I would put up release dates but it would be biased since "superior" takara is known but "inferior" hasbro just comes out when it feels like, certainly brightens your day walking into your local store seeing pegs upon pegs of BLUE on sale, it makes finding that one hardhead feel like hunting for buried treasure, unless you're on wave 2 you lucky sob

There is a fair way of why hasbro seems "cheaper", and they're smart to use existing media like IDW to explain this (since TR blurr matches his IDW colors).

Hasbro needs to pump these toys around the world and make them in greater numbers, and since blurr is all blue anyway they saw no need to use complicated color apps to decorate him since the intended audience (children) would rub it off sooner than later, where's takara caters for both kids and adults, since the perceived notion is the Japanese are more careful with their toys rather than their western counterparts, the fact they have a smaller population would also allow them to aim more funds into their paint apps.

Get takara if you must, but if it weren't for companies that ship abroad we'd never get "intended" Japanese versions, we can't complain about QC anyway, that's what the masterpiece is for, I just wish hasbro would release those more often and in higher numbers with customer purchase limits

I wasn't really baiting, I really do think hasbro toys have a place in our lives, I mean we're all supposed to be over 18 here and hasbro versions are intended for kids, they won't be worried about paint apps like some of us are.

Effort is listing all the release dates for upcoming toys, and its not really effort if you enjoy what you do and in a way we are special snowflakes, what other toys have full articulation and transformations as their main gimmick that is sold all over the world and not limited to some over priced Japanese line or model kit?

Also may I ask, how is copying the other generals making us a special snowflake, we WERE a special snowflake because we didn't have any "general information", I'm honestly curious

I can't help but appreciate what hasbro has to endure, they honestly make good fun desk toys, I can throw one in my work bag and not worry about the paint getting rubbed off on blurr, although I admit I was tempted by the upcoming hotrod since I really like him as a character, but I worry about the flame job on the hood coming off, wonder if a ziplock bag my protect him, or maybe leave him at home while the wife is out on Friday nights, only time me and my son can spend quality time playing transformers together since I'm working every other day

Speaking of scales, have there been any good scale comparisons of MP Optimus Primal and Cheetor?

>>
>>5927279
>doesn't mean anything
It means that primal is barely taller than a voyager which means cheetor will be barely taller than a deluxe.

It's stupid that they didn't make them bigger considering they aren't even going by the scale of them compared to the G1 guys.
>>
>>5927290
No. As in they have vehicle alt modes and the dino theme comes in to play in bot mode. Hence why I said like in RID2015

>>
>>5927291
I think Voyager/Deluxe size is an alright size range for BW MPs.

They can't use a cartoon scale because they're like ants to G1 robots and toy scales would just come off as random. I think just picking an arbitrary size for Primal and working from there is the best course of action they can take.
>>
>>5927283
>We don't need to be catered to
People are still ask, even spoon feed, I don't like the later either but it gives us a quicker response rather than telling europeans americans etc where to buy their stuff online

>We aren't fancy smancy Japanese imports that are hard to get
We aren't, but the toys can be, especially older releases or for the poor anons in Scandinavia or whatever waiting for what may not even come.

I'll give you one thing though, you expect alot from the fandom, I never seen anyone give that much credit.

In that case, well you'll see my OP's around, I expect no one else to copy me, and I'm not here that often anyway, I'll see you in another 6 months if you guys are quick enough, I'm more surprised its just one entitled person telling me we're supposedly smarter than the other generals and not 7-8

But really, its not hurting anyone, what information I posted isn't wrong or misleading, if anything it sounds like you feel insulted someone is breaking things down so even newbies or returning collectors can catch up again, but I'll take your word for it, until next time I get get bored
>>
>>5927301
They should have made prime leader size. I think that's fair. Just work their way down from there. If they make a rattrap it might end up like MP bee.

It's funny, because the first time I walked into my local TRU, I wasn't expecting to find anything because we never get shit on time, and all I found was a single Hardhead, hanging amidst a slew of CW and RiD shelfwarmers. I wasn't even planning to buy him, but seeing him was a sign, and a good one, too. He's one of my favorite retail purchases in years.

The hasbro sticker sets are a massive improvement, they even included the symbol for the space under the windscreen chest.

In hand the mold is solid, and the sparkly blue plastic works if you're into that sorta thing, its diehards and those who are used to higher end figures (especially from the past like pic related even though its not that far higher end) that craze more from what should be dollar store figures.

Get what you like and cherish it, just don't be a dick and spout on how your one is better than the other, some see the value, custom potential and the simple engineering, others want a bit more, and willing to pay more for it, for each their own

Grand Galvatron is one of my absolute favorites. You get a retool of the best torso, Rook in sexy silver, and a Ghost Starscream, though the clear plastic is a fair detractor for some.

Also UW Computicon. Sexy colors and 4 of the five molds are absolute joys. Between those two, you'll have all the Combiner molds worth owning, save a Dead-end.

Anything up with UW Bruticus or does the CW version just look better?
>>
>>5927662

CW version has better colors and better overall QC for Bruticus.

UW Computron is just plain better than CW, period.

I'd also recommend UW Superion, because it's Superion.
>>
>>5927662
UW Blastoff can't keep his shins together for arm mode, he also looks a bit out of place with the team, but has a g1 accurate altmode and face, CW Blastoff is a better arm but its a jet repaint. other than that the combiners are pretty much the same, just choose whatever deco you like best.
>>
>>5927662
The UW Bruticus suffers from a few QC issues. Also, Blastoff (AKA Fatoff) doesn't look as great as people were hoping, and his coloring is way off. Everything else is up for debate though. Some people think CW's colors look better, some people think UW's colors looks better. It's completely up to you.

Personally, I like the CW version because I don't like the way UW Blastoff looks (I have nothing against the mold, I have UW Strafe and think he's an awesome figure), I like CW Onslaught, Brawl, and Swindle's colors better, and I'm indifferent towards Vortex having 4 blades vs. 2. My only real gripe with the CW Bruticus set is the fact that Hasbro didn't even bother to throw a faceplate on Blastoff. I get that they were too cheap to make another mold for him, and that a plan logically makes more sense than a space shuttle, but fuck, they could have at least used the Firefly mold if all they were going to do was throw on a new coat of paint.

I was looking at both versions and while overall I like the CW deco more, UW blastoff having a unique mold appealed to me a bit more.
But if UW blastoff is crap than I might as well stay away from UW Bruticus.

It seems like Bruticus, Computron and Superion are winners here for me then. Grand Galvatron is neat but yeah ghost Starscream doesn't do quite as much for me.

If you just want it for Blast Off you're better off waiting if Hasbro will do a proper shuttle version from that extra line that they release every May like Slingshot,Wildrider, and Groove.

I just got one because like I said in the other thread a buddy just offered to me for a $100 CAD and a couple extra figs that I got from doing trades here and there. IF I had to pay $200 on that I wouldn't have bothered since I don't even like Bruticus and originally had no intention of even getting the CW.

Summary of UW Chapter 3: Megatronia (this was posted on the wiki)

Trickdiamond gathers Lunaclub and Moonheart to declare that the time has come to rescue their sealed-away empress, Megaempress. She's irked that they're doing their nefarious plotting in Lunaclub's room, filled as it is with posters and merchandise of Starscream, and Lunaclub protests that it's just because her big sister Moonheart refused to lend them hers. The group's plan is to make their way into Shockwave's base and awaken their leader, as the seal was undone when Cybertron exploded. Moonheart is suspicious of Trickdiamond's presence, seeing as she only cares about money, but Trickdiamond assures her that she too wants to experience Megaempress's greatness. The three fight their way past Shockwave's Sentinels and locate Megaempress, slumbering together with her most loyal soldier, Flowspade. On being awakened, Megaempress requests that they update her on the current state of the Decepticons.

In the year 2021, Megaempress leads her 4 Guards to the battle between Lynxmaster and Grand Galvatron, using her fusion railgun to disassemble the Autobot combiner. Ironhide and Prowl recognize her as the Decepticon empress who once dominated Megatron himself and came close to taking control of the Decepticons before Shockwave sealed her away. Faced with the empress's power, Grand Galvatron's limb components panic and make a run for it, leaving Galvatron and Cyclonus alone with her. Having learned that Galvatron is Megatron, she tells her distressed "husband" that she's back to love him until the end, and that this time, Cybertron will be hers.
>>
>>5927801
Meanwhile, Lunaclub chases down and latches onto her own object of affection, Starscream, wanting to take over the Decepticons alongside him or better yet, be possessed by him. Starscream is uninterested, refusing her with the arguments that there can only be one leader and that he can't possess other bodies in his current half-ghost form, which prompts the scorned Lunaclub to choke him. Moonheart is surrounded by the Autobot Disaster Relief Team, who she diagnoses as suffering from heightened electro-adrenalin levels. Her treatment, a blast of healing pheromones, leaves them weak-kneed, disoriented and happy to follow Moonheart's command to reveal their combiner joints. She proceeds to remove the parts with her sword, as using the "joint energon" within them will allow the 4 Guards to combine with Megaempress. Flowspade corners the terrified Breakdown and Roller and subjects them to her "Transplay" ninja art, forcibly transforming them into giant knuckle weapons that she uses to battle the Autobots. Trickdiamond merely watches from the sidelines, having no interest in fighting for Megaempress's sake and knowing her strength doesn't lie in fighting anyway, but in manipulation. She turns to Thrust, responsible for breaking her out of jail in exchange for her help in overthrowing Galvatron, and threatens to reveal his betrayal to Galvatron unless he lets her talk to Unicron.

>>
>>5927803
Galvatron tries to defy Megaempress, who playfully responds that he can't resist her "secret power": the ability to captivate the heart of any Transformer. As she threatens to drain Galvatron's energy with a kiss, she's interrupted by the arrival of Optimus Prime, resurrected at last! She easily knocks him down with her crane, reminding him as well of her special ability and offering him the position of her second husband, but Prime is able to fight her brainwashing allure by stabbing himself with Megaempress's weapon and shouting the name of his true love, Elita One. Recognizing Megaempress as an even greater threat than Galvatron, Optimus Prime unveils his new combiner form, Optimus Maximus, granted to him by the Oracle. In response, the 4 Guards come to their leader's aid and combine with her into Megatronia, who attacks Prime while expressing Megaempress's desire to make all men her servants and create a Cybertron dominated by women. As the battle rages, Optimus Prime remembers what the Oracle has told him: his frequent deaths and resurrections have taken their toll, and even Vector Sigma was only able to grant him seven days worth of life.

Meanwhile in space, Unicron has struck a deal with Trickdiamond and prepares to send his "strongest soldiers" her way...

As some people pointed out, some of the silhouettes resemble Bruticus components with new weapons, so it might be Ruinatino/Baldigus.

Storywise, it'd be weird if Leokaiser shows up since Victory happens almost immediately after Masterforce, so him serving Unicron wouldn't make sense.
>>
>>5927835
>him serving Unicron wouldn't make sense.
Seriously, does ANYthing about this make a lick of sense? Look at Galvatronus, he's taken bots from like 3 different continuities to make his limbs. At this point, they could just pull something out their ass about Unicron enlisting an alternate universe Liokaiser or something.

Trolling goes both ways. Just because he baited and I bit, that doesn't mean I can't pull him into the water with me and drown him. When I did bite those 2 threads ago I bit hard. Sometimes you just have to confront a shitposter because that is one thing they can't handle, people actually calling their bullshit out. It shouldn't be always troll or be trolled it can be a troll and a person who calls him out for it without being an SJW about it.

>>5927694
Ok tried him as a leg and he doesn't look too shabby but him being not pegging at all if I build Bruticus that piece would probably keep un-tabbing from the weight. I will have to floor polish the peg and holes to see if it would get tighter.

This page references something from Kiss Players(the one with the Sparkbots, and the hilarious death of all the Quintessons in Japanese fiction). Essentially, the fate of Brave Maximus from RID (which is part of G1 fiction in Japan, since all the characters from it are time travelers save the Destrongers), which is studied and used for the creation of Battleship Maximus, and the Headmaster process.

Out of how many of those 50 people do actually own it and how many is trolling and how many are sheepishly repeating what the trolls are saying?

I did say Fat off is lacking for the most part but that is not a representation of the whole set. 3/5 figures are really good and even if I say I dislike the Brawl mold for the waist, over all he should have been a great figure as well despite that gaping flaw.

All of these people are speaking from a firsthand account and are giving information that wouldn't be known unless you owned the figure.

Or here:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/uw-07-unite-warriors-bruticus.1060573/

Like I said, mixed bag of reactions and that mileage may vary since this is still a mass produced item. Oh and does it have the same problem as the Hasbro ones? I only got to play those a couple of times individually because of a buddy of mine has it so after getting the UW, this is the first time I actually looked into one deeply.

Not him, but owning both sets, the only issue I had with the UW version was an issue I also had with the CW version (Onslaught's floppy left arm). UW Brawl, Swindle, and Vortex were all better than their CW versions.

>>5928735
And what about the negative reactions? You're just ignoring those?

Anything that's bad is bound to have a "mixed reaction" unless it's downright god awful like X-Transbots Ollie or Sonicron or something. Even fucking Omnigonix had a "mixed reaction" thanks to apologists and sunk cost, and that's generally considered to be the absolute worst 3P figure of all time.

I had minor issues with my CW, mainly the Onslaught thigh lock, Vortex's port cracking, and Brawl's shoulders being a bit loose. All easily fixed save Vortex, and that's a widespread issue. And I considered those 3 combined to be bad issues that shouldn't exist.

Versus all the stuff you read in that thread.

Oh, and this might not be the case where you're at, but try finding a Walgreens that also doubles as a warehouse for other Walgreens.

>>5928759
I went to town with mine:

-Fixed his waist
-Floor polish for the head, hips, and pegs (to unite the legs

He was great after that.

I also want to mention this since I'm not sure if this was a mistake or not, but my UW Vortex had the HFG port shaved inside, which prevented the stress the other chopper molds got.
>>
>>5928770
>And what about the negative reactions? You're just ignoring those?

I never said I ignore those, I try to be unbiased as much as I can that's why I weight in the pros and cons of things before even getting into them. If after reading all the pros and cons and you still go into it, you are taking a risk now and risk is just part of life. You cannot just say no ALL the time when there is something negative about it. You will have to compromise and find the middle ground to where you would be happy. If you don't want to buy the figure because of the cons then good for you--you saved money. BUT and here's a big one, if you still decide to buy that after all the bad things listed, you should accept that you are taking a risk getting it. Also I only got mine due to that reason I stated in my previous post and I was surprised that I actually enjoy it despite the known QC issues. Having options is a good thing though. I'm thinking of getting Jet Blast Off as well just so I got a variety of the character and that I could get easily for $10 at toyshows.

>>5928772

Cons:

Yeah and after that if you still buy it then you have already considered it and went for a compromise knowing all the bad parts to it. It's like being in a relationship with somebody, you simply can't abandon them the moment you see something you dislike about them. You can help fix it or accept it as a part of them but it's a bit easier with toys because you can just say no to buying it and let somebody who wants to take the risk do it. You don't have to go up to their face and tell them not to buy it because it is their money and them buying it wont affect you as a person in any form.

I understand your point of it having more cons to pros but you cannot simply dictate what people should want or not want. That is just being a control freak borderline fascist mentality. What may be a no to you is a yes to them.

At the end of the day it is the person's last decision and not yours to make and if it doesn't harm anybody then let them go at it.

Having a freedom to choose goes both ways. You were free to choose that you didn't want it so you can't be a hypocrite and tell them what they're choosing is wrong and enforce your will on to them.

Well if you want to feel better calling me a tard then whatever floats your boat because you already decided that I am an illiterate retard so the window for an actual conversation has ended.

>b): You still behave like a smug know-it-all when going off on a tangent about opinions when I explicitly stated that the post referred to "me", and no one else.

I am not acting like a smug know it all because for one I am just going with what you were telling me. I addressed your replies properly. You said "me" and I did respond to your "me" but I also responded to that tone of how you wrote the reply because you make it seem that even if it was explicitly a "me" situation, others shouldn't buy the same item as well. And if I did go off on a wrong tangent, you could have corrected me without being a big asshole about it.

>You need to fuck off back to TFW2005 and stay there

I guess I need to make an account there because people there are actually more reasonable the more and more I read threads there. I guess that's why some of the anons here have already left these generals and just went to that site instead.

Holy shit, you'd swear that optimus was made for TR to start with with that kind of set up.

I got a question about MP car bots.

I know that Bumblebee is easy to transform, but is the Prowl mould relatively easier to transform than the Sideswipe and Wheeljack moulds? How about Tracks?

I also heard that MP-10 Optimus is considered to be easy to transform, but how do the car bots compare?

The Seekers seem to be the most annoying.

TFW is full of people who'd fit right in here, so I don't know where the fuck you're getting these buzzwords from.
>>
>>5929032
lol no, one use of the word "nigger" and they'll all be running back to their shitty site
>>
>>5929034
It's almost as if the only difference is usernames and site admins and both sites are otherwise equally terrible.
>>
>>5929043
Except the fact that usernames play a major part in the dynamics and community of the site. And while /tfg/ is bad we haven't reached TFW tier yet
>>
>>5929052
/tfg/ reached it and surpassed it by being on 4chan and having the audience that entails
That's the default state of everything on this site and a major part of 4chan's atmosphere is self-awareness of that fact.

By frequenting a general here you submit to being one of the rocks in rock bottom.
>>
>>5929057
Straight outta TFW eh?
>>
>>5929062
Nah, just find it funny you think this place has standards.
>>
>>5929063
Yes, this place is horrible. It's full of shitty bait, political arguments and forced memes.

No, we haven't reached the same tier of garbage as TFW with their attention whores and site drama, or Allspark with their population of 100% trannies and SJWs.
>>
>>5929065
I don't think i've seen someone so deep in denial.

The two Walgreens in my area have a total of two one-step Fractures, that's it. Hard to feel confident about them getting Brainstorm. On the other hand I do live next to a Walgreens Distributions Center. Wonder if that means anything.

It means you need to slip someone $50 to make sure a box falls off the truck and get yourself a case of'em to scalp on eBay.

Dunno if it'll work for sure. It's probably bigger than Minimus Ambus.

>>5929065
Just because this place has a little less turd doesn't mean it is not a turd, as that other anon who likes to use feces as an analogy would say.
>>
>>5929135
Exactly my point. A turd's a turd, except that we're dogshit and they're cow diarrhea.

Well the sounds are definitely better on the Takara one than the regular release. Now the sounds doesn't feel like it was ripped of G2 Megatron and RID 2001 Optimus prime.

TAV21, mold was only used in Japan. It's more fun over form with loads of 5mm weapons and ports.

There's also TAV-33, a retool into his upgraded look.
