I'd rather some things got a downsize. Most of the MP line could use cutting down to Voyager at most for the bigger 'bots like Optimus, and Deluxe for the rest.

jesus you can fit a little kid in there

>>6401015
Nonsense, Super Ginrai would need to be 5 feet tall so the kid can combine with the trailer.

Awesome ideas that hasbro would never do:
I'll start
Blind bags that contain fully-detailed headmaster-like figures of characters from previous series

They ain't got enough plastic in China to scale FortMax.

So, I had a tattoo idea at work

Instead of getting two separate tattoos of The Punisher skull and the Autobot insignia, how about combining the two?

An Autobot insignia stylized as the Punisher skull.

I'm not a fan of tattoo text, but my friend said something along the lines of "Punishment is the right of all guilty beings."

>>6401037
But Fortress (the head) was the same size as Chromedome and the gang...

This guy and voyager Megatron are actually making me consider buying the toys again, which I haven't done since ROTF.

>>6401031
I'd be all over this shit, but unless the next line has headmasters too, it's too late for this.

>>6401048
Hes alright, but the "worst" titan cityformer (Metro still the best), if you only want one, go for Tryp, even with his exploding hips hes a better toy.

>>6401031
I'm pretty disappointed they didn't do a blind bag series with recolored Heads across all the Titanmaster releases, I'd be nice getting some figures that matched the colors of the TM compatible toys.

Just make sure you get the Hasbro retail version. The SDCC version breaks if you look at it because the fucking 'tards made load bearing joints out of clear plastic, and the Takara version glued the fucking legs shut so you can't improve on the shitty city form by fanmoding it to something better.

Yup, it's the retail Hasbro version, the one that was 40$ on 'Murican stores a few weeks ago.

>>6401053
Always found the Master Sword to be really retarded, so guess I'm fine with that.

>>6401057
Oh my, is he actually considered the worst? Not sure if this might be because I've been trying to build the G1 version out of spares in Ebay but Fortress has always my favorite out of the city bots and honestly, from the pics and reviews alone, it does look more appealing to me than Thrilling 30 Metroplex.

>>6401083
>Oh my, is he actually considered the worst?

Theres nothing functionally wrong with him. He just kind of has boring alt modes really. But thats also pretty accurate to the original figure as well. Still, they could've done better with the city mode, but you can fanmode it into better stuff very easily.

>>6401072
I'm not excusing takara on that pointless decision, but its quite easy to break that glue seal.

>>6401083
>>6401086
He's also kind of lacking in terms of accessories. Metro lacked things but he still had plenty to work with, Devastator got an upgrade with the United release, but Fortress lacked both his handled weapons, his sword, and Cog.

I at least wanted the Hasbro release to have the small, normal handheld gun, but it was box art only. It didn't help that Takara just added the sword and nothing else.

>>6401083
>is he actually considered the worst?

Yeah, his botmode is his best mode, but he lost his knuckle and arm guns, his rifle, twin barrel gun, waist cannons and his sword (retail), shipmode has a short tower without guns and short ramps, city, well thats his worst mode, shouldn't need to explain, also no Cog dronebots.

>>6401080
Is it bad that the only figures that appeal to me are the ones from the movies? I never liked the blocky designs of the originals.

You wouldn't see stress marks. It'd just break while moving it. Mine was fine for months, no stress marks, nothing.

Cracked a week or so ago out of the blue while transforming him. Now it's held on by the red rubbery bits. It didn't break all the way though, perhaps I could glue it without fucking up the rest of it, but I'm loathe to try.

>>6401100
Looks exactly like the one I got back in wave 2. From what I've heard, even if it looks good, it could still break (mine hasn't broken, yet).

>>6401080
I'm just getting back into transformers after not having any interest since, well, the 1980s. I grew up watching the original show and playing with the figures but moved on to other toys and shows. Just tonight I purchased my first tfs in like 30 years, some smaller titans return figures as they're on sale everywhere this week.
What are some awesome figures (official or 3rd party) that you guys would recommend to a new collector? I'm looking at Takara MP 36, Wei Jiang MPP10, Maketoys Striker Noir, and Cloud 9 Quakeblast as well as many of the KO masterpiece figures.

I'd be remiss if I said this guy was an exception to the widespread QC crisis. It took two coats of floor polish to get his wings stable. Every other joint was actually usable, but I still coated them anyways. Once the joints were tight, I couldn't put him down.

Why is it that movie voyager hound, with thin tiny hands that fold in, can have wrist swivel, yet his wave mate voyager megatron, with his bigger meatier hands, cannot?

I've always excused the lack of wrist swivel BECAUSE of plastic tolerances but this is most bizarre, ok sure the leader can do this but why can the fat man with the tiny hands do something others can't?

I think Steelbane/Skullitron highlights the difference between bad QC and bad engineering. With bad QC, the design is good, but the final fit isn't up to snuff. Bad engineering is where the mold itself hinders the way the toy should work. The transformation is actually really imaginative, even if the end result isn't that impressive, and everything tabs into place and has a swivel to adjust where parts sit. It's a miracle they even added wrist swivels considering the parts count.

Only posing problem with him is his shoulder pauldrons. They keep his arms from going out fully to the sides due to their size. Still, he can do the mandatory Knight pose, so he has a leg up on most other Sword weilding Transformers in this line.

Dragon mode is shockingly naff though. Neckfoot is as obtuse as you think it is and it's very gappy on the back, almost as if the figure was intended to be larger and seat a rider once-upon-a-time.

My solution to his rather deformed look is to embrace it, and have him bipedal, hunched and 'cloaked' by his wings so he almost gives off a Dark Crystal vibe.

You can also store the sword on his hip Windblade style using the altmode tab. It sticks straight out, so you have to finesse the wings a bit to make it look nice.
>>6401302
Dang, that part of the wing is hard plastic too. Still doesn't look noticeable if you don't point it out. I always take out the plastic tray and push out the plastic tags from behind. It's a bitch, but it means no damage most of the timee. I wish they went back to twine. That stuff was so easy tonget off without cutting tools.

Altmode is definitely where the quality dips. Really like it since he looks like the giant claw. It gets a lot of love just from how he forms. You split him in half and rotate his legs to get a straight Dragon mode.

>>6401305
>>6401306
Anything to hide the gaps in the neck. On a figure with robot hands on the calves, it somehow has bigger problems. I wonder if at some point, the feet would have been able to fip around and cover the leg backs. That would have been really complicated to engineer, so we'll just have to wait for Blackapple to try it.

Unfortunately, you really can't get too many good poses of him from beneath. Non swooping down to scoop up unsuspecting cattle with those static hindlegs. Plus the leg gaps again. He needs to be as flat as possible to be presentable from the sides, so I keep him quadrupedal.
>>6401314
That's fair. I managed to get Skullitron on a special with the Optimus two pack, so it stung a little less. I honestly would recommend Steelbane more because, as great as a Zombie knight is, that clean helmet design just can't be beat if it's cheaper.

For as flawed as the dragon mode is, I can't help but enjoy it. It's great to finally have a bad movie beast to face off against the Dinobots. One against 7 plus three dragons is a little lopsided, but underrepresentation is the least of the movie's problems. If you can't find something to like in altmode, you might still enjoy the robot, so I'll give Skully a recommendation on a sale.

Same boat as >>6401349 like I said, the rest of the balljoints were functional, but you could still shake them out of position easily. Oddly enough, he has soft detented ankles and ratcheted elbows, both of which are perfectly tight.

All the reports say that only its balljoints that are weak, so it's nothing too catastrophic. I do understand the hesitation since these guys shouldn't need fixes when they're even more expensive. I'll just say that his QC is not as disastrous as Berserker's incredible pop-off panels, but his wings come close.

>>6401501
It really is sickening. I kinda want to get the TLK reissue but I'm not sure I can stomach the inflated price. And given that I'm mainly in it for the planet mode I might as well get creative and make my own non-transforming model of Cybertron.

A shame Cyberverse died in the arse, because an expanding "titan class" playset of Cybertron that opened out into a diorama or something would have been awesome, even if it was based on the Movieverse "beehive" Cybertron.

SDCC has that covered, its still not 100% accurate but the truck is just about movie perfect with the rims done up, and bot mode as you see here, he also comes in a spiffy box and includes a piece of tire from the actual truck.

Yep, you're paying for slightly more paint and a piece of rubber from a truck's tire, isn't that better than a sdcc trypticon?

Jazz is theoretically possible, if they can get mp bumblebee from volkswagon and work around the hoodsplit on sunstreak jazz WILL happen, when, could be a long time coming...

Cliffjumper is a whole other battle, if he comes he'll need to be licensed, and unless there is some literal mass shifting akin to a megatron in your pocket he won't scale with bee nor will his alt mode be toon accurate UNLESS they tell Porche to fuck off, make an approximation of his alt mode that, while will please g1 fans car purist will be scarified.

Cling to hope anon, we'll get them all eventually

>>6401602
How does it? The fact that I liked the other ones and could see clear as day as to how poor it was in comparision to them shows how bad it was.

>>6401623
Well, some third parties have been able to create a mildly realistic Porsche 924 (not totally accurate but still with the same general shape and basically only lacking a few paint apps) that turns into a proportionate Cliffjumper and still remains on scale with other car robots, pic very much related. The X-Transbots version appears to be even better, although they only have CG renders of it as of now. So yes, I think it's entirely possible for them to design a "non-chibi" version of Cliffjumper that pleases Porsche.

Also, last year was the 40th anniversary of the 924 and Porsche sold a bunch of merch based on it, Takara totally wasted an opportunity there.

>>6401630
Ah yes, I remember that thing, wonder if takara will go that way or ...try to try to do both.

Both as in please porche while making an alt mode that scales with bee's alt mode, normally I wouldn't think this but the whole focus on cartoon accuracy and the last few bots we had made me think that, least sunstreaker can switch from real altmode to cartoon/toy alt mode

>>6401619
I'm thinking of just getting the Hasbro retail versions of TLK Voyager Optimus Prime and Voyager Megatron and just custom painting them myself.

I would buy Takara if they actually commit to the molds and run it into the ground paint wise, but I want to actually finally be happy with two great molds.

>>6401607
This is what people said about Bumblebee. Money solves all problems.

I'm more worried that Jazz is happening within the Nu-MP design phase, where his alt mode is going to be bland and mostly white, with no homage to his actual toy/race car deco.

>>6401630
or they could ditch the licenses and make a penny racer car, but that would hurt the feelings of whiny collectors who can't just buy a cheap die cast car for that.

For anyone who has it how's the Titans Return Soundwave? I've thought about snagging one but it looks pretty uncomfortably hollow and flimsy.

There's a local seller with LOTS of G1 figures for sale. Normally, he can take used figure and give a small store credit. But the guy had almost ALL the G1 Action Masters, most complete. Even the European Elites and special decos!

For some reasons, he didn't felt he'd ever sell them and he offered me a 1:1 exchange rate for them. So I brought him around 1500$ in value of random common figures (movies, generations, beast wars) and I got ALL of his Action Masters. In fact, I think I even made 500$ in profit just because of how cheap the Action Masters Elites went.

Even though I find the Action Masters fun and hilarious, between "retarded" and "awesome" how do you guys rate this trade?

>>6401774
>raising the retail prices thanks to hefty licensing fees for tiny details that don't even matter because the robot mode should be the focus and is the mode 99% of collectors will display in

Oh no, they might have to change that square to an oval without the license! Toy is RUINED!

As usual, Hasbro fans prove they are basically too dumb for their own good. Bumblebee is a worse toy for the license because it had to have so much extra mass to the car, tacking on a pointless and inaccurate backpack and arm kibble to please a few "muh license" assholes. They were worse than Sideswipe's damn tail end hanging carelessly off his ankles.

>>6401829
Jesus fucking Christ that's incredible. I guess that he felt it would be difficult to shift them because they're 'Transformers that don't transform'?

At any rate, nice one, dude. Always cool and ever-impressive to have a complete line of figures.

>>6401845
Fuck off, geewunner. If you even admit all you people care about is the fucking robot mode, they should just make a series of 100% accurate, non-transforming action figures for you sunbow faggots, and let the MP line go back to being actual, good toys for the rest of us.

There are plenty of people that like Transformers but also like real cars and good engineering/transformations, and we're not nearly as butthurt over the minor inaccuracies caused by licensing, because we're actually impressed at the good engineering and balance of compromise that led to a toy that looks great in both modes. I mean, unless you're a sunbow-loving faggot that thinks lazy korean animation actually looks good, then there's no help for you.

>>6401867
Geewuner of sorts here, one of the reasons for me to like the original toys is also precisely because they have realistic-looking vehicles, some of them even more than modern figures. There's no reason for so many other Geewuners to dislike MPs that turn into credible vehicles, it's just childish.

Yeah, the average joe that go into the store will just see some bright neon kids toys. As for the "hardcore fan" he's just laugh at them. But they are still loved enough to fetch some decent prices on the Bay.

Like Pic related. The Action Masters Elites here are 100% complete, very clean and unbroken. He sold them for 80$CAN each. I gave him some random trash bought on sale for these four. Still, that "trash" will be an easier sell at his store. By the way, the Elites were the only Action Masters that actually transformed... by partforming and doing yoga. They are horrible and fun at the same time.

Anyway, I only saw Double Punch (Scorpio guy) and Omega Spreem (Yellow "tank") on Ebay 100% complete... at over 200$CAN each! As for the other two, Windmill (helicopter) and Turbo Master (plane), they were impossible to find but missing lots of parts, both were stupidly expensive. I really scored big time!
... And I don't plan to ever sell them.

Now all I need is to find the very few bits and characters that I miss and I'll have a 100% complete collection!

What's cool about the Action Masters is that they were G1's death rattle.

So Titan Returns Twinferno is going to get redecoed into Hun-Gurr and or Sinnertwin, right? I mean it's not like once you make one two-headed dragon dude you need to make another one, unless people are really preferential about whether dragon heads turn into arms or legs.

I got Sky Shadow and I gotta say that his color scheme is fucking beautiful. Just that nice mix of black and limited red, with some grey bits and silver. I love the copper on the back of his jet half, make him feel fancy.


I'm sure this has been asked before, but could anyone pants swap him and Overlord for a pic?

Yo, it's the anon from >>6401048 who was asking about feedback on getting TR Fortress Maximus. The problem is, I'm also currently trying to expand towards classic Beast Wars figures and recently stumbled upon a couple of excellent lots in my country for 100€ (six MiB 10th anniversary figures with Transmutate included in one for 70€ and a couple of loose Takara figures in the other for 30€), should I invest in those instead since they'll probably not be around for long and could pretty much fill up an entire new section of my collection?

I still want to get Maximus at a later point but seeing how heavily Metroplex rose in price throughout these last two years makes me fear that simply waiting a few months to get one will force me to pay double the price for it. Is this a tangible fear or am I just paranoid? Should I just stop being a pussy and get those Beast Wars while holding out on Maximus or should I just rush to get him instead?

Also, fuck scalpers.

Post vehicles you want a Transformer of. I have such a stiffy for old Caddies, and old race cars. This would be a dream come true, but it sucks that it can literally never happen because the entire market is nothing but well-known Geewun characters.

I would love a spin-off toyline that just takes random, interesting vehicles throughout history and makes them into nobody transformers just for shits. Too bad it would never sell because 90% of the people in this fandom are only in it because of that miserable '80s cartoon. Not even turd parties will touch it.

Back when it was just a harmless blockbuster with technically impressive visuals and a simple but enjoyable narrative that didn't make anyone want to commit suicide. Anyone else remembers thinking about how cool it was that Transformers were going to become the hallmark franchise of an entire generation rather than the laughing stock the sequels turned it into? Good old times indeed.

Speaking as someone who has a genuine distaste for how obnoxious modern cinema is, I still find the first movie to be far more tame and cohesive than the sequels. Sure, it's still a dumb blockbuster made for the masses that obviously doesn't hold up as some sort of erudite piece that will be studied by academics alongside Kubrick and Tarkovsky films, but at the very least I can watch it and feel like my crave for a giant goofy morning cartoon made into life action was satisfied.

>>6402507
>It was always bogged down with crude sex jokes and human focus.
The human focus was necessary in the first film. You have to introduce your alien robots somehow, and doing so through a simpleton relatable teenager is almost screenwriting 101 for how basic and effective it is. As for the sex jokes, the only mildly crude one I can remember was that incredibly awkward masturbation discourse from Sam's mother, but even that wasn't anywhere close to humping dogs or two characters debating their sex life for a full minute or a cybertronian artifact inside Marky Mark's pants or any of the other cringe-worthy shit in the sequels. All the humor was incredibly tame and sometimes even surprisingly effective in comparison to the originals, there's nothing genuinely horrifying about it.

>>6402500
If only these movies featured less of the humans,poor comedy, and everything else that turns people off from these movies and maybe focused more on the war between the bots then people might've still cared

I know that feeling, also been trying to get a Bruticus as my only complete CW but even the shitty repaint version of Blast Off is ludicrously expensive. Try going for a loose version, maybe? Otherwise I can't personally recommend you any other CW limp Decepticon because I didn't really like any CW figure besides Brawl in the first place.

That was pretty idiotic in retrospective but I guess it does make sense from a mechanical standpoint since he turns into a car? It wasn't like he physically had dangling metal balls or anything.

Also, two mildly crude scenes still do not bring it to the level of shitty humor RotF and TLK had.

>crude humor and jokes in Beast Wars
>This is so charming and classically cartoony; you just don't like fun and besides it was only a few episodes!

>>6402527
While I'm not going to defend Murderprime's characterization, I actually like scenes like that because it means they put in some attention to detail to how enormous and powerful the cybertronians are, and it added a bit of subtle realism. Good guy or not a 10 ton giant robot in your backyard is gonna be breaking shit, if Prime walked on sod without leaving footprints or set his hand on a wood trellis without shattering it it would just look ridiculous and fake.

Still kind of ridiculous having the good guys trash a backyard, though, don't get me wrong.

Is this bait? Not just were the crude jokes in Beast Wars at the very least contextualized to be genuinely subtle and humorous euphemisms that actually contributed to developing the personality of the characters (e.g., Rattrap's "find any new positions?" dialogue with Silverbolt when he shamefully returns from "scouting the enemy") but they weren't intrusively spread throughout the entirety of every goddamn episode. You didn't get Optimus Primal stopping in the middle of an action sequence to comment about how he's behind Tarantula's scrotum or Megatron arguing with Blackarachnia about their sex life, they were just quick subtle giggles with at the very least some creative employed in their execution. Even if the humor in Beast Wars was actually as obnoxious as the Bay films, you would still at the very least have an otherwise cohesively written script with interesting characters and memorable set pieces.

Also FYI, if you were interested in the Weijiang one, unless you ordered it SUPER early, like, before we even started talking about it in this thread, then you're probably getting the 2nd batch with a different paintjob, which I'm not a fan of. In the 2nd patch they sprayed paint over the clear red plastic parts, like the sword, to create a fading effect. If you have Black Apple Evasion Prime, you've seen it on the axe. I'm not a fan of this personally at all so I'm basically just gonna get the Voyager from Walmart now. At least I know I can exchange my copy if there's something wrong with it.

Sure, the Generations Legends have always been great since they're meant to compliment the Deluxes, but I've always had a thing for the smaller sized ones that were done all up until Prime and the third film and yet were simply left out of the AoE. Glad to know they're finally making new molds of those.

>>6402598
Not sure, but I don't think you have to worry about this stressing out or damaging anything. Since you're basically using the articulated legs to grab onto the voyager.

No. The only potential paint scraping issues are:
>the undersides of the feet, which are painted and make up a part of the vehicle mode's back. There are raised bumps to minimize contact with the ground though.
>two small panels on either side of his hips that the wheels will brush up against if you turn his waist
>the nozzle hand will scrape against the inside of his bicep if you try to flip it out while the arm is perfectly straight
>a very tiny area on the roof of the vehicle mode cab where the head section rests on and rubs up against in robot mode

Other than those minor things the guy has like no paint issues or clearance issues whatsoever. You can transform him and articulate him without letting a single painted surface touch another one. Same goes for Artfire as well. Grapple has some paint rub issues though, unfortunately, Mostly having to do with his crane and how it transforms.
