Snarl and Sludge look pretty dopy in robot mode, though. And Grimlock's dino mode looks really small. Maybe because he's posed in a depression?
>>
>>6520853

>>
>>6520853

We've been told multiple times by Hasbro before that they budget their paintjobs by wave instead of by figure, It's probable that painting Dinobots is simply cheaper because you only need the same set of color for all of them and the less different colors the more you can have of each individual color.
>>
>>6520853
Grimlock looks good shape wise but his chest looks weird.

That might be because I'm too used to chrome, anyway the grey they used here is acceptable, looks like I can tolerate these hasbro versions unless stickers show up
>>
>>6520853
Probably just because they're painted prototypes. The retail figures won't look that good.

You can already tell from looking that Takara is gonna paint those fists blue and paint the inside of those gray panels on his arms red so they're gray in truck mode, but red robot mode.

I love that his face sculpt is the exact one used for the Swoop Titanmaster.

I know most of /toy/ shits all over Warden, but he's 3 for 3 as far as I'm concerned. This trilogy is probably the best one made. Just wish the plastic quality was better. Regardless, anyone who doesn't think this line is fun should probably stop collecting TF's.

I'm torn on the Dinobots.
For one they are cool in concept and are the closest transformers have got to putting dragons into the series without shitting it up, for two I forgot how terrible the kibble was on them.
That shit is disgusting but that's just how they are and these are the closest HasTak has ever gotten to making a complete and accurate team. And thank Goldner's Molech idol that Warden would choose to be accurate now, you guys, when I wanted a team of acceptably accurate Combaticons all I got was Sony's The Swindle, mustard Movor, gray Vortex, and PS1 Brawl.

That was literally old CHUG's forte, anon. The proportions of Classics Prime in particular are the reason why so many people still love him despite all the follow-ups.

>he unironically likes altmodes that require the weapons to look complete
The truck still looks complete without the roof / rifle, I've already seen people who take it off because they actually prefer the flatter G1 top.

>he unironically likes botmodes that have huge arm and butt kibble
The horror, the horror! Those two little pieces on his arms basically ruin the toy forever, it's not like the rest of the unique and intricate robot design compensates it in some form or else!

Also, no one accused you of being a samefag, samefag.

It only gives ammo to those saying its for poor fags, not to mention that's a cost saving measure rather than making their own new head.

That said the ears differ, round tipped, perhaps glued on, retooled might be the better term for it

Holy fuck, are you seriously bitching about the head of an Optimus Prime toy looking too much like the head of another Optimus Prime toy that was specifically designed to look how Optimus Prime is supposed to look?

Jesus Christ, you people are insufferable.

don't think so, if you look at the trailer you can see the top of primes chest and it looks like there is false windows/matrix cubbyhole with the arms folded on top. also pax's altmode has wipers while prime doesn't.

extra hands, they show them connected to the torso of the dinobot combiner to flesh it out a bit

Of course, combiner default configs are usually garbage, we'll come up with something better most likely.
>>
>>6521136

of like all the female TFs introduced by IDW, only Lancer and Greenlight, Anode and Lug, Dustup and Jumpstream, and two offscreen characters from Caminus have been written as gay

meanwhile Windblade, Chromia, Blackarachnia, Airazor, Strafe, Mistress of Flame, Nautica, Velocity, Firestar, Airachnid, Lightbright, and the majority of others are either unattached or in heterosexual relationships

don't overreact just cuz a few gay people exist
>>
>>6521164
Yeah, it looks like it could be adjusted a bit.

I think hasbro would do Dinoking First. Spofar hasbro has been the first to do characters like Liokaiser, Overlord, Black Shadow, Thunderwing, Metalhawk, and they even brought over Ginrai and called him Magnus prime.
>>
>>6521147
It's nice they're combiners and all, but I'm not displaying them like that unless there's an upgrade kit. And even then, why display them as anything but the Dinobots?

apparently people were in line for exclusives and that's why panel attendance was so low

doesn't change the fact only two females are in heterosexual relationships while the others are in lesbian relationships.

I wouldn't count on that at all. The extent of CW famodes was positioning thighs slightly differently. If everything is really meant to lock in the one way then you won't be able to do shit with the torso.

tigatron and airazor
chromia and ironhide are heavily implied
strafe and slug

skids had a very blatant crush on Nautica and now she's all obsessed with bringing him back

as for the guys being gay maybe, just maybe, that's a result of the fact that the majority of most of the Transformers characters that exist are dudes
>>
>>6521148
The concept of the Dinobots being a bunch of dads to Slash is greatly amusing to me. I'm just imagining Grimlock trying to throw down with the umpire at Slash's little league game over a bad call and the others holding him back. I can see him being the kind of guy to immediately take his shirt off for a fight.

in what universe does "not in a relationship" automatically equal "asexual"?

and what would the problem of them being asexual even BE?

The males makes sense since they lived on Cybertron for 4 million years+ with no females whatsoever. They're all prison gay basically.

For one, they aren't robots, technically they are cybernetic lifeforms and fully sentient, thus exempt from the laws of robotics. Also, the laws of robotics are only applied to robots made by us, in-universe they weren't created by humans, so once again, exempt from the laws of robotics.

the firecons are easy to confuse with one another

and most of Roberts' gay robots are sad gays with dead love interests so I don't see what Strafe and Slug have to do with anything

most of the relationships in IDW are just subtext or implied, or people who have interest who don't act on it, even, so mentioning Chromia and Ironhide is perfectly valid
>>
>>6521202
>This is a moot point since the colonies were introduced.
Holy fucking shit balls you are a total and complete moron or you arent paying attention at all to the comics. The colonies HAVE male and female bots and we know they have hetero relationships, its just Cybertron thats weird and we know it did once have females billions of years ago but they were all either exterminated, left or died out a very very long time ago. So on CYBERTRON, only male from way fucking back when does make sense, so yes, they are all prison gay.

But they tried to Keep Slingshot down because he was white.
>>
>>6521144
What a horrible head
>>
>>6521217

anyway the reason why they made Alpha Bravo was to give the line some diversity in alt modes and also get some more use out of the Vortex tooling. a helicopter gives you a bit more to work with than a bunch of gray, black, and white jets all at once.

the Seacons don't have that problem because turtles, lobsters, sharks, manta rays, cephalopods, and whatever the hell Skalor is aren't as samey as the Aerialbots are

How can maximals exist along side by side true and honest G1 characters? They've written themselves into a corner and ensured that beast wars shall always be a relic of the past while G1 is the future.

Except how much I spent on one didn't affect how much I spent on the other. I usually only buy 2 or 3 expensive figures a year, while I might buy a dozen retail figures. Now I'll be buying those same 2 or 3 expensive toys, and maybe just one or two retail figures if I really like them, which means I'm still gonna save money compared to what I would have spent.

>>
>>6520986

it's not the same head.

MP Prime has thinner and taller antennae that aren't as connected to the helmet, and he doesn't have faceplate detailing exactly like that, and also MP-10's faceplate is much wider

the only similarities are superficial, because again, they're both meant to look like the fucking cartoon
>>
>>6521350

your stupid logic writes out the Predacons, Dinobots, Ravage, Laserbeak, and at least a dozen of established "G1" characters who have mundane animal forms
>>
>>6521357
Lazerbeak never scanned his bird mode. Dinobots were built to resemble dinosaurs because of wheeljack, predacons got their animal mdoes because they were built like that and never scanned anything.

you do realize they can just keep using Beast Wars characters with robotic animal modes just like IDW and virtually everything else has been doing, right?

also Laserbeak didn't get his condor mode until Earth, smart guy
>>
>>6521363
Megatron formatted him?
Or you mean why the maximals are running around at all with Shockwave in there? Because it's clear that BW happens after the war, either Shockwave integrated into post-war society or was killed already.

>>6521363

the autobots controlled Cybertron by the time season 3 occurred, so if Shockwave was alive, he wasn't stationed there anymore

every other G1 continuity that could conceivably lead to Beast Wars has him either dead, or not on Cybertron by the time the story ended

you don't know how Transformers canon works, do you? None of the different versions of G1 are even compatible with each other.

Fuck, Bob and Larry even said themselves that they didn't choose one version of the story for BW to follow from. The cartoon references stuff from both the comics and cartoon, even. It's a sequel to a version of G1 that doesn't actually exist and always has been.
>>
>>6521384
So what you're saying is that the Maximals were originally micromasters and that's why they're so tiny?

no?

That's something Dreamwave's shit came up with and was never part of anything BW's writers came up with.
>>
>>6521376
The war could run for million years more for all you know. You can shove all the generations you wanted in between before revisiting Beast Wars.
If anything, IDW diarrheaed the bed by introducing BW characters before the war ended and before the great upgrade was implemented. Thrilling30 was a mistake.

Given they don't reproduce sexually, for them, gay may be the norm. I mean, in their society 'female' isn't a gender, it's just another class or tribe, like 'combiner' or 'beastformer' or 'minicon'.

All these excuses for gaying up robots. Why bother introducing female robots in the first place.

>>6521413
Most of those deluxes just share parts and transformtion schemes, they are not remolds, Blurr and chromedome share thights too and they cleary aren't remolds either.

The war did end in IDW before they started bring in BW characters. There is no great downsizing.

We call them remolds
There's no true, exact definition
But when the design process is basically "take x character, replace some parts, give them new tooling, and voila, they're ay character" we call it a remold

Not a Pretender except in the figurative sense. An exoskeleton =/= a Pretender shell.

>>6521421

Arcee begged to differ: it drove her nearly insane to be a 'her' at all. Apparently they just 'know' and it feels wrong to identify otherwise.

>>6521418
>Why bother introducing female robots in the first place.

Read 'Prime's Rib' which addresses the issue quite neatly.

>>6521450

...He melted?

I don't see how that would work, but then, I don't even understand why Pretenders are as formidable as they are. Thunderwing, I sort of get, since he supposedly was the incarnation of Cybertron's self-destruction, but Bludgeon? And he said they would 'all' become invincible and indestructible.
>>
>>6521459

Kup is unkillable. I mean he lived in the Dead Universe for billions of years.

If that doesn't seal the deal...

In IDW, a Pretender shell really is not the same as an exoskeleton.

The Magnus armor, for one thing, was developed thousands of years - maybe millions - before Pretenders were developed.

His armor makes him more powerful - obviously - but it is not comparable to a Pretender's abilities.
