These little shits on the pic, I don't care that EX God Ginrai will be cheaper than buying both Super Ginrai and Godbomber, I don't care that they anounced it in the same day I got Godbomber, but why the fuck are the jr Headmasters exclusive to the bundle?

Check ebay for combiner groups, some people sell those for way cheaper than individually, or just get one of the G2 sets, some of them are still cheap around the net. You could get the G2 Menasor set, since you'll probably never use Motormaster as a torso anyway.

Octane is now my favorite Con Triple Changer toy.

I am recently getting back into Transformers

I'm most friendly with Beast Wars and the Armada trilogy, and I've been trying to recollect the old toys I remember having from back then.

Recently found one of my all time favorites, the TF Universe line Reptilion.

Goddamn, what a paint scheme and the figure itself is great (or what I can remember anyway) I also remember having Snarl and Terrorsaur.

Can any of you guys recc me some more really cool and detailed Beast Modeformers?

I went to target earlier today and the toys they have now seem way too simple, with very blocky designs and small color palettes. And what is a "Titans Returns"? I prefer the more complicated designs.

>>6509006
Well, he uses the Optimus mold, so he was bound to be good. That mold also doesn't suffer from floppy legs like Astrotrain.

>>6509009
The Beast Wars Neo toyline has a lot of cool and unusual beastformers and the prices are pretty good. The BW Transmetal line has a lot of good shit.

Broke the tailfin on my Cosmos and then went to my local TRU to score a Hot Rod or a Windblade

They didn't even have RID figures, I guess I missed their fucking clearance sale

Which figure would you transform or play with for the final time, before killing you'rself?


Alternatively, are the weirdo boxed guys any good? Apparently Amazon has them for $1 and I could price-match it with TRU

>>6509041
>Which figure would you transform or play with for the final time, before killing you'rself?

Depends. If it's one that I own currently, Black Shadow

Otherwise 2001 RiD Megatron
Honestly considering kicking the bucket soon myself but I might hold out for POTP

I just told you, friend.
Now the only TRUs remotely close are either in a quiet strip mall where there's nothing else worth visiting, and a depressing regular mall with a Wally World, but with dwindling/downsized TF aisles when I checked a few months ago. I got coupons man, I have to buy retail to save my colourful plastic maplebucks

>>6509049
Fuck man, my largest figures are Sentinel and A3, and I bought them only for their altmodes. Saw some used RiD Megatrons at TFcon but the chrome was scratched and might have had missing parts. An in-box white one was over $100 though.
PotP will yield loadsa cheap but good figures hopefully. Might cave and order that $7 Swerve I saw listed a while back

>>6509041
>Which figure would you transform or play with for the final time, before killing you'rself?
Titan class Sky Garry or MP Deathsaurus, whatever comes first.

I got a couple of the head dudes, Optimus and Nemesis, they are pretty nice but have a hard time standing.

>>6509006
Hands down, the best voyager in the line.

>>6509058
>MP Deathsaurus

Bring the figure with you if you can

Standing? In vehicle mode? Do they even transform? Worth ~$1.15 a pop, do you think?

Sweet.
Was just going to get Ultra Magnus, but I guess I'll have to get Nemesis, ergo Optimus, ergo Megatron. And possibly Prowl as well. There were like 5-7 left. Think I grabbed a Magnus but thought it might be Prime.

>posable arms
Is the giant insignia removable? A bit of a questionable design.. Gonna watch these obnoxious video reviews and see if I might make the jump

But yeah much appreciated. I still have a Unicron lying around, we can pretend it's Deathsaurus' fortress while Satan gives us a suspicious look

I -am- a fucking autist and as a consequence I do sometimes get mad at poorly-designed toys.

If you're not an autist, why are you playing with toys? Are you a child?

>>6508821

A Voyager with a transformation schematic that wouldn't fly on a Legend. They didn't even turn his head. Oh, that combiner torso better be fucking amazing.

>>6509019

Yes, and now they will never get a toy.

Come on. The line needs an antagonist.

>>6509085

Stay the fuck away, they're addictive.

>>6509086

That image is a fake, but the POTP Terrorcons are not.

>>6509175

But the Headmasters are characters in themselves, more in TR than before since they bestow strange and unearthly powers on their partner...

Does anyone else like that aspect? I feel it was underused. Of course, some of the Titan Master powers were goofy as shit, and there was a range of powers they never did use, like psychic abilities.

I would have expected Japan to come out with a female one with super-seduction powers, like Megatronia. Ah, well.

>>6509512
Rodimus Prime is the antagonist
Optimus Primal is the true protagonist ;)

>>6509175
Because Masterforce was the first transformers cartoon I saw, the Jr Headmasters were characters even without their transtectors.

>>6509674
>>6509680
I suspect his point is that this notion of current TFs being worse than they have been in the past is erroneous, and the use of images of non-recent figures that are regarded as terrible illustrates that bad figures are not a recent phenomenon. More than that, what is being regarded as "shitty" in todays figures may still be relatively better than what was "shitty" back then.

Either heat the neck slot ant try to close the clamps a bit or put some acrylic polish/paint on the sides to reduce the gap.

Grimlock and Megs transformations are too different to work a repaint or reshell, unless you are fine wit a Grimlock cosplaying as Megs.

My local one doesn't, this was up at Silverburn just outside Glasgow. If you're not in a city I'd go to your nearest one and have a look around Tesco's there.

Florida central is a barren wasteland. All the Walmarts, TRUs, and Targets near me are still clogged with Slashes, Berserkers, Grimlocks, and wave 1&2 TR deluxes. This is after they reset the aisles, so I'm on the verge of just looking out for a HTS restock. All I want is this guy damn it. He's made it to Arkansas, he should be here already.

Posing them without something for their feet to magnet to is infiriating if you don't have tiny hands (6'2" here...), so start hunting for metal surfaces. Getting poses like this takes way too long

>>6509851

Just be sure to put Jetfire the right way up, ie, with the wings pointed up and the jet's nose down.

>>6510202
Why would they take the transformations into consideration? Just make the t-rex head and tail detachable so Megs can hold them.

Happy to, same goes for any other requests. It's just a little swivel joint, with pegs on the male (torso) part and holes in the female (hips) part.

Really Dinobot should be the remold. Its clear BW dinobot was intended as a new form for Grimlock anyway, and got a few repaints into Grimlock later.Sure the proportions aren't perfect for a raptor, and too big, but BW dinobot's raptor mode was hardly accurate in the first place.

>>6510353
So it's just two pieces clipped together, right? No pegs?

My local Walmart did this, they ordered an absolute dickload of wave1 just before Christmas and made a huge center-aisle display of them.

Thanks a lot, Hasbro. You Japanese market now.

If so, where can I buy them at?

>LMAO US-ONLY DURGSTORE EXCLUSIVE
It has been on most online stores for months, also why no try ebay, I've seen him for 25-30 there, btw, he isn't worth 40.

>>6510500
Some times but they're mostly the same mold with different paint, I only get them if they include new accesories or change the mold in some way like they did with Devastator, you can find them o pretty much every online retailer.

>>6510500
Only if the original problem was a bad/non-existent paint job, or if Takara feels like radically re-engineering it like they did Devastator or Computron. If neither happen then you get a really weird line like their version of Animated.

Would it be possible to sell the Takara headmasters set if it's missing one headmaster? I could try buying the Legends version and the Takara headmasters set, keep the US Brainstorm head, and then sell the rest of the headmasters; of course, I would be destroying the Legends Brainstorm head to save the world from at least one of those abortions.

I prefer Hasbro Hot Rod. Yeah, I'd like to have the target master but the Takara chest on HR looks like shit.

So I completed the entire line of US Combiner Wars. Bought myself a Devastator for the price of a Leader at TJ Maxx as well as the Autobot limbs for Skylinx and then Wreckgar for like 2-3 bucks each.

I feel like I should take a picture of everything since it's one whole entire finished line.

Good figure, but has a unavoidable hinge breaking issue for the back flap. It should still hold on even when broken however, because the part that breaks is the yellow plastic, and theres still 2 red hinges holding stuff on as well.

No, it's a construction issue. Either the pin is a bit too big for the yellow hinges, or they're too thin for the thing. Either way, it's probably gonna break. Mine was fine for months, only broke last month, but it's still held on by the red bits.

With how much people complain like autistic retards about the paint they seemed to ignore how is it that something more important in making CW Ultra Magnus underwhelming was the lack of a waist swivel when it couldve been so fucking easy to implement.
Still debating on whether or not to get the Perfect Effect White Mememus because of it, I might just not bother honestly.

>>6510623
I got Jinrai Prime in this week and I'd recommend Core Magnus even on his own. You could think of combining with CW Magnus as bonus if you aren't keen on the trailer body.

>>6510518
Not sure why Wheelie is on that list. The way the Takara version completely ignores the molding and design of the figure and just colors everything orange in the name of accuracy is pretty ugly. The rest I'll agree with, though.

If those are in good condition then you're a lucky bastard, that set alone is already worth close to 100 bucks on Ebay. Overall, I would say all those figures are pretty good, Universe and Generations did outdo the Classics line in almost every regard but there are still a number of molds, like Optimus and Mirage, that hold up really well.

I thought I'd hate the head-hands, but they end up being fun. I like the beast mode just because I love the old blocky look of those later G1 toys.

Anyone want to post deals they got this week on Transformers?

You're better off not owning a single Classics figure but, yeah, save for the repaints from previous lines and G1 reissues, that's most of them I think.

>>6510807
Paint can be fixed, mediocre plastic is unfortunate but won't kill a toy, terrible engineering; which is the trademark of every Classics original; is unfixable.

Nigga, the engineering for most Classics still holds up incredibly well, especially the Voyagers. Are you that one guy who always apologizes for CW because he likes figures with the complexity and quality of a Playskool toy?

I wonder if any Houston anons looted any toys from flooded stores. I would.

>>6510819
Shitty aesthetics can't be fixed though, and that's something that actually worked in Classics 1.0 and doesn't in a lot of modern figures. Also, hollow parts.

>>6510819
>classics
>bad engineering

And yet the Optimus Prime, Mirage, Astrotrain, and Bumblebee toys from that line are still the better than anything else that came after.

Like >>6510781 said he has a lot of playability since he's a two headed dragon and what have you. It's also just personal taste, but I really love the blocky retro aesthetic of the Dragon mode. I've always been a fan of cheesy bots from the 70s and 80s.

As for the robot mode, I can't really find a pose that feels "right" for him. Not sure why, guess I don't care for how the heads function as arms.

>>6510826
I can understand why CW needed some compromises and I don't really mind them, the alternative seen on 3Ps with the hideously overly complicated transformations and rampant partsforming is way worse than MUH PLAYSKOOL, but that doesn't give Classics a free pass. Their issues are completely unrelated and it's completely random and stupid to bring CW just because you hold the line in contempt.
The only Classics original voyager that's somewhat decent is Jetfire, and it's still awkward as fuck. Optimus and Megatron were trash and wasted potential because whoever designed them had no fucking clue of what to make with the kibble on any of them; both seemed to be made as Action Masters and the team then went "fuck it, just put some panels on them i want to go home early".
The deluxes were just sad.

Mirage and Optimus I can understand because you people have no standards as long as there's articulation but claiming that fucking Astrotrain is good is too much.

>>6510841
>>6510839
Classics/Henkei Astrotrain is better than TR Astrotrain because it doesn't have that fucking awful partsforming block head and the alt modes actually look like real alt modes instead of whatever bullshit TR Astrotrain is trying to pass off. Upscale it to a voyager and add some articulation and it would be pretty much perfect.

If by compromises you mean "having bland-looking robots turn into bland-looking cars that combine into bland-looking combiners just for the sake of hastily selling 20 repaints for each mold" then honestly, I don't think it was particularly worth it.

>Optimus and Megatron were trash and wasted potential because whoever designed them had no fucking clue of what to make with the kibble on any of them
What kibble? The small sides of a truck in Optimus and the wings in Megatron? Because that is literally some of the most negligible kibble there is, you would be shocked at some Beast Wars figures it that really triggers your autism all that bad.

>both seemed to be made as Action Masters
>you people have no standards as long as there's articulation
No, our standards are for aesthetically pleasing robots that turn into cool vehicles, beasts and whatnot. Classics was an absolute success in that regard.

>The deluxes were just sad.
Nigga, what are you talking about? Hot Rod and Astrotrain do have their issues, but Bee / Cliff and Mirage are still some of the best Deluxe figures ever made. Grimlock and Starscream / Thundercracker were also fairly solid as far as design goes.

>>6510862
>Grimlock
>solid

That mold is anything but solid. Something didn't assemble right with how the shoulders don't lock into place.

You're such a joker.
Never thought there could be nostalgia for a 11 year old toyline. I hope /toy/ exists for ten years more so we can see the shit-flinging from people with nostalgia for Combiner Wars.

>>6510855
Yeah, my issue with is is predominantly how excessively blocky and feeble the robot feels, but in comparison to the TR both his alt modes are genuinely impressive. I'll have to agree he should have been done in a larger scale with more attention to robot engineering.

>>6510862
Those were huge pieces of kibble anon, they out right hindered Megs if you wanted to do dynamic display and have him not fall over.
>you would be shocked at some Beast Wars figures it
I'm not sure saying a line that was ten years older than it at the time was worse really says anything.

The Hasbro version does look pretty mediocre in robot mode but at the very least he turns into an actual space shuttle and an actual train, not whatever the fuck this thing is.

Did you actually have Classics / Henkei Voyager Megatron at any point, anon? He was one of the most poseable figures for his time.

I mean, if you want SarkSarkSark or Partbotron type combiners I won't be questioning your taste but your sanity; but they were made to be played with.
You can switch limbs in minutes, something that would take hours with 3Ps. Some had terrible designs, though, but they were really good for a line of combiners designed on a budget of pocket fluff.

>What kibble? The small sides of a truck in Optimus and the wings in Megatron? Because that is literally some of the most negligible kibble there is, you would be shocked at some Beast Wars figures it that really triggers your autism all that bad.

>No, our standards are for aesthetically pleasing robots that turn into cool vehicles, beasts and whatnot. Classics was an absolute success in that regard.
lmao no
You needed to go to the voyagers to find arms that actually try looking like arms.

>Nigga, what are you talking about? Hot Rod and Astrotrain do have their issues, but Bee / Cliff and Mirage are still some of the best Deluxe figures ever made. Grimlock and Starscream / Thundercracker were also fairly solid as far as design goes.
Mirage has tiny, vestigial blocks of t-rex arms like pretty much everything before the first movie line; like Hot Rod does; like Astrotrain does; like Bumblebee does; like Grimlock does; like the Seekers do.
"Aesthetically pleasing robots" my ass.

>>6510877
Exactly why I said they seemed to be designed like action masters first.
The altmodes are alright, I guess, gay space gun and gay smooth truck and all, but the robot modes come battered and bloodied out of the transformation.

Saw this sitting at Target while I was out and figured I'd buy myself an early birthday present. It's pretty good but goddamn the tank mode either falls apart or won't roll because the legs jut out from underneath and the treads won't peg into the shoulders in jet mode. Also sometimes those stupid ugly pylons on his collar are hard to get back in once they pop up. Tailfins make great heel spurs though. Did the Blitzwing version fix any of these issues?

UHM, that's an industrial cargo train wearing a crashed shuttle as a hat. Get it straight.
Still better looking than the Classics Astrotrain that comes with shuttle wings all over its ass.

Jesus christ, good blitzwing toy never then? Two attempts and neither is any good.

Mines had the same issues. Both modes are mess imo and I don't get the love for the mold at all. Seriously debating not even getting blitzwing. My generations with sxs kit is better.

>>6511126
Mine was an impulse buy. I mean I could have had worse luck, it could have been Galvatron.

Also, protip for any of you who open a toy store or manage a store that sells toys like, don't put the transformers next to the Star Wars stuff because the Transformers are going to shelfwarm like a motherfucker, this megs was literally there when I went to the same Target to get some clothes last week and was still the only voyager they had.

Honestly, you know what the problem with the TR Blitzwing/Megatron mold is I think? I think it's a couple of things, the pegs on the shins that are great for robot mode but go nowhere in vehicle mode and the fact the legs are sculpted to be in an a-stance.

Has anyone here performed the leg fix for Pyra Magna? I really don't want those stress marks/cracks on the legs, and as I only got it today I figure it'd be best to just do this now rather than wait until it becomes a serious problem.

Yes... welll... I finally got him, and the infamous hinge issue really is inescapable. It literally disintegrated on me without any justification. Also I don't care for the beast mode hind legs, and now I am kind of wishing I got Skullcruncher instead.

But Monxo has that sweet time-manipulation ability, so...

All you had to do was not have Megs' feet be flush flat. Give him high heels and he'll pretty much take on any pose. I particularly liked having him sit/stand on his own wings, ala Thanos or Green Goblin.

The underslung fusion canon actually bothers me more than the wings.

>>6510839
He's been my CHUG Prime until my recent purchase of KBB MP10V. Even then, he's still more CHUG, since CHUG's more about that modernization while KBB MP10V's more about that MP action.

I recently grabbed Camouflage King Kong to go with him too.
