So I bought a CW devastator from some guy. Except he covered it with aftermarket stickers. Most are harmless construction stickers, but there are some unnnecessary decepticon logo's and a big DEVASTATOR sticker on the back of Hook's vehicle mode. How do I get rid of them?

Tl;dr how do I remove aftermarket stickers from CW Devastator

>>6504020
>two badges right next to one another

these are terrible, goddamn. I'd say a little rubbing alcohol and a swab, but not sure if the paint would come off with it.

I think this person ordered the Classics Devastator that was a repaint of the Energon one, thinking that it was the combiner wars one. I think it's just an old person who doesn't understand ebay, but it's still kind of funny to hear about an autistic kid getting mad at a toy for not looking like the character. He'll fit right in on /toy/ if he isn't already here.

>>6504138
Hey, not a bad lot for 80, there's a lot of well-designed goodness in there. IMHO, that Soundwave is still the best CHUG-like Soundwave around, he takes an enormous dump on the TR one as far as aesthetics go.

Respectfuly disagree with your opinion there mate, TR SW has a few issues (oversize helmet, chest door paint aps) he might be too big for most CHUG collections, but he has better proportions than the cybertron mold, I'd have him on my collection if i wasn't a scale fag, I still have FoC SW as my CHUG Soundwave.

>>6504165

I like how he's mad despite half of those characters getting new toys well before hand. Plus with the gimmick of PotP leaders,I'd be surprised if we didn't get a Starsaber. He'd even have a deluxe saber and the prime master could be the brainmaster.

No, I just keep him amongst my MPs instead since he's way too sleek to look like a regular CHUG. Not gonna deny he's pretty dam good though, a pity the jack plug broke on mine.

>>6504217
>>6504221
I wish MP Soundwave could play MP3s. Music Label Soundwave is great but yeah he really looks more like a piece of hi-fi rather than a transformer and the bot mode definitely aged

MP Soundwave would have so much empty space that would have been perfect for electronic guts if they dropped the "can store up to three cassettebots" gimmick that just legitimately doesn't work. You could even have speakers in his empty-as-fuck legs. I suppose it wouldn't be that wise to have a gimmick literally no one would every use anyway, though.

How? I know it's a loose ass hinge connection, but if you put the drone piece back on and rotate it with very slight upward pulling, you should be able to wedge it out.

Unless you used some kind of tool and fucked it up, in which case you should just yolo it and scrape the visible part off.

>>6504256
The drone connection is INCREDIBLY loose. I can try but I doubt it will come out. Thanks for the advice

>>6504129
There's still hope for Deathsaurus and Star Saber, since the guys on the poll REALLY wanted Deathsaurus to win, despite losing early on.

That being said, I have no clue how he'd get made.

Deathsaurus would be fun, but there's absolutely zero chance of an Star Saber being any better than the MP.

The MP is still cheap to find and he scales really well with Mainline stuff, surprisingly.

Does anyone know how to find local buy/sell/trade groups? I'm in the Cedar Rapids area and it's dry as fuh.

I've always felt the same way, actually. MP Soundwave is an absolutely perfect figure on every regard besides the fact that it doesn't actually play music, and after walking around with the Music Label on my pocket for years that's a genuine shame.

Oh well, maybe there's hope for a ML 2.0 in the near future or else, now that the old one is turning 10?

Anyone here with PC-16 Jinrai can please check if he fits into the trailer using the stock chest "cage"? thanks in advance.

I want him but have no interest in the PC-15 godmaster.

>>6504371
The vehicle mode is the exact same shape and size as the cab from LG Ginrai, so the stock chest cage on Ginrai should work fine. I don't know if the PMOP chest cage will fit, though, since the cabs are slightly different.

Also, they advertise that you need to use PC-15's replacement head for PC-16, but apparently the stock head from PMOP/Ginrai will just barely fit if you turn it backwards or something (I forget exactly, but point is it fits)

>>6504347
My only beef with MP Soundwave is that I wish his feet could tilt forward but yeah I guess that might be an issue too for some people.

I regret having my MATURE MAN phase during the first two movie lines so much.

Voice actress he was stalking blocked him. I can't wait for the day Tara Strong blocks him. When that happens you're gonna see some serious shit.

>>6504426
The whole Real Gear line is pretty nice, but High Score has some really nice plastic (despite the droopy joysticks). He is surprisingly poseable for what he is.

>>6504447
>>6504450
Meantime is great. Again, super simple transformation but still a great deal of poseability. I particularly like having him looking at his wrist impatiently. Also, light piping! Spy shot has it too, it's cool.

>>6504447
Thanks for the warning. I got him used and his shoulder clips were half-fallen off when I got him. They clipped back on easily enough and I didn't see any stress marks when I checked, so hopefully he'll be alright.

I have him, binoculars (pretty shit desu), watch (great), and Spy Shot (good to great).

>>6504453
Zoom Out is also a solid figure. I use him to occupy my nephew since his transformation is so simple.

>>6504450

Ok, so I got a Leader Megatron sword by accident in a Transformer auction, and the seller let me keep it. Who'd be a good fit for it? I was planning on giving it to Sky Shadow, but the hilt doesn't let him hold it properly.

>>6504458
I like his looks but his arms just feel limited by modern standards. Especially when his legs are very posable in comparison.

First movie wasn't too memorable, but rotf had quality and quantity in droves.

Ut even gave us the most overly complicated deluxe: ranpage.

>>6504464

High Score is a very tiny game controller, but his plastic is excellent and his transformation is pretty tight. Giant gorilla arms but good articulation otherwise.

Meantime is a watch and tallest of the ones I have, great transformation with noodly limbs that bend just right for good poses. Light piping and a good headshape. Highly recommended from myself and everyone else I've seen talk about him.

Zoomout is a video camera, small but not as small as High Score. Simple transformation, good fiddle factor. Video screen turns into beetle wings, cool feature. Arms are a little stubby but the rotation of his shoulders lets you do a lot more than you'd think.

Spy Shot's a little finicky getting back into camera mode and his wrist joints are a little tough sometimes but he's a good-looking figure and his photo camera form is good, even has a clicking button. Good light piping. Legs have good articulation but the arms are a little awkward. Has claws that open and close too.

I love all of the ones I have and if I had the space and money for them I'd probably indulge in the rest too, but these were the ones that came recommended to me.

Hasbro doesn't like to touch Beast Wars designs too much after Bob Skir ruined Beast Machines.


>Bob Skir says that other writers came up with the Vehicon Generals and "all the mystical stuff came from Marty [Isenberg] and I, based on Hasbro's request that we add a "spiritual dimension" to the show". (The phrase "I am transformed" comes from Hasbro too) The overall arc of the series also came from Skir and Isenberg "based on many conversations with Hasbro, Mainframe, Fox, and us".[8] Hasbro was quite keen on the spiritual tone out of a desire to try something new with the franchise, while Skir felt Nature versus Tech was an obvious theme but he felt that was a lazy cliche and the show should be about a balance between the two. (The technorganic characters helped him argue this)[9] He merrily went all-out with the spiritual aspect, expecting Hasbro to change their mind but he found they liked it and asked for more![10] It was Hasbro itself who said "hey, what if someone turned into a plant?" as part of their drive to stretch the franchise to its limits.

Well, shit. I took off the panel again and this time, I examined it under high intensity light. Sure enough, the stress marks are there even though they're really hard to see.

After some painful deliberation, I've decided to just not put them back on at all. I don't want to deal with having to worry about when they'll break, especially because the rest of him are so solid, it'd be such a shame to force myself to tiptoe around him because of the shoulders.

Alt-mode kinda suffers, but if I squint enough I barely notice it...

My personal review of all the molds, from the experience of having owned at least one version of each at some point and still having a couple around:

>Binoculars (Longview / Farsight)
Cool robot design and the binoculars themselves are neat but there's something about how plain they look that never really clicked for me. Still, I would say Longview is worth it for how rare it is to have a yellow movie figure that isn't Bumblebee.

>Cellphones (Highline / Speed Dial / Wire Tap)
Great mold all around, the cellphones look like realistic mid-2000s flip phones and the drone-eyed robots are incredibly adorable.The transformation is a little rudimentar but that's hardly a detractor. Highline probably has the best deco, but the other two still look great.

>Compact camera (Spy Shot / Photon)
Literally one of the greatest "Basic-sized" figures ever made. The camera looks great, the unsymmetrical transformation is absurdly genius and god, that bizarre but nonetheless beautiful retro-ish robot design, it's just glorious. Spy Shot looks the best as a robot but Photon feels slightly more realistic as a camera, even though they both could easily pass off as actual compact point-and-shoots at first glance.

>Watch (Meantime / Midnighter)
Interesting transformation and lots of poseability, but the overall design of both modes feels a little bland for me. imho, they could both be passed, although I do know they have a "micro appreciation fanbase" of sorts which would argue otherwise.

>MP3 player (Night Beat / Booster)
The MP3 player is easily the most lazy design in the entire subline but the Lazerbeak-based robots are pretty much perfect. Night Beat is negligible but Booster is totally worth getting, he even has a decent amount of articulation in his feet and wings.

>Gameboy (Hacker / Power Up)
As far as I love the concept of Gameboy-based bots they are both unfortunately rather bland, neither modes look particularly remarkable and the transformation really isn't all that interesting. If something, Power Up has a neat deco, but there really isn't much to them otherwise.

>Video Camera (Zoom Out)
Yet another badass kino mold that just shows why this subline was so goddamn good. The camera looks great, with all sorts of sculpted details from buttons to a neat fold-out screen, and the robot is basically the closest there is to a proper CHUG Reflector. There's just something so charming to his stubby design and his color palette, I would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat.

>Vidya controller (High Score / Twitcher)
Easily the most interesting and unique robot design in the subline, gotta love how he looks like an angry little dude. The controller feels a little too small for something Xbox-based but still, he also looks great in that mold nonetheless. Twitcher my favorite deco but most people seem to prever the classier look of High Score.

If you only have to choose one then Spy Shot would definitely be my pick but, if you're willing to go further that, then Zoom Out, Longview, Highline, Booster and Twitcher are probably the figures in the series. The others are also good enough in their own merit, even the most mediocre molds like the Gameboy and the watch have some charisma to them, but those six are the ones I would personally pick. Hope this helps, anon!

>>6504844
So it turns out that in Takara's fiction, Trypticon has a similar power to his TR toy. Anything he eats grants him more power, but having humans, transformers, and beasts from the legends universe inside him grant him a truckload of power.

He basically has the similar powers to the Godmaster, the powers Ginrai gains in his chapter (mostly the beast, and human energy), on steroids do to all the people he had inside him.

So Trypticon has probably been elevated into the strongest transformer in their fiction. Hell, even exploiting a weakness and Metroplex using his chest beam, he still survived relatively unscathed, a testament to his strength.

>>6504816
I think making the blades detachable helps too. Better they come off than bend.

no it's a fantasy sequence Starscream is showing Blast Off to manipulate the constructicons to do what he wants

>>6504855
>tfw this has to be explained over and over again
That page is forever posted out of context.

Starscream is using Airachnid to mess with Blast Off's dream to produce a saccharine, sappy make-believe perfect life for him where Onslaught cares about anything other than crushing his enemies. He does this to buy Blast Off's cooperation as he modifies the other constructicons into believing they work for him (starscream). By offering to make Onslaught-senpai notice him, he wants to use Blast Off to convince the others that everything's fine and dandy and normal because as a combiner they're resistant to mind manipulation unless there's an inside force pushing that agenda.

In the real world, Onslaught is not having wet sloppy makeouts and sappy love recitations with Blast Off. He pretty much has literally done what Starscream promised, which is to notice Blast Off. And that's it. And it's all obviously a setup for future drama to come crashing down on Screamer's head.

In the west it means you are from a family of Catholics. In Japan you are a missionary or something?

>>6504991
He shit on Star Saber because the only characterization he was familiar with towards the character was TMUK's and that was Star Saber as some villainous Decepticon turned Autobot fascist warlord.

>>6505176
For a long while it was associated with peasant uprisings and revolutionary outlook overall since in Edo period these often involved mass conversions to catholicism as an additional act against the structure of society. Referencing that would be much more interesting, imo.

>>6505171
AFAIK anime just puts Catholic imagery because it looks cool and can easily jump into knightly imagery from there. From what little I watched of Victory, Star Saber seemed to really like being around catholic-looking churches.

Would we ever get those armor kits for Overlord or Devastator for example from Transformers ZONE? Hopefully wish that Takara does these if we have a reissue that's not going to be fucking cancelled

>>6505624
Only if someone at a Third party company REALLY wanted them made. Oh, and remember that the Zone generals have two sets of armor, so pray the one you like gets made.

And oh boy, pray even harder that the hypothetical armor for Trypticons doesn't break the bank, his could easily break 100 or even 150 on his own since among the things they have to add for the kit to work, is new arms with better articulation so they can hold the club better.

Also:

>Takara making the armor sets

>>6505623
The Takara's whiter, doesn't have the build imperfections you'll very likely need to correct on the SDCC, more paint applications (like the red on the shoulders), no chrome, and certain areas being cast in white plastic instead of black (like the ramp on the right boob).

>>6505635
Oh forgot, the most notable change are the runways, they're white on the Takara. I remember people buying both so they could give the black ramps to the Takara version and sell the other Metroplex.

My TLK caliber prime also has a shield so I got 2 of the things, but because I'm a fucking bird I'm giving my tlk prime 3 fucking shields, one on each arm and one in hand.

It's going to be hilarious when people try to sell the Takara in a few months, and they don't have the box to prove it.

>>6506038
Well we all know they're functionally the same, I can see retards now

>hur dur the difference between the hasbro and takara is the ratchets

Wonder how many people will fall for that.

What'd be even funnier is if they switch them, sending someone a hasbro in a takara with a HUUUGE mark up and fucked up legs

Anyone here own Gigastorm? Does Gigastorm still have the cannon on the forehead? I know they change the clear cap from Trypticon into huge clear horns for Gigastorm, but I've never seen anything confirming the horns are fixed in place with the cannon removed, or not.

>>6505804
The Cerebros feet are a bonus, you buy that kit for the new hands and torso cannons.

>>6506047
I've got Gigastorm and the plastic horn removes all the parts belonging to the cannon mechanism. No gun comes out, nothing it's just a regular plastic horn.

Anyone actually like the rid2015 line?

Sure they lack paint and may not look quite like their show counterparts but they're basically generations figures under a different line.

...the other sublines are a mess though purely meant for kids outside of the warrior class

>>6506073
It's got some gems to be sure. Soundwave in particular. I hope we see a Shockwave too.

>>6506073
Most rid2015 toys lack in articulation and easy transformations

>>6506094
Easy transformations aren't a negative.

>>6506073

The really really little ones (Legends? Legion) have some fucking great figures when they do original designs, but ones based on larger figures tend to be shit.

>>6506098
How are they a positive? Usually easy transformations lead to a ton of ugly kibble.

>>6505417

What's the blue thing in the back?

>>6506094
>lack in articulation

The bisk mold is just as poseable as the tr hardhead mold

>easy transformations

The bisk and sideswipe molds were more intricate that tr scourge and skullcruncher who I can do blind where's bisk needs to be done in a specific order (not much but hay) and sideswipe was a real surprise

>>6506102
I have to agree with this especially since some legions are nicer then their bigger ones

>>6506105
>transformations lead to levels of kibble
Its more design overall than a transformation, look at tr windblade

>>6506073
Recent releases have more paint and smarter engineering than any current Generations figure.

Bad engineering leads to a ton of ugly kibble. RotF Blazemaster isn't an easy transformation and nobody would say he's streamlined and kibble free.

Meanwhile Optimus Primal is one of the best toys ever made and the only thing involved with him that's hard is my dick from how fun he is.

Stickers, and if you haven't noticed both haven't got their full sticker set applied.

And both have those same stickers near their crotch, got a feeling the review applied those so he can work out which is which out of the box

Why reissue that?

Futhermore unless hasbro's pr is funded by paint savings ALONE that side bar graphics look like shit, I call fake

Random thoughts on Windblade, who I just got.

>nice sculpt and colors
>the face looks really good
>I surprisingly like the swords
>those thighs, I dig them

>transformation is insultingly simple
>no attempts to hide the chest in alt mode at all
>very back heavy
>no wrist articulation and only 90 degree elbows

It has its problems but I like. And honestly I wish they retooled this mold for Nautica instead of Blurr.

>>6506148
Might as well put nautitca's head onto scourge because that's essentially what you're asking for

>>6506152
How?

>>6506148
>transformation is insultingly simple
I didn't think I'd like this, but I do. Being able to flip her between modes in like 20 seconds is surprisingly fun to me. I wasn't sure if replacing the Generations Windblade with the new one was a good idea, but the face alone made it worthwhile.

>>6506158
>she turns into a boat whichscourge resembles
>windblade is a retool of the highbrow/scourge tooling set
>if feeling lazy similar colors

I should work for hasbro, but I digress.

if they changed scourge's upper body and arms then yes, could very well work for her

>>6506166
>>windblade is a retool of the highbrow/scourge tooling set
All they share is the waist estension engineering and /maybe/ the thigh pieces. I wouldn't really call that a retool.

And honestly yeah, I would've been ok with a Scourge retool too. That probably would have been better even.

Really highbrow and scourge are just hollow shells with the waist extension piece between them and the same thighs.

If you want to be nice then sure, they just share engineering, but they share the same common set of parts, allowing visually different toys with a mostly new transformation between the 3, if anything windblade is closer to highbrow because she also has aircraft backpack syndrome.

In all honesty the only guys that could ever give an idw accurate nautica would be 3p unless takara mp's suddenly go in that direction but by that time I think most of us would be dead

>>6506185
Hmm. Ok fair enough.

>>6506183
I regret skipping Clobber

>>6506185
TR introduced Marvel legends part sharing into transformers, people gets confuse it with remolding but its quite different, Blurr and Chromedome and their thights and they are clearly different molds, just like Scourge and Windblade.

Wasn't getting that set, just wanted a TF reaction image. It was CW Bruticus, the only combiner I missed the first time around, the auction wasn't much cheaper but included Shockwave. Fuck it though, I bought a different listing and now I own it, just sucks to watch something that nobody else seems interested in for days only to have it yanked out at the last second.

Easy transformation and shell forming are quite different. Pick related is a reat example of a simple transformation that's smart instead of lazy, with only a small panel on his back as kibble.

Also see the legends class especially Cosmos and Shockwave.

Are there any good IDW Metalhawks out there?

>>6505260
IDW has been running from the Marvel origin of the Transformers since day one as far as denying Primus/Unicron created the Transformers.

Part of this was due to Simon Furman; a condition of him going to work for IDW was an iron-clad embargo on Unicron as Furman REALLY got pissy when fans shitted on an arc he did on the Dreamwave Armada comic, which had all sorts of Unicron wank in it from Furman.

Even now that Furman is long gone from the Transformers, they STILL won't let anyone touch Unicron. They might as well go full tilt and have the Quints show up as the makers of the Transformers, while they are at it

>>6504471
He was one of my fav RGR. The articulation for his size class and era was quite exceptional.
