Old thread (>>6006105) is past bump limit. Continue here.
What are some Transformers you want to get modern figures but probably never will, /tfg/?
>>6007719
You could repaint Rewind.
Of all the TM I've gotten so far, Nightbeat's the only one that has a shade of blue that works well with the Blur mold. Why was it so difficult to do this with some of the other TM and bodies?
>>6007722
Japan store exclusive, available by Japan post only to verified Japanese addresses only, completely unavailable online, head, arms, thighs, and feet are all painted in the current factories.
And it's $110.
>>6007730
You know, it would be cool if they did something like those "build a Droid" R2-D2 figures from Disney, and let you make your own version of the humanoid cassette, sticker and all.
>>6007719
I want a Rosanna, but I'm guessing they're already planning on doing it soon™ and they might release her with Headmaster Minerva unless they actually give Minerva a body.
>>6007741
Takara might make one. Unlike the other Headmaster Jr's, they have no reason to wait for Hasbro to make her since they wont.
>>6007744
I'm hoping they do give her a body since you know they have a boner for fembots and Minerva is their ultimate fembot.
>>6007744
It's also a good way for them to use TR Rewind's head.
What's the best combiner ? And why it is [spoiler]Bruticus[/spoiler] ?
>>6007754
You meant the Nightbeat head, right? They're already using it for, Sherlock Nightbeat, and what may be Beast Wars Soundwave
>>6007728
Too bad it's nearly impossible to get the head to fit for the drill mode.
>>6007768
>What's the best combiner ?
Honestly, they're all pretty good despite a few faults here or there. The most solid overall in terms of having no defects though are definitely anything with the Superion body and CW Bruticus though.
Worst overall is easily Skylynx, followed by pre-fix Menasor, and post-fix Menasor. Menasor-with-PE-kits is a solid B- though.
>>6007768
>What's the best combiner ? And why it is [spoiler]Bruticus[/spoiler] ?
are we talking cw toys, or just in general?
if it's the latter, then:
>unique and cool silhoutte
>all limbs are wildly different
>has the most guns of any combiner
>military theme means he's not gay like defensor is
>>6007749
Arcee is the famous fembot though.
>>6007719
>What are some Transformers you want to get modern figures but probably never will, /tfg/?
Squeezeplay.
>>6007811
>Arcee famous took 30 years before any proper toy
>Minerva has a $3000 toy because of how rare she is and because of her popularity on to of it
K.
>>6007804
You mean the guy that only needs a minor fix to be the second best combiner, unlike Motormaster who's impossible to fix unless you buy extra parts or get lucky with one that has the fixed ratchets?
So I'm going to be making a custom combiner out of "spare" Combiner Wars figures, with a "theme" of obscure characters with almost no fictional appearances/characterization. I've got Alpha Bravo and Rook, who will be unmodified, Dragstrip, Firefly and SIlverbolt. Dragstrip I'm thinking of turning into the old Rotor Force dude Leadfoot, but what about Firefly and Silverbolt? Who should they be made into? Also, what should the combined mode be called?
>>6007852
seems like a silly idea? isnt most of TFers obsecure?
and do alpha bravo and rook count? arent they in the modern comics and new app games at least? i'd say that makes them a cut above most other obsecure guys
>>6007860
Oh it's a silly idea for certain. It's just the toys in question aren't in good enough condition to sell and I don't want them to "go to waste". As for Alpha Bravo and Rook, they've got very little characterization at all in IDW- Alpha Bravo's personality is "generic good guy" and Rook hasn't done anything at all.
>>6007873
Alpha Bravo = Rescue Bot Blades
>What are some Transformers you want to get modern figures but probably never will, /tfg/?
I'd love to get a slavishly done new figure of Polar Claw. Sadly, Beast Wars doesn't get many homages, and when it does it's focussed on show characters. I doubt we'll see most of the non-show Beast Wars characters ever again, unless they had a repaint used prominently somewhere else(like Sky-byte)
>>6007890
They reused the Polarclaw name for a one-off decepticon in RiD15
>>6007852
Dude, just buy a Cyclonus/Sky Lynx and use Alpha Bravo, Rook, Offroad, and Blast Off to form a group of new guys introduced in CW.
>>6007832
Yes, I mean the guy that has shit default ratchets and is a worse overall torso than Motormaster straight out of the box. Because if you want to bring in modifications, Motormaster gets a shitton better with them too.
>>6007927
I meant to include this. I liked him in SotW.
>>6007925
And you still need to pay a ton to get Motormaster to work well, while Sky Lynx only needs a screw driver, and small piece of card board, or even a chunk of the package he came in, in other words, things you can find in your own home and it only took me 7 minutes.
>>6007927
Eh the problem with Polarclaw is that his show model is heavily modified from Steeljaw, who doesn't have the best Warrior class toy and I'm not sure anyone will want a retool of that.
It's kinda funny how the show is already repainting and retooling the transformers yet most of them probably won't receive the toy treatment...
>>6007939
True. But at least Polarclaw wouldn't need the tail and there's a decent fix to make the legs a little better.
>>6007939
Man, if Hasbro put some effort into those camo repaints I know I'd totally sucked it all up.
>>6007950
>Hasbro
>effort
Pick one.
What's up tfg?
I don't come here very often because this place makes me spend irresponsible amounts of money if I stay here too long.
Anything cool come out/get announced? I already found out about the gun Megatron MP.
>>6007768
Anything using the Superion torso.
It's the best base to build a combiner on, it's the most solid and doesn't have any play issues.
Limbs are an afterthought.
>>6007719
If OTFC lasted one more year we would have gotten a titans return mold repait of that
>>6007955
>Anything cool come out/get announced?
Nope. Just more mediocre retools.
>>6007890
Forget Megatron, Dinobot, Terrorsor, Black Arachnia, Silverbolt, or any other beast wars guys.
Killer Punch needs a Masterpiece ASAP.
>>6007719
Straixs
I mean Scounger
I mean transmutate
I mean Alpha Q!
Yeah him
>>6007967
Why is killer punch so expensive now? What is it?
>>6007975
The mold never got reused, for whatever reason. Its always been elusive, being a secondary Predacon from Neo.
>>6007719
There should be a term for describing expensive literal who character purgatory.
I'd love a new JRX but nobody would ever greenlight a decent toy of him in this day and age unless they put him in some new cartoon or what have you to actually make him relevant again.
>>6007990
RiD was pretty much the peak of retail toylines so unless its MP or 3P, it wouldn't be any better.
>>6007983
Isn't it just a retool of the triceratops mold that was meh at best?
Hi, guy from the last thread here who was looking for something to buy just for nostalgia fun. I went to Walmart and they had a sadly small collection, the best thing I could find was a Combiner Wars Sky Warp for $45, how'd I do?
>>6008070
It's a fun mold with a lot of mileage if you like jets
Personally I really enjoyed that mold and it's changeability with all the weapon pegs.
>>6007990
Doesnt help the western market isn't into trains like Japan
That's what really hurts ever seeing a remake
Can I request some pictures of Skullmaster in robot form?
>>6008091
Ok good, it reminds me of the G1 reissue Thundercracker I had years ago, I just wish it wasn't so expensive, back in my day (Jesus I'm only 18) you could have Energon Omega Supreme or Unicron for that price
>>6007719
I really don't think we will see a radiowave of any kind, MP or otherwise.
I hope I'm wrong more so with the MP, I love an excuse to buy the mold again
>>6008096
Price inflation my friend, back then the dollar went further
Ever since 2008 the dollar has lost a lot of spending power
>>6007852
What about buying CW Ironhide and Wheeljack and using the Toyhax sticker sets on them, they turn into totally different characters.
>>6007741
I sure would love to see a neo kiss-players set using the MP Molds for Ravage, Laserbeak, and Rumble, I guess. Close enough, until we get a MP Blaster with his tapes.
The KFC Rosanna is okay but you can only get her with Doubledeck.
>>6008098
>I love an excuse to buy the mold again
Don't worry, they'll probably re-release Shockwave in at least two different other colors, since his default one is accurate to neither the toy nor the show.
>>6007681
Groove and First Aid are the legs, Rook and Prowl are the arms. Prowl is slightly modded so the hood folds up in a bit nicer looking way.

>>6007994
>RiD
>peak of retail toylines
I love RiD as much as the next guy but no. Rid was far from the best retail TF toyline it had it's lion's share of problems and Rail Racer was no exception.
Including being way undersized for their pricepoint. All the individual guys look like hot shit in bot mode with their awful proportions. And the combined mode while decent has it's problems. Like the overly long forearms and the fact that 75% of rapid run just makes a backpack that makes him back heavy. A new Rail Racer made of 3 modern Voyagers could easily be better than the Original.
>>6008154
What awful proportions? They look like they walked off the screen!
>>6008154
>Including being way undersized for their pricepoint.
They where about right for the era. it was still around beast era when they where made, and figures where smaller. Besides, it was only $5 more than deluxes. BM Megatron was tiny, and BW Transmetal Megas where also fairly small. Besides, the US retail versions already had less paint than the Takara versions, and that was in 2001. Now they'd have even less paint, and probably ugly alt-modes.
>>6008178
you're thinking of animated, rid2015 could of been better
>>6008145
Is Thew good?
>>6008178
Nah, the show definitely fudged it a bit.
>>6008194
He's thewnanimously awesome.
>>6008194
He was. Then he became a parody of himself.
>>6007817
>dai atlas
>>6007776
>Beast Wars Soundwave
I know of Convobat, but what's this about BW Soundwave? You mean the Animorphs remold? Where was this ?
>>6007818
While that may be true, Arcee still edges out Minerva on a basis of renown. Id say after Arcee, Minerva and Blackarachnia would be the next most prominent gynoids
>>6008223
At the end of the Convobat mini comic, Aligator Megatron runs off with someone using the Mindwipe body off to the Legends Universe. The character was using the Nightbeat head, and people assume it's Soundwave since the head has a resembles to the original figures.
>>6007768
Custom config
>>6007852
Well obviously use Offroad.
Id also check Ebay for any G2 Combiner Wars figures sold separately. You can find G2 CW figures for fairly cheap
Then use the ID Your Figure function at TFU.INFO by color and pick a figure that matches the color of
Like for G2 Silverbolt you can enter "Blue, Jet" and come up with Aero-Bot
http://www.tfu.info/2004/Go-Bots/Aero-Bot/aero-bot.htm
>>6008270
Maybe also get a sheet of faction symbols of your choice from Reprolabels so they can all be on the same side
>>6008270
And TJmax's getting Superion, and Menasor for 40 bucks, so if you like them, go for it (Menasor's better in the paint deparment, but Superion has the better torso).
>>6008319
bet you he also bought those when they were on clearance for $4.99
for scum he's clever
>>6008319
Okay.
>>6008319
>when the cheap scum rips themselves off
>>6008319
Galvatron and Sentinel shelf warm too much, Silverbolt would be a more welcomed sight.
>>6008319
Did they have the long rifles?
Anyone know if there's some paint or sharpie that's close to the turquoise on Brainstorms canopy? A friend found me one when he went to the states, so it's not like I can walk to a store return it and get another one with less paint chip.
>>6008332
Doesn't look like they do. Guess he just bought them for Bruticus since he left the shield in the package.
>>6008332
I didn't see them in there, but I wasn't really looking for them either.
>>6008321
Oh shit, where were they on clearance for $5?
>>6008319

I...I don't know who is getting played here, really.

that's some foul play type shit. Wish I worked at returns just so I can be like anon why the fuck is silverbolt in galvatrons packaging do you taketh me as a fool.
>>6008346
Hasbro Toy shop, Amazon and a few Targets/Walmarts cleared out their old stock.
Hasbro was 6.49
Amazon was 4.99

Anybody own the Transformers Go combiners? How are they?

Haha fuck that looks so bad
just saw peaugh's TR megs review

>>6008395
When did amazon get that low? The lowest I saw was 12.
>>6008429
no fucking idea, but fuck he already have all the new legends, gnaw, kickback and bumblebee and both the voyagers, megatron and OP

Galvatron and Sentinel are both pretty decent figures. There was no ripping oneself off
>>6008457
Don't mind him, it's bait.
>>6008319
Walmart's a pretty scummy company so serves them right
>>6008425
It's fine
>>6008429
I don't like peaugh either, but in what way exactly does the term cuckolding apply to him?
>>6008470
To be fair probably nothing. He just irritates me because he used to do reviews with enthusiasm and love for the figure. Now he just drones on listlessly about a toy for 5 minutes after spending 20 on the box, neither segment actually describing what he liked or didn't like about the figure. If he doesn't want to review toys anymore then he should stop doing it and get a real job.
>>6008442
>just because he can scramble doesn't mean you should
There's no law that dictates that only ONE WAY is acceptable.
Try to think outside the box once in a while. Granted I do realize that that's asking a bit too much.
>>6008466
No it's not, it's fucking hideous.
The only way you could make it worse is to do it with UW Bruticus.
>>6008267
I pity your toys.
>>6008472
Then... just say you don't like him.
Not that I don't agree with you. But be above the trendy buzzwords
>>6008473
It doesn't look bad because it's scrambled, it looks bad because it's horrendously mistransformed in ways that fuck up the look of the toy.
>>6008478
Yes, it is fine. A person has every right to display his toys in whatever way he or she wants.
Muh dick!

Why are you so adamant on defending your hideously ugly "custom configuration"? Just fuck off already, it's clear that no one here likes it.
>>6008486
Too many cool modern toys I could buy for that money. The only novelty in that is it being an early fembot release.
I hope the TR box sets are the same number or greater than the Combiner Wars ones.Essentially we got double the amount of waves with the box sets and they capped off the line with Liokaiser which was something that nobody would have thought would happen.
Even though three CW box sets were g2 combiners it made sense because those actually existed. The headmasters however are all G1 themed and they seem to be willing to go to greater lengths to get more lesser known and nitche characters. We could easily get shit like Minerva and other characters redone for the line.

>>6008352
Pretty much this. I wouldn't be surprised if those two drop to Silverbolt's price by Christmas.
Enjoying my new Skywarp, just wish he was about half the price he's selling for as he's really not huge and he doesn't even have a gimmick. He does come with like 7 guns though
>>6008559
>>6008559
He's very sexy looking.
>>6008559
Glad you're enjoying it Anon. Leaders usually are that expensive and lately haven't really had any gimmicks except in the current line though.
You're pretty much just paying the price because Leaders are more plastic/paint.
Was messing around with Alpha Trion's lion arms to fill up the gaps on his waist, ended up with this. Grandpa looks like a fucking Hindu deity.
>>6008559
I have the Jetfire version of the mold, which kinda had a gimmick in that you could remove its battle mask to reveal a face.
>>6007990
I was thinking that they might be able to make a modernized version of this and sell it to a western audience by varying the train types that make them up, after all the original was just 3 slightly different bullet trains which were all Japanese. I was thinking maybe only leave the leader as a bullet train who would be the combined mode's head and arms, then they could make a smaller guy to be the midsection, perhaps a subway car (I live in New York so I might have a bit of bias since my brain defaults to that when I think "train") and finally the dude who becomes the legs could be a huge diesel or steam train. It might be hard to think of them as a unit since they'd need different kinds of track to run on, but the increased variation in the character looks could be a nice selling point.
>>6008603
That's the only thing I don't like about trainformers. Literally all of them except like 4 across the lot are bullet trains. Bullet trains are cool and all, but I want a good old American workhorse.
>>6008565
>that pic
that's my headcanon for him now
it's his HITSATSU now
>>6007990
>>6008092
>>6008603
They market Tomy Plarail toys overseas as it is, bullet trains as bullet trains. I think kids generally don't really care where's the train's from as long as it's a fun toy.
>>6008667
All the CG robots for this line looks awesome, to bad none of toys look remotely close.
What's a better hammer for Leader Magnus?
>>6008748
The one he comes with. It has grooves along the handle that slot into the arm-guard, allowing him to actually hold the hammer.
How long does it usually take for RK's customer service to respond to emails? What's the success rate with their replacement policy? Anyone have any experience with this?
so i don't transform my toys alot but i do pose them plenty
will this guy be able to withstand occassionaly posing or should i wait for the 2nd batch?
i can get him for 60 bucks now
>>6007955
Have you bought any Titans Return? Besides a few hiccups with quality control, you are sure to end up enjoying any figure you like the look of.
Generations when?
Not that he really needs the update, his existing toy is already a near perfect match for the show, but he needs something to put him back on the shelves.

>>6009137
>Katoki
So it's good?
>>6008937
I really like the way the Tanuki's upper torso splits in half to form the shoulders and how the head fills in the resulting hole
That's just clever
>>6009137
I like long legs on both women and Gundams. In fact, Long legs are generally considered an attractive trait; I don't see why that can't apply to mecha as well. /m/'s just full of angry little midgets.
On that note, I generally like Katoki's style. He's not nearly as convoluted as a lot of people make him out to be, and in the same vein, he's not as simplistic as others make him out to be either. When he's given free reign to go nuts, he can pump out some pretty gnarly stuff (his work in Sentinel and some from Unicorn come to mind.)
In addition, a lot of his original work actually tends to have rather thick legs compared to most designers (Victory, Sinanju, Unicorn, EX-S, etc,) which in turn tends to make the torso look small (another issue a lot of people have.) He's not my favorite mechanical designer, but he's definitely in my top five. My only real problem with Katoki is when he redesigns something just for the sake of having lineart of an existing design in his pose. That's just stupid and a waste of his talents. Unfortunately, it's what he's called upon for most often.

If they run out of 1986 movie characters to reference, Armada isn't a bad place to turn to. Both series are based around Unicron anyway.
Speaking of the 1986 movie, if they make a Headmaster'ed Wreckgar, Sideways will be a natural candidate for repainting.

>In an undocumented feature, his tail can also attach to him by sliding the square holes in its exterior through the crocodile toes on his forearms.
I have no idea what the hell this means, sure can't get anything like that to work on mine.
>>6009308
You stick the white toe parts (well just the two outer toes) through the holes in the tail (the two holes at its widest part). He can hold it in front like a shield that way without it being a weird concave shield like if he held it by the handle.
>>6009300
I'm debating whether or not to buy one and I want an opinion from a regular person that owns it
>>6009290
Why not just look for reviews?
>>6009154
>>6009167
I should clarify. Katoki is not a bad designer by any means, but he is known for slapping long legs on whatever he touches, whether or not it works for the overall design.
With the Bruticus in question, it's a case of the latter.

>>6008983
Hoi doi why bring forum drama here?
>>6008194
I watch him for humor, not legit toy reviews. That being said, Ruination Beatdown was super disappointing.
I watch Skullface for legit information.
>>6009381
and then he started doing TR deluxes.
>>6009392
>Notes it is the same thing but with more articulation in both reviews.
Ayy
>>6009396
At least he's aware of it.
>>6008820
his figure is ok, i dont like the clear plastic, the head sculpt and I wish he had his pistols but other than that hes alright.
>>6008194
Just watch him. His videos are about as long as a pop song, so you'll figure out soon enough whether you like them or not.
>>6009415
He's alright. I watched some of his vids. I definitely prefer reviews where the reviewer is behind the camera though.
>>6007768
Best to worse torso mold (assuming no QC issues)
Silverbolt
Skylynx
Hotspot
Motomaster
Best over all limb mold best to worst (assuming no QC)
Rook
Dead End
Air raid
Drag Strip
Wild Rider
Alpha Bravo
Firefly
Breakdown
Groove
Brawl
While OC as fuck the last two sets of CW are the best
>>6009344
They're selling compubots individually?
>>6009434
No friend just Betatron there (that's his real combined torso name)
He was a filler for Skylynx with Onslaught because fans would have been pissed at too much Skylynx
>>6009444
Oh well that's neat I guess.
Nosecone aside he's my favorite part of UW Computron, it's a shame that CW version has like one color of red though.
CW Liokaiser is the best CW set around. The Drill tank works better when you can attach a gunfoot and laser cannon on the side in vehicle mode.
>>6009433
>Best to worse torso mold (assuming no QC issues)
>Silverbolt
>Skylynx
>Hotspot
>Motomaster
Hold up. Theres more granularity there than that.
SSSTYLISH Tier: Silverbolt (and all remolds), CW Bruticus,
A Tier: UW Bruticus
B Tier: CW/UW Hotspot, Liokaiser, maybe UW Skylynx if they fixed the ratchets
B- Tier: Menasor with PE Kits
D Tier: 2nd run Menasor with fixed ratchets
F- SEE ME AFTER CLASS Tier: CW Skylynx, 1st run Menasor
Worth another $40? I can't decide.
>>6009588
Unless you are planning to use them as parts for customs I wouldn't recommend it
I have bought doubles and trippels of many TFs of the CW series and have regretted most of them. They are not bad it just turns into this whole not worth the room to store somewhere and down the road you start thinking silly shit like "that $$ could have been used for all these other things"
>>6009601
That's fair and ultimately that's what I finally decided. And I realized I was kind d of only eyeing it for that awesome purple Blackjack (and maybe Dragstrip) so I'll probably just keep an eye out on ebay instead.
This is just inexcusable
>>6009627
I just don't know why didn't have the top jaw hinge back instead of ending up on his heels. It seems like that would have been easier. Once I get him in hand I'll probably try "fixing" that oversight.
>>6009627
Wht is?
>>6009588
I saw Superion at the same store, which other characters got a combo pack?
>>6009636
in hand pics of gnaw
>>6009638
If it had been Supes I probably would have gotten it. His limbs look great with Skylynx.
>>6009627
You know you're going to buy it then buy the 3rd party backpiece filler that splits into 10 separate bits and costs 5x the shelf price of the original toy.
>>6009664
At this point buying the 2 pre-existing 3P molds would be less time consuming and painstaking.
>>6009664
I bought all the 3 party sets at discount
I really want a official gnaw but this is just to awful
So is anyone doing anything fun with the CW gift set posters?
I bought a stock poster board and put my 4 favorite sets in it with instructions to fill out the gap
Might get the smaller size for the last two.
>>6009682
That reminds me
Ross has these retro comic style wall pieces available
>>6009688
Oh shit, really? I've always liked the idea of things like this but none of the comic ones ever appealed to me enough. I'll have to check it out.

Beast Megatron is rumored to be next. Some guy on TFW2005 who owns a proto of Primal says he has connections that told him as much. Believe it or not. If we get him, its going to be interesting to see how much larger he is than Primal; OP may be smaller than his 96 toy, but Megatron may even be bigger than his 96 toy.
>>6009709
i'm still so fucking bitter that rhinox's hip is so shit, he looks so fucking awesome
>>6009717
It's probably not as common as I thought then.
I was super careful with mine too but withing 15 minutes of handling him they got marks on them
>>6009722
I feel you man, while i was trying to pose him for the pick i started hoping a 3P will just do a slightly upsized and fixed version like movie hound is getting
>>6009588
Unrelated, lol at the Terminator Mega Bloks at the lower right, $13 for a bunch of generic parts and the Arnold mini fig? How about no? Though the $6 T-800 army builder set for $6 is totally worth it.
>>6009758
Looks cool, the mega bloks mini figures are cool.
>>6009716
He seems more like an invetablity really
Now the other 6 season 1 predacons are a pipedream.
>>6009588
I bought a second one just to use it as random combiner fodder, but it would be pointless if you don't care about that.
>>6009716
>its going to be interesting to see how much larger he is than Primal; OP may be smaller than his 96 toy, but Megatron may even be bigger than his 96 toy.
If they're conservative, I could see him being a head taller than Primal, probably close to the size of the original Ultra or MP Ironhide. If they go nuts, MP-10 sized (which would be awesome, but I think it's unlikely).
>>6009682
It bothers me that they didn't use the same typeface for all of the combiner names.
>>6009795
I can see Blackarachnia getting in for waifu appeal. Also, now that I think about it, she's a robo monstergirl. That explains why I like the Momo stuff so much.
>>6009542
>uw bruticus
>a tier
Nice try
>>6009816
I honestly think the reason Primal is so small yet has a fairly high price due to the electronic gimmick is so they can get away with releasing a BW Megatron that's around the size/ pricepoint of the MP seekers/Shockave/Soundwave that lacks any electronic gimmicks or alternate beast faces. Takara cans stretch the hell out of their yen. I think MP Starsaber was actually cheaper than MP Shockave, and its gigantic.
>>6009879
blackarachnia just got a gen toy from takara, her wasp, rhinox and rattrap are out.
Cheetor, Megatron, and Dinobot seem like the best bets, and maybe a mall exclusive slight remold for Tigatron.
In some alternate timeline where the stars align maybe we get gens for the rest who really need them like Terrorsaur and Scorponok
>>6009895
Shockwave had a chug and MP released pretty close together.
>>6009890
I think it's just the paint and knowing people will pay whatever they ask because he's now being priced near other shit everyone else in Japan is raping your wallet for. Figma's and Revo's and all this other shit are hitting $70-90 with no accessories and shit, man.
He's not that big, theres no licensing, theres no huge amount of plastic being used here. He's that price because every other fuck in Japan is raising their prices. I bet without electronics he'd still be $100 minimum.
>>6009816
If they try to be accurate, just the Rex head should be as big as Primal's body.
>>6009895
>blackarachnia just got a gen toy from takara, her wasp, rhinox and rattrap are out.
Rattrap is heavily rumored, and Considering how we got Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod in generations within two years of an MP, I'd say its not the best measure as to what's getting an MP or not. Takara also promoted their CW/Legends Megatron as an MP Megatron substitute and now we're getting a real Megatron v2.
On that note, I wouldn't pu it past us getting a new Generations Optimus Primal eventually; one that steers closer to a toy/show hybrid to please people who didn't like the MP's show accuracy.
>>6009906
Just having a bigass articulated T.Rex would be fun as fuck. As a kid I used BW toys as substitute animal/giant monster toys for various other toylines, so it'd be cool to continue that.
>>6009909
>I wouldn't pu it past us getting a new Generations Optimus Primal eventually
Not while Warden is around.
>>6009915
Why are you so adamant on shitposting here, Aaron?
>>6009900
>>6009909
true, but g1 characters get new toys all the time, were as BW is a smaller niche.
I'm not saying I don't want them, I love BW, but I'm tempering my expectations, especially seeing the way the gen toys were used a lot in promos for Primal.
side note, imagine if the Tigatron repaint/mold came with pic as an acc
>>6009917
Why is the Warden Internet Defense Force so assblasted about him disliking BW. He doesn't like RID 2016 and Bayformers either.
>>6009915
Honestly Warden isn't that unreasonable, he approved going through with the Thrilling 30 designs like Rhinox, Rattrap, and Waspinator, and designed Sky-Byte. keep in mind TMIIs are basically the Beast-Wars-iest Beast Wars designs there are,
>>6009921
This image reminds me, it's been a real long time since I impulse bought some fembots.
Pretty much the only reason I don't have MP Road Rage is because I'm still waiting for my MP Tracks to get out of shipping error purgatory and get here, and that probably won't be till december.
>>6009928
You logic is Warden a guy who gave us 4 Beast War/machine characters in thrilling 30 wouldn't consider another Beast Wars character
You are just shitposting for (You)s and nothing else Andrew
>>6009928
Same reason you love shitting this thread up, Aaron.
>>6009932
Have any even come out other than more flavors of Strongarm and a couple of the RiD16 repaints?
>>6009940
Thrilling 30 was actually really well spread out in terms of what we got from across the series.
>>6009947
None in a while, as far as I know.
I think there's a TR Nautica planned though.
>>6009954
that's the blurr repaint right?
>>6009969
i don't really like the mold
i don't know why though
>>6010003
Because you bought the hideous Takara version of it.
>>6010011
are you retarded or shitposting?
both hasbro and takara one is the same mold
>>6010054
The deco also affects your overall enjoyment of the mold you know.
>>6010070
It's an okay mold. I wasnt gonna get it but wal mart had it for $9, so why not? It would be much better if you didn't have to position the shoulders in odd ways to get decent poses.
>>6009627
> When regular figs start looking like pretender shells.
anyone have the legends kickback yet?
>>6010070
Same feels. I'm kinda waiting for Blurr to get marked down to get him as a cheap donor body for Nightbeat. No plans to get Brainstorm currently since he's not available and I'm satisfied with LG09.
Trigger pic warning.
>>6010247
Whoa, weird, bet he thinks Cyclonus is a voyager as well.
>>6010255
Cyclonus is an odd one, I'd say him being Voyager or Deluxe is fine.
Scourge is 100% deluxe sized though.
>>6010254
yea, voy brainstorm is good enough for me as flawed as he is
>>6010257
Well they're both around the same size, so he should be deluxe as well.
>>6010258
Voyager Brainstorm and TR Brainstorm are a part of my fanon, because of how much I love the voyager.
>>6010258
I really wish they'd have left TR Brainstorm with his T30 deco for the arms.
>>6010272
You'd think the sdcc version would atleast.
>>6010272
Well, you could remove the paint but it's kind of a bitch to remove the upper arm paint.
>>6010282
Well that's the color his forearms are in the comics.
>>6010288
The comics are fucking garbage.
>>6010290
Christ.
>>6010292
So it looks like the Tumblr shitposter is still here then.
>>6010293
What's your endgame?
My Skytread has two right arms, and the legs don't fully fold nicely for the head mode.
Bought it at Wal-Mart, but threw away the packaging. Can I make an exchange if I can or can't find the receipt? Can I send a photo to Hasbro and get a proper one?
what's your fave scale?
i like deluxes but i ADORE legends especially if they're decently articulated
>>6010301
I like any scale. But I do prefer things to be smaller if possible, 4 to 7 inches is pretty much perfect. I'd love a Voyager Omega Supreme for example.

Unless he's phoneposting, Autovolt is asleep
>>6010300
If Hasbro sends a replacement, it's whatever they have a on hand. If they don't have it, then you're fucked and they'll send any other figure.
Walmart would normally accept without a receipt, but I'm not sure they'll do that if you threw out the package. Your best bet is getting another at a Walmart, and returning the defective one.

Go away, Autistvolt. Shitpost elsewhere.
>>6010327

Would they send a new mystery titan master, or just w/e head they have lying around?
>Your best bet is getting another at a Walmart, and returning the defective one.
Good call, actually. Hopefully they'll still have some lying around. Would it not matter if it was opened though?
Due to the lack of news I stopped coming here.
I really wish there was news, this is terrible, forums are dead, reddit is full of abominable customs, tumblr never has anything of interest, and once again we're pointing out boogey men out.
Ones that were annoying but never actually being antagonistic, meanwhile trolls and shit posters are fellow anons, always the case, riiiight?
I don't get why we can't have posted ID on all boards, it'd be easier to filter out shit posters, whatever, I'll be back when autismo 2.0 hits, and if this shit is still going I'll an hero myself using him to end it all.

This is just generations trailbreaker all over again, you guys are such whiners, you cry over any small issue, like a woman
>>6008096
You remember wrong. Unicron was more like $55-60; $40 was the price point for like Armada Prime, Energon Galvatron or Cybertron Prime.
>>6010301
As a standard size? Voyager, probably.
I always tend to prefer bigger figures (which is why I have a lot of MPs) but I can still enjoy well made legendses and deluxes. CW Shockwave is still easily my favorite CW figure.

Important point, because some of the movie designs were very Mad Maxish, and a lot of fun.
Gnaw has that hollow back because of how you can feed him Titan Masters...
>>6010737
It was brought up earlier. The counter point was that others that needed room for TMs didn't suffer this like Wheelie, Brawn and Kickback.
>>6010471
If Beast Hunters is anything to go by no.
And wouldn't it be energon wars? Isn't every continuity a war over energon?
