Old thread is on autosage. Continue here.
So it seems Minerva and Cab are getting releases as Headmasters with a boxset of Ginrai and Godbomber. What bodies will you be putting them on, /tfg/?
Old thread: >>6352106
First for Homobaticons.
>>6353845
Oh no, Quickslinger is gay! What will Silverbolt think?
>No LG Overlord announcement
Kinda disappointed considers the whole God Ginrai is finally completed just few days ago with the LG 42 release
>heads only
I don't give a fuck. Fuck this line and making shit like Scourge and Galvatron headmasters but leaving out headmaster juniors.
>>6353845
Scott doesn't know people don't care about Blast Off In Name Only. Maybe she and Warden should have released or used the real Blast Off to convince us to care.
>>6353836
FUCK I WANTED A NEW MINERVA TOY.
I WOULDA SETTLED FOR A BODY LIKE GETAWAYS.
>>6353851

Actually its not just heads only its also with another legends ginrai and god bomber.
...but yeah heads only, blame john warden for making it a line wide gimmick forcing the takara designers to make up with retools and spiffy paint jobs.
Because like it or not takara's form of cost cutting is improving on hasbro's shit, just give them a few years and we'll have mp headmasters :)
>hasbro

>meanwhile at takara...
>>6353870
This is the most polished turd I've ever seen save for some super custom MP 11 jobs. It's almost good but fuck me this kibble everywhere.
>>6353870
>Takara
>gives first version of mold a better paint job of same base figure

>third releases goes for an edgelord look much like hasbro's attempt, while referencing an obscure mp01 repaint AND with chrome
>fourth release removes the ONE principle knock against the leaderclass mold adding in again improved accessories
>only remaining knock is the price
>>6353873
That is now gone with this new version, the shield takes up the back vehicle kibble, its only the shoulders and hip skirts that are retarded
>>6353875
Bless em for trying but this design will never look good on a mainline budget. You need MP/3P budgets and parts count to make it not a shell former.
I'm not praising takara completely tonight
>mp12
>moderately toy accurate with visual cues good enough to pass as cartoon accurate
>mp12+
>downgrades paint job for "muh cartoon accuracy"
>its essentially the same but with grey tires and white over silver
Its not even that big a difference, the anime+ redeco of red alert was a pretty big change in comparison to sideswipes, I say this as a dickhead who bought a ko red alert and tracked down an anime+ version knowing I won't get scammed twice (I'm only upset because this ko actually makes mp ramjet look good, its that bad)
>>6353877
The design I'm afraid is gonna be a constant shellformer, none of the chest components remotely intergrate with the body and the leaderclass at least TRIES to use the shell for the hip and shoulder panels unlike the older premiere edition, its engineering nightmare.
The voyager looks better but its basically voyager movie galvatron (ie all shell), I'm thinking of donating both to charity out of spite
>Huge restock of Movie and TR toys at local walmart
>It's all wave one shit
>Except for the One/Three steps, which has all currently available molds
From the looks of it the back kibble works on the back of the shield, but knowing not everyone would keep the shield on the truck mode the whole time...
>>6353881
>The voyager looks better but its basically voyager movie galvatron (ie all shell)
Yeah..
>>6353884
They were nice enough to let the rear kibble remain on the truck mode, that's nifty
>>6353885
Indeed, but I sense a monkey's paw effect, my concern is shield attacked or not would the truck remain level when its all attached or would it need to be "fit" to a certain level?
Time will tell but regardless fuck hasbro's leaderclass, people here can scalp that to death
>>6353835
Might have to grab the Ginrai BBTS set afterall. Transformers are so expensive in New Zealand anyway that it really isn't much more than the equivalent set would be at retail anyway.
>>6353888
Somehow it's not funny when Takara does it.
>>6353888
>add new helmet for whatever reason
>silver spiffy rims
>overall color scheme is about the same as hasbro's minus stickers
>and faction symbols
>...still calls the gun mode a "sub"
Takara you're making me laugh too hard stahp (I still dig it but its gonna be a tough choice)
>>6353889
>No MP
>Only a few 3P renders have a surfaced and are months/years off
>3A one will be at least a year off
High quality murder sword prime when?
>>6353895
there are statues for that anon...I'm sorry.
>>6353890
What are you talking about? The shield's right there. It has the rear wheels and some of the tanks on the side.
>>6353895
Sadly product does not convert, or impervious to hot glue.
Google is being a surprising dick. How tall is TR max/metroplex?
>>6353908
2 feet.
>>6353898
...holy shit I didn't notice its under the truck kibble.
How does it work, I'm so used to seeing that shield on top of the truck hitch that it boggles my mind that it can go UNDER it unless its just components from the shield.
>>6353908
Just shy of 2 feet tall with fort max being taller only due to fat head
>>6353908
TFWiki says Plex is around 24 inches tall. Hasbro.com says Max is 22 inches.
Impressive, very nice.
Thank god, LGEX set is not about a whole new transformable cab.
>>6353911
its just simple folding on the wheels part
>>6353916
I saw that they were doing Jinrai in Magnus White. I wonder how that toy looks on the Magnus body.
>>6353916
I find your post confusing since you didn't mention that's the PerfectEffect PE PC-16 Jinrai Prime kit for the cab which turns into a deluxe sized robot
>>6353920
It wouldn't work, the Magnus cap is smaller than PMOP.
>>6353911
The shield is made up of the chunks of truck kibble that were removed from the Prime figure. It doesn't go under the hitch, it -is- the hitch, as well as the entire back half of the truck.
>>6353922
>Buy DLC to enhance your DLC enhanced DLC combined leader figure
Around the 200 burger mark you're gonna start competing with the inevitable 3P figures that will be able to do a whole lot more on an enhanced budget.
>>6353923
So I guess this is just false advertising.
>>6353931
>No Ultra Magnus power armor with little magnus in the chest
I'm curious why 3P hasn't done this yet.
>>6353927
I wish they did not tease us with Godbomber combined mode.
New PC pack wise. I wish it is just a new gun and sword add-on. With Godbomber on, the figure is cluttered already. I can' image the how much of the mess will it be with the new wings and boat loads of guns.
>>6353932
I understand not doing this for the CW, but I'm surprised they didn't do this for the MP.
>>6353845
Sex pics now, anon.
Well he's getting a Legion class figure at least.
>>6353952

>>6353952

Why are the Hot Rod toys seemingly all exclusives? Deluxe may be a TRU exclusive in a 2-pack with Bumblebee.
>Watching some reviews

And I thought youtubers are supposed to be in the know.
>>6353968
>And I thought youtubers are supposed to be in the know
Yeah, right. Most of these guys just get the toys early, and then sell them off almost immediately.
>>6353968
Huh. Are the CW pegs not supposed to go into Super Ginrai's feet?
I don't have either toy so I wouldn't know.
>>6353845
>their couple name would be "On-Off"
I feel like that's secretly the biggest reason for this.
>>6353991
SAVE MEE
>>6353968
Is this intentional?
Does anyone else not give a fuck about accuracy or canon and think that combo Headmaster/Targetmaster figures are fun as fuck? I seriously can't wait.
>>6353931
I'm sure they're compatible, just that the chest flap will have to be a new part since the original one is molded specifically for the stock cab.
I know there's an image of people swapping cabs, but I can't find it.
>>6353996
It's impressive to see how much the focus of the Generations line has shifted. Pretty much every wave over the past 10 years has focused heavily on pre-movie bots. Mostly '84-'86 characters to appease the rank-and-file geewunner. Now we're finally branching into entire waves of different stuff like the Headmaster anime bots, and post-movie stuff like Misfire and Doublecross, characters who really haven't had any representation since their original toys. Although to be fair, we did just come off of Combiner Wars, which was pretty much the biggest G1-cartoon-pandering line we've seen.
>>6353994
>Is this intentional?
I don't think so. All the promo has the heels folded in.
Almost all the problem with the God Ginrai mode is from Ginrai itself.
The ankles being pinned joints, unless you got lucky having extremely tight pins, the figure often can't even handle the weight of itself.
You can adjust it by moving the feet a bit backward so the weight is not all focusing on the back. But in the combined mode, it is the weight of Ginrai plus more.
People on 2chan ended up using the red heels along with the blue CW joints (which are really tight and strong) to support the lower legs directly bypassing the ankles.
Takara fucked up the ankles on this one, though judging from what they were dealing with- small space, narrow size. They most likely just went "annhhhhh, it's good enough for a "CHILDREN'S" toy."
Which they were right (unless you have to pay the import fee).

>>6354049
its the concept robot guy
>>6354052
I'm kinda disappointed by the visible robot kibble below the jet. It probably would've worked better as a cybertronian jet with Hasbro's current (not-ROTF-anymore) designs.
>>6354050
Reverse Duocons. They're the Ice Cream Twins.
What sizes are all these new toys?
>>6354050
More like some weird micromaster combiner.
A bit miffed it doesn't come in that predaking-esque black and red the one step does, but it's a really cool set by the looks of it.
I'm wondering what the mace knight turns into on the full guy though since The sword knight has what seems to be every ounce of kibble.
>>6354052
>with random TR compatibility??
Where?
>>6354055
holy shit how did I not realise that
I think the Shockwave resemblances threw me off
H Y P E
Unless Primus has been retrofitted with die cast parts or something how the hell are they justifying $150 for a repaint? That's three times the original retail price.
>>6354067
Damn, Primus was 50 USD?
>>6354029

I hate to say it but I wanted a primus and now I get one in a weird ass deco I for whatever reason like.

Wait is this saying that they have individual dragon modes??
>>6354070
The compatibility seems to be the look of the translucent cockpit.
That IS an interesting cross-line gimmick though. like how Armada Minicon ports/pegs keep showing up on transformers every once in a while.

Nope just clear parts and the times.
I'm the guy who keeps bragging on about buying a brand new generationsmetroplex for $88aud, convert that.

Meanwhile I paid $220 for the sdcc version like a retard just for a sword I could of gotten elsewhere, I hate collecting

...the leader generations jetfire and his remold has opening cockpits and nothing fits in there, I would say its just for "play" value unless the "flooring" specifically has mold patterns to better hug the titan master's ass.
We shall see, just because you can sit it there loosely doesn't necessarily mean DELIBERATE compatibility, but I admit your optimism is refreshing
>>6354079
Primus is a midget compared to Metroplex anyway. He's shorter than Unicron.
>>6354067
Wasn't he listed as a playset? maybe Infernicus, protoform and deluxe prime are included.
Anthony Hopkins robot?
>>6354083
>>6354083
Quite a bit of retooling going on there though. I definitely looks better than the original.
>>6354089
All these matching knights are going look great together.
>>6354078
Metal is more expensive than plastic, weather or not its used appropriately to make it worth the cost is a whole other argument.
>>6354083

>>6354087
I'm aware, been studying pictures.
Truthfully they'll just be in planetform for their entire lives which is all I would want them for, I doubt they can get any bigger, even with that masterpiece poll calling for a mp metroplex, imagine that eh...

I don't know why this is happening, but I want it. Those colors look dope af.
>>6354108
Why would it be one?

It's a pretty extensive retooling so probably not. The only things I off hand see as being exactly the same are the lower legs, upper arms, and likely the back kibble.

>>6354052
Holy.Guacamole.
>>6354099
>Metal is more expensive than plastic
Actually no. There are many kinds of metal and many kinds of plastic. Diecast is pretty fucking cheap shit, and plastic is quite pricey because it's a petroleum-based product.
>>6354143
So why aren't more toys made out of metal?
>>6354089
I want him.
>>6354129
so it kinda like ROTF Lockdown? ill take it. i missed bomber megatron anyway
>>6354080
Thank you.
>>6354145
Because
a. They rust
b. Metal toys are heavier than plastic toys, which will make it more expensive to ship product globally.

>>6354040
>>6354043
>>6354045
Wait, they said dragonstorm is a leader class figure
So like, are the individual robots leader class in size? Cause that would be awesome methinks
>>6354152
So they're not really all that much more cheaper then...as a whole are they now?
I'm quite pleased you didn't cop it out with "MUH SAFETY" like everyone else does.
>>6354154
Think Black Shadow, they'll be about voyager sized.
>>6354154
Its just like tr overlord/tr skyshadow, but instead of 2 vehicles to make one robot its 2 robots to make one dragon.
So both alone would theoretically be voyager sized but together make a leader class sized figure
>>6354154
MSRP is $50.
>>6354145
>harder to sculpt fine details in

>harder to cast in precision sizes/shapes
Because it's a pretty shitty material to make any kind of toy out of. The only thing it's really good for is toy cars, or other things that don't need articulation. Hotwheels stopped using it for most cars mostly for safety reasons. Their motorized track accelerator things basically turn them into little bullets on wheels.
I know Geewunners have been conditioned to think that their amazing childhood toys MUST be the product of a superior and more luxurious era of toy design, but no. Diecast is best used sparingly to add sturdiness to some components, like MP Prime's spine joint, or weight to feet/shins for better balance.

So do they each have their own dragon modes too? It looks like one has two of the heads, the wings, and rear legs. And the other has the other head and...the tail and back I guess?
>>6354156
>>6354158
Oh yeah, forgot about overlord/skyshadow
Eh, wished it was both leader-class sized figures, but yeah the $50 pricetag is a dead-givaway that they're likely gonna be voyager-ish
>>6354142
There looks to be a ton of space in vehicle mode, and I can see what looks like a headmaster port in robot mode, so i'm optimistic, it'd be cool to have a headmaster with a realistic car mode.
>>6354164
Yeah, it seems both of them have individual dragon modes, with the one with the swords having the two heads(judging from the hanging heads on the forearms)
I'm wondering about the combined wings though, I'm thinking it would be from just one bot, hopefully there is some way so that the wing of the other bot can combine so the combined wingspan would be bigger
>>6353913
Metroplex is taller overall because of those things on his shoulders but if you ignore those because autists say they dont count Fort Max's fat head is taller than Metroplex's.
>>6354155
Pssh, if safety was a worry Hot Wheels would have died a long time ago.
>>6354164
I assume that those are the steps to form half-dragon mode. The five final steps are just making sure the two toys are solidly locked together.
>>6354029
I like the colors, and it's nice to get a second chance at an old mold.
>>6354040
>>6354043
>>6354045
>Beastformer Duocons

>>6354049
>>6354052
I knew he was a jet.
>>6354083

>>6354089
>>6354100
Not a fan of the car, so I'll wait till he's on sale.
>>6354128
I'll definitely get him. I love collecting those molds' variants.
>>6353908
About 2 feet, to the top of their heads Fort is an inch taller, but Metro shoulder towers make him look taller.
>>6354192
>Metro shoulder towers make him look taller
He is taller overall. If you were trying to put both of these on a shelf and only had so much space Metroplex is the bigger of the two because of the shoulder things.
>>6353996
It makes me wonder why Diakron was such a bomb back in 1982. If everybody loves piloted mecha, how the hell did TF crush it along with Diaclone/Microchange?
>>6354194
I know, that picture is from my shelf, but the universal measurement "technique"(?) is to the top of the head.
>>6354200
lack of actual characters and story.
otherwise it could have been a hit.
>>6354152
>Metal toys are heavier than plastic toys,
Like that matters when they ship boxes that are 60% air. If anybody gave a God damn about shipping costs, this stuff would be packaged like Japanese G1.
>>6354206
These toys are shipped all over the world in the hundreds of thousands. HasTak would do almost anything to shave a few fractions of a cent off each figure.
So when's the new ginrai going up
>>6354204
>I know, that picture is from my shelf,
Ah ok, didn't know if you were just guessing from the pic or if it was actually yours. You've got some nice stuff.
>>6354205
So on the one hand, I'm told not liking headmasters means I don't have an imagination, and then on the other hand, that requirement is implicitly handwaved away by blaming a lack of prepackaged characters/stories for Diakron.
Anyway, it seems to me that piloted mecha come and go in the US market. Voltron, Wheeled Warriors, Robotech*, Exo Squad, MASK, Gundam*, etc. TFs had staying power. Even GoBots went for 3 years.
*I know they're big in Japan but they're absent from this market. Rangers might be an exception. Voltron just retreads every 15 years.
>>6354217
And yet...
>>6353922
It actually turns into an almost Voyager size robot. It's only slightly less taller than the original Classics Prime.
How does the TR Perceptor compare to the one released a few years ago? I'd like a Perceptor but I'm not sure which one to roll with.
>>6354228
>So on the one hand, I'm told not liking headmasters means I don't have an imagination, and then on the other hand, that requirement is implicitly handwaved away by blaming a lack of prepackaged characters/stories for Diakron.
Diaclone failed because it didn't have a story component that would draw kids in like the G1 show did. Whether a collector's toy interests are dictated by his imagination is a different matter altogether.
Also, /toy/ is not a single person.
>>6354232
If you package efficiently, you can fit 2 $20 toys in the same space as 1. That extra $5 profit on the 2nd unit should trump the 5c saved by knocking off an ounce or two.
>>6354236
RTS is an innovative update to his altmode bogged down by a shoulder/backpack assembly with very annoying locking issues.
The TR is like the G1 version with joints and a headmaster gimmick.
>>6354162
Why can't they just make metal fillings for hollow spaces in the figure? That way you can add weight without making it a vital part of the figure, don't have to paint it, and it can be removed if you don't like it.
>>6354238
Diaclone, I believe, did alright in Japan. Not super but enough to churn out a couple dozen toys. It just got dwarfed by TF's explosion.
>>6354240
It's less than that. Jinrai is 16 cm, Classics Prime is 17cm. The top of Jinrai's head will reach halfway up to Prime's forhead crest.
>>6354232
Using boxes dictated by size class ensures consistent numbers of product in every case. If you had a different box for Bulkhead than you did for Grimlock, their numbers would be uneven. It would also be a hassle for stores, because they wouldn't know how much shelf space to keep for any particular size class.
>>6354251
I suppose a actual side by side image would be the best way of telling, rather than our guestimates.
>>6354245
You're thinking like an engineer. That's wrong. Gotta think like an accountant.
>>6354222
Thanks.
>>6354236
RTS feels higher quality, but has a pretty shitty desing, the arms are part of his backpack and they don't click to the torso, at least mine doesn't, TR is way blockier, has easy transformations, everythig tabs fine on all 3 altmodes and pretty fun.

>missed TLK optimus and megatron on amiami
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>6354267
Just wait for them to show up in stores.
>>6354271
aren't they japan TRU exclusives?
my main worry is the OP, it looks much better than the hasbro version and i havent bought one in years so i was hoping to get it there
>>6354263
Eh, I'll believe it when I see it.
>>6354276
Unless you're referring to the Dark Optimus Prime that is exclusive only to TLK ticket purchases, the toys in question are unchanged from their Hasbro releases.
>>6354283
Oh, that one. That's definitely exclusive to someplace. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Leader Megatron is still unchanged from Hasbro.
>>6354289
Ah, i see. I'll have to find some way to get it then. Megatron isnt a worry since the darker shade hasbro used is growing on me, plus there wasnt really any improvements like from takara so i might just pick one up in the store.
Thanks for the help!
>>6354258
Imagine literally using pennies, that's affordable
Gee, Artfire, why does Takara give you TWO nozzle hands?
>>6353845
Starscream was great in that issue tho.
>>6354337
>starscream turning onslaught and blastoff gay
>great
Fuck off
>>6354326
This guy's entire deco is great. The body just works really well in white and the obsession over cartoon accuracy lately made me forget how great chrome, silver and painted details look.
I especially like how the hands are painted glossy black. Not sure why, maybe it makes them look like firefighter gloves or something. Unfortunately because I like the hands too much I ended up getting a copy of this guy with a blotch of white paint on his right fingertips because that's just how fate works. Hopefully it'll come off easy...
>>6354342
Gay robots was an inevitability of the franchise considering the fixation on making so many of them men and also giving them a distinctly human mindset.
>>6354342
its funny how easily triggered you types are but then you turn around scream triggered at everyone else

>>6354342
>entire species is male with less than a hanful of girls
They're gay, man, deal with it. If faggots in the eighties handnt been screaming "boys only!!!!1!!!" we wouldn't be in this mess.
>>6354347
>the obsession over cartoon accuracy lately made me forget how great chrome, silver and painted details look
I thought the same thing as soon as I got him out of the package. One of the best looking MPs in a long while. Lots of detail and color. I forgot how much I missed silver-painted faces.
I actually skipped Inferno, so getting him made me appreciate just how deceptively different his transformation is from Grapple. Lots of retooled parts.
>>6354368
This. Although I'd argue that writers should put a little more effort into it. Without the need for sexual reproduction, Cybertronian relationships shouldn't be shown in such a similar light to human ones. It should be far less romantic, and more about kinship and being soulmates. Instead most of them are just structured like your basic fanfiction/shipping bullshit.
>>6354267
HLJ had a bunch too
>>6354326
HE HAS TWO?!
I didn't even think to check...
>>6354391
Sexual reproduction is not the only reason for sensual intimacy. As long as a creature has the ability to feel something touching them and can comprehend the idea of loneliness, they likely have a need for some sort of physical input like hugging.
Blast-Off spends a lot of his time during missions off in the distance or in orbit, so of course he'll feel lonely as fuck. Having him actively crush on Onslaught and hide it because it feels weird however is an interesting take on his usual shtick.
Having Starscream exploit that to the degree he did is some pretty fucking good drama as well.

>>6354368
Nothing about the Transformers concept demands romantic relationship drama, though. It's, at its core, an action-adventure series with swashbuckling and fighting robots. It's transparent Tumblr fan pandering and doesn't lend as much to the story or the characters as the books think it does. I'm all for a bit of character drama to contextualize the adventure, but this isn't Dawson's Creek.
It's not an inevitable byproduct of the concept; it's just obnoxious writing with awkward priorities.
>>6354409
>Cogman
>Titan Master
What a time to be alive.
>>6354402
>Blast-Off spends a lot of his time during missions off in the distance or in orbit, so of course he'll feel lonely as fuck.
Theyve made this exact point about Cosmos before, its actually in canon.
>>6353881
Seeing Lambor again makes me pissed off about Sunstreaker. MPs used to fuse the cartoon heads with the toy in a nice balance. Streaker's head is Sunbow as fuck and looks incompatible with Sideswipe. Not that I want pic related either.

Anon I understand where you're coming from but fleshing out the characters is GOOD writing, you don't want to be like Costa was who argued that transformers cant possibly feel anything or ever care about anything.
>>6354424
you bastard Im never going to unsee that
>>6354409
>Titan Master
Awesome. And he seems to be a mainline release too. Megatron and Skullitron are TRU exclusives while Hotrod is a Walmart exclusive.
>>6353881
I could maybe see myself buying that but I'd want to paint the lamborghini badge, which is what I'm planning on doing with Sunstreaker. Leaving that unpainted just feels distasteful to me.
>>6354427
>Megatron and Skullitron are TRU exclusives
The Voyager or Leader Megatron?
>>6354431
The deluxe one I think
>>6354425
There's a difference between handling love and loneliness and hackneyed relationship drama that's shoehorned into a series where it's ill-fitting.
>>6354435
Well the drama does have a logical point in the issue but I think most people here aren't reading it and are only reacting to the out of context panels >>>/co/92889987
>>6354415
Nothing about the Transformers concept demands ANYTHING from them other than two robots fighting eachother, but we got a lot of memorable characters and interesting designs, because /that is what sells/
Characters you can recognize personality-wise AND visually have more staying power than something that just looks cool. It's why Diaclone failed compared to Transformers; Two robots fighting eachother is fun, but it's another ballgame entirely to care about WHO is fighting, and WHY they are fighting.
From there, as the franchise develops, it's entirely natural that they would explore different aspects of the franchise and try new things.
So with that in mind, it was indeed inevitable that this kind of stuff would happen. You give something a brain on par with a human and tell humans to write it and it WILL act like a human.
>>6354449
>Two robots fighting eachother is fun, but it's another ballgame entirely to care about WHO is fighting, and WHY they are fighting.
You can have this without relationship drama and dull cutesy slashfic wank. Many IDW books succeed in this.
If you find it compelling or an asset, more power to you. I do not. Not for Transformers, not as its been executed.
>>6354462
Sounds like current books aren't for you then.
What's the silver thing under Perceptor's chest, not the mirror, the other flap? And why does top of the waist with the slider holder/chest hinge off? He seems to have so many extra hinges.
>>6353836
Here's a quick and shitty update to the TLK list. I haven't put in pictures for the Bee & Rod packs because it's 3am.
I may just add the rest of the mainline toys to this list (meaning the Turbo Changers and tiny boys).
>>6354442
I actually did go ahead and read them. That was really interesting; I wanna read the rest of Til All Are One now.
>>6354474
Im pretty surprised someone actually read them with all the anger, good on you anon for at least giving them a shot.
>>6354473
> Bloodbath Optimus Prime
What am I even reading???
>>6354471
The silver bit flips up, it's for his undocumented G1 tank mode.
>>6354481
I've been mildly intrigued for a while since I heard that the Combaticons were major players in that book, but this Blast Off thing really got me off my ass.
>>6354089
That's just Barricade, no?
>>6354342
I don't really care for IDW and I should be resenting this because the Combaticons are my favorite combiner team but I'd rather think of the Sakamot version of the characters, I even have the UW version of Bruticus.
Starscream scheming made it a great issue, Starscream scheming is always great.
>>6354484
Oh that's just my personal designation for him.
>>6354083
>this fucking mold again
Can someone just destroy it already? Is it going to plague ever movie line ever from now on?
>>6354496
Oh shit, the weapons are transparent red so you can use them to read those...what do you even call that? Squiggly red over top of blue writing. That's actually pretty fun.
>>6353861
>Scott doesn't know people don't care...
This pretty much sums up everything she's done.
>>6354504
Right? That appeals to some serious nostalgia. I even find that particular OP mold pretty endearing. Although Fireburst OP with his awesome weapon is still the best version of it.
>>6354471
>>6354487
A better(?) picture of it. It's a little command console.
>>6354504
Holy fuck I never thought of that before
>>6354423
I love your delusional masterpiece line that doesn't exist. NO MP head had toy features, there was never any "fusion". Fuck off. Shitposter.
>>6354499
Yes. It's John Warden's favorite mold.

I'm not exactly sure if SPRINTING to my bathroom to get a bottle of rubbing alcohol and cotton balls to clean it off was completely necessary but the run made me feel better.
Meanwhile, Nightstick is pretty neat. The transformation from botlet to gun is slightly more involved than the "flip legs up, done" transformation I was expecting. I kind of wish they gave him a little pistol or something though, 3mm peg guns are in short supply lately.
>>6354560
You still have the Legends and Cyberverse class, also movie toys, or go hunt older figs you may skipped.
>>6354568
I might be mistaken since I haven't read the instructions since I got him, but I think you're supposed to only flip out the treads for the tank mode. Either way it doesn't compromise anything.
>>6354575
I flip them out for both modes. I just think it loooks better despite what the directions say. It's weird that they don't even address the tank mode even though it's a complete mode.
>>6354580
Yeah, it is weird. Then again, instructions for TF's are usually pretty poor. CW Onslaught's outright told you the wrong way to configure his shoulders for Bruticus mode.
>still no Onslaught toy
Lazerwave on suicide watch.
>>6353845
It's less I have an issue with Blast Off and Onslaught being gay so much as the fact [spoiler]it's basically a result of mindrape and any chance Blast Off had as coming off as a better character was thrown out the window by agreeing to it.[/spoiler]
Granted the lack of non-gay annoys me, because as a straight man I can't relate to gay stuff. Yes it exists, but none of it's in focus.
>>6354587
Okay so spoiler tags don't work here. Fuck.

Man, this looks so, so much better than that one-step one. Thank Primus I don't have to get that now.

Anyone know anything about the MP Barricade supposedly being cancelled?
Apparently on the Spain Amazon page where we first saw that it was going to be a thing it now says cancelled or some bullshit?
>>6354473
Wait, Abominus 2.0 comes with a tiny Quintessa? Is there a picture of her?
>>6354656
>Is there a picture of her?
There is but she's so tiny in it all you can see is a little blur. I'd post the pic but I didn't save it since it was basically useless.
>>6354644
They put the listing up early and just took it down. I highly doubt it's cancelled.
>>6354134
Clobber.
>>6354342
Starscream didn't turn anyone anything. There wasn't female robots in their society for over 4 million years, Blastoff being in love with Onslaught is only gay by human standards you autist.
>>6354675
Them being gay isn't the issue.
Forcing Onslaught to love him with the mental equivalent of a date rape drug is.
>>6354678
Robots don't have consent laws. They are born to die.
>>6354678
Ok but that's not what's being talked about here.
>>6354683
They were already gay.
Starscream forced Onslaught to have feelings for someone through mind-rape. Thats just disturbing. Like, cult brainwashing, Stockholm Syndrome disturbing.

>>6354704
>the same season 1 and 2 g1 characters over and over again
Horseshit. We barely got that many repeat characters in Classics until Combiner Wars started.
>>6354560
Dude, with Titan Return we've had new figures for characters who have only had either their original figure or, at best, a botcon exclusive retool.
>>6354694
I don't know why people insist reading that shit.
If they really love the medium that much they could go read european or japanese comics and avoid capeshit for like two decades before getting tired of european and japanese shit.
Just don't read the meme books and you'll be fine.
>>6354560
As long as they make good toys I couldn't give less of a shit.
Actually, they should outright avoid every first and second season robot that doesn't lend itself well to crazier gimmicks.
>>6353970
This, they usually just show it off on cam.
Guys like Chefatron comes to mind, he's the fucking worst when it comes to it. He'll just get toys early for the views and put up a video asap without any preparation WHATSOEVER.

>>6354704
Theres always gonna be some figures around because they drive the entirety of TF's. Theres always gonna be a Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, etc. Also the last two lines were filled with a ton of literally who's and guys who haven't gotten toys in ages. It's a good time to be a TF fan, relatively speaking. Complaints about quality aside (which are true in a lot of cases, but you can blame penny pinching execs for that shit), we're getting a pretty wide variety of 'bots for a long time now.
Okay, I just bought all the good figures from the wave 4 of Titans Return.
Which one should I open first?
>>6354722
Whoever you enjoy the most.
Combiner Wars Devastator, yay or nay?
>>6354730
The UW is better overall, if you can't get that one then I would save up for a 3P Devy.
>>6354730
Nay.
>>6354730
If you can get it and the DNA kit for cheap then yes.
If not no, just get a 3P.
>>6354730
Combiner Wars is not worth it. No elbows on Scrapper or Longhaul, no Devastator shoulder ratchets, no extra weapons for the constructicons, and no flip-out visor. UW is decent if you can get one for ~160 freedom tickets, but good luck getting it for that price.
Either way, the DNA add-on is a must. It makes it my definitive Devastator.
>>6354040
AW YEA!!! DUOCONS!!
>>6354735
>No knees
>>6354492
Nope, I believe it's the AoE Concept Bumblebee (the one TLK wave one bee is a repaint of) transformation scheme. Dat Heavy retooling mane.
>>6354631
What happened with perceptor's 3rd mode from being delisted was that the middle tab under the silverpiece that flips up is supposed to allow the robot to stand. The first run figures have the tab be too thick and therefore does not allow the figure to lock securely in place and for that reason alone they scrapped any mention fo the tank mode. The tab is supposed to fit inbetween the two legs of the titan master.
>>6354735
>Can someone post the fanmodes?
I had no idea there were any fanmodes for him.
>>6354753
>DNA Kit?
Upgrade kit for CW/UW devastator. It adds new shoulder joints, a head with swappable faces and light up eyes, better-proportioned forearms and articulated hands.
>>6354029
Fuck, I'm getting that is nice.
>>6354744
I'm not against it for the size, but moreso the engineering sacrifices needed to get that size. All the hollow bits, lack of moving parts, and Long Haul are just tragic.
Still, it has a great aesthetic. All the third parties except Fans Toys have a cool neo classics look, but I prefer UW for a generations stand in. My preferred Devastator overall has to be pic related.
>>6354763
The limbs look not bad but that head looks like shit (imho). How much does it go for?
>>6354776
60 claps. Also, that's the first prototype head. The final design looks way better, especially his angry scowl face. Vangelus did a great review of the set, so see if you think it's worth it.
https://youtu.be/BWBsO-OVmTY
>>6354753
I can't speak on behalf of the set personally, you'd have to rely on others here or other online reviews, but there is one set that can be had for about the same retail as CW/UW:

>>6354839
I haven't seen the checklist since Wave 2, if anyone has a fully updated version with all of the stuff that'd be nice. I don't even know which wave Seaspray is supposed to be part of, and some guys have him already.
When's Roadhauler?

Not yet.
So what could be on wave 6?

Crosshairs - Kup repaint
Pointblank - Hot Rod repaint
Sureshot - Blurr remold
Voyagers-

>Snapdragon - Astrotrain remold
I can't picture this.
Putting an inquiry out to anyone interested in responding.
I have a friend who went on a trip and picked up LG Ravage for me as a present. Agesthreeandup are running a sale through the 3rd where if you buy LG Soundwave, you can choose to get Laserbeak or Ravage as a free add-on. Is this something to go for, or instead aim for the TR version + reprolabels? Or to pass altogether for already having the Hasbro MP? Looking for purchase opinions only, not on the tape decks themselves -- that discussion has been had.
>>6354898
Pass for the MP since you already have the MP apparently.
>>6354867
Nightbeat....and then Hasbro can release Minerva in a box set.
Please. ;_;
>>6354031
>Cybertronian Optimus
>Deluxe(?) trilogy Prime
I missed out on both of these, so if they're getting a new release, I'd be fine with it.
Who is that in the bottom right? It almost looks like Lockdown.
>>6354898
I suppose that really just depends on how much you'd like to have compatible toys.
I think you'd be better off just skipping LG Soundwave and Laserbeak considering you already have the infinitely better MPs. I wouldn't bother with them unless you'd really like a Soundwave that can hold your Ravage.
>>6354909
Just saw
>https://tfwiki.tumblr.com/post/161316801152/transformers-the-last-knight-preview-walmart

Are you under the assumption that cybertronians and organics are the same species? because you shouldn't use words you don't know the meaning of.
>>6354415
The Legend-class Seaspray figure has his G1 cartoon waifu's name inscribed on his arms in Cybertronian.
Just saying.
>>6354867
I'm so done with the bumblebee repaints and the shitty memecons with worthless materials and shit for molds, just fucking release Eject already so I can be done with the fucking legends.
>>6354864
Man, every time I look at Grapple I find new places where the paint rubbed off. Why do yellow and orange paints always have to be such shit.
>>6354948
Powerglide did it years ago.
>>6354948
That doesn't really change my point, though.
That figure is amazing, too. Easily a highlight of the entire TR line for me.
>>6354926
I wonder how would TR megs look for Apeface's ape mode. He has those big arms thin legs proportions.
>>6354960

Is it going to be fixed, or is it just "lol here he is again as a slot filler"?
>>6354499
If it makes you unhappy, then I hope it does.
>>6355284
No information.
>>6354785
I want a Prowl head
>>6355289
Damn. Guess I'll have to wait and see. I already own a Weirdwolf, but if they fixed this one, I wouldn't mind going in for a second just to get one that isn't broken through no fault of my own.

Can Mixmaster hold the Devastator gun?

""""voyager""""
>>6353675
He is of course absolutely right. I wonder who decided to make Blast Off a space shuttle in the first place, rather than an A-10.
>>6353834
I know I do. They missed their opportunity to use him as a Thunderwing premold.
Then again, this means they MIGHT be saving the Stormbringer for Power of the Primes...
>Thunderwing is the Big Bad for PotP
>Because he has the Matrix Affinity
>So he's technically sort of a Prime
>>6353888
"Submarine"? That's clearly just his gun mode, upside down.
>>6355391
Sup, slowpoke.

>TFW Menasor should be the smallest combiner by far
>Even if you include mass displacement, since they all do that
>>6355403
Seriously. Say they increase about a factor 10 in mass when they combine, so every length vector is a little over twice as long. He'd still be only about 20 meters tall. If that.
I just bought TR Twinferno then THIS shows up. First impression is that the red plastic is a very bright shade, close to TR Ptero's red. I'll unbox later, getting some food.
>>6355410
Aw nice! I hope he's good.
If it needed any more confirmation...
>>6355441
Looks like Tailgate.

you should try it here anon, it's great.
>>6355255
Legends Crankcase and Fulcrum? Really, though?
