A quick review

Triggerhappy is the best. The only problem I can find is the right arm cannon does not like to clip into the position.
It appears to be fixable by either cutting into the hinge or part of the edge flush against the blue part of the arm. Much appreciated if any one know the correct solution to this.

Twinferno is also pretty good. Do wish they mold the limbs in more mechanical look. The animal like limbs are a bit weird next to the robotic torso. Only major issue is that they really should add a swivel somewhere near the dragon's heads. Maybe it is modifiable with some store brought ball joints.

Hot rod is meh. The whole thing is floppy and bland. It does not help that it got chipped paint under his lip and looks like two red pimples. I don't dig the car mode either it is too fat. Personally I think even with the gimped arm, the classic mold is still better looking.

Hey holiday anon, this is another person from the PH. I haven't actually seen any W3 figures around, nor the W2 Titan Masters. The rest of Titans Return is present.

When it comes to old stock, it's mostly CW, of which all size classes are on sale. Legends class has gone down to 400PHP from the original 600; Deluxes are now 500PHP from 800 (but you're lucky to find any CW deluxes at all at this point); Voyagers are 1000PHP from 1500; Leaders are 1500PHP from (IIRC) 2500.

A few places have the combiner box sets; we have all of the Hasbro ones. All of them are still MSRP. T30 toys seem to have finally gone extinct.

Regarding Masterpiece figures: some stores have Hasbro (silver) Bluestreak and Starscream, both should be discounted.

Platinum sets are plentiful if you care about those. I've seen most of the '86 Movie sets except for the Autobot Heroes pack. A few of the G1 reissues (Blaster & Perceptor, the triple changer redecos, YOTG G2 Prime) lingering still.

We're at the Windblade/Paralon wave of RID. TRU has the exclusive rights to Clash of the Transformers Starscream and the Decepticon Island pack.

Good luck with your hunt, and I hope you enjoy your stay. Mabuhay, anon!

>>6070518
Ah, just read the other anon's response.

Darn, was hoping to find something old but hard to find...any idea if they have cw leader thundercrackers, we're about to have a sale here tommorow with our starscreams and our recently arrived skywarps (took long enough).

Were those platinum sets discounted?

Other than those might, MIGHT grab an mp starscream just for a bit of pocket change, or a rid scorponok if available since I got those tru clash figures.

Thank you for the assistance!

>>6070527
Leader Thundercracker? I've seen a few. The only CW Leaders I haven't seen in a while are the Megatrons. The Platinum sets are not discounted.

You're always welcome anon. It's nice to help other people out with their toy hunts when they're in (or going to) the country.

>>6070535
Dang, been wanting armada megs (well, not at full price), but thundercracker sounds good, another seeker into my...oversized seeker collection.

Many thanks, if I'm lucky I might spy something "rare", if not it just means more t-shirts in the luggage heh

I wonder if Rewind could make a good TFA Soundwave repaint. I mean he obviously lacks the backpack and the cartoonishness of the design, but other than that they look similar to me. Plus it'd be a nice novelty to have a little Soundwave that turns into a pocket radio.
Can someone photoshop Rewind in Soundwave's colours please? Probably with the tank rims as speakers.

Recommend a CHUG style head replacement for this guy, anons.

>>6070539
Sounds like a nifty idea but I'd rather someone else in his slot, a cliff jumper repaint of bumblebee with a new head, maybe kickback retooled into one of the other insecticons, or even a new mold.

Besides more than likely we'll just get redeco's of rewind and frumble

>>6070512
Seems to match my expectations. I'm technically interested in all the characters in this wave, but none of them do anything for me. Triggerhappy looks wonderful, but I wanna wait and see if he gets a more interesting repaint. I like Rodimus, but the MP kind of makes him pointless. Meanwhile, RiD Twinferno looks to blow the TR version away in every aspect, so it looks like I'm saving my money for a while. Not like I wanted to venture into any retail stores around Christmas anyway.

>>6070542

My bad, I meant I'm thinking about getting one and painting him as my first custom. Thing is I'll have to buy new paints too and I'm in a budget right now, so I'm reluctant to experiment.

>>6070561
If that's the case wait for a sale, buy him then then wait until your budget stabilizes.

If worse comes to worse just dunk him in bleach (after removing the screws of course, after my own go at customizing a skullcruncher and threading the screws I dunked him in bleach, the god damn tampo's stayed on but the screws went all white and flaky like ash)

>>6070558
I think Twinferno is worth a pick up, he's pretty nifty. Although I also plant to pick up the RID one; you can't have too many two-headed dragons.

Definitely pick up some version of Triggerhappy. He's got such a nice transformation and is just great all around.

Rodimus isn't too bad, but definitely the weakest of the bunch. (Well, I guess Getaway is actually the weakest, I didn't even bother.) Loose hips like Skullcruncher are the only issue I've encountered. And he's probably the best deluxe Rodimus we'll get.

I'm not sure many of you anons play this, but earth wars just got a holiday update

>>6070580
I was playing until I was spending so much time grinding the same thing over and over again it was no longer fun.

Add to that our alliance commander got a bit "tyrannical" and started kicking people left and right. So I just put it down for a bit.

What's the update?

>>6070565

I thought bleach would destroy the plastic like nail polish remover does.

Sales and markdowns are a foreign concept in my country sadly. Rather than putting up new products that would sell, the stores prefer to keep the pegs stocked with year old shelfwarmers at full price. It's also a common tactic for businesses to raise their prices in response to reduced sales so as to cover their losses with each sale.

>>6070588
Wow, what the fuck? I mean, technically that way the businesses earn more than they lose, but don't they also lose all the sales they would have gotten if they had stocked new shit?

Where do you live?

>>6070512
Since I also got them, I'll also post my opinions:

Triggerhappy is fantastic, but everyone already knew that. 10/10

Doublecross is disappointing. While his transformation's kind of fun, his dragon arms are pretty limited. Robot mode lacks a waist, and unlike other figures, there really is no excuse for it, and dragon arms are still to limited for me to enjoy them (wrist swivels would have gone a long way). Oh, and mine's guns were too thick for the dragon heads to hold. 6/10 (and only due to that limited ankle articulation)

Hot Rod's pretty fun. You can get many poses out of him, car mode looks pretty good, and paint was all applied correctly. They transformation has no way of scratching the chest, so that's good (I was worried the orange bit directly infront of the chest would scrape after a few transformations, but there's a space between it and the port after you transform him). His guns pegs are also too big, and while they're not a problem for the hands, there's no way I'll try them on the car peg holes. 8/10

>>6070588
No, its a common model technique, its safer than sanding.

I squeezed it afterwards and its still fairly strong, and I used this to strip one of those chromed up gundam models before hand so it works.

As for sales, do you...know this or based on speculation?

Stores like to sell stuff but if the pegs are full they can't stock more, though sales are dictated by whoever is incharged (hasbro, company directors etc) so good chance they may just not like money

So in my country they're having the cw leader class figures at half rrp and all they have are skywarps and starscreams, 2 quick questions.

>does the cw crown fit on mp11's head?
>would it be worth it for a seeker collector who has the legends seekers and the mp11 versions of each?

I also have the jetfire mold, I enjoyed it, but do I need another trio of seekers?

>>6070607
Hightower, and Tripodeca are looking really good.

>>6070607
How's that Prime? I kind of dig it. The plane mode looks less than great, but it's pieces seems pretty unobtrusive in terms of just going between truck and bot mode.

>>6070540
If you are painting it try sawback or sandstorm head.

The answer to this one depends on how much of a Seeker fan you are. Would you get them at some later point anyway? Have you been getting every set of seekers ever?

>>6070618
I think I'll wait for octane.

The lack of symbols annoys me, I know its 3p but putting stickers on anything annoys me.

Which is why UNLESS ITS ON SALE I'm avoiding hasbro voyagers and leaders from wave 3 and up.

Also while the bot mode on that is nice, the truck bothers me for some reason

>>6070615
Holy mother of THIN YOUR PAINTS

>>6070626
Its a spray can job from what I can tell, the hinge in the chest shows signs of transformation

>>6070615
I'm sure takara will do a scourge repaint at some point. That mold will look way better in anything that isn't red/white/blue.

>>6070632
I'd rather him in proper laser optimus colors, with the color shift from the front of the cab and all.

While hasbro intended for theirs to be laser prime its clear they chose standard prime colors making him bland

I like it. But a lot of people don't.

Personally speaking I think the figure can be a lot better with proper heels and much smoother shoulder piece. Too much stuff on the shoulder parts making it very hard to move the arms around.

And the plane mode can go to hell.
As for the lack of sticker, i already got the 30th ann sticker sheet. Going to make Autobot megatron and decepticon prime.

>>6070592

Greece, where the law of supply and demand is "I have this supply and I demand you buy it at that price" along with an implied "you won't find it cheaper anywhere else" because all stores have the same prices and no sales. Then the consumer buys nothing, the money doesn't flow, the businesses bitch and moan about low profits and the economy, and more people end up unemployed and with no spending money to buy from the stores.

As a greek I'll freely admit that greeks are retards. Just not the spending retards people think we are. The problem is that greek people got greedy and gluttonous during the fat cow 90s and in many cases are either unable or unwilling to adapt to the new situation, most notably businesses, whose purpose is to make increasing profits. We have first world prices for third world wages.

Gee even here in Australia we have sales on transformers, not often but lately they've been aggressive for all the right reasons

>>6070604

Thanks for the bleach then, I'll give it a try in the future. As for the lack of sales, I regularly check the stores for good prices or a job. Is it really that odd?

>>6070658
No worries, but do inform us if it has any adverse effects, from gunpla users they don't encounter much hassle even on softer abs plastic but seeing how the tampo's can survive bleach who knows what we may find.

>Is it really that odd?
The checking or the lack of sales?

Well, nothing wrong with checking infact because of all the new stuff I check for new releases daily in stores since other parts of my state get new stuff and I follow a local tf group for sales, but the lack of sales AT THIS TIME OF YEAR is terrible, should be gearing up something to help stock sell, might even brighten up the lives of the poor kids down your way with a simple sales on even legends class figures

>>6070653
What happened on the bottom there?

>>6070670
Looks like 2 of the deluxes came off the pegs. Mystery solved.

>>6070565
C-can you help me too?
I thought it was thinner, but how much bleach do I need to submerge a figure in?
I'm using RID Rumble, which is a bitch to disassemble (couldn't get the pins on the shoulders off and am currently reconstructing part of the shin pieces that got destroyed in the process) and half of the body is clear plastic (which I've heard will be destroyed by thinner no matter what).

>>6070741
Fuck. I forgot to say this, but I've already stripped all the paint. I'm searching for methods to prepare the pieces for painting.

>>6070642
This mode would be easily fixed if the wings were 7cm longer and placed 5cm forwards on the fuselage.
But that isn't happenning.

>>6070761
I'm pretty sure you can actually set the wings forward on those hinges. I remember seeing some pics about that a while back. Doesn't help the length though.

Dragon hands isn't a deformity, it's the next step in evolution!

Also, looking at the fur on his dragon legs and arms, I will be very disappointed if we don't get Grotusque and Fangry remolds from this. I would also accept a RiD Megatron in all his purple and gold glory.

>>6071027
>Fangry/Grotusque remold

Hilarious, they'll drop the Headmaster gimmick in the next line so don't expect them any time soon.

>>6071027
>Also, looking at the fur on his dragon legs and arms, I will be very disappointed if we don't get Grotusque and Fangry remolds from this

The original Doublecross had that hair though. Thats not a remold centric thing, thats just them being accurate to the original G1 toy.

>>6071044
True. I'm just being hopeful. I just figure they'd go straight robo-dragon if there wasn't a hairier remold possibly planned.

But a boy can dream.

>All the red bits are painted

For fucks sake.

So how is TR Trypticon going to work?

As far as I know he's the only TR figure to lack a humanoid robot mode so how are they gonna integrate his Titan Master for the head swap gimmick?

>>6071064
He doesn't have one. The initial pics even show his head clearly still attached while in base mode, and it was clearly his head without trying to pass as a bridge or anything.

By not directly participating in it. From what we've seen so far, Tryps's head looks to just be a regular robot dinosaur head. I assume that the Titan Master he comes with is gonna go to Full-Tilt, his transforming chest drone, while Brunt the tank drone is gonna be a Titan Master vehicle.

>>6071064

You can see the little car in >>6071083

>>6071143
Full Tilt. He's can be seen here: >>6071083 at the top left, next to the Megatron weapon turret. There's also a Titan Master that I can't identify, but I have no idea if it's just a random one placed there, or if it's meant to come with Trypticon.

>>6071137
One of the movie lines ir generations had a more chug edition of tfa soundwave. It was a non transforming car that spilt open to reveal Missles. The card artwork had a nice robot mode

>>6071149
He looks around Legends sized. He'll probably have a Kickback-style open seat.

I wonder if he'll be the first TR Legends to have a neck slot.

>>6071151
Oh shit, I just noticed that TM there. It's painted/cast in the same gray as the rest of Trypticon.

He'd probably need to be that sexy prototype gray if he was included.

>He'd probably need to be that sexy prototype gray if he was included.

He is. Makes some sense. If you can't make Trypticon a TM, just toss a random one for city filler.

>>6071164
If full tilt isn't a headmaster, then I just figure that Trypticon has a little cockpit in his head.

I really want to try cutting off the hinges of Gnaw's upper jaw including the tabs and just glue them to his back. It would look much better than having them on his feet.

>>6071296
Any translucent plastic on Bee? How many plastic colors does Gnaw use? I've been really curious since that other anon found out that Kickback didn't have any actual black plastic.

>>6071302
From what I've seen, the translucent plastic on Bumblebee involves the top of his car mode and little else. I'm not the anon who posted the picture though, so grain of salt.

>>6071089
>>6071169
Designers said they used a modded Deadend as the proof of concept for headmasters, they aren't direct remolds but use pretty similar enginery, same could happen with Doublecross.

>>6071302

It doesn't seem translucent, but Bee's canopy is yellow paint on sparkly black plastic. Everything else looks to be the actual plastic color.

Gnaw seems to have three main plastic colors: gray, light gray, and blue, and the his shark face part is transparent green.

>>6070512
Triggerhappy is the best of wave 3 hands down
Twinferno is a pain to transform, plugging his feet in/unplugging his shoulders is a scary affair. It feels like I'm going to break the tabs, so I might end up filing down the tabs a little.
Hot Rod is fun but sans the gimped elbows.
None of my Wave 3 figures are floppy and I was fortunate to have about 15 Hot Rod's and about 10 of Twinferno and Triggerhappy to pick out a decent unblemished paint job. All in all a good wave.

>>6071330
So Bumblebee and Kickback get two colors each, while Gnaw uses four? Doesn't seem fair.

You're looking for Bisk and Springload. Their best versions are pictured, but I actually like all of their versions.

It's both hilarious and a little sad how well Bisk's arms are articulated while Twinferno got... those... things.

>>6071836

A mainstay would be a bit much, but I'd honestly love to see CW and TR stuff still appear in later lines, perhaps with some improvements (but still remain compatiable with the old figures). They're solidly done gimmicks that work well.

>>6071853
Those look expensive
My local TRU just had Clampdowns, $50-priced voyagers (sale), and whatever RID size Quillfire and Scorponok are. No TR.

TRUs in my city (Canada) never had titan masters in stock, got them all from Wal-Mart. Weird.

>>6071870
Bisk should be the same price as your Quillfires and Scorponoks. Legion Springload should be about a third of that.

>>6071877
>Legion Springload should be about a third of that
What's 1/3s of one million?
No, they were like $15-20. Clampdown was around $7 after taxes. Was hoping to save my money for Triggerhappy and Fangry though. And maybe Doublecross and Overkill.

Is Springload the same class/wave as Clampdown? Never saw him in stores.

Yes, but he's also very new, I don't think he's shown up in our neck of the woods yet. Some Combiner Force Warrior figures (the $19.99 ones) have apparently shown up at Walmart so that's a good sign.

>>6071881
I hope he doesn't mean USD

>>6071880
Yeah, should be the same price point as Clampdown. He's barely starting to hit the stores so it might take awhile.

I guess I'll give Clampdown a frog buddy after my exams. Any other decent legions to look out for? Missed Fixit but I don't feel too bad about that for some reason. I also avoided the spring-loaded guys because I don't prefer my toys to have a self-destruct feature

You can't really do wrong with any of the Decepticon Legions. The first wave had the Underbite, the purple dog-like thing.

>>6072094
It's loose, right? Then it's probably mixed up with cyber keys from other figures. They had a few different cyber key designs.

>>6072081
because I can completely ignore the combiner port while I can't ignore having to fucking partsform the figure just to transform it. and combiner wars was 5/7 actual combiner characters and didn't infest the fucking leader size class while this line is like 1/10 actual headmaster characters

>>6072116
Most leader characters so far can also safely ignore the headmaster gimmick if they weren't retooled from an older mold, especially Sixshot.

Sorry anon I went to sleep after our last chat, here is a short video from a pro gundam modeler (won the gundam builders world cup australian region)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYi2BTg33Dg

If you want to be safe disassemble the transformer as much as you wish and submerge the parts entirely, that's right, if you can remove the screws and or pins, my pins seem ok but the screws were clearly affected on my skullcruncher, plastic was fine.

Technically clear plastic SHOULD be fine, least on gunpla (was noted by other modelers as a safe method), the worst that can happen with clear plastic is it fogs up in which durability may be compromised, if you wish to avoid breakage (since gunpla plastic may differ from transformers plastic, not that I've seen yet) perhaps leave any clear parts in so you don't risk breakage during re-installation unless you like to repaint them of course.

Mind you, I use a cheap bleach so stripping times will vary, I hear the better brands strip paint quicker.

Also pro tip, no matter the plastic straight up thinner will straight up annilate plastic, one of my gunpla friends thought it was a good idea to use pre-mixed panel liner on bare plastic and while it looks great it crumbled apart from the very panel lines themselves, clear plastic or not thinner WILL fuck up plastic, wanna be safe least put a top coat over it before panel lining use an enamel wash, but otherwise THINNER AND STRAIGHT PLASTIC DON'T MIX EVEN IN REMOVING PAINT.

If you do panel line (after full paint prep) use a cotton swab that's slightly damp with paint thinner and go lightly, provided the sections are top coated in gloss/semi gloss it should survive the process but once paint starts coming off top, repaint, dry, then try again.

>>6070760
Its ok anon, the only other solution I can offer is car brake fluid.

...don't do this though for the love of god, people suggest it to me but unlike bleach I don't think you can dunk and forget

Some legends artwork.

I love this stuff

>>6072493
I keep hearing the intro whenever I see a picture of the TFs running towards the reader

>>6072492
The only parts forming is to make him into a cartoon accurate gun, otherwise he's 100% parts-form free.

Kinda like shockwave with the whole backpack thing, one thing mp's do amazingly well is avoid partsforming, sometimes there is a slight sacrifice but its generally well accepted, otherwise shockwave would of had seceral sections parts forming and just being a more articulated version of the g1 toy which would be boring

Artwork for mp36, it seems like the back was a difficult part of the design phase.

I guess he suffers from mp ironhide syndrome where something has to suffer for the rest of him to look good, thankfully its at the back and no in front view

>>6072513
They had different legends artwork for their legends megatron, no idea about armarda megs since he was an exclusive that uses its self to "sell" the figure.

I'm more curious as to why they just shopped g1 megs into armada megs rather than draw something new, I think that's even lazier

>>6072505

I would like to see the schematics for how the Transformers change forms in the Bay movies. You know. Where all the parts go. It must be possible, they're computer models.

Kinda reminds me of Gundam for some reason.

>>6072515
action masters are only acceptable if they are cheap. 3A, Soap Studios, Hot Toys, they are not cheap. Sorry but while I don't object to "non transforming action figures" I do object when they cost more than the transforming counterparts.

>fucking Soap Studios figures are well over $100 and barely look better than those $6 rotocast things Hasbro made

>>6072504
Who's that in the bottom right that looks like a repaint of Drift?

>>6072525
Both have shitty designs despite being based off of a formulaic box figure?

>>6072533
LG Deadlock, basically Takara's own edgelord repaint of Drift.

For those who got the cannons not able to stay clicked to the arm, I think i got a solution.

The main reason the cannon won't click is because the hole for the pin is not pinned properly. We are not talking about QC problem as all the pin needed to do is to miss the hole by less than .1 mm and you would still get the same problem.
Basically canon is slightly too further back on the hinge resulting in white cannon slight too short to fully cover the blue arm. When you close the arm, the edges of the canon directly touching the blue hinges rings are pushing out cannon.

What you need to do is shave down the white part on the edges that touching the two blue hinges part so blue hinge rings will not touch them to force the part out.

We could just easily ignore them if they're spamming it, remember when the autismo meme shown up?

No one made a fuss apart from one or 2 actual autist, its the fact we're so sensitive these days.

>>6072525
I believe that's what they're going for, I admittedly like this better than the blocky hot toys one, I mean fuck that thing the most movement it had was in the fingers.

>>6072529
The sad thing is while all things transformers can be collectively grouped as "collectables" 3a and co are "true" collectables, you pose them in place of a statue and admire, while even stuff like an mp is technically an outright kits toy, and mp shockwave and the datsun molds are good enough to give to a kid.

Now soap...are those those static g1 looking figures, I always wanted to buy one but are they really THAT expensive, I liked their look...

I mean, its better than pic related, cheap dollar store shit and "technically" by your logic this is more acceptable even though I'd rather army build 40 titan masters than these alt mode figures (saying that I'm only salty because my country never got them anywhere and if we did they'll charge double/triple a tm figure)

>>6072534
>Both have shitty designs despite being based off of a formulaic box figure?

Gundam designs can vary, like the qubeley which is quite round looking, but the grand daddy is very much meh, a product of its time, older than transformers but just as iconic.

Still better than the edgy angular unicorn design in some aspects, its base concept isn't a greebled mess

What happens when you take the amazing (at the time) mp10 and upscale it?

mpp10, the god send for people who wanted a bigger but cheaper prime to compete with mp01.

But what if you remade it all in clear plastic?

I'm pretty sure you can see (through) what I mean

>>6072542
What's the appeal of clear plastic? I don't really see much in it unless they're going for a crystal/ghost lore.

>>6072542
>silver bands on the feet

I don't get why MPP10 did that, it's off model and costs extra paint to do it.

>>6072538
Alt Modes... $7 apiece, can barely stand and they have those giant things sticking out of the heads. Halve the price and I might care.

>>6072542
Seriously weijang, you're making a big mistake, should of just recolored him in "sleep" mode

>>6072544
Well I have a few clear gundam model kits, its the fact you can't "paint" something see through, it helps more if there is detail underneath or the support moldings can mimmick that.

There is the ghost/crystal thing, or perhaps a modder can add some led's and light him like a christmas tree I guess

>>6072547
Maybe so but considering you can get mpp10 for less than a takara mp10 they're clearly not too worried as they're springboarding from someone else's design, that and that section of the foot feels like wasted detail so it helps if you're into that.

Some ko mp10's (as in reg size and the voyager one) even pick details in the back too for the same reasons

>>6072550
Well it's Wei Jiang, they gotta milk their two best molds.

So expect them to do a battle-damaged one to go with Takara's Megatron.

>>6072552
They're also trying their own one much like those conehead seeker knock offs.

Its certainly a good thing to be a tf collector, but if you're a diehard official only kinda guy you'll be crying into your wallet.

>>6072554
They're also trying their hand at their original mold 3P Megatron.

>Releasing an MP take on gun megs with Despo, Mighty, and the Tak one already out

Why

>>6072607
They should of waited on mp36 to come out so they can upscale it later rather than trying to make their own OC take.

I think they just want people to acknowledge they can design their own shit

Today I bought a pile of literal shit because some of it was on clearance and some of it was just new shit I wanted.

In the event takara does something different for breakaway other than a repaint with a new head I'll just repaint the eyes and call him someone else, took all my courage to avoid the hotrod, I suspect it'll be redeco'd and retooled soon enough.

Only bought overboard so I can use him on the future overlord leader for laughs

Fun fact, the clearance price on the leader seekers means 4 titan masters=one leader seeker.

I don't plan to unbox the seekers though, everything else I will shortly

And by that I mean an MP sixshot.

Give it a few years anon, the current is a marvel in itself, let alone an mp.

Let them work out proper triple changers first before him, he'll be insane when he comes

>>6072616
At the current moment it would seem so, for the fuck all we've heard about future stuff. I'd be willing to go for Tak's one, but It's a sureshot it'll have the dull anime colours, no crap stickers though, so that's a plus.

Nice pic anon, Care to post more stuff like this?

We need pics like this when the threads go to shit, I mean look at ratchet's face, so full of joy

>>6072627
I hope it's minicons, specifically targetmasters.

Although, they've already done some classic targetmasters so I dunno.

>>6072627
>>6072630
They probably won't do minicons since RID has been doing it.

>>6072070
I prefer this gimmick over cw actually, the mold reuse isn't so harsh (yet) and the ability to retool a toy to look more different than its predecessor is easier to do when a giant peg isn't in the way.

Yes it bugs me target masters like hot and scourge are headmasters with their TM's are now their heads but least they're partnered correctly (although then we got stuff like trigger happy with is a welcome touch).

That and making someone a headmaster that wasn't isn't so bad as making ironhide into a skinny fuck who makes a limb but nothing else

>>6072630
We kinda have them with the titan master packs, vehicle, other form, and a gun for anyone else to hold.

I hope its a whole new gimmick

>>6072633
Problem with those minicons is they're pretty bland, robot to gun and 5mm ports only, titan master packs meanwhile give several functions INCLUDING the gun as well as a fun head to mess with.

I see tr as a good thing, I liked combiner wars only when we had shit like superion and co but titan wars so far has been top notch, what the next gimmick is will be amazing or bust

>>6072633
That's a good point.

I can't really think of any other gimmicks.

What horrible gimmicks can we think up?

>>6072641

Oversized spring loaded missile launchers with hair triggers that eat up the paint budget on every figure.

>>6072633
Weaponizers are already over though (with seemingly a few in those 2 packs with the stealth force type vehicles) so I would think Targetmasters are possible. Power Core Combiners had targetmasters/weaponizers, mini cons, and combiners as a gimmick, so I don't see why they couldn't bring any of those possibilities back. Could always bring back some measure of powerlinx too.

I asked long ago, for some oc ideas, dunno if we're just stagnant or my stipulation of something TOTALLY new was an issue but most anons were pessimistic on coming up with anything new.

They could of had ar functionality or game to life like skylanders and shit but they wasted it on that crappy rid app in which you could scan figs before buying them.

I can't even properly remember some oc great ideas we came up with last time but many bare resemblance from existing ideas, I think one was battle armor that was modular but integrated into the transformation (and those those kreon sets were brought up), that would of been nifty
