How? You'd need not just new parts but some new bots as well. The thing is, CW is NOT G1. It's loosely based on G1 but the actual physical models are different. Haphazardly gluing on some extra crap to try and make it look G1 doesn't really work. It's half-assed at best.

Basically in order to justify making a new mold for generations, it has to have a remold as something. Liokaiser's combiner mode head looks like Sky reign's, so that's all they need as justification.

I think he'd actually make a really nice Deszaras with some retooling.
>>
>>5715329
Jfc, calm your tits. What he was talking about was maybe just some parts to make CW Menasor look a bit more like Devastation Menasor, which is a combination of G1 and CW. All it would take is a new waist piece (like Perfect Effect's), new feet and hands (ditto), new arms (they wouldn't even need to transform), and a backpack that would cover the top of the shoulders as well.

You know, it was either going to be BW or RiD01, and BW narrowly edges it out due to nostalgia. All things considered though I still think they're some of the best mainline toys ever. Fire Convoy and the Car Brothers have much more polish than most modern toys.

>>
>>5715514

They are seriously running out of good ideas. Powerglide makes sense but Soundwave is trying too hard, and the figures are really scraping the bottom of the barrel this time around.

>>5715353
Here is another one of his customs: IDW Thunderwing from Energon Galvatron.

>>
>>5715515
No signature tampos on powerglides frame.

Why
>>
>>5715519
They should have used like the humvee from the first movie for soundwave. That thing needs a reissue and it would have made more sense. I don't know why they insist on using that old hiss tank mold so much anyway.
>>
>>5715511
Not necessarily that, I mainly mean paint and detailing. Sideburn's car mode is much better looking than anything in years.
>>
>>5715512
Did they release a date
Also no shells? Damn monstructor is my all time fav and gets very little love
>>
>>5715545
there is only shells for dinoforce and their monstructor/dinoking is based on the IDW version. but fp has really been going downhill since their warbots.
>>
>>5715591
Granted, we don't know if the Monstructor release will or won't have shells. There are small groups of people yapping Monstructor is cancelled or there's no shells, but FP never gives information like that until the first figure is dropped on us, meaning it's just complete speculation as per usual.

The last we heard they were looking into smaller shells, hence their teaser art showing them off.

Will it pan out? We really don't have any idea. They're still trying to finish up Dinoking. Two legs missing, two shells for preorder and still no teasers for the last two.

As for being based on IDW, Dinoking isn't. Their representatives at TFCon and the like have expressed interest in doing an IDW head for Monstructor, but the fall back seems to be shared heads between the two.

Bootleggers usually use pics of the real product when selling shit anyway. Just check eBay, all that cheap chinese shit all uses the official product shots, like something being sold for $20 when it's normally $60+ isn't a dead giveaway it's a KO/bootleg.

Guys, I think something is wrong with my Galvatronus. I can stick limbs into the leg connectors but they won't hold, meanwhile nothing fits in the arm connectors. Worst of all his combiner head is missing!

I guess they went for HISS Tank because the logic was the canopy could be better painted into the typical Soundwave chest window, and it was a classic Cobra vehicle that hadn't been done proper yet.

But that truck really does deserve a redeco. It can fit a surprising amount of guys, has some nice play features, AND it's a stick.

Some old PoS handmedown digital camera. AFAIK the lens on it is fine, but it seems to never agree with any amount of light I give things. Always too dark which makes photos come out grainy as shit, or I need to break out the flash which also makes things look like shit.

Unrelated to my before dump, but did you know in Australia they missed out on CW ultra magnus and thundercracker?

Only just got skywarp, if you're a leader seeker fan down under you gotta import.

Not a big deal considering only a toy chain that isn't tru got skywarp, I guess we can blame the shelf warming megatrons, mostly armada megatron

And another unrelated image, this time fort max being sighted in another australian chain, big w for $249aud, much cheaper than myers ($350+).

But its still fucked up, I paid $98 for gen metroplex from the same chain years ago, I swear to god EVERYONE WAIT FOR HIM TO GO ON CLEARANCE

Sure it might make hasbro think we can't afford titan class, but a retool with a head off gimmick isn't worth the mark up, plus scalpers are getting ready to pounce

>>5716901
He's fun that's for sure, chopshop too if new heads don't bother you.

I wanted the TAV version but kickback ain't gonna have the sticker on his chest at this point, meaning he'll be out of place.

Thankfully the hasbro one mostly works, hope you didn't pay more than rrp

Only a retard would THINK 3d printed stuff looks fine on its own.

You'll need putty, the ability to use sand paper without fucking up the surface, some cutting skills if you want any engraved details (seeing its hand painted detail shows how shit the 3d model was) and proper paint skills.

Only a moderately good modeler would have any chance, most of us into transformers would lack such a talent as we're too busy arguing about how shit paint apps are to learn how to paint, let alone more advanced stuff only someone who's spent waaaaaaaaay too long would ever do

Yeah I saw the year of the goat platinum soundwave at Myer in Perth for like $299 and nope'd the fuck out of there. They also had the platinum edition Coneheads, $199 for what is basically G1 Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge.

TRU over here had CW Menasor, UW Superion and Victarion for $199 each. I went back after getting paid and only Menasor was left.
>>
>>5716941
>TRU over here had CW Menasor, UW Superion and Victarion for $199 each. I went back after getting paid and only Menasor was left

Rightfully so being one of the weaker UW releases.

Still this shit pisses me off.

>muh Australian retail needs help!
>i can't use online shopping!
>I can't get scammed if I use a shop I know!
>I DON'T HAVE TO PAY SHIPPING IF I BUY IT INSTORE

With premium collectables early adopters can get UW releases (and platinum editions-some you can't get here even) far cheaper than anyone else, and even if we used the likes of HLJ we STILL beat what local retail could ever promise, god people are stupid.

But then again so am I, I got my goat soundwave for $105 at myers as I had a discount plus sales, next thing he went on clearance for $99 2 weeks after, didn't bother even trying with the conehead set seeing how I still have my g1 ramjet (and seeing the swirling plastic on the wings worries me more than clear plastic, I handled clear plastic toys far longer than gps stuff and know what to do and expect).

You think Victorion will go on clearance or would retards buy her out?

>>
>>5716897
Wow, never realized just how tiny these will be.

Possible, plus it might entice people to try out the gimmick as well as pack in just a tiny bit more.

Deluxes get weapons, legends get heads they can't use, leaders get themselves and nothing more.

Oh no. Oh, no.

No, see, what happened was, I wanted to swap the legs. And instead of first looking up some info online, which should ALWAYS be your first reflex if you want to mod anything on your Transformer, like a fucking RETARD I just attacked the first screw I saw, namely those on his crotch piece.

Which, in this case, is something you should NEVER do. I should have unscrewed his THIGHTS - if I had, I would now have TWO CW Optimuses with swapped legs, instead of NO Optimuses and a heap of unsalvageable parts.
>>
>>5717074
Gee when I fixed the ratchets on skylynx I kept watching the same vid over and over and over even during the operation.

But wait, if you removed the screw what, did you try to pry it off, I honestly don't see anything broken, I get they're not in one piece but nothing there seems broken
>>
>>5717074
So you striped the plastic? or why can't you put it back and use some glue?

The crotch piece doesn't come off. It just splits a little. And the ratchet features two small strips atop small springs. Getting the hips back inside and functional is a practical impossibility.

So you have to open the torso, you'll have to remove the pins on the chest, that could be worse if you don't know how to do it, just wedge the legs into the crotch removing the ratchet bits, it will still stand with friction, won't be perffect but will serve as a remider to not be so careless again.


if you get stress marks after wedging in the legs use a hairdraier or heat gun to remove them, 1-2 inches away and 5 min at a time until they disapear.

I assume you are unable to reassemble the crotch of your Prime? I had the exact issue happen with my copy of the mold a few months ago.

I took apart my Motormaster a while back to fuck with the front/back hip ratchets. What you're gonna have to do to free the crotch parts is knock a large pin out from prime's abdomen (the part the abs hinge on when turning into a truck). That should free up some stuff. On the rest of the newly exposed parts of the lower half, there's some weird ass clip. I dremeled some away myself and when reassembled, it didn't visually affect bot or combined mode.

You could also try using a blowdryer.

I think reassembling the crotch of my motormaster in the end, however, mostly involved me gently wedging the crotch open and putting everything back together. And I have stumpy thumbs, so unless you're worse off, you should be okay.

You might not even need to dremel that clip bit, but it may help for full disassembly.

Oh it does. It was a nice design all around. I just wish they'd gone with their traditional modes. It might just be a side effect of them not having everything fleshed out that early on though, so they were just going to make everyone some kind of vehicle.

I mean, shit, Rewind's gay furry crankshiner turned into a robot fox. And guys like Rhinox are apparently a bajillion years old, or similar.

That animation is high end and they have to draw constant frames and deal with transformations scenes among other things.
It was also a rush job out the door.
It didn't get the time and care Animated, Prime and 2015 RiD got.

I don't know about that. Copying 1/1 friggin' DCAU and the really bad looking CG of CG cartoons doesn't spell time and care to me.
>>
>>5717683
>a style I don't like means they didn't put time and care in to something
>>
>>5717687

I like the DCAU style. But using it for TF was bad.

And it's hard to make good CG, and looks like soulless shit 99% of the time, even big budget movies.
>>
>>5717693
TFA is my favorite transformers show. the style really did bug me at first. Then I gave the show a real shot and it grew on me. It fits the tone of the writing.

The transformers show CGI has always been rough. The beast era was full of those awkward moments all early and low budget CGI has with the silence and prolonged shots for no reason.

Prime was better, but felt stiff. The Magnus versus predaking fight was pretty awesome though.

Energon and cybertron were rough because it felt like they just took the toys and did incredibly smooth stop motion.

RID animation, imo, is the best CGI they've been able to do BUT its also pretty stylized. I like the mixture of the 2D backgrounds and such.
>>
>>5717601
What is this custom?
>>
>>5717683
>>5717693

There's a reason everyone basically copies Bruce Timm's designs; they're efficient. It's basically fool proof and doesn't go off model as often as more detailed designs would. Do you want detailed 2D designs like the G1 animes or something? Too bad, there's almost no chance anyone is going to do that anymore. It's either CGI or stylized 2D.
>>
>>5717714
>efficient

you mean basic
>>
>>5717714
>Do you want detailed 2D designs like the G1 animes or something?

Yes, that is generally what people want. Detailed 2d designs that look like actual effort was put into a product.

I'd kill for 80's-Tier anime level of detail and animation these days.

And all the budget would get sunk into those intros. Thats why so many frames of the actual cartoon has QUALITY moments.
Detailed animation is easy to fuck up, and animation is cranked out in places where speed is valued most of all, and not everyone can draw that well. You know why Bruce Timm made the BTAS designs simpler in later seasons? Because he got upset that they kept getting back crappy animation from certain studios, so he made the designs easier to draw.

Well, I decided to pre-order this guy. He's just too damn appealing, and my Exhaust needs another lackey to pal around with.

The great thing about MPs is that they retain their value pretty well. There will always be some Johnny-come-lately that wants to snap them up down the road, and they'll be willing to pay.

>i havent seen season 2 much, though

G1, 80's TMNT, and a few other cartoons all had pretty nice looking first seasons, because their first seasons where pretty short. They also put more effort so they'd get a better chance at getting picked up for more episodes. It's the second season (and especially third, in G1's case) that suffer due to the budget being stretched over more episodes

I don't like it when the strongest argument to why a show is good or bad is the animation style but here we all are showing that such a thing can turn off a viewer from giving a show a fair shake one way or the other.

I love these designs, I hope we get a figure of them one day, it could be his equivalent to Optimus prime's powermaster body, the inner megatron could turn into a gun or weapon to be used by the outer robot, and form a cannon barrel for the vehicle mode.

>And it's hard to make good CG,
After attending one of the panels featuring the TF:Prime production team, I wonder if CGI animation is really cheaper/easier. Apparently TF: Prime was some sort of production hell since the start. Polygon was the only bidder. The main hurdle was generating the 3D assets and it's especially worse for transformers since each of them needed 3 detailed models (robot, mid-transform, alt mode). That's why you see them employ so many tricks in Beast Wars, Energon and TF:Prime to keep the asset count low

>small casts

>slightly modified assets (tailgate=cliffjumper, makeshift= wheeljack)

fuck transformers, King of the Hill, man. That's where its at
>>
>>5717817
As someone that owns both KOs and legits it's more of a gamble at first.
many are at that 90%+ quality but you can hit some that are straight in the gutter and feel like a KO

regardless quality issues exist in the legit ones as well so it really boils down to how much onr cares about where it came from and how returns and exchanges work.
>>
>>5717816

A lot of'em, yeah. Unless you really think something like Cowboys of Moomesa or fucking Johnny Test had some sort of grand storyline beneath the shit animation.

Protip: They don't.

There's a not-insignificant overlap of KO buyers and people who think a product that must be fixed right out of the box is still a quality product.

That said, I don't think much post MP-10 has held its value. Toy collectors are very poor these days and TF collectors are among the poorest.

I almost thought about waiting for the KO, but I didn't want to shoot myself in the foot if they never end up making them for some reason or another. Plus, I'm not nuts about the rubber tires they put on KO Tracks, so I was erring on the side of caution if they did the same for Loud Pedal.

And anyway, like I said, I'm certain I can find some Takara fanboy that doesn't want a KO to sell mine to at 100%+ the original price I paid, then I can pick up the KO for 30 or whatever it ends up being.
