>>5989106
You're not alone anon. I'd kill for a good new Demolishor, or an Armada Megatron that wasn't a halfassed retool of the not even that good GEEWUN version.

MP Armada Prime is probably in the pipeline. It could have been here sooner if nipnogs weren't victoryfags.

It'll a crime if we don't get a sideways in TR.

>>5989136
>people voted for the good design from the good show instead of the shit design from the shit show

Why are you surprised?

>>5989136
I don't think they should do Armada Prime without a decent demand for it.

He's practically a triple changer with a trailer that has to turn into a battle station and power armor. To do him justice he'd need to be a full 200$ figure, which would shy away non-Armadafags I imagine.

>>5989151
>>5989151
Armada Prime came in 2nd place in that vote, and fairly close to Star Saber if I recall correctly.

>>5989155
I kind of agree, he'd be better suited to being a Leader Class figure, which I think would be sufficient. Around Voyager class base Optimus and his base makes him Leader sized.

>>5989136

MP Armada Prime would sell like shit.

>>5989170
Not necessarily. IIRC Armada/Micron Legend was pretty popular in Japan. It helped the Japanese version of the anime wasn't utter toilet.

>>5989173

It had a much nicer animation quality.

>>5989173

That's true but I wonder if they'd go with the auto-transforming gimmick or not. It's pretty definitive of the original toy I can imagine lots of bitching on either side of the fence though.

What the hell would it have cost, 500$?

>>5989181
>That's true but I wonder if they'd go with the auto-transforming gimmick or not.

It's already a nightmare to add joints to the super mode legs given de design of that trailer and the way it transforms. Seems pretty obvious to me that the auto-transformation would be ditched.

>>5989181
I think that including it would hurt the figure more than anything else. They tend to only do toy homages like that if its actually practical, which the auto transforming trailer wouldn't be.

>>5989190
>>5989197

Yeah I forget just how many liberties the show took. At least it kept the parts-forming so even then it's probably more forgiving than a lot of g1 designs.

Is it weird that I actually want MP's of the energon deluxe autobots just to see them pull them off?

>>5989201
>At least it kept the parts-forming so even then it's probably more forgiving than a lot of g1 designs.

Not so sure about that. The trailer transforms by turning inside out, so the legs are a hollow box-like thing. Adding knees and hips to that is going to require some serious thinking outside the box (no pun intended).

I'm really curious about how they would tackle that thing, actually.

>>5989211
They could probably take some liberties with the fact that, much like Star Saber's power armor turns into empty power armor folded into the shape of what is vaguely a jet, Armada Prime's trailer looks like robot legs folded into a rectangle.

Still, they'd need to get a competent base mode out of it as well,

>>5989226
And don't forget an MP Sparkplug!

>>5989249
Over-Run too for good measure. I'd honestly be all over certain Mini-con's getting the MP treatment.

>>5989211

That's just the kind of thing the MP line is for though. Never would've thought I'd see Cheetor so accurate so I don't doubt that Takara's engineers could pull it off.

I finally got my hands on a wheelie and he's pretty cool. What's the consensus on his vehicle mode holding together like shit, though? Is there some combination of shaving tabs/pledging that will make it more solid?

And also holy shit, he has pinned wheels and rolls like a champ. When's the last time we saw that?

>>5988968
Had all except the bat/croc. Owl bear was the best. You know its true, I have the stats sheet right here.

>>5989006
I didn't get this. Granted I ordered the version with the mace so that might be holding it up since that one comes from Asia.

>>5989302
Depending on hand feel, I'm thinking MP or Mightron

>>5989302
Has MP36 been shown to be able to put the fusion cannon on the side of his arm yet?

>>5989312

From the pics with the flail it looks like it attaches to the arm plate that can shift to the top or the side.

>>5989312
>Has MP36 been shown to be able to put the fusion cannon on the side of his arm yet?

You only need to check the pic of his back to notice that the forearm is actually rotated 90 degrees so the cannon faces like the show model.

So yeah, it can be moved to the side.

Okay, so I just ordered this for $13 shipped including the coin. It even claims to be genuine (but I have my doubts)

Tell me. Did they even knock off the coins or am I getting a legit factory second or something? I guess I'll see if/when I get it.

Also, this goes to show you how much profit Takara must make if these things can be sold for $13 shipped from China.

>>5989324
Nearly everything is made for dirt cheap and sold at a massive markup, even stuff made outside of china.

>>5989324
I can tell you that there are people all over asia selling off their genuine collector coins for like 5~10 bucks or something.

>>5989332
So do you think it's a knockoff Sideswipe with a genuine collectors coin?

Has anyone pulled the plug on one of these yet:

I don't think you understand just how big an MP FortMax would be.

How hard would it be to remove UW Blast Off's feet? Is there a section where i can just pop them off the hinges or is it all pins down there.

Is it normal for TR/LG Hardhead's cannon to be slightly angled?

I just noticed that the cannon doesn't sit perfectly flush against his body because one of the segments of the levers holding the cannon is slightly angled.

It doesn't look like warped plastic, a crooked pin or any other QC issue. It's probably just some mold tolerance thing.

I'm just curious if anyone else noticed this on their Hardheads.

>>5989346
I don't know what Blastoff is like, but UW Strafe's feet are pinned in. There's one pin joint holding the lever to the leg and a friction joint holding the feet to the lever.

>>5989347
Pics

>>5989349
What about at the ankle joint? Is it pinned there because I know Swindle and Brawl don't use pins for their ankles.

That's Voyager Fireburst Optimus Prime from the DotM line. I have the regular version (which comes with a different weapon) and he's pretty good, but I got him for about £15 (sans kneepads). He isn't movie accurate at all but he's pretty poseable, surprisingly fun and I do dig his anime super robot proportions and the EXTREEEEEEEEME 90s aesthetic with the rocket boosters and solar panels.

DOTM Fireburst Optimus Prime, has the fiery deco and mech tech weapon as you can see. I wouldn't pay full retail for it because there's the superior ROTF versions.

Nope, it's a completely new mold for DOTM. ROTF first had a repaint of the movie 1's Voyager OP and then its HTFD subline had a voyager that looked like a downscale of the leader class.

Is this worth $22?

I see KOs of them on eBay for like $8 without the package.

>>5989399
Movie one Optimus toys are kind of endearing. They look like G1 Optimus failing to cosplay movie Optimus.

>>5989405
Depends on how much you like the design. It's pretty great as a toy.

I'd suggest looking for one under $20 even if you like it though.

Is ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime really THE definitive movie Prime?

Are they worth $49? This is supposedly a KO but it should be the same thing. I hear they even copied the voice box. These were obviously made in the same factories.

I mainly want one because of all the negative reviews it has from idiots on Amazon.

>>5989405

I actually love thist toy, only wish it was like... leader sized. I've seen some pretty cool K.O.s of it once on these very generals. Never found one for myself though.

>>5989414

It's fucking amazing. If you like long, involved transformations you're in for a treat., looks pretty close to perfection (except maybe the arm flaps, but honestly, it's not a big deal)

>>5989089

Get that and Cyberfire Bee and embrace the Murder Prime.

Is there anything else like like Car Robots Fire Convoy? I freakin love this toy. When I first got it in 2001, I played with that thing for hours.

I missed out on God Magnus so I never experienced the ultimate combined form. Though, I remember some people were able to repurpose some screw holes as pegs and tack on all the Super Fire Convoy parts onto the God Fire Convoy combined form.

Is there anything more modern with the playability of Fire Convoy?

Also, shellformers like the CR Car Brothers. I love those guys. Speedbreaker has such an involved transformation but I eventually mastered it in under like 60 seconds.

What is there that is more modern and like Speedbreaker and the BW Neo guys.

I think Deluxe ROTF Mudflap and Skids may count.

>>5989441

I want there to be a remake so I can possibly get a black and gold repaint for cheap this time around.

>>5989414
It's complicated, requires a precise order of operations in the transformation and has some clearance issues in the transformation. But that said, it's one of the best Transformers ever. If they'd removed the electronics, it'd probably be perfection. I don't hate electronics, mind you, but the torso could have been neater and more compact without them. And it's not like the chest pump and the one I AM OPTIMUS PRIME line wasn't really worth it.

Oh yes, Its a beautiful figure. Robots in Disguise being brought over was the first time I really experience hype for Transformers; I was a Beast Wars fan and I was keeping an eye on the then-new ebay and internet websites and came across Gigatron and fire convoy. Just their paint alone is gorgeous. Big Convoy is the closest thing to a similar figure, I consider them to be effectively "sibling designs"; they where designed by the same guy

Aesthetically its a very purely Japanese look. Between Car Robots and Beast wars Neo, there's a clear attempt to distance themselves from older aesthetics, much in the same way a lot of other Japanese mecha designs where going through a change.Over here the pendulum swung back hard after beast Machines so the G1 look was in, which killed that momentum, as Takara was following Hasbro's lead.

Maybe some 3rd party stuff would be similar, but I don't find the aesthetics as slick. Thunder Manus looks really fun.

>>5989514

Nigga what? Did his value go up recently? I usually see him go for $20-30, sometimes even boxed. Hell, I saw a boxed twofer of him and Ultra Magnus go for 40 once.

Hmm. My Walgreens only has 2 Wierdwolfs and a bunch of RID one steps.

Bbts would probably be the better choice, since shipping from hlj would probably make it as much if not more as just buying it domestically

>>5989851
Maybe because he didn't have a dick in the show?

>>5989921
I think I recall reading that the features of his gorilla mode unintentionally make him end up looking more like a female gorilla in the end.

>>5989921
HE DID IT WAS JUST OFFSCREEN.

>>5989924
Waspinator was a female wasp. Inferno was a female ant.

>>5989921
aren't gorilla dicks super small anyway? maybe with the bad cgi, you couldn't even notice it!

I think Tigatron scanned a female tiger too.

>>5989936
God I hated that stupid looking alt mode even as a kid. But his bot mode is so cool looking.

>>5989928
Because only female wasps have stingers? What made Inferno female?

I hope the BW MPs scale well with the generations BW toys

>>5989943
Male fire ants have wings.

>>5989957
He could have bit the wings off.

>>5989934
for their size, yes their dicks are tiny, tinier proportionally than humans

That doesn't look half bad, though Rhinox is fairly runty in beast mode

I guess that pic with Ratchet in the last thread made him look smaller than he is. He looks to be a pretty good size.

>>5989979
Yeah, but its still a good toy.

>>5989982
Definitely, he's easily my favorite generations toy

I'd be really interested in seeing an MP take on him though

>>5989974
Also good to know that he'll be the high end of the Beast Wars MP line, only more pricey would be Megs, Dinobot, and possibly Rhinox. Pricey bunch, but a worthwhile one. I really do hope they continue the BW line for a good while to come.

>>5989982
I was just looking at this. Is it an official pic? If so did they really put the only female like that? Airazor doesn't seem like the type (had the figure as a kid and it was one of my favourites, just lost her claw weapon but otherwise complete, why am I even saying this...).

>>5989991
And was dinobot really that much taller? I haven't watched BW in forever.

>>5989991
You're questioning the animation studio that designed one character after a stripper about posing a female character in a certain pose?

>>5989974
Something of a missed opportunity with MP Primal I think would have been giving him articulated gorilla feet that can hold things. Even just a bit of toe articulation and a slot hole that can hold the MP style guns would be really cool.

I can't think of any off hand but I'm almost certain there have been a few instances of Primal holding something in his monkey feet in the first season

>>5989994
I know there are dvd extras of all the guys lined up with height comparisons out there somewhere.

>>5989994
I don't know if that image is actually scaled right. Dinobot was about that big but I'm certain Rattrap was smaller and Tigatron was bigger.

>>5989514
I paid for him and the Japanese God Magnus both MIB with good wheels on them for only $80 Canadian. Then again it was from a local show so it was cheaper since you can ask the seller for a better deal.

>>5989987
A huge factor in MP Primal's costs is the extensive printed textures on him. Without them he'd probably be like 80$ like cheetor

I doubt any other theoretical BW MP would run higher than 120$ though. Maybe an Optimal Optimus or Transmetals2 Megatron if they ever reach that point.

Figured out how to give liokaiser a sword

>>5990024
Well, he's still got fairly considerable size, I doubt the print is the only factor. And with prices trending upwards I would assume Megatron will at least be similarly priced, as would Dinobot. Didn't know the print was that expensive, thanks for the insight.

>>5989996
I'd still question it considering the source material.

>>5990011
Um... I definitely don't remember Terrorsaur being that big, or Scorponok being that small. Ughhhh, I gotta find the time to rewatch all of Beast Wars.

>>5990039
It's not so much that it's expensive as it is almost his entire outer surface has a printed fur texture on it. That's a lot of plastic to put detail on.

Generations BW Scorponok when? The mold has never even been reused on retail stuff. Just scorponok and botcon double punch iirc.

>>5990041
Yeah, he was definitely smaller.

>>5990047
Paralon is like 90% BW Scorponok already.

Why are there so many damn furries ITT?

Pic related.

>>5990144
It's still available on BBTS.

>>5990202
No, they're how I remember them here. Scorponok was always hunched and a bit of a hunchback, and Terrorsaur was quite tall, he just wasn't nearly as big as that other pic made him look.

>>5990202
I always forget transmetal 2 Megatron is a thing

He's on screen in the cartoon for like a total of 4 seconds

Just bought TR Chromedome today.
Compared to my Alpha Trion (or even Hardhead), he feels really cheap and hollow.

Anyone else feel this way?

But TR are my first 1st party Transformers since about 2014, so maybe I'm just not used to the crappy Vietnamese workmanship (workchildship?). I pick up Thrilling 30 Waspinator or Rhinox, and they've got some actual weight to them. But my TR deluxes just feel as crappy as the Fall of Cybertron figs.

>>5990031
I keep seeing everybody posting pics but I can't even find anywhere to buy it. Entertainment Earth is full of fags.

>>5990216
Funny, I always remembered Scorponok being as big T-Rex Megs

>>5990266
TR Chromedome is the worst of Wave 2 Deluxes.
And get used to the hollowness.
Ever since they figured out how to mold hollow plastic parts with reasonable proficiency they've been pulling that shit on all robot parts as much as they can to maximize their profit.

>>5990284
Oh well, at least he looks cool (and he SORT OF looks like a real car in vehicle mode, which is nice. Too many spacecars these days). And I like the character, so at least there's that.

But damn if the actual construction isn't disappointing.

It does, and that chomping gimmick is its saving grace. But the transformation is poorly engineering with an unreliable locking mechanism that feels like it's jammed half the time while making the whole toy floppy in both modes, which is a really bad thing for a one-step.

I actually bought him 2 years ago but kept him in storage due to transportation reasons. Probably $300+ SGD?

>>5990736
Damn that's expensive, I got mine for $125 CAD 2 years ago as well from TFcon Toronto. Was it in box or was it already loose when you got him?

>>5990740
Mint in box. Yeah, big purchase, but very worth it to me.

>>5990741
He is worth it and yeah I got mine loose but a SDCC/ACG Metroplex is still a Metroplex. Especially that thing cost an arm and a leg now either loose or boxed. We were lucky to get them when we can.

Btw what did you do to the box? Keeping it or selling it?

>>5990747
I'm gonna wrap it up in newspaper and bubblewrap and put it in checkin baggage and hope for the best.

God that is scary.

>>5990750
Well you should also try getting a brown box for it since it's light enough and it will be probably only counted to the weight so you wouldn't really be charge for that much or try getting it as a carry on since you can have 2 carry on as far as I remember.

Mine specifically has a chipped nose, and the left shoulder connector intended for the mp11 coronation set is missing, not a big loss except for the fuck huge gap in his shoulder

If I wasn't a ramjet fan I would of got him refunded, he still looks great but he certainly isn't worth the whole TAKARA WINS AGAIN shit.

The wing tabbing issue can't be fixed, a few units got recalled last I heard, I coulda got one from premiumcollectables with that issue for $80aud but I really want him in all modes

He's perfectly fine. There's many BW characters taller than Primal, if he was bigger and he line continues the others would be fuckhuge and stupidly expensive.

Not him, I honestly enjoyed victory as much as I liked the original g1.

Maybe because it had plenty and didn't have the weird shit supergodmasterforce had and had more action than headmasters.

Wat better than the snorefest that was Headmasters and Armada, at the very least. It's just a kids show in the same vein as the future Brave series, if you like that style you will find it entertaining.

>>5989343
I'm curious how they would handle the size. Matched to the original toy? It would obviously be impossible to scale with current MPs.

>>5990906
Agreed, and he's got fair size to him. He's between voyager and ultra, which isn't too bad. Of course the price being what it is is a bit much, but that's how it goes. Cheetos will end up only being a being 2/3 the price of primal, which is still pretty pricey considering being smaller, no lights, and the like, so who knows.

>>5990892
Ignore whatever happened to my English plus Cheetos, but his legs are really far apart in that pic, so it's deceiving. He seems to be really close to the ultra in size.

At least when Daniel was insufferable in Headmasters, he was only one character. In Victory, pretty much all the Autobots make me wish they'd just shut the fuck up.

>It's just a kids show in the same vein as the future Brave series
And that's why I held off on watching the Braves for so long because I expected to hate them for the same reasons, the blind and stupid hero worship with no meat to the story and zero characterization, but even at their worst they were still more enjoyable than Victory.
