Why I'm doing a partial repaint of a hasbro skull cruncher as we speak
>>5842808
Does Gator Nucleon's green paint look like a good match for either company's Skullcruncher?
>>5842810
I honestly believe (since I own both versions) it won't match because it uses swirly metallic plastic, and I'm just gonna be lazy with mine, painting the red parts only and not undoing the pins.
Is Hasbro Computron out? Any place to order it?

I think this was some faggot from Allspark who was occasionally answering questions, and not based Sorenson.
>>5842817
Toys R us Australia have it listed and its supposedly in physical shops around Australia.
I have yet to see it though
>>5842829
If I was buying the hasbro versions I would be happy, as wave 2 deluxes are purely headmaster originals and I have no complaints about their forms.
Still on the fence with soundwave (I think the bot mode looks swell but boombox mode hurts) and alpha trion is too obvious repaint potential, I'm tempted by it but may wait for a sale.
Astrotrain is gonna be good for anyone, takara or hasbro

>>5842827
The fact they can manipulate their CNA to change their gender, which really doesn't matter for cybertronians concidering the multitude of ways in which they can procreate, shows that they can become true transgenders and not some botched barbie of a humanoid.
>>5842853

Why is online ordering of children's toys so hard?
>>5842833
are the listings on amazon legit then or are they fake?
>>5842850
Its pretty much only being made because they made a G1 bat transformer. Sadly I doubt any BW toy-only/non-show designs will get updates. Its kind of a bummer to me that a bucnh of late G1 nobodies can get updates but guys like Polar Claw or BW razorclaw will never get another toy
>>5842950
>late G1 nobodies
>characters that were important in a Japanese cartoon series
>Polar Claw or BW razorclaw

You're whining harder than a geewuner.
>>5842936
If it was easy, it wouldn't be so much fun.
>>5842953
The BeeWunners will ruin the franchise.
>>5842829
Maybe a few other people, but I find it way more interesting than Wave 1.
2 Beast formers; one beast mode which hasn't had a new figure since 2000, another that hasn't had one since 2005. Mindwipe also ahs one of the most interesting transformations out of any Beastformer I've ever seen.
Fairly unique helicopter design and futuristic car. Chromedome isn't that exciting I admit, but he's here to round out the Autobot headmasters. Ia voided scourge since I have a perfectly fine Generations one already, so Highbrow will be new.
Alpha Trion is a bit off but I love the idea and design. I was a kid in the 3H Botcon era and I really wanted that alpha Trion snarl repaint, so this is satisfying.
Soundwave is less impressive now after the MP, but he's the much needed G1 style Soundwave people have been waiting 10 years for in Classics. he also rounds out the Leader scale 84 Decepticons along with his cassettes, which is cool, even if I won't get them myself.
>>5842953
I'm not really whining, just musing that its a shame that I'll probably never get to experience the same nostalgic joy people got from Titans return or combiner wars. I'm grateful for stuff like BW MP, but BW was primarily about the toys for me.
also just about ever BW mold(if not character) got repurposed between BW II and BW Neo in Japan, so there's precedence to the designs being used in fiction, too, at at least.
>>5842774
>>5842776
Hey, Drinkmachine-chan and his moldmates are solid contributers to society.
>>5843001
Yeah, contributors to my wallet
Cuckrod finally gets some
Tell me /tfg/, what upcoming figure are you most eager to get?
>>5842754
Eh, funny. I'm Mexican and I order him yesterday for 30 (local price).
>>5842853
its only the sdcc which is sad
>>5843030
You mean Large Rod. Too bad his mold wasn't originally for him, otherwise he'd be perfect.
>>5843036
trypticon because i'm only buying titans from now on
>>5843036
MP Cheetor by far.
>>5843030
>>5843036
All of wave 2 pretty much.
Does anyone else hate the leader size class as much as I do? Anything from legends/scout to voyager is perfect and scales well with combiners and titans while leaders throw everything out of wack. Recently it seems there isn't even any rhyme or reason with their choices either, with leader seekers and tape decks
>>5843065
Blaster is a Leader class because his toy was originally around that size. Nothing more.
Leader Seekers probably happened because of Leader Megs.
>>5843072
Voyager would still better.
>>5843072
>Leader Megs
He probably was designed as a temporal stand in for MP, as Super Ginrai seems to.
>>5843072
Leader seekers are retools of Jetfire who was show accurate for size
We have all the 84 Decepticons outside of the cassettes as Leaders now. Personally, I love it, I like the Decepticons having strength in size, while the Autobots have it in numbers.
>>5843065
I only have Legends-Voyager/Ultra in my collection due to space, rather than scale.
>>5843094
I agree with the idea of Decepticons being larger than Autobot. But I think that leader class scale is way too big for the Seekers and Soundwave. They should be Voyager class at best with 84/85 Autobot Cars outside of heavy hitters like Prime or Ironhide being deluxes or legends.
>>5843094
Yeah, I could totally see that logic behind that but my personal autism just won't allow it. Will still probably get leader Soundwave and his minions because I do like the mold and the compatibility with the spy tablets. Way better than the FoC disks they had imo.
>>5843107
Ideally Leaders would be reserved for leaders and large characters like Jetfire, while Voyagers would be for bulky characters like Ironhide, Deluxes for the diaclone Autobot cars and Legends for the minibots
>>5843082
He does make a good standin. He looks great.
>>5843065
Leader PM OP is technically in scale since his alt mode it's supposed to be some fuckhuge megatruck: the molded details are all small stairs and doors
>>5843107
Maybe Soundwave, but Seekers should definitely be huge. There's only really three of then versus a whole fleet of Autobot cars, its only fair.
>>5842963
>Soundwave is less impressive now after the MP, but he's the much needed G1 style Soundwave
It's not so much that he's competing with the MP as it is how genuinely ugly the toy is. His head looks awful and the body is way too chunky even for Soundwave; reusing the Blaster mold saves money but jesus...
>>5843111
>Way better than the FoC disks they had imo.
True, but to be fair, the cassettebots (humanoid) are the only improvement over their FoC counterparts, I'm getting those 4 and skipping the rest including the leaders to keep the FoC teams, with Hardhead, Chromedome and other cybertronian altmodes the FoC audiovans don't look too weird sharing the same shelf.
>>5843065
>tfw I just collect what looks good and disregard scale.
Hey man, the leader class seekers look good.
>>5843171
Buy what you like master race, feels good man.
>>5843171
Does Leader Starscream look better in person than in photos? Skywarp and Thundercracker look great, but I the white used on Starscream really throws me off from getting it.
>>5843171
Well, to each his own.
>>5843187
>Hollow thighs
>Hollow arms
>Hollow wings
>>5843194
It's not that bad imo, but the increased amount of hollowness we're getting now is very worrying.
>>5842956
this but GeeWunners
>>5843187
He isn't white at all. He is cast in grey
>>5843187
I say it's about the same as the photos. The white isn't a bright white but rather it's more of a gray with little shine to it unlike Thundercrackers paint which looks fantastic.
>>5843201
It's funny because TR has less hollow. Guess they made fat bank off CW to allow them a better budget for Headmaster-a-thon?
>>5843187
He's fine. He's better than the Classic Seeker mold and the shitty MP so they're my defacto Seekers.
>>5843201
That's just one of the gimmick toys. Don't expect the same as a normal transformer.
>>5843201
What the hell is that?
You're playing with the shell of what a toy would be at that point.
Is there any place I can find the combiner wars figures in waves? I need the bruticus limbs, already have onslaught
>>5843187
nah senpai get the jetfire version
>>5843216
Ive seen McDonalds toys with more plastic than that.
>>5843230
Try Amazon, eBay, BBTS, Chosen Prime, TF Source...
>>5842754
I just got TR Blaster and this isn't closing completely.....there's a bit of a gap....should I be worried or am I just paranoid?
How does FoC Soundwave look with say, CW or even TR figs?
>>5843235
Considering McDs toys are considerably smaller then no. You haven't.
>>5843246
Tf source was the site I was looking for, thanks famalam
I just got a Rewind and I'm really worried about the arms. The way they you need to transform them will eventually break them, but I'm not sure how to fix it either.
>>5843256
I just checked my Blaster, mine closes fully, no tiny gap like yours. I don't know if you should worry, just telling you so you can compare.
>>5843294
Hmm...should I get a rubber band to tighten it up?
>>5843265
A bit smaller than Galvatron, he looks fine, same proportions, big torsos, chunky arms and shins, small head.
Is Sentinel worth getting? He looks nice, but 2orange.
>>5843036
Pic related.
>>5843314
No. Wait for the Astrotrain repaint. You'll be glad you did.
>>5843314
He's nice but if you don't like the color you might as well just wait for Astrotrain.
>>5843314
I bought him yesterday as a pure impulse buy as he was the only TR guy on the shelves in my podunk little shithole out in nowhere.
I like him, but he's probably an acquired taste due to the colors.
>>5843318
>>5843316
>>5843317
so the mold/design is decent then?
good to know.
>>5843256
Any ideas to tighten up this TR figure.
>>5843319
Yeah, the mold itself is good at least on mine. Everything feels solid, no floppyness. One issue though, and judging by a Astrotrain review I saw, it's unfixed in the Astro version: The HM connector is SUPER TIGHT. Like, "Gonna fucking break this guy" tight.
Just put the HM's head in backwards and it should be fine.
I just stopped by 3 toysrus in GTA
why are there so many Sentinel Primes?
I only managed to get 1 terribull, 1 crashbash, and 1 battered galvatron in Eglinton branch.
has anyone managed to get deluxe figures in toysrus recently?
>>5843318
The ONLY thing I like about him is the photo comics you've done. I'd only get him if I were going to join in the fun.
But I'm too much the poorfag to buy it just for that.
>>5843319
Also I really like how the mold can accommodate the raised guns over Sentienl's back. They can't fold down over his shoulders, but it still is nice they can fit there behind his back like that.
>>5843324
>why are there so many Sentinel Primes?
He's a "Literally WHO?" and bright fucking orange. People only buy who they know, and Sentinel's a no-show in 99% of TF fiction, and in the most popular TF fiction currently, the IDW comics, he died early on and is now raised from the dead because REASONS.
>>5843331
so does that mean I missed out on the first wave?
deluxe figures are already sold out?
>>5843326
Thanks. I know my pics are kind of shitty, but I try to make people laugh or at facepalm.
>>5843334
I doubt it. Everything is taking it's sweet time to trickle out. All I have near me are the voyagers.
>>5843323
Yeah, I found myself surprisingly fond of the toy, but I really wish there was more contrast between the red and orange, and more gunmetal accents than just the guns.
I kept my receipt in case we see a Takara version that fixes the color scheme some.
>>5843334
In your area? Maybe. In my area the only thing I've seen was the sole Sentinel amid a flood of Swindle's and Vortex's. You can find the TR stuff online easily enough though, I think BBTS has everything in stock, and if they do, so do the other online specialty stores probably.
>>5843331
>People only buy who they know
Who exactly knows Skullcruncher or Hardhead or Scourge? Do you really think such a big percentage of the Transformer-buying market is that deep into the fiction?
>>5843331
>he died early on and is now raised from the dead because REASONS.
My guess is that it has to do with Vector Sigma.
Cyclonus was also technically brought back from the dead.
>>5843342
The ones buying the Generations line? Yes, totally. I think we're in a "The parents grew up with G1 so they showed their kids G1 so the kids know who these guys are and buy them toys like the toys they had because nostalgia" sort of situation here.
And you've got those best-selling IDW comics backing the whole thing now too for relevant, current day interpretations of G1 stuff.
>>5843344
Cyclonus has been a regular in MTMTE since 2012.
>>5843351
Sentinel woke up a little late?
>>5843348
>best-selling IDW comics
>>5843368
WHAT IS THIS?
>>5843375
A Crossed comic, the image is edited.
>>5843368
They sell very well, enough to frequently hit the top 10 selling comics. Face it, it's popular.
>>5843386
Guess there's no accounting for taste anymore.
I hate that tape thing Blaster comes with...well hate storing it in his chest, I think that's why the chest on mine got loose.
>>5842943
bump
>>5843036
I'm gonna be honest, i'm looking forward to the voyager OP and Megs. I don't know what it is but I like the look of them, Megatron less so. I like both wave 2 voyagers and Mindwipe too.
>>5843409
Trukk not playn
>>5843342
I've had the same reservations. They put certain characters in the line because they are supposedly more recognizable, but we're really talking about the difference between C list, and D list characters.
Do kids really know Astrotrain well enough over Snapdragon to justify the latter not being made when the line gimmick is the perfect situation for him to get a toy?
And then there are things like Getaway and Triggerhappy coming that are just as obscure.
>>5843414
Astrotrain appeared in more than just The Rebirth.
>in b4 muh headmasters
murrikids wouldn't have seen it.
>>5843414
Getaway is featured in the comics. I'm guessing the line choices are partially influenced by them at times.
>>5843418
I really wanted a Getaway, but I'm annoyed they couldn't even use a mold that gave him his iconic shoulders. I could live with the chest altered, but the different shoulders just feel wrong.
>>5843417
Even with netflix and the Hub(lol no one got that channel) rerunning G1 astrotrain hasn't been in a new cartoon in years.
Its a shame Hasbro abandoned G1 Continuity in animation; I was born after G1 but Beast wars taught me about G1. why not just do a G1 reboot instead of having two lines going a the same time?
>>5843409
Man, the truck mode cab is ugly as a sin. I guess it looks even worse to me right now because I've been taking pictures of this sexy mofo today.
>>5843430
>astrotrain hasn't been in a new cartoon in years.
but that's not the point. he's a known character from G1, who even appeared in the movie.
>>5843430
Astrotrain has been shown up in the comics for years, and ex-RID had him as one of the antagonists. It's not much, but it's something.
>>5843423
Given how nuts Takara has been lately, I would not be shocked to see remolding on their Lightfoot
>>5843445
They might just ignore that release completely, Takara's pretty picky when it comes to repaints.
>>5843036
>Finally getting kickback
>>5843409

>>5843438
And who, again, if anyone is noticing a theme here-Is featured in the comics.
>>5843445
Maybe, he was kinda main character in Masterforce, at least enough to be in the intro. Hopefully they retool Astrotrain shuttle altmode too, the cockpit need some work.
>>5843452
Between G2 Laser, RID Scourge, Action Master, and Star Convoy, that mold has potential.
>>5843434
Seriously, how can a 21 years old mold look so good?
>>5843469
Cause it's the best mold ever. Especially Black Convoy.
>>5843469
>is main character in accompanying show
>doesn't get released in New Zealand
We didn't get Rail Racer either. Pissed me off.
>>5843368

Doesn't sound like a cuck to me.

The Last couple of years was just really weak
It was a repaint 4 times over with a 2 reprints one with some retooling with 1 mold not recycled until now

>>5843528
C'mon Yim-Jim, I was just playing around is all! I'm not a retort! I got an over 25 IQ!
>>5843318
Same as you senpai
They don't make many orange transformers and he is very well sculpted
>>5843541
Shame all his detail is lost in an almost neon glow.
>>5843324
I'm seeing more Blurrs and Galvatrons here in north WV
I found Sentinel once and it's the one I bought
Scourge is the seller here found him once and that was get. I guess there are some army builders up here
>>5843543

In person he's great
He just takes a really bad photo

>>5843549
Yeah, my lighting is pure shit and more often than not the flash destroys everything. Sometimes I get a decent photo, but with Captain Orange it's really hard. He doesn't photograph well, and then you throw my terrible photos atop it...
>>5843036
Weirdwolf, Hot Rod, and Doublecross.
>>5843036
It's hard to pick just one. But I'd pick Delta Magnus as he's coming out soon and I've not had a new MP mold in a while. Looking forward to putting my MP Diaclone cars on him in alt mode.
TR Blaster is great but his helmet doesn't go down enough, his eyes are below where the visor of the helmet is.....though it gives a Robocop vibe which is cool.
>>5843592
>helmet doesn't go down enough
Seems to be the same with Soundave.
A most likely crappy pic of my collection .
>>5843549
Ehhhh... This is coming from someone who likes him, but he still more or less looks like an orange blob from across the room. The box art, and the toy render on the back of the box have a much more noticeable difference between the red and orange. It's lightened, and less saturated, so the red actually stands out.
The toy is straight-up road cone orange.
>>5843617
Pics are always nice Anon, and thats a good start for a collection. Thats basically where I started.
>>5843617
How did you get Bludgeon he's not a more recent figure.
>>5843708
I had a lot of movie toys from when I was younger and as far as I know there aren't much other Bludgeon figs and I thought he fit in okay. I like Bludgeon, he's cool. I need to replace his sword though, it's warped and fits really tightly in his hands.
>>5843708
If only there was a site that you could buy and sell older things.
'Nother character reveal for Last Knight.
It's just Crosshairs. Looking like Crosshairs.
Hopefully he gets a better toy for this movie line. He's got a generally cool looking design.
http://blacklai1979.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/review-2016-titans-return-sdcc.html
Anyone here interested in all SDCC fort max and retail fort max comparisons?
Its more than just the chest tummy and shin cannons, some original stickers as well
>>5843719
>Bludgeon
>from when I was younger
>Released in 2010
>from when I was younger
>>5843745
Crosshairs really makes me wish Human Alliance still existed. I feel like that's the only scale where you could really pull off his trench coat while still being articulated and not made of rubber.
>>5843747
Technically, he isn't wrong.
>>5843747
Not him but anon, that's 6 years ago.
That's more than enough room to transition from kid to adult depending on what age he is
>>5843745
Is he supposed to have five-o'clock shadow?
>>5843762
I'm more worried about his chin looking like a scrotum.
Anyone who's gotten Fortmax mind telling me how they feel about it? I'd be great if they could also compare it to Metroplex.
>>5843749
The mold only needs a longer neck, less pins on the back kibble, and different cuts on the arms' kibble and coat.
AOE Crosshairs looks fine in wotafa's video of the mod.
>>5843794
I have the sdcc version and briefly owned the retail, pic related.
Its a metroplex retool, he transforms less overall (mostly lying down and splaying his legs) but his ship mode is g1 accurate, the city mode requires fan modes or else he'll fail your expectations.
Anything more specific, I just wanted the future scorponok to have a sparing partner
>>5843806
Is he better at posing than Metro? Metroplex can barely support his weight, and you can barely pose him buckling under his own weight and weak ratchets.
>>5843813
People have been saying fort max is tighter than metroplex all around.
But in my experience, take pic related, as childish as it is, tried to make fort max copy it, dunno if its dreaded sdcc qc issues but he just can't hold that pose, least not exactly
So what are the chances on pic related? Will we actually get the ONE non-G1 headmaster homage there is or will Warden's autism prevail?
>>5843813
>>5843830
Just for you I taken a fresh pic, seems the ratchets have a bit of give to them, really difficult to maintain this, thus why his right leg (or left in the pic) is shifted over to one side.
My metroplex didn't have that
>>5843838
I'm really on the fence on him. I guess I'll get him if I find him at 100, since the clear plastic that forms the tower worries me, and the lack of a sword or gun in the standard release means that I'll have to pay even more to get those.
>>5843832
The only good thing about Armada in one picture.
>>5843832
What do you think? Warden canned the Demolishor Onslaught redeco after all.
>>5843798
>mod
I'll have to check this out.
Smug as fuck
>>5843832
Slim to none. Think about how every titan master has to be able to interact with every cockpit, and fit on every body. How is a regular titan master going to sit on a motorcycle, how is this head going to fit in a regular cockpit or on a regular body?
>>5843832
For what it's worth, my group of friends talked to Warden at Botcon about how nice Sideways could be in the Titans Return line, so he's at least aware of him.
>>5843875
The weapon can be a saddlebag or a small sidecar.
>>5843745
>>5843749
I would buy a human alliance of that guy in a heartbeat.
But serously though, what are the chances of a rereleaseVSnew mold for his deluxe? I skipped out last time.
>>5843873
Peter Griffin chin isn't really noticeable when in motion.
>>5843832
The show may have been mediocre and the toys shit but damn if the actual designs weren't great. MP's when? Didn't Armada Prime come in second in that poll that got Star Saber made?
>>5843891
Holy shit
>dat cgi
>>5843903
It was in motion, so the background is a bit blurry as a cap.
Also noting, the CG itself was lazier than the last three, as evident from the lack of transformation sequences but made up for more dialogue between the autobots.
Tried the Japanese Beast Wars Fighting game. A lot of II stuff, but makes sense their domestic product would be majority. Space slut is surprisingly fun to play with easymode multihit specials and amazing mobility. If this was a real game, would probably be my main.
>>5843911
I remember playing it more than a decade ago, it was pretty entertaining and I loved BW Megatron super attack in robot mode. I think I'm going to download it again.
>>5843832
>We have plans for a Sideways, alright. We planned it to be released over my cold, dead body.
>John "If It's Not G1 Forget About It Being Done" Warden

It might depend on if TF5 has some sort of "gimmick" like Mech Alive, Mechtech, etc, and thus it would make them want to make a new one.
I think it would be pretty likely to get a new one, although, I guess he is the most able to re-use his old toy, so who knows. We've almost always gotten the whole Autobot cast, so I think it's fairly likely it will happen.
>>5843907
It just doesn't look like they meshed it as well with the live shots.
Hell, Shin Godzilla had a fraction of that budget, was made in Japan, and had better CGI than TF4
>>5843832
All they gotta do is make him a double headmaster of a sort like fortmax.
Titan Master becomes the head of the motorcyclist which in turn can transform into Sideways's head.
The motorcyclist should be legends class sized robot, not voyager class like Cerebros.
>>5843919
That is just asking for a sniper to splatter his brains over the walls.
>>5843901
That will always be my favorite Seeker design. I was very disappointed that the generations armada scream didn't have an actual wing sword. That was my favorite part.
>>5843924
Seriously, though, it's more important for the people on the project to like what they are working on than the budget. To give an example, check the budget of any Kyoani anime and compare it to other anime with a similar budget and look at the difference in the animation quality.
I doubt anyone working on AOE cared all that much about bayformers compared to Godzilla, which is a cultural icon on Japan.
>>5843924
It was no secret that Michael phoned it in so he can do his Benghazi film funded and worry-free, and it's evident that Hasbro's doing more effort with the fifth than the fourth, which production for a year was kept quiet while TLK already has a poster, a couple of social media sites and 10minute videos of Michael Bay himself promoting the film while he's filming the scenes.
>>5843936
Also has bad editing, like in one scene Crosshairs and the gang was watching Lockdown's ship take off and he was saying something but no dialogue spewed out.
>>5843036
Soundwave and his tablet buddies, because I've missed out on literally every other version of him that has been released since original G1.
And Kickback because I have the other two Legends insecticons.
And I gotta admit, Bat Primal is looking pretty tempting now too.
>>5843232
Jetfire version is pretty boss. Comes with alternate face plate. Just now Gerwalk mode.
>>5844008
Didn't even get the movie, animated, or prime versions that shelfwarmed like crazy?
>>5843036
Trypticon, he can't come soon enough.
>>5844020
wasn't a fan of the movies, wasn't a fan of the animated figures, and I took a break from collecting figures around the time Prime came out.
>>5843568
If only Hasbro had used this mold to make Chromerdome instead
>>5844040
So you didn't miss out. You chose to not buy them. That's not missing out.
>>5843806
Why does he have the chevrolet's logo on his forehead?
Did Cerebros always had those?
>>5843036
This kitten.
>>5843875
>TR Wave 3 looks to be the best wave yet
>Then I notice Getaway is part of the deluxe wave
Fuck everything. They just had to make him a repaint.
>>5844045
I cant help but agree. I really feel that the Chromedome and Hot Rod bodies are rather similar and could have easily been remolds of each other, freeing up another all-new mold for someone else.
>>5843901
I really wish for a legends sized Sparkplug.
And the generation's Armada is pretty fucking sleek. Quite gimmick lacking, but still pretty fucking cool. So bad i'm so fucking poor.
>>5844103
But Wave 2 is easily the best yet. All actual headmasters for the Deluxes, Astrotrain, Soundwave.
>>5844123
wat
Why are all the Autobot headmasters other than Hardhead nerds?
>>5844137
Depends on the version. The Headmasters Chromedome was a bit of a hothead eager warrior type, for example.
>>5844136
i'm kind of high right now. But i want a remake of this guy in legends size.
>>5844137
Because they've all got good heads on their shoulders.
>>5843878
I don't think lack of awareness is a problem at Hasbro. Your problem is Warden doesn't want to touch anything that occurred after G1/G2. And Sideways isn't going to be like Minerva or Nautica where you can use a pre-existing mold (like say HM Arcee or Brainstorm), it requires an entirely new mold.
>>5844158
>>5844125
It's good, but not perfect.
Wave 2 has the deluxes, Astrotrain, and Soundwave (I'll be honest and admit I'm not to keen on him, but I'll get Blaster if he goes for cheap later)
While 3 has Gnaw, a new Bumblebee, the long awaited Kickback, a monster bot, a new deluxe Hot Rod to finally replace the flawed classics mold, Triggerhappy of all cons, another Laser Rod Prime, I good looking triple changer Megatron, and Sixshot.
They're close, but wave 3 comes out on top.
>>5844154
That is just a Sunstreaker with Bumblebee head
>>5844137
>Why are all the Autobot headmasters other than Hardhead nerds?
That one always bothered me too. Until MTMTE/Hasbro came up with an adequate solution.
>>5844170
That one is the dangerous inventor nerd, one is the depressed mindrape nerd, and the other one is the pompous asshole nerd?
>>5844168
Yeah I know, but it'd still make greatly for a legends mold.
>>5844137
Same reason all but one of the Decepticon ones are hot heads
it's being punny.
>>5844167
Wave 2 has Chromedome, Weirdwolf, Mindwipe and Highbrow and finishes out the original 7 HMs as well as Astrotrain.
>Triggerhappy of all cons
Who is another Blurr/Brainstorm remold.
Plus Prime/Octane's Jet mode looks pretty bad.
>>5844178
female engineer nerd to replace hardhead.
>>5844170
>Until MTMTE/Hasbro came up with an adequate solution.
Chromedome was the best one, now he's another kind of Headmaster: a master at sucking head.
>>5844187
>Who is another Blurr/Brainstorm remold
You can barely tell, so they did something right.

Woul you say that Weirdwolf's name is... the first episode of Serial Experiments Lain?

Oddly enough, his new name kind of works.

>>5844187
>>5844204
>Who is another Blurr/Brainstorm remold
Wow... I had no idea. Suddenly I'm not so worried about not being able to find a Brainstorm.
How exactly are they doing the cockpit/shield thing on this mold? Whereas Blurr/Brainstorm have big-ass shields for the front of their vehicles, this one seems like it would be tiny if it exists as a separate piece at all.
>>5844267
>Suddenly I'm not so worried about not being able to find a Brainstorm.
Are you out of the united states? Because he'll be really easy to find once Walgreens starts pumping him out.
>>5844267
The gun hands on this guy are gonna be sick.
>>5843832
>the ONE non-G1 headmaster homage
Energon Omega Supreme was also a headmaster.
>>5844290
I'm honestly surprised they haven't used the same thigh molds before more often. Re-using non-important or character defining parts would seem like a no brainer for the penny pinchers.
So I just checked that review of Soundwave, and his TM most definitely does not have the Deception symbol painted. His entire torso is solid blue, in fact.
Hasbrooooooooo
>>5844307
Can you even get the symbol that small?
>>5842827
God this has the Allspark written all over it. Who was the author? Ms. Virion?
>>5843065
Dial the autism back a bit anon. PMOP has always been huge, the Seekers are taking a cue from Movie Starscream in that a jet should be a fuckload larger than a car. Meanwhile the tape decks transform into either nifty bases (which makes logical sense for their play patterns and I'm stunned it was never done before) or "mass shift" into role playing toys. They're perfect.

So anyone else seeing people trying to sell their Hasbro Computron sans Scrounge?
The TF trading group on facebook that I'm a member of, has had several people trying to sell their CW Computrons, all sans Scrounge of course.
Is it going to be a situation where Scrounge is going to be flat out impossible to find at non-rape prices by himself? While the CW Computron is going to be sold dirt cheap sans Scrounge by people who bought him solely for the legends sidekick and want to flip him to get cash for the Takara version?
>>5844370
yup, welcome to the world of transformer collecting.
>>5843891
>One of the few movie designs to have a good headsculpt
>Body looks like an undefined mess of trash
>Toy didn't get the face right
So close yet so far.
>>5844370
How much are they selling them for?
>>5844370
What a waste of time and money. Especially since that Computron set is probably going to end up $80 or less in a month like the G2 sets.
>>5844370
If the G2 and Victorion sets are of any indication, the Computron set will be dirt cheap as a whole at some point.
That being said, Cosmos isn't THAT hard to find. I don't understand people.
>>5844288
And his old toy is much better than the Sentinel mold.
>>5844370
>tfw Takara release a Scrounge for their Legends line
>>5844422
As unlikely as this is I fucking hope to god this happens
Does this work, /toy/?
>>5844492
That's not bad at all. Got any kind of alt mode for it?
>>5844374
There's no winning with you guys. His design along with Optimus for AoE is the cleanest by far.
The more accurate criticism of his design is "They don't look like they convert into vehicles".
>>5844500
You know most TF designs never looked like they could convert into vehicles aside from the chests made of the front of the thing they turn into.
>>5844494
Artillery platform for targetmasters? This is really as good as I can get him into anything passable.
>>5844501
if by Bayformers, earliest that seemed too clunky for its own good would be Ironhide, while the most normal looking adaptation's for Jazz.
At least the vehicle kibble made them possible to do transformation magic. They couldn't even do Bumblebee's 2014 camaro onscreen transformation over how less there is of the vehicle on his robot mode.
>>5844494
Yeah, it's not really an alt mode but I mainly just want to display him next to Scamper and a Legends Megatron (in alt mode) that I use as Slammer.
>>5844492
I really didn't do much but sheered off the wheels, took the paint off the legs and made a face plate. Super easy project tbqh.
>>5843949
Never.
>>5844316
I think it was Summer/Verity/Whatever-He's-Calling-Himself.
I'm kind of tempted to get Fruticus over the Takara's one (I don't mind blast-off not being a shuttle)
Does anyone knows if it suffer from QC issues?
>>5844562
The joints that lock Onslaught's knees are flipped. Meaning that he basically can't lock his knees
>>5844565
Can you disassemble and fix it?
>>5844567
Not without having to knock out some pins.
>>5844565
What a bummer
Guess I'll have to hopefully wait for a future release as Baldigus/Ruination or Battle Gaia
>>5844567
Yes, and it is recommended you do so.
Pic related, you can see a small bright dot on each leg that's been made from trying to force the knees to lock.
>>5844588

It's a comparison, between DOTM and TLK's public marketing, AoE never had any up until superbowl, whereas all three had their trailers during November or Christmas.
And of course Michael syaing that it's "gonna be my last time directing a movie for the series", and then looking at the ratings for TF3->Bay Project ->TF4 ->Bay Project, he really was more excited and more serious to do his things than what Hasbro and Paramount had him doing.

>>5844667
Fuck, now I kinda want a Blaster of some description. I'm torn between the FoC Voyager (pros: actual vehicle mode, chest minion gimmick, cons: chest minions fucking suck unless you buy those Shapeways model kits, made of FoC-era plastic) and Unique Toys Soundmixer (pros: solid as fuck, turns into a boombox, cons: no minions, no proper vehicle mode, wtf is with those bits of "armour"). I'm not hugely bothered about him having an actual chest minion gimmick (I headcanon that Soundwave and Blaster can summon their minions from a pocket dimension via mini-spacebridge, thus eliminating the need for them to physically fit the cassettes inside them) and I'm not a massive GEEWUNer (My Soundwave is the Prime figure) so I'm mainly concerned with which is the better toy. TR Blaster is just too big for my liking, which is a shame because he looks cool as fuck otherwise.
Ok boys, girls and arcee's, question time.
Pic related is $150aud, ebay is doing a 10% off and seller is doing free shipping, I already have the UW set with hasbro powerglide.
I feel I need more g2 in my life and I have g2 bruticus coming in (considering selling the original CW set), tell me, should I?
I'm aware of the QC of silverbolt's arms, unless another good purchase that is over $75aud is worth tracking down (wanted a generations jetfire really but I still feel sore from missing out brand new ones for $10 and $60 from china doesn't feel worth it)
Otherwise suggest something else that may be good
>>5844707
>g2
lol
>>5844711
Care to elaborate on the humor of garish neon colored 90's colors other than what is stated, I'm curious.
I mean I can understand laughing at g2 menasor but g2 in general, unless you seen the commercials which got me tempted to buy that abomination
>>5844702
Too bad there's only 1 autobot mold for the RID bakugan minicons. I guess you can use actual bakugan, they are just slightly smaller than the minicons.

>>5844702
>summon their minions from a pocket dimension
Go for FoC Blaster and get the TR minions, that would work with your headcanon, plus hes solid, his plastic has better quality than the used in the deluxes, he feels like Gen Brainstorm.
>>5844773
That's a good idea, I'll probably do that.
>>5844773
I think the best thing about FOC Blaster is that there's a smaller-sized Soundwave with the same altmode.
>>5844778
The deluxe is a bit too small, but he can work for some, I sold mine after I got the voyager.
Me again.
How much is the recommended price for this?
Is there anywhere other than mandarake/ebay/aliexpress to look that ships internationally that won't break the bank?

Anyone miss the takara legends skullcruncher or galvatron?
Still up on hlj, they had hardhead but he was on low stock and burnt out in 2 days
>>5844822
Man, it seems hard to get Takara shit unless you preorder.
I suppose that's common for most of /toy/ tho desu
>>5844830
Depends on the product and what they've done.
I expected hardhead to sellout sooner than what he did, though am slightly surprised skullcruncher who's better articulated to hold (but could just be japanese autism about MUH HEROES).
I suspect fort max will end up either like devastator (not moving due to lack of sword) or he'll be gone like the dodo.
Galvatron is an obvious result, local retail sells him quick because western fans can forgive the head gimmick, japanese autism cannot and so can't many of us, I mean shit I painted mine's face
>tfw by the time titan class scorponok is announced they'll be doing pretenders
>regardless of result there is a high probability he won't be a head/titan master because the gimmick line has changed
We wanted trypticon so badly but have we realized what might happen?
I swear if they are doing something retarded with him make his head a pretended shell, I can't see anything other than that as a shitty alternative
>>5844843
Why do people think they're gonna do pretenders next?
>>5844843
I don't think Trypticon will be a headmaster.
>>5844843
Wasn't Black Scorponok's rival having a pretender shell?
>>5844846
What other past gimmick would they bring back, keys?
>>5844847
It seems like he isn't, but he has titan master foot pegs.
You know, one thing I hope they keep within the future lines, are the heads and pegs on larger transformers, that'd be interesting
>>5844850
This is true, Grand Maximus or something, if hasbro wanted to be even cheaper they could "retool" fort max as he is with just a new head that's nothing but a shell with a mini cerebros that just folds neatly inside.
>>5844850
Grand maximus?
>>5844852
>>5844846
Are the current pretender shells on the shelf doing good?
>>5844852
Motors.
>>5844843
Better be prepared for disappointment. If they could barely deliver on FM, despite reusing a ton of stuff from Metroplex, I don't expect Scorponok meeting anyone's expectations.
>>5844858
that's not a pretender, that's literal shit.
>>5844859
Motors eh?
But...how much would they have to sacrifice?
And no we can't have sparkers, that's a fire hazard
>>5844860
Depends on how much of a retool of fort max he is, granted just changing the the exterior would be enough to enact scorpion mode and city mode (infact fort max doing the on the box city mode would work for scorponok), if its a new mold we can have higher hopes.
If he ends up being a retool of trypticon we're utterly fucked and if they pull an asspull and give us omega supreme first they could either forget about him or really go to town
>>5843409
I think it's because Optimus looks like he was from an old line. Like the proportions and shaping of G2 and the goofyness and gimmick of Action Masters.
>>5844867
>If he ends up being a retool of trypticon we're utterly fucked
There's no way they make him out of Trypticon. But yeah, we're screwed if Fortress Maximus is any indication:
-Say goodbye to his man servant, the shield, the gun, and the leg cannons
-New arms, but the claws are tiny, and reuses FM's cannons on the shoulders
-New chest that doesn't do anything
-Slight retool of FM's legs, and the cannons are omitted
>>5844867
>that's literal shit.
Sorry a toy meant for toddlers is not up to your standards?
>>5844867
>that's not a pretender
It is. If you want a modern Pretender those shampoo bottles with a door will be it. Hasbro's just testing it out on the toddler line.
I just had an idea for the next gimmick line.
We saw that jet and tank "touch" in that teaser, its either duocons BUT with the ability to mix and match with ANY 2 transformers with the ability to transform into 2 articulated mini transformers (like combiners or those energon toys).
Thoughts?
>>5844858
I imagine actual modern pretenders could be great.
>>5844876
He had a pretender shell as well.
Headmaster AND pretender
>>5844877
Sorry I grew up with a silver spo-I mean g1 optimus prime as a toddler, my nostalgia and my batshit mother may of tainted my standards as a kid, which still carries on.
I was that kid with the cool shit but was never actually cool
>>5844773
I'm somewhat tempted myself to just get the legends tapes, but I feel they need to be able to interact with the player bot somehow, I wonder what the chances would be of them releasing voyager blasters and soundwaves in the future? they could release the tape bots like they did the foc ones in two packs, only this time, have them not actually be springloaded pieces of shit.
