Voyager.
Big enough to tower over the manlet deluxes and hopefully thicc enough to not be overdone by the bruisers and huge guys.

On a side note, when the fuck are we gonna get upscaled IDW Megs, or a 3rd party adaptation of the design? This thing is fucking great.

>>5732228
Voyager is my favorite size for Megatron. I like leader figures because the child in me thinks that the bigger the toy the better but CW Megatron doesn't fit in well with my generations display.

>>5732228

Voyager is the correct answer.

Glad we got this coming down the pipeline, I hope it's not shit. I liked the Combiner Wars Leader a whole lot but he shoulders were so weird and I have no idea why.

>>5732228
An unusually large deluxe. That way we can have Voyagers to represent Cons bigger than Megs and still have the average deluxe smaller than him

Ultra, the former $20 sized figures, was the perfect size for the leaders. Big enough to stand over deluxes and basics, big enough for plenty of gimmicks and details while still being small enough to be perfectly playable.

Modern voyagers try to be that, but they're just a bit smaller and less developed, although that's mostly because of the way Hasbro has pushed the line.

>>5732248
I really want to like this but it's a bit top heavy for me. That said it will undoubtedly become my go to Megs for some time, I just hope it looks better in hand.

>>5732228

Leader or MP sized are the best size classes for him, so MP Prime has something to fool around with.

That just a poor naming choice, but leader is really more suited for huge guys

consider it this way

Bombshell - legends little guys
Sideswipe - deluxe your avarage bot
Springer - Voyager kinda tall but not biggun
Megatron / Blitzwing - Ultra dudes who are really big but not fuckhuge
Ultra Magnus / Grimlock - leaders big ass mothers

That scheme would just work perfectly for me

>>5732264
Sadly we dont know exactly, just that its a type of tank, cant wait for the reveal to get a 3p version

Autobot Megatron has not transformed once.

Ultra got bumped up to the 30 price point,which was nice. Universe Onslaught,for example.
voyager to leader is too big of a price/size jump.

We just stuck to the names we used in Cybertron because that was the most recent full line before the movie; and we didn't want to confuse newfags. UT naming of size classes changed every year and was stupid. It just stuck out of happening to coincide with the movie line.

Unrelated, since getting Deluxe Groove, I've put Rook on my Sky Reign team as an arm, which adds to his BEEF factor. I also took Prowl and replaced Streetwise as he matches Groove as a limb. I've also kept Legends Groove on and renamed him Autobot Beat.

If you are worried about it, get it, and get a regular Prime and put the armor bits on it and leave the clear one as a display piece.

>>5732519
It's a good figure, has more play value than the normal one. Only flaws really is an issue with the mold itself (the waist can be loose because of the gimmick, and hollow forearms), and that the hammer is inferior in comparison to the proper hammer that came with Leader Ultra Magnus.

Pretty sure I saw somebody on the BST selling one

He's going to be a triple changer tank/plane if the rumors are right, so he probably needs the hollow legs to flip around and fold up.

lol, is this the japanese equivalent of Leifield? trying too hard.

Did they raise the price on deluxe Transformers again?

>>5732698
If you mean for Titans Return, they should be the same price as Combiner Wars according to the displayed prices at BotCon. No one honestly knows until the figures get released since the pre-orders on TF sites are probably markups to hit collectors.

Deluxe's and Legends I think scale the best with most stuff. Voyagers and above are too big in terms of messing about with other random toys.

>>5732838
First Edition Starscream was honestly way too tall.
>complains about a toy being too big

>>5732838
>>5732841
Agreed. Deluxes and Legends should be the norm, then Voyagers are for bigger dudes and Leaders for massive fucking guys.
>>5732859
It would have been the perfect size if Prime and Megs were both Voyagers

>>5732860

To be fair, they are the norm. Theres way more Legends & Deluxes than the rest.

>>5732864
Yeah, but the recent CHUG stuff adds lots of Voyager figures, which messes with everything

>>5732866

They usually are bigger dudes though, like Optimus/Blitzwing/the TR Megs/etc.

I don't mind occasional off-size releases either, like Leader SW/Blaster that'er coming soon, and the Leader CW Megs was great in terms of looks and almost the right scale for MP-10 Prime.

>>5732869
Yee but as I said earlier, Optimus/Megatron should be about the size of a larger deluxe. So guys like the upcoming Triple Changer voyagers and the CW cores mess that up a little

Leader SW and Blaster tick me off a bit in terms of scale though

I hope they got another, smaller figure somewhere down the line. It makes sense to have them be Leaders to work with Legends tapes, but they are too big in comparison to everyone else.

Although Soundwave wouldn't look too out of place with CW Megatron and the Leader Seekers.

If you guys didn't know already LG-Ultra Magnus is 50% off in HLJ.

>>5732927
Fucking Australia. CW Starscream is everywhere still, Thundercracker and Skywarp long gone. Legends Skywarp still widely available, like he's the spastic little brother of the seekers.

As for me, I personally question why takara haven't gotten to selling the hands and feet as stand alone parts yet, or is the promise of a low price point from the official company not enough to deter what works?

>mfw Battle Begins Optimus Prime is your favourite TFA Optimus figure.

Any fellow Australian's on?

Friendly reminder big w's toy sale is on this Thursday, Victorion goes for $149aud (normal price as of right this moment was $169aud).

If you didn't go through premium collectables for their price this is your best bet, most stores also have fort max for $249 (which is regular price), if you REALLY want fort max do what I'm doing, and WAIT for him to go on clearance.

You buy fort max now you're either buying him as a present or little timmy won't stop crying, good chance takara fort max will go on clearance too unless they pull a fast one and give us the master sword.

Also, opinions, I wasn't too much into Victorion and could of gotten the set cheaper, but now I'm tempted, its a new combiner, all retools, with new hands and feet.

I have no attachment to the toy, nor any love for the hands, feet or colors, but simply the desire to collect, should I at LEAST wait to see if she goes on clearance or should I cave in this thursday?

>>5733036

>>5732273
>I'm not sure I believe they're going to make another Blitzwing so soon

They're making another Brainstorm already, and the previous Brainstorm wasn't actually garbage, unlike Blitzwing.

>>5733039
Well I seen vic only in VIC ironically enough but only one out of 3 stores I've checked.

Keep checking, and here's a tip, there is so much crap in this sale including that big ass bomber thing they spread it out all over the stores, I saw some of those large monster truck toys in the clothing department, I'm just lucky to have Victorion and Fort Max next to the registers (I must of kept walking past, they weren't there the other day I went in)

Otherwise be nice to the staff and ask if any stores are willing to transfer any stock, just keep checking and if you're desperate rush into all available big w stores as soon as they open Thursday.

The oz transformers website keeps track of the sightings, which means we aren't the only ones watching, maybe scalpers too if they're smart.

>>5733028
Yeah the colors on Hasbro sort of kills it. Which is funny because Hasbro's is much more accurate to the toy. I prefer the Hasbro head though, and of course the hands and feet.

Takara Nosecone completely seals the deal for me though. The altmode is so much better than the Hasbro one, even though the Hasbro one is far and away more accurate to the original robot mode. Rook is just a better mold than Brawl, though it's a shame about the head and lack of a red cockpit on Nip Nosecone.

>>5733042
Cheers man

>>5733049
Why do you like red superion head for?

Its bad enough the toy was engineered from superion but wanting a different character with the same head again?

I don't understand

What I find funny is that we never got a basic/scout Bumblebee. Oh, they'll screw around making some minicars huge (Powerglide, Seaspray), some tiny (Brawn), some at multiple sizes (Warpath), etc...

>>5733085
Being so iconic (or rather, forced) they couldn't get him smaller than the legion sized one, the biggest apart from the movie ones and adventure is the generations deluxe.

You realize that the LAST Brainstorm was a Headmaster too, right?

>Blitzwing's figure IS garbage
Yeah, I agree. Which is why he needs a second go. This also means that both Astrotrain and Blitzwing will be headmasters. I don't much care for the gimmick but at least they'll match.

>>5732439

Can't wait for Legends Kickback. Especially if they give him a cockpit like Wheelie has.

What he meant was the gommick of changing heads between characters ala scramble city, Gen Brainstorm isn't compatible.

>>5733189
Actually that was supposed to read
>Blitzwing isn't garbage except for his arm problems

>>5733199
Bingo, Brainstorm exists as a retool (pretool?) of Blurr just to get a Brainstorm that's compatible with all the other headmasters, in both that he can swap heads with them and that he isn't towering over there. He wasn't an afterthought, and I like the new deluxe, but he's clearly the least accurate to the original of the bunch what with the Blurr shield weapon and all. Probably because they didn't give a rat's ass about him and he's just here to round out the line up.

>>5733194
What else are in the rumors other than Kickback, Getaway, Rodimus, G2 Prime and Broadside?

I have an honest question.

Why do we keep thinking voyager TR prime will get retooled into octane, another rumor?

If its from same source, then let me then ask, why do we think big shoulder pads are associated with octane?

Just because the universe toy had them doesn't mean all of them should, but that's just my nit picking

>>5733248
Say what you want about Action Masters but they had some of the best head sculpts.

>>5733252
The idea in most anons' minds is that the shoulder parts flip out to look like Octane's wings. Since we haven't seen the vehicle mode we have no real idea what part of the truck they come from so they could be might look more like wings on an Octane mold.

>>5733253
You know, I wouldn't mind them bringing action masters back, though after what they did with those movie action figures I have a bad feeling my wish would be ruined

>>5733256
Bit short for that purpose aren't they?

>>5733252
>If its from same source, then let me then ask, why do we think big shoulder pads are associated with octane?

same reason why astrotrain's train altmode now has two ends instead of just the front end

>>5733252
>Why do we keep thinking voyager TR prime will get retooled into octane, another rumor?
Because it is expected considering the retools we have gotten. Blurr is being retooled into a spacecraft. Its not too farfetched.

At least the robot mode is pretty accurate to him, no compaints about that.

Lets think like this, generations toys just reinvented past characters with acute likeness into newer vehicle modes, like scourge and those stealth wing fighters or galvatron into that tank, they homage the robot modes well but gives updated vehicle mode choices.

Astrotrain works in this regard just like the old deluxe, from bullet train to space shuttle, now its 2 ended diesel train with train cannon to space shuttle.

So far the only astrotrains that go from "perfect" shuttle to steam train modes are 3p's and their rears and horrible.

>>5733252
The Prime mold is a voyager, all voyagers are triplechangers in the TR line, Prime main altmode is a truck, the only other classic triplechanger with a truck altmode is Octane.

Remember of course, that since this is all unrevealed items, take this with a grain of salt, as we do when we usually get rumours of this kind. Not only that these are subject to a persons point of view, but there have been many occurences of Hasbro not releasing a product that was being developed. Now onto the latest rumours of toys that might come out at the tail end of 2016 or in 2017:


>Headmaster Laser Prime which looks to be inspired by both Star Convoy and G2 Prime.
>Headmaster Triplechanger Megatron which can turn into a jet and a tank. Will probably be used for Blitzwing.
>Getaway as a repaint of Chromedome.
>Headmaster Triggerhappy (his G1 toy was a Targetmaster).
>Headmaster Hot Rod
>Headmaster Triplechanger Alpha Trion (while we have seen the art for this toy, Chainclaw did expand on the vehiclemode looking like Vector Prime's).
>Headmaster Weirdwolf
>Headmaster Doublecross
>Magnus Prime, which is a blue redeco of Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus, as a reference to the Diaclone Ultra Magnus.
>Tidal Wave which may share the mold with Broadside. Probably a triple changer and thus a voyager headmaster.
>Decepticon Clones made up of components looking like the Predaking ones. For example there was a Horri-Bull which could double as Tantrum.
>Legends Sharkticon (Gnaw)
>Legends Reflector (Shockwave redeco)
>Legends Kickback
>Legends Brawn
>SDCC Fort Max comes with Red Sword. This was already hinted at in a previous leak which mentioned an exclusive sword.

>>5733287
>Okay, I saw a Headmaster Star Convoy / Laser Prime from G2. It pretty much looks like Star Convoy, except that star-ish shaped yellow thing on his chest looks blockier, like a letter T. And his shoulders are very Laser Prime, sticking up high, with two circle things on the front of each one. In truck mode he's long nosed, but red. Not black with red flames.
>Just as Sentinel Prime was obviously Astrotrain, Headmaster Megatron is obviously Blitzwing, but with a Megatron head. You can see his tank turret on his back, and jet fins on his ankles. He comes with two guns which merge to form his big cannon that can plug into his arm. Megatron's head looks very G1 in head mode. In "Nebulon" mode it has a red torso, and grey limbs.
>Chromedome's getting repainted as Getaway. Head looks G1.
>Triggerhappy is a headmaster who looks very G1.
>Hot Rod is a headmaster who looks G1 in vehicle mode. Robot mode looks vaguely IDW to me. Small waste. Long thinghs. Big hexagonal kneepads with vents in them.
>Alpha Trion's a triple changer. Beast Mode is a wolf with a unicorn horn (I have no idea why). Jet mode looks very Vector Prime.
>Weirdwolf looks good. Very G1.
>Powermaster Prime is getting a Diaclone repaint, so it's a blue COE truck. They seem to be calling it Magnus Prime or something along those lines (I can't remember for sure). Odd, since it's not white.
>Tidal Wave seems to be coming back (investor art, photoshopped, rough). Looks like it'll share a mold with Broadside. Vehicle mode seems to be USS Flagg homage. Part of "strength series". Tidal Wave's head is called Powerhouse. Grey body. Green limbs.

>>5733289
>Decepticon Clones. Looked to me like they have a Predaking. And the D-clones were Predaking parts. Same with Horri-Bull.
>Sharkticon looks very round and G1.
>Technobots look like you'd expect. But Afterburner is weird. Instead of making him G1, or just an orange Takara Groove, he's got this really long warped/bent windshield. It looks awkward to me. But that was my only complaint from everything I saw.
>SDCC Fort Max comes with red sword. Has blue hands, instead of white.

So, any rumors for the next masterpiece after inferno and cheetor?

Any particular wishes?

I would love some proper triple changers, the 3p's are attractive but something always seems off on each one even the up coming blitzwing 3ps, other than that galvatron and megatron 2.0.

Although I sadly doubt those will come unless they can get reused, even megatron mp-05 got a recolor just to make use for that shitty mold, what could they do to reuse galvatron?

We all know shockwave will get redeco'd into shackwave as his diaclone variant, if you can call it that

We've seen Laser Prime, Hot Rod, Alpha Trion, Weirdwolf, Doublecross, Getaway, and the Technobots.

We've also seen a teaser for Overlord and art of Sixshot, but those toys haven't even shown up yet in rumors so they're a long way away.

I find Gnaw to be interesting, since he and Brawn were both teased way back when the Legends were being packed with Targetmasters (specifically they were advertised as "Gnaw with Gnash and Brawn with Mudslinger.") Unfortunately it's unlikely we get their partners. It's also likely that they're going to be molds similar to the other Legends of that time, so no thigh swivels ala Shockwave.

Worst case scenario is he's a triple changing Voyager. I don't really see beast parts in the art, though, so he might not have all his modes. There are tank treads, though.

Interesting. So we're getting a Pounce and Wingspan that make Divebomb and Rampage and/or Razorclaw, and presumably a body for Terri-Bull that can be Tantrum, and maybe even double as Headstrong too.

If they're being released as Deluxes that means the Combiner Wars play pattern might be continuing with Headmasters. Razorclaw might be a Voyager, even a retooling of Sky Lynx.

Throw some longer forelegs on there and remove the wings and you'd have a serviceable Sinnertwin too.

Aren't Titan Wars deluxes bigger than CW deluxes though? That would mean Predaking would be taller than all the other combiners. You might be able to get an Abominus out of them too.

Not really "competing", more like domesticated versions, much like blue ray region locks or localized games, in this case its kinda like fire emblem's censorship.

They only seem like they're competing because everyone has access to what the other can buy domestically, least not without some butthurt.

Funny, I feel the same way about Brawl being the best Nosecone, even with all the remold Rook doesn't look like him at all, I went for the takara set and will be getting a Brawl to customize as Nosecone, already have custom hands and feet for the combiner.

>>5733417
They homage who's they're supposed to pretty well in their own right, hasbro for toy, takara for cartoon.

But lets be honest, best overall combined form goes to takara because of the amounts of retooling done showing effort over lots of "promising" paint apps.

Same can be said about the bot modes but their striking colors help

To be fair the Takara version has the superior accessories, and the benefits of the unified cartoon color scheme over the more haphazard toy ones. I'm going with Takara but there are a lot of things that are either superior or at least comparable with the Hasbro one.

Ideally we'd get the Takara colors and accessories with the Hasbro Strafe Lightspeed molds.

I'm speaking about the botmode, Brawn Rook...Brook looks great, but hes missing the tread arms and I hate the hanging treads on his chest.

>>5733423
I was about to post this. There's just no winning with Nosecone; Hasbro's looks the closest but Takara's got the more accurate head (which I think looks pretty crappy, but eh.) I guess they don't paint the Cockpit on the Takara version because it wasn't painted in the cartoon, but it looks much better on the toy.

What's weird about the Takara versions is that they go to great pains to replicate color placements on their toys, but the molds literally look nothing like the originals, so the homages tend to fall flat.

Let's be real here, though; Takara nosecone will be the better toy, unless they fix Brawl's waist.

In a just world we'd get a fixed Brawl with the same little drillgun thing that the Hasbro one has, but with the drill cut off and replaced with a peg for the Takara one. Put a couple pegholes on the sides of his turret for the Takara side guns and splash some white paint on his chest and you'd be pretty good to go.

Ideally we'd have never got the Breakdown mold ever because it's just fucking unacceptable, and then get a remolded Dead End that looks like a concept car from the eighties with the new guns but we are stuck with a repainted Wheeljack that looks really similar to Lightspeed.

>>5733437
Paint it.
If you ignore the colors, Takara's looks the most accurate.

>>5733437
Nosecone was never a recolored Brawl and tank with the cannon replaced with a drill, they're both inaccurate.

>>5733306
It seems they are at least prepared to do this, as Star Saber has those ports in the arches of his feet

What's the verdict on the war between CW and UW Computron?

>>5733457
It's no worse a arm than any other mold.

>>5733390
Just still the Voyager Tidal Wave in the back of the combined altmode of the first Tidal Wave mold to make a bigger Tidal Wave.

>>5733449
Fucking look at the toys, dude. Nosecone's drill is supposed to be placed higher than Takara's, he's got a little red cockpit, and a big splash of yellow that hangs off his back. In bot mode his arms are treads and he's got a standard skinny body.

Takara Rook has a big Hulk body and treads on his legs, has a giant drill that's low to the ground, and has a big splash of brown on his back. Takara is objectively less accurate.

>>5733453
He's fucked anyway.
The only good ones that will come out of it are Guyhawk and Hellbat.

>>5733449
If you only want a drilltank and a shin for Computron the Brook works, if you want the botmode character then the cw has the right body, still needs the uw head tho

>>5733464
And Hasbro's Nosecone is just as inaccurate in alt mode, with smaller drill than the original toy and no big propeller on the back of the tank like the original.
Plus the chest was off color in robot mode.
So that makes it just as inaccurate, objectively speaking.

Really, in the end it comes to preference.

The Leader Class was the name used in Cybertron when the three figures released in it were respective leaders of their planets/factions.

For some reason Hasbro kept the naming scheme for the first movie instead of changing it, so we've thus had those class names stick for over a decade now.

>>5733566
Both are inaccurate true, one has a similar altmode, the other a similar botmode, for me, botmode has priority. I'll be getting the takara set and customizing an extra brawl as Nosecone.

>>5733601
but Takara's vehicle mode isn't similar at all. The only thing close is the treads. The entire upper part of the vehicle mode is wrong; Hasbro's is actually much closer.

>>5733603
Takara has the thrusters, the better proportioned drill, the extra guns, the head, and a somewhat more proper cab.
All Hasbro has for itself is the thread arms since they couldn't even give Curry-flavored Brawl a new head.

>>5733532
That sounds so fucking stupid that it has to be true.

>>5733782
>better proportioned drill

because nosecone's drill was always the size of his whole body, right?

>All Hasbro has for itself is the thread arms
you mean the PRIMARY DEFINING FEATURE OF THE CHARACTER?

>>5733804
>because nosecone's drill was always the size of his whole body, right?
Yes.
>>5733423
See the toy.

>you mean the PRIMARY DEFINING FEATURE OF THE CHARACTER?

I thought he was autistic or something.

>It is a nerds get angry at each other for two interpretations that emphasize different aspects episode

>>5733828
Really? I just call that Tuesday.

>>5733828
I don't know why he cares that much about the arms.
Takara Nosecone is the better toy and it gives you the option of giving Computron a drill arm instead of coming with some flaccid, goofy drill gun.

>>5732859
>>5732886
i honestly like the voyager more, much nicer headsculpt

>>5733168
its funny when you realize that Big Convoy is the only Optimus who's similar to movie Optimus, personality wise.

They're both one man armies who kick ass and take no prisoners. Though movie Prime has a more murderous intent..

>>5733848
I also like the voyager more, but I don't like the size class as much in general. The Beast Hunter version is actually not bad, and has a size that scales better with the rest of the Decepticons. Too bad its feet are total shit.

>>5733422
Here's my only complaint with the UW set, why not remold Scattershot's shoulders instead of his stupid kneepads? those knees are barely noticable

>>5732961
>skywarp long gone

wut. There are Skywarps everywhere here. No Starscreams ever.

>>5733860
Maybe that would be over budget? I agree though, it'd be cool if he could have his shoulder mounted guns like on the g1 figure.

it's a resin statue made by Alan Moriguchi, the guy who designed EM Gokin Roadbuster

On top of it being a resin statue, it was only sold at last year's Wonderfestival

it even comes with the sword he used in Victory, cause everyone in Victory had a melee weapon

>>5733416
>and won't you end up paying more than you should if you to replace one with a custom?
Nah. Once I buy the tools they'll add just a couple of cents to anything I custom or build since they are not going to be used for a single custom and I'm starting to get into plamo anyways.

>Scattershot
no chest retooling on robot mode and no chest AND head retooling in torso mode

>Afterburner
WTF is with the random red and beige?

>Streetwise
Do I even need to comment on this one? Literally Streetwise in different colors. The Dead End mold being better than Wheeljack's mold is completely fucking moot if it doesn't even look like the character.

>Nosecone
Literally Brawl but with an awkward dinky drill.

>Strafe
Too many aerialbot parts still left that are visible in robot mode. Kibble isn't as accurate as Takara's and the alt mode is trash because of the undercarriage. Only good if you have a raging hard on for the toy head.

The only redeeming part of this set is Scrounge. Hands/feet? Who the fuck cares, I can easily get the PE ones that are more articulated and form extra weapons anyway

The Hasbrofags deluding themselves that this is better than Takara's is hilarious. Even if you don't have a connection to Computron you still get more new toy for going with Takara rathee than guys you already own in different colors.

So I've been wanting to paint the wheels on some of my figures, what would be the best paint to get?

>>5734110
Silver.

It's alright that you're too poor to afford the superior Computron, Hasbrocuck.

>>5734154
Takaracucks are so used to relying on sunk cost fallacy that they actually feel like they have to defend the money they haven't even spent yet.

Incredible.

>>5733861
Maybe we should do a trade

>>5734154
Thing is superior Computron is only like $25 more.

>>5734175
Which makes it especially sad that they can't afford the superior Computron.

Maybe they would have enough money if they didn't buy Beta Bravo, Awfulroad, and Rip Off.

We've had an Animated mold retooled to pass for a CHUG figure. Are there any Movie molds that could go the same way with enough (or even minimal) retooling?

>>5734327
Pretty much any non-movie characters from RotF, as well as the ones from Hunt for the Decepticon lines blur the line between CHUG and Movie enough to work with.

See Lugnut, Lockdown, Bludgeon.

RTS wasn't a movie line though, pretty sure everyone considers him to be a chug figure already since even Takara released him in their mainline.

>>5734398
It's a mixture of movie line and classics. It's essentially a part of HFTD which was part of ROTF.

>>5734327
Dotm Comettor could be a Chug easily enough. Really just gotta change his head and paint him yellow or green and he could be a whole host of characters.

So do I get Hasbro Bruticus or Takara Bruticus

>>5734423
Takara

>>5734423
Hasbro, so there's more Takara Bruticus for us.

>>5734423
For once I'm actually going to say Hasbro. Takara's paintjobs aren't very good this time round and Shuttle Off looks obese in arm mode

>>5734083
The Hands/Feet are def better than the shit PE option

Overall an inferior set to the Takara one though

>>5734423
Hasbro, more toy familiarity, a perfect bruticus would be hasbro onslaught with takara bruticus head, tak brawl. tak swindle and tak vortex with tak blastoff with hasbros brown color.

Or wait for Valdigus/Ruination

>>5734427
>>5734432
>>5734433
>>5734452
>>5734451

Hasbro Brut is on sale in my area right now, ~$13 a limb and $22 for onslaught. Meanwhile Takara Brut is like 9k before shipping. Is he really worth double the price?

>>5734460
But the g2 doesn't resonate with me

>>5734462
Get hasbro if the Blastoff jet doesn't bother you, that's really the only major difference.

>>5734462
Do you LOVE the takara deco and need Blastoff to be a shuttle? no one can decide for you if the Takara is worth the price.

>>5734462
>>5734466
Also, if you plan on getting Takara Computron down the road? If so, you'll be exposed to a version of the Blast Off mold and it won't be as big of a loss here.

>>5734466
>>5734467

It kind of does. But shuttle blast off's chest is too big so it's kind of like a trade off that cancels out. I do prefer the Onslaught and Vortex color scheme on the Takara.. but again, for double the price.. i don't know.

>>5734469
There's enough variation for me to probably get both Computrons

>>5734423
Takara because it doesn't come with Rip Off.

>>5734485
I would say Foc or Prime is the best but Prime Shockwave has Bad hip Rachets.

Fucking shame you can only get this as a set, and not individually. I'd very much like to mix and match without having to spend $200+ dollarydoos on both sets just to do so.
