How the fuck

>>5726886
There's speculation that the head on his chest is fake. Which, the more I look at it, the more it looks like that is indeed the case.

I'm honestly not sure if that's enough to put me off the figure or not. Normally, I'm a stickler for these kinds of things, but this guy just looks so damn GOOD

>>5729931
It's 100% a fake chest and I personally could not give less of a fuck

>>5729936
>It's 100% a fake chest and I personally could not give less of a fuck

THIS.

It's accurate in both modes and I actually think it's pretty ingenious when they manage pull off things like this.

Some people believe that using fake parts it's the easiest way to acomplish a transformation, but actually most of the time this kind of shit is more difficult to design that just using the same piece in both modes. When done sparingly and in cases where it's necessary to keep show-accuracy I have zero problems with it.

>>5729931
It does look fake and in this case makes the figure look more impressive. Like, where is it in beast mode?

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the best way of picking up a Masterpiece figure? I know the normal Japanese sites have them, but I know they also have US versions (sometimes?) too. Seems like the best way is to just preorder on whatever Japanese site has the best discount, but is there anything else one should look for or know beforehand?

>>5730139

Just preorder on Amiami or HLJ when it goes up and you'll be fine.

>>5730141
For sure, thanks. I can drop $100 bucks on Cheetor, what else am I doing with my life?

>>5730139

>but is there anything else one should look for or know beforehand?

Not really. Just check your currencys exchange rates to yen, and look around for which sites have a better price on the figure itself, and the actual shipping prices as well.

Masterpiece figures sometimes get a worldwise release in many other countries outside of japan, but the paint aps and colors are usually different or not as good as Takaras, and in North America especially they will get scalped to fuck and back, making finding one damn near impossible.

I can gurantee that if they do a US release of masterpiece Optimus Primal that the first day he comes out there will be dudes posting up pictures on Ebay with giant stacks of masterpiece boxes wanting double the price it is in stores. They are almost always ToysRUs exclusives, and duded either work there, or have friends there that get them whole shipments of toys. Or they just call the place every hour on shipment/delivery day to see if they came in and then rush down there and buy every single one.

I say just fuck it and order the Japanese/asian release one. It will have better paints, and be much easier to get.

I like that the Dark Scorponok version of him can use a gimmick from each of the series from the Unicron trilogy

>>5729931

>>5730723
Lazy design, same thing as CW optimus Prime having faux robot mode windows.

>>5730726
But what's to say that CW primes truck windows are what is supposed to be on his chest? Not like they can't pick the designs of their bodies.

>>5730735
By them ending up there on most every version of the character, and being the design intent.

>>5730723
I looks like the head on the chest is larger than the head in beast mode. Without two separate heads, the overall proportions of one mode was going to have to compromise.

You can't use the same cat head for both modes, it has been tried twice, you'll end with either a skinny chest or a huge cat head, the cgi cheated a lot.

But this is it's own design. What if prime just likes the look and he went with comfort this time?

>>5730743
It's really sad the only good Cheetor toy was the Titanium.

>>5730744
Don't be stupid.

>>5730726
>Lazy design

You know, I really wish people would find a better go-to word, because it seems like most of the time someone calls something "lazy" for not doing whatever it is they think should have been done, the thing they were expecting is typically unreasonable, at best, if not outright impossible.

As nice as it is to see in rare instances when it's actually possible to pull off, there are times it simply is it, a lot of the times people expecting their transforming robot toys to be completely accurate in all modes and not cheat on any details no matter how physically impossible that is, is basically the toy equivalent of saying "I want everything in one bag, but don't make it too heavy" at a supermarket checkout.

>>5730750

So what are some Transformers besides Masterpieces with a decent amount of robot articulation? The Orion Pax deluxe was pretty good too, love the legs.

>>5730787
i know but i really like the colours and the head

>>5730726
It would have been lazy if it didn't use a fake head because it wouldn't have been accurate in not modes. Finding a solution to such issue is actually a proof of clever design.

>>5730794
>So what are some Transformers besides Masterpieces with a decent amount of robot articulation

i honestly never thought of it that way. makes sense!

>>5730726
Lazy how? If anything it's more complex and creative than using the original cheetah head and ending up with something that looks worse. These are toys, they don't have to function like the exact model used on the show. All that matters is they look good and have good articulation without being flimsy/fragile.

>1: All figures must be made using existing molds (new heads and accessories are allowed however). For the sake of argument, the entire Transformers mold library is available.
>2: A character is not allowed to be made using a mold they've already been made in.

Yeah, we were pretty much screwed on having a regular green Brawl when Hasbro went with the baby poop green. Since he was that color in the show, that was what Takara was going to do all along as well. They just added some detail.

Kind of sucks since the baby poop color doesn't really look that interesting, and is so close to Blast Off's brown on the Hasbro set.

Why digibash just one mode?

As for the speculation about the fake chest, where...does it fold into?

I really hope its not using fake kibble, I've long suspected the lower jaw folds away allowing the cheetah head to come down with the plates only compatible with cheetah mode

>>5731396
There's no seculation, IT IS a fake head. Just look at the overal shape and sculpted whiskers, it's really obvious.

And I don't really care as long as it looks good.

>>5731408
What if MP is going full SoC? Swapping parts for perfect transformation and show accuracy.

>>5731411
I thought about that at first, but there's a pin on the chest head that wouldn't make sense unless it moves for transformation.

>>5731408
Maybe the fake head and robot head store in the torso in beast mode and the real cheetah head is housed right behind the fake one in robot mode?

>>5731419
Obviously. It's the only way this could work.

>>5731419
>>5731428
Yep. MP Primal has the same thing. In the original toy the front part of the gorilla face swung down into the chest but the MP has a more complex system where parts fold out of the chest to make it look better. Has to be the same thing here.

Good thing is that we get healthy stock of Hasbro, Takara and 3p goods.

As others have pointed out, there's no speculation to be made – it's a fake head. The "real head" is tucked directly behind with the ears sticking out.

If this seems like a new precedent to you, just look at MP Primal. The character design obviously implies that the face flips inside out and forms the chest, but the MP toy cheats to achieve a more accurate look.

This has already been brought up, but Primal and Cheetor are setting up a consistent pattern for what to expect of MP-BW as far as cgi-accuracy, beast mode compromises, and willingness to cheat the transformation (and hopefully the water-transfer decal technique). Take it or leave it.

>>5731658

I honestly think it shouldn't be considered "cheating" if you make a toy that looks better this way. Unless the whole toy is literally partsforming ala G1 Seekers or something, because that was a level of bullshit that few toys could ever pull.

Always have to wonder how young the people complaining about the movie transformers having impossible transformations are when it's been something that existed in the franchise since day one and was in one of the most beloved and celebrated iterations of the franchise.

>>5731736
>Always have to wonder
I've never wondered that. Movie bots are made of indistinguishable particles of broken glass and razor blades sloshing back and forth between two stable states.

Others are (or try to be) distinct, identifiable parts that shift into new positions.

Although I supposed you could say G1 is worse, because the robot modes were sometimes so simplified that you could argue they could only be made of straight liquid metal.

>>5731736
I don't mind most bay designs in that regard, but then you have shit like the new AOE Optimus being so humanoid looking with literally no truck parts in it. Not only it's bullshit, but it's also a pretty boring and non iconic look for OP.

When you can see the vehicle parts in the robot mode, it's all fine, even if an actual toy wouldn't be able to pull it off. I mean hell, Transformers in fiction are obviously supposed to be more advanced than real life plastic toys.

>>5731736

This: >>5731749

Though yeah, every era has shit that is just straight out impossible. It's a cartoon after all. And Transformers are probably one of the more difficult types of toys to make given how much has to go into them instead of, say, sculpting animu Figma Waifu #467 from Anime of the Week, or similar human figures.

>>5731749
>Implying they are not liquid metal lifeforms that have hardened components for panels

>Not only it's bullshit, but it's also a pretty boring and non iconic look for OP.

Everything Bayformers is a non-iconic look. Honestly, if you didn't know WHO each Bayformer was supposed to be already, you'd never fucking guess by looking at them. Hell, if you lived in a bubble and didn't know Bayformers existed, and someone showed you silent clips with no logos or any identifiers, they'd probably never guess it was Transformers.

>>5731761
Some of them are iconic in their own right, regardless of previous iterations of the characters.
07-DOTM Optimus can clearly be identified as Optimus Prime though.

>>5731781
They're meant to be ugly as sin. It was a 90's thing.

>>5731759
It's come up, a lot of it was back in 2006 when the designs first hit, but also again for TF4, as those designs were a little bit more impossible than normal.

>>5731781
>not liking Transmetals Waspinator.

Now that is shit taste.

>>5731781
With Transmetal 2s,being ugly is the whole point.

As far as regular transmetals,Depth Charge is the most reserved. Waspinator, Cheetor, and Tarantulas are also fairly tame. Megatron,Rampage,Terrorsaur,and Scavenger all emphasize the bioorganic aspect,but arent really ugly. Rhinox and regular transmetal Optimus are really the only ugly ones.

Tbh MP Grimlick works really well on a classics shelf size wise, and overall hes really fun, but there are just so many 3Ps that theres bound to be one that fits most peoples tastes more in some way

People like walky bitch abut g1 characters in BW, but as a kid that was some of the coolest shit ever. I'm too young for G1/G2 so I only knew of Autobots/Decepticons through Beast wars and Machine wars, but the idea of these ancient robots still fighting in a new war just seemed so cool and added so much lore to the series.I didn't even know how Grimlock sounded like until years later, but just having that bio endeared him to me a lot.

Movie Brawl, Bonecrusher, Blackout/Grindor and Starscream.

The first few TF movie lines have some of the best and most detailed. Leader Brawl stands out, though technically his tank mode isn't totally real(its loosely based off an M1 Abrams with more guns and a second turret, because its Michael Bay and all.). That said, its probably the best tank mode out of any TF all things considered.

The weapon is DOTM deluxe Leadfoot's, but in gold. Maybe one of the campaign giveaways?

Reprolabels. Problem solved.

While I will always prefer shuttle mode Blastoff, this looks pretty nice on it;s own merit

everything in moderation

having a g1 reference or two is nice, making everything about g1 when everything else already is is annoying

>Lazy design

Okay. Then show us how it's done properly. Should be a cinch for you since obviously know better than everyone

And in this day and age of 3rd party design, people are putting out transformable toys regularly. So you have no excuse for not doing so yourself

That is unless you're, you know, lazy.

Those who can, do.

Those who can't, shit on those who can.

There's really no such thing as "cheating" when there is no actual rule to break.

No, Darksteel.

Welcome to being a customer of any major company in the past 100 years or more. Heres a tip: Try to relax when you feel it sliding in, you'll bleed less that way and might not need to buy new underwear after.

Real talk, TF Ghostbusters could be interesting.
New crossover TF when? Or did the old SW/Marvel stuff kill it dead?

I had a dream once where there was a 2-part crossover episode of Batman TAS and a g2 cartoon. Megatron turned into one of those fucking art deco sedans and hung out with Rupert Thorn, unbeknownst to Batman Prowl had replaced the Batmobile, and the whole thing actually played up the 'robots in disguise' tag line. Can someone make this happen?

Bot mode reminds me a little of Cybertron Red Alert.

Was Armada Deluxe Thrust any good?

No you don't. Prices in Singapore are cancer tier and the only places you can get jack shit are TRU and department stores. Not only that but they don't stock often and they don't stock well.

I've keep on seeing shitposts like this and one question has always stuck with me

Is it always the same guy doing this?

>>5732204
Doubtful. We all have lives outside /toy/. Except for that one faggot that waits for the thread to hit 310 so he can post a new one.
