ALIENS.

ON RIGHT, ALIEN DESIGNED MORPHEDTOGETHER ROBOT MAN

I feel like this is far worse than what's happened with Transformers.

Say what you will about the designs of the Bayformers, but at least the toys were, for the most part, good representations of the on-screen version and actually transformed.

Maybe the Power Rangers sequel will have better toys the same way the quality shifted between the first Transformers and Revenge of the Fallen. Doubtful, but I need to have some glimmer of hope.

I just wish they put more effort into making a proper transforming Megazord.

Giant combining robot anime exist that predate Voltron, so Voltron itself is a ripoff.

>>6157622

Golion was the first with an asymmetric appearance and the first where all the components have basically the same mode.

But yeah, combining goes all the way back to Getter Robo, at least.

>>6151051
Why the fuck did they change the configuration? I can understand (but disagree) with the redesign but why the fuck is the mastodon a leg and the sabertooth tiger the crotch?

>>6157651
Oh, well then, I guess you'd have to call it an improvement on the original concept it copied.

Like maybe making multiple robots with completely unique, yet themed designs combining to form one uniform robot. As oppose to 3 unique designs with two that are just repaints.

No. God Sigma is also asymmetrical, the components have the same mode (they are all humanoid robots) and also did the blue and yellow legs, black torso and V red wings before Voltron.

I'd agree with you right up until Movie 4, and it shows on the toys when the engineers can't figure out how to transform them because it's impossible to tell.

That's possible, but the idea of using a robotic lion as a giant robot component was first used in Daltanious nonetheless.

Like in most cases the concept was influenced by several prior works, but if we talk about the robot design itself it's clearly very influenced by God Sigma. The overall resemblances in shapes and colors are uncanny.

>>6158085

They made them longer so they are more screen accurate in dino mode. Them showing in robot mode as sides of the torso don't retract from the looks in any way in my opinion, the waist would look too thin without them.

In fact, they were painted in the actual suit waist. They based this on the toy mostly, but the T-Rex arms being longer and showing in robot mode seem to be a nod to the show props.

>>6158087

I'm all for show accuracy, but the only exception are sentai robots. Even as a kid I always though that the toys had the "canon" proportions and the costumes in the show were just a compromise because they needed to have a dude inside moving them.

There's also the fact that the transformation sequences in the show always use the toy proportions because they wouldn't really work otherwise, and after the combination is finished then they obviously change the props to a guy in a suit with completely wrong proportions if the thing actually transformed.

It was even funnier when the guy in the suit had to wear a grey glove and use his actual hand to hold the sword, resulting in one hand being double the size of the other. It was so obvious that even as an eight years old kid I noticed instantly.

>>6157766
Yeah, I was mainly talking about Revenge of the Fallen and some of the first and third movie. I don't think I got a single toy from Age of Extinction outside of the dinobots.

>>6157771
The legacy line is very well done. The main show toys are bad compared to the sentai versions, but they're still far better than what was done for the movie toys.

>>6158078

This is perfection except the elbows are going to be a little weird looking

>>6157771
The Legacy weapons are pretty amazing, only thing that they could improve on would be adding display stands.

I wish BoJ's Tamashii Lab line would start making weapons for more main stream series. Why they went for the Supergun and Gavens sword for the first two releases is beyond me, that shit is going to shelfwarm hard.

It's truly baffling that a toy made in 2017 looks far cheaper and tackier than one made nearly 30 years earlier.

I think the new megazord toy is garbage. I dont mind the new designs, irealizr its supposed to be a reimagining of the series with an "alien" aestetic. But my issue is that the new megazord is a klunky expensive partsformer with large hollow plasric peices.
But you know what? Why are we complaining? We got the legacy megazord a few years ago. We got the SRC which can still be had for reasonable prices. And we are also getting the soul of chogokin, a big chow accurate transforming metal megazord with articulation. And best of all, Super mini pla. Model kits of posable zords that turn into a posable robot. And seeing as its sold out everywhere TWICE, im assuming that we will get the dragonzord and titanus later. So chill guys.

>>6159102

Yeah the design is one thing but when you see these in the store and examine them they seem more like beach toys than any kind of serious attempt at a Megazord.

For royalties reasons every licensed cash-cow that goes through the Hollywood machine has to be rendered visually distinct enough to make it become the Intellectual Property of the production company. That way Bandai or Hasbro or Mattel or whoever can't sell movie merch later on without the producers getting a cut of the pie.

In order to do that they work with established Hollywood artists who, like the screenwriters and directors, often think excessively high of themselves and are more concerned with "using creative license" and "making it their own" than they are with actually giving the established fanbase what they want.

Sometimes it works out okay, other times you get iguana 'Zilla.

>>6159102

>>6158075
>inferior to the original toy in like every way except diecast.
The diecast is the worst thing about it. The prototype looks great, but the final product has shiny metal bits juxtaposed against dull grey plastic. Looks terrible. It's an improvement over the original in proportions though. I hate how much of a brick the original looks like, and I hate that the SoC is going for the same brick proportions instead of making it resemble what was seen on screen.

>>6160133
>instead of making it resemble what was seen on screen.

Kek, that thing was even more of a fucking brick! Would a show accurate Megazord come with a super tiny human hand in a glove for sword poses? MUH SHOW ACCURACY.

Glad they AREN'T doing something like this, the individual zords would look like shiiiit.

>>6160145
I'm curious how many who care for screen accuracy have the female yellow ranger and not the male one instead.

>>6160148
I have the female figuarts, but I keep meaning to buy a male one. But I'm also fucking stupid and wanted to buy a whole second ranger team to represent all the cast changes by late season 3 (Rocky, Adam, Aisha,and Katherine). Then the prices started shooting up.

>>6160133
>It's an improvement over the original in proportions though

Having the knees of the tyrannosaurus showing awkwardly to make the legs longer is not really a good solution nor it does resemble what was on screen.


>I hate that the SoC is going for the same brick proportions instead of making it resemble what was seen on screen

But the proportions of the original toy and SoC are accurate to the transformation sequences from that very same show. You know, because the thing has to actually transform. Good luck trying to make that ridiculously proportioned suit a working transforming toy, let's see how do you store that huge ass robot head without resulting into a Barney-looking tyrannosaurus or how the arms can form the body of the mastodon when the back of the Megazord isn't wide enough for them to rotate and get side to side. Not even the heads on the feet look accurate to how they look when separated into the individual zords, for fucks sake.

It's pretty obvious to me that they look the way they do because they had to take into account the guy that must move inside of the costume, not because they wanted it to look like that in the first place. The actual artbooks are proof of that. I understand people wanting things to be show accurate, but in the case of sentai robots that must transform it makes zero sense.


As someone who owns the original toy for over 22 years and has always seen it as the actual canon proportions, the SoC is a dream come true. Way more badass looking than the suit.

>>6158075
>I mean, it already went wrong with the first Legacy Megazord, which is inferior to the original toy in like every way except diecast.

Yeah nah. The original toy was great as a kid, but it looks pretty ugly with that gross gray plastic and the ugly stickers (If you collect the MMPR versions). I'm glad the Legacy releases went with either metallic paint or diecast instead.

Though it does suck that they started the line with the 2010 mold instead of making a brand new one.

>>6160303
>>6160133

But the Legacy has tiny legs and the detail and quality of the zords themselves is really cheap.

Masterpiece Transformers are able to make the bot modes look like the cartoon despite the toon taking huge liberties. It can be done. The reason shit like the OG Megazord looks off model is because the toys are made first, and turning a toy into a usable suit doesn't always translate well. Since Bandai America's legacy line is made after the fact they're able to get much closer to the show suits than the original toys.

>>6158043
>walk the Earth for 170 million years

That's an awful long time to stomp around before realizing you're not meant for this world.

>>6160833
Your pic proves that it can't be done, though. The Legacy is closer to the show proportions but the chest is still too wide and the head isn't big enough. The proportions of the suit make no sense when compared to how the separate mechs should look.

>>6161748

>>6160833
>Masterpiece Transformers are able to make the bot modes look like the cartoon despite the toon taking huge liberties.

Yeah, because in G1 and Beast Wars the characters transformed using animation magic, they never tried to make complete sense of the process in the show, so the designers of the Masterpieces have way more freedom to change the transformation of the original toy whatever they see fit to try to get as close as possible to the show designs. Sentai robots have very specific transformation and combination sequences, there isn't that much room to improve their looks other than little touches.


>The reason shit like the OG Megazord looks off model is because the toys are made first, and turning a toy into a usable suit doesn't always translate well.

And translating a usable suit into a transformable toy that looks completely accurate to that suit proportions in robot mode and is also accurate as separate mechs is fucking impossible unless you cheat with removable pieces.

>>6151051

Seriously, Legacy Shogun Megazord when?

>>6151051
Wasn't it the fault of chinese designers creating a cesspit of incestuous sensibilities?

>>6151051
The new design is starting to grow on me. I think it would have worked well as an evil zord instead of the heroic zord, though.

>>6161886
No one's saying they expect complete accuracy, but Bandai can get close. Legacy Red Dragon and Thunder Megazord are much closer to the suits than the original toys, and those are probably more difficult ones to pull off given the way they transform.

The 2010 Megazord mold already has more suitlike proportions then the original toy, so if it were ever revisited and given the proper legacy treatment I have to imagine they could get pretty damn close. Bandai Japan didn't even try with the SoC, they just straight up based it on the old toy.

Not really. It look like the old toy with long, innacurately shaped thighs. The head is still way too small, the shoulders too wide and the lower legs too long compared to the suit. And they also managed to place the kneecaps on the shins and fuck up the proportions of the suit even more, pic related.


>Bandai Japan didn't even try with the SoC, they just straight up based it on the old toy.

Good, that way it looks like the actual robot the designers of the show envisioned and not like the guy inside a pile of boxes they had no other chance to go with.

>>6162469
>Good, that way it looks like the actual robot the designers of the show envisioned
I do recall reading that they brought back the original designers and as such they can now do the things they couldn't before due to technology/cost.
As such the SoC should be the ultimate 'canon' design.

>>6162672
>I just can't fathom how someone can find left cooler than right.

It's not about being cool or not, there isn't anything to wrong with wanting something to be screen accurate. It was the one on the left which was beating up giant monsters, not the one on the right.

It's the same with the SHF vs Ultra-act Ultraman, ones based of the suit and the other one had more hero based proportions.

Let's be honest here, how cool would it be if someone could engineer the toy to have functioning Zoids that combine to make a screen accurate Megazord.

>Proabbly because they explicitely don't want these zords to look manmade, they want them to look alien.

When you're looking at earth animals as reference to create robots it doesn't matter if the machines are alien or human in origin, they should look closer to the freaking thing they're supposed to be. Otherwise there's no fucking point in basing the designs on those animals in the first place.

The movie designs are just based on the stupid Hollywood trend that giant robots should look like clusterfucks because that way look more "sophisticated and realistic" when actually it's just the opposite. There's a middle point between too simple and overdesigned designs, but they are just unable to understand that.

Besides the unneeded extra limbs on Triceratops and Mastodon, I don't see how these designs are clusterfucky at all. I know the knee-jerk reaction is to compare them to Bayformers, but they're a far cry from even the Bayformer beast formers, which are so loaded up with parts they're constantly shaking as they move. Granted, I don't think these designs are any good, but I think lumping them into one category seems reactionary.

>>6165495
Well considering they are different forms entirely, you have to pick one. Unless they decide to do one in the shape of the worn costume alongside the current one that transforms.

>>6165633
People have no real ability to voice their complaints, or just like to bandwagon.

Some of the same people praising Pacific Rim nowadays back then were bitching about them being "Bayformers".

>>6165633
>Besides the unneeded extra limbs on Triceratops and Mastodon
Eh, this IS my biggest complaint when it comes to the individual zords, them being teched out with Guns was in the original series and the alien biotech look actually does work better with machines based on living creatures...

The problems arise with the combined Megazord; Only the one made out of the individual Zord toys LOOKS like it was formed out of the constituent parts.
I mean, why have a combining robot at all if you can't even tell it's a combination?

>>6165261
>giving them an industrial feeling because mechas are not allowed to be fun in the West
Probably explains a lot about their designs in that case. Pushing them a bit further out and adding a bit more color to the movie probably would have done wonders. Came off grimdark and dull at times instead.

Got that GIANT Megazord today thanks to a sale.

So, what do I think? Have TlDr in 3 parts, The bad, the neutral, and the good.

Bad:
-- Feel cheap and hollow all over.
-- The torso don't snap that well together, leaving a gap in the middle.
-- It don't have any solid heels and it depend on holding weapons for equilibrium.

Neutral:
-- Paint aplication may be disapointing, but is plenty suficient.
-- Overall quality is good enough for the price. Especially for the 130$CAN I paid, including taxes.
-- Partforming festival, but eh, what did you expect?

Good:
-- I LOVE that overall design. The magazord is GLORIOUS.
-- The individual alien looking zords are very nice and fun, despite being bricks.
-- The inclusion of all five rangers and a monster in scale is a nice toutch. Love the cockpits too.


Final word. Do I recommend him? If you are a fan of Power Rangers and love megazords, go for it. But only on sale because the original 150$CAN price PLUS taxes is WAY too high. But on sale, it's a solid purchase.

>>6161886
>Sentai robots have very specific transformation and combination sequences, there isn't that much room to improve their looks other than little touches.

It's probably not as hard as what the MP Transformers have to do.

Sentai transformations might be specific, but they're also "possible". In the sense that the suits have to resemble the toys anyway.

A lot of it boils down to proportions in robot mode and budget for the joints. MP Transformers level budget and engineering can theoretically be applied for Sentai mecha. MP Starsaber's probably the best example on the Transformers side of what you can do when the mecha's designed to be "possible" in the first place. Or Voltron/Golion is probably an even better example of what Megazords could be.

still doesn't count as an excuse for being bricks, let alone "show accurate". i mean, forget transformers, even the minipla version of the megazords / gattai robo is more poseable than the DX version, even though much smaller in size. this level of engineering should have been easy for DX size bots.

>>6178809
That post you're quoting isabout accuracy and propotions, not articulation.

>>6178820
i know.

i just wanna rant, buddy. vent out all the frustrations of today.

>>6178777
Not that guy, but for me... It's very hard to find any positives in the technical nature.

It's nice that the pterodactyl has cockpit detailing and I appreciate that there's storage on the Megazord itself for all the individual weapons.

I want zoids to be a thing again so badly.
I think it really could work as a big live action thing.
Or even another anime series.
Pls

>>6182463
This. I would adore more Zoids media

Zoids is like Gundam but with more visually interesting and varied giant robots.

>>6157766
The problem with the third movie was that the movie designs were put ahead of the toy designs. Those complex transformations simply cannot be replicated by a 20 dollar toy or even a 50 dollar one

>>6151067
Fuck it, I'm gonna say it.
I like the new design, the toy is kinda dumb but the size is just amazing. Shame it's 150 bucks

Exposed.
It's still around 30 bucks more expensive than a sentai mech

Our local Wal-mart has already dumped the entire line of movie voltron stuff in the clearance section. THE ENTIRE LINE.
That's how hard it's shelfwarming.

>>6183283
I'm not arguing that at all. I managed to get mine for $85 and even then that's horribly overpriced for what you get.

Shit should have been a much smaller toy like it appears it was intended to be.

It's been more than 10 years since Genesis, hasn't it?

It's amazing how their 1999 CG still holds up today. Zoids should be seen more as the landmark that it was.

But, yeah, that MOBA is a joke that got my hopes up.

>>6157822
>That's possible, but the idea of using a robotic lion as a giant robot component was first used in Daltanious nonetheless.
indeed that's why Go Lion was used for Voltron, the people making Voltron originally wanted Daltanious and were sent tapes of Go-Lion by mistake, they ended up liking Go-Lion enough to use it instead in the final product

>>6184395

Dude, have you even SEEN the new Voltron?

Shit I meant Movie Power Rangers but I was real high and thinking about Voltron.
All the MMPR movie shit is still in the clearance aisle collecting dust.

Did the movie ever come out?

And as for Voltron, I assure you all of their shelves are quite cold with nothing to warm them.

>>6187314
Really? All that's sell near me is the legendary lions, the ones that combine and the big deluxe Voltron. The basic non-combining figures and the roleplay gear aren't going anywhere.

>>6187321
Yeah, role-play gear is a slow mover, too. The smaller figures sell when there's nothing else.

You do realize that the show had multiple sculpts for the beasts to serve different purposes right?

You're not ever gonna get toys that magically change proportions and scale for every form just to suit your impossible request. The closest they could ever get is adding a whole, and I mean a WHOLE, lot of shifting parts and pieces that will make the beasts and their modes look like retarded, cut up messes.

Sometimes you just have deal with the fact "movie magic" means you'll never get one toy that does it all while looking the part. Do what the show runners did with their propa and costumes and get multiple toys to fulfill individual purposes to their fullest.

>>6151091
>and stupid millennials

You mean the people who grew up with the show and were actual kids when it came out? Because those people count as millennials you dumb fuck. Learn to form an actual argument rather than rattle your saber at the younger generation.

Also is this a fanbase more autistic than Power Rangers? I swear y'all are never fucking happy ever.

>Wah the Figuarts don't all have blasters which does suck but not worth shitting your pants and not buying the figures over
>Wah the SoC isn't fucking magic and isn't perfectly proportional to the suit in the show and is more based on the Zord props that had to transform. I don't understand physics!

>>6188496
The figuarts were a valid criticism. We're talking about $40+ figures, and Red had already previously come with everything.

Wow! Really? You are saying that the 5 Zord props didn't turn into the suit the actor wore!?

Damn, mind fucking blown.

How did we go from three new releases and a repaint to nothing but a replaint planned? If we're lucky we'll get Shogun in the fall, but that's still a big step backwards from last year.

>>6201320
Legacy Zeo figures are coming this year. It's possible we get Shogun and Zeo Megazord later in the year.

I dunno, I kind of like it.

>>6201346
>Zeo
Good one. They'll release figures beyond MMPR because they're relatively cheap, but we're never gonna see shit like zords. They already said they'll be re-releasing the original MMPR toys from 93, presumably for the 25th anniversary, so we'll be lucky to get a Legacy Shogun before then.

>>6201755

Power sword is also coming out.

I wonder if there is going to be any mold degradation with these re-releases. Shit is so prevalent in the G1 transformer reissues.

>>6202607
I don't think it'll be zords. I believe it's been said that the molds are gone, and remolding them would an expensive gamble considering most people who would have wanted them have since bought the legacy versions.

I'm thinking it'll be the original 8" figures and/or the flipheads as they'll be cheap enough to get nostalgic casuals to impulse buy, and that seems to be the market Bandai is going for with this move.

>>6200745
>Damn, mind fucking blown
Yes apparently, as you previously demanded a set of toys to recreate everything accurately which not even any single set of official props could do.

>>6201475
I hate it. I really hate it.

>>6202778
>I believe it's been said that the molds are gone,

I don't think that's been said officially, but I have mentioned here that I think they are due to the fact that they haven't seen use even when Bandai was frequently reissuing older zords. I apologize if thats been mixed up and peopel took it as gospel.

I think the old auto-morphin flipheads are a definite reissue possibility, on the subject of reissues.

If they're gonna re-release original toys they should do the 5 inch monsters since they're in scale with the current line and hold up well. Especially in light of the 5 inch MMPRs being re-released in the 2 packs, and a new 5" Rita/Putty/Alpha coming soon.
