Except it's not. The transformations in CW were absolute trash, and articulation was below-par across the board. Meanwhile, TR has given us clever and impressive stuff like Triggerhappy, Topspin, Kup and Twinferno. All of which are completely unique to each other.

For some reason, you're just more triggered by removable heads than you are by generally bad figures, which is sad, and says a lot about the general levels of ignorance in the fandom.

Is Toys R Us gonna stock MP10 Optimus online at midnight EST or PST or later?

Nothing can save that Blurr.

>>6429692
>Except it's not. The transformations in CW were absolute trash
Nope. They were as simple as they needed to be. Especially since CW actually did a way better job about making the combiner line about combiners unlike TR just forcing in random shit from John Warden's wet dream. The voyagers and leaders still had good, unique transformations and also unlike TR they didn't shove the gimmick into the leader class toys when they didn't need it just to make the toy worse.

>than you are by generally bad figures
The forced partsforming heads make them bad and 9 times out of 10 it doesn't actually add anything meaningful to the toy.

>>6429700
Eh. That actually kind of makes his plastic look worse. I'm never a fan of that metallic flake shit they add to plastic sometimes. Just ends up looking cheap and swirly.

>>6429691
So many people voting for Dai Atlas in that poll and Sky Garry not even cracking the Top 10.

>>6429700
That's a cool Blurr prototype anon! Where did you find it? It must have been an expensive find!

>>6429705
>Nope. They were as simple as they needed to be.
But... that's bad. Fucking listen to yourself. An entire size class was compromised in order to be able to form an arm or a leg. Voyagers were still a mixed bag. Silverbolt was okay, but Motormaster was complete trash, ESPECIALLY as a torso. And 9 times out of 10 most of the combiners needed third party add ons to look halfway decent.

And the leader class toys of CW were some of the fucking worst of all time. Incredibly simplified to Legends-class levels of simplicity. In fact, the CW Seeker legends mold pretty much outclassed the CW seeker leader mold in every way.

>the forced partsforming heads make them bad 9 times out of 10
But.. why though? Headmasters are a thing. If you hate the whole idea of Headmasters, then that's one thing. It doesn't mean the toyline is shit just because you don't like it. It doesn't monopolize the figure in any way like combining did. It actually added play value because now individual figures had cockpits and pilots for vehicle mode.

Why are headmasters bad? Just because you're triggered that characters that aren't canonically headmasters now are?

>>6429719
Motormaster was a fine robot and vehicle, it was only his torso mode that was complete trash.

>>6429724
>and vehicle
Don't fool yourself. As long as Motormaster is an Optimus repaint, his truck mode will continue to be horrible.

>>6429719
>Combiner Wars was trash because everyone was combiners
>Titans Return is fine though even though everyone is Headmasters, to an even further extent than CW took the "everyone" part
Combiners are a thing. If you hate the whole idea of Combiners, that's one thing. It doesn't mean the toyline is shit just because you don't like it. It actually added play value because now individual figures can combine for a great whole.

I like both CW and TR, but your arguments are pure opinion and complete trash.

>>6429708
It was for Autobot leaders only.

>>6429730
Except having to combine made every deluxe class figure forgettable garbage. How does having a removable head affect TR deluxes? It actually facilitated some pretty great molds, and none of them were really negatively impacted by having a mandatory cockpit.

>>6429691
Fire Convoy still holds up really well in terms of being a figure, he barely needs a full masterpiece treatment outside of a few things. The armor could clip on better, and maybe some improved hands in armored mode.

>>6429557
9/11 would smash twice and never forget

>>6429730
The entire deluxe class was oversimplified just for the sake of transforming either as a an arm or a leg, making almost every deluxe class a repaint and/or remold of previous characters, making them forgettable in design

What are QC shit to look out for for Hot Rod? Might bite the bullet and grab him this week

>An entire size class was compromised in order to be able to form an arm or a leg.
Because that's part of what the characters were. A Swindle toy wouldn't be a real Swindle toy if it didn't also transform into a limb. If you wanted more complex shit there were three (3) other size classes to choose from.

>Motormaster was complete trash
only in the torso mode. It's a completely serviceable Motormaster toy individually.

>the combiners needed third party add ons to look halfway decent.
at least I have an option for making them look decent, unlike TR which are permanently stuck with trashy heads.

>Headmasters are a thing
Yeah, maybe for all of like eight characters they did that were actually headmasters. But for everyone else no.

>But.. why though?
Partsforming. Head silhouettes ruined. Articulation ruined. You can't look at Scourge or Astrotrain and tell me with a straight face that it looks better with all that headmaster shit hanging behind their faces. Or Krok's and Nautica's head shapes being completely wrong because they're forced to be squares. Or Overlord having black bits showing and a wrong helmet shape because of the shitty gimmick.

>It doesn't monopolize the figure in any way like combining did
Yes it does. I can ignore the combining gimmick. I can't ignore headmasters.

>It actually added play value
So did combiner wars except the "added play value" was actually something good instead of

Fucking listen to YOURSELF. Added play value? Why, couldn't the vehicles drive around without a pilot before? Forget about how practically none of the headmaster even have their eyes painted and are 1-2 solid blocks of color. And it IS retarded that they couldn't do all of the canonical headmasters but had to botch guys like Soundwave that should've been in Classics or Universe a decade ago. Just because you're OK with it doesn't make it OK. Stop being triggered because somebody else is triggered.

This. Also, mold defects have been way worse in TR. Bobblehead Scourge/Highbrow spring to mind. Also, trusting in Hasbro plastic is a really bad gamble at this point, and the entire gimmick of the line is 'force this uneven peg into a hole'. Pretty soon, they're all going to be bobbleheads if they can even hold their heads on period.

>>6429810

CW Devastator and Liokaiser should have been formed from 6 deluxes. But I haven't seen Victory, so whereas I skipped Devastator I still really like Liokaiser for his paintjob and the new heads.

All Motormaster's that are repaints/retools of Optimus are garbage.

He needs his big stupid cab feet.

1. G1. Lasted the longest and had the most variety of styles and gimmicks. Plus, my two favorite TF cartoons are from this era: the original series and Master Force.

2. Beast Wars. Fan boys think it's cool to mock it today, but this was the first 30 minute toy commercial to win an Emmy. So, haters can get stuffed.

3. Animated. The designs were unique and the toys were amazingly close to the animation models.

>>6429897

This is a good thing because it makes the combined mode less heavy and less likely to topple over.

Anon is not wrong though. I always thought Sega had the right idea with the Saturn originally being designed as a super 2D system. That generation's 3D was a crime. Just look at the huge difference between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. it's like night and day.

God, I really want to believe the Bee movie is the Batman Begins of Transformers, but while the director is solid and the setting is interesting, there's always the looming shadow of Hasbro ready to fuck things up somehow.

I wish they made connectors spring-loaded for easy attachment/detachment. But of course they decided to go with using a single piece of plastic that will get bent out of shape or break over time.

Shit, are you me ? I was generally a very stupid kid, but I remember seeing the first generations of 3d games and I didnt understand what people saw in them. I thought they were a step back, most of them looked sooo ugly.

Seeing people on tv going apeshit over Virtua Fighter was one of the most puzzling moments in my life. "looks like a bunch of cubes awkwardly moving around ! Street Fighter II looks better thant his !"

I never got into beast wars but I was never a fan of cgi animated shows. I miss classic animation. Animated was pretty good.

Not the TR boosting anon but wanted to post in support of him. TR is a fun line, and if you can't see that then you have your head up your own autistic ass. Also no business sense. If you want slavish adherence to G1 you have the MP line and 3rd parties now. The main Classics/Generations/whatever line should always be a bit more experimental, otherwise the entire franchise will get driven into the ground with the same fucking figures overlapping.

Besides, you may not realize this, having grown up with TF Prime, but the original G1 figures were all based around the conceit of having pilots. It always bugged me that G1 Prime had five cockpits and no figures to fit in them.

Finally, your point about the figures being unpainted is moot, unless you're too much of a poorfag to buy the Takara releases.

>>6430126
I believe it. It's exactly something that Hasbro would do.

>>6430592
Same thing here, sadly enough. It's almost as cheap of an idea as making a Starscream, a Thundercracker and a Skywarp out of a Jetfire mold, which means it's totally plausible for modern Hasbro standards.

At least I found Roadburn and Brawn finally. But seriously, how long do you anons think wave 1 is going to shelfwarm where I'm at? It looks like anyone who was gonna buy one of them already has, and it's been over half a year already.

>>6430621
They're good enough for me, I'm just getting sick of seeing them clogging space where other stuff I want to buy could otherwise go. I had to go out of state to find Rodimus and Triggerhappy months back, and still never found a Getaway. I'd really like a Misfire but not about to drop $30 on some ebay fag for one.
I just can't understand what the fuck that Walmart was thinking, in mid-december all pegs were filled to the brim with wave 1, in addition to a center-aisle display jammed with as many more as they could cram in.

We got one store that's had Wave 1 Voyagers ever since they arrived.
The weirdest part is that it's pretty much the only store that stocked Titans Return, and it only did so once.

>>6430629
the extra color REALLY makes the mold look better.

>>6430633
Weird, I had just assumed my local store had over-estimated the christmas season and over-ordered, but now I'm not sure what to think. The even stranger part is that there's hardly any movie toys at my local stores right now, the deluxes are on a top peg out of the way with the TR stuff all front-and-center. I would think that Hasbro would rather the movie stuff get top billing right now, given the movie being in theaters. Someone's been shot in the foot here and I'm not sure who did the shooting or who's foot is bleeding.

>>6430629
One thing I've really liked on Takara's TR releases is how clear their transparent plastic is compared to Hasbro's. It makes it easier to see the headmasters in the cockpits, and since the headmasters have painted faces, you actually WANT to see them. It's a small touch that makes the figures look a lot nicer.

>>6430627
I'm not usually someone who's buy the Takara version, but I'd recommend waiting for Takara to fix Getaway. The Hasbro Breakaway is just a bad toy. They don't have the nostalgic feelings for the Powermasters that Takara does, since they was never a cartoon with them here, so they really half assed the toy.

>>6430646
>waiting for Takara to fix Getaway
Takara won't release Getaway. They typically don't bother with straight repaints.

I really thought I wanted this guy, but all the QC and tabbing/locking issues I've heard about have made him an easy pass, along with Bee.

Same. A G2-inspired bot mode and movie inspired alt mode would be awesome.

My only other issue with that 3p one is I wish his shoulders did /something/. I obviously want him to have his big shoulder towers, but I wish there was some collapsing or something going on in them.

B-but just like bee, I don't have any QC issues whatsoever. If you don't want them, that's fine but QC is a really bad reason to not get them

All my issues are with sculpt and proportion. Things that usually fade when I start playing with the toy

>>6430716
I also don't really want them. I don't like MP Bee's color, and I've managed 10 years without buying any form of movie Prime, as close as I may have come sometimes. I just really like the idea of owning cross-generational forms of characters, it would have been neat to display them with their G1 MP counterparts, but I've realized I don't actually want them for the figures themselves.

I'll deal with ops face cuz this figure makes me really sentimental. Back in 08 I had the entire movie line just about and a burglar took all my belongings including my figures. I always told myself not to worry bc a much nicer version of these figures would come along one day and here they are

>>6430826
Looks pretty cool. And they actually got the color right for once instead of just making him bright red like every other retail Rodimus.

I hate how much these threads throw the term "retool" around. It's not even fucking close. Just like how people claimed Chromedome was a retool of whatever mold. It's not. It's just a similar-looking car. You people see a white sports car and start shouting "RETOOL, RETOOL!" because it makes you feel clever for connecting two dots that aren't even part of the same picture.

The ignorance is almost painful.

>>6430868

People just don't understand shared engineering, it can use the same transformation and articulation but its still a new mold until otherwise proven.
