TRANSFORMERS GENERAL

>>5779841
No. But the bootleg is worth $20

>>5779841

Depends. He looks cool as fuck, but I have 0 attachment to him.

MP Jazz and Hound WHEN? Or MP Dinobot and Tarantulas (fuck MP Barney, it's gonna look like shit) if it must be a BW character.

Anyone got pics of Blurr with Siren's head on the body?

Thinking about getting two Blurrs and repurposing him as Cybertron vehicle form for Siren.....

Inferno is a shit character who looks cool.

He's far more interesting from a visual standpoint, especially compared to his cremesicle counterpart Grapple (which is why we got him before Jazz and Hound; repainting him as Grapple would sell better than Stepper or Hound's Ehobby decepticon counterpart)

What are some of the best masterpiece figures?

IMO sideswipe is top tier, his proportions are perfect and the vehicle mode looks gorgeous

it's a shame he had those paint defects (i could also do without the autobot symbol on the front)

the Maketoys version is superior to this Sunbow piece of shit anyway, and $140? Fuck Takara, at this point I'll support the KO makers as a big middle finger to them for pulling a stunt like that.

>>5779915
>the Maketoys version is superior
No, not in the slightest. I'm a fairly big 3p fanboy, but this time Takara has MMC and MT beat.

>>5779906
Hot Rodimus, Sunsurge, Gundog and Prowl/Bluestreak.

I love how easy a lot of transformers are to shop lift. Anything below Voyager can make it out easily and so long as you play it smart you can make it out with voyagers. Haven't been ballsy enough to try for a leader though...

And with that I have a sudden realization of why deluxes were named the way they are.

>>5780110
It makes little sense to pack them with the deluxes. Pretty much all the deluxes already have two seats for the small guys by default - a cockpit in vehicle mode and a seat on the weapon. There's no need for ANOTHER place to sit when you only get one head per toy.

>>5780124
That's pretty damn cheap. Let us know how it turns out if you plan on getting some.

They're only there because Takara wanted to make use out of the vehicle molds, but they knew that their collector market wouldn't be interested in replacement head packs.

That's why the bodyless Titan Masters got packed in with the Legends class figures.

Sooo I just got uw bruticus yesterday, does anyone know of a good way to keep blast off's head from popping off and how to keep his legs to peg together?

>>5780274
>Head
Nope, but most pop offs are caused by rotating the combiner peg up, because of that bizzare ridge on the back of it. If you swing the head out first, you can mostly prevent it. Best idea is probably a touch of PVA glue in the peg slots that it plugs into, or a bit of superglue in there, or future floor, or whatever your preferred joint tightening technique.

>legs
The problem is that the swingarms on the feet are too fat, so instead of sitting at a 90 degree angle in either position, they're like constantly 5 degrees off, so it creates a lip that pushes back when you peg the legs together. Shaving a little off the plastic on the swing arm makes it sit flush and eliminates the problem.

3rd party figure by MMC named Cynicus, who is NotVos from IDW comics. He's getting harder to find now too, and was fairly popular, they did two runs of him.

>>5780420
I have no nostalgic connection tot he G1 cartoon, I just think the official one looks better. It feels more in line with SoC or other lines I like than 3P stuff. I think one of the reasons, besides budget cuts, more people are jumping ship to 3Ps are because they've stayed very much in line with the older TF style from 2001-2010 or so, while official TFs are more and more veering into taking after Japanese lines.

>>5780562
Are they gonna do more runs like with Terminus Hexatron or no?

Transformers Prime was a good show and had a shitty toyline that could have used less repaints and a better toy design budget, especially near the end.

>>5780575

It's all about tastes. With a line thats lasted as long as TF's and had so many design variations AND a ridiculously prolific 3rd party support atop it that few/no other toy lines have ever had, theres gonna be a lot of varying ideas on whats "right".

Shit, some figures that had GREAT robot colors had shit cartoon ones, for example. Look at CW VS UW Bruticus.

>>5780585

No idea, but he was popular enough he got 2 production runs and a con exclusive coloration. Still, if you want one, I'd recommend looking into getting one now rather than later, he's becoming harder to find. No shops seem to have anything but his con exclusive color version in anymore, so you'll probably have to go lurk eBay.

Basically Warden made his name working on GI Joe by bringing things back to the original 80's stuff ARAH stuff, and disregarding most of what came out in the 90's and 2000s. As a result, the Joe franchise regained a lot of popularity and quality.

So when Warden came onto the TF Franchise, he pretty much took the same approach, and wrote off the stuff between G1 and Classics as the same as the GI Joe stuff of the same era. To make things worse, at the 2013 toy fair he also mentioned when casually interviewed that he wanted to do a redo of the 1984 line for the Thrilling 30(instead of the cross-generation approach), and joked about Beast wars as the "Dark Ages". To make matters worse, this was right after everyone was sore over the old design team being shaken up; partly resigning, moved, or being laid off.

>>5780797
The point OP is making is that Warden wanted strict G1 instead of homages to RID, Armada and BW/BM we got.

>>5780797
Keyword is, he wanted to do it. Ultimately other people in the design team convinced him that the other stuff has fans, too. Most of the 30 stuff was seemingly planned in advance by the former design team that has since been shuffled up. Of course now, we're gradually getting a 1984 redux from releases in the past 3 years, anyway.

>>5780415
Both of them just have straight fucked proportions and too much greeble. The MT has retarded looking arms and legs, while MMC is the better of the two the way they did the head wings made it less than desirable. The only thing they have over the MP is the face-sculpts but the MP isn't that far off.

Not to mention the MP is the only one of the three that actually hid the ladder in the transformation.

>>5780866
The only one with worse colors than Hasbro is Blast Off, and Bruticus if you count him and the brown chest.

>>5780899
Bw will be redone eventually with a nice chug assortment but for now we got headmasters unless hasbro wants to do a special line with masterforce/victory

How much authority does John Warden even have? Are we ascribing too much power to him just because he has a bigger media presence? Sometimes I worry people treat him similarly to those people think Bay literally personally designs all aspects of the movies.

Wtf

>>5780911
He's lead designer, so a pretty good deal. While he doesn't design every toy personally or anything,but he calls a lot of the shots and steers the line direction, mainly for things that aren't show/movie tie-ins.

It's hard being broke cause I can't buy ALL the Autobot Headmasters at the moment. I'm skipping LG Fort Max since I already own the G1 and its not like I'm going to pose the new one if I get it also the old one is completely fine.

Are Hasbro Highbrow and chromedome released in the same wave as blurr and hard head?

>>5780909
It's still really weird we are getting Headmasters since it was aired in Japan and it only got like 3 episodes on America.

It's getting redecoed into Astrotrain.

Is the 25th anniversary Unicron, MSIB, for $90 Canada bucks a good deal?

How is he as a figure overall?

>>5780979
They're pretty much the same size, but Uranus has better limb bots, Superion has an amazing torsobot, Uranus doesn't even look like the character unless you buy another chest-head add ons, I'd say get uw Superion if you want a representation of the characters or get Uranus if you want an OC combiner that just happens to also be made of planes.

>>5780979
>Uranos

Oh fuck, get UW Superion. Uranos is a piece of shit. The only 3P combiners you should ever consider, currently, are Feral Rex, and that Liokaiser and Piranacon.

What BW toys would need updates, though?
I think Razorbeast could be eligible for an update, possibly an extensive Gen Rattrap retool, since he had a whole arc dedicated to him but who else? Most basics are perfect as is, and guys like Polar Claw would risk getting smaller like just happened with Tidal Wave.

Why is the QC in modern TF's such shit compared to the 80's, 90's and early 00's?

The excuse for the 80's that they were legitimately made in Japan but even when manufacturing went to China, there still was a measure of quality.

Now I hear how the first wave of Titan Returns have various issues with loose parts. Do they not test them to see if they are being made with the proper mold tolerances.

Just got UW Bruticus, Onslaught seems to use a lot of gold plastic, does anyone know how bad the eventual GPS might get?

>>5780995
TFC is trash so Piranacon and Lio Kaiser aren't going to be good. Feral Rex and its components are way too big.

The only ones I have is Intimidator, because the official Motormaster is pretty bad and I love Motormaster having an entire trailer, even if the whole damn set is needlessly complicated, as well as War Lord. It's got some stability issues but he's the perfect size and the limbs are pretty cool. They fit in right at home with CW, if you're mixing combiners. I don't have Dinoking but I eventually will, along with Monstructor. The rest of the third party ones are overly complicated and I don't like that. If Takara doesn't do a scaled down Devastator to fit with the others, I'll have to grab Green Giant.

>>5781078

They just got out of one place (ie: Factory workers possibly losing jobs and thus not giving a single fuck) and are just moving out of another (ie: Factory workers don't know shit yet, everything is a mess), so QC's probably gonna be shit for a little while until the whip crackers get on the ball and lash those 7 year olds making our toys.

Fuck it. I'll just get the Hasbro one and modify what I don't like about it.
How many pins does the Onslaught mold uses?

>>5781100
Nah, it's not for me. It's noticable larger than the other guys. And the components are all Voyager size. Too big there, too. Predaking isn't fictionally larger than the other teams. He was only bigger in the original toyline and let's face it, the original toy line was shit for character sizes since it was a hodgepodge of toys form other lines.

>>5781093
There is no gold plastic anywhere in this set.

>>5781046
What's bugging you about Triggerhappy?

>>5781107

He's still closer than you think. He looks bigger because in that pic I've got him standing mostly straight while the others have bent knees. He is still bigger by an inch or two, but I think he fits well enough.

The QC issues of the other NotPredaking's were too much for me to even consider them viable, though.

>>5781104

Sick Pharma bro.

None of that is gold plastic, mong. It's not even gold paint.

>shins
Blue plastic with olive paint.
>hips
Very dark grey, unless you mean the waist, which is olive paint.
>elbows
Elbow joint is blue plastic.
>guns
More dark grey plastic with silver paint.
>Bruticus's chest piece
Even more dark grey plastic, with brown paint. Are we even talking about the same figure? There's not a bit of gold anywhere in this set. The closest you'll get is the yellow paint on the chest.

>>5781128
Idiot, Hasbro doesn't use the same gold that gets GPS anymore. And Bruticus doesn't have gold anyway.

>>5781101

So I don't have the exact shade of color right. It's a very dark color that isn't at all gold. That's not even the the real issue anyway.

Sorry, but not. You don't get to move goalposts like that. There's no gold plastic (or paint) anywhere on this figure. It's dark grey plastic and olive paint, which are part of Onslaught's colors. And it doesn't even matter because Hasbro already confirmed they don't use they swirling plastic they used to use that cracked. And I'm sure as hell Takara wouldn't be using that shit either.

tl;dr no gold anywhere on Onslaught, no brown anywhere on Onslaught, you got BTFO

He's a cheap and fun little figure.

They're weapons, and vehicles the Headmasters can ride in. Skullcruncher could be eating a guy while his head is a riding a bird, then he could transform and use the bird as a giant claw weapon.

>>5781106
I'm thinking about doing the same. I only passed on Hasbro before because of hoping Brawl's waist would get fixed and Vortex's rotors, but every single thing about the UW set save for Vortex looks worse than Hasbro, and everybody's talking about how awful the QC is. Plus Blast Off looks fucking terrible.

Plus the Hasbro set is dramatically cheaper, and the matching silver handfootguns look better anyway.

You never said anything about swirling plastic before though. Regardless, like I said they don't use they kind that breaks anymore. I believe they confirmed this at Botcon.

Hell, even Onslaught's blue is swirling plastic. But I guess people want to keep throwing fire on the hysteria panic of crumbling plastic. FYI, Takara TM Megatron had similar plastic but never suffered from GPS. Another point is that Megatron didn't even have GPS, it was just a shitty designed joint with bad plastic. It doesn't break the same way GPS breaks. And I've had a BW Neo Randy break. Different kind of break on the plastic. As much as I hate Walky, the wiki has a good page talking about GPS.

>>5781183
What is that configuration? I can't really tell from the side view.

Hey, I held out hope for Deadlock and he happened!

>>5781174
Cyclonus's face is very BW Dinobot esque.

>>5781197
That's because Alex Milne is a very bad artist.

>You never said anything about swirling plastic before though.
No shit, I was trying to use your own standard of what the signs of GPS type plastic looks like.

You just fold one arm over to hold the back of Hotspot's one rifle, put the other arm down to hold the same rifle, clip the rifles together, and fold Groove around a bit until he's a rifle.

Out of curiosity, what are the qc issues on UW Bruticus?

Dumb hentai poster.

>>5781235
I don't really see how that's relevant to my post.

>>5781163
I bought one cause Walmart here in Canada is on clearance and that now I can make that meta Groove ride on Groove dank meme.

>>5781231
The first was me mistakenly replying to the post above. I deleted it and posted it without the reply.
>>5781219 and >>5781225 are shitposters.

>>5781225
Weird tolerances on onslaught, blast off's head keeps popping off, legs won't clip together, and brawl's waist is still a floppy mess.

(uw blast off- more like pop off amirite)

>>5781139
Predaking is so beautiful that I could shed a tear.

Yeah, no. I call bullshit.

>>5781259
Idiot, my screencap included the dumb hentai poster that was quoting me. I'm not him. Is this your first time on 4chan?

>>5781265
Shit, thought I had it all figured out, fuck mang.

>>5781261
Why is that bullshit? Defensor is a rescue team, but it's not the ultimate defense.

Arm kibble + Hollow forearms

>>5781078
A general decrease across the board in plastic quality combined with moving factories to Vietnam and India.

>>5781276
>arm kibble

Like that's a bad thing. He can swing those cannons in place of his fists and have long ass arm guns.

The kibble needs to be there, for accuracy. I get you on the forearms, but isn't every other figure in the line like that?

THANKS DR. LEGBEAT!

Does nail polish work as well as future shine when fighting joints?

So I'm noticing the wave 2 Titan Masters popping up all over Ebay but haven't seen any of them in the general. Are they really already available?

>>5781268
IIRC Defensor is the strongest scramble combiner.

>>5780301
What do you mean by swingarms?

>>5781337
Gay shit, Bruticus is the strongest.
Defensor is the most well armoured.
Menasor is the fastest.
Superion can fly.

>>5781351
Predaking is the sexiest.

>>5781337
I've never heard that before anywhere.

>>5781351
Most of this is speculation too. The more obvious thing to say is Bruticus is the most well armed combiner. Superion can fly, yes. I think the only combiner than can? Menasor doesn't really do anything except smash shit and fly off into a rage easily.

>>5781353
Can't argue with that.

>>5781351
>Bruticus is the strongest
Except for that time Defensor killed it in one shot.

>>5781355
I like to think each of them excels in one area, what do you guys think would be their traits?

Away with you.

Hey now.
B.O.T.'s political commentary was ahead of its time.
