>Hasbro Sixshot
I'll wait for Takara's.
>>6091928
I'll wait for Takara everything until Hasbro stops with the shitty stickers
>>6091928
It's the same fucking thing with a extra paint apps that will cost you $20 extra.
>>6091933
>extra paint apps
more like less paint apps
>Finally get Triggerhappy
>Get two identical guns
GG Hasbro. I know there was another anon who had the same problem. Did you get these two pieces as well?
>>6091933
and plastic that's actually white instead of that off white half transparent cheap looking shit hasbro uses.
>>6091933
So? Those extra paint apps have the potential of making the toy look better. Takara would also change the thighs to white, which would make the helmet cast in white plastic too, avoiding the paint chipping issue.
>>6091945
Don't forget Universe Prowl and Combiner Wars Wheeljack.
>>6091945
Anyone as bumbed as me about how most of the Hasbro TMs don't have painted faces? I'm aware some will get/have gotten Takara paints but some like Clobber, Soverign, and others won't. I don't really have the talent to paint my own as you can see.
>>6091945
The off white doesn't suffer yellowing like bleach/bone white.
>>6091969
I'm pretty gutted Blowpipe doesn't have any paint on him. Even a little red on his visor would be nice.
>>6091944
Mine came with the correct guns. However, he has a mysterious stress mark under his wing. Guess it got stressed at the factory? I dunno.
>>6091969
Yep.
>>6091969
Not me. I don't really care because putting paint on a major friction area (TM head) seems like a terrible idea.
Just wondering
What is the current retail price for the on market TFer?
Like the Titans return stuff?
15 for deluxe
25 for Voyager
50 for leader?
>>6091989
See I agree and disagree becuase the big gimmick is these little guys playing around in bases and vehicles but it loses its charm when they are single color bricks.
So are nebulans still canon?
>>6092007
They were never a thing on the japanese continuity, Hasbro/IDW hasn't said if the titanmasters are Nebulan or not.
>>6092011
Japanese continuity might as well not exist far as Hasbro is concerned though. None of any of the relevant media takes note of it beyond the occasional "lol heres random Japanese TF in the background maybe".
It also somehow manages to be an even bigger clusterfuck than any other bit of TF continuity.
>>6091998
Who plays with their toys from a distance?
>>6092011
Actaully that pamphlet from Comic con stated they are cybertronians
>>6092007
See that looks terrible with no paint.
>>6092028
It actually doesn't look that bad in person because the thing is so FUCKING SMALL YOU DON'T SEE THE DETAILS YOU'RE MISSING
:D
>>6092011
IDW said they're just an ancient subspecies of Cybertronian - specifically they existed to maintain Titans like Metroplex. And also servants of the 13 Primes.
>>6092032
In person it be worse because it's just a blob with no character. It doesn't have to be covered in paint but somthing as simple as some paint on the face creates a lot of character.
>>6092028
That's what these are for
Did you anons get anything for christmas?
I got generatons deluxe cybertronian optimus prime. Also generations bomber megatron and toyworld Orionvil.
>>6092042
Probably going to get pic related with holiday $ and an Amazon gift card I got from a relative
>>6092041
>using ink on plastic in lieu of paint apps
>using a Sharpie to paint the near microscopic details on Titanmasters
just no
>>6092042
I got a revoltech deadpool and a Generations Drift.
>>6092042
I got Energon Tidal Wave and Generation Kup.
>>6092041
That's not an excuse to not paint them.
Assuming this is legit, do you think it would have lights and sound gimmick? Seems like they're doing everything in their power to hide every bit of kibble.
>>6092049
The sharpies have never been used
Here's an old pic of my sentinel prime
>>6092054
I Just picked up sexshot today, still haven't decided how to paint him
>>6092056
That's different. You're using the pens to panel line the figure, which really won't wipe away ever. And the silver Sharpie I'm guessing for the other areas. But doing that on the Headmaster guys would be really difficult unless you had a powerful magnifying lens and maybe a vice to hold it steady.
>>6092055
If this is real then there's no excuse for them to not be able to pull of Megatron.
>>6092069
Well that's easier due to being a cybertronian vehicle. The problem is whether they'll cheap it by using gray plastic.
>>6092055
>lights and sound gimmick
>I am Optimus Prime
>I am Optimus Pr-
>I am Opti-

>>6092056
Show me the work on the Titan Master's head and body.
>>6091945
That a lot of recent releases of Hasbro's have had this "stored with care in a smoker's home for the last 20 years" look to them has led to me importing more often.
>>6092057

I figured out why sexshot has 90 degree ankle tilts...
EPIC SPLITU!
>>6092095
I'm meant the small guy, details on him.
>>6092076
Not that anon but here are a couple of titan masters that I detailed with a sharpie. I just did the chest and arms on soundwave, and the chest and legs on blaster.
Sharpie wears off so I'll probably redo this periodically.
>>6092055
If it's a Rotf level transformation I'll be happy to buy the special Japanese release in the fall with extra paint and shit.
Until this summer I'm pleased with my DMK still.
>>6092110
It looks awful for a pile of reasons and reinforces the point that Hasbro should just put that little bit of effort into the figures.
>>6092055
well that's impressive
kinda looked like FE Prime OP
>>6092112
oh now that's very sexy.

So when they start selling them missing screws you are just going to tell us to buy our own screws and shut up?
>>6092126
I'm not understanding the issue with it
>>6092129
It's shit, causes issues with video quality.
Get MPC-HC or something better.
Dance off
>>6092135
MPC-HC saves images at low quality and can't put subtitles where they belong though.
>>6092135
Not him but I only use it for hentai in stupid formats and playing back corrupted files. MPC Really doesn't like to do the latter.
>>6092137
He means MPC-HC with CCCP
>>6092042
>generatons deluxe cybertronian optimus prime
Someone must really love you. It's not the best toy, but definitely one of the best-looking.
>>6092136
Blaster sets up the best scenes.
>>6092173
Plays limbo music as well!
>>6092079
This is kinda different. Here, Hasbro was actually trying to be gray to emulate the original toy, while Takara was going for white to match the cartoon.
But I do agree that Hasbro's gray is pretty shit. People can say "hurrrr, same factory" all they want, but it's clear that one has much lower standards.
>>6092069
The thing is they do a new Megatron alt mode for every movie so they don't really have time to refine their transformations in the toys.
Alt mode contest
Who wins?
>>6091933
worth the cost
>>6092254
IMASHAAARK SUCK MAH DIIIIIIICK
This is literally all they needed to do to prevent people from going the takara route, more paint, that's all they needed to do.
Yeah, this much work would increase the cost, but it'll be cheaper than the RnD for retooling, at the very least repainting the chest and truck cab would of helped.
Not that I care I own both and I love, just saying
>>6092282
>transport that's exhausts are aiming the wrong way
it's a shrump you fucking faggot those are his cannons
>>6092286
Nah that'd still be inferior.
>>6092286
i like how the only way to avoid shit fling on /tfg/ is to buy both version or nothing at all
>>6092297
I buy whichever version I like more. But 99% of the time it ends up being takara.
>>6092055
The transformation would be more complex than ROTF Prime to pull this off
>>6091970
This, it's why I kind of prefer Hasbro white
>>6092055
It's third party. Looks pretty neat though.
Wonder what the actual one would look like if an official leader figure was made.
>all these takaracucks baiting
>all these newfags biting
Fucking christ what the fuck is wrong with you bunch?
Would somebody recommend me this mold?
I don't own a voyager Prime and think this might be a good chance. But I heard it is much better going after the classic prime for more accurate look.
Any suggestions?
>>6092336
Might want to try looking into KBB MP10-V
>>6092329
There is no bait anon. Only the truth.
>>6092340
Truth is subjective.
>>6092336
just get the 2006 classics or henkei prime, that mold is better
if you really want the new mold wait for Octane or the Star Convoy version Takara will inevitably do.
>>6092340
And no truth has been posted thus far.
Goddamn these threads are turning to shit. Looks like what that anon said about jan-march being a deadzone is true.
>>6092346
Get out TFW
>>6092347
>people being home all the time due to the holiday rush
Also why shit goes bad during spring break, summer, etc. Vacations are just excuses for people to stop shitting up real life and start shitting up 4chan.
>>6092351
>summer
This is literally the most well known example of a bad time to be on 4chan though. Anyone who's been on here for more than a year knows that summer is the worst time for 4chan throughout the entire year.
>>6092355
What defines cheap looking plastic?
>>6092357
Don't bother giving him replies, this is the most obvious bait I've seen in years.
>>6092340
Yeah and the truth is takaracucks are the worst shitposters here
>>6092355
Takara also having horrible QC issues is also truth (see powerpuff's "feet" having no friction at all or their Blast Off)
>>6092365
oh right that 1 (one) toy
>>6092365
Those are more like design flaws. As far as QCs go, they're the exact same as Hasbro.
>>6092359
But I like giving replies. It makes things happen.
>>6092366
>one toy
>literally mentions two figures
Wow. You're actually completely retarded
>>6092370
What did you expect, he's a takaracuck
>>6092297
You can catch shit even if you buy both versions. The only way not to catch shit is to never post about it.
>>6092365
>see powerpuff's "feet" having no friction at all
Is this confirmed or what?
The figure is schedule to hit tomorrow (Japan Time), so what are you basing this on?
PS: I would not be surprised if that is the case though. TFer's feet do not rub well against flat desk compared to something like gundam model. I think is it because of the plastic used.
>>6092367
Friction and tabbing issues are QC problems, not design flaws. Those would be things like limited articulation due to transforming.
>>6092373
>I haven't had any QC issues with Takara toys
>So that means those are a myth!
I guess that means Hasbro doesn't have any QC issues then since my toys don't have them!
>>6092381
no. it just means hasbro and takara have equal amount of QC issues and buying either won't magically cause more or less QC issues.
it's a myth because people take one guy saying their bruticus broke and acting as if most bruticus toys will be like that instead of realizing that people who don't have issues won't say anything.
>>6092374
I think that chinese review was talking about back/front balancing, pretty obvious flaw seeing how there's no toes or heel struts. Should be fine with the Godbomber DLC.
>>6092392
>chinese review
Source?
Is fort max worth 106 cad w/free shipping?
That's my Amazon price after gift cards.
>>6092404
Well it's technically below retail? This is pretty subjective m8. How much do you see yourself enjoying him? He wasn't worth it for me even when he dropped lower than 70, because I just didn't see what I could do with him. On the other hand, I spent 66 on G2 Menasor because I'm just that autistic.
Toy Dojo shipped my MP soundwave Parcel Select, are the horror stories true? Will my soundwave show up completely crushed?
>>6092427
>>6092114
Of course it looks awful. It's a quick sharpie job. I do agree that Hasbro should paint these.
The sharpie job works better with faces though.
>>6092128
Yeah. 3rd party screws are better. Lol
>>6092454
>3rd party screws are better

I really love it that the best option for an optimus toy is a glorified downsized knockoff.
>>6092465
the second one never even happens to me. hell, even when I want to INTENTIONALLY remove paint for customization purposes or if there's a splotch I want to get off it can be a pain in the ass.
are hasbrofags just ham handed?

Whoah there, jin.

Takara screws - g1 cartoon accurate

So I was browsing around looking for cheap mp's to add to my collection and ten I saw this.
>may have some surface rust
Good god, so I bring a question, what the living fuck is up with diecast in tf's these days?
They seem to only use it in very minimal ways (strengths some weak sections such as mp shockwave's cannon strut or mp magnus's feet or mp10's feet for better pose balance) but never in large sections like the old g1 days, and after seeing the shit mp05 copped because it so easily...
>Is modern diecast shit or do they just choose to use the cheapest diecast for tf's?
I wanted an mp01 for the sake of having it but this is a major turn off, my search continues for a buddy for mp mp10
>>6092336
That one is not good really, better to wait and get either the KBB MP-10 voyager size KO, or grab a Striker manus figure for a voyager prime.
>>6092467
Depends really, I noticed when takara paints its a mix of cartoon accuracy to the point where friction MIGHT be a problem or it perfectly accounts for it.
For hasbro the (few) paint apps are thick, if any bits catch then it skims off in a noticeable way, I tried to strip paint off my tr skull masher and while the screws got fucked over by bleach the paint and plastic held up, dafuq?
But I worry about the paint on the cw liokaiser set, shit is too thick and yet the canopy on fellbat got nicked in the factory, it looks like shit and that makes me nervous about the black sections on deathsarus
>>6092474
Die cast is a lost art.

Dad and his wife's son.
Question about this guy, I have the choice of the repainted and retooled mb-11 version coming out soon or I can buy the original for a 3rd of the price right now second hand?
And would paint scratching on his feet be an issue, I'm aware the truck grill on the mb-11 is painted, looks amazing but that truck grill becomes his feet
>>6092507
I'd personally suggest hunting down the Buster version where his tanks become the ion cannon. The original hasbro one doesn't have that sort of gimmick.
Also, are you looking for the abs version or the first version?
>>6092485
Kek, that reminds me that I bought an unopened figure of him for $7 this year. Box was beat to shit but the figure and everything inside was pristine. Electronics still work as well, so I've got plenty of that.
>>6092466
Well, when you KO the best Optimus toy and keep pretty much everything about it the same while also having good quality plastic, yeah, no shit it ends up the best in it's size class.
Literally the only downside of this thing is that it has diecast. Thats it. Thats the only fuckup. And some people even think diecast is a boon (it never is, stop fucking kidding yourselves, it's literally junk metal).
>>6092511
The hardest part about buying it is trying to find a trailer and stickers to come with. Other than that, it's the best.
>>6092509
I found one in a pawn shop but not only is the price ridiculous ($50 more than the new one coming) but where am I gonna store that big ass thing (kinda ruins my head cannon too since it ain't in the movie).
>Also, are you looking for the abs version or the first version?
Um, not sure, I like the look of the abs on the later versions but if the toys are still relatively the same I might as well go the old version (I know the blades have been removed on the newer ones)
>>6092474
Die cast is always shit. It's shit tier, shit grade metal. Thats why they used to make toys out of it, because it was cheap as fuck.
Nowadays retards are convinced it's gold and a good thing, when really it's just horse shit.
>>6092512
Modern Optimus toys usually never have a trailer anyway. Which sucks. Fucking asshole cheap cocksucking exec's and bean counters can't allow the extra bit of plastic for anything.
>>6092513
Abs versions usually come WITH his later ion cannon aka the shot gun thing and that his swords are separate rather than spring loaded. It's easier to find the abs ones at a lower cost due to well, having a lot of different more expensive versions (Premium paint, jetwing, jetwing repaints, minigun, black, Asia Premium complete edition, etc).
Depending on what you want, you could either
-Wait for the new rerelease of the mold, but it will be expensive but it's more complete
-Buy the Hasbro ones, which is either the swords version or the battle damaged faceplate-off hooks version
-Find a Takara one from the abs line.
-Find a knockoff on Ebay
>>6092515
Closest is the Titan Returns, where the trailer IS part of him.
>>6092517
I see, thanks
>>6092519
And yet they removed his feet when the nips did him
>>6092531
Don't you have better things to do with your time?
That isn't even relevant to what they're talking about.

Looks like a cyclonus pretool though
>Got TR cu ck rod
Cuc k indeed. Fucking flimsy joints! It's like a deluxe version of the recent wheelie. And are those wheels painted clear plastic?
i think takara win if only their stuff are not expensive
>>6092007
They're not mentioned in the TR toy continuity.
Nebulos did exist in the IDW continuity and Scorponok was working together with Zarak there to create Headmasters, but he was stopped by Ultra Magnus; him picking his work up again on Earth was a big deal in the -ion era of the comics.
Headmasters had been a thing with Transforners for millions of years earlier, though, so you could say that in IDW's continuity, Headmasters were actually an attempt to reverse engineer Titan masters.

This is like the exact opposite of a Christmas miracle. Welp, I'm never buying official combiners ever again. Quantron for me I guess.
>>6092686
You sure you didn't accidentally apply extreme force?
>>6092690
Nah this was the Takara release with the retooled Rook for Nosecone.
>>6092691
I'm pretty sure, I'm really careful with my figures. I'm used to dealing with Figma, so I know to be extra careful. The peg just gave way.
>>6092692
That sucks. You think you could plastic cement the parts back/
>>6092692
oh shit I read that wrong (deletes post out of embarrassment) but everyone could get a drill hand out of him, dunno how yours went wrong.
How did you try to remove it (now I got a better idea of it), did you wriggle it out, pull it straight up, you may handle figma but those move with little force, sometimes these fool you and may require more force but in others need less
>>6092694
He would need to do more than that, once the peg is gone its fucked.
Even tried to fix a stand on a bandai figure stand, because I have, it may hold but trying to move it and snap again, model glue or super glue won't save it
>>6092694
Unfortunately not. I tried extracting the peg from the port and it just shredded like so much cheese. I do have a broken Shapeways peg I could use, but A: Shapeways plastic is pretty cacky, B: I can't get the existing peg out of the socket, and C: I don't think it would hold up to repeated transformations. And I'm someone who likes to actually transform their transformers so that would be a problem.
No, I'll just have to send it back. Fortunately TFS Express have great customer service so I should be able to get it sorted.
I'm not gonna lie, I was suspicious of it the moment I opened it. The wings on Scattershot were made of this weird floppy shit, and all the plastic felt oddly creaky and cheap.
>>6092700
at least you can return it. I don't think I could return something that was user error.
>>6092669
I wish it was a case of cheap vs expensive, but when you're outside the US, TakaTomy TFs are just a few bucks more than Hasbro's...sometimes even cheaper.
>>6092700
I'm convinced you got a knockoff. My Computicon has had no problems with any joints. The flexible plastic on Scattershot is there, but the peg on nosecone is tough as a rock.
Can you take some pics of the damage?

Man, I like Animated but what I really love was the Geewunized or Bayformer-fied toys of the Animated characters.
>>6092712
>pls release repaints
I would've assumed it was a petition to finish/release the canceled toys like that voyager Megatron, but it's just for this shit?
Meanwhile, my animated collection is suffering more broken parts than my G1 shelf, already Bumblebee's lost an arm, Swindle cracked a knee, and Shockwave's knee cracked >6 months after purchase. I'm afraid to transform any of the others.
>>6092714
Or yknow, it could just be hamhands since I too have had all of those since release and not one has broken
I'll give you a pass on Swindle since all of his joints are clear plastic
>>6092712
You can literally tell that this was made by someone from the Allspark or TFW.
>>6092735
I've got tiny lady-hands, poor Bumblebee and Shockwave broke with barely a touch, and the part of Swindle that broke wasn't even the clear plastic but the black in the knee.
I transform my toys more than once a year though, so I might be wearing them a bit faster than some anons.
>>6092478
nearly accurate quote. props.
>>6092740
You can still hamhand something with little hands.
>>6092514
A thousand times this. Also, die cast is less receptive to paint without proper treatment, so chipping and flaking is much more likely than with plastic.
>>6092514
Hello Subjectanon. Didn't know you went in Transformers threads.
>>6092746
I guess I've gone my life with an incorrect definition of hamhands then, I always thought it meant breaking something through lack of finesse with large adult hands, like hams. In any case, the only other TFs I've had break on me over the years have done so mostly through fall-damage, only those couple animated figs had parts start disintegrating in my hands, well them and TR Wolfwire's cockpit hinge.
>>6092757
>I always thought it meant breaking something through lack of finess
Correct
>with large adult hands, like hams
While stereotypically the culprit it is not exclusive to any set of hands
>TR Wolfwire's cockpit hinge
This one is caused not so much by brute force but incorrect useage, you're meant to open the chest panel and slide that section out from there, this reduces the stress
>>6092714
>I would've assumed it was a petition to finish/release the canceled toys
But that IS what the petition's for
Alright /tfg...

Computron. UW Devy is a waste of time and money.
>>6092779
Yes
I don't think I'll ever get an MP because for the same price I could get the entirety of the next wave of TR from retail.
>>6092789
Too bad TR will end.
I wish it could continue and get a budget increase for paint.

This mold was a real surprise when I first got it, definitely the best of the TMs I think.
>>6092507
Snip some pieces of felt for under his feet. I did.
>>6092804
Which is sad because he's still weak as shit in any mode but T-rex. I suppose Dragon isn't the worst, but his gun mode is awful.
>>6092814
I like the dragon mode, if only because it's not clearly just the dinosaur mode flipped around like some of the other TM vehicles,. If you didn't know what it turned into, the second mode isn't immediately apparent and I love that. Agree on the gun mode though, I tend to ignore all the gun modes of this line and even the little guys who came with the Generation scouts a couple years ago.
>>6092801
Have they fixed the thing about the handle piece not plugging in flush?
>>6092789
>I don't think I'll ever get an MP
You've never owned one? I'm not trying to talk shit about retail stuff, like it's below me or anything, but MPs are pretty fucking stellar. The good ones, anyway. I'd say one of them is easily worth an entire wave of retail stuff, simply due to the increased quality, paint apps, engineering and posability.
If you have a favorite character that has an MP, I'd probably recommend it to you. As long as it's not Shockwave, his MP was kind of disappointing.
>>6092820
>I tend to ignore all the gun modes of this line and even the little guys who came with the Generation scouts a couple years ago.
I actually think some of those managed pretty decent gun modes. Payload, Flanker and Roller were solid. Chop Shop in particular was great. His bot and beetle modes were spot on, and he formed both a bladed shield weapon for Megatron, and a battering ram/cow catch for his tank mode. I was sad to see they didn't keep making them.

I'm not the one who likes Classics Prime. Nice projection either way, TFW cuck.
Is it just me but does anyone else think that Headmasters should have become the standard for Transformers a long time ago? I picked up Highbrow and Hardhead today and the headmaster minifigs themselves add so much playability, like yeah I love the figures because of how deliciously G1 and angular they are but as toys they just have so much playability compared to other TF figures.
You don't just have a helicopter and a tank but you have little dudes to drive them and little seats for other dudes so they can all team up, it's great. As toys they are genuinely better.
Ah who am I kidding, children don't play with toys anymore ...
>>6092928
Nice reversal you dickless shitbag!
Go back to TFW and stop shilling your classics prime here you niggersucking bitch! Classics Prime is shit! Live with it you cucklord!
>>6092932
It's all fun and games until you lose them heads.
>>6092932
I kind of agree, Titan Masters add a lot of play value. I'm assuming Hasbro was afraid that Transformers might be perceived as being piloted mecha, and the gimmick isn't very compatible with "realistic" beast mode Transformers (as opposed to "unrealistic" ones like the Decepticon Headmaster trio). I'd be very happy if Titan Masters and Combiners using the Prime Wars engineering show up in future lines now and then.
>>6092932
I'd like to see the Transformer with smaller figure trend continue, just without it all being Headmasters, They could expand into targetmasters (though they probably wouldn't be able to sit in most figures) and Powermaster, or even plain ol' human characters, how cool would it be to have a classics Spike figure? or G.B Blackrock?
>>6092932
I'm fine with little guys becoming guns and armor and add ons but actual parts of the robot I'm not a fan of unless it's extra like Armada Sideways where he has a normal head as well as the combiner head
>>6092855
What's wrong with Classics Prime?
>>6092952
He's outdated and has kibble and people are pissed that not a single decent voyager sized prime for the CHUG line has been released since 2006.
He also has been repainted one too many times.
>>6092932
Combiner Wars was great too. Too bad no one ever figured out the perfect hands and feet, whether official or turd party.
>>6092958
Oh look at the libcuck doing a goddamn reversal. Yeah faggot that's right your favorite precious classics prime is shit.

Shouldn't you be busy shilling Classics Prime, TFW? Or have you finally given up on that.
>>6092932
Yah. I never owned any Headmasters as a kid. I really enjoy the concept now. I don't think EVERY figure should be a headmaster, because that makes it feel less special, but having little dudes to drive the alt. modes is fuck as fuck, and the interchangeability is pretty sweet.
>>6092971
At least they didn't charge you two times as much for the toy for a slight variation in paint, like Takara does.
Every time someone mentions classics prime in a thread it instantly gets derailed into calling each other names and shit like that.
Can we, for fucks sake, agree that the mold is already too old and that Jewsbro should release a new voyager mold that's actually representative of the character?
It's not that hard, I actually want to discuss other toys that aren't classics prime.
>>6092981
Takara sucks.
Combiner Wars could have been awesome if they included the beast and monster combiners.
Repainted jets and cars got old quickly.
The 3P combiners are also stupid as fuck and full of greebles.
Being a combiner fan is suffering.

Which voyager prime is better?

>we never had a better voyager since that one.
That's all I wanted to hear m8. Literally 10 years of tooling primes and catering to tie-ins and gimmicks and Classics prime is still the best one.
This is why it's wrong to say 'it's shit' because it isn't. It's just outdated at this point but fuck, it's been 10 years.
>>6093011
It's an exclusive forum to talk about transformers.
Thing is they love classics prime since 2006 and won't hesitate to praise it like if it was the best toy ever made when it's just your average henkei chunk of plastic.
I mean, it's not bad. Just outdated engineering and HE HAS NO STYLE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBfNaovmhHA

>Is it just me but does anyone else think that Headmasters should have become the standard for Transformers a long time ago?
Fuck no.
It's an interesting gimmick for a small section of characters but making EVERYONE a headmaster and shitting on the head silhouette and forcing partsforming is exactly why I'm starting to hate this line and want them to just move on to the next thing.
I can't look at Astrotrain or Galvatron or Scourge and go "yeah making the head a partsforming thing with no paint that comes off totally made this figure better"
>>6093016
>>6093019
Okay I guess that explains it. Honestly I was deciding between him and the Combiner Wars Optimus but I really liked the proportions and truck design more on Classics. I do dig Combiner Wars' simpler transformation and beefy look though. He looks imposing.
>>6093021

If you like the mold then get Motormaster, like it was intended to.
CW op is just another cheap repaint.
>>6093014

>>6093023
Is $$ a problem? CW Optimus Prime is quite expensive now that it's past its clearance phase. Meanwhile that shelfwarming Classics Optimus vs Megs set is starting to go on clearance. Either way you might want to wait it out.
>>6093014
Henkei Optimus is the best CHUG Optimus.
>>6093027
I might get Motormaster then. I could use a Decepticon to go with Optimus and I thought he was cool in Transformers Devastation.

>>6093192
Will the MP line ever tackle something as big as this? He's 22-24 inches at the head and 460 dollars in NA.
I'd like to hope that I will eventually get an MP Trypticon but I don't know if they'll try to push a 400+ dollar figure.

The best thing about Henkei Prime is that there are also multiple 3P trailers for it. You can't say this about any other CHUG Prime toy.
>>6093299
Leader class is just a name. Prime isn't the biggest Autobot. Jetfire is bigger than him, so are the Dinobots. Prime is Voyager size.
