I'm hoping that they're there with him. I've looked at these grey proto shots for too long.

Also Bridge Watcher needs to hurry up and get in stock.

Agreed, I cannot wait for thia guy!

>>6420764
So far from the 2 Chinese reviews I watched, the only thing I don't really like about him is how is gun arm doesn't tuck away cleanly in alt mode.

Still think he looks great, though.

>>6420734
Both of these look way better than the retail versions.

>>6420801
Whats different about the one on the left?

>>6420734
to those of you who own rmx jaguar, is it worth $60+? seems like an awful lot for what it is.

>>6420801
how so?

>>6420821

It is an awful lot for what you get. I don't regret my purchase, but Ravage may just be my favorite character. I just wish he tabbed together slightly more solidly.

Hamhands McGee has a review for Not-Grotusque, if you can stomach him.

>>6420845
Oh sorry I misunderstood.

>>6420851

Yes. Especially if you don't have a different version.

If I had the extra $$$ I would do it. I have the original G2 Grimlock I could put him next to.

But I wanted all my Dinobots to match, so I bought the regular one.

>>6420830
I really do like their look, but from what I've seen they're got some fiddly transformations, and a whole heap of not very good looking parts in both dino and robot mode.

You'd really only want to bother getting them if you cannot pass up a fembot. And even then it should take some convincing to get you to buy one.

>>6420852
I plunked in the cash for the three of them direct from Fans Hobby. Megatooth and Fei Long are on their way, and Flypro will ship when he's ready.

>>6420873

My Feilong is sitting in a loot pile right now, waiting on some TR Deluxes to come in, but I'll be nabbing Flypro myself just to complete the set and for the extras they're packing with him.

Imagine how rad it will look next to this guy and I think you know the answer.

>>6420830
>deluxe sized
They're more like Voyagers with the rest of the team.

Also, they just aren't very good. Transformation is really lazy and leaves a lot of kibble in ways that don't even add any visual interest to the figure like some kibble can. The one exception to that is the dino hands acting as shoulder armor but in order to do that, you have to partsform them off of the wrists where they originally came from so it's kind of moot.

Honestly, I blame them for why the line fell to shit like it did. Seems they diverted resources and planning from the Swoop, Grimlock, and Snarl to shit them out in the middle and the other three suffered for it. Worse yet is because of how much they flopped and how quiet FP has been lately, there's half a chance that these ladies may have killed the whole line before Snarl could come out to round off the essential members. They're just bad toys and I'm kind of mad that they exist. The line started off so strong too with Sludge and Slag....

>>6420893
That looks sweet. Is it any good? Never bought from fans hobby

>>6420903
He's awesome. Fans Hobby makes a good product. I don't recall ever seeing any complaints about their stuff other than transformations being a little simple.

>>6420909
Love me a simple transformation, as long as it looks good, so that's definitely not an issue. Thanks!

Cheaper for them and they get a bunch more milage out of designs. I wouldn't mind if they fit fairly well or done well enough, but not at the cost of compromising the original figure its supposed to be. They've done it terribly and done it well. Bulkhead was a good choice for the Roadbuster mold but you can see the execution is shitty compared to Titanika. Thunderclash from Tarn looks rad as fuck but now I have to wonder if it compromised Tarn a little bit given how inaccurate and underwhelming his alt mode is.

You're trying too hard to defend mediocre shoulder articulation, anon. Now go for 45 degrees outwards, I won't be waiting though.

>>6421654
That's not what you said. You (essentially) said the arms can't move forward. The arms can move forward, and so do your goal posts.

>>6421369
Don't get me wrong, the retool makes perfect sense and all, but I'm still kinda disappointed to see it be a retool and not its own mold. Bulkhead was up there on my list of characters I wanted to see a 3rd party try a neo-G1 attempt at just because of the interesting things they could have done with him. This works but feels a little bland after seeing that mold twice already. Not to mention the gun is kinda disappointing. Would have been nice to see them incorporate a bigger boomstick for him instead of a skinny rifle with a tripod.

>>6421659
You knew exactly what I was talking about when bringing up faults with the figure. Last one anon, swearsies, get Strika pointing like Optimus. Up, out, and straight!

>>6421664
>Most Transformers don't even have 45 degree outward movement

What shitty figures have you been buying? Can't name a single quality 3P figure in recent memory that can't manage that.

>>6421382
For that mold, it actually has pretty good shoulder articulation, the problem is that the shoulders will basically ram right up tot he backpack. The figure does a heck of a lot to help you get your poses, the mold can easily hit almost any pose you want, but you end up feeling like you really had to work for it, which of course hinders the fun factor.

This kind of shoulder articulation is more than sufficient, especially for a bulky character. Cry moar.

Thanks for proving my point, anon. Some of us really value posability and this, coupled with the fuckery to get the hip rotation working, hampers that.

Thanks, anon.

>>6421670

He's a faggot for moving goalposts, but you're a faggot for "muh acceptable articulation for fatties". No, the only acceptable articulation is an even match for every other 'bot. It's entirely possible to engineer figures so they have a full range of articulation no matter the body type. That kind of failure should be a mark against the figure.

Shit like "Oh uh it's acceptable because it's a fat fuck" is why a lot of reviewers suck ass and aren't critical at all, they just gobble up whatever falls in front of them as long as it doesn't fall apart. Consumers need to learn to always demand more and better, because if they don't, they'll end up eating garbage.

>>6421685
The same pose was achieved here >>6421639, so I doubt anything was removed and he made no mention of that in his post.

>>6421689
I never said the articulation was perfect, or that it had a wide range of it. I simply proved him wrong at every complaint he had. Is it limited? Restricted? Sure. But it's not a massive deal. Basic articulation can be achieved, plus a bit more. For a bulky robot, that's good enough.

And reviewers suck ass because they're shills. Only a moron would care about what a video review has to say.

>>6421639
Hey, someone saved my pic.

I agree, you can get more range out of the shoulders than people give it credit for, but that doesn't change the fact that its still a pain in the ass. The clearances are super tight and the shoulder armor will constantly make the back pack come unplugged.

I havnt touched mine since I took those pictures because its such a point to pose, and I passed on roadbuster for the same reason. Besides the fans hobby version looks like it scales better with voyager figures anyways.

>>6421688
>it doesn't count because it's not the way I want it!

>For a bulky robot, that's good enough.

No such thing as "good enough". Ask for more. Strive for better. C'mon Anon, the only way shit will ever be better is by demanding more.

>>6421698
>Besides the fans hobby version

Yeah, I'm waiting for FATBUSTAH myself. I like the looks of the MMC, but the shoulder clearance thing is a definite turnoff. Shame MMC has been so hit and miss lately. I LOVE most of their stuff. The vast majority of my 3P stuff is MMC. Their Predaking is fantastic, etc.

Just ever singe Jaegerwhatever, their line has been REALLY hit and miss. They need to re-evaluate themselves.

>>6421707
Not that anon, but I can't really tell if the shoulder was removed from that picture or not.

I do know that she can point forward, though. She has a lot of issues with the shoulders, but they did engineer it to let you move them around. It's just a huge fucking hassle.

>>6421698
>I havnt touched mine since I took those pictures because its such a point to pose
Yo, this so much, even one shitty joint can fuck up an otherwise great figure. MMC's spartan is fun as hell, but the shoulders on the black repaint are incredibly limited. It's a blast to pose spartan around, while commotus is just kind of frustrating so I rarely pull him off the shelf.

I had the same issue, but then I realized that you just have to make sure the cut joints in the shoulder armor are lined up properly before rotating. Still kind of a pain, but no where near the level of Titanika.

>>6421635
I just pulled mine off the shelf for the first time in line 9 months and while it can get kinda close to this pose, its pretty obvious that it was removed for this photo. >>6421635

If he had the shoulder armor on, you would be able to see it for sure, I mean come on, its not like its inconspicuous.

Thunderclash is literally Roller with canons. Huh. I never noticed either. Well, now we can probably see exactly what's happening here. Tarn as the primary mold, Thunder as the remold, and Roller as some con exclusive.

>>6421374
I wasn't big on Tarn due to his cannon-arm blocking half the shit he tried to pull off. Hopefully they fix it with this fella 'cause he looks pretty sick. Not big on the Disney-sized feet but whatever.

I honestly thought this version of the mold would be boring as fuck since the black Scourge repaint was what everyone was hyping, but I'm vastly preferring this deco at a level I didn't think possible. I guess that's what some paint and good color contrast on the accents will do to a figure. I'm still trying to swing him in my budget.

No fucking way this thing turns into that torso, legs and arms without some extra parts forming. If you want G1, I guess this is your thing though. But can Xtransbots deliver a solid combiner given that they can barely get a solid scout class toy to not shatter horribly?

>>6421967
Fuck, these are gonna be MP scale, aren't they?

Like, part of me doesn't care because they're different enough that they'll get their own display section anyway but part of me just prefers smaller bots for shelf space, price, and there's just something inherently more charming about toy sized toys instead of having to have a bunch of 10-12" behemoths.

I gotta say this TFcon has been pretty disappointing so far. No surprises at all.

Kinda disappointing panel.

Nothing really said 'wow' to me.

>>6422170

Never Googled G2 Devy before? Honestly, he's one of the few G2's that I think looks better than the G1, if only because I've NEVER seen green construction vehicles IRL, only yellow. Fits the whole "robots in disguise" thing a lot better.

I'm actually torn about which to get now though. I've been mulling over these for a while. If this is a G2 box set at a reduced price, I'll probably hop on it.

Really was par the course. Everyone dumped their Stunticons. I expected a lot more from MMC's DJD, tho the sparkeater is nice. Maketoys not even bothering with the panel was disappointing. Fansproject and Mech Ideas being radio silent is slightly distressing.

The biggest surprise is GT's T-formers Animal line and its fucking great.

Most of the choices in that book are cool, but then there's ones that seem like deliberate jokes like hippo Magnus.

How is Fans Toys about reissues? I have to track down Sovereign now that they've finally shown their Cyclonus.

Everyone is thinking FP is dead in the water, and who knows, they might finally be.

Actually wait. I forgot.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are likely going to be my dive into Iron Factory.

What's a good release of theirs to get a taste of the little line?

>>6422206
Any of the phase sixers. Overlord, Black Shadow, or Sixshot are all great. Scorponok/Black Zarak is also really good.

Just gonna post my most wanted beastbots

Transformers x Zoids is good.

I really hope GT only does the ones that could logically transform without much mass shifting.

>>6422064
I've only been following 3P stuff for about 5 or 6 years, but MP seems to have always been their targeted market. Like, the whole reason 3P took off was because they were making MP scale toys of characters it would take forever for Takara to get to, or that they probably wouldn't do at all.

If you want stuff that's fun to fiddle with, why not just buy retail stuff from Hasbro/Takara. Titans Return has been pretty damn fun. And it seems like there are more than a handful of neat legends-scale 3P bots.

>>6422206
IF's seekers are pretty great. The jet mode isn't perfect but it's one of the better IF alt modes.

and pic related. Beast formers are so under appreciated, and I these designs are great, original, and won't be at risk of Hasbro/Takara replacement

>>6422244
false. 3rd party took off because of FP City Commander, and it was shit.

>>6422232
No man, Devastator Classics scale. That was THE scale, it only became MP focused after the new scale hit and Takara started doing characters like Sideswipe that it clicked that MP was THE scale

>>6422248
I normally hate the way TF mechanical beast forms look, because they're stuck in that 80's blocky style most of the time, but these designs always looked super nice. I want mecha beasts that are sleek and dynamic, not blocks with legs.

>>6422249
City Commander was one of the first, but the Devys were the big thing

No lie, what could save a company like Fansproject is something original. I'd be interested for sure.

>>6422276
Steelcore is one of their best regarded figures. If they fostered their own brand of figures from the begining instead of going the TF ip route, they could have their own sustainable market in China.
I would have loved a line of original hot-blooded YUUSHA anime styled robots.

It was for a variety of reasons. It began with Fansproject's upgrades for Alternators Prime and Classics Cliffjumper. Back in 200-09, no one believed they could get away with full figure releases, but could at least make upgrades to existing ones. TFClube released a Battle Rollar, which was clearly deriivative of a Transformers toy, but was still unique enough to be its own thing. It was the original release of these guys that rocked the 3p world. They were the first instance of fans pushing their legal luck with toy that were clearly Hasbro IP designed in copyright hell, aka China.

When these guys were a smash hit, then >>6422244 happened in a very distinct style. When people saw there was a market for huge figures that cost almost 100 smackers to fill holes in collections, tons of people popped up. Still, no one thought they could make Transformers figures without tons of stylization. Then Mastermind Creations made their toys based on Hearts of steel, which were very faithful recreations of designs that never got toys.Many upgrades and stylized figures would be released regularly, like the PE cassettebots, Fansproject Springer, and a bunch more would follow.

I'm not of the history from there. I think the first unironic MP-alike figure that aimed for that scale and aesthetic was Quakewave, but the market was full of iGears, Mech ideas, Microblazes, and tons of others that clogged the market beyond recognition. Really, I think the desire to fill the MP market is kinda gutting the market. The Dinobot Wars meant there were lots of options, but we know they'll have official replacements, and we also know how fickle collectors can be. I think we need to go back to the stylish designs of before, relying less on Hasbro ip and more on unique designs. I'd love to see original transforming robot figures that are just themselves like >>6422285 said.

TL;DR, it started with Fansproject upgrades, their Springer and Combaticons pushed the limits, TFC v Maketoys began combiners, and the rest is history.

>>6422301
Man, I remember the box art for that Roller was fucking sex, but the actual figure looks like ass.

More like, first instance of anyone with money stepping up to the plate. IP law doesn't exist in China in any way, shape, or form that is enforceable in the slightest. All this took was someone with a bunch of money to pay for shit to be made.

I can make MP-sized IDW Cyclonus with it. Lulz.

I love that the IDW headsculpt is basically perfect. And I like the G1 one as well.

Blades has a nice "classic flair to him but the arm kibble is a little gross. Streetwise actually looks pretty nice. Still, there's one thing both of these figures have a problem with and that's HOLY FUCK LOOK AT THOSE HUGE HANDS.

>>6422005
Combined mode does look pretty nice though. Hopefully they can find a way to extend the arms a bit more or pull a similar trick to Gravity Builder's arms because that pick alone looks like there isn't much for elbow articulation. Grrove also looks a little weird. Guess we'll just have to see when they have some color shots of the whole team and size comparisons before I consider replacing my MT Gaurdia on my CHUG shelf.

>>6422075
>$40 a pop
I mean that's still almost worth it just for some cheap thrills and a dumb fun goofy big robot. As long as it's not fragile as fuck and holds together reasonably well in combined mode, that's kind of tempting for something to decorate my cube at work with.
