So that's not a mistransformation then?

>>6077936

Toy colors, plz. The purple version is nice, but I think when they went green for more variety on the shelves, they inadvertently came up with something more iconic for him. See the video game appearance as well.

>>6077932
So it's not a mistake, that's seriously it?

>>6077938

Nah, I think the plane mode is confirmed to be ass. Shame, since it doesn't seem like it's that far off from being able to move the legs down and to the rear a bit more.

>>6077932
Guess I'll pass on it. Broadside's plane mode is awful, and he looks like he uses a ton of easily scratch able paint.

I guess you could flatten it out... i.e. just flip the aircraft carrier around and flip the wings out.

>>6077946

Yes. Broadside's paint apps are easily scratched. I saw a sample with literally scratched paint after a few transformations.

Maybe the jet mode is trying to pull off a Legioss fighter with that whole chunk on the back. It would work if they had some huge-ass thrusters in the rear but seeing how the legs are reused from Alpha Trion I don't see them sculpting those in.

>>6078603
>The coming sign of the end times the return of the Basic, Deluxe, Mega, and Ultra class for the third part of Prime Wars.

I wouldn't mind that; the "Legends" and "Voyager" sizepoints are silly, and a lame relic from Energon. The Beast Wars-RiD size classes are kinda vague(Best, bester, and bestest), but voyager's always been a stupid term, even in cybertron.

And I'd be all for full beast wars, but that ain't happening under John warden.

>>6077928
That's a nice and chunky robot.

>>6078608
Thanks for the info.

>>6078633
for you

>>6077932
It's completely senseless that this mode is so bad when the other one just has to lay flat.

>>6078612
Considering 99% of people just want Devastator and he has great articulation, yeah it's pretty ridiculous.

If this was someone whose robot move was most important, like most characters, that's one thing. But come on, with combiners the only thing that matters is if the combined more looks good in the end. I'd rather have robot mode sacrifices made if it means a better combiner mode, as opposed to trying to make everything look good, and ending up with something shitty like FOC Bruticus that doesn't have any good modes.

>>6078819
There can be exceptions. PCC didn't have a single half-decent combiner, but some of the torso-minicon 2packs are pretty good on their own.

>>6078819
>I'd rather have robot mode sacrifices made if it means a better combiner mode
Because we all know UW Devastator is such a mess that can't stand for shit because of those 4 extra bits of plastic on Scrapper.
Oh wait that isn't an issue at all and you sound like you're clutching at straws to cover up your buyers remorse.

You know who needs a new toy? That said Takara will probably make one from the Paralon mold.

>>6078819
Not him but there are some teams where the members are just as popular as the combiner. There wouldn't be the contrast between the Technobots and Computron if they weren't a band of badasses featuring robot Wojack that combine into an autistic robot manchild; each of the combaticons are memorable if simple characters; Hot Spot, Silverbot, Blades, Fireflight are also memorable characters themselves if only for having dumb gimmicky personalities. I want the Combaticons to look cool and have good toys as much as I want them to combine into a good Bruticus because I'm a fan of them.

Not Devastator, though. Nobody cares about each of the constructicons individually.

>>6078847
I'm so fucking tired of RID's exclusives. Stop that shit. Fuck.
I want Paralon but I can't get one outside of Murrika without being price-gouged for it.

>>6078858
I'd rather have Generations BW Scorponok, but if Takara made Blackarachnia out of Animated Blackarachnia then they'll probably make Scorponok out of Paralon.

>>6078842
Forgive me for not caring enough to spend $75 more when it initially came out, for 4 little extra bits of plastic on a character I don't give a damn about as long as he looks good as a leg. The current $20 difference still isn't enough for me to care.

>>6078858
>Combaticons
Yeah, I guess you're right, they slipped my mind. Which is bad, they're my favorite combiner team too. I was really happy with their releases, I thought they looked great in all modes.

As for others, yeah Devastator I don't think anyone cares about the individuals. I truthfully can't tell you what the predacons aside from Razorclaw look like in robot mode. I liked Superion because I just feel like "Hey as long as Silverbolt looks good and they all turn into jets and a decent Superion." And my only grip with Menasor was not the shitty robot mode of Breakdown, but I didn't like how Menasor's torso was wonky.

Bruticus I think is the combiner I'm most happy with. The only thing I didn't like was Take-Off not getting a new head for himself, but oh well, whatever. Still really happy aside from that.

All I want is this guy. I'm a bit annoyed because the original is perfect, but he can't hold together for shit. I managed to find one, and after 4 days he snapped in half.

Didn't someone take a broken megs and swap the Armada's version joint?

>>6078933
Strange. I've had the Takara version of this guy for the longest time with no problems. I only found out he had gold plastic syndrome when I came on here.

>>6078937
>Strange. I've had the Takara version of this guy for the longest time with no problems.
>Takara version
Well there you go, that's the reason why. Takara's version used a different plastic (I think a black one instead of brown?) that wasn't as fragile as whatever one the Hasbro version is.

I'd love to get a Takara version, but I rarely find them available, and if I do, it's too expensive for what I'm willing to spend.

>>6078939
>>6078941
Wait, what do you guys mean by black plastic? Are you talking about all the bronze on him?

79KB, 500x451px

>>6078946
No, the plastic that's in his waste, since that's the most common breaking point you'll find. If you were to compare the two side by side, you'd notice that the main body of the Takara one is slightly darker, more black than the Hasbro one. The closer to brown plastic on the Hasbro one is weaker, especially at what holds the waist together, and this happens with little stress.

>>6078946
The two hinges that connect the waist and the Dino tail. Those are castes in their own plastic. Hasbro used a brown/gold plastic, Takara was black plastic.

>>6078922
The predacon limbs are basically all just guys using their beast head as a helmet. And they're all red/orange/yellow

Except for rampage. His beast head is on his chest.

>>6078858
Personally, I never thought I would say "Scrapper is a fucking badass" before Transformers Devastation, but here we are.

Long Haul is a close second because he gets the best taunt in the game.

I wouldn't worry too much about scratched samples. From what I can glean off them retools tend to be hand-painted for the explicit purpose of getting across the visual feel.
The sample of Blast Off for CW Bruticus floating around for convention displays had some red visible implying that it was a firefly figure with the slingshot head explicitly placed on it after it was made.

Blast Off was the breaking point on the retool hell of combiner wars, especially since Bruticus was the most anticipated team. For me though, Computron was a bigger waste.

>Scattershot was the Betatron version, Superion torso and all
>Strafe had no weapons, not even a recolor of Airraid/Skydive's, on top of not looking like the toy or toon outside the head
>Nosecone had no new head and barely any attempt to look like him in color or alt-mode
>Lightsteed was a red Streetwise

Only Afterburner, Scrounge, and the hands and feet were any good, but that's not anywhere near worth 100 mcdollars. It really didn't help that the UW set was out around the same time for $30 more and is arguably the best of Takara's releases.

>>6079171
Computron is the only scramble combiner in the entire CW/UW series where the UW is superior to the CW. That's basically the verdict.

It's okaaay. Some say it's the G1 toy with added articulation but I don't have the original to know.

Paint is chipping and stickers are peeling on mine.

>>6079220
He's an almost perfect recreation of G1 Sixshot with articulation. The problem is his articulation isn't that great since his ankles are poorly designed, no wrists, no waist, and limited shoulders. He's also got an ugly wolf neck that needs a titan master to fill in a giant gap and shitty pre-applied stickers which is something Takara probably can't fix.

I say wait for a Takara or for Hasbro's to go on sale. $35 seems like the upper limit for me.

I got the knock-off PEs and definitely had to shave down the pegs before using them. Not really a problem after that though.

>>6079220
For having six modes, I'd say he is definately worth the pricetag. However, the head is actually painted white and might chip.

Personally, I'm waiting for LG Sixshot. There's also an upcoming Quickswitch retool, and the possibility of Greatshot and Sixknight.

What were Gen Rattrap's faulty parts?
I remember hearing about it having soft plastic gears and shit calves or something like that.

Computron's hands and feet were pretty meh, especially considering the amount of money people are paying for them.

I love how you can store the hands in the feet and then stack them for a super-compact storage, but that's about the only thing it has going for it. The completely hollow bottom means your options for display surfaces are really limited. Most surfaces will not have enough traction for the feet to be stable in poses.

Are people than dumb that they're still clinging to Hasbro to release an Abominus or Predaking? That will never happen unless Hasbro finds some way to cheapen the materials and release them with next to no paint. Why don't people trust Takara more as the actual provider of Transformers is beyond me. There are also many third part options that are worth every penny to tide people over until an official release that are just as good as anything that Takara puts out.

The Predacons each only use about 3 colors of plastic, and theres only 4 colors of plastic total for the entire group: yellow, orange, black, and red.

I'm not, but the part I am is to bring it to an anonymous message broad about the toys is a surprise. It raises so many questions about the person(s).

Starting with Afterburner, he's the only one that is actually good on both sets. Hasbros needed thinner paints on hos guns, but otherwise they have great colors for what each one is going for. Hasbros does have weak calve connections though, and I really like red, so Takara wins this round.

>>6080103
I got Computron for about 80 burger bucks since I really wanted scrounge and I got all the other box sets at $30. Computicon I paid full price for because I want every version of the rook mold, and I'm glad I did since he's only gotten more expensive as time goes on.

>>6080107
I will say I like the hands and feet, but don't expect too much from them. I'll explain later in some pics.

>>6080112
I like it more when the members of a combiner team have their own thing going on and the combiner ends up looking mismatched because of it. That's possibly the reason why I don't care about Devastator or Predaking that much.

UW Computron is still the better toy, though.

Strafe is the start of the deviations. Hasbro has said they went for toy accuracy, and he is in alt-mode, but man that robot mode is really a stretch. The long unfolding leg wings don't help. He doesn't even have a weapon of his own in contrast to Takara's who can't even hold all of his. Sadly, the cartoon orange is too bright to match Hasbros, so it still doesn't look quite right giving him the little gun.

>>6079704

That said, I happen to have some spare construct bot weapons, so I let him have a wrist blade. It goes great with that excellent head sculpt. Still, toon Strafe is just so much better with his rich white color, cleaner bot design, and his tremendous feet. I just love how they look like clawed turbines that will burn and cut anything he kicks.

Best of all, Takara's strafe has so many options for weapons. The shin fins can be totally ignored in all modes, but you can remove them and give Strafe dual tonfa blades. He can even all hulk hands, but they don't look as great as on Rook. Probably because his slimmer arms make them look like ham hands. Shame about his hollow legs though.

while both Strafes have butt plugs for stands in robot mode, neither have any for jet mode. It's a shame since they both have really nice altmodes and I'd love to have them flying around with the crew, especially Takaras. That smoothness curvature just hits all the fetishes. Thankfully, there's always a friend to help out.

Once again, score one for Takara.

Now for the controversy to start. Lightsteed is possibly the most infuriating part of the CW set since he's a steaight repaint of Streetwise. While the mold choice isn't bad, this coloring is just awful. It looks like unpainted plastic with details that aren't picked out. It's supposed to look like the original toy, but with no new tooling and the fucking painted light bar, it just falls totally flat.

Say what you will about Lightspeed's sports car mode, it sure looks nice despite being more homage than accurate. Also, I'm technically not using the proper HFGs with Takara's team, but screw it, I love the engine block look in alt mode.

In fairness, the mold is still great. If you're okay with Fire Rescue Lightspeed, he's good. As a technobot, he's just saddening.

>>6080199

I don't think they know Cybertron is Primus. Or it might not even be Primus in IDW-verse, since they recently found the mold where Cybertron was possibly made. I don't know.

I may be a minority here, but I love the Breakdown mold. Not the original one, but the Wheeljack retool is just great. Lightspeed is no exception, and I just adore his maroon and silver. His head is weird when seen from any other angle than the front and his reds can bleed together if you have shotty lights, like me, but that's not enough to ruin him for me. Couple that with dual rifles and he's managed to become one of my top favorites from this set. Not THE top though.

I don't think anyone will defend CW Nosecone. He's just ass. I know he's a drill 'tank,' but this just feels lazy. At least a retooled turret section.

UW Nosecone is fucking amazing though. Huge solid drill, accurate silhouette, and a ton of extra weapons.

>>6080271

I like the CW's colors, and I like the Brawl mold, but next to the UW, yeah, he's just spewing low-effort. And the Rook mold is so much better than just about every other CW mold.

This just isn't fair. This is like Usain Bolt competing in the special Olympics. CW used the worst limb mold with no new head and a teeny, hollow drill, and bland colors. This is honestly worse than Lightsteed to me.

UW used the best mold with a splendid new head, new weapons that are compatible with standard figure hands, and some lovely colors. The new tread tooling also means he has plenty of storage for guns. I like the look of hos treads being a kind of vest, but I do wish they could rotate up to clean slim up the torso.

To be fair, that is what he's supposed to look like in terms of colors. G1 Nosecone was a dark-ass brown.

UW Nosecone gets all the bitches. That big ass drill really gets the lubricant flowing if you know what I mean. It's not that great though since the handle is in an awkward place and doesn't stay in his hand well. It's terrible too since there's a hile that looks like a peg could fit in for a centered grip, but it's JUST too small for lego or shapeways pieces. I don't mind though. It looks way better than CWs in every way, especially since it has an even more awkward peg placement. UW Nosecone is the highlight of the set for me.

>>6080276
I remember when everyone thought Brawl would be a retool of Rook when he was first announced. I wish he was. Brawl needs to have a big beefy body since he's the mindless fighter of the combaticons. CW's is just weedy and lanky with a terrible upper body.

These hands are pretty great for hulking out. Sadly they don't really match the color, but neither did the HFGs, so I'm screwed either way.

Really, unless your Nosecone needs tread shoulders, the UW is just the king.

Now here's a real toughie. Scrounge was aninexpected addition to the team. The CW figure only has a head that resembles Scrounge from the comics.

On the other hand, Takara's scrounge is a dead ringer for his cartoon appearance. His design looks like it leaped out of the cartoon. Still, I really prefer theh Hasbro one because I'm weird.

The Autobot Heroes set has Arcee and Magnus plus some pretty good molds as well. Arcee doesn't have her guns though and the whole set has splotches of metallic paint, so that might be hard to swallow. That and the 150 burger buck price.

I say wait for the set to go on sale or get them well after the holidays because getting them second hand now will suck balls. Unless you aren't American in which case you're screwed either way.

Let's be honest: this mold is definitively Cosmos. Maybe not fat enough, but he's got the round parts needed to evoke him.

However, just getting a one issue character from the old ass comics from a really great mold with more new tooling than most other line characters is a huge treat. Cybaxx is an unpainted eyesore, but the fact that he's there at all is remarkable since only Huffer, Pipes, and the legends seekers came with extra weapons in CW.

>>6080373
We may be getting a new Arcee, and Magnus in 2018.

Maybe it's just that this mold has been used a trillion times, but I just can't get into either Scattershot. The UW has nicer colors, but they still don't have the chunk or shape I want from a Scattershot altmode. That said, both of these guys are way better than the red plastic dump of the betatron Scattershot clogging TJ Maxxs nation wide.

Here they are, standing at attention since their feet can't support them doing anything else. CW looks like he's wearing underwear and has that pre-sunned white I don't like on my Technobots. Plus that pink gun is just obnoxious.

UW has some new tooling in his chest, but it doesn't really change him too much. It's no Cyclonus, but it is appreciated. The guns make up for it though. They're beefy and look great when held akimbo. Sadly both molds suffer from massive collar syndrome which prevents the heads from turning more than 30 degrees in either direction. The face also looks flat, and both pf them have it, so both really fall low on the totem for me.

Takara still wins because of the guns and white, but it really comes ahead with the rest of his new tooling.

>>6080472
I agree. That nasty greyish plastic is just so nasty looking. Maybe on a junkion, but this is just not the place for it.

>>6080489

Yeah, I don't know why they like using that creme or "old" looking plastic color. A nice, cold white is best for most 'bots.

Now we're back to the start, and in fairness, the colors are quite toyetic and the hands & feet look really nice. But that torso just kills it. It's got the right colors, but that is Superion. It would have beenbetter to have a computron face redecoed into Superions than vice versa. At least Superion appeared without a faceplate. The shoulder sticker decals are pretty nice, but the plain plastice torso could have used a bit of extra color.

Thought the feet look nice, they can't hold any more poses than the HFGs. I find they are worse for posing since their hollow bottoms and light weight make centering the figure's weight quite difficult. This is the best I could do. The hands are great though. They'd be perfect if he could hold Shockwave, butthe gap between his fingers and the hole isn't the right shape and is too small.

Here's the alternate limb config. Neither arm holds together very well, but Afterbreaker and Strafe make decent legs if you don't mind the huge amounts of extra kibble sticking up. Also you can still use Scrounge on Nosecone, but the differing yellows are really obvious in a bad way.

>>6080517
I'm still waiting for that set to get even cheaper. I'm hoping to find her at Ross for $30 and not a cent more. From what I've seen though, they're also hollow and have even lesssurface are to stand on, so I doubt her heels are any better.

>>6080522

Here's Takara's take. It's got so much red and white, whith Afterburner's blue completing the patriotic combo. Strafe's arm looks like a better match to Afterburner's wheel thickened shape, plus the wings can fold in entirely for maximum articulation. Sadly, Strafe has two nubs that holds his waist in the straight forward position in robot mode, and they only make twisting his arm needlessly difficult. No other limb has them besides the Blastoff molds, and I can't think of any reason why they would add them.

Of course, the real highlight is the new torso tooling. The head is magnificent and features hard plastic antennae. His chest also features soft white tampos that represent his cartoon chest lights. They're such a unique way to distinguish Computron and really help emphasize his new squarer chest.
