i'm really glad someone pointed out to me that it isn't just a straight repaint of ROTF optimus.

i don't really do movie toys anymore, but fuck me ROTF optimus was incredible, and this one just improves on all of that

I can see the many improvement, but I unfortunately, the chest isn't as good looking as ROTF. It doesn't fall back in place as good, though I can't deny the effort. To be honest, they relied a bit on faux-forming for ROTF leader Prime, while here the red part and lights are actually the original part f the alt mold, so I guess reallity get in the way of good proportions.

But still, they had put fake folded door under the window for leader ROTF Prime, why couldn't they do the same for Masterpiece.

Also notice the lack of blue fold for his sides, who are completely gone. I also included 10th anniversary Movie Prime as it has the best paint job of the non-masterpiece figures for comparison.

TLK Voyager Prime arrived in the mail yesterday and he's nifty as hell. I'm now debating whether I should get Barricade or Beserker

Nevermind, the blue folds are still there. The fact they are only there for robot mode and yet are completely hidden make me hope his chest is still transformed in those pics.

My only regret is that they didn't keep the transforming back-tank.

You can actually see them transforming into his gun in the movie.

Thought I'd take a picture of my Primes since we're discussing the new MP Prime. Fire Convoy technically counts. For an old figure from my childhood he stills holds up well. The rubber tires haven't even cracked at all. I'm missing the back leg panels, his lightbars, and the rest of his trailer unfortunately.

>Diecast

Fuck! Looks like it's in the torso, which isn't too bad, but it also looks like his ankles go straight from plastic ball to metal socket, which if true means this nigga won't stand after a few transformations.

I'm only basing this on the fact that his feet are two different grays , which might also mean unpainted metal. That combined with the seeming lack of a waist swivel and reduced accessory count make that MB leader retool look pretty tempting.

>>6302682
I can't quite tell but it looks like it should be plastic going into plastic. I honestly have enough faith to think they wouldn't do a plastic on metal joint. It might not even be the only joint holding it ankles together either.

>>6302682
Looks like he has a wasit swivel joint to me

>all these"premier edition" TF5 toys

Ive learned from the last movies to not buy this shit, because 6 months from now there will be "premium edition" ones that come out with way better colors and paintjobs.

>>6302673
55 is pretty good for Leader here, but it's bad for Voyager.
I was hoping they could mark down the Voyagers, but they could as well jack up the Leaders instead.

>>6302966
Or it'll be like TF Prime where all the premiers are the best versions of the character and the regular retail or premium editions are all hot shit by comparison

>>6302950
Now I'm paranoid that as soon as MPM4 comes out they'll announce "MPM4.5 Has a trailer edition"

It happened with MP01

>>6302976
A good reason to save your money until further notice.

It's why I'm glad I didn't spend money for the ROTF LC Prime when I found out there's a special Buster edition (which I never actually bought until several years later because I was too broke to afford Japanese toys at the time)

Also, another inaccurate MPM vehicle mode.

>>6302974
Head is a little limited and the shoulders bump into his torso sometimes, but his double-jointed elbows are the bomb. The United deco is superb

>>6302632
I personally feel like the MPM is not worth upgrading from rotf if you have the ufo/fakebusker hands, the only thing it would be able to do rotf doesn't have would be toe or torso articulation, but rotf has the epic I AM OPTIMUS PRIME.

>>6302974
Just wait for the third party version that has a better designed trench coat, the kibble renders him mostly unposable, like a hard rubber dress for a figuart.

Movie Optimus's limbs are pretty scrawny. And the only reason his torso looks fat is because it's a head-on shot and you're seeing his back kibble.

>>6302999

Thanks, gonna hold out unless I get him for cheap. He's not too in demand.

So where the fuck is Sixshot exactly? I've seen him once at Toysrus for like 48 bucks and passed because I figured I'd find him at Target or Walmart for cheaper. That was more than a month ago. Anyone having luck finding the fucker stocked in stores? And he's never stocked on Hasbrotoyshop.com.

The Autobots united set was like 40% cheaper for me too, compared to local MSRPs.

I'm not holding out for that this time though, there will probably be some repaints of AOE molds stuffed in there too.

>>6302973
"Premier" isn't a limited "first edition" like Prime. It's just to differentiate it from Generations and for jacking up the prices. There won't be a non-premier line

At least Barricade has legs lol. If you bend the knees like you're supposed to he looks decent.

I think Barricade is one of those instances where the simplifications for the toy design make it way cooler than the movie design even though they are very similar.

Transformers: The Last Knight actress Laura Haddock took a moment to explain what it’s like to work with director Michael Bay on the set of the new movie.

Haddock explains that the director has a practical approach rather than relying on CGI. He even had built a second fake Stonehenge for the sole purpose of blowing it up.

“Michael’s sets are practical, so you would think that maybe 90 percent of this film is done on green screen, and it’s really not,” Haddock tells EW. “He loves an explosion. He absolutely loves them, so if he can use them safely, he will. Often you’re running through what feels like a genuine … battlefield. Something that kind of builds your adrenaline. You’re absolutely experience what it feels like to have an explosion go off just behind you. And you’re just running, running for your life.”

“I mean the man took a whole crew and cast and unit to Stonehenge and then by the time he had made it down the road, built another Stonehenge just so he could blow it up,” Haddock says.

Well, went around the town today. Movie 5' stuff are out.

Did not get anything big, I am still torn on the new OP. The mold is ok, (I wish the shoulder not being that wide) but the coloring just kills me. But I am tempted. Try to convince me one way or the other on this.

Did get one of them tiny turbo changers. There is a little window on the bottom of the bag so you can somewhat ID them by the color. The problem is the stores around here do not like people sniffing around or actively squeezing the bag. But you somewhat have to as the figures are usually right in the middle of the package, no where near the window.

I ended up finding Blackout quick by luck (also the rather distinct color), but can't find Starscream in time. The stores are crowded and not to mention not bright enough to easily ID the grey of Starscream.
I guess I can live with not getting SS as I still have the 3's deluxe.

So, new movie blackout when?

I can't justify it for that price, rare or not.

Are you both in the same country?

Because that's very steep postage, if he least using a fast service?

Its also just a repaint, better off looking for a loose regular one or the nemesis prime repaint.

I went around again hoping to get Starscream.

And like I said before, being grey, Starscream is hard to find with that little window. Specially there are 3 other figures also came in grey.

I ended up with lockdown and sidewipe. Not sure if I should keep trying. It is not they are 2 bucks cheap. (there are 4 usd each.) You can get one of the CW/TR legend with the total price of the 3.

But, uh, does anyone else have issues with step 3 of his transformation? It was a bitch getting his back to pop out.

>>6302634
I have yet to open my Barricade (been busy), but I saw a review of Beserker, another I want, and his alt-mode looks like it might be pretty weak as he's apparently a bit of a shellformer.
Granted, this review was Baltmatrix, so I'm not sure if the rough looking alt-mode is indicative of the real product or him being bad at transforming it.

Probably because Inferno is a pretty niche buy already. Most people who nab MP's are probably just in it for the "main" cast. ie: Optimus, Megs, Soundwave, Bumblebee, Starscream, maybe Ironhide or Ratchet, and Grimlock, probably.

Chromedome is neat and surprisingly solid. I think I can see why people were disappointed with his engineering coming off of CW, but it's neat seeing a cleaner version of the CW carbot transformation. I almost want a Deadend repaint of this mold just for shits and giggles.

My only complaint is that his guns are lame as hell. He's got a shitty cockpit gun and a little rifle that's exactly the same as Brainstorm's (and being in red plastic makes them look terrible). And since this is the LG version he came with a TM vehicle, but his TM vehicle is probably the single lamest one there is.

I'll probably end up just giving him one of Sentinel Prime's guns.

Takara's going for cgi/cartoon accuracy, warden loves his g1 robo animals. You're SOL if you want some furry, guy.

>>6304461
I wish it looked like a Zoid, the final 3P Lio Convoy design looks uninspired as hell, unlike the awesome Cybertronian Lio Convoy design from the comics.

I like both organic and robo beasts, but I like a particular kind of robo-beast. I love the Transmetals and Zoids, the Cybertron beasts and even the new movie Dinobots. But I'm not too fond of most of the G1 beasts, just too blocky. The g1 Dinobots are fine, but the latter ones that are just blocks with some limbs are just shitty. Like Apeface and Snapdragon, their beast modes just look like shit. Robo beasts should have some sleekness.

>>6304477
>You're SOL if you want some furry, guy.

cgi/cartoon accuracy is perfectly acceptable

>>6304484
I mostly just like the fully organic beasformers because there really aren't any other organic robot toys outside of them.

I splurged and got these three today while out.

I amazed at how little Berserker's alt mode is. I also think he stole some of the hinges that should have gone on Barricade's back kibble.

Broadside is...a bit disappointing. Which I kind of expected. I'll be removing all his stickers I think. Also does anyone else think his plastic seems kind of shittier too? Berserker's plastic is a little cheap feeling as well.

Yeah, I'm definitely removing them. I'll either break out the model paints or wait until repro labels does a set. He's one of the few figures that would be worth restickering and theirs are higher quality and hasbro's.

I never noticed Barricade's manlet proportions before either. He's pretty solid though except for his arm and back kibble.

The movies seriously had some ridiculous size changing, but no one really brings it up all that much. One of the most obvious and blatant examples was Optimus in AoE when they went from robot mode to the cab over truck mode. Like he shrinks to a quarter of his robot mode size

That's the other thing that stopped me buying it.

But I did some research, and some collectors consider "MIB" to mean "undamaged, and shipped in the box".

I disagree completely (It should mean "untouched"), but I'd rather haggle over things I can control.

I didn't really like RiD, but I did like Armada.
But either way Beast Wars was my first love. The whole reason I got into G1 was because of the Predacons, but Predaking hasn't had a decent (non 3P) combiner in years.

Still waiting for a modern Tigerhawk, while we're at it.

>>6304723
I wish Hasbro kept him as Fire Convoy(or "Fire Prime" or whatever) so we could have more non-Optimus leaders. One thing I really like about Japanese continuity is that there's a ton of other hero leaders, with different styles and alt-modes. 15 years of fucking semi trucks is boring.

>>6304723
I started with post movie g1(which I always thought was g2?). It's not that I only want beast wars stuff. I just want a change from "Optimus, Bumble Bee, Ratchet, whatever fourth they want vs the same boring Cons"

>>6304735
I wish they'd done that too. Coulda called him "Infernus Prime" or something. For that matter, Megatron should have stayed as Gigatron. Such a cool name.

Funny, RID/CR gave us some pretty cool names. Ruination, Mach Alert, Gigatron, Dolrailer (though IMO that sounds more like a Zeon Mobile Suit than a Transformer, still a cool name though)...

It's the same thing that hurt the new Godzilla. We should have more imaginative characters doing more uniquely Transformers things. These movies just show how much Michael Bay wishes he was making a more standard Military movie.

>>6304727
But I have some. They're not awful. In fact the first ones I ever saw in hand were on a figure I got from ebay and I didn't realize they were even stickers at first.

I would like to see Optimus as a fire truck more often. I think a fire truck invokes a heroic image in a better way than a trailer truck can. https://youtu.be/WfI0Pzu-uAc?t=5m11s
and that's one of the reasons why RiD Optimus is my favorite Prime. When he's not fighting Predacons/Decepticons he's out working with the local fire department to help put out fires. You wouldn't see any other Prime do that with the exception of Animated Optimus. The others would just sit around at base all day waiting for Megatron to do something.

>>6304780
Thats exactly why I don't want Fire Convoy to be Optimus. It takes a unique trait to a different character and shuffles it into yet another Optimus.

>>6304777
Because there was almost no post-9/11 GI Joe. I get it. You're an angry edgy teen who hates da man. But the common military person doesn't deserve your utmost hate like that. Hate the institution. Hate the wars. But don't be a faggot towards people even if they are just basically mercenaries fighting for oil rights. It's all they can find to give themselves an opportunity at a future you privileged little cumstain.

>>6304767
The military's dick gets sucked so hard because Bay. He loves the whore them out because he's got connections other film-makers don't. I made the mistake of listening to his commentary for the first movie, and he literally fellates himself because he, 'got the phine number for the Pentagon,' as if that makes him special. Fuck I hate Michael Bay.

Just so ya know, the military gets its dick sucked in the movies because it's part of what filmmakers have to do to get actual us military hardware as props. The Marvel movies leave them out entirely post ww2 in order to avoid this. They can't be portrayed in a negative light or they won't get to use them.

>>6304780

shit that truck model would be perfect for Optimus.

This is now my continuity's Optimus alt. mode.

>>6304756

I'd rather there be a character that was so inspired by Optimus he tries to be him. So much so he'd want to be helpful all the time and choose a fire truck as his alt-mode. Give him a removable face plate and helmet, and an ax that turns into an ion-blaster.

>>6304684

Because sheep make for BAAAAD toys.

>>6304829
So Pyro?

>>6304823
I've got my fingers crossed they'll bring back the G1 Predacons as some kind of die-hard Megatron supporters and through some kind of comic book bullshit create Beast Wars Megatron to try to reignite the war, but with the Predacons as the new villain faction.

Maybe after Power of the Primes, since Onyx and Liege Maximo are being set up as the next villains.

Of course, we still haven't seen The Fallen or Unicron. So BW Megs could still be a ways off.

>>6304814
And there's a big reason why I can't get into IDW. At some point, if you're doing big permanent things like this, you should just end it. It's like they want to straddle the line between standard western capes never ending and permanence laden Japanese books but those have endings.

This doesn't explain the utterly retarded shit that went down with the new face and turbines (face is molded in dark blue, turbines are molded in white, meaning not only did they use two molds for these new parts instead of one, both weren't molded in purple when it's the primary color for both).

That'll only happen if Takara were to create a new TF series again. I can't see modern Hasbro spending the money for new designs like that.

>>6304951
I still like these guys, Sideburn in particular. I hate how only old G1 designs are forgiven for having kibble but its unacceptable for anything after 1990. The car bros' kibble was all part of their aesthetic. I like them a lot because they feel like TFs that where made to mimic then-current mecha trends. They almost remind me of Shoji Kawamori designs. It makes me upset that Armada onwards switched to the G1 aesthetic again, then animated onwards went for the lazy stylized aesthetic that Prime and RiD2015 drove intot he ground.

What are the best quality, most show-accurate Prime toys?

>>6304964
On a whole, the first Edition line, but to an extent their are some mainline TFP:RiD figures that are more show accurate. Vehicon being the biggest example. Starscream's Voyager is arguably more show accurate, but not as good a toy. TFP:RiD wasn't a bad line, but on a whole they really cheapened out compared to the first Edition line.

The autobot brothers did make good use of their vehicle kibble as weapons.
>It makes me upset that Armada onwards switched to the G1 aesthetic again, then animated onwards went for the lazy stylized aesthetic that Prime and RiD2015 drove intot he ground.
I kinda disagree with the Animated remark. I thought they gave off an old school anime design with how simple they were. Being animated by a japanese studio probably helped.
>>6304964
All of the First Edition toys, Deluxe Starscream, Soundwave, Beast Hunters Shockwave, and Wheeljack come to mind.

>>6304968

Animated literally looked like DCU-ized Transformers though. It had the same weird scoliosis backs and everything.

>>6304965
What's not as good about Voyager Starscream?

>>6304971
DCAU I mean. You know, Batman:TAS and Superman style.

>>6304968
Animated isn't really guilty of it, but I do blame it for starting the downfall. I knew things where going downhill when TFPrime Ratchet had to have fake doors on his chest rather than actually having them transform. The severe stylization in modern lines is done without any thought as to how the transformation would actually work. Though, again, I do respect animated for making seemingly impossible designs real. I just don't find it as cool as what we could've had, TF Heroes.

>>6304975
I am a fan of those designs so that definitely contributes to my love of Animated. It was heroic and different looking compared to the other series.

>>6304971
Thats because that DCAU style is the only way to do 2D animation on a decent budget without fucking up. You know why the old MArvel cartoons from the 90's, GI Joe, hell, even G1(besidesthe movie and a handful of episodes) had such wonky animation? Because expecting a bunch of animators to faithfully replicate a shitton of details on a really overworked character design is impossible. You compromise with either simple designs that are constantly moving(like the DCAU) or very detailed designs that barely move except for a select budget-busting scenes(anime)

>>6304973
The Voyager has some wonky proportions that hurt articulation and weird translucent arms, but overall its more just that the FE deluxe is just too good. The Voyager is not bad, just not the better option.

>>6304980

Everything comes back to budget though. Why do you think Prime was so "empty" all the time with it's sparse backgrounds and etcetera? Budget. They didn't want to waste money modelling more scenery than they had to.

Oddly enough the current RiD's weirdly janky, stuttering animation isn't due to budget, but due to them wanting something that more resembled traditional animation. Problem is, that doesn't work so well in 3D, or if it does, it's not working so great here.

The FE has some very wonky proportions too so I wouldn't hold that against the Voyager. The FE also has a godawful backpack and terrible undercarriage bloat that no one ever seems to mention that the Voyager does not have. FE's arm slides are also shit, mine are narrow at the top so its takes a tremedous amount of force to pull them out and then they're loose at the bottom giving him floppy arms which is bullshit; but I'm not sure if that was common or if I was just unlucky
I have both and love both but honestly I feel the Voyager is the better figure of the two, but the FE is maybe a better toy.

>>6305136
>and have been hinted that Shockwave isn't dead
What's this now? I dropped the comics after that abortion of an event but if Shockwave comes back I might be interested.

Bumblebee is still alive inside Crystal City, so I guess it's assumed Shockwvae is too.

It's all about casting the plastic. It's often cheaper to cast parts in the wrong color to save on sprues, then just paint them.

>>6303538
How new are you

You know, it's pretty funny that the Rodimus head lots fantastic... on TR Voyager Prime's body. I wish I knew how to customize so I could replace the chest windows and a few other bits to make him a proper body.

>>6305167
I still want a new head for him as tyrest.

>>6305198
I would buy the fuck out of that.

>>6304885
I wouldn't be surprised if he's killed by Optimus for shock value

>>6305095
Alot of those are sick as fuck

>>6304885
You know, it just hit me they have Drift, but didn't use Bludgeon in the movies. It just feels weird since the movies are starving for named Decepticons when they still have some big guns available.

>>6305143
Lambor makes sense as a bull, given his personality. Ironhide is more defensive, he should be like a rhino or something.

Wheeljack turns almost literally into a Zoids Konig Wolf. Zoids Transformers needs to be a real thing. The rights for both are held by the same company in the US and Japan so there is nothing standing in the way.

Wow so it's just come to my realization that the first Transformers I owned were Pretenders. Now I really want them to remake that line.

>>6305264
Do you really want Transformers to die again? Pretenders followed by action masters is where you go to kill the line and I don't want another 5 years of beast wars to resurrect it again.

>>6305229
I've always found it funny that despite Leo Convoy's massive popularity for a Japan Beast Wars toy, they never give him a proper update, it's always someone else's toy with new colors.

I don't care about that. I want MY nostalgia trip!

>>6305274

I never got that impression at all.

I thought Bumblebee was just a figment of Starscream's imagination.

>>6304878
Well he was a bugatti veyron before now he'sa mercades.

The chest should be an indicator of the changes done

>>6304878
Still got a yellow face kek

>>6305285
It was shown in the latest Annual, it definitely confirms he's alive.

>>6304858
>>6304861
I can almost see it. It looks like he basically turns inside out for the most part.

>>6305264
If they can do pretenders without them just being Russian dolls that pop over the top of the actual toy, I'd be all for it.

Interchangable kibble, maybe? You've got your base robot to car, but then you switch out the car parts for beast mode parts?

Between CW and TR, player customisation seems to be a big thing in modern Transformers, so I could see Hasbro doing it.

>>6305291
I may have to re-read it. Never picked up on that.

>>6304878
He's a fascinating remold of the AoE one, his carmode shell is basically backwards from AoE

>>6305300
The last part has a zoom into the tiny black ball thing, then cuts to Bumblebee in his Goldfire body walking along the Crystal City, and you could tell he was still talking to Starscream who's nowhere near him.

It doesn't explain why he's talking to Starscream, but I'm sure I'll make sense at some point.

Okay, so...I had Starscream and Skyhigh and those, yeah, were just Russian nesting dolls.
But I also had this guy. And that seems a whole heck of a lot cooler.
In fact, I still have the actual transforming robot somewhere.

>>6305305
>and you could tell he was still talking to Starscream who's nowhere near him.
I thought he was talking to himself at that point

>>6305306
A modern version of this guy whould be so easy to make. You just need a decent looking car, a TM, and a TM Vehicle that turns into a plane, gun, and can peg at the top of the car. Done, modern Gunrunner.

>>6305317
He was bigger than Titan Masters, that I've seen anyway, though. But it would be easy.

>>6304853
All the Shellforming in AoE and TLK cars remind me of the car brothers

>>6305276

You mean like Beast Wars with 1/10th the plastic budget and 1/100th of a paint budget? Because thats what we'd get.

>>6303213
Dude, look at the box for a second. Those TF Club Subscription Service figures come in boxes that are NOT air tight. They're only sealed shut by a couple of stickers. If it's being opened after all this time, I'd be surprised if there wasn't dust on it! Unless the stickers were cut, removed, or have clearly been peeled off and reapplied, then it was MIB, regardless of dust.

>>6305347
Why should he pay out the ass for a dusty toy, collector's item or not? It's kept in poor condition, and that hardly makes it "mint".

>>6304858
This >>6305295
turned inside out. aka the laziest kind of transformation except for shell-forming.

Even more frustrating when you see all the faux-kibble parts in robots mode

This is one of the reason I really like the ROTF leader Prime and the new Masterpiece figure. There, they actually tried to make the transformation be like it's pretending to be.

>>6305523
>aka the laziest kind of transformation except for shell-forming
It looks amazing in robot and vehicle mode, I wouldn't call that lazy at all dude, it's impressive as fuck.
I think you're coming from the stand point that you'd rather the transformation take precedence over the look of the figure which I don't understand but hey everyone likes what they like.
