Let's put all the stupid arguing aside and have a fun thread. What Transformers designs do you want to see toys made out of?

I'd still fucking love anything based on Super Megatron. MMC is kind of going for that vibe but they don't really succeed with it.

>>6496962
Just give me a non-stylized Animated Megatron, man. But I wouldn't complain if they go all the way and do Super Megatron, either.

>>6497133

Non-shit version* lol.

>>6497133
It always annoyed me they retconned that attitude almost immediately after the ation series ended. They actually make a point that Megatron boasting and his mania was mostly due to the Ultra Energon in his system, but then he's ALWAYS like that in the past, and present.

Just got my shipping notice for Origin Leonidas, better late than never I guess.

The Japanese reviews have left me completely gutted, however. The paint on the final product looks nothing like the promos, and I was really hyped for metallic reds and not ass matte burgundy. Fingers crossed it's not a fragile mess in addition to being ugly.

>>6496928

>>6496936
Doesn't look like it has one but seeing how they managed to make such a small sized car transform into such a big sized robot, I'll forgive UT.

>>6496962
>MMC is kind of going for that vibe but they don't really succeed with it.

I guess his "jet" mode almost could be a reference to that, but the robot mode is pure current IDW. Also I just don't think that'd sell, given MT apparently can't even shove out a Starscream thats not balls deep into G1 or IDW.

I know IF stuff gets a lot of love here, but almost no one talks about this guy. He's seriously awesome despite a few faults, and if you got one early enough, it came with a bonus figure to boot.

>>6497238

Do me a favor and post a lot about it when you get it. Like no one has reviewed this damn thing except for asian reviewers, whom I unfortunately cannot understand. Gonna be a real shame if PE releases this guy for a 3rd fucking time and it's STILL garbage.

I would really love some transformers prime stuff, similar to what >>6497226 mentions but I want a Knockout. Dude was supposed to be the "sexiest transformer ever designed" according to the animation studio but then his toy was a pathetic little hollow piece of shit. He could really use the 3rd party treatment.

I've gotten some neat stuff from them.

>>6497392

All I've seen from there is everything looking like sandpaper. Tech just isn't really there for 3D printing yet.

>>6497405
That's the lower end "polished" plastic. If you order in Frosted Ultra Detail or the more durable black acrylate, you don't get the sandpaper-ish texture.

The lower end plastic is more for internal parts or things you won't be seeing up front.

I want this too, but I want it to be legit good, like Figma-quality. All those old Drossel-Sari photoshops and eventual real customs made me hungry for an official Max Factory-made Sari figure.

Hey guys, sorry for my ignorance, I haven't kept up with TFs in years, but I recall someone recently posting a Deluxe Bee from the most recent movie, and it looked...really really good. Like absurdly good. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and if so, when it comes out?

>>6497416

I'll never understand peoples fixation with Animated. But didn't someone do a garage kit of Sari at some point?

Well, I loved it because it went back to entirely hand-drawn 2D animation after the whole Beast saga and Unicron trilogy, and DJW's character designs were appealing and fun. The show was also snappy and easy to watch, whereas I ended up getting bored halfway through a lot of the other shows.

It also certainly didn't hurt that the toyline was fucking AMAZING. I had doubts about how such simple designs could work and be fun to transform, but for the most part they exceeded my expectations. Some of my favorite TF toys to this day came from Animated.

>>6497462
Reminds me of those shitty Robot Replica toys they used to do for the movies. Looks a lot better though.

>>6497323
Anon, I was talking about it when I got mine yesterday.

Also, the packages with Alleria are still readily available (so if you haven't got one, make sure she's included. You won't regret it, and it's about the same price as the standalone one).

>>6497160
Eh, he's okay. Not really my cup of tea though. I thought he would be but in-hand, I don't really like him.

>>6497392
I've bought from them once before but shipping makes it really expensive for me.

>>6496962
I agree with more Animated.

I'd take Super Megatron too. That design is fucking cool (although I'd argue it's perfect in the form of Animated Megatron's Earth mode).

I still want a good Earth Mode Animated Megatron. The Leader Class toy just wasn't up to scratch for me, with his caved-in knees (despite Deluxe Ratchet having knees that meant outwards for robot mode) and his electronics obfuscating an entire area that could have been used for a more accurate transformation. Oh well.

>>6497238
I'll be honest anon, I'm not sure why ANYONE bothered with this thing. The QC sucks ass. It's super-stylised and doesn't really fit into most collections. It has flaws out the butt (literally and otherwise).

>>6497330
Yes, and they apparently fix a bunch of the problems. Which is sad.

>>6497551
I guess we can hope for an 3P MPM one in a few year if the MPM toys sell well enough. I definitely wouldn't mind a good looking Jetfire that can partsform into a jetpower upgrade for MPM Prime.

Still not quite a Ginrai, though. To be perfectly accurate the shoulder wheels have to be on his hips and the smokestacks would be on his back.

Still, it's a bit silly arguing about accuracy on an accessory to a mainline generations toy.

>boxwarming accessory list
This is my least favorite thing about newer MPs. I really don't give a shit about stupid accessories to re-create one random scene from one terrible episode of the shitty cartoon. Plus I feel like they're throwing in all these little bits of plastic mostly to justify the recent MP price hike.

If they want to give us more stuff, they should include alternate toy-accurate parts/weapons, or hell, just put the budget toward higher-quality paint and topcoats

>>6497296

I bought one thing I was totally thrown off by the use of the term "polished". Why the fuck would they call the rough shit "polished"? It's even more confusing when "frosted" usually means there is some kind of texture or coating on something.

Anyway, most of that shit is overpriced as fuck.

>it's not that big
It's fucking huge and a pain in the ass for space conservation. Just look at any other high quality figure lines like figma or figuarts, masterpiece scale is like twice the size

Nobody wants a giant literal who version of starscream when all of the giant shit they already own belongs to G1

>>6497729
Some MPs like Sideswipe, Prowl etc are barely taller than a Deluxe man. Plus if the scale was smaller but the transformations the same, they would cost a lot more.

I get you, most of my collection is around that HG, SH Figuarts, Figma scale and they're bigger than that.

They are as tall if not taller than Voyagers. The "main" MPs are Leader Class or larger. That is frankly too big for a lot of people's tastes.

I don't get G1 or the movies but hey different strokes.
Anyway what I enjoyed about Animated was how different it felt.

>>6497574

When they decide they've had enough they sell their accounts for big bux to scammers, because scammers can use the high feedback accounts to rake in as much dosh as possible in a short time before the account gets banned.

>>6497875
>>6497901
>>6497902

Ignore it. Don't respond to it and put the fags instigating it on hide. Either way though, it's pretty telling just what the silent majority wants when a prominent 3P flat out says they're not making something because it won't sell because it's not G1.

>>6497926
>it won't sell because it's not G1

I think it's only part of the problem, the Cross Dimension line seems to be doing well and their design are new but Galaxy Meteor is big, expensive and the show he's from is not that popular. I think it's more telling of how much people are willing to spend on a Transformers that isn't a popular design (or G1).

If it had been smaller, around 90 bucks but with the same articulation I'm sure they wouldn't have that much problem.

>>6497936

Well, the most popular 3P companies are likely Fanstoys, MMC, IF, and MT, and they all tend to do the same thing: G1, or IDW inspired figures, and IDW stuff is just CHUG/redone G1. Theres a pretty obvious pattern here of what sells.

>>6497936
>If it had been smaller, around 90 bucks but with the same articulation I'm sure they wouldn't have that much problem.
Pretty much. Not everything needs to be MP size.

Ruined by fags wanting everything to be MORE BIGGER AND HUGENATOR. I mean, we're at the point where we have 2 fucking foot tall Omega Supreme's and shit. Someone should've told these fags years ago 12 inches is as big as anything should get. Shits ridiculous. I have to pass up more figures than I buy because I am not buying some gigantic hunk of shit.

>>6497970
Big toys can be fun. Carnifex and the upcoming six shots from fanstoys and gccreations look fun. Terminus looks super fun and the gimmick of having a toy that big able to bully your decepticons is half the reason to buy him.

>What happened to toys being fun and not just huge display pieces?
MP size is hardly "huge display piece". The thing with transformers is that given the wide range of the size of the character, no matter what scale you make them, there are always going to be characters that should be fuckhuge compared to others

Personally, I just don't care about scale and don't buy massive figures because, yeah, I don't see the point to something 2 feet tall. I'm not even really a fan of combiners for that reason, although Iron Factory seems to be hooking me up.

>>6497990

Yeah, but they're also around the 12 inch mark too. Honestly, things much bigger than that stop being toys and start being makeshift statues as the room to mess around with them grows exponentially greater the bigger something is. Unless you're a millionaire with entire rooms to devote to displaying your FT Omega stomping around on your MP Megs and swatting at your MP Seekers who are held up by giant stands made to go several feet into the air.

>>6498002
>MP size is hardly "huge display piece"

Given the average figure size dwells around 6 inches for pretty much any toy line on the planet, and MP's usually are measured off Optimus' gigantic ass standing at at least 9 inches, yeah, they're HUGE display pieces compared to damn near anything else people collect outside of the odd ones collecting PAK's or 12 inch dolls or similar shit.

>>6498002

Oh, and Goddamn, I hope IF makes all of the combiners. I want an IF Devy and IF Predaking so bad.

>>6497948
>Not everything needs to be MP size.
Agreed. MP need to be MP size though and this is an MP.

>>6497936
Even though I'm not an MPfag I want Galaxy Meteor. Cybertron Starscream was huge for a lot of the show so it makes sense his toy is huge compared to CHUG scale stuff. Plus it looks so damn cool.

The problem is I can't buy ANY more toys for the rest of the year due to space, money and an impending house move. I hope he's obtainable when I can collect again because if so he will be mine.

I still regret not getting those purple effects parts that one anon found on ebay awhile back, they looked pretty cool.

>>6498099
>Why dont we discuss what's everyone got on preorder? Or what've you got on the way?

I've got a TFC Raging Bull, THS Not-Soundwave, and a FH Feilong. I still need to pick up a Flypro somewhere to complete my trio. Only reason these are still on order is because I'm waiting on those damn TR Deluxes already for the current fucking wave. Been waiting almost 2 months now, this is fucking ridiculous.

I want to see about getting the IF Seekers, starting Poseidon with Thousandkills and maybe the body guy, since I figure limbs will be easier to get ahold of than the body guy. But with still needing Flypro, AND a bunch of other shit I was looking at (SHF Cammy, Revo Vulcanlog's, Assembleborgs, Wolverine, etc) hitting sometime in Dec, I don't have a plan at all as for what to buy and all of it is way outside of my budget if added together.

Currently I've only got MMC's Aero Alpha, and SXS Rodimus on preorder. I'm seriously thinking of getting that IF shockwave too but might wait tll one of the other preorders comes in to keep the shipping costs down.

I'd like to get those IF seekers too but was kinda put off by the paint chipping on Starscream that some were reporting.

>>6498122
>Damn dude, I wish I had your toy budget.

You really don't. I am poor as fuck. That stuff is just stuff I've gotten over time sitting in a bundle waiting to be shipped. I gotta save for a while to get anything, and even then, sometimes by the time I can afford anything it's nowhere to be found. I just usually can afford to sit on some 3P things because unlike other shit (see: any Japanese figure), they'll sit around for a month or two before never being found again, whereas figma/revo/daibadi shit is "buy on release or for 2x the price later on". So I have to make hard choices here and have little money, and I have to always be saving up for the next thing.

I just ordered Quantron from Maketoys, and Yellow Giant the week before from TFS. Gotta make sure I get all my current PayPal credit debt paid I have currently before I incur more on more spending. And as I don't have any tie to the Seacons, they're sitting fine as a set of 5 at the moment.

I've almost stopped preordering 3P TF. Too many times I did preorder only to see a better alternative revealed before the release date or to see the figure getting discounted a month or so after the release. Now I wait for the release and see how's the reception before paying full price.

The GT kit that came with their Devastator.
He's a pain in the ass to build but looks decent enough for my Megatron collection. Some of his pieces don't fit exactly as they should as you assemble him so it requires trimming down pegs or widening holes with a sharp exacto knife.

Neat, does it transform too or is it just a fun little build-a-bot?

>>6498531
I had the same exact problem too.I transformed him back to robot mode and slowly did a walkthrough again and the tab fit perfectly after my second try. I think the legs need to be folded in a little bit more. I would just say go back to robot mode and slowly transform him to monster mode with each step and you should get it to tab. I was about to give up and convinced myself that i got a defective tenta-kill.

I wish that they'd show off their stuff too. The only thing that makes sense at this point to release would be Fort Max.

>>6499127
He transforms into a neat little gun. Some of his parts are a little fiddly or tough just because of the nature of the parts and how they either are forcefully fit together or just kinda...snap on loosely.
The kit took me about 3 hours, and I just used spray paint from the hardware store otherwise he's a flat grey plastic with a kind of gaudy, plasticy red. The black was alright but I used a pearl satin coat on top to give him a sparkly, gay look.

I bought that set and I absolutely love them both. They come pre-assembled, so you can pick them up even if you're not into building kits. Be aware that they're slightly bigger than most Legends-scale figures. I'm fine with it because Prime and Megs being a head taller than Iron Hide and Starscream doesn't bother me. They transform well and the articulation is really solid, especially on Prime.

>How about using some examples of shit that aren't primarily of human sized characters

This, SRC is a bit smaller than the Datsun's MP, Master Grade Gunpla are taller. But like some anon says there is so much difference is size between Transformers that it's hard to find a scale that satisfies everyone.

And now with "thanks" to KO, Hot Soldiers Soundtrack isn't unnecessarily big with Bridge Watcher.

I only have Bridge Watcher, but as I recall from at least one other, Soundtrack is taller and thicker.

>>6499392
Am I the only guy who wants a voyager scale bridge watcher? I think he would look get at the size, let alone a gun made you could hold.

>>6499671
If his gun hand folds away flush, and the transformation tolerances of his legs are worked out, then I think it would be fine.

>>6499404
Looking like a wreck is a common problem for a lot of modernized G1 Optimuses. MP10 was like the first one to actually give a fuck about making the truck mode look good.

Which is better, MMC Hexatron (Clonedroid Sixshot also counts) or DX9 Hanzo?

>>6500639
MMC Hexatron. And Clonedroid Sixshot absolutely does not count, you imbecile fuck.

>>6500428
>>6500597

I'm guessing the one I'm looking at is based on last knight (MW-003), doesn't look like that one in the pic, that's gorgeous.

>>6500639
Had Hexatron since near release and I can tell you that Hanzo is the better choice in terms of virtually every aspect.
Hexatron is one of the first complete 3rd party figures, before anyone really learned how to do it right, save maybe Fansproject. It's clunky, none of its modes save for the jet look or feel good, nothing locks in place properly after a few goes between modes, the rachets all go limp after a year and things like 90 degree elbows with massive blocks of kibble getting in the way do nothing to help its poseability.

Hanzo on the other hand is actually competent and something you'd expect from a toy that came out last year. Poseability everywhere is extremely good, nothing is really hindered by anything, all the modes look great and the only real detraction the whole thing has is that they decided to make a much cleaner (if inaccurate) transformation by putting his wheels on the sides of the legs instead of the arms.

Aesthetics are subjective as hell on this but in terms of playability, poseability, stability and general quality of paint and build, Hanzo is way fucking better. The only SixShot that comes close is IF's, and considering the Fanstoys one is apeing Hexatron's violent overuse of greebling, I don't think that's gonna change any time soon.

As much as he impressed me years ago I can't think of another 3rd part release that feels as goddamn boxy and annoying to pose. Everything bumps into something else and getting a believable pose with those horrible elbows and shoulders is fucking awful.

Not to mention he has babyhands.

Red leader is the manager of Kapow-Toys. What he's saying isn't that some 3P company got a c&d letter asking them to stop making "fake" Transformers but that he got a c&d letter asking him to stop selling them in his store. This may be the beginning of the end of 3P products being sold by non chinese retailers.

>>6500403
It's great but too small. Alien Attack is making a better one.

>>6500897

Yeah you niggers need to heed this. It means that C&Ds are sent to retailers and if they don't comply the company may pull official stuff. This is why KOs aren't sold in western based shops for fear of retaliation by Hasbro/Takara.

>>6500897
Well shit. My apologies.

Seriously though they'd better fucking not. I mean I can't imagine HasTak'd be stupid enough considering the potential backlash but if they do there will be blood.

>b-but muh IP laws

IP laws as we know them literally only exist because Disney are too Jewish to allow Mickey Mouse to go into the public domain. Fuck IP lawyers, fuck Disney and fuck HasTak.

>>6500929
Hasbro will be unfazed because the people buying their toys will largely not buy 3P, and Takara is probably minimally affected by 3P figures in general. Whats more likely is that more retailers will spring up to just stock 3P stuff.

further research indicated he scales pretty well with IF City Commander. I'm really starting to warm up to this little guy.

>>6500936

So is there anything to stop 3P sellers from forming online stores that sell 3P only, separate from their normal business, that way they can say "Oh, we don't sell that at all with the business you're associating with" to Hastak and thus avoid any bullshit?

>>6500929
Just because you're mad at Disney does not mean IP laws are a bad thing. I love third party stuff and think they are vastly superior to the official counterparts, but they are breaking the law, and Hasbro and Takara would totally be in their right to stop them from being sold by big online stores.

I do think you massively over-estimate the backlash they would get if they decided to threaten retailers. Hasbro gets far more sales than third parties do. Unless it is a very small specialty store, retailers will drop third party instead of risk what will sell. Majority of fans would still buy Hasbro, unless they only buy third party anyway.

As requested, here's a quick scale shot with the Generation Toys Leader set and some random Legends figures I had around.

Go ask Jerry Only if Hasbro gives a shit about IP laws or property theft. Or all the car companies they copy and get away with because "we changed a few minor shapes", Or Mego who they copied the 3 3/4" GI Joe body design from, or Mattel who they copied the 12" GI Joe design from, or anyone else they copied from.

Hasbro only conveniently gets mad at IP theft when it happens to them but are content to do it to others.

China, as well as Russia, have both been weirdly leaning towards the whole "protect copyright" angle in recent years. I understand Russia doing it, Putin is a fascist fuck that wants any means to control his people and he gets to coddle rich people in the process. China has been forced into it with other countries pushing hard for strict copyright enforcement, China can either go along or lose trade deals with multiple countries.

Owners of various online toy shores in China have had the police arrest them for the "horrible crime" of selling bootleg toys. Chimungmung stopped carrying KOs because of this.

Yeah folks, enjoy your future where the police are more focused on people who download music or sell bootlegs than they are in drug dealers, rapists, pedophiles or murderers, because Metallica, Nintendo and the MPAA are feeling as if they're a few cents short this week.

Thanks dude, just ordered a TFC Deathclaw, been eyeing him for months. Last time I bought from a flash sale I got scammed (it never shipped, seller shut down, I eventually got my money back)-- hope that doesn't happen this time.

I also noticed, while checking prices for GT Scraper, that you can buy an individual "Green Shadow" one. I'm assuming the seller is just breaking up the set and selling them individually. I hope this happens with the G2 version for the love of god-- I just want that yellow scraper.

Display amazingly well with the rest. I also prefer his G1 toy face.

Got Origin Leonidas in; no pictures for now, sorry.

After an hour of fucking around with it, it has all the same issues people reported about Xerxes.

Heavy to the point it falls out of its own base if you pose it with the ab crunch pulled out and bent forward, floppy as shit (e.g. if you gently sway the toy by the chest, the legs sway freely and independently), and overwhelming to pose or play with because of the sheer quantity of small, moving parts that are prone to popping off.

Despite being so heavy and floppy it can't stand on its own half the time, some of the joints are stupid tight - like the shoulders and the upper knee double joints.

It didn't snap on me anywhere, however I feel the midsection is (still) at great risk because it's really light, thinner feeling plastic bearing the weight of way, way too fucking much diecast both above and below.

The only other 3rd party figures I own are Fanstoys Quakewave and MakeToys Rearend - and neither of them feel even remotely as fragile and finicky as this guy.

The paint also looks much, much better in person and the whole toy is a very subtle metallic throughout. But the red is still a far cry from the gaudy and eye-searing candy red of the promo photos.

If the KO's are entirely made of plastic and not disgusting levels of metal, I'd say opt for the KO.

But otherwise this guy is really pretty and serves its purpose of being semi-statueshit I'll change the pose on once in awhile. I don't regret buying it, but YMMV.

>>6501597
Also just to add: Leonidas being a $150 headache made me appreciate the ridiculous brick house that Fanstoys Quakewave is even more than I did already.

Sucks poseidon isn't strong enough to hold the targetmaster team-member very well, then again it might be just mine because my Thousandkill has a shitty combiner joint that needs to be replaced (Hopefully the place I got it from can help, anyone ever work with TFONESIXTH?)

Overall though it's a great combiner and set. Everything is solid save for thousandkills combiner joint, and the bonus parts you get that make a stand can work as sort of a floating side-arm for Poseidon with the targetmaster anyway.

Solid 8.5/10 for the combined form. Higher if Thousandkills combiner port was better, making it 9, and if he can support the targetmaster after that is fixed easily EASILY a 10/10.

The best part about the set imo is that each figure is worthy of being a standalone because they just look and play so damn good.

As an ebay seller I can tell you that of all the countries I've had to deal with the US has the most entitled and annoying ones. It was getting such a hassle to deal with them that currently it's the only country I don't ship to even though it was about 10% of my volume.

>>6501748
*ones=buyers

>>6501748

Most shit in the US ships within a day or two unless the order falls on the weekend. So people here are used to getting their shit fast. Waiting a week before shipping just isn't acceptable.

Titans are a fucking rip-off in my country, but they're still not $600. Literally what.

>>6499069
They're doing Drift from the same mould (called Beta, if I remember correctly). They just decided to make Wing (Alpha) first.

>>6501597
Hahaha, I can't believe people bothered with this after the first version sucked so hard.

Not in the US, bub.

Thicc Hobby super mega op prime up for pre-order direct. $178, but lower if you use one of their coupons.

When's he due out?

No. Canadian here and the seller is also Canadian. Our postage is expensive as fuck, yes, but it's also quick.

I bought a mother fucking G1 Scorponock from a fellow Canadian and for less than 20$CAN of shipping, the thing came in 3 days.

No, that MADLAW fucker just "forgot to send it because he was busy with his sister's wedding" or some shit.

What are so good 3rd party military vehicle bots? Tanks, artillery and attack helicopters are some of my favorite things, who makes stuff that fits that bill.

Funny that XTB is apparently trying to salvage their reputation instead of just rebranding like other companies have done in the past. That being said I do want this.

>>6502594
This is part of combiner but looks like a solid standalone figure if "military vehicle" is what you're after.

>>6502674
I feel like XTB wasn't even doing that bad. It's usually just complex transformations with one or two problematic steps that would bring their stuff down. Nothing like exploding in your hands or whatever.

Has anyone here ordered from Action Robo? I'm thinking of ordering their IF Bruticus.

>>6501851
Cool, you want to order 300 copies just for yourself? Cause thats the only way your autistic ass is gonna make a difference

>>6502674
So I have Wardog, I would like this version of Cosmos, do I get Toy World's Seaspray to round out the 'chunky' mini bots?

>>6502674
Shame that I think G1 Cosmos looks like a fat turd. I think I'd rather just have an upscaled KO of the Hasbro legends class one.

>>6502713
I just did, based on recommendations that I get the Shadow Fisher upgrade to Quantron. So all I know is it's on the way.

Just got my PC-16 Jinrai Prime and I'm having issues transforming him. I can't get his legs to line up properly for vehicle mode, the back wheels always end up much lower than the front wheels and the hip flaps can't connect to the front. Is this a design flaw or am I doing something wrong?

>>6502961
the entire waist piece slides up a tiny bit on a really stiff joint

>>6502712
well their plastic is often excessively thin and brittle feeling. Like the shell on Andras is really light and thin feeling, just doesn't seem durable enough to fall a foot off a shelf.

>>6503006
That does it, thanks

>>6502712
My issue with xtransbots is that their stuff often looks good but when in hand it's gives me that meh feeling. It's probably mostly the finish; cheap plastic and lacking paint to give it presence.

>>6502084
The entire central car parts are die cast, (folding hood parts, chest roof and center of heels)

>>6502266
And that's my point - the US is behind on that front.

>>6502733
No, but there are plenty of other people who want it. What the fuck is wrong with you people telling others what they can and can't have? Just because you don't want a figure, that doesn't mean others don't.

Get off your high horse, faggot.

>>6502527
But Giant cost more than Hasbro's Titan Class figures, full stop.

Would it kill them to just use plastic? is it really that much cheaper to make additional molds and paint diecast parts?

Try half. At release.

I like diecast but this is definitely a dumb decision.

>>6503194
it might work if they do the same as the OS skull cruncher hips, making them into a good friction universal joint system.

I only have a few MPs, but I already can't find enough space for them... and I don't even have the oversized versions.
I can't put them on the same shelf as all my G1 stuff or my TR stuff because it looks stupid.

My decades-old collection of official and unofficial Transformers says hi, you stupid troll.

>>6503290
>fake-ass bandwagon fucks are going to spend hundreds of dollars on the kind of obscure nobody or highly-specialized characters that 3P is all about
I don't think so, Tim. If anything, fake-ass bandwagon fucks are going to just buy retail shit or hop on Amazon or BBTS and pay some slightly-inflated prices for actual MPs, or just unwittingly buy the KOs.

Who are these people, though? Who is trying that hard to seem like they're a part of this awful fandom? At this point in my life, I've realized that being a Transformers fan is more like a horrible burden or a disease. Nobody WANTS to have it.

>>6503255
Man, that figure is sooo good! I'm legit excited for what they'll copy next! Hope they'll do an OS version for the voyagers and the leaders too! That'd be so awesome!

I know these were basically some of the worst figures ever made, but I still kind of find them stupidly endearing and get one out to mess with every now and then. Even more endearing since they were dirt cheap on clearance.

I also did like a two second mod to give him weapon storage, which I can't believe it didn't originally have.

"G1 toy with Articulation" is certainly a novel idea, but yeah it's no surprise the novelty wore off nearly instantly. It's kind of cool seeing it executed at least once, though.

On a related tangent, I still hope that some day an Optimus based off the G1 toy's design gets made with modern engineering, detail and articulation. I saw a really cool fanart rendition of what that could look like (could never find that picture again though) and ever since that's been like my dream toy to have

If they did a galvatron with a fixed head and arm cannon, or a bigger sentinel prime, or a modified chromedome so the kibble collapses into the legs more (making him sleeker) i would chase after them, but so far the animalcons and hardhead/brainstorm/highbrow seem to be their goal.

Any opinions on ToyWorld's WaveBreak? Or him versus Spin Drift? Thinking of picking up him and Richtofen.

>>6504653

Very proportionate and combined is their strongest mode. Ankles tend to slip easily on some surfaces and the way the hips move for transformation hurts his stability somewhat since it's just a friction joint. The legs are extremely hard to get out once combined and might need modification so it isn't such a piece of shit. Bits of kibble eventually come loose on the robots and flop around. The head articulation is terribly lackluster. You might also need to take apart Hun-Gurr's legs to replace the faulty original ratchets and cut a spring so he can actually extend his legs again.

Worse than the POTP one.

>>6505271
It's probably because of all the oversized knock-offs they carried.Hasbro doesn't seem to care unless it's straight up using their molds. Same thing happened to IGear for their undersized KO seekers and Primes.

The Kubianbao Walteataon is in.

The parts look fine. Almost no flashes so I not sure whether they redid the design or just copied the original GT version through recasting recasting. I would think if it is just a recast it would have plenty of flashed around the parts.

No flashes, but there plenty of pieces falling off from the runner even in bag.
