I liked TFP WJ enough to buy 4 versions of him, tell me why I'm wrong.

Also, previous thread >>6272489

>>6274567
You're not, that's a great mold. I like to keep his shoulders folded up so he doesn't have quite as gorilla-y proportions, but otherwise he's pretty much my de facto IDW-esque Wheeljack. I might someday pick up an extra and give him the generations' head and find a way to attach the wrenches.

Prime really did have a lot of great molds, now that I think about it. The first edition Bumblebee is definitely in my top 5 favorites.

>>6274559
Not Leader-class.

>>6274597
I'd like to see if I could outfit this mold with a more G1-ish BB head. The muscle car look would go well with the GDO Cliffjumper.

>>6274559

sold my RTS but kept the takara one

I look at all these people getting excited for all these upcoming movie toys, and I can't understand why. The movie toys always end up shelfwarming for years afterall.

>>6276154
Probably because the new molds we are getting this time look way better than what we got with AOE.

Also, I live in one of the few countries where the only AOE figures released were the 1-step crap and stuff like that, so I'm actually OK with the Dinobot repaints and stuff.

>>6274597
First Edition was good.
Prime, Starscream, Bumblebee for sure.

not at all, especially two of them are distinct characters and the repaint is different enough from the original that it can easily be suggested to be a new character

also while not my absolute favorite, I do really like ROTF Thrust a lot, he's got a really unique appearance(makes me picture him as being a lot like the Byarlant Custom from Gundam Unicorn in action), although in the context of my collection and the pseudo-fanfiction/headcanon surrounding it I treat him as a version of Flywheels instead(since Flywheels still doesn't have a CHUG version and is the only other Decepticon I could find that shared Thrust's particular shade of magenta, them both turning into jets happens to be a nice bonus)

Gen Metro, couldn´t get him when he was released and had to buy a couple of junkers to "complete" one, but I'm pretty much in love, he was one of the few transformers I had as a kid.

>>6274559
First time I had him the little tabs broke that kept the arms up so I thought he was a shitty mess bc it was out of the box

Another favorite would be Animated Swindle, that sculpt looks like it walked right off the show.

After getting Rook/Hot Spot/Groove in the mail, decided to assemble my Defensor for the the first time sort of.

I don't have Blade/Streetwise, so I subbed Prowl in for them. Already owned First Aid, so this is the first time he's been used with his own team to create a gesalt as opposed to being an odd man on Cyclonus's makeshift team.

>>6276666
Don't even bother getting Blades/Streetwise. This is already pretty much the best Defensor line-up.

>treat him as a version of Flywheels instead
I gotta be honest, that's not a bad idea at all. Maybe if you stole some of the brown pieces from the other version of the mold you could really push towards being Flywheels. I even wonder if there'd be room for the TM Flywheels head in the cockpit.

I'm just getting desperate since he keeps not getting a figure even though the redeco chances have been there. I know Gen Blitzwing wasn't a /great/ mold, but it would have been perfect for Flywheels!

>>6277009
Megatron better be working against Optimus because he now gives fuck-all about Cybertron and doesn't want Earth destroyed. That'd be a nice twist from the previous films.

>>6277039
He's seen fighting against Prime.

MP Wheeljack is still one of my all-time favorites. So glad he was made before the cartoon-accuracy shitshow shifted into high-gear. This paintjob is pure sex, and the cartoon deco is absolute boring trash. Fight me.

Thinking of getting into collecting transformer mp toys. I'm from Australia so the figures are expensive for me.

You think it's a hobby worth getting into? I will play with them a few times but they are mainly for display and collecting

>>6277140
Depends on how much you loved the G1 cartoon, or if you have a decent amount of cash in your wallet.

Otherwise, I think it's fine for just getting Optimus Prime.

Well I know that, but I meant the reason behind the fighting is that he's now trying to save Earth so he can be it's ruler.

You know, as opposed to "I wanna destroy Earth, Optimus! You don't get that privilege! I called dibs!" It'd be a nice mirroring of their roles since if this time around Megs was defending Earth. Just while simultaniously being a jackass and pillaging/destroying human locations with his crew because he's still all about himself.

Galaxy Force Vector Prime and Starscream were my third+fourth Japanese import purchases (BW Neo Longrack and Robot Masters Primal were my first+second). First time I remember deciding to pay more money for a better version (Hasbro's Vector Prime was dark brown and had rubbery plastic) or the same amount of money for a smaller version (never wanted Hasbro's giant Starscream KO).

>>6275099
Personally I prefer the Hasbro color scheme, it's a good looking 'realistic' aircraft compared to grape.

I think my megs might be misassembled. Are those ridges supposed to be there? Because all the videos I've seen have this barrel assembly swinging down smoothly but this gets in the way on mine ad I don't eat to break him.

>>6277372
Same as mine but I don't have any issues. Are they detenting as you rotate the assembly?

>>6277372
Also make sure that the barrel is out of the way of the hinge when you are rotating things.

>Depends on how much you loved the G1 cartoon
not necessarily. I never gave a shit about the G1 cartoon and barely know the characters at all, but I still have a good MP/3P collection based on alt mode accuracy, bot mode articulation and aesthetics. the other benefit to zero cartoon/story loyalty is that you won't be dumb enough to buy 5 repainted/retooled versions of the same damn toy.

>>6277140
what about KOs? Get KO Wheeljack and Sideswipe/Lambor if you can, and see if you like them. I collect them mainly to play with them, so KOs might not be up your particular alley. those two KOs are near perfect replicas and display beautifully though.

I think the real Breakdown is in whatever limbo spot the Stunticons fell into after CW. And that one showed up because a shitty writer already brought in Knock-Out and had to bring conjunction junction or whatever you call it with him.

>>6277596
Chosen Prime.

Anyone figure out if certain guns from TR are meant to attach to other places other than instructed? I know Sixshot can attack his guns on his backs (and Wolf mode) in a new configuration, but do Hot Rod's, Triggerhappy, and Laser Prime have other ways to attach their guns?

My local Target has Black Shadow. Should I get him or do I wait till Overlord?

>>6277670
Who do you like more? I'm more interested in Black Shadow however next year I'm sure Takara's verios. Will be amazing

>>6277670
I'd say BlackShadow.

TR Blackshow is pretty neat by itself but LG Overlord will probably be better

>>6277675
I really fucking want Overlord, but Black Shadow in-hand is fucking spectacular.

Not really interested in importing the LG Overlord.

>>6277685
I don't even know why people want to wait for Takara Overlord. The only thing they'll change are a few colors, and add a second TM, which technically already exist since Black Shadow comes with Mega, while Giga is included with Overlord.

>>6277689
That's a whole lot of assumptions considering we don't have in had photos of the Hasbro version

So I've always loved transformers since I was a kid, getting lots of G1 toys from car boot sales, had some of the G2 toys and always onto the lore, comics, shows but not a fan of the new movies.

Want to get back into collecting, stopped when I was about 25. Also wanted to start reviewing, probably focusing on a load of the beast wars toys I have. Our tiny town had a toy store that always had stuff on crazy discounts for clearance so I'd pick up a deluxe figure super cheap every week.

So, what would you like to see reviewed and what do you think would make a good name for a review channel?

>>6277695

toy reviewers are a dime a dozen. I say watch up on a variety of different channels, do some research on what works and doesn't work.

At the same time, you gotta be able to set yourself apart.

The only real big thing that keeps me from watching a video regardless of how its presented is actual quality of the video, like if it was filmed on a cell phone from 2001 in a motel room with no lighting, I'm not watching.

>>6277695
>So, what would you like to see reviewed and what do you think would make a good name for a review channel?

Clear, concise, and to the point. No stupid catchphrases, no long music intros, just a "Hi, I'm blah blah, I'm reviewing X", followed by a review. And I do mean a review. Point out negatives, point out positives. Don't slobber on a toys knob like it's the greatest thing ever if it's got obvious flaws.

Also what I want to see reviewed most is 3P stuff. Most HasTak stuff you can tell exactly what you're getting just by seeing photos of it, and can take a guess at the relative quality. 3P is all over the place, some releases are amazing, others are the plastic equivalent of a fire at a shit processing plant.

>>6277723
like this

>>6277415
I think it works on Wheeljack just because he actually DOES have a lot of paint detail. Ratchet would just be all white, and it would kinda look like dump.

I think the case with Ratchet is odd. Everyone complains about paint chips on him, but my Ironhide doesn't have any at all, and I've transformed him a lot, and not particularly gently. I think this proves it really is more about the quality of the paint than it is paint itself.

>>6277422
He's one of the few bots that completely uses his alt. mode in bot mode. and vise-versa. Nothing really tucks away and hides during either transformation. It all just becomes something else.

>>6277745
Yeah Ironhide just has much stronger paint. I had both for a while and Ironhide has none of the chips Ratchet has.

>>6277745
Speaking of fake parts, I find it neat how, despite the robot mode chest on MP Cheetor obviously being fake, the actual beast head is right behind it at exactly the same spot. If they wanted to, for whatever reason, they could have used the beast mode head for the robot mode chest without that many alterations to the current transformation, which I just think is cool and makes up for the fake chest..

>>6277623
Hot Rod has one, but it's really a coincidence rather than an undocumented feature. The tabs on the gun that are meant to go on the engine also tan into the slits on this thighs. It looks ridiculous but someone might like it.

>>6277800
There's a similar thing with hard head. There are tiny little little nubs on his arms that a tiny little hole on his gun can peg onto.

If you ever wanted to store his gun like that.

A lot of people seem to think that Ironhide's plastic is gloss-injected, and not painted.

I can't say, because I really don't know what gloss-injection looks like, but the surface of my Ironhide does have some imperfections that look like tiny paint bubbles or dust particles that happened during the painting process. Also, if gloss injection can look like nice, why don't they fucking gloss inject everything?

Both are Hasbro though.

It was a weird time when this set was released. The AOE toys were still price controlled and local dealers parallel imported the set in mass amounts. They wanted quick turnovers so everyone slashed the prices almost immediately. The end result was that you could obtain the sets at up to 50% off the components' combined MSRP, with Takara-tier paintjobs.

The RID Warrior is not bad. The transformation is simplified from the Generations version in a good way, with no gappy alt mode and feet that's easier to balance with

>>6278036

She just got killed (maybe) in the comics, and thats like, their top shilling platform for Windblade, so maybe they'll end up phasing her out.

Man, MP-36 is killing me.

Whenever I get a new figure I tend to transform it back and forth repeatedly, getting a feel for it.

I transformed MP-36 to gun and back once and now I'm scared to do it again even though the urge is strong.

People are already throwing a fuzz over Shockwave either being too light purple or not dark enough.

Anything as simple as color will make people go nuts.

But otherwise, it would just be one of the cons of the figure if it were normal/cheap plastic grey. If it breaks easily then yes, there will be a shitstorm and not just in cartoon accuracy.

No one expected Takara to give Hot Rod and Kup their Targetmasters. That and given the amount of remolding they did for Ginrai, they may do stuff like actually giving Overlord Godmaster engines for his chest or adding his pop-out weapons (which I'm not clear if the Hasbro version has)

Hes pretty decent and the only way to get Mega, unless Takara includes both titanmasters with their Overlord.

Including the pop up weapon might not happen if the Hasbro version doesn't include it, since it would need a ton of remolding just to accommodate it.

I'll give you the Godmaster engines, that'd be easy enough to do, but they'd need a third TM for it all to work.

Why does Titans Return Broadside have packaging that makes him look like a Decepticon?

I don't think striving for cartoon accuracy is such a bad thing. The Animated figures were pretty show accurate and the toys didn't suffer for it. But I suppose that's a different case.

>>6278512
All the voyagers from AOE, including CW, up to TR wave 2 has autobot styling. Guess they wanted to change it up with wave 3.

>>6278566
>Bumblebee's stock footage shows that his chest is faux kibble
Absolute madmen

>>6278566
Part of the thing with the Animated line was that the cartoon designers worked hand-in-hand with the toy designers to come up with character models that could be translated fluidly into transforming action figures.

The MP line in its current state is working off of character models that did not consider how every part of the robot goes into its alt form. That's how we get amazing tricks like Inferno's disappearing ladder, but it's also why Megatron is so damn complicated. Definitely a different situation.

>>6278566

I have like four of these. So fucking good.

>>6278566
The issue with G1 shit is that we have people who are split on what G1 accuracy is because the entirety of G1 was inconsistent as fuck. There are people who want to animation accurate down to being featureless blobs, people who want things to be vehicle accurate with all the proper details, people who want toy accuracy, and I'm sure there are some other sub-categories of autism for this like people who want fucking animation errors.

It's not like S2/S3 beast wars, animated, prime and so on, where they started to nail having consistent designs between the toys and commercials. You could make a toy for any other universe besides G1 and as long as it pretty much looks right, you won't get the same kind of autism as you would from G1 fans complaining about it not being perfectly aligned with what their "idea" of the the toy is.

>>6278566

It makes me sad that TFA had great engineering but some shoddy QC.

Sure, the automorph limbs take some getting used to, and the combiner pegs can be an eyesore. However, the Commander figures that make up most of the line are good toys.

>>6278697
Yeah, I'll admit the Commander figures are good, until the plastic cracks.

>>6278702
Not that I don't believe you, but I have all but like two PCC figures and have never had one crack. I even used to carry them around in my bag and glove box to fiddle with on a regular basis.

>>6278702
I will agree with you that the plastic they used on those things was shoddy.

Remember all the shit about the open hands, Wreck-Gar's mirrors, and all the stressmarks? 2010 was the beginning of the decline in Transformers plastic quality and you could feel it.

>>6278706

The jet PCC set broke after being in storage for me. It wasn't GPS but it crumbled like it was.

>>6278722

>>6278666
>>6278670
Most of the engineering is done by Takara's designers though. The improvements from Cybertron to around 2010/2011 were due to increases in design budgets that have been cut now by a variety of factors.

You know, even with his faults regarding paint, after transforming him a couple of times now I have to admit that MP-36 is a bit of a miracle of engineering.

Doesn't tell that much also you need to check how long they have been a member off first. Even if they have 200+ if it's under 12 months then there is still a chance that it's a fake profile that was selling shit to himself to he can put a higher rating on himself.

And G2 Sideswipe, forget about it! I even got the "literally who" Diaclone repaints, Loudpedal and Exhaust and they're some of my favorite MPs of all time. I've learned to love repaints, especially MP ones because they're usually still accurate to something.

I skipped Inferno, but got Grapple and have Artfire preordered because I want a fire truck, dammit, and his little targetmaster is just the icing on the cake.

I was able to just buy one. I bought MP-11T because the colors looked so gorgeous, and the painted details were a mile above anything Starscream ever got. Plus Thundercracker is my favorite anyway.

Seriously, the blue plastic on this guy is beautiful. I'm usually a paintfag, but this is some of the nicest bare plastic I've ever seen. His articulation isn't the best, and he doesn't stay pegged together all that well, but his Transformation is fun enough, and he's just so damn pretty in both modes, I have no regrets dropping the crazy money I did on him. I'll stay away from Starscream and his dumpy-looking gray, though.

Fortress maximus retool

Quick question for those who have more experience with this sort of thing. I have a shitty K-Mart not too far away from home, and they tend to put lots of products out of the shelves they're suppose to be in. Can I get more than one toy at a discount? They currently had 4 Leaders on the wrong shelf for way cheaper than normal, with their normal price tag nowhere in sight.

>>6279456
Generally goods are checked out using their barcodes, so if it's not discounted in their database then it's just not discounted no matter where you find it or the condition.

You can always bring the item to the cashier or CS counter and ask for a price check.

>>6279456
Do what I do, I even do this at the very super market I work at.

>grab item
>get cashier to scan
>"hay um that's not the price I saw it at"
>get them to price check if they don't just drop the price straight away
>Situation A:You have a discounted toy, yay
>Situation B:You don't, no sale made

You may take a pic of the shelf if you wish and the display, just pretend you know nothing except the price of what you saw, doesn't always work especially if they somehow suspect you changed the shelving.

Seen a guy do that at my joint once, he cracked it hard but we all had a laugh when he left empty handed.

In short, have a go anon!

Sometimes at my work autist do this, end up checking myself, half the time its from another store, sometimes its my own store's shelf.

But a smaller portion of those are, infact false flags and we end up just denying price changes due to customer tampering, its helpful when the guy that's filled the shelf is nearby to confirm things since by the time we check cctw we could of done more important things, like actually working.

Its why I added "if you wish", its more self satisfaction since staff themselves need to confirm, and you never know if they end up fixing up the display themselves and say nothing they said is true (done that before to some loud prick who wouldn't stop cursing towards the younger staff, but I have encountered it myself, some places you can't trust these days, not that I accuse outright I just follow them down the aisle and keep smiling while having a friendly chat to let them know I'm watching at least)

I want this figure with a sword, as well as Energon Optimus Prime with a broadsword. Would be the only transformers I care to buy.

What's the best version of movie Ironhide? Pic related leader-class or DotM voyager?

I feel like if you get a voyager prime, Takara Movie the Best Deluxe Ironhide is perfect.
Paint is awesome, and the mold captures his sillhouette pretty well.
Goes for around 2k on Manda occasionally.

>>6279674
I have no idea how to use Mandarake, but I appreciate the input. I hadn't really considered deluxe class, but that does look pretty good.

Look at this lankgastic mother fucker. He's almost as stringy as Movie Mixmaster with none of the style. Yet despite how long his limbs are, his kibble still makes posing a bitch. He just never looks good.

ANY other Ironhide toy is better than the DotM voyager. DotM Leader is the definitive, but RotF recon Ironhide and >>6279674 are really good too. Only get the DotM voyager if he's a steal at a garage sale so you can give his giant canon to other toys.

Leader class looks the best. >>6279674 is a nice compromise for size vs looks

The one with the most best play value though, is Recon Ironhide based off the Movie 1 mold. It comes with a shit-ton of weapons and was when that C-clip system was first used on TFs.

That's still fucking tempting.

>>6279758
Too bad the show wasn't that great.

>>6279816
Prime was fantastic, m8.

Only shit thing was Niko. What a fucking dumb bitch.

>>6279817
It had the most boring Optimus Prime and the fight scenes were pretty dull since everyone had the same weapons and abilities. I still enjoyed it though. And yes Miko sucks.

>>6279820
I don't think Optimus was ever meant to be the focus of that show, same with Megatron.

It more or less revolved around the characters who served under them and most of them got satisfying arcs.

Also has the best Soundwave of all time.

>>6279831
Then why the fuck was it called Transformers PRIME?

>>6279832
Probably because the show itself focused on Primes and their impact on Cybertronian history. Season 2 was basically one big hunt for artifacts that had belonged to the original 13.

>>6279339

Which Seeker mold is this?

>>6279816
The show was kinda meh at times, but I thought all of the character designs for the tf's were solid. Way better than Animated imo, all of the characters looked like bad fan art in that show.

>>6279682

The main issue with DotM Ironhide is those shit "shoulders". His elbows are his shoulders and it's stupid.

"Masterpiece" Transformers.

Seriously, not trying to piss on people's bonfires but I really wish Takara would up their manufacturing quality on these to more like SoC or Metal Build levels.

It was the opposite for me. I disliked how much the Prime designs were inspired by the Bayformers. Animated on the other hand was fresh and stylized. I loved the superhero proportions on Prime.

>>6279859
d-delete this, hasbrocuck

>>6279859
Almost all of that is one parts not visible in robot or gun mode. Takara usually does a pretty decent job of making sure the outer plastic is clean.

Most of my paint damage so far has also been on places that are more or less hidden in either mode like the arm pit

>>6279878
That was the only real fight scene I really enjoyed. The best part is when Optimus grinds his tires on Megatron's face. You almost never saw that kind of creativity in 90% of the fights in that series.

We might get an MP someday, they know the demand is there.

>>6279934
I'm not sure what else they could do with it. Even for a 2000's toy Fire Convoy was very well articulated and detailed.

>>6279936
I'm pretty sure the animation staff for RID based the models and transformation directly off the toys for that series.

I seem to recall the transformations lining up more or less exactly between the show and the figures.

>>6279936
It's already pretty good by current mainline standards, but there's always room to improve.

More detailed transformations, a higher quality deco and even more articulation does nothing but good.

>>6279936
Double joints all over the fucking place
better ankles and toes
pull out joints
larger scale firetruck
make the armor posable too, and not a brick

Other than the hollow legs and the painted on rear windows I also really like him. Certainly a far better figure than the shitty Combiner Wars repaint desu.

No new releases.
No new info.

Thats probably why.

>>6279982
Two weeks it'll be busy again. Or around 10 days really

>>6280001
Considering we just had a trailer for the movie, I'd assume there would be more activity. /toy/'s been fucking slow these past couple days. Even the Star Wars thread's void of discussion even though a new trailer just dropped.

>>6280024

Ehh, a lot of people don't like the movies though.

>>6280024
There's only so much to talk about with the new trailers. We already saw the kids, know Murderprime got kicked into highgear, there's some quintessons, and desperately don't want Megajob to job again.

>>6279749
he's still the best modern style Galvatron, which is kinda sad

I dunno how people justify paying $200 for a masterpiece. Alternators are just $20 a piece. But then again I'm poor.

God I love how expressive the the beast modes are for Primal and Cheeto. They're the only MPs I let hang out in alt mode.

Find a flaw

>>6280083

The biggest flaw of them all: Bayformer design.

>>6279987
lolno. While the CW has the stupid, forced combiner shit, it doesn't actually ruin the toy and functions as a toy just fine. Universe Ironhide is just bad all over. Bad design, bad weapon, bad engineering.

>>6279920
I got the Ratchet version recently, and I thought it was OK. The fact that he's forced to look down and you can't really get around it is bullshit though. Otherwise I think the figure is good, with one of those transformations that's complex while being satisfying and not frustrating.

>>6280083
No robot modes on the constructicons.
Piss poor articulation, only designed for one pose.

i sold it a few years back, but i really enjoyed the legends scaled one. don't get me wrong, it wasn't anything groundbreaking, but they were a fun little set.

i'd love more legends combiners. those micromaster ones don't count.

>>6280132
I want to see Titan Devastator done as Legends. Maybe make Long Haul a Scout.

>>6279884

>>6280083
It's not the legends
No robot modes
The design itself is meh

>>6279682
I kind of really like the lanky look of this Ironhide though. Is he really THAT bad if I already like his looks?

>>6280083
No enemy scrotum

>>6280273
The Legends one even has that. Not the same as in the movie, but Overload's wheels fit in the right place to be a scrotum.

>>6280238
No.

But I'd love a MP Ironhide.

>>6280283

Movie Ironhide is a cool design, but its got too much shit going on with all the jaggies and metal bits everywhere, like most of the movie designs.

If he got a re-design that scaled back the "scrap metal" and smoothed things out a bit he would have been amazing. Sort of like what they did with the designs for Prime and Hound in DOTM.

>>6280386

Derp I meant Age of Extinction. Alot the designs got way better in that movie.

>>6280386
Yeah. I think the torso is fine by bayformer standards but the arms and legs could do with some more coherency.

>>6277372
Mine's detented too. I'd try gently easing it past one or two bumps, and if it feels really sketchy just whittle them down a tad with an x-acto knife.

>>6277550
The way the arm and leg pieces switch places from where they are in car mode... Being that skinny and not feeling flimsy... HHHNGH.
