I don't even like trains but I wish we had more train 'bots. And a CW of that train combiner. I mean, c'mon, an entire combiner where every limb could've been the same mold should've had Hasbro's bean counters beating their meat to produce

>>6377305
>entire combiner where every limb could've been the same mold should've had Hasbro's bean counters beating their meat to produce

What is RID combiner force?

>>6377334

Hell, if they really wanted a 'con mold re-use of Raiden, they could've made the combiner body be Astrotrain with some OC train limbs, and called him Megatrainer or some shit.

>>6377305
Trains are not popular in America and most of the world.

>>6377360

Now that Takara are doing their transforming train bots in their Plarail line, it's almost a sign that they will no longer sneak in the odd trainformer into official Transformers. Let's just hope that they get more ambitious with Shinkalion and make them more articulated.

>>6377371

>I don't care what would be popular, I care about getting varied designs and neat concepts.

>>6377371
Are Bombshock and Shrapnel popular in Britain too? They are my favorite Insecticons.

>>6377287
I think the deluxe isn't until wave 3 or later, sadly.

>>6377048
Certainly not an official one. But at this point, that list includes "just about every non-G1 design ever"

I'm liking the marketing for this movie so far. Much more focus on the Transformers themselves

Just on Taobao so far, I'd personally wait a bit until reputable stores put him up. They're voyager sized.

Do you REALLY want him though? That head kinda bothers me. I also don't like their fake-faction-symbols. Prefer if they just left it blank.

Personally I'm keeping my TR one because its issues aren't a big deal to me. I'll just pray the rubber doesn't melt on me.

Opinion
>Less attempts at accuracy, such as faux kibble on the chest
They must've not wanted to cheat as much.
>>Worse head
Looks to be more accurate, less soft
>>No meaningful articulation upgrades
Articulated fingers, Head isn't just a swivel, lower arms look to be able to bend up more, looks to have better leg rotation.

It looks way better, the rotf leader was a good figure, a massive improvement over the first leader, but it's too bulky and uncompressed compared to the cg model, this looks to be a improvement on that front.

I imagine they've left out potential accessories like the rotf hooks for future releases of the mold.

>>6377697
The bare yellow plastic is spoiling MPM3 so much for me. I think he looks good on his own but he's gets dangerously close to "I have to force myself to like him" territory when he's compared to better yellows.

I'm sure it's been said many times before but I'm pretty sure this is my favourite Megatron figure, period. There is just Nothing to complain about. The transformation is fun, complicated enough without being tedious, both mode look very different, which makes you feel like you accomplish something when going from one mode to another.

I'm pretty sure the only thing I would add apart from more articulations (namely wrists and waist) would be a battle helmeted head, thought the stock head is also very good, I really like the more armored design of the battle mask.

>>6377717
Can't wait to get him.

And on the battle mask, I'm almost certain they'll release another version in a box set or something that has the mask.

>>6377721
They can release this mold ten times, I'll buy each and every one. This better be the next Classics Optimus Prime.

>>6377723
Well, it's shit, so it's already well on its way.

>>6377725
At least it doesn't have giant truck panels on its arms.

>>6377698
This. Plus the paint and detailing is MUCH better than every retail release of the RotF leader mold. That matters to me more than penny-ante stuff like accessories.

>>6377717

What the fuck is the yellow on his face? Is it his teeth?

>>6377698
A lot of this can be chalked up to the first two lines of Bayformer toys generally having more pleasing proportions in a lot of cases compared to the actual movie versions,which are less bulky and more thin and boney. I, for one, always preferred Movie 1 Deluxe Bumblebee to the actual movie version.

>>6377305
Power rangers light speed rescue had a train megazord. It was pretty sweet.

>>6377783
the teeth and the lower mouth are cast in gold. It's not as obvious in person thought, and that's coming from someone who waited to see if the japanese version left the gold out before buying the occidental version.

>>6376998
>Wave 2 will never come out in America. Never ever.

They should have done RID Optimus out of the Hot Spot mold as the wave 5 voyager instead of Scattershot (who would be exclusive to the Computron set) and had the wave 6 deluxes be based on the Autobot brothers and Skid-Z. Sky Lynx could have been his own thing without a team a la Cyclonus.

It has horrible proportions all around--look how short the thighs and biceps are compared to the mile-long shins and forearms. Viewed from the side, you can see that his calves stretch back to infinity. His knees only bend backwards due to the transformation. Loose joints everywhere. About the only good thing I can say about him is that he looks pretty good as a microcasette recorder.

>>6378333
QC is worse than a dollar store action figure. Loose joints, soft plastic that stress marks easily, if the tabs don't break. I got one for $16 shipped, spent 4 hours tightening joints and such, and still sold the damn thing off out of sheer disappointment. The damn 80s tape player Soundwave is a better version of the character.

Hasbro should have imported the MP3 version years ago, if just without electronics as a deluxe. Buy they fed us some fake news bullshit of "we can't gut the electronics" because being honest and saying they don't want to is beneath coke-addict Brian Goldner.

Forgot to actually answer your question. For a $2, 10 year-old, 3" toy, they're pretty posable. Gets more playability than Shodos or Marvel Universe figures, at least for me. It's also worth noting that I swapped the yellow ones shins around so it has full ankle articulation when doing the splits. Stock instructions have them the other way around. Though this is a conversation for another thread

I was hyped for this when I first saw pictures, noticing that they finally thought to add in his secondary wings and tidy up his thigh/bumper kibble. Then I saw the transformation. I am in a weird position of now wanting the deluxe more than the MP, because it carries over all the new ideas and costs less. Really, the only reason to get the MP would be the battle mask finally transforming right. :/

>>6378773
Attaching the small wings to the door wings is such an awkward way to do it though.

Personally I'm waiting for the Bee movie to drop so we get fancy repaints of these molds and then they might be worth getting.

He's not worth the scalper prices most places are selling him for. Not with those sun faded colors, shit hands, and hollow weightless feet. You might as well get the Platinum heroes set which has the sexy Takara blue with more white in the right places.

Get the pack when it's about 70~85 burger tokens. It goes on sale pretty frequently on eBay, so it shouldn't be too hard to get that. If you are deadset on a single release, don't pay more than 30 bucks for it.

>>6379060
Either the voyager from the 3rd movie for design accuracy or Recon Ironhide for the weapons and best facesculpt.

>>6379203
They are better in that they have more parts and are less hollow. The trade-off is that they are less GEEWUN accurate if that's what you fancy.

>>6379203
Better. They don't have partsforming heads.

>>6379203
Completely different designs, they are bigger and more complex, Blurr has an IDW head, the mold is pretty good but his feet have a hard time touching the ground. Kup has an awful facesculpt and his elbows are shit.

>>6379209
I care about comic accuracy. Does that make me a shitter?

>>6379212
Doesn't Blurr still have an IDW head in the TR release?

>>6379214
>comic accuracy
Both Generations Kup and Blurr designs were used in the IDW comics at some time.

>>6379217
Were they? I remember the Generation versions had their vehicle modes used at one point (and the head for Blurr), but Kup's robot mode wasn't used on a toy until TR, and Blurr's robot mode never got a toy.

Not even close, you might need glasses.

>>6379203
Eh. Depends what you value. While the older ones are certainly more complex and detailed in both modes, I think that all the extra complexity just ends up creating more kibble. The newer molds are cleaner, and focus on a better balance between modes and a simple, yet still fun transformation.

Although the old Kup still has one of the coolest alt. modes ever.

>>6379203
Blurr has a shit ton of articulation, but also so much fucking kibble that most of that articulation is completely useless. You try to bend the joints 30 degrees and they'll run into something.

Kup's arms are also a bit annoying, but you can get the poses you need out of him.

Voyager Beast Hunter Prime cannons.

>>6377037
I'm enjoying Quickswitch more than Sixshot, must be the deco. He can pull almost all his classic altmodes just need to add a drill, but a new helmet would be nice.

Am I the only one disappointed that Hasbro didn't surprise us with a CW Blast Off that used the Takara mold? I really hoped they'd release one since they would probably used the fixed version of the mold, and I could get multiple for an all shuttle combiner.

Anyone here see the London premiere? I'm seeing that it's better than TF1

>>6379442

It is kind of weird, especially after they released Groove out of nowhere. Then again, weird shit has been popping up for a while. I mean, we got Chromedomes with the JPN heads recently too.

>>6379442

They fixed it?

>>6379479
Blastoff had issues keeping his legs together for arm mode, Shuttler seems to work better, the head still pops off randomly tho.

>>6378975

>>6379450
That's not hard.

Is Voyager Galvatron worth 38 bucks (can)?

I need him for my crowned Starscream but not sure what he's worth

>>6379442
Would not be shocked if the real Blast Off is being saved for Hasbrocon if it's ever going to get a US release.

They need a highly desirable exclusive and it's the quickest/easiest one to make out of nothing.

>>6379479
>>6379482
They increased the length of the pegs for the leg connection after they made Strafe for Computron. The weird thing is that Strafe's head doesn't have the falling head issue both Blast Off and Shuttler have.

>>6379257
I dont know if I like him as a transformer but he is a really cool looking robot.

>>6379496
He's honestly not very good. The mold has a lot of weird changes and compromises, some of the complaints/issues are:

-Headmaster gimmick was implemented poorly
-Arm cannon peg is in an awkward place
-Arm cannon is fucking huge to the point it looks ridiculous
-Plane mode is halfassed

>>6379482

Shit gets produced long before it is released. Remember, they gotta make everything, get it packaged, get it boxed up for transport, get it shipped out, etc. All of the toys for the movie/TR/whatever are all sitting in warehouses waiting for distribution by the time you even hear about when it's supposed to be out, more often than not.

This obviously gives the bootleggers ample time to swipe some extra molds because the molds are out of use.

>>6379781
Leakers in the factory, I'd imagine.

But in the case of this mold, the official release seems to be actually quite good, so an oversized KO doesn't really hold too much attraction for me. And the movie sword IS pretty iconic-looking, so this weird knock-off sword kinda ruins it.

>>6379766
Just curious, if you or someone already got the KO of it what are the flaws?

I'm kind of tempted to pull the trigger on the new Slash figure, how much will I regret it later?

>>6379520
That's about 115 in US dollars

>>6379799
He's already warming the shelves and you could get the AoE version for like three fiddy loose or carded.

>>6379799
I personally enjoyed the AoE mold after exchanging the legs because his thigh-spikes are awful. Other than that, he's not worth full price. You can get him in the bargain bin since he's not in the movie but he might sell if parents buy him as "slightly cheaper grimlock"

It's such a shame too. This and the non-correct smaller wings are the only things 'wrong' with this. And it's frustrating because the original concept camaro deluxe fixed this already.

It sucks his only accessory is the cannon (which is to be expected), he could've had the small allspark or a mini sam witwicky figure, or the shoulder rockets he used when he was disabled.

>>6379922
This has to be mistransformed right?

I'll wait for Absimus Prime. He might come with a trailer if we're lucky.

Got an alert for the Chaos on Velocitron set on Amazon this morning at 5:24 AM CT burger time. It was gone in probably 2 mins or less. Good thing I was on an overnight remodel.

Hype is real!

Before Bay committed to directing The Last Knight, he and executive producer Steven Spielberg put together a writers room to come up with story ideas for future Transformers sequels and spinoffs. One idea that came out of that room was a spinoff focused on the Bumblebee character, written by Christina Hodson. Paramount moved quickly, hiring LAIKA CEO and Kubo and the Two Strings director Travis Knight to make his live-action directorial debut, and the film is reportedly eyeing Hailee Steinfeld to star.

But when Bumblebee hits theaters next year, audiences can expect a very different kind of Transformers movie. Collider’s own Steve Weintraub recently spoke with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura at the press day for The Last Knight, and he teased a distinctive film while confirming that Bumblebee will indeed take place in the 1980s:

“I know we’re doing a spinoff first in the Bumblebee movie, and that is a very distinctive departure from what you’ve been seeing so far… The objective of that movie is to develop more time with less robots in a way, and to go back to 1985 and go back to sort of the original heritage if you would of the Transformers. G1.”

“There are dramatically less Transformers. We hired purposefully Travis Knight, who is a very distinct filmmaker. You can’t compete with Michael—you’re gonna lose. And also I think the audience wants something different all the time, let’s keep them interested. They’re gonna get a very emotionally complex story, a very tight story in terms of its location and in terms of its storytelling.”

“In fact it reminds me a little bit of Iron Giant years ago when I did that movie at Warner Bros. It just reminds me a little bit of that where it was very contained and yet it didn’t feel small.”

>The biggest problem with the Bayformers movies is that there is too much humans, not enough robots
>"Hey guys, what if we focused more on the humans, I bet people would love that!"
Kill me.

>>6380170
It will have less robots but that doesn't mean that they wont have screen time -...-

>>6380170
On AoE they focused more on the bots and on TLK even more.Why so angry?

>>6380170
He didn't say that. He said we were going to be spending MORE time with LESS (sic) robots. That means he wants the plot to focus more on a smaller group of bots than Bay's movies, which tend to throw dozens of indistinguishable bots at you. Without really developing them.

>comparing it to Iron Giant
>asking to be measured up against one of the greatest animated films of all time
Nigga don't do this to yourself.
