694502
But it's not change. We had females forever.

I mean, "they're robots! They don't have gender!" is such a tumblr thing. It's so weird that both the MTMTE legbeards and the autistic Furmanators are on the same side.

>>5694525
But people assumed manta was a guy till the Canon said otherwise and now they are mad. Change.

Look at the new Ghostbusters. There are those that hate it only because it's women and haven't even seen a trailer.

I think that's only a very small amount of MRAs. Most people hate it for a whole slew of reasons beyond being women.

It's from a companion comic with masterpiece starscreams ghost
I think this was the biggest we got without rescanning the comic.

I haven't seen any of the single-carded or two-packs(with commander figures) yet.

The clear armor gimmick work better for these weaponizers as effect parts...on the flying pucks the armor bits will just explode on impact and scatter all over the room.
