>>
>>6209225
In this test there is something that would stand out if you are picky, if you haven't seen it good chance you aren't autistic enough to care.

Once someone notices it we'll all see it, so keep looking if you dare or wait until someone notices.

Truthfully where I found it it bothered quite a few people which prompted me to see what its effects would be here, in short its not a big deal to most people and if it is a big deal they need to step out of the line/hobby

Um, you do realize many copies of hasbro mp prowl also had the same problem?

And hasbro took the smart route with their alpha trion but not even trying at all.

Crooked yes but not upside down or angled, when it comes to tf toys especially modern toys one should expect minimal issues, my mp inferno has globs on paint in spots here and there, my hasbro combiner wars sets either have scratched paint or warped parts that can't be bent back.

I could even bring up rid scourge's shoulder tampos being upside down due to sheer design laziness but that depends on where you sit on the fence, the fact is between hasbro and takara there WILL be errors, the severity will differ from figure to figure

Painted eyes on MPs are preferable because light piped eyes look completely dead when they're not in direct light and in a series where a characters eyes go out when they're dead it just bugs me. Primal is okay though so maybe Cheetor is as well. Still looking forward to getting mine but still.

I like to imagine that Lockdown is what transfomers could have been like in the 90's had they decided to stick with cars instead of rebooting with beastformers.

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/age-of-extinction-toy-repaints.981316/page-250#post-13380303

The poster quoted in that post saw the leaked TR wave 3 slides and some additional stuff months before they became available on the internet. And mostly of them have panned out in the interim.

What is interesting is one that hasn't:

>Decepticon Clones. Looked to me like they have a Predaking. And the D-clones were Predaking parts. Same with Horri-Bull.

If he is credible as he appears then Predaking does seem likely.
>>
>>6209524
Except that the clones are not deluxe class. And horribull was released as just a single head.
>>
>>6209533
Those were probably concepts at the time, just like how "Magnus Prime" was just going to be a blue Powermaster Prime, but was changed to be a release of Ginrai.

The Clones are pretty much their G1 counterparts with improved articulation, also they are a "new class" size, bigger than legends smaller than deluxes, exclusive to boxsets, said by your overlord Warden.
>>
>>6209547
So... New "Scout" class? Before scouts became Legends?
>>
>>6209533
He never mentions the size class. And I think he isn't talking about the Titanmaster Terribull, but an actual Horribull toy of some sort possibly remolded from one of the Predacons.
>>
>>6209211
Red on the inside of his left leg but not right? Is it supposed to be like that?
>>
>>6209550
Kinda, the 4 clones seem to share the same mold, I guess well get the 3rd clone in a boxset with Godbomber, another figure with its own "exclusive class".
>>
>>6209556
It is meant to be like that, that's the "rudder" that allows the transport mode to stand flat

Its interesting to see how people have reacted to it so far, some picked it out and are bothered, others are bothered by HOW people are noticing.

All I can say is this, if you never notice "it" on the figure, great, you're a happy person, if you do notice you'll be either sent into madness or just note something that is slowly becoming more "normal" with mass produced figures.

Feel free to cheat by looking at past responses though, answer is already noted

The stickers on the chest are okay, but the ones on the wings and legs go over molded detail so they will peel eventually. Then again these stickers are pretty minor and you won't notice them missing, nothing as bad as the W3 and W4 voyagers.
>>
>>6209627
God they're so pathetically tiny, why even bother?

I'm assuming the wings are painted before sticker application and the residue from the stickers won't damage them via simple peeling right?

I think this might work out fine, just a dab of paint on the helmet to match the face being painted white would work, any qc issues other than paint app problems?

Also kinda too bad they didn't do more with his heels. Why not, I wonder, if it's just a matter of molding. I actually thought his feet might have some other function - like those purple squares opened up or something. No dice, though.

I mean, my hands didn't rub paint off. When you put his beastmode pecs inside his chest it sometimes rubs the back of the robot chest. Also the robot mode head can scrape the beast back in beast mode if you're not perfect in transforming that back-of-the-neck part.

Not saying this because I'm complaining, but just a heads up for anyone else who might end up jacking up their paint.

I managed to put a thin layer of white paint on his faceplate so that it matches the blue/grey on there and you can't really notice the beast chest scraping unless you look for it.

What's the deal with these Chinese tfs sold without boxes on ebay? Are they knock-offs, factory seconds or legit figures?
>>
>>6209728
It's cheaper to ship without a box, but at the same time, TF4 Scorn was highly knocked off and the best way to tell is if the seller was in China and not in a box
>>

There are known cw bootlegs in many forms but even the bootlegged shockwave figures still had boxes.

My money is leaning on factory seconds or some dumbass rushing to get figures ripping boxes open only to meet the very thing they saw in the fucking clamshell.

Hell maybe they stole it from a store and think its easier to hide the fact (I see tf boxes open in shops sometimes, and I'm not in china), or maybe some weird attempt to cut shipping cost (last I checked shipping went up there?)

Seeing his rating, perhaps give it a shot and let us know if he comes in an envelope or something

I'm one of the very few collectors who just straight up doesn't give a fuck about scale or autistic aesthetic matching so I can put chibi master made and gewun MP figures right next to each other and not be bothered.

For me, it's less "in scale" and more "The size I feel like they'd be."

People keep wanting good leader-class Megatrons and Primes, but I always feel they work perfectly at voyager scale with MAYBE Megatron being a leader class if you go for the Armada kind of size difference he had going with Prime.
Yeah, mass shifting was common, both intentionally and due to bad animation quality, but perception is a third factor.
>>
>>6209799
Wow dude. Chill. I wasn't even referring to the toy. I just think Megatron should be taller than Optimus Prime. In general. It's cooler when the bad guys are bigger.

For someone who claims to not care, you sure do care that we know exactly how much you don't care.

>I'm one of the very few collectors who just straight up doesn't give a fuck about scale

I don't even know why scale is a thing for collectors. Most everything outside the TF world is 1/12 so shit won't scale with anything properly more often than not (ie: Wolverine the 5ft nothing manlet being as tall as other characters, for a quick and dirty example), and most everything inside the TF world is spread across a bunch of scales, none of which match up with anything outside of the TF stuff and rarely matches up with the scale inside of it. The closest is the MP line, and even then, something is always off because either the vehicles or the 'bots aren't quite where they should be in terms of sizing. Also it's all based off size compared to Optimus, who was arbitrarily sized at around what, 9 inches or so anyway?

Scale can be fun to work with. Its cool seeing how characters would size up to each other. For example, I have a Yamato Ingram from Patlabor in the 1/24 scale,which lines up with the Alternators. So if I want to display some Autoroopers teaming up with it, it'd looks "Accurate".

Personally I've always kinda wanted a "Giantslaying" themed TF series where all the Autobots are tiny cars, the decepticons are huge jets and tanks, and the Autobots have to rely on power armor and combiners in order to stand up to the Decepticons.

So apparently this prologue to Lio Convoy went up. It's actually kind of depressing:

Junior asks his dad, Lio Convoy, to buy him a Transformers toy, but he thinks they're way too expensive. Lio Convoy instead entertains his son for free by "transforming" his face into funny expressions, but once he's done lauging, Junior restates that he still wants a toy.
Later, Lio Convoy takes the 5000 yen intended for Junior's school lunches and claims he'll "transform" it 100 000 yen... by using it to gamble at the races. Instead, he ends up losing it all. Finding his dad sulking over his poor decisions in a park, Junior gently takes him back home and asks him to stop trying to transform their money.

And the Leo Convoy comic:

The travels of Leo Prime, legendary warrior from the G1 world who once fought on future Earth, have brought him to the Legends Universe to defend it from their nefarious creators, the Zamojin. Determined to protect the people of this world as thanks for supporting him in his past battles, he engages in a space duel with Katsu Don, who believes their creation has gone wrong and that its continued existence is dangerous. The Zamojin uses Nijika to absorb Leo Prime's "beast power", reverting him to his original body and causing him to fall to the planet below, crashing into the home of Lio Convoy and Junior

The two believe him to be the Transformers toy Junior has been wishing for lately, and it takes some convincing before they realize he's not just a big toy with a talking gimmick.
Leo Prime explains that he's come to fight the Zamojin and why: when the Transformers realized that their adventures manifested as TV programs in the Legends world, they felt encouraged by the cheers of the children watching them and persevered through many harsh battles as a result. (He wonders if a message he left for the kids in his last appearance reached them, a question that goes unanswered as the family doesn't own a TV.) Asked about the Zamojins' motives, he begins to explain that the Legends Universe was meant as an experiment in beast power, also known as Jūchōkon, an energy that was copied from beast Transformers like him and now exists within all Legends natives. He's interrupted when Katsu Don, having found him, rips into the house and begins draining Junior's beast power, prompting the normally deadbeat Lio Convoy to come to his son's defense.

Noting Convoy's willingness to fight, Leo Prime reveals that as copies of Transformers, the people of the Legends world are able to tap into their ancestral memories and become proper Transformers themselves—what they think is "Transformers sickness" is actually them unlocking their true potential! He takes Lio Convoy's hand and helps expedite the process, transforming his copy into a giant robotic lion capable of taking on Katsu Don.

By scanning Twincast, Leo Prime then adopts a Headmaster form and combines with Lio Convoy into a new robot mode, having confirmed from Lio's love for his son that they are indeed the same person and should have no problem combining. Using Lio Convoy's beast power, he unleashes a series of attacks that knocks Nijika out of Katsu Don's hands and sends the Zamojin fleeing, swearing revenge.

Leo Prime chooses to remain in the Legends Universe to protect it from further Zamojin attacks, living with his new friends at their new home, which is made up of Lio Convoy's new starship mode. Junior's friends are greatly impressed by his cool house... until his dad embarrasses him by transforming into lion mode when he needs to use the bathroom.

WFC ones are breddy gud, if you dig the aesthetic.
If you have the money then Hasbro is going to re-release the masterpiece one with all it's cassettes. If you don't you can always get the Titans Return one.
Sound Label soundwave is amazing, but fucking expensive and really hard to get.
You can always get a bootleg g1 if everything else fails.

Huh, is this the first Takara Headmaster that's similar to the American ones?

And man, that's really strange. Legends Leo Convoy is formed out of G1 Leo Convoy, and his Legends counterpart.
>>
>>6210721
The definitive Soundwave figure is the Masterpiece.The Hasbro version includes all the cassettes but has Yellow eyes. Still, it's way cheaper than the Takara route. He's got tons of joints, even a finger one to press down on this eject button. He's unquestionably one of the best MP's. The only real problem he has are his weird hip joints, which sit under his skirt assembly, but it just means his legs can move without hindering his crotch.

He'll be expensive as hell either way, but the only other options are device label (No cassettes and super rare and expensive) or the Titans Returns leader (clear Blaster remold, wrong gun, less articulation, and no cassettes)

Can someone do a picture with Takara Nosecone with his drill pointing out forward out of the knee area? I'm pretty sure the Rook mold has a 5mm hole there, though it might be a little off-center.
>>
>>6210802
What'd you do?
>>
>>6210731
I couldn't really say so. Nautica has a really weird alt-mode (it has a resemblance to Scourge's somehow). But her robot mode it's just too sleek to give her a propper form (without the assitance of "non-profitable engineering" that Hasbro refuses to use in it's retail toys).
It's actually fun that they used Blurr's alt mode, since it already was used for two other exclusive releases, so it should be regarded as a meme, imho. But also it's a legit choice because fortunately Blurr's mold is already pretty feminine; more feminine than TR Windblade at least (That weird miss-transforming was possibly the employee's intention in order to hide how shitty the mold actually is).
Those little wing thing tho, they look legit nice molded; it could be literally the most expensive accessory that you could use for a custom.

Td:lr She looks like a trap.

I have a strong feeling that pic related was intended to be a part of combiner wars, or perhaps a shift in production design.

I was curious about him having a tamashii stand port, had a look at mine and it lacked it, mold year is 2015.

Yet black shadow does have a tamashii stand, mold year 2016, same for pmop (although I can't access mine it does have the tamashii stand port despite being a retool of ultra magnus from cw).

Anyone with sixshot can confirm if he has the stand port?

Or perhaps any theories in support/against my theory?

The year of the snake omega was a good stand in, and while making him as big as a regular combiner would be awesome I don't think we can really call it a titan (even if its more affordable and a better selling point).

Mp titans, if I recall from an interview that's out of the question at this time, I believe taking on triple changers should be their main focus personally.

Mp combiners ARE however on the cards (as well as more mp dinobots), supposedly the first combiner they'd do would be bruticus, when they'll work on them, no idea.

Give them a few years, we may see what we want, perhaps not

>>6211453

Because I only remember devastator being prolific with him and if correct then thats my theory why it would be scaled to devastator, for nostalgia purposes.

It varies to insane degrees. In the comic he was like twice as tall, in the series, more like ten times. In the Dreamwave comics he's about twenty times as big, in the IDW ones about five.
