>>5839768
Rodimus prime.

-Human critiques make him emo, tried to drop out from the autobots.

- Lack of strategy gets almost all the autobots infected by the red plague.

- Only solution he came with was to revive Optimus.

- Gets Cybertron blowed up.

- Says fuck it and just ran away with Blurr and Kup leaving Arcee and Daniel with some stranger they just meet.

Still better leader than anime Chromedome.

At least Optimus didn't blow up a fucking populated planet just to stop the decepticons from stealing its energy, nor he needed to shortcircuit himself in order to talk to the matrix because he didn't know how what to do without help from the ancient autobot leaders. And Cybertron exploded when Rodimus was in charge, too.


He's the worst Autobot leader ever.

Picked up Rewind today. I am really liking Titans Return so far

Man, it's taking forever for the Japanese sites to put up the Legends pre-orders.

Yeah, Rewind is great. So at least this time around all 4 manbot minions for Blaster & Soundwave are going to be good. Unfortunately, the bird mold is a bit meh, and the beast mold is pure shit.

>mfw they didn't make a CW sideswipe to go with sunstreaker

He isn't even a great figure or anything but I wanted them both. I don't have the Universe ones either.

>>5839879

The toy had better fucking have a helicopter mode this time

>>5839884
They probably won't remember he had that in the movie itself, let alone the toys. And hell, he might be back for 5 seconds to die for all we know.

>>5839879
So if you want a rainbow Drift corps there is a cheaper option than SG Drift for the red one.

So I just found some TR stuff in my area and the pegs are almost all gone, I found one of Scourge, Blurr, Ravage, and Sentinel Prime. At least I found them in my area now.

>>5839882
I'm a bit more disappointed we probably won't see a Headmaster Ratchet, Ironhide, or Sunstreaker.

A retool of the old Universe Sunstreaker that removes the head reveal gimmick, an dads a cockpit could work, but the figure's too old for a change that major.

>>5839879
Toy would look good fighting that ROTF Bludgeon.

>>5839882
Just get FoC Sideswipe.

>>5839899
>a one-step vs a Golden Age voyager
Yeah, no.

>>5839897
We desperately need a new CHUG Ratchet.

>>5839879
They couldn't have just switched around Drift's and Hot Rod's color schemes. It literally feels backwards. Hot Rod should have the all-red color scheme, while Drift has the mostly black with red highlights design.

>>5839907
I'm not even sure where all that red is supposed to come from. IIRC, his new car is similar to the old one in that it's mostly black (or nearly black) with only a colored trim.

>>5839904
Isn't that mold total garbage, though?

>>5839821

Was the Transformers fan base even a thing back then? I know kids watched it but when exactly did Transformers gain an adult collector following?

>>5839921
Exactly. Hopefully this is just some kind of concept art mix up.

>I know kids watched it but when exactly did Transformers gain an adult collector following?

When some of those kids grow up into manchildren.

>>5839924
In the late 80s, there seems like there were some basic fan groups sharing fanfics and the like (I think this is where James Roberts got started doing fan stuff). But I imagine the fandom as we know it today didn't start until usenet groups in the mid-late nineties.

>>5839798
chromedomes not a leader though. fortress is.

>>5839929
I want to just take RiD Ratchet's head and put it on an extra First Aid and repaint accordingly.

>>5839932

Neat. Thanks Anon.

>>5839933
He was until Fortress took command, he was BAD at it, but he technically was.

>>5839959
Fortress has always been their commander since the beginning of the Japanese anime.

Robot mode is nearly perfect. The back legs in beast mode bother me, but there's really no way around that.

>>5839975
Also dont forget the extra vehicle mode for the little guy.

>>5839980
That is uuuugly.

I am digging the gun thing though.

After a Dinobot and maybe Megatron, I really want a MP BlackArachnia.

>>5839999
Unpossible.

>>5839980

Well that sure is different. A lot of these Takara releases aren't necessarily better or worse. Just different.

>>5840003
Even with today's tech and enginnering?

Should I just drop money on TFC Hades instead of the upcoming Liokaiser from Combiner Wars? It honestly looks like junk and the only saving grace is third party parts on it.

>>5840005
I think it looks nice, but I'm not a fan of Brainstorms anime face.

>tfw no worthwile Airazor figure ever

>>5840009
I would say hell yes, even just as a regular CW release I'm not a fan of Liokaiser, and TFC is fucking amazing by any standard

>>5840005

Most are worse, the anime heads and face sculpts look pretty bad. Blur and Scourge though, they're some sexy beasts.

>>5839986
yeah, that's one of those things beast formers always suffer from unless they go shellformer route, I appreciate that the designers at least shover it to the back with Cheetor and OP so you still get an amazing front profile

>>5840009

Wait to see the Takara one. They might go balls out crazy, who knows.

>>5839991
I guess I might as well post it incase people don't feel like going to tfw2005

well shit balls forgot the pic

also this mode counts as his "gun mode" too after you flip out the handle, so there you are, quad changer, ape, tank, gun, jet

>>5840040
I don't think that's the reason though.

>>5840031

There's nothing wrong with any of them. If anything, some of the Hasbro heads are too divergent and overly detailed in the faces.

I think the best part is even if they don't release a Megalligator and you don't have a Skullcruncher, having BW Megatron pilot an Optimal Optimus clone is still very fitting.

>>5840073
It's all the reason needed if you know what I mean :^)

Dont pay more than $10 or youll be disappointed. The Starscream is much worse because it doesnt have knees

>>5840087
I'm guessing he decided 3/4 isn't so bad.

Can the new cassette-bots fit into G1 Soundwave's chest or the version that can fit two cassettes?

>>5840085
It's still a shame not to have a proper Airazor.
Would it be harder to acheive than MP BA?

>>5839969
>>5839971
>Wheeljack's swords
that's quite clever

>>5840129
>Would it be harder to acheive than MP BA?

No since they're already doing the faux head on the chest they can easily mold in the tits if they're following the American version of Airazor and a trap chest for the Japanese. Either way fanfuccbois will jerk off to that.

>>5840129
>Would it be harder to acheive than MP BA?

Absolutely not.

>>5840087
>>5840104
He says in the episode that he removed the beast mode.

>>5840129
I have the original and it's alright.
I don't think making an MP of it would be too hard.

No, they're bigger and thicker, and G1 Soundwave has like, specific little tracks for the cassettes to slide into. Dunno about MP.

Stupid question, but i need to get it answered

Do the old Power Core Combiner Torso-bots work with the Combiner Wars figures?

>>5840232
You know the answer yourself.

>>5840232
No. The pegs are significantly smaller, as are the toys in general. PCC torsos are smaller than many CW limbs.

>>5840232
There are Shapeways ports that convert between the two but.... why would you want that?

>>5840232
Yes, try it out yourself

>>5840232
The pegs are on the torsos in PCC and the pegs are on the limbs on CW, so no.

>>5840232
The power core torsos are on scale with Basic figures.
The Combiner Wars limbs are deluxes.
What do you think?

Most of the legend class don't, just Rewind so far.

>>5840295

True, but it would've cost nearly nothing to add a slingshot. Rewind's gun would've had more plastic in it.

>>5840284
There was the time Shockwave built him as a tool of war but Optimus Prime affected his personality so he rejected the Decepticons.

>>5840283
would you like a "Micromasters" sub-line eventually?

>>5840298
Rewind's gun also serves a purpose in each mode, what would the slingshot do aside from sit on the top of the car, and the get lost easily?

is that from marvel run or something?

That would be amazing to be honest. Populate my Metroplex and G1 Fort Max some more.

They do and they're quite expensive nowadays even if you just try for the American releases.

>>5840287
I found some guy selling a Wheelie Slingshots on Shapeways. I didn't really like the look but it can be an option.

I'm wondering how Brainstorm will be distributed in Asia, if at all. CW's "exclusive" Quickslinger and Brakeneck was a normal wave in Singapore. The case assortment was 4/4 so we ended up with a flood of those two on the shelves. It will be scary if they bring in cases of 8 Brainstorms as a normal wave.

In Singapore at least, department stores operate on consignment, they are just renting retail space to Hasbro SG. There's also smaller toy specialty shops that parallel import directly from Hasbro HK.

After seeing the reveal of bat prime I decided to get another skull cruncher, titan returns is official in Australia, so on the same day I picked up my scullcruncher from the post office I got the hasbro version as well.

As you can see hasbro has...surprise surprise, failed, granted they're made in the same factories and stuff about takara being indirectly in control of the quality control but the result doesn't help shake my feelings on hasbro.

So for a start, the legs are floppy, I thought I was just rough getting him out of the package seeing how his legs came off when they got snagged on a loose wrap string, but they can't lean or much other than pose, thankfully being a custom piece I do plan to fix that later by gumming up the joints.

But paint qc, mostly the same but in places the hasbro has just too much (I find the hasbro head paint too gummy compared to takara's personally) and then the tampo's for the g1 stickers has suffered, dunno what caused that but one side looks like shit.

But here is the real kicker and what an anon TRIED IN VAIN to warn us about, see how the hasbro one's head is on the floor but he has that ball joint sticking out of the neck socket?

Guess what?
>the head was forced in sideways
Those morons at the factory forcefully rammed the head into the socket, gonna take a bit of wrangling to get that out.

Perhaps takara thought about this, and thus why they kept the head separate to prevent this stuff, overall unless they have more hasbro only deluxes I'll be buying takara only (for the titan masters I'll buy only if I don't get the takara legends partner it comes with, so far only bought crashbash, leaders are takara only for deco and voyagers either way if its good enough)

I will say this, looking at both hasbro and takara hardhead side by side, I say either is good, I didn't buy it though because I have no need for his body, I just wanted a skullcruncher body to double as a megatron

Can not wait for his Superpowers book.

>>5840613
Never had anything that extreme but I've had plenty of toys with stress marks right out of package, obviously as an result of a hamfisted assembly.

Luckily we have Walmart and Target which accept returns.

for some reason the pic here the waists on Crunchy look different from those angles.

Thanks.

He looks more like Hot Rod than Hot Rod does. Good job Bay.

Its just the angle, that said the takara one is a pure white, hasbro is an off white/very light grey, same goes for the chest paint

>>5840382

Here's where I'm at now, not too much change, but a lot have became takara picks. How're you guys going about the line?

>>5840703
I'd say skullcruncher's better.

>>5840675
The guy at the bottom panel is talking all throughout. He is the husband. The girl is the wife. The other guy is their senpai from school. Couple conspired to have senpai do the wife while hubby faps in the closet. Senpai discovered him and apologized. Hubby explains everything

>>5840698
Unintentional comedy, anon.
The fags at /h/ got divided into team senpai and team cuck. They actually thought the cuck was the victim and worshipped him literally.

>>5840741
The chick's husband from how I see reading at least 1 chapter gets off to it and he is the on that instigates the situation. It's literally like that couple in Hensemi.

Any female transformers in the Titans Return line (besides the SDCC Windblade)?

>>5840757

Reportedly Nautica at some point.

She's another Blurr retool.

>>5840598
Hasbro funny enough

In the states and most first world places they have to get agreements from the stores which is why you hit odd situations where products become rare however in most Asain markets they can just sell lots to stores and not have to sweat factory numbers being met or distribution

>>5840703
>wanting a TF character who was never a Headmaster

Hastakucks: just no.

>>5840757
Headmaster Arcee
Nautica

Maybe Minerva from Arcee.

>>5840792
Nah the closest would be from the Chromedome mold with some new moldings especially tits cause Sakamoto would say so.

>>5840790
Would you prefer the shitty Drift repaint then?

>>5840798
Unless Arcee is also remolded from Chromedome, they pretty much have to find another transforming headmaster female carformer to remold her. Minerva is the only well known candidate.

>>5840800
I would prefer a G1 accurate version that doesn't have a headmaster gimmick. But cucks are prone to settling for shit.

According to who? Blurr isn't a sniper either in G1, look at Armada. He isn't part of any elite guard in G1, look at Animated. Then go fuck yourselves

>>5840817
This Blurr isn't intended to be any of those versions, he's intended to be the g1 character who in all their appearances was never a headmaster.

Had you said what >>5840814 said,you'd have a point.

I'd go into why I'd rather he and the other non headmasters weren't in the line, but there's no point, it's all subjective

>>5840821
>he's intended to be the g1 character
According to who? He could very well stand in for the Animated one. Or the IDW one.

>>5840821
He got turned into one on the legends minicomics, just like he didn't had a targetmaster but later he did, things change.

>>5840827
I suppose if you're nearly blind, yeah.

>>5840830
That's to tie into the current line, they're not going to advertise him how he normally is now are they?

>>5840827
>Or the IDW one.

The IDW one is a Drift repaint. For the Titanmaster one, the headsculpt, the alt mode, etc. He is solidly a TFTM inspired figure.

>>5840830
>He got turned into one on the legends minicomics,

A cop out made simply to justify the toy being a Headmaster.

I don't understand the reaching done by people to justify some of these guys being Headmasters. Sixshot, PM Prime, Doublecross, ect.

>they're Headmasters now, hurr hurr

>>5840827
Don't be a moron. He's clearly modeled to be the G1 character.

>>5840833
Good retort
>>5840834
Not anymore. Check the later issues of Windblade/Till All are One. He's looking more and more like his G1 model now.
>>5840837
Says who?

>>5840840
Is he a headmaster in IDW?

>>5840844
Based off the Titans Return oneshot I guarantee you he will

>>5840846
So it'll be a reactionary change and won't be based on anything previously? cause that'll be the same as the legends comics, nothing more that to sell the new figure.

>>5840851
And who's to say that Headmaster Blurr wasn't planned for IDW before it was planned for a toy? This shit is planned years in advance you know.

>>5840852
Sure it was, slick.

>>5840840
>Check the later issues of Windblade/Till All are On

Nope that design is a variation of his design you see in the first Windblade mini and in the previous Not!RID, which is the blue drift recolor. The original Windblade artist made the recolored Drift design more stylistic, but it's certainly not anywhere close to the TFTM/G1 design.

I appreciate the hasbro heads more for attempting the weird styling of the Headmasters toys, but I thin they didn't quite get it right. The 87 toy designs kinda remind me of tokusatsu helmets in a way, like Senta/Power rangers, especially the mouth area. Hasbro took the details but didn't quite match up the style. Still, I prefer them for the most part.

There's this funny irony that the Hasbro releases look like they're patterned after very Japanese designs, while the takara releases, being modeled after a cartoon with a hybrid American/Japanese style, look more American to me.

Nope. None of the tapebots have cockpits.

>>5840984

It's not that much of a letdown honestly. The manbot tapebot mold is great, and the bird is alright. Avoid the beast mold though, it's raw shit.

>>5840986
They don't have cockpits, but they do have those tiny pegs. The bird, and cat have enough for one TM, while the humanoid one has enough for 2.

>>5840986
The cats and humanoids have pegs for titan masters.

>>5840991
The best part is that somehow, the made Ravage even worse than Stripes. So the worse tape mode in the line has an even worse variant.

What's so bad about it?

>>5840283
No Micromasters planned yet, but the Landcross, Monstructor and Dino King teams are going to be the small figures for the post-TR series. If I heard correctly, some of the Action Master partners are going to fill out the waves. About the same size as the Titan Master accessories, but Combiners.

I'd love to see the Micromasters return someday tho. Maybe as the mainline product, since the $5 figures are always so bloody popular with kids.

I think they were probably just trying to make a fun toy based on an existing bit of property. Toys are meant to be compatible with imaginations. Just pretend it's not Blurr. Or pretend it's Blurr's Headmaster brother. The possibilities are endless.

No his way would have both heads facing the same way (unlike this picture, the right way)

>>5841233
the instructions get it wrong.

If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

Have we ever had a really great Megatron toy?

Is this some foreign figure of speech or??

I can't decide if these Anon's are trolling or just never saw any Lewis Black standup.

>>5841269
The latter.
I legitimately thought anon had some sort of financial crisis involving a horse; I've heard crazier.

I, for one, am not trolling. Sorry if I'm missing a reference. Never seen Lewis Black.

That darn Sentinel. He doesn't even have the decency to show up in his full form, just his Headmaster.

>>5841233
My galvatron and skull work best with the heads facing the same way. My hardhead works better when the tiny head is facing the opposite direction of the big bot head. It's weird.

>>5841277
That was actually pretty funny.
Thanks for sharing, anon.

I try. Most of it comes from boredom.

Favorite line? CHUG, I guess. I like the japanese super robot look of a lot of those figures.

I didn't actually have many tfs as a kid. Mostly shitty kos and some random unicron trilogy stuff I got from friends.

Ha!
The motto in black text.

>>5841358

I had to make it black text just so it was legible there due to his arm. Nothing else.

>>5841359
Okay that's what I was wondering.

I think TMs can sit on the bird mold's ground vehicle mode/ Like the tab on the backs of the TM shins section can fit into the slots.

Theyre were never all that big originally.

Would be nice if they could release the vintage Micromaster combiner teams in box sets, like as store exclusives.
