I'm a Beast Wars kid, but I have a healthy appreciation for G1 thanks to the reissue series from the early 2000's and Big Lots/Easter baskets with bootleg G1 combiner teams. I really like the aesthetic of the Diaclone/ first few year's stuff, though not so much the later ones from Headmasters and beyond. My favorite is Ultra Magnus. I'd love to see a proper update of the Diaclone toy, or a reimagining in the new diaclone line.

If its as eye catching as the g1 redeco it might be worth it.

Doubt it, the original toy was a g1 redeco and the animation model was based on the toys, which is disturbing.

I honestly believe it'll be a straight redeco, at best less qc fuck ups like UW bruticus had, or so we hope.

I recently replaced my Hasbro Hardhead's faceplate with a Shapeways-made IDW Faceplate, and I noticed something odd.

When the headmaster is plugged in correctly, it doesn't pop out, but the head shifts and wiggles a lot. However, if I plug the headmaster head in backwards, it doesn't wiggle around any, but it's not a secured fit and will pull out if I hold it by the head.

Anybody else experience that?

UW Superion looks like the same guy who took a piss on G1 Shining Magnus took a piss on Silverbolt too. UW Menasor has the ugly edgy black Motormaster and unpainted yellow plastic Drag Strip. UW Defensor has some of the worst paint jobs I've seen in years, especially on Hot Spot. UW Bruticus is a mess of poor QC and poor coloration choices.

All in all, Hasbro won CW/UW. The only place they lost was Computron.

And with the Takaracuck shitposting cleared aside, here's all 4 teams.
>>
>>5978208
Yes. It works well with a few figures, but on the Hardhead mold (mostly due to the TM tiny head connector), you'll wear down the port really fast doing that, and the tiny TM head will get stressed (only on Furos so far).
>>
>>5978225
What? CW Groove was a new mold too.

Also UW Blast Off was really really ugly. Not only does he have mantits, he also has a tiny dinky gun and is a Headmaster. Fuck that.
>>
>>5978225
You do realize Hasbro released Deluxe Groove IN ADDITION TO Rook and Legends Groove (both of whom UW never even got).

I can understand the Blastoff issue though. Weird that Hasbro hasn't released that mold yet. As shitty as UW Blastoff is, it'd still be nice to have the option of buying it from Hasbro and not a UW boxset.

It took almost a year (11 months, give or take) for them to release Groove AFTER Takara released him, so we won't see Shuttle Blast Off until May, if they decide to release him.

>>5978252
Computron was Season 3 and Liokaiser was Victory, so no.

Devastator could probably be counted but the Constructicons are technically not a special team (which usually refers to Scramble combiners) so while they are a classic combiner, they aren't a classic special team.
>>
>>5978252
Only Computron, but he's not a classic member. The others wouldn't count since they're not scramble combiners.

This really makes me wish there was a CW/UW Abominus to go against CW/UW Computron. I guess Liokaiser will be his nemesis then...

Classic special teams refers to the teams themselves, not the members. As far as I (and Hasbro) am concerned, Rook, AB and Offroad are all officially part of the Protectobots, Aerialbots and Stunticons, respectively.

It's your move, Geewunner.

>>5978278
What a boring post.

>>5978279
Kind of sort of, although he is a scramble combiner he wasn't released with the other 6 teams so that makes things a bit difficult.

>>5978280
"Special teams" comes from Universe 2.0.

"Classic combiners" is a general term that's been used for quite a while to refer to the 5 main combiners from Seasons 1 and 2.

shut the fuck up, butthurt child. Buying ponies makes you a girl and Hasbro doesn't care that you make up 0.00000001% of their profits by doing so.

>>5978306
why? Hasbro's ponies are awful toys. Even the McD versions have been better, and the let Funko make some of them because they're somehow too inept to make "pony figurine of simple flash cartoon character" themselves, because they can't fathom making ponies without that rooted hair that looks like a bird's nest.

Is the landing gear necessary on the Legends Seeker mold? It's a neat detail to have, but I can't comfortably swoosh this jet with that thing sticking out.

Can I just cut it?
>>
Okay, so I opened my knockoff Masterpiece Rumble and Ravage set. I dunno but these figures do not seem worth the $59.99 BBTS is asking. Is that why they're still in stock? They barely seem worth the $20 I paid. The Titans Return versions seem bigger too.


These Masterpiece figures are way overpriced.

Well of course the Legends class figures would be bigger than something that turns into an accurately sized microcassette. They're small by design, and the best part about them is how the designers managed to stuff cartoon-accurate figures into microcassettes.

Of course that doesn't justify their price to a lot of people, which is probably why we haven't gotten any individual MP cassette releases since those two sets.

Masterpiece figures are aimed at collectors that want a G1 authentic style. Where it looks like the old cartoon models but still transformers and what not. They are over priced because the major market is those that want G1 exclusively thus they don't buy other tfs.
Titans Return versions homages are basically aimed at those interested but don't have the money or interest in just buying G1 accurate. The TR/legends are more aimed to actually play with while Masterpieces are more for display

I'm always curious about how Hasbro decides what character model they are going to use in series. In CW Firefly is based off his original toy but Superion is based of the Sunbow model. Dead End and Motomaster are based off the show model while Dragstrip isn't based on either. Even into TR we see this where Hardhead and Highbrow are based off toys, Chromedome is IDW, Cerbros/Fort Max is the Cartoon and the Decpticon Beasts are just doing their own thing. I'm mostly just curious how they decided who gets show/comic accurate, who gets toy accurate and who gets an OC style.
>>

>Is this the most show accurate one yet?

His alt mode is a bit tricky if he has any QC issues

Highbrow is actually based off the old comics but I get what you mean.
I figure they just do like most toy companies and makes sure all the bots are unique and stand out from each other.
All toy accurate Stunticons would look boring all Cartoon accurate Aerialbots would look boring. They likely split apart and pick what they think will pop out the most with kids and fans.

I have no pretense that the toys of that era stand up today, but it'd be ridicilous to expect that anyway - the only reason I'm into collecting toys is nostalgia, and seeing I mostly grew up in the early 90's and a lot of those -masters and Pretenders showed up at flea markets, there was a want but no have, so I have more affinity for those later year toys than I do for the 84-86 toys which I only saw very rarely.

Actually having a minty toy of something as bad as Landmine gives me a better appreciation of it, while a much nicer toy like Skullgrin is a bit of a letdown since it's damn near impossible to get him without a rash on his rubber parts.

Fair enough. And I know what you mean. It's most noticeable at the neck. If I could find some scrap to sort of transition between them I think it would work better. The donor pieces are the IF add-on set, an Armada Megatron, and TFP Laserback.

It was actually my second go at Grimlock and used parts from this failed custom.

in his latest video he mentions that he works part time at Michaels.... so I doubt he is wasting much, albeit he is probably blowing his entire income because in so many videos he just spams shitty old toys he finds at flea markets that he is gonna chop up for customs. As far as wasting money by breaking and fucking up good toys, he is blowing A LOT of money. A fuck load I bet.

That makes me really happy about the future of Generations. It means that characters don't have to be stuck with the one figure in one size class for several years. Brawn especially makes it clear that it doesn't have to be a super popular character to get the treatment.

They get grief because they don't do the deco's fans want accurately enough, or they don't do enough remolding, or whatever.

I got Ratchet today and I just figured "you know what I'll just cut some red crosses out of the stickers they give you". I didn't realize though that the stickers are god damn horrible looking.

I would definitely like to see a Masterpiece one though, expect at least half the Maximal cast before the first Predacon, assuming it's even going to be Megatron. Japan likes Cybertrons more than Destrons.

That one is Telemocha Megatron, Takara's version of Beast Wars 10th Anniversary. It's a recolor of Robot Masters Beast Megatron, a Deluxe sized version of the Ultra figure with gimmicks replaced by molded detail. Not a bad toy if you can get it without mortgaging your house.

Toyhax is where Reprolabels come from right? Damn, if you think those are good quality, you should get your hands on some Ocean or Eness decals. They're about 100 times better than Reprolabels' paper shit. I wouldn't put that on a retail toy, never mind an MP.

The only stickersheet I have from them are the clear back decepticon logos, and they seem fine enough.

Next time I want some stickers maybe I'll look into those two brands
>>
>>5979108
Nah, their stuff is pretty ok. Definitely better than your standard paper stickers. And they're getting better on their newer stuff, basically vinyl stickers.

Although not as good as Ocean or Eness which are dry transfer decals.

Comparison with Bruticus...
>>
>>5979299
Superion and his repaints/remolds are probably the best combiner torsos.

Relatively well balanced with very natural proportions. Defensor is nice but his proportions are fucked, and Menasor is topheavy as hell. I don't have a Skylynx to see what that torso is like though.
>>
>>5979306
I personally think it's a tie between Superion and Bruticus. Superion is more dynamic but Bruticus is more massive looking, while overall not being that posable in the leg area.
>>
>>5979310
I don't really have an issue with Defensor/Bruticus in terms of poseability or play value, but if you move those legs just a little bit too much, suddenly you're going "why the fuck is his leg coming out of his waist"
>>
>>5979312
I use the rotated thigh position for Bruticus so he essentially has no forward hip articulation. He does, however, look a lot better.

With Defensor though, I agree. The implied crotch only works if he's standing straight unfortunately.
>>

You do know that is PC-01 right? You know meant for CW Superion a year before Defensor was even confirmed. PC-05 was originally meant for UW Superion but everybody just started using that for CW Superion as well.

Not that one, the Menasor and Defensor actually looks amazing in person. It's like the regular guys got fed up of getting laughed at and went to the gym for a couple of months to get jacked up.

I am also still getting the PC versions because at this point I collect them as much as I can so even if I stop using some of them, I would never know when I would feel like buying doubles of the combiners so better have them on hand for when that time comes.

Who says I'm using the head? I want it for the stylized hands, feet, and body part upgrade. Those are the ones I've been gunning for, even if I get the Bruticus set, I will be picking out which parts I would want to use to enhance the look without taking too much from the aesthetics of the CW stuff. This is why I didn't buy the PE for Superion because I was fine with everything except for the feet and why I am buying the Bruticus head and guns on the next toyshow. I'm buying it for the guns and not the head so the head will stay in the box for the most part unless I feel like changing that too.

No dipshit, I mean they're not being marketted as kid appeal characters, unlike in the cartoons, when they had toys. Masterpiece is not being sold to kids. There is no kid appeal in their characters to market, so their placement in the line has nothing to do with marketting to children.

Grimlock was also MP-8, not MP-2 as you'd seem to think based off this "kid appeal" logic applied to the Masterpiece line.

The Skylynx mold has nice proportions too, it's quite similar to Superion's just that the hips aren't as skinny-looking. One thing is that the shoulder transformation doesn't lock as well as Superion's or Bruticus, though it kinda works as a shoulder swivel for additional poses.

It is, true. But this is also a CHUG line. A lot of stuff in CHUG has been pretty inaccurate.

It's definitely not for someone looking for accuracy to the source material, but beyond that it looks REALLY good in all modes. There's also new heads for everyone and a godly amount of paint apps (aka effort).

Besides they've revised its price such that it's the same as the G2 sets, in S'pore, at least.
