So did they got the rights to his name back? No more Rodimus something something?

And couldn't they added anything to the design to indicate it's Hot Rod? The back wing, pipes on arms...anything?

Way to take one of the more visually iconic transformers and make them a bland bumble bee clone. No spoiler, no arm cannons, just a grey and red humanoid.
>>
>>5837969

They literally designed Cliffjumper and just decided to call him Hotrod.

Further proof Bay has no idea who anyone in the franchise is.

Wasn't brawl from the first movie originally called devastator?
>>
It's funny because in the cartoon now Bumblebee looks just like (and acts like) Hot Rod
>>
>>5838013
Yeah I think the toys were still Brawl but in the movie the subtitles said Devastator iirc.
>>
>>5837969

As far as Bay is concerned, the only iconic Transformers are his ideas for Bumblebee and Optimus
>>
>>5838021
Which is sad because every movie, Bumblebee looks less and less unique.
>>
>>5837990
I doubt Bay has ever drawn so much as two lines for this franchise. Blame the guys actually drawing this stuff; they should be presenting better designs.

>>
>>5838179
Laserbeak is poorly drawn.
>>
>>5838179
Double tape deck is unsightly. It's why I sold mine and bought a TFC Soundwave instead.
>>
>>5838183
Looks like it was drawn by Pat Lee, who doesn't seem to have a great grasp of perspective.
>>
>>5838055
For some reason, I was expecting it to be a voyager-sized one.
>>
>>5838179
Dreamwave art, the double-capacity door fucks up the alt mode, and almost no one could find the thing at retail because of scalpers and limited supply.
>>
>>5838179
It's a poorly articulated 1980's mold being sold for an inflated price?
>>
>>5838209
>waaah it's not reedun

I just got the Titans Return Stripes. the mold is pretty meh, I'm not looking forward to the new Ravage. So what would everyone recommend as the better Ravage CHUG or MP?
>>
>>5838216

>It's gonna be ok, you don't have to cry about it
>>
>>5838221
CHUG if you can track down a set f G1 guns for it. MP is kinda bleh really, but the KO set with him and Frenzy is only $20. There's also a 3P version that's normal cassette size, and that SDCC Baroness pack-in figurine if you can live without tape mode
>>
>>5838221
The alternator. But nah there's not really a good cassette one. Even the MP is meh.
>>
>>5838179
It's not the MP
>>
>>5838203
>>5838188
I like that he can store both tapes (since he comes with two this time) at once, though I agree the double-deck doesn't integrate that well with Soundwave himself. Of course being able to hold both tapes at once is something of a mute point when the set includes cassette cases for both Laserbeak and Ravage, allowing for good external tape storage as well.

Yeah, you can tell that it sucks. So Ravage is also a bust, and Buzzsaw wasn't a good toy either, so I don't think I care much to get this new Soundwave. It should have been an exciting possibility to get the set again, in a pretty faithful to G1 form.

Luckily I still like the video game Soundwave, with the spring-loaded Minions pretty well.

How much did you pay for her? Hopefully it is not the rape prices of Ebay or something.
>>
>>5837905
the engine block back of the head is now just below the back of the head, so there's something.
Also, his door "wings" are tilted down for the moment but I expect they'll spend most of their time up like bumblebee, which'll make it look more like his silhouette.
Plus he's got tall shoulders, and a surprisingly round head, and the front of the car mode is definitely laying flat against his chest instead of protruding out.
and the wheel placement suggests an overall transformation scheme pretty similar to the original.

I think it's just the coloring and lack of panel coverage that throws the look off, but that's all bayformers.

I can kind of see the more humanoid face from 4 behind the red mask. Maybe the red flips up or out of the way? Bumblebee does have a mask after all. Still, it's a shame he's not similar at least in terms of color.

>>5838322
Hmm so it is in the margin of errors then. I got the 3 Decepticon fembots and Arcee since she did get reissued and that's when I got her. I paid like $40 Canadian for each shipped on my end. The problem is finding Windblade and Chromia since I can't find them for not rape prices.

A serious question: do you think non-MP retail Transformers will ever make a return to more POA and more complexity in transformations? I've seen a downslide in quality ever since ROTF, where parents complained transformations were too complex. And don't get me wrong, some of those were absolute beasts to transform. But it seems like ever since then Hasbro just sort of gave up. With each new show and movie and toyline it felt like there were less and less great figures to choose from. And now I read reactions to their figures and I feel like everyone has just decided to settle, y'know? We tell each other that the hyper-simplified figures with rudimentary articulation are good, cause they are good for modern Hasbro. It's like we were brainwashed.

Sometimes I wonder if we can ever go back.

POA will always be in flux. My first transformer, Cheetor from 96,has more articulation than a lot of modern figures. Right now, the headmaster gimmick is really hurting figures' head articulation. Yet, you still have modern figures like Rook with above average articulation for a transformer. I think when we move past gimmick updates, we'll get better articulation as a standard.

Budget wise, things won't get better. That said, I think they're doing a decent job making more appealing toys. Yeah ROTF had a bigger budget and more complex figures with impressive transformations, but ultimately the designs don't appeal to me. Even universe/generations where hampered by bizarre design decisions. With this team, there's less bullshit. There's still some , like holding off on G1 limbs for exclusive release, but at least there's nothing like "TFTM characters must be realistic vehicles because we must synchronize with the Bay movies, which don't have cybertronian vehicles" or "Dinobot is brown and purple because these where his Predacon colors". This new team just needs to make Dinobots to put the last nail in the coffin to Aaron Archer's bullshit about"we can't sell too many toys in the same colors "

>>5838586
The decrease in parts-count after rotf is due to the spike in oil prices and rising labor costs. Oil prices have since recovered and you could see that during TFP:Beast Hunters where they gave everything more plastic and brought back ratchets for voyagers. They have since shifted operations to Vietnam to keep labor costs low but they left all the toy-making expertise back in China and had to start anew. All the QC issues you see in CW and TR are growing pains from that shift. This means that it's probably not a good time to give the viets anything too complicated yet...

He plays a similar role as Optimus' successor. It almost seems like they are trying to replicate the G1 s3 cast in RID

The difference between Bumblebee and Rodimus is that BB told revived-Optimus to fuck off instead of just handing him back the leader position. So in a way he's HotFIXED Rodimus

Robot mode is neat, but having his elbows so high limits the things you can do. Elbow range is actually great though.

Here he is with the best piledrivers I could squeeze out of him. They're alright; the tube detail on the left arm really sells it and I wish the other arm had it too.

Be aware that the mushroom peg that connects his forearms/elbows to his shoulders may pop out with enough repositioning; pay particular attention when transforming him.

Phone mode is an actual brick. It's pleasing to have in your hand, and the stickers are positioned well so there's no rubbing against other parts when transforming him. It's a shame the sides are hollow (and that there's not enough piledriver details to make up for it), but gun storage is neat.

My favorite detail on him is this earphone jack that actually accommodates earphones.

>>5838857
It dawns on me that we still don't know if he's even getting a sword. Why have they not shown it off?

Tank mode is cute, and I much prefer Rumble's painted treads to Rewind's plain black ones.

His gun attaches in a way that gives it vertical movement, which I appreciate.

Overall he's a good figure to have, and a fun toy. I can't quite comment on all of his features because I have neither Titan Master nor boombox, but he stands up fine by himself.

I don't know if I would recommend him to those specifically collecting Legends class though. He's wildly out of scale with most of the other bots, and there the phone mode is useless outside of being a snack dispenser.

That's it for my Rumble blog post.

No, fuck no. Leaving aside that the Stripes mold is crap, even if you did like it, Ravage is worse than Stripes since he uses soft plastic for most of his body.

I'm actually tempted to get this, my problem is the fact I already have the MP, granted its the GOAT version...and from what I recently read we won't get a reissue of takara's mp because like mp-11 it was an asia only reissue, so...gonna need to decide.

I know its a shitty blaster retool but the bot mode apart from the head looks good

>>5838878
I was just about to ask for you to post this, cheers

I doubt it at this point, perhaps a retailer exclusive one he's out, or perhaps hasbro decided to cockblock it.

Also just wave 1, i have to make that clarification because apparently TRU had skipped the first Titan Masters and jumped right to wave 2 which is how i got Brawn and only Brawn. TRU and Target also stocked the new RiD15 Legions, the ones marked for Mini Con Weaponizers. I skipped Bisk because he looked more bug like than lobster like. The upcoming Warrior Bisk is better BUT i might go back and get him just so i have a buddy for Clampdown who's never going to get a Warrior anyway. I bought Groundpounder, though, nice! I fold his treads all the way back on his bot mode because that looks better and silverback

Doesn't have to be the same guy, hotshot is the bumblebee or the series, infact watching it back then I kept thinking why isn't this guy named bumblebee, sure different attitude but thats my belief.

But you're entitled to your opinion, they are 2 different characters, in different universes, just like Char Anznable in gundam and Zechs Merquise in gundam wing
>>
>>5839013
>In an early Armada series bible, Hot Shot was originally called "Bumblebee". His character description says that he is the youngest of the Autobots at "about 16 years of age". The Autobots' teen-aged human allies would have teased him for not being old enough to have a driver's license. It further notes that "Everything about him is fast- including his speech," which definitely wasn't taken to heart. The rest of his personality was as you would expect, being young and brash yet showing leadership potential, and his Mini-Con was still called Jolt. One of the reasons he was ultimately not named "Bumblebee" was because the name was unavailable as a trademark for Hasbro at that time.

>>5839006
G1 Bumblebee and Animated Bumblebee are also two separate characters, but they both play that kid appeal role.

As a contrast, RID15 Bumblebee plays the leader role, while kid appeal is Fixit.

What are you guys doing for weirdwolf? I might go takara, the head's straight up square, but atleast it's trying to resemble something, the hasbro one doesn't really resemble any versions of him outside of base details (visor, rounded head, headgrate in a v (though it's inverted). the addtional paint's a plus, not much use for yellow apeface though.
>>
>>5839059
Sounds like it works for the most part tho. Got any pics?
>>
>>5839077
Going for the Hasbro, the Takara faces look way too generic, so far the only Takara tm worth getting are Blurr and Scourge IMO.
>>
>>5839077
Weirdwolf - Hasbro Wolfwire (I like the Hasbro visor)
Mindwipe - Fansproject Sigma L
Skullcruncher - Toyworld Swamper

Hasbro releases for Chromedome, Brainstorm and Highbrow too.
>>
>>5839085
Takara ones are based on the HM cartoon faces.
>>
>>5839077
>That fucking blob of red
Why are you even asking you idiot
>>
>>5839077
Welp the Hasbro deluxes still aren't out over here so I figured fuck it and went for the Takara version. I like the colour placement, especially in wolf mode and he comes with a little vehicle which is cool.

>>5839085
When it comes to Scourge there's no contest, the Takara version looks much more vibrant I think.
>>
>>5838877
Why didn't he have a faceplate (like the g1 toy) in the Jpn cartoon?
>>
>>5838546
A little of both, I guess? I actually did buy one or two deluxes of characters I just wanted, and they're not really great toys in their own right, you know? They're all about simplification and compromise for the sake of also being an arm/leg. Like, I get what they were trying to do, and even though I still think everything was a bit overpriced, I guess they ultimately succeeded.

I was almost convinced to buy Menasor until I saw how damn awful his lower torso looked, and heard all the horror stories about weak joints and shit. I decided to just avoid the whole rats' nest of self-repair and expensive 3rd party add-ons just to make a decent toy, and saved my money. Although I didn't really, I bought a shit ton of MPs over the last couple of years.

I thought I was out of retail TF completely until I picked up Hardhead because he looked so great in package, which I honestly couldn't say for pretty much every CW toy I saw. It immediately became apparent that this was the first deluxe toy in years that was entirely self-serving.

I think him being a gigantic asshole while also being the most offensively orange TF I've ever seen has sort of cemented his purchase.

He's one of the Primes. That is to say, in IDW there's a lineage of Primes, but most of them are considered to be false Primes.

The original Primes were tribal leaders, thirteen of them, but they either died or left Cybertron. After all of them were gone, one of the tribe of Prima by the name of Nova Major took on the title of Prime, and called himself Nova Prime. Eventually he left Cybertron, too, but he left behind the Matrix of Leadership, which is believed to be what makes a Prime, truly a Prime. Nominus Prime succeeded Nova Prime, but the Matrix was hidden, and he used a false Matrix instead. Nominus Prime was murdered, probably by Sentinel, who was working for the corrupt and oppressive Senate. Sentinel took the Matrix, although he realized it wasn't the real thing, and functioned as the Prime - although still in service to the Senate - until he, too, was killed, by Megatron.

Anyway, he was resurrected and this is his new form.

So he's basically an evil Autobot?
>>
>>5839654
Yes and no. In IDW, pre-Optimus, the Autobots are kind of these tyrannical dicklords who believe in maintaining the status quo and oppressing worker and military type TFs (they believe your altmode determines your status in life...despite TFs changing altmodes all the fucking time) so Megatron basically starts the war because of that

Hahaha, what? He's those colours in every other panel dipshit
>>
>>5839654
Sure.

Unlike in the older G1 cartoons where the Autobots are the pure good guys and the Decepticons are the evil bad guys, more current installments of Transformers (IDW, for instance) have many of the Cybertronian with varying shades of grey. You can have oppressive Autobots who want to maintain control for legitimate (and not legitimate) concerns, and you have Decepticon who truly believe in freedom, but do questionable things to achieve those goals.

Anyways, just recently, I placed an order for PE-10 Bruticus head and weapons, as well as Legends Rewind, so Bruticus can have something to listen to to pass the time.

Good theory, I like it.

Autists on tfw put their sarcastic comments in blue text so the other autists won't think they're being serious.

It's also used by idiots who don't know how to formulate a sarcastic sentence, so they use blue text because no one would think it's a sarcastic statement otherwise.

All aboard the short bus, beep beeeeep.

He wouldn't have been able to do any of that if Unicron hadn't shown up and wrecked the Decepticon's assholes and driven him off Cybertron basically.

People hated Hot Rod as kids because he replaced Optimus Prime in the show. Many people still claim that Rodimus is nowhere near as good of a leader as Optimus in the G1 cartoon despite his achievements.

Unicron supercharged the Decepticons. Hot-Rod was at a disadvantage.

And?

Rodimus killed Autobots while possessed by Unicron.

He's hardly perfect.
>>
>>5839764
And? He didn't drive the Decepticons off, Unicron's actions did.Hot Rod wouldn't have even beat Galvatron without the Matrix.

All I'm saying is Rodimus achieved those things more by the situation he found himself in. If there was no Unicron attack, the Decepticons would have still controlled Cybertron and there would have been a stalemate between these two guys same as the last two.
