Transformers and TFcon General

Wait. What is that blue Ravage? Is that a Masterpiece?

>>6417319
3rd Party Cobalt. Seems it is a throwback to the E-hobby repaint of G1 Ravage. Was revealed this morning I think on TFW2005.

Both exclusives were shown at the last TFcon in Chicago with no set place they would be released. I guess we know now.

>>6416865
Now I feel like I need to replicate this.

>>6417334
Is that also an exclusive? I feel like reveals are appearing out of the sky

For any one who the Megatron stickers from repollabel

Is the stickers on the wings reel like the original when transformed?

>>6417431
What is with Reprolabels recently? I remember they used to be pretty smart, making stickers mostly intended to rest in recessed or protected parts of the mold and using them pretty effectively. The TR stuff just looks like a mess comparable to Broadside's out of box configuration.

I'm glad my friend was kind enough to give me the Thunderwing head from the BBTS box set... I would have been pretty mad if I had bought the box imagining this as a crown jewel. They decided the head/neck joint should be die-cast too which means it had to be painted. Which means 1. The added paint makes it slightly too thick to fit into TR neck ports properly. Doesn't 'click' into place like it should. and 2. It could chip... which seems pretty likely since it's going to be under constant pressure, even more so because of the slightly larger size.
You figure they would know that part would have to be bare plastic.

>>6417444
but muh heft tho

>>6417454
You took the words right out of my mouth...

>>6417454
Then make the shins diecast. That would add more weight and wouldn't fuck with the main gimmick in plugging into other bots.

So I just bought my first transformer in over a decade which is the titans return Megatron. What's considered the best starscream out that isn't a masterpiece or something crazy expensive?

Classics / Henkei / Universe Starscream can be a pretty solid companion to TR Megatron, you might even want to purchase his many companion seeker clones later down the road if that's what you're into. >>6417503 is also good, although it carries that unfortunate unpleasant cheapness of every single RiD toy.

So I started modding a Cyclonus into a Megatron corebot for fun, but I realized Onslaught might be a better choice. Opinions on which would look better decked out as Megatron?

>>6417503
My girlfriend bought me this for my birthday because she insisted I needed a bastard for my collection.

I'm not a big fan of his design, but he is fun to transform and pose.

>>6417532
Onslaught, considering megaempress used the hotspot mold as a base

>>6417524
That pic isn't even mine you colossal faggot, I just wanted to illustrate the variety of repaints that mold has.

>>6417532
Onslaught since it's the least shitty mold of the two.

Yeah, I kind of realized she's basically what I wanted out of a Meg's core combiner. I'm still baffled that they didn't make him one of the corebots.

I figured a fun paintjob could make Cyclonus/Megs look good.

So, when the fuck are we going to see PotP figures?

That reminds me, though, I'd really like to see an Omega Supreme remold out of Skyshadow/Overlord. That mold works so well for him that I could see people memeing him into a boxset like what happened with Nautica and Tidal Wave

Yeah, thats part of the problem. Such gigantic things are really hard to have fun with. They're basically statues at that point. Their sheet weight, balance, etc, prevents them from doing much.

>>6417678
I'm mostly concerned with the weight. Generations titans are huge but they're generations toys and weight like 5 pounds. Something that large with an MP build quality will buckle a shelf

I love the gimmick for deluxes and below, but it honestly seems a bit scary on voyagers. Tamashii stands aren't exactly super stable under excessive weight, and those pegs are already looking for an excuse to snap off.

Come to think of it, I haven't heard much from the likes of Takasa Tony lately. Last KO, I remember from them is Tracks. The Fuso mold would be good for a KO. Relatively chunky and simple in comparison to the more recent, fiddly MP molds.

>>6417885
No, but there is a dedicated thread for it, so it seems silly to mis-identify the standard TF thread so badly.

You'd be wise to think that, I put my mp tracks' one on AOE voyager optimus and the peg snapped off completely, it's currently still stuck in his ass hole and I can't get it out.

>>6417748
He wouldn't weigh 20 pounds at that size. Assuming approximately the same weight as Omega, times eight, he would weigh as much as a kid.

>>6417884
I wish someone would make KOs of the stands. I got a stand with MP Tracks and the peg promptly snapped off inside him. I got the peg out by inserting a hot paperclip in his ass and letting it cool to pull out the peg, but I can't glue it back on to the stand, so it's useless.

>>6418009
Can't you use plastic meld to put back on?

>>6418009
How in the fuck did you manage that? I have put a ton of stress on my stand's peg. I plug figures into it and force it around while they're attached, and I don't even see any stress marks.

I'm starting to believe that 90% of people complaining about poor quality is them just covering up their own ham-handedness.

He looks great. Not sure why people are getting sick of him being mentioned. I feel like probably because he wasn't in the Sunbow cartoon, so people don't care about him.

>Did someone ever fuck up your transformers?

All the toys of my 80's childhood got shoved into the one place that is death for all toys: The attic.

Protip: Extreme fucking heat and cold is very bad for plastic. They never had a chance. I could've probably sold all that shit nowadays and have a few thousand bucks, but nope. All those 'bots, GI Joes, Thundercats, He-Man figures, all of it. Bigass playsets. Giant vehicles. TMNT stuff. The works

All utterly destroyed because assholes had to shove it into a fucking attic. We had a basement for shits sake, something might've survived damp and cold. But it wasn't surviving summer heat and winter's cold in an attic.

How do they do it, has/bro/s? Will Takara remain our /takara/mono?

TL. note: takaramono means treasure.

>>6418359
So far the only Bruticus I personally have is the RotF version + FP Colossus parts, and I generally do like him. Never really picked up CW pieces beyond Hot Spot out of nostalgia, but never looked beyond him since I never had Defensor. Currently the only new Bruticus I'd be looking towards would be Iron Factory's War Giant (and hope he gets to be shown off at TFCon) -- this is largely for the fact of having missed out on the primary release of CW/UW's version.

I guess that one is alright but I always want both the combiner and the team to look good.
The entire team of that one looks like hot garbage but the combined mode is pretty solid.

What are the chances of Metroplex getting a reissue with his buddy Trypticon out now? I was a poor fag when he came out and now he's just too expensive on aftermarket for what it is.

Still pretty low. People have been asking for one and not getting it for so long that I'm starting to wonder if they lost molds or something.

>>6418493
It wasn't a break-in to my home, it was the storage basement.
You must have suffered a horrible one though, and I do feel sorry for you and anyone who would experience that.

Anyone have both of the voyager Hounds? The new one looks like he can store all the old weapons on him but I'm not entirely sure.

>>6418513
Don't have him yet, but many pictures have cropped up that confirm he can due to peg holes scattered through out his body.

>>6418513

Theres a reason why breakin's usually target electronics, jewelry, cash, etc. Because no fuckin' street hood is gonna know the value of your taiwanese transmogrifying androids, or give enough of a shit about them other than maybe knocking them out of the way to grab at your ipad sitting on the shelf.

Is Arttfire painted plastic, or did they do the smart thing and just cast it in the correct fucking colors? Because the whole "douse every MP in paint" thing has really been pissing me off because I am the sort of collector who wants my things to be in it for the long haul, and both Grapple and Inferno being doused in paint pisses me off to no end.

>>6418569
K. Can't get him any more vertical than this, or the arm tips completely over.

>>6418568
Artfire is all paint, basically, but it's really durable, and his clearances during transformation are good. Nobody has complained about scratching yet. I've transformed mine a ton, the only scratching I have is a little on the bottom of the feet from sliding him around my desk while posed, so, try not to do that I guess. It's not noticeable in either mode, though.

Besides, paint is part of why Artie looks so good. He's positively lustrous.

>>6418568
He's gobbed in just as much paint as the other two, but the mold doesn't really have any paint rub issues anywhere so it's not really bad.

It helps that it's a really glossy paint. It's way more resilient than the near-matte finishes they've been doing lately.

Nah, because I own tons of toys that are well painted, but primarily bare plastic. And they look great. I don't mind paint. I do mind when paint is the entire surface, especially of friction-laden areas like joints.

>>6418601
All the paint they saved on TR has to go somewhere.

>>6418604

It went to Brainstorm though. That guy is doused in paint from head to toe. Literally.

>>6418594
There's not enough friction on the peg to hold him horizontal. Artfire is pretty heavy.

>>6418601
Stay triggered I guess. Paint never seemed to be an issue with people before, only since MP Megatron. I've got older MP cars "gobbed with paint" that I've been playing with and transforming for 5+ years and they are fine. Your loss.

>>6418601
>I don't want my toys looking like shit 5 years down the line because I like posing them and messing with them.

I'm not sure how well it shows up in pictures though.

Yeah, he just spins. Could try it on my purple stand that came with loudpedal, gotta dig it out of his box, though. I recall that one being a more snug fit

>>6418625
Hm, that's interesting that it's somewhat a loose connection for you, for me it's a rather solid connection for most figures. I guess with the varying strength of the plastic and thickness of the pegs, it's kind of random how much the stand can put up with.

>>6418630
Well, it's tight enough on Tracks and the other smaller MPs, just not tight enough to hold Artfire horizontally and off-center.

Paint used to be done REALLY well... a decade ago.

The Alternators were full of painted clear plastic. The windows didn't use a separate piece of plastic from the body, so if you see clear bits on a piece at all, the whole piece is clear plastic. And you just know how obvious it would be when paint rubs off to show the clear plastic underneath. And yet, after a decade's worth of playing, they still hold up great.

Paint is done really well now. Artfire, Ironhide, Tracks, pretty much every MP car really, along with every recent Takara Legends figure I've bought all have extensive and durable paint jobs, and they all look way better for it.

Ever since MP megatron happened, which was such a high profile release that even some of the most casual fans went after it, and its absolute clusterfuck transformation did its paint job no favors. Now suddenly paint is the devil. Even just a year ago, people didn't bitch so hard about paint.

The paint on Artfire is very similar, especially the red. I find Smokescreen also to be quite excellent. In terms of durability, the paint on TR Brainstorm is amazing. People bitch about him being dipped in paint, but it makes him look awesome, and I've seen nary a scratch on either version, and I've not been gentle with them.

He has plenty of 5mm holes on his back and shoulders. The outer sides of his legs have like three 3mm holes each (used by old hound's weapons). The sides of his two larger cannons have slots for his old weapons' rectangular tabs.

Why are official city bots so underwhelming?

No idea what you are expecting, the 3P options are way smaller and have TR Fort level "city modes", well most of them, Utopia has a decent transformation.

My only issue with Trypticon was the lack of turrets on city mode, but it got solved using the seat-guns included with the deluxes.

Because they have to go through a shit ton of safety tests and shit to make sure they pass them.

So they get super-duper nerfed, especially after Hasbro got BTF when Fort Max failed the safety test when they tried to re-issue him in Car Robots colors as part of the RiD line.

A quick search says that G1 Fort Max shattered like glass during drop tests.

Apparently a lot of old citybots/titans had trouble passing drop tests as well because their size and weight almost guaranteed they'd break catastrophically if they fell from 6 feet.

all of these figures are flawed and it's really down to personal preference like >>6419449
said. also another option is pic related, a redeco of purple.

purple:
>most points of articulation (has wrist and waist swivels)
>quite flimsy in both modes
>difficulty standing because the stiletto heels don't lock securely in place
>more poseable due to the extra joints
>nicest weapon, a clear plastic sword with scabbard.

green
>more cartoonish sculpt/deco
>stable in both modes
>lacks articulation compared to purple (no waist and wrists)
>sword blade is solid black plastic and doesn't stow well in vehicle mode

yellow
>stability of green but a less cartoonish design
>lacks articulation compared to purple (no waist and wrists)
>giant backpack in bot mode
>no sword/scabbard weapon

honestly i would just look at some galleries and videos and buy the figure that looks best to you. whichever one you choose you're getting a pretty good but flawed figure.

>>6419471
I kinda recommend the RID faceplate version because you can see how nice and dark the red plastic is compared to the other version.s

The black series captain phasma was pretty cool, though.

Takara is re-releasing many of its Legends line as Takara Mall exclusives. I think this is something that Hasbro should watch.

If they can, they can do the same thing. Re-release popular molds as online store exclusives. They have direct contact with BBTS and others. Unlike Walmart where regional stores might have different demands, there's only one BBTS. There's only one Amazon. They can sell individual figures as they need them, if the online retailers order a sufficient quantity.

A perennial seller like mp10 is constantly being remade every few years, why not Metroplex? Or Devastator? Or Cosmos? They have almost every G1 mold from the 2000 reissue lines in the US and Japan. They can sell those online. That's just low hanging fruit.

Waves of temporary toy releases is a Walmart thing. Individual Transformers used to be sold for an entire year or two before the molds were retired. With the modern online world, they can try something similar on a smaller scale.

It might help their bottom line enough that they can finally afford to move from those Vietnamese factories that keep messing up the final products.

I'm not shitting on it at all. It's a great attempt with what they can actually do with a transforming piece. I was really impressed with it. I'ts just obvious that the physics defying bayformers have a perfect excuse to be action figures given how they are in universe bending metal/nanomachines and whatnot.

Even if you gave Takara unlimited budget they still could not make a transforming knight prime that looks as good as an action figure given how impossible and busy they are.

How big of a bayformer fanboy do you have to be to buy expensive statueshit of a model reuse character who had like 2 seconds of screentime?

>>6419681
<greentexting

>>6419685
Or maybe you just think the character looks cool? I'm not justifying statueshit, but I certainly don't need a character to have been prominently featured in a cartoon or movie in order for me to want it. Most of my favorite Transformers were in shit I never saw, or weren't even in anything at all.

>>6419387
I'd pick him over optibotimus and emgo .
The guy at least is not obsessed with his ego like optibotimus.

>>6419685
Time to find out.

>>6419410
It's a fucking toy review.

>>6419741
You got a point. There's nothing wrong with his personality, just the presentation.

>>6419407
But he always buys the hasbro versions and reviews them. I can't remember a time when he's ever shown to be a Takara cuck

>>6419755
He could at least get a good setup and edit his videos. Japanime is a better reviewer, and he reviews transformers on the side and is always late; all he has is a good setup.
Chefatron is always early but his videos don't really have any staying power after anyone else reviews the same toy.

>>6419692
Sane people don't spend $300+ just because something "looks cool" when the character itself is one of the most irrelevant guys in the movie.

>>6419785
His presentation, while unprepared, is more honest than emgo and optibotimus who are more concerned with their "celebrity" status. Those two love to hear their voices.

But say it was a fucking amazing articulated transformable toy of the same dude. If I liked it, I'd buy it. Fuck the mythology. Some people on this board actually just enjoy playing with cool toys.

But it's not. And even then $300 would be a retarded amount to spend on a nothing character.

Starscream is one of the most significant characters in the first three movies. He isn't a nobody who shows up for a few seconds and then dies.

>Why shit on people with different tastes?
Because movie fanboys are stupid.

>>6419854
Oh it's the anon with 3A Starscream
You always bring it up for no reason and always defend it when no one is particularly talking about 3A

>>6419874
It's relevant because he's an expensive toy of a nothing character from a shit franchise (that I still enjoy). I'm defending mindlessly shitting on people with different tastes.

p.s I'm not even the shitposter who spammed the thread with him for weeks. Someone just caught on to how bad it triggered the thread and capitalized on it. I rarely even come in the official thread.

>>6419805
>He could at least get a good setup and edit his videos
I don't even think that's needed, as long as he speaks more clearly and remembers the transformations.

Does he still do those character backgrounds? That's the part that pissed me off the most.
>"I don't remember, but I think this was.. uuuh"
>"Oh that's right, it's (gets it wrong)"
I mean don't include a character background if you're not sure about it.

>his videos don't really have any staying power after anyone else reviews the same toy
This.

No, poor plebs don't spend $300 on things they think "looks cool" because you are poor. Don't confuse that with sane. If you were sane, you'd have a better job that paid more instead of trying to bash people who want to spend -their- money on the things they want to.

>>6419822
as much as I liked Starscream in the Unicron shows, I really hated that toy design.

>>6419906
It's very...gundam. Flashy colors, big shoulder things, obnoxious colors, etc.

>>6419897

I feel like they should have black hair considering he married his clone.

I can see that, but it's just, I don't know, I like chunky bots in general but the Cybertron design was just too chunky for me. This guy is rather nicely thinned in places, but it's those wings that just make him so goddamn huge.

Also I really dislike those colors, It's kind of like they wanted to make the bastard child of Starscream and Nacelle

As MP/Turd party figures go through different continuities and designs it's gonna be apparent that some things just don't translate well to 3D.

A lot of people are coming to the realization that trying to capture the perfect g1 imagery has mixed results. A perfect recreation of poor source material will result in a poor product. I, for example, think both of these not Omega Supremes do a pretty good job of capturing the likeness of the character, but plenty of people are like "whoah as it turns out a giant grey and yellow rectangle man looks like shit".

So extrapolate that to the more cuhrazzy and gaudy universe/cybertron/armada designs and you end up with very anime or chunky ass figures looking gaudy as hell even if they're accurate.

>>6419933
I know, but then you have crazy shit like the Hearts of Steel stuff which I think looks fucking amazing as a toy, and is actually the only "Normal" colored Starscream that I even own, everything else is the T30 Armada delux, or the prime one.

It was originally supposed to be a g1 tetrajet, failed to invoke the right likeness and it just stuck as a different design altogether.

>>6419902
I'm not poor. I buy expensive toys all the time. I just don't spend it on shitty movie characters.

>>6420005
The two are related. A character's toy has more value if the character itself is actually good. Only underagefags want to buy expensive toys just because
"OMG HE LOOKS LE COOL XD"

>>6420101
Yeah I know where they peg, it just takes too much fiddling to get it there 75% of the time. They don't like to click in.

Other than that I actually reeeally like the figure. Even if I don't care for his headsculpt (It's accurate! Just kinda boring.), but hey, that's why I bought an Apeface.

>>6419692
He's basically just a generic though. His character model is just Long Haul's with a few extras added. Add that to how he has 30 seconds screen time and dies like a bitch....

>>6420127
>They don't like to click in.
Are you sure you are using the middle port? mine even gets stuck.

>>6419399

He's always sucked. I used to watch him from time to time because he would sometimes get toys earlier than in the states. I stopped watching his old channel when he bitched on camera about his maid for throwing away his packaging before he reviewed it. He's so boring. "Dis is da figure rebiew of the transpormers"

I just tried watching a video of his again and it's pretty much the same as when I watched him before. Nothing's improved.

>>6420135
Yeah, I am. It just isn't really designed well to line up. Nothing to argue about, the rest of the toy is way better than I'd expect of a current Deluxe. First Transformer I've bought since Prime Abominus. Got the Titans Return Voyager Optimus too, and he's just as fun. Seems I missed a lot with this line.

>>6419399

I watch his stuff sometimes. Generally, I watch whoever gets a figure first, and then other reviewers if I feel the figure wasn't reviewed well enough or they didn't show enough articulation or what have you.

Chefatron sounds incredibly bored and disinterested. Like, maybe that is just how he sounds in real life? I dunno. But he totally sounds like he's doing his taxes or some shit, rather than trying to review a toy.

>>6420140

Yeah, you should snap some of the other Deluxes up. They're generally really good in TR, though some are hampered by line-wide QC issues (Weirdwolf's hinges breaking, Skullcruncher's loose hips that can be fixed with futureshine, etc).

>>6420146
I really want Skullcruncher, can get him cheaply online. My stores all just have the same guys, Hotrod, Megatron, Optimus, and a couple other Deluxes I'm not keen on other than Twinferno/Doubledealer which I own.

Would like the Krox repaint more for the zany colours but it's more expensive so I'll wait until B&M gets some in stock. Since it did the Combiner Wars stuff... Which I bought none of because the solo modes look so bad most the time.
