Hm?

So how many of you are going to go to Hasbrocon next year with all the bronies/SJWs in attendance, and how many are abandoning the official con to go to unofficial cons from now on?

>unofficial cons tend to be packed full of 3rd party

shit, the Hasbro loyalists just can't fucking win anymore.

>>5734565
From the trippy anniversary episode in Energon that made no sense.

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nekomimi_A_and_Nekomimi_B

>>5734575
Even the SJWs won't touch Hasbrocon, it's going to be 90% bronies and 10% Hasbro loyalists.

>>5734581
>inb4 furry porn artists attend and give half the con STDs

will be funny seeing Kayla-Na there because she's gotten at least 2 C&D letters over selling pony smut in the past.

>>5734491
I believe so, hence I added "3P".

>>5734493
FoC is cool but too tiny. Prime Shockwave has those stupid addon things which look terrible.

>>5734497
Not a fan of Energon and supposedly those have very fragile waist joints.

What I'm looking for is something that can sort of replicate Shockwave's Spotlight feature.

>supposedly those have very fragile waist joints.

I have both Energon Shockblast and Sixshot. They're easily My favorite non-MP Shockwaves. I bought them new during Energon and I have never had them break.

The Legends mini Shockwave is pretty cool figure, too.

>>5734636
Not sure where you're quoting that from, but yeah, it's not a perfect recreation. Honestly, a perfect one wouldn't be possible on those molds (for reasons such as Motormaster only being a cab and not a cab+trailer). Overall though, he's pretty close.

>>5734509

> Fandom aspires for bad repaints and retools.

Transfag Stockholm Syndrome is real.

>>5734647
From the wiki, and the inconsistances have nothing to do with shapes and molds, it's about using the wrong colours, which could have easily been avoided.

>>5734536
I might steal it, if I can find a cheap Shockblast.

Shockwave has so many great toys imo

Cybertron is cool aside from the derp alt modes and fuckhuge cannon

FoC is dope as fuck but tiny, can't wait for that 3P

Legends is amazing

Prime is weirdly styalized but still kickass

Animated deviates a lot from the usual look but is still fun

Movie Shockwave is a def fave of mine, second only to FoC, I'm not a fan of movie looks but that toy is rad

MPs only flaw is that crappy colour

And speaking of MP styles theres Quakewave and Quakeblast, both awesome

Then theres a bunch of other odd 3Ps like that huge ass hearts of steel boat one

>>5734672
>Prime is weirdly styalized but still kickass

I hate my Prime version. The QC is horrible on him, and his arms and legs pop off way too easily.

>>5734672
Does anyone have a idea when the 3P Shockwave is going to be realesed?

>>5734627
>>5734644
The problem with Energon Shockblast isn't his waist joint is fragile, it's that it never locks into place, so his torso feels floppy.

>>5734509
Bravo.

>>5734575
You know that will be ignored the moment exclusives are revealed, even if they're as flawed an expensive as the ones from FunPub.

>>5734509
as much as that is a joke image, I really wish we'd get a proper Sari figure in some form or another(honestly I'm kinda surprised she hasn't been used in a non-Animated continuity yet)

Man he was a great toy.

>>5734815

chugs will homage characters nicely but proportion wise it doesnt walways hit the sweet spot.

Its very subjective and its why I'm trying to steer towards mp's unless there is something I like the mold.

Hence why I own platinum junkion set and mp hot rodimus

>>5736011
If we keep getting redos of characters that already got Classics+ figures,we'll never move on. Very few of those toys are near perfect as is. The floodgates have already been open in the last few years.

>>5736080
I want an update of the Lancia in the new Diaclone line,but ignoring any cartoon influence so its in ape proportions like the origunal toy. Think the Japanese book cover Starship Troopers armor design.

Same goes for a few other G1/Diaclone toys. I love a few of the toys more than the cartoon,and some are distinctive enough as to not be redundant with MPs.

>>5736112
Are there any cool robots in Diaclone which were not brought over in the Transformers line?

I like chunky RtS Wheeljack, but then my memory of the cartoon is fuzzy, and I don't consider it gospel, and in many cases find the cartoon versions inferior.

>>5735973
Eh. Come to think of it, as a moderate fan, I still have a hunger for good "Classics" versions even when a MP comes out, but also often like MPs and can afford them, especially with such high quality KOs of almost every one being made.

I'm fine with RtS Wheeljack, and though I'm mostly fine with RtS Tracks, I wouldn't mind an even better one.

>>5735757
>CW Wheeljack as Tracks
Bleh. No thanks.

I wish they had done a major remolding of the figure so the legs formed the front of the vehicle. It would have been perfect for both Wheeljack and Lightspeed. It would have made such a huge difference. They remolded almost the whole figure anyway.

>>5736109
Even if I would prefer to get a good balance of G1 and cool homages from other lines, I know that G1 will be more popular and sell better.

>>5736054

The biggest personal gaps in my collection, aside from dinobots and beast combiners, are the -masters. No nostalgia for them (or any of g1) but I love most of the headmaster designs and their gimmick.

My backlog of older CHUG stuff is shrinking a ton, though. Only been collecting for a few years but I'm mostly satisfied with my current collection until TW.

>>5736221
As a kid I refused to buy this because I hated the idea of a transformer covered in advertisements. Then I got a 2pack at TRU of him and Sideswipe for $20 and got hooked on Alternators.

You forgot the most obvious answer; Hasbro produces things for a ton of countries,while Takara manufacturers just for one tiny,if densely packed,island. Theres simply more Hasbro toys made,thus a higher chance of running into something with a QC issue.

>>5736302
depends if you like metroplex's design or not, personally I hate his skinny torso and busty ass chest.

>>5736302
Get Metro, has more accesories, playability and accuracy to the original character, Fort doesn't have any weapon or minibot companion, Metro comes with Scamper.

There are 2 3P Metros, both smaller and more expensive.

>>5736322

I don't mind the T shape torso but its very unflattering when looked at from dead on.

Fort Max seems like he's superior in proportions but i've always been shaky on his color scheme. Maybe the Takara version will look better?

>>5736326

More expensive than $300+ USD? Okay i'll keeping digging.

>>5736317

b-b-but what about PE anon-kun

>>5736338
Don't they just do hands that turn into guns and feet that turn into missile packs?

Also, because of the way Combiner Wars was basically just a first and last wave release here, all I've got for my CW Decepticons are Drag Strip, Dead End, Motormaster (the good one, at least) and... erm... Swindle. Who kinda fits, arguably. He's an asshole and he turns into a car-thingy, that makes him close enough to a Stunticon, I'd argue.

>>5736326
Don't Emissary and Cerebros count as minibot partners, or at least Emissary?

Drop this shit already.

>>5736288

>>5736290
Wow. I didn't even remember the original had purple. Now I want purple on an MP version.

I usually hate red with blue, but the red is so minimal that I don't mind at all. Such tasteful color balance.

I'm curious if there's any science behind tastes in color schemes. I know people have different opinions, but do they break down into biological imperatives? Do people with an education in art have a richer appreciation and have more "refined" tastes or is that just elitist justification?

>>5736288
I'm Chaotic Descent, not that it matters.

>>5736348
They are the same character just with upgrades, if you count them as companion then you could say that Fortress has weapons unplugging his shin cannons.

>>5736322
I love that torso style. ... it's on the Bruticus toy as well.

I'd grab Fort Max before the market prices go up. At Least Metroplex is already gone up in price. I regret not getting a Takara 'plex in addition to Hasbro, but at least I got that.

>>5736309
TFCon in the north-east is fine. Large enough. No idea how the US one is, but the "Toronto" one is decent. Location sucks for poorfags like me who bus, but I'm probably in the minorities.

>>5736429
Education in art just means you've spent a lot of time minutely focused on colors and how they interact. That may lead to more refined tastes and more intentionally thought-out opinions.

But the good ol' color wheel and the rules of color compliments and clashes don't come from nowhere. People who study this stuff (obviously not all toy designers) know that there are color combinations that will tend to satisfy people, and others that look like a sour musical chord sounds.

You don't have to be formally educated to appreciate color interaction, though. All you have to do is pay attention to it enough, and you'll start to work out for yourself what you think works and what doesn't. A lot of toy collectors and model builders just pick stuff up on their own.

Or they'll see where someone has added a custom paint app to change a color a few shades in one direction or another, and you realize "Holy shit, it's the same color, but that version of the same color looks a lot better!"

You can draw your own conclusions about whether it's biological or not, but there's plenty of literature out there about color psychology.

>>5736462
Well, for example, I know that the theory behind colors having certain "emotions" is made-up.
... Huh. I guess I was partially wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology
I just remember reading an article saying that it was made-up, probably after reading an article that said it was legit.

I'll see if I can search the internet, though I've always been horrible at research and web searches. I'll try "color theory" after reading that earlier wikipedia article in full.

Like, I wonder why I LOVE those "European"/"G2" color schemes so much, yet there are many people who find them hideous.

>Or they'll see where someone has added a custom paint app to change a color a few shades in one direction or another, and you realize "Holy shit, it's the same color, but that version of the same color looks a lot better!"
Huh. I misinterpreted what you said, but I know also that colors beside other colors change how we see those colors, so they appear to be a different hue or brightness. I wonder how that factors into color schemes.

Pretty much this. At some point it becomes very difficult to modify the existing figure. There have been a few {that IDW Prime one, and another one that does a similar job in lengthening the legs}, but they haven't been to make it like Motormaster. and of course there's no way to make it like the original with cab legs.

I'm pretty interested to see how that IDW Menasor set comes out.

>>5736502
I don't give a shit about making it more like the original robot mode, I hated that. I'm more interested in general improvements to lengthen the torso or give better hands and feet, then fold those up into a grey box with wheels on it that I can plug onto the conspicuous hole on the back of Motormaster's vehicle mode.

Only one I might be dissapointed in is the helicopter dude in wave 2 being a grey head, the black in the anime was the better choice but I'm not breaking up the crew over that

>>5737115
There are also two wings that come down on those treads. These photos are a disaster. They're worse than normal.

>>5737114
The way I look at it, it's going to be a Sentinel Prime/Astrotrain thing, where they put the characters they want to trick people into buying out before the ones people want.

So guys like Brawn are probably somebody else later.

>>5737133
If guys like sentinel prime had more remolds going on I'd hit that.

Its just a head and color swap

Does this mean it's probably moving but hasn't been scanned again? Or is it just hanging out in San Francisco since Tuesday?

Sometimes shit gets "stuck" in a distro center for a few days. If it's past the expected delivery date, call USPS custserv and ask them where your package is and what it's doing sitting in bumfuck nowhere.

Right, fuck it, its nearly half past 3 here but I'm gonna start a discussion

>TR head connections

Might as well put that over priced fort max to some good use, ok so this is where the "titan master" heads sit inside, that's a peg, sorta springy but that's because of the electronics for the sound fx activate upon pushing.

So yes, the titan master heads (as we all know) do endure a certain amount of friction inside when connected, but will it affect the face paint of the TR figure?

Also yes that's Emissary sitting on top, there is a peg there, and the peg holes on the bottom of the TR figures are TIGHT, over time either those pegs will snap or the peg holes on the bottom of the feet are gonna be worn as fuck, get some sticky tack ready for fantasy players.

>>5737217
Thing is while the TR heads do have a snug fit the actual face and (more importantly) the bodies are not affected by the friction, Emissary's forehead is wider out than the face so that will rub, but the face has *just* a smidge of space preventing rub action.

One thing that bothers me is the head of the TR figure MUST be facing towards the robot mode's chest, so when you flip his legs you must always rotate the head around.

Otherwise the design prevents any sort of paint rub related damage, so those getting takara galvatron are safe knowing tiny megatron's paint apps are safe unless they pull a fast one and change the grey on the head figure into painted silver, the black on the legs and red on the chest are safe since the robot mode legs just fold over

>>5737217
>>5737222

Biggest concern for me is will the HM's head snap like a twig since it's essentially acting as the neck for the giant-ass combiner head that is Cerebros?

>>5737222
Like so, legs left out so people who aren't aware know.

Also, incase you weren't aware, its not the head socket that rotates, the next is infact the titan master head, you could spin around the robot mode head backwards and pull it out leaving out the task of spinning the titan master figure alone (although you just did that with the "next" rotation, derp).

So, its not paint rub that may be a problem, but ruining the balljoint of the little head dude, so take it easy, once it breaks off the head dude can't form the head

>>5737227
It does have a big of wiggle room allowing the formed head to look slightly up and down, just don't smash that HEAD ON and when you pull up pull straight up.

If the balljoint for the titan master head cracks you'd be pretty much fucked, you can glue it together and shit but any head off action may cause damage, as an obvious adult I can say this is safe, but for the minimum age of 8 I give the toy 3 months

It seems like I evaded the question of damage of being in fort max head mode but this adds to it, if Emissary's head breaks the whole thing is fucked, its not the cerebros head you need to worry about that's for sure (though you can ruin the look of the sides of cereboro's head if you somehow fuck up the ball joints for Emissary's arms, they're ball joints but the ball sticks out on a peg so be aware he ain't doing any arms out wide posing, once you feel resistance STOP)

If there are any more questions I may return in 7 or so hours after I get some sleep, maybe, we all know what fort max is like

>>5737242
You know what I think we should all do? Go out and buy a couple of the $5 titan master packs and put the strain on some shitty nightbeats.

>>5737192
>these updates
Not your blog b

>>5737269
Sadly not, too costly buying a literal brick, I tend to buy newer and newer figures while avoiding buying g1 toys and relying on the existing g1 figures for that purpose.

Therefore, babies first maximus is mine too

>>5737272
I hate to advocate it since I work in retail but you'd be supporting them if you buy them.

Break the head master ONLY from the pack and do as you please leaving the vehicle alone, that way they'd reduce the figure cost and peg warm preventing the company sending more to the shop.

Then do as you please, just saying, frankly I want Ashens from youtube to review them and blow torch the hasbro ones for kicks

>>5737282
No I meant use shitty single pack titanmasters to form the FortMax neck so that if they break you aren't fucked out of the guy you can only get in the fortmax pack.

>>5737288
Not a bad plan actually, thats the reason I never transform my Brainstorm despite loving both modes. You could use a nobody (hehe pun) for the neck and have maxs real mini dude piloting a gun or something

>>5737263
Btw hows cerebros? Im honestly super excited just for him, looks rad and i want to pose him with Rodimus passing on the matrix

>>5737272
What the fuck? Why?

>>5737115
>pretty sure they're supposed to ride them
They're actually not. They ride one mode in robot mode, and integrate into the other mode. Notice how the headmaster has little fins on his legs there? They're supposed to be the jet vehicle's rear fins.

>>5737301
Can you not read? Anon said he thinks fortmax's head runs the risk of snapping off at the ball joint of emissary's neck, so instead of using emissary I suggested to use an easily replaceable figure. If Nightbeat, the shittiest titanmaster, breaks you can buy another shitty Nightbeat to use. If Emissary breaks you're fucked out of an exclusive figure.

>>5737306

Bingo. Fuck Nightbeat and the others, they're not part of a $150 set, they're $5 shits meant to replace Hardhead's head when little Timmy hucks the fucker under the couch and mom vacuums him up a week later.

>>5737302
This is correct. They're also supposed to lay down for the weapon mode, making them a pseudo target master.

To each there own, hes far from perfect, but Motormaster looks like a dork imo and this guy fits that bill

>>5737481

Yeah, I once had a package sit in a distro for a fucking week, and it went past the delivery date. Phoned USPS, they got back to me by the next day and suddenly, surprise surprise, my package was moving along.

tl;dr The USPS is a bunch of lazy cunts at times, and follow no logic whatsoever. I can get shit from California in 4 days but it'll take a week and a fucking half for some shit 2 states away, both same shipping speed.

>>5737487
Thats one of those things that bugs me when ordering from amazon

Everything you buy from them always ships in about two days, but if you dont pay for the two day shipping they just leave it sitting around the distrobution center for a while before shipping it

Youre really paying for which pile it goes in, not the shipping speed. Pay more/have prime? Goes in the today pile. If not goes in the next week pile

I'm getting Crashbash and Apeface because purple animal cons are my drug.

The rest of them, I'll probably skip unless I see some super convincing reviews.

>>5737495

Amazon does that just to push Prime.

The USPS does it just because they're inept/lazy/suffering from severe underfunding/genuinely do not give a fuck/playing kickball with your box.

>>5737480
>Buy this shit you don't want, so we can make more shit you don't want! OR ELSE

>>5737513

But thats a lie. We already know the stuff we want (Astrotrain, Voyager IDW Megs, Blitzwing from him probably, etc) is going to be coming. So you don't have to even think about shelfwarming shit like Sentinel Prime even existing.

>>5737534
>implying buying bodyless Legends is what fuels the full figures

>>5737548
John Warden told me at Botcon that they won't make a Squeezeplay body unless all Crashbashes and Stripes sell out.

>>5736302
There's an OS KO of Maketoys Utopia coming out pretty soon unless it was cancelled. It'll be the same size as gen metro but THICC and with better articulation.

>>5737548

Heres the thing though. We already know who we're not getting. So theres no point in thinking buying X figure will make Y appear. Just like buying Sentinel won't make Astrotrain disappear, because we know we're getting him for sure.

So as usual, you skip anything you don't want, buy what you do, and it has no impact on anything.
