Here's an old one >>6222721
We're all just kinda sitting on our asses until April I guess.
>>6224847
What's in April?
>>6224850
Movie toys.
>>6224827
Sorry to hear, Anon.
Be nice if BBTS or TFSource would put up preorders for TR wave 4. But I guess Walmart has to have a monopoly on the 'not selling toys' market.
>>6224881
Wal-Mart is probably Hasbro's largest customer. They can't afford to lose them.
>>6224881
Neither my Target or Walmart have had Transformers for months.
Literally rows of empty pegs. It's maddening. I guess they're waiting for the movie stuff, but holy crap it's annoying.
>>6224859
That's right.
Does anyone have a template of the Titans Return checklist where I can fill in color boxes?
>>6224907
You mean with tiny squares for shading? Or are you just looking for the regular checklist?
Either way please wait while I get my ass to a computer to update it with the Targetmasters.
Here it is, with Slugslinger placed in Wave 6.
In this update I've added a new feature: figures repeated in later waves are now represented as faded-out squares.
Also minor text fixes.
Is there any way to get MP Cheetor's beast mode torso to lock together?
Cheetors tons of fun.
I haven't had time to mess with the bot mode but his beast mode is twice as fun than Primes for some reason.
>>6224847
For those only joining us now, the 2017 Austrailian Toy & Hobby Fair has been going on this weekend, and Hasbro brought some Transformers.
>>6225145
Titans Return.
>>6225149
>>6225152
>>6225154
Fuck Getaway.
>>6225159
Trypticon is a big big dino boy.
>>6225160
>>6225120
I think it has the do with the body shapes.
Like Primal is just another humanoid, that's all fine and dandy but it's not really anything special. Meanwhile you have Cheetor and he's a fucking highly poseable with the goofiest fucking face there is.
>>6225163
>>6225159
>It's another Getaway doesn't Get Away episode
>>6225166
Octone is holding Shuffler in his left hand.
>>6225164
Highly poseable cat*
>>6225170
Blitzwing.
>>6225149
>dat thigh gap on Tryp
>>6225176
gurgle gurgle gurgle
>>6225180
Jumpstarters.
>>6225182
Ramhorn.
Did anyone else get really shitty paint apps on their optimus primal face plates? I just got one brand new only to find all of them chipped in some way.
>>6225183
Thundertilt.
>>6225187
Rodimus Prime.
>>6225191
Apparently the diecast part on Thunderwing and Rodimus is the face.
>>6225184
Out of the box or after use?
The clearance for his robot head in beast mode is even tighter than it looks, if you aren't careful to pose his head straight before transforming it'll bump against the inside of the back and it could scratch the faceplate.
If they came brand new like that then that's fucked. Do you have pics?
>>6225193
There was also apparently a Transformers-only meetup officiated by Hasbro employees. Revealed at this side event are deluxe TR figures Misfire (with Aimless) and Slugslinger (with Caliburst).
Have fun trying to find all the new toys they didn't take close-up shots of.
>>6225198
And that's it for Generations.
>>6225145
The Last Knight.
>>6225202
This was the first official appearance of Deluxe Barricade, but I guess no one cared because of the leak two months ago.
>>6225204
Reptile knights.
>>6225206
Shitty retool Drift, shitty repaint Bumblebee, and BB-8.
>>6225210
Voyagers Grimlock (redeco) and Hound (new mold).
>>6225212
Voyager faction leaders.
>>6225214
>transforming MP primal
>accidentally gouge out a scratch in the gorilla pecs with my tweezers
This is what I get for using pointy tweezers to transform things instead of just keeping a long fingernail. It's barely even noticeable but now it's gonna bug me.
>>6225086
We can only pray those Wave 6 Voy molds are going to be Horrorcons.
Wave 6 Deluxes are probably all remolds/recolors like CW.
>>6225216
Also, Legion class. There appear to be zero new molds.
fsfsfsvfwrf
>live in canadia

>>6225197
I just got it off ebay, listed brand new and never opened. When I opened the box I noticed some chips on the plates, I haven't even touched him since I noticed.
Not at home but will get pics later, but similar to another ebay seller's dilemma in a listing I'm looking at right now.
>>6225221
Is that barricade not new?
>>6225220
I'm certain that we're getting the three other Autobot Targetmasters in the remaining Deluxe spots. Maybe Sureshot could be a new mold in Wave 5, then Pointblank and Crosshairs would be retools of Hot Rod and Kup in W6.
>>6225227
>making target masters into modern headmasters
Headmasters for everyone!
>>6225234
>Oh wow, that prime was from RoTF wasn't it?
Yeah. Kinda disappointing seeing it in fewer colors than the ROTF version.
>>6225086
Ypu should fade out Cosmos as he was just a T30 release, unless they somehow make him different for this one.
>>6225237
Where have you been since the beginning the line?
>>6225240
I still consider him a new release in the context of TR, plus this version doesn't come with Payload.
>>6225145
Robots in Disguise.
>>6225232
The empty space in Wave 5 isn't a new mold though: it's a repack of Wolfwire according to the guy who leaked Misfire/Windblade/Twin Twist to us.
I think Pointblank will have to be either a Blurr or Chromedome remold.
>>6225248
Legion Cyclonus in-package, plus a Legion version of one of the Stunticons.
>>6225149
I can see a Cosmos on the top shelf between Brawn and Chase, and another on the table in front of Kup. Are there any closer shots?
>>6225251
Crash Combiners. "Lunar Force" redeco of StrongPrime on the right.
>>6225255
One-Step Changers (or Turbo Changers? w/e). Heatseeker the Stunticon once again present as a standalone figure.
>>6225180
Literally the only figure I'm excited for out of the upcoming waves. Been waiting years for him and he looks near-perfect.
>>6225257
Warrior Class. Redeco Windblade joins Blurr, Bludgeon, Soundwave, and Thermidor.
>>6225259
More Warriors. Another Grimlock, Skywarp, and Twinferno. Twinferno's art lets you know that he will actually be red instead of magenta.
>>6225261
Still cool as fuck though.
>>6225261
They were absolutely retarded to make Voyager RID Grim an exclusive on some shitty online store no one has heard of.
That thing would fly off the shelves if you put it in a place regular parents and kids could actually see. I mean, it's goddamn Grimlock.
>>6225262
One more shot to close this image set. I just now realized that the Combiner Force logo is two robots high-fiving. The effect is actually real neat.
>>6225253
Here's as close a shot as I could find of the Cosmos on the table.
>>6225267
>>6225253
And here's the one on the shelf.
>>6225269
>>6225253
Plus his collectible card for good measure.
>>6225204
>>6225212
>>6225210
>>6225214
So movie figures I'm interested in this time:
Deluxe
Berserker
Steelbane
the 2nd Bumblebee that's gonna be a later wave
maybe Barricade
VOyager
Hound
Megatron
>>6225221
No new molds in the first wave, there is a new mold for Hound, that big red and black dragon, Crosshairs and Drift. Saw those at NYTF.
>>6225251
dem RiD Legions, Heatseeker looks good.
>>6225263
>That thing would fly off the shelves if you put it in a place regular parents and kids could actually see
I don't know anon, the set seems to be moving as slowly as the other Platinums here in the Philippines.
Here it is on a shelf from last May.
>>6225278
The same shelf, several months later.
>>6225277
No love for our boy Scorn?
>>6225279
I dunno how it is over there. My impression is you guys just have a shit ton of everything, though they're also overpriced as fuck.
Here, you can have a full shelf of new stuff, but within a week at most, the toys that people want will all disappear.
I wished Steelbane got a Voyager too
>>6225240
People are speculating his head might be molded in red this time, and be a darker, more toy accurate green.
>>6225278
It's kinda pricey even at discounted prices. And it's packed with that bumblebee mold that everyone that buys RID has.
>>6225269
Some closer pics of that Overlord would have been nice, since that might be the final product, and not NYTF's paint fest.
>>6225283
It probably has to do with how overpriced the Platinum sets are, yeah. And we do have a lot of stuff compared to, say, the US, but most of the toys still get bought in time for the next wave to release, while the Plats sit for over a year.
>>6225288
It's aggravating how they put Warrior Bee in everything. This set for example would be perfect if it was only one figure plus the accessories. Instead they include the most common Warrior and the weakest Decepticon figure.
Just wanted to say that Cyclonus will say at the ending of season 3
Here come spoilers!!!!
After the fight with Megatron and the defeat of the combiners,Steeljaw run away,Starscream gets killed and Cyclonus,just before the council citadel falls tells to Bumblebee:
"You think you have won? Do you even think that!? They are coming for all of us! Nobody will survive!"
The citadel falls,the autobots escape woth Megatron and Cyclonus dies with other cons,Steeljaw dissapeared and a new journey starts.
There were also some cool lines for Cyclonus like this:
"You have brought Cybertron back to life,so it can die again?"
"I am Cyclonus! Leader of the Great Cybertronyan council!"
"You betrayed your own cause!" "You are no more stronger like before (Megatron),you are like him (Prime)!"
The season will start at the end of this month. Just reposting what anon said in the old thread,also Corey Burton will voice Cyclonus,that's fucking amazing!
>>6225297
I feel bad for Starscream, surviving Prime just to die in RID.
>>6225300
It's funny that they have the balls to do that.Also,Steeljaw didn't die?
I went and bought this blue dude after seeing the Targetmaster news yesterday. He was the last copy on the shelf, presumably because a bunch of other people bought Triggerhappies for the same reason.
>>6225332
He was jammed way back inside the shelf, which I realize now might have meant that someone was saving him for later.
Oh well.
>>6225333
>tfw you hide toy in the same spots as other toy-hunters you've never met but know exist in your area because sometimes toys are already hidden there
Feels weird man
>>6225282
The Voyager looks good, but I am happy with the Age of Extinction deluxe.
>>6225335
I always hide my toys around the barbie isle
Usually on a top shelf
Would you buy Scorponok if he is another Metroplex/Fort remold?
>>6225332
>>6225333
Well, he is a great figure all around, have fun with him Anon.
>>6225345
No.
>>6225345
Yeah probably
>>6225348
I have indeed been enjoying him, thanks! He has a lot of gun options, it's great.
>>6225335
>>6225342
As collectors, why do you hide toys and for how long? I've always figured that if there's a figure I want but I don't have the money, it'll be gone no matter where I stuff it.
>>6225237
Well, they do have it where you can put the headmaster in the gun.
>>6225353
I only really did it in CW because I didn't want to get entire teams at once. I'd just go back whenever I could afford to get something.
Buy yeah no if you hide that shit REALLY well it'll be there forever (unless your stores are really thorough with straightening out their shelves, I guess). I did that with Bionicles as a kid, I'd hide shit all over my superstore and come back like 6 months later and it's still all there (it was kind of a dumpy superstore)
>>6225262
I like the red a lot more than magenta, honestly.
>>6225365
Not a fan of the red plastic Hasbro uses, though.
>>6225353
>As collectors, why do you hide toys and for how long?
I just buy online. Best way to get anything.
>>6225377
Price wise, hell no.
But for the guarantee you'll find something at all, definitely.
>>6225086
You might as well put Wolfwire in the empty Wave 5 slot.
As much as it pains me, the guy who pulled a "my dad works at Nintendo" argument was actually right about Windblade and Misfire.
>>6225232
Is it weird that I think G1 Kup, Hot Rod and Blurr look WAY better than the TR versions?
>>6225264
>I just now realized that the Combiner Force logo is two robots high-fiving
lol, that's actually pretty neat.
>>6225345
I'm pretty sure it will be, but I skipped out on Metro and Fort Max so its alright.
>>6225198
As I said (poorly) in the last thread, I'm pretty sure that White car near the tablet is RID Smokescreen, assuming they carry forward his design from Prime.
>>6225224
>>stickers instead of paint
That is, sadly, part of everything above a Deluxe in TR.
>>6225401
>Is it weird that I think G1 Kup, Hot Rod and Blurr look WAY better than the TR versions?
The TR figures are better toys, but I do think that the colors on those G1 figures are better than on the Hasbro Deluxes. I mean, sheesh, Blurr.
>>6225404
Stickers instead of print, that is. there are still painted parts on Voyager and above.
>>6225264
>I just now realized that the Combiner Force logo is two robots high-fiving.
That entire logo is giving me vibes of the old Hasbro House.
>>6225401
>Is it weird that I think G1 Kup, Hot Rod and Blurr look WAY better than the TR versions?
Yeah, kinda, especially with the amount of anti-sticker bias on /toy/.
Like, those G1 figures have 0 leg articulation, like one actual paint app a piece, and poor Kup's arms are growing out of his kidneys.
>>6225402
It's RB Quickshadow
>>6225381
>Price wise, hell no.
I end up paying MSRP either way. The gas money it takes to go to Walmart costs me what I end up saving by going to Walmart.
>>6225345
Didn't get 'plex or 'max. Probably won't get Scorpy either... I do hope to get Trypticon though.
>>6225422
Okay, that's definitely the one in car mode. Thought the robot with the gun there and it were the same.
>>6225447
The robot near it is some version of strongarm
If fucking weaboo saber can get an MP then Overlord should too.
>>6225483
cause lobsters come in red and blue

So I have an old Animated Arcee whose thumbs are broken and with moderate paint damage. I have Legends Arcee so I don't need another Arcee, and she's no good to sell because as I mentioned her thumbs are broken and her paint is a mess. That being said I don't want to get rid of her, so I'm thinking once I've got my airbrushing setup sorted of customizing her into someone else. The question is, who? I'm thinking Minerva- the only problem is that whilst modifying her to be TM compatible would be a piece of cake, the only Shapeways Minerva faceplate available is a bit weird-looking. I'm thinking of either making my own faceplate (I have some, admittedly limited, experience with Blender) or alternatively ditching the Headmaster gimmick altogether and just getting the Shapeways "ears" for her. There's also the issue of replacement forearms but that should be easier to sort.
What do?
>titan fortmax was above 2ft tall
>titan metroplex was 2 ft, or about 60cm
>titan devastator was 18inch, or 45cm
>titan trypticon is 45cm in robot mode
>trypticon cannot fight metroplex on even terms
Guys, we made a BIG mistake
>>6225187
where is this head from?
>>6225550
its the thunderwing head (made of diecast) from the bbts exclusive box set with 5 other proper titan return toys
>>6225547
thanks, i sprayed pepsi over my screen due to that pic, haven't laughed so hard in a while
>>6225547
Have you seen Metroplex? Trypticon can just trip the lanky fucker with his tail.
>>6225564
>have I seen
I am forever cursed with the hasbro metro and sdcc formax.
Still I would like him to least be able to skullbash the lanky fuck rather than be gon from god damn tekken, hated being tripped by little shits ever since, damn manlets
>>6225564
>>6225564
Who was in the wrong here?
>>6225264
GO TEAM VENTURE!
>>6225572
BASED TF_YUKI-I MEAN PR
>>6225564
Metroplex doesn't need any help falling over.
>>6225572
>At least I have ankle tilt!
>>6225353
see i do it when i need to come back with more money and thats usually when i find a couple of things i want otherwise i just buy it, you have to know where to hide it though me i always use the wrestling rings that no one ever touches
>>6225577
Shame Hasbro was so buttblasted by Yuki that they made Takara tell him to stop.
>>6225592
I think its still yuki taking those shots since they have so much character to them.
I think its because he gave people too much to speculate about when he posted that baldigus pic, and with the megatron leak (which may-may not of been his fault) I guess takara had to reign him in.
But its for the best since not everything from yuki was tf related
>>6225572
I really wish Kabaya make new mini Metroplex and Trypticon
>>6225572
I believe this image is still a teaser.
Its exactly the same as the hasbro version, if its different I would suspect the light set up may be the reason (since tf_pr shots are taken with proper photo set ups-compared to all hasbro tryp sightings which are over saturated with showroom lights).
We will have to see but know this, this trypticon will "supposedly" have a catapult, or least something the hasbro one lacks, will it be enough to sway our dollars, who can say
>>6225572
Apparently that's LG43 Dinosaurer. Is he actually any different from Titans Return Trypticon?
Am I the only one who is confused as why Takara is a hurry to release Trypticon but still has nothing on the rest of the already out hasbro new mold?
>>6225602
My local shops are already taking pre-orders for it. Expected launch is August 2017.
It's their big summer release.
>>6225607
Starting pre-orders early to get the ball rolling.
Its another fort max situation, we already know least one thing is different or perhaps more
From amiami:
[Set Contents]
-Trypticon x1
-Full-Tilt (vehicle) x1
-Headmaster x1
-Catapult x1
-Weapon x1
-User seal x1
-Instruction paper x1
The catapult is what will make him stand apart, but it might be awhile before we see it.
Meanwhile people were losing hope with LG fortmax because no confirmation about the sword until the last moment, all they had was a nicer color scheme, voicebox and a new head the sdcc version shared.
That and unlike the other stuff its a big release, takara's end could lose money if jp residents just import hasbro trypticon's.
>>6225612
>jp residents just import hasbro trypticon's.
I thought the Japanese were supposed to be smart.
>Out for Delivery
>>6225631
Japanese fans import Hasbro products all the time. I saw a bunch of pictures on 2chan of people posing the Unite Warriors Aerialbots with Combiner Wars Optimus.
The whole "importing from outside Japan" thing is probably why TakaraTomy works so hard to make their G1-based products appealing to collectors.
>>6225631
And mandarake would be jp products only, and yet here we are being able to broiwse hasbro products there.
Variant collectors, impatient people or people with a preference, between hasbro and takara, they have something for everyone.
April cannot come soon enough.
>>6225649
Are uh, are MP-5's shorts on the right way?
>>6225653
That's how is he sadly
>>6225523
Cum on her and take a photo.
I went through my collection and realized I only had one fembot, RID Windblade... How sexist of me.
>>6225660
There isn't enough fembots to be equal.
Even with the repaints and retools there isn't enough
>the 2 trypticons are different
Circle details in the neck collar differ, takara's is anime accurate ie unpainted while hasbro has additional detail painted.
I'm still waiting for more proper images but there is a strong chance we may have already seen the full takara version
I've always wanted a soundwave. is the titans return soundwave worth it? or should i just suck it up and get the masterpiece?
>>6225688
They're both roughly the same size, and if you have the money the MP is absolutely worth it.
>>6225688
On one hand the TR/legends soundwave despite carrying alot from blaster (his tapedeck mode is shit compared to his robot) its a stellar toy and if you can look past the tapedeck he looks the part, a very playable toy that you can look at and know its soundwave.
The other is ripped from the tv and given to you in 3dimensional toy, there is no question the mp is utter perfection in the looks department, and depending on which version you'll find him swimming with his buddies.
There is the reissue of the mp coming (the hasbro reissue is out now) but you'll need to ask yourself
>budget limits?
>is soundwave someone that was significant in your childhood?
>or do you just want a competent soundwave that just looks the part as a bot?
If I couldn't get past the tapedeck id honestly own both soundwave in mp and tr/legends forms, the blaster toy gave me a great impression and is a stand in until an official mp comes
Just wanted to say other interestin things about this season:
Ultra Magnus,Bulckhead appear too but they don't do too much,Heatwave and Griffin Rock is mentioned,Blurr joins team Bee,Bludgeon is one of Cyclonus henchmen,Soundwave was freed by Cyclonus and changed completely for a mission:Hunting down all the other remained decepticons and the predacon(Predaking) and bringing them to him.Soundwave will have a small fight with Megatron and then he leaves using the space bridge.Soundwave serve's Cyclonus now.
Knockout shows that he has a relationship with Arcee,well atleast that's what he says,the TF Prime kids are now grown up and they will appear in one episode,in another one we will see Agent Fowller.Twinferno and other bots will have mostly the screen time like Jazz had,not that much,you will see Jazz too and Ratchet,there is also Bruticus,they will show some explantions on why Cybertron didn't need to be reborn.Starscream won't be killed by an autobot or Megatron,Cyclonus will kill him,he knows that he is not the commander that he needs,Skywarp will be Starscreams clone,but he will dissapear at the ending of the season,Shockwave was mentioned,Steeljaw will have a fight with Bumblebee and when the citadel will fall he will run,Cyclonus will die when the citadel will fall.The series ends with an Optimus speech,Prime will leave again and Bumblebee will say that they need to be ready for what will come.Oh,Megatron will go with Prime.They are friends again.
>>6225552
I assume it's not up on BBTS yet?
>>6225703
not that I'm aware of, or anywhere infact.
>>6225701
> Knockout shows that he has a relationship with Arcee,well atleast that's what he says
I can see now the all fan arts and fan fics.
>>6225701
Soundwave survives.
Hell yeah!
>Starscream killed by Cyclonus,not Megatron
That's something new.I was expecting Meg to kill him.
>>6225685
I'm guessing Full tilt will be as bland as UW Dragstrip.
>>6225738
Depends, I wouldn't reply on those renders since they were based on the hasbro version.
But what else could they do for full tilt, silver rims would be silly, and he only had one black and white comic appearance, that said the hasbro one looks glittery...maybe make him a flat, mp shockwave like purple and call it a day
>>6225701
Does Skywarp being a clone mean Steve Blum is doubling as him?
also does Storm Shot ever appear?
>>6225738
They probably won't change anything. Full Tilt wasn't a character in the cartoon so they'll just leave him dark purple.
>>6225746
Yes.
Yes.
>>6225746
>>6225750
does Predaking ever show up or just get mentioned?
also remember any other voice actors like for Twinferno, Bludgeon and Storm Shot.
and lastly what kind of characterization does Twinferno and Stormshot have?
>>le stevey blumy meemee
>>6225759
>>6225701
Nothing personal Anon but I don't believe you.
This sounds too good for a shit shit like RID2015.
Also there's no Windblade and we know that Hasbro would want their waifu in the season.
>>6225193
I am still so furious that the only upgrade Rodinus Prime gets in this line is a redundant Titanmaster.
>>6225774
Hes a Prime, next line is called "Power of the Primes" just be patient and enjoy the best oficial Hotrod we've had.
>>6225778
>every single hotrod to date has proportional issues
>except mp-09 which is suicidal
Why do we have so many good megatrons and op's but not one proportionally good hotrod, he took over for OP for fucks sake
Custom (prototype)
>>6225785
Blastoff won't work.
>>6225601
It has yellow eyes dingus.
>>6225769
It's ok,also there is Windblade,but she isn't used too much.
>>6225757
Just Mentioned.
Gain,I wasn't interested that much in the voice actors so I don't remember all of them,mostly where new ones an from Prime.Twinferno likes to be the "cool" guy,Bludgeon is crazy,he is loyal to Cyclonus,Stormshot is the "joker" of the team,he is funny.
Other questions?
>>6225785
I'm still annoyed that they made copter-arms that don't have missiles but didn't use that on Blades.
>>6225791
was not expecting those characterizations for Stormshot or Twinferno but it should be interesting.
here's another question.
any other Decepticons from Seasons 1 and 2 specifically from RID outside of Steeljaw, Starscream and Soundwave?
>>6225685
>mfw the Hasbro version has more paint apps than the Takara one.
What universe is this?
>>6225791
What happened to Airachnid?
Custom (prototype)
>>6225791
>Other questions?
Does Arcee have blue lipstick?
Is Airachnid mentioned?
Is Galvatronus in the show?
>>6225792
Those had girly hands inside the armour, i gave my Blades the arms from a spare Firefly and they work fine.
>>6225798
They didn't explain anything on her,Soundwave was sent in his mission by Cyclonus before the final battle so we didn't see those cons.
Cyclonus said:
"Soundwave,I will sent you in a mission to hunt down the all remained decepticons and the predacon and bring them to me."
Pretty crazy don't you think? Soundwave will have a lot of work. After that he fought Meg and then escaped sith the space bridge.
>>6225796
Just cameos,we see Thunderhoof,Quillfire,Fracture,etc.
Just was to forget,Soundwave will say:
"Soundwave superior.
Megatron inferior.''
That's just amazing.

You are doing Blastoff backwards, the nose has to point up in arm mode, heres another custom.
>>6225811
This isn't mine, but man i love the shuttle mode, I think the customizer was Leobraker.
>>6225797
The one where Takara always follows the cartoon color schemes, even when sometimes they're hopelessly bland and shit.
So still the same one.
On the plus side though it does mean you get the occasional Blur.

My kingdom for a Metro rerelease

It started with RotF.
>>6225685
That's probably some production version or deco prototype, or something along the lines.
If it were a Takara version it would no doubt have con symbols on the shins.
>>6225827
That'll be $150 Freedomerica Eagledollars. You're welcome.
>>6225837
I'll take it.
Better than 500$ before shipping, on a good day.

On one hand I'm dreading if Takara ever do Triggerhappy.
On the other hand I hope Takara do Misfire.

>Takara is a hurry to release Trypticon
LG Tryps isn't due until September, I wouldn't call that a hurry.
>but still has nothing on the rest of the already out hasbro new mold
The Legends line is pretty much on hold for now because of the movie line.

>>6225854
Misfire might be a mistake. I don't believe he's ever had purple head, so it might just be that they forgot to paint it for the display.
>>6225854
I'm still mad it won't be toy/IDW Misfire's head.
>>6225871
Obviously Knockout is Arcee's hagfag
Spicy fruit that gives suggestions about cosmetics
>>6225572
that's clearly NOT Takara's version of trypticon. The eyes might appear to be yellow, but I'm dead certain that's just light glinting off the plastic and making the orange look lighter due to the angle of the head beneath the light fixture above it.
Do you guys really think the ONLY difference Takara would make the colour scheme would be the eyes? Dumb.
>>6225878
I'm more mad about the fact that we've gotten Misfire, Krok and Flywheels, but most likely won't get the rest of the Scavengers.
>>6225878
>IDW Misfire's head.
Dodged a bullet there. Thanks be.
>>6225890
We getting there. Spinister and Crankcase are pretty likely eventually since others from their series are getting made. Fulcrum a bit less and might just end up being a head attached to one of them or something.
>>6225890
Why do they keep making Spinister an exclusive? Just give him a regular release!
And I knew I should have gotten that 3rd party Crankcase when he was available.
>idw spam
Game over thread ruined
>>6225897
They released Quake, so he might get a release, just don't expect any effort.
I'm expecting a Highbrow repaint with a new head.

You have to read like two issues of a pretty popular mainstream comic.
It's a lot of work.

was that pun intentional or not.
Honestly I could accept the visor but the head being all pink is just weird.

Hasbro cares about general audience not 80s kids.
Anyway,I will go with my gf to see TLK(she doesn't know that much about TF).
>>6225941
The first transformers shown in that episode are bayformers
>>6225943
>my gf
So you're taking your hand? Big whoop.
>>6225933
Legends Crankcase and Fulcrum? No fucking thank you.
>>6225945
and the first thing inside your mother was a black man.
what's your point?
>>6225948
Bayformers has its own unique term. I dont see anyone ever typing geewunformers, idwformers, etc. Bayformers rolls nicely off the tongue
Does anyone really like the Bayformer designs?
I assumed they were pretty universally reviled among TF fans. But they keep making Bayformer toys so I guess someone likes them.
>>6225956
I think they're all universally terrible. Onscreen I can't tell any of the Decepticons apart.
>>6225956
I like the ones that go full strange and the altmodes are usually amazing. Biggest issue is the overuse of grey.
>>6225956
Personally, I think they're hideous for the most part. The designs are a complete and total clusterfuck. Too busy. No one is recognizable from any other form of media they've been in except Prime, and even then they fucked his color scheme up entirely.
They pretty much violate every rule of aesthetically pleasing designs and art. And as someone who was pretty heavily invested in aesthetics (because I've done a lot of art in my time, even had a chance to work at a comic company), it just completely comes out as pure trash to my eyes.
I can only guess it's popularity is proof that the average person has shit taste and just wants to see explosions and incomprehensible masses of blurry shit vaguely swinging at each other.
>>6225956
Does this thing count as a Bayformer?
I liked his design.
>>6225970
Why does it need to be pleasant to look at?
>>6225974
if it does, so do the rest of the scout class
god i wish they reissue the whole scout class
>>6225978
It doesn't have to be. But if you design something to look like a walking clusterfuck you also lose any rights to complain when people call you out for shit design.
I feel bad for all of the Sentai/MMPR fans out there, they're getting Bayformer'd now too, the poor fucks.
>>6225988
If it was designed to be alien and difficult to understand, how is it a shit design? Rather, that would seem to be an extremely successful one at conveying those reactions.
>All this hype over the movie toys
>That knowledge they'll shelfwarm for years like every single movie line
>>6225985
>I'm sorry for you that you will never know how is the touch of a woman.And you will die...alone...catman.
Nice one anon.
Well,not that much.
>>6225998
With how much RiD shelfwarms, thaat might not e an issue.
>>6226006
Double the shelfwarming double the headache.
I literally have not seen a single wave 3 TR toy other than two Hot Rods, just RiD crap.
randomly came across an image of some fan modes i made a couple years ago
>>6225956
The toys look fine because they have more coherent and solid parts to them.
On screen though they are total clusterfucks
>>6225985
>What the fuck are you talking about nigga,are you blind?
Heres a quick and dirty example. Even Armadascream, the most divergent in terms of color scheme and overall design, follows some of the color scheme and design hints of past Starscream designs.
Bayformers can't even get that right, and mistook the wings for trying to make him into a giant metal dorito.
>They Might Be Megatrons
For some reason these goofballs appeal to me. TR Megaplex WHEN?
>>6225988
>It doesn't have to be. But if you design something to look like a walking clusterfuck you also lose any rights to complain when people call you out for shit design.
Of course, when the thing you design makes over a billion dollars across four movies, you pretty much have no reason to give a shit what some faceless nobodies on the internet think about it.
>>6225998
>tfw we still have AoE stuff on some shelves
It's pretty weird to see next to TLK Platinum Optimus and dark Grimlock.
>>6226014
>and mistook the wings for trying to make him into a giant metal dorito.
That was an intentional design aspect to bulk him out.
Honestly, this kinda just brings to point he has more in common with standard Starscream designs than I thought. He does have little wings hanging out there behind his shoulders, and he has the cockpit in his abdomen. Head and colors are different, but that's pretty par the course for name re-uses.
I'm the only one who doesn't like G1 too much?
Also,who voices Cyclonus in RID?
>>6226014
>Bayformers can't even get that right,
Except there's nothing to get "right" in the first place. They're completely different characters, and thus there is absolutely no reason for him to have to look like any other Starscream aside from jerking off autistic fanboys who pitch a fit over the slightest deviation from how things were decades ago.
>>6226014
You know, honestly I'm alright with the body designs and even the general spiky-metal-pile look of them, it's just the colors and faces that should have been reworked. Give them their traditional colors and more human faces, or not even human, just solid faces/made of plates instead of so many moving parts, and I would have been a-ok with it all.
>>6226029
>Except there's nothing to get "right" in the first place. They're completely different characters, and thus there is absolutely no reason for him to have to look like any other Starscream aside from jerking off autistic fanboys who pitch a fit over the slightest deviation from how things were decades ago.
Except when you try to make a movie based on something, you shouldn't try to deviate as much as possible from the thing you're basing it on? Otherwise, whats the point? They could've taken all of these Bayformers designs, stripped the color off Optimus, and called it Altlantic Rim: Electronic Deathbot Boogaloo.
>>6226022
The movie Starscream just looks like a misshapen mess of steel chunks. And they are all grey.
It's not just that it doesn't look like Starscream, it doesn't really look like anything visually apealing.
>>6226036
Pacific Rim came out after Bayformers. It does mimic characteristics of other series, but is ultimately its own and follows its own rules.
>>6226036
I mean, even the Battleship movie still had ships being destroyed by giant peg things.
>>6226042
And the Transformers movie had big-ass alien machine guys that turn into vehicles fighting each other.
>>6225919
>2 fake cockpits with 2 miniature seats.

Can it store two head guys in there?
>>6226058
Definitely not. The actual TM cockpit is the translucent blue on the body.
>>6226058
That would've been sweet, so no
>>6226053
>>6226056
Fuck yeah, I was right, it was a mistake.
>>6226058
I finally got PE hands and feet (or rather their cheaper KOs) for Menasor but those ball jointed ankles were no match for Menasor's mighty weight.
Also I made the discovery that MP Inferno's firehose is 5mm compatible.
>>6226048
>>6226061
I was wondering where does Misfire's blue visor came from since neither his cartoon or his toy has that.
>>6226076
Meanwhile, enjoy Manletsor!
>>6226073
I had hoped so too. Nice. I'd prefer the IDW head, but black is at least better.
>>6226080
Now, fight!

>>6226094
You are getting a modern Misfire with G1 slavish look and it won't have a 3P pricetag.
Guess you have to find anything to complain.
>>6226088
Oh fuck this works way too well for a joke
>>6226101
Because it's not on the same sprue. Blame Hasbro. Most of the TM seem to be made that way.
>>6226106
>>6226108
But it could have been, Misfire has black plastic for hands and feet.
>>6226114
I'm gonna bet they're painted.
>>6225284
He's getting a Leader according to Amazon.es listings.
>>6226121
Shit really?
Steelbane, right? Not Dragonstorm or whatever that red dragon we saw on toy fair?
>>6226104
Point out where Misfire was mentioned or cared about.
>>6226128
Fuck, it was Dragonstorm. Sorry.
>>6226011
these are pretty cool desu
>>6226101
There you go expecting effort again.
>>6226100
It could still be pink. Colors and paint deviate from the CGI renders countless of times.
>>6226061
The body is great but I can't stand that stupid head.

That entire twin cockpit assembly just sits on his back. It would have been easy for them to make it work.
faggots.
Not if they were trying to reuse Triggerhappy's mold with minimum retooling and costs.
>>6226242
Why not do a direct recolor as another plane with only one nose?
>>6225936
yah
>>6226196
Yeah, and usually the most logical decision between the two tended to be the final result.
>Rumble: New head or Rewind repaint
>Ravage: New head or Stripes repaint
>Afterburner: New head or Groove repaint
>Misfire: Black helmet with several forms of precedence, or pink helmet that may just be unpainted
>>6226248
because this probably was always part of the plan. the equivalent of a seeker mold, but with alterations to each so that each character would get a new toy.
Do the prime characters look the same?
