I agree about with wanting to incorporate the vehicle i to the robot design. The thingis the movie designs, especially the AOE ones, were made with virtually no consideration on how to incorporate the altmode into the robot.

The reason almost every movie toy has to flip out of kibble is because there's no physical way to actuall transform in a way that would put even a small portion of the alt mode kibble on the robot. It's a flaw of the source rather than the figure.

I wish these movies had actual toy designers to make the robots. Every time I see a mess of scrap metal float from a maelstrom of nonsense into an indistinguishable robot, I get sick.

>The thingis the movie designs, especially the AOE ones, were made with virtually no consideration on how to incorporate the altmode into the robot.
I know. it's part of the reason I find ROTF leader Prime so impressive.

It's also why I dislike the new design so much. They do not translate well into toys.

>>6305682
KO company uses the Hasbro molds and either sells them repainted or adds minor/major additions to the mold for improvement.

OP's pic however is not a KO improvement but it's just made by a KO company who made a slightly modified LC Brawl and ROTF Megatron with articulated limbs

>>6305718
So, is this Bonecrusher an improved mold like Brawl or a KO?

>>6305724
Nope, 3P new mold. OP fucked up and used 3P for a mainline general.

Correct. How often do people want new toys of characters who have had little to no fiction exposure just because they were rare, or look cool? Happens ALL the fucking time.

>>6305961
>>6306046
Especially Bayformers, who have next to zero character development. With geewun stuff, you can usually find a random comic or at the very least the original toy bio that injects some personality into the bots.

One of the earliest Christmases I can remember.

I liked that figure, but I remember being abit bothered that he didn't exactly look like in the cartoon and that his fists weren't really part of the transformation.

It's why, years later, when I stubbed upon the existence of MP1 came out I was blown away and wanted to get it immediately. MP1 Optimus Prime is what got me back in the fandom.

>>6306330

This was my first too. Racking my brain, I genuinely think these were probably my first ever transformers. I still have them, although I'm missing one of Optimus' sabers.

>>6306380
I played with them too hard as a kid and the springs no longer work properly, so they're stuck mid transformation. Same with my Rattrap.

>>6306330
Technically, Beast Was Optimus, if you meant Prime, then RID was my first.

I think I may have owned a G2 Laser Prime, but I can't remember that well.

Anyone know what the molded numbers on Fastlane's left leg mean? I have 3, but only two have the same numbers, the other has different numbers.

>>6306408
I don't get why rubber pointy bits have to be a thing. That shit'll poke your eye out or dent your wall just as hard as regular plastic, only with the added benefit of ensuring your toy will break in about 4-5 years

>>6306330
Optimus... Minor. Unfortunately.

>>6306410
Then there's the fact that it's not consistent. The new Megatron and Optimus don't have rubber nosecones, yet most of the CW jets did for no reason.

>>6306052
And yet Bayformer Optimus has had more character development and personality than anyone in G1?

>>6306424
Kids could throw the plane around to it looks like it's flying, and could poke someone's eye. The kid would have to be a retard to do that, but that's the reason. Why not add those to the new Optimus and Megs? Cost cutting.

Jewing won over rubber.

RIP in peace the vietnamese he's shooting at

I used to watch emgo but he praises every figure and hardly ever complains about anything. Good for him that he's enjoying his toys, but I expect more from my figures as costs rise and the plastics get thinner and crappier.

Maybe it's just me, but I could see TLK Sqweeks being repainted as G1 Wheelie.

Could be an interesting take on the character.

>>6306447
Thew is probably the only one I watch for pure entertainment value.

I usually go to Emgo to see a good preview of something I'm interested in or might buy, but I don't really listen to him because >>6306492

This bad boy right here.
It's amazing the ignorance of a child, because when I got him, despite watching the tv show all the time, I still never noticed the colours were different.

>>6306551
not official but its easy and doesn't take any modding, the back just pops right off.

>>6306551
Man, despite his flaws, I kind of want him but not for 20 and certainly not in the colors he comes with.

I'll probably wait for the Decepticon pack since he's almost certainly included along with voyager megatron.

>>6306551
It comes off easy enough and you can kinda get it to stay on his arm loosely, but it causes stress marks at the clear plastic attachment point and im worried it will break after a few times being pulled on and off, and that's a shame, because i like it as a shield and how he looks with out it stuck to his back. Might mod it.

>>6306602
I also had this, albeit the original release with accurate colors. I'm not a fan of the brick leg trailer with the shitty base gimmick, but optimus is solid, and when the super mode has an actual set of legs via jetfire it's a really solid figure. Sparkplug is also a really great design, way ahead of it's time imo.

Will we ever get a show accurate/masterpiece release of this prime with actual legs for the super mode? I don't really collect transformers anymore, but I would pay any price to have a decent version of this design.

>>6306733
There's a good chance; it came in second or third in the fan-Masterpiece poll a few years ago.

>Thew is probably the only one I watch for pure entertainment value.
I've always liked him, but he's been going downhill. He's trying too hard now, and he's way too scripted. I liked him better when he was clearly just spewing out thoughts, then editing the best ones together.

Also, in his recent TR Voyager Megatron review, I was kind of irked that he defended Megatrons horrific, bland gray plastic, but then complained that the face lacked definition, which is a symptom of the bland, gray plastic.

>>6306447
They're all fucking trash. Autistic manchildren who make 20 minute long videos about shitty retail toys, and blather on and on about nothing anyone gives a fuck about. I also find I can't trust any of them, because I always end up liking toys that people hate and vise-versa. If I need a closer look at a toy, I'll just look up some hi-res pictures.

>>6306990
So beautiful.

>>6307082
His opinions aren't incompatible. You can think unpainted gray on the body works fine while still thinking the face could've used paint for definition. I feel the same way about the figure myself -- the face is the one letdown.

>>6306990
>TRANSFORMING WHEELS
>EXTRA GUN AND KNIFE
>REMOVABLE HELMET

>>6307131
He could have at least acknowledged it. He says the gray plastic is fine, but to bring up the issue with the face is to admit the plastic has a shortcoming, which is that it washes out sculpted details. The way Thew talks about it, he seems to think the face sculpt itself is at fault, which would really be weird, because Hasbro has been all about nailing face sculpts in the past few years, with some exceptions.

And he also states that Megatron is gray. Is this a recent thing? I always saw Megatron as silver, not gray. I thought this was widely accepted as fact.

>>6306990
Are there any obviously ways to tell which ones are the first run and which ones are the fixed reissue?

I'm mixed about him.

But, anon, I think you have some explanation to do about that filename...

>shipped a month ago
>still in transit
I think I'm done with BBTS. I bought this one on clearance, but throw in international shipping and they screw me on price every time. And it takes forever to actually get my thing.

It shouldn't take a month for a package to fly across the Pacific, when a passenger plane can do it in 13 hours.

>>6307258

The worst thing I can probably say about Skullface is the guy probably jacks off in the paint department of Home Depot.

Other than that, probably my favorite reviewer because he actually criticizes things rather than going "Well, it's a piece of shit that falls apart if a fly farts within 3 rooms of it, 9/10 must buy.".

>>6307267

I don't think BBTS has any control of shit once it leaves their hands, bro. You need to take your shit up with whatever postal service obviously threw your package into the ocean and didn't give a fuck.

>>6305950
He gets more attention in the original novelization of the film, both in the bumblebee fight, and in the highway chase that featured him for a split second in the film before focusing only on bonecrusher. There's a reason we never saw him again right after bonecrusher transformed. Barricade fought and died as well in that scene, but was cut, probably due to budget issues. To this day, it's a glaring plothole, that pisses me off.

>>6307133
Not to mention dirt cheap for what you get in terms of size and quality. They need to make more heavily retooled KO's, they're sooo much cheaper to create and produce for them, and the savings come back to us!

>>6307284
They should've used barricade in the opening scenes of ROTF, and killed him off then instead of creating a new character, to only be killed off 30 seconds later. Would've been some nice closure.

>>6307298

You can only say this about Bayformers. Not all Transformers fiction is that shit.

>>6307290

I wish Titans Return would get KO'd with improvements. I know they're upsizing all the deluxes but I don't know if anything else will be done. Some just need a few design fixes, gaps covered, plus some articulation added and they would be fantastic.

>>6306510

>>6307390
KO's have always been discussed civilly, but it is weird that noone's shitposting over 3P OP BC, likely because 3P Bayformers is so rare that everything seems like KO and customs.

>>6307395

>Direct knockoffs/upscales/downscales/Improved KO's are okay

>But 3P TF's are chink shit reeeee muh HasTak

What is the logic behind this?

>>6307397
KOs are hasbro molds and usual discussions is about whether ebay sellers are selling legit. The 3P Bayformers were KO improvemtns and honestly I don't know where they stand.

3P has its own general and thus gets violent reactions from either purists or loyalists.

>>6307397

It's usually the opposite so I have no idea. KO's are getting to the point where they're better than the real thing so who knows.

3P stuff upgrades are usually okay but figures that have official counterparts usually get sour grapes if it looks good or made fun of if it looks like crap. Movie stuff is a new novelty I guess.

>>6307407
>>6307408

What about the Weijang style KO's that refurbish a mold so much it's practically a new thing? Is that 3P then? Why even have two threads? Why not just have Transformers Toys General?

>>6307413
It will trigger the snowflakes. And that would be bad.

90% of 3P shitposting usually stem specifically from MP vs. 3P pissing contests.

E.g., pointing out the fact thay MP Megs and MP Shockwave are grossly inferior compared to their third party counterparts will instantly send Takaracucks foaming at the mouth.

1. The shitposting would destroy all discussion because Transfaggots can barely keep it together with Hasbro vs Takara.

Pics at some cons plus the one from the transformers instagram, its got a supposed cheap dry brush effect that looks like they let a 2yr paint it.

And from some of the obscure con pics its the original AOE mold that hasbro used (not the retooled takara version) with LESS chrome.

After I tightened the hips on him I really don't have much problem with my Shockwave's legs. For how top-heavy he is they really should have known better than to use friction joints for hip joints. The knees suck anyway though.

And I always thought they nailed the color on him if you want cartoon accuracy but it seems most people are after toy colors for Shockwave.

I personally think 3p IS FINE provided its in context, ie what mp36 could borrow from some of the 3p megatrons to "improve" it not "HUR DUR THIS ONE IS BETTER" or just straight up talking about 3p without any mentioning of official stuff.

The ko stuff is another grey line but again depends ie "is xxx ko from this chinese ebay seller safe or do I avoid" and the weijang stuff could count depending on the product ie mpp10 and other upscaled variants from them can be discussed provided its a scale issue someone is asking about ie "i want my mp10 as big as mp01" but nothing oc-ish like their take on megatron (which is a true 3p, its simply too big and not borrowing from anything unless we're talking about what it COULD lend to mp36).

Or to make things easier keep 3p talk to ko stuff, warning people of potential ko's (so official fags don't get salty because who'd want to pay full rrp for something you can get at a quarter of the price yet you got a defective piece of shit from some cunt of a deceiving seller) and "alternatives" (like evasion mode prime too small>go get the weijang)

Its the Australian transformers forums (google "oz transformers, first listing), they have all the legal requirements for owning any of the gun megatrons there if you are in the right state/have the coin.

>traveling to america
>bring home a possibly restricted import

While that dude got lucky its a higher risk, if they catch it in your luggage I HIGHLY recommend you play stupid and let them trash it, don't pull it apart or leave it in botmode (people tried that with pic related, didn't go too well back in the day, mp05 and mp36 come in botmode anyway) as it just means you're highly aware of the nature of it.

You're better off just playing stupid and bring it via luggage or ship it straight to your place, but if you can get it cheaper in the US then shoot, but mind you I'm no lawyer and the forum I mentioned highly recommends NOT to keep it as luggage.

I'm just seeing what premium collectables is doing, had a 10% off voucher and got him for $200, problem is they also have a whole truckload of other shit I po'd off them including mp primal so...I may of lost money unless this month they pull off a miracle.

TLDR play stupid if they catch you, unless you're in WA, in which case you lucky mother fucker

Back kibble and upper arm kibble are really his only problems. And maybe his stocky proportions if you aren't felling them. His arm and back pieces both can pop off really easy if you just want to pose around with him.

I've had my eye on this fella for a little while.

>>6306330
Pic related was my first Optimus. Great robot mode (minus the back kibble), but his altmode sucks. Those articulated fingers make up for it, though. He's got some fantastic poseability. Still wouldn't mind an updated Transmetal-like Primal some day. But the current toyline is too obsessed with cartoon accuracy. I just want good toys!

Got FOC Optimus Prime not long after, wasn't impressed with him either. It's so small, I can't see how it counts as a Deluxe. His head's the size of the nail on my pinky finger. Tiny.

>>6308379
How can you hate that gorilla mode? It's most well-articulated gorilla and I think he looks great.

The wide eyes and aesthetic focus on curves throughout the shape of the skull and facial features are meant to imply youth.

You see a lot of similar design in TFPrime's Bumblebee.

>>6308010
I'm fully expecting a 3P upgrade kit that rectifies this. I'm happy that the roof comes off, but it really needs a proper handle for Barry to hold on to.

The problem is it instead implies some kind of deformed skullface. He almost looks like a Warhammer 40k Chaplain.

>>6308105

Hopefully Takara will provide.

Then again, I'm still waiting for a redeco of Alpha Trion that becomes Victory Leo, so I could be waiting a while.

>>6308292
I really love the Camaro altmodes, but that head, man. Not muh Bumblebee.

He'd make a perfect Goldbug, though.

>>6308383
Mostly because it doesn't actually look like a gorilla.

If they did something about the colours (or lack thereof) and changed the gorilla face a little, he'd be my favourite Primal by far.

He just looks like a guy with a bushy beard to me.

Badly enough, this guy. I never even bothered to get anything better for my Murderprime so he's still on my shelf, even.

I'm totally getting MPM4 to replace him though, but it'll be weird putting him away after a decade.

>>6308474
Even though he doesn't look much like the movie model, that's still a cool figure. A lot of movie 1 figures hold up as toys, even if they aren't perfect replicas

>>6308407
>>6306209
>>6307656
I got a grey one of these friends from an expo, his head is on a very tight ball-joint and prefers to look slightly to his right rather than being centered. How can I fix this, and who is he? He's grey and purple and his head looks like Tarantulas.

>>6308474
His transformation is accurate to the scene when Optimus gets into the city and transforms and does that flex pose.

>>6308379
He'd be better if he was Transmetal colour accurate.

>>6308482
But what is the significance?

Prototype parts?

>>6308478
Yeah it's a pretty good toy, that massive backpack is really never a problem and the arms have really good articulation

>>6308493
Proto and unreleased parts. Being the communicator from that one episode.

Live in Qld so I was thinking I could get away with it.
I am also content if I never get him, i'm not on some sort of binge and absolutely have to collect all of the Masterpiece figures.

I washed my recently-acquired Kreo b/c they were used

Put them in a tin and filled it with soap water, rinsed a few times and I'm toweling them out

They have some grey stains/residue that seens to wipe off, is that just moisture or is it dust? Looks like the sort of weird grey stuff you get from washing stuff, but I rinsed them 3-4 times

Y'know, I always thought the fire convoy mold would make a good Soundwave.

> Use light up feature.

>>6307494

Nope read the instructions again. It clearly shows the slide on parts.

>>6307543

The back piece hinges are what scuffs the sides of the head so if you do that step before sliding it past his noggin it won't scuff. Of course you can always just file that shit down so you never have to worry about it again.

Can someone post the kickback fix please?

>>6308312
>Best deluxe Barricade mold.
Would you say he's really better than any of his other releases?

>>6308618
A bit of bias since Barry only has one mold of his new form but I think because his gettup is the most police motif the TFverse has had, TLK Barricade is better, even with the unintentional riot shield.

I just realized, can you even roll the Sixshot tank mode without the chest getting in the way? It doesn't' seem possible for the tiny wheels could work.

>>6308637
Was asking because everyone in thread keeps talking about Barricade and now I want one I guess and was wondering if the new one would be the best way to go. I kinda like the looks of the HA one but its fucking expensive now.

>>6308660
I'm waiting for a slightly better repaint for Barricade. I can go for the kibble on his back but his grayed parts with white weapons is just boring to look at, not to mention the slapped-on police on his shoulders seems cheaply done.

The sad part is we might get a better painted one in the future but replacing "PUNISH AND ENSLAVE" with HAIL MEGATRON"

Nitpicking tho

If you want something with good engineering you'll want the HA Barricade. I think people are over-hyping TLK barricade because of the novelty of the design.

And yup, pretty much any HA toy is expensive as hell now since most of them are considered to be the best versions of their characters.

>>6308683
>I'm waiting for a slightly better repaint for Barricade.
I was really hoping we'd get a perfect Voyager scale one but I think that's a dream atm.

>>6308687
Yeah the HA one was my first pick but I was hoping the new one was at least close enough in quality that I wouldn't have to cave and fork up the money for the more expensive one.

It's an old timey radio, dude.

So chances are we might be getting a third Overlord repaint since the two remaining box sets are also coming with leaders and the only leader molds left that have not been used are Blaster's mold and Overlord.

I dunno what guy they could repurpose using Overlord's mold.

>>6308770

Guessing whatever the Blue Blaster is called, and maybe Black Soundwave are possibilities for box sets.

>>6308362
Over dramatic much?

>>6308010
this reminds me of the old hot shot boxing gloves

>>6308770
One of them will be Apex Bomber.

>>6308472
Generations Dreadwing, released in 2013. There's a Megatron version of the mold, along with Krok in a Botcon release.

>>6308868
>mold degredation
What is that?

>>6308871

Molds are big metal blocks that they dump the plastic into. With enough use without retooling, the mold degrades, which causes the plastic parts to come out too tight, not tight enough, the wrong shape, tolerances to be off, etc.

>>6308530
Could be dust left over from the rinsing. You need to scrub them with an old toothbrush. Or, it could be dried semen.

>>6308687
Novelty goes a long way for me. Whenever I look at a new toy, I ask myself, "Am I really gonna buy ANOTHER robot that turns into a car?" Most of the time, this causes me to give up on the purchase because the toy just doesn't stand out enough. TLK Barricade passes the test though.

It's quite fun to use his brass knuckles to ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA a piece of styrofoam.

>>6308592
Does no one have this?

If you have issues getting the shoulder to lock in robot mode, shave the side of this rectangular tab touching the purple rotating part.

If I had the guy I'd probably stamp his knuckles on every fruit I could find. If I were a kid, I'd abuse the fuck out of every clay doh I had.

There were about 5-8 pages of people talking shit about how awful it was, and the creator throwing a huge shitfit and acting like a baby, but those pages were removed by the mods. My fake praise post is still there, but my actual criticism and argument with the creator are gone though.

>>6308878
That's not a massive issue anymore, since the figures are designed in 3d and the prototypes printed, they can remake the molds perfectly.

I honestly had no idea the flap could fit down until I saw this post. Never thought his head could be moved out of the way. Thank you for REEEEEEing.
