Well, I guess I was lucky. You can't really see the damage part without getting close and under bright light (the part is white) and the melt part looks like bullet dents.

On other note.
What is the point of having all those Titan master heads but no bodies in proper color to go with them?

Also my point is that the majority of continuities say that RIRFIB. The G1 toyline is no exception. It is also not the basis or the core of this argument so it'd be best for you to stop using that as a poor argument

Wrong. Nip Masterpiece is based on the cartoon. They also call "Deceptions" "Destrons."

Hasbro MPs get repainted for toy accuracy, hence Soundwave's cartoon innacurate yellow eyes.

The Blue Cassete, Deception Rumble, is called Destron Frenzy in Japan. Here in the US Destron Frenzy is colored red and packaged as Deception Frenzy out of confusion, instead of Deception Rumble as it should be.

How is G1 remotely important?

It was painfully underfunded, poorly animated and was written by writers that didn't give 2 shits about the show. You could say that it was the birth of Transformers except for the fact that Marvel's G1 came first and the cartoon took its ideas from there

There is 0 reason for G1 to be considered "important" at all

That's a one-off animation error, fucktard.

That "error" came about because it was taken straight from the story bible of the cartoon. See that small number over there? That's Rumble's product code number.

I will always be RIBFIR because I got into Transformers through the original cartoon. I recognise the legitimacy and prevalence of RIFFIB, but I saw the cartoon first and it's my favourite interpretation of the characters.

The leaked Megatron is growing on me. I wasn't that impressed at first because Apollyon and Despotron already proved how cool MP Megs could be but the more I look at this new one, the more it looks like the perfect representation of the character. My only nitpicks are the feet that are a tad to slim (because of the transformation I assume) and the weird overdetailed back/side of the thighs. Looks like Despotron will be sold.

Anyone here feels the same?

Huh, that is gonna feel weird. I got into transformers through Beast Wars and my first experience with G1 was mostly images of the toys, scans of the comic, and some low res screen caps of the cartoon. Because of that, the toys are my primary perception of g1, and I forget how much the G1 cartoon changed. Shame, because I prefer the 80's Japanese toy aesthetics to the animation in a lot of cases.

>>
>>5904425
You are falling for trolls. G1 is only important in that it created the basis for the story and characters. Everyone knows the Marvel comic is the actual canon. Everyone ALSO knows the cartoon has zero continuity because it was no more than a 22 minute toy commercial with special effects to entice me and other kids in the 80's to get their folks to buy them toys... fuck, even the writers werent allowed to be in th same room with each other, and thats why there wasnt a coherent plot, a branching storyline, or an over all direction in story telling. Writers weren't allowed to collaborate.

Stop falling for trolls you autist. They can't be retarded without you giving them your retard juice first.

Sometimes I wish they wouldn't. Normally they get me outright insulting stuff, like a giant globe because "you're stupid and don't know shit about geography", or Adam Sandler DVDs because "you like shit things". Or seven copies of Green Lantern on DVD.

The worst was when they didn't talk to me for a month because I told them I couldn't make use of a teflon-coated grill they'd bought me. I have budgerigars and teflon fumes could knock them stone dead.

I'm trying so so so fucking hard not to be an ungrateful shit, because at least this time they made an attempt at getting me something I'd like rather than just being dicks.

To save energy being small, the transtectors are only for combat/expploration, not daily use. The appeal is pretty much the same as gundam/macross, your pilots are the main characters, the robot suits their tools.

Jesus, nothing broke, but I can see how fragile he can be, so many ball jointed sections, still PLASTIC hinges, and those die cast feet connected onto the legs via balljoints...jesus christ dafuq, they should of shelved the idea until they could get some years into this.

Overall, like current day mp's its alt mode over robot, the gun mode is fucking amazing and comically oversized, the robot mode is fucking shit but loveable in a way, for 12 days he's quite amazing, but quite clear he was a rushed project that's only selling point was his rivalry with optimus himself needed to be held

I don't know how I'll get the 2.0 with my country's laws but damnit my desire is not only stronger but now I can leave the 2.0 in botmode with this big ancient thing beside him.

2.0's gun mode looked good but this thing still rocks.

So what, Brainstorm's head is a former acrobat pilot that fell into the cockpit and thinks Chromedome is the coolest shit and gets his suit when he dies and has a squadron of Hardhead and Brainstorm under him who are respectively death fodder and the strongest pilot , and everyone lives on the Super Dimension Prison Fortress Maximus under Admiral Cerebros as they move back to their homeworld and Brainstorm gets in a love triangle with the idol singer Loudmouth and widowed old hag Nightbeat but eventually Loudmouth fucks his cousin Clobber instead and the trio of fools Wolfwire, Mindwipe, and Skullsmasher infiltrate the Autobots but find they like the culture of them and Loudmouth's singing is used to ward off the Decepticons at a turning point in the war, Highbrow defeats Scourge in a knife fight and take him as his wife, and in the reconstruction era where most of the Autobots and Decepticons live on the same planet together the remaining Decepticon forces of Galvatron and Astrotrain do a suicide attack against Fortress Maximus and Grand Maximus as an expression of this weird love emotion the Autobots have, killing every one of the Autobots except for Brainstorm and Nightbeat and the two set out for space on the Brave Maximus?

It's literally the ONLY CONTINUITY where Rumble means fucking anything other than "generic crowd-filler who dies like a punk". For all your hating on the toon, when you hear "Rumble", I bet you imagine Frank Welker's voice for Blue!Rumble. He actually got a lot of lines on that show, in all three seasons no less.

When has a Red Rumble ever done anything memorable besides die?

I don't have him because I never really liked him enough to go through the hassle of importing him, but whenever I'd see him I can't help but gawk at it.

Hopefully I'll be able to get MP Autismo 2.0 because he looks great, I'm definitely going to try getting him.
I'm actually going as far as planning to contact my country's customs agency about the matter to see if it's something that can be done and to ask about any precautions I should be taking with importing him to prevent any foreseeable misunderstands and complications.
>>
>>5904631
It is to me. When I hear "Rumble", I think the blue cassette punk. I can't help it. It always feels wrong to me when the colors are reversed.

[spoiler]And besides, it's more balanced that way; Frenzy has the cooler color scheme, Rumble has the cooler power set. If Frenzy is both the plain blue one and the one with no clear use of his powers, then he just sucks.
>>
>>5904668
Frenzy's powers are sonic weaponary and power drills in place of piledrivers. If anything that's even cooler

But he never used those abilities in anything, because they're harder to visualize I guess? So he's just the Other One. The only time Simon Furman remembered Frenzy's cool powers, he had him killed by using them. So yeah.

Comic book legend Steve Gerber story edited the third season, and brought a slightly darker tone and more variety to the stories. I'd definitely say Gerber, Marv Wolfman and co. were better than Bob Budianski at least. Not to mention the cartoon fuckin' gave us The Movie, which was so cool that even Simon Furman was like "Yo this shit is totally canon".

Hell, I'd even argue a lot of season 1, such as The Ultimate Doom, holds up really well. And when it came to goofy, dumb stuff, that stuff was more palatable too cuz, as you put it, it was consistently dumb. "Hahaha foppish aliens that communicate entirely through super-powered singing, that's so dumb" is a more palatable kind of stupid than "Haha the Autobots all turn into amoral sociopaths when Optimus isn't around" or "Haha Optimus knew that and still killed himself over accidentally killing NPCs in a vidya"

I can't tell, and I'm uneasy about trying any customization before I know for sure.

>>
>>5905143
It's painted. All of the purple that looks different on the toy is actually painted.

Were there any animal-type Transformers aside from Terrorcons/Insecticons? I have a gator/croc that is pretty old and looks a bit like Skullcruncher/Skullcrusher and an orange and red lion as well. Might be knockoffs, but they have surprisingly good designs and have lasted a few decades.

In g1, there were the terrorcons, seacons, predacons, pretender monsters/monstructor (all combiner teams), the dinobots, insecticons, monsterbots, sky lynx, several pretenders like octopunch and stranglehold, etc.

UW Computron is awesome. After all the random little niggles that kept UW Bruticus from being perfect, I was kind of worried. Computron doesn't have any of those. Strafe holds together well, there isn't any molding errors like I had on Swindle. He looks impressive as fuck and is perfect. Despite being entirely retools he feels like every part was made for him and not just repurposed from other toys in the line.

Also drill hand. How can Betatron even compete?

The gator/croc and the lion are my main interests, the lion really does not look all that Transformery, for lack of a better word, but the Crocogator seems to share a number of design traits with the rest of my original collection. I have a handful of Cyberjets and three Beast Wars figures, Tankor drone as well if pictures are wanted.

Seriously, I like the TM's but most of them don't fit well with the released figures.
>>
>>5905312

Alright, I'll do a couple.

>Autobots
>Ultra Magnus

So generally SG versions are colored like their nemesis on the other faction. Nowadays Magnus's nenesis tends to be Overlord, so he'd be a big blue, black, white and teal Ultra Magnus, with a black Optimus with orange windows inside his armor.

Since Magnus is a stickler for procedure and rules, SG Magnus would be a loose cannon outlaw.

>Roadbuster
SG Roadbuster would be a pacifist who hates war, maybe even a mechanic.

Since the Deluxe Vehicles and Deluxe Insecticons were both licensed toys from Takatoku, they'd be opposites. He'd probably be either Barrage or Chop Shop colored.

>Decepticons

>Kickback
uhhhhh, well he would actually get to show up in shit instead of getting eclipsed by the other Insecticons. Since, you know, opposite land.

Since his thing is being a friendly but manipulative bastard, his SG version would be harsh but supportive. He'd make fun of you, but be a true friend.

I'm not sure what the rival faction for the Insecticons are. Dinobots, maybe? All the silver on him would be gold, all his black would be gray, and his yellow red.

>Breakdown
He'd be in gray, black, and red Skydive colors. Instead of being paranoid, he would be incredibly trusting.

>Slipstream
Windblade colors. Instead of being bitchy she'd be motherly and caring like Arcee.

They probably didn't want to commit to beast bots without having remold potential.

If they do Predaking, I 100% expect his pre-mold to be Abominus, and there to be a base body that'll end up the animal version of the Deadend mold.

Modelling/crafts/hobby/RC shops, online and offline. Recommend using Brass rods, they can be cut easily using wire cutters and are resistant to oxidation. Transformers uses 1.5mm diameter rods I believe. If you need a specific brand try KS metals.

Thanks. I need to salvage some heads from some junkers but hopefully this will do. I didn't realize how pricey he got though. I was hoping everyone was going to ditch him for Groove but he turned out as the best limb bot.

>That entire idea was awful

But Masterforce is regarded to be one of the best Transformers series out there in regard of the 80's and early 90's before Beast Wars 2/Neo. It was serious enough and had an extremely solid story for the most part. Even the real transformers in the series which were the pretenders had a good human aspect to them.

Good night Anons.

Yeah, he really shot up in price. Guess making a solid, fun toy really does wonders for popularity at times.

He's a rarity in this day, and age. A new transformer that isn't based on an old one in any capacity, and wasn't recently shown off in any media (he only shows up in the background once, and combined, then never again).
>>
>>5906028
That's why I said it was solid for the most part, they tried doing innovative things that just was poorly executed and was cringey/annoying.

>>5906030
Well it's a good toy and people have been using it for Memes and shit that's why. Same goes for Alpha Bravo. For a not muh geenwhine toy it is quite expensive individually since he's a solid standalone figure and people do use him for customs and shit.

Nope, people got him when no one knew Slingshot was ever getting released, the most people either tossed him aside and used him as combiner fodder, or just used him to replace Blades on Defensor since his colors matched the team more.

Rumble and Frenzy can change color at will and do it all the time to mess with people because they're assholes.
>>
Incidentally I think Rumble is blue and Frenzy is red because of their different takes on battle.

Rumble: brutish little street fighter, uses subsonic sounds to cause quakes, compare to baseball bat. Hence, blue.
Frenzy: horrible little psycho, uses supersonic sounds to induce mental effects, compare to stiletto. Hence, red.

You just literally proved my point. He's solid that people use him as a combiner replacement for others. If he is really as shitty as you're implying he was then people wouldn't be buying him and I've seen a lot of people bitch about him that said they won't buy him but after getting him those same people started praising him for being a good standalone heliformer.

G1 haters (it's fine not to like it but all the "MUH GEEWUN", "why should we care about an outdated shitty commercial" and such are the starting point of half the shitstorm)

"No one knows the dead quite as well as the Decepticon hypnotist, Mindwipe. A mysterious and mystical one, Mindwipe claims to have the powers to commune with Transformers who have long since left this plane of existence. From Black Sabbaths to seances to super-conductive antennaes, Mindwipe knows of many methods to reach those who now rest in peace.

Well, not really. He desperately wants to speak with the departed sparks of dead Decepticons, but all his labors to create antennae and receivers for the departed have had limited success. In reality, all he's picking up are radio broadcasts of old Earth sitcoms, which he's actually become quite fond of. Still, some day, Mindwipe hopes to finally bridge the gap between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead. "

Well, I now know who I'll be purchasing next.

A bunch of the 84 cast are like that, they're unwilling worker class peaceful robots pit against vicious war machines. In 85 and 86 you start getting more interesting guys like Red Alert (paranoid schizophrenic), Grapple (just wants to build), the Aerialbots (Silverbolt is afraid of heights ffs), Swerve, Whirl, Rewind in IDW just to name some

Many of the Autobots get by from being total badasses in the original comics, like Ratchet and Blaster. They're heroic but because it's TF they're willing to straight up kill the Cons
