TLK megs looks awesome!
The new Hound is also epic!
But I can only get one.
Which is a better purchase?

Is it wrong that I just bought a premier Barricade in anticipation of a third party upgrade kit to fix his major flaws (i.e. lack of paint on accessories, thighs, hands)?

I still like the base figure enough to own him without them, though.

>>6380232
Nah. I want voyager optimus and either megs or hound.

Hound has articulation everywhere, it's crazy, but he's missing his iconic weapons.

>>6380247
This, Optimus is better than the Leader, but the transformation isn't as good as Hound or Megatron, and his articulation is more limited than Megatron and Hound (no wrist swivels, ankle, limited waist swivel, limited leg swivels). His only plus is the extra arm articulation on the shoulders, but that's it.

>Megatron doesn't have waist and wrist articulation.
Sometimes I feel like the only guy who don't care that much about waist articulation. You can still make tons of awesome poses without it. Even when a figure does have it, I barely use it because it usually just looks weird, since most Transformers have such blocky, angular waists.

Personally, I think ankle articulation is a million times more important. It's pretty much what elevates a figure to the next level for me, since it enables sturdier, more realistic-looking poses.

I can understand it. even just a bit of waste articulation can greatly improve poseability.

As for wrist articulation? I can take or leave it, provided there's at least a decent bicep or forearm swivel with a solid elbow curl.
>>
>>6380261
Waist isn't always important if the legs have fantastic articulation, but for sword users, having wrist articulation does a world of difference.

Anything not from the fucking sunbow cartoon, just to trigger Geewunners. And as much as I like characters like Jazz and Hound, they're just so boring right now, especially since Sunstreaker looks like a total snoozefest. I want some obscure nobodies, especially after Artfire became my new favorite MP.

TR has really whet my appetite for headmasters, though. I'd love to see and MP headmaster. Or even just more MPs with Targetmasters. Whatever. Just nothing from the damn cartoon.

I've really gotten tired of the original '84 Ark crew. Not too long ago I was pulling my hair out in anticipation for them to release all of them, but now I don't really care.

Wrist articulation is only really important when the figure has a sword. And Megs... does have one... which kinda sucks. The Voyager is still better than the Leader in spite of that though.

Wrist articulation is neato. But moreso for smaller swords. Rigid poses look alright for giant broadswords. I don't need my figures to have Final Fantasy level of wrist strength.
>>
>>6380298
>MP is best when cartoon-accurate.
No. MP is best when the goal is to create a good-looking toy instead of trying to look exclusively like shitty animation from the '80s.

>CHUG line is modernized G1 already
Except the CHUG line is cheap retail shit. I want nice toys.
And regardless of the fact that CHUG is supposed to be reedun, there are still swathes of geewunners butthurt that tiny details on the figures are different from their geewun counterparts. I'd go full 3P if they weren't usually over-engineered and expensive as fuck, although looking at Megatron and Sunstreaker, that seems to be the way Takara is going, too.

We got Ginrai and the rumored Iron Apex vanished from the Siege on Cybertron play set, so it's a safe bet he'll be in a boxset since he doesn't fit the normal leader price point like Ginrai.
>>
>>6380261
Honestly, and this is speaking from outside of just Transformers here, but there's been times where I wished a figure didn't have a waist or ab joint, as it's so loose and floppy it ruins the toy, or is so tight it's unusable.

I fully agree with the ankle articulation bit as well.

Hey, is any third party company working on making an alternate helmet for Ginrai? Like the one's on Black Shadow or Sixshot?

I think PMOP and Ginrai would look so much better with that type of helmet.
>>
>>6380355
Chrome looks a lot better than painted silver, but the fact that chrome is one of the first things on a toy to deteriorate is something you need to expect. The chest piece and sword look like they'd hold up for a while though.

Buy Megatron if you only can have one. Hound is good but nowhere as good as Megatron in terms of fun. the transformation is just a bit too fiddly for my taste, and the robot mode is wobbly.
>>
>>6380360
This looks like the highlight of the line. Leader Megatron might have the mouth Guard gimmick but a $25 demon who has a sword, ankle tilts, and is also a wicked looking jet is just the best of the line.

Especially considering that the leader has modern related peer.

I do, but it has to be well placed and selective. Like Takara Metroplex's face.
If you just place it anywhere without considering the chrome portion is going to become a focal point, it can end up retarded, like Henkei Grimlock, and his chrome neck/shins.

Made some progress on Cancer/Squeezeplay. Bought a junker version of the G1 toy on eBay for a fiver so I've been looking at ways to integrate parts of that. Using the beast head was a given but after taking the legs apart I found they've got a similar sized peg to the one used in a lot of figures today so I can attach some modern upper legs and keep the G1 lower legs without losing articulation. Also saves me having to ruin a Triggerhappy along with Mindwipe and Skullcruncher.

It'll be a wee bit shorter but I'm happy with how it'll look, thoughts?

If you're set on getting Optimus then you should get Megatron. Hound's a great toy but Megatron is just that bit better. He also works as a pair with Optimus better than Hound does.

>he's mostly gimmicks.
The only gimmicks I've seen on him are the "automorphing" fusion cannon, and the face change transformation. I'm not really seeing how either of these affects transformation too much or bot mode too much.

I guess you could say the fusion cannon is too big and unwieldy, but that's really the only negative I can see when comparing it to the Voyager.

The only MP's since MP10 that have been exclusively cartoon accurate are Shockwave, Megatron and Sunstreaker.

MP10 is cartoon inaccurate as fuck because of this.

You know, I was ready to pull something from the tfwiki to prove you wrong and be all smug about it, but apparently you're right. I've seen the movie 4 times and I was dead convinced that they were still incognito.

Which makes it even worse because depite them not being hidden anymore, the rest of the world seems completely indifferent. People still drive cars like normal, soldiers are still equipped only for human threats, no other countries seem to be invested in their existence, and there are no attempts by either side to try and integrate each other. The most we got was a pathetic overlong Bill O'riley segment.

I don't really get why they didn't just design the toy to have the cab removable. Seems silly to screw it on when it would at least give a little extra play value, especially now that you can parts swap with PMOP. They could have just had a little friction peg connecting the cab and trailer, I bet the beancounters would have been all over saving one piece of red plastic and a single screw too.

Yeah I'm super on the fence about Sunstreaker, didn't bother with megs because of that price and the issues, and Shockwave was disappointing.

>>6380841
Wheeljack is one of the greatest MP toys. The perfect balance between G1 design, toy design, and just good aesthetics all around. He's clearly G1 Wheeljack, but he's got neat touches like the transparent wings and the real-world Lancia paint job. However, I recall a good number of geewunners who hated those same features, and wanted him to have his bland-as-fuck cartoon design. I'm so glad Wheeljack got made before the designers went full retard.

>it's a kancollefags embarrassing all humans episode
>>
>>6380961
Obviously harder than you think.

Shapeways products are much easier to make since you only have to know how to 3D model while keeping wall thickness and engineering in mind. Injection molding involves-
>printing the prototype
>smoothing out the surface with putty, sanding, and a lot of patience
>casting a mold, which would have to be a rubber material because metal molds cost several hundred, if not thousands of dollars to produce
>buying and using a lot of resin, which is extremely carcinogenic in liquid form and as dust particles
And then you take a loss on all of these production costs because there aren't many people who will pay deluxe price for a single gun.

So, if your only concern is overall quality, there's actually some pretty easy options, they just take time and money.
3d printing + chemical smoothing to make the initial prototype, then using a basic silicone rubber mold of the prototype.
Follow that up with a resin casting that is mixed with metal powder.

The problem with Target is that, according to the guy who worked there, the website will indicate that they'll have a specific figure, but in reality it just means they have a figure of that specific class because of some sku bullshittery. So if the site says they have a blitzwing or sixshot "in stock" it just means that they gave a voyager and leader class figure on the shelf and there's a 'chance' is them.

And without the targets near me, they will never restock once they sell their initial stock, i swear i NEVER saw TR wave 2 on the shelves here.

>G1 Jackie IS bland as fuck
See, this is what gets me. Your insistence that because the original design was bland and shit, that somehow would have justified not improving it. That's such a fucked up mental position to take, and it makes me think geewunners have brain damage. Should we not strive for improvements?

>It's the black instead of gray that pisses me off though
That, much like the transparent wings, was probably done to evoke the original toy more than the cartoon. It's stuff like this that proves the MP line has not always been about strict cartoon accuracy, no matter how much geewunners want to screech otherwise.

>It's a weird choice just like changing his iconic hand plate thingies
Those plates are stupid, and would only limit the actual use of his hands. I much prefer the MP design where his hands and forearms were actually meaningfully integrated into the transformation, and the Lancia tail light hand guards are cool and distinct, even if they're not accurate to anything.

Fuck accuracy. To anything. I want toys that look good. Only being able to appreciate something if it looks exactly like something else you have nostalgia for is fucking autistic.

>Yeah I wanted a toy of the g1 character rather than the toy
Oh well. That wasn't the goal of the MP line back then.

I still say Takara should make a separate line of highly-articulated, non-transforming action figures to look identical to the cartoon, and let the MP line go back to being good toys with transformations that aren't slave to a 30-year-old toy commercial.

>The hand plates I actually do like but it's weird considering how easy it would've been to stick to the g1 and toy design there.
It's not weird at all. They didn't want to copy the G1 toy or cartoon with the hand plates, because they're stupid and would only hinder the use of the hands. If they had included those plates, it wouldn't have been good in any way. It just would have been "accurate". Luckily, this is when the MP line had the balls to ignore accuracy for the sake of the toy.

The plates are better as is but too bad they're diecast. Doesn't seem to make anything more sturdy and they just get scraped up to shit.

I will say that his white looks great with just the plastic somehow. He really is one of the best MP releases.

The MP line was always slave to a 30 year old toy commercial. It's why Wheeljack looks the way he does, and isn't identifying as an attack helicopter.
>>
>>6381657
>The MP line was always slave to a 30 year old toy commercial. It's why Wheeljack looks the way he does
It wasn't nearly as much of a slave as it is now. It only used the cartoon as a rough guideline. We're having a discussion about just how different Wheeljack actually is from his cartoon design compared to modern MPs. If you don't look any deeper than him being a white sports car, then yeah, he's "identical" to the cartoon But in reality, he still has design elements from his toy, like the black limbs and clear wings. He's got stuff from the real Lancia Stratos like the mirrors, paint job and red rims, none of which are cartoon OR toy accurate. Also stuff that isn't from anywhere, like his tinted windows, spoiler/taillight gauntlets and louver backpack, and then there's little easter eggs like his bearded face which references an unused design from Transformers Animated.

Compare that to Sunstreaker or Megatron, who take pretty much every design cue from the cartoon, to a fault. It's been said many times before. MP used to be about so much more than the cartoon.

You want stuff that's not slavish to any old designs or low budget, but the many 3P options that hit that exact description aren't your thing either? Not even antagonizing here, but maybe you should just call it quits on Transformers. Seems none of what it has to offer is to your taste.

If you're a fan of the series I can understand wanting someone more up your alley, but when there's absolutely nothing maybe it's not worth getting bothered by anymore. Plenty of fish in the action figure sea.

I don't like how much of a bitch they made Megatron in comparison to pull that off though. They really shit all over Starscream with his overly drawn out "a bomb is in my eye so I'm going to thrash about and die rather than pluck it out" death scene as well. Little of it is really for the sake of storytelling, just easy "oh fuckkkk" moments for the crowd that literally couldn't give less of a fuck about anything beyond the explosions.

It's kind of a weird version of themselves, almost too grim when I think about it. Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons have the numbers, but they're all sad saps. Megatron jobs and can't fight on his own, Starscream's reduced to a sycophant and every other Decepticon is pretty much drones to a cause with underwhelming leadership. You know it's gone to shit when an Autobot commander led an invasion far more successful than the previous attempt at Egypt.

In a perspective, the heroic autobots and evil Decepticons in story, but come face to face with them and you see violent angry Autobots (even to their own) and desperate compensating Decepticons that wants to restore their world through human extinction than tyranny.

>Seems none of what it has to offer is to your taste.
MPs used to be to my taste, then they started pandering to geewunners in all the wrong ways.

My collecting has shifted more towards Takara Legends figures, lately. The designs are good, the Transformations are fun, and the quality is just enough of an improvement over Hasbro's stuff to make them feel worth the price, and they're not hampered by being totally cartoon accurate, although you have to admit that even the generations/legends line has gotten exponentially more G1-accurate over the years.

>>6381807
I'd be cool with Huffer, because that means we would eventually get Pipes, and I really can't think of any other character who has gotten the shaft harder than Pipes.

>Fuck accuracy. To anything. I want toys that look good. Only being able to appreciate something if it looks exactly like something else you have nostalgia for is fucking autistic.

Says the guy whinging how "toys should only be how *I* want them to be, and anyone who thinks otherwise is brain damaged". Seriously, get over yourself. There is nothing wrong with wanting something to look good, but there's also nothing wrong with wanting something that's meant to represent something else to be accurate to whatever it's representing, if that's what it's meant to be doing. People are allowed to want things out of their transforming robot toys that you, yourself, don't want. If you honestly can't deal with that, then you're the one with a problem.

The toys are still good but not accurate to the cartoon for the most part.
I don't see anything wrong with the BW MPs or Megatron's looks but I dare anyone to unironically defend MP Sunstreaker now or once it's out. The problem is not cartoon accuracy or a lack of it but just ugly toys with bad engineering that could have been done more efficiently but weren't for whatever reason like Sunstreaker and Megatron.

>>
>>6381913
I can't comprehend the logic of online toy store preorders sometimes. Why are listings still preorder status or the preorder hasn't been filled yet when figures are physically out on the shelves, or if it's a website like Amazon where there are marketplace sellers who already have the figure listed as for sale while Amazon's official listing is still marked a preorder for the next month?
>>
>>6381927
I'm guessing that they're last in line for shipments. Big retailers and amazon is more important to hasbro.

>whatever reason
Tell me, in your head, is the world of toy manufacturing a magical factory where there is no budget and the only limit is imagination? It's a desire for cartoon accuracy that is forcing them to make these "bad decisions." Everything is linked, and it's all a result of their budget and physical limitations vs. what they want the end product to look like. If they were willing to sacrifice some accuracy, they'd have more freedom with the engineering. It's not that hard to understand. How is it that people who are passionate about collecting toys have zero fucking idea about how they're made? It's not even toys, it's basic production. Cost, budget and limitations vs. design. Try to get out of your basement more often.
>>
>>6381920
>Skateboard
That's cute.
>>
>>6381894
Megatron wasn't "done more efficiently" because they wanted him to be extremely cartoon accurate, and SURPRISE, that takes a lot of fucking complicated engineering.

Are all toy collectors this stupid, or is it just Transformers manchildren?
>>
>>6381919

The lack of that awful tan/gray on this mold actually makes it looks pretty nice.

So what's the over/under on TR Galvatron being leftovers from another time? There's plenty of room in that chest cavity to fit a whole head, not just the head crest.
>>
>>6381908
The old Beast Wars toys. Geez.

>>6381934
I'm pretty sure that all of those costs kind of go out of the window once you make a mass release action figure half as expensive as the average game console.

>>6381939
Despotron and Apollyon made a decent enough job and those weren't as expensive as MP Megatron, which is a good figure save for the paint seemingly not being taken into account at all while coming up with the tolerances and clearances for the transformation.
I haven't heard anything bad about paint or cartoon accuracy here until the release of MP Megatron, so there's that.

>>6381919
If only it used the Ginrai mold. I really don't like the UM\PM prime mold. That colorscheme is so good though.

What's the best Soundwave that turns into a cassette player? (one that isn't Masterpiece prices)

The TR one looks okay, but $40...
>>
>>6382186

For Soundwave, you're going TR, MP, or nothing, if you want a boombox/cassette player one, because those are the best options.

If you don't mind a car/truck/WfC-esque thing, the recent RiD one is great.
