takara hasn't used nippon steel since MP-01 and its repaints. It's Grorious nippon plastic now.

>>5841513
It's not for sale actually. The guy wants a figure of each of the 13 primes but he's broke and only has his childhood toys which he breaks apart and turns into these messes... He thinks they are beautiful and damn near perfect. He says "3rd parties are over priced when I can make these myself" sooo... Yeah.

Who cares? It's an alternate dumbed down version for the kiddy line. There's already an accurate Windblade so this existing isn't a problem.

Not the same as Sentinel since this is his first toy (of this particular version) and they didn't even get his colors right.

Before I apply my stickers to this guy, I need to know, does his sticker guide have any mistakes, like Metroplex's did?

>>5841714
do the stickers over all seem worth it?

I'm kinda anti stickers ever since the sheet that came with roadbuster was just a pain in the ass and ended up just making him a bit worse

>>5841720
I don't care much about stickers either, but why not?

This Legion class Groundpounder is a pretty solid little toy. Asymmetrical design is cool, transformation is satisfying.

>>5841720
The stickers make a huge improvement on him. Without them applied he is just a bland blob of blue.

His stickers are also proper foil ones. They are nothing like the crap that came with metro or the generations figures.

>>5841714
No mistakes. It's all straight forward

>>5841489
>Sentinel was blue in g1 though.

Only according to Jim Sorenson's fanfiction and he absolutely destroyed any credibility he had with those Ask Vector Prime Columns or do you want me to remind everyone about transformers gender dysphoria again?

>>5841739

Hah, Walky got so butthurt he threatened to delete the wiki.

>>5841739
They don't even reproduce sexually and their bodies are constructs. What does it even matter if it calls itself a boy or a girl when speaking a language with genders?

>>5841747

It doesn't matter at all, but people are stupid.

>>5841747
Because people have stupidly strong opinions on gender and have decided that a 80s toy cartoon series is the place to debate it with others.

This is a just blue, even more of a cripple Fix-It.

>>5841758

It be great if he's stuffed to the brim full of firepower like Fixit is, but chances are he's just a cute kid appeal character...or maybe he humps Markie Mark's leg.

>>5841763
This might also be one of the most normal feeling guys outside of being a manlet. Alt-mode components are all obvious and feels like a vehicle standing up.

>>5841758
It can't even transform, can it?

>>5841771

Turns into a vespa.

>>5841771
Nigga what, there is a visible wheel, kickstand, seat, handlebars, and stuff. Turns into a wimpy version of a motorcycle.

>>5841758
I'm curious to see this thing in motion. It doesn't have hands or any leg joints other than a hip. This thing is going to look really sad to see move.

>>5841778
It looks too cramped to actually transform, like it's built out of scavenged bike parts.

>>5841782

I think it's Bay trying to rip off BB8.

The weird part is that he can do okay kitbashes. I've seen some of his articulated g1 and custom classics style stuff and it looked decent enough.

>>5841830
Guesses include LioConvoy, Vector Prime, Broadside. No one knows.

If you could only have one, would it be Generations Metroplex or Titans Return FortMax, and why?

>>5841844
Fortmax?
He looks less goofy, but big guys are not my thing.

>>5841844
Fort Max cuz headmaster gimmick and compatibility with TR stuff. Also cuz Metroplex never looked bulky enough for me compared to his g1 design.

>>5841823
Man, Astrotrain looks pretty based. Definitely getting him.

Wal-Mart here got a bunch of TR stuff today. Bought Scourge and Galvatron to keep CW Cyclonus happy.

Scourge is great, and other than that stupid helmet thing I like Galvatron. Flipping the gun mode upside down and rearranging the tank treads lets babby Megatron pilot from the cannon's cockpit, which makes the mode look better, imo.

Shame about that head piece though, might be the first time I look into third party fixes.

>>5841823
oh look bitchatron again.

can't wait to get Alpha Trion, he's far from perfect but I'm still hype

Weirdwolf looks pretty cool, better than UUUU imo, also not perfect but fun.

Astrotrain looks just as beautiful as expected, if I didn't already have Fancy Cell I'd be on this one hard

>>5841888
he handles his shit poorly. See the skylynx review where he just whines about the plastic then ham hands the fuck out of it.

There's the Takara-Tomy exclusive repaint. Aside from that, we haven't heard any repaints in the leaks

>>5841927
I would expect every mold to get a redeco/remold. I would have said Fangry a few days ago, but he was revealed to be a Titan Master class.

>>5841927
I assume you know about the Optimus Primal version, since you said main-release. There's some other bat characters they could use but I don't see them doing anything for a main release, unfortunately. It makes me miss the early 2000's, when characters would just get a cool redeco(usually in inverted colors) for no real reason other than to break even on the mold.

>>5841598
/r/, does anyone have that picture of Fanzone calling one of the moonbases from Transformers:The Movie and they hang up on him/get eaten by Unicron?

>>5841934
man that fangry shit really ruses me, I was hoping all the monster bots would get actual figures

>>5841758
>"clean me"
OK, that's a little funny. Not enough to make me watch TF 5, though.

>>5841937
I'm not sure why they didn't just make the titan master class guys get tiny versions of their modes for the second thing. Ones like Apeface and the lion guy that forms a head seem cool enough and the original ones were not exactly complex.

>>5841952
When some of them are so perfect a mini-version of their old selves (like Apeface) it really makes guys like Horri-bull stand out.

>>5841914
So is Weirdwolf's jaw articulated?

To anyone who has the takara skullcruncher, is his facesculpt as soft looking as it did in the promo pics or does it look better in person?

>>5841958
Yep, you can see it in the video linked above.

>>5841961
Sweet. I love articulated beast jaws

>>5841694
What site to preorder Ginrai!?

>>5841947
I was hoping that since Hasbro's trying to reuse as many molds as possible, they'd take advantage of the fact that they could easily reuse or make tons of those characters with minor remolds, or straight repaints:

-Horri-Bull is a retooled Skullcruncher
-Fangry is a retooled Mindwipe
-Pointblank and Getaway would share a mold, but use different heads
-Siren and Nightbeat share a mold, with a different transformation for the arms, different chests, and different heads
-Joyride and Sureshot share a mold, make it so the legs can be transformed differently for either of them, and different heads.
-Slapdash and Leadfoot

>>5841977
It really feels like outside of the 87 Headmasters, the rest is a little bit of everything, but nothing specific. A shame too, I really would have liked to get the 88 Headmaster Jrs as a Masterforce fan.

>>5841977
hopefully we still will end up getting a lot of the as of yet un anounced/released head/target/etc masters and other randos from later g1

Remember when we'd just get half of the earlier releases repainted at the end of a line just to stretch it out? And people get upset about Combiner wars.

>>5841990
I'm kind-of okay with that, honestly.

Gives people who got into the line late in the game to grab some of the earlier ones, even if they're in different colors.

What are the odds of MP Sunstreaker being announced within the next 1-2 years?

>>5841986
Well, Takara continues to have the Autobot Targetmasters show up as cameos in their Legends comics, the may have a shot of showing up in some form.

Considering the entire Legends line seems to be using characters that went to the Legends Universe to get new bodies, they might show up.

>>5841739
Sentinel actually was blue in the show though.

>>5841758
Reminds me of Tiny Tim-bot from Futurama.

>>5841990
totally unpopular opinion, but I really like having at least one repaint per mold, gives me a chance to check out a mold if I already had a great figure of the first use, or I didn't like the colours of the other use, etc. also why I love that Takara and Hasbro do different stuff all the time, more chances to find that figure that hits me just right

CW was a bit too much for my taste, but I don't want that to ruin repaints/remolds altogether

>>5841832
>hurr durr why is hasbro now appealing to a new and upcoming market rather than trying to sell toys in a slowly declining country

>>5841994
Ultimately, it depends on why we've not got one yet. If it is just because they don't want so many Lambos in the line at once, it'll happen eventually. If Lambo doesn't want to license the custom car SS is based on, or if they have some issue with the transformation ruining the look of the car mode, it might never happen.

I'm going to give you the bullshit statistic of a 70% chance. After Inferno we're slowly easing into the era of MPs that will have less show character redeco potential. There'll be Trailbreaker/Hoist, and that's about it.
Jazz, Mirage, Hound, and Sunstreaker are the big 4 that need an update, and all 4 do have redeco potential, but not ones that where characters in the G1 toon. I suspect that, and rights issues, is why they've been put on the backburner. People already complain about getting Cheetor before Jazz, people would be even madder about Detritus, Stepper, and two new diaclone guys before a new MP Megatron or dinobots.

I miss arbitrary repaints. I feel like I'm the only one who loved Universe. I wish they were easier to find now. I've been looking for Frostbite forever but the only one on eBay has 50 dollars shipping. I thought I found one last year but after weeks of contacting someone back and fourth and waiting he apparently couldn't ship to Canada. What the fuck m8 I just want my ice hyena.

>>5841830
Only Voyagers coming in 2017 are Optimus, Octane, Megatron, Blitzwing, Tidal Wave, Broadside, Leo Prime V (HEAVY RETOOL!!!! into Victory Leo) and Energon Galvatron

Still can't get a straight andewer out of Sixshot redeco. Quickswitch is likely, but fans want Great shot instead. Easier retool as well.

Prime Magnus (blue PMOP) and one other new mold Leader in late 2017. Likely Stat Saber. Four total.

>>5842058
I can see stuff on Hasbrotoyshop right now, and FM is definitely available, but the deluxes and voyagers aren't.

An on the Ginrai thing, I'd post the site, but I don't feel like it right now, so I'll do it tomorrow.

What is Leo Prime V? I have a tiny Leo Prime collection I've been working on and I need to see this. I can't find it on the TF Wiki or anything.

>>5842061
Nah Universe was great, and exactly what I miss. I like how they'd create new characters and decos like Reptillion and Frostbite, instead of just pidgeonholing redecoes because characters might share an alt-mode or something.

>>5842089
He might just be bullshitting, but there's a rumor hinting at it. I can see them doing sort of a Ginrai/Victory Leo mix(since Ginrai was Leo in the anime) and just using the Leo Prime name.

>>5842082
Thanks very much, friend. I appreciate that.

>>5842101
>I can see them doing sort of a Ginrai/Victory Leo mix(since Ginrai was Leo in the anime)

He wasn't though?

I watched the first few episodes of the anime and it's just sort of a lion. He even has a pre cybertron mode.

We have to be getting a Leo Prime out of the Alpha Trion though because it's so obvious. Right?

>>5842102
I wish I could buy it from them, but I also wanted Chromedome, and missed out on getting him there.

I hope the yen doesn't go crazy in the next few months.

>>5842092
Universe was so damn cool. When Universe ended is right around when I sorta stopped buying toys (of course MP's, CW, and TR ramped it back up). I just loved seeing crazy decos of stuff, like that Desert Camo G1 Ruination set? That was pretty dope.

Welp, just ordered hollow-arms pic related from Hasbrotoyshop, because I couldn't wait for December or January to get Ginrai.

I just have to hope they're still taking preorders for Ginrai a week from now when I get my paycheck.

Anyone on who's ordered from HTS before? Will I get a shipping notice, tracking, etc?

>>5842128
you'll get a shipping notice, you should get tracking. The issue is they don't pack things well, at all. They've been known to slap a shipping label on a retail box and send it in the mail.

Overlord is a retool of hardhead combined with a retool of triggerhappy.

Well they are different guys and have pretty different tooling.

>>5842132
>Was it too hard to wait a few days?
In a word, yes.

In more than one word, yes yes yes. At worst, I'll have one that I keep in base mode all the times for Headmasters to hang out in.

>>5842130
I had no problems earlier in the year when I ordered the Onslaught/Sky Lynx set and Wheeljack/Smokescreen. The first set was the normal case box stores get inside another shipping box and the other set had them sharing a box with bubblewrap.
Was more sturdily packed together than recent orders I got from BBTS around that time at least.

Weird, the anime export site mentions that Ginrai has "interchangeable hands".

>>5842161
might be a translation error from posable?

>>5842109
Victory Leo was God Ginrai's new form two/thirds of the way thru Victory.

>That transtector later gained life, and became an actual transformer

Man, Japanese fiction just keeps getting confusing.

>>5841960
its better in person

>>5842209

I just sum it up as "We wanted Optimus but he was dead so we made Optimus and didn't call him Optimus. Also now he's a sentai character".

>>5842209
What's this Transtector thing?

>>5842209
Japanese write something that sounds cool and don't really care how it all fits together in the end.

>>5842209
They really need to stop Roy Thomas-ing everything together, their G1 continuity is becoming a convoluted mess and their fixes/additions are just making it worse. It's ok to say something isn't canon/just stands on it own

>>5842234

That happens with any long running product. Look at the average superhero's continuity, it's a fucking disaster area that makes even JPN G1 look like a masterful execution of writing.

>>5842229
a drone body basically.

The headmasters would use the transsectors to actually get full sized transformer bodies, for ginrai be became an engine block and merged with a regular transformer body.

>>5842209
They can pull a "he time travel from a point in time before the transtector gained life, before his last battle against Overlord" and after the comic event he went back, like Rattrap and Waspinator went back to organic Cybertron on their minicomics.

>>5842229
Masterforce had these metallic bodies that somehow copied vehicles, or took the form of a vehicle nearby. They aren't tranformers, but a human that has special braces can combine with a transtector to become a Transformer.

They're also WAY more powerful than normal transformer, and God Ginrai (human version) may be one of the strongest transformers (if not, the strongest) in their fiction

>>5842246
That wouldn't work here since he's now a Headmaster.

Ongoing Legends fiction: LG-22 Skullcruncher

Jealous that his Axalon Trading Company rivals are collaborating with the Autobot Headmasters, President Megatron organizes his own partnership between Tera-Kura Co. and the Decepticon Headmasters. Using information gathered from the Autobots by Laserbeak's espionage, Tarantulas of Tera-Kura first creates a new transtector and partner drone named Batora for Skullcruncher. When presenting his creations to Skullcruncher, he finds the Decepticon fast asleep, and Weirdwolf explains that his comrade has been narcoleptic ever since being hit by Mindwipe's hypnotic rays. Once he's woken up, Tarantulas sends Skullcruncher out to rampage in streets, hoping to lure out and destroy the Autobots in order to remove his competition on the robotics market.

Though Skullcruncher soon dozes off again, the plan proves successful when Hardhead and Chromedome break off their usual karaoke session to stop him. Weirdwolf then swoops in on Batora, captures Chromedome inside the drone by forcing him to form part of its dinosaur mode, and uses this mode to violently wake Skullcruncher. With Chromedome as their hostage, the Decepticons then prepare to take on Hardhead, only for Hardhead to work with Twincast to sing a lullaby that sends Skullcruncher into a deep slumber. Weirdwolf and Tarantulas make their escape with the sleeping crocodile, leaving Chromedome still stuck in Batora's body as he tries to continue life as normal.

Batora's the dino/bird drone.

>>5841823

Nice to see everything for wave 2 looks so good. Hasbro really wants my wallet. Too bad the reviewer sucks here. Barely goes over any articulation, gets stuff wrong about characters, bitches about every paint job without apparently knowing these are based on the original toy colors, etc.

A bit annoyed to see Astrotrain didn't fix Sentinels super fucking tight neck connector though.

>>5842297
He seems hurried to get the vids up, maybe trying to get the most views before other reviewers get them.

>>5842304

Still, he could've done a little bit better.

Hyped as fuck for wave 2 now at least. Only one I might avoid is Trion since he's so...Weird. But I'll probably get him anyway.

>>5842128
Oh wow. Hollow, AND UNPAINTED inner arms. That's pretty awful. I'm not particularly interested in either version of the toy, but if I absolutely had to, I would have waited, anon.

>>5842327
It's kind of interesting how the Takara separated the arm and trailer parts, with the arm part being red, while the chunk of the trailer is grey.

So heres a question. If Sixshot is going to be a Leader, and all the TR Leaders are supposed to have base modes, is he going to have one too, or is he going to skip that gimmick since it's tough enough getting 2-3 decent modes out of one bot, let alone 6 AND a base?

Also I really wish they'd explain why wave 2 is only Soundwave. Not that I mind, he'll be plentiful this way, but isn't that a bit weird?

>>5841423
I got Sentinal because he was legitimately the only TR Figure Target had.

I wasn't too thrilled with it, but I'm not disappointed.

The headmasters themselves are adorable, and the Dino mode for CrashBash may be my absolute favorite Transformer this year.

>>5842350
He doesn't have a base mode, none of the pictures showed on. You can probably fan mode one if you like.

And now that you mention that, Wave 3 doesn't have 2 leaders either, just Sixshot.

Wonder if I should spring for FortMax. I don't think I've got the room for him though. He certainly won't fit on any shelves I have. Shit.

>>5842383

>>5842383

Really wish they just scaled him to the other combiners. Let him be his own special 6 member incompatiable with the others set, just don't make him nearly 2x the size of the others.

>>5842292
>dat traprazor in a dress in the last panel

>>5842383
Too big to be anything else.

>>5842385
>>5842388
What I see as the issue is IF they made the components deluxes he may still be bigger than the others just because there's 6 of them, or perhaps the same issues of foc bruticus to some extent, hell the fact he wasn't scramble city like the originals may of just given them creative reigns.

Also I coulda sworn during an interview the designers (least takara designers) wanted him to be mp-like thus the scaling?

If the rumors on mp combiners are true we may see them go to his size

>>5842378
>Who else has least one of each kind of titan?

I only have Metroplex and Devy for the modern one then a G1 Fort Max so that's why I'm kinda iffy getting the new one cause of it.

>>5842396

I could totally deal with him being like an inch or two taller than the other combiners. That would've been fine.

No he said he used a few of his ideas that he had for a MP Devastator for the CW one. It's Titans Size because it was the centerpiece of Combiner Wars like Metroplex was for Thrilling 30.
