What are the best TR figures

I'm skipping the line mostly but some of them like chromedome seem neat

Anon with the ko red alert here.

So I'm pretty much wrapped up the talks with the ebay seller, basically he just outright said fuck these scammers giving me fake stuff, and gave me 3 options for my "refund"

>Partial refund at 50%
>Send it back, get all money
>Choose between takara united jazz OR takara united warpath (still good market value, or so he said)

Naturally, I chose the 50% partial refund, because that's effectively more than the $25 I was thinking of asking back (I mentioned ko's on ebay were about $50 from china free shipping) and the thing is, yes I wanted the official thing, but this isn't my first experience with a ko, its just annoying I didn't pick up on it sooner and that the front wheelpins are loose which means I'll need to fix them myself.

TLDR today was a good day, looks like being nice worked out better than being an entitled man child screaming "I WANTED TO BUY OFFICIAL BECAUSE IM A COLLECTOR REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE".

Its kinda funny, while the chest peg connection sucks and needs modification his arms are legs are tighter than my ko g2 sideswipe, I guess when I'm bored I can play with these 2, unlike mp hot rodimus who I need to be careful not to damage his chrome.

>this isn't your blog

Whoops, well maybe an anon with the same issue can learn how to negotiate what to do with ko's rather than give a bad mark and get little out of it

I just got Mindwipe in the mail and he's pretty cool. His transformation is unique and he has a good amount of paint compared to the other TR figures. Highbrow is also a fun toy. He's simple yet well designed.

Chromedome is solid.

Hardhead is damn fine.,

>>5964336
How much did you pay for it? Is the issue that you thought it was a legit one or that it was a crappy ko?

I probably would have gone with the Tak Jazz depending on how much you paid for it. I love that mold and the Tak version looks awesome.

>>5964332
So far they all seem pretty neat, hardhead looks beefy and poses well despite lack of waist swivel, skullcruncher would be even better but his most common qc issue is his loose legs so unless you pay a bit more for the takara version (differing face sculpt is subjective) you either endure with a rag doll or get out the pledge, chromedome is very reminiscent or the cw breakdown toys with the transformation so while he looks good he feels very same same, I don't have wolfwire but he sounds good, highbrow seems ok but his transformation is just like scourges since he is a retool (but he isn't classed as a shellformer apparently) and blurr and hardhead are basically the same toy minus extra wings.

Mindwipe had rubber wing tips and bathead so if you worry about longevity there's that/.

>>5964332
WeirdWolf is delicious and my fave

>>5964336
KO's always drive me nuts

Even when they tell you it's legit it could still be a KO

I bought Tracks for cheap lately off amazon and it's not going to be here for a while so I'm here twiddling my thumbs going "gee I hope that thing I'll get in december isn't a Takasa Tomy product or anything"

>>5964341
I think Hardhead and Wolfwire are my favorites. I added Nonnef's feet for Hardhead to I've him better proportions and Wolfwire is just very sleek, not much kibble except his wolf head and that's always supposed to be on his back.

They're all pretty great. I'm really enjoying TR.

>>5964339
I might get those two

I'm typically not a fan of "Cybertronian blank" but That tank mode looks great

>>5964340
I paid $99.99aud, had ebay 10%off so minus that.

I was more burnt that it wasn't listed as a ko and the box was tattered despite being listed as "new" (seller claimed it came like that), and since I can get a ko from china free shipping for $50...you can see where I'm getting at).

I'm glad I'm not the diehard I used to be, I may of been stupid and taken the full refund but lose money shipping it back, at the end of the day still cheaper than buying a used one from mandarake for 10,000yen and dealing with god knows what.

Its just that chest peg that can't lock in and wheel pins that are my main concerns now, since he's essentially a toy and not a collectors piece I'm just gonna fuck around with him for a bit, got any ideas on what to stuff into the pins so they hold still but still roll, I can almost push them out of their sockets

>>5964343
Well I had a g2 bumblebee from an auction claiming it was real, and it sure was, infact I used him as the benchmark for checking boxes (seems ko's have a slight glossier surface overall than ko's).

As for tracks you can get him for 6000yen or so, seems people are just trying to get rid of him, his mold sister roadrage is going even cheaper.

THAT said do you like rubber tires or do you prefer longer lasting plastic, because the takasa tony tracks has rubber tires, a slight improvement, one anon here said it was pretty good overall as well.

I honestly see ko's like hasbro toys, you either get it just right or its utter shit that you might want to swap, in my case its the later but I'm a bit hardy, I did fix my ratchets on my cw skylynx

>>5964348
The face is a tough thing on hardhead, with takara's you get his recognizable face from headmasters, problem is it can come off as mushy, you're gonna have to look up HD rez images and decide for yourself.

Even though I own a takara hardhead I honestly like the hasbro face more, it lacks character, but kinda makes him look more like a killer robot than the Sylvester Stallone-ish face takara's has, I just lucked out seeing which pre-order would arrive first

>>5964349
I really prefer to just have authentic products.

I have that "If I'm going to get KOs I might as well just get 3Ps" mindset that rapes my wallet.

About your first point though, that's always the real stinger. Like 99% of sellers that know it's KO will tell you it's KO, but once in a while you'll get someone with no ill will or anything selling a KO that they think is an authentic product.

>>5964353
Same here, its just the fact (aside from getting the bland anime color version) its an old mold, takara wasn't getting my money or support either way so I'm a bit more open on ko's in this case.

If they ever do a reissue via hlj or whatever I might buy the real deal and keep the ko's on open display rather than be extra cautious in handling them, I'm still pissed that the closest thing to a reissue was a ttmall exclusive

Despite having the old ultra class, this is why I bought the mp.

Especially the robot mode, its like like a reverse mp, all of the attention is put into the robot mode (but to their credit, beast modes are hard for convertible robots)

>>5964362
The beast mode for Primal isn't even bad aside from the feet. You could easily convince someone that you just bought a weird Gorilla figure and all the lines and shit are just articulation points.

>>5964367
>optimus primal
>weird gorilla toy

MONEY OUT FOR HARAMBE

They should have included swappable "beast face" face to resemble that stupid bullshit on the original Primal toy

They usually love giving nods to stupid little features like that.

Hi again, ko anon, I mentioned I also had a second delta magnus come in as well if you recall.

Well I did contact the seller, they finally responded, they're gonna ship me a postage label and all I gotta do is post it off back to them, and I get store credit as a thank you for my honesty.

I'm too much of a moral fag, but hay, I bug these guys all the time, its about time I do something nice other than ask stupid questions like cancelling sentinel prime for astrotrain

>>5964378
I would have loved this. Even as a kid I hated OP's dumb gorilla face. I want a more realistic one. I loved the looks of the older toys' beast modes.

>>5964378
You mean the mutant face?

I'm surprised there isn't something akin to mp ultra magnus's white prime head under the face plate connector, its just a hollow horrific empty slot, even just a pair of red bug eyes would of worked

I was actually talking about the mutant face gimmick (I forgot what it was called), but you make a good point.

I think having a swappable realistic face for their beast modes would be a pleasing option for people who are interested in more realitic looking animals

>>5964387
I think they blew their stupid callback gimmick budget on that metal mace that was a limited preorder exclusive.

>>5964332

Pretty much any of the Deluxes are good other than the QC issues and Hasbro Blurr/Scourge. Not because they're bad, but because their color schemes are lazy and poor.

QC issues known so far:

-Skullcruncher's loose thigh swivels/leg ball joints. Fixable with futureshine.
-Weirdwolf's cockpit hinges can break. Can't do anything about it, it either will break or it won't, it's a factory problem.
-Scourge/Highbrow's neck port is a bit floppy. This is due to it being raised out of the body. Can be fixed but I dunno how and it's not really a problem given you can still pose the head just fine.

For the Voyagers, the Astrotrain/Sentinel molds are good, but the Astrotrain version can have loose gun issues when you're plugging them into the wings. Skip Galvatron unless you don't mind his facemask.

Leaders, Blaster mold is good. Soundwave version has paint rub for the gold on his chest though. Skip PM Prime unless you REALLY like his look. He's not a bad mold, just, really fucking ugly looking.

Legends, pretty much anything but the cat and bird cassette mold is good. Cat mold is ugly and shitty, especially the Ravage version which is made of shitty, bendy plastic, and the bird mold is meh just because it's not very interesting or good. Wheelie can have some tabbing issues in car mode, but it's a case by case basis. Mine tabs just fine.

He doesn't look bad at all in Gorilla mold. What did people expect, some sort of seamless plastic with no panel lines? Thats not gonna happen, unless you coat the whole figure in rubber skin, at which point he's not going to be a transformer anymore, because he'll be encased in rubber.

Shit, I don't even like BW that much, but I totally am going to buy Harambe Prime just to have a cool gorilla figure hanging around my desj.

>>5964387
Oh yeah. The battle mask would have been sweet too.

>>5964397
Yeah I really find it odd that people complain about it.

Wanting a realistic gorrilla is a fine complaint I guess, but what we got couldn't possibly look any better until the toy industry adopts nanomachines

>>5964397
There are still some issues but even I can forgive them, the hinge joints (a throw back to the old toy, or perhaps a better option than rubber seemless joints?), the fact alot of the robot mode sticks out from the cracks of the beast mode (it can't get any better though, not without unnecessary kibble), he's also quite small, and not as jam packed as the old ultra class.

I bought him for the robot mode, but the beast mode is sufficient to least be recognizable and not something I'd want to hide

>>5964399
I mean it looks great in regards to looking like the show model and honestly it's pretty impressive in that regards. I don't mind any of the panel lines or seams or anything. I just want a face like >>5964387

Although I was considering just getting him and doing some modding on whichever face plate I hate the most.

http://toyhax.com/symbols-for-tf/2177-cartoon-sloppy-symbols.html

This is a pretty funny product
I have to wonder what kind of cartoon accuracyfags in this world exist to want to buy poorly animated logo stickers

>>5964399
>Wanting a realistic gorrilla is a fine complaint I guess

If he looked realistic though, he wouldn't look like the show. Which is the point of the MP line, to get as close to show accuracy as they can within reason.

I can see why people might want a realistic gorilla mode, but that wouldn't ever happen for an MP unless they changed the direction of the line or did this as a one-off figure. And that would only piss off everyone who wanted him to look accurate to the show, so it's a lose/lose situation because you can't really have both at the same time. A simple faceplate change wouldn't change how the rest of it isn't "realistic gorilla-ey" enough.

>>5964404
Well mp shockwave does come with a sticker sheet with 2 types of decepticon logos on it with one being just a cleaner version of the sloppy animation version.

People want options you know, I mean...I sadly just watched one of emgo's reviews and he basically just cried "I BUY REPRO LABELS FOR ALL RID2015 FIGURES BECAUSE OF A LACK OF PAINT".

Not even takara's versions fix what the reprolabels fix, I don't know why he keeps bothering

>>5964405
>A simple faceplate change wouldn't change how the rest of it isn't "realistic gorilla-ey" enough.
It would have been enough for me. But I understand what you mean.

>>5964407
>I sadly just watched one of emgo's reviews
I feel sorry for you anon

>>5964407
I know and I respect that choice, I'll never complain about options.

I just find the idea of someone sticking sloppy logo decals on his toys and finally being content that his collection looks exactly like it did on the show to be amusing. Like they were the thing he was missing all his life.

>>5964409
>PAAAALM IN YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAACE

I wish he knocked me out and I forgot about the experience when he said that

>>5964407
>I don't know why he keeps bothering

He probably has the money to do it. I mean, shit, if I had a lot of money I'd totally buy a ton of dumb shit I don't need.

Beyond the dumb shit I already buy that I don't need, I mean.

>>5964408

Yeah. It would be a cool addition, but I just wouldn't see it happening, and even if they did it it'd probably not be enough for someone else. I'm just happy they included the closed faceplate. I always hated the lips-through-the-faceplate thing he had going on, it looked ridiculous to me. Like the animators just couldn't accept that a faceplate was the mouth on a robot or something.

I do get that it was probably to give him more expressiveness, but eh, plenty of mouthless characters in fiction have lots of expressiveness already...

Well there are people who like accuracy to insane degrees.

You know what would be funny, if reprolabels made 2 sticker sheets for pic related, I would be in hysterics if the hasbro one got stickers to look more like the takara and the takara got stickers to look more like the hasbro.

I really, REALLY, want to see someone post that here and tell me how great either option is, its dumb but I would die a happy man if reprolabels and a collector were both that retarded.

Is it bad to wish to see a double fail?

>>5964413
Is there any reviewer out there that isn't cringey enough to watch their videos?

I mostly watch optibotimus because I like his light setting more than I hate how he talks

I tried watching emgo because he posts 3P more frequently but man I can't fucking stomach him

Wotafa is cool but I don't know moonspeak sooo

>>5964418
That's a good question and the answer is now.

I watch optibotimus videos because despite the fact that he talks like a moron and likes to mistransform things and then complain about it (his bruticus video makes me want to strangle a dog), he at least knows how to record a good video.

I only really watch videos for sstuff I'm not certain about getting though.

I watch a ton of reviewers because most all of them are usually "Whatever 10/10 figure of the year" and aren't really reviewers but showcases. But to get a truly good look at a figure you usually need to consult multiple videos, and some catch things others don't.

tl;dr Watch everything, form your own opinion. Mute them if you really can't stand the voices.

>>5964428
Oh no, I don't watch reviews for their opinion, just to see how the toy looks from all angles and how is the transformation.

>>5964418
None are immune to some sort of personal complaint, I have a thing for each, alot of of emgo's opinions are pretty close to mine so I can relate to his opinions, the sketches at the end while kiddish remind me of robbert184 of gundamreviews.tk so its kinda nostalgic, optibotimus has better video quality so I tend to ignore his babbling and patronizing.

I used to like peugh but his ham handing is becoming worse and worse, if life is giving you shit stop, think, and don't push it out to your viewers, take a fucking break.

Its an opinion thing really, like how people pick on tjomega for basically being the classic nerd sterotype (I like him the most actually but only because he was the first tf reviewer I watched)

Did someone want watermarks?

Too bad, none here!

Well shoot. It happened. The yellow part of the hinge on WW's back broke. Looking at it it it looks like he just doesn't have enough clearance for the yellow part if you look at it with his beast head flipped back. So if there any kind of blemish or ridge that gets hung up there you're basically prying it apart and it just snaps. Luckily the red parts seem fine and has plenty of room. I don't like relying on clear plastic, but I don't see any reason it should break.

Good spotting, wonder if its an additional accessory or a mistake.

>>5964523
Looks gr8, the coneheads are the shit and I've always wanted an oficial Thrust, but isn't that mold going to be totally off scale now that MPs have become 2/3rds the size?

>>5964514
That mode looks a lot better in those colours. It's giving me a real SDF-1 vibe. The lion mode is a bit weak but I've given up on there ever being a Leo-Prime with a decent lion mode and good articulation.

>>5964509
>>5964511
The paintjob on that looks amazing, actually. How much will it cost?

>>5964529
Not really, it scales well with mp shockwave and mp soundwave who line up find with mp-10.

Its the autobot cars that are the problem, they're scaled to FIT INTO mp10's trailer, and ultra/magnus as well (and those too are fucking tanks)

>>5964532
Premium collectables list it as $99.95aud currently, sneaky considering free shipping starts at $100 on the dot.

I'm waiting on hlj to start listing so I can just merge it with my big ass packages

>>5964529
for the non-cars they seem to be going off robot mode scale.

The seekers are all small planes but in robot mode they scale up perfectly with Prime's robot mode

>>5964512

>>5964313
>make new thread

>not posting link to new thread in old thread

Why?

>>5964514
It's mostly a repaint, but also a VERY slight remold. They changed the cockpit on the shuttle mode. The original Alpha Trion had that weird "Victory Leo" Lion-shaped cockpit lookin thing.

>>5964542
They always forget that, I'd say it's more important to do that than link to the previous thread, but they seem to think otherwise.

MP Jetfire when?

I want to see if they'll try and retool the seeker mold into being able to do a gerwalk.

>>5964543
Looks more like they painted the titan master cockpit than anything new to it mold wise, If they're still keeping the same plastic types that blue bit is all that's left that shows what it used to be, otherwise they drowned it.

They even done it so it looks more integrated with the alt mode rather than "LOOK AT ME, I OPEN"

>>5964550
They can't do that for jetfire anon, for a start none of it resembles a seeker, the current mp seeker legs can't bend back far enough, and jetfire is bigger in comparison.

An mp jetfire will have to be an all new mold, and I'll welcome this

>>5964545
So Takara's only releasing one Legends figure in January, and February? That blows, even it if makes sense with all the movie toy re-releases.

>>5964526
It's painted, that bit should be either red, or white so it might be tossed in.

>you will NEVER get transformer crossover toys with famous movie and tv show vehicles

>>5964562
Gives them time to plan up what to do with the next legends figures.

Remember, we in hasbro territory are getting black shadow and sixshot, I imagine overlord getting a super ginrai like retool depending on what hasbro does with him

>>5964570
What about 3p?

We already got evangelion and hello kitty abominations as well as star wars and marvel

>>5964572
Overlord is still a long way to go for them, it should come out either along the time we get it (from June to August), or much later if they need to retool it.

Plus we're all forgetting something very important. Their Overlord is probably coming out at the same time they're releasing their God Bomber.

>>5964575
That's if they do it seeing how the rumor mill is inconsistent.

Gonna be fun though, I doubt hasbro's one would be compatible with the takara one, either way I see retooling on that as well

>>5964577
We're not really sure if Hasbro's even making one. Sure, they're making "Iron Apex" but everything points to that being a deluxe, and including PM Prime's upgrade in a set with a bunch of other figures would piss most people off.

Enjoyment of Thew may vary with people, but watching him feels like talking to a good friend. He can at selling me on anything.

Personally I don't mind g1 accuracy, unless it's TOO accurate, like mp ironhide, ratchet, inferno or grapple who all have large areas of flat detailess panels

The ROTF voyager was known for its transformation which involved splitting the fuselage right down the middle and folding the halves around the nose, a plane transformation scheme that only works for Doritoscream.

This reduced the under-kibble in plane mode but unfortunately the hands were left hanging out in the rear.

The 2007 movie Legends are neat little figures, but the ones in that auction are actually fake. The fact that they all come from Hong Kong for such a cheap price is already a huge red flag to begin with, and if you look at the pics and compare them to the original figures (pic related is the only one I could find of all the original ones together) you can easily tell that the plastic color in most of them is substantially different. Additionally, they all lack the copyrighted Autobot / Decepticon insignias. So no, don't buy them, unless if you want to support child labor and own copied molds with sub-par quality.

You're better off indivitually searching for the ones that interest you around Ebay, the original ones are still pretty cheap:

I own Hardhead and Alpha Trion so far.
Hardhead is a delightful little dude with a lot of character. Highly recommend. He looks great in either mode.
A3 looks fucking amazing in robot mode (which is what I display him in anyway), but his beast and vehicle modes are both really underwhelming (sword for a tail is not a good look, for starters).

I'd highly recommend A3 if you're just planning on displaying him, because that robot mode is the tits. But if you want to PLAY with him, you're better off picking someone else.

>>5964871
Because it's quite evident if you look at his listings.

>If he looked realistic though, he wouldn't look like the show. Which is the point of the MP line, to get as close to show accuracy as they can within reason.

There's becoming a divide in the fandom based on this. Early MPs where more of an idealized version of the character, balancing a realistic alt-mode with a robot mode that mixed the toy look , cartoon look, and even hints of the comic illustrations. This continued until around Bumblebee/Ultra Magnus. Since then, there's been more of a concentrated effort to better animation accuracy, keeping in line with other Japanese collector's lines like Soul of Chogokin.

You see this in the growing 3P MP market, where a lot of companies are sticking to that earlier aesthetic compared to stuff like Shockwave or Inferno.

>>5964509
...why is this triggering people?

So I went to Walgreen's today to see if they'd restocked their TR stuff. They scanned the barcode on the respective peg the TR stuff was on a few weeks ago and they said they had 3 on order that would probably be coming later this week.

What figures could those be? 3 out of the wave 2 case of 4, 3 brainstorms, or, god forbid, some RID warrior wave (not sure if they share the same bar code or not)

>>5964968

probably as some exclusive.

What was the first example of a super heavy retool between transformers? Was it Generations Springer/Sandstorm?

>>5964968

It depends how "super heavy" you mean.The remold between K-9/Wolfang was pretty extensive, I think the only thing they share are upper arms and a head; beast parts and remaning robot parts are totally different. Going back further, you could argue tha a lot of the minibots from g1 are extensive remolds.

Literally the worst Titans Return deluxe we've seen until now, if not even the only Titans Return deluxe that actually looks bad. It feels more like a return to the terrible Combiner Wars molds, with the blocky aesthetics and empty arms and legs and the lackluster paintjob, which is especially bad in comparison to all the effort put into the other figures we're getting. It's like a sad reminder that CHUG is great again but was definitely endangered last year.

Is this guy worth the $15.99? His robot mode looks all cool and wolf-like.

>>5965107
He's an alright enough figure.

Just be aware that he has a bit of difficulty standing freely because wheels that are able to freely rotate make up his heels.

>>5965107

He's ok but flawed. Definitely the weakest of all of the RiD Decepticons.

>>5965082
But how else would it be described? The truck part turns into a complete working body with his self-awareness and such while the car carrier bit can be removed from him and not feel like getting ripped in half.

>hollow where?
Almost every single figure that wasn't an air vehicle, AKA the vast majority, had hollow legs. Most of them also had hollow arms.

>poorly painted where?
Yeah, where did the paint go? Certainly not to anywhere beyond the torso and head for most releases.

>aesthetically unpleasing where?
What about "make everything look like an oversized Cybertron scout class figure" levels of unpleasing aesthetics?

I'm not even a GEE-WUN kind of guy but holy fuck, how can it be there are still so many people in denial about how much of an engineering mess CW was? It's like an entire decade of experience was thrown out the window by Hasbro for the sake of budget constrains.

I don't see any white Optimus Prime here.

Are the RID Legion, Warrior and Mini-Con vs. Pack class the only figures made for adult collectors? All the other larger figures seem like shitty one steps or three steps.


Also, does anyone here have any of the Titan Changers. Imagine my shock when I saw they actually made those shitty hollow titans transform.

>>5965127
Same way that you don't know that the skeletons are inside you until it is too late to stop them.

Anyone find that Walgreen's Brainstorm yet?

>>5965001
I'll get it if takara does a Lightfoot variation of it.

>>5965125
I don't see how hollow legs are a problem if they're hidden. All the TR deluxes save Mindwipe have the exact same hollow leg issue except that they're also hidden in a similar fashion to CW.

Except that one of the complaints for TR was that it traded paint for engineering? How the fuck can you shit on CW for lacking paint and praise TR when it's even more lacking in paint?

That's not even an explanation. That barely counts as an opinion.

I'm not sure I would even put Legion and Mini Cons in there.

I've only bought the Decepticons of the line. And Sideswipe. I've bought all of the Decepticons released so far.

I fucking love Triple Changers, but I've heard the mold suffers from QC issues.

>>5965161
Just... don't. Don't even bother.

>>5965161
No. Just get the Blitzwing or Doubledealer versions if you want that mold since they didn't fix the issues. Although there is a newer tank/jet triple-changer mold in TR so might get that one instead.

>>5965135
It's a shape they can't do any rereleases of the dinobots.

>>5965179
Oh yeah.

>>5965171
Can mold loss or degradation even happen anymore? everything's done on computer now, they must index them all.

>>5965185
At this point, yeah if worst came to worst they could just recreate the molds.

The Dinobot molds (all five) just went missing and were never seen again though.

>>5965185
Still can, molds only have a short lifespan before they must be replaced.

A computer can't account for the molds being bent out of shape due to excessive use, so some toys may come out funny near a molds lifespan

>>5965187
Weird. I wonder how people would feel about a remake mold of them, like some of those original starwars figures have.

>>5965185
Is everything really done with computers now or is that just a rumor? Any proof? Did Hasbro/Takara release some kind of video explaining how they design TFs? I always found it was a great mystery wrapped in many layers of deception.

>>5964755

The mp11 mold is still far from perfect.

Aside from qc issues that are assembly faults like mp ramjet I noticed the hasbro seekers are on the decline, my mp thundercracker is literally perfect, smooth but tight enough to function as intended and I bought him second hand, acidstorm holds uyp second best because I bought him loose and shipping him from another country.

My starscream on the other hand which is the only hasbro mp I bought brand new is showing signs, while stuff like the leg requiring almost 2 people to pull apart from jet mode could be an assembly issue the fact that the plastic bit on the right side of his jet canopy which makes his robot chest has too much plastic on one side meaning I have to force the entire chest assembly apart JUST to slide it in or out.

My theory which may apply to takara vs hasbro qc myths, takara may be willing to change molds more often which will cost them in the long run but keep the toys free from mold degradation, while hasbro may run the molds down until you can see the molds beginning to crack.

Same factories, yes, same toys, yes, and yes they do replace said molds with fresher duplicates, I just honestly suspect hasbro may prefer to keep existing molds going alot longer, seeing how they put out alot more product to meet world wide demand but for less.

>>5965107
i'm not sure he is, i own him and he's really hard to balance. his legs are incredibly flimsy and his mouth doesn't come painted in

>>5965212
Seeing all the MP seekers together makes me sad.

They've gotten in too deep now, they're never going to do a seeker v3 mold with a chest that stays together and actual feet

>>5965107
Fucking awful.

>>5965056
Screamer and Paralon are TRU exclusives I believe, I ordered them together for the discount.

>>5965050
The little pegs keeping his shoulders against his chest were the worst and got a little stress damage just from pulling them apart. I even chilled him in my freezer before trying to transform him.

>My theory which may apply to takara vs hasbro qc myths, takara may be willing to change molds more often which will cost them in the long run but keep the toys free from mold degradation, while hasbro may run the molds down until you can see the molds beginning to crack.

Its really just more likely that Hasbro's run is much larger so QC mistakes slip through far more easily. Takara services an island; a densely packed one, yes, but still an island. Hasbro covers most of the rest of the world that gets Transformers. AS hard as it seems to find Hasbro MPs, they probably are produced in exponentially larger numbers than takara's. Due to how muddied the whole distrobution system is, though, a lot of those probably end up in flux; sitting in warehouses, or sold to TRUs outside the US where they might rot on store shelves. Some people reported seeing Hasbro MP-10s sitting at MSRP in some Asian countries before Hasbro and takara reissued it.

Just a week ago, people began reporting the Hasbro MP Grimlock release from around aoE popping up at an obscure chain of closeout stores for just $35.

>>5965280
Oh believe me, I know. I bought it for one month, the transformers box, then had to fight to stop them from charging me for the next month's box. It was the biggest gyp; half Hot Topic clearance garbage, half promo garbage they were probably getting paid to include. I felt like a total chump for having given them money at all, when I could have just spent that money on a figure and gotten something I really wanted.
They pay youtubers really well, like thousands of dollars, to shill their products. It's all a scam.

That's the thing, they scanned the barcode on the pegs where the TR deluxes were, $20 price point. They have one steps on a separate peg. I'm just trying to figure out if RID warriors are that same price at walgreens and if they're just buying those for the peg.

>searching for Tarantulas figs

Why do they always give Beast Wars characters vehicle modes when they're depicting their life on Cybertron? If Ravage, Laserbeak, Skullcruncher and all the rest can have Cybertronian beast modes, why can't they?

Those have cybertronian beasts as robot modes, not altmodes. Thats why it doesn't apply to Tarantulas, the best Tarantulas you can get is the transmetal, at least until/if we get the IDW update.

>>5964460
Been wanting this mold for quite some time but I'm glad I waited so I can get it in better colors.

>>5964469
Same as this one, while it's not entirely movie-accurate, I remember a lot of people saying that this was fun Megatron movie figure but alas I skipped on its original release due to the icky green color it was molded in. At least now it's painted properly with all the proper gold accents I could have asked for.

MegaBlocks can work pretty well.

Looking over the shadowed botcon pics of Overlord, I noticed the little jet for him seems to be different from Black Shadow's. Just by looking at the image, the Overlord version has standard wings for the tiny thing, while the Black Shadow version has inverted wings.

So I guess that's another thing the Overlord version will change, along with the chest, the arms, the helmet, and the face for the TM (and maybe they'll toss a second TM since it would be very stupid of them not to.

>>5965634

I don't think it'd happen, but it'd be nice if it did.

>>5965714
We'll see what they do. I do like that (if they include the extra head) you can store a TM in the jet cockpit while in robot mode.

Unrelated to Overlord, I kind of wish they'd done a bit more for Black Shadow. They did a lot so most of his features were out there, but that pathetic gun just awful for him. I'm passing on him, and getting Overlord.

>>5965721

I might pick up BS. I dunno. I already own a Hexatron, and I'll be getting an MMC Overlord, but no one's done a Black Shadow in any "big" size like that and he could serve as my 3rd for the Phase Six group.

Didn't we hit bump limit a while ago?

Got Galvatron today.

I think my favorite mode of his is actually the spaceship mode. It's arranged in a way to appear really massive, especially when put side-to-side to the Astrotrain mold.

Robot mode is... close to being good but flawed. The mask doesn't look too bad when you use Apeface so the purples kinda blend together, but it's still really limited. His cannon was loose on his right arm though it fits well on his left arm. And his feet, while super articulated, are also on the loose side.

I really hope Alpha Trion ends up being better.

Anyone here come up with custom backstories for your TFs?

I like to have Psycho-Orb and Bound Rogue have a Depthcharge/Rampage relationship and were two Micromasters who went into stasis long ago before making it to earth where they were awoken and reformatted to have beast modes. Hence why they have Autobot and Decepticon insignias despite being Beastformers.

I also pretend BW Drill Bit is a mass produced Predacon trooper unit

>>5965829
My backstory for having ROTF Mindwipe and Skystalker in my CHUG collection is that they crashed through an interdimensional anomaly into the CHUG universe, and essentially function as a student master duo. Later, Mindwipe is defeated and captured by Galvatron (who is the main antagonist in my headcanon) and then reformatted by the Avatar of Unicron into TR Mindwipe.

>>5965835
I take it Skystalker becomes Vorath?

>>5965838
Nope. Skystalker escapes unscathed (in due part thanks to Mindwipe) but is forced to watch his former teacher maim and kill in the name of the enemy he once fought. Vorath is one of the headmasters in service of Unicron, along with Nucleon, Fracas, Terri-bull, and all the other Decepticon headmasters. The main difference here is that while Mindwipe before the reformat already had mind control abilities, his new form forces him to rely on Vorath, who also works as a leash to ensure he never defects from Unicron.

>>5965840
Also: the rubber wings are explained as a natural loudspeaker for Mindwipe, who can project high pitches of sound to disorientate his enemies. This is implemented to match Soundwave, who is introduced as a multipurpose assassin who uses his mind reading and sonic manipulation abilities to hunt enemy Headmasters.

Yes, I'm autistic.

>>5965350
>Why do they always give Beast Wars characters vehicle modes
The boring real-world answer is because they're making them as redecos of existing toys, which are all vehicles. Beast Wars seems like a niche as it is (Hasbro isn't even putting out ANY BW for it's anniversary this year), so cybertronian Beast Wars is probably a niche within a niche in term of getting new mold made for it.

All the same, they do make the odd mechanical beast toy (Insecticons, the RID Decepticons), I would not be against getting some of them redecoed into BW references.

>>5965829
I've done a few over the years. Back in the day, I made up a big story with all the non-show BW characters. I also came to like the idea of G2 characters having "superpowers" in the Funpub comics, so I've created powers for all my CHUG G2 guys. I've also come up with ways for G2 Laser Prime & Combat Hero Prime as well as GDO Tank, deluxe purple tank, and stealth bomber Megatrons to all co-exist in a G2 universe.

Different anon here. Which configuration of Aerialbots did you get? And how are you enjoying your Stunticon?

Considering that finding W1 alone is a pain in the ass I'm going with the Alpha Bravo configuration. Oddly enough it's very easy to find Brake-neck here but I'd like to cut down on number of repaints per combiner so I'm going with Offroad on Menasor.

Dragstrip is quite fun, enjoying his unusual alt mode. His leg transformation is quite wobbly though, is this normal?
