What a shit day.

Ok, today I received 2 packages, one is a SECOND delta magnus, I don't want it, but I contacted the seller anyway (I only paid for one and I'm a moral fag), still no response and if things don't go well It's going for auction.

The second is pic related, I suspect its a ko red alert, seller said its new, box was fucked in the pictures, I expected damage but what I got is a highly suspect ko.

Anyway the head hatch doesn't close properly, one of the telltale signs, the collectors card differs from all my others (including my suspect g2 sideswipe ko which is actually better quality), the front tires are more loose than a cheer leaders crotch socket preventing him from rolling properly, and the notch that holds the chest down in robot mode isn't shaped correctly preventing that from locking down

I got other pics if anyone wants to help me identify, my plan is to ask the seller *nicely* what my options are, though its not *exactly* like ko checklist are, the tampo of the bull emblem is ok, the "contach" is spelt correctly, though there is some overspray in other sections like on the windows

I was kinda fooled because (aside from box damage) the box didn't have obvious give away signs like poorly printed graphics though its kinda shinier than my other mp boxes.

How would you go about this anons, this seller charged me double the going ko price and its second hand in a damaged box listed as "new", should I ask for my initial $25 back (still more than a ko), discuss sending it back, or should I go for gold and ask for more money?

Because it ain't new (double taped), and the seller didn't specify if its a ko or legit

>>5962297
So I was right, its plastic, and good plastic too.

Where did you get the foc thundercracker from anon and price?

>>5962300
Yeah they're great. I'm impressed I managed to find Thundercracker at all considering he's an exclusive.
>>5962306
I got it from Robo robo in Singapore, it was the only one they had unfortunately.

Paid $45 SGD which translates to $32 USD. When you consider that it originally sold for around the same price back in 2013 this is a fucking steal.

>>5962303
>should I ask for my initial $25 back (still more than a ko)
Go with this. Assuming that it's the same seller you got Delta Magnus 2 from, you can just say that the extra MP is your additional compensation.

>>5962329
I wish the delta magnus was part of this one but no its from another, actual company (premium collectables).

This red alert is from someone on ebay, its still a hit even with $25 off, but at least it helps.

I just emailed them asking my options, when they respond I'll either go with what they say or start with the $25 mark (unless, now that delta magnus is established as another seperate item, I should try to ask for more).

Its a shame they haven't left me feedback yet, could of gotten them reeling back hard but they're defensive, so I need to play nice

Ok yeah this ko sucks.

Torso can't lost because the peg is too big for the massive chest peg (gonna have to carve up one and sand the other), the hand pegs are loose, the shoulder ports are loose, the arms and legs are tight at least but the left leg cover needs to be forced into its peg hole because it opens at an angle, also wheels can't roll because they're loose on the pins that mount them.

We make fun of hasbro and its qc, but ko's can be really good (my ko g2 sideswipe looks the part apart from his teeth) or utter crap, I hope that seller responds soon so I can decide to repair him myself or refund and just get the anime color version from premium collectables or something.

Its kinda depressing

>>5962334
>>5962353
Brutal.
Sorry you got a bad roll anon, it's never a good feeling when you try to play it cheap and it gives you more headaches then if you went full price. Here's hoping the seller just gives you the money back and you can go from there.

Cheers.

I didn't do anything about the last ko I got because it did its job well, was still cheaper than this one, and never knew until later on (thought it was a qc thing), I should I just got my arse handed to me via mandarake and bought one of theirs.

Even a second hand smokescreen I got off them with a noticeable paint chip on the front bumper was better than this

>>5962363
Just keep the Delta Magnus, the universe oddly compensated you for your KO experience

>>5962371
Well if they don't reply in 24 hours I will.

...btw who wants my second delta magnus if that happens, if it was ultra magnus I'd keep it but I can't head cannon this

If you wanna discuss KOs, discuss it in the KO thread

>>5955323

>>5962375
Delta Magnus has no fiction, you can do whatever you want as far as head canon goes!

Maybe the Delta Magnus units are a special class of Cybertronian military drone of which Ultra Magnus was the best. Maybe they just happen to have the same body type and color scheme, and they end up messing up each other's lives sitcom style. Maybe they're brothers.

>>5962382
Was mostly posting so anons get an idea between the 2 for the purposes of education and in no way advocating getting them over the originals.

But alright, I won't post them, because thats the third party general and I don't want to post there, into the trash my post go

>>5962383
Well for my current one he's either optimus prime's upgrade or ultra magnus upgraded, kinda like armada starscream getting a new paintjob.

I'm not keen on multiple's of mp's but I'm sure to get some money off him

>>5962375
Dude!! Dude!!!!! You can finally do it!!!!!!!!! You can do the thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can finally display one (1) Transformer in robomode and one (1) Transformer in altmode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The same character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>5962353
The Sideswipe and Wheeljack KOs have problems, but they are fixable.

>>5962389
I love your enthusiasm, this might be the case if no one picks him up at $50.

I'm already selling other things on ebay for next to nothing and people aren't touching it

(I also don't have the space for him, the space remaining is for thrust and dirge, I'm running low on storage)

>>5962387
You can post KO talk here it's fine, the other guy was just making a a cheap sledge against the 3P stuff, ignore him

>>5962392
Would pledge fix loose pins, as in they slide in and out of the socket?

I just can't believe my luck, g2 was was fine and took months before I realized but this guy stood out like a sore thumb

>against 3p
>in regards to ko's

Its ironic ko's are cheap and 3p's are over priced

>>5962393
And I love YOU, anon. The goddess Fortuna is with you and I'm envious.
You could also have the second Delta Magnus for vroom-vrooming and whooshing, get him to punch some legends-class figures, or drop him off your table. He's invincible, because he was free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really much to say really, I'll keep it brief, might as well prolong life of the thread for once.

http://bbs.actoys.net/read.php?tid-2419901.html

The YES MODEL thundercracker (and skywarp, starscream and the others will come eventually) are packed in a plain packaging in a layout similar to the hasbro version (to the right), it comes with a plain stand (no name bar) and a orange clear rod bit, from what I hear they're comparable to the hasbro seekers, apart from takara based color scheme.

No tampo wings but you get stickers, looking at the other images the sprues are cut more nicely too (watching early adopters of the TT thundercracker they kept posting pics of the rough sprue cuts, clearly not happy).

I would always support takara versions or even hasbro (being a seeker fan) but since they're made in limited numbers why pay 3-400+ for someone else's seeker, if someone wants to take a risk of getting a floppy no branded seeker go ahead, least it'l look like a good f15

>>5962395

Sorta, there are "branded" ko's which I appreciate, they warn you of their product and are always cheaper on average, these can be considered 3p, but sometimes its good to discuss, some of these are retooled or sold off as the real deal.

Then you get the fakes, the ones that only diehard collectors will know and leave you reeling, ko talk for the purpose of education is good.

>>5962411
Instead of posting multiple images just a link, one image, and then people can ignore as they please.

The fact you responded shows you have an interest, an interest in hating.

The post going on right now are different, on one side we got someone who got dudded with a fake and only knew when researched, might be looking for options on what to do, since said fixes sometimes apply to the real things, so its helpful, sometimes some anons want cheap plastic and we're giving them an option, for outdated molds I see little harm other than keeping the manufacture alive.

Then we get simple educational post, comparing the 2, this isn't as bad as some people who glorify ko's to be utter perfection (although frighteningly enough, with mpp10 and its massive size, ko tracks and his rubber tires, and some ko mp10's having more paint than the actual takara releases its kinda scary).

Therefore, I perfectly understand your hatred for ko's, but we can't pretend they don't exist, people will drift towards ko's one way (by accident) or another (on purpose for army building/poorfag), least we can give them some warning before hand.

Maybe its autism, but there are telltale signs, have skullcruncher(s) (since it is mine).

No faction logo on head is takara, half way painted cockpit hatch exposing semi clear red plastic is takara, claws ion glaring white is also takara (hasbro uses an offwhite), a more obvious difference would be the side tampo print (you can't see here only because it wasn't viable in my first picture but the takara one has just the faction logo, not the whole side with the silver sticker imitation tampo).

For hard head its that grey/brown bit, hasbro hardhead has it painted a bit further making it look like a screaming face while takara doesn't paint as far, also a subtle different in his shade of plastic green.

Only a diehard/owner/autist can spot these from poor lighting.

Also don't mind the arms on the half of my hasbro skullmasher, its a custom for my megaaligator, not even gonna bother doing the main chest or the head since the spray can I had on hand comes close, just arms and legs

>>5962454
Not really. I'd have to compare the two decos to tell, and the brown could look darker for the lighting.

Happy now or are you gonna cry because I got an optimus who turns into a t-rex, cost me half of what titan returns cost due to a blunder by staff, and has no qc issues unlike my skullcruncher who I've taken to repaint?

Made by hasbro as well, honestly there is no pleasing people these days, can't we spend money as we wish, I can understand if its your money, and yes I earnt this money, I don't live off neetbux so I'm not taking your hard earned money.

>>5962468
Not on initial glance, you gotta remember anon, these are toys, only collectors/autist are so strict on deco differences, this isn't like the night and day difference with scourge and blurr here.

If the heads were in shot, then yes, obvious, but they weren't, to deliberately avoid this kinda shitposting just because some people have different taste.

Its kinda depressing, know what we buy for our own fun is mocked.

Currently in prototype stages. Head's a bit small but I heard that they'll give him two fusion cannons and his shotgun, plus a few tweaks to his transformation.

Only bad bit is how they'll scale him. I think they're trying to get his truck mode to scale with Optimus, though that would take a hell of a lot of space in storage if they sell it this big.

>>5962666
Which versions of Ratchet and Ironhide are those? The scale looks pretty dead on. Although I imagine it's off in bot mode.

Background medic. He was there so whenever amputations happened, they can say "Ratchet fixed em." but like most other bots they never gave much thought to giving him more lines. Hell I'm surprised he got a role in escortiing Optimus in the third. Other than that, he just wasn't that...in as a toy to sell to children. Doctors aren't that important as giant guns.

Sidenote: Also in the Decepticons campaign of the video games, both the first and the second in all consoles, he was forgotten

One of the worst things to feel for the Bayformers. It's what I feel towards Barricade. Hell his death in IDW hit me way harder than most other characters. He was a corrupt cop with a spark of gold, saved kids and dinobots and gave his life for them.

Were the IDW Movie comics any good? I still have a trade of the 2007 prelude, but nothing else.

>>5962681
One thing's for certain, those two are the best he had.

Though Tank is just a bit more Megatron with his tread-feet and fusion cannon.

>>5962700
They tried to tie things up. They're alright as substitutes for the movies but they're not canon as far as Baycontinuity is concerned.

The DOTM one though, it follows the novel continuity so the Twins are there and the ending is changed to have Prime let Megatron live.

Get some good voice actors to provide new dialogue and we're golden.

Movie 1 would have an interchangeable unit of Autobots work together with Sector Seven/NEST to extract mystical robotic artifacts and fend off against a handful of Decepticons.

Movie two would reveal that Cybertronians have been interacting with Earth throughout the planet's history, with triple-changer Megatron mediating between the Fallen and Sentinel Prime. The Autobots commune with the Primes and they assist by bringing back the Dinobots. And then they fight and shit I guess.

There is truth to it. They did test screening and that's where the data was going. It's that uncanny valley issues where what looks good in 2D does not translate into live action. Regardless it work at least for the first film. If they could have kept a plot together and had less fart humor in the second film I wager on US shores it would have about the same money power as cape films. That said 4 apparently went over well with the general audiences so if 5 golds itself together we might see a resurgence in popularity

>>5962607
No, and it made me mad because Loud Pedal did get it too. And I don't think RR was any cheaper than Tracks.

>>5962975
Man, you don't need to remove the inner spiderleg pins, just split apart, turn around the center pieces, abdomen and neck and put everything back together, removing the spider legs isn't worth it, too much risk to "hide" the hollow spider legs side in beast mode. plus if yoo have an Animated BA yo could just switch the chest pieces and save a lot of time getting metalic bronze spider legs as bonus.

>>5962993
Not him, but I've avoided modding my BA because I hate removing pins. Are you saying you can fix the neck without removing *any* pins and the only downside is that the hollow side of the spider legs faces up in spider mode?

>>5962993
Yeah fuck it, I'm still not getting any further on this.

I'm gonna try that and see what it looks like, this mod isn't worth risking breaking an expensive toy.

Hell, even just plugging her shitty weapon into her back holder allieviates the hole problem enough for me.

>>5962975
The neck is way too long too. So much for TAKARA WINS AGAIN.

>>5963015
In this case there wasn't a domestic one to compare it to.

What are examples of great pre-Generations Universe/Classic figures?

I kind of think the misassembly on BA was intentional.

If you can look past the tracheotomy hole and try to ignore it as a flaw, then if you complete the fix, her chestpiece slides up high enough to make the breasts appear unnaturally high on her chest, where as out of the box the chest piece can't go high enough to make the breasts go higher than they should. (this is basing her appearance off of a realistic woman's anatomy, of course)

And on top of that, in the original BA animated mold, her pedipalps folded into her midsection after the chestplate was pushed up all the way to fill out her midsection. On a fixed version of the LG BA mold, there's nothing to fill out the midsection after the chestpiece is fully transformed, because the pedipalps are now boobs, and she's like a twig. Whereas on an unfixed version, her breasts' balljoints are large enough and shaped as such to pretty much suffice in filling out the midsection. when pushed up as far as they go.


In the end though I suppose you just have decide between a twig waist or a neck hole.

>>5963025
I'm unfamiliar with the "misassembly". What's up with the figure?

>>5962999
>Are you saying you can fix the neck without removing *any* pins and the only downside is that the hollow side of the spider legs faces up in spider mode?
Yes, pretty much.

>>5963029
Just gave it a try and it worked. Thanks, anon.

>>5963025
At this point, I'm not sure if it matters because she is still a freaky robot spider with strange proportions.

>>5963028
The main two torso pieces that the arms peg into are swapped from how they're supposed to go on the original version of this mold, making it so that the chestpiece can't slide up all the way and hide the neckhole, and also makes it impossible to "properly" transform her into the spider mode.

>>5963023
Tankor/Octane's pretty nice.

>>5963028
The side halves of her chest are swapped. This makes it so that her spider head can't come up as far as on the Animated version. This leaves her chest a bit low, but more importantly a gap between her chest and neck region. As >>5963025 said, it could have been intentional as the new pedipalps are meant to be breasts rather than waist-filler. Either way, you can do the fix relatively easy if you'd rather change it.

>>5963023
I always thought the Sideswipe/Sunstreaker/REd Alert figure was fun. The Masterpieces more or less eclipse Sideswipe and Red Alert, but he's fun.

But it seems like the options are painted windows, or blowing all the paint budget on the hood/roof/doors/etc because the whole car shell is translucent.

I want to buy an Animated Blackarachnia to do this on mine but she's so expensive in the aftermarket...

Pretty sure you can find a junker for cheap, shes pretty common in flea markets always missing a leg.

I hate that fuking paint, it got damaged in storage, we need new datsuns in the next prime war, or at least wing-doors add ons for the cw set.

Ok, which one of you is Fenrir Zero? Because you're doing a wonderful job at TFW.

>>5963142
What did they do? Call Nevermore an autist or something?

>>5963142
You, probably, given that every time someone bring up forum faggotry, it's usually their own mess.

If we ever got a generations leader class blackout, could it be retooled into lugnut? They've got a similar stature, similar chests, bulky as hell, etc.

>>5963168
I think so. The biggest thing is to make sure the "pontoons" or whatever on Blackout that would become his arms could be easily remade into full wings/engines for Lugnut.

Anyone else suddenly get the entire thread again from an auto-update?

>>5963168
I think they could very easily have a re-tool or pretool of either character.

Just have a simple bodyshape that's part superfortress and part attach chopper, have longer wings for lugnut and shorter wings for blackout and leave some way of attaching helicopter blades to to the top for Blackout. Their designs are so similar honestly that I used to think they were the same character.

As a side note though I'd totally cream myself over a chug Blackout.

>>5963175
Yes.

>>5962353
And this is why KO is KO, if you wanted something that didn't have any problems out of the box you should have gone legit. But then again /tfg/ is mostly poorfags.

Blackout is going to be like BM Tankor, where all his toys are shit and when they finally make a good one it's going to be a fucking deluxe or something.

Unpopular/lesser known characters that are known for being huge are suffering

>>5963015
When only Takara released this item in the first place, yeah TAKARA really does win because you wont see this, slipstream, or nightbird at the western shores by Hasbro in probably 20 years.

>>5963199
I've been thinking on getting another Hardhead and transplant him Gen Tankor head and cannon.

>>5963204
We just got a Slipstream in the west.

>>5963199
the first voyager was pretty good

>>5963220
It is a good but not a good X intensifies.

>>5963218
He is talking about the Slipstream that is the Female Seeker. The only deluxe Slipstream in the West was a Funpub variant that was a remold of Prime Starscream with all the problems associated with Funpub and restyling a male character into a female one.

>>5963240
the takara one saved the character

>>5963240

Finally came in after 3 weeks on SAL, question now is who to open first?

>>5963254
Shockwave. He comes with a sexy comic.

>>5963254
doogo

>>5963253
Hasbro probably underestimated demand for Generations figures from retailers and probably made smaller quantities of them expecting more orders for movie toys.

>>5963261
So how does this affect countries that haven't gotten TR yet?

>>5963267
You got them, they are just in the middleman's supply currently.

>>5963259
I love my Neptunia theme as well. Top Nep best Nep.

>>5963258
You mean shota comics. Yeah I was actually thinking of opening him first so I can do that tab head Shockwave with Blurr like in his LG comic.

>>5963270
Phew, that's a relief.
Will Hasbro produce more or should I grab whatever I can?

>>5963282
Basically depends on if they see a re-issue as profitable compared to doing a wave of redecos in terms of sales. Maybe later on.

>>5962455

>>5962472
>has no qc issues

Being completely unposeable is a pretty huge issue.

People call G1 bricks? Even Flywheels had arm articulation. Bad articulation, granted but srtill more than these chunks of solid unposeable brick.

How can kids have ANY fun with something they cant pose?

Bee/Brawn/Seaspray/Cosmos are all getting new molds and there is a good chance for another Gears from Brawn so definitely for Huffer/Pipes.

>>5962475

The molds re-used for CW and Prime Huffer were still good figures

WHile a more G1esque Huffer would be more than welcome, What we've gotten the past few years are still fairly decent

>>5962589

That's not a QC issue.

>>5963328
>Being completely unposeable is a pretty huge issue.
What kind of autistic shit is this?

>>5963333

Yes, it is. It's an exemplary figure.

>>5963412
But is it a good representation of Huffer?

>>5963399

Oh, so they ARE poseable then?

PROTIP: They aren't. At all. That's a GLARING huge design flaw. There's no reason for them to make Pre-K Transformers that can't at least pose at the shoulders.

Or am I the only one who remembers Rescue Roy, 1-2-3 Transformers and Go-Go-Gobots?

>>5963417

If you mean does it look exactly like G1 Huffer, no.

But that doesn't mean it isn't a good figure on it's own merit. He has a great Minicon and interacts with it in a few pretty nice ways.

It's one of the best torso robot molds of the line

>>5963420
Learn to read retard, he said it's not a QC issue, not that it isn't an issue at all.

anyone want a cw scrounge? I couldn't care for him. trade for TR wave 2 stuff or 25 shipped inside the US.

>>5963426
That's Power Core Combiners Huffer. We're talking about Combiner Wars Huffer, the rehead of Thrilling 30 Legends Optimus Prime.

>>5963417
Yes, he isn't accurate to the original design but most CHUG figures aren't either.

it's really impossible to go back to handfeetguns after using PE hands and feet.

Speaking of, did anyone else get loose wrist pins on KO hands and feet?

It's nothing a bit of electrical tape didn't fix but it's annoying.

>>5962700
in my opinion no, all they seem to serve is to advertise the toy only characters and then explain why they aren't in any of the movies by killing them off, along with any ROTF characters that disappeared between it and DOTM(honestly more than anything what's made me give up on the movie continuity is how kill heavy it is towards Cybertronians, they feel too fragile, although that's a problem I have with most continuities outside of the cartoons besides Prime)

For me the chest add ons are more important than the hand-feet, can't stand the crotchless look, I read that the PE chest add on doesn't work for the UW Computron but i made him a crotch plate that stays in place with friction.

>>5963437
It was a lazy easy reuse, a good one will come in time.

>>5963464
Shipping still fucks me over. Why did this have to be released at the worst possible time to get a UW set?

>>5963478
>a good one will come in time
Just like Squeezeplay. Oh, wait.

>>5963481
True for him as well.

>>5963471
That's always been a complaint for me as well, the robots are made of butter in the later movies and break apart if whack them with a stick.

In the first film they did a pretty good job at displaying the decepticons as a threat that only autobots can stop. When Blackout took out that military base in the intro, bullets and rockets were practically bouncing off him. Pretty much the only time I can recall in the first film where Humans "won" against a cybertronian was when they captured Bee, and that was pretty much because he wouldn't fight back.

>>5963475
The PE kit for CW Compy is really just to give Scattershot some details to make him actually look like Computron and not a straight Silverbolt repaint.

So I'm that posted about my ko experience, so I got back from the seller, he claims he bought it from a japanese seller himself and is basically selling it for 75% of what he initially paid for, but clearly demonstrated he had no knowledge of the toy and its authenticity or even what a ko is (and apparently the link to tfw I sent didn't work).

He's agreed to a refund but it was phrased like I'm meant to do the refund myself, so I just asked him how shall we do this and what am I to do with it.

Sending it back is an option but the postage will set me back, gotta play carefully before I unleash the bombshell of a request, they're polite, but not willing to trigger them too much, I kinda want something out of this.

No reply from the other seller on the second delta magnus...with collectors coin (opened the package), guess it's going on ebay

>>5963485
...and that it's mostly redundant on UW Compy because Scattershot is a pretty extensive remold that looks the way he's supposed to out of the box, so there's really no use for the PE plate.

>>5963485
>>5963489
It also gives a new head with swapable faceplate and articulated neck so they can look up, a buffer look and crotches for SentinelTrump to grab.

>>5963504
Heh, I didn't know that.

The people who've I've seen that have it only ever seem to talk about the chest piece

>>5963420
>go-go-gobots
Those were the shit when I was around preschool age. I had one that turned into an orange semi truck.

I distinctly remember playing with a red racecar one at a friend's house, too. It was my first introduction to "dramatic head reveal" gimmicks on TFs (you had to twist the waist for the head to come up). I actually found that same toy for like a dollar at a flea market. I bought it cuz what the hell, it's nostalgic to me.

Compelling, isn't it?

>>5963551
Is clear plastic cheaper tan normal plastic?

>>5963487
What's your account?

>>5963555
no it's about the same cost but it's much more unstable and prone to stressing and breaking.
You don't see it used much on toys in the west because it can break to easily. Takara however is selling to suckers -I mean- collectors who normally don't play as hard with their toys but that doesn't make the issues and weakness of it go away.

>>5963555
All plastics cost the same it's just a issue of it's strength and what not. Yellow use to be as bad as clear plastic but they apparently work things out. They keep claiming they make better gold and clear plastics but I have yet to see any stand the test of time.

As someone who's attempted and given up on the stupid fix, I've found that just taping a little flap of insulating tape on her back to be a far, FAR more simple and elegant solution.

Also, doing the fix loosens her ab crunch articulation and I haven't been able to get it as tight as it was before. It's really not worth doing

Jesus. It's like this was the prototype for TR QC. Does she have rubber bits too?

>>5963585
Yes.
A lot of rubber.
The orange spiderlegs, the claws on her arms, and her kneeplates (which make up like half of her legs) are all rubber.

It's really kind of hilarious how poorly made this toy is and how popular it is because it has boobs

We also haven't had a ton of gold plastic tfs though....

>>5963612
Well for what it's worth I didn't get what I wanted out of that find whole reason I nab it was because I saw Tripticon sticking out of it, When I got the bag home and started poring stuff out I was treated to the horror he was smashed right in the gut with the legs broken off, look like some one took a hammer to it. Also "I hate you" was cut into Ultra Magnus' chest. Many of the broken toys were also melted by some kind of heat.
Heavy shit when down early this year for a TF collector.
