I'm afraid my only source was an anon or two in one of these threads.

That said, in the last thread (or maybe 2 threads back) we did see early CAD for a leader Bonecrusher. So the movies are slowly getting the love from China (I imagine the movies are probably a lot of Chinese fans first encounter with the brand).

Sorry bro, seems the thread isn't in the archive.

I did find this story about a non-Transforming leader DOTM Shockwave. As he never transformed in the movies, I'm up for it.

>>5766205
>(I imagine the movies are probably a lot of Chinese fans first encounter with the brand).

That is simply not true. A large portion of the popularity of TFs in the PRC (and in the rest of East Asia) is fueled by their popularity and the nostalgia from the 80s. Of course the dynamics for each population is different, but I think it's telling given their nostalgia is grounded much more in g1 (which apparently Hasbro offloaded there free of charge during the 80s) than in later incarnations like RID, BW, Prime or UT.

>>5766271
Thanks for sharing. I honestly had no idea if the older shows ever made it there in the 80s/90s. I naturally knew China has a love for G1 as so much third party stuff is G1, but didn't really know how common it was at large.

Either way, I'm sure the movies brought in a lot of folks too (even if it's far from the majority), it's brought in plenty of Western fans too.

I just got Planet X Summanus, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the screwhole covers are supposed to be used. There's a fair amount of visible screw holes, but they only give you 10 and they only color match the dark grey plastic used for the thighs and head. Am i missing something?

>>5766450
I remember it being a bit of a job to figure them all out. Some might be spares though. I also remember them being a bit brutal to install. IIRC, most of them are in what becomes the robot legs, including the dino mode's front legs.

>>5766459
Thanks, i figured the spaces on the inner thighs were a dead giveaway for them, so i'll probably only use those two

They need to crank out something Warden tier and like the bullshit of Leonidas.

They're hardly the only one. Robotkingdom is run by the same people that own Perfect Effect, Planet X, KFC, X-Transbots, etc. Planetsteelexpress meanwhile is owned by MMC, who also works with/owns Mechideas and Voodoo Toys.

This is also why neither site sells the stuff from the companies they don't own. There is this big feud going on that probably is also the reason why so much of MMC's stuff got knocked off.

Am I just being dumb though, or are his shoulder pads kind of wonky? I keep trying to rotate his arms forwards and backwards, but if they're extended sideways even a little, a ton of stuff starts colliding.

I also got the PE bruticus hands/feet in, and they're pretty disappointing. I mainly got them for the feet, but the balljoints are loose, there isn't enough forward tilt to use them in a proper walking pose, and they don't really peg into the limbs well. Half the time I pick him up one of them stays on the table.

It's nuts that they're the only game in town when so many people are sitting on multiple combiner teams and the stock feet are so useless. You'd think it'd be like selling icewater to people in a desert. How the hell are there a dozen companies playing dinobot bingo, but the only options for proper combiner feet are $35 kits that barely work, and a guy selling stuff that I'm still not convinced actually exists?

I don't even mind if it is a complete retread of the ROTF voyager, it looks fucking great. For a first figure effort they've knocked it out of the park. I think the alt mode actually has working treads too despite how they break up for the robot mode.

Ashura Knights STILL don't have a concrete release date, all the sights have just pushed it back to Q3.

What the fuck, there are video reviews of the set out there already, what's the hold up?

They've got an assload of releases backed up and slated for "july" by what most sites say. The least they could do is give some more info on what they expect the order of release to be. I want to be able to have SOME kind of plan on what to buy first.

>>5769195
the head is probably different to avoid infringment.
While it's tank mode shares a lot of similarities, the robot mode actually does not. First is the different hands, feet, and head, but if you look closer, the entire lower legs have been completely re-engineered, and the shoulder pieces are extremely different, just borrowing the hanging tread gimmick.
The torso also doesn't appear to really make a face either (but perhaps paint will change that) annd of course the forarms are radically different.

To me, this is more of a G1 reinvisioning of a non-pretender Bludgeon.

>>5769284

I honestly wouldn't mind if they pushed them back and released the upcoming Optimus first. Same with the other P6 guy.

I just want that fucking Optimus.

>>5769146
It's pretty solid. I like it a lot. The beast head isn't really crocodilian so much though. Well, maybe ancient, like Postosuchus. Imho, it beats out FP and Hasbro.

You're reaching, brother. Kultur's head is straight-up the Decepticon logo, which I think rules it out any concerns of infringement

Eh, I'm full up on optimus figures for a while. I don't mind waiting for that one, especially since we haven't even seen a finished version of him like we have for the dinobots for fucking weeks now.

I've been itching for good DInobot figures for years though, and most other 3rd party stuff is just too much of an investment in money and shelf-space.

Besides, these are TECHNICALLY EX6-11 of their series right? I really just want these thing sto be fucking done already.

>>5769434

Why the Asterisk version?

And those are all great buys, good choice Anon.

>>5769545
>I've been itching for good DInobot figures for years though

My problem is they're terrible Dinobot figures, because they're Dynobot figures.

Off topic: how do you like using Paypal credit? Thinking of trying it out but still on the fence.

>>5769553
I like the colors.

>>5769560
I really like it for bigger purchases. The whole 6 months no interest or required payments on purchases over $100 is really nice for shit like this, letting me save up and pay at my leisure. I always get it paid off before the six months so there's no real reason not to use it.

Wait until it's out and the full set can be reviewed fully.

Like any combiner, or 3P product.

tl;dr WAIT FOR REVIEWS. Always. Otherwise you could end up with this.

also turning turret incase anyone was worried

>>5769624
wow is he that big? I didn't realize, I was gonna just roll with it since a tank is big anyway, but that's even better

>>5769610
I like my Bludgeon being Leader sized. He was a Decepticon commander in the comics after all.

>>5769624
Is he? Never read the Marvel comics, so I can't really comment. I dunno, I don't like the idea of him being bigger than Megatron somehow (who IMO should be a Voyager). Still looks boss though.

>>5769635
In Marvel he was Optimus/Megatron sized. In IDW he's a monster.

>>5769622
DNA made a Devy upgrade that seems pretty good quality and the best looking visually.

>>5769643
that's good to hear, I really want this to be as awesome as it looks and not be an omnigonix situation

>>5769635
>>5769640

Pretty sure in the IDW comics he was around Jetfire's size, before he did his funky shit that gave him his Pretender shell look, and he was a bit bigger after that to boot.

So him being roughly Leader sized seems accurate.

>>5768388
Still need a maker to mass produce the WST Transformers to fit in the citybots.

>>5769663

I'm still waiting for someone reliable to downsize KO UW Devy to make him fit in with the other CW/UW Combiners.

>>5769560
I think Liokaizer is pretty amazing. The individuals are all really fun, and the only one to suffer for the combined mode I feel is Jaruga. there's a bit of an issue of Hellbat's cockpit being a bit floppy in combined mode, but it's pretty minor.
>>5769580
I normally agree, but we have 4/6 of them out, and the remaining two are heavy remold, so I think we can access him pretty fairly now.

>>5769609
Blizzard has good looking Robot and Tank modes, but that plane mode is a disgrace, I say wait for Black Shadow if you're only going to buy one.

No.

At least not originally.

His IDW Pretender form - which looks nothing like this - is big (although not as big as Thunderwing).

Whatever happened to G.O.D.-01, anyway?

After the TR release I was left wanting super bad. Like they seemed like they'd be fun but they were kinda rubbish and boring. How is 3rd Party fairing when it comes to headmasters/powermasters or generally fun toys? I feel dirty even considering 3rd Party

>>5770101
Hopefully. Small guys who combine with bigger guys have still not been ruined for me. I got my first normal combiner during Combiner Wars and it thoroughly put me off them.

>>5770125
Also, would they give him toy colors (purple and green), or the anime colors (grey and purple)?

>>5770090

Closest thing you're going to get is Fansproject's soleron core guys who consist of Steel Core, Not Roadbuster, the donutsteel twins, and their Dia Battles/Atlas guys.

You'll probably only find a lose twin with just his guns for cheap.

>>5770150
Ah and FP take eons to release new stuff so I'd rather not get into their stuff.

>>5770139
probably anime colors first, as there's no accurate version of it. but they have to do toy colors as well

So how is Quakeblast, 3PG?

Been looking to maybe snag one, but is he worth it? Or is Quakewave better, though he's like 2x the price.

What happened to that 3rd party skram i saw a while back, they making lazer cycles or cyber jets?

>>5770186
FP announced the four Axelerators last year at TFCon and we've heard nothing since. I'm hoping to see protos this year.

Quakeblast is good. His arm canon can be a bit frail but otherwise he's great.

>>5770231

Yeah, watched a peaguh(whatever the fuck his name is) and he actually hamhanded the fucking thing right off in the first minute of the review.

Any common defects or QC shit I need to know about?

>>5770283
The weak arm canon bit, his finger joints can use a little tightening and you need to squeeze the ends of the rubber cable before putting them in so they expand and fill out the hole and stay in.

>>5770127
I wish we got more bots like Star Saber: little robot forms chest and head of transforming accessory, basically a hole line of Daigunder, but with tfs.

KFC's Sencho Barbosa is based off of Captain Shark from Goldran, but wasn't very popular (I imagine more because KFC is kind of shitty than because of Brave).

We're still waiting for the Hexatron remold as Shadow Maru.

I'd love a 3P Goldran, though.

What is the one third party toy you'd want to see? Any size, any budget, any company.
(single characters only, but ***master partners are allowed).

I'd want a appropriately-scales Deathsaurus to go with MP Star Saber and TFC Liokaiser.

>>5770581

A Voyager to Leader-ish sized, G1 style Megatron, that does not have a pure shit or overly complex transformation, and no other major faults such as extremely fragile bits involved in said transformation or bot mode.

>>5770610
you might get that soon. Maketoys' Cross Dimension Optimus is around Voyager size, and there's a Megatron coming out as well

>>5770581

In no particular order:

A not-garbage IDW megatron of MP scale.

A voyager sized or larger bayformer movie megatron that turned into that bitching space jet.

An MP sized scourge that's not made by KFC.

>>5770371
Oh yeah, stuff like Star Saber is cool.

>>5770581
A good 3rd Party Drag Strip. I love the design. (he was also my first transformers toy). I'd also like to see more gimmicky stuff like breastmasters/powermasters/brainmasters/whatever or for Fansproject to have a real release schedule

>>5770581
A good IDW Megatron
The Horrorcons, especially Snapdragon
Any kind of powermaster, God Ginrai and Darkwing/Dreadwing
The Zone baseformers

>>5770581
A good IDW Megatron, the unproduced TFA Megatron triplechanger that ended up having its prototype destroyed because Hasbro cares jack all about TFA, Transmetal Megatron (there's a pattern here.....), a good figure of the AOE Optimus, and a MTMTE Rodimus.
I also wish that SG repaints were a thing, I wouldn't mind picking up an SG Optimus.

>>5770610
Megatron's alt mode means his transformation is always going to be a complex pain in the ass. There's just no way to make a handgun into a Megatron shaped robot with any kind of ease

>>5770842
>because Hasbro cares jack all about TFA
Hasbro cares a fuckton about TFA. It was cartoon network who cancelled it

>>5770581
A good Cybertron Thunderblast that used the shellforming to its advantage, with the vehicle mode "shell" folding up a bit more than on the original toy, whilst the main body, whose transformation could essentially consist of curling up inside the boat shell, would be Figuarts-level articulated.
[nospoilerson/toy/]Also a removable top.[/stillnospoilers]

>>5771007
Why the fuck does anyone care about her, shes a cringy character with so much kibble its embaressing, im not even sure tgey could ever remedy that without completely fucking over her body.
I wish we could get more new unknown fembots like the MMC Azalias except with better altmodes.

>>5770853

DX9 did it on a fucking Legends sized Megatron. Apolloyon and MP-5 are travesties that should've never happened, in terms of fragility/transformation.

>>5771091
Because idiots are only controlled by their dicks

>>5771007

Or maybe do one that looks like her, but isn't a shitty waifu figure with a ton of kibble shell hanging off it?

We need waifu figures. No, really. It's something that hasn't really been done in TF's before. Everything has always been about nailing a decent transformation/look/robot mode, and we haven't gotten any sexy robot girls or waifubots.

I'd put out that bank if we could get a Daibadi Polynian/MoMo/Figma-esque quality robot waifu that also pulled off a good transformation. Bonus points if it was lewd as fuck too, and loaded with accessories like removeable titty plates, swappable chest sizes, crotch plates, robo dicks, crotch plates with bulges, faceplates with different expressions, etc.

>>5771247
You are why everyone thinks tf collectors are lonely basement dwelling /v/irgins. Try and dial back that desperation, youre making us all look bad.

>>5771266

I'm sorry you're so insecure with yourself that you can't own a lewd figure or two or want something outside the norm of TF figures.

>>5771270

Dont get all defensive because I called you out for acting like a pathetic 8 year old who just discovered titties. And if you need lewd figures this bad I think you have bigger problems you shoukd be worrying about, I wouldnt gave thought that at first but then you sperged hard when someone disagreed with you.

Anyone with Quantron and some CW combiners that can post a pic with them together? Combined and a limb-bot from each?

I was planning on getting UW Computron with the PE hands&feet and head&chestplate sets (I prefer yellow visor), but with Quantron being on sale, I'm tempted to go with that instead, it seems like it would be more fun and a better product overall for not too much more money

>>5771366
>>5771366

UW Computron isn't out so you're not going to get any comparisons of the two beyond photo's being compared to each other. But all of the combiners with PE stuff are around a foot tall.

Also, Quantron's kind of meh at best, save your cash for the UW Computron and then use the money saved on buying that to put towards a better 3P combiner later.

>>5771366
I don't get why there's so many combiners in the 3P world. I got my first combiner with CW (Galvatronus with random limbs) and it was the most disappointing thing ever. I'm thoroughly convinced it'd take a miracle to make a not shit combiner.

>>5771561
Originally, third parties were the only people making combiners at all. Hercules was a big deal at the time. Now, it's a different market since CW happened. Which is why a lot of third party stuff has shifted to Masterpiece.

>>5771598
Are the 3P combiners any good compared to CW? I mean it's a low bar to pass but I'm not seeing it happening.

>>5771616
>Are the 3P combiners any good compared to CW?
Do you want simple and cheap with hallow parts and limited articulation, or complex with a high level or detail and expensive?

>>5771620
I want what a combiner should be: Something big, heavy and badass. Not some shitty weak limbed floppy as fuck barely fitting together POS

>>5771616
Third party combiners have a pretty big spectrum. You've got everything from overengineered frustrations, to excessive partsformers, to simple and fun, to really clever - and everything in between.

>>5771627
If those are your criteria, I think you'll like many of them. Feral Rex, Ordin, Hades in particular maybe.

>>5771366

Of you give me some time an get pictures next to the aerialbots. Also if you pick up quantron also pick up the shadow Fisher kit to replace the backpack latch. It makes him so much better looking when you have the BFB in his hands.

He was also on sale for $250 when I got him and a fucking of TFsource points when they moved away from there shit rewards system so I don't have many regrets.

>>5771631
Oh neat. Hades looks like Liokaiser.

>>5771690
Because he should be Liokaser

>>5771247
Christ anon, that's some pathetic shit right there.

>>5771748
Stop, we don't care.

Anyone own Apolloyon? How is he? What are those transformation stalks made out of on him, that shit looks retardedly fragile.

>>5771637
Yeah that would be great, and thanks for the tips/feedback, Quantron just looks like he would be more fun than the Hasbro/Takara version coming out. Even if he didn't combine, the individual bots look a lot more interesting than CW remold version 4

>>5771247

... Which would make for absolutely terrible Transformers toys.

I was about to agree with you that I'd like some nice, attractive femme bots but then you fucking kept going and I had to just let you rid off into the sunset on your own.

>>5772857
It looks similar to Quantron, but everyone on the team is more blocky looking with a shit load more greebles on an overall larger set of toys. It's pretty fucky. idk why anyone would want it desu.

That's not entirely true. There are 2 combiners and one lone motormaster.

>>5772934
>Menasor is my favourite and 3P doesn't seem to want to touch him

If you ignore the FP version, some other new version coming out, that CW-compatible Motormaster semi...

>>5772866
all they need to do is make a new Motormaster that is good and more proportionate. like how he looked in Devastation

>>5772857
I'm only going by reviews here, but from what I've seen it's not a huge QC step up from their Bruticus. Afterburner looks great, Nosecone and Lightspeed are "eh", Scattershot is alright I suppose but makes huge concessions for the combined mode, Strafe looks great in robot mode but total shit in vehicle mode, and the combined mode isn't very solid and looks a mess.

Hilariously enough, Generation Toy's Devastator (GT basically being an offshoot of Warbotron) looks like one of the best Devastators on the market, with pretty good QC, nice aesthetics, solid engineering and not too much unnecessary greebling. Provided I can get hold of him for a not too insane price (preferably not much more than £300) he'll be mine.

You know, I wish TFC would make adapters to let CW torso bots combine with TFC limb-bots. Case in point, CW Silverbolt is great, but the limb-bots kinda suck. Meanwhile, the TFC Aerialbot limbs are awesome but their Silverbolt is fucking awful. CW Silverbolt as the torso with the TFC Aerialbots as limbs would work great IMO.

>>5772806
....I'm unsure, how are their little guys? They seem kinda hit and miss to me. Was their Megatron any good?

>>5773060

Most of their War in Pocket guys are slightly worse than IF's offerings, but still solid enough usually.

Their Megatron had 2 possible issues I recall from watching some reviews: The feet were diecast and if the tolerances were off they could be put on too tightly, meaning you'd twist off the fucking balljoints/break the plastic that held the feet on if you turned them (ha ha fuck), and his left arm was on a slider thingy for transformation and on some (all?) would slide out on it's transformation rail if tilted to the left.

Dunno if either issues were fixed or what. Their Megs is a lil' marvel of simple yet effective engineering otherwise though. Kind of amazing they got a good transformation on a gun Megs at Legends size but other guys can't fucking do it with MP size.

I have considered it but I'm not sure Shapeways plastic would be up for the task. Once I'm more accomplished at 3D modelling though I'll give it a try.
>>5773058
I could be wrong but I think that the TFC Aerialbot limbs are a bit smaller than CW Silverbolt. He'd have a bit of a small torso, yes, but I think it would be just the right size to give him a sort of Obari super robot look, ala Feral Rex. The replacement ratchets might be a necessity though.

>>5765854
What is this? What scale?

>>5772806

Personally I'm satisfied with Shapeshift Inc. Starscream since the WFC/FOC design is what they used in a lot of the IDW comics anyway so he fits in better with Iron Factory, but idk I guess if the DX9 mold is good maybe I'll buy the inevitable Skywarp or something.

Predaking I'm definitely interested in, though. I really like Hulkie. Would have maybe made a little more sense for the sake of shelf balance to do an autobot combiner first? But idk I'm not really complaining.

>>5773060

They're pretty good. I really like the feel of the plastic they use. The designs aren't as good as Iron Factory but really all my complaints about them would just be like that--unfavorable comparisons to Iron Factory. In their own right, they're still good, they just come across as unimpressive when IF is there to compare to.

I wouldn't call their Megatron bad but I also wouldn't recommend it. It has a really impressive gun mode and transformation, but the result is a robot mode that has some issues, including everything that
>>5773071
said, and also the fact that the shoulder articulation is complete crap and he can barely lift his arms out to the side at all cause they hit on the torso.

And again, the reason that I don't recommend it is just cause of Iron Factory haha. IF's designer is making a Megatron for Generation Toy which seems way better for my taste. I like the look of the robot mode sculpt and proportions way more, it solves the shoulder articulation issue, it has a bigger, better looking cannon, etc. The tradeoffs are that the gun mode is worse (but still decent) and the barrel extension appears to be permanently attached (at least we've yet to see it without it) so that's always there as kibble on his back.

Quantron is nice but you have to be down for some of the tolerances and fidgety nature if you like to play and not display. You also have to like the robot modes. I happen to really like 3 out of the 5 and are lukewarm on the other two in robot mode. Their alt modes are fantastic minus the combiner head that just sits out on Scattershot. Until Guardia, Quantron and Giant were the two most super solid combiners out there. The joints are excellent and the limbs aren't heavy keeping them stable. Quantron even has built in non-slip pads on the feet. You can shake him and he won't budge much, if at all. He can hold any sort of stance with his bow on the back or in his hands with both arms supporting it.

The Combiner wars guys in contrast are simple to get from mode to mode but are much more loose but will hold a stance just fine. You have to tighten up the ankles on the PE kit to make sure they don't topple over now that the weakest point moved from trying to get a solid stance to the ankles. Quantron is almost double the weight of Superion with the PE kit here, though the metal in the super bow is a decent chunk of that.

Quantron has incredible range in the arms but doesn't have a ton of play in the knees which is a bummer. He's got a really solid stance to hold the bow. The Shadow Fisher kit a must in my opinion as it A) Makes scattershot not look thin as fuck without the bow on the back both in robot and torso mode, B) Makes the transformation easier, C) makes the waist joint 100% more natural, D) Helps negate the sag the bow had when sitting on the back.

For size Quantron is a little shorter at the head after the PE Kit is put on Superion. About the same height with the regular hand foot guns. The limbs are a half a head shorter than the CW bots. Guardia guys are about the same height.

What's more fragile:

>>5773804

Both are raw shit sizzling on a summer sidewalk, but!

GPS is worse. It will break down no matter what. At least with clear plastic you can just pose something, and let it sit there forever. It won't literally turn to dust.

>>5773768

That would be a terrible Tarn, it just has the same shoulder treads. Iron Factory tends to make pretty accurate versions of IDW designs, just like how this is a really accurate version of the Cybertronian Sludge design from Maximum Dinobots.

At this point, it's tradition that any 3P Devy looks absolutely nothing like him in individual 'bots, gestalt mode, or both.

Eh, that still looks to be based on Long Haul's head, but maybe not enough.

I like the head sculpt. I like stylized transformers. Generation Toy is on the fast track to delivering the best third party devastator on the market considering how hit-or-miss constructor was.

Thank you! It's nice to get a really good comparison. So the Quantron limbots are a bit smaller than a deluxe, but that's not too bad. I wish he would hit $250. $290 + whatever that upgrade kit is you say is basically necessary may be a little much.

BBTS page mentions "This item includes all 3 additional replacement upgrade kit parts which will be packaged separately." What are those?

>>5774289

Yeah TFsource had him for $250 and that's where I got him. The SF upgrade kit is $10 for a few latching clips and a new folding cannon arm assembly.

The extra "upgrade" pieces are replacement parts to fix problems with the original molds back from the giftset. Lightspeed had a deformed head balljoint that fucked up his head movement, Scattershot's waist assembly had incorrect gears and was off center from the middle so he never got a straight standing pose, and Nosecone's headlights that are used to form the foot connection didn't tab properly and the leg tended to transform into a car crash when you tried to move it. Your mileage may vary but these issues were common but with the parts they're easy to fix. It's still an inconvenience that shouldn't be there though.
