hahaha I love the headmaster gimmick xD

astrotrain is totally a better toy now because I can put the little unpainted robot sitting in the nonsensical block in his alt mode!!! even though i can't even see the robot sitting there this totally adds a ton of playability wow

the fact that his head is a box shape that looks ugly and isn't accurate doesn't matter, it totally better because the unpainted robot can sit in a stupid block in alt mode!!! xDDD

Wow that combined mode is really top heavy. I am not seeing it able to stand for those who got weak feet. But It should not be a problem if you move the crotch and the knee joints around if ankles are good.

Though being a a partformer, I would have some parts of body go toward reinforce the ankles instead of just all hanging off the back.

Good. I really hate all the wasted plastic on stupid, specific accessories we've been getting lately, like the cradle for Inferno to hold Red, or the alternate, bland, cartoon-accurate bumpers. Seriously, if anyone uses those over the chrome ones, they should be shot. Accessories should be a couple of extra faces and then weapons or shit. Nightstick looks amazing.

Don't worry, they'll make another version of astrotrain. They'll never make headmasters again, though. Like characters like Sideways from shows that aren't G1? Go fuck yourself, kid. Transformers is for 40 year olds.

After seeing a video, it seems the Godbomber helmet isn't connected to anything like the other leader class helmets, it's completely detached from the toy, only having storage on the cannon and the back in God Ginrai form. The sword also seems to come in two parts, for some reason.

Yeah, but it being detached in package didn't mean anything since they've done that before with Soundwave (his ramps were detached, despite Blaster having them normally attached), but yeah, still weird.

Except there's an extra letter. Maybe it was spelled Alanna? It's hard to match them to what google shows me when I search for Cybertronian glyph fonts, but the pattern checks out if they spelled it that way.

Also I couldn't get a picture of it because it's so fucking tiny my camera won't focus on it.

You guys know the effect of nostalgia and how to satiate it better than me, what's the best way to get a figure from your childhood line-up back? Getting the exact same figure or getting an updated/upgraded version?

Watch God Bomber be the leader for the 3rd or 4th gift set.

I just reorganized my CHUG collection which I've been collecting since the start of classics. I've got a complete collection of all the mass retail figures and it was only until Prime Wars did they finally make enough G1 figures where I could start displaying them in waves like the original G1 catalogue.

They really need to make Predaking and the Seacons happen. The Autobots almost have their whole 4-5 year run made in some form and the cons are severely lacking.

They also need to put out a new Double Dealer with a proper bird mode.

The Legends version is impossible to find at this point, since you'll have to shell way too much cash for it. Your best bet to own the mold is to get the Cybertron Boxset coming out in a few months (it's a BBTS exclusive, but you'll probably be able to get it cheaper in a few months). There's a few color differences with the boxset version, but the mold is the same.

I still don't know why Hasbro doesn't expand their own online store. They have several big, rabid fanbases for several IP's that want stuff ASAP, but their own net store barely carries anything, and what it does carry is usually shit no one wanted from 2 lines ago.

Why would retailers bother stocking Hasbro products if hasbro sells it first on their site?

That's the reasoning

>>6346802
To be fair, dealing with retailers might be a safer business model than dealing directly with penny pinching collectors and penny pinching parents.
Does anyone here even buy Hasbro stuff without using discount coupons or before a sale?
>>
how does takara keep winning? it's not fair has/bros/.
>>
>>6346827
Smaller market that lets them focus on collectors more than kids.

Hasbro is more focused on the larger child market over the smaller collector base so they are able to put out lower quality versions of figures that they work with TakaraTomy with.
>>
>>6346829
>buy $90 version of $45 toy with minimal remolds
>then buy $40 addon kit for $90 toy
>still ends up looking worse than any upcoming 3P offering because it was based off a $45 toy, while still costing as much as a 3P toy

Still don't understand how this is acceptable, especially for the price. Takara should've just concentrated on an actual MP PM Prime.
>>
>>6346829
>collectors
kek
You people would kill you parents for extra paint apps, which is at most what Takara does well most of the time. Sculpt, engineering, and the budgetary constraints for those are shared by both Hasbro and Takara.
Fuck, Ginrai and Run DLC are going to be released in the west so they had to be wary of the same autistic limitations Hasbro puts on their releases, and even when they were "designed for collectors" they still look like children's toys.

The feet still mess him up. It's dissaponting, since the reason they combine that way at all is mostly due to not altering the orientation on Ginrai's feet wheels.

If those weren't there, they could have made Ginrai's ankle combine completely with the extension, instead just sitting on top of it.

There's no winning in that picture. At least the Hasbro Powermaster Optimus is its own toy (and capable of standing by itself) who doesn't need an equally pricey accessory.

Different people have different expectations I think. Whats fine for some people isn't for others. I know I prefer more extreme articulation over sacrificing stuff for sculpt.

They're Titanmasters, though, not Headmasters.

I doubt they would use the recent CW one as a base, since they are often about making things more source accurate, and that set has some strange compromise between Leozak's vehicle mode and Deathsaurus' beast mode, just so they could re-use Sky Lynx for the core component. That and it's missing a whole bot. Might as well just make a brand new toy at that point.

Will this faux metal gear have a toy?
>>
>>6347361
So far, nothing. If this was the first film or ROTF, I'd almost certainly get turned into a transformer for the toyline like they did for random vehicles that showed up in the first two films, but after the last two, it's not looking good.

>>6346939
is it can be adjusted to be like that or you need to mod it ?

>Hasbro's distribution has been fucked ever since Wave 3 or 4 due to this sudden "Walmart commands, I obey!" shit going on, at least, if you believe the rumors of Walmart telling Hasbro to delay retailers from selling anything so they can sell it first.
sup newfag?

This is how their model has been since at LEAST 2007.
Everytime distribution is brought up at conventions, they've been giving the same spiel since i first started attending Q&A panels.

That's really tempting me to buy them both.
>>
>>6347361
why would it? I doubt cogman or any of the "warformers" would get one either, we've seen the entire toyline already, all that is possible from now onward is redecos and head swaps of knights by takara.

Distribution has been fucked up a long time, yes, but the online embargo is new with Titans Retrun.

Not what triggered Gearshift?

>>6347371

that explains why my Wal-Mart gets most new figures first if they do.

>>6347403
I haven't bought any Titans stuff... now I want all those bits...

Around here Meijer seems to get things first. Sometimes Walmart, but not usually.

I still haven't found Perceptor or Quake yet.
