Ugh. Always wanted this guy, then I resigned myself to waiting for an MP.

Anyway. Speaking of flawless figures. Pic related. Has anyone ever been completely endeared to a character simply because of the toy and not their depiction in any form of media? Anyone else feel like the desire for only figures that have appeared in the shows is stunting the toylines? Like this poor, tasteless faggot here >>6409451 I don't need a character to be showcased to me in a TV series for me to want them. I just want them to look awesome.

Awhile back someone posted pictures of an apparently upcoming reissue of MP Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy with new colors such as green instead of silver in vehicle mode and teal on the arms. I was just browsing Amiami and they have a listing for a Black Convoy reissue for December but the picture is the original color scheme (also double checked on HLJ and they have the same listing using the same pictures). What was the deal with the new color scheme and which version is that listing for?

That "new" color scheme was actually just a mock up from 2012 when the first release hadn't even happened yet. I'm willing to bet that the new version will be the same color scheme as the first release.

Do you people realize that the G1 train is not stopping?

Any and all Beast Wars characters will be G1ified and not some 1996 flesh beast and then re-used to make an actual g1 character any type of Unicron Trilogy Character already has a better G1 character established, OG RID's toyline consists of mostly repaints to begin with having Scourge Be a G2 Optimus repaint, Ruination being G1 bruticus and the 4 predacons being transmetal repaints that people originally did not care about.

Hell you got two representations of the inflated RID line in generations already. Beast Machines Bruticus in Unievrse 2.0 and Jihaxus in thrilling 30. The US toyline had to be increased from Takara's because it was so small.

>>6409534

I think people keep missing that franchises are little more than reinventing or rehashing the same characters over and over. Look at comic companies, look at other franchises long running franchises (Barbie, GI Joe, TMNT, Voltron, ANYTHING Disney, etc).

So yeah. You'll never escape G1, because it was the progenitor. Just like how Spiderman got bitten by a radioactive spider, or Wolverine is forever going to be some angry, weaponized, unkillable Canuck with fake memories no matter how many times they go "NO REALLY, THIS IS REALLY IS TRUE ORIGIN THIS TIME GUYS". I honestly feel like some people who don't think G1 will be here forever are the same people that believe Superman is really gonna stay dead forever every time he dies.

Also TF does do large cast swaps, but it also has an absolutely gigantic number of characters compared to a lot of other franchises. Shit, in IDW they've been killing minor TF's by the dozen since the comics began all those years ago, sometimes per issue, and they still haven't probably killed a tenth of the franchise off.

>>6409552

>>6409560

Thats true. But weren't those show not connected in the first place anyway? I'm not really "up" on PR lore or anything here, especially not on the Japanese versions, which probably have more cast swaps (didn't the US Green Ranger end up in like 20 of the US versions leading various teams or some crazy shit?)

Hello, /toy/bro, I want to get a wise advise from you knowledgeable gentlemen.

What should I get, Voyager Animated Blitzwing or Titans Return Voyager Blitzwing? They both look really nice (I'm a sucker for triple changers) but my budget is tight, so I really can't grab both.

>>6409568

No, I mean, aren't the Japanese PR shows not connected? Or are they?

>>6409573
lol, my bad. I don't know but I assume every few seasons they swapped out the team like their USA counterparts.

He also is just not a very good figure. The best figure is probably the TR version.

Get the TR Version of Blitzwing and get the Thrilling 30 version of Doubledealer(T30 Blitzwing retool) this way you have both molds but they're two different characters.

>>6409572
I'd get the TR version.

Ironically, that's what I thought when he first came out. But once I got him in hand, he immediately became My favorite Transformer and he has been since.

>>6409620
He's your average RiD Deluxe: nice design, surprisingly solid paintjob, but in the end way too hollow and rudimentar to stand up in comparison with figures on the same scale. If you're used to the shortcomings of RiD and/or enjoy the simplicity of those figures, you might as well get him, but don't expect a pure CHUG Bludgeon.

>>6409646
How good a figure is Thunderwing? Still deciding whether or not I want to pick one up at TFcon, as a big bad guy to swoosh above my Kreons

>>6409667
I think the figure is underrated. He's a decent, fun schmup fighter with a Wing Zero esque double blaster rifle. Don't be expecting something like the hulking destroyer from IDW. If you find him cheap, I'd say he's worth picking up.

>>6409667
He's your average pre-CW Generations Deluxe: bold, creative, fun, and with a paintjob that makes you cry in nostalgia for a time when Transformers didn't suck. Go get him, anon.

>he's more like TrukkMunky Prime
No no no. He's part of a trend of American fatty primes that have been coming out since ROTF: prime with Jetfire parts, Beast Hunters Prime, RID15 Prime, Combiner Wars Prime, etc. It is an awful, awful trend, and I would love to hear Hasbro's stupid reasoning for it.

Despite the stickers he's grown on me, and unlike broadside I won't have to go over him with paint, yet I still feel torn over him.

I wanted the proper laser optimus deco but the stickers on him are necessary and lack of red borders on the pylons hurt, least this one ripping them off won't hurt

So much conflict but oh well, least it wasn't grey-atron, only way I will touch that mold is if there is a g2 redeco or the takara version of the eventual blitzwing does something insane considering I still have the old generations voyager.

>>6409785
One anon here had and reported there is paint under them, makes sense.

There would be over spray on the stickers, hasbro paint jobs while strong won't be smart enough to throw stickers on and then try to mask something that's 90% of the time badly applied

>>6409734
I'll agree that classics Prime is a better overall design, but I really do like CW Prime alot.

>>6409800
I think its a design basic. Sleeky designs that are kind of edgy and cool tend to work and read more immediately as villains. Chunky diesel powered bricks look more heroic or salt of the earth kind of.

Basically their reasoning is the same for why heroes in movies often have dogs. It makes them seem more innocent and approachable.

>>6409716
CW Prime/Motormaster is a good voyager and a good truck, but it turns into bar none of the of the worst combiner torsos to grace this franchise.

It makes it look worse. On E. Prime the front fenders kinda blended into the backpack when you looked at it. This deco makes them bright red and stand out, looking more like love-handles than ever.

He looks like what he is, a perfected transmetal. Transformers had a huge variety of designs in the late 90's/early 2000's before geewunners took over. Just because he's sleek and actually has paint doesn't mean he's not a Transformer.

Also Power ranger mecha are nothing like that, fucking ignorant TF fans who call anything Power rangers or gundam or Bionicle when the design aesthetic trails away from blocks and squares.

No, I was asking if they tilted. Since all of the other Windblade figures usually have that as a "thing", and I wasn't sure if this one did it.

Looks like we finally got a good Windblade, and it only took them, what, like 4 or 5 figures counting RiD stuff?

>>6410227
Well, she still has the entire cockpit hanging off her back, but at this point that's just Windblade's 'design' the same way Arcee's backpack is hers.

I'm OK with some of the CW figures. They definitely need upgrade kits, and I mostly prefer 3P combiners, but some of the crazier stuff that the 3Ps are never going to touch like Megatronia is right up my alley. I will say though, I have UW Computron and whilst he looks good he is a bit disappointing. The connections and joints aren't the most stable and I had to get a replacement Nosecone after the drill peg on mine sheared off. And the PE kits, whilst better than HFGs, aren't the best. I should really tighten mine up.

Devastator is an absolute joke though and I will never understand people that defend that thing.

>>6410378
>CHUG go down the shitter
It helped save it if anything.The line was stagnating aftr Thrilling 30, with no definate future, and the line was mostly directionless even before then.

>and started an entire new era of sloppy engineering, hollow pieces,
partly true, I admit.
At the same time, hough, there's been a lot of refined engineering despite budget cuts, and I like a lot of these over more complex figures.

>more repaints than unique figures and some of the ugliest

Inevitable considering the G1 scramble city designers all basically transformed the same. making them share molds to that extent isn't preferablem but I don't blame them. Repaints have always beena necessity in Classics since Universe, we've known this for years,a nd if anything the remolding is far more extensive. And either way, we probably get more unique molds per year now, even with all the repaints.

>and most disproportionate combiners we've ever seen

That's a massive exaggeration considering literally every attempt at making a combiner between RiD and Combiner wars.

>Kind of want Generations Double Dealer because he's got the shark face on his jet form
>TR Blitzwing's alt modes look magnitudes better
I'm torn.

>>6410389
I mean, if you genuinely prefer minimalistic engineering then I guess there's nothing objectively wrong with that, glad you got your cup of tea with CW if that's the case. Most people though, myself included, probably prefer the complexity of figures made from Thrilling 30 and before, hence why seeing Combiner Wars overlapping literally everything else in stores was so disappointing.

And frankly, I still think the combiners themselves weren't worth it, they might be better than the atrocious mess than PCC was but at the very least those were only a small experimental sideline accompanying the "serious" figures of 2010 whereas for CW you literally had terrible Deluxes and Voyagers made for bland and generic combiners being sold up your ass.

>>6410402
>Most people though, myself included, probably prefer the complexity of figures made from Thrilling 30 and before, hence why seeing Combiner Wars overlapping literally everything else in stores was so disappointing

Anybody got pictures of TR Blitzwing from the back of his robot form or bottom of his plane mode?

I'm curious how annoying the tank turret is going to be.

As someone who owns the whole line of combiner wras my only complaints are: menasor's shit chest mode and re-use of him for 3 whole times. Computron's Afterburner not resembling the G1 toy all that well and the strange green windshield that makes it look like a Halloween themed toy. The whole Optimus Maximus wave who's not even a proper G1 reference and just looks out of place. no Seacons or Predacons or even Monstructor. They released the unfinished G2 scheme of menasor but no G2 Defensor and no G2 Devastator either. Too many leader seekers, seriously releasing the 3 that everyone knows and zero coneheads? What were they thinking. Armada Megatron getting released an not some other more worthy tank former.

Other than that I liked Ultra Magnus, Leader Megatron, Defensor, Bruticus, Superion, Computron. and even Victorion was interesting.

Devastator is probably the best well rounded version of the character we've gotten ever. And I've got the Micromaster Devatator from Universe, G2 Devastator, Universe Devastator that used the Build King molds from RID, and Walmart Classics Devastator from the Energon molds.

The legends in Combiner wars were all amazing as well. Other than Wreckgar being a weird choice to finish off the line, everything else was incredibly well done. Blackjack being re-used for Micromaster Hot Rod was an interesting choice and I'm glad we got a proper Hot Rod deluxe in Titan's Return.

This TR Blitzwing is only maybe 30% larger than the Deluxe figures from back then and he's $25 compared to the $10 they used to charge for deluxes. Kind of interesting. I don't collect legos but I've noticed the same thing just walking past, you now get waaaayy less pieces for your money and resulting smaller toys

Nightscream had the same problem.

I grew up with them from 96-2002 or so. The figures you got were a major size boost from the figures I had. When armada came out, the deluxes were noticeably a lot bigger(if simpler) than past figures.

Depends on the character, these 2 are deluxes.

>>6410530

I'll be meeting him next week.

any questions worth asking?

Anyone have any idea what the hole between TR Blitzwing's rear landing gear on his turret is for? Its like a 2mm peg hole so nothing fits in it unless I'm missing something, its also a hexagon

Two things, what is the point of the peg hole on his turret like I asked here >>6410661

And why does his gun have a peg on the end of it? It doesn't seem to plug into anything that way unless you want him to hold his gun upright like his sword.

I wish they'd just kept the same guns as TR Megatron, his guns seemed better than Blitzwing's because they combined into a better looking big gun and could mount into one big turret cannon

>>6410685
If a Turd Patty ever decides to make an upgrade to turn Hot Spot into Motormaster I'll accept CW/UW gave us a good Menasor.
Never saw that long nose cab upgrade for CW Onslaught now that I think of it.

>This TR Blitzwing is only maybe 30% larger than the Deluxe figures from back then and he's $25 compared to the $10 they used to charge for deluxes.
Ultras (the voyager equivalent) were 20 dollars back in 03.
You shouldn't confuse the price you managed to find figures for the price they were released at.
Today, non-movie voyagers are released at 26 bucks, but I rarely see them for higher than 23. Deluxes are released at 16, but they're pretty routinely 14.
Then when you consider that 03-08 was right before the financial crisis, you could see why the value per dollar has changed.

All of that aside, a lot of time the price points are more about shipping weight. TLK figures all came in boxes, which upped their price point because it increased the shipping size.
Not to mention if you look at >>6410650
you can really tell there have been huge improvements in design. More moving parts mean more production time which means more money. Headmaster gimmicks alone mean several more moving parts.

>>6410071
How is that Convobat anyway? I have a soft spot for bat related stuff and he looks pretty damn neato. Especially with that comic.

I was hoping it would have the opposite effect since blisters are unwieldy as fuck but the new boxes are huge. Boxes can be more practical than blisters but they need to redesign them to keep them flashy for the kids but practical so the shipping doesn't become a problem the next time Walmart orders a billion cases of wave one.

>>6410610
I'm not sure TR perceptor can really function the same as brunt, since his tank mode is... wonky at best.
Honestly, I'd say take galvatron and remove the back piece of his canon, put him on his belly with treads facing the same way, and bam, you're looking at beefy brunt

>>6410760
The issue is that, simply put, cardboard weighs more than blister plastic. That, and it uses 95% the same amount of plastic since the main reason for packaging in plastic is to keep product from shifting around and breaking in transport.
And of course the packaging design for a box is more intensive than for a blister pack. All of these things add up. Most likely they knew TLK wouldn't fly off the shelves since AoE didn't, and so they purposefully increased the packaging production budget to try and be more eye catching. Generally, TLK is a much better toyline, but with the movie not doing as well as AoE (and the fact that WW came before it, and Spiderman came after it isn't helping) I doubt it'll prove to have been a smart choice.

You can all but guarantee they'll be going back to blister packs in the future.

robot masters was such a bizarre line, yet i feel design wise it has more in common with titans returns than anything else.

blocky, overly referential, uninspired, cheap

it even used stickers in place of proper paint applications

>>6410772
I wouldn't mind if they could at least make the leftover cards shorter like in those bootleg seeker boxes.

>>6410595
I dunno, weaponizer prime has basically the same problem, in reverse. Instead of a horrible front cab and a boring but effective bed, he's got a bland, effective cab, and a bed that's basically wheels on some sticks.

>>6410776

yes.

it's not that good.

That could have actually been a solid Deluxe-sized G1 prime if it wasn't for the terrible hip design that essentially ruins the entire figure. Robotmasters does seem like a really pointless like nowadays, all non-Beast Wars figures are genuinely atrocious designs, but it was the closest thing to CHUG back in the day, so I guess there's that going for it.

>>6410595
I still really like this figure, actually. The truck rear is undeniably abismal, but the actual robot basically feels like a perfect undersized G1 Prime, to the point where I think it does a better job at portraying him than the Hybrid Style.

>>6410725
I know, right? It's almost as if his legs supposed to be cars or something.

Holy shit, MP04 is now appreciating to over $600 on Ebay? It's literally just a regular MP01 with a giant wheeled box, what the fuck? I got mine for about ~150 MISB back in the day, there's literally no reason for this fucker to be so expensive even if it's still personally my favorite MP Prime design.

On a related note, playing with MP1 is a genuinely great sensation, he actually feels like a giant mechanical robot instead of a bogstandard action figure like MP10. Not that I don't appreciate the more bogstandard "action-figure-ish" modern MPs, but it's still a pity Hasbro didn't keep on going with this same STRONK-tier design philosophy in parallel.

>>6410814

600$ is to be expected, really.

>>6410814

that is pretty crazy. When I went through my teenage "I don't like these anymore" period and sold off all of my transformers, I kept this one. I could use $600, but considering how much I regret selling some figures, I don't think I'd give that one up.

>>6410827
So you only have one Transformer left at present?

>>6410831

negative, that was about seven or eight years ago. I started collecting again recently and even got into the third party scene...

>>6410827
Don't sell it friendo, it's a really good figure that you would inevitably want to repurchase at a later point when he probably appreciates to 4 digits.

>>6410822
Only hate the flatass stomach but otherwise had had really good leg articulation.

>>6410853
I don't have Smokescreen myself. Closest I have is Prowl, and he seems to be fine for me.

>>6410853
ive got the other versions of the mold with no issue most likely bad qc have you checked to see if the tabs lock together?

>>6410838
I don't have any issues like that on my streetwise. Does yours look like it has any molding issues or a mis-aligned pin or something?

>>6410858
My Prowl is fine, just this one
>>6410859
will recheck everything, didn't really spend a lot of time with him 2bh as he came the same day as my Soundwave

>>6410738
So why'd you post a picture of purple Blurr?

>>6410853
Don't have an issue with mine but sometimes Transformers just don't fit together. I gotta assume you're fairly new to collecting them, so yeah, just so you know, it's not uncommon for some Transformers to just not fit.

>>6410410
Best thing about him is the wheelchair mode.

>>6409468
It was probably backstock that they were holding back til the shelfwarmers sold.

>>6410870
I'm well aware of this, just asking because I have other versions of the mold with no issues, and where else am I going to ask about a possible qc error on a literally who transformer that even most collectors aren't really interested in?

After checking, it's a mis-aligned pin. Probably just leave him in robot form or set up Sky Reign if I actually bother getting Trailbreaker at some point

>>6409514
No hands? Look at him! Eight. Fingers. Cobra. Head.

He has the best hands!

>>6410776
Its ok for its size, the Voyager is of course a million times better but thats a fun little Prime.

Since we're talking about CW...

You know the guy that is supposed to attach to Menasor's chest? It just falls the fuck off and has NO tension so hold in place. Is that common? I feel like I had to be doing something wrong

>>6410977
They're all like that. Hasbro even fixed Motormaster's hips and still didn't bother making the chest pegs work.

>>6410977
Pretty common issue, the cone chae of the pegs don't give enough fricction and if you push the car in the legs split to easily, just put tiny pieces of paper on the ports.
