Why can't the movieverse do anything right? If it took twenty years and a line reboot to get Beast Wars Masterpieces, how long until this fucker gets some love? Was it worth getting Starsaber instead?

Last thread >>5737948
>>
>>5740015
speaking of that fucker, does anyone know where I can get new rubber tires for mine? My Optimus Prime from that set had some shitty quality tires and they rotted the fuck off within a year. Mine has been without tires for 14 or so years now... I'd like some new ones, plastic, rubber, whatever really.
>>
>>5740018
Thanx!

If you wanted, I could switch my request for just 1 character, but it's up to you.
>>
>>5740015
>how long until this fucker gets some love? Was it worth getting Starsaber instead?

The same designer who handled the Fanvote MP designed that Omega Prime figure in the first place. Besides, its already near perfect, and the toy looks way cooler than the animé model they'd try and base it off of.

eh, just not having SFC's huge ladder alone helps the articulation a lot. He also has articulated hands, and I think he has ankle rockers.

One of my fav Transformer memories: Already had Super Fire Convoy, but a year or so later saw the Prime/Magnus box set at Costco for 30 USD.

Shit was so cash. I could display Convoy and Omega Prime both at the same time.

Just balance it better. I've had mine since I was 10 and it hasn't toppled over. Git gud.

So, tonight I was in Toys'R US, once again looking (in vain) for a Combiner Wars Sky Lynx, when an employee comes up. He tells me that we heard that they're "getting some Beast Wars toys soon, which we haven't had in like 20 years".

Should I assume that was bullshit, or does he know something we don't?
>>
>>5740119
I think you're just now getting the Rattrap/Rhinox waves.
>>
>>5740106

Agreed.
>>
>>5740119

With all of the crazy shit thats being leaked from Hasbro months and months and months in advance, I'd think if there were anything BW coming we'd have known a long time ago.
>>
>>5740015
>Left pic
is it even possible to make Magnus' thighs form Omega Prime's waist?
>>
>>5740079
>>5740067

Never once had mine topple over, and I've had it for over a decade in various poses.

Only problem is that he'll do the splits if you're not aware of how loose the thighs are.
>>
>>5740015
>Was it worth getting Starsaber instead?

Absolutely. Omega Prime still holds on its own, but G1 Star Saber was a brick with shit proportions.
>>
>>5740046
>near perfect

Is this the same anon that posts this response every single time anyone makes any kind of mention of wanting a new Fire Convoy?
>>
>>5740048
Anyone know where to get plastic replacement tires for those?
>>
>>5740119
>>5740129
Platinums can get fast and surprising releases. So it may be some Platinum BW sets, like we got from the 86 movie.

A while back I actually brainstormed what I think would be a almost decent in-scale BW set of the Season 1 Maximals minus airrazor and Tigatron;
96 Deluxe Cheetor, Universe dinobot, Generations Rhinox and Rattrap, and BWX/Cyberton Optimus Primal.That Primal chosen for being smaller than Rhinox as show-appropriate, and taller than Rattrap and cheetor, unlike the robot Master. Dinoobt should be tallest, and Primal's style isn't an organic beast mode, but it works out better than most match ups.

What we'll probably get is just weird translucent versions of BW toys and overpriced reissues. That said maybe a new Primal Prime style Optimal Optimus might be cool. That Op Op mold needs a reissue with better colors.
>>
>>5740198
Didn't the original version suffer from GPS, too?
>>
>>5740147
Maybe? I think other people feel the same and have posted similarly. I feel like the MP line is quickly becoming a way for niche fandoms in the hobby to cry out for representation or to be noticed. Like getting an MP made of their childhood favorite shows makes them feel justified. Hopefully when the BW MPs bomb they stick to what sells; MP G1.
>>
>>5740207

Hey, even I want a Primal figure, if only because monkey mode will be great for screwing around with my other figures.
>>

Gold plastic syndrome. Several Beast Wars toys had it. Chemicals in the dye for that color made the plastic exceptionally brittle overtime.

Look it up on youtube, there's a fun little demonstration with pic related, almost entirely made of gold plastic.
>>
>>5740249

Gold Plastic Syndrome. A term for stuff made out of gold plastic, which has time and again proven to break down and shatter into thousands of shards at the slightest touch because it's a shit plastic material.

To give an idea of how bad it is: Had a G2 Superion sitting in a storage box for years. Slingshot is a GPS figure.

He broke in half from sitting there. Untouched, unmoved. Just fucking broke out of nowhere. It's that bad.

I wish the gen starscream had the wing that would turn in to a sword.
>>
>>5740283
I have a Megatron from back in the day still that I got from a friend. He's missing pretty much every detachable part, though, so I think if I want a complete one I might as well buy a full new one.

But yeah, I love the anime style of Armada toys and the fact they're Brave as fuck.
>>
>>5740286
What bugs me about his wing sword is that it gets really loose as a wing after being in his hand after awhile.
>>
>>5740266
>Dat Galvatron

I always found it funny how the UT Megatrons had such garish colors that were always fixed with the Galvatron repaints.
>>
>>5740297
Really? I had wanted the toy as a kid but poor family and all. Now I can get it but the leg articulation steers me away. Thanks for that info.
>>
>>5740287
While I do wish they had articulation and was severely disappointed at the time that they weren't like RiD toys, I do like the novelty that they where basically modern figures engineered to be like G1(or Brave) toys. Thew mentioned that once and it really clicked.

Hasbro should just make their simple/3 step figures designed like armada toys. those could be transformed in less than 5 steps, and felt sturdy and chunky. I've given Armada toys to my 2 year old nephew and he loves them.

>>5740309
Yeah, when I first got into collecting I was all "muh articulation" until the day I bought a beat up powermaster prime. That figure taught me that bricks can still be cool and fun.
>>
>>5740299
Galvatron was always better.

>>5740302
No problem. He's still one of my top favorites though, his mini-con is pretty neat too.
>>
>>5740299
I preferred regular Armada Megatron to Galvatron. Megatron has more iconic colors while Galvatron's pale colors seemed kind of weak to me. Though you're right, Energon Galvatron is spectacular and Cybertron Galvatron is also an improvement.
>>
Why is Sky Lynx still nowhere in stores and everyone selling it online charges a minimum of 50 bucks?
>>
>>5740316
Not the OR, but very nice work.

I think it would have been hilarious if Powerglide had a more "NOPE" look on his face.

I'll need to check my local ToysRus if any Titan figures have shown up yet, but since I live in Eastern Canada, I highly doubt it.

>>5740411
Scourge definitely looks better. As far as deluxes go I'm fine with either for the rest. I'm gonna pick up both Has and Tak Bluer because I don't know which I'll like more, maybe I'll just keep them both. Tak is cooler, but Hasbro is more comic accurate.
>>
>>5740411
The white backround help him a lot disguising the headmaster arms, looks nice, but I'm fine with the generations.
>>
>>5740411

Eh, it's 50/50 on the Deluxe's. Scourge and Blur looks worlds better on Takara's side, but Hasbro wins with Skullcruncher and Hardhead due to not having those fucking terrible anime heads.

I have several different FanFic ideas of my own as well that I should really put some work into, one's a Beast Wars Modern concept(based on the original mini-comic that came in the Optimus Primal VS Megatron set), one's a big G1 style continuity reboot concept(with some twists to it), and I've got three less developed concepts both centered around Crossovers(one is Transformers Animated and Mass Effect, one involves Zoids, and another involves Macross)

G1 AU
Ironhide gets reformatted into Powerlinx Demolishor by The Fallen, suffering ensues. My only problem is that I'm tempted to force Galvatronus in there when he really doesn't fit

Sample ahoy:
>“Yes, yes, of course. Now there’s one last wrinkle. Your mates are too far gone to accept individual offers for me. You will have to accept the offer on their behalf . . . and deal with any fallout that may result from such an acceptance.”
>Ironhide was silent. A dozen different thoughts flashed through his mind. Megatron. Prime. Chromia. Earth. Cybertron. Revenge. Damnation. Death. Life.
>Then he spoke two words: “I accept.”
>The darkness exploded, turning space into a lightless void. Those burning red eyes were now set in the face of a mechanoid wrapped in tattered black robes. It wore a mask, or perhaps that was its face, that resembled the Decepticon insignia. The bodies of Ironhide’s dying comrades materialized between him and Nemesis: Grimlock, Swoop, Roadbuster, Twin Twist, Topspin, Whirl, Impactor, Gears.
>“These two. . .” Nemesis intoned, gesturing at Grimlock and Swoop. Their bodies glowed with red light. “Doom-lock, the warrior.” Grimlock’s body seemed to melt then reform into a new shape, one colored with burgundy, silver, white and bronze. “Divebomb, the tracker.” Swoop’s body did the same, reforming into white, gold, and black body. Doom-lock and Divebomb let out low growls.

No no NO anon, they have the cheapest begining rrp but its hobbystock and hlj that'll go better when he ends up in clearance.

...if you pre-ordered via them already I feel sorry for you, you can beg them to cancel via email with a very good excuse or you can accept effort-icus.

Despite people's objections he has alot of effort into him, regardless it'll work out well on clearance or not

Someone on Shapeways made the front tires. Kinda pricey, but there's a 20% off coupon code you can use right now.

I could've sworn they had the smaller size available as well but it's not in their store. Maybe they temporarily pulled it for fitting problems.

Got bored, had a look at hlj's orders listing for tf legends.

As expected, rewind and galvatron's buttons are still open, everyone that isn't in stock is locked down.

But this includes fort max despite very little of him being shown (least in all forms), any theories, what people banking he will come will come with the sword and retools or is this Japanese Autism with little help from us?
>>
>>5740968
Probably just Takarafagging. You can't totally blame them; the last Titan release was very much improved over the Hasbro Devastator.

Did devvy order stop though back then?

Because hlj still has plenty, and on sale at 45% off, despite the amount of sheer effort they used.

Even though I plan on getting the hasbro headmasters and want a cohesive collection I'd jump ship to takara fort max IF the price is right.

But other than a sword, and retooling the head components what can they do, last I checked takara's metroplex only got chrome and tampos over the hasbro release.

I...kinda want a reason to return my hasbro fort max but I have no justification to do so yet
>>

Most people ignored Devastator since they either wanted a decent Devastator (didn't care for the individual molds), or didn't care about it since it was completely out of scale with the rest of the combiners.

>decent devastator

Seems self entitled, he may be largely out of scale with the others but the reasons behind him give perfect sense

>near mp features on non-mp figures when compared to other toys of the same kind
>6 man team being scaled to 5 man teams means individual characters may be shrunken down
>they needed a centerpiece and who better than the big guy people first saw
>devastator was never the same as other combiners therefore allows freedom of expression

The 3p's never stood the chance and the ONLY 3p devastator that looks good is really just an action figure scaled to combiner height and isn't even a transformer.

We won't get a devastator that could ever touch this for many many years

Ain't that the truth. Hell, next years voyagers look worse than this years. Fewer parts, less pins, more mushroom joints. Scary times ahead.

Don't know it by name, but heres some possible info. Look to see what type of plastic it works on, and then try to find out what figures are made out of.

However, be careful if it IS plastic cement. Fa/tg/uy here, stuff thats plastic cement melts plastic together, it's not traditional glue as you know it, you can't just "unglue" it. If you fuck up with plastic cement, you're fucked.

Got Ratbat and Sandsting today. They're not so bad. Ratbat is cute but his inability to adopt an even remotely convincing flying pose sucks (though it is possible to half-transform him into a sort of bat-Gradius-ship-thing). Sandsting is outrageously neon but a surprising amount of fun. The armour for both of them sucks, though the purple dadaos that come with Sandsting have 3mm pegs so that's cool. Might give them to my mini-Windblade as extra weaponry.

Because Hasbro need to a combiner that Takara would not make, because Takara knew people want a good Computron and not a combiner from the comics.
>>
>>5741864
You know, if Hasbro hadn't got so lazy with Vicky it might, might, have been cool.
Maybe use all the molds available they could cram. Use the planes, use a Rook, use the van; but instead they just put two fucking helicopters.
>>
>>5741864

Has Takara made a combiner though? They've made 2 limbs and done nice retools, but have they actually made any full combiners, or have they just redeco'd/retooled what was already made?

I mean, I don't see Takara pulling out a Predaking/Piranacon/Abominus....

I'm hoping they extensively retool the body, or make a whole new one. But we'll see. At worst it'll probably be Skylynx remolds and use Brawl and the Rook remold drilltank they made for Compy, and some new heads.

No idea. It's cheaper when you're in asia or if you're buying from local toy shops/conventions. Got that Evasion prime for the same price as a Leader Class, with early bird discount. The MP Optimus knockoff is 60-80 bucks extra, plus 25 dollars for his trailer. If you're shipping, probably an extra 10 dollars +shipping fee.

What.

ROTF Jetfitre has less in common with Armada Jetfire.

Here's what he has in common with G1 Skyfire.

>ROTF Jetfire starts off as an "Decepticon" but becomes an Autobot that mirrors the episode of Fire in the Sky.

>He was in stasis but is revived.

The only difference being he stays dead and doesn't become a pointless cargo ship.

It goes further than that. They redesigned the transformation so that the wheels split into the feet and the body armor folds away in altmode, without havign to take it off. It looks pretty fuggin good.

Newfag here, haven't bought any TF stuff since ROTF or Animated when I was a kid.

How do I know which TF products - both Hasbro and Takara - I need to preorder, and which ones I can risk waiting to go on clearance?
I thought all this G1 stuff would be super popular. I got UW Superion, Menasor, and Devastator at original price. :( Not crazy on Bruticus' colors so haven't pulled the trigger on it.
I've been collecting for like 20 years and I still don't have a good sense of this.
>>
>>5742342

General rule of thumb: Popular characters get more of them made and are usually easier to find initially, but also risk going up in price the most later on from scalpershit.

Literal who's and unpopular characters shelfwarm for ages and drop to rock bottom prices.
>>
>>5742342
Bruticus is a bad guy so he'll probably stick around long enough to go on sale
>>
>>5742342
Theres no way to know, people hated cw Skylynx being a combiner that doesn't split and the ratchet issue, but now he is hard to find, when takara released the fembots the least popular was Blackarachnia, yet she was the first to be discountinued, meanwhile praised figures like Springer are easy to find everywhere, you just have to guess and preorder your faves.
>>
>>5742350
It'd be easy if they stuck around long enough to go on sale and I just had to pay attention for that, but if they sell out... woops.

>>5742354
Yeah. I realize there's uncertainty. It's kinda neat how there's a tipping point you can sometimes really rely on that THE most popular character will be cheap and reissued, while the obscure B-list characters are rare but still have enough demand. Happened with Power Rangers and Sailor Moon. ... well, I think there was a split with Red/White/Green Ranger.

>>5742351
Hm. But maybe Computron won't.

I wonder if size changes things. How fast did Takara Metroplex sell out? ... but Fortress Maximus is a LEADER unlike Metroplex. Also no space for large figures in tiny Nippon.
>>
>>5742354
>people hated cw Skylynx being a combiner that doesn't split and the ratchet issue, but now he is hard to find

He's always been hard to find. I've never seen the fucker for less than $40. Shits a bit ridiculous. I might just buy the UW set if only because Takara might fix his issues.
>>
>>5742354
Takara's Skylynx definitely fixed the Ratchet issue in that he comes with Ratchet. They were listening, right? Close enough?
