No. Toys still aren't available. Also do not care about beast/monster combiners. At least my Legends Galvatron is enroute.

>>5832818
Holy shit CW Abominus when?

I just want the final Scramble City combiner finished damnit

>>5832867

not much retooling they can do with those molds/designs though.

Maybe Monstructor but that's not enough for Hasbro.

>>5832869
They could literally retool them from existing molds though. If Hasbro could pull the retool from Scourge to Highbrow they could definitely pull off Abominus from various existing molds (ie: Blot from Rook with a fanmoded alt mode)

>>5832818
Given the whole Post-Movie and Headmasters characters, I wouldn't dismiss the idea of Predaking as another Titan class combiner sort.

As for Abominus/Monstructor/King Poseidon, unless they are a mold-sharing triumvirate, I wouldn't get your hopes up...

They can release them (and the headmasters they stupidly decided not to do) in future generations lines.

>>5832881
>Abominus/Monstructor/King Poseidon, unless they are a mold-sharing triumvirate
I don't see why that's unlikely. Hell, Predaking sharing some of the molds would make it even easier.

>Birdbrain/Snaptrap
>Hun-Grrr/Razorclaw
>Icepick/Blot/Nautilator/Tentakill
>Wildfly/Divebomb/Cutthroat/Seawing
>Scowl/Rippersnapper/Skalor/Overbite
>Bristleback/Sinnertwin/Headstrong
>Tantrum/Rampage
>Legends Slog

Granted, these need creative remolding and could be shuffled around a bit.

So, is there a reasonable place to buy individual Titan Masters right now? I want the first wave except for Scaredbeat, and I only want Apeface from the second. I've looked around and everyone is either sold out, overpriced, or only wants to sell entire waves.

>>5832961
I'd say you should just wait a few more weeks for TR to be more common in physical stores. As with the first few waves of any line, those figures should be plentiful given enough time.

Is that the new Perfect Effect set? I'm glad they managed to near-perfectly match Shockwave's purple, but I still think that piece in particular was unnecessary.

>>5833023
Yep, the new Perfect Effect set.

The Shockwave piece was necessary but IMO they didn't execute it too well. It's heavy as fuck and Bruticus has problems carrying it.

Everything else is beautiful thogh

>>5832818
As much as I want to splurge on any official stuff, I will have to save them for later cause I just really fell in love with TFC's Hades. That not LioKaiser is the only thing that will clear my pallet of the Hasbro one. Since as much as I want the G1, it is about $500 more expensive than getting the 3p version and Killbison's GPS vulnerability scares me even though people has said he doesn't suffer from it.

>>5833023

>According to Hasbro Australia representatives and designer Eric Siebenaler, all of the Transformers toys jointly developed between Hasbro and Takara/TakaraTomy are manufactured at factories contracted to the Japanese toy company. This means Takara is indirectly responsible for whatever quality control problems you have encountered with your toys, so you can stop complaining about it being entirely Hasbro's fault.

>>5833055
The 5mm port at the back of Bruticus is still functional so yes.

He works well as a rifle but like the Motormaster upgrade you could tell this was only designed for gun mode

I'm still amazed at how much people are enjoying high school Hardhead and how the pre-order for Animated Skullcrusher sold out.

But, no, you're totally right. There is absolutely no excuse to not have those features, aside from the fact that there are totally valid reasons for it to not have those things.

So I haven't been around for the recent threads but I've seen some pictures of the new Sixshot. The white plastic on his head and arms looks like total crap, do you think it's partial resin prototype or will it really be that bad?

>>5833139

Hasbro's head sculpt definately references the original toy best. The weird eyes and nose are actually also molded on the original. Just that they left the top "nose" black between his eyes.

Takara made a sweet version of the Rebirth / anime head. But if you remember the toy more like I do the Hasbro one probably calls to you more.

/pol/ is much easier to offend. Tell them "Zimmerman is a murderer", "Snowden is a true patriot", "the Holocaust is historical fact" or "Trump is a rapist Jew", or any other factual statement.

>>5833185
Agreed. I might've went hasbro, but they gave the designer to much freedom of interpretation, to the point I'd say it's detrimental.

I have no link to character myself (He didn't really do anything in the rebirth or the original comics) so I went with what I thought looked better.

>>5833204
I've seen a lot of people being laughed out of threads on /pol/ for saying that kind of stuff.

Alright, so, after going over all my figures, no transformations yet except Wheelie just to see how he tabs, heres whats up with'em, just so other Anon's can compare and contrast with this Anon's, or so they can see what shits like fresh out of the pack for me.

>Blaster
So far, fucking perfect. Ratchets are solid, everythings moving fine. Looks great. I had G1 Blaster as a kid, so this is a nice thing to have an updated version. Wish they went with a more cartoon head, but I like his toy one too.

>Wheelie
Ball joints for the elbows are a little loose, he's probably going to get the ol' futureshine treatment. Tabs together just fine in vehicle mode for me.

>Skullcruncher
Hip ball joints and left fist are loose as a motherfucker. Futureshine'd within 5 minutes of pulling him from the package. We'll see how he is in a day. No problems with his HM, thankfully.

>Hardhead
The upper hinge for his shoulder gun is a little loose. HM is fine, no issues otherwise. Fucking love him already.

>Groove
Hips are almost as loose as Skullcruncher's, the upper rotation joint for the bike is frighteningly tight especially when paired with those thin stalks of plastic, and his right elbow is kinda loose-ish. Probably gonna futureshine him later maybe.

Haven't toyed with him much yet, getting to it, but he seems fine from an initial cursory look. Head up/down hinge might be a bit loose for my liking though.

>>5833564
Actually, Scourge is one of the cheaper deluxes they're selling. He's like 24 bucks online. He's still more expensive, but it's not that much compared to Hardhead, and Skullcruncher (since those include vehicles, and not everyone likes those).

He's honestly the only cassette redux I've liked so far. He managed to have 3 modes, and they're all good. His arm articulation isn't fantastic, but it's good enough for what he is.

I just hope they color differences between Eject, and Frenzy so I can get those as well.

>>5833592
>I just hope they color differences between Eject, and Frenzy so I can get those as well

Mangled that all up. I hope the color differences between Eject, and Frenzy are noticeable enough so I can get those as well. It would suck if they're both blue.

>>5833597
Well frenzies dark blue and Eject is usually light blue.

>>5833599
I just don't want the shades to be too similar. As long as Frenzy's dark blue, or dark purple, while Eject stays light blue, then I'm fine.

I'm also not sure if I should wait a bit longer to see if they're also making a Twincast, or SoundBlaster, or just get Blaster or Soundwave.

>>5833471

Abby Trott (Windblade) is actually a legit VA, she voice acts in anime, weirdly enough the week before they annouced the cast, I watched the Seven Deadly Sins and she voiced Veronica in the dub. she's also voicing Maya Fey in the new Phoenix Wright game.

Honestly she's one of the few good/decent voices in this.

Dashie is shit as Menasor. the autotune effects on his voice is ass.

The only other voices I might like is Rodimus and Devastator since their VA's have more experience, Ben Pronsky and Patrick Seitz.

Takara'd probably do them since their line is all about the headmasters anime.

>>5833133
Probably his instructions, since the legs look fucking stupid like that.

>>5833571

Well, it takes time to think up something even remotely worth posting. Most of it is inspired by what Anon's here say.

Also, it takes me a while to properly "play" with my toys, since, well, I go through all their transformations and do joint checks and the like and it takes me some time as I do it between doing other things, like cooking/eating/etc.

I only just now transformed Blaster, for example, into boombox mode. Haven't even gotten to base mode yet.

>>5833324
>polynyan trap body

I'm not giving you shit, surprisingly. I just thought those Polynyan things were a lot smaller.

>>5833649

Actually bought the trap body because I have a lot of the QB series of Revo's, and a few of their clothes will fit'em, and I have very few male figures (not counting my TF's). Figured shotabot would be a good addition.

>>5833470
Sounds like someone shoved their Mary Sue in your mom

>>5833621
Never said he was autistic for collecting. So the fact that we all collect has nothing to do with it.

>>5833653
Been thinking about getting a Polynyan figure. I'd go for a traditional girl shape, even though I'm a huge fan of traps. I couldn't be arsed to buy clothes for it, so I might go for one of the more robotty ones coming up.

>>5833669

Well, they have some QC issues so just make sure you buy from a place that allows returns. Mine didn't seem to have any issues that I can tell. Probably gonna pick up either a second shotabot or maybe the girl at some point, assuming they don't sell out.

>>5833506
I like Wheelie, but I'm extremely annoyed about the tabbing sections since they work, but require more work than they should. Would have been better if they just used a square peg hole, and square pegs on the arms.

At least his colors look better in person.

>>5833673
Eh, if there's a possibility they sell out, I probably won't. I always drag my feet on these things.

>>5833558
I guess he looks okay but I'm at a point in my collecting where any deluxe without waist articulation is an automatic pass.

>>5833701

Well, they're fairly popular and it's a small company. If you want one, you better not drag too long, otherwise you'll end up looking at the $200 aftermarket like I was with the white versions, with these new greys.

>>5833682

Mine pegs in nice and solid, so it might just be a QC issue, not a mold problem like it seems to be with Skullcruncher, who I've not seen have non-shitty hips.

>>5833739
Mine has the tabbing issue, and another problem with a leg (the ball joint slips out of the socket when in car mode, waiting a day to see if the tabbing issue persists after fixing the leg).

Wow, that's a lot. I've never spent so much on a single toy. How much are they usually?

While I'm at it, could I ask you for a really huge favor? Could you take a photo of Shotabot standing on a CD/DVD/media disc so I can get a solid idea of the scale? Standing or lying down?

In return, I'll post a non-memed Uncle Screamface.

They're around $50-70 depending where you buy from. But the aftermarket from them will destroy your asshole, anywhere from $150+ usually for the original white shotabot and tittybot.

And heres as best a size comparison I can provide, him next to some Legends, a Deluxe, and a Voyager. I couldn't find my damn tape measure or any rulers.

>>5833451

I bet those faggots gave it glowing praise, too.

>>5833789
No media discs? That's okay, I happen to be playing with Hardhead and that gives me a pretty good idea of the size. Thank you very much!

This is an example of someone being a bro. I appreciate it.

>>5833795

Yeah, I figured figures would give a better idea of size. He's almost up to Hardhead's head, so that puts him at around 6" or so, since Deluxes are around 6", give or take a smidge. Legends are around 4-5", and Voyagers sit around 7".

>>5833798
Thank you again. That's a little expensive for me. I still don't ever unbox my Revoltech Yotsuba or SHF Yellow Ranger, so I don't have any reason to think I'd do much with a Daibadi figure. They look really fun, though.

I can only buy one at this moment:
Combiner wars Vortex or Onslaught?

>>5833819

Do you need a limb or a torso more?

Or if that doesn't matter, Onslaught. Love'em.

>>5833807

Well, I figure if I can blow $50 on a big hunk of plastic (Blaster), or $60 on some smaller ones, I can spend the same on a single.

>>5833822
Doesn't matter at all to me since they'll be in robot mode 99% of the time. I'm leaning more towards Onslaught as well since he's one of my favorites.

>>5833827
CW Onslaught is great.

BBTS put up new preorders for RiD Warriors.

75 butt fucking dollars for Bisk, Ratchet, and a Quillfire repaint. Fuck that.

>>5833819
Vortex you might have another shot at Onslaught, he kind of shelf warms more than Vortex.

>>5833819
Onslaught, Votex has lots of quality control issues, mine came with his left hip joint broken (cap around the ball), the helicopter mold also has issues with the combiner port breaking, I got stress marks on the weapon ports near the rotor on my blades (the red helicopter repaint).

Has brainstorm started showing up at walgreens?

>>5833855
Isn't that Ratchet just a shitty, unpainted, half-assed Strongarm retool? Bisk is the only one worth buying.

>>5833927
Haven't seen him, and the site hasn't updated with him either.

Unrelated to that; would you guys like the Hasbro Computron more if they at least bothered to alter the combiner head and chest to look closer to the model they used in the Machinima series?

>>5833451
Man, that animation is super lazy and boring. that falling from the sky fight was just repeating the same attacks over and over, with bits eventually falling off. And everything is super slow and floaty.

>>5834047
They're probably stolen from the factory or something.

>>5834053
That's a bit odd considering there aren't any factories I know of here.

I'd assume they were bought at early released retail since we also got incredible numbers of deluxe Grooves too

I got Sentinal Prime yesterday.

My thoughts on it:
Shuttle mode refuses stay together,
Train mode is slightly better seeing as it's really half of a decent train with a weird space ship attached to the top.

Infinitus (and every othe Titan head) is WAY smaller than anticipated. I expected small, but daaang.

Robot mode isn't too bad. I'm pretty sure I'm still going to pick up Astrotrain because I fucking love the headmaster gimmick.

>>5834015

Technically the hands and feet count as partsforming. Looks like le grorious nippon can't save you on that one either

The CW stuff has MINIMAL partsforming, and even the stuff you do partsform have a use in each mode instead of being a giant block of plastic that doesn't do anything. It isn't an excuse to suddenly have more.

> plus its pretty damn accurate,
Yeah Nosecone being a backwards tank with Brawl's head and Lightspeed literally being a different colored Streetwise with the lightbar still there sure is accurate

>>5834137
>instead of being a giant block of plastic that doesn't do anything
It turns into a shield for Scattershot/Silverbolt to use

They called it a trilogy with the next one being the last part. I think the idea is that they're shooting to get all the characters from the G1 cartoon an update in a classics line.Some people are speculating they're doing bunch of beasts since that's mostly what remains missing. After that, who knows? I'm pessimistic enough to think we'll probably just keep cycling through 84-86 characters, but doing classics G2 or Micromasters would be cool too. I cans see a Micromasters line being next year's line up, too.

>>5834221
>I'm pessimistic enough to think we'll probably just keep cycling through 84-86 characters

Not sure it it was in a interview but it's been said that John Warden wants to have the same major characters available year round. Like Bee Prime megs, etc

>>5834221
A line where they reimagine archetypes to different setting might be cool. Like one were they have altmodes for space exploration with a big cargo spaceship Optimus Prime that can have Jetfire dock with it for giant mode and guys that turn into things like a rover, satellites, all kinds of crazy space fighterships, mining vehicle, alien monsters, etc.

>>5834231
Anon you need to keep your great ideas to yourself and fuck off back to lala land, thanks for setting me up for disappointment because nothing would be as cool as what you just said.

>>5834286
Headbutt/pincer/wing flapping/launcher kind of gimmick but actually make the toy function instead of poorly done alt ones?

>>5834287

>>5834287
Machinima and Hasbro were both hyping the series for more than a year and it sucks, the fan made 10~30 minute ones have more better plot and production for having no production budget.

>>5834292
Actually, now that you mention anniversaries, next one would be in 2019. Assuming the line Trypticon is in (since he's scheduled for 2017) and he fact anniversary lines run a year early, we might get an T30 style assortment in 2018.

Walmart seems to be putting their shelf-warmers on clearance, finally.

CW Legends are 7 dollars, down from 9.
RID minicons are 2.50.
RID minicon 4-packs are 9 dollars, which is the biggest drop, but they only have the set with the binoculars and not the one with 4 weaponizers.
RID legends are also 2.50 I think.
And the big RID Optimus is 15 dollars.

They don't have anything new though, just the same old shit now for cheaper. Speaking of which, CW Skywarp's soft rubber parts are such bullshit. The front cone fucking bends just during transformation. Returning it tomorrow because it's not even worth the clearance price.

On a side note, this is possibly the worst execution of storage for a weapon ever. Now, it's a damn good idea and it's handy, but theres virtually no way to get the thing out easily once it's in there. I had to resort to tweezers inserted into the hole in the handle of the gun, and prying it out like that, since the barrel is so thin I don't dare try to bend the arm or anything to pop it out as that'll probably break the gun.

Don't play it, but since it's an APP game, I don't think you can avoid it.

Someone post those JUST Combiner Wars stock photos

>>5834568

Really? I'll have to try that next time then.

Don't worry. Took me about 2 days before I noticed. Mainly because I never put him in that mode.

August 27.

Remember, Takara releases everything the last saturday of each month.

It was a decepticon ploy.

This was show along with other toys that would show up in Titans Return. The rest have been released, but this car wasn't.

>>5834562

who?

>>5834661
Because he was salty about the Combiner Wars version not having a trailer.

Either that or he thought his truck should be driven on the road like a real truck. I have autism myself, though I'm advanced enough to be aware thay sitting in the middle of the road antagonising police like a damn retard is a bad idea.

>>5834709
The Singapore national anthem always made me cringe. It was a combination of the horrible fucking melody and the choice of language

But good pickups

>>5834698
The designs were changed after that.
Fort Max no longer has the big crazy tank treads. It's pretty likely that the entire mold was just rejiggered into something else, like the wheelie or bumblebee mold.

>>5834718
I wish he kept those treads, I felt like that rounded up this new version of Fortress, and set him apart from the original.

Tricerashot, the only new mold of the wave.

Happy looking artwork.

That orange plastic is the Sentinel Prime plastic. I don't like that orange.

So I'm the anon who roughly 10 hours ago >>5834076 who posted about getting an SDCC fort max.

I'm thinking of doing a show and tell, *might* be a little while (gotta sneak him him around, I apparently don't have space and was told not to add more to the pile) but I'll be posting pics, my main concern will be "fortress" qc inspections, does anyone have any questions about it aside from deco (closer to anime yet also retains some of the hasbro toy color choices) mold (same as all other fort max's aside from the fortress titan master face) stickers (pre-applied including the gold ones on the sword) and accessories (unless you want to see the poster).

So, ask away, will be posting later.

(Also incidentally the delivery came as I was pulling out my driveway, truck blocked me so I ended up being 5 mins late to work, best excuse ever)

TF_Yuki shows off super ginrai's wrist articulation, did the original have this, I don't have any versions of the mold yet?

...also LOOK AT DEM HOOVES

>>5834552
I got the Pokemon GO one, but the one with Victorion doesn't make sense.

>>5834805
This photo just emphasises how bad Ginrai is.

How do two seperate companies fuck up both of their versions of the same figure?

>>5834806
I got it.

It implies superion FUCKED victorion and she had an STD that caused his crotch to burn

>>5834809
Neither version is shit, but takara's feet do stand out for all the wrong reasons, to the point people forget hasbro's unpainted hollow arms using shitty grey plastic (but takara could also be using it, we haven't see it yet)

The mold is proven to be fun, and I honestly I have no objections to either PMOP or SG, I myself am only getting ginrai over prime since I like the deco more and the amount of retooling makes it essentially the 3rd revision of the mold.

Besides while I can order a PMOP locally I can't buy it in local stores yet, if no one likes either version they might as well wait for an MP, since TF_Yuki REALLY wants to make one and it was 3rd in the fan vote long time ago.

No one really loses with PMOP or SG, they both have one eyesore that detracts from both equally good figures

>>5834816
Yeah, the feet do stand out a bit, but I'm guessing retooling the legs to match would have been too much, plus they still have to make a Godbomber, so the feet being exposed like that makes much easier to accommodate those parts.

>>5834820
Exactly, either that huge gap is to accommodate the addon, or they have another purpose we haven't see yet (maybe they make the rear of the truck mode look better, they look like they do more than just tuck in).

We have to wait and see, for now there is nothing wrong with going hasbro over takara, heck everyone here essentially aren't really the intended audience takara had in mind for him

>>5834742
Has someone done any custom painting on those Mini-Cons yet? The toys look okay, but the cartoon-style art looks incredible, and it's clear that the sculptors gave the toys those details.

>>5834829
There is one incentive to get Ginrai, it's the fact that if they do Godbomber they probably won't re-release Ginrai any time soon, meaning his aftermarket prices will skyrocket.

And I doubt Takara's Godbomber will be compatible with PMOP.

>>5834835

Isn't there an Apex Armor in the list of reliable rumors?

>>5834849
There was a rumored "Iron Apex" deluxe. There was also something about figures working as power ups to others.

Have you been diagnosed as having autism or specifically aspergers syndrome?

>>5834910
I'd like these things if the car didn't stick out so much. Maybe if they were more like J-Decker, or Goldran.

>>5834921
He's more likely than not referring to HFA or Spergers. There's no way a "normal" autist could even gain the ability to type, or use a computer
