I gotta say he turned out really nice.
>>
>>5829817

Solid proportions.
No QC nightmare (so far).
No partsforming.
No wrong colors.
No shit gimmicks.

Best devastator so far imo.
>>
>>5829726
Oh cool, Takara's making MP Trailbreaker next?
>>
>>5829928

No partsforming whatsoever??
>>
>>5829950

The forearms are separate peaces that become little generators to be towed along in vehicle mode but you don't ever have to detach them in any mode.

Mixmaster has a little rubber heel that becomes his missile hat in robot and vehicle mode (It basically only detaches when he's a foot).

But yeah there's basically no partsforming.
>>
>>5829817
That is a godly Devastator.

>>5829817
Been rooting for this guy right out of the gate - glad to see everything seems to have turned out alright.

Personally, I would like to see a Soundwave based on this design. His legends figure left me disappointed so I need something else to fill the void.

I threw together an estimated comparison between these figures based on other images we've seen. I'm actually kind of falling in love with the TransArt version, it improves on the original in a lot of subtle ways.
>>
>>5830026

CW Devastator is 17".

Gravity Builder will be about 15" tall.

I saw a comparison of the CW foot and GT foot and Gravity builder is going to be a lot more beefy looking. UW height comes from mostly legs because of the way the knees work and attach.
>>
>>5830034
I have to commend the TransArt for basically being a straight update of a really shitty design. It's a pretty damn close recreation of the original toy, but with more articulation.
>>
>>5830010
>the literal best, most accurate Devy ever
>shit

Bait/10. Nice try, fuckwad, but no one would ever fall for trolling that poor.

>>5830034
I prefer the look of the Perfect Effect not!Optimal Optimus.

The proportions on him just seem better on him.
>>
>>5830058
>>5830062
I basically see TransArt as more faithful to the original, but PE as nicer in general.

Hopefully both come out and turn out good so people can have the option between them,

This. Alot of collectors that are cheap and bitter about it. I hate to dump on legitimate poor people but it's open season on these fucks.

What are the odds of a third party making an upgrade set for TR skullsmasher's legs?

Mostly because it being done by another company means it won't be a repaint.

I haven't followed third party figures/manufacturers, how is Badcube because Trailbreaker looks awesome.
>>
>>5830203

Generally solid now that they have a few releases under their belt and come with a bunch of accessories. They tend to have stumpy cartoon proportions on purpose. Their transformation schemes as of late have been fairly complicated.

lol what.

People actually chose the TW version over this?

>>5829817
UW Devastator is perfect for me, but this is honestly the best looking 3P Devastator. Even though his head isnt that accurate
>>
>>5829817
Looks better than TW but I still prefer UW Devastator over any of the 3P Devys.
>>
>>5830043
Damn, that's huge. I was referring to the Scramble style combiners but that gives me a good idea of how big he is, considering that the combiners are all about 12" tall, with PE upgrades added.

Also just wonderingg, but how big is Planet X Genesis in comparison to CW combiners?

There's the legends-scale Sixshot. There's also the Clonedroid knock off of Hexatron, which is a bit cheaper.

What shotguns are those? It's so hard to find weapons that scale properly for the combiners and still use 5mm pegs.

Does the shockwave-extender make him look as retarded as it does in the promo shots?

How do the head and cannons attach on? Is he still transformable?

Head is way better in every way. You get a swivel side to side and a hinge up and down, gives about the same range of motion as MP Sideswipe, more than enough, honestly. Makes him look mean as shit looking down on puny things.
The back cannons are alright, good as guns for him but look oversized on Onslaught. Still better than the transformed feet cannons though. Look fucking perfect beyond words on Bruticus' back though, holy fuck.

Shotguns are from this out of date, busted retard. The Fanstoys upgraded ROTF Bruticus. Thing was alright when I got it but it's garbage in every way comparably. Tempted to just sell him on ebay and keep this shotguns and big cannon for the CW one.

Shockwave with the extender in Gun mode looks fine, no complaints. Can still peg into the back. Head and cannons can stay on during transformation to Slaught or truck, no issue there.

>>5831395

Why the shit is his cannon on the wrong arm? Or is that slide piece on his right arm a possible place you can put his cannon on?
>>
>>5831139

Hexatron is amazing, and definitely worth the $120-140 he goes for. Sometimes you can nail him for a bit cheaper on eBay used, as there were 2 versions of him and sometimes people sell one get the cash for the other, depending on their taste.

Just because it's accurate doesn't make the rest of it good. The figures themselves are fucking terrible. I still don't have a Devastator because everyone has a boner for making combiners huge. My only option is Giant and I'm still going to wait.

Might be cool, but RiD has been kind of buried. Doesn't help that every other series is now "Robots in disguise". Shame, because it really kicked off the whole G1 resurgence.

Transmetal II or even regular Transmetal Megatron are probably a given with Optimal Optimus coming. DEpending on how far the BW MP line goes we may see some more gap fillers for that. I feel Dinobot is a given since Takara is probably hesitant to attempt that design and 3Ps won't be as beholden to 100% show accuracy. Back on RiD; I can see TransArt doing a reolded KO of Gigatron to use as Gigatron/Botcon Megatron/Deathsaurus, seeing as their whole MO seems to be doing KOs based on whatever is coming up or has buzz around it. Lots of people want a BC Megatron KO.

I think we'll see more attempts at Dai atlas; specifically an MP style one. and a Victory Leo to go with Star saber now that the option is seemingly not a thing from takara from that last interview at cybertron con.

G1 Megs can also swing his back cannon around underslung style too.

The face looks particularly ugly too.

Fucking third party companies in general need to step up their headsculpt game. Not expecting everything to look as sexy as Generations Springer, but for how much these figures cost, you'd expect the headsculpts to be more decent than mediocre/ass.

Christ everything from the sculpt to the proportions are awkward and that head is doing zero favors. I'm still very worried about the car hood kibble that always looms out of shot from the back.

Iron Factory has this trounced in all categories packaged in a smaller sizeclass.

Was Deadlock in anything other than IDW? And only for the extremely small amount of time it took to tell Drift's backstory of how he went from edgelord to weeaboo?

>>5832267
This looks terrible.
>>
>>5832330
So far only IDW.
>>
>>5832398

Really seems weird he's getting not one, but two figures then. I mean, sure, easy redeco from Drift, but is he even popular enough as Deadlock to even warrant a whole figure to himself when they could just make Drift and call it a day?

That said, I think the figure looks ok.

If you looking for around the typical official mainline scaling you can look at most combiners, MMC's Reformatted lines, Planet X, Fansproject, and Maketoys.

Some get a little bigger but are technically scaled to where you want them. If you don't care for MP aesthetic there are larger scaled toys in the same size range that don't go for the toon look. There's also always the new legends craze if you are into smaller stuff.

>I don't know if it's going to scale well with Bruticus though
well Liokaiser is the strongest combiner, so i like to seem he's also the biggest, it's cool to me that some combiners might be bigger than others
>>
>>5834764
I get that he's supposed to be massive and incredibly powerful but that is pretty big of a size difference. Like, guys like Predaking should be massive compared to standard SC combiners, but I'm not sure about Liokaiser

Also, how big is Star Saber in fiction?

Well, at least MP Saber does scale fairly well with CHUG stuff. And he looks maybe about the same size as a standard combiner, if we were to assume Perceptor and Wheeljack to be Deluxe sized and we ignored mass shifting.

Now, how big is Saber compared to Liokaiser?

oh i haven't got him, but he seems alright

one important thing though, one anon here had a big issue with his killbison, who's combiner port knee swivel was so loose that his liokaiser toppled over alot...

tell me about it..

i mean at least put some wheels on the car robots, it makes no sense

i think lockdown is the only one with wheels, but they're on his ass or something
>>
>>5834801
Victory is actually pretty consistent, scaling wise. Saber is the same size as the average Breastforce member and Star Saber is slightly shorter than the Liokaiser combined form.
>>
>>5832330
The other Drifts in movie and RiD had been called Deadlock in the past but have not been shown. And there was the E-hobby Deadlock.
Not really much, but since Drift is pretty popular and it would be his most obvious redeco seems to happen.
>>
>>5834876
So Saber is around deluxe and voyager size whereas Star Saber is around leader size?
>>
>>5834890
More or less.

It works for the narrative too. Saber is about on-par with the average Decepticon, Star Saber is a slight underdog to a combiner, and Victory Saber is basically strong enough to take on anything.
>>
>>5834801
I hear Hades has sorta wonky knees, but other than that he is all around Solid. I plan on getting him this tax season.
>>
>>5834801
>Mass shifting on Saber

Um no, that is JUST Saber. If you watched that episode that is the first episode where LioKaiser combines and regular Saber fucks all 6 of them to the point they had to combine just to get Saber into Star Saber mode and beat him.

Also like this >>5834876 their scaling in the show was pretty good but the toys were kinda horrible still.

>>5834890
>whereas Star Saber is around leader size
No MP-Star Saber is way bigger than your leader cause he is even taller than MP-Ultra Magnus. His basic Saber for is as tall as voyager/MP cars size, which is how tall he was in the episodes they showed him with the other regular car size Transformers.
>>
>>5834784
>>5834801
There is no mass shifting in any of those, Saber is just the jet into robot mode, Star Saber is the Jet(Saber) + V-Star into robot mode. This post >>5834772 is literally Star Saber without his battle up mask cause that's how he rolls in their base. While this >>5834798 is just regular Saber without the V-Star that he combines with to be called Star Saber.

About a head taller than Classics Prime, so larger voyagers. In alt mode Striker Manus is about the same size as Classics Prime.

>>5837636
Some part of me wants them to do a modern "update" since a headmaster beast riding combiner sounds awesome. That and the theme is unique for a combiner.

The set itself is great and feels authentic 80s as fuck. I love how you can leave the little headmaster guys in for each mode.

Glad to hear the positive feedback on these guys. They look super awesome. I wouldn't mind more modern "redos" of them but at the same time it'll be nice to have a cool looking combiner that only takes a couple minutes to transform back and forth but doesn't have a ton of loose bits lying around like the actual G1 stuff.

On that note are there ANY G1 combiners that have no leftover kibble for the various modes (excluding the Micromaster gestalts)?

Like yeah, ok, the copyright symbols are a little funny, but this mostly just seems pathetic. Someone actually went to the trouble of making these comparison images to mock some kid's original character donut steels? That's pretty fucking sad. And I don't mean for the kid.

Netclow I have dealt with in the past and I bought my Rhadamantus off him now as well and he has a good price for the TFC Hades stuff.

Remember the first rule of eBay: Good deals from chinese sellers are usually frauds or factory rejects stolen from the "Shit" pile of QC rejects.
>>
>>5838568
Yeah but nowadays you can't even tell that cause you might pay an extra $50~60 and still get the ones from the shit pile. I just look at the people with ratings of over 98.5 at least for Chinese sellers cause if people are really not a fan of their product they would do a negative on them so fast. I got scammed by a Chinese seller a few months back cause reasons and he got so much negative feedback to the point his account got banned, when the items were supposed to come in that when I asked ebay to send me back my money, they just went "eh here's your money back."
>>
>>5838581
Oh and I did risk it by the way. The guy had like 96% rating so there was that.

Something about this looks wrong but I can't articulate what about it I don't like. It's extremely frustrating.
>>
>>5838701
For me at least: Side skirts are very long. Feet seem a little short. His head is definitely quite small, but I generally like pinhead proportions so it's ok with me. However, his shoulders are rather wide for such a small head, they make it look even smaller by comparison.

Even with all of this though, this is one of the nicest Megatrons I've ever seen as a whole. In particular, any companies seem to fuck up the shape of his legs while trying to come up with an innovate new handle transformation, but this is nice.
>>
>>5838701
The head looks just a tad too stubby, and the shoulders a tad too big. He looks great imho, but I can see how someone would say he looks "off".

I think it's just that hard angles do it for me but I think this aesthetically looks better.
>>
>>5838710
This one is kind of awful to me.

- All the straight lines make him look weirdly primitive and cheap, like a dollar store Transforming Robot.

- Elbows look very spindly between those massive shoulders and forearms.

- Chest is super wide and his hip joints are set comically close together, giving him this triangular 1920s strongman sorta look.

- His thighs are way too thin.

- Side skirts are awful looking.

- His hands are small for those arms and they don't have a pleasing silhouette.

The worst part to me is those shins/calves though. They're too straight and rectangular, and project back too far from his thighs as well. For some reason, it's a very important thing to me that G1 Megatrons have sloped, curving shins. I have an almost instant dislike for Megs with straight shins--the worst example I can think of right now is Toyworld's Hegemon.

Anyway, this all comes down to opinions in the end I suppose, but I think the Maketoys posted above is far superior to this one in almost every way.

Ok, so it turns out that the Ferrari 599xx (the basis for Disorders alt mode) doesn't actually have tail lights, it has vents in the back where the lights would go and Disorder stays true to that.

It does look cool but what the fuck is wrong with MMC? Is there any reason for the price to be so high?

Backdraft was discounted to 99.99$

Original price on it was 129.95$

That's a lot of projection there my friends. If you weren't this new, you would definitely notice there's something wrong about this figure's price.
>>
>>5839289
A few days before production, they said that if people wanted them to ditch the diecast, they could sell it for $40. That was just before production so the molds were already made which means they indirectly implied the diecast materials cost was $20.

Since that's complete bullshit, it's pretty obvious the only reason they're selling it for $60 is because people are dumb enough to buy it at that price.
>>
>>5831696
Hollow parts does matter. It makes them look cheap and shitty. Visibly hollow parts, that is. Also, almost all of their limbs were fucking terrible. If you look at just their torsos, most look great. Nice head sculpts, spot on bodies. But then the limbs come out and look so bad. Even the limb extentions on some of the Takara ones look bad.

And then there's fucking Long Haul. He's so disproportionate, it's offensive.

>>5831702
Might surprise you, but I only have two MPs. I don't really collect them, so I don't have some abnormally high bar set for my regular figures to hit.

I was miffed as well but after seeing Hulkie I understand why HasTak did that.

English review for DX9 megs
>>
>>5839708
>the backpack
>those hands
>those spindly fingers
>>
After watching the vid I'm def waiting for MT. While there are some interesting things going one with DX9's version he just seems rushed. Backpack anon can scream all he wants but, its down right horrible. Esp if you try posing him there's just no hiding it. DX9 should just scale him down and make him the definitive classics megs.
>>
>>5839708
holy shit that arm transformation, that's fucking sexy, i love all that automorph shit going on, jesus.

the way the legs collapsed together gave me a fucking boner holy fuck.

I really don't mind the backpack at all, but the hands do look quite weird. The front skirt being one piece is also lame but i see why it had to happen with the transformation

Loving the shit out of this figure, who the hell designed this thing, fucking amazing.
>>
>>5838481
I bought a first hand DOTM Optimus Prime with Trailer from him. Floppy piece of shit and one of the arms broke upon opening. I sent it back to him, got my money back and bought another one during my trip to Japan 2 months later.

Don't even bother with him, is what I'm saying
>>
>>5840095
Thanks bro I ended up buying the other 4 limbs on TFW for cheap. I'll probably just wait for Hypno and the last piece and appreciate the other bots for now.
>>
Are there any good third party mods out yet for MP Ironhide/Ratchet?
>>
>>5837636
God these make me wish I wasn't broke...
>>
>>5838701
Is it me or does it look alarmingly similar to Hegemon.....
>>
>>5837636
I would love it if they continued this line. I love the concept but prehistoric animals just didn't really do it for me.
>>
>>5839708

So it comes down to whoever has the better transformation at this point. This'll be hard to beat, it's simple, and it works.
>>
>>5837636
See, I hadn't heard of this until now but this is near exactly what I pictured when one of the fan combiner options was Slammoth.

Mammoth? Check. Sabertooth? Check. Elk thing? Check. Hyaenodon? No but 3/5 ain't bad
>>
>>5837636
I adore this design and concept, but unfortunately not $150+ adore. I'm terrible, I want more original ideas but I don't get around to supporting them.
>>
>>5837636

A monument to why 80's designs were great, but the execution was terrible. We left bricks as toys behind for a reason.

I'll probably get the hands/feet when I nab a Takara version. I'd get the Hasbro, but Takara outdid them this time with their remolds.

I can agree with takara outdoing them. but I have more of a fondness for the toy than the animation accuracy.

Other than the fact that the arms aren't even pretending to transform into something this looks quite alright.

What is Galvatron supposed to be? A satellite? A SPESS artillery piece?

A functional cannon. He was never meant to be anything specific than functional, retard.

Yes, you're confused. Hasbro fans tend to be retarded so I'm not surprised you can't understand a basic concept.

List of third party things you've bought this year?

MMC Cynicus,Anarchus,Commotus and Spartan

I also just bought the first 4 limbs of TFC Hades yesterday.

I'll more than likely get the 2 final limbs in the future along with Carnifex this year.

Having with just Hexatron last year this has been a crazy road.

Different Anon but I'm ansty about them to. All I'm saying is these have been delayed like five times already. And there have been sets given out to reviewers already!

I would just like to know a general ETA beyond the incredibly vague "3rd Quarter". If they're that close to completion they ought to have something more concrete, right?

How was the execution "terrible" if it accomplished exactly what it set out to do? It's SUPPOSED to look and feel like a lost G1 combiner, not a flashy new set of figures.
>>
>>5841392
Just started collecting third party stuff. So far I've got IF's Blizzard, and i'm waiting on Evil Lord and Soul Reaper to arrive. I plan on getting Pink Assassin, Lord Scorpion and their Sixshot when they're released as well. Thinking about getting DX9's Doombringers as well.
>>
>>5842143

I was a little unclear. I meant the execution of 80's figures was pretty bad in general. G1 stuff was barely articulated bricks. While it's "nice" to see a throwback set, it just feels like a waste of time in this day and age.
