>decent god damn ratchets
>Spring up gimmicks I actually like
Kibble aside I love primus, it seems kinda a shame he's gonna just be in planet mode all of the time acting as a diorama, not bad for $50usd...shame I was forced to use ebay's global shipping program though but hay only one that was 95% complete (don't need manuals or boxes).

The other one was mp38 primal anime version
>fucking paint EVERYWHERE
>white scratch marks out of the box
>swords are painted purple for god knows whatever reason rather than purple plastic with gloss injection

I will say this, the sculpt is amazing, what he does is nice, its just a double edged sword with the choice of matte black, should have been GREY paint black plastic but that would take away the premium feel from him eh?

His transformation though takes more effort than expected, he ain't no mp sideswipe that's for sure, but I don't have him for it, its just kinda scary.

>>6464523
I wish I could get into my Artfire's hips to loosen those ratchets but his crotch-piece is held together entirely by glue and I'm not fucking with that.

I don't get why they'd put such strong spring in him when Inferno and Grapple's hips were perfectly fine.

>>6465071
Yeah, my b! Thinking between $20-$30 to start? Or is that too low for a decent one?
Maybe a Soundwave instead?
I don't really like the Bayformers design, if that helps.

>>6465072
Thank you so damn much. I can't believe I forgot about Sideswipe.
I really hope he likes all of these.

So apparently MP Ultra Magnus is getting a reissue

I'm not even sure if I want one anymore, I'm kind of happy with my LG Ultra Magnus

>>6465160
As an owner of both (well mine's cw because SALEZ) it depends on preference, the mp looks amazing, fucking big, carries presence, diecast in the right places as well as rubber tires, his articulation is however limited to him being a slave to g1 show accuracy and why he does all you expect him to do no oc crazy stuff.

The leader class mold meanwhile makes a better play piece with his go-go gadget arms, much more free acrticulation, can still work as a car carrier like the mp and unlike the mp and its "head plate" tribute to the white prime he comes with the mini dude alpha trion/minimus ambus that homages white prime as a separate piece.

MP works better as a display piece showing your bottomless wallet, the leader is simply more fun, but if you find yourself thinking too much about the mp you might as well, I had that problem, now I own mp delta magnus, then the cw, and then pounced on one from mandarake for cheap, a substitute for a desire doesn't always work

I'm so glad Hasbro decided to not push the movie line. Pushing a bunch of awful toys nobody cares about is a waste of money.

Rip in piss Bayformers.

>>6465218
A lot of the new figures were apparently good though, I've seen quite a few people enjoying them.

>>6465211
Its a shitty thing to use, BUT in g1 he was the same size as superion.

Really devastator was always going to be the oddball being the 6 man combiner who wasn't apart of the original 5 man "free combination" teams, least predaking works since his g1 toy was so big

>>6465209
Everyone called CW Devy a bunch of upscaled legends, but you don't see anyone downscaling it. I do like the idea of a Devy made out of legends scaled figures though, I wonder if I should get the KO Maketoys Giant.

TakaTomy's not-transformers Trains are so parts-formy, they should just do a 6-train Raiden already.

>>6465181
Topspin or Twintwist are pretty good if you can accept that their alt modes are essentially just hunks of random technology arranged vaguely into something jet-propelled.
For Legends class, I'd recommend Brawn and Seaspray. Brawn's got a good look to him even if you don't use his Titanmaster release to Pretenderfy him, and visible head aside, Seaspray is all around a cool representation of him. Im still kinda losing it over the fact that they gave him an arm tat referencing that one time he went to Atlantis.

I always liked that Omega Supreme seemed to be this dedicated Combiner killer dude.
He was as big and powerful as them, but since he was a lone robot he was also smarter than most of them, so he could stay a step ahead.

>>6465209
Imagine if they for some fucked up reason they released boxed sets colored after those actionmasters that are clearly meant to be solitary bodies for combiners, like a Bruticus set themed after Turbomaster.

>>6465271
It would be cool, but I don't think we'll ever get a full figure like Alpha Quintesson ever again. People would complain that it didn't transform, so they need to come up with an altmode first.

So I finally got this out of storage at my parents'.

When I first started collecting transformers as an adult this was one of the very first things I bought. UNFORTUNATELY I was brash, dumb college student who was really into the grungy aesthetic. So he's basically awful. Like there are some parts that done well but overall... bleh. Stripping the sealer and paint from the jingles and solid color parts will be easy but the other parts will be harder. I'm considering redoing him in actual Omega Supreme colors instead? Thoughts? Or you can just laugh at my shitty custom.

I did make his head separate into a little tank though and I still like that

I'd be happy with some statueshit or even a 3p design at this rate.

They're packing mp's with figures of the people, we almost have all of the human cast, NOW we need quintessons thrown in there

>>6465291
In all honesty I like what you've done as it brings him closer to the wfc standard he's supposed to be, I just hope that black wash you used is acrylic, if its enamel based I fear the strength of the plastic may have been affected.

But he would of crumbled apart by digging him out of storage if that's the case, anyway if you change your mind and are will to sell him for cheap let me know, I'd give him a home

>>6465150
>Yeah, my b! Thinking between $20-$30 to start? Or is that too low for a decent one?

Theres currently a $30 set on Amazon that gets you two Deluxe (around 6inch) figures, one of War For Cybertron Optimus, and one of Orion Pax (aka: Optimus before he became Optimus). Thats probably your best bet as both are good molds.

Theres also the TR Voyager (7 inch or so figure) triple changer Optimus thats an homage to Laser Rod Prime and has the gas tanker mode, but his plane form is pretty shit.

>>6465296
Yeah, just black acrylic. And WfC is definitely the cause behind it. Probably the only way I'd let him go is in a trade for a clean one of him, sorry.

From what I heard his transformation is almost as involved as stuff from the earlier movie lines. He does have a good range of motion on him overall though, he's got a surprisingly clean jet mode up top, and the toy hints that Cogman was supposed to be involved in the final fight by taking over Nitro's body.

I miss the generations line in terms of paint apps but when will hasbro and takara just sit down and do what we really need, and just make them ALL the same, like the tlk line?

MP's can *sorta* stay the same (and if hasbro imports them over they should just bring them as is, in Australia and asia they even get them in takara boxes and not rely on the hasbro boxed versions) but for the mainline they need to cut out the whole "variance", sure collectors might miss takara being so garish and hasbro's excuse of toy accuracy, but we wouldn't need to stalk japanese websites to pre-order our plastic crack if its the exact same stuff, now would we?

Oh well, back to collecting we go

I was going to turn one into a "de primed" optimus, but wanted to know of the size of head to use, and what size of joint the neck has, (ball joint maybe?

I like him, and I'm usually pretty picky about bland bots with no paint. I wasn't even going to get him, but he made a great companion piece to hot rod. He's also really fun to play with because of his size and chunkiness. It's like transforming a Tonka truck.

>I miss the generations line in terms of paint apps but when will hasbro and takara just sit down and do what we really need, and just make them ALL the same, like the tlk line?
Hasbro cannot or will not add needed paint details to retail figures. This is not a matter of slathering them in paint, it's simply things like ignoring hubcap and rear light details. Sometimes they do not even paint windows. Takara would not let that fly, and the amount of paint they use, even in minimal cases, is beyond Hasbro's budget/penny pinching.

>>6465438

Just bought two sealed Movie All Spark Fracture A.K.A Crasher off Ebay. I live in Canada and I'm importing them from the UK. Came at around 41$CAN each shipped.

I'm looking forward to receive her because I never had the Classic Mirage mold and I love Gobot's Crasher. So it's like finally having an updated version of her.

Why two you ask? To soak up the shipping cost. I'll open the uglier package and keep the other sealed. Unless someone local buy the extra from me for the price I paid.

Too bad there is no Reprolabels set available for her.

I don't buy this whole "in order to have a female body, it MUST be a shellformer" shit. Transformations are getting more and more complicated these days. Not in general, but single instances, which demonstrates the designer's abilities to do so.

Damnit I wish Kapow would hurry up and change the mp Lambros to preorders, not a fan of the this £1 deposit crap.

>>6465559

It depend of the budget of the figure. A standard 20$ deluxe will not be the same thing as a 100$ 3p/MP figure. There is also how to deal with the original designs who often as what is physically impossible to do.

Like TLK Knight Optimus. The bot look like a guy wearing a wetsuit with NO truck kibbles at all. How the fuck can you manage THAT without shellforming?

>>6465559
People here take any goddamn chance to kneejerk and say the slightest bulk in a place that's not the hips is too masculine for a fembot, so shellformer is essentially the only way that meets the impossible standards set here.

The MP designers are demonstrating that the original G1 designs aren't as "physically impossible" as people are thinking.

>>6465291

Shocker: although I am old and nearly dead, I like it like that. This guy should look industrial.

>>6465371

I like it. But, as said, I am old and nearly dead and remember as the day of yesterday seeing his G1 version and thinking "That's odd, he doesn't really look like the other Transformers".

...They don't have to transform. They just don't.

They're just... well, not action figures... but dammit, I want a fucking Quintesson!

My way is the only currently feasible way for them to exist.

>>6465582
The only fembot /tfg/ hasn't complained about looking too manly without being a shellformer or a motorcycle are MP Road Rage because the original mold was already using MP engineering to get a slim dude, so all they needed to do was remold the upper legs, and Strika because no one cares about Strika to begin with, and the few that do have accepted that the entire point is that she's fucking beefy.

>>6465593

He more likely than quite a lot of characters since he's based on Skids.

>>6465619
The tabs for linking TR base modes together are purple as well, so people who want to mess with that are in for quite a fucking ride when it starts to chip.
They could've done something like color the missile rack in his abdomen purple to justify the third sprue since it'd be part of the new Overlord-specific parts.

While we're talking about Crasher, is there an Ocular Max Sphinx version yet? I was out of the third-party scene for a bit and missed that figure. It looks great but I want an official Mirage (whenever that happens), but I'd love it as Crasher if I can.

>>6465646

I agree but it's only ¥1000 difference so I don't mind. Hopefully Nakano has it in-stock. Also, they had Mech Ideas Ironfist for ¥2000 (it's a used one - there's a new one for ¥3500 but fuck it), so I added that in too since I missed out on it (as well as Sakamoto's Prime book because fuck it) and I've only just finally read Last Stand of the Wreckers (and will begin For All Mankind soon because yes, I'm that far behind).

Yeah, if that MP-10 isn't in-stock when they check, I'm-a chuck something at the Japs.

I haven't actually got any MPs off of Mandarake before other than my Inferno but it was brand new. Had some paint chipping out of the box though (mainly due to some retard sticking the left shoulder into vehicle mode position while the paint was wet). Oh well.

>>6465671

Hey /tfg/ got some pics of my recent toy haul how did I do?

Orion Pax is a pickup truck who becomes a freight truck as Optimus Prime. Hot Rod is a sportscar who becomes a Winnebego as Rodimus Prime. Power of the Primes almost gave us an Ultra Magnus (probably a white Optimus who becomes a car carrier,) and it is giving us an Optimus Primal gorilla who becomes the mecha gorilla Optimal Optimus.

However, the PotP polls also suggested Arcee and Megatron as potential Matrix bearers. If that had happened, what would their toys have been like?

I bet Megatron would have been a silver tank who becomes a big green Armada tank, but I can't picture what could have possiblt attached to Arcee's vehicle mode.

I finally found a TR Cosmos. I didn't really like his darker green or microscopic autobot badge, though, so I swapped his unscratchable head and yellow forearms over to upgrade my old Cosmos. I really prefer the look of the painted head on the old one more, but this is just one instance where I can't ignore it, because it rubs off simply from the friction it takes for you to pull it out with your hands, even if you don't scrape the sides.

Still love this mold. One of my all time favorites.

Sure as hell are, I bought primus just for his planet mode, great for a diorama piece, a titan class of a planet I can't picture nor would I want, least for now.

Question though, I have a platinum unicron inbound, where the fuck do I get a stand for him, I can't find shit even using the name of the one emgo reviewed (all I could find and boy oh boy was I late to that party)

>>6465699

What did it take to swap it?

>>6465688
Id say enjoy it. Just enjoy Fast and Furious for being stupid action popcorn flicks to sell cars. I'd also suggest enjoying Marvel movies for being stupid action popcorn flicks to sell toys. And I'd most definitely suggest enjoying Transformer movies for being stupid action popcorn flicks. Macies don't have to be masterpieces for you to enjoy them, it's like how every now and then grabbing a McDonalds or a Take Away can hit the spot.

Atlwast we get some cool concepts and figures out of the moves.

>>6465695
Congrats, you got a Black Shadow with correctly assembled shoulders.

>>6465718
Just a small Phillip's head screwdriver. Just slide him apart at the waist and there are three screws on the underside of his upper-torso that you can remove and it will come apart.

>>6465697
I'm guessing Arcee would get either a mobile armory or a giant tarantula to reference that one blackarachnia repaint.

>>6465697
I thought of a few ways to make them work, but no idea on how they would have actually done it:

-Shockwave: Similar to his CW toy, his trailer is based on Energon Shockblast, forming the gun on it.
-Deathsaurus: Make his Breastforce animals combine into a robot
-Megatron: Huge purple tank, turret is actually a second grey/silver tank. Either Megatron compacts into Galvatrons chest, or he transforms into his Cannon.
-Hound: No fucking idea.
-Arcee: Probably a bigger version of herself like Hot Rod, so she'd have a mobile home or something.

>>6465691
Oh, I usually do too, but Sahara didn't have MP-10! Oh well. The other Mandarake stores have treated me pretty well too though. I recently got a brand new Armada Super Convoy from Complex, I believe it was, and holy crap was that fun. I felt like a stupid child again. Yeah, it's a brick, but I don't care. So are G1 toys.

>>6465693
I legitimately like this idea. No worries about spoilers.

>>6465697

Arcee I feel would probably turn into some kind of spacecraft maybe. Her normal car form almost looks like some kind of sleek 80's spacecraft anyway. Just give her bigass jet intake pauldrons or something.

>>6465722
Oh, I agree, but it's hard at the same time.
I loved TLK (no, it's not a great movie, but I enjoyed it) and AOE, but they're so horribly flawed, and as someone who works for a small film studio who works on budgets, I'm so conscientious about what we spend on what, so seeing the Transformers movies as giant clusterfucks can be irritating...

But I can never stop grinning at those movies. The part where Optimus scans a new alt mode in AOE? Big-ass grin on my face. Grown man, sitting in the theatre by himself, just grinning endlessly because Transformers.

I agree on all points. I don't like the badge being center of what is presumably the main windshield of the craft. It looks odd. Also, the visor looks neater.

He comes in a couple of months, you'll have more than enough time to save money, but yeah, collecting toys can get expensive easily.

>>6465869
The problem is that it's the hinge, not the joint. Would it still work though?

>>6465931
>>6465931
It depends, if you can wedge something there (a toothpick, or exacto) then drip it in slowly and make sure it stays around that area, it could work.

The other method is to use some string and use it around the wedge (if possible). Had to do that on Sky Shadow since the future method didn't work on his shoulder.

because they know bayformerfags are delusional enough to buy them anyway.

>>6465938
You aren't missing anything, the better molds are getting improved upscaled KOs for the same price and the rest are repaints of shitty AoE molds that you should avoid anyway.

I also know how the movie lines always go.

>shit versions come out first
>later on better painted/retooled versions come out thata re better in every way

Anybody who buys the first waves of movie toys is a fool. I basically just want Barricade and Hound, and theres sure to be better offical versions out at some point, and even those cool KO versions Ive seen floating around that come out soon.

>>6465931
Yes. I'm telling you mine had the same exact problem. Many of the early Cosmos figures did. The way the arm joint is set within the torso, it still creates friction against the plastic surrounding the hinge. It'll work.

>>6465368
Picked one up while I was in Louisiana the other day and saw 2 Primes in AL yesterday. I didn't think they'd show up this soon.

>>6465722
The difference is that FF movies and Marvel movies are actually enjoyable while TF movies are trash.

I go for robot action and instead I get cringe bay jokes and shitty editing.

>I go for robot action and instead I get cringe bay jokes and shitty editing.

>>6465969
This. You can say what you want about the Bayshit films, but they're pretty unique and have gorgeous special effects work and cinematography.

And it's hard to take the criticisms of them seriously because 75% of it is "NOT MUH GEEWUN!"

>>6465976
An Amazon seller had Trypticon at 100 on July 31 for 100, and since Amazon was starting to sell it at that point it was also at that price but they sold out in 20 minutes. It was a mistake since it doesn't show up in CamelCamelCamel.

>>6465977
>but they're pretty unique and have gorgeous special effects work and cinematography.

Except when compared to each other. Every scene in one TF movie can be seen in every other TF movie. Bay can only do one type of scene and he does it over and over again. It's flash and spectacular, yes, but by no means are they unique when you can see them in every other Bayformer film.

>>6465977
The "not muh geewun" critics have died out in 2007.
The real criticism is that the movies are pretty much garbage overall. My personal gripe is that the story STILL focus on the damn human rather than the bots.

Give me a fully animated Bay movie where the action is in space or Cybertron, NO HUMANS. With actual character development on the bots. THAT would be something.

>>6465983
>Except when compared to each other. Every scene in one TF movie can be seen in every other TF movie
This can be said about literally every film franchise.

>>6465985
I agree, but I gave up long ago on getting any kind of meaninful, bot-focused development out of these movies. They're garbage if you're hoping for that, but as mindless trash, action movies, they are second to none.

No. The jokes in the MCU movies are actually good. And the action is more balanced throughout the movie. In TF movies it's like I get 2 minutes of action for every 20 minutes of shitty Bay jokes and human characters.

Woah it's Grimlock! Lol nah let's have him roll on a car and then fuck off for the rest of the movie

Hey look at these random Decepticons we spent 5 minutes doing a cringe Suicide Squad style intro for! Look at them get killed in 5 seconds effortlessly by all the Autobots!

Bumblebee vs Barricade? Bumblebee shoots him for 2 seconds and then Barricade fucks off for the rest of the movie

Oh cool, Nemesis Prime vs Bumblebee? Only lasts 2 minutes and Optimus turns back in the most half assed way ever

Final battle on Cybertron? Nope let's see IZZY AND SQUEEKS HIJINKS BECAUSE THEY DID NOTHING FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE LOL

Optimus vs Megatron? Lol nah let's just have Megatron lose in 2 seconds and get kicked out of the planet

You thought the last knight was going to be a Transformer? Nah it's just Marky Mark, and all that build up was just so he gets a sword in exactly 1 scene to save Optimus only to not use the sword ever for the rest of the movie

>>6465977
but they're pretty unique
Unique in how bad they are? You've got that right.

>And it's hard to take the criticisms of them seriously because 75% of it is "NOT MUH GEEWUN!"
No, it's more like 90% of the criticisms are "this is a shitty movie with crappy action, bad editing, shitty pointless characters, and incoherent plot." And they're absolutely right. Keep strawmanning all the arguments into just geewun complaints though if it helps you sleep at night.

>>6466002

What are you trying to accomplish with this?

>>6465305
Thanks for the tips. I think I'll go ahead and pick up the Titans Return version. He looks cool and I like the shoulders quite a bit.

Also saw the Soundwave Titans Return figure? Pretty decent?

>>6466024
Yes. Because they're quips and not 10 minute long scenes about Stanley Tucci being drunk while talking to a robot hundreds of years before the fucking plot of the movie.

>>6466033

The mold itself is good, but Blaster is a better use of it. Soundwave's helmet is a bit too high sitting on the titanmaster so he looks, for lack of a better word, "surprised". Also the gold paint on the chest clear plastic is exceptionally shitty and flakes off very easily.

tl;dr "Get Blaster if you want the mold"

>>6466033

Oh, also, depending on your budget, theres a voyager sized KO of the MP-10 Optimus by Kubianbao. ebay KBBMP-10V. It's pretty good.

>>6466029
You should've let it at the chrome and then start planning for applying small details so it doesn't just look like Zack Snyder's Silver Surfer.

This month's Transformers haul. Picked up TR Misfire, Windblade, and TLK Infernocus. Misfire is a definite step down from Triggerhappy, and Windblade's alright. I never had the original Abominus version of the mold, so I'm glad to finally have one

No stress marks. Even right out of the box the right foot untabs with the slightest movement. Saw this problem in a video too. Gonna try a thin layer of clear nail polish once I find where my wife hid it this time.

The OS KO finally got here. And I managed to get the original red version. Today is such a good day.

With shipping it came to only $34. That's less than how much I would've paid if I got the voyager and the legion toys to do the combo cannon thing (which I was tempted to do).

It's not perfect, but the price-to-value ratio is so much better than the voyager (which I only saw ONCE at Walmart any way) that it'd be silly for me to complain.

>>6466157
How'd you get it for $34? Used?

>>6466166
I ended up ordering from taobao. Initially was going to get it from TFDirect, but I heard they only had the version with the red-gradient sword.

I was pretty much determined to just get the regular Hasbro version. but I heard they were releasing a third batch with the sword fully painted in gray. I still wanted the red one but I figured I still preferred full gray over that gradient thing they were doing. When I tried to find it on taobao, I managed to find a store that wasn't selling the red version for a hefty mark-up.

The price on TFDirect is fair though. This thing's pretty massive and I'm sure shipping it domestically in the US would cost more than the $10 difference.

>>6466157
It's a shame that version instantly became impossible to find. Accuracyfags ruin everything.

Finding a Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper is fucking crazy. Why did they think it was a good idea to sell these dudes separately? Gigant Bomb starts at 60, and Smokesniper barely shows up anywhere.

How many TMs can Sixshot accommodate in any of his alt modes? I kinda want a battle wagon for my cons.

>>6465947
>>6465937
Cool, thanks. I'll keep an eye out.

So, Voyager TLK Megatron's sword appears to be trans red plastic painted over.

Who is a bad enough dude to strip the paint off the sword?

>>6466205
In his car mode, he can have 3 riding him, not counting the one inside the helmet. You can have 3 on the tank mode if you lift the foot pieces but they don't have dedicated positions.

And do NOT roll him in his tank mode since his chest touches the ground no matter what I've done. This is even worse with Quickswitch since his chest is painted grey.

Cool. Makes sense. They made the cockpit transparent so they had to use it somewhere else too. I guess the KO companies knew this and decided to skip out the paint on the sword initially.

>>6466232
Anyone want to post toys that could have gotten V2's in TR? You know, not the obvious choices like the Horrorcons, HM Jr's, or Armada Sideways.

>>6466176
I got the red chest version too. Is it rare or something? Is it a runnimg change?

>>6466222
Don't forget Scorn and Snarl.
The Dinobots were the best part about the line but they all differed greatly on quality and design. Slash and Slug were just weird, Grimlock and Slog were mediocre, and the Leader Grimlock was complete garbage.

>>6466222
Drift and Grimlock, too

>>6466235
First batch: red chest/red sword
Second batch: silver chest, red/gray gradient sword
Third batch: gray chest/gray sword

Most western resellers seem to only have the 2nd batch in stock atm.

>>6466241
Rumour is there is going to be another version with a head like the leader.

Unrelatedly, any chance Takera would do a battle mask version of Voyager Megatron?

There is no Takara version of TLK toys. It's just the same box with an extra sticker on it.

Weijiang's making a clean version of Squeeks btw. I'm still gonna wait for reviews before deciding if I want it or not. It's oversized so I'm not really sure what figures would scale with the bike mode, which is gonna be a big part of my decision. The original deluxe can be ridden by standard sized figures I believe.

>>6466249
>There is no Takara version of TLK toys. It's just the same box with an extra sticker on it.

Shame. I wanted the new BUmblebee deluxe but the colors on him are nasty.

>>6466253
Snarl worked; just like HFTD Highbrow, the wrists are fine but they look broken because of the angle at which the kibble settles on the forearms.
Still, AOE was such a terrible toyline for a just decent figure covered in transparent plastic and full of holes to be one of the best.

>>6466261
I think that's also the mold used in the Bee evolution 3-pack. MAYBE it's better painted there.
