I'm not even gonna bother linking the last one.
>>5960039
I still think making them pre-existing female Decepticons like Lyzack or Esmeral would have been a better idea.
>>5960039
Why not faglord. Do your job or dont do it at all you disgusting fat pedo! Dont passively aggressively shitpost yourself in the OP.

>>5960039
How much would an un opened hasbro Soundwave MP go for?
>>5960043
I doubt either of you know how. You both just shitpost all day.
>>5960069
$400+ if mint
>>5960048
sadly it is just a repaint and won't be this cute irl.
>>5960076
We'll always have Sakamoto.
Who is the coolest robot ever?
>>5960069
Considering the reissue right around the corner?
>>5960048
...I had no interest in the Fembiner, but the idea of her having a scorpion tail is oddly endearing. I might have to try and grab this set if it ever goes on deep discount.
>>5960011
It just makes you a LE WRONG GENERASHUUUUN dork.
>>5960097
Can the Hotspot mold even do that? the leader curves to the oposite side.
>>5960102
Mention Car Robots, get unceasing shitposts about beast wars.
Can't make this shit up.
>>5960110
To be fair, Car Robots was the last series with Beast Wars aesthetics before the shift in Armada.
>>5960079
>>5960097
>scorpion tail
It's not going to have that. Don't kid yourself.
>>5960116
And it's been a slow climb up ever since.
Hell we just went through an entire combiner series and JRX is still best combiner.
It was a pretty varied line though between the g1 and beast wars reissues, overly-fiddly designs and the big dickimus prime or whatever his final form was called.
>>5960118
She needs a toy!
>>5960133
She does!
Thoughts on Universe Hotshot?
>>5960127
> JRX is still best combiner.
That makes me question how you measure your combiners's quality, but I will say that JRX has the distinction of being the first combiner that isn't a brick, doesn't fall apart if you breath on it and actually has articulation.
Plus non torso/4limb combiners are always neat.
>>5960108
Why would anyone buy it when they can get the reissue in december with an extra accessory for $160..?
>>5960119
you can twist around the ladder on that mold to look like a scorpion tail you dumb fuck.
>>5960139
A terrible mold for a terrible character.
IMHO: The Cybertron one is probably the best.
It's too bad we never got the Animated version of him.
>>5960138
So does Elita-1
>>5960154
Does that face kind of look like ChrisChan to anyone else?
>>5960154
Damn he got down the resemblance to the reference material to a T.
>>5960151
I guess so, Queefamus
>>5960147
Yeah I should elaborate a little bit the individual components are brickish as hell but the proportions are pretty good on them outside of the one that looks like he's wearing giant pants.
I love JRX's overall combined form and just how well all his components are spaced out and accounted for. His combined form's elbows and shoulders actually work, he's solid as a rock plus who doesn't love those jetpack wings?
I'm sure the tolerances are mostly due to those train stick alt modes but he really does feel like one figure in his combined mode.
Going through my old photos, forgot how nice of a truck Buster Prime is.
I'm starting to wonder if Walgreens Brainstorm is ever getting released. I just want to complete my Headmasters line up, but that's taking forever.
Uh oh. My Terradive's spear is showing signs of GPS. What do I do? I don't want to buy space case who is clear plastic and will suffer a similar fate as terradives weapon just for his better spear.
>>5960175
Never lock it into the hands, and never transform it again. That should have it last a few more years. Mine's been cracked since 2011, and it's still not completely broken.
>Skipped combiner wars mostly due to disinterest
>wind up getting computron out of curiosity and because I figured "well I might as well have one"
>now I want them all
fuck, time to play catch up I guess.
I take it the unite warrior version of defensor is better than hasbro's?
>>5960182
You like groove?
>>5960176
>Weapon
>never use weapon
I don't own terradive, but what the fuck would be the difference between having the busted weapon, or the slowly degrading weapon not being used and laying in some drawer? Either way you don't have it, so you might as well enjoy it while it can be.
>>5960182
UW Defensor is really poor visually. If you can get the hasbro line up with the Groove Hasbro recently released you'll have the best one. UW looks REALLY REALLY plain next to it.
>>5960185
He can still wield it since he has open hands.
>>5960186
I'd say the colours are much sharper on the UW, Hotspot in particular is a nice deep blue as opposed to hasbro's anaemic blue.
>>5960182
Honestly I like a combination of them. Defensor's OK either way, but I prefer the CW plus Groove. Be sure to pick up Rook. UW Superion is definitely the better one there. Menasor could go either way, but I definitely like CW Dragstrip better. Personally I like Offroad better than another of the mold Dead End uses. I don't care about the Optimus combiners. Individually Skylynx, Prowl, Hound, and Wheeljack are worth picking up imo. And Victorion if she goes back on deep discount.
>>5960186
The UW version has the benefit of being a cartoon accurate option but the CW version looks much better anyway.
There are too many unpainted details on the UW version
>>5960199
To be fair, I do see some appeal to most of them, hot Spot's the only one who looks crappy.
>>5960106
The japs are so much better at posing toys...
>>5960211
why did they use this mold for girls?
>>5960211
Yeah, completelly forgot about the base swivel, still would've preffer an Elita from that mold than what we got.
>>5960221
Because they don't want to make entirely new molds for characters that might not fly even with overly otaku otaku?
>>5960221
>why did they use this mold for girls?
Because we voted for it.
>>5960221
>expecting Hasbro to spend more than bare minimum
They couldn't even use a quality grade plastic for Kreons to prevent the wrists from stressing. You want unique female combiner molds too?
>>5960171
...Hound is that you? I'm still envious of that Prime and those pics to this day.
I'm not ashamed to admit I'm getting this for the new face, and the recolored drill vehicle.
>>5960039
So why have these threads gotten so bad lately?
I blame Combiner Wars. Towards the end when we were just getting buried in repaints, these generals were on life support. They would frequently 404 before getting anywhere near the post limit. Now that the next line is in full swing, it feels like people have upped the shitposting quota in order to make up the deficit.
>>5960281
The new face fits the bulkier body design better.
The old one was just too angular.
>>5960286
Blurr kickstarted an entire Hasbro vs Takara shitstorm and it snowballed badly.
>>5960281
That's fair. I like both heads for Chromedome, but the G1 paintjob doesn't quite gel with the mold as well as some of the others do. And I'm always a fan of color-coordinated companions.
>>5960281
Wait, the brown gap on the arms is now cream colored, but I don't see any of the brown areas in changing to those colors.
And were the wheels painted black?
>>5960286
Stockholm syndrome, and inability to accept criticism.
I'd say the name but you know who they are.
>>5960294
Revival of headmasters was always going to be less well received than the gestaults so naturally there's more infighting.
>Skullcruncher could be retooled into Horri-Bull, but that will never happen.
It wouldn't even be that difficult. Things that would need replacing are:
-Shoulders (they can stay the same if it's too much of a hassle)
-tail, and gun (replaced with his blaster that would fit in the tails place)
-Entire alligator head, and neck replaced. New head would work like Weirdwolf's.
-Back animal legs replaced with either longer, static legs, or longer legs with 3 points of articulation
>>5960325
Takara will do it eventually like they did those female Decepticon retools using Windblade, Arcee and Animated Blackarachnia.
If you look at Skullcruncher and Mindwipe especially the positioning of the cockpits, there is a good case they could be retools of Bullhorn and Wilder either intentionally by HasTak or by the Designers.
>>5960152
We got this and it's close enough. It even has the flip down goggles.

>>5960346
Heh. I found a few Mindwipes in my local Walgreens. Still haven't picked him up yet.
>>5960346
Really? Killing yourself over Mindwipe? I know he's the best figure in wave 2, has a bitching transformation, the best cockpit in TR, wicked sweet posing potential, and a head that's simple to insert, but there's no reason to kill yourself over him.
>>5960346
>>5960361
Brainstorms not even released yet in most Walgreens stores yet mostly Wave 2.
>>5960361
Of course. Why would they have just one figure from a line?
>>5960359
I like to mistransform him with the robot arms straight up, gives him the soundwave-sque g1 look.
>>5960346
Enjoy, non-rape price. Free shipping. Don't kill yourself.

>>5960310
They did retool the fig. All of the Torchbearer girls got retooling specific to them.
So does Takara do 2nd production runs of stuff? Would really like Blurr & Scourge, but would not like my butthole enslaved by scalpers.
>>5960386
the answer is: Occaisionally

>>5960411

Did Hasbro confirm the name of Broadside's TM?
>>5960434
Yes. ThinBottom.
>>5960436
For real? I need it and Black Shadow's TM for this thing.
>>5960439
I'm fuckin. His name is Blunderbuss which imo is a goofy name, but hey, whatever. Thats the name on the wiki at least.
>>5960434
Narrowtop.
>>5960442
>Blunderbuss and Broadside
>Ominus and Sky Shadow
Well okay, I don't entirely trust these, but the names seem to be corroborated by a few independent TF blogs.
Also, I found a few pics of Trypticon's leg from the stream no one watched.
>>5960451
Someone was asking about what they would do with his leg transformation in one of the past few threads.
>>5960451
We seent it.
>>5960452
>>5960456
>>5960454
I'm sure someone saw it, but someone else was adamant that the designers screwed up with the dinosaurer's legs.
>>5960457
And the play pattern in action.
>>5960457
Why doe she have those two clear plastic bits on the feet? I know the original had them, but they'd serve no purpose here.
>>5960458
Man, it sucks that we'll have to wait for Trypticon, and Overlord until June-August next year.
I want my 2 feet tall mecha Godzilla faster.
>>5960462
It may need the big foot print to keep its balance.
>>5960462
Extra stability in posing. He may no longer have the walking gimmick, but now he's much heavier, and probably has more posing options than just standing around.
>>5960451
I'm surprised full Tryticon pics haven't leaked yet.
>>5960451
That leg looks way too solid for a modern tf
>>5960473
It better be solid if it's gonna support a huge dinosaur body and still be able transform into a base platform.
>>5960478
Calm your tits you sperg, was just asking if anyone else found it an odd transition between the actual robot parts and the faces which look extremely organic and out of place. Holy fuck you trigger more easily than a tumblrina.
>>5960479
>Just the outside, Metro and Fort legs look as solid.
Yeah, but they only had to stand perfectly still for the most part, Trypticon's would look awful like that and he'd also need to balance a heavy tail.

>>5960521
>Takara's distribution of them is cancer tier though.
No chibi Apeface, Repug or Fangry with their TM for the japanese is just dumb.
>>5960521
I agree that TakaraTomy's distribution of the Titan Master packs is strange, but I don't think it's to make their figures more quirky or some shit. Certainly it's neat to have minivehicles that match some of the bigger toys in color.
The best Takara redecoes so far are Hardhead's tankjet and either of the Crashbash dinos they've packed in.
>>5960524
>The best Takara redecoes
It starts with Convobat and ends with Convobat. That's the only smart thing they've done with the TM vehicles. Fuck the rest.
>yfw Takara has become the new Funpub with overpriced shitty repaints
>>5960532
>new
If anything Funpub is the new Takara. But then again Funpub is dead now so...
>>5960532
Well they do already have Funpub-tier comics drawn by the same guy...
>>5960039
Hey all. I'm a little late with this, but here's the TR checklist, updated with the NYCC reveals.
Sometimes I wonder if there's enough interest in the RID line that another list would be necessary.
>>5960541
Funpub actually take themselves seriously. Believe it or not, it's not satire or humor.

Hey according to the guy who leaked Sky Shadow, Broadside is the only Voy in his wave.
>>5960557
Why not both?
>>5960561
Huh, that's weird. As I did for Wave Two Leaders, I'll be keeping that blank spot there until we get official confirmation of the W4 lineup.
>>5960560
How complete are we talking here, One-Steps included?
>>5960211
I actually tried it with Onslaught a while back.
>>5960559
WG Brainstorm, Fangry, Gnaw, Triggerhappy, Hot Rod, Megatron, Laser Rod Optimus Prime, Sixshot, Brawn, Perceptor, Shuffler, Trypticon.
And if they rumors are true, I'll also get Apeface, Snapdragon, and Overlord.
Broadside going to have to wait, that plane mode was downright pathetic.
>>5960573
>Huh, that's weird. As I did for Wave Two Leaders, I'll be keeping that blank spot there until we get official confirmation of the W4 lineup.
Not really, that just means they'll fill that spot with a previously released figure. Leaders are a bit more iffy since they do release a single one from time to time.
>>5960574
>JUST Warriors bruticus

I kinda want to get Megaempress on her own. The combiner doesn't particularly interest me but she looks superb.

I really hate doubling-up on characters. And doubling up on molds is even worse for me.
I blame my parents.
I just ordered a KO Masterpiece Skywarp.
I already own the Walmart exclusive from a few years back.
I think I may be loosing control.
I blame you /tfg/
Or maybe thank you..
Not sure which.
>CW Ratchet was an exclusive, and so is the UW version
Damn, I just wanted a new deluxe ratchet to go with my CW Ironhide. The universe molds were awful.
>>5960592
Then I won't get him, he isn't that good.
>>5960595
I personally use the Prime Ratchet mold.

Blog on TFW instead, faggot
>>5960557
>Universe (white) Lio Prime, looks awesome
He isn't tho, the mold, it has limited articulation for the arms, nothing on the torso and short disproportionated legs, the tail pegs to an open hand that can't close its fingers and just doesn't look good once you have it in hand, ...well it has a nice facesculpt.
>>5960609
Thanks, good to know.
I guess that narrows things down for me.
>>5960573
>How complete are we talking here, One-Steps included?
up to you(although 100% complete would be nice), although if there's any characters that are exclusive to that part of the line, then definitely include them even if you otherwise skip it
>>5960595
why is it that they seem so averse to releasing Ratchet in a non-exclusive format(not counting show or movie tie-ins)?
I'm looking forward my first Mastergrades
I already preordered the Soundwave reissue, and I'm going to get Wheeljack and Lambor (I like his Brave-ish look)
How's MP Prowl (and recolors)?
>>5960616
>Mastergrades
>>5960458
I wonder if that heel does anything... it's very blocky and I think I see a hinge.
>>5960616

>>5960630

>>5960622
Brain fart, I build Gunplas too and the titles are similar
>>5960630

>>5960501
His work isn't bad when its on commission.
>>5960635
Anon pls
>>5960639
Do they still have the rights to "swoop"? They did call him Strafe in the movie.
>>5960593
You can thank me, I was suggesting the ko's only because I don't want other seeker collectors buying my future hasbro skywarp.
Its hard enough when I'm physically fighting scalpers let alone competing addicts
>>5960646
It's a generic word so they'll probably name it "Autobot Swoop".
>>5960616
The datsun mold is top tier, though the paint work is bit iffy.
In my experience I find the takara's are spot on (even though its got a paint chip from being second hand my takara smokescreen has the cleanest deco), hasbro mp prowl was ok though his transformation wasn't as smooth because of excess plastic gumming him up and some crooked tampos (I have ocd, it hurts), I heard a mix bag on blue-bluestreak, no idea on silver-blustreak...
BE CAREFUL with hasbro bluestreak though, I went though an entire tru's stock just to get one who's paint didn't look like a kindergartner didn't hand paint it nor be stiff as fuck JUST to transform, I still to this day feel sorry for the poor girl in a store that was clearly short staffed who watched me open every bluestreak just to say "this doesn't look like $100" every time.
What sucks more is they're made in the same factories, go figure, I got the main trio and the diaclone repaints can stay away from me
>>5960646
They used Strafe even in G1-based merch, so they may have lost the rights to Swoop, at least temporarily.
If anything it at least won't be lost forever, unlike Dinobot "British curseword" Slag.
>>5960581
Is this why some places have yet to see Titans Return? All we have gotten here so far are VERY limited Wave 1 Titan Masters.
>>5960559
I haven't bought anything but MPs and the odd misc. Tf figure for the past few years, but I think I might cave for Triggerhappy and Sixshot. If I see Sentinel Prime on sale I might pick him up. I'm definitely down for Overlord and Apeface and Snapdragon (if the latter two get made.)
>>5960657
Where are you anon?
We were lucky enough to get a healthy dose of wave 2 TM's in australia, wave one and 2 deluxes went quick (especially since a sale was happening which timed nicely with wave 2's release) while we're stalled on legends with a small spattering of wave 2 leaders.
Australia for reference
>>5960592
Then I guess we are not getting him
Usually when a person says "I'll wait for a sale" it's code for "I can live without it"
This could turn into the rarest series and I'm still not spending money on most of theses guys, the quality just isn't there.
Also Hasbro is natorious for glutting a product of demand is shown, we could be drowning in wave 2 bots by Christmas
>>5960660
I'm in Scandinavia, distribution has been pretty shit here. We didn't even get any CW Leaders.
>>5960659
Triggerhappy just looks fantastic. Both modes are solid. I'm really hoping by wave 3 QC issues get better handled.

What would you guys do if this happened, I don't know whether to send him back or sell him on ebay
>>5960581
This could be more of an issue with the new factories and what not
It's likely a huge shift in workforce and is likely leading to smaller outputs
>>5960676
Sell him on ebay. They made a mistake so you should take advantage of their carelessness
>>5960385
>scare tits and new head
man, what a retool
>>5960681
Don't forget the forarms, they got changed from closed fist to open hands.
Ignore the backpack thats her combiner feet, you probably knew that but just covering bases
>>5960684

>>5960686
Shit, its minor but it counts (and I totally forgot), cheers for the correction anon
Are megatronia's preorders up yet?
Are the TR Voyager Horrorcons confirmed? I heard it was part of a leak but was that leak reliable?
Also should I get TM Brawn and Skytread, considering that I already have the Terri-bull mold and plan on getting W4 Brawn?
>>5960721
I think that last batch of leaks was the least reliable yet. We gotta be wary and not trust those as much as we can usually trust the Transmissions leaks.
Also you should totally get Brawn, especially if you're gonna get a bigger Brawn for him to drive. Skytread looks cool too, and he's still a different head for you to use.
>>5960721
Brawn's cannon goes well with Hardhead, it's the same width as the stock one.
Not sure about Skythread. Also that face looks vaguely like Blitzwing's so im wondering if they'll just reuse Skythread's face for Voyager Blitzwing.
>>5960725
Fuck, I was really banking on TR Horrorcons. They're perfect for the voyager class size too.
>>5960726
Hmm... Brawn looks fun I guess. The reason I asked about the Horrorcons was because I was deciding between getting the Apeface titanmaster or hoping on a proper Voyager.
I'll have to think about Skytread though.
>>5960549
I get the feeling we're gonna see wave 4 figures next month doing that conference thing Hasbro did last year when they revealed Fort Max.
We might see a proper look at Trypticon there.
>>5960581
fuck man I still haven't seen much of Wave 2. I've only bought Chromedome, Weirdwolf, Mindwipe, Rumble and Laserbeak.
>>5960735
Conference thing? Please refresh my memory because I don't remember all of Hasbro's reveals over the past year.
To the other Singapore-fag in here: I'm back in the country for the week, and am currently staying in the Orchard area. Where should I go toy hunting?
>>5960709
Been up for awhile now, its a TTmall exclusive though so get the rape wallet ready
>>5960742
I think Takashimaya still has 20% sales on, you can go there for hasbro stuff. They might have 1 set of Liokaiser left if you're interested in that.
For recent Takara/3p stuff, you can check out RoboRobo (excelsior shopping centre beside funan), TFH or the shops and stalls at China Square Central on Sunday.

Yo, anyone know where to get pics of the inside of those stupid prime voyager weapons? specifically OP and Megatron.
>>5960286
Are you shitting me? The tail end of CW was when the curtain was pulled back and we got to witness that there 4 really dedicated here forever poster that will shitpost with each other and pick fights on near random thoughts. Hell they also used r9k logic and terminology very heavily. The quality is basically how slow the board is as a whole and right now most are like me and this month is a pretty big social month so those 4 retards get to shine out better.

So basically people who have nothing to directly influence the toys ie John Warden.
Ok, I vote the guy who eats shit because you gotta have balls if you eat excremental
>>5960676
check if you did not get charged again for it first.
>>5960905
It was a pre-order I paid for in advance and that worked out fine.
Its ironic that one of my first pre-orders is coming a second time, infact I pre-ordered it as soon as it was announced.
If they did charge me a second time all these months later I would be pissed
Why hasnt this been given a release date yet?
I want this Ultra Magnus so bad.
>>5960956
It's already out.
>>5960964
Oh
How long has it been out?
>>5960281
Oh hi handsome.
>>5960549
Lets see what you got and what you're planning, /toy/.
con exclusive Chromedome with actual chrome when?
Hardhead, Skullsmasher, Blurr, Scourge, Apeface, Mindwipe, Wolfwire, Astrotrain, Gnaw, Kickback, Trigger Happy, Twinferno, Sixshot, Repugus, Broadside probably.
>>5960976
SDCC exclusive, but all the gold chromed parts have gold plastic underneath.
>>5960976
>wanting chrome
What is fucking wrong with you?
>>5960979
>gold plastic toy with chrome and rubber parts
>>5960986
Those are all of my pet peeves, clear plastic too.
>>5960986
>>5960989
He meets all the criteria
>>5960994
Load bearing gold plastic on joints next to die cast panels.
>>5960994
Diecast metal
It flakes easy and puts a lot of stress on the plastic around it
>>5960994
Diecast metal tabbing into plastic slots for essential structural support
>>5960994
Parts colliding on parts and has an auto-transformation gimmick that the spring applies pressure to the weak point
>>5961002
So basically Randy?
>one step transformer
>spring loaded transformation
>is made entirely of pure GPS
He's basically a frag grenade
>>5960995
I heard that he's purely clear plastic, and that the gold is all painted.
>>5961014
Same. I'm not sure about the gun megs but literally all the plastic is transparent and any color is painted on
>>5960995
Why dose this pos exist?
>>5961031
Most of the Chinese zodiac transformers look alright.
YotH Optimus looks great for example.
YotG Soundwave is just stupid and garrish and pretty much the only ever hasbro MP shelfwarmer
>>5960975
k
>>5960549
I know it's probably a toy no one cares about, but wave 1 should have Pipes under legends
>>5961064
Ignore me, I am an idiot.
>>5961011
It will never not be funny having a Transformer named Randy.
>>5960975
I want to stay focused with my purchases, so I've reduced TR to an easier-to-keep-track-of shortlist.
>>5961011
I've seen too many videos where they're excruciatingly gentle with it
I just want ONE review they they sit him on a table, slam down on the transformation lever and duck for shrapnel
Breaking it in catastrophic ways is half the fun of a GPS toy
>>5961091
You really want that new Bee? We might get a Chase, and a Goldbug later down the line.
>>5960581
My local stores have never had any of wave 2, aside from the Toysrus starting Titans Return with the wave 2 headmasters for some reason. Should I buy online now or assume that once the wave 1 stuff is sold out they'll put out wave 2?
>>5961093
>I just want ONE review they they sit him on a table, slam down on the transformation lever and duck for shrapnel
We need a movie edit of someone hitting an explosion plunger thats Randy and the explosives shopped as thousands of pieces of Randy shrapnel.
>>5961095
Yeah, I do. I never got the IDW/WFC legends from T30 since the look didn't appeal to me, but this new one is enticing. And if I were to get a Bee, at least let it have an additional cockpit feature.
>>5961093
Well, there's a video of a guy literally crushing Randy to death.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcjAUN5Ssj8
>>5961095
>Goldbug later down the line.
I fucking wish. They're just going to release bumblebee in gold and not even bother to change the face.
>>5961034
If it was like $10 on clearance I'd buy it to give my actual Soundwave red eyes.
>>5961098
Better to be safe than sorry, just buy it online man.
>>5961111
>They're just going to release Cliffjumper in red and not even bother to change the face.
Fixed that for you.
>Legends Horri-Bull has been the hardest TM to find in the entire line.
Amazon has managed to get all of them in stock regularly, but after he sold out the first time, he's been at 9 fucking dollars.
Weren't the Breastforce a bunch of convicts too like the RID Furrycons?
>>5961128
So when is Liokaiser supposed to be available in the US, anyone know?
>>5961109

I'd kek hard if the rumored Chase remold is the RB character and not G1 Chase.

You could always just take of the head, remove the eye piece and spray paint it red or something.

No only Gaihawk was a convict imprisoned on Micro.

Just started buying transformers, got this guy.
I feel so childish but they look so dope
>>5961225
I feel sorry for you. You missed out on the golden age and are now stuck with this utter trash. Try and pick up anything before 2012 if you can.
>>5961236
Do you have examples ?
>>5961031
Beats me.
>>5961241
Not them but
TF2010 Terradive
TF2010 Lugnut
Generations Springer
Will do you right.
>>5961241
Don't worry about him, buy what you like.
You should read up on them, see if there's any you'd want.
>>5961256
Most of them are fine figures, though if you're wary about a figure, it never hurts to ask the general consensus on it.
>>5961256
Those three are just the safest bets I can think of. Practically everyone loves them.
Probably have to buy around a bit to find out what you really prefer. TFs are pretty varied and have been going for so long that no matter what you prefer there's usually plenty to pick from.
>>5961241
Check out figures from the following lines:
Revenge of the Fallen
War for Cybertron (NOT Fall of Cybertron...avoid those figures like the plague)
Hunt for the Decepticons
Transformers Animated
Transformers Prime (First Edition)
Generations/Classics figures Post 2013
You may also want to give a few Cybertron figures a go (Leader Galvatron, Leader Prime, Voyager Starscream, Vector Prime). They're older figures, so their articulation isn't up to snuff for today's standards...but they're still really good figures. Even some of the Energon figures (Deluxe Starscream, Shockblast, Bulkhead, Landmine) are good; with the bonus of better articulation than the Cybertron figures.
Finally, give Combiner Wars a chance. There are some really good figures in that line, with Superion/UW Computron being some of the best official combiners ever released. Just make sure to get the Perfect Effect hands/feet to go with them.
>>5961272
>NOT Fall of Cybertron...avoid those figures like the plague
The seekers are fine, if a little short. I actually like Shockwave. And Grimlock is fine in robot mode.
>>5961034
I have no idea what they were thinking with that. At least the others made sense both for color choices and parts used
>Be on low budget
>Don't like TR Sixshot at all
>Still consider getting it just because it might be worth a lot later on
What do? Is it a good investment?
>>5961293
Have any recent transformers go on to be expensive in the aftermarket? What was the last one?
>>5961293
I wonder if takara will improve him and Overlord like they did Ginrai.
>>5961289
I really hope the inevitable Titan Omega Supreme cuts back on the size for better alt mode. Having him be Devastator size would be ideal.
>>5961293
>Toys as investment
No, but if you want a modern Sixshot and are in a tight budget get the ko Hexatron, there are 2 sizes, voyager and leader.
>>5961298
Wave 1 and two of combiner wars, believe it or not.
>>5961293
I actually like him, save for the skirt flaps that rarely look good on any modern figure, but I can live with it. Even the new head design doesn't bother me.
>>5961302
Doubt it, they thought Blaster was ok, despite this helmet not being accurate to his cartoon model, so I don't see them altering the torso to remove the skirts, changing the helmet, or making the chest protrude more to mimic his look in the anime.
>>5961317
Can't wait to mimic the last Ark battle with Trypticon.
So, I forgot I got TAV Drift last Christmas and found him, along with an unopened Evil Lord in a box. I'm still unpacking from moving. I have no fucking idea why Takara left his swords plain white, so this little 'secret accessory' is like a gift from god. I like this toy like 100x more now.
>>5961242
That thing hasn't made profit
It has likely been a money pit in a bad way
>>5961225
It blows my mind that some adult folks are just getting into Transformers and that Megatronus is someone's first.
I recomend getting Titan Returns Hardhead if you can.
Hasbro selling out on their current TR stock can only be a good thing, right?
>>5961105
That mold looks really great, apart from the windows jutting out of the bicep. Still, I've got enough Bumblebees. I might wait for the rumored Freeway/Searchlight repaint, though. I love tiny, generic, "literally who" bots.
>>5961324
I wish he hadn't come with Jazz whom I really didn't want. I would have love to pick this guy up. If you can find them, I recommend Dr Wu's ancient swords. They look great with classics Drift too. Although I had to cut just a little out of his door panels so he could sheath them.
>>5961331
I'm hoping I can cut those windows off and maybe reattach them to his back instead of them having to be on his arms.
>>5961329
It'll be bad down the line.
In a year or two, they're gonna be a worth a lot.
>>5961341
I don't really want Fort Max, but I'd buy that. Especially if he had a headmaster that turned into a jet.
>>5961329
I'm kinda afraid I'll have trouble getting everything I want in the line. I still need the wave 1 leaders, and most of wave 2 still...
>>5961357
Good news, Amazon still has them so go for it.
>windblade takes design elements from japanese kabuki
>kabuki is a type of theatre where all roles were played by men (including women)
Windblade confirmed for trapbot.
>>5960374
I actually met the owner of this site back in August at a Hot Wheels show of all places. He sold me Apeface for $7, which was hard to find at the time.
>>5961341
>saving a stamp sized version
Fuck Hiroyuki's server costs.
>>5961366
Guess I should pick up Scourge and Blurr then. Can't find the LG versions, so I better grab the TR before they fucking disappear too.
>>5961360
No disposable income right now, unfortunately.
Definitely need Blaster, though. Might buy Ginrai instead of Powermaster Prime, I dunno.
I definitely need Chromedome, Highbrow, and Astrotrain. I can pass on Alpha Trion, the wave 2 titan masters and Soundwave if need be.
>>5961336
Jazz is probably my favorite of the Autobot cars, so I never mind having another version of him. and that one is pretty good with the proper head and decent paint. idk.
but I'll see if I can find those swords. it'd be nice to have one for Cyclonus, too. thanks for the tip.
>>5961341
Even though I own fort max I would still buy the tidalwave repaint if it had a different head and better articulated hands
>I can dream
>>5961376
Might as well.
Or you could look for the Generations version, I'm sure some folks are looking to load them off.
>>5961379
>Might buy Ginrai instead of Powermaster Prime, I dunno
Personally, I'm getting Ginrai since there's a repaint of PMOP in the upcoming Strength set anyway.
>>5961411
And you're getting that set? Damn, that set might go all the way to 150 dollars.
>>5961419
>Implying
>>5961225
>I feel so childish
>>5961411
The only thing I don't like about Ginrai is the feet, but the colors are miles better than the Hasbro version, better arms, better cab, etc.
>>5961418
I'm getting both sets, nigga.
>Dat Tidal Wave
>Dat Quickswitch
>Dem clones
>>5961446
You're probably the first person I've talked to that actually wants the set. Glad to know someone's going to fully enjoy these. I only wanted Star Convoy and the clones, but I sure as hell ain't shelling that much money for them, specially for repaints.
>>5961329
>Hasbro selling out on their current TR stock can only be a good thing, right?
It depends on if Hasbro lowered the number of units produced for each wave due to the belief that retailers wanted Last Knight toys (like what happened with Animated) or if the numbers made were the same as CW and orders exceeded expectations.
>>5961448
Well, usually people only want a couple from each set so it's not that surprising.
I heard they're gonna be the same price as the CW sets, but that does seem too cheap for all those figures.
>>5961411
>Strength set
Huh
>>5961459
Can someone remind me as to what these set things contain? I wonder when we'll see them.
>>5961459
Assuming it's 3 deluxes, one TM, and a Leader, Prices should be around 130-132 (this is using the suggested retail price). Some people assumed the clones would be legends figures, but that would leave it at 88 (making them more expensive than the combiners)
>>5961463
One set has:
A random TM, Star Convoy, Autobot Clones, Nautica, and Quickswitch
The other has:
Iron Apex, Magnus Prime, random TM, Tidal Wave, Decepticon Clones.
>>5961467
It would make sense for the clones to be Legends since that would make the sets contain figures from each size class, but I would definately prefer if they were Deluxe.
>>5961470
The random TM are Powerhouse and Thunder Clap. The latter is rumored to be based on pic related.
>>5961470
It's such a odd mish-mash, I wonder if there'll be any retooling (outside of headswaps).
>>5961475
Yeah, but exclusive Legends? What would they even be based on?
>>5961493
The more I think about it, the more worried I get that the clones will just be repaints of Blurr and Brainstorm.
>>5961519
Well, they are the logical choices.
>>5961524
Nautica uses the same mold though, would they really put three of it in the same set?
>>5961530
Well, she's technically a retool, so they might still consider it different enough.
>>5961327
Well when I was 13 I got this one, was pretty happy about it. Looks like Fracture
>>5961562
You mean Fracture looks like Oil Slick
>>5961519
>The more I think about it, the more worried I get that the clones will just be repaints of Blurr and Brainstorm.
No they are probably repaints of Mindwipe and Weirdwolf. Remember Hasbro is trying to reuse ALL the molds here and those animal molds have been woefully underused. The Autobot ones are most like reuses of the Blurr or Perceptor mold.
>>5961565
Yeah exactly
>>5961566
He was obiviously talking about the autobot ones.
>>5961272
>Transformers Animated
God....I really like these
>>5961053
This is a line where I would also get Takara of 90% of them just because of how good their boxes and paint are. I really hate the clam shell since I can't display those on my shelf.
>>5961298
Check the Takara Blurr, it's about $100 now on the after market.
>>5961519
I thought Hasbro said the Air Vehicons couldn't be brought over to the states due to Takara rights not letting them. WTF is this then?
>>5961620
Just like Groove failing a US drop test, right?
I should really 3D print piledrivers for my TR Rumble.
>>5960956
It's out but it's excessively expensive
>>5961644
Yeah I might be able to just hunt these figures down and have someone do a paint job on them instead.
>>5961289
really need to hunt down one of those Omega Supreme figures some day
>>5961180 (You)
>>5961635
You can do decent piledrivers on him if you transform the arms a certain way.

Where can I buy TR Chromedome and Highbrow? Can't buy the wave set anymore- I found Weirdwolf and Mindwipe at Walgreens.
>>5961878
Where else? On another Walgreens.
>>5961879
Have the wave 2 deluxes even hit retail outside of walgreens, on that note? Everybody here seems to be getting their wave 2 stuff from there.
Okay, so, this one might be a bit weird, but bear with me.
I noticed that TR Powermaster Prime has that big empty space in his chest, and I thought to myself "Hey, perfect place to put the Matrix!"
So, which Matrices would actually fit? The one that came with Masterpiece Prime? The little silver one that they occasionally put out with re-issues?
>>5961519
Holy shit id actually really like that, it fits and i dont plan to buy either of those two anyway
Whats taking Hasbro so long to announce TR Eject and Frenzy?
>>5961927
Don't you mean Rewind and Rumble
>>5961929
Uh, sure. Whichever one they didn't do yet.

Ok, that is genuinely ugly. I thought UW Bruticus was bad but it has nothing on this.

>Those things existing at all is a waste instead of having full on figures.
Those things exist as cheap-easy to get replacements for kids that lose their TM heads, "the toy is useless if you lose the head" was the main complain for G1 headmasters, the minivehicles are a bonus.
>>5962005
back cannons are too puny.

That thigh config is hideous and the matching feet is pukeworthy

Huh a shield, I actually never thought of that for Skullcruncher, I gave the gun tip a nice coating of 5 second fix and now it can be used as a handle, when plugged into its storage spot it turns the entire tail into an rather impressive club.
