For those that have a TR Kup already. I kind of like the toy from what I've seen, but the TM head looks like crap to me. What TM would you suggest to replace the one he includes?

You can coat it in shiny new paint all you want but at the end of the day, the engineering is the same as a $12 toy.

Generations 2010 Kup is fine for me.

There's still room Voyager Horrorcons in the last wave.

Just fucking revive him. They've revived Megatron like 3 times now, getting Starsfream in a cooler body won't hurt.

>>6281420
They fucked up making Brawn into a legends class. They had the perfect excuse to not make Apeface and Snapdragon into proper figures because they already got TMs, but legends Brawn means that that doesn't mean shit to them and they could get Voyagers anyway.

Why do people like to pretend that paint chipping on MPs isn't real when recently both Primal and Cheetor had reported paint chipping
Why do people get delusional when it comes to Megatron
Is because muh G1?

>>6281585
I'm very OCD. Just a moment ago I looked over a Figuarts Green Ranger figure that had fallenoff a shelf a few weeks back, trying to find any imperfections or flaws in it. I saw some nick in the front, but it might just be how the injection molding came out, and also noticed the paint on the front is uneven. It bugs me to the point I kinda wanna buy a new one.But, everything has an opposite, and I suspect there are people who are just not bothered.

>>6281590
I find myself more forgiving of small shit when I enjoy the rest of the toy.

If I feel the toy is just okay overall, then seeing a small stress mark is enough for me to return it or sell it.

But for the toys I enjoy a lot, even if I find a crack somewhere, I'd still enjoy it as long as it's not something that will get worse over time.

>>6281585
Cheetor has paint chipping? I only knew of paint rub on the paw joints and that's it.

>>6281585
I have all three of these and I didn't notice paint chipping.

>>6281685
Apparently paint can flake from his tight thigh joints, but I haven't had it happen.

His beast head stuffs very tightly into his chest though and might rub if you don't sand down some plastic to make better clearance.

Speaking of Primal, what are people's thoughts on this? Im considering it, although personally I would paint the gorilla eyes solid colored. If it had sculpted fur I'd be all over it because I definitely prefer the toy alt mode to the show one. Do you think all the black is painted or solid black plastic?

>>6281708
Not my thing but it certainly looks interesting. I wish the flail and mutant head came with MP32 though.

Sculpted fur detail would have made it look a lot better though.

>>6281708
It looks like a matte black finish, not black plastic.

Hopefully it's still a tampo and not paint. The tampo'd fur detail on MP32 is resilient as hell.

All we have are our personal anecdotes.

My Cheeto has been constantly handled since I got him and has no chipping whatsoever. My Meg has some rub on one of those round bits that form the top of the gun and that's it since I sanded down the back bit that can scratch the helmet. Of course I'm sure if I banged everything up trying to transform him back and forth there'd be a lot more.

Anybody bother trying to reset Cheetoh's whiskers after he's been in bot mode for a while? Not sure how I feel about those to be honest.

Also now I remember why I love beast wars, their alt modes have just as much character as their bot modes, or at least way more than cars and static objects.

>>6281729

Man I hope this movie is just a two and a half hour extension of the last five minutes of DOTM. Just Murdermus Prime all up in that bitch.

It surprises me that Cullen voices him since wasn't the heroism thing a sticking point, or is that paycheck just that damn big?

>>6281751
Where? Because the tampo'd texture rubs against itself constantly and doesn't even show signs of wear.

The actual paint, like the antennas and inner-knees are about as susceptible to chipping as any other recent MP, though.

>>6281753
I've been transforming him back and forth occasionally. Leaving Cheetor in robot mode for a while it's pretty the whiskers flat up against his face but you can just bend them back no problem.

>>6281754
It's just Dark Awakening all over again, Optimus isn't really going evil.

>>6281758

I don't even know how I make typos like this. Leaving him in robot mode presses the whiskers flat up against his beast face.

I haven't even looked into the new movie toys this time around because I had assumed they would be garbage.
If this thing looks half as rad at retail as it does in this picture I am going to have to break my not buying Decepticons rule.

Michael Bay's renewed enthusiasm must have rubbed off on the designers, because all the new molds in TLK look impressive in at least one mode.

Or maybe it's just Shogo Hasui magic.

>>6281908
Worth it if you like the looks. He has the same basic articulation and hollowness of RID designs, plus quite a basic transformation. There's some color-match issue between the painted and plastic teal, but you won't notice that in robot mode because it's mostly painted teal you see.

So, I only ever bought LG Hardhead and Brainstorm because those were the only two Headmaster molds I really wanted. But Ive been playing with these guys again lately, and it's starting to feel a lot like I only have half a team assembled here.

Can anyone sell me on LG Chromedome and Highbrow? All I really hear about those molds is that Chromedome recycled CW DeadEnd's engineering and Highbrow is inexplicably bad for some reason.

(And not that it matters, but I mean the LG versions and not the TR versions. I'm a bit of an autismo and like takara's anime facesculpts a lot more than hasbro's toy facesculpts.)

>>6282041

That's the thing. Too expensive for a set of six heads, and anon might not want all six of them.

It's a hard sell, really. Highbrow isn't bad, persay, he's just not quite as cool as cool as he should be, and I think a lot of that has to do with his bobble head. If you're clever, you can fix it well enough, though. Chromedome is just boring is all. I have the set of all 4, but for quite some time, the other two have been stashed in a drawer while Brainstorm and Hardhead are still chilling on my desk.

>>6282208
I think Highbrow oozes more style over Hardhead, personally. Something about Hardhead's bot mode just seems....OFF for some reason.

G1 Jetfire? Look around for places selling replacement parts for 80s Macross Valkyries.

>>6282154
Looks like he's got jets on his back, and the weapon on his right arm looks like it could be a cockpit. Though he also looks like he was molded off of DotM Shockwave, so my guess is he's a funky looking jet remodeled after a cybertronian tank.

>>6282250

No, that just looks like shit. Why can't they have face plates and actual people faces like they should have? Why does everything have to be some metal jumble, or bug face?

>>6282634
The Autobots are a bit more coherent, but they went full ham trying to make the decepticons as monstrous as possible.

They have literal blender faces, trollish posture, fucked up limbs and nightmare claws, all of them.

They toned it down kind of a lot after the first movie, though.

>>6282698
They gave the transformers much more human faces in Age of Extinction and those designs weren't recieved nearly as well as the original Bay designs

>>6282634
Easier to make loose pieces that move around with large gaps.
Making a humanoid face with smooth motion and fine seams takes effort, time, aesthetics, and skill.
Just compare to the transformations; as in the 3D doesn't transform, it is achieved with multiple swap-in models, scene changes, shot transitions, and blurring.
Presuming the level of technology Cybertronians would be composed of (magic alloys activated by bay-radiation) 3D models could be constructed that actually transform without model swapping and SFX, but the engineering cost and time would only allow 1 or 2 for the movie's budget.

>>6282693
>They're modernized.
Bullshit. Making something unrecognizable and Giger-esque is not "modernizing" it, and if you're looking for hardcore edgy realism you're barking up the wrong franchise.
>You can't seriously expect them to have G1 style faces
Why not? Star Trek got away with human-like aliens, Star Wars continues to get away with it, and Guardians of the Galaxy also makes mad money with them. As a matter of fact, Sentinel Prime and some TF4 bots had really human faces and no one bat an eye. At this point saying it can't work is just mental gymnastics or apologism.

>>6282693
>actual people faces

Honestly >>6282693 is a pretty good equivalent to the "soft metal" faces of cartoon transformers. I mean there's a very obvious and easy to read facial structure, it's just made of moving parts rather than being a smooth surface.

Buying misb stuff from hong kong is usually fine as long as it's not actually from mainline china, right? In terms of avoiding potentional KOs and scams.

-Quickswitch (yes, better than Sixshot's, it's weird)

-Triggerhappy's
-Hardhead (though, he leaves a very noticeable gap, so I don't recommend it)
-Nightbeat (personally find his to be the best looking, but it just barely fits, so if he has any issue he won't go in)

Note that the TM has to have the legs pinned correctly (if the TM's feet don't line up perfectly with the torso, then you run into problems on certain figures)

It's to help them emote without resorting too much on liquid metal. It's actually more effort on the animators than to just do it Colossus-style.

See Sideswipe's face. Him along with Arcee, Ironhide and Ratchet had the best movie faces that felt a bit alien and friendly without being too humanoid.

Yeah avoid china unless you're buying 3PKO which is a lot easier to research about.

There's a very simple reason the faces don't look like G1 faces; this isn't fucking G1. It's a re-imagining. Things are different. Fuck off.

I used to be like you. I'd always go to movies based on pre-established franchises, and then be fucking cranky that every element wasn't exactly the same as it was in the old version. Then I fucking grew up and realized variety is the spice of life.

>>6282893
>Things are different. Fuck off.
No, you fuck off. The Bay aesthetic is ugly as sin for the most part and I cannot enjoy it nor the way it's the public image for Transformers. You already assume I'm some raving geewunner but you can't be further from the truth. I was an A/E/C kid who branched out into G1, Beast Wars, comics, and later Animated. I like variety, but liking variety doesn't mean you have to happily gobble up whatever Hasbro or Bay or whoever shits out.

The thing I hate most about the movie-verse is that the Decepticons are all just 100% evil all the time drooling spiky monsters.

Nah, just 80% of the characters. There are decent designs in the movies coupled with the worst of the worst.

I like new Barricade with all the cop equipment on him. He feels more transformer like than the other designs.

>>6282875
I still find Crosshairs retreating up the waterfall funny

It's actually so it would be easier to distinguish the two factions in all the smoke and shaky cameras.

In TLK he becomes the butt of a joke where Cogman twists his finger and he hand-fans his face over the agonizing pain.

Not a big fan of the head. Too round when his original had this triangular face ending with a sharp beard thing going on. I wanted something like his NDS head portrait.

>>6282930
Yeah, that's why I said "most". Sentinel looks good and Hound looks decent. Prime also looks good when his faceplate is up. Unfortunately for every one of those there's 5 walking skeletons with nightmare faces.

>>6282968
The Ds game was the shit.

Anyone noticed that in 3 trailers we've only seen one shot of Hound and Crosshairs, and nothing on the robot modes of Barricade or Drift? I got a feeling Drifts gonna die but barricade supposedly has a lot of screentime, which is odd

To add, Jazz, Brawl and and Barricade were pretty great even though the latter isn't an adaptation of his original.

It's a shame that in TLK we only have Megatron and Barricade redesigns. Onslaught based on the recent trailer is in fact a rebuilt Long Haul and Nitro's...something out of a SHockwave and Soundwave bot.

Mohawk's probably a new model, to die during the early scenes.

Yeah, that's the weirdest. I can't even speculate on why Drift is being kept at bay to the point where he doesn't even get a CG render, or that he didn't even appear in the cinemacon footage.

The only thing we got of him is this photoshopped concept.

I can almost guarantee all but Megatron and Barricade will die.

Actually you know what, I think they revived Barricade to actually replace Starscream as the second in command. They've been hinting that Barry might be a classic backstabbing scheming Starscream personality but whether it applies to the humans alone and not to Megatron remains to be seen.

>>6282698
Because it looks cool. Remember, the most popular of the G1 Transformers were the ones that had masks or such, which are not what a human mouth looks like.

>>6282994
I thought it was pretty obvious Barricade would be the new SIC, he's the only other Movie 1 Decepticon that's still around, combine that with his strong presence in the first film, he's the really the only one that qualifies.

>Movie Barricade so strong that he showed up in all four toylines, had his IDW history be about a Decepticon policebot AND survive through 10 years, longer than any Decepticon.

Granted the toy he had in AoE was just a small non-movie sock-em toy. Forgot what they were called but one of those punching things where if you hit the chest his head extends out.

>>6283028
How close to death is he?

Autobots vary in colors, Decepticons vary in shape.
