Name one

I had to become a takaracuck because I can't abide by these shitty foil stickers Hasbro is using on voyagers and leaders.

Exposed internal mechanics are cool

>>6405072

SDCC version has breakage issues, Takara version you have to break to make any of the far superior fan modes. This is one time where the basic Hasbro version has everything else beat because it didn't add fuckup's like the others did.

>>6405226
Devastator
Ginrai
Megaempress/Dolrailer
Scattershot
Vortex

>>6405226
LG Kup.

>>6405269
I'm probably alone here, but I prefer TR Kup. I like his G1 toy colors, and really don't mind the aggressive use of aqua on his arms.

I'm not even a Hasbrocuck but if we're doomed to having shitty paintjobs from now on then it's preferable to have decals as an option over no decals at all. They can work decently in some figures that are deliberately copying their G1 toy aesthetics, like most TRs were, after all that's basically what Reprolabels has been doing for almost over a decade now. As long as Hasbro doesn't use including stickers as an excuse to further simplify paintjobs then it's fine for me.

Where the fuck do I buy these Polyfect toys? The very few Ebay sellers and websites I can find with them on stock are giving him away for 20 to 30 fucking dollars, which is absurd for something as rudimentar as a KO. Should I just scout every budget convenience store in my hometown until I stumble upon these being sold again?

Yep, that's a really good reason. Thanks for clarifying it for the people who don't understand why there are two transformer generals.

>>6405298
If anything, MPfags and Cacaracucks should get their own threads. They trigger the fuck out of turd enthusiasts and they remind these dirt-grubbing retailplebs just how poor and miserable they are.

It makes more sense for turd party and mp to be one thread. Call it import general so the poorfags can be left alone.

>>6405298
Anon please stop, we have enough trouble with the Takara/Hasbro fights.

I'm beginning to believe it's not even started by transformers collectors but assholes from other threads deliberately starting shit here because for whatever reason multiple Tf threads trigger the fuck out of them.

>>6405310
I've never bought a single Transformer in my life, but I just lurk these threads and never post. I keep telling myself I will buy one eventually, but then I never know which one I want.

I did consider the Kabaya kits but surprisingly enough, they actually appear to be more rudimentar than the KO. I mean, sure, at the very least they also have an actual transformable Cerebros, but still, that Fortress probably doesn't look half as good on display.

Also, are those tiny transformable versions of Powerglide and Windcharger? I've never heard about these before, what the fuck?!

Monkey's Paw, wish for Blitzwing to get a new mold even though it's only been a year since Generations, get a cooler mold at the cost of taking off the insignias.

>>6405343
yeah, powerglide and windcharger are transformable.

Though no other city bot is on the line though. Right now, Kabaya is more interested in reusing modern mold instead of coming out with new item.

>>6405347

How much is it? I'd say if they're the price of your average Voyager then just go for it.

About 3 to 4 bucks cheaper than local Voyager.

It is literally the same price as two (modern larger) legion class

I can't tell the difference, I'm under the impression buying that box set completes the duo's, and you aren't buying the figures FROM the original box sets again

>>6405576
There are two different two-packs. The ones that AREN'T in the boxsets are Walgreens exclusive and come with Cloudraker and Wingspan.

There's another Amazon exclusive one that's the ones that were from the boxset, Fastlane and Pounce.

>>6405579
...so you're telling me I can get fastlane and pounce TWICE from 2 different packs?

...ah fuck hasbro, if takara doesn't make them its money saved

If Hasbro were smart (and greedy) they would've released this two pack first to sucker everyone into getting them, THEN the box sets with the other two clones to prey on the OCD.

>>6405584
Actually, if they were smart and greedy, they would've put up preorders on their abortion of a website (HTS) and nobody would've bothered with Walmart and Walmartians.

I find it kind of hilarious how LG Soundwave can be found for reasonable prices while LG Super Ginrai is astronomically expensive.

I know it has new tooling but that's kind of ridiculous.

It's not just a retool, it's a retool exclusive either to Japan or a boxset that was available for the 5 minutes you were away from the computer. It also has compatibility with another figure that the Hasbro version doesn't. It's what everyone wanted in the forst place, barring the feet, and they're willing to pay for it.

Goddamnit, what really pisses me off about Air Raid is that I've always wanted a jetliner in Transformers. The concept is great, the overall figure isn't all that atrocious, but lord, the flimsy proportions and the fugly paintjob make me puke. Give us airplane autists a proper Airbus / Boeing once and for all, Hasbro.

>>6405558

MP Omega Supreme is like 2ft tall. How the fuck big would an MP Metro be, considering he dwarfs most everything, except for the obligatory FortMax, whom Metro doesn't even come up to his shin.

>>6405514
Where you at?

>>6405897
What about that other big jet that was from the RotF toyline I think? It was grey with orange limbs iirc

>>6405941
Stratosphere, right? The Antonov? He's both terrible in terms of proportions and not a jetliner. Still an enjoyable figure for size alone, and the smallest Optimus in the world is a neat company to emphasize how big the plane is, but it's still a bit of a wasted opportunity desu.

Maybe Hasbro simply can't design proper wide body aircraft?

Hailstorm is pretty cheap, but because highbrow is a geewun name he's ridiculously expensive.

>>6406132
That's a shame, anon. Highbrow's been pretty common over here for a while up until very recently.

If it makes you feel any better he's got a bobblehead issue - his neck is wobbly as fuck and I don't think his joint pops all the way down properly. It stays in place but it's a very weird fit, none of my other guys do that.

Story in a similar vein.

Transforming Spacecase(the terradive repaint) after taking him out of storage. Notice stress marks in the translucent plastic. Panic. Hit it with a heat gun and the stress marks disappear.

Almost. They're invisible to the naked eye from arms length, but holding it in hand I can still see them (then again, I know exactly where they are).

>>6406789
Yeah it's a known design issue due to the port being too thin. It's best to sand down the HFG peg.

I know on UW-EX Baldigus, this port is thickened.

Somehow the general /toy/ enjoyment feels worse when you're not too well paid.

>>6406814
I think every single one of my CW/UW deluxes' HFG port is cracked or stressed in some way. Those little 5mm ports are just under too much stress, they should have come up with something else that's much more robust.

That said though, blade's HFG port is the only one I fear will break and become unusable some day. The plastic is just too thin. Thankfully I have him as an arm so it doesn't have to support any more weight than a hand and sometimes a gun.

Also, speaking of this, does Megatronia/Victorion have the fixed HFG ports on the helicopter fembots?

>>6406826
Megatronia's helicopter twins have reinforced HFG ports, and the plastic feels much better than past UW releases. Unless you put something too big for them in there (like the V1 Nonnef feet) they should be fine.

That is such a shame. I mean, your opinion is valid, but some of the best figures are the random dudes. Artfire in particular blows Inferno and Grapple out of the water.

I'm also partial to these two carbots as a semi-threatening henchmen duo. One of the best things about nobodies is that I can inject them with some of my own character traits. It makes the figures feel more unique than just being "that dude from that cartoon"

>>6407086
I was pretty poor and didn't have any. I pretended some hot wheels were them.

>>6407097
In that case, just track down the updated toys of whatever characters you liked the most. There's no need to track down a G1 brick if you don't have nostalgia concerning the figure itself.

>>6407102
Thanks it's more about the character than the specific toy I could have had. I've just tried to walk around toy stores and only seen ones that didn't really resemble what I knew.

>>6407058

The prototype we saw of him was done almost entirely in pink plastic. Not surprising they cheaped out and just probably cast him almost entirely in pink and just painted the few non-pink bits.

Topspin and Triggerhappy, of course MP bee has more detail, thing is, there are tons of Bees, and some have done things better than the MP, like better looking mask, non-dead eyes, better paint finish and non-reversed wings on the backpack, all those make MMP Bee look less impresive, while Triggerhappy and Topspin are completely fresh experiences, the 3p Topspin was alight but not as good as the TR.

Anyway, opinions, all subjective.

From your descriptions heres what I think they could be.

Possible jets: The Seeker's and Coneheads (Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Thurst, Dirge, Ramjet), maybe Blastoff (he was a shuttle, so kind of close), Broadside (jet and aircraft carrier), Jetfire (literally a Marcross Valkyrie in G1 toy form), most of the Arielbots (Slingshot, Firefly, Silverbolt, I forget the other two).

Helicopter was possibly Sandstorm or Vortex.

>>6407129
Here, choose the color of the toy you are looking for and then the altmode (car, jet, etc).

http://tfu.info/ID/index.htm

>>6407142
Jetfire was his name, and vortex

Nifty, and yeah I think I liked the macross vfx PS1 demo/game because of him.

>>6407154
It occurs to me as I look through these and the wiki, that most of them look less than stellar in one or both forms because of the compromises needed for the transforming mechanic. This is probably very cliche as well, but I think I'd rather have a fairly faithful version, perhaps paired with a painted model of their transformed version together.

Oh and prowl!

Has anyone tried to sand down the paint around the hinges and tabs of MP Megatron?

>>6407096
I often prefer characters I don't know that much or seen in a show because of the same idea. Characters that appeared on shows kind of have a "tainted" character to them, like, I'll still keep seeing the screen character in them all the time and limit what I can imagine it doing a little.

I want that Ligier guy but I have outspent myself at the moment and it's likely I'll do it again when I get back to buying. I don't like MPs that much.

Hey, is the color of Misfire's thighs the same as Triggerhappy? I have an extra one that I'm going to sell and if they're the same color, I'll just swap them.

>>6407226
The hip is the same color but the thigh is black-plastic coated white.

>>6407234
So I'll look fine if a swap the thighs. Thanks.

>Black plastic

What other part is molded in black? The feet?

>>6407240
Feet and the TM's thighs. I can't tell if the Misfire-face is cast- or coated-black.

>>6407246
Face is probably painted, going by other TM's with different colored thighs.

finally had some time to screw around with Megatron. He looks so fucking good, but man is he a bitch to transform without any paint scratching.

I think he is fated to stay as a robot for the foreseeable future. I fucking love everything about him, I will admit.

>track down one of the figures you actually had as a kid
One of the few guys I remember having was Seaspray. He was so simple but I remember just fiddling with him back and forth, back and forth, and his was one of the few G1 episodes I remembered seeing, since I'm sure I was very little at the time.

It's cathartic in a way to have this figure now, and for it to be such a good one at that. I don't know if I still have the original but someday I'll have to rummage through the attic to see if he got tossed in with the hot wheels cars or something.

>>6407276
Oh, also I'm not that anon, I just meant to comment that looking up guys you used to have/like is a good plan that I would recommend to people.

>design from 2007 gets a figure
>rushed

Huh?

What makes you think this figure hasn't been designed years ago? Where was it stated that this figure was fast tracked? Nothing about this figure feels rushed, poorly designed, or half assed in any way as far as I'm concerned. On the contrary the design seems quite thoughtful and elegant to me.

Heck with Figure of the year this may be the best transformers figure ever made. But don't take my word for it listen to the autists on tfw and continue to comment on figures you don't own

When are we getting another line like alternators?

I just want some neat TFs that turn into licensed vehicles that don't sacrifice everything to look like a 30 year old commercial

>>6407295
Only problem I have with it is how the hood doesn't compress for robot mode, causing the wings to sit way back.

>>6407316
Check out the movie line, sounds right up your alley.

>>6405805
I like his design, but he's not an Air Raid to me.

>>6406026
Yes. He's one of the best TR figures overall

They are really far back, and they also don't swing upward enough for my liking either. That and the hinge-only thumbs are my biggest gripes whichI feel are minor converns when looking at this piece as a whole

>>6407324
How about some with good robot modes though? Rather than a pile of scrap metal?

You really can't argue for

>cheaps out with slapping stickers on voyager and leader toys
>doesn't bother painting headmaster robot modes
>can't match plastic and paint colors; especially with yellow toys such as TR Bumblebee and Weirdwolf

These are legitimately poor decisions.

That doesn't mean they're out, they're just getting some cases leaked out early. You wouldn't say "new video game" is out just cause a mom and pop store broke street date.

What would be a good question I wonder? Why didn't they do the horrorcons and the rest of the og headmasters? there's one.

I remember one year some faggot in a pony costume somehow got the mic, real dumb.

>>6407342
I don't have him yet but I honestly can't imagine the hood/wings situation really bothering me much, considering a more compressed body would just wins up having the arms bang up against the wings constantly like MP Tracks. Plus, considering the torso is hiding all the windshield, having a longish body is a good compromise for virtually no backpack.

I didn't even think about that

>>6407276
Same. Mine was G2. I know I didn't get rid of him, but he definitely ended up in a weird place somewhere.

>>6407268
That is not a flattering angle for this figure. Especially for his arms.

>>6407095
Artfire is way better than MPM Bee. And I'm not even Artfire-anon.

>>6407095
Different anon here, but TR figures have a lot of what I like to call "fiddle-factor". They're amazingly fun to transform, and the titan master gimmick adds a lot of play value in both modes. Even though all of my MP figures are better engineered and nicer to look at, TR figures are just extremely fun toys, and I find myself playing with them and enjoying them a lot more than most of my MPs.

>>6407274

There were a ton when he was released.

tl;dr He pretty much is a non-transforming action figure unless you want him to look like he got tossed down a gravel driveway. Also, never use the silencer attachment, it can easily break him. If you want a Megs you can transform, go get Despotron.

>>6407121
That picture right there pretty much sums up what I like so much about TR. Weird, random bots with tons of gimmicks and great ways to interact. Super fun to play with, and it's probably the only way we'll ever get to see interesting characters like Doublecross or Weirdwolf.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good MP, but they're just so cut and dry right now.

Do they even sell toys of these "Desert camouflage" modes they keep using in nu-RiD?

> tfw you transform mp36 without instructions for the first time.

Seriously though you need to sand down the inside of his back flap where the head fits in alt mode. That's the one place you really don't want to scratch.

>>6406398
You my nigga, the Neo Geo is GOAT. What games?

>>6407255
I'm tempted to get that Megatron but I got burned on the first Masterpiece Megs. And this one looks absolutely terrifying to transform

Is this on the same size as the Deluxes or is it a smaller Cyberverse-like figure? If it's the former then I'll totally want it as my default CHUG Soundwave.

>>6407554
Pretty sure it's meant to fit into the current Legends scale since there's a couple deluxe soundwaves floating around officially.

>>6407584
Aw, that's a pity, because I prefer the visuals of that over any of the Deluxe-based ones. Are there any size comparison pics with official figures? :/

>>6407554
It's legends scale.

3Ps are almost always either legends or MP.

>>6407456
see, it's not really the transformation that's so difficult; it's actually rather straightforward. There are many more spots and hinges where parts swivel on others or lay on top of painted bits. After transforming him twice, my hands were covered in tiny paint flakes, though I haven't seen any real damage, it certainly isn't visible any robot mode, which is really all I care about.

>>6407503
Most all other Masterpiece figures are fun to transform, Megs is certainly not one of them. As long as you know that, then you're totally fine.

If I had to name the MP that was the most fun to transform it would have to be Star Saber or MP-10. Shockwave is a real treat too

>>6407634
Oh, one other tip I have is that you can remove his chesteplate and faceplate before you transform him to avoid damage. Sure it's partsforming, but if it preserves the life of the toy, I'm all for it

Just say you like the figure because you can make Bumblebee give someone the middle finger.

Goddamn that back is good and bad at the same time. The bottom fins are just killing it.
