Why a new thread when the old one is not at the limit yet? Is that even allowed?

>>5955256
Honestly the crappy beast mode articulation would be much more forgivable if those are elephant legs rather than feline limbs.

You don't expect an elephant to do much besides standing upright, but with a lion, you kinda wish it could make some different stances.

You seem to be new, so I'll help.

The post limit is at 300 in which the old thread will start sinking, new post won't bump it up, I could of waited considering longer how slow it is but I thought it was halfway down the catalog, it was a line or 2 higher, I also had a long day and all these new announcements have me in a buzz along with my own delirium.

Thoughts on blackshadow being the pre-tool for overlord and hopefully thunderwing?

I still honestly think the generations one does quite well, but he does seem quite nice this new version so I'll give him a look.

I just hope overlord doesn't carry too much, infact I'm confused as to why not Overlord first considering the weight of his presence in idw compared to blackshadow and how (quite clearly) different they look, while we more experienced fans know he's a pretool he isn't going to be serving as a good "test case" for those not in the know, depending on the tooling they might treat blackshadow as a literal who, but oh well.

I would buy this 100% for a thunderwing from hasbro, waiting on takara's overlord (I won't be collecting by the time an mp is made so I'm better off seeing their madness) but I guess another timely sale will decide if I get blackshadow like how I got my hasbro blaster

>>5955283
i guessing they want to test the water with black shadow

>>5955283

The deluxe mold had that annoying problem of the shoulder armor colliding with the wings in robot mode.

>>5955283

Y'know, apart from the whole Duocon thing, Black Shadow ("Ominus"? Seriously?) looks nothing like Overlord.

So I had a look in the previous thread in regards to Aaron Archer and John Warden's design approaches with g1 aesthetics.

As much as a geewunner I am I actually liked the classics/universe aesthetic, while some went in odd directions like perceptor (would a building telescope be too retarded an idea?) others came out pretty well even though some got cut short (like universe galvatron, I still like the mold, yes its shit but the transformation doesn't bother me since all the joints on mine pop off so I just parts form that shitty thing), currently these 2 right here were my holy grails and I'm glad to have them.

It just sucks finding the henkei optimus was overly expensive and the platinum 2 pack contained a hideous megatron, thankfully the evolution 2 pack BRAND NEW was being sold at half the current price of the platinum (which is on sale mind you, so its closer to 1/3 rrp here), I can take a redeco of a figure I already know and like over having a hideously clear red megatron.

I guess I just like the fact most of the toys back then functioned moderately well (not perfect, enough for a kid to enjoy, a nightmare for photographers), looked like their g1 counterparts without just being straight up, but rather modernized, and not just adding articulation to a brick (pmop, sixshot, not that I don't like them just saying...) but giving them a new somewhat fitting skin.

To some, of course.

Wasn't there some issue with the CW Sky Lynx mold?

>>5955296
Same, the main alterations are going into this plane mode. There's a lot that could change there.

>>5955284
Well considering how they work their retools and pretools these days its gonna come eventually.

>>5955287
Ah, just like the old deluxe seekers and their arms, I don't tend to "play" with my figures much and once in a pose they hold their stance for a week.

>>5955289
They don't, which is what I was getting at.

Infact thinking about it more worries me, how...much retooling will he get, I imagine the tank will look much the same, the chest could be swapped out, the helmet on blackshadow already kinda looks like overlords minus the horns, the arms and shoulders as well as jetpack kibble kinda worry me, more so the shoulders.

I guess what I would really like is if they add chest weapons that flip out, wonder if takara will pull a super ginrai

>>5955296
Most likely yes, not a fan of the red thing on the barrel though, wonder why its there?

>>5955297
Wasn't it the horns on one guy being fused or something?

Because otherwise in comparison with blackshadow's modes he'll look great unless he's just a head only retool without the horns

>>5955283
> why not Overlord first

They've been doing this for the entire line. Do the (less popular) remold/repaint first before getting the one people want the most out. It's a clever trick too, because this way, remolds/repaints that normally don't sell now DO because people are impatient and just want a version of the toy already.

I do wish they'd at least have shown Overlord off, though. I don't care if Skyshadow is released first, but I really want to know what the big guy will look like.

Are there any good, reasonably affordable Voyager-Ultra scale Nemesis Primes out there? I don't mind what style or altmode he has, I just want a good Nemesis that isn't ludicrously expensive.

I actually considered RID Scourge but that thing is like £70 in good condition and is kinda dated. Universe Nemesis Prime looks awesome but is pretty costly (at least here in the UK).

At this point I might as well go down the custom route and get a Fireburst Optimus Prime to repaint; I have the original mold and quite dig it, and he'd actually not need that much repainting to look evil seeing as he's mostly black anyway.

>>5955307
Most black optimus repaints can be expensive, tell me, what about the rid2015 mold?

The tav nemesis prime is nifty, and the recently released power surge version is about the same, the only problem is they aren't voyager.

I'm fairly certain every voyager sized nemmy is an exclusive of some sort, minimum 7000yen from mandarake

I think that the remold changes will actually be really drastic. I mean, compare Skyshadow's jet mode to Overlord's toy and the comic design, or even how his nosecone doesn't fit the shape of the sled-shield-seat-thing. The wings and tailfin will go poof, we will have a new nose for the jet, the arms will be completely different to turn into the turbines, and the new wings will be on the arms. I will be really surprised if that isn't how it goes down.

I've seen, and premium collectables is considering them (they're asking people on facebook since the manager is up in arms about them).

But those 2 list that stuff before the major japanese dealers start putting them up early, kinda fuming about legends astrotrain, the hlj discount along with my bulk shipping works out slightly better than buying him and super ginrai just for free shipping, so yeah I'm kinda hoping they're normal releases

I could be wrong and they're using the voyager laser prime head though even if I don't see it properly

>>5955401
>Why was he a Titan Master?
Its a whole toyline gimmick, cannot be avoided.
>He'd be great if he were just a normal Transformer.
He's already just fine apart from lack of options for posing his dildo cannon and the look of the head
>And if he has to be then why the stupid fucking mask thing?
Because making the head galvatron accurate would make it too large to fit into the titan master cockpits, it also adds size to a standardized headshape.
>will we at least get a non Titan Master version later?
Wait for a masterpiece like I am, I have both generations and this, I will now wait until they release a leader.

Honestly if the face was more flush with the mask and the hasbro face painted it would of been better

Not the guy you're responding to, but I got my Lio Kaiser earlier this week and have no complaints with Dezsaurus' stability. His ratchets are really tight. I didn't bother with the Sky Lynx figure because of the shitty gestalt thigh ratchets everyone was talking about. But with Dezsaurus, Hasbro apparently fixed the issue.

My only real complaints are how loose the joints are for the limb bots. Hellbat especially has loose elbows, hips and knees to the point where I have to be REALLY careful how I pose him or he'll collapse under his own weight. The other limb bots aren't THAT loose though. Dezsaurus is all around tight, aside from his back "feet" or whatever they are.

The combined mode really shines for this guy though, and I actually find myself REALLY liking the Drillhorn remolded tank mold (I bought UW Computron instead of CW Computron, so this is my first experience with Hasbro's drilltank). Honestly, I think Hasbro's drill tank works better for Drillhorn as opposed to the UW Nosecone mold, but that's just me.

Yea, as loose as the limb figures' elbows, knees, and hips are, both Brawl molds have EXTREMELY tight locking waists. I have CW Brawl and the G2 repaint, and both of their waists are so so at best. But Drillhorn and Ironbison both lock in and don't come loose unless you violently shake them.

>>5955524
Haven't heard anything about it. The PE add-ons that I have on my Lio Kaiser are the KO ones though, since that style of foot/hand hasn't been done in black officially yet.

Also, going to add that despite the fact that the joints are loose, it IS possible to get the limb bots into decent looking poses while holding weapons (well, except Hellbat. Mine's left elbow is basically useless).

Do you like tanks?

Just got Takara Legends Blaster - awesome figure, terrible QC. His left arm swivel is extremely loose along with his right ankle tilt. His legs also never line up symmetrical so he is tilting and falling whenever I try to pose him neutrally. He's a gorgeous figure and has the perfect look, but these tolerance issues are disappointing, had the same problems with my UW Computron. Luckily Legends Blurr didn't have any issues.

Seconded. The seeker mold is easily the best, fucking adorable in both modes. After I got him, I carried him around in my pocket for like a week. Trueno Jazz is my second fav, just because of all his paint apps. He's like a chibi-MP.

>>5955682
Not since Beast Wars, fortunately

>>5955682
Gold Plastic Syndrome is a bit of a long-term issue. Whether or not G2 Quickslinger will survive won't be certain until after a few years.

>>5955682
Well in the literal sense yeah they can still achieve metal effects on plastic by adding additives that greatly reduce the structural longevity of plastic.

But in the modern toy sense, no not really any toy maker worth their salt knows that various additives or colors can significantly weaken the plastic.

It can still happen though and not just for gold or metallic effects. I remember Bionicles used a shade of lime green for parts in one of their lines that basically explodes if you look at it nowadays

>>5955283

It's fine but I might just stick with the Generations one from 2011.

don't care about scale really.

>>5955584
probably not, because that robot wasnt meant to be sentinel prime, he was just retconned as sentinel recently via ask vector prime

>>5955685
>>5955694
Hm. Cuz I saw that new RiD Scorponok in stores, but I also noticed his head (among other parts) have that shiny, GPS-esque gloss to it.

>>5955682
>>5955685
actually the latest toys that suffered from GPS were protoform starscream, armada leader prime, and universe 2008 repugnus, so it still maybe a thing. maybe we can only find out a few years later.

Must not be widespread. Mine is still whole last I checked. Hadn't even heard anything about him having issues.

>>5955733
It's not really widespread and only really affects typical fracture points for any plastic like a few hinge joints.

If don't roughhouse him he won't break.

>>5955616
>>5955617
A lot of joint tolerance issues. Just very weak and loose in a lot of places or incredibly tight to the point of stressing the plastic. Strafe and Afterburner have no issues. Nosecone feels like hes going to snap apart from stress with how tight his joints are. Lightspeed is floppy and Scattershot just doesn't lock into place anywhere he's supposed to. In combined mode though all the issues are ignorable though. Only the chest splitting apart is a problem.

>>5955704
>armada leader prime

Not really, it has gold plastic but I have never seen any have GPS and I usually see them beaten up hard on sale during toy shows.

>>5955755
My only issue with UW Compy that I've had so far is Strafe's feet coming apart somewhat easily in combiner mode but it isn't much of an issue.

His QC seems to be a total luck of the draw

Pull up a pic of IDW Overlord too. They're definitely gonna go for a bit of his design elements.

>>5955804
Shoulders, chest, and jet nose are the things they'll most likely remold. They could probably get away with the same chest, but that's a very Black Shadow chest so a new one seems likely. Give those legs blue shins and they'd be very Overlord-y. Maybe new feet?

that is about the same height as Metroplex.

Animated line as a whole is underrated but BB really feels like they started with a vinyl toy and still managed to carry over a lot of really well executed exaggerations in the mold. Was pretty surprised to find people hate him and can't pose him for shit.

>>5955907
It might be because as a character he is a little shit.
I like him for that though compared to the bland personalities of the other recent Bumblebees.

>>5955907
With a new head I reckon this mold would make a pretty kawaii fembot.

>>5955846
Considering that Trypticon was voted for between him, Scorponock, and Omega Supreme, I'd say he's coming soon.

>>5955890

...Is he going to have the walking feature? Because I really, really doubt that.

>>5955903

...Those are his chest flaps.

>>5955919

...Bumblebee would have made a pretty shoe-in female character from the start.

But Budianski didn't believe in the sexual divide.

>>5955915

I avoided the show so it never violated my headcanon. I had a hard time believing he was a reworked Hotshot design because there's a fair amount of homages packed in right down to the little stinger weapons. If his face was more friendly with smaller eyes he'd invoke the g1 character more though.

>>5955930
I hope there's no walking feature because I know they're going to cut something else to fit it in. Maybe the little clear plastic flaps are just for stability or as a g1 toy referencee

>>5955934
The rework was pretty extreme from that state of being Hot Shot. Like at that point the team medic was a dainty girl and Prowl was not a lanky ninja.

Does the Masterpiece scale at all with them? I have Masterpiece Soundwave and he doesn't stick out too much among CHUG figures.

What about third party? Is there a good Leader/Voyager Optimus that won't break the bank?

There's the classics one of course. And there's a downsized-to-voyager knockoff of the masterpiece which looks pretty cool.

Devastator is not that noticeably different. Some of the members are, but Devastator himself is not. If you get yours to be Devastatore and that's it, you're not losing out on much at all.

Computron has so many differences that it's really not fair to compare the two. I actually like using pieces from both

While I like some of the Hasbro colors better, their Computron just doesn't seem worth it. Not a single new mold, barely any retools, Takara's team being overall better representations (and most of them got notable changes), one guy doesn't have any hand held weapons, etc...

The only major plus are those dedicated hands and feet, and the fact that he's cheaper.

I want to like it but mine always falls apart when I try to transform it. And it's also not quite as clean looking in robot mode or in transformation compared to most of the animated line.

In my case, I'd probably have to say Generations Blitzwing. The shoulders are an easy fix, and all he needs is a better head in my eyes.

While this isn't exactly and explanation, a club story may have discreetly told us what some of the original plans for Computron where.

Apparently, they'd use the Rook with new head, and Afterburner would be using the legends Groove mold. This apparently explains WHY he has that peg on his legs, he's meant to combine with the rook mold in a similar fashion to Strafe and Scrounge.

So in the Japanese continuity, Headmasters are the consciousness and the robot bodies are just like giant mechs they pilot?

Yep, it's more derivative mecha shite.

Nebulans are also fucking awful too but that's another story for another time.

>>5956767
That fucking flying double kick into Galvatron's back tho.

>>5956785
Yes, they are a "race" of tiny cybertronians that left cybertron when the war started and had to build mechsuits to adapt on their new planet.

>>5956799
>>5956798
>>5956797
Weird you say that, the nebulans are clearly mech pilots with full cockpits, I preffer the single minded characters to focus on.

>>5956799
>Nebulans are also fucking awful too but that's another story for another time.

I don't think it's a bad concept. If they expanded it a bit it'd probably work well.

Maybe just make them a race that innately bonds with machinery on a physical/mental level (probably some comic book-ey term for this can be thrown in) and can work well in conjunction with it as a result. A few crazier 'bots wanting a power boost end up going for the process, but it leaves them with an alien meaty core in their skulls.

So you want a bunch of Max Steels fused with their budy robots?

I'm still surprised it's been so long and none of the IDW books have gone back to Nebulos this whole time since Thunderwing did a drive-by on it

It's already out in some parts of US.

>doesn't know that Hasbro has a stock rep for every single store in America, complete with Hasbro branded delivery trucks that work in conjunction with UPS to get everything delivered to 19,429 cities in America
Hasbro is too cheapeass to update their vans in 30 years though, so they spend more time on the side of the road than putting stock inside stores.

>>5956424
>but Devastator himself is not
Did you miss the fact he has ratcheted arms in the takara version and the face swap gimmick, otherwise the small paint app differences are meh, even the fist color isn't that big a deal even though it bothered me personally.

>Computron has so many differences that it's really not fair to compare the two. I actually like using pieces from both
Can't argue with this
>Blurr.....omg yes.. Takara's blurr is streets ahead. WTF was hasbro thinking?
Streets...wut?

But seriously, he just needed some paint variations, even some random silver bits could of helped, its embarrassing when the titan master is more varied than the damn body, and I can't help but feel that if I had no choice but hasbro blurr he'd be in vehicle mode for his entire life.

>>5956712
Jesus christ even I won't go that far, just 2 hasbro and one takara was more than enough, let alone takara's galvatron.

I'm usually all aboard that TAKARA WINS AGAIN bs but not this time

>>5956732
But that ain't black, its grey, a darker grey.

If you're trying to make it a racial stereo type least call it asian jesus

Also I assume you're going with nothing, hasbro's is a light grey :^)

>>5956798
In transformers animated head master cuts off their heads and takes control. Wouldn't that make all transformers piloted mechs? Or did IDW do some sillly DNA bullshit about the soul and mind and how both are reliant on each other and that its not modular in any way.

>>5956187

I got 3.7 cm for Fracas.

>>5956938

Nope. Your spark dies without your body, but you can swap sparks between bodies and back. 'Empurata' involves removing your head. Titan Masters have been shown to freely steal bodies from other Transformers. Hunter was transformed into a Headmaster for Sunstreaker and they both survived the procedure.

>>5956938
IDW did the stupid mecha thing once for humans and twice for transformers. Humans get more derivative transtector shite. First instance for transformers was an ancient race of cybertronian with metal bodies and biological heads. Second instance was mecha shite except that the headmasters rarely if ever reveal their true form.

There was some flashbacks that had Galvatron killing a headmaster that was two robots partnering up and REAL early on in the IDW comics Scorponok was working on headmaster tech with Zarak (before he died) and a human on earth. It seemed like some cybertronians considered it to be an abomination but it hasn't been touched on much.

>>5956958
>>5956961
Let me get this straight. A robot would not be modular or design itself in a way so thst its mind cam transfer from one body do another. Wee, thanks for the hesds up. I will definitely avoid the comics if they do this bullshit out dated system is important and not allowing easy transferring like its a modular system like a computer. Shit, even RiD does the head swapping a bit.

>>5956965
Let me get this straight. A fictional race of robots created as slave by tentacle multifaced robots consider their bodies to be sacred and not easily built like how grimlock built the technobots from spare parts. Hmm...

>>5956968
What the fuck are you even going on about?

>>5956966
It's possible. There's a scene where Optimus Prime downloaded his mind into his trailer to fool Megatron into thinking he killed his body but doing so almost killed him for real. Alpha Trion also did some weird bullshit once where he managed to transfer Ironhide's spark into a new body when Ironhide died on Earth but it was fucking dumb.

>>5956976
Robots are not a closed system. The fact that they transformer and reformat is definitive proof they are capable of more than what IDW says and their backwards western fantasy comic standards.

That's only been firmly established in the old G1 cartoon (if they were even telling the truth). Just about any other piece of Transformers fiction with Quintessons in it hasn't really gotten into that. I think there's only been one Quint appearance in IDW so far but there's a solicitation that implies they might be showing up finally.

>>5956978
Data. Do you mean memories? Would you be comfortable if someone scanned your memories and put it in Iron Hide?

The latest one I remember that is 100% guaranteed to die is the star wars crossover with two bots that make one vehicle.

Got these guys the other day. Was planning to sell them all off except for Thrust and maybe Roller but they really started to grow on me. The paint work on this bunch is super nice.

It's also my first time messing with any combiner wars guys. What are some other figures from the line that are worth looking into?

Was anyone else expecting a similar scene like this to happen with Vos? (Vos: Wear my Faaace! Megatron: Wear my fist!) Certainly would have better than the dreck that Roberts gave us.

Put them in that pose with an explosion background and play X Gon Give It to Ya, and it actually looks badass.

Articulation could be better - no ankle tilts, wrist swivels or waist swivel.

Forcibly a headmaster.

The transformation form robot to shuttle is extremely simple and looks like the robot lying down, while all that top mess on the train mode makes it not look like a train.

Buster is the second best version. Striker Optimus is the best because its got the paint job of Buster, but the head has the battle face plate instead of the open face.

>>5957085
By that I mean the Asian Premium Series Striker Optimus. Not Hasbro's version.
