How do I into display case lighting, /tfg/? Tomorrow I will finally be moving my collection from the slumber of cardboard boxes to some proper black Billy bookcases with Morliden glass doors and I would totally love to have them adorned with some LED lights on each of the 40 or so shelves. What are the best ones for the effect, both in terms of practicability when installing and cost-wise considering how much I'll have to light up? Will I have to cut up holes and install a bunch of electricity extensions and stuff for everything to work together?

I would ideally love something like pic related, although it does look like a fairly expensive and complicated setup.

>>6489873
Just accumulate a shit ton of jetfire and then a natural aura will surround them. Pretty easy desu

>>6489875
If you're already at Ikea getting bookcases they have a bunch of lighting options available pretty cheap. I can't really speak for the quality tho since I've never used them.

>>6489885
Yes, but aren't they all DIY? As in, you have to actually cut holes inside the shelves and stuff, right? :/

>>6489872
One of those threads doesn't actually fix the shoulder as much as it completely changes how the elbow works, any other no longer has photos

I wonder how the new Swoop will look? I've always been a fan of the Animated one.

>>6489903
The G1 toy but less shiny and better articulated.

>>6489903
All three Animated dinobots are pretty solid desu, they're a great team to have together. Totally worth getting now that TFA stuff is deprecating to absurd levels.

>>6489911
I skipped the other two but regret it in retrospect.
Animated stuff seems to be breaking left and right in my collection though, Shockwave Bumblebee and Swindle have all had hinges and balljoints crack in the last couple years.

Oh boy, TFA figures are awesome, I know their designs don't ring as well with everyone but imho, they translate really well to toy form. The robots are just so sleek and expressive, it's a really gorgeous and possibly soon underrated collection to have.

>>6489913
Ugh I wanted to collect them later in, but my Soundwave suffered from horribly gooey roof paint. Some compounds just started breaking down.

What do you use to make 5mm posts for customs? For example, to make Barricade's backpack into a carryable shield or to adapt two female ports?

3p companies make weapon upgrade sets.

What if I make my own but instead of weapons, I make dicks? Transformable dicks that turn into weapons. For combiner teams, the component bot dicks also combine into a huge dick for the combiner.

Would there be enough demand for it?

>>6489986
Get a drill.

>>6489955
Grimlock has limited arm articulation, he needs at least a swivel over the elbow.

never liked the designs but the toys used nice materials and were over all well constructed, but some missed on articullation.

>>6489955
Yeah, they're just so great and show accurate, with only as much detail as they need.

Tamiya sells 5mm styrene pipes and rods in white and clear plastic. They fit most 5mm ports but may require some pledge/tightening for some.

The I.D. of the pipes are 3mm btw, the next most common dimension HasTak uses for transformers.

Someone's already doing this for Polynian's. Go check that thread. Pic possibly related.

So /tfg/, I trust your judgement on these things.

I really kind of want to get Superion, but I'm not sure how to approach him. There's a Unite Warriors version going for 156 burgerbucks, but I can get the hasbro version for 99 burgers.

If I go with UW, I get good colors and the collector coin, if I go with Hasbro I get flamboyant colors, the coin, and Air Raid.

Is the figure worth 156 bucks at ALL, let alone for good colors and no air raid?

>>6490037
>Shipping: $85
Whoa, fuck, didn't notice that.

Okay so every other UW I've found is more like 250 bucks anyway, so that changes things.

I wish the toy designers and show makers worked together more often. I love the engineering on Animated toys but I've just never been a fan of the Wyatt style. Sadly, he seems to have been the most passionate man to work on the series just looking at his twitter and the fact that animated had two art books.

If they can't work together, why doesn't Hasbro make the toys first then have the show runners animate them? The movies have shown just how insane the workload can get when you leave studios free to make whatever they want regardless of source material history and intent. That and IDW and RiD15 have ugly looking bots because of how little they look they change into anything.

>>6490037
>>6490038
No, Superion is not worth $250.

You know what we need? A female tank transformer that isn't Strika. I had an idea for a character called Ironsides who turns into a WW2 Panzer and wears most of her tank kibble as an armoured trench coat, though in fairness I have no idea how a toy of that concept could transform and not suck.

If I were doing a custom of her (just using the basic principle of "female tank Transformer" not factoring in the Wehrmacht uniform idea) what would be a good mold to use? I considered 2007 Brawl as he has a fairly "alien" physique and fairly wide hips, so he could possibly pass as a heavily armoured female with a new head. Yes I know you have to mod the shoulder for him to not suck but I can get him cheap.

>>6490037
Well you could probably get the Hasbro G2 boxset for 60 burgers.

>Air Raid
You mean Quickslinger, the repainted "Exclusive"? He's not that "Exclusive" in some places so it's worth searching around first

Nah. I bought it and it's amazing. The black paintjob is one of the best I've ever seen on a transformer, back in a time where people weren't so autistically triggered by paint. The eyes are red, but they have the same issue MP-10 does. It's really easy to disassemble the head and put a coat of paint over them. It's really the only flaw on an otherwise excellent figure.

Sounds like a good concept though.

>>6490037
>>6490038
I would say Superion is worth 100 Burger Stamps if and only if he includes all five limbs and Silverbolt complete. The UW does have better colors, but I don't think they're as polarizing as others like Bruticus or Defensor. The thing about CW figures is they are really basic, so you have to want them for their combining ability. If you are like me and are a sucker for Combiners, then Superion is one of the most worthwhile to seek out, though not for more than $150. If the regular figures have to be really good too, then you might wanna hold off.

>Air raid.
You are confusing him with Slingshot ( CW Quickslinger) but if you get the G2 set hes included, also you'd get a G2 Powerglide in the box.

>>6490045
It's because the most popular and successful Transformers series is G1 and Hasbro's policy on toy-show parity for that was
>fuck it

Finally caved on an astrotrain because it was only 12 dollarydoos but missing it's chairgun. Everything on him is pretty floppy except his head port which is ungodly tight. Gonna have to try and tighten all these joints. Maybe have a go at de-headmastering him,

>>6490055
Yeah, though she's not meant to be a /pol/ stereotype. I had her in mind as a cowardly, sycophantic bully with a very bad German accent. I also imagined her as sounding like Tiffany Grant.

The head has both option built in, just lift the face and rotate it, both this and >>6490063
have the PE head.

Okay, cool.

Now to find one that isn't sold out.

>>6490063
I never did like those PE sets. The guns don't look that great, the hands on the early ones look like garbage and the feet were way too big for my liking. The feet on a bot really shouldn't be just as big as it's shins.

>>6490082
A big bot does need big feet, though, especially when his leg joint ratchets are garbage.

>>6490085
Eh I never had any problems with my superion's legs. Honestly their footprint isn't even that big a problem it's mostly how fucking thick they are. Holy shit it's like they're RDJ's shoes or something

>>6490082
Yeah the first hands were awful, I got all repaints from the second version (15 usd KOs from Taiwan), the second hands are pretty nice, the feet might look huge depending on who you use as legs, bots like the helicopters and Groove, but they look fine for most, look at Brawl and Swindle there.

It's translucent plastic with a chrome backing that's meant to make them really reflective (you see what it's supposed to look like in this pic), but not enough light actually gets in the head to make the effect work.

MP Soundwave does the same thing but it works much better.

For fuck's sake, Canadian TrU is selling leader movie figures at 75$CAN PLUS taxes. That's 15 or 20$ more than the older ones sold for.
Sure, adding electronics give restrictions to the figure's design, but it was a staple of the Leader class. Unlique the voyagers or deluxes, the Leaders really got the shaft starting AoE.

your problem begins here, should have used white ones, if at all.
also BILLY's shelf floors are made of wood, while the one from your pic has glass floors so you'd have to put light into each individual shelf unit.
you can see the problem in your 2nd pic
>>6489875
2nd and 3rd unit from the top down are pretty dark because the shelf floors are made of wood while all the rest are made of glass.
You should have gone for some other glass cases, you know they actually have them (DETOLF, FABRIKÖR), do you?
Both of those have glass floors and the back walls are made of glass as well so it offers the option to put the light units at the back without having to make holes into the cases (which would be very impractical).
FABRIKÖR is pretty pricey, but DETOLF offers a good bang for your bucks (double the price of a BILLY with around half as much room).

>your problem begins here, should have used white ones, if at all
Nah m8, I've taken enough time to compare all sorts of colors and black is certainly what better resonates with my room. I think this was also discussed in another thread but, even though they're obviously better in terms of lighting, there's just something about a white case that looks way too bland and industrial, whereas a color like black or brown can easily blend in with the rest of the decor. Pic related is a good example of black Billy's as a collection display, also using Morliden glass doors.

>the one from your pic has glass floors so you'd have to put light into each individual shelf unit
I did notice that, but the thing is, there are also plenty of pics of Billy's with glass floors (like this one, for instance). Since you seem to know your IKEA stuff, do you have any idea about what kind of glass shelves are these? Also, judging by most pics, putting lights into each individual opaque shelf often looks a little fancier than just having an overhead one, even if it's also more expensive. I wouldn't mind spending extra buckos for that, my main issue here is how complicated this would be to set up.

>you should have gone for some other glass cases, you know they actually have them (DETOLF, FABRIKÖR), do you?
I do have a pair of Detolfs around my storage, actually. They're fine for displaying large solo stuff like MPs and city bots but they're also tiny in terms of space and apparently, you have to modify them to add extra floors. I have about ~500 TFs I want to display without looking like a clusterfuck, so getting three large Billy's plus an extra corner one felt like a better investment in that regard.

Is there a lamer subseries in the history of Transformers than the BW Mutants? They're literally animals that turn into different animals... and that's about it, and for some reason it triggers me more than it should. It almost feels like having an incomplete figure that's missing an entire robot mode for some fuck all reason.

>>6490757

I did try to pull on the other one but it's really stuck there, like glued in or something. Plus, I need to show the defect to the clerk and this crap will (should) be returned to Hasbro.

By the way, have a comparison between the '07 leader Megs and the TLK one.
'07 was a bitch to transform because his shit is not easy to figure out.

>>6490760
people always vote for the most boring possible option in these fan votes.

>DUDE LET'S MAKE THE NEXT PRIME OPTIMUS PRIME BUT THE FURRY VERSION LMAO

>>6490760
At least it's something different from the original. Classic Optimus Primal combining with his Transmetal 2 body.

>>6490788
Still annoying that he already has an MP that most fans of Beast Wars have probably bought

I really don't see the appeal of CG Niggerlip robots turning into otherkin animals

>>6490763
Poison Bite is pretty rad though.

I'm thinking of buying both Titans Windblade and RID Bludgeon, but which one should I pick up first?

>>6490801
Windblade since you shouldn't be buying RID shit in the first place

>>6490801
Depends on what ya prefer, but Windblade's a pretty good figure. She's fun to pose and one of the few female Transformers out there.

>>6490816
what's with the RID stigma? It's better than Beast Wars and Animated in terms of designs but I see those get praise here.

>>6490752
Well, after transforming TLK Megs a few times back and forth, I can officially say that I HATE him.

The plastic feel SO cheap, like some bad KO. Also, kibble and bits that fly off everywhere when transforming that constantly need to be put back in. The arm canon gimmick is a minor annoyance too.

But the overall quality is so horrible, I just can't forgive that toy. ESPECIALLY FOR THAT PRICE.

So I'm not exchanging him for another one at TrU. I'll be asking for a FULL REFUND and with the money, I'll just buy TR Leader Overlord at Walmart.

I'll give that leader another chance only if I find him at 20$ at Winners.
Screw you, cheapo TLK Leader Megs.

>>6490822
>It's better than Beast Wars and Animated in terms of designs

You can't be serious.

>>6490045
>why doesn't Hasbro make the toys first then have the show runners animate them

Because coordinating everything is a challenge. Hasbro works a year or a year and a half in advance for their generations line. Animation from planning to broadcast is sometimes much longer than that. They would not only have to coordinate with retailers/broadcasters/animation studios/hasbro internal. It becomes much more a challenge especially now where Transformers is one of their biggest lines and there is interference from various other people within Hasbro as the disaster involving TFP demonstrates where most of the tf design team for T30 were laid off because of the bad sales for PRID.

>>6490279
well all right, 500 TFs is a lot to display. guess you'll have to go with the BILLYs after all.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50286750/
Try these. I wasn't actually aware they offer extra BILLY shelves made of glass.
And if you haven't actually ordered/picked them up yet then maybe ask at your local IKEA if you can strike a deal with them, getting the glass floors instead of the regular ones with just a bit of extra cost because buying them extra leaves you with a lot of additional cost and a lot of wasted regular bottoms.
I bought my BILLY years ago, but they had that modular system back then for the big stuff, instead of picking it into your cart from the store (like you do with smaller stuff) you get a receipt at the check-out, then pick it up from their hand-out-store behind the cashiers and they matched all the extras you asked for with your order to pick it up. that should theoretically be possible.
Each IKEA store has a local site you can get to from their main site, they should have a contact email there, ask them for that deal.

>>6490763
Has anyone ever done a custom paint job to Razorclaw to make is wolverine mode look less shit?

Also is it possible to petition Hasbro to make the Halloween horrorcon sets real?

>>6490840
Kids didn't think they were lame, only collecters years later did. I bought tons of them when they came out. They kinda reminded me of a cross between Transformers and GI Joe. My cousin and brother ended up breaking all of mine.

Ok TFG, let's do something fun. How many transformers have you gotten with QC issues? And I don't mean floppy joints, I mean stuff like missing pieces, paint not being applied or a ton of paint used in areas it shouldn't be applied, broken right out of package and the like.

>>6490909
0. Even my Titans Return Blitzwing was actually better than normal since didn't have issues with the head clearance, only the shoulders which was a consistent design flaw.

>>6490909

There's an old Windblade new in box sitting at a comic shop near me for $15. I passed on her when I looked at her. She looks sorta dated and the figure just didn't look that attractive to me. The TR version is easily the best.

Henkei Optimus Prime. Pic related. Traded it away last year.

TR Triggerhappy. Two right sled gun in package, making them impossible to combine. Hasbro sent me a random TR Twinferno to compensate and I kept Triggerhappy.

TR Windblade, two left thighs. I tried repairing her but ended up just exchanging her for another one at TrU.

And finally, TLK Leader Megatron, missing a tailfin. >>6490752

Shouldn't it be NYUGEN'd?

>>6490909
I'm just going to list them off:

-T30 Roadbuster's visor was broken, the inner piece for his feet was also fucked since they used two left pieces for both of them.
-Beast Wars TM Megatron, you know why.
-T30 Blitzwing had a destroyed head a few days after getting him, the whole helmet just fell to pieces.
-T30 Springer's looked like it was melting due to how the paint was applied.
-TM Sawback had two left arms
-TR Perceptor's TM had a broken arm right out of package
-ROTF Bludgeon's tread issues
-Skids with the hip issue but that was easy to fix
-Universe Sunstreaker had a broken ear

>>6490362
It's still upside-down, and it barely holds together in this configuration.

>>6490936
That Beast Wars Megatron could have great as one of Hasbro's Year of releases. The colors are already good enough for China, and they get to release a mold people like in not shit colors.

>>6490942
Forgot, my Titan Trypticon's tail broke, the + was grinded so now it just goes up and down with nothing stopping it.

>>6490936
Eh, I think they botched the two-toning of the reds, they looked too similar. I think I still like Deathsaurus the most out of the four.

>>6490801
Bludgeon is the better character and has the girlier toy, get Bludgeon. RID being bad is a meme, it's about the same in terms of quality and complexity as current Generations figures.

I seem to have been more lucky than some other anons here.

1. ROTF Rollbar, 2 left forearms. Kept because it doesn't affect transformation any and I kind of felt bad for him, he'd already been returned at least once, maybe multiple times by the condition of the box. I didn't catch it through the window because of said condition.
2. TR Brainstorm. Missing right landing gear wheel. Kept, moved front gear to right for symmetry reasons.
3. Both ROTF Leader Primes I have. The paint between the left and right cab halves isn't even close to matching in hue on either figure.
4. MPM-03 Bumblebee. Right wing assembly missing a screw (was never even installed, hole was untapped by threads) and the subsequent pin was driven fucky, wrecking the hinge attaching it to the body. Kept, repaired successfully.
5. MPM-04. It's the typical MPM-04 shitshow. Kept, modified successfully.
6. Human Alliance Jazz. Overtight peghole on Joshy broke off driver's side peg on first use.

You could argue action masters because the main figures don't actually transform, heck the 3A figures even more so since their accessories don't transform. There has been arguments over the Bay robots, even though their alt modes are based on real cars and thus better than fictional piles of parts. There is a lot for each catagory for the best and worst between each series

I don't have the Hasbro one to compare (because I've never seen it at Walmart/Target), but this one feels decent.

Sqweeks has some terribly designed transformation steps though. There are places where you HAVE to flex the plastic, and I hate that shit. I believe the oversized KO is slightly better in that the bike light is properly attached whereas the retail release one falls off (according to wiki entry), however, you still gotta flex the plastic, and there's little you can do besides shaving off some tabs on the bottom, which will help but not solve the problem entirely.

TL:DR Quality good, but be careful any way.

Hey guys, so I bought an Animated Blurr at a flea market today but he's missing the gun/shield thing. Anybody got a junker they'd be willing to send my way? Or maybe just the weapon itself?

My first CW Rook bought off WalMart's website, one of his legs wouldn't tab in properly in vehicle mode
Took him to the local WM to exchange, cause I knew they had one there
The lady almost didn't let me do the exchange cause I didn't bring the "online receipt" ("how many times I do have to tell you guys"), but did anyways

The replacement one was perfect, shoulders are a bit loose from being played with a lot, but we all know how to fix that

>>6490909
Not counting the whole of MPM4, my only TF with a QC issue is my UW Scattershot, which came with two left heels. I just shaved down the one of the right foot though and it works just fine now.

Also I don't really count it, but my MP Optimus Primal has off-center eyes on his screaming gorilla face that make him look retarded. I don't count it as a QC issue though because I really like it

This is something I didn't even notice for the longest time, but apparently Windblade's supposed to have an Autobot symbol on the black bit on her chest. Mine didn't.

Also one of my Hot Spot's gun's pegs looks like it was melted or something and it can't fit into anything.

>>6490909
CW leader ultra magnus with a malformed leg part. The part where the guns should attach in truck mode.

Generations windblade with the pin punched at an angle. Had to repair this.

Generations scourge with a broken beard. Had it replaced.

TR Sixshot with a broken screw mount which caused the lower leg to be loose.

>>6491380
I'd call it a plus to be honest. Red tampos on black plastic look awful

>>6490909
I don't know about count but easily the worst was generations Roadbuster, who was just absolutely fucked. Basically any of the mushroom joints (like where the arm connects to the shoulder) were covered in these giant uneven bumps that literally made it impossible to move and totally stuck. I had to try and push them out despite that and then to actually get it to work I had to literally shave the entire joint down with a knife.

Anyone here watches the RID cartoon?

Was it explained how soundwave turned from a thin jet to a thicc car? The only youtube videos of the show I found showed soundwave as a jet, just like in the TF Prime cartoon years ago.

>>6491389
He's coming back in the latest season, I'm assuming he got a new alt mode since getting sent back to the shadow realm. They're doing the same to him that they did with Starscream. Give him a G1 throwback look with some nods to their Prime design.

Perhaps, only a crummy BW version.

>>6490909
My first RID Strongarm had a melted back half of her foot. I had a Universe Jazz missing a wheel right off the card.

I'd say I've just been lucky but I have bought very little Hasbro since 2014 so it's actually a pretty decent defect rate.

It does enough for what it is, you don't expect a tank to do acrobatic shit like a skinnier man could do.

But the cw only does more because its an outright toy, if you want a play piece th cw is better but in terms of looks and overall engineering the mp is better, that said I got my mp delta for just a bit more than a leader class brand new day one, and couldn't be happier

>mp takara ramjet
missing shoulder section originally intended for mp11 cape which means I can see the ratchet assembly, section of the wings are installed in reverse which is a minor cosmetic issue but still causes them to go *CRACK* when folding them, and his nose is chipped, got lucky compared to more serious issues, kept him because hard to find a good one cheap
>mp hasbro bluestreak
I had to go through an ENTIRE TRU'S inventory to find one that didn't look like a child went over his car mode silver with a free hand brush, jesus fuck some copies couldn't even transform because of how much paint was abused, current copy was tolerable
>mp hasbro starscream
out of all my mp11 based molds this one requires me to FORCEFULLY pry his chest apart just to bring the cockpit down into his chest, kept because last one in my whole state, apparently
>mp takara hot rodimus
while people complain the chest panel roll clearance may/may not be an issue it is for me and the chrome from his exhaust pipes are fucking gone, gonna fix that myself
>cw skylynx
the rear leg ratchet issue, fixed it myself
>tr scourge
head bobble which would have the head not even hold in the socket, despite owning the platinum edition molds and the legends, I bought 2 and fixed the necks myself
>generations blitzwing
Doesn't bother me but the chest tab is a thing

AND ONE WIN
>tlk barricade
got one of tlk slash's axes stuck inside the box, after all this qc bullshit I got a win out of it

Not counting many floppy joints that are useless (tr broadside, despite an attempt to repaint the deck and fix the leg its still shit so gonna go legends is one example) or ko's I got without knowing (fucking mp lambor based molds are russian roulette, sometimes they're better than the rear deal others they're shit) or figures I knew were damaged (mp ultra magnus with a stain on his shin and mp smokescreen with a chipped bumper)

Why am I still collecting though after all of this?

During its good days premium collectables did the deed, free shipping because over $100aud, I say a bit more than a leader because aus retail fluctuates, most I ever saw a leader for here was $120aud, delta magnus was $150aud iirc, oddly the reissue pc had of ultra magnus was $200aud.

Problem is all the savings I had with them are gone because I'm waiting on stuff from last year, with lg ginrai and mp primal to name but a small selection.

So in short what seemed like a great idea in the end cost me more

2. What tools do you use?
3. How'd you get so good at drawing cute anime girls out of robots? What's your process there?
