>>6456769
Holy fuck, I had no ideia there were even that many RiD figures for a single character in the first place, let alone that many Strongarms. Are any of those actually good or else?

Also, you're missing the McDonalds one.

>>6456772
Technically it is inflated because includes both the Hasbro and Takara releases of the same mold and the same-character recolors.

>>6456766
>>6456771
I wanted to include Offroad into my Stunticons team for the sake of mold diversity but that is just sad.

Having grown up with the 90's toys that just kind of flipped over and then were a robot, he felt nostalgically simple to me. I liked that.

>>6456775
Ever actually had one in hands? He's a pretty solid figure for a pre-BW Transformer, GPS aside. The guy even looks better than some early Armada and Energon bricks.

imho the Machine Wars repaint should have just gone straight G1 Prime instead of being mostly white and woodland green. This figure was bursting with potential for a good Optimus repaint, but Hasbro done fucked it up.

Time to stop browsing tfu.info

>>6456784
Eh, I have Offroad and I think he's great.

>>6456794
Speaking as a massive G1 Prime fanboy who thinks he's The erudite figure that defines classics Transformers as a whole, I've always felt like the proportions of Thunderclash / MW Prime were somewhat better in comparison. He does look more modern, if something.

>>6456799
Even as a wee retarded child I found it weird that he was even more brickish than the G2 Prime I had.

>>6456784
I honestly prefer Offroad to Wildrider just so I'm not repeating molds on one combiner. He's definitely the best use of the truck mold and worth picking up imo.

>>6456794
I don't get the hate. The only thing bad about that mold is the giant easter island head and it's not that bad a flaw.

>>6456806
I'll at least give him this, I do like the trailer base gimmick. I just think his cab/robot is way to brickish for me. Like I seem to recall that his shoulders were locked in place despite looking like they can rotate.

>>6456787

>>6456810
>>6456818
I'm guessing you only managed to get the Machine Wars one in the late 90s? Keep in mind that Thunder Clash was released in 1992, an entire year before G2 even kicked off. He was an absurdly cool figure for his time.

You seriously felt like he's less brick-ish than Thunder Clash? I mean, his entire proportions are literal cubes and rectangles, anon. Not that he isn't a god-tier classic figure, he actually did manage to have an absurd amount of articulation for a Diaclone-based mold, but I wouldn't say he beats Thunder on aesthetics alone.

>>6456864
good except for John Warden's forced gimmick nonsense.

>>6456856

I kind of grew up in bum fuck Alabama for most of my childhood. So my only like peak at Transformers was the once in a while hour drive to the mall and getting to rummage in a KB Toys bin.

I lucked out and had a G2 Prime, the green and purple Tank Megatron, and a few other things little things.

>>6456869
I mean yeah Old Optimus is a box, but he could move quite a bit for being a box. Thunder felt entirely stationary, as a little kid Optimus being a boxy shape didn't bother me because he was a robot, but he was a robot with totally rad blaster he could actually aim around with his posable arms.

>>6456878
I'm really interested in this bee purely because it looks like it has the exact same transformation as the MPM only simplified

Most of them got generic names. Like I think Snare became Flame Jet, and most of the smaller guys got names like that and were two-packs with each other. Skyquake was highly rumored to be the basis for Scrash, who was going to be the big bad of one of the short post-anime toylines but got scrapped.

You know there were actual American exclusive molds you could have put there and you put ugly overpriced redecos.

Here's an easy one, man: Cybertron Armorhide is a great Scout Class toy and he was never released in Japan.

>>6456981
He was released everywhere else in the world though, the point was probably to include TFs who were only exclusive to one specific country / region.

MP Ironhide is really fucking good aside from the hipskirts. He's at a nice price and is absolutely loaded with accesories (and storage for them as well). I honestly think it's one of the best releases once you get past the hip skirts (you'll find people really don't like those hip skirts)

If you don't like the hip skirts, you can buy the shadow fisher upgrade kit for like 20-ish dollars to solve the only flaw the toy has (hip skirts).

That color scheme on Krok looks pretty neato. I wonder what the odds are of him showing up in a store near me are.

>>6457352
There seams/gaps aren't really any worse than other MPs if you have everything together tightly.

I wouldn't know if the autobot logo being messed up is a common QC issue, but my Ratchet's logo has a smudge on it so maybe it is.

Oh nothing, I find the picture humorous.

The actual product is a qc ridden mess despite limited release however

>many units have mis-assembled arm tabs preventing proper secure jet transformations
>floppy joints are common
>slight missassembly in wing panels, while not detrimental to transformation they are a minor cosmetic issue that also causes a *crack* noise when folding wings and the only way to self correct is to break the wings and reattach

And each one can vary with their qc
>mine is an obviously factor fixed copy, to the point where they forgot to reattach an arm panel which was originally used to secure starscream's cape, now its just a big ass hole
>mine's nose is chipped, looks like they painted it over

I love ramjet but he was the reason why I got off my takara high horse and realized you're fucked either way

>>6457379
Something I wondered about that mold, do the coneheads stand much better than the regular seekers with the weight of the wings on their legs rather than their backs?

>>6457389
With their loose joints I think they're about the same, but all can stand once you get the heel spurs out.

I actually find the new wings to be heavier than the original mp11 wings so if you try to go too far if its not their weight its the joints giving in, I found thrust to be the most troublesome.

Regardless whatever seeker they are, unless you got the flight stand they MUST be flat footed

Excuse kitchen only place where I could shoot all 3 at once

I really hope they make a new masterpiece seeker mold, the current is utter shit.

CHUG Star Convoy when?

>>6457539

>>6457478
"Best offer" means you have to use all 3 of your allotted offers, the seller will decline them all, and then make a counter-offer that is precisely a nickel lower than their "buy it now" price.

>>6457186
Is there any RID toy that's worth buying?
There's always something that turns me off.
Shitty gimmicks ruining the toy, bad articulations, or terrible sculpting choices like with those hands you have there.
Maybe it's a toyline less aimed towards collectors and more towards the kids, but even kids like some quality in their toys.

On the other hand I like a lot of their character designs, save for the flat faces. But it's not enough to redeem above problems.

>>6457556
Most people seem to agree that Bisk/Thermidor, Bludgeon and Twinferno are pretty fun.

>>6457539
Almost got him in the form of tr voyager optimus (as in laser optimus), deliberately colored to be like star convoy, even had an alt head directly homaging planned, alas tossed aside

>>6457556
Warrior soundwave makes for a good wfc reference, if you hate the head gimmick of tr rid windblade works great, rid seeker mold can work if you want a hybrid chug seeker with cape look, and blundgeon works well as his predecessor toy megatronus.

RID won't be quite like other lines but they do the job well, I honestly find the quality the same as TR's stuff, hell rid sideswipe was more complex than all of the tr deluxes, bit of a surprise

>>6457546
It would have made sense. Why make an alternate face if the voyager release, and box set version use the G2 Laser Rod head? The alternate head would give people a reason to get the voyager, and the silver on the face helps break up the sea of blue he has going on up there.

>>6457539
I like how his base alt mode is just him doing a loin-shattering van damme split.

Aside from
>Warrior Steeljaw (awkward design choices)
>Warrior Grimlock (exploding elbows)
>Warrior Sideswipe (ineffective shoulder locks)
Most of the warrior class toys are samey good-bad. Standouts are Bisk, Bludgeon and Stormshot.

Legion class toys are mostly good for their size. Cyclonus and Windblade aren't that good though.

Crazybolt is the one standout of all the gimmick-line toys. It's one of the most articulated beastformers at the moment.

One whole line I would recommend is the Minicon 2-packs, the figures they come with are similar to those G2 ball-jointy toys >>6456948

As for the minicons, you may like the ones that turn into weapons with 5mm handles, if you can find them.

Hascon Arcee is going to be available through HTS, Amazon, Toysrus.com and smaller online retailers after the convention is over.

Yet people still believe that Robert's Robot Convention was going to deliver all those Titan's Returns repaints that probably would have run over a grand with how he was overcharging for the cost of the sets. Hascon wants to make everything affordable to collectors and release larger sets as mainstream items in order to reduce the costs.

It takes someone with an interest to actually do something and tf's are no different, if say a parent can't work out a one step its mostly likely they bought it to shut their kid up who still hasn't shut up because (hard to believe) they don't know if its "doing the thing".

When I was a kid my father couldn't work them out until I took the time and interest to work them out, only because my mother had a passing interest and could get them half transformed, years later parents stopped buying tf's for my younger brother when they realized they sat around, did nothing, and I ended up dragging them into my room because I never needed manuals.

So yeah, even one steps, ESPECIALLY one steps fall into this, hell maybe they got it right but thought it wasn't transformed correctly

I think you need to detach yourself from the modern fandom. When I was a kid in G1 my mom LOVED Bumblebee so made sure to get me his toy besides Optimus Prime. Those were the only two characters she could remember. When G2 came out I got another Bumblebee.

He was one of the most popular characters, was the very first one to get a second new toy by way of Goldbug. Was not until Toy Fare magazine and the post-Beast Wars "yellow kid appeal character" becoming a running thing that people started to shit on him.

Man, imagine if they stuck with Hound as the kid appeal character!

Goddamn I'd love a 86 Movie styled Devastation game.

I mean you could bring back most of the voice cast for it like Judd Nelson, Susan Blu, John Moschitta, Neil Ross....maybe Jack Angel for Ultra Magnus and Cyclonus.....since he's still alive and did take on both roles later on.

I really love how TFP Hotshot is referencing the Animated blue Hotshot which in turn, is a mish-mash of Armada and Cybertron Hotshots. That alone made it the best Hotshot update. The yellow color is just tainted now.

He's never been "main". He's had some important moments, and there was a whole issue about him confronting Soundwave which was pretty fuckin' boss, but he rarely gets more than a page worth of panels.

In his defense, it still only looks marginally better. The chrome grill and alternate face still don't fix the massive expanses with zero detail, and the fact that 90% of the figure is the same shade of red. They should have not gone full retard and incorporated some of the details from the toy like almost ever MP before.

Best Voyager Megatron that's decently g1? Need something to scale with my KBB Voyager Optimus. I'd rather not do third party since the price is always ludicrous.

I think it's usually just an excuse to return an unwanted (opened) figure. People pull that shit a lot in some countries.
Mine caught on years ago though
>Buy item
>Looks fine in package
>Open it
>Find out it's broken
>Try to return it
>"Sorry, you've opened the package"

>>6457888
Once before, hasn't happened since then.

We sell the flip changers now, only ever seen 2 sold, I suspect are just shop lifted

>>6457888
What country? I'm in the states, and after Christmas you can return shit to the big stores without receipt and nobody says shit about it. You can't get cashback, though you used to, but you get store credit.

>>6457872
TR Megatron feels decent if you don't mind the Headmastering, but the Classics/Henkei one is pretty solid on that note too.

>>6457660
>And if you find warriors literally buried in them consider shopping somewhere else where retards aren't stacking shelves/kids aren't testing your patience.
It's literally every toy section within an hour's drive. I'm talking 4 TRUs and 20 department stores. Then you go online, where most shops don't carry them and eBay/Amazon sellers want $40 each. It's needlessly difficult.

I suppose if you like cheap-ass stickers and milky gray-beige plastic that washes out almost every sculpted detail.

yea

Just wait for the inevitably better POTP one and stop doing shitty head swaps on TR toys.

>>6457920
But that's what Megatron suppose to look like, a gray robot.

>when your autism buys you a one step changer
i thought id get the normal ass bisk, i got a shitty mousetrap.

not gonna return it to the store because its like an hour drive of shame for 20e.
just gonna try to forget about this shame.

on a related note, transformer selection in finland is weak.
didnt see a single movie figure.

>>6457920
>Milky gray-beige plastic that washes out almost every sculpted detail
I have the figure right in front of me and he's fine in actual in-person lighting conditions.
>Cheap-ass stickers
Haven't fallen off, but have mildly threatened to.
He's got a good weight to him I didn't expect after handling Sentinel Prime and Astrotrain. and none of the modes feel like they sacrifice too much for eachother.
This weird "Hastak cheaps the fuck out" boogeyman seems to be started by people who never saw the toys in person, which I can't blame them for since the distribution on half of them is fucking garbage.

Gray doesn't have to look bad, Hasbrocuck.

Also, I always thought he was silver. Like pretty much every depiction in comic, cartoon or toy form makes him look shiny silver, or at least metallic. I'm pretty sure Megatron isn't supposed to be the same color as leftover cereal milk, though.

>>6457930
>Haven't fallen off, but have mildly threatened to.
They'd be doing the toy a favor if they fell off. They look cheap as fuck.

>>6457925
An anon in the last thread bought one of those too and instantly regretted it, eventually went back for Blurr after everyone told him to. Are the only customers for 1-step changers people who buy garbage by accident?

>>6457932
Eh, only ones I thought looked bad were the gun engraving details, and I pulled those fuckers off myself. The wing stripes, thank fuck, look way better.

>>6457933
>Are the only customers for 1-step changers people who buy garbage by accident?

I genuinely don't know many people who actually buy them.

I think Hasbro is just waisting shelf space on it.

>>6457933
most likely.
like, had i not been going hard on autism, and checked the box while at the store, i wouldnt have bothered.

also, i think stupid parents buy them for kids as presents.
i dont even get why they make them.

If you want to see grey plastic that actually looks GOOD just look at Henkei Megatron or WFC Megatron. The plastic they used on TR Megatron looks like cheap near-translucent bullshit.

Still no news on an MP-36 repaint? I just want him in silver, but I'd also take a Marvel comic recolor in a heartbeat.

Lately I find I'm gravitating toward any toy deco that isn't associated with the cartoon.

>>6457946
like, surely the actual transformers are what sell.
and all this branded "junk" is just a weak attempt at cashing in.
also, why is there a one step changer Bisk?
i get a bumblebee one since they just keep shitting out different bumblebees, but a Bisk?

which is why i didnt think there would be a one step changer of him, so i didnt even bother looking any deeper into it.

Exhaust and Loudpedal are awesome as fuck. They make a great henchmen duo. I like to imagine that Artfire and Exhaust particularly hate each other because of the firefighter/smoker relationship. Clampdown is gorgeous and makes a fun companion to Artfire. Artfire himself is brilliant, especially if you don't already own the mold.

The obscure repaints are like the only reason I'm following the MP line anymore.

>I can see people abusing the fuck out of that.
One year when I was still a highschool hoodlum my friends and I made the rounds of several Walmarts shoplifting expensive camcorder batteries and returning them in the post-christmas rush for store credit on giftcards.
How's your government btw, last I heard a few days ago there was talk of them resigning or something?

>>6457974
Fuck man, just return him for something you actually want, even if it takes a couple weeks to get back there just repackage him with the receipt and toss him in a bag.
