I really liked that whole Knight's Terminus sequence. Pretty much all I could ask for as far as how I want Transformers on screen. Lots of focus on just the Autobots themselves. The AoE Autobot cast is one of my favorites

I'll still give AoE tons of shit for being a badly paced movie with too much human focus in the beginning and the latter parts.

DOTM at least had all the robots say their names, transform on screen and had more presence in the final fight.

Fun fact: They cut half the autobot rescue scene for non-imax movie viewings back then.

>>6027612
I remember when I first started in the TF fandom.

My first reaction to buying the toys was

(THE FUCKING SCALE IS ALL WRONG! FUCCKKK)

It was a year before I got that autism out of my head.

>>6027615

>>6027615
I'm thinking of buying Shockwave for Christmas, but at the same time I'm thinking of saving money to buy Megatron. His back is making me think twice but the funface and stand is just UNF.

>>6027615
Made me think of that part in Gurren Lagann where the mech jumps out of the bigger mech several times until it's just the Simon. Think Starsaber and Fort Max are the closest to being able to do something like that.

>>6027610
Nah, DOTM was way worse for actual robot characterization. Characters pop in and out due to shifts in editing(the Twins, who where written out last minute). Dino/Mirage was wasted. As where both -waves. Megatron has an epiphany thanks to being called a bitch by a character who is played by a supermodel with no prior acting experience, cast partly out of spite for Megan Fox, and partly because of Bay's casting couch.

>>6027629

looks like he won't be pooing for a while

>>6027638
That's true but really though DOTM was at its peak compared to ROTF's barebones use of the new cast and TF1 trying to save its budget.

AoE may have had better personalities but it's overshadowed by the amount of screentime Cade and his family had in all parts of the movie. It had worse editing and CG, and they forgot that Bumblebee was at the Lockdown battle. In DOTM, all the autobots were there, helping Optimus, fighting the horde and taking the control pillar down while having time to fight Sentinel. Hell even the minicons Wheelie and Brains made an impact despite being just comic relief for most of the time.

>>6027622
Get the Quakeblast figure by Cloud 9 for like $65. It's a lot more sturdy and feels thicc af.

>>6027657

Okay

>>6027616
When I started the TFfandom I never cared about scales, then again I started back in the early 90's when I was a kid so after a long hiatus and getting back to collecting TFs in 2014, I still had that mindset of not caring about the scales for the most part.

I only ever care about scale in robot mode, scale in vehicle mode is basically impossible.

I haven't had issues but I can understand it could happen, the plastic there is very thin.

Personally I found him annoying as fuck in the comics, because I hated how much of a punching bag Megatron was. Like, what did he actually do?

Fuck.

So I finally got Triggerhappy, Twinferno and the Wave 3 legends today. Gnaw is fucking awesome, I love this little guy. I can't say I like Kickback that much, just because of how the wings sit, and Bumblebee is just a typical bumblebee, except a bit fat.

Triggerhappy is great, and my favorite of the two deluxes. Twinferno has a great robot mode, but the alt mode is too boxy for my tastes.

>>6027717
See I'm the flip I loved kickback and have buyers remorse on Gnaw

>>6027715
The hip ratchets are super easy to fix, it should not be a consideration for buying Skylynx.

Yeah, I have like no tools for fixing anything, and I'm a big retard when it comes to trying to fix anything. If I get a CW it'll stay broken forever.

>>6027725
That was a big issue of CW was that we saw the Stunticon over used.
Motormaster was 4
Dragsrip was 3
Breakdown was 5
Dead end was fucking 12

And that's not counting Japan or con exclusives.

Rewatching the Prime 5-part premier, damn I forgot how I sort of thought this show had potential. Too bad to think about how it ended up.

How has RID been?

>>6027801
>>6027802
Guys guys, stop replying. Clearly it's some kind of AI chat bot. No person could go their entire life with out ever tackling these kind of things, it's impossible. COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE.

About the same. Has potential but marketing keeps the plots shaky and inconstant

>>6027806

>>6027806
>I must've replaced my first remote control batteries when I was 9, maybe 8!
Damn that's old, then again I've seen people already around their 40's not knowing what + and - means on a batter compartment or what an AA or a AAA battery is. I used to work in an electronics section and I had people ask me to change batteries on a flashlight because they have no clue how to do it.

>>6027809
Question: why didn't you just say you live with your parent(s)

>>6027807
That's too bad. Well, since it'll probably end once the 5th movie comes out, perhaps we'll get a new show relatively soon. Maybe something will be revealed at Hascon next year, since they'll probably want to have a giant reveal there to make their con look worth it.

It's clearly more light hearted compared to Prime. The plot is also more self-contained within each season, maybe as a consequence of Animated and Prime's early cancellation. It's still a pretty fun show because the budget cell-shaded animation allowed them to introduce a new decepticon every other episode.

There's more TFP cameos from season 2 onwards, so I would really recommend a watch.

>>6027818

When I was 9, my Dad set me up in the kitchen with a soldering iron and a busted tv and said to have fun. Shortly after I started liking Transformers. Don't think there's any kind of connection at all...

>>6027827
I touched my first soldering iron before my first screwdriver for some reason. It was in a DIY class in my school and we had to build a functioning motor car powered by batteries.

Of course, the car didn't work because the hot glue they gave us was shitty. But that was some decent life experience and helped me a lot.

>>6027827
My first run in with a soldering iron was when I was not even 5. I saw my dad repairing an electric fan. Granted I rarely solder but at least I know how to in the events I do need to do it. Sucks that a lot of electronics nowadays are meant to be thrown away because of how impossible some of the components are to be replaced so the art of repairs is starting to die out.

Tool wise, we have a lot of those and right now I have a pliers beside me that is also a Swiss army knife that I use a lot from opening boxes to screwing stuff with.

That's wrong, all wrong. It is Hillary's establishment that wanted us to antagonize Russia at every turn and strong arm them into a no-fly zone agreement so that the radical rebels could behead Assad and turn Syria into another ultra conservative Sunni monarchy stronghold letting Qatar and SA can get a fuel pipeline into Europe. I mean sure, we'd love to help our beheader allies in the middle east get filthy rich off eurobucks and give the finger to Russia, but I don't agree with genociding all of the middle east and turning a secular government into another Islamic regime just for booku bucks.

It's good for kids to get challenged and learn this stuff, thinking mechanically is a great skill to have. When I came back into collecting, I dusted off my transmetal Megatron which must've broke in a dozen different places, but was able to fix him up almost like brand new. I feel like I can nearly fix anything now.

>>6027834

I think out of all that, the only gimmick that stuck were the DOTM ones weapon pegs being the same size and sharable with the deluxe and voyager sized TFs, not just exclusive to the movie line but the Generations line as well, hence the smaller sizes of the robots compared to the older movie lines.

I'm just concerned for Megatron, he tends to get pretty mediocre figures because of his crappy garbage pile design in the movies. But DOTM Megatron's figure was at least fantastic.

I feel bad for Galvatron for that reason, Hasbro couldn't do anything with that design. I just hope this new Megatron gets a decent toy.

Well if he transforms into a Cybertronian helicopter like the leaks/rumors said he will, it would be easier as his body is the kibble. It's why TF1 and TF2 had good looks save for the second one's lack of articulation for the arm. TF3 was a godsend but so darn small. TF4 was ehh.

For the other guys, I'll assume that
-Hotrod will be the uglier retool of Lockdown's mold
-Bumblebee will reuse an older mold
-Hound will probably get a retool and a redeco.
-Crosshairs has additional minor paint apps
-Drift will have a new car front but ultimately the same transformation scheme.
-Barricade will have a new mold
-Onslaught will have a new mold
-Unnamed volkswagen con will have a new mold
-Unnamed motorcycle con will have a 5050 chance of getting a deluxe toy.

I don't know, TF1 Megatron had some god-awful kibble. (Though damn, I fucking loved that toy when I was 11. I thought it was the coolest thing. I can't believe it was that long ago.)
>That feel when this was what felt to be the most complicated TF I owned
I changed my mind, I need to go give my figure a hug. He was cool. I never liked TF2's Leader though, always hated those fucking arms. And like I said, I think his TF3 figure is fantasic, one of the best I'd say.

Tidal Wave then? Either way, more sea-based deceptions, especially in figure form, would be very welcome in my book.

I mean, any decepticons actually doing something in the movie are welcome in my book after AoE.

>>6027928
I usually set up three alarms, one of them being a phone that's away from the bed if the night's so cold that I could sleep for 12 hours.

I can only get one Titans Return figure atm, so which is it? Sentinel Prime or Astrotrain?

I'm really digging the look of this mold and while Astro holds a special place in my heart I have a thing for this depiction of Sentinel too. He looks so rad.

>>6027930

Could be a 'con ship, or Trypticon. Assuming Bay can even name him right.

Well Michael also made a huge fake village and had Barricade, Onslaught and unnamed Volkswaggen quietly stroll along the road.

No explosions were reported during that part, and none of the autobot cars were spotted, just the cons.

>>6027933
Best case-worst case, it's a nameless one. He apparently changed Brawl's name to Devastator to be more violent in introduction, so a giant TF submarine would probably be Tidalwave, or if it's a dragon, Conzilla

SO I finally completed my set of RID warrior optimus molds, not digging out the original trio so you get the retools instead.

But it's got me thinking...who exactly are takara targetting with their decos?

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND hasbro marketing these as kids toys, so paint apps can be a tad crooked or just being seemingly lazy, I mean look at the tru power surge prime, I honestly find the deco of the mass retail version better if not for the lack of clear plastic.

But look at scourge in the middle, its complex paint apps are actually perfect right down to where the paint meets other paint sections like the chest and even the fake smoke stacks are painted.

Does takara take kids toys and deco them so hard for adults to find appeal or are japanese kids that autistic, I doubt its fears of paint rub as hasbro's reasoning for lack of paint since their shit is so tough even bleach didn't strip the paint from a TR skullcruncher, but why does takara kinda...over do it?

I love it but other than idiots like me who in japan would stuff like scourge be targetting?

>>6028018
Paint rub is only an issue for autistic people. Normal adult collectors don't carry toys around, play with them enough and wear and tear them to do that kind of damage that children do.

>>6027638
Also the fact the fights sucked ass, all the con's can't hit for shit, and all get their heads fucked up, they weren't threatening.

>>6027834
I really want that, loved his AOE design.

>>6028029
Well let's be honest, all the cons in the first three were shit fighters against the autobots, and/or died under humans, but atleast DOTM had more than two death fights. TF1 had Bonecrusher vs Optimus and Megatron vs Optimus, TF3 had Ironhide and Sideswipe vs the Dreads, Dino vs one of the Dreads, Bumblebee vs Soundwave, Optimus vs Shockwave (a disappointment I do say) and Optimus vs Sentinel alongside Optimus vs Megatron.

>>6028018
Maybe it's just a matter of money?

Hasbro has to make the figures cheap enough to accommodate the lowest pricing of their American retailers.

Takara only needs to consider the (far higher) MSRP of their local market and budget the paint accordingly.

The budget difference allows takara to throw more paint at the same mold, but even so there's a limit to how much paint they can use, as you see on Vehicon General.

>>6028050
This would make alot of sense actually.

Especially with the comparison with the vehicon general, I mean some of us applaud takara's legends blurr for the accuracy but the rear vehicle mode thrusters aren't painted yet the "fake" ones for his shoulders are.

Still bugs me to death, guessing they hit the wall with him

>>6028046
>Ironhide and Sideswipe vs the Dreads
The dreads stab the autobots and then get destroyed.


>Dino vs one of the Dreads
He hangglides on it and then it crumbles into pieces for no reason (and his head falls off for no reason)

>Bumblebee vs Soundwave
Bumblebee doesn't get hit once and shoots soundwaves head off.

>Optimus vs Shockwave (a disappointment I do say)

>Optimus vs Sentinel
The only good one.

>Optimus vs Megatron
That wasn't a fight, it was a one sided beatdown.

While it's true they sucked in the other films, I just hate DOTM for how it went about it, the autobots cut through them all like butter.

>>6028056
It's also the lack of personality for the villains in the director's perspective so yeah it's the most simplified "autobots wage their battles to destroy the evil forces"

I won't expect much in TF5 in terms of combat, but hopefully a shit ton more of melee.

>>6028058
I have hopes for it, that's for sure.

Why do people think there'll be a focus on melee in the film and toyline? the whole knight theme?

>>6028062
Yes. Megatron getting a new axe thing, the time travels and Barricade having a baton and knucklets that spell out PROTECT AND SERVE.

>>6028070
When can we expect to see the new line, SDCC? Toyfair?

>>6028078
If the release of the movie is July, then we'll probably get the toys by May, and we'll get proper images by late march. If Hasbro plans to join any conventions mid Jan-March, we'll get photos earlier, depending if there's going to be any leaks.

>>6028084

The wings can also be quite varied depending on your preference, looks like the wings can be folded to the side so he can have them more prominent.

And the chest ones can be folded inside his chest in robot mode freeing up articulation, which brings up another gripe.

The chest stickers should of been on the mini wings but clearly they want the chest wings folded in for maximum movement so the stickers are stowed away

Not really confident with the review.
It is said that articulation is good but plastic is thinner and feels like it would crack easily. Joints are also very loose and very tight. It is better as a display piece.

>>6028028
Wow, what do you have against fun?

>>6028245
Can he be transformed without taking the head off?

>>6028248
>plastic is thinner
Any comparisons mentioned, if he can take a knock like pmop or blaster it may just be the fact he's from a kids toy line and not an mp

>joints very loose and very tight
So qc in the joints can be iffy, sounds common especially for TR figures.

That said while I'd LOVE to blame hasbro for thinner plastic strength it may just be a compromise for his complexity, and takara's won't change much, may even end up worse after my experience with legends wheelie, loose little shit

This blind logic that Takara will just be better is ridcuslous. Both companies fuck up and both use the same parts and plastics. Sadly in this downfall of new factories the more made the better chance things get fix and unfortunately Takara's runs are as little as 1/4th of Hasbro's productions.
get what you like, there just isn't a winning brand here.

>ridcuslous

Sure is because I already mentioned takara versions can fuck up the same, if not, worse than hasbro figures, and oh boy I can just point at mp ramjet or UW bruticus and shit gets real.

The simple fact is hasbro's gets more focus when they fuck up is because there are more of them out there while takara's are made in minimal numbers, ramjet was only sperged about because of the absurd asking price and people had high hopes on an old as fuck mold.

The only "winning" parts are the deco choices and retoolings, which are subjective ESPECIALLY with legends super ginrai.

Heh, the sad part is I have fixed or tolerated all of my hasbro stuff, and apart from a "sub par" ramjet my only real hassle was legends wheelie and his loose pin joints, still I'm a sucker for their paint schemes I admit that much unless its minimal like the deluxe headmaster crew

>>6028267
>I really hope Takara's Sixshot is just a straight repaint
Well yeah...its already perfect g1/headmasters sixshot, in form at least.

>none of that upgrading business like they did with Ginrai
They did that because they felt (with their audience) it wasn't recognizable, the feet are the only real issue, if anything the removal (or rather the new placement...) or the hollows in the arms was a good thing.

>because his Headmasters colours suck, the purple's nonexistent
Then better stay away from takara's then because (good chance) that is what they'll be doing.

>Like I said, don't care
Oh good, then we can enjoy our sixshots in peace then my brother

>>6028237
Never realized how bland MP Shockwave looks now that I see him next to MP Soundwave.
The mold looks great but they dropped the ball on the colors. Hopefully they'll do a non-cartoon colored one, with darker purple like the toy, and accentuating some details

>>6028280
Best wait for hasbro's shockwave then if they do it, or even a takara "shackwave" aka faux diaclone colors.

The issues with shockwave lie in the shift to animation accuracy, reliance with plastic colors (the painted diecast sections look right but you hardly see them) and the fact he needs the right lighting to look anything like his show counterpart, his purple is hard to capture properly

>>6028276
>Well yeah...its already perfect g1/headmasters sixshot, in form at least.

It remains to be seen.

>They did that because they felt (with their audience) it wasn't recognizable, the feet are the only real issue, if anything the removal (or rather the new placement...) or the hollows in the arms was a good thing.

I like the upgrades.

We haven't seen takara's yet, you...DO know hasbro figures rarely use anime colors these days right?

Subjective, especially for hanzo there and overlord, their heads kill it for me (especially overlord's lips but I'm not a fan of his idw face either) and some of hanzo's modes look...chubby.

In any case enjoy your toys anon, and so shall I

>>6028299

I'm not shitposting about muh 3P superior toys. I'm just perplexed why they would waste the most obvious color choice when it makes the most sense.

>>6028302
I didn't say you were.

>most obvious color choice
Because hasbro tends to go toy colors, takara takes the anime color variant where possible, perhaps they consider it "too drab" for a kids toy which it technically is.

For me the stickers, or rather their placement kill it for me, gonna wait on takara's unless a sale happens

>>6028293
Let me explain my thinking, I hope it's a straight repaint because then it's purely subjective as to which one one wants, so if it's a straight repaint I can just get the one I prefer. But if they do any upgrades I'll go for it because it's the superior version despite the colours.

Perhaps it's a non-issue, I can't think of much they could upgrade, but it remains to be seen.

animation accuracy, would be plastic colors so its more durable, when you handled an mp05 you get fucking scared.

Their aim at more animation accuracy rather than blending modern toy engineering with a damn good likeness is killing it for alot of people

Man, seems to me that some transfans don't understand what the concept of above-average articulation and relaxed poses mean. You should buy other figures too.

It's obvious that they can be straightened, they just posed them like that so they look more natural. MP Star Saber also has that bend.

Its like those "NEW FLAVOR" to "CLASSIC FLAVOR" beverages all over again

>>6028321
Which is understandable since only now do we have damn well articulated transformers where's before any extra we got was because of transformation joints and this whole animation accuracy has lead to improvements not ONLY into their current goal but also articulation wise.

Its a mixed blessing

>>6028280
That's because Shockwave came after the lead designer changed and MPs started to be stupidly accurate to the cartoon, to the point of being bland and ugly.

>>6028313
>justifying ugliness with "muh accuracy".
Paint can be very durable as long as you're not a fucking hamhander. Oh wait. I forgot where I am. Well I'm glad you're all willing to accept a bland, swirly gray Megatron that will look right at home next to Grimlock and Starscream. I am happily going 3P on this one.

>>6028330
It sucks hard, before we had little throw backs to the toys thrown in like how ultra magnus had the prime face underneath it, now megatron homages a scene from the movie just by taking his face off.

If he had red between his legs he may of captured the best of both worlds for what they have

>>6028313

Why can't they just hit the 80% ballpark like prime and leave some room to take liberties.

No one complains about MP-10. He's fucking great and not PERFECTLY accurate.

>justifying ugliness with "muh accuracy".
Those were just probable, reasonable reasons why they would of went that route, considering all the panels he could get damaged, given time he'll get a few repaints to bring back RnD cost, so better rush out for that gloss black megatron then.

>Paint can be very durable as long as you're not a fucking hamhander
My mp05 is tight as fuck and that diecast spine didn't help, granted the scratch marks are only on his back where the damn diecast spine hits the back, still just trying to pry the damn thing off for the first time required excessive force, I build models, I'm gentle, even more so with gloriously silver painted toys, but it wasn't budging.

I pray that mp36's panels have some spacing to them so when they fold up they don't rub together, for I too, would love a silver, or even a gold repaint.

>swirly gray Megatron that will look right at home next to Grimlock and Starscream
That grey is too light, you could almost sue takara for misleading the consumer if they use that horrible shit, there are better plastic greys out there

That said, if hasbro had him no doubt they'd try that shit

Pic unrelated but also not possible on mp36

>>6027907
The weird thing about this figure is for whatever reason they made the legs positioned under the wings instead of backwards like they do in the movie. It still boggles my mind why they did that since it doesn't look like some sort of engineering nightmare to actually do.

When Megatron transforms on film, his legs turn into thrusters, and it's replicated on a few toys such as this one, but not the leader. It could probably be done on the leader toy with a sideways thigh ratchet or something. Anything would have been better than under the wings.

The thing is, the gray on the prototype is painted. It likely won't be in the final version, much like Wheeljack was painted in all of the promo pictures.

Its not like pmop and super ginrai where they're substantially different (other than accessories anyway)

I like movie prime's design and this mold offers the best likeness as well as a somewhat involved transformation rather than the knight optimus's simplified, "fake" shell of a transformation

>>6027852
I'm curious to see how they'd do an MP Rhinox. A few years ago they'd probably have done some sort of crazy engineering to make his bottom jaw stretch out over his chest, but not it'd probably just be a fake jaw.

>>6028463

The generations update would work with a show accurate robot mode just as well but for the MP they could just use the chain gun space to hide a fake chest.

I never minded fake parts but it works really well for MP Cheeto since you can't see any of the kitty mode's head kibble.

It is pretty great. I honestly don't see why people were complaining about this guy. Then again, I don't own Metroplex, so maybe thats why. His fanmode looks great too. I also like rotating the hands around and putting the fingers down. Looks a lot like oil or steam pipes or something to me. Like he can suck energy from the ground or something.
