I'd say fairly low, but who knows. We've basically never had the combining cassettes referenced ever again since their G1 toys, other than the rare IDW cameo (where they may not even be combining and might just be one dude).
>>
>>5875770
I think the problem is that no Soundwave/Blaster toy has really been relevant long enough for them to make anything but the A-list cassettes (and their redecos). This time, however, all the cassettes are getting "real" alt modes on top of it, so even if there's no SW/Blaster on the shelf, I think they could justify putting it out. Not to mention, the new team is pretty committed to completing sets when they can. We are getting Kickback now after all this time, so who knows?

I bought the Hong Kong sword on ebay. This thing is glorious, transparent, no stickers, a joy to look at, and livens Max up so much. The only criticism I have to make is that the handles for the second and third pieces of the sword have a prong sticking up at their end, meaning they can only be given to figures with open hands.

Because all the other plastic colors are just as dull and it would only serve to show how badly the rest is in comparison.

To be quite and perfectly honest I'd really like a non-transforming MP Megatron that just came with a couple gun accessories as his transformation.

Like his transformation would just be
>put megatron in a drawer
>take out a gun and put it in starscream's hand or whatever

There's never going to be a Megatron that doesn't even have a fucked up gun form or a fucked up robot form, might as well not even try.
>>
>>5875837
a gentle reminder of the difference is the cost.
Takara TFs are a lot more expensive for a reason. It's a more devoted market out there.
Another issue could be it's a design choice. Americans tend to like their whites warm.
>>
>>5875837
I can only imagine it's a cost thing. Bolder colors require more pigment or something like that.

There are some cases where I'm sure the difference is preference, but some cases seem like they clearly would have bolder or more saturated colors if it was no matter of cost.
>>
>>5875861
it's more likely that bolder colors require a different plastic altogether, as plastics all have different levels of dye absorption.
Some plastics get ruled out because they can't be painted with normal methods, and hasbro can't make a mold with a dozen different colored plastics.
>>
>>5875859

Despotron and Mighttron are the best masterpiece megatrons we're gonna get for a very long while.
>>
>>5875758
If Takara were to make a 2.0 Megatron, it will still be a politically incorrect gun.

We still have the Megatron Tank as a leader size.

They don't though. Takara UM and Computron flat out cost me less than buying the Hasbro counterparts. They're only more expensive when they add mew parts like on the Constructicons or Ginrai.
>>
>>5875876
Honestly, the toy is not at fault for most of the common issues people have. It's the design itself that has some problems. The toy was executed as well as possible in my mind.

I actually like them separately as well. It is a really well done set despite people hating on her colors. I personally don't find her colors offensive. It is actually easy on my eyes.
>>
>>5875883
Ah, so that's where their budget for making Blastoff's head went!
>>
>>5875883
I've got the set and like it, but there are flaws. The layout of the colors on the twins looks really bad in alt mode. It's just so random and patchwork. I think the set would have just been better if every toy didn't have every color on it. Like if one was mostly red and black, another mostly red and green, etc. You'd still get the unity when combined without them being as busy on their own.

So a Grand Max repaint is confirmed then huh? Also where is my fucking LG Deluxe Minerva. I need 3 of those.
>>
>>5875920
Those are all Headmaster Jr's (and one Powermaster). Not sure why they send all the Decepticon Headmaster Jr's and Clouder into the Legends world (maybe it involves that Hologram of Super Ginrai?)

>>5875921
You could buy him early at Anime Export for 57, so when he inevitably comes out, you should be paying something along 10-15 dollar shipping. It's too late to order now since their last date for orders was the 23.

>>
>>5875925
She isn't even getting a head
>>
>>5875925
>So a Grand Max repaint is confirmed then huh?

You could say it confirms the all Headmaster Jr's getting head only toys (Grand is in his original body, and Metrotitan never got a new toy based on Titan Metroplex, he has a shot, but a very small one). Not fucking idea why Clouder tagged along.
>>
>>5875925
These comics include loads of stuff that never gets toys, it really doesn't mean anything one way or another.

>>5875934
You guys are underestimating the boner powers of Sakamoto. Gonna call it, they were trying to make bodies for all of them but only Minerva gets her finished cause ladies first.
>>
>>5875934
Because they are going to release a Doubledealer in the Titan Masters size and he will be pretty much identical in both versions because Doubleclouder's show colors were based on Doubledealer's for some reason.
>>
>>5875942
>Doubledealer in the Titan Masters size

Haven't heard rumors on that one.
>>
>>5875916
Who are these guys?
>>
>>5875941
Most of them already have heads, the only one's missing are Minerva, Cab, and Clouder. Hasbro is probably already making a Cab, so that just leaves 2 new heads.

Scourge (1), and the Sweeps (2-7).

>Takara came to the rescue with MP Laserwave after two Third Party Shockwaves.

A) Theirs wasn't any better than those two were

B) technically, Takara's is an illegal 3P figure since they didn't have permission from whatever remains of Toyco
>>
>>5875979
That is for me to know and you to find out :^)
>>
>>5875775
Does it transform?
>>
>>5875983
They assimilated the company after it went kaput
>>
>>5875983
A)It filled a completely different niche thanthe two 3Pones, though. Laserwave looks like he walked right off the cartoon. The 3Ps are updated toy versions. Two of the three existing 3P Megatrons do look fairly cartoon accurate, thoughI'd say they fall more inline with the hybrid animation/toy style of the MPs from Grimlock until Prowl or so. If we get a 2.0 Megatron it'd probably fit in with the newer stuff more

B)Not really relevant to the discussion, unless you take it as a "3P vs official" thing.

I take that back. They both are really weird. Like the brown bits are Hasbro, the orange bits are Takara, and the green isn't matched on either one at all.
>>
>>5875941
I'm not sure how to feel about this. I'd love a new Minerva, but I'd be weird if she was the only HM Jr to get a completely new toy. I'd be like Doublecross being a normal figure, while the rest of the Monsterbots are head only, or go unreleased.

If you've got a spare of this little blaster that came with legends Prime and Cliffjumper, you can cut each gun where indicated here, then file the leftover nub on the tank barrel into sort of a square, and it can nicely interlock with the cavity in the end of the other gun, which makes them a lot easier and more sturdy to glue together. Then I hit it with a can of Tamiya black primer I had lying around. Easy as pie!

>>5876070
Eh. He's okay, but I prefer a G1 styling, and I really like the IDW flavor they managed to make apparent on such a small figure. Also, silver paint. Also, also, I'm not usually a fan of Cybertronian alt. modes. They always seem a little lazy to me, since they can basically just be a jumble of robot parts.

I feel like maybe 1 in 5 of the toys I get actually end up that way. And it's not like I buy a lot either. I typically get 1 to 2 bots per wave.

This. CW was a blessing in disguise. Although so far I've only bought Hardhead and Wheelie. Skimping on CW also caused me to splurge and buy a ton of MP repaints I wouldn't have otherwise considered.

All of my stuff generally ends up as a desk toy for a certain amount of time. Naturally, most toys get the desk treatment for the first week or so, but I'm a big fan of rotating my collection (both on desk and shelves), so I rotate in certain stuff to my desk regularly. On top of that, I have a desk at home and work, so that' two loads of desk toys at once. Naturally, I don't keep the higher-end stuff at work, but it does give me more chances to interact.

Yes

Superion has better deco and you don't have to get Beta Bravo or end up paying scalper prices for Slingshot

Menasor has better deco (save possibly Drag Strip) and you don't have to end up with Awfulroad.

Defensor has better deco and you end up with a unique motorcycle mold months ahead of all the Hasbrocucks and you're not forced to have le police brutality man

Bruticus has a better deco and you don't end up with Rip Of-I mean Take Of- I mean Hasbro's shit jet Blast Off that doesn't even look like Blast Off.

Devastator gets better joints all around and extra features like individual weapons and visor gimmick.

Computron actually looks like Computron and you get unique weapons.

every single one is better than Hasbro. As much Hasbrocucks will deny it.

You don't need unhollow arms or TV show accuracy either. You don't need it to look good. You don't need it to transform. You don't need it to be made of good quality plastic. You don't need paint. You don't need articulation. So on and so forth

Yeah, but at least the decepticon headmaster Jr are pretty similar to their hasbro titanmasters counterparts, the autobots don't, maybe Siren could pass for Goshooter, but Nightbeat needs a new face and who knows if we'll see Cab/Hosehead getting a tm.
>>
>>5876201
Wilder will surely come later as Hasbro has made a Fangry. I would not be shocked if they made a unique Minerva head down the line even if a full body never happens. Same for Cab. In Cab would also probably be easier as all you'd really need is a new face piece. I feel like they'd want to remold some of the body on a Minerva, not just the face.

In most cases it's to homage g1 toys, I say most with cw ultra Magnus as the exception due to takara going TOY accurate.

>>5876718
Season 1 is actually pretty great in my opinion, it was comfy and easy to watch. Never tried to be anything more than what it was and did what it did well, if you enjoy monster-of-the-week style shows with some overarching plot and fun characters/character-interactions, you'll get on with it just fine.

No idea about season 2, though.
>>
>>5876718
It's like a compromise between western and japanese TF productions. It's aimed at a younger audience with a lighter tone, episodic and MOTW but still has western style of writing and continuity

>>5876724
Season 2's interesting. Its overarching storyline is about Bumblebee and the revived Optimus' leadership struggles, so it's like G1 season 3 (rodimus vs optimus). The difference is that it's MUCH better handled.

If Groove was included in Megaempress' set, what colour would it be?

>>5877264
Black with dark purple would be good and play into the head's purple, but I think black and red would also work. Hell, I think Rust Dust would even work well, as she doesn't have any green on her as-is. Naturally, you'd want to tweak the green up to a bolder neon like the rest ideally, but it'd work okay as she is.
>>
>>5877264

Black and pink.

For wheel nipples. Or something.
>>
>>5876115
Well if you attach it the way it is supposed to like in the instruction it is very loose but if you attach it like how groove was with Defensor then he is solid. The chest minion was so loose that I just went with the Defensor way of connecting it.

Probably my Headmasters. Their tale is "My parents didn't throw them the fuck out like the rest of my G1 stuff".
>>
>>5877409
G1 Seaspray and Bombshell as far as hand-me-downs go. 96 Cheetor as far as my own go. That said I've never sold any of my Transformers, just given a few away to younger relatives(especially as they've become replaced by newer versions or similar updates.)
>>
>>5877409
I've had a g1 twintwist and barrage since I was like 3 or 4. The kicker is that this was like the really early 2000's.

Twintwist ain't great obviously and I think I might butcher it to give the drills to Rook, but Barrage is pretty nice. One of the horns and some of the legs were broken when I got it, and I have no idea where his wings are anymore, but he's cool.

I didn't actually discover his actual robot arms for a while. I just use the bug legs as arms. It was a cool realization when i did discover the arms, though. (I want a modern barrage- bonus points if it's not just a bombshell repaint)
>>
>>5877409
I still have my G2 Bumblebee and Seaspray. They weren't my first (that was probably Windbreaker or Skram), but they're the oldest survivors.

Bumblebee has seen some shit. His chrome hasn't flaked off, but I saw a mint one this year at TFCon and realized just ho much mine is worn down. Only real interesting story about him is that I had him "riding" in my pocket when I saw the 2007 movie on opening night.

Oh ok even though that doesn't narrow it down to know if I've been you around the shows. Btw are you going to the toyshow on the 18th where TFcon is usually held?

I'm the dealer anon. I've met the other Korean anon during TFcon but I never got his name.

Was pretty much my first transformer and I still love him to this day.

But the rear tires.
They did not make it.

I feel like i remember seeing you.

do you remember a guy who was looking for a ROTF Lockdown for a friend? if so that was me.
>>
>>5877524
Nah, I'm not local to Ontario, so it's too far. You probably didn't see me much this year as my body decided that my one vacation this year was the ideal time to get sick.
>>
>>5877524
>>5877526
I remember one table had TR products, like Siren and Stripes, it might have had a red cover. I don't recall a ROTF Lockdown nor did I talk to anyone from the TR table.

I guess there's more Korean Transformers fans than I expected. But there can only be one.
>>
>>5877526
Unfortunately I don't remember since during TFcon I was wandering around a lot since I was only there to help when I was needed for the most part so I rarely stayed at our booth. The other anon I managed to hang out with for a while and he bought a Voyager Sentinel Prime.

>>5877527
That is very unfortunate.

Am I the only one who doesn't actually give a damn about Scramble City? The only thing I like about it is that you can build a full combiner even if you don't have all of the right team yet.

Summary for this came up on the wiki:

In 2021, the Autobot Second Army has activated the transtector factory in G Nebula 89, and though they're routing all their energy into the factory's operations and thus run the risk of being unable to defend it, Grand Maximus insists that they must do their part of the plan to resurrect Optimus Prime on Cybertron. His own contribution is to implement the "Super Convoy Project", a plan to recreate the transtector that was meant for Prime but turned into Ginrai, but first he must find shelter for Cancer, Bullhorn, Wilder, and Clouder, who've smuggled themselves into the base in search of new transtectors following their final battle.
With the base under siege by Overlord's troops and the space bridge network broken, Grand believes the only place where the humans can be safe is in the Legends Universe, and coordinates the opening of a portal with Fortress (who is less than enthused to receive the humans, but relents when his brother calls him out on getting too used to a peaceful life). Arriving in the Legends world, the former Headmaster Juniors are reunited with their Autobot counterparts, Minerva, Cab, and Shūta, who explain that they joined Fortress's crew in search of them. As an apology for making them worry, Bullhorn presents them with new Headmaster-Braces that let them turn into Headmasters again. At that moment, Shockwave appears in the Legends Universe in search of Megatron, and marks Cancer as imperative to his plan...


This explains why the Headmaster Jr's (and Clouder) are all around, setting this immediately after Masterforce. Note that while events in this comic are unfolding, so are the Lynx Master, and later the Megatronia comic (thus, why they're trying to complete "Super Convoy" to revive the Optimus on Cybertron, which will inevitably go wrong, and end with Optimus body being stolen by Dark Nova).

I got a terrible fever on saturday so I missed out on all the TR figures being sold there.
The only TR stuff left there on sunday were some Titan Masters and a Sentinel Prime.
And even on sunday I couldn't make it until the end of the con because I got ill again.
>>
Any tips on painting Scourge? I want to add some silver in a few areas to make the colors pop more.
>>
>>5877637
Yes that was me if you were that Korean anon that bought that Sentinel Prime. Are you going to Fan Expo next week or the show at Hilton on the 18th?
>>
>>5877741
I'd say paint the the parts that aren't blue from the cartoon. I'm doing that with my 3 scourges with a very whitish blue.
>>
>>5877742
Fan Expo has too many dumblrites for me to endure, and it ain't TF oriented enough for me.
I was thinking of going to the collectors expo on the 18th to find Buzzsaw there but I just found Buzzsaw couple days ago at Vaughan Mills ToysToysToys.
Does that expo have dealers selling third party figures and/or TR wave 2 deluxe/voyager/leader toys too?
If they're selling brainstorm there then I'm definitely going just for that toy.
>>
>>5877750
Yeah, but I have zero experience with painting toys. Any tips on what to use?
>>
>>5877751
Yeah My Cartoon Heroes will be there and my boss will working with him that's why I'm only going there on the Friday as a regular person. On top of him I usually see some other dealers there that sells official and 3p. The Shelf Life guy apparently goes there every year when I asked him and he sells TFs all the time. Then you also get the Hasbro shop selling SDCC exclusives there as well.

By the way, I just realized that I did say the same thing about not getting Apeface and ordering the Takara Weirdwolf when I met you during TFcon but you replied to the wrong post this was me >>5877507

>>
>>5877766
>>5877772

1 day Toyshow at Hilton Mississauga where TFcon usually is held. I like going there to hangout with people and enjoying window shopping for toys that I can't buy.

>>5877777
My buddy actually has both of Peter Cullen and Frank Welker. Not really into that sort of thing that's why I passed them and I had to skip Welker's panel on Saturday cause I had to leave early but it should be on Youtube so there's that.

This was the closest I got to him 2 years ago and my phone camera was acting like it was running on potato during the whole thing.
>>
>>5877724
Is there a difference between the Transector and human parts, or do they have the same personalities?
>>
>>5877790
We don't know. The Living Transtectors (from the Godmasters are, and Headmaster Jr's) are barely shown doing anything.

We do know that Goshooter, and God Ginrai have similar personalities, but still have enough differences from their human counterparts to set them apart.

Overlord and the other Decepticons HM Jr's (and Clouder) were apparently made pure evil, but it's not known if they kept the pure evil personalities after Devil Z's death.
>>
>>5877787
I'm gonna go for sure if the entry's only $10.

It's $10 after 11 am I don't get trapped by the $20 early bird.

I live close that's why I can easily go there.

NOPE
>>
>>5877807
That's makes perfect sense in context, Japanese fiction can get way more convoluted that this, like all the dead Autobots just suddenly being alive with no explanation (even Ratchet was alive before the Lynx Master comic, despite it making more sense to bring him back during the comic).
>>
>>5877825
Well it's always an option. I already pre-ordered the Takara cause I like the faced Brainstorm since I did watch the Japanese Headmasters so I am completely fine with that. At this point the Takara would be infinitely cheaper than the Hasbro especially being in Canuck land we don't really have Walgreens unless you don't bother driving to Niagara or don't mind paying scalped prices for that version.

It's gonna be roughly $50 for Brainstorm since it's 3200 yen in HLJ.

>>5877839
Last year the Hasbro only started selling on Friday. Well either ways I'm gonna be there on Friday to just walk around.

Remember to bring your own water bottle cause a bottle of water cost like $5 for 200ml price gouge.

I'm hoping they just sells wave2 at this point. During Thrilling30 they had this great deal for 2 dexlues for $20. Last year they had nothing other than con exlcusives iirc.

>>5877868
I'm gonna call that it's also nothing but con exclusives, Star Wars black series, and pony shit like last year.

Is it worth it? I've been mostly sticking to <$10 legends and titan masters, but Sixshot looks pretty solid. Blaster does too, admittedly.

>>5877899
TRU had a sale last week and the leaders when they had it before it disappeared on their site was like $40.

Personally I don't buy Leaders unless I really like them or they're on sale.
>>
>>5877899
Worth's a subjective thing, but I feel Sixshot will probably be one of the best values for a leader class.

>>5877933
I don't know about this one in particular, but in the past other retailers have picked up the exclusives of stores we don't have here. I remember getting a number of Target exclusives at Zellers, for example.

The simplest way is to get an American for middle-man it honestly until we find out how it'll come out here. Likewise, Walgreens doesn't exist in EU or Asia, so they'll probably get some sort of release too, probably.

It's a great figure, really wish they'd make an updated version (cough cough Wolfwire). It didn't make a damn bit of sense having a German Shepherd in Beast Wars, but it could totally work as part of a police-themed Transformer team (like the Protectobots, but without the Fire Department and Ambos).

My actual first transformer was RID Super Sideburn
I was a youngfag and never gave a shit about the shows or anything but I thought the toys were all really cool [spoiler]I pretty much still think the same way[/spoiler] and I always did and still love the look of his car mode

I had him complete up until 2-3 years ago when my I got a visit from my sister and her dog, the latter of whom managed to get into my room unsupervised and to put it bluntly Sideburn was among the casualties.

But then a few weeks later I found out you can buy mint condition unopened super sideburns on ebay for like 20$ so I just bought a new one. The new one has looser joints in robot mode though which kind of bugs me.

I like Trypticon's base mode if only for the fact that it doesn't look like a humanoid robot sitting down with its arms and legs splayed out, and I was going to say that you can kind of fanmode generations Metroplex into an aircraft carrier but I'm pretty sure that's actually just a mistransformed official vehicle mode.

I don't display him so I'm not too concerned about it, and it's really close to other apps which is why I've never used solvent of any kind. Fuck, it is fucking stuck on there good.
