Whelp just need an argument that lasts 50 posts and this thread is done already
What will Takara do with the Super God Masterforce characters in TR?
I already know Cancer will be present just as an headmaster with Legends Shockwave
Also TR Star Saber + Victory Leo when? Seacons when?
>>5698979
I want an mp victory leo so I can have star saber combine but I know it ain't gonna happen
Is this a better city mode from TR fort max?
My only complaint is those damn hands, something about them makes me think fort max is some creepy pedo waiting for little girls to enter his "city"
>>5699002
Also we get to FINALLY see the inside of the legs.
...very little of it at that and that'sall there is, rest of the shots are just a headless fortmax and cerebros being man handled
>>5699002
Looks good
>>5698953

UW Devs is hardly MP quality. You're welcome.
>>5699002
It's frustrating when you can just do simple little twists and flips of parts to get way better official modes than they intended. But it's better than it not being possible at all, I suppose.
>>5699010
Can someone explain the obsession with seeing the inside of the legs?

Welcome to the Transformers fandom.
>>5699054
Barricade and the stunticons have no issues fitting in along with many others.
Besides autobots are pacifistic, being a dodge charger would work rather than something like a toyota yarris

>autobots are pacifistic
Geez. You really HAVE been drinking the Koolergon.

>>5699064

>>5699062
I'm still all for the whole g1 consumer product vs military hardware schtick, there were exceptions like warpath of course.
Point stands, cars can be decepticons, my head cannon just needs some edge towards whatever a decepticon is.
>>5699064
>>5699065
I thought the grey was gonna be uglier so I'm happy with this.
Not so much about the hollow arms but hay its 2016, also what would takara do differently, just the forarms in blue?
>>5699067
>defending hollow arms
>any year
Hascucks, everyone.
>>5699073
>defending
>not a fan of what I'm defending
I-I don't get what you're trying to do but it hurts my head.
Also you dunce the takara version will have the hollow arms too (which is specifically the one I'm after unless another legends rewind case happens which is unlikely)
>>5699052
Theyre just looking for excuses to complain, primarily.
>>5699002
I wanna know how stable this mode is. After going through the effort to remold Metroplex, and with all the utter dedication to G1, there has to be some reason they didn't go through with the original Fort Max base mode.
>>5699087
Lazyness.
>>5699087
One theory I have is its to "modernize" fortmax, much like how generations metroplex differs alot from his old city mode.
There was an article one seibertron that had an old magazine image with him (g1 fort max) in the very city mode he is in now with the TR version, I can't fucking find it but it could also be a homage to that.
Hell maybe they thought might prefer the bigger "base" mode look since he's all sprawled out.
If anyone can find that image/see how g1 fortmax looks please post because my google skills are weak
I found fort max's guns.
They were on the shins
>>5699052
It's the same obsession with hollow torsos and the robot mode being visible beneath the vehicle mode.
Just the idea that the inside of the robot is hollow or that the robot mode is visible when the car is upside down, triggers the fandom.
>>5699052
Filling up holes is fun.
>>5699065
When I first saw the images of this guy I thought his proportions were really weird, but seeing the in-hand pictures make him look a lot better.
Plus the poster on TFW said they fixed the hands from the Magnus mold so that he can actually hold his guns better - that was one of the things I hated about Leader Ultra Magnus.
They can tab into the armor that hangs under his arms.
>>5699098
Sounds like excuses more than anything.
They're "homaging" that obviously mistransformed magazine picture because it's a easy cop out to actually trying to make the city mode.
>>5699120
>>5699067
>also what would takara do differently, just the forarms in blue?
Eh, Super Ginrai's animation colors aren't that different from Hasbro's toy, really. They're so crazy about sticking to animation accuracy that maybe it'll be close to this photosherp.
>>5699002
Alright this is good to know.
now give us the master sword now.

>>5699098
>Additionally, the 1987 Hasbro toy catalog features a mis-transformed Fortress Maximus in a mode referred to as an "impenetrable fortress," essentially consisting of his city mode with the legs splayed outwards.
I was looking for this and now I have it, really TR fortmax works in either fan modded city mode or the mis-transformed "implementable forttress" form, gotta give the back of the leg detail some love like in>>5699002 right?
>>5699129
Yes, they could and they should, need to investigate this further
>>5699132
It can sorta do it, just not to exact detail.

>>5699140
>3p's have us covered unless they're still planning the sword
It' obvious we'll get one from either Takara or Hasbro giving us it for SDCC.
Seriously if Hasbro does a SDCC Fort Max with the sword, Ideally I'd get it.
the fact they haven't announced it yet is what worries me.
>>5699144
This is where I beg to differ, hasbro do toy homages, the master sword was an animation thing that happened in the japanese continuity.
Hasbro gave the deluxe masters toy accurate heads, takara gave us animation accurate heads whether we wanted them or not.
I'm guessing another chromed out paint job with a gun just for kicks, but I wouldn't mind being wrong, since those sdcc devastators ended up in clearances stores around the world for regular rrp of hasbro devastator, I just preferred takara's devvy to bother
>>5699144
>MFW Comic Con Fort Max has a rad sword but is covered in random patches of ugly-ass chrome
>>5699146
The only reason I think the hypothetical SDCC version would have the Master Sword is due to that SDCC 3 pack of Sentinel Prime, Windblade and Brainstorm.
On the packaging of that set Fort Max is clearly in it and he's got the sword.
I really would hope it's true, I'd love to pick one up at TFCon Toronto but that's probably cutting it close.
>>5699147
The only reason Metroplex had chrome was to be faithful to the original toy. SDCC Fortmax will likely have a proper Spike headmaster
>>5699149
For the record.
>>5699149
You people are forgetting that leaked picture from last year clearly says some shit like "exclusive sword"
>>5699151
SDCC versions of Devastator and the "G1" AOE Dinobots also had random shiny bits. They even did a shiny version of a Mighty Mugg one year. Enough of a precedent that it could definitely happen to Fort Max.
>>5699155
Still sad that Sentinel is not in Zeta Prime colors. Would mesh with the overall colors of the set well and it's more interesting than random translucent orange.
>>5699177
Yeah the SDCC set is such a missed opportunity.
>>5699177
Not to mention I see very little difference between the SDCC Sentinel and the retail one.
I guess he's got a translucent Titan Master? That's his gimmick?
>>5699182
He has alot more than a translucent titan master, alot of the figure is translucent
>>5699182
How has a third party company not made that motherfucker yet?
>>5699170
They should've made more of the purple shiny. Looks weird like that.
Jesus fuck, why are all Arcee so crazy expensive?
>>5699182
>Those colors on the right
Close enough.
>>5699206
There is no G1 cartoon sentinel. That character that was identified as G1 cartoon sentinel by TFwiki is nothing, but Jim Sorenson's (aka Ask Vector Prime) fanfiction he plugged into the Allspark Almanac.

Even the Energon, Prime and Animated ones are bullshit.
>>5699255
If you're patient and find stuff being sold directly from Amazon, you're golden. Sometimes it can be a little more than retail, though (like 1 or 2 bucks), but if you have shit distribution in your area like I do, it's not much of a price to pay.
I'd try making your orders count by buying tons of stuff at once so you can qualify for free shipping at the least (usually $35+ orders).
Wow, Blurr's mold looks pretty good.

Hey, at least you're not obligated to buy full waves if there's a combiner you like.
>>5699327
Takara's might not look as bad IF they paint the headmaster a little but the mold itself is pretty bad.
>>5699327
At least not all of it is shit like the universe one.
>>5699329
nobody forced you to buy an entire gestalt because you liked a limb.
>>5699327
Apparently a headmaster Galvatron that looks terrible is better than a new Apeface (which is more than just a face).
>>5699332
Eh, with any luck some 3p might just do a big set of titans return bits to fix crap like this, a full crown-helmet for galvy, better weapons for some of the deluxes lumped with weird guns meant to seat titan masters, that sort of thing, odds n' ends to make the line better on the whole
>>5699330
Different paint won't save that mold.
>>5699337
b-but why should I have to pay for overly expensive bits just to fix what should of been done by takara?
If it was a helmet that stuck over his head making the face flush things would of been fine, let alone the fact the head is largely unpainted which is the only real fix takara is giving us.
I'd pay $4at the most for a crown for galvatron, and thanks to mandatory shipping that ain't happening
>>5699332
I won't use the crown then. Seems to be able to hide in the chest.
>>5699340
If they really wanted to celebrate the movie, they should've waited for a more normal line, forcing them into the headmaster line means everyone loses.
I swear this shitter ain't helping, the mold is solid though.
>>5699343
Can you contend with the mostly unpainted head with batffleck proportions?
>>5699344
As much of a g1purist I am its a gimmick that can be ignored, only g1 purist suffer, even then most of the OC masters are homages to them being target masters/god masters
>>5699345
Some of these look far better than the CG renders they've been showing.
>>5699345
As I said...I can paint the head if I want. And the proportions are not an issue as long as articulation is fine. It's not like all transformers have to be a certain body type.
>>5699347
It really isn't when it's a integral part of the figure.
>>5699345
I didn't even consider how much the calves may hinder knee articulation. Good thing he's not even a "kind of want" for me.
>>5699345
He could've been Nightbeat, and/or Minerva, I bet he'd sell more.
>>5699354
>parts forming head
Have people always thought this negatively about the Headmasters gimmick? Even with the G1 figures?
>>5699355
>>5699354
I'd say that when it's required to interact with to get from one mode to the other, it's a integral gimmick.
>>5699357
I was actually defending it, the head transforms yes, but it has to be removed for the transformations.
What else do I call it, titan-forming, I don't want to be an apologist
>>5699359
So whats the problem with pulling the head on and off, tell me, what does it concern you with?
All you've said is how integral it is, you haven't said if it affects articulation or just g1 cannon?
Just to add fuel to the fire, TR PMOP's head doesn't need to pop off for him to transform. So the design team was capable of making better toys but chose not to.
I'm just a little concerned
>>5699362
It means the figures heads look terrible, that works with characters who have always been headmasters since thats how their head always looked, but on the likes of Scourge or Galvatron here: >>5699317 it's just plain terrible, these characters aren't headmasters and never have been before this line, so they shouldn't be in it, let me ask, if it doesn't matter, would you rather have a Titans return Galvatron or a new generations Galvatron with a great headsculpt that isn't affected by a gimmick?
Would you believe these are mold brothers?
>>5699366
Evidence?
>>5699366
It's probably because the mold was also used for a non-TR figure. Not rocket science.
>>5699366
Cry more.
>>5699375
Yes. There's less retooling here than with Springer and sandstorm and those still look pretty similar.
>>5699374
Ah, MUCH better response.
Guess I'm too busy looking at scourge's face sculpt to ignore the back of the head kibble, being a skinny face doesn't help, and yes I agree 100% on galvatron and thus been on the fence on cancelling my pre-order.
The gimmick doesn't bother me, its the look and so far its galvatron with his crown that bothers me the most, I can forgive the rest if that's hard to believe.
Gotta say pm prime's is silly, the helmet covers the original titan master so anything stuffed there becomes PM prime
>>5699366
Shoulda posted this
I admit I've never handled the UM mold yet
This is just making me really want Titans Return to come out already.
Part one, just to show how encasing the head is.
Ruins the gimmick, sorta applies to blaster but this one covers up so much
>>5699382
So it is just because of Magnus.
>>5699375
>>5699375
>Evidence?

>>5699384

>>5699322
oney cartoons, yaaaa~
>>5699386
I already beaten you to it but that's my fault for not knowing the figure still used alot of former engineering
This is cool, the Headmaster bot combines with his vehicle to become the jaws, chest and arms.
>>5699318
Huge improvement over the Generations mold for virtue of not having an abdominal gap.
Plus the legs looks sturdier.

>>5699401
> laughing jksimmons.gif
>>5699412
I meant without a master. It seems you won't even need one that badly for him.
>>5699322
So Galvatron is a mech suit and every headmaster becomes Galvatron when using his body?
>>5699383
I know what you mean. Half of these figures I was going to pass on before these in-hand pictures started coming out.
>>5699375
Shame the Voyage Brainstorm head isn't compatible.
>>5699414
It is, they painted the face silver and the outside purple for that promo one.
I know takara's face is silver but can't confirm anything else
>>5699417
All the titan master does is add eyes, look here again >>5699386 it has a mouthplate and everything except for eyes.

Not going to happen unless he was a remold for some bigger character and Hasbro last I looked didn't want to do a BW anniversary.
You know who is a fucking great example of how to do big transformers figures with good posability?
Fucking Cybertron Metroplex, look at that abcrunch, it makes me diamonds.
>>5699430
it helps when you don't have to design it with an alt-mode in mind
>>5699430
That altmode though.

>>5699432
>>5699433
I'll admit, the alt-mode isn't much, especially without the crane staff (never, ever leave your TFs at your parents house before 'spring cleaning', I have no fucking clue what happened to it and neither do they), but I actually like the simple chunkitude of it, and the transformation is both simple and original, with touched like how the red part of the legs lines up when you fold the shins in half as well as those little blue tabs that join from the torso half to the leg half of the alt mode.
The arms might not do anything besides move around and bend, but they pull it off a lot better than the likes of generations plex, where they feel like kibble in the alt modes (I still feel that if the hands could just fold into the forearm that figure would be so much more satisfying)
>>5699434
Just crop your picture even a pixel before you post.
>>5699428
Same can be said of the no name deluxes, so why don't you fuck off.
>>5699317
Okay, so if I turn his head, that crown mask thing will also move? Or is it fixed in place
>>5699294
it looks like a fucking unpainted prototype compared to takara's
>>5699443
The fact that you like it doesn't make it a better figure.
>>5699452
The mask will move too, but I don't think it has a full 180 swing.
>>5699323
Gattai?
>>5699461
Is the headmaster paintable? I'm thinking of painting the sides purple just to make it less awkward looking
>>5699443
>alt mode
Thats clearly just a robot doing the OTL / orz pose
>>5699451
>Same can be said of the no name deluxes
Actually, no, it can't. The deluxe class always has more figures released than the larger, more expensive classes, and the no-name characters are useful for filling those numbers out. The higher you go in terms of price point, the more the figures put out need to be either major characters, or offer a lot of repaint/remold possibilities, and guys like Apeface and Snapdragon simply aren't and don't.

Nope, completely different appearances, personalities, and story roles. This one is just as obscure as a first wave Headmaster.

i'll probably buy the Takara one, Ginrai is so hotblooded and cool

I'd rather get redos of the Combaticons, or a new WFC Optimus
>>5699480
>>5699308
is it bad that i like the look of this Brainstorm way more than the Voyager one?
His headsculpt is soo much nicer!
it's like when you compare Generations Wheeljack to his CW counterpart. Sure the old one might be a better toy, but it just doesnt look as nice
>>5699490
I don't want to buy these legends things, I don't know any of the characters that much and toys aren't even proper classics/generations/whatever representations of them anyways.
But FUCK do I want to buy these things look at them they're so small and cute and fun and holy shit
>>5699372
looks like Fire Guts Ginrai
>>5699483
>...He says when the same goddamn wave has IDW Sentinel Prime.
Which we are only getting because that mold was clearly intended to be Astrotrain, which we're getting in a later wave, just like the deal with CW Optimus and Motormaster.
How do you not see how this works?
>>5699483
I think sentinel was just used so the Astrotrain mold didn't get just one use. Might as well give it to a character whose alt mode has never really been set at one thing.
>>5699495
They look like fun desk toys.
>>5699490
Apeface is more than his head, numbnut.
>>5699492
Damn, i just remembered that Brainstorm had a normal face in the Headmasters anime.
No Takara release for me then...
by the way did you guys know that Brainstorm is Christian?
>>5699480
Careful, man, your blood pressure is going through the roof with all that salt you've got.

They're implying the generic "IDW is shit" arguments that are ultimately just subjective reasons for not liking a thing rather than objective and consistent flaws that need to be improved.
>>5699619
He's at least right where Star Saber is concerned. He showed up for a few issues as a religious zealot with minimal dialogue, got in a swordfight with Cyclonus and then teleported away. Never seen again.
>>5699619
... Actually that's backwards unfortunately, I was implying that IDW can't characterise well or in-depth beyond 'hi I'm [insert obscure or well known character here], i have [psychological disorder] and tragic past making my actions sympathetic consisting of [tragic past here]'
>>5699626
Exactly, generic "IDW is shit" arguments.

>Those fucking upper legs.
>>5699631
To be fair, I don't really think IDW is shit, I enjoyed season one of MTMTE quite a bit, but they really aren't anything to write home about and after a while it becomes clear half the plot threads are made up as they go and and they're trying a good bit too hard to suck the dick of the side of the fanbase I'm really not a fan of which puts me at an odds to the content in it, said content eventually starts feeling quite repetitive and disjointed after following for long enough

Thats pretty cool. Also neat to see how far he'd come from what is honestly a pretty good custom, to a full on toy.
>>5699550
The personality is from Roberts fan fiction of Star Saber where he is a bloodthirsty warlord that was part of Jhiaxus's Decepticon Empire.
>>5699685
In his defence he didn't know what Star Sabers personality was at the time, he never saw Victory and thought of the design as a warlord type of character
>>5699691
Warlord? I have no clue how he should act but he looks like a noble knight type with his good guy colors and majestic 80s sword.
>>5699697
I never got quite a "warlord" feel from IDW Star Saber. He feels more like a down and dirty crusader who uses his beliefs to justify his actions despite what said beliefs actually say.
Rewind looking pretty good.
>>5699691
So ignorance justifies butchery? sounds like IS.
>>5699705
And new Windblade looks like a huge improvement.
The only big flaw with it is that it's an RiD toy, so it has that gigantic circle pressed into its chest.
>>5699701
>>5699691
Turning Star Saber's "hotblooded burning justice" into "insane religious zealotry" is like turning Bumblebee's "gets along with humans" into "has a sexual fetish for humans and fucks them at every opportunity"
It's hack writing, plain and simple. Besides, he came with Tyrest and Pharma in the same arc so his "w-well Star Saber is the only one who fits the narrative!" excuse is pure bullshit.
For those wondering, Takara Galvatron seems to use the fold-down Galvatron Crown too. The Headmaster is painted in proper Megatron colors too, so good luck getting it to look good from the sides.
>>5699712
QC's about the same all around.
>>5699710
at least it'll have functional thigh swivels, unlike the retarded ones that dont work on the generations one...
>>5699714
If we're lucky we'll probably get a 3rd party to make a regular Galvatron head that fits on the mold.
>>5699713
I like that Star Saber was in with Tyrest, because has has the same "robot in a robot suit in a robot suit" thing going on that Ultra Magnus has.
>>5699710
>No wrist swivels
>Worse face
>RiD sticker
So close.
>>5699712
One thing that annoys me is how rubbery Takara makes the soft plastic on its molds. I'm worried that Legends BA's shin will shear off or AM Wildrider's knee-spikes will rip. Hasbro uses a stiffer soft plastic that isn't as dicey.
>>5699725
That could be paint apps

That's the SDCC one. The retail release looks like this.
>>5699751
I know. I was commenting specifically on the figure in that picture.
Opinions on cybertron Menasor? He looks like a lot of fun.
>>5699738
I dunno about madman, but I do know my attempts to Jojo pose Defensor just leave him looking bad.
Maybe I can just say he was pretending to be stupid?
>>5699778
His robot mode is badass and reminds me a lot of WFC Omega Supreme, but his vehicle mode is just him lying down like he's about to give birth.
Crumplezone is still the best Cybertron toy
>>5699785
I liked Crumplezone, and I wish I could get the primal version easily, but I wouldn't say he's my favorite. I really enjoyed the Sideways mold even though I had the ratbat version.
Oddly enough my personal favorite is GTX Ransack. he's beautifully colored, nicely articulated, and a bikeformer. I love the little guy.

That and they want to push Amazon Prime which I do have and does work out since they added the discount of %20 off video game pre orders and new games for 2 weeks after release.
I also got my Groove today
>>5699796
Enjoy him, man. He's great.
>that card art will always make me chuckle. so much dull surprise
>>5699795
This is great. I hope you post it in every new Transformers thread from now until the end of time no matter how old and annoying it gets.
>>5699495
TR Apeface is basically a Mega Pretender that you can put in your pocket
It's amazing
>>5699796
Yeah, they're trying to push prime pretty hard. You think it's worth it? I order from Amazon about once a month, maybe.
>>5699810
I may spice it up by just posting really lossy screencap of each successive post, dilluting it with more and more artifacting until it becomes an unreadable mess as a joke based on how reposting the same shit over and over just Literally makes it lose all meaning.
Or I'll just keep it a one-off and then some other asshole keeps reposting it and I watch my child die in front of me.
>>5699815
It worth getting Prime if you going to use it more. Getting small orders 2 day shipped free like Batteries or Groove helps. Using price drop apps or even the wish list to track items.
Thing they don't tell you is you can share Prime with one person. My sister using it and loves it. Next year she pay for half of it.
>>5699809
that card art will always make me chuckle. so much dull surprise
Yeah,His face says
>You guys formed Defensor without me
>>5699847
Wait, really? Might have to consider it then. I don't have Netflix/Hulu/whatever, and free shipping plus movies and shit and some % off games could maybe be worth it.
Maybe. I'll have to see. Dropping $100 I could put to more toys/games might still be more worthwhile to me.
>>5699809
>Enjoy him, man. He's great.
Unless only Takara releases him. Then it's a bad out of scale toy that's inferior to hulk hands meme robot.
>>5699869
>being this bitter
>>5699861
on it
>>5699858
Amazon will sometimes offer Prime for less keep an eye out for a promotion.
>>5699869
I legit have never seen this delusion on /toy/. The concensus was always that we'd get a deluxe groove from afterburner. At least after Slingshot and Wildrider.
I have seen it on every other tf site ever, so if you want reaction images, post some screen caps.
>>5699849
First Aid wasn't even the pacifist, Groove was.
>>5699909
Ive asked before but never got any feedback but anyone know any effect pieces that could be used to sorta replicate Skywarps teleporting?
Purple portals or anything like that, I have two Skywarps and want to make it seem like hes mid teleport
>>5699909
They were both pacifists, but First Aid was the kind of pacifist who didn't do killing but did a lot of enabling of it.
In fact his signature weapon was fucking horrifying despite him being a medic.
>>5699915
>>5699915
>>5699909
He was in the G1 cartoon, for at least one episode.
>not trying to stir the pot, just stating a fact.
>>5699915
did skywarp even teleport other than in that one moment?
it looked so fucking cool
>>5699917
did First Aid just kill Brawl and Swindle?
that's what i hate about the old comics, death has no meaning unless the writing requires it. people die all the time but they just show up again without a scratch.
it's even worse than Beast Wars with that aspect
>>5699932
>that's what i hate about the old comics, death has no meaning unless the writing requires it. people die all the time but they just show up again without a scratch.
Thats all comics though. Only indie comics and manga can manage to keep a character dead.
>>5699932
It was the issue where they're put into a video game, so it's not the actual brawl and swindle.
>>5699932
I want to say that's from the g2 comic, but you're right about the needless meaningless killings, that saga with Starscream going about killing everyone is the lamest.
>>5699932
>death has no meaning
So like with G1 Optimus, then.
>>5699932
>it's even worse than Beast Wars with that aspect
Are you talking about waspinator? He still functioned.
I mean they are robots. Usually just a matter of some technology repair. The ones that fell in the lava never came back.
>>5699936
oh i see. Brawl did get killed by Megatron that one time tho
>>5699938
>that saga with Starscream going about killing everyone is the lamest
i heard the TFs who died in that saga stayed dead tho, is that not true?
>>5699940
The comic version? cause when he died in the videogame, that had some pretty big knock-on affects.
>>5699943
Yeah they stay dead, I got mixed up, but I still hate that they did that.
>>5699942
>Are you talking about waspinator? He still functioned.
i think the best example was when Ravage died in Beast Wars. The bomb blast that killed him also seemingly killed some of the other Preds, but they're just fine by next episode
>>5699887
No, the consensus was that Groove was an inferior toy to hulk hands meme robot because hasbrocucks were going sour grapes mode over having no deluxe. now that hasbrocucks have access to him he's suddenly a good toy and everyone is rushing for a pre-order.
How's this for a custom Lightspeed?
>>5699887
>I legit have never seen this delusion on /toy/.
It's mostly on Allspark and TFW. Same places and threads where they are whiteknighting the Hasbro Computron and calling the Takara one shit.
>>5699956
I don't understand why couldn't you just have a team of six. Maybe transform the sixth into a weapon like with Piranacon.
You faggot geewunners will complain about anything and feel superior over the pettiest shit.
So I'm building a kind of wolfpack of TFs. I have Wolfang, just found a complete cybertron snarl on eBay for $13, I'm getting Weirdwolf.
Are there other wolves I'm missing?
>>5699966
it wasnt the issue of an extra team member ,but the that deluxe groove was expensive since he was shipped in a box set with the other Protectobots. It's only after Hasbro made him avaliable that lots more people started getting him and people changed their tune about how Groove was out-of-scale..
>>5699691
He should have learned. Why fucking write Transformers and not fucking know as an adult with all the knowledge in the world at your fingertips?
>>5699956
>he's suddenly a good toy
>suddenly
The deluxe Groove was version we should have got from the start. Not "let's scale down Groove and introduce a brand new character to take his place as a limb."
Why couldn't the Legends character for Defensor be the new character, hmm? Like how Menasor got Blackljack. Yea, he's a neat addition for those who wanted him, but he isn't necessary to complete the G1 team and still form the gestalt, unlike Defensor initially.
>>5699323
NEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAR
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
WHEREVER YOU AAAAARE
>>5699982
>Legends Rook
I want it
>>5699975
Therewere always people who were against a legends groove. I didn't see one thread where everyone licked Hasbro dick about it, just like hiw people are still throwing a shit storm about take-off.
Besides, those people would have nothing to say since they technically still have a defensor with a tiny groove. You're The only person who looks like an autist since you care so much about other people's autism.
>>5699943
>Brawl did get killed by Megatron that one time tho
The Simpsons ruined that scene for me.
>>5699975
Yeah, the boxed set thing is the only reason why people ever really decried deluxe Groove, and that was more in reaction to people needlessly bashing Rook for not being geewun.
Even the "out of scale" thing was less a complaint and more acknowledgement of the reasoning. The only people who ever complain about scale are usually people who are too tunnel-visioned on the realistic vehicle licensing on MPs to realize they're still alien robot toys.
>>5699957
That looks a lot better than Lightsteed.
>>5699975
No,no. What I don't get is this obsession to uphold G1 and complain about the risk of not being able to enshrine it further with another update, even after you've got what you wanted. Rook is a good figure, and so is Groove.
Give it some time and you'll find your Groove, if that's why you're bitching about.
>>5699982
Maybe they were like "well we could do that and have a motorcycle be bigger than the legends, but what rescue vehicle would make sense being that tiny?"
Yeah scale doesn't matter, but maybe they were trying to be even the tiniest bit with scale.
>HasTak doesn't care about scale
>"FUCK HASBRO THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US FANS WHO WANT REALTISTIC REPRESENTATIONS OF MUH ALIEN ROBOTS"
>HasTak pays attention to scale and also expands the lore by adding a new character that's basically just a stronger First Aid

...to make more sense.
Motorcycles are not large vehicles. It makes sense that they chose to shrink groove as compared to rest of the team. I'm not defending it, but they chose to shrink the one that would make sense as smallest of the team.
>>5699622
He'll probably come back with Tyrest. Roberts is able to write things with years of lead-time.
People are mad about how it happened, Groove, Slingshot, and Wildrider should've been in the mainline, After them, then they could've released any additional members
>>5700018
I doubt anyone would've bought them in enough quantities to justify making them in the first place if the original line-ups were available, what with that weird hatred for new characters.
>>5700018
>People are mad about how it happened, Deluxe Groove, Slingshot, and Wildrider should've been in the mainline, After them, then they could've released any additional members
underrated post
>>5699725
>>Worse face
>>5699970
Sixshot turned into a wolf! but he aint easy to get..
>>5700025
then release them before, either way they'd be easier for people to get than them being online exclusives.
>>5699970
Main one I can think of is Carnivac, the Pretender. There were a bunch of minicon wolvies too.
>>5700034
But there is a rumored Leader Sixshot!
>>5699970
Movie Steeljaw, but don't get him, he's shit.
Why are there two versions of Sentinel Prime and neither care colored correctly?
>>5700049
Yeah but his altmode is a car. Does he count?
>>5700018
So, mainline is all the normal G1 'bots, filler waves are the OC donut steels?
That would've worked well enough.
>>5700034
I have been considering that 3P one, but I'll wait and see if the rumored leader has a wolf mode. Thank you though.
>>5700042
Okay cool. I'm from the beast era so I'm glad to hear I can go further back. And I forgot about the wolf minicons!
>>5700045
Yeah he's tempting till I see the bot mode.
>>5700049
Ah thanks for that, but I am looking more towards wolf altmodes. I would own him though if the figure wasn't shit.
>>5700048
Looks accurate enough to me.
>>5700065
The 3P Sixshot is amazing. It's pretty much the golden standard for a 3P toy.
>>5699553
>Arcee
>scalped
Yeah, when you can still get her for retail, totally scalped. Oh no, you have to buy another toy with her, abloobloobloo. Jesus Christ, she had a solid case and sold for $20 everywhere when it hit. And the Takara was reissued and sat at $25 for months. How fucking poor are you?
>>5700065
>I would own him though if the figure wasn't shit.
The Warrior class version of him is pretty neat.
>>5700066
He's yellow, not orange. He looks orange cause the image is oversaturated with sunlight.
>>5700078
True, especially if you're gonna buy him for just the wolf mode, since it's always the weakest mode in terms of looks in both the 3P and the original Sixshot.
>>5699136
The Takara one will be going full God Ginrei colors
>>5700081
And another scene in the same series the panel here >>5700066 is from, in case someone wants to think think the artists drawing him later colored him different from Megatron Origin.
>>5699038
better, still needs floor length ramps. If some 3p makes them, i might scrape the cash together to buy one, but he's waaay down at the bottom of the list.

Sounds right. They color Swerve orange all the time.
>>5700155
Even Marvel's version is the same colors as IDW's, idiot. Hasbro's the one fucking up the characters colors, established by two separate fictions.
>>5700161

>>5700165
And he was red and gray in one fiction and blue in another. Your point?
>>5699095
