Looks like a decent enough elbow bend to me.

>>5977286
Thanks for the pic now I changed my mind. Do you think he may be able to do more dynamic looking poses?

>>5977310

Probably. He looks fairly standard as articulation goes, and his big shoulderpads can move out of the way of the arms.

>>5977325
His hands are really nice with all those joints. Is he limited release like Kultur?

>>5977391

No idea. For that matter, I don't know whats up with Kultur either. Did they skimp on his release or something? That shit sold out everywhere damn near instantly, which seems really funny.

>>5977419
Sold out quick because his pre-order slots were quite small, supposedly.

>>5977426

Hope they open up a lot more of'em later. I didn't even get a chance to PO him he was gone so fast.

I really like that Roadbuster but I'm not in the mood to pay that price.

>>5977201
I really want to wait and see how Hasbro's Overlord looks like first but fuck me that is tempting.

>>5977667
Only problem I'll have with hasbro's is that overlord will be the same size as super ginrai. Though overlord will have a more toy sculpt than idw sculpt.

>>5977667
I'd just buy it and if you don't like it you can just sell it back for the same price anyway.

>>5977666

I want to see an MMC Broadside with superchunk proportions like that Roadbuster.

>>5977667
I'm on the same boat as you, but man the pictures from tfcc of the mold doesn't look anything as comparable as Carnifex. Especially if you're into the MTMTE/IDW look, but shit son the price difference is probably like $140.

>>5977674
I'm fine with that really. He'll scale (slightly) better with combiners.
>>5977675
There's also the bit where I don't exactly have $200 to spend.
>>5977691
Knowing Hasbro they'll retool the everloving shit out of Black Shadow to make Overlord. There's really no telling how the end product will look like based off of him.

But either way, there's also the fact that MMC have yet to do Black Shadow, while Hasbro are already a step ahead despite being later in the game. I need my big bad Phase Sixer trio.

>>5977700
So far, the Overlord version of the molds is likely to change the chest, the mini mega jet, plane wings, whole arms, helmet, titan master face, and maybe add an extra titan master. All these changes are related to the plane, I doubt the tanks getting any alterations.

Related to that, I love how goofy Gigatank turned out.

>>5977708
He needs to have 3 titan masters so he can rotate faces out, idw, g1, fucked up face. That way you can always have two masters in his chest at all times

>>5977691

Are his hands just molded in permanent fists? I know bitching about mainline TF's is kinda pointless but you can't tell me Hastak couldn't afford a single hinge.

>>5977682

I just wish FP would reissue assaulter. Dude's perfect but scalped to high hell on ebay. I would like an alternative though.

>>5977908
At least one 3P will do this if Hasbro doesn't (and they're likely not to).

>>5978179
It's amazing how there are 3 combiners in that pic but only 1 of them is any good.

>>5978190

Thats not amazing, thats par for the course. Most 3P combiners are shit. It's just really hard to get a combiner right.

>>5978342

So which 3P combiners are genuinely good?

>>5978032
Scalped? He's below retail on ebay if you tried.

>>5978476

Pretty much Feral Rex and the GT Devy are the only ones I ever really see praise for. Some people like Quantron but it apparently is pretty shitty to transform, has some breakage problems atop that, and looks like shit.

>>5978476
Feral Rex, GT Devastator, Quantron if you dont mind the nosecone figure being a fiddly fucking mess, and the TFC Poseidon so far is looking promising, but as we all know, TFC fucks up with the last 1 or two releases for a combiner ruining the whole set.

>>5978476
I actually really like both Green Giant and Quantron.

Feral Rex is the best by far though.

>>5978476
Feral Rex is universally liked. Gravity Builder is (AFAIK) solid as a rock, though the stylization may not be your cup of tea. Guardia is fucking amazing. FP Menasor is fiddly to transform but solid when combined.

MMC does it again with Carnifex/Overlord. I have never been this impressed with a 3rd party figure since Hexatron.

Its pretty much the next step up in terms of quality. The hype is real and if yours is on the way get hype.

>>5978866

How the fuck did you get yours so fast.

>>5978868
TCP.

Payed when they got it in stock and shipped the same day.

>>5978868

TCP is GOAT for turn around and shipping smaller packages. 2 day priority and same day shipping is compatible to an Amazon Prime's shipping and you get it for free over $150.

>>5978877

Well, post your thoughts, critiques, whatever. Post more pics. Give us something.

>>5978881
>>5978866
Yeah, gimmie more deets. How well does he hold his gun/how well does the shield stay on his shoulder? Do his hips pop off or was that dude a couple threads ago just talking shit? Does he feel sturdy/well balanced? Can he slavsquat? Basically are there any curveballs that would make me regret dropping $200 on a piece of plastic?

Man, he looks nice though.

I figured most reviewers are already gushing over it as all I'm doing is sugar coating it.

>>5978912
Gun and shield clips on perfectly fine.

His hips don't pop off like the preview video.

He can squat but not as great as Vos/Cynicus.

My only regret is having no display room on my desk at the moment.

He's a wonderful toy that hits the right balance and fun. He's neither heavy nor too light. Lots of ratchets, lots of possibilities and lots of playability.

You get your moneys worth at 200 dollars or even more than that I seriously can't recommend him high enough.

Hey /toy/, hope I'm posting this in the right place. If not, kick my ass in the right direction.

I was recently sorting through my attic and found a small handful of transformers from my once huge collection. Resparked my interest and decided to finally buy myself the grail I always wanted, a ghost Starscream fig. Always loved this shit head in the show, and even though he's a KO, I'm really pleased with him. Glad to finally have him in my now tiny collection.

Would you guys approve?

>>5979131

What SS mold is that? Classics?

Alright 3P General, which MP Megatron is the best?

>>5979140

Despotron.

There was a leak of what was maybe a Takara prototype of V.2 megs so check out those images and see if the aesthetic gels with you.

It's painfully g1. Complete with big diaper and all. I don't like the way it looks.

Bold Forms Gladius. Yet to be released. Their first release was a huge pile of trash so just watch reviews first.

>>5979164

Did they just remold shockwave? Those legs are like the exact same thing.

>>5979138
Googling "Henkei Starscream" will get you what you're looking for Anon. Super affordable figure, especially if you dont mind KO's, totally over the moon with mine.

>>5979170
Are you high? Because it's painfully obvious that they're completely different. Just because they're similarly shaped doesn't mean that they share the same mold. By that logic, all bicycle tires should be as edible and delicious as a freshly cooked pizza.

>>5979168
Oh yeah. I don't buy or even pre-order many third party figures without watching reviews.

I just like that it triple changes between his two most common alt modes. I think that's fun.

>>5979148
Also, I actually really liked MP Laserwave. It handled the design well and it's a fun MP to mess around with. I remember a lot of people complaining about the simplistic transformation but, I mean it's Shockwave. What more needs to be done for that kind of transformation?

>>5979147

Well, it evens out enough when i take into account the credit on bbts

>>5979202

I was complaining about build quality. A lot of people were having serious stress issues with the leg tabs while others couldn't get the legs to stay tabbed.

A rarer issue was the head needing to be be uncomfortably yanked out of his chest which caused some people to take their heads clean off.

He can't into dynamic poses as well as Quakeblast/wave.

Aesthetically I take issue with the too bright lavender color and the tiny, tiny feet.

>>5979154

Gotta pay for that expedited shipping man.

Also ordered myself a KBB MP10-V. Anyone have one of those? How are they?

>>5979212

Just a PSA for future Carnifex owners. Do not try to figure out the shoulder system yourself. Educate yourself and watch a review because its not worth an hour of your time.

Regardless enjoy!

>>5979324
Is it just very fiddly or?

>>5979326
Nah just a lot of tabs and loop scoop pull thing.

Its not so complicated once you figure it out but its probably the hardest step during plane transformation.

>>5979324

I can't wait until bobo gets his hands on Carnifex and calls it shit because he mangles the shoulder transformation.

I dont understand why people like his reviews. Ive seen several of his videos and he always sounds like he has no fucking clue what he's talking about. Like, he just turns the camera on and starts talking without any clue what he is going to say.

Not sure if its the place to talk about it but considering the love/hate relationship the general has with him I'd think it would be relevant enough.

Only design I like is the cop one though. Looks like a good beefy generic for TFs.

>>5979370
>I dont understand why people like his reviews

Because unlike most reviewers, he has actual criticisms of what he's looking over, whereas most are "10/10 toy of the year buy it now at TFS/BBTS" every review. Which makes them less of a review, and more of a showcase.

Sarks doing his own thing partnering with some third party to make donutsteel transforming robots. They're going to use kikestarter to gauge interest. It's featuring minifigures that ride bikes that transform into a robot, with the minifigure becoming the chest sort of like how Fansproject's Core figures like Steelcore does it.

It's just a question of how close the toy designs will the concept art. Or if Sark will be Sark with stupid detailing, awkward proportions, and wonky headsculpts. Looks like the premier figure is like that. The saving grace is that it looks slathered with enough paint to reach bobo-boner territory.

Pretty good. Good scale, good details, more diecast than regular MP-10 and lots of neat gadgets (even if the jetpack feels a bit cheap since it's pretty hollow).
The rifle he comes with is shit tho'. It's tiny and it's wonky. But you can make him hold MP-10's rifle and it looks pretty good on him.

>>5979478
Those look really good together

>>5979175
Sounds like someone doesn't own Guardia. He's easily one of the best transforming figures I've ever owned. Solid individual figures, awesome combined mode. Literally the only thing I don't like about him is the lack of scramble city ability, which I can forgive because of how fucking stable the combined mode is.

I never got a Metro, but I might get a FortMax one of these days, if he goes on sale on Amazon or something like I suspect he might like Devastator did last year.

So far, all of his joints feel pretty tight, in a good way. I wish his forward/back leg ratchets were a liiiiittle heavier, but they're good enough and seem to hold the weight. Haven't transformed him yet, life keeps getting in the way today from letting me mess with him too much just yet.

>>5980159

I can't really answer that as I don't know your situation. However, I'm pretty much a poorfag who has to save up for shit a while in advance normally, so I had the funds for him when I needed. I usually plan my purchases far ahead of time. Especially for something this big.

Oh huh, just flipped through his instructions. They don't actually tell you how to put him into base mode.

Its actually real simple. You need to untab the backpack and wing compartment so it comes apart loose. Don't force it as you're just trying to break off the tabs that way.

>>5980697

Do you have some sort of secret you can show then? Even the official video manual just shows them struggling and forcing the thing.

>>5980707
I didn't even know there was an official video manual for it maybe its just a quality issue? I just know that the backpack segments have tabs that lock on which prevents the figure from sliding off properly.

>>5980707
Just untab all the wing segments from the backpack and carefully slide it down once the wings are folded out.

I can't take photos at work but its self explanatory if you untab the wings off the backpack.

>>5980746

I sort of see what you mean? Just the fold out wings for plane mode, right? But it doesn't change anything for me. Still requires super heavy force to try and shift it.

>>5980760
Ah I'm not entirely sure then because that's what locks the backpack up for me for the slide function.

Wasn't even planning on getting carnifex until this thread.

Can you close the hatches in tank mode with pilots in them, and can you bullshit a pilot into the jet's "cockpit"?

>>5981254

If they're small enough, I think so. And the cockpit opens too, so again, as long as a figure is small enough.

>>5980956
eh, not necessarily. Looks like there are two different aesthetics at play here so not really much for them competing with each other. MMC is going for the CHUG/IDW style crowd and this is going for the MP demographic.

>>5981902

Planted the foot and just played with a balance a bit. The leg being so far out helped balance him. I knew I wanted to do the whole rag time gal pose as soon as I saw his silly face in person.

It really wasn't hard and he's not precariously close to falling either. Just takes patience. He's wonderfully solid.

Still think Hexatron looks better than either of these, but then again, Hexatron is very much a CHUG/IDW Sixshot and these are definitely going for a more G1 vibe.

Articulated mouths on the faces too, since theres not much else they could really do with it other than the tentacles.

Do it, make it Deluxe sized, and $50 or less, you've got a sale from me.

On the other hand, there's zero chance this'll actually come out, the C&D will be in the mail before the month's over. It sucks because whoever does the inevitable official toyline will 100% get it wrong.

Presumably because no one knows what the fuck current comic megatron is supposed to be since he never transformed in the comic for reasons.

Probably this is an all in one set so you can have Drill tank miner megatron from the early comic, tank megatron because that's easy to get to, and jet thing megatron because whatever.

I'm guessing the Battlestars cannon with a cockpit is the default gun that allows him to change into a tank, and ship. The other two are more oriented towards the tank/drill mode.

Same. At point I'm holding out hope that the Chinese just ko's UW Devastator at a smaller size. I'll give him better joints if I need to.

>another retardedly huge Devy
Look numbskull its MP scaled no its not "retardely huge" just for the sake of it. Get Green Giant or UW if you want a CHUG dev.

>>5982489
This exactly what I'm hoping for.

>>5982354
Man I can't wait to see how both of the big nigs of the djd turn out

>>5981798
Or it's a weird jet with treads. The jet's pretty cool looking though (as in, it actually looks like something instead of some Cybertronian mess), so if they manage to pack in a decent tank mode I'll be highly impressed.

>>5982330
Jesus titty fucking christ

>>5982461
And all these retards saying we would never get an MP Devastator are btfo just like I said. Can't wait.

>>5982506

Someone would eventually make one. I always suspected 3p would beat Takara to the punch because 150 PER LIMB is going to be a big pill to swallow.

It's a damn shame FT can only release a single figure every ten years or so.

>>5982461
See, I saw this first, didn't think much of it until I saw >>5982330
Holy shit this is insane.

>>5982469
>please stop making new stuff and make things that already exist

>>5982493

MP Scaled Devy by definition is 'retardedly huge" numbnuts. Green Giant is shit and UW Devy, while still the best Devy for your buck, is retardedly fucking huge.

Some people don't want a plastic toddler.

>>5982512
I just hope the delay between the first and last Constructicon won't be MMC long.

>>5982330
Jesus christ I think it's bigger than G1 Fort Max. That's insane. This thing is gonna cost, what, £1000?

>>5982528

The standard big fuck off citybot is 400 so I think 500-700 UDS range is predictable.

>>5982524
>Green Giant is shit
Found the problem, you have shit taste.

>>5982260
>>5982264
I could be wrong, but after comparing these to my own Striker Manus it seems that Thunder Manus could be its own standalone figure rather than an add-on kit.

>>5982469
They have it it's called Giant

Why is the submarine mode upside down?

>>5982330
>>5982461
So MP scale for both giant bots?

>>5982569

It is standalone. There is another smaller Optimus figure that turns into the cab.

>>5982524
>Green Giant is shit

Fight me

>>5982354
Theres still just something about Tarn there compared to the other three...he looks cheaper or like his design was handled by a different person.

>>5982330

Prime is what? 9.5 inches? So that thing clocks in at about 22-24 inches right?

The only 3P thing that comes that close to that would be TW constructor. 600 dollar combiner.

600 ez.

If simple planes has taught me anything, it's that he's not making it far without some horizontal stabilizers in the back

Excuse my insolence

Would anyone here know how to tighten the combiner ratchet on MMC's Bovis? His ratchet is noticeably looser than my Fortis.

>>5982864
Can you open it and actually get to the ratchet mechanism? That really affects your options.

>>5982874

I would have no idea how to do that honestly.

>>5981686
Thought so. How do they compare to the Animated figures?

My dick was not ready for this. This will be my priority one. I actually get why they can't really do the Brainmaster face gimmick on this since it's a combiner but muh dick! I need to finish Hades soon.

>>5980159

I would be too but $185 at TF Con? Yeah... I didn't pass that up and no regrets. He's an amazing figure and worth every penny.

What was the most expensive 3rd party figure ever made out of curiosity? (and I mean the original release date msrp)

Huh that's not as bad as I thought. Was just thinking about it with Carnifex coming out and people saying he's a bit pricy which kinda slows down demand for him.

>>5983165

Well, nearly $200 is pretty damn pricey honestly, no matter how you slice it. For many people, thats a good portion of their pay check each week.
