The clone set listing said clone bots so it's safe to assume it's the Autobot twins
>>6463035
>TakaraTomy is calling John Warden a dog-tank.
Is this an insult or a compliment, I don't understand.
>>6463035
I hope takara reissues mp Grimlock in the near future or make a new mold that scales with the newer mps or new dinobots, im sick of car molds
d-do you play with your transformers? Or just posing them?
I mainly buying them for not only collection but playing purposes. If they look like no fun to play with i wont buy it.
I cant imagine how fun it will be to play with Fortress Maximus when i get him. I will pretend like somebody attached him and using his agility skills to run/climb around Maximus and big ol'M. tries to catch him with his slow-moving arms.
And then that character will climb to his shoulder and say something "anime smug face jpg" and Fortress will try to kill it like fly but just hit his empty shoulder because that character will be too fast for that move.
i know its autistic but hey its also fun
>>6463095
>attached
*attacked
>>6463095
Pose is play.
Did anyone else get their Evolution 2 pack in a stupidly large box?
>>6463117
Pose =/= play. Not at all.
playing = making a situation for characters and making them act through this situation
Examples:
Situation: To make it from point A to point B.
Character: Car
Act: Making car to reach point B.
Situation: To defeat a giant
Characters: Fortress Maximus and Blurr
Act: Help Blurr to climb Fortress, reach last point which will be shoulder and attack Fortress head
Posing toys is posing. Not playing.
>>6463095
>d-do you play with your transformers?
Yes.
>>6463121
I'm on the fense in regards of buying that set. I'm just not a big fan of cybertronian vehicle modes unless it's a Decepticon.
>>6463125
Posing characters also moves them through situations.
>>6463095
I envy you. I'd really love to play with my figures like I used to, but I just can't.
>tfw only getting figures because collector brain
>tfw most satisfying part is the buying, not the opening
>tfw you never touch them again
I also often feel like getting figures just because they're a "must have" like Trypticon, even when I don't like the figure at all.
>>6463035
>Takara LG-58 Clone set (Unknown if it is Autobot or Decepticon)
It says Clone BOT set, wouldn't that make it the Clonebots?
>>6463170
>"must have" like Trypticon, even when I don't like the figure at all.
>making Trypticon eat other characters while their autobot friends watch it and stand shocked and frightened is not fun

>>6463035
>Takara won again
Who woulda thunk?
>>6462566
It's a wyrm!
>>6463177
It's a great figure overall, but I really don't like the paint job. I'd get it in a heartbeat if it was cartoon-dark.
>>6463177
Can Trypticon simulate Titanmaster diarrhea, plopping them out the rear end?
Anyone got that pic of TLK deluxe Barricade with DOTM deluxe Barricade's head and looking fine as fuck?
>>6463203
A pregnant one
>>6463209
Nope, his belly is just a room. The tail design separates it from the torso.
>>6463233
>Titan Class
>No digestive system
God damn now I've got another reason to buy it.
>>6463035
Pls no bully my weird doggo
>>6463095
I play with my figures when the misses isn't home, but only for like 5 mins, can't go for hours like I did when I was a child. It's usually always a highway chase or a rush out of a blowing up spaceship.
>>6463258
Now all you need is an Optimus riding a Grimlock riding your ferret
>>6463262
I don't have a Optimus good enough, and I can't find my human alliance Shia Labeouf. Also, the weird doggo won't settle until night time, which is when he lets me put figures on him.
>>6463268
Dude, don't fucking strangle your cat.
>>6463268
>>6463258
>have a cat
>never did this
Holy fuck now im absolutely gonna try it!
>>6463258
Uh, that's a pretty strange doggo riding your cate indeed.
>>6463268
That poor cat looks nervous af
>>6463259
>when the misses isn't home,
who? i guess miss-female=wife/daughter.
But why dont play when they are at home?
>>6463304
Cats don't have facial expressions, you dolt. He just looks like he's fucking tired of his humen as all cats do.
>>6463311
>he's fucking tired of his humen as all cats do.
My cat is never tired of me. hes 13 but still runs to me whenever i call him no matter how far he is.
>>6463311
>Cats don't have facial expressions, you dolt.
>>6463311

>>6463311
>Cats don't have facial expressions, you dolt.
>>6463311
What do you suppose we can expect from the Takara release? A fix for the weird sunken head hopefully?
>>6463328
I'd be happy if that rumor saying they'll de-headmaster him and ship him with two powermasters came true.
>>6463328
Giga, Mega AND Devil Z.
>>6463311
>Cats don't have facial expressions, you dolt.
>>6463328
I'd hope that they change it so that the waist guns can come out, I'd be cool with the godmasters being physically headmasters, but with engines for faces. Perhaps wrist rotation and being taller? New helmet's a certainty.
>>6463320
>>6463321
>>6463325
>>6463326
>>6463337
You're not helping by only posting cats doing the exact same round-eyed facial expressions.
>>6463121
who did you order from?
>>6463209
No but you can imitate it provided you treat the tail like an ass.
Just open the tail cavity and throw some tm's behind him
>>6463258
That's a nice darth vader helmet you got there, also I'm a big fan of the cloverfield movie, good taste

Every normal person is conscious of their social reputation. Dont give the the 'lel look who's insecure' bullshit because if you're not aware of how you're viewed then there's a high chance you're either autistic, laughed at behind your back or avoided. Hell, maybe even all 3.

>>6463405
Wow. You must have really been picked on as a kid.
Were you the poor one who used to wear his Sears 'Husky Plus" corduroy slacks hiked up to his armpits, withe the cuffs half way up his shins, and had tape holding his glasses together , or the smelly one with greasy hair who obsessed over meerkats?
Or, maybe the one who always had snot dripping out of his nose, who's dad was "in the CIA and always away on secret missions", so all your "uncles" used to come over and take care of Mommy while he was gone.
>Every normal person is conscious of their social reputation. Dont give the the 'lel look who's insecure' bullshit because if you're not aware of how you're viewed then there's a high chance you're either autistic, laughed at behind your back or avoided.
As long as:
1-You love yourself and are comfortable in your own skin
2-You have the love of Friends and Family,
Fuck everybody else and "social reputation". Living your life according to what others think is bullshit, and a sure sign you have a lot of baggage that needs to be dealt with, and an insecurity the size of a Buick,
>>6463423
He's good. Covered in paint you'll never notice.
Really hoping we see a new version of his first Camaro toy next year.
Guys, I really want this repaint for MP Sunstreaker. It would go perfectly with Clampdown. If they make it an Autobot, I can pretend they're a good cop/bad cop duo, and if they make it a Decepticon I can pretend they're brothers, only one of them defected when he realized the only way to truly enforce the law was through tyranny.
Also I hope they give the Diaclone repaints better heads. Actually, I hope they still fucking DO Diaclone repaints. The last one was Delta Magnus a year ago, and we haven't seen an announcement. I wonder if the sales haven't been good enough...
>>6463331
not likely. even the takara exclusive godbomber got a hm so it seems that the gimmick was embraced on both ends of the tf design bureau.
>>6463388
Japan still uses the bot designation for Autobot/Cybertron subgroups.
-triplebots - autobot triplechangers
-dinobots
-protectobots
-airbots - aerialbots
-techbots - technobots
-firebots - monsterbots
-clonebots - autobots clones.
>>6463431
With an alt. mode like this, I figure this guy would be the bad cop, but going by the bio, Clampdown is kind of already the bad cop. I guess they could be bad cop/worse cop.
>>6463438
Something about those superchargers on a police car gives me a stiffy.
>>6463297
That's a lotta heads, pretty crazy to think that even only counting Hasbro releases there's like 60+ of the little guys.
>>6463259
Got two kids now - full time weekend job is to play with them for hours. They fucking love Optimus MPP10. Wife happy & friends impressed at my 'effort'. For that time I completely return to be a kid, it's just so, so, fucking great. Spend all week trawling tfg thinking what I can buy to play with next weekend.
>>6463438
I have no interest in MP Sunstreaker but I would absolutely buy that.
Which is the best grimlock to get?
>>6463477
surprisingly the downsized KO MP
Take these with a grain of salt.
>coming soon at hascon
Looks like teasers, plausible ones.
What an abomination this is gonna be
>>6463493
Things are looking grim indeed
>>6463420
I really want the 67 Bumblebee to be repainted into Cliffjumper but with Stinger being the current ongoing red repaint I don't think that's possible anymore.
TLK Bee as Stinger would be cool, though.
>>6463495
Could this be the king?
Only time will tell
>>6463212
>>6463500
>those proportions
I guess it's back to the turd party.
>>6463511
>taking out the kids toys-adult collectibles dichotomy
I always go for the official first because the sculpt is always better and the build is always more solid and lacks that third party soul shattering squeaking. Looks need to be disgusting to make me consider the third party version.
>>6463517
Feral rex is still the better figure in general and until takara start mp gestalts better stay away from the retail stuff.
It works for me because I have no intention of getting anything bigger than mp star saber/magnus and anything larger will be something I want to mess with ie retail gestalts, as better looking at feral rex is he'll become statue shit to me.
But that's my take and nothing is wrong with yours, one day takara will top feral rex, until then the choice is yours
nth for fun old(ish) toys from eBay
>>6463495
>>6463511
You literally just need to do a single reverse image search to debunk this, only an idiot would think Hasbro could get proportions done this well.
>>6463534
Rapid Run is kinda rare.
>>6463534
I really do love that Blaster/Soundwave mold. With just a little better kibble management he would have been 10/10.
>>6463528
Hey how big is feral rex? I know there's an OS KO but I would prefer one that's about the size of CW combiners. I don't need Predaking to be a fuckhuge like the upcoming titan class
>>6463535
Like I said, pinch of salt.
>its actually a combined dinobot abomination
Wheew, I thought it was grimlock for a moment
Also cw superion is good for a retail product in proportions, the rest I have to agree on
>>6463493
You're a faggot, these renders are almost a decade old.
>>6463506
Lovely
>>6463534
Preddy gud haul. That Cybertron Quickmix isn't the best design but there's a charm to it.
>>6463500
>>6463552
Ditto.
>>6463552
and now another group is taking them as teasers.
The best result now would be a big site takes them as the real deal
>>6463559
With that cannon arm I'm surprised I've never seen one painted up as a custom Omega Supreme.
>>6463559
I have the orange version, he makes a nice team with gen Scoop.
>>6463559
>>6463568
>Scoop gets a new toy out of nowhere
>tfw no Landfill ever
I'm getting so close to having modern versions of every G1 toy I had as a kid, Seaspray got me one closer.
>>6463534
Thinking of it, I could have this Soundwave as my definitive CHUG Soundwave.
>that backpack
OH
N
O
>>6463423
Always wanted to do a custom paint on the SS
>>6463568
Yeah, his OG Cybertron colors are based on G1 Scoop anyways, even his minicon Stripmine is based one of Scoop's targetmasters. Too bad they didn't do an actual G1 Quickmix red/white repaint.
>>6463578
>>6463576
the arms are pretty crap though. What could have been back kibble ended up on the forearms and gets in the way severely.
It was a praised toy back in the day but solely because it was the first Soundwave update since the 80s. Now there are far better, more accurate updates and remakes, and this toy just suffers from bad design.
>>6463582
That was so bizarre. Instead they did a green repaint, but didn't name him Mixmaster.
>>6463576
The backpack is surprisingly unobtrusive. It's the arm kibble that kills it. I've considered hinging the big wings so they can angle back some just to slim him silhouette and attaching the nosecone kibble to the back so it can rotate up and not be on his arms. It would be complicated, but doable. His core bot mode just looks so sleek that he still have a spot in my heart.
>>6463593
>>6463596
>tfw sold my Universe Blaster on ebay but kept Blockrock
>>6463593
What I like more than Soundwave himself is the Laserbeak. It's one of my favorite versions of Laserbeak.
>>6463605
Mines tail sadly broke off.
>>6463121
How much is that pack?
>>6463671
30 on Amazon
>>6463121
What else was in the box? Maybe they just had a shitload of extra long boxes and they wanted to get rid of 'em or something.
>>6463537
I actually got Rapid Run MOSC for the grand total of £8. I was tempted to keep it in, but I bought him to fiddle with and was not disappointed
>Amazon is selling Trypticon on two different blocks
They did the same thing with Fortress Maximus; why don't they just eliminate the Tryp and just keep all the shops selling Tryp under one block?

Deluxe figures in POTP don't seem to have Headmasters, so you'll have to wait even longer.

I still need to get one of those sets
>>6463766
I would be but I live a state away from my niece and nephew and my brother doesn't really come to visit. I wouldn't even really have anywhere to put him and his kids anyway because I also live with roommates. If those kids ever saw the house though, they'd lose their shit.
>>6463766
That's me. All the cousins are older with kids, I get to spend thanksgiving and the Fourth of July playing with my bots. It's cool to see which ones they're attracted to, Beast Wars Mutant Icebird is popular for some reason
Being the cool uncle/older cousin owns
Anybody have a picture of the optimum arrangement, either in truck or bot mode, for Last Knight Hound with Age of Extinction Hound's guns? And whoever thought those rubber forearms on AoE Hound were an acceptable substitute for swivel wrists needs to be sewing frilly pink doll clothes in a 'Nam sweatshop.
I'm surprisedTR Laser Rod Optimus ended up cheap and easy to find, if only Black Convoy was that easy...
>>6463948
If there's more people like me that avoid retools and repaints nobody asked/expected then it's no wonder there's low demand of TR Optimus; most likely they are waiting for Octane and skipping Optimus.

>>6464002
This right here is the true secret. These slots on his cab calves are sculpted perfectly for the tiny pistols.
>>6464004
Do they stay securely in on yours? They pop out real easy on mine so I stuck them on his back.
>>6464006
Yeah mine are pretty solid. If I bump them, they do pop out, but I think that's just a normal thing.
>>6464004
I'm wondering why they bothered just for one of them. It's clear the design does take the old guns into account do the small pegs at certain points, but his more iconic guns were the Gatling and the shotguns so you'd expect those to get that kind of preferential treatment.
>>6463990
Oh, really? Now I'm excited. I hope they have Targetmaster Roddy on display. I need more tiny gun-men in my life.

>I'm so fucking glad this gimmick is over
But it's not over. PotP has headmasters you 'tard. Except now they have emblems on them instead of faces.
Nucelon could work well as the basis for a TR RID Megs/Gigatron
>>6464104
I don't think they'll ever be able to top RID Gigatron in this day and age. That toy is still holds up well. If anything, I wish the mold got more releases with new heads and stopped using chrome.
>>6464103
I think he means you don't have to take a characters head to transform them anymore, which is true, so far.

It was just the Evolution 2 pack.
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/07/28/hascon-exclusives-2017/hascon-transformers-arcee/#main
Don't know if this has been posted yet, but apparently that Arcee headmaster is going to be a hascon exclusive. Her headmaster is Ultra Magnus, and the whole thing is just a repainted Blurr. Also there's a working usb charger that transforms in Optimus, which is kind of cool.
hey /toy/ am I doing this right?
>>6464125
Unless things changed, it was mentioned that Arcee and Magnus were just early releases, not exclusives.
Man, I really wish they made more changes to the Blurr mold to accommodate her.
>>6464128
>wish they made more changes to the Blurr mold
Funny how she has bigger looking shoulders then blurr, btw, what was the last titanmaster name on the Trypticons Os? any idea yet of who will come with Sorponk?
>>6464144
No one's sure at the moment, apparently a bunch of names are meant for the unnamed TM's in the box set, and Professor Go is apparently the TM for Orion Pax (haven't seen the source).

I don't follow convention shit, how can I buy one? What Titan Masters are included?
>>6464157
The one on the top is a TRU exclusive, the other a BBTS exclusive but you can find both on ebay at ridiculous prices if you don't want to hunt them.
what is the best good looking femaleformer we have/will have in the 2017?
>>6464168
Ah fuck. Those.
I'm waiting for the TAKARA WINS AGAIN sets for the headmasters and clones. This was a terrible idea.
>>6464169
There's only three, all headmasters.
I'd rate from best to worst:
Windblade.
Arcee.
Nautica.

>Viacom executives will be in the hot seat next week after jetting to China to help assuage the fears of a major film financing partner, Variety has learned.
>Executives from Viacom will travel to China next week to meet with their counterparts at Huahua and to try to reassure them that things will improve in coming months, a source close to Huahua tells Variety. The Chinese company is particularly disappointed with the reception of “Baywatch,” “Ghost in the Shell,” and “Transformers: The Last Knight,” and believes that Paramount’s creative team has not done a good job of making films that will play to international audiences.
>The company was particularly incensed that the most recent “Transformers” did not perform better in China. The film made nearly $230 million in the Middle Kingdom, but that was a significant drop-off from the $320 million earned by its predecessor, “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” in 2014. Globally, the film earned $570.6 million — a weak result given its $217 million budget.
>“Viacom needs to explain a better plan for how it spends [our] investment money,” the Huahua source said.
Production budget is just how much the movie costs. There's usually twice as much money in the movie as the budget they give. Tran5formers flopped and two companies may sink with it.
>>6464181
maybe is asking too much but where I can find pics of them? just search headmasters+name on google?
>>6464184
I have some of them, nice fembots but Pyra Magma and Megatronia are just male transformers with female looking faces...
>>6464189
For arcee you'd probably be better prefacing it with Hascon, Titans Return will work with the other two. They're all based on formerly male bodies.
I was wrong Megatronia also came out in 2017 like >>6464184 said, but you don't see to interested.

>>6464209
Did they outsource to Wyatt for that head design? Awful.
>>6464221
Both Kup and Orion's faces ended up weird.
How is TR Galvatron as a figure? It has a cool design, but is it worth $30 USD?
>>6464221
PMOP isn't any better.
>>6464228
Nope, he's only worth it if you can get him at 12-15 bucks.
-Head has no articulation with the mask
-Mask looks awful
-Fusion cannon is massive and positioned in an awkward way
-Plane mode is halfassed.
>>6464235
An ex-sculptor from Funpub must have snuck in at some point.
>>6464221
It looks like it's supposed to be reminiscent of animated prime's face.
>>6464240
Oh, I should also point out that we might get another in leader scale for POTP since they haven't revealed Megatron or Galvatron for it, yet.
>>6464251
If they do Ultra/Super Megatron, I'll cream. They'd probably just do Megatron to Galvatron though.
>>6464256
I'd be happy with either of those choices, but looking at the Prime, I doubt It will be anything battlestars related.

Can someone explain how this makes any sense at all? Why not pack Slugslinger in Wave 5 (taking out Wolfwire) and eliminate Wave 6?
Wave 6 is almost all repacks and it's coming out during the holiday season, so it's going to shelfwarm hard and make it nearly impossible to get the first wave of POTP.
>>6464396
Just as planned then. Screw the new line right from the start. Hasbro 101.

Does anyone collect the Transformers Robots in Disguise series of figures? Some looks pretty fun, just wondering if I should get into them.
>>6464418
It is a red corvette, but it has a really bad looking face and they cut out the accessories. Get Loudpedal or Tracks instead.
>>6464432
Car Robots RID, Prime RID, or current RID?
>>6464418
Depends on what you want. She looks good in a few neutral poses, but the weak arms and dice roll QC hurts her potential for anything else. I'd say get her KO for $20 if you really want one.
I bought MP Artfire. He's great. Now I hope Jazz gets made so I can get a Stepper to go with him.
>>6464432
>Does anyone collect the Transformers Robots in Disguise series of figures?
no, they're designed for literal toddlers and they look like shit
>>6464437
Yes.
>>6464359
Those arms need some secondary color somewhere. Blue fists, ANYTHING.
Let's all relive the horror of knowing Chris-chan exists for a sec. does Chris know about 3rd party tf figures?if yes what are his fellings on them? If no how do we get him to buy them ( so I can be even more mad about the absurd amounts of money he waist/ see if we can make him want to "make" and sell his own "custom" figures )
I figure his opinions on them is
>A to complex for him
>B hates them for not being made by hasbro/not having official names
>>6463322
Lol what is this from?
>>6464458
He'll never buy them due o brand loyalty and also because there's too much shit on the store shelves already to waste his tugboat on. Don't forget he's also addicted to LEGO, which has only gotten more expensive while he gets poorer.
>>6464359
Weird, looking over the color distribution on Kup and Orion Pax, I have no idea what part of the body shares colors with the feet. Are they on their own sprue with nothing else?
>>6464464
I wonder if he is so brand loyal he even know takara exists or he just thinks they are knock offs if he does know
Deluxe or Legends Wheeljack that is decently priced and not scalped when?
>>6464469
So he's /tfg/?
>Earth Wars weekend event rolls by
>The storyline of the Snarl/Hun-Gurrr event ends with the assertion of a Dinobot combiner and the implication of either Predaking or Abominus to match
If there somehow wasn't any reason to believe the leaks before, there is now.
>>6464472
There's the CW Wheeljack, the Generations Wheeljack, and the MP Wheeljack. Not sure how much each goes for these days, but the Gen was kind of dwarfish, the CW wasn't that accurate in robot mode, and the MP is expensive (unless you go for the KO, which tends to go for 30).
>>6464459
Transformers vs G.I. Joe
>>6464477
Pics?
>>6464472
just get the 2010 Generations one and stop being a poorfag.
>>6464477
They were believable the moment TFW fucked up and said Hasbro ordered the leaks be taken down.
On the other hand, a game doing this isn't always an indication something might happen since the other mobile game introduced some combiners that weren't accurate to CW
>>6464472
The CW NEEDS paint, otherwise its decent, I like him better than the generations.
>>6464480
The app was fucking up for me, but at the end of it Hun-Gurrr reveals the reason he was on Quintessa was that he was looking for schematics for a way to fuse the minds of cybertronians to make more stable combiners. He read the data directly, and Snarl cribbed it wirelessly. Snarl mentions that finally, the Dinobots can become one, while Megatron boasts that the next generation of Combiners shall be stronger than ever before.
>>6464446
Aren't most transformers 3+ if not 6+? I mean, it's not the most solid argument to make.
But this guy seems pretty neato
>>6464479
Uh? with POP Inferno, we are at a Redalert to make that Defensor.
>>6464490
>Hun-Gurrr reveals the reason he was on Quintessa was that he was looking for schematics for a way to fuse the minds of cybertronians to make more stable combiners
>his combined mode is FULL RETARD
You had ONE JOB, Hun-Gurr
>>6464485
Actually, the combiners have been EXCLUSIVELY accurate to CW for the most part.
>Superion uses Alpha Bravo and Powerglide, character models are all based on the recent toys
>Bruticus once again uses CW character models, albeit Bruticus is mistransformed
>Optimus Maximus uses a really fucked up way of getting Prime where he needs to be, but is otherwise the UW set layout with CW Rodimus' spoiler as a chestplate
>>6464418
I don't own it, but I do own Loudpedal and Tracks. The mold is stylish and quite poseable, despite handful of flaws. It gets more flack from anons here than it deserves, in my opinion.
>>6463408
Sauce anon! gibe de sauce!
>>6464498
Hun-Gurrr is the only Terrorcon in the game, so I assume the tech is meant for Predaking, since he's THE most intelligent combiner since his components are all equally single-minded in the THRILL of the HUNT.
>>6464486
I hate that this picture is always used to compare the two. Generations Wheeljack is improperly transformed, just to exaggerate his shortness.
>>6464511
I thought that was Pirancon (granted, I can't think of a single time the combiners characterization has come up).
>>6464512
You could make that mold 2 feet tall and it'd still look short because of the proportions. Tracks and Wheeljack were both sleek and sexy cars and the mold does them injustice.
>>6464443
Artfire is based. My favorite MP mold of all time.
Be careful with his legs, though. One anon here had the screw that holds his hip joint strip out, and his hip ratchets are pretty tough to move, so just be cautious not to use excessive strength and you should be fine.
>>6464519
Both of them are shockingly identical. It's just that one has six dudes going into it and the other's a gigantic motherfucker.
>>6464522
Tracks comes of as sleek, and I love his MP because it nails that look. Wheeljack, on the other hand, never really struck me as "sleek" in his bot mode. I think it's fine for him to be a bit stocky.
>>6464512
lol, it was unintentional, I had gen Jack on storage and forgot to pull the waist all the way down because it jams on mine, I even gave him Tracks shins to make him taller, but I like the cw chest prportions more, it cheats but looks way more like the cartoon model.
SOON
>>6464535
>but looks way more like the cartoon model.
Now, you have to understand that does not make it objectively better to some people.
I miss ten years ago when geewunners weren't so spoiled by accuracy-pandering that it was okay for Generations figures to be unique to their cartoon counterparts.
>>6464537
What is this about?
>>6464541
Hopefully, new reveals since they gave us nothing in Wonderfest.
>>6464240
Agreed, only picked him up when TRU was doing half-off-voyagers earlier this year, they were swimming in him too so wasn't hard to find
15 bucks max
>>6464366
I'm sure they're not cancelled, but postponed. Why? Timing. My guess is they took too long to get the first two out and now it's time to hype up POTP
>>6464577
They're not postponed, they're cancelled. Ultra Magnus was meant for the Intelligence box set and Scorponok the Fireblast one. Presumably Arcee would've come with a clone, a leader figure, and a voyager repaint.
>more dioramas of bayformer shit no one cares about

I'm desperate enough for a Devastator that I have been considering dropping $50 to buy that abomination.
>>6464603
Nah that was thirteen years ago. Ten years ago was all about "we can do something with these old designs but they don't need to be cereal boxes"
>>6464646
Nope, sold under the Classics banner.
>>6464646
It's funny how this mold is retroactively loved, but if it came out today, it would be ripped apart for being so different from G1 Prime.
>>6464479
I love that it's the Rescue Bots version of Blades that Scioli uses(which makes sense since this group calls itself the Rescuebots)
>>6464459
you should read Transformers vs GI Joe, it's the best comic for both franchises
>>6464496
not really that Defensor is a 7 bot combiner(8 if we count Peacemaker)
>>6464651
>retroactively loved
Even in 2007 people lamented the giant kibble arm chunks and lack of trailer.
>>6464648
>energon toy repaint
no one cares
>>6464603
I like it when combiners look somewhat disjointed but I can't justify to myself paying for an Energon figure.
Maybe if at some point in my life I can find this thing for like 10 dollars, it still has better proportions than Knee Wars Devastator.
>>6464648
I think it was quite obvious I was talking about the date of the mold, because if we include repaints the state of toyline in that era gets very skewed.
>>6464583
desu victorion isnt half bad. very good looking team. If you can go for megaempress or whatever the takara redeco is called.
>>6464663
Such a shame they didn't use that chance to bring Killer Punch from over seas.
>>6464663
>>6464667
You know, I kind of forgot this version of cruellock even existed and I kind of want it for the sheer fact that they made something so outlandish so drab.
>>6464583
Someone posted Optimus with Protectobot limbs a little while back. I thought it worked surprisingly well.
Legion Dragonstorm seems nice.
>>6464680
It was nice, but way to expensive, a shame since it did away with the clea plastic (but now they're white... you win some you lose some).
>>6464612
His power only grows if you praise him, Anon.
>>6464694
Jesus. How do we stop him? What makes him weaker? Do I say I liked Armada Tidal Wave and continue that Aaron Archer's deco ideas during the Energon line only served to improve it? Will that work?
So, anyone thought of a way to revive Beast Wars in some fashion, without covering stuff from the previous shows, or using the same animals?
>>6464651
>>6464655
It was always loved, but even when it first came out, peeps have lamented the arm kibble and lack of trailer. Oh, and the fact that back in those days, it was considered quite short for its size class.
Besides that, it's probably still the best official Voyager CHUG Prime to date. I guess the Combiner Wars one can replace it as that's more G1-ish.
>>6464702
Not really, the mold has too much Motormaster in it, the POTP one might be it if they don't fuck up the inner robot.
Anyone rember hunt for the decepticons line?
I know movie shit,but some of the none move figures I like axor and terradive being two that stand out to me. I think it's a mix of some of the movie mechanical mixed with a cartoonish look
>>6464697
>What makes him weaker?
Buying 3rd party figures, but only the garbage ones that no one in their right mind would buy, like KFC stuff, or Omnigonix. Official figures or anything good or G1 only adds to his might, which Hasbro execs utilize to stay young and in power, and also to remove plastic from the budget.
>>6464698
It depends what you mean by "revive Beast Wars". If the idea is to bring back beastformers, then animated would've eventually gotten there if a transformers show was allowed to last more than three seasons. If you're actually trying to bring the ideas back to the toyline, then Beast Wars in generations would be a good step (but the new Primal is pretty much all you're gonna be getting from Warden)
>>6464698
My idea was a bit based on the Japanese continuity (but still easy to adapt over here). The main Maximal cast have a Journey to the west motif, while the main Predacons are based on Legendary creatures. Show has the cast jumping from planet to planet.
Explanation for Beast modes is that on long journeys, they're more energy efficient, and allow them to use alternate sources for energy, allowing them to use Energon only when necessary.
>>6464710
don't forget the hot new company on the block: Traos Formerrs!
>>6464705
ROTF/HFTD/RTS still sticks out to me as one of the best eras for the toyline. The cheapening still hadn't happened, and they were so willing to try out bizarre new ideas like adaptations of the Animated characters or radical reinterpretations of characters like Banzaitron or Seaspray. I think the aesthetic of that time is why I'm so cool on the simplistic appearance of the modern generations, even when they're still doing clever stuff like Triggerhappy.
>>6464718
So what animals will Bulma and Yamcha be?
>>6464734
This isn't DB, anon. Anyway, beast modes and names are:
-Optimus Prime: Kirin
-Monking: Monkey, female
-Pit Boss: Pig
-FlyClops: Cyclops and Eagle
-Thunderhoof: Horse
Predacons:
-Gigatron: Chimera
-Darkwing + Buster: Hydra
-Drashell:Tarasque
-Megavolt: Pegasus (defects a few episodes in)-Windsheer: Crow, Tengu
>>6464767
>Monking
>King
>female
Quit Monqueen around, anon.
>>6464768
That's pretty much joke, the character likes the name, hates when someone alters it.
Anyway, main plot is that Optimus is next in line for sucession for Magnus, the highest Maximal rank, but he's not the councils pick so they decide to test him by assigning him recruits who fucked up massively so he has no chance of accomplishing his mission; to capture the Predacon Leader who's been missing after the war ended.
>>6464767
Isn't Journey to the West about a mischievous monkey man, a priest, a pig demon, and a desert bandit going to get a macguffin?
>>6464458

>Seriously though, how come we only ever got a Cliffjumper repaint in the first movie toyline? Seems like a no brainer.
Paramount apparently does not want any confusion and wants all Bumblebee toys to be him, and not other characters.
Finally got my Defensor today, motherfucker's a bitch to transform. Hot Spot's a cool figure but those ratchet joints on his legs are awful. Really, all of these guys are better off as cars, but they're good to decent in individual robot form.
For those that care, Amazon finally lowered Gnaw to an amount that's actually reasonable, so you may army build if you feel like it.
Seriously, Amazon was charging like 15-17 dollars for months.
>>6464767
>Monking: Monkey, female
Female Goku eh. I see what you're playing at anon.
>>6464523
I thought it was you that broke it because you post the figure every thread
Finally got my hands on Twinferno. Robot mode is better than expected even with the dragon-hands, but what's with his altmode's hips? I get how they're supposed to peg in but they refuse.
Also found Getaway, who's white.
>>6464898
>but what's with his altmode's hips?
Are you using the right port? the middle port?
>>6464898
They're hard as fuck to peg in is all. IIRC they peg into the center slot of the 3 slots.
Nevermind, just had to jam it in
>>6464458

I actually have a bunch of family comin over tomorrow, including a few nephews. I just finished setting up a display with most of my Marvel Legends and Combiner Wars figures for my younger nephew to play around with while I organized my Nerf arsenal so I can have a mini-war with my older nephews (the older ones being mid-late 20s). While I do have a lot of figures I won't let little kids play with, the majority of my collection is TFs and such which I have no problem getting played with.
Hey, guys. Need some help.
I'm trying to shop for some gifts for my old man, who collects Corvette merchandise, and would like to know which figures have a Corvette vehicle mode.
I already got him:
Masterpiece Tracks
Alternators Battle Ravage
Age of Extinction Crosshairs (All versions)
Am I missing any other good ones?
Also, unrelated, any good cheap Optimus figures? Seeing some of the posts here makes me want to get into the line.
Thanks!
>>6465051
>Also, unrelated, any good cheap Optimus figures?
Define "cheap". Theres literally Optimus' ranged from like $15 to over 1k depending on what kind of quality you're looking for.
>>6465051
Alternator Tracks, Binaltech yellow Tracks, and all the figures of Bayformers Sideswipe.
>>6464683
As long as he's better than Legion Drift.
>>6464705
Fuck yeah man i just got this Banzaitron and he is awesome. Got me thinking about getting more hftd.
