Who is next to get MPed?
>>6001358
I hope it's either Dinobot or Megatron.
Oh, or Tarantulas. But I would also be ok with just a new generations Tarantulas, even a TR style one. His head could go in a separate little spider TR vehicle.
>>6001358
Probably RatTrap.
There's a weird tab behind Optimus's back which is a slight hint.
>>6001364
Does generations Rattrap fit there already? I think it will be the smallest MP out there.
Speaking of gorillas. I found this guy at Walmart yesterday and he's probably my new favorite RID2015 legion class. Just up the articulation and bulk and I'd buy a warrior class with the same transformation scheme. His body is kind of thin/hollow, but if you keep his treads on his back it fills him out nicely, even if it isn't screen accurate.
Heck, put him in red, white, and black and call him Primal and I'd buy this mold twice.
>>6001366
BumbleBee is pretty damn small.
>>6001367
>They've already repainted his show model and re-purposed that as a new character
>>6001382
Ah. Who?
>>6001380
What are you waiting for, grab that Fixit.
>>6001383
Simacore from S02E06 "Brainpower", the "Grimlock becomes super smart" episode.
Other than being hot-cold color swap of Groundpounder, he's also more brains than brawn.
>>6001380
>i'm blue, da ba dee da ba dai
>>6001396
And he looks like an orangutan! Neat.
I don't mind the recolors to fill in as a background characters. It's kind of fun. Like that recolored Airachnid.
>>6001358
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnnQ6UQJuVs
Let's see which transformation could get the most accurate MP treatment.
Rhinox is a bit too big and they kind of hinted that people should settle for the two generations releases, which includes Rattrap.
Unless a 3P does a properly scaled Rhinox even though no one is doing Beast Wars.
Megatron and Tauratulas should be the most appealing designs to do.
>>6001356
>That pic
No one has posted yet the video review of Master Piece Optimus Primal?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVCVNrO6KFE
>>6001441
I watched it and tolerated it to the point of where he was going on about the plastic.
He can't even tell that it's painted fur and not the damn plastic.
>>6001449
>He can't even tell that it's painted fur and not the damn plastic.
Then you weren't listening. he said it was painted and that it had a nice effect on the plastic.
Also, why don't you skip the part you don't like. You know you can do that, right?
I mostly watch video review to see how the transformation work.
>>6001441
Probably because it's Optibotimus whom 96% of people here detest. You don't need 30 minutes to review a single toy.
>>6001461
>You don't need 30 minutes to review a single toy.
that's what the skipping thing is for.

>>6001465
I am not defending him, I am saying that you don't have to deal with him if you cut the sound and/or skip directly to the part that interest you.
>>6001358
Not Rattrap.
>>6001474
also I forgot an important one....they didn't fix his fucking elbows!
>>6001474
He is way better than the original.
>>6001474
Most people probably don't own the Telemocha.
>>6001474
Blame it on falling on the sword of show accuracy. The days of MPs being a hybrid of toy and animation designs are over. All those issues stem from imitating the show
>>6001476
You don't have to deal with him because there a dozen other TF reviewers on Youtube who do the exact same thing he does, except better and much, much more concise.
Paul is still the same dipshit who did those terrible multi-part reviews on his kitchen table years ago, except now he's dumped a few thousand bucks into decent equipment and YT lets him blather on for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Okay so my UW Onslaught's left elbow will not come out, I can do it on my right but not my left one.

This is bait or you're retarded.
>>6001499
You're retarded if you have any doubt that it's bait.
>>6001462
or you could make a good video!
>>6001474
So you like the gimmicks of the original toy better than the show accuracy of the MP. Nothing wrong with that.
But it doesn't mean that the MP is worse than the original, much less that it is "garbage".
>>6001492
If the original toy was good even by modern standards why the Hell not go for show accuracy?

BenShillectables posted a review and he's a competent reviewer.
>>6001515

the 8 hours you spent trying to get your limp dick hard enough to jerk off to gay porn doesn't count as work, Paul.
>>6001515
I kind of want to comment similar to this on all of his videos now
What video is this from?
>>6001506
Hard to tell in these generals sometimes.
>>6001474
You are correct
>>6001529
>What video is this from?
The MP Primal one.
>>6001358
Dinobot or Megatron is what I hope for most. Dinobot would round out the early season 1 Maximals decently between the MP stuff and Generations(Rhinox is still too small, but its acceptable). Megatron Would be relatively huge, so he could anchor the display to make up for 2-3 Maximals vs 1 Predacon.some of his best moments where just him fighting solo, anyway.
Besides Dinobotand Meatron, my wishlist , from most to least, for season 1 BW MPs goes:
Terrorsaur
Tarantuals
Inferno
Blackarachnia
Tigatron
Rhinox
Scorponok
Airrazor
Rhinox
Rattrap
Waspinator
I like Rhinox and rattrap a lot, but there Generations versions are pretty good for now.
>>6001536
What's funny is the MP is cheaper than the Telemocha Primal in that pic.
>>6001536
>Why did they keep the elbows of the old one?! that was the worst part.
Because it allows for better range of movement and the arms have very little room for a better joint, thanks to the arm cannon gimmick.
The MP's ape mode is way more accurate..to the show.
>>6001536
>But the robot mode only looks marginally better than a 20+ year old toy.
>marginally
Seems to me that you have bad eyesight or zero attention to detail. Just the headsculpt is miles better than the original toy and later remolds as far as show accuracy goes.
>>6001536
I wish HasTak kept some kind of blog instead of finding out these things 10 years from now during some Q&A.

why do hastak pull this shit man
how the fuck am I supposed to know that they'll eventually make the other two?
same goes with fucking buzzsaw
of all TR tape robots out there he's the only one I'm missing
>>6001588
Why the fuck wouldn't they make the other ones? If anything you could be like us in 2006; buying Starscream and Skywarp expecting them to release Thundercracker next. Instead they do Ramjet and release Thundercracker at Botcon in a $300 box set.
>>6001602
Hasbro released an MP Primal too?
Can't wait for MP Cheetor and whatever half-assed trolling attempts get made with him.
>>6001557
>Inferno
I'd be pretty ok with a gen Waspinator remold/repaint, Terrorsaur on the other hand needs a decent update.
>>6001650
Walgreen pulled through. Btw, does anyone else Brainstorm's right thigh mushroom peg just fall the fuck out whenever you look at it funny? It seems like mine just won't click in no matter how much pressure I apply and it just falls out. I don't see any issues on the plastic either to explain it.
>>6001724
>does anyone else Brainstorm's right thigh mushroom peg just fall the fuck out whenever you look at it funny?
No, but the right arm swivel is tight AF, it pops the arm off if you rotate it more than 45 degrees.
>>6001536
I definitely don't agree with your opinion that it's literal garbage, but the rest I can kind of get on board with. The MP's robot form is a little more accurate to the show, but I don't think it looks any cooler/better than the original toy's. The gorilla modes aren't even close though, huge improvement for the MP. In the end, the original Primal toy was pretty damn nice. Other BW characters/toys are in greater need of improvement, and should benefit more from the MP treatment.
Is Titan Wars worth getting into? Haven't really checked the market of any toys for a few months so I just wanted to know If there were any must haves I was missing out on.
All I have so far are Rewind, Wheelie, Horri-bull and itty bitty Apeface.
>>6001761
They're pretty nice so far.
>>6001618
Here's one. Beast Wars is a terrible series and it shouldn't be shitting up the MP line.
>>6001761
I think it'd be good to get the canon headmaster characters at least
Overall this line is pretty solid and it's absolutely worth having a few guys.
>>6001779
You wouldn't have an MP line if Beast Wars didn't save Transformers. :-) Now take it up the rear like a good ol' boy as we get all those beautiful furry toys.
>>6001779
That's not specific to the release. None of these 'original toy was better' arguments apply to MP Cheeto.
>>6001818

Chromedome looks good but he's kinda..wide..
Something about him just feels off.
Beast Wars and G1 are both total garbage. You should be embarrassed at all the slap fights you fags get into defending either one.

Have there ever been any transformers that turned into stationary mortar cannons or turrets?
To me those always seemed like more natural non-gun options for the old gunformers than always turning into tanks. And hell whenever Shockwave transformed in the old cartoon he's always just float in the air and shoot at shit and was basically a turret in that sense.
>>6001931
Generations Skullgrin/Straxus?
G1 Galvatron turns into a space cannon
>>6001931
>Have there ever been any transformers that turned into stationary mortar cannons or turrets?
Galvatron?
>>6001942
I kind of feel dumb for so readily forgetting about Galvatron.
Would /tfg/ buy a triple changer that turned into a robot, carp, and chinese dragon (works by having the carp mode unfold)?
>go to Walmart to check the stock
>see wave 2 deluxe guys
>decide to check out Weirdwolf
>the face sculpt is disgusting and the yellow paint doesn't even match the yellow plastic
Jesus thank fuck I got the Takara version.
>>6001950
That sounds neat.
>>6001950
That sounds pretty neat actually
I'm surprised that isn't a BWN character
>>6001948
I'd like to see one turn into like a howitzer or generic AA cannon.
Heads up, the Computron set dropped to 72 on Amazon. It steadily dropped to that through out the day.
You could wait and try getting it cheaper, but outside of Hasbro toy shop, I doubt the Amazon version will go for much lower than this.
>>6001588
I understand passing on legends Starscream because he might be standalone, but did you really think that the weird triple-changing Buzzsaw with those tiny pegs was a singular release?
>>6001958
I'm surprised we never got a kangaroo for BWN
>>6002000

Wait... Energon Scorponok was a head master?
>>6002110
No. It is a custom.
>>6002074
Most of the time they were "ultra" class.
>>6001761
I mean, this is the only line many of these characters will ever get an official modern toy in... EG Chromedome, Mindwipe, Weirdwolf, Highbrow, Hardhead... I am into just to get the headmasters since I loved the show.
>>6002207
>this is the only line many of these characters will ever get an official modern toy
Those were main characters, but weirdos like Doublecross, Repugnus, Triggerhappy and the Headmaster JR have almost zero chance to get another official toy.

Your face is awful.
>>6002304
plastic weld might help...? maybe some superglue on the inside of the crack? I'm not sure man... just be careful with it.
>>6002312
Superglue isn't strong enough to hold it. Currently trying Tamiya Cement, unless someone can give me a better option I'm gonna wait and see if that works.
The main concern is if the glue is strong enough to hold the plastic when the ball enters it. This is incredibly difficult to do, from whatever experience I have.
When do you think we'll start seeing the new Bumblebee on eBay?
>>6002318
Maybe some two part epoxy and let it cure for like two full days. Or that cool glue that comes with a little uv light to cure it. That stuff is legit strong.
>>6002318
you could pin it, but that requires tools you might not have, and if you don't it'll probably cost more to buy them than to just buy a new figure.
thinking about picking up Lg-ex black convoy, the mold any good?
>>6002340
>>6002318
Tamiya Cement wouldn't work.
You need Plastic Weld like this anon said >>6002312.
I would suggest this brand because I've tried and tested it and it works like magic on even load bearing parts.
It literally melts the plastic and you might have to do some light sanding afterwards.
>>6002343
Problem isn't with Star Saber, it's with Victory Leo. Not sure which screws to loosen.
>>6002343
Also, I already ordered the replacement ratchets. Cardboard feels sloppy.
>>6002344
3 top lower leg screws. There are 4 on the black part of the legs, the upper 3 parts you just have to loosen a bit. Check Bobo skelington's review he actually talks about it as well.
>>6002346
I actually got that idea from Vangelus when he did the same for his CW Motormaster when he got those ratchet upgrades. I could also go out and try hunting the proper sized washer like what the Chinese reviewer did since that can also do the job but after 2 days of going back and forth to the hardware store I just went for the cheaper and more manageable alternative and seriously just some elbow grease and that shit will tighten it. Then again seeing you have a lot of money from all those 3p, spending $9 USD on 2 springs and 2 small ratchets is probably nothing to you. Would have done the same if I lived in America but in Cucknada, it's $25 CAD for me if I wanted that because the shipping is stupid expensive.
>>6002356
>Then again seeing you have a lot of money from all those 3p
Aha ha... I may have a problem.
My Toys R Us had like 9 RID Starscreams, and they're all discounted to $9.99.
So I figured why the fuck not, how can you go wrong with a $9.99 exclusive deluxe of almost-G1 Starscream? I noticed some of them have stress marks on the shoulder joints so I was careful to pick one without any visible marks.
Holy shit how wrong I was. The inside of the cockpit was already cracked. The hips are looser than my Skullcruncher's. The plastic feels weak as fuck, and the transformation forces you to use a ton of force to tab everything together (easily fixable by shaving the pegs down, but I just can't be bothered).
This thing is going straight to the Toys for Tots bin, but I almost feel sorry for the kid who gets it.

point taken, but that's not the MP's fault. it's goal isnt to look better than the old toy, its goal is to look exactly like the cartoon, which it does
>>6002463
What I would recommend? That plasticweld unfortunately or if you know how to use a solder, you can try this method.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kibSo9JqWyo
Soldering iron should be cheap enough especially if you're living in Asia.
>>6002467
I have a soldering iron, so I guess I'll try that as a last resort if I seriously can't get ahold of the plasticweld and nothing else works.
>>6002469
That plastic weld chemical really better than using super glue or just regular old cement. I actually got into an argument with guy who was just calling it a plastic cement when usually plastic cements has a rubbery texture to it while this is just pure liquid that actually evaporates if you're not fast enough and it really does melt and meld plastic together.
>>6002471
Yep, I remember that argument. That was a long one.
But yeah, I'm gonna try and see if that stuff is obtainable in Asia. I really don't want to overpay for a bottle of glue though.

;_;
>AUSTRALIA WINS AGAIN
I saw via seibertron something about Australia getting the new combiner force RID legion toys, and wow, my own job, a fucking supermarket got them in, and I am impressed, at least aesthetically.
Better pledge up them joints anons, spring load is fine since all the "play" is in the arms, but starscream could be a bit tighter, all I know is I don't need the deluxe.
Today is a good day, I just wish we got the last lot of legions with bisk, was pissed we got the revision case with the blizzard optimus instead
>>6002335
Its kinda limited in articulation but it looks damn nice, kinda fiddly to transform though.
If he looks too cool to pass up chances are it is
>>6002581
If Springload's mouth can't open, then I feel like the One-step might actually end up being the better toy this time.
>>6002587
>one-step toy surpasses (insert toy of same character from different size class here)
That's a first.
>>6002587
Oh he does, that said I got the one stepat half price so if anything this little froggie works out to be more expensive.
>>6002589
Oh shit. That's a fantastic legion then. Underbite's jaws couldn't even open so I didn't have high expectations. It looks like this Springload also doesn't have fake back wheels? Or does it?
>>6002581
Woah, I didn't know Starscream and Springload were coming to Legion class. Who else is upcoming?
>>6002589
AMAZING
>>6002581
Dem legion class figures.
Pocket REEEEEEEE
>>6002590
Didn't even know about underbite's jaw, and I own him, I need to give his legion more love than the freebie one step I have it seems
As for fake wheels he does, they're underneath the front tires in 4x4 form, molded very differently than the real rolling ones
>>6002591
The current case only had starscream, springload, the orignal optimus and grimlock I'm afraid, no idea on future waves
>>6002592
Its why I bought him again
>>6002595
It looks like his has a completely different vehicle for an alt mode.
>>6002596
It's arguably more accurate to the show than the onestep's flattened monstertruck.
>>6002596
Its more show accurate than the one step, looked like some muscle car, least now he looks like a proper offroad figure
>>6002589
MASSIVE urge to update this.
>>6002622
Why not? He's only a Legion after all.
Also, didn't you get the TAV version of the One-Step Springload?
>>6002625
>Why not?
Don't have it yet
> didn't you get the TAV version
Nah man, even I would not spend extra $$$ on one-steps.
>>6001954
An extra $20 plus international shipping for better paint apps is worth it man. I don't see how Hasbro can charge $15 for what's essentially a happy meal toy.
>>6002632
This is why I get bulk orders from hlj, last one cost me $100 in shipping.

My UW computron brought several friends with him so to speak
Evasion Mode Optimus Prime
Yes/no /tfg/ ???
Ha, couldn't believe kids toys brought people joy, no matter, I'm happy I got them.
But now for a more serious talk, mp thrust, I like him, I am however concerned with the seeker mold though, while his qc is top notch (no chips/misassembled parts/missing parts) I wonder about the ratchets, they hold in place but they have alot of "give" so you can rattle him around but the space between the ratchets can lead him to falling during certain standing poses.
I can't compare him fairly to my past mp11's as they're old hasbro figures that were second hand though I swear my thundercracker was tighter ratchet wise.
But a more important note, while attempting to do this one of the peg holes that hold the wings to the body during transformation has stress fractures, I may of been a little rough maybe seeing how his right wing kept untabbing itself but its something to note.
Overall, much better than the ramjet, but still, an old mold, fans of seekers only, really wish they could of done something about his "cone" head though in robot form, of the fact nothing in the back can peg in unlike the original mp11 mold before the variants.
Not much else to talk about him really, apart from the gap in the wings in robot mode but promo pics shown it, and yes the chest fan boobs hold in place when moving the arms, they twitch but they don't flip up unlike my hasbro starscream

Different anon. Is MB Evasion Prime using the mouth, or the faceplate?
>>6002703
Faceplate, the reason why I'm buying it
>>6002065
They scale well imo. Though I like the idea of FortMax of having two (or three bodies) that he can interchange.
>>6002065
If I could get that Botcon Scorp I'd literally never need another version of him. The scale and mold are perfect imo.
>>6002710
Same. And it kind of makes since (in like my own headcanon I guess). He's not as useful if he's always a giant walking prison; his actually personality should be able to swap out to other bodies.

Anon, those little things aren't worth $20+. You're paying for the brand name and the "premium" markup.
>>6001461
At least he's not like Mitchsantona who's reviews just consist of showing the toy and not giving his thoughts on it, he has such an annoying voice as well.
He's the TF equivalent of Jinx
Who else is really enjoying the micro play pattern?
>>6002749
Not him but awhile back my currency was 1000yen to a dollar so it worked out well to buying a tm and the figure, now its just sad.
Oh well, not fighting to get a matching brainstorm at the least
>>6002754
>not giving his thoughts on it
Its kinda funny, one one hand he's giving us, the viewers the ability to make our own calls and without bias, people can sometimes bitch about stuff like that (like with vidya reviews when reviewers give certain scores regardless of franchise).
On the other hand its kinda the whole point of a review, they give their impressions which can (sometimes) help when making a choice and its up the the viewer to agree or not provided they aren't some blind drone
>>6002763
>>6002763
Loving that color coordination.
>>6002749
Yeah, that's what I mean. Without the dumb little buddy vehicles, the price would've been closer to $24 instead of $32. That's not too far from the $19 Hasbro is charging after you fight your way through some of the shittiest distribution in years.
Anyway, it's not like I've bought much from this run of Titans/Legends. So far, just L-Galvatron (meh), L-Weirdwolf (cool), and L-FortMax (not opened yet). I have L-Ginrai and T-Triggerhappy on order. Might get Getaway if there's not a fight involved, mostly because of how he cucked Hotrod's gang in the comics. Never cared for Brainstorm either until IDW gave him a personality...
>>6002771
i think its a waste of time watching a review if it doesn't at least tell you the good and bad of a product.
>>6002772
What's that base from?
>>6002737
No he did. He's talking about the moral of the movie. So your image applies to you.
>>6002020
i genuinely want
G1 or Titans Returns
http://www.strawpoll.me/11565477
>>6002883
Well Titans Return is the same but with more articulation, so that.
>>6002883
Much as I love the old bricks, TR stuff is easily better because it has articulation beyond "Maybe can move the shoulder and elbow if you're lucky".
>>6002883
Getaway looks lame though. He's the only one from the wave I'm skipping. I would have been fine if they had just made him a Rodimus redeco and saved the Chromedome redeco for someone else. It would have been a little closer to IDW Getaway.
Or at least given him a new chest.
>>6002883

>>6002901
Movie "Breakaway" still is the best Getaway.
>>6003062
how about a Black Zarak or a Monstructor, or maybe some of the Euro exclusives? It's nice I can get a decent g1 Prime for $40, but how about a BZ that doesn't crumble to dust when breathed upon?
Just saw Peaugh's review for TR Megatron. On the one hand the actual engineering looks great, but god fucking damnit the paintjob (or rather lack thereof) is abysmal. And don't get me started on the stickers.
I'll wait for Blitzwing. At the very least if the Hasbro version sucks, the Takara version will probably be better.
>>6003074
If it had a spoiler in vehicle mode, It'd help so much.
I think a good design trait they should have had is that the Car mode does could have opened giving Getaway the sticking out doors.
>>6002901
>wanting anything to look like IDW
Is there a picture of MP Primal in his robot mode without his chest flipped?
I want to see if he looks cool with munky chest
>>6003074
Now I want a random toy from several years ago and I'm already looking at it on ebay. That's why this board is dangerous.
>>6003103
Honestly it looks like they did the same thing with Megs that they did with Blurr/Scourge. One color of plastic, absolutely minimal paint at best, and then shoved the money into another figure.
>>6001890
It's possible to like both.
>>6003182
>Brainstorm has tons of useless paint tho. the whole, shield, waist and arms are covered on paint that could've been molded plastic and no one would've noticed the difference.
Like I said, Blurr got shafted in every aspect, he's got one color of plastic, absolutely minimal paint, and two tampos. But look at his moldmate, Brainstorm. 4 colors of plastic, tons of paint, 5 tampos, etc.
It really looks like Blurr got shafted so the money could've been put to other figures.
>>6003138
Brainstorm really throws me off, that color of clear yellow they used looks like aged plastic so he looks like a really old toy
>>6003182
>shield, waist and arms are covered on paint that could've been molded plastic
You realize those were painted because they were gangmolded with a different plastic color.
So if they DID mold them in the proper color then other areas of the toy would have been molded in the wrong color and either would have had to be painted, defeating the purpose, or left unpainted and being the wrong color.
It's not like every single part of the figure gets it's own separate injection mold.
>>6003200
It just feels like they didn't plan for Brainstorm when doing the mold layout for Blurr, though we won't for sure.
If Blurr's arms are gangmolded with the chest or legs, just imagine how many Blurr arms are discarded in the process of making Brainstorm.
Was messing around with some parts and UW Bruticus, and turns out that the PE Menasor torso set actually fits him too. Not perfectly, but well enough to make me wonder why they never bothered retooling it for the dudicus.
When will takara show off their wave 3 TR legends versions? show me the gods!
Whelp time to see if I wasted 76 USD on these not Breasted guys.
>>6003198
It actually matches the original toy color very well. And it's more orangish than yellow, just like a lot of stuff, lighting matters in photos.
>>6003234
>$76
Holy shit, where'd you find him so cheap?
Return of paint apps on fritction points, especially on Dezarus
Really bums me they keep doing this, Hasbro is usually really good about avoiding that yet these gift sets keep doing it.
Ironbison has me worried as fuck, that plastic looks and feels dangerously close to gold plastic but is just different enough I can't tell if it can fall victim to GPS.
Guyhawk is a nice solid pink that doesn't seem to be a stress risk I was fearing being Breast Cancer pink.
>>6003198
That dudes photos are oversaturated as fuck, don't think the figures look like that.
>>6003242
>paint apps on fritction points
What do you mean? I don't understand.
>>6003247
Paint on places that rub or slide and will eventually wear away. I would assume.
Joints on all these guys are tight, almost too tight. I was worried I was going to shatter Fellbat on his legs and wings they were almost fused in place. Paint on all of it is great other than again, most of this is going to chip because of it being on friction points and I am a man child that loves playing with toys
>>6003239
China eBay storefront
No tracking and vague as fuck if it was in box or loose, I took a huge ass risk but it somehow paid off. Surprised no bugs where in it.
Decided to mix up as usual and have legs for arms and arms for legs.
>>6003250
Yeah sorry I'm nursing off a back injury and a cold so I'm not great on spell checking or making much sense.
>>6003257
So just to show they are certainly fixing those issues the Skylynx mold had greatly. Got this pose in one try. Again my only issue is each time I move the leg joints I'm facing a good amount of tight resistance.
>>6003242
>Hasbro is usually really good about avoiding that
Only when their toys lack paint budget.
>that plastic looks and feels dangerously close to gold plastic
Nah, Ironbison's plastic isn't that glittery. And GPS doesn't only happen to gold plastic you know, it applies to all metallic plastics so if they still fuck up the formula for those now, then Hellbat and the entire line of RID15 is fucked.
>>6003253
>Joints on all these guys are tight, almost too tight
You must be lucky because most sets seem to have much looseness in the jet molds.
>>6003257
Where do you think paint rub will be a major issue on him?
What I really like to know is why they didn't give these the fist and feet of Computron. Seems really weird they used them once and stop.
Not complaining mind you those feet suck on smooth surfaces.
>>6003263
Not him but the entire upper head of Dezarus is painted (I believe it's molded in teal plastic). It will probably chip around the hinge since it's rubbing against the neck piece.
>>6003262
>>6003263
Dezarus is mostly in his head/ mouth neck wings back tail and upper torso. He is going to age horribly.
Ironbison and Drillhorn have paint apps in the chest(where the shoulders make the front sides of the tank) Drillhorns drill part is painted on the parts that attach to the tank mount.
>>6003274
Also, the wings and winglets on the jet molds are mostly entirely painted.
>>6003265
>those feet suck on smooth surfaces.
Smooth surfaces are the bane of most toys. Some pretty easy poses become damn near impossible unless the table (or whatever) surface has a bit of grip to it.
>>6003274
>>6003277
Damn, that sounds rough. Still, very nice looking set.
>>6003277
So that's where all the paint budget went: Liokaiser and Brainstorm.
>>6003260
Really? Shit I hope it's just a bad batch and most are good qc
Paint issues and weak sixth member aside this is a really good set
>>6002883
They all look good except Getaway. The name Twinferno is also cooler than Doublecross.
>No abominus
>No predaking
So is it pretty much confirmed that they'll never get an official update?
>>6003298
I'm actually quite interested to know how well are the Jet-arms' elbows on your set. Mine and some other anon that got it early had difficulties staying 90 deg without some floor polish to tighten it up.
>>6003302
Both are pretty good names but there's a nice subtlety to doublecross.
Why are rights issues with names even a thing by the way?
I thought they could pretty reliably name characters like "Autobot Bumblebee" (where autobot is a part of the name) so they could use whatever the hell they want?
>>6003307
"As soon as I figure out how to turn a jet into a bird."
>>6003307
Abominus is probably fucked.
Predaking doesn't need to scramble gimmick and could pretty easily be done any time as a titan class set like devestator
>>6002883
I like em both. G1 has its own charm for being bricks that a fully articulated figure won't have. But a fully articulated re-dun also has its charm that a G1 brick would never have. For me they're both toys to play with anyways.
>>6003313
It's possible they just don't care. It's not like these guys show up very often in shows/comics/toys or are popular characters.
>>6003316
>"As soon as I figure out how to turn a jet into a bird."
Turn jet wings into bird wings. Jet nosecone assembly into bird head and neck, add hinge for the head to move up and down.
Add balljoint feet to the side of the legs ala Skullcruncher.
Heads up folks.

>>6003313
>Autobot Bumblebee
The prefix only strengthens the name. If another company had the name Bumblebee registered then Hasbro can't use it period.
Its why we had Hot Shot instead of Bumblebee during Armada.
>>6003317
I could really see Abominus sharing moulds with Piranhacon, Predaking, and Monstructor if Hastak really wanted to. Or even retooling existing beastformer moulds in TR.
I honestly wouldn't mind Abominus as some con exclusive recolor of whatever molds they feel like.
But still, it's not like he's a literally who, and new molds are far from unwelcome in combiner wars.
>>6003257
>I'm nursing off a back injury and a cold so I'm not great on spell checking
That is no excuse. I was extremely sick with a high fever last week and I still take my time to spell check stuff if needed to. Even if I'm about to die, I would spell check my text first.
>>6003328
With their love for mold reuse, if they do enough beastformers to make a combiner, they will probably do an entire line of beastformers.

Combine arms are about as strong as any other

>>6003316
Your bro, Aaron has already figured it out for you.
>>6003265
It's doubly weird that they broke them out again for Baldigus.
>>6003351
I didn't even know that was possible. It's ratchet gears that make that work right? I'm not sure how that goes wrong
>>6003364
It definitely happened with Skylynx. His legs would flop like limp noodles.
>>6003364
Ah, the looseness with the Jet molds were in the balljoints and hinges, i.e the Combiner's elbows. The ratcheted combiner shoulders are fine.
>>6003349
No, it's not messed up because knowing how to spell well is a skill you need when you actually start working in the real world. You know a job that doesn't pay minimum wage.
So no I won't lower my standards even if I'm in a Chinese Marco board. IT doesn't matter if they will forget I existed, I only care that I did the right thing.
>>6003363
Well that was a Takara exclusive set and Car Robots was like warmly revived over there so they likely needed something to sizzle the buyers interest.
>>6003257
Beeteedubs, when doing tank arms, fold the limb bot's arms outward 90 degrees so the limb bot's shoulders are pointing inward toward the torso, that's the official config, there's pegs for it, and it allows more elbow articulation.
>>6003363
They broke out

Now if only they buy up and replace a perfectly healthy business, come to my country, replace said business with worse stores, manage the entire situation extremely poorly and then leave the country costing tens of thousands of jobs, that would be great.

>>6003370
>Car Robots was like warmly revived over there
Actually it failed to live up to expectations and Takara just stopped releasing new Transformers after it ended, until Armada started two years later. Between that they were only making reissues
>>6003384
I always found the whole three cours to be unusual. Did it end early?
>>6003368
Im dumb and should have figure that out, yeah they have no issues
