I don't know why i get sideways pictures from time to time I posted that picture form my PC.

Are the mastermade figures worth a pick up? That omega and Trypticon just look so tempting and fun.

Do ko's like Kubianbao, Takasa Tony, and similar groups count as 3rd party? I know they are takara knockoffs, but some stuff like the BB7 coneheads are a different mold from the takara ones, and Kubianbao makes a lot of oversized stuff. I'm just not sure if it's something to discuss here. The tfg isn't the place... That thread is just shitpost general.

>>5905613

I've seen them discussed in both threads. So pick and choose I guess.

No one does. It's dedicated shitposting the past day or so. /tfg/ and this thread were both filled with it.

>>5905786

Pretty much this.

The megs are going for entirely different aesthetics anyway. DX9 is blocky and chunktastic. Despo is a more stylized version. MP megs is a sleek gewun linework version for better or for worse.

but honestly the original is really rad for what it is, not every toy needs to be MP level

hey so does tfsource charge up front on preorders or only once they ship?

The toy is only rad in his super mode, so I was wondering when a 3P toy will appear that would fix the proportions on bot mode and the shit looking vehicle mode.

Wouldn't he be like, 12 ft tall or something, given he'd have to be sized according to MP Optimus, and FortMax is so retardedly huge he dwarfs everything in the TF universe other than planetformers?

>>5905989
I imagine they'd probably only make the Spike/Cerebros part.

>>5905989
he was pretty small in the Marvel series, actually.

Which was rather stupid, but it was a TF comic series, not like they've ever been of quality.

>>5906003

Yeah, but if they were going to make an MP, it'd be based on the cartoons.

Or anime.

Either of which, Fort was huge.

That image annoys the fuck out of me.

Fortunately, inside my head, where everything makes sense, Fortress Maximus is a battle station/ bunker base for the (human-sized) Nebulan headmasters and precisely as large as his (again, human-sized Nebulan) Headmaster partner allows - and since I go by the Dreamwave notion that the Headmaster armor is about twice the height of a human, Fort Max is roughly 64 meters tall.

It always bugs me when they call them "Transformers" in fiction for some reason. I know it's irrational.

As far as the Japanese MP line is concerned they don't give a fuck about the American or UK continuities.

2016/2017 is Beast Wars' anniversary year. Takara also seems pretty fond of it considering their Legends line uses BW characters as mascots. I would also say its for Hasbro to be able to market, but honestly considering Hasbro's current team seems to not care for BW, I think that wasn't a factor. and besides, Armada was more popular so if they where thinking of making an MP with shared marketability, it'd have been armada Optimus.

Name a single Dreamwave title that comes even close to this. There's a lot of dross in IDW but when it's good it's fucking golden.

>>5906374
Can't get over the shitty cartoony art in that, sorry. People shit on Pat Lee, but there where plenty of other great artists working on those comics. Dreamwave is the definitive Transformers art style as far as I'm concerned. You still see the effect of it on both official and unofficial styles to this day.

The only good thing Dreamwave ever did was hire Guido Guidi, Alex Milne and Don Figueroa, and even then they were severely hampered by the enforced Pat Lee house style. They're putting out so much better art now that they're off that fuck's leash.

Plus none of Dreamwave's writers could write for shit.

How many people here collect 3P stuff exclusively or almost exclusively as far as Transformers go? 3P started off as accessories or additions to the regular classics line, and now it's like you can forego the classics line entirely.

For those that do only collect 3P, do you have a sort of checklist in mind(i.e., all the G1 84/85 characters, all the show characters, things like that), or do you just collect what you like?

>>5906439

>>5906439

How often to buy a toy that you have no connection to?

I've never read a TF comic before but I knew Carnifex was a guaranteed buy the moment I saw him.

>>5906261

They had eight issues of files. Hate DW all you want (I don't, I only hate Funana), there was nothing wrong with MTMTE.

>>5906263

Disagree.

>>5906421

...Yep.

The first mini was outright rancid.

>>5906503
I've actually not watched/read that much Transformers (not even finished with Season 2 of G1 yet, though I have seen the movie) but there's loads of characters/toys I love/want to get regardless. Case in point, Defensor. He was barely in the cartoon, but I love the concept and his look so much I had to get Guardia (I was originally going to stick with the UW release but the ports all cracked).

My personal favourite fiction is the G1 toy bios, because they packed in so much flavour into such a small space. Like, you didn't have to watch the whole series to know the character- you buy a toy that looks cool and it comes with everything you need to know about him.

>>5906503
When they look good and have interesting engineering/gimmick. It doesn't happen a lot.

>>5906476
Solid and posable. Their transformation is a joke though.

Oh and one of them needs to be opened to cut a part or something to fix its misaligned chest.

I grew up on beast wars, so probably 75% of stuff I buy nowadays is g1 slavish remakes that I have no connection to. They were really good designs and I can appreciate the fiction from a distance, but man, the cartoon doesn't hold up nowadays. I've tried to watch it twice and I can never make it more than a couple episodes.

>>5906518
>My personal favourite fiction is the G1 toy bios, because they packed in so much flavour into such a small space.

I really miss bios in general. Titans return stuff getting a one sentence bio feels way more sad than it should to me.

>>5906546
That's what happen when your designer/engineer is shit.

Making good looking 3D robot models doesn't mean you're capable of designing Transformers. A lot of third parties should realize that.

Love it. Iron Factory do the opposite of Hasbro when it comes to legends. For Hasbro making a coherent Alt mode is the priority and they build the robot from there. IF build the robot first and then try to squeeze an alt mode out of it.

It's not like the comic design is any better.

>>5906687
Yeah Id much rather have a good looking robot over the altmode since Im going to be posing and photograpghing it mainly in robot mode; will definitely being picking these guys up.

>>5906687

Are all of IF's stuff Legends scale? I saw Scorpnok for $80 of tfsource so I was wondering how big he was going to be.

>>5906655
>Alt modes are weak
>Implying that can even be called an Alt Mode

>>5906817

The Scorponok is specifically going to be bigger than their usual stuff. So is the Optimus/Ginrai/Whatever the fuck he's called.

I think they said Scorp will be around Voyager sized?

So I am absolutely regretting buying TR Galvatron every day goes by, I want to buy the shapeways cannon piece that'll make it just a bit more tolerable

Thing is, I've only ever bought "-color here- Strong and flexible polished" parts before. I want a smooth finish for that, people have told me I should get it cast in "Frosted Ultra Detail", but I've also heard that's more brittle and prone to breakage

Considering the overall thinness of this part, what should I get it cast in?

>>5906917
Given that it's a piece that needs to take stress I'd say go for Strong Flexible Polished, and if necessary give it a good sand. FUD is good but not for parts that are under physical strain.

If you give him a helmet though then buy that in Frosted Ultra/Extreme Detail and paint it. generally speaking the rule of thumb is:

Static parts that need high detail (heads/faces, unmoving detail parts etc): FUD/FED.

Parts that move, or are under any level of physical stress (moving parts, sockets, weapons etc): SF/SFP.

He's supposed to be about 6.6 inches, so 17cm. He'll probably have the bulk to make him a small voyager and outclass deluxes. With what I have with me at the moment, he's going to be a little smaller in height than GT's Constructicons. Pic related is the only thing we have to go on with scale.

>>5906938

I hope MM gets to scorponok eventually. I want a bigger representation of the character but don't like the design of Pandius.

Head becomes his little partner dude. Mini drone scorpions detach that form 5 fingered hands instead of 3 for robot mode.

>>5906687
Considering Milne really didn't even design a proper alt-mode to begin with, I'm cutting them some slack just for being really cool-looking robot figures.
Seriously, re-read the first Drift mini and it's almost painful how he avoids drawing ANY alt-modes to his designs unless they're barely-detailed background decoration.

Bit of bad news. Turns out there's a screw that was too short was installed into hook that causes trouble when transforming him (could even break).

He clearly has cavities in his chest for something. I have no idea if it'd be G1 compatible though.

Given how this one is very clearly IDW Overlord, I'm wondering if they might be planning a redeco/slight remold down the line with the Godmasters as a clearly Masterforce Overlord.

There's still time for them to give a surprise announcement of the Godmasters coming with him though, and I guess they could end up selling them separately too.

Not gonna lie, the base mode looks kind of shit, and doesn't look much like it should.

The rest of the figure though looks beautiful.

>>5907660
oh the base mode is proper garbage. It feels like they're really half-assing their figures, nowadays. I only hope that they can fix his thighs before they release him. I'd hate to be transforming him and having chunks of him fall off/break. His shoulder-pads look like they're too weak to hold up his buckler, so everything just droops.

>>5907686

Well, not the first time an MMC figure had a part that could fall off (Commotus), but it wasn't really an issue since it was designed to come off in the first place.

Only way to find out is to wait for the reviews. Much as shitpost-anon loves trying to shitpost with a pic from a test copy at a con, only way to see if it's fixed is to see actual reviews.

>>5907689
Except it's MMC. No reviewer will be honest about it. You'd better off waiting until most people get theirs and watch some TF boards. People paying for their stuff are usually more honest.

>" " "base mode" " "

>>5907603
There's a point where they probably should have no bothered with a base mode (or only mentioned it off-hand as a fan mode". The toy is going for IDW Overlord anyway, who never had a base mode. And in light of that, it's no real loss to me. If this was trying to be Masterforce Overlord and the base mode was that weak, I'd be more concerned (not that the base mode was ever common in Masterforce anyway)

>>5907871
They likely won't be doing a re-release. Cynicus has already had his second run and the mold has been retired.

Thursday for me my dude.

>>5907865

>>5907871

I actually got mine about 3 months ago off eBay for like $5 over MSRP.

His joints are a little looser than I expect from MMC, but not floppy loose. I might have to toss some future on him eventually, but for now he's fine.

I wish I had a little bottle of vodka and a cigarette he could hold to accompany his slav squatting.

>>5907946

Lets see some pics, give us some details, how is it? Any QC problems?

This probably makes me a heathen, but I don't care much for full-on 3P figures. They have shortcomings just like HasTak but with some customization and 3P add-on kits, the HasTak shit is great.

I've got a G1 helmet and gun adapter for Galvatron. IMO makes him much better than Sovereign looks.

I saw a video where someone put Mania King's head on TR Galvatron, but it's not as good a mesh as I'd have liked, it's too stylized. Looks wonderful on Mania King though.

I'd buy the fuck out of a Voyager-scale GEEWUN Megatron done correctly though. 90% of my issue with 3P is they focus solely on Masterpiece. And I don't like Masterpiece.

>>5908191

Given the scale difference between an MP Megs and Voyager Megs is about 2 inches, there wouldn't be that much difference anyway.

>>5907865
They're likely to reissue him soon, like Hexatron and the Feralcons

>>5908211
>2 inches is not a major difference in height

>>5908191

I prefer 3p solely because the MP line isn't always the best anymore and I like what big budgets can do for a toy.

If hasbro had 100+ dollar MP quality figures at wallmart I'd buy em.

>>5908191
I enjoy upgrade kits too, but sometimes it's a hard sell when a HasTak toy plus its upgrades cost about the same as a whole 3P toy.

In general though, I've not picked a "side". I buy what I like, which is a combination of 3P, add-ons, shapeways/resin kits, and HasTak. And I'm happy that options exist so you can get the version best suited to you.

>>5908534
>I buy what I like

And thats how you become the true master race of /toy/.

Buying what you enjoy.

It would have been too crowded to include all the major third parties. Although it is worth noting that there is is definitely tribalism within 3P for certain companies. Just look at any thread comparing the 3P options for a MP character.

Got off work a while a go and just now getting to messing with him. My first impressions are mixed atm. While he's not wowing me like the pics and reviews he's certainly not disappointing. I'll post more thoughts after transforming him and further messing around. Worth noting is the knee issue wasn't resolved and can slide with very little effort.

>>5908637
>Worth noting is the knee issue wasn't resolved and can slide with very little effort.

Well shit. It's supposedly from a pin thats not in enough, do you see a pin poking out somewhere that you can tap in or something?

Transformation was fun and a little challenging for the first go. Nothing felt fragile that it would break outside straight ham handing it. Only nitpick is I wish they'd allowed more clearance for the head. Could see the potential for scratching if your not careful.
>>5908655
When I transform him back into bot mode I'll look.

>>5908793

Oh, and did he come packed in bot mode or gun mode?

Did he have an orange buttplug stuffed in his gunhole? Was it easy to remove if he did?

I ordered off BBTS and this is my first "hurr we gon' put a plug in'em" figure I've ever bought so I'm curious because I don't know how much of a hassle removing that bullshit might be.

>>5908800
He comes packed in Bot mode in a shitty clam shell. the extra faces went everywhere when I opened it. I wish MT would use classy foam padding for their MP or something. No worries about the plug pulls right out no glue or anything.

Real talk who does the best job with packaging? So far I'm most impressed with Generation Toy's foam inserts and textured boxes with the art on the sleeve. I'm slightly partial to MMC's magnet doors but the CGI always looks tacky as fuck. I also like the simplicity of the Function X boxes.

>>5908860

I like MMC's packaging. Pretty solid. Don't own any Gen Toy stuff, but theirs looks great. I used to do Warhammer stuff, and kept my models in shaped foam packs like that to protect'em, so shit like that is basically impervious to breakage as long as you don't go King Kong on the fucking thing.

Also BBTS has the best packaging I've seen for sending shit. Their bubble wrap is great and they put it all around everything. They're the only place I've bought from where the shipping costs ALMOST feel justified.

Man I dig the look of MM's Omega Supreme. I'm not really a fan of SD stuff, but the aesthetics and weapon playability here look amazing.

I've never made a 3p purchase before but I think I might try this one. Can anyone here testify if he's worth the $130? He looks nice but I'm not sure if I want to make the jump for such a small figure.

It gets a lot of flack but my quality issues on it have been zero to real minor. Mainly clearance issues that can be avoided and Cerberus knee joints that can be fixed with a fan mode or a fan fix if you prefer.

The individual bots really outshine the combine mode but that doesn't mean its not great. My copy has no problems with the thigh joints on Cerberus and its dead solid with both leg combined modes.

If they ever do release a v2 I'd mainly just fix the knee joints on Cerberus for future owners. Everything else on my copy has been great and I rather prefer the individual bots in some cases.

>>5909246
>geewun pandering
>what are "first world problems"?

>>5909124
Pros:
The train mode is really nice
Comes with some decent accessories

Cons:
Paper-thin plastic
Bad qc
Shuttle mode basically worthless because the thrustor piece won't stay pegged on
Made with a 'it's for a shelf so it won't be transformed more than once and therefore doesn't need to be well-built' mentality

If this was built as a toy it would be a great figure, but as it is now it will bring you nothing but frustration. Unless the Chinese are already knocking it off and I bought garbage instead of the real thing, but it's pretty completely knocked off if this is the case

What is the "best" MP Bombshell between the Badcube and Fanstoys ones??

>>5906552
This. I like a lot of third party stuff, but they really need to work on compromise, and making both modes good instead of making one awesome, and the other a complete afterthough. If I just wanted an articulated robot, I'd buy one. I like Transformers for a reason.

idk. Fanstoys is more classically MP, where Badcube's are just fun.

>>5905535
Can anybody help identify a toy I had when I was younger?

It was a robot made up of three trains, one large locomotive type train which made up most of the figure and two bullet trains which formed the arms, these trains could also be stored in the robots legs in train mode.

The word is 'flak'. It's German. 'Flugabwehrkanone'. If something catches a lot of flak it is about to crash and burn - it is being shot down.

Next step is to use a tool to press the pin further in. I used an allen wrench. I recommend laying him on a flat surface while doing this. Managed to get it tighter than it was.

Does it just clip in, or is it screwed in?

Its clipped in. You have to carefully pry it off.

I just want to add that its BS we have to fix a $140 figure. I expected much better from MT. Despite that I think he's a solid figure all around. The transformation is the best yet from from this company (if you've messed with past offering you'll understand what I mean) and is comparable to Takara. It'll be interesting to see how their megatron transforms. I can't wait to see theirs and Dx9's seekers.

I pressed it in. I should note you may need to do the other side as well but, Kuma revealed that some of the pegs are glued in on that side and he ended up breaking one or two of them. What I did was pry it back enough where I could get to it with the tool and press it in also (see pic related). Just use caution.

Adding small bumps at both ends to lock the knee in place would have easily avoided that issue.

Honestly it looks pretty good, so at least it's not going to definitely be ugly AND broken. Hopefully it's solid.

It does make me wonder how likely an official one is. I don't really know how to judge the likelihood. He'd be a natural companion piece to Star Saber, but who knows how well Star Saber sold. Plus, their "secondary" MP releases seem to be occupied with Beast Wars for now. I also can't help but feel if that if they wanted to make another non-84-86 G1 character, they'd do something like Ginrai before Victory Leo (funny enough, doing a Ginrai and then Leo would make sense given the fiction).

>>5911525
Given the fact Star Saber even has the ports for Leo says Takara was or is considering him. Takara has been sporadic with MP so it may or may not happen.

>>5911534
Given how SS was a total passion project for Yuki, I imagine he put the ports in even if it was unlikely. Not to mention that it really doesn't take much to make a Victory Saber-ready SS. Just have somewhere things can mount on the soles of the feet and on the back.

>>5911506
Remember when reviewers were saying their Perceptor was good? Because I sure do.

>>5911647
Well Bobo has been shitting on XTB/KFC for awhile. So I imagine a face turn from him has to mean something,

Their designs are two of the best and iconic from the games and we still don't have any good Ironhide or Ratchet in that scale from any line or company. It was one of the no brainer designs Hasbro and Takara managed to pass on twice when they had the chance. It would be so easy to shit out a repaint and new head with either. Now that they're not in the Dinobot trap I thought this was going to be one of the next designs they would kick out of the park.

>>5912852
I think once MT announced theirs, everyone forgot about that one.

>>5912772
That's actually the opposite.

>>5912931
Yes. The right hand is "open" while the left hand is closed, with a hole in it for holding weapons. Bit of an odd choice there.

Well you better wait, because if you don't, this may be your future.

Coming off the coat tails of carnifex is a bad idea because everyone probably hit their toy budget that month.

>>5913010
not necessarily
I, for one, don't really like Carnifex that much, I find the other 3rd party Overlord recently showed more interesting (even if the legtank is meh)
Of course, I'll wait for the reviews before getting Jaeger

>>5913019

Sure. Carnifex is a high dollar boutique item for a IDW collector. Not everyone is going to be all about that.

But I do know that he's going to a be a pretty hot sale because he's the only modern Overlord and the more geewun/MF Overlord is coming from a new company.

Post Cyclonus
I hope it comes with an alternate head for the IDW looks

So, how big is DX9 Carry? Is it too big to go with TR Galvatron?

>>5913097
Carry is MP scale so yes.

>>5913083

The one on the right looks way better. Does it come with a swappable megabuster?

I'm waiting until Takara reveal theirs which shouldn't take long since Hoist is only a few releases away. For now, FT (not in the pic) has my preference.

>>5913177
That looks nothing like the IDW one so youre right, it is shit.

The problem with retools is that it loses the individuality of the character.

That being said I like Jaeger the best.

Eh.

Was gonna get this, but having to get IDW's fuckboi and the color matching issue stopped me.

>>5913373
It's probably not too hard to get that kit on it's own.

>>5913373
You're probably the only one who wanted the kit and not tailgate. I'd let mine go for like 10 bucks, drop your email if you're interested.

>>5913402
Problem is I don't have the right colored Cyclonus

I've seen what the darker purple one looks like with the kit applied and it looks VERY bad.

Got Despotron in today. Fucking beautiful, everything is tight. Thigh swivels are almost too tight, I hope they loosen a bit with time.

And yeah, he does slide in a bit at the right knee, but in my case, it's only after posing him a bit. He doesn't slide just standing there. Might not even bother trying to press the pins in for something so minor.

Also be careful with his cannon Anon's. He took a goddamn chunk out of my finger trying to slide it off his arm after I put it on to test how hard it would be to take off. Which was pretty hard in my case.

Haven't transformed him yet, haven't done much other than test his joints. I don't want to get blood all over him.

And shit, I put a scratch into his silver by his neck because I'm a dumbass. Oh well. You can only see it from above/behind, and mostly only in gun mode which he won't be in much if at all.

Still, wish I weren't so retarded, shit.

The good news is, the cannon comes off easier with a bit of on-off repetition. Bad news is, it rubs the paint off too on the slot. Guessing thats the reason it was so hard to pull off in the first place, paint.

And of course, the finger injury. Seriously Anon's, be careful. That shit stings.

My Despo has some paint scratchs from either transformation or I just didn't notice them before. What color best matches him? I was looking at either some Gundam markers or Testers.

>>5913552
God. What a fat, hairy wuss.

>>5914276

All I know is silver sharpies don't match, because I dabbed a bit on him to see if it would, since my scratch is in an area that probably wouldn't get touched much (if at all). Dunno what silver would match'em.

>>5914292

That is correct.

>>5906536
I thought it was the turbochargers and got really excited for a second.

>>5913320
Despite being a retool I really think anubis suits that mold. Besides he'll be in robot mode 90% of the time anyway.

>>5913177
>>5913030
>>5912569
To me, Jaegertron feels the most like the character he portrays and has the best aesthetic.

I don't really like Death's Head from a design standpoint. He's too "comically 80's metal album cover" for me and that's saying something because I'm normally all about that shit. I also just never liked his color scheme and I just don't think the design works that well for the mold.

For Not-Cyclonus there, he looks enough like Cyclonus to be Cyclonus but is just too different from existing Cyclonus designs for me to like him as Cyclonus and it's not like we don't already have some solid Cyclonus figures to choose from.

Jaegertron just ends up seeming the best to me. I like his color scheme and it's smartly applied to make everything pop in the right places, he has enough Lockdown aesthetics to know that's who he is, he looks like a space car in alt mode (though I still would have preferred an earth car mode with his robot mode design from IDW), and Lockdown isn't actually all that well established of a character so it makes it easier to see Jaegertron as Lockdown. He looks like a younger, pre/mid-war Lockdown who hasn't been at the bounty business for nearly as long but has taken some big enough names to show he is good at what he does. RotF Lockdown looks like Lockdown several thousand years and several thousand bounties down the line after coming to Earth. It's headcannon, yeah, but it's a story that makes Jaegertron even more appealing than he already was to me.


tl;dr: I think Jaegertron is the best of the three.

Any Third Party group making a Master Sword for FM (aside from PE)?

Any Toronto or GTA based anons here? Madhaus actually got some Despotrons in stock. I am so tempted to pick it up for the show on the 18th.

I'd been trying to access their weibo page to see if they are working on it, no such luck.

>>5914906
Isn't Dr. Will dead? It's been a very long time since their last release/announcement.

>>5914919
I don't know, if someone could check we'd know for certain.

Also, I think their last release was that replacement Mixmaster, or that Carly.
