>>5829664
>I don't know how Walgreens deals with exclusives.

Well, they've had Marvel Legends exclusives in the past that they've sold on their websites as well as in the stores.They usually get entire boxes of JUST the one figure so they're readily available.

>>5829672
Good to know. I thought I'd be hard as hell to find them.

NEW LEAKS WHEN

>>5829683
Toy Fair. We've already caught up with the previous leaks so we're unlikely to see Tidal Wave, Overlord, and Iron Apex until Toy Fair if we don't get the leaked sheets soon.

>>5829689
Remember NYCC gave us a ton of stuff last year.

>>5829689
>Iron Apex
Sounds like a third party family. Should have been called Ironhide or Armorhide or something.

Has anyone seen that TRU exclusive Starscream in stores yet?

>>5829689
Still missing the clones and Twintwist or was it Topspin?

>>5829729

The Autobot/Decepticon clones. Nautica. Twin Twist and/or Top Spin. Kup. Perceptor. POSSIBLY a new Arcee.

Just found all of wave 1 and 2 of the Masters, as well as Galvy. Skipped Sentinel for today though

Looks good, but needs a dusting, friend.

So, help me out here, guys.

The HTS version of Fort Max is gonna be 180, not counting whatever the shipping is. Now, the only reason I'd want it is for that sweet looking Master Sword.

Is it worth that, or should I just get the regular version?

>>5829832
QC issues have been very questionable and the transparent joint plastic isn't holding up

If it's the sword you are after there are easier options going either 3rd party or that Asian distributed master sword.
It cost about the same buying the 3rd party sword and a standard Max.

>>5829832

You could go the 3rd party route or use a adapter for the G1 version. Or buy for it 180 then sell it without the sword for 150 or something

>>5829847

So 3rd party swords go for, like 30 bucks?

>>5829832
HTS has free shipping at the moment, so it should only be 180.

Get the regular, SDCC has serious QC problems, and you can probably get the regular version cheaper, shit, Amazon had it for $120 a few days ago already.

Plus you can buy a 3P sword if you really want a giant hunk of plastic like that.

>>5829839
Take a less blurry picture? I can't really tell what's wrong...

when it's released that's the price

I'd be wary about using chemicals on plastic. Never know what might have a negative reaction. Could try softening it up by soaking it in some hot water.

It would be sweet, but I understand the concerns. Combiner Wars made a LOT of compromises for the sake of a decent whole, and with the MO of cartoon accuracy for the MP line, it does seem a bit much. Still, I'd like to see them try. I'd suffer some inaccuracies for a good Menasor.

Plus, I feel like the real "meat and potatoes" of the G1 Decepticon ranks are Combiners. Outside of that it's really just the seekers and such.

>>5830046
This. There seems to be a bumper crop of Blackjacks. Every TRU I've been to looking for Titans Return has had one or two Blackjacks.

God, Blackjack is fucking awesome, though.

Plus, G1 cartoon combiners look hella dumb. They're mostly just a giant robot wearing vehicles on their pants and sleeves. I actually prefer some stylization with combiners. CW had it right, but just at too low of a price point to truly succeed.

Blurr looks particularly great. I don't really like Hasbro's choice of such a monochrome design. I'm not sure what else of TR I'll pick up, but Takara Blurr is under heavy consideration.

Seems like too much work. I'll just wait and see what comes down the line. I'm not in that much of a hurry to get combiners.

I might also want to wait for the Brainstorm version, maybe. We'll see.

Not really, it's not that much more work than hunting down the individual members. You can literally just buy everything at one shot online

Next I'm getting Defensor + PE-01 because I need someone to fight Bruticus

>>5830128
The problem is that I never cared for the CW deluxes, and this really doesn't do much to fix them. I care about the single bots as much as I do the whole, and I'd rather wait to see if anyone else can do better, official MP or not.

>>5830123
Same, Blurr's colors are just horrible.

>>5830117
I have a little meme magic in me.

Do you also happen to be in the /v/ thread?

>>5830131
Eh, I like them. Very good for building up bulk in terms of faction size, and they're individually all solid figures with the exception of the QC nightmare that is the Alpha Bravo mold

>>5830134
Yes, just jumped over there to search for more info

>>5830136
Yeah, they're not awful. They're basically legends-class articulation at deluxe size, for the sake of combining. I might venture down that road, for Menasor, at least.

>>5830140
>basically legends class articulation at deluxe size
For the jet molds yeah. For the later molds like the Rook mold and the Brawl mold they have waist swivels and ankle tilts. That already puts them above legends articulation

And they all have bicep swivels which is something most if not all Legends figures don't have

>>5830140
To be honest I prefer that to overly complicated designs. I would rather a figure with a simple enough, but clever, transformation and the bare minimum articulation to a crazy movie deluxe or something else that is complex for the sake of being complex.

>>5830150
I at least like ankle articulation. To me, that's the thing that always sets an "ok" figure apart from a "great" figure.

>>5830154
Oh I absolutely agree, though I'd say a fun transformation is more important. Rook/Swindle/Hound is the sweet spot for a deluxe, I think, they have everything I want but aren't overly complicated.

Takara head is nice, but I don't know if it's worth the fee of importing. Personally the Hasbro one with a painted visor is perfect for me.

>Voy alvatron Get

The figure is really weird.
I can see where they are going with this but overall it is full of problems.

Forget about the G1 toy, the arm cannon should really be on the side.
The arms are long like Harambe. The black fin doesn't click to anything when in space craft mode. The treads get in the way of the arms. The laughable titan master head gimmie. And the QC- the cannon doesn't plug into the holes without falling out.

If not for the horrible previous deluxe version, i would say this is a dud.

>>5830443
The nose bump is to much for me on the Hasbro version.

>>5830451
Damn, that's an affordable printer. How's the precision on it? I've been wanting to do some figure related stuff.

>>5830452
>The black fin doesn't click to anything when in space craft mode.
yes it does?
>the canon doesn't plug into the holes without it falling out.
Make sure you snap the canon's engine into place first, it took me about a day before I realized that if it's not properly snapped before I attach it, the weight distribution changes.

I noticed this, and thats when I figured out the larger portion of the plug is so you can slide it out easily. Remember Brainstorm had all sorts of problems.

>>5830457
Not him but what kind of figure related stuff? Because the DaVinci is probably not going to do it for you.

>>5830510
Transforming designs, mostly. I'd like a quick way to test fit parts and stuff, then I suppose I'd cast 'em if everything works.

>>5829932
Wait a minute, this is official funpub? I scrolled by thinking it was a shitty custom.

>>5830527

Just about the same thing, honestly.

>>5830519
for test fitting parts it will probably work acceptably well, but don't expect any sort of detail to come out, a face on a deluxe or even a voyager size figure will look like trash unless you're printing very slow on a very finely tuned machine, and even then it's not going to be phenomenal

>>5830540
That's good to know, it could still be useful then.

>>5830047
There's no demonstration of transforming in combat so i guess that mechanic will be tacked-on.

you're going to have to tweak it right out of the box too, I don't have a davinci but there are a few simple mods that are paramount to getting it to perform at peak. nothing too complex, you might still have to flash it to get it to accept 3rd party filament idk. if you're a very diy person let me recommend the wanhao duplicator i3, I have one and I love it, but you're going to have to make a few slightly more complex mods to it to get it to work, but it's about $200 cheaper than a davinci, there's a pretty active facebook support group which helps and they can tell you where the best place to buy one from at any given time is, just stay away from WanhaoUSA which is not the manufacturer but some shitty reseller who capitalizes on the name

Picked up Titanmaster Apeface

Would it have been preferable that he have gotten the full Headmaster treatment? Sure.

But... Is he a fun little minifig and vehicle on his own merit? I rather think so.. My only issue is he cant sit in the jet mode normally. He will however plug into it for a streamlined look

Not sure who they could really re-use Apeface's jet for, as there are few ape Transformers. Maybe an Optimus Minor homage?

So...um tell me if this is a stupid choice.

I'm aiming for the complete takara set and have hardhead and skullcruncher in the mail as we speak with the sdcc fort max to match, but that exclusive brainstorm seems tempting, something about the solo packed one pleases me aesthetically.

The easiest and cheapest option would of been to grab all of the hasbro headmaster team (since I have a thing for complete sets) but alas, Australia for all of its advanced releases DOESN'T have the deluxes in so I went takara...

But would it be a dumb idea to have 2 different brainstorms, both financially and mixes with my sets, it would not surprise me if we totally miss the first wave of deluxes at this point after the shitstorm CW caused.

Thoughts?

Pic unrelated

>>5830785
Are you a big fan of the Headmasters anime?

If yes, stick to the Takara releases.
If no, you shouldn't be too bothered by having a Hasbro Brainstorm among your Takara deluxes. In which case forget the Takara version.

>project make hasbro galvatron better

So I got off my lazy arse and decided to paint him up, right now I'm doing stuff I can fix over anything more difficult and less fixable.

Some tamiya acrylic purple to match takara's galvatron with a purple headcrest to make him stand out a tad, some "chrome silver" on the face to help it "pop", and red and black on the Nucleon figure to actually be a mini megatron.

I left the sides of his feet clean so I can handle the figure once completed, the megatron is 90% complete as far as I'm concerned (for as shit as the eyes are I'm not willing to repaint that) while the galvatron head is 75%, planning tonight to use some clear red for some candy red eyes (I have fluro orange but I only like the look on gundam thrusters).

Thoughts? (Yes I got a bit too much black on the knee's, this is a work in progress).

To help protect it afterwards gonna topcoat in gloss, at this point the galvatron face looks "good" and conflicted into doing the rest in purple or not

>>5830793
The paint on Nucleon's not bad. I would want some red on his inner arms, but that's not necessary.

I don't know what to make of the Galvatron face though. The minimal purple is a fine idea, but it might look terrible on the Voyager body unless you paint it all purple. I suggest trying it on the body first and seeing how it looks before moving forward.

>>5830802
Well it is to mimic the effect on the takara figure, pic left was the inspiration with just the crown jewel as I like to call it added in for a personal touch.

I suppose I could do the rest of the head, I'll see how I go, but example on the right is something I hope no one here does, but hay, its their figure I guess, just something that doesn't work.

(also the choice of purple on mine was paint left over from another project but its pretty close, if not oh well)

>red on his inner arms

Tempting idea actually, it'll match hasbro toy aesthetics, the problem would be paint control since I'm not the best as well as paint rub issues, there is no primer and a topcoat will only hold for so long, but its something I will explore, thanks for the input

The nosecone flip would either be to mach the IDW version of the character or the Generations toy.

>>5830877
Catering for completionist who want one of every character despite knowing they're either redeco's or retools of he same mold, the fact that the mp3 and mp11 molds also scale as 1/60 jets also makes them unique.

I honestly hope once those 3 are done that's it, I expect hasbro to pump out an mp11 based skywarp but no more, infact IF they do remake them I HOPE its after 10 years, with a new mold, perhaps a different scale of jet, to allow something different of the mold and its limitations

>>5830877

I'd guess that it's because by the time you get around to like six uses of the mold, time tends to have passed.

>>5830894
They waited too damn long.There was like, 6 years of down time before they started on the coneheads. They should have been working on a new Seeker mold instead.

>>5830898
Must of been how to bring the coneheads to life, so to speak.

I'm guessing they put them as webshop exclusives to justify the need to retool such an old mold, otherwise they could of easily put them up as regular releases/went straight for the newest version of the mold

>>5830856

Damn, that's off-center, and a little scary with how the hole doesn't fit into the space with room to spare, but it could work.

Titans Return Rumors and Speculation

Just wanting to tidy up the various rumors and speculation about future releases and get them all in one place.

What we know: TITANS RETURN is roughly based on the ‘Masters gimmicks and characters from the 1987 and 1988 toy line. We’ll break this down by Size Class.

TITAN MASTERS
Based on the Head Master Juniors:
Nightbeat
Loudmouth (Siren)
Terri-bull (Horri-bull)
Crash bash (Squeezeplay)
Fangry

Based on the Head Master Horrorcons:
Apeface

Based on Duocons:


Based on Others:
Clobber (Grimlock by design, SDCC Catalog suggests original character)
Brawn
Ptera (Based on Swoop)

Based on Cassettes:
Overkill

Based on Head Master Teens (formerly Takara Exclusives):
Sawback (Lione)


SPECULATION: We can speculate the remainder of the 2017 list from these groupings.
Hosehead (HM Jr)
Snapdragon (Horrorcon)
Battletrap (Duocon)
Outback (traditional Brawn retool)
Slugfest
Squawkbox
Slamdance (all Cassettes)
Kirk
Shuffler (elephant / mammoth)
Toraizer (wolf)
Rodney
Loafer (the remaining HM Teens)

This would give us 12 more Titan Masters or 3 more Waves in 2017 beyond what we currently know. The three humanoid HM teens (Kirk, Rodney and Loafer) could also be dropped for the obviously more popular Dinobots still left. Even as different characters, Dinosaurs are always popular.


DELUXES
So far, the line has been made up of the Head Master, Target Master, Power Master and Monsterbot line-ups.

Available Now / Announced:

2016 Wave 1:
Blurr
Scourge
Hardhead
Skullsmasher

2016 Wave 2:
Weirdwolf / Wolfwire
Mindwipe
Chromedome
Highbrow

2016 Exclusive:
Brainstorm (SDCC, Walgreens)

2017 Wave 1:
Hot Rod
Doublecross
Triggerhappy
Getaway

RUMORS:
Nautica (Blurr redeco/retool)
Iron Apex (Godbomber)

File: Deluxe - Hardhead - Robot.jpg (113KB, 1200x1200px) Image search: [Google]

113KB, 1200x1200px

>>5830947
I was tempted to get to the takara one but I missed the preorder slot and already splurged on Legends skullcruncher, maybe if it becomes available at a good price (or maybe even the head see's domestic release?(probably not, hasbro's allergic to good decisions)) because he's got a mouth in more appearances than he does a mouthplate, and it'd help distinguish him from warpath a bit more.

SPECULATION:
Grotesque
Repugnus (remaining Monsterbots)
Sureshot
Pointblank
Kup (remaining Autobot Target Masters)
Slapdash
Joyride (remaining Autobot Power Masters)
Cyclonus
Misfire
Slugslinger (remaining Decepticon Target Masters)
Dreadwind
Darkwing (both Decepticon Power Masters)

This would give us more than the usual 16 Deluxes in a year, at 19. Add Punch / Counterpunch and we have a full wave of 4, giving us 20 Deluxes in 2017.


VOYAGERS:
The Triple Changers have been the main product so far:
Sentinel Prime / Astrotrain
Megatron / Blitzwing
Optimus Prime / Octane
Tidal Wave / Broadside (rumored aircraft / carrier toy)

Galvatron and Alpha Trion are the only single release toys so far in the line.

The Clones are rumored to be coming in 2017. Given we already have 20 Deluxes and the history of them being sold as a pair they could make up the rest of the 2017 Voyager line.

Rumors also suggest that the Megatron/Blitzwing mold will be released as Overlord, but that could just be fan speculation based on seeing a tank and plane and putting 2 and 2 together to get 5. Given what we know about the third act of the Prime Wars Trilogy, the character would be better suited for the 2018-2019 Product Line anyway, despite his Power Master origins. So 50/50 either line.


LEADERS:
Power Master Optimus Prime (rumored blue redeco as Super Ginrai or Prime Magnus)
Blaster / Soundwave
Sixshot / ??

While fans would obviously prefer Greatshot as the second release of the Sixshot mold, they might still use Quickswitch’s colors and name.

TITAN:
We know Trypticon is coming in 2017.

>>5830971
Mouth plates are always sharper, lips are a difficult thing to sculpt.

Truthfully I wanted the hasbro one, but the deluxes haven't hit my country yet, and takara pumped theirs out first...

>>5830971
The initial coloured pictures had the paint sloppily applied, I guess he's still thinking of them.

>>5830519
You're better off using Shapeways. I had a Printrbot a couple years ago and sold it. I probably ended up dumping $500 extra dollars in parts into the damn thing on top of the $1000 purchase price and days on end of calibration and tweaking. Not once in 9 months did I get a single print that ever came close to acceptable.

There's too much bullshit required with RepRap style extrusion printers to ever warrant buying one; almost invariably they are made for people that are entertained by the notion of tinkering with a machine rather than people who actually want to make anything.

>>5830957
>Megatron/Blitzwing mold will be released as Overlord
>putting 2 and 2 together to get 5
More like 22 because jesus, do they want failure that badly?

>>5830969
Oops on Skytread/Flywheels. Teach me to wander off and answer the door mid-typing.

LEGENDS:
Frenzy
Eject
Ratbat
Ramhorn
Steeljaw was replaced with Stripes to avoid confusion with RiD Steeljaw.

The Annual Seeker release suggests that we are due a Conehead in 2017.

Kickback is our Annual Insecticon.

That would likely be it for the Legends scale releases, barring a red Bumblebee as Cliffjumper.

>>5830986
Eh, I'm sort of okay with Overlord being a Triple Changer.

I'd prefer it if he was a two part combiner with both parts having their own Robot Modes, though.

>>5830993
The red bumblebee will be chase.

>>5830954
Oh, Apeface can be reused as Squawkbox! Beastbox ape mode, Squawktalk jet mode.

>>5830986
The rumors for the Prime Wars finale suggest mainline updates of previously exclusive Japanese characters as well as updated US/Japan toys like the Pretenders. I'd speculate Overlord fits in there despite his Power/God Master origins.

>>5830999
That's a great idea actually! and the Headmaster can be modeled after Squawkbox's robot mode

that's one character who really deserves a better toy, the third party one looks like shiiiit

>>5830997
A release as a large Titan Masters DuoCon would make him closer to the original, but a well-retooled triple changer would also be welcome.

>>5830993
>conehead 2017

Oh god, please be the cw seeker mold, and EACH ONE heavily retooled.

>>5830997
I'd be content with him being a triple changer IF he's a leader class.

He's meant to be tall enough to be intimidating, I don't want him to end up like tidal wave

>>5831006

Tidal Wave was pretty big, mate. We're talking Armada Tidal Wave, right?

Anybody got any links to the UK versions of the original comics? CBA to go into the loft

>>5831010

>>5831013
>>5831012

Aaaah righto I see what you're saying now.

Well, who knows, they might pull something interesting off and manage to make him right tall, like Lockdown.

>>5831015
Tidal Wave likely WON'T be very tall, but Broadside was never to scale either.

>>5831015
But he'd be tall and lanky, I want him more beefy.

Maybe when the time comes I'll track down the old toy, but if he looks good I might be ok...

>>5831016
Even so he was still larger than most bots, but I do suspect the mold was made for him since he ain't in tidal wave's class...despite turning into an aircraft carrier (did he ever turn into that in the show?)

Good for viewing news before everyone else, most of it isn't in english but the images and emoticons in post tell the story

My "buy list" for Titans Return is fairly small.

Deluxe-class: All 7 of the original Head Masters. Probably Hot Rod too. That's it.

Larger Toys: So far only Sixshot and a Greatshot redecos if it happens. Just not interested in the Triple Changers, Boom boxes, PMOP or Galveston. Alpha Trion is okay. Need to see better pictures of that one.

My largest buys will be the Titan Masters. I have all 8 from 2016 already. They're the best Transformers toy crack since the Mini Cons and Micro Master patrols.

The three new molds in Wave 1 of 2017 are just tiny delights. Can't wait for them. The rest of the 2017 TMs are likely to be just as awesome, so I'm getting them all. Even the repaints. Bring on more tiny Beasts!

>>5831133
Hm? make your point instead of just posting a picture.

>>5831152
Galvatron not Galveston. Stupid Auto correct. Oh well. Don't want either one.

Have a question for you guys.
I recently started collecting again after a hiatus and started by buying combiner wars bruticus.
I'm impressed they seem to be giving bots ankle pivots these days, anyways I fell in love wi9th him so bought the perfect effect hands and feet upgrades too.

Anyway my problem is with his legs, or rather onslaughts combiner legs. They are held together with a single peg that DOES NOT support the weight of an entire robot dangling from it. They slip apart easy causing onslaughts real legs to fold out and giving bruticus extra long spindly legs.

Surely I'm not the only one having this problem and is there an easy fix?

>>5831142
Thanks. How do they get so much so early?

>He cannot remain inside when the "Magnus Armor" is transformed, but he can transform into a Cybertronian hovercar which can then tab into a set of three grooves on the lower level of the Ultra Magnus trailer.

Uh, how? I'm not seeing these three grooves in CW Ultra Magnus' trailer.

No idea, I know my normal dealer (premium collectables) had their pre-order set for August, and their stock is usually from hasbro asia, perhaps those guys pushed them out faster than US retailers.

You could try asking them, I seen a few english posters post, but they aren't common and get a low response rate (which is why I lurk)

I think I know the problem, was common on defensor but less so on bruticus.

Mind posting pics for clarification, sounds like the leg struts not being aligned correctly.

(If its g2 bruticus you may of had a faulty one, they have issues other than the g2 colors)

It'd still be possible to have them and the og triple changers, could've replaced the likes of Galvatron and that terrible looking Alpha trion with them.

Apparently Alpha Trion is getting an extensive Magnus/PMOP level retool in the next series as Victory Leo. (Or whatever his US name will be.) Not sure if the remold will split apart or not.

>>5831167
It's so stupid, what a oversight.

>>5831180
Speculation or leaked info?

>>5831179
Hope so, they just need to change the organic looking mane, chest and crotch panels, and well the titanmaster, his flying brick mode already looks like Victory brick.

>>5831176
>>5831173

When you fold onslaights real legs up to make the combiner thighs, the actual structure is held together by a SINGLE peg. That easily slips out causing the legs to fold apart again when it has the weight of a transformers attached to it. It looks like a design flaw to me since I'm not sure one peg could ever hold all that weight.

Is there a fan transformation or something top alleviate the problem?

>>5831189
just the turning-the-thighs thing, which forces a permenant hip-thrust

The shapeways replacements work miracles, got them for Defensor, Bruticus and Victorion.

>>5831189
It's a known QC issue

I hope his headmaster is a little Ginrai, if they keep the HM. Victory Leo being Ginrai is one of my favorite weird this out Japanese Transformers

>>5831212
If they're doing a PMOP tier retool on him, I'd rather have him combinable with a new mold Star Saber than retain the RE gimmick.

>>5831223
It's his bellybutton

I know this is crazy, but di anyone get a second FM and give the leg cannons to the other figure?

I heard you could attack the cannons to the shoulders as well, and I want to know how it looks with the cannons on the legs, and shoulders at the same time.

>>5831187
The Flying Brick already looks like a homage to VL's flight mode.

I could live with the organic looking bits as long as he splits to form up on a Star Saber mold.

Soda dispenser.

Assuming TR Overlord is a new Leader mold, I think they could pull off a good Star Saber remold with it for the next line.

>>5831179
Because we all know how Apeface and Snapdragon are more memorable and well known than fucking Galvatron and Alpha Trion.

>>5831286
Galvatron, yes, but Alpha Trion isn't that well known. At least Apeface, and Snapdragon got to be regulars in a tv show.

>>5831287
>. At least Apeface, and Snapdragon got to be regulars

They weren't regulars though which goes to show how little known Headmasters is despite the internet.

>>5831179
Galvatron was always going to happen, all the movie guys are getting representation for the 30th anniversary and there's no changing that. Alpha Trion sure was a weird choice though, huh?

>>5831286
There'd would still be more memorable ones to pick from, you popularist.

>>5831294
That's another can of worms altogether.

The movie 30th should have been its own line, make it a "black" series or whatever, then we could have had less filler-masters.

I didn't know they made a toy out of Madonna.

>>5831311
Honestly I think either a TFTM or Beast Wars anniversary line would've been better for this year. But I also really dislike the HM gimmick.

>>5831311
I feel the platinum stuff is enough for those that want movie stuff.

Atleast now I know the plight of the beast wars fans.

>>5831311
The majority of the 1986 Movie characters are in TR because they were in the 1987 Target Masters assortment. The Platinum line is the Movie celebration line.

Beast Wars will have its day, just not the immediate future. The 1987 thru 1990 catalogs are too full for BW cast to be filler just yet. Maybe post-Prime Wars.

Me, I've got Sentinel, Blurr, Skullsmasher, Hardhead, Clobber and Apeface.

I plan on getting Weirdwolf, Mindwipe, Hot Rod, Doublecross, Kup, Nautica, Perceptor and Overlord if he turns out good. Also Swoop, Fangry and Sawback Titan Masters.

I just don't get people are excited for shit like this. These aren't those characters, they're just their heads.

I'm binning every single Legends vehicle and bodyless head dude I end up with from Takara's line. Absolutely no purpose. Anyone that's happy with Goshooter's head is only encouraging this shit behavior.

We'd be better off putting that budget towards more Legends guys instead. How about a fucking Browining instead of a bunch of Headmaster Jr pilots.

>>5831387
Might as well, it's not like Walmart carries Transformers anymore. I haven't seen them since last year.

>>5831431
>How about a fucking Browining instead of a bunch of Headmaster Jr pilots.

Can't say I don't agree with you, It would have been great had all the extra heads had just been characters who already got toys a while ago, or new guys, not characters who still haven't gotten toys and might not get one soon.

I really wanted a new Headmaster Jr's, and Nightbeat.

why bother with Takara then?

>>5831443

Not him, but the TR line so far is a landmine.

Takara Scourge and Blur are so much better than the Hasbro ones because of the colors, but Hardhead and Skullcrusher on the Hasbro side shit all over those mushy faced rejects on the Takara side, as they have the superior deco and facial sculpts. Plus don't cost 2x as much.

tl;dr If you're smart, you'll buy Tak Blur/Scourge and Has Hard/Skull.

you literally fell for the hasblow lie.

>>5831103
Yes I'll likely get the Hasbro version and hope for a big sale like hlj did on uw devastator

>>5831431
Here's an idea, don't buy them and stop being such a baby when other people have a different opinion that you. It's just toys, not RL issues that actually matter.

There's obviously a lot of people who DO like them because they're fun. Which was the whole purpose of toys before nostalgia became a thing.

To the reasonable people who don't know, the $10 price point isn't as strong a seller as the $5 or $15 Deluxe lines. Hasbro will likely use that price point to fill out the Cassettes, Mini-Autobot, Seeker and Insecticon lines, and maybe introduce other Minibot lines like the Throttlebots, Firecons, Sparkabots and the Triggerbots/cons. That's a better use of the price point than making large toys as minis. (Yes, I remember the Seekers exist in this scale. They are just for inexpensive Troop Building, not to replace the main Jets.)

>>5831449

Sorry, but Hardhead ain't shit brown and doesn't have a down syndrome face, and Skullcruncher doesn't have a downy face either.

Takara fucked up, hard, with the colors and faces for them.

>>5831454
And no, Hasbro is not doing away with the $5-6 price point anytime soon. After the Deluxe, they are the best selling price range and have been for years now.

Hasbro knows that kids LOVE owning piles of little robots. Adding a secondary function to them like the Target Master weapon modes and extra heads is just gravy and entices them to buy the more expensive figures in the line.

That was why Armada became the best selling line up since G1. Minicons. Minicons. Minicons. We have 24 Titan Masters coming in this range. Expect more if they sell anywhere near Minicons levels, even as just dollar store exclusives like the Minicons became.

>>5831277
Considering he and saber have huge shoulder pylons and a wide frame, it'd be a good template for sure.

Looks pretty close to the Takara toy.

meanwhile the hasbro one has a mouthplate, which doesn't appear in Rebirth, Headmasters, the comics, or any of the other fiction.
