The last time that happened to me was with the AOE 5-pack. I got them for like 60% their individual MSRP combined because the local dealers were trying to turn them over quick. It's quite amazing because they had takara-tier paint apps.

>>5898776
I love that Downshift. No clue why he's just so cool to me. I guess it's the guns.

I like him too. Something about the fact that he mixes two of the most painful stings in the animal kingdom and can fly. The Beast Wars Sourcebook (as shit as it was) added to this by giving his missile the effect of melting the opponents insides and burning them to death from the inside out.

>>5898776
Lament?

You should be neutral at best. Good toys on clearance are only good in the very short term. Long term it's actually really bad. That means they're not selling. If they're not selling, new toys won't be ordered for fear that they won't sell either. Underordered toys command higher prices whether or not they're scalped (which is more likely due to smaller supply). When Hasbro sees multiple waves underordered, they go into cost-cutting mode, and release crappier (but slightly cheaper) toys on purpose to entice retailers. That becomes the new status quo.

>>5898867

>sale on TR stuff in Australia
>almost whole range
>can't decide between saving money on TR or buying premium redeco's via legends

Help me decide here, I can't make up my mind because I can't process between saving money or "premium" paint jobs

Now, I've been looking for a voyager classics optimus prime, and the platinum one shall stand and one shall fall set is on sale for $100aud, the problem OTHER than the deco (I'm used to clear plastic) is I have an old henkei megatron which I paid roughly the same amount as a current day voyager+ shipping, and I've been having a hard ass time finding a classics voyager optimus for anywhere near his price, should I buy this set and duel wield megatrons or do I continue my search for a classics voyager optimus (yes, I like the mold)?

The TR voyagers I'll be skipping (local chain has only galvatron which I already have and I have a sentinel in the mail) but the problem lies in the legends leaders and deluxes.

For the deluxes, I already have the legends versions which I like...but I also like the TR deluxe heads specifically the 80's headmaster crew (I already have a skullcruncher which I've ripped apart for a megalligator custom), can I justify $20aud just for a head or is that retarded, otherwise suggest a custom that's more than just a redeco if you can please.

The leaders tie in with the legends, see I have my sights on PMOP because he's technically a different character to super ginrai, blaster on the other hand is giving me a headache, pay extra for a different deco or save money ($60aud as he stands), I wanted the takara version JUST because of the grey used (the hasbro version has glittery legs, I HATE the grey tone AND the sheen AND how strong the prescence the glitter is) but otherwise are exactly the same toy, same for rewind (already have stripes), is it worth sticking to takara due to my anti glitter plastic bias or save $40aud after shipping and crap for takaras?

I wish this was wave 3

My plan initially was to get the TR versions over the legends but my hlj pre-order bumped in before them, I'm basically trying to justify a second hardhead head variant, both looked fine otherwise.

>Think hard about this: Will you feel regret if you end up buying the glittery Hasbro figure? Disregard the discount. Is your hatred of the glitter strong enough that you'll feel bad once you have him?

Good points, I'll have to ponder, if the plastic was a flat color without the glitter I would of went hasbro in the first place (because the helmet makes more sense as a toy homage than takara has done).

Some of those figures suggest that you're a MTMTE fan. Why not have a Lost Light crew? Maybe you can have a shelf layout where the figures are on one side and a physical comic is on the other.

Also I really think you should display City Commander next to Protector armor Rodimus.

It looks like FunPub's Shattered Glass Drift. Notice the purple Autobot logo on his shoulders.

I think they made him into a loud-mouthed mercenary who quips a lot, hence the red and black color scheme.

Mileage may vary, but I kinda like them, it means my sweep army will have 3 different bodies but as every points out the main issue is the clear plastic.

Also cyclonus doesn't come with his target master, he gets a redeco'd musket from kup

>>5898978

I think that idea is exactly why they don't look right to me. They're supposed to look like they're in the middle of reformatting, but the color layout doesn't follow through on that in either mode.

Hell, DOTM managed to do it better.

I probably wouldn't have minded as much if they were just original new decos, but this triggers my autism.

Guys, I found a fort max fan mode I like.

Its small, compact, it rolls, and kinda looks like a city even if not accurate.

Only problem is unlike my metroplex he can't double as a table in this form, until I bring down the center pylon that is

>>5898992
Is that just a perspective trick, or is CW Cyclonus's jet kibble around the same size as Universe Cyke?

>>5899026
Still works for me as I missed out on the original release.

>>5899027

>The hanging arms don't look like they're gonna stay put in that mode.
If you mean the fort max arms they're no different to his hasbro intended city mode, basically all this mode does is fold the legs underneath the main body, they'll hold.

>I like the way Clobber and Crashbash are hanging out; does Max have spots to hold TMs in head mode?
I liked the trophy wall kinda look and wanted the other guys like that too, sadly their peg holes are too wide to stay securely.

As for TM's in head mode do you mean AS a head, none on the top of the head, the shoulders of the body have pegs though (which are the ones clobber and squeeze play are using)

Otherwise could you rephrase the request?

>>5899033
>>5899040
Just to add I found one port on the head but its meant for control tower mode, its a BIG peg so its a tight fit, got a feeling its intended for locking down the head in head mode.

If you also (in regards to the handing arms) did you mean how the guns are hanging off, there are compatible 5mm ports holding them, if they fall its because of the ports being worn away, I don't intend to pull them off any time soon as I want fort max as another table for my crap

You know how Clobber and Crashbash are held by the tiny head when they're in dino mode? I was asking if Fort Max had any indentations like that. Places where Titan Masters can be held via the tiny head.

>hanging arms
It just looks like the actual arms are sagging. I assume the ratchets are pretty tight though.

Ah, table mode, shame the center pylon won't fold more so I better keep heavy weight off it

>>5899059
SDCC, if you get it its because you were there, its kinda regretful as I basically paid the price of 2 deluxes for the sword, pre-applied stickers (one is missing, you see it on >>5899046, and poorly applied) and a poster, oh and a slight retool for the titan master to look like fortress but painted (poorly) to also homage cerebros.

>>5899062
>You know how Clobber and Crashbash are held by the tiny head when they're in dino mode
They're held in via their feet in dino mode to the upper jaw but um...well the only spot for a head in headmode to sit via the headmaster headpeg is via the cerebros body, basically what becomes the head for cerebros can remain there when transformed as there is a cavity when he's in head mode.

Doesn't need to be used so you can have emmisary run around while fort max runs about the place

>>5899065
Kek, I posted delta magnus last night and no one batted an eye to the fact he was off the table, here he's far more safe even now

>>5899062
And perhaps and hopefully that best explains where a headmaster can "head on" in headmode, the body which becomes fort max's head is basically a giant titan master, I just folding up his back kibble to expose the face in robot mode.

>It just looks like the actual arms are sagging. I assume the ratchets are pretty tight though.

I forgot to answer but I will now, they don't really look it to me, but I have some faith they'll hold, metroplex's have held and they been in a simerlar position for over a year.

The ratchets have a louder click to them than the shoulders do at least

I am really on the fence about him.

And a final pic, with emissary legs stretched out so you can see him.

Basically this is it, only TM pegs are under the "neck" of the head for tower mode, only TM port for head compatibility is as you see here, and even then its NOT necessary for fort max other than the play pattern

There is nothing wrong with the idea of the retool, infact I find sdcc devastator to be an interesting choice if takara didn't give both to people.
The problem with him is his deco doesn't catch your attention, its closer to anime accurate but its certainly not close to what takara has done (which is almost collectors grade stuff), I know people hate chrome but a chrome face and sword would give it a WOW factor.

Otherwise they could of cobbled together a pretended shell for emissary and gave us grand max, I mean shit even the clear sentinel prime was more eye catching than fort max

Anyone here have the Universal Studios Autobot Evac? I have a pass to the park and I'm on the fence with purchasing it. Also, they have TR Blaster for $80.

Usually I have to wait at least 6 to 8 more months before I see the newest waves, but holy shit all the local stores are hauling ass this year! Halls in Knox TN is anyone cares.

Also they were like $20 a piece... oh well, I payed my bills, I'm good.

Waves 1 -3 releases are lined up when all stores order more product for the holidays coming.
I saw wave two at Walgreens as well but then they showed up 2 days later at Target and a few days after that at Walmart.

In theory most stores will be pack with new TRs here in a month thanks to Christmas.

For you.

>>5899469
Not trying to trigger anyone, friend, because I do think Hasbro Computron has it's charm. It's closer to the G1 toy, and they used a better mold choice for Lightspeed (I hate the CW Breakdown mold). The Hasbro version also has the better hands/feet, but that didn't matter to me since I really like Perfect Effect's hands/feet that double as weapons.

Apart from Takara giving Scattorshot a better chest and Computron head, the sets really are debatable.

...Except for Nosecone. Anyone who thinks Hasbro's take on Nosecone is good is obviously blind.

>>5899478

Imagine if, instead of releasing entirely different shit for each region, they pooled their resources and made one REALLY GOOD toy for all regions?

Imagine if everyone got Legends Blur.

>>5899481
I'm pretty sure a lot of that has to do with Hasbro not wanting to spend money on paint/retools. Hasbro cuts a lot of corners to make figures fit into a certain price point, make a bigger profit and sell shit to kids. Takara doesn't have to worry about that kind of shit (aside from profit) and their pricing can be all over the place because of this.

>>5899481
The problem is the price point. Western markets has an MSRP while Japan and Asian is basically, just do what you can and it gets priced accordingly.

>>5898788
You have a good eye. Downshift is fantastic. So is cannonball despite just being a repaint.

I like Hasbro's Nosecone with a new head and maybe a better drill. I don't like Rookcone's bot mode or deco.

>>5899500
If you want to get more technical, most of those also got a Takara and Hasbro release in slightly different decos, plus there are the G2 ones.

>>5899500

It was Deadend, how many of those were mass retail releases? 5 doesn't seems that bad for one of the best molds on the line.

Deadend

>>5899509
>I like Hasbro's Nosecone with a new head and maybe a better drill.
I agree that Hasbro's Nosecone could have been decent had they remolded the head and gave it a bigger drill. However, they didn't even bother to do any of that, so it just comes off as a brown Brawl with a drill coming out his ass.

I can understand UW Nosecone's deco not being your cup of tea (I personally like it though), but the Rook mold is widely agreed by the fandom to be an excellent mold. Saying you don't like his bot mode is weird...but I guess that's just your opinion.

>>5899507
Yea, sorry. Meant to say Deadend.

I'm working on the same but using the legs as the arms, the apeface will be on a bar like mindwipes head, it will be only a mask and the titanmaster form the back of the head.

>>5899621
As far as I know, there are literally zero parts shared and none of them would be compatible either (slightly different sizes, etc). That would mean it's not a retool and more of just a reused concept. I may be wrong though, I don't have a CD yet.

What exactly did BW hold back? It's not like Car Robots had to start over from G1-level toys when it brought vehicles backs. BW made as many advances in toy tech as any line if not more than average.

The Car robots inherited all the awful shellforming from BW. It took until Classics to get decent vehicle formers. Even MP and alternators before Classics weren't that good. Cyberjets and Laser Optimus where amazing, I'd love to continue on that path instead of fucking BW.

>>5899812
Yet vehicles have been popular in every other era. It seems like a huge excuse as to why Transformers did a random bullshit tangent that we've rarely revisited since then. It wasn't as successful as people like to imagine. It's just a lame 90's EXTREME re-imagining like GI Joe Extreme or all those awful superhero comics.

The problem with Hasbro Blurr isn't even fucking the amount of paint, it's that instead of using two plastic colours they only fucking used one

They could have easily had an at least passable alternative to Takara Blurr if he even remotely resembles the cartoon colours but instead they moulded him in all blue. And they didn't have to do that!

I'm no stranger to add-ons. Got a proper head on my Kup and my Classics Seekers all have nullrays.

But I have just ordered my first-ever Shapeways order. A helmet and cannon adapter for Galvatron. Purple strong & Flexible Polished. What should I expect?

>>5899825
There were plenty of great vehicle TFs in Armada, Energon and Cybertron. It didn't take until Classics like you say.

>>5900055
shapeways stuff is a bit odd textured, of course I have never ordered polished stuff before from them. From my experience though it feels a bit gritty, and idk if it would handly a lot of stress. The only things I ever ordered with Replacement tires for RID Fire Convoy, and for tires the plastic they use is amazing. Idk if I would want parts made of it though.

You mind pointing out areas that might have paint rub off due to friction, or tabbing in things?

>>5899516
No, I like Rook's bot mode...for Rook. It just doesn't resemble Nosecone's bodybuild at all.

>>5900196
If you put Scatter twin guns on Computron thights they look like the g1 "thight wings".

>>5900203
Only places I can see paint rub POSSIBLY happening are Strafe's wings and the way they fold up. But you'd have to ham hand the fuck out of it to have paint rub off. Maybe also the white part of Computron's chest. But again, you'd have to ham hand it pretty bad for that to happen.

>>5900208
I can see where you're coming from. I guess I'm just a really big fan of the Rook mold. I didn't think it'd be a good fit for Swindle...and it kind of isn't, but that mold is just so good that I like it regardless. I really like the way Nosecone turned out because his head sculpt looks awesome, and you just can't beat that big ass drill.

>>5899822
My favorite is how teeth were stupid when GoBots had them (for a legitimate canon reason) but now it's OK for TFs (because artists or reasons).

That's great, some of the UW Bruticus components can suffer from that, and the G2 sets (mostly Aerialbots, and Stunticons) suffer from it pretty badly.

Interesting. I was actually thinking about getting the G2 Aerialbots. What parts of them are subject to paint rub?

Reposting from the last thread because I'm still new to /toy/ and the smaller bump limit. Sorry!

Good morning Transformers General. Just hoping to get a silly question answered. I found the Transformers Legends, 3" figures to be my favorite, but from the looks of it they are either pretty expensive or quite cheap on Amazon. I am pretty sure I remember seeing them on discount at a few places around town - would it be wise to grab the ones I see, because they seem to be semi-rare, being rather older in their release.

>>5900181
>did they mention if the new legends Bumblebee will be used to represent another character.

I'd say theres a damn good chance he'll get a Cliffjumper repaint/deco.

>>5900230
>transspark

isn't Jin still loved over there? When he getting his vagina installed?

>>5900224

It suffers the same flaw as Scourge's. It will flop forward or backward at the actual connection port because nothing blocks the tiny head from moving in the port. However, beyond that, he's a good figure, and it's not like his head is going to flop just sitting there.

>>5900227
Because they used to be human before the Master Renegade fucked up their planet by crashing asteroids into it. It therefore makes sense for a robot body to have teeth and other facial features.

>>5900235
Oh boy:

-Silverbolt's tail fin, plus the sides of the combiner plate are painted, and the paint was thick enough that it will eventually start rubbing off.
-Wing tampos on Slingshot, Fireflight, and Sky dive will definitely rub off if you fold them back when transforming them (in Skydive's case, it's the hinge that will rub off)
-Airraid might have a problem were the wings pivot, but I think it has enough clearance, but the silver on his chest and sides will start chipping after a while (the original had this too).
-Last, but your YMMV on this, the paint applications on both Fireflight, and Slingshots chests go all the way to the pelvis, so that can chip if you ham hand it, plus Fireflights tail fin is painted and will start rubbing off if you ham hand it

>>5900239

>>5900266
>but the silver on his chest and sides will start chipping after a while (the original had this too).

This is actually Skydive, sorry for mixing that up.

Can anyone sell me on the Titan Masters? They look sort of interesting, but seem expensive for a tiny bot and vehicle combo.

>>5900224
A drop of Future shine or clear top coat fixes that with minimal issues
Just let that drop dry before plugging the head in

>>5900104
The colors are near perfect. The size of the head is a little small on the body in robot mode though.

>>5900275
Fun

>>5900275
They're basically oversized Target masters, but instead of having a vehicle, gun, and robot mode, they have tiny pilots that ride a object that can turn into 2 vehicles, and a weapon.

>>5900275
They're really nice desk toys. They transform really quickly. Plus, you've got a (clunky) gun you can arm your bigger dudes with.

>>5900275
The only one that's really fun on my own for me is the Crashbash mold. But they all become way more fun if you have larger figures to use them with.

Well I guess I'll skip on those guys then. I was only sorta interested in that set.

So, I'm looking at Generations 30th Skywarp, Legends Skywarp and Legends Combiner Wars Skywarp. Maybe Animated Skywarp, if just for collection purposes and that smug look. Any experience with any of those? I have the Legends Starscream so I am not overly worried about that one.

Also, Ratbat RID minicon - worth the $5? Figure I might grab it and Crashbash and have all the listed Transformers to play with, as well as my box of G1/Beast Wars/G2 stuff.

>>5900330
>generations skywarp
the game one? that mold is fucking amazing dude, the only issues is the head block showing up in vehicle mode, and the strange cybertronian cheese wedge vehicle. Some people don't like its look.

>legends CW
It's ok, and it shelfwarmed like crazy so it should be easy to get. It's a more rounded version of the legends one and has actual elbows and knees. Not sure which "legends" one you're referring to since there's like 2-3 recent legend SWs.

Glad to hear the Generations version is pretty awesome. I'm perfectly fine with odd vehicles, I mean I'm sitting here with the Transformers Universe: Skywarp, which is a pretty crazy design in Robot and Vehicle mode.

Legends CW is around the $12 mark from what I have seen. Love the mold it uses - the design is really nice.

The Legends I mentioned is pic related.

Animated is $34 I believe. A bit nerve inducing, if just because it's a large sum for a single kit.

Thanks for giving me the heads up/teaching this new /toy/ fan what you know.

>>5900239
Well, which figures are they? Based on which ones they are we can tell you if they are worth picking up.

Also, out of curiousity, what board are you usually from, or are you new to 4chan in general? You seem too polite to be from /toy/ or 4chan in general.

>>5900374
That's not CW, that's the 2014 line. It's a shit mold, don't bother with it

Also there is no Universe Seeker mold

I took your idea and played with it a little. I honestly really like this for some reason. It has a nice six-shot vibe to it with the colors and it looks pretty neat.

The Gen30 one is the only seeker mold that I've got all 3 mains. It's ridiculously posable.

New store listings for TR Leader Overlord and TR Leader Black Shadow are confirmed.

>>5900391

>turd parties literally rushing to do Overlords
>for some strange reason Iron Factory did both a Sixshot and Black Shadow suddenly

so it's confirmed that Turds know what's coming out before we do, right?

Oh shit. I think I'm gonna go and preorder Takara Ginrai now..

>>5900377
Last I remember, Warpath, Cliffjumper, Skywarp, one of the Primes and I think a Dinobot. I'll be going there Friday to see if they still are in stock.

Sorry for causing any confusion/issues, I need to get back into Transformers better, so I do not say things I might not mean or understand. Again, sorry.

Ten year veteran. Use to post on /toy/ years ago when I had access to the future releases/prices at Toys R Us because of my job there. Now I mostly stay in the Transformers General here, browse Toy somewhat, and otherwise stick to the Smite general on /vg/ with trips to /vr/. Nothing special, honestly.

>>5900391
Thanks Anon! I'll make sure to pick at least Skywarp and Starscream up. Maybe Thundercracker if I get desperate.

>>5900403
Seems like it, they predicted Shockwave, Inferno/Grapple, and seem well on their way to predicting MP Mega/Galvatron, Trailcutter, and Springer.

>>5900407
I'd def recommend Warpath and Cliffjumper. While Megatron is a better use of the mold, Warpath is a servicable alternative, plus his red is real nice. Same goes for Cliffjumper, except I prefer him over Bee.

>>5900407
Don't worry. It's really the fault of the line, for moving the "Legends" tag all over the place.

I use "Legion" as the name for the older, smaller Legends. That was what they were called from 2011-2013.

The current "Legends" are around the same size as the old Scout class, or the Commander class. I guess choose whichever to refer to these.

Titans Return Deluxe

Yay or Nay?

>>5900415
>warpath
That repaint is shit, skip it. Doesn't even look like Warpath

>>5900418
You mean the deluxe class products overall? That's a yay for me. Mostly good toys.

Opinions differ on a case by case basis.

>>5900418
Which one, you retard?

We gotta be getting a new Warpath soon, right? Rumors are floating around for a new Cosmos, and we've already seen the new Bumblebee.

>>5900418
Yay, most are great, just some qc issues with loose joints, but the molds are pretty solid.

>>5900418
If you were to only buy a few, I would recommend Weirdwolf and Chromedome to be priority. The worst (excluding Blur and Scourge) is probably Highbrow because he feels cheap and he weighs less than helium.

>>5900430
I dunno, the 2011 one is really good

>>5900415
Yeah, I have the Megatron tank to go along with Warpath's H tank version. To be honest, I love the design because it keeps the Gen 1 chest gun, silly as it sounds. Cliffjumper seems solid to me, I just hope the toys are still there!

>>5900417
The nomenclature for Transformers does seem a bit difficult and redundant in the worst manner.Makes me wish it was more like Gunpla, in having grades instead of names/classes. Not to mention a chance like that could possibly lead to Transpla.

>>5900425
There's a Highbrow and Chromedome available at my Walgreens

>>5900430
Generations Deluxe Warpath will forever be the definitive Warpath. He's fuckin flawless.

>>5900438
Get both

>>5900403
Possibly, but I imagine some of it is just popular characters without toys just getting toys.

>>5900430
A TR Warpath that could cram a titanmaster inside would be sweet.

>>5900438
Highbrow can have a wobbly head, but otherwise is pretty good, if you are tired of the Deadend/Stretwise transformation get Highbrow over Chromedome, he isn't bad either, just doesn't feel as new.

>>5900439
I like him, but a attempt at a more normal tank would be appreciated, the lack of a handheld gun seem's odd to me (atleast you can make arm cannons).

>>5899016
...which is how i got Prime Prowl, too. I forgot who got donated, though. I do remember dropping him directly in the Toys for Tots bin in Wal Marts foyer.

>>5899645

Skullcruncher, Maybe
Mindwipe, nooo

>>5900538
Then what are you getting from TR?

>>5900403

I wouldn't call MMC announcing an Overlord literally years ago to be "rushing" it. Or IF putting one out, what, a year ago? Black Shadow did come out of nowhere fast as fuck though. And Sixshot was recently announced by IF. But MMC has had a Sixshot for a long time now.

Also it's been rumored/semi-confirmed by several people that HaskTak not only knows what the 3P's are making (and vice versa), but their designers gab with each other all the time trading ideas.

I'm just saying it's strange that Black Shadow gets a Leader Class toy when more well known characters only get Titan Master figures.

>>5900651
That seems to be the usual Hasbro MO these days.

Wasn't this pack the exact same price as two individual deluxes?

I managed to ride it when I was in California and I enjoyed the fuck out of it. Even if it was over priced I bought a large decepticon insignia shirt and the deluxe Evac that I still haven't opened to this day.

>>5900651
Not really, he should sell decently for TT in Japan, has enough fan interest to get a 3rd party figure made of him and he's basically a preretool for Thunderwing so there's two non-asspull uses out of the mould right there. I think he's a pretty smart choice actually, he might already have a Generations figure but him and T-Wing deserve something bigger than a deluxe and the TM gimmick will do a good job of substituting for the Ultra Pretender gimmick, throw in a intergrated TM vehicle and you'll capture the spirit of the originals quite well I think.

>>5900699
Heh. I suppose if there's a bot you would keep in-package it's a park exclusive.

Maybe if you ever go back to Universal you should get one to open.

I would be down for that. Warpath, Seaspray and Cosmos would be the ultimate land/sea/sky combo for Titan master rides.

But it's a great mold, though, regardless of accuracy. It's a shame only Japan got a proper Megatron out of it.

It's a cute little tank with a clever transformation and a working turret at a legends scale, no less. It's better than the leader class tank, in my opinion.

>>5900761
Good mold, shitty repaint
Also the japan version is overdone shite

>>5900773
How is it "overdone" exactly?

>>5900774
It's the definition of "oh look, another megatron in the same old dull silver and grey". The Hasbro one is way more unique and interesting

>>5900776
I suppose that's one opinion. I never found good, G1 Megatron molds to be particularly overwhelming in numbers. In fact, before the Takara repaint, had there ever been a tank Megatron with a G1 paint job?

>>5900778
There were several Legends class repaints of figures originally meant to be G2 Megatron

>>5900778
>>5900779
Also, WFC Megatron
