Aka "a coin flip decides which is better"

IMO I like the use of the colors, but the knee's while cartoon accurate (in colors at least) it'll be off putting over hasbro's black and light grey.

I'm glad to be getting this even if its a redeco, I just hope he doesn't suffer as much as the hasbro version with its QC issues

>inb4 they're made in the same factories

That's why I'm hoping they noticed and fired the dumbass incharge of it but I shan't hold my breathe

Now the real surprise

>the truck body ISN'T painted

I'm actually glad it was done in a matte blue plastic, sure its not a glossy white like magnus but its safer to handle (please correct me on that, I assume magnus's all painted).

One thing that amuses me is normally an alt mode is safer to transport and more compact, he really is more fragile here
>>
>>5896979
>what's the Transformer that's won you over the most?

Titanium Scourge. He's not the best toy ever, or even the best Scourge ever, but he puts the obligatory diecast to good use, looks good in both modes while being nice and simple for quick conversion. Definitely makes a good Sweep army for Titans Return Scourge or Generations Scourge if you can live with the wildly different alt. Modes.

But at least Unicron's arms aren't in the center of his back and his head isn't jutting forward on a boobshelf. Not to mention Smokescreen has nowhere for his crane in robot mode so there's partsforming.

So I just cracked the box of fruiticus and holy fuck those colors are amazing (thanks to my shit taste) but shockwave here is the real winner

His joints are tighter than both my hasbro shockwaves, I'm digging his action master homage, AND him and 2 hasbro shockwaves make a good fake reflector.

Still, this configuration is a piece of shit, but once its perfect it holds, can't use it as a weapon because its a heavy bitch

Ok, I was wrong, but it's gonna fuck him up over time so I think I'll have "reflector" here just sitting around.

Also question, haven't taken out all the combaticons yet as I'm really worried about onslaught.

Is there a guide to fix him, I heard sanding a strunt can fix him but will that affect his other modes, I want him to work as intended.

What do I need to just pull him apart and fix him, I have hasbro onslaught on hand so I can work out how it should be, I just need a tools list/guide

I do like the Hasbro's lighter color in robot mode, but the Takara's coloring with the shuttle and train is superior.
The mold would be perfect with the mix of the 2.

They're really pulling out all the stops with the accessories now. Back when Hasui was in charge, the MO seemed to be "just the essentials". Now we're getting the kitchen sink treatment, which is cool, I guess.

From the looks of it they are painted, unless the paint is only on the back side (because its grey on one side and it looks like a match to the grey plastic, not easy to do with paint not without a difference in sheen)

But not individually, as in a whole blob of paint.

Really the problem is astrotrain in g1 and MOST shots of real trains (as in older models) have them the same color as the actual train, what I thought takara MIGHT do was paint the little...um line things above them in silver like those bars that move when the steam engines move (I'm not a train expect so I don't know the name).

But they didn't, but really, it could be worse like...pic related

I heard this was an issue with all heli-molds, but doesn't surprise me, as I heard the other g2 guys are weaker in plastic strength.

He was a background character. He was portrayed as a very talented architect/engineer, was always chilling with Hoist when shit needed to get built. He lamented that his skills had to be used for war instead of art.

I'm still curious just how big these guys are in alt. mode. There haven't been many comparison pictures. I also wanna know where the fuck the boom/ladder go in the robot mode, they seem to disappear completely. I know that they're absent from the G1 animation models, and that's the bible, but the massive hook is such an awesome design element, it's a shame for it to not be utilized on the robot.

As for the ladder it folds into the main body so no parts forming which is good but unless you open him up the ladder is off limits in robot mode.

I'm not attached to either one, but god damn the engineering is amazing, with the only fault being the arms being more visible than they should in truck mode

The only QC issue I've noticed with the Hasbro Astro is the wing holes on top are looser than the Sentinel version.

The Sentinel version had looser joints all around, but not floppy loose, at least, not for me.

As someone who grew up with G1 bricks, lets see...

Anything Bayformers, for their complete shit aesthetic designed by retards for retards.

The G1 bricks themselves, because they were cool for their time but had little articulation beyond what was needed to transform. Theres a reason why they're called bricks, it's because they didn't DO much. They kind of were terrible toys.

Anything gold plastic, for the obvious reason.

The Bayformers stuff actually do have distinct silhouettes and faces; on the Autobots side at least. As far as TF character desig, they're some of the best, where as G1 has some of the worst. Personally, I'd say Armada has the best all around character design for the core cast.

Me too. I started buying wholesale cases and taking them to cons but people are so unbelievably poor these days. All these people say they need these toys and hate scalpers but at the end of the day they won't pay what it costs me to order them.

It mystifies me they bother with cases anymore. In this day of "We want what we want and nothing else" I'm surprised they don't do specialized orders of some sort. You can't tell me they don't understand that certain things WILL and WILL NOT sell.

You'd figure it'd be beneficial for Hasbro too. They'd see hey, no one is buying those shit repaints, only the intended character for a mold.
>>
>>5897301
Probably because when they see you charging more than MSRP for a toy, they think it isn't a good deal. And honestly it's not. Just because someone doesn't want to overpay for something doesn't mean they're "unbelievably poor".

>I can't find this stuff at retail either, so my choices end up being to pay a scalper for what I want or buy a case and throw away the other 1/2-2/3 of it
Or you could just be patient and order this stuff from Amazon or the Hasbro toy shop when it eventually shows up.

You know, companies like Coke have brand liaisons to go to stores and check displays, making sure their products are properly stocked.

Why doesn't Hasbro do that? I mean, we're how many months into a new line? AndI've still not seen them on shelves.

No, seriously, I want to know what stake a poorfag that won't pay retail has in what these mythological scalpers do or don't do. Are you butthurt because scalpers are getting these toys to people who spend instead of letting them rot on shelves at a store near you?

I just got this mold the other day and love it. Gives more of an anime mech feel than a TF feel. the tabs for the shoulders are scary good. like loud snaps good. while the wing tabs don't really stay in completely all the way.

I added some small bits of red with a paint pen and it makes the mold pop more. I loooove the pistols. They don't look off for Starscream, but at the same time they're refreshingly different.

You said you were asking for what it cost you to buy them. So is that $15 or no?
>>
>>5897405
You never said you were selling them at retail. You just said you were trying to cover your costs, which usually implies a markup, seeing as how you're buying at decreased volume compared to a retail store.

If you're charging 15-16 bucks for a Deluxe and people are turning their noses up at it, then yeah, they're poorfags, or just retards, but I honestly don't see how that's the case. Most fans are rabid to get shit at anything approaching retail cost. Hell, I might even pay as much as 18-19 for a Deluxe, as long as it's not going to a scalper, but since those fags usually just sell on ebay, that's an easy trap to avoid.

I've seen a few people using skullcruncher's tail thing as a makeshift arm shield by slotting the holes into the croc claws hanging off the arm.holding it in by the gaps the croc claws. How does it look flipped around in the other direction like a mounted gun/melee weapon thing?

She's not a bad figure. The issue is the heels which if you turn them a bit more then become a non issue. She's well articulated and comes with neat accessories. She's way better than her buddy scoop. Hes barely RID warrior class worthy.

>>5897785

No one defends it, but guess what? Every fucking one of them has shit leg joints to some degree. So your choice here is a $5 bottle of futureshine that will last forever and solve the issue, or nothing.

And most people would probably just buy that bottle over not getting a genuinely fun toy.

It'll just clash like hell and we have no confirmation that it can actually be held like a shield. It looks like it shares many parts with Apeface's vehicle so there's a good chance it can only be held like a gun.

Use it for Trump Prime.

>use it for trump prime
I like orange but his colors don't do it for me at all. Especially when I'm getting astrotrain which is the same figure but more my liking.

Lion shield is going with alpha trion because they're both lions. Plus he has a sword so it works more for me.

I don't go by the colors. I was going to get Apeface anyways. He just worked great for Galvatron. Brawn is maybe the only one that the folors helped. Plus it's a nice headsculpt.

Hauler would be a pretty great reuse. I wouldn't be surprised if that was why they went for Inferno so early, since most of the other chosen Masterpiece molds have had a few obvious repaint choices. If Tigertrack or Checkpoint can get an MP, then Hauler (who combines a pretty autistic origin, Constructicon colors, and a neat backstory) is pretty much a given.

Simply bringing up gender neutrality is Tumblr thinking. Nobody else cares about gender for Transformers.

Go back to Allspark. Nobody cares about this shit. Nobody that isn't a SJW tard even thinks about what gender a Transformer is.

No. That was Furman's moronic obsession. It was garbage then and it's garbage now.

Anyway the Marvel books still had shit like Ironhide having a human girlfriend. The cartoon had females by the second year. Transformers have had genders since the beginning.

If you don't like that, then fuck off to a show made for you. Transformers belongs to white males.

>>5898262

No, because I'm not hung up on scale in a toy line thats never given a shit about scale in any form beyond the MP line, and only barely so.
>>
>>5898269
So why should should blaster be a leader?
>>
>>5898272
So his Legends size pals can fit in his chest, which is way more important to autistic G1 fans than him being leader size.
>>
>>5898272

Callback to his original toy. He doesn't have to be. But this one specifically is.
>>
>>5898275
Let's face it, the only reason why the Cassettebots are legends sized now is because of Rewind who's a minibot in IDW rathee than a cassettebot. If not they'd be smaller
>>
>>5898279
He's legend size now because they probably wanted them to have decent/passable articulation, since their last attempt at new cassetess was a fucking disaster that clogged shelves for months, and NO ONE liked them because they were horrible.
>>
>>5898291
They were also springloaded as all hell. I want to say small well articulated legends cassestes can work, but it's all in the execution, and then there's the issue of them being bigger in the fiction than they should be. It's a bit of a mess.

Well if you want to be anal about it, Blaster in reality should be around Voyager Size if you want to go with the proper scale from the official book, but the toy is on the large side cause there was no real scale in G1 and the Titans Return Toy is doing a callback to it also logically it is easier to design his chest minions to legends standard scale on top of him being retooled into Soundwave since Soundwave was as tall as Megatron. Sure they can do him as the WFC voyager but why would you want something like that?

>>5898291
>My TRU got the first 2 waves of Thrilling 30 Legends figures a year after everyone else thanks to the FOC disks taking up 50% of the transformers aisle

I still have nightmares, nightmares that they'll return.
>>
>>5898291
Fakebusker's cassettebots for WFC Soundwave were articulated as hell and tiny as shit too. Also with legends class articulation becoming more complex it shouldn't be hard to downscale it.

>>5898304
Why the hell would Blaster be a voyager? He should be a deluxe. Soundwave also shouldn't be as tall as Megatron.

The WFC mold was a deluxe, you massive retard. It's the shitty FOC one that you're talking about, and that actually was retooled into Blaster. The WFC one should have been too

>>5898308
>stop disliking what i like

>>5898297

But Megatron is a voyager in this line.

>WFC voyager but why would you want something like that?

It's a great figure, and well done cassetticons have been made for it by modelers, so it is possible at the voyager scale.
>>
>>5898312

They were pretty articulated for their size.

So calling me a retard cause I just mixed WFC and FOC since I never played those games or cared for the toy line it brought makes your argument more valid?

I guess when your argument is not that good the best thing to do is to just chug out insult right?

>Soundwave also shouldn't be as tall as Megatron
Probably in your head canon, but the official art shows they're the same size and about all the media that you see them together they are always the same height so I guess they should be the same size? I don't get why are you arguing about this when the last 30+ years of the franchise this was already the case. It might be a cliche but if you don't like it then probably get the rights from IDW and make a series where Megatron would be 10x bigger than Soundwave for your "Soundwave is not as tall as Megatron fetish" so you will have some validity to your claims.

>>5898314
I was thinking of the CW Leader Megs since most of the people that is what they're gonna put the Leader Soundwave with anyways.

This thread is so eclectic, the other anon is getting mad about the scale so I showed him the official scale art >>5898304 and I was also the guy who made fun of the wrong animation scale in the shows here >>5898266
so why are you trying to point this picture out to me when the topic moved from the cell animation errors but the scale they are in from the official art book and everything that came after it that showed them at the same height. I think we already established that the G1 Cartoons especially Season 1 and 2 were complete shit after you take out your nostalgia Goggles that's why Geenwhiners can't accept that Animated and Prime were really good series.

The better question is why am I defending Soundwave and Megatron's scale when I never cared about the American and UK fiction and I'm only here to talk about the toys. It seems that I'm taking crazy pills now.
>>
>>5898378
>Generations is G1 oriented
fucking lol

also
>Animated and Prime were really good series.
Even including G1 there has never been a single "good" transformers series ever.
>>
>>5898374
In the comics he was sort of a leader of the autobots who were left on cybertron after the ark left, I don't think it was ever explicitely stated, and I remember Perceptor being in a authorative role in that story as well, so he might've been the leader.

Animated. Even had a great cast.

Marvel created the characters and base story for the franchise, then it was used on the cartoon, it matters a lot. weird how the bastardized cartoon version is the most popular, just like TMNT.

Grimlock specifically challenged blaster to lead, which means he was a leader.
Also he kicked Straxus' ass

I too can make up bullshit anon

>>5898462
That's true though.
>>
>>5898457
I read up on it, the straxtus story, Perceptor was in charge, Blaster was never officially made a leader, Grimlock won the initial leadership contest, and when everyone wanted Blaster to be leader, he never got a chance to be, because he had to surrender to grimlock, after that optimus came back.

Leader Perceptor when?

Takara for me, simply because Wave 1 shipped without Sentinal Prime, meaning it's solid cases of Galvatron, meaning that he will glut the shelves and prevent Wave 2 from making it here. If I have to import something it might as well be the one that looks like the cartoon and comes with the comic.

Seriously, this is fact. Jim Shooter wrote about it not too long ago on his blog even.

I loved Shooter and the way he wrote those blogs but that's obviously a simplification. Diaclone were piloted mecha that fought some piloted alien mecha. Microchange was even weirder and needed tiny pilots that they weren't including to work. Basically they were merging 2 toylines and needed a storyline to justify why robots would be sentient and in disguise.
