Can Nitro Zeus be the next big crossover Decepticon we see in cartoons going forward?
I'm Definitely adding him to the ranks of my Decepticon elite; a gang of my favorite -Cons from all sorts of lines.
>>6397402
Well, clearly someone liked him, his design's been floating around for a few movies now, got used in AOE, then tweaked for TLK and actually lasted longer than any other villain in the film.
I hope he turns into the new Lugnut.
>>6397397
When he starts showing up I may actually get a couple. Maybe three. One to keep as is. One be Thunderwing. And one to do something else with since his head is easy to swap. Just seems like a good jetformer body to have around.
>>6397397
Anyone here preordered MPM-04 prime? The robot looks great, but some people seem to have issues pegging the truck together (although at least one person's prime appears perfect).
>>6397397
Man, Nitro Zeus looks great. I hope he comes out in the UK.
>>6397397
Man, aside from the nosecone, I still have no idea how he transforms.
>>6397411
I ordered him. I've got Buster for my truck mode so he'll spend most of his time in robot mode.
>>6397397
>He could have been the new Starscream
>Gets killed off
Jeez, leave some Decepticons alive for once.
>>6397414
Where did the pre orders go up?
>>6397435
Chosen Prime.
I'll say this, Bee is pretty nice, just not please with his hands and lack of ball jointed neck.
>>6397404
He seems familiar because they reused Shockwave's Head
>>6397469
So the wings turn into the turbine pods at the top?
>>6397397
Is this guy's head TR-head compatible? I know he and Cogman can swap heads but I'd like to use him for a custom.
>>6397488
He's compatible, but the head isn't a Headmaster.
>>6397491
Hell yeah, that's completely fine. He'll make a great Thunderwing.
>>6397397
>Badass name
>Has an actual personality
>Good amount of screen time
>Great toy
Why the fuck would they kill him off
I think it's stupid as fuck that they gave him the same head as the big bad from TF3. It's so blatantly obvious they cheaped out that it really ruined any way or me to care about this guy.
It doesn't help that they also reused this head in the previous move. But at least they tried to make it distinct with having it be a two headed TF.
>>6397469
>there will never be anymore planes with clean undersides
>>6397545
>Big Bad
Shockwave? He was a nobody in the film, the big bad was Sentinel.
>>6397545
>I think it's stupid as fuck that they gave him the same head as the big bad from TF3.
>guy who says literally only one understandable word in the entire movie, and only shows up at the very beginning and near the end.
>the big bad
>>6397558
Shockwave was the meme villain in 3. Just as the Fallen was for 2, Lockdown was for 4, and Quintessa was for 5.
>>6397597
> Not Sentinel Prime
So, I remember how someone mentioned that in the last film, they never addressed the sparks Lockdown took from Transformers he killed, TLK has the Autobots getting Lockdowns ship so they might do something with that plot thread in the next film.
>>6397615
Ideally. I'd love for Ratchet to return.
>>6397610
Sentinel Prime wasn't advertised as a villain to be a selling point. The Fallen, Shockwave, Lockdown, and Quintessa were all heavily advertised as the main villain for thier respective movies.
All your arguments against this do is prove how shitty these movies have been in terms of villains and how much wasted potential we've gotten. Makes me feel worse about this shit.
>>6397597
I wouldn't really consider Lockdown a meme villain, that'd be Galvatron. Lockdown was pretty cool
Really enjoying this guy.
Anyone know of a trailer that fits Combiner Wars Optimus? I feel like he could use one.
>>6397701
Not that I can tell so far. I've only transformed him to robot mode and played around with that.
All I know is I want Prime now, then a Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz, Hound, Barricade, TLK Barricade, and Sideswipe in MPM form.
>>6397719
Kinda surprised there wasn't a trailer that turned into limbs.
Hopefully someone will make a bigger gun.
>>6397719
The same trailer that fits CW Motormaster
Why doesn't Mark Wahlburger have a toy when he's the Last Knight?
Why does the film focus so much on the humans when the toys are all about the transformers?
Some

BODY ONCE TOLD ME
>>6397768
BODY ONCE TOLD ME
No seriously, this is a fucking godsend. Do you know how many of those I was missing? How'd this magical bag of restoration come to be?
>>6397772
I want that Torque Bow yo.
>>6397625
The Fallen was the main villain of the second movie.
Shockwave was a decoy to avoid spoiling a major twist.
Lockdown was the main villain of four.
Was Quintessa played up as the main villain? She was in the trailers, but merch and stuff has been going with Megatron.
>>6397772
Ok I need help identifying a couple things at the bottom: the pair of red missiles, and pronged missile, and the pair of grey missiles . I've tried Transformerland's part id.
>>6397597
>tfw Shockwave could of been a great villain (in the right hands, IE not the bay flims).
>>6397793
Technically, I guess so.
Though, I'm pretty sure most of the antagonizing in the film was from that one anti-transformer army guy.
>>6397491
Im really left wondering why they made Nitro Zeus's mold with titan master functionality, something they'd have to go out of their way to do.
Maybe it was an abandoned idea in the movie for Cogman to rip Nitro Zeus' head off and take over his body? Possibly?
Still confused Berserker has a toy when he was in the movie for a total of 5 seconds.
>>6397837
>Somewhere on the cutting room floor there could be scenes of Anthony Hopkin's car turning into a huge robot body for Cogman to pilot as a headmaster, getting into sick-ass fights, getting his body damaged and then taking out Nitro Zeus via decapitation to steal his body and keep fighting
The things this movie could have been
>>6397837
Berserker has a toy in almost every size class. Must have been important in an early draft.
>>6397469
Fucking sexy underside
>>6397845
they can just cut the whole TRF flying drone scene and filled it with more robot scene but no, hurr it was bean bag joke.
>>6397869
I kind of imagine they just film like 30 hours of explosions and lock the editor in a room with all the footage until it's under 3 hours long.
>>6397397
Legit one of the best bayformer characters yet. Suvks that
Spoiler
A nigga dead
>>6397883
A BTS documentary about TLK would be more interesting than the film itself
Yay! Glad to see TLK didn't completely kill TR in Singapore.
Windblade and reissue Wolfwire were there too but I decided to pass on them. Some pieces of Windblade already have paint scratched off her (OYO)s
>>6397889
And what would be better if he had lived? Oh right, nothing.
>>6397796
I think the red missiles are from Toybiz Cyborg Spider-Man.
>>6397406
I'm sure there will be retools, why not wait?
I really hope they repaint him to look like Energon Sixshot, it would make his relation to Shockwave more fun.
>>6397545
They did make a link between the two though.
>>6397960
Yes it would. Him and megatron worked perfectly together on screen. Wish they somehow revived starscream, soundwave and shockwave, and gave them them (shock and soundwave) personalities for once
>>6397742
Three things are bugging me about this figure. First of all those bare red plates on his abdomen are very ugly, secondly the knee pads look way too big. Finally and more importantly that head looks terrible. The face is off in so many ways
>>6397981
Speaking of Energon, how about a Terrorcon pack?
>>6397624
It was also said in AoE that the ship the Autobots stole from Lockdown's main ship was his trophy room. (where the Dinobots were kept) The last we saw of that ship was in China.
I too wish they'd explain why Lockdown was taking sparks and, as >>6397624 said, ideally we get to see bots like Ratchet return with new bodies.
>>6397998
That would be pretty fun.
I already use the bottom two as the classics versions Pounce and Wingspan.
>>6398024
Oh cool, you can use the tail as the lance still. They somehow didn't advertise that at all during the previews.
>>6397998
The clones look kinda lame compared to the energon toys...
>>6397397
I'm not a terribly big fan of the new "jet cockpit as a fusion cannon" thing going on with TLK toys
I get that jet cockpits are hell to actually do anything with in a transformation and that it's either that or back kibble, but still not a fan.
>>6397998
You'd better off tracking down the Energon Scout class figures
>>6398036
Voyager Meg's cockpit ain't the fusion cannon.
>>6398034
Looks good.
>>6398024
>>6398048
He's not even in this movie and he still gets one of the best toys. He didn't even need a better toy and he still got one. How is it possible for a movie character to get this kind of treatment?
Nice, they painted the face.
>>6398078
Speaking of painted faces.
>Latest Titans return wave are out
>TLK did not kill it
>Have Cosmo from CW, got Seaspray
>It got some horrible molding scratch mark on its arms and chipped paint on the head
>Got nothing from Deluxe
>Misfire looks like shit for some reason and those guns are bad even as I love the Triggerhappy mold. Not feeling it with Windblade or Twin Twist even when I got Topspin.
>Got Voyager Blitzwing. Horrible stickers and sprue marks everywhere. The wings which was a minor problem in Megatron turns into full blown AIDS.
>Fuck Octone. Only triple changer in the Con are Blitzwing and Astrotrain
>Waiting for Takara Overlord
I am thinking getting LG Blitzwing when it is out. I am very disappointed at the fact that Hasbro can drop the ball so hard when the mold is finally used on the said character and their QC just turns it into shit.
>>6398108
I seriously hope the finished product looks better than these painted prototypes. That Minerva is JUST tier.
>>6398112
Well takara's first prototypes usually do look a lot more gloppy than the actual releases
>>6398055
> White Thighs instead of 100% inverse Blue and White
RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>6398109
>guns are bad
Yeah Misfire's gunsled has a far larger hollow for the TM, and doesn't even lock together well. Also, for some reason the reused hip is white plastic while the thigh is coated white.
>>6398116
By the way, I'm not sure if you can tell from my poor lighting, Twintwist and Topspin are using different shades of white plastic.
>>6398125
I think the guns look best when attached seeker style
>>6397597
>"meme" villain
please don't use that word if you have no idea what it means.
Someone wanted overlord with something else?
Here ya go, looks like part of the tank IS retooled, but you won't see that in tank form anyway
>>6398125
>Twintwist and Topspin are using different shades of white plastic.
Hasbro "white" and...?
Is tlk voyager scorn mass shifting or what?
His robot is bigger than the deluxe but they look pretty close in dino mode
>>6398143
But in bot holy shit
>>6398141
But can they trade pants still?
>>6397963
Looks like you're right! Thanks.
>>6398147
Its still a retool, it should, would save a bit of money to have the same crotch connector
>>6397444
Is he as much of a qc mess as the spergs on tfw are making him out to be? I just ordered him and I'm worried.
Last night I found a box at Walmart that said Titans Return Leader Class W2 17
Thats some old shit, right? That's not the case with Overlord, is it?
>>6398024
It looks like he's getting the Hound treatment. I can see a wrist swivel on his left hand with finger articulation. Also, his feet might even have ankle tilts. Can't be sure on that, but I do see the telltale slots that denote ball joints down there.
>>6398156
He does have ankle tilts, it was shown iff in the pics.
>>6398155
Thats black shadow, over is 17 w3
>>6398154
From what I've seen the qc issues are mostly tabbing and the typical "mp's are still toys made in the same factories as toys" issues such as paint imperfections with the odd HOLY FUCK WHY DID THIS BREAK.
I honestly see the same feedback as mp36 here, I guess because he was highly anticipated, only mp primal went off quietly
>>6398160
Thanks anon. Blackshadow and Sixshot, or just 2x BS?
>>6398142
Topspin is like CW Streetwise white, Twintwist is like Firstaid white.
>>6398173
Black shadow was on his own since sixshot was wave3 on his own
>>6398181
so plastic pale white and "bright hollywood teeth" white?
>>6398186
I dunno, maybe this shot illustrates the difference better.
>>6398141
>Skip Sky Shadow for Overlord
>Turns out not looking better at all
Fucking hell, should I wait for Takara or get Sky Shadow now?
>limited budget
>can only pre-order one of the following
LG-ex super ginrai or mp cassettebot vs con set?
>>6398141
Why did they give overlord stupid yellow horns? Is this some IDW garbage queerky queer thing?
>>6398190
I'd say your description in >>6398181 was spot on, they're both plastic just one doesn't look so sickly, I like it
>>6398191
The most obvious change (thanks to sixshot) is a helmet change and tampo prints over stickers so if the helmet is a both wait for takara, can't say if a second head will come for breast attack shenanigans though.
They colors could also be darker on takara's, mostly a dark blue I suspect, I'm waiting, not making the same mistake I did with sixshot.
Which reminds me, gotta choose to sell him or to keep him for his kanji
After watching/reading a few reviews, is TLK Hound actually any good? He seems just kinda okay, and I'm feeling a bit bummed that I misted the AoE figure as that one might be superior.
>>6398196
You do realize voltron is behind him?
Its clear you haven't read idw, can't tell if that's a good thing you haven't seen his lips or a bad thing you're trying to use that as an insult without having actual knoledge on the subject at hand.
Rest assured, he has no horns
>>6398196
Not sure if trolling, or blind.
>>6398141
Is it weird that I find Black Shadow has a much nicer shape to him? Specially the chest/shoulders. Overlord has nicer colors though.
>>6398196
>millenials are still too young to remember voltron/golion
>>6398194
The super ginrai set will be more rare and expensive later on, not to mention it has more to it than the cassettes
>>6398199
He's good, better than the AOE mold.
>>6398204
>>6398196
>>6398205
>>6398209
overlord feels way too blocky, like man in cardboard suit blocky
>h-hes supposed to looked like that like in the cartoon/comic!
okay okay i get it jeez
>>6398199
Yeah I would say he's the Evasion prime of TLK. It looks far closer to the stout proportions of the show model and manages his kibble far better than the AOE one, which has a lot of car panels just hanging off the arms, on the fists, on the feet, etc. The AOE's vehicle mode is also in a weird scale, like DOTM megs scale.
The only point against the TLK is that it could use better paint. Unfortunately, Takara's not doing their takara-paintjobs for TLK so there's no fancy blinged-up version for it yet.
>>6398141
Got Carnifex to compare his head size? I'm thinking on getting his add on to give TR Overlord a better head and give the powermaster backpacks to some titanmasters.
>>6398220
Not my image I'm afraid, that said waiting on someone who'd have it to post.
In the meantime have overshadow and skylord

>>6398141
Why is his head black? Who thought that was a good idea?
>>6398109
Time and again, we've said they use the same factories as Hasbro. Their QC isn't any better, so you should be wary considering their price, or just say fuck it and go 3P.
>>6398196
>not knowing what IDW Overlord looks like
>>6398245
Why did takara give Sixshots a new head that look nothing like the toy or the show?
>>6398278
While this is true, they do use the same factories, for some reason takara figures seem to have a better track record...or so it seems.
>hasbro cw skylynx has shit gestalt ratchets which require modification to get working correctly
>takara uw skylynx has been largely silent report wise
But same can be in reverse
>hasbro cw bruticus colors can be somewhat dull but functional
>meanwhile takara uw bruticus has multiple small qc issues with quite a few stacked upon what should of been the crowning glory of the set, blastoff
I suspect when takara gets the molds, which is normally AFTER hasbro it gives them a chance to polish qc issues, since japan (their intended audience) is smaller its resonable to assume they don't want to give out what would be a fraction to hasbro's production numbers to the land of autist in a bad way, because when they do fuck up its not another case of "oh its just cheap old hasbro" its more "I PAID HOW MUCH FOR THIS SHIT!?"
This is why I cherry pick the deco I like most, sometimes buying the same figure multiple times (I have both versions of astrotrain for example) and have a screw driver, polish, paint and a whole lot of patience
How else could I put up with pic related without that, buying transformers in general is a minefield for quality control
>>6397998
I would love this.
>>6398297
In a way they both do, takara's needs a harder squint than hasbro's.
I think takara just thought the head looked like shit being so blocky and gave it curves, so it looks like someone tried to make it interesting.
I'm just upset the little titanmaster on takara's is a mini sixshot rather than the guy who he fucked up in headmasters
>>6397998
Battle Ravage out of Pounce would be neat, but Divebomb is such an incredible figure that honestly it'd seem like a downgrade.
>>6398297
But it looks like the show
>"Oh wow, Trypticon's arms do swing out"
>They're hollow
>>6398301
I suspect it's actually because there are very few people who purchase the Japanese releases here, and as such, we see less complaints because of the smaller sample size, meaning possible defects are less likely to get seen unless it's a line-wide defect like Weirdwolf's breaking hinges.
>>6398316
>the whole belly is hollow
>hm thats weird it could just fit soundbox and/or motorized gears just fine
>hastak face
>>6398316
>No MT citybot trypticon in sight
>>6398292
I dunno about that guy, but I avoid IDW.
>>6398336
It's hollow to hold figures, and the cost saved from foregoing a sonudbox or motor went into providing the deluxe on his chest.
>>6398316
what are you expecting from a multi-million dollar company?
>>6398316
I really didn't think they would put LESS effort into him than Metroplex.
>>6398336
Warden explicitly stated it was either include a soundbox or include the deluxe figure
Warden made the right call this time
>>6397816
What? Like IDWasteofpaper?
>>6398386
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the soundboxes. Amusing for one minute then I'm taking the batteries out.
>>6398414
Agreed. I ain't risking getting fucking battery acid everywhere down the line.
>>6398408
Are all the people who blindly shit on IDW completely Transformers-illiterate?
>>6398245
I'm surprised everyone shit on him when he first came out. He's easily my favorite leader class our of Combiner wars and Titans Return. It took me forever to fucking find him but I did find him at Target this week for 35 bucks on sale.
I'm on bbts looking at CW limbs and there's a set with AIR RAID, OFFROAD, BREAKDOWN, and DEAD END. The Description says they form Superion, but that doesn't sound right. Who are they supposed to form?
>>6398449
It's wave 2 of the deluxes.
>>6398449
They don't form any specific combiner. The first two waves were released before Hasbro decided to do whole waves of one team.
>>6398426
Marvel kinda sucked dude. Sure Shockwave was badass, but then Megatron got sidelined for like the entire fucking run.
>>6398426
Yes. I suspect they're either young Bayfaggots who dont have any other knowledge of the franchise that what Bay shows them or old GeeWuuners who hate anything new or popular.
>>6398475
Is It so hard to find people who enjoy the franchise as a whole like myself?
And if there is something I don't like I just ignore it and not act like it's a crime against humanity.
>>6398478
Nah, I love a huge portion of the franchise. Only black mark is Bayformers. Grew up with G1, love IDW, like BW, etc etc. Shit, if anything, IDW should be embraced by most Geewunners because it's G1 done in the modern day, which is what most of them want.
>>6398304
Yes. YES.
I need to see more of these gifs
>>6398478
I am a "Geewunner" but I enjoy parts of everything thats come along, even the Bay films, I dont know why some people sperg so hard over stuff.
>>6398509
Master-Piece Movie Line.
They transform, but right now, there are some problems with the toys.
>>6398509
>When did these figures get so good looking and movie accurate?
When they started costing $70-90 or so a figure.
>>6398378
>expecting effort from a company that allowed this on packaging
>>6398478
I take it as it comes, and if some parts of the franchise (like the american G1 cartoon) are shit, then so be it.
>>6397397
>>6397398
Yet another amazing-looking mold wasted by the cheapest-looking paintjob they could possibly come up with. What about actually adding a nice evenly distributed coat of metallic silver painting like pic related? Why the fuck do so many post-DOTM toys look like they were just taken straight out of the plastic mold without any posterior paint apps?
So you were right, Triggerhappy actually is good. But it feels a little sad to know this is probably the best we can possibly get out of the new almost-zero-paint deluxes that still cost £20.
>and right then I notice mine is missing a paint app
I'm gonna scream!
>>6398528
Right leg, robot mode. Missing wheel.
>>6397772
>two of Silverbolt's feather sword/missile
Legit jelly.
>>6398533
The Deluxes in TR have all been pretty good honestly. And a lot of them have had paint in really suspect places or amounts. Like how Brainstorm is basically slathered in the stuff to a ridiculous degree, while Blurr and Scourge got basically nothing.
>>6397422
But come to a think of it what happened to Barricade? Honestly didn't remember
>>6398550
just disappeared, he'll be back.
>>6398426
To be fair, for a while Hasbro wasted money shoving comics in with the toys and appealed to nobody with them
>comic readers already had the comic
>toy buyers got a comic that had nothing to do with their toy
>>6398259
Never knew they had this challenge thing before. Do they also add that to the Titans Return Instructions too?
So did they really need to rush the mpms out?
I feel like these would've had less problems if they waited a bit longer
>>6398145
I'm honestly starting to think the deluxe looks better. Look at that fucking forearm holy shit.
MPM Prime is up at TFSource for $140.
>>6398021
I kinda like this, but what is really the point of having the TR gimmick to him?? Never seen this in the movie also
>>6397406
Indeed anon. Would you swap Nitro's with Shockwave's painted head?
>>6398567
Tabbing issues with Optimus and it appears that Bumblebee falls apart.
>>6398130
If they could port CW engineering into TR (Chromerdome) They're certainly going to reuse this mold in power of the primes to make some seekers.
>>6398577
Wouldn't even complain.
>>6398580
I would because deluxe is too fucking small.
>>6398259
Man, I have not opened a Transformers Instruction book in like 20 years.
>>6398587
It wouldn't help you if you did, most of them are borderline useless at best, or flat out wrong.

WOW! hasbro really didn't think much of the movie.
>>6398603
>gun for a head
You haven't met the master of gunheaddery, have you?
>>6398614
The movie is already discounted at matinee prices and Walmart still hasn't managed to sell their stock of wave 1s.
>>6398603
>>6398617
The only TR figure I own is Triggerhappy.
>>6398617
If only Rubber Soul wasn't shit.
>>6397402
I have one too though it's based on Team Chaar:
Sky-Byte
Lugnut
Strika
Tidal Wave
Tarn
>>6398626
This team seems really imbalanced. Like 4 out of 5 are hyper-fanatics and there are two "music" guys.
>>6398055
Twin Twist looks better in bot mode. Topspin looks better in alt.
Is anyone else so in love with their Triggerhappy to the point where they're actually getting the original G1 figure just for the sake of history? Just bought mine off Ebay today, can't wait to have them both together.
>>6398635
That plastic looks so much nicer than what we got in TR. Thick, sturdy, and solid.
>>6398624
He's perfectly fine, what are you on about? nb4 "muh rubber".
I can accept some rubber in a $15 toy, because lets face it, these things aren't made to last forever and aren't some high quality limited production run. I will agree rubber/chrome/diecast/etc has no place in expensive shit like MP's though. That shit all degrades and is disgusting, and shithead collectors who have no long term view capability are the ones who want it. They might as well ask for whole figures made out of gold plastic if they want such shit tier garbage like diecast and rubber in things.
>>6398125
Somehow the LG version looks less bland, while technically having fewer paint apps.
I'm glad to hear the guns are turds, definitely makes me have zero regrets for waiting on the Takara release. If I want him to have more firepower I can always just stick some other weapons under his wings.
>>6398565
And the voyager got rid of the coolest part of his design the hussar wings.
>>6398641
While I agree most of TR's plastic wasn't up to snuff, I imagine it would be pretty easy for them to dump their entire budget into plastic quality if the toy only had 2 points of articulation.
>>6398641
It's a shame we live in a world where we don't have 1980's plastic with current year engineering.
>>6398614
Really? It's been two months and Wave 1 is overflowing on most shelves.
Wave 1 that is, two months into the line.
>>6398665

That's because he was in a stupid box set, so had to pay big bucks for him and thus no-one has got him ;)
>>6398021
Whos TM head is that? Orion Pax's?
So I got Generations Thrilling 30 Roadbuster from BBTS. I think maybe I got a bad one because the bicep swivels seem either nonfunctional or really messed up. Feels like I'm going to twist them off completely if I try to use them. Is that normal?
>>6398753
it's a shit figure in general.
>>6398751
Yep. Kinda bummed that there aren't pics of that two-pack yet.
>>6398753
Why not push them out of their slots to check if there's something wrong?
>>6398791
I did, they LOOK fine, but they don't swivel cleanly.
>>6398614
So the movie's doing poorly in the western world but killing in China, we know this. What's got me wondering is exactly how that transfers to toy sales. Which market sees the most profit in terms of merchandise internationally? I would imagine it might be harder in a place like China where IP laws are less enforced and knock-offs run rampant, but I'm no businessman so that's purely speculative.
>>6398301
People kept mention the QC issues on UW Bruticus, but I had both and the UW was superior to my Hasbro Bruticus on almost everything, the only issues being Blast-Off's falling head and his leg's not tabbing well.
>>6398729
There wasn't much to talk about because Lynx Master was an EX release, and the only difference between the Hasbro version was a different combiner member, some colors, and Wheeljacks paint scheme. And while some people wanted Ratchet, it wasn't worth it when you could get most of the team for way cheaper.
Artfire anon here. Reminding you to buy Artfire, something, something, blah, blah, blah...
>>6398810
I'm not sure what makes you think it's any harder to get KOs in America. I saw a couple of KO BH Abonomus toys at a gas station for 1.50 each.
>>6398817
These nobody-redecos are a real waste of resources.
>>6398826
I know this is probably bait, but kill yourself, geewunner.
Artfire is better than Inferno in every way. I guess except for the fact that he wasn't in your beloved, poorly-animated, Saturday morning toy commercials by Sunbow.
>>6398810
>the movie's doing poorly in the western world but killing in China
It's doing well in China in relation to the rest of the world but it's still a disappointment there.

>takara wins again
HOW DO THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT?
>>6398837
The movie would have made trillions if it had gay combaticons.
HOW DO THEY DO IT?
>>6398847
Effort and a healthy amount of respect for the franchise.
FUCK OFF AUTOVOLT
>>6398847
Variable price points
>>6398826
The only reason to make Jazz is so that a superior Stepper deco can come out of it.
>>6398840
They forgot to chrome Ginrai thights.
>>6398847
Hopefuly there will be another way to get them, I'm not re-buying Ginrai and Bomber just for them.
DESU God Ginrai is pretty disappointing, hes my favorite "Prime" but this toy got the worst ankles I've seen in years, also his shins are useless, he doesn't even qualify as a pretty brick, cause he can't stand straight without some king of stand.
>>6398856
How about that. I thought he was dead.
>>6398856
I don't know which is sadder, that autovolt actually believes it or that seibertron actually published this
>>6398860
I don't mind God Ginrai overall but the feet are just too bulky.
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>6398856
>believing anything posted on 4chan
God Ginrai looks terrible.
>>6398866
those legs are a mess
>>6398860
They really needed to figure out a way to get the biceps and thighs to extend and lock. He's all forearms and shins.
>>6398869
I think he looks ok, the backpack can be lowered so the wings aren't so high up, but the leg attachments are the real issue. I kind of wish they planned a way to have Ginrai's ankle to connect deeper with the foot extensions instead of standing right on them.
>>6398869
Yeah and I bet as soon as Hasbro releases it you're going to suddenly say it's great
>>6398866
They should've waited a year or at least release him when Overlord drops, doing it just after Bomber hitted stores was pretty shitty, but honestly I just want another way t get the HM Jrs.
>>6398876
Doesn't matter who releases the figure, because it's a shitty, goofy looking figure.
>>6398876
Hasbro's will probably be even worse since there's a good chance they'll throw their shitty foil stickers on God Bomber.
Behold. A way better Super Optimus combined mode.
>>6398888
Too bad Wing Saber was a crappy toy.
>>6398888
I keep hoping this Prime will be the CNY one. Hopefully this year.
Is barricade a Michael Bay OC?
He's honestly pretty badass, but I'm not a fan of the movie toys. I'd much rather see him in the TR line
>>6398898
Nah he was a obscure g1 character
>>6398900
Only as much as Beast Wars Inferno was G1 Inferno.
>>6398900
Swindler when?
>>6398856
Why do you heff to be mad?
>>6398911
>I think that's a point where you can just say that having the same names was a coincidence.
I thought that was known since the first movie came out.
>>6397881
Galvatron was always Megatron. Only the humans and by extension the Autobots referred to him as Galvatron. Megatron from the start exerted his personality on that body, and as soon as he got away from everything in Age of Extinction he took his chance on a new life to be Megatron again.
>>6398911
>It's amazing what they could get away with before people really starting cracking down on copyright and licenses.
The DMC was defunct before Transformers took off in America, and swindler was released when John Lelorean was already knee-deep in legal issues. He wasn't going to notice a disparaging name for a $5 toy in a then dying toyline.
>>6398927
I'm amazed that so few people were able to connect the dots and get that Quintessa had probably given him a new body. He had the "mark" on his face. Also, he was clearly part of the whole "drain Earth/destroy Unicron" plot from the beginning. even Nitro Zeus, who's just a lackey, knew about the unicron thing; he gets upset about Optimus not going through with the plan.
>>6398935
People often say these movies have no plot, I disagree. They have plenty of plot, there's too much of it that the average moviegoer can't process.
>>6398935
He didn't have the mark when we first saw him.
There is a chunk missing with him going to Cybertron and getting Quintbitchslapped.
Still loving Bee, his eyes are painted well, the effect is good with some back light.
>>6398888
Don't you mean this big beautiful brick?
>>6398614
This image makes this figure look a lot better than it actually is
>>6398935
Why do people keep pushing this retarded angle? Megatron had nothing to do with Quintessa until she reached Earth.
Megatron was always Megatron. He gets away from China and just takes a new body like Cybertronians always do. That's it.
Just got Bee and he's fucken sick. Feels awesome and no QC issues to speak of.
My only gripe is his heckin thumbs. The fact that they don't swivel drives me insane. I have a half a mind to cut them off and glue them back at a better angle
Other than this obviously minor nitpick this figure is pretty fantastic. Easily and instantly my favorite figure of the year so far
>>6398946
I did not, but it is also better than God Ginrai.
>>6398935
Megatron had the new body before he had the mark.
He new body is easy to explain, though: Transformium.
>>6398956
>but it is also better than God Ginrai.
Nah senpai it's really not
>>6398856
>a random 4chan post was considered worthy of a published news article
My mom is fucking John Warden, I can confirm that PotP will feature new Predaking, Piranacon, and Monstructor figures, and Unicron's getting a Titan Class figure for Transformers 6.
>>6398981
Unironically my father works at Takara, I can't say much other than something "Grand" is coming to titan class.
Also they're reissuing every G1 figure to alleviate after market prices for most of those old bricks.
>>6398981
omg do we have the same mom working at Hasbro? She's telling me that the line is now called Power of the Prima and all the figures will be girls.
>>6398898
>Is barricade a Michael Bay OC?
Yes
>He's honestly pretty badass
No, but he is OC that I'd like to see in more competent hands.
>>6398866
>Chromed
Disgusting
>>6398952
Have you ordered Prime as well? I'm loving my Bee, really impressed with it.
>>6398218

that was a fun toy to transform
if hound is in the same level I think Ill get one

Yep, main reason why I'm getting Zeus.

C'mon son, step it up.
Also, I have a question for the thread. I'm a BIG Action Master fan (I don't know why I just dig the hell out of 'em) and when I stumbled across a Generations Titan Master Krok in a Target today I freaked, I had no idea this guy existed! I haven't bought a TF in years, but I had to grab him. Are there any other Generations/Classic renditions of old Action Master characters? I know there was a Banzaitron redeco of ROTF Bludgeon a bit back, I believe? Any others?
>>6398125
Could I get a height side by side comparison of these Misfire&Triggerhappy? And a comparison of the Vehicle modes for Twintwist/TopSpin?
>>6398981
>My mom is fucking John Warden
SON GO TO YOUR ROOM YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE REVEALING THOSE IMPORTANT TRADE SECRETS ON THE 4CHAN'S.
>>6398840
>>6398866
I mean, the torso and arms are fine, but like everyone's mentioned,
>those fucking pathetic hideous legs
Did a monkey design this?
>>6399041
You just didn't get an ass copy ya dingus. Bee is the least consistent release since fucking rodimus prime.
>>6398900
>>6398906
>>6398908
Legends-sized Micromasters based on the classic models with some proper cyberverse engineering would be the tits.
>>6398866
The lack of integrated leg transformation is what kills it. He just looks like he's standing on shoeboxes.
>>6398753
Those swivel problems are universal for Roadbuster's figure, it's really not a good mold.
>>6399056
Hasbro also released an Axer homage as a retool of the Generations Lockdown mold.
But Funpub did a lot more of these AM homages so the majority of them were exclusive club material. For instance they released another Krok based on the Thrilling 30 Megatron Mold. Jackpot from Animated Jazz. Kickoff from Generations Jazz. Treadshot from the Deluxe Warpath. Circuit from the Generations Lockdown Mold. And a better Banzaitron imo from the Energon Mirage one.
>>6398963
You're right, he's actually better than the new Legends God Ginrai.
>>6399066
The sad part is that the only reason they probably didn't do that was due to the wheels next to Ginrai's legs. If it was shortened, the ankles would barely get any articulation.
>>6398630
It is absolutely and I'm waiting for a Generations Demolishor and maybe an attempt at Blackout to complete the team.
>>6399068
doesn't help that the QC was pretty bad for that part of thrilling30
>>6399074
Demoishor is just Onslaught with a new head
>>6399060
Guaranteed user error on almost every complaint I have seen except for one person how had a screw punched through the plastic.
I can see where noobs who have no concept of center of gravity or balance will have a hard time with this guy. His ankles are too articulated for people who are shit at posing
Just as a note he has screws everywhere so a lot of joints can be tightened if need be
>>6399081
Takara dindu nuffin. Snapped limbs are hamhanding. We did it again takarafriends. I wish I could pay more for this tiny shit figure. All complaints are lies against the mighty Takara. *Slurping noises*
I got Hot Rod, Highbrow, Scourge, and Topspin today, and I'm waiting for payment of Seaspray, Cosmo, and Bumblebee to process
Fucking help me. I'm retarded and have problems
>>6398847
>we already have Minerva and Nightbeat heads but no Minerva / Nightbeat body
???
>>6399095
I was the same, but now I'm running out of shelf space I find it's a lot easier to control myself. I always ask "does this toy really add anything new to my collection?" before reaching for my wallet.
>>6399097
They are just there to fill out the special release of God Ginrai's boobs. Same reason why Overlord will probably get both the Sky Shadow and Overlord releases in the west's heads.
>>6399090
Hey I'm just sayin, mine is fine. Like, completely fine. Just like every single other Takara MP I have, which is over half of all releases
The masterpiece TF line is probably the ONLY line where I have never had a single breakage ever.
I'm not some Takara fanboy I just trust their engineering over a echo chamber of obese, MLP fapping, hamanded autists. Yep.
Do you even have the figure??
>>6399107
I'm actually wondering if they'll release a Hosehead over here, we probably have one more wave before TR ends.
>>6399109
I'm trying to decide if I want to add some paint details to him.
Stuff to make him a bit more accurate. But then it's also painting a MP figure.
>>6399090
>tiny
>>6399115
What do you want to paint? The only major missing details I noticed is the tiny GM badges on the doors didn't get hit with gold and the reverse lights. Debatable wether or not the tiny lights should even get paint or else they'd be "on"
>>6399090
>it's fine to bash on takara now because it's a bayformer
where were you when MP-36 came out, bro?
>>6399136
Was thinking the lights, give them a glossy look, the rubber trim around the windows.
>>6399109
>The masterpiece TF line is probably the ONLY line where I have never had a single breakage ever.
You've broken figures in every other TF line and you're calling other people hamhanded? Also calm down on the edge.
>>6399153
Maybe because the way they implemented his smaller wings is a fucking joke. They don't even bother adding in a rotation joint so they aren't upside down.
>>6397981
And what would the link between Nitro Zeus and Shockwave be?
>>6399187
Nitro Zeus is a huge Shockwave fanboy and had his head remodeled to look like Shocker's.
>>6399206
Soundwave think he slick
>>6399196
Where does it say that?
>>6399241
It was in some promotional comic that came out sometime back just before the film. I'm drawing a blank on where it was from exactly or how you could get it but I think it was apart of the Chinese promotions.
Should I be ashamed of myself if I couldn't figure out how to transform Nightstick without looking at the instructions?
Hidden slide mechamism always fucking ruin my attempts at blind transformations.
>>6398826
You shall not insult the prettiest robot I own.
I think Twinferno is my new favorite bot ever
>>6399270
>>6399275
>people saved that pic
I really should do an updated version of that. It looks so bad.
Which deluxe-sized Scourge should I get to go alongside my Henkei versions of Galvatron and Cyclonus? The Titans Return version looks incredibly bland and poorly deco'd, should I search for the 2011 version instead? Also, is the 2006 Titanium Series any good or is it shite like almost everything released in that subline?
>>6399145
Of course you're here taking about figures you don't own that's pretty edgy yourself
>>6399282
I'll never understand why someone would want a Scourge.
>>6399297
To complete the season 3 main villain trio, maybe?
Bread is already autosaging, new one:
>>6399317
>>6399297
He was a main character in the movie and Season 3...
>>6399282
>Henkei Scourge if you can afford it, Generations if you can't
>yes
>mediocre for its time, really shitty now.
>>6399614
Still better than the current Cuckmaster Scourge.
