Got a question

I was sanding down part of a transformer to customize it, but I wasn't keeping a good eye on my angle and accidently sanded part of a surface I didn't want to. Is there any way to restore the finish, like a weak solvent?

>>
>>5931887
if you ask me you can redo the finish. go over what you've done with a finer sandpaper, and then spray with a semi gloss. you could probably mix glosscote with dullcote if you want to get it perfect
>>
>>5931887
Also, lightly touch a flame/lighter over it. Like rapidly touching the flame against it can clear away and smooth over the little burrs and white marks. I do it all the time now ever since I learned about it, very helpful.

Then again in a place where people get butt mad when you buy high end products, having low standards must be common. Check RobotKingdom you might still find legit ones for retail. Don't buy the KO even if people say the quality is "almost" the same--almost doesn't mean same. People probably bloated their opinions because they regret spending $10 on KOs instead of paying a bit of an extra to be sure they get the best quality.

>>5933377
It has nothing to do with running around your house/apartment with an action figure like a 5 year old. It just makes no sense to keep a toy in its package unless you're going to resell/scalp it or the box is REALLY nice/artistic (neither of which is true for Viper).

I don't play with my figures at all. I'll occasionally transform a figure or change a pose around to mix up displays, but that's about it.
>>
>>5933386
Good point. Even if I am tempted to run around the house making explosion noises in Rattler mode.

Nah, I have a legit set of black PE parts and a KO black set. I have no idea which is which. The KOs are fine. I've just been buying the knock offs since then.

Hes great, I was afraid of paint rubing on the torso, but really there isn't any risk, don't forget to extend his antenna.

>>5933431

Bought the teal one. Honestly, I think I prefer it, since now he doesn't look like he's in a team with Scourge.

Regardless, he's an extremely nice rendition of Blurr and maybe the best titan master so far...

Did not expect that.

Not the anon you're replying to, but I literally just received a couple of the KO hands/feet today. Haven't gotten home to check them out, but I heard they were of the same quality as the official ones (which I also own).

I bought 2 sets of the black hands and feet. One set for my G2 Bruticus, and another set for the CW Liokaiser that's on its way.

I'll post a few pics if you want when I get home this evening.

Oh, also, here's the link, they got here in about a week (which is pretty good for something coming from China):

Get Powerglide to play around with and see if you still want to open Viper up afterwards.
>>
I feel really good after opening that up. Local Wal Mart had a good number of TR deluxes, but also Galvatron, Sentinel Prime and Motormouth. Debating between Croc and Hardhead if I buy another Transformer - seems like Hardhead has a lot of fans on here, would that be a solid choice?

>>5933464
Will do, thanks

Powerglide as a single Legend is costly. Costly enough that you would be better off getting Superion if you want proper bang for your buck.
>>
>>5933468
Cool stuff

I must have gone through ebay like 10 times looking for KO combiner phalanges, no idea how I missed that seller.

What's the standard color people use for bruticus? Silver?

Of Wave 1, Hardhead and Skullcruncher are the best on the Hasbro side in terms of deco, but Skullcruncher's legs will probably need some Futureshine.

Blurr and Scourge are also good, but their color schemes are all fucked on the Hasbro side.

What the did Megatron even transform into in the films?

I think he was a cybertronian tank in RoTF but other than that I have no fucking clue. Part of what I dislike about Bayformers is how little design elements from their alt modes are used in their vehicle modes.

Cybertronian alt modes have always been somewhat of a free pass to do whatever the fuck you want so I can sort of excuse Megatron, but AoE Optimus is the worst at this. Literally no part of this is a semi truck, it just looks like a red and blue robot that doesn't transform into anything.

It really kinda feels like they're going for a soft reboot referencing the first movie a lot. Which is..interesting, because 4 already felt like a soft reboot.

>>5933921
I kitbashed parts from Scoop onto him, but the hips were a different width compared to Sideways, so the thigh placement had to be at a funky angle. And it feels really unstable when I transform it due to it just being hotglued.

I suppose sculpting/adding styrene on the thighs and using better stuff for bonding the parts.

And painting stuff, of course. I can't find the pics on my phone anymore, but I could take some in a little while if you're interested.

Wait till the official more cheaper Victory Leo comes out. There already have been rumours that a legit MP Victory Leo is coming out and the guy designing it is the guy designing the 3p version.

Again this is just some rumours by people who deal with 3p stuff so I wouldn't really take this as a real for now.
>>
>>5933968
>the guy designing it is designing the 3p version
That's trippy as fuck
>>
>>5933970
It's the same as some of the designers designing the Maketoys Headmasters because Takara doesn't want to do MP Headmasters for a while so those guys to scratch their itch went and rendered their services to making those 3p figures.
>>
>>5933973
That's really cool. Has Hasui done anything related to 3P? He's a great designer.
>>
>>5933981
No clue, but the talk about Hastak designers designing 3p stuff has been going around for a long time now. Most of them are just free lance designers like how we got the deluxe Arcee mold since the guy that did a custom/3p of her was hired to design the legit one, that is why her transformation was close to the 3p Transformation same with how rumours and a picture of a new MP Megatron started circulating when Maketoys was just about to release their Despotron.

>like how we got the deluxe Arcee mold since the guy that did a custom/3p of her was hired to design the legit one, that is why her transformation was close to the 3p Transformation

That custom was from 1998 and Horonori Kobayashi got hired to work at takara the year after. Long before 3rd party was a thing.
>>
>>5934217
Hence why I said custom/3p cause I forgot which the guy did and let's be honest 3 years before the release of the HasTak Arcee we got those 3p ones that is really close to the transformation of the deluxe.
>>
>>5934228
There's a huge difference between a one-off custom from 18 years ago and what 3rd party is now. He did a ton of other stuff in the nearly two decades since including most of the MP line; he wasn't hired just to make an arcee figure. Besides, that Arcee custom circulated a lot since the early days and probably influenced the later 3P stuff.
>>
>>5934216
It's obviously bullshit though.
>>
>>5934240
But that's the point. She started as a custom that when the 3p era started, the people making 3ps probably tried to emulate how her custom looked and tried to fit a transformation to compliment that and HasTak saw the market for her and they did end up giving him the green light to finally do a proper Arcee we have been waiting for almost 30 years.
>>
>>5934252
>She started as a custom that when the 3p era started

1998 as hardly the start of the third party era, man. The closest thing to 3P stuff was some hand crafted accessory kits for Beast Machine toys from Unicron.com. 3P didn't really kick in until 2007 or so; with City commander.
>>
>>5934262
I forgot a punctuation mark there. It should have been "She started as a custom--that when the 3p era started the people..." I put in a comma and I forgot to proof read it. I was trying to emphasize the custom part that when the 3p era kicked off people went back to see what was done and not done in the past and they saw that the only good Arcee was a custom from 1998 and that failed prototype in the 90's that they drew inspiration from it.

This is how I was thinking could have happened: Custom(1998) -> 3p era started (mid 00's) -> people were looking at stuff that were done and need to be done because a big push for the 3p market the need for updated characters and less of a pain in the ass commissions from FrenzyRumble and other customizing divas -> They used that custom as a form of inspiration because that was the only good G1 Arcee that was not even transformable -> made the 3p versions of her -> Hastak sees the market and green lights a proper 1st party Arcee just 30 years late.(Current)

It was my fault for not skipping though some details of how I imagined it to be. I could be totally wrong but we would need some real insider info about it and I would need to talk to people who actually knows people in the 3p industry.

AoE went to a much different look. This seems to be going back to the first movie's whole look. Even the third movie had some weird race car mods. The only thing that really remains from aoE is the mask.

Speaking of it being 10 years; from a cultural standpoint its interesting funny to look at this franchise and see the changes in movies and automobile design that have happened since then. The TF1 Autobots where almost all huge, blocky gas guzzlers from the height of the Hummer. The '07 camaro was supposed to be a nostalgic return to the muscle car era. Now they'll all going for a sleek, European look.

>>looks too much like a Gundam

I hate how ignorant TF collectors are to design. Starsaber isn't much different from the non-car robot diaclone figures from the same line that birthed the TF line. The TF stuff was designed the same way as the others; just with vehicle parts hanging off them.

I take it you are not familiar with Brave. Victory is basically Proto-Brave, some say the whole Proto-Brave design influence could go as far back as Headmasters. Also, Optimus is basically a truck themed gundam in a red sweater. His head is much more gundam than SS.

Him being expensive, not having good ankle tilts on an MP, and not actually caring about him are valid complaints tho.
>>
>>5934842
What am I looking at here? What's that supposed to look like? A Transformer or Starsaber? It honestly doesn't look much like either. What Transformers were as Diaclones and what they evolved into for the cartoon are two very different things.

The thing about Transformers is they need the car parts hanging off of them. I can't speak for most other fans, but I know that I like being able to tell that a robot can transform into something. You don't get that at all from Star Saber. He just looks like a big, Japanese robot. With the most stereotypical Gundam color scheme you've ever seen.

Someone always gets triggered whenever Star Saber gets compared to a Gundam, but it really boils down to one simple thing: They all look like Japanese robots, but Star Saber looks like a Japanese robot with no discernable alt mode. What's a popular kind of Japanese robot that doesn't transform? Gundam.

>>5934850
Maybe if he looked cooler, I'd be able to get over not knowing him. After all, I didn't know Loudpedal because he never actually existed, but he looked cool as fuck, so I bought him.

Everything else you've typed is you just trying to justify things that don't matter to me. At the end of the day, his aesthetic is simply NOT Transformers. You can blather on about how it transitioned into Brave or Macross or whatever crazy Jap robot stuff you like, and that's great, but I don't care. Most Transformers fans don't.
>>
>>5934860
>I can't speak for most other fans, but I know that I like being able to tell that a robot can transform into something.

If you're cool with Shockwave or some of the movie/post movie stuff like Springer, that's kinda hypocritical. Even fort Max is just a giant generic block robot.

The cartoon severely downplayed that aesthetic, though. You wouldn't be able to tell what Megatron turns into based on the cartoon design.
>>
>>5934866
Well, Shockwave is so different overall, he really doesn't have the same aesthetic, with or without alt. mode parts showing. He looks more like a 50s scifi robot than a generic piloted mech. And quite honestly, I never cared for G1 Springer or Fort Max for those very reasons.

For starters, Blaster is a Leader class. Voyager Galvatron has less to work with, although his preliminary helmet design would have looked better than what we got.

Shit, it even looks like it works like blasters, with the helmet being attached to the TM port so it wouldn't cause any articulation problems.

Summary of Legends Rewind and a fuckload of Nightbeats:

Rewind introduces himself to an unseen figure, explaining that he's recently upgraded into a new body and seeks to record all the knowledge in the world, his most recent obsession being the mysteries surrounding the Masterforce system. He begins to tell a story...

It begins with Rewind providing the Autobot Axalon Trading Company with blueprints for Master-Braces that anyone can use to become a Headmaster, unlike the original braces which could only be used by certain chosen children. It's not long before all Axalon employees are wearing mass-produced braces, with Rattrap excitedly showing off his Headmaster form to Hardhead and Chromedome and displaying its power by tossing Hardhead across the room. Wanting to try out transtectors, the Headmasters proceed to swarm over Blurr, removing his head from his body and stealing it.

The Headmasters then make their way to Decepticon Tera-Kura Co., mobbing the company leadership and demanding they build them transtectors.
>>
>>5934993
Is there any chance that we'll get a remold without a shitty mask gimmick? People were talking Straxus and Bludgeon when Galvatron was first released, but so far we haven't heard of any reusage.
>>
>>5934905
Shoulda looked up a guide before doing so and follow it step by step.

If its not manhandling its failed repair attempts that ruin toys

>>5935007
They're joined by Rewind, who blows away the Decepticons with his tank mode and has the Headmasters steal their bodies: having taken Blaster's advice to follow his dreams to heart, he seeks to acquire rare combination data by having the mass-produced Headmasters combine with bodies. When Rattrap joins with the Galvatron body, however, Tarantulas activates its brainwashing mask, causing him to attack Rewind. Fortunately, the Master-Braces choose that moment to stop working, reverting Rattrap and the other Headmasters to their normal bodies. Rewind hides away in his device mode during the chaos, contemplating that this data suggests that only special children can control the braces after all.

Rewind finishes telling the story, revealing the mysterious figure to be Nightbeat, professional detective and wielder of the prototype Master-Braces that the mass-produced version was based on. With Rewind's help, Nightbeat sets out to solve the remaining mysteries.


Things to note:

-There's an actual Nightbeat, he's not just a generic/MP Headmaster
-The Nightbeats are oddly familiar

Legends Wheeliel, and Goshooter:

At a soccer match, Wheelie is causing mischief by flipping the skirts of the cheerleaders, earning the scorn of Shūta Gō who wants him to watch him play. Wheelie retorts that soccer is boring compared to the excitement of a real fight, but their argument is cut short when an explosion heralds the appearance of the Galvatron transtector, moving on its own even as Megatron's head mode lies helpless at its feet! Galvatron tells Megatron that he no longer needs a head, and all Megatron is now good for is being a soccer ball.

With soccer and fighting suddenly having become one, Shūta transforms into his Goshooter Headmaster form and races into battle with Wheelie, who brags that as a survivalist he can make it through any crisis. Galvatron kicks Megatron at them, but Goshooter intercepts the shot with his own kick and has Wheelie kick him in head mode, allowing him to pull off his Headball Vulcan Attack by unloading his head mode guns straight at Galvatron. The Galvatron transtector is defeated, revealing that Tarantulas was inside it, and he scurries away with the data gathered from the fight. With the understanding that soccer skills can be useful too, Wheelie develops an interest in the sport and gets along better with Shūta... except for when he's off harassing the cheerleaders by kicking balls at them.

I figured by now there'd at least be a review or something, even if it was in moon runes. All we have so far is a bunch of pictures of the in hand figure on Seibertron.

I just really wanted to know if Sky Lynx's torso mode hips were fixed.

I have an honest question for all of you.

Why is a voyager with minimal hollow sections and a dedicated mold inferior to a deluxe that was remolded from another toy with hollow sections and the only real saving grace is the new one matches the new crew?

I'm serious, I was tempted to track that one down but I wanted a cohesive set of deluxes, but how is liking the old one a bad thing, what was wrong with the mold that I'm not aware of?

Perhaps this way people who weren't here then lik me myself won't make the same mistakes

>>5934818
>Bruticus and Sky Lynx waves of Combiner Wars, but those came out around November/December.
No they didn't.
>>
>>5935021
Only actual reasons I can think of are that the deluxe has waist and wrist swivel, and is available in g1 colours?

Not him, but it's a combination of:

-Better articulation
-Works with the other TR figures

The old one looks good, but lacks articulation in a few areas, and his Headmaster isn't compatible with anything. The TR version still has a few faults, like the vehicle mode barely resembling any vehicle Brainstorm turned into, and his signature guns being attached to the nosecone (though, most of the new Headmasters lose a signature gun, or get guns that look nothing like their old one's).

New face, lighter white, inner soft plastic mouth is now transparent red, with the teeth painted silver, and some of the painted green sections on the Hasbro version aren't painted in the Takara version. The green and pink look almost exactly the same.

He also comes with the dino/bird vehicle, which looks much nicer than the one's Hasbro released so far.

The two Brainstorms fill completely different roles. The voyager is the IDW design, the deluxe is more 80's based. I also have Classics and Generations Jetfire, because the former was his design in Stormbringer.

I'm guessing they've bought into the mentality that everything newer is better than everything older. That's true for many things, but Transformers isn't linear.

Also for those wondering why Highbrow's chest plate thingy flips out, it's to give him more stability in heli mode.
>>
>>5935264
The fact that his chest flips clear around makes me wonder if he wasn't originally designed as a headmaster. Really, several of the figures make me wonder that.

Or maybe it's pretooling for non headmaster characters to use the same mold.

Highbrow is just weird. He's a retool of Scourge (or Scourge is his pre-tool, depending how you want to look at it), and even has swappable parts with Scourge, but they're very different in terms of looks and Highbrow has stuff like the chest plate flip.
