Damn, Fangry looks impossible to paint. I'd probably be able to paint the grill on his mouth but the eye section is microscopic. I'd have to somehow paint the eyes red, and a section of the face vanilla.

>>6130224
Takara might do it at some point, they certainly were interested in the idea.
>>
>>6130225

You could paint it, you just need a modelling brush and a good hand. But it also totally would not be worth it, because any detail on a TM is probably going to get wiped away due to transformation or socketing the head into a 'bot.

Barry became a huge fan favorite after surviving TF1 by having toys and appearances in games and comics despite it. Practically a stealth legacy character in tier with Bee.

Crosshairs is a new guy. Drift has a higher chance of dying because of his VA but still I hope he has a new better toy this year.

He had an older toy that was way better and came with a ton of stuff, can't remember what it was from, but the leader is just terrible:

-Transformation is a joke
-Lacks his iconic weapons
-Leg articulation is awful

He's just not worth it when a better toy existed and was cheaper. The only cool thing the leader has was a knife that you could store in a leg.

>>6130318
Agreed. The overall colors aren't bad, but not only is it really expensive to import it, the way they applied the paint was too accurate to the show model, leaving sections that needed paint, without (the sections of the face, the grey on the horns, painting the section that used to have the pop up guns instead of highlighting sections of the arm in red, etc...)
>>
Alright, the gun modes on these things is really bad. But otherwise, pretty fun all around.

>carnivac from weirdwolf
>crosshairs from kup
>misfire from topspin
>arcee from blurr
>legends moonracer from wheelie
>steeljaw from stripes/ravage

From the last thread

>>6129762

Is thia Hasbro or Takara? And whose version is better for all the CW deluxes, assuming they can still all function together as combiners. Def getting the Tak Nosecone over the US one.

>>6130299
I own Super Ginrai, Computron, Blackarachnia, and Slipstream. That's it.

What do you mean? Like which companies have the better CW figure decos/tooling?
>>
>>6130440
That's Takara's.
>And whose version is better for all the CW deluxes
Sky reign or in general? It's all over the place in general. Basically it's a question of money and what looks best to you because they both had the same level of QC issues

Not even the paint apps, man.

The legs are glued shut so you can't do fan modes and expand playability. Shit sucks. I love the aesthetic of the takara but that just kills it for me. The fan base mode looks better.

So, I made a paper helmet for my LG Galvatron.

Does anyone know what color of Tamiya spray that is closely to the Galvatron's color?

Persaonlly i got no idea what color the LG Gal is supposed to be. Light blue? Light purple? US navy intermediate blue?

That's because Overboard is meant to serve as the alternate head for Leader Soundwave.

Not even close. He's to glossy to SW and way to small.

Actually all we know about the transformers biology is that they appear mechanical. We never see their insides except for brief glimpses and they did seem to bleed a few times in DOTM. Idk I always liked to picture the Transformers as Biomechanical leaning HEAVY on the mechanical part, but maybe they have fleshy insides and brains and stuff.

One of the drafts for Dark of the Moon involved Megatron's offer to rebuild Cybertron off-world together being completely legitimate, so the Cybertronians on Earth build a proper rocket to fuck off in together.

Holy shit that'd be great actually. I was always a bit sympathetic for Sideways and Demolisher getting their shit pushed in at the start of Rotf, it seemed like they were just hiding out not hurting anything, the toy bio for Demolisher even stated that he'd taken several weaker cons under his protection while they just tried to stay alive with NEST hunting them. The first thing Sideways tries to do is get the hell away, only to get henpecked and quipped to death by non-characters.

I kind of feel like the movie decepticons failed as villains for me. They ended up more sympathetic than the autobots or humans. Pretty much all of DotM was just Megs and co trying to survive and getting fucked up because someone had to.

Little bit of crosspost from /co/.

"Dick Gautier has passed at the age of 85. This was originally reported by Neil Kaplin via Facebook and then later confirmed by his wife, Tess Hightower. Dick was known for his incredible voice acting in the third season of the The Transformers animated cartoon, most famously known for taking on the voice of Rodimus Prime after Judd Nelson left the role. Some of his other work includes Serpentor in the G.I. Joe series and Spike the Dog from Tom and Jerry. "

Issues aside, it's a damn good looking figure and Id have one by now if they weren't so expensive. they just need to get the chest to tab in better, fix the breakage issue on his legs and mold the spoiler in yellow without painting it so there's nothing to scrape off by putting him in winnebago mode.

There is a chance he will be ok, that is a cmall mass of rubber much like the minibots and usually rubber smaller than a nickle in circumference and over all mass holds up fine.

Given they re-did Hotrod as just Hotrod rather than trying to make a space winnebego that turns into car concept that turns into robot, I'd prefer a wholly new figure be made than an old one be updated slightly.

They'd need to alter more than that. She'd end up with beefy arms and legs, and that's assuming the torso is retooled so the shield section ends up becoming the chest.

Might as well make a new character, or alte a few parts to make a new Cybertron Overdrive.

EYEBALLS.jpg
625KB, 1032x1740px
I got nonnef's replacement eyes for Soundwave and Optimus today and I definitely like the results. I no longer have to look at Optimus' cold soulless dead eyes and I no longer have to look at Soundwave's cheap thin plastic that clearly shows mold marks that make him look like he has two lazy eyes.

I found it interesting how the eyes are designed, though. It's clear plastic on top of a chrome backing (Soundwave has a seperate chrome piece while Optimus' eyepiece has a coat of chrome on its back) which obviously intended to create a mirror effect on the eyes to reflect light make them look shinier. While this effect worked relatively well on Soundwave, the chrome backing on Optimus' eyepiece is just set too far back and no light ever reached it, so the effect completely fails and he got dark eyes as a result.

The quality of the parts from nonnef was pretty good too. There's some little marks from the molding process and bits of flash still hanging on to them, but they definitely made sure that the areas of the part that are meant to be visible were perfectly clean and polished up.

My only complaint is I think the shade of blue for Optimus' eyes is slightly too bright compared to the sky blue color officially used on transformers, but it doesn't look bad and it certainly looks better than before.

And now with Megs they're doubling down on show design to the max.

nb4 MP Devy the size of Soundwave, complete with off-kilter sculpting to account for animators not drawing shit straight.

Nonnef's does good on little stuff. I got his feet for Hardhead and they're really nice. I definitely like having ankle joints for him. >>6131718

How would you feel about a gigantic combiner with Leader class limbs and a Titan class torso?
>>
>>6131499
>they re-did Hotrod as just Hotrod
i never understood why they did this
>>
>>6131732
I kind of want to say they're focusing so much on MP36's show accuracy because of how badly MP05 suffered from its gun accuracy. And if that's the case then I don't blame them, aint nobody ever looked at MP05 and went "wow this is exactly how I remembered Megatron!"

I still hope they do a gun-accurate deco with the clean decepticon logo for him though. I mean they're gonna have to repaint that mold into something.
>>
>>6131740
I thought about getting those too, but I only really get upgrade parts if I feel they're really necessary.
>>
>>6131744

Probably because MP Hotrodimus was pretty shitty all around and they could likely make more money by selling two different ones later down the line.

Also it'd probably just turn out to be a better figure overall by being 2 seperate figures than trying to make one go from concept car to space winnebego.

Man I hope the leak about a leader class Deathsaurus is true.
>>
>>6131806
I hope Predaking ends up being true, since it means they'll eventually release Piranacon... oh who am I kidding, they'll ignore him and Monstructor since they weren't on tv, and did nothing in the comics.
>>
>>6131824
Monstructor's been the comics a fair bit, so there's a chance. I just want terrorcons.
>>
>>6131806
Power of the Primes practically confirms this.
>>
>>6131824
I just want my damn Abominus

Hey! Piranacon did stuff in the comics! he got his ass beat up by Galvatron!
>>
>>6131830
I'd buy him as Dinoking.

>>6131839
They also were the main foder on Masterforce, we already got most of the dudes who keept kicking they asses.
>>
>>6131839
UK, right? In America, the seacons show up to die like 3 issues later.
>>
If we get Predaking and Abominus, I'm sure we'll get at least Monstructor and Piranacon, too. Gotta milk those molds.
>>
>>6131833

The third party one (Ordin I think?) is decent if you really want to scratch the itch, but several of them are kind of weak individually, and it's way bigger than the official combiner stuff. The Hun-Grr was actually one of my favorite third party toys of the past couple years, it's a shame he's a bit large, and the rest of the set is a little weak.

I'd love to see the third party companies focus a bit more on doing things that compliment official collections, like do the Seacons, Predacons, and Terrorcons that look and feel like good, "lost" Combiner Wars sets.
>>
>>6131862
Yeah, but I really doubt they'll make them before Hasbro does.

Minerva has a better shot since Hasbro will never make her, so there's no reason for them to wait.
>>
>>6131872
I'll never understand the obsession of Third Parties with overly complicated and frail engineering.
As much shit as Combiner Wars got for its designs, G1 combiners were some of the simplest toys of the line so it made sense that they would get simple figures for their modern upgrades. Then you see 3P combiners and they have a thousand teeny pieces that pop out and fall apart.

I wouldn't mind paying like 60 each for a good, durable 3P combiner team that looks stunning in combined mode if each member didn't feel like it's going to explode when it's being transformed.
>>
>>6131895
>Then you see 3P combiners and they have a thousand teeny pieces that pop out and fall apart.

The thing with 3P's and combiners is a lot of them-The vast majority of them-Are shit. Quite a few of them were also among the first "big" 3P releases to boot, before companies started getting their shit together and before the shittier companies were known.

Generally, the most solid combiners on the market are GT's Not-Devastator, MMC's Not-Predaking, and TFC's Not-Seacons (who only have 2 members left for release, and unless those last 2 completely shit the bed in every way, it'll be a good combiner).

All of the rest range from "meh" to "raw shit sizzling on a hot summer day".

Combiners in general are pretty ambitious projects, and any given part failing can make the whole thing turn out shitty.
>>
>>6131895
TFC Poseidon and Maketoys Quantron are both good 3p combiners. Poseidon is pretty fuckin pricey though.

Heard good things about Toyworld Devy too but never touched it so idk.

I'm always for intricate engineering and details on toys, but combiners need to be able to...
>stay absolutely rock solid in combiner mode
>support a lot of weight, especially the legs
>have enough tensile strength to not fall apart, really important for the torso
>be able to survive falling over without fucking exploding

You can't do all that and be an intricately engineered toy with delicate parts. Shit needs to be chunky and solid. And it's not like you can't have a creative and good looking toy loaded with details, I'm not saying 3Ps should be simplifying their combiners as much as official combiners are simple, but function really should take priority over form here.

Quantron is the only 3P combiner I'd get if it didn't meant my Computron would be horrible out of place with the rest of my Scramble City guys.
>>
>>6131951
he certainly has an older CHUG style than the stuff coming out lately which is much closer to the original G1 style.
>>
>>6131947
How solid is Maketoy's Devastator, on that note?
>>
>>6131493
Yeah can we get a source from this?

His ass.

Why does TR Triggethappy's chest open

No reason?

Please be real

>>6131951
How many 3P combiners can scramble?
That's the gimmick I like the most on the Scramble City combiners but it seems most of 3P only cares about the official configuration.

>>6131996
Titanmaster cockpit

>>6132011

In what mode? In the heli mode, there's an actual titanmaster cockpit and in bot mode, it's the head..
>>
>>6132015
>heli
Do you mean Highbrow? The answer is no reason.
>>
>>6132015
>>6132022
The Marvel comic design had his chest like that for some reason.
>>
>>6132010
Well the issue with scrambling is that it often compromises the figures in some way (look at combiner wars) The first really good scramble capable one out so far is TFC poseidon, which isn't finished yet so who really knows how the end result will be.
>>
>>6131972
no clue, don't own it. Ask 3p general. I have heard the set, while solid, feels really dated compared to what is available.
>>
>>6132010
Between each other? None, but if you mean within the same combiner? FP Intimidator and TFC Poseidon are the only two that come o mind.
>>
>>6132075
Quantron and Gaurdia can scramble their arms between eachother.
>>
>>6132025
So does his Headmasters design.
>>
>>6131050
make all the Action Masters that didn't have transforming toys transforming toys.
>>
>>6132116
As long as they at least resemble the alt modes their bodies hinted at.

I'd love a new Mainframe, and Skyfall.
>>
>>6131493
>TF5 Legion Combiner Bruticus vs Dinobot Slug
How the fuck is this gonna work? I'm curious purely due to the idea of tiny Bruticus.
>>
>>6132070
>the issue with scrambling is that it often compromises the figures in some way
But you only need all vehicle modes to be solid and have a core body of the same lenght so they can work as the calves, and then you can do whatever about the arms if you are autistic enough to avoid using the robots' legs for arm articulation.
>>
>>6132133
and use Arms Microns for their weapons.
>>
>>6132089
Neat, too bad it's not true scrambling tho being that they can only swap one type of limb
>>
Has sixshot been found at us retail yet? I've seen a few conflicting reports. Also I think I r ember someone posting a TR leader sixshot upgrade kit with articulated hands does any know what it's called?

In an ideal world hell yes, I need me a Treadshot/Gutcruncher team in Generations, and a Mainframe would be nice too even if he just becomes a box with a screen or whatever.
I'd honestly buy GI-joe style action masters though, they'd be dirt cheap to produce and buy and we could get so many characters done in a short space of time. Shame we'll never see it.
