>What are good post-apocalyptic looking Transformers?
Any G1 toy leftover from childhood. They usually look like they've been through Hell and back, thats for sure.
And most of the Bayformers. They usually look like walking shitpiles compared to proper Transformers due to their over designed looks.

>>5295281
If they do Omega Supreme, they should make it so his face cover lifts open and become a Titan Master that can ride the tank and rocket parts.I know this is utter sacrilege to G1 zealots but it shouldn't detract from the toy at all and would be a really sick feature.
>>5295284
I honestly want a non-suck large scorponock to go with my RID Brave Maximus and the upcoming Fort Max and not buying the botcon one, but I'm fine with saving up money for him and having dinosaur parking lot first.
>>5295455
what counts as not suck?
We have that fuck huge non-transforming one from sentinal
>>5295440
That would be cool as fuck. It'll probably never happen, but it'd be awesome.

Whine harder, maybe put on a Bill Hicks CD and read Milo Yiannopolous on twitter while you cry so you can be a complete dipshit with poor taste.
>>5295505
He never said if he liked the movie designs.
>>5295537
Well, Bill Hicks died before the movies were a glimmer in Hasbro's eyes.
>There are people that think this looks good
>>5295434
You're free to like whatever you like, but having bad taste coupled to throwing tantrums on a lebanese string puppets AOL chat over a series of bad movies that are still better written than G1 makes you look like a retard.
>>5295578
This design looks great
>>5295583
>over a series of bad movies that are still better written than G1
shut the FUCK up you RETARD. You obviously have NO TASTE at all and your opinion is worthless. Generation One is classic. NO OTHER incarnation of The Transformers even comes close least of all those ABOMINATIONS that don't even deserve the name of The Transformers
>>5295578
It's still one of the most fresh takes on a jetformer in decades. The F-22 is such a wide,awkward shape I thing it fits better than trying to make an F-22 transform into the old G1 design. Whether it works as Starscream is a different story,though. If he was movie G2 Dreadwing,maybe there'd be less complaining.
>>5295598
>It's still one of the most fresh takes on a jetformer in decades
Taking any vehicle and having it morph into a random pile of garbage and scrap metal can be considered "fresh". Doesn't mean it's good.
>>5295595
>There are people that think this looks good
>>5295605
I'm watching the G1 cartoon right now. Megatron just unironically built a giant mechanical gryphon as a master plan
You have no right to criticize anything ever
>>5295605
It`s not just random,though,the wide shape is evocative of the 22's delta wings. You may not like the detailing,but its hardly a mess .
>>5295595
>>5295605
>TL;DR REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>5295598
It's weird because Starscream is always supposed to be second in command for being efficient as fuck in combat, regardless of his methods, but Bayformers are so fucking brutal that it only makes sense that their best fighters are the fastest and the most ruthless of them.
So, making him a fast and monstruous thing makes sense for his character to work in battle, but not so much to look like Starscream.
Also, I can't fucking believe how they killed the guy.
>>5295612
Nobody thinks that thing is okay.
>>5295558
You're going off topic.
>>5295628
I actually like how it has the OBEY face behind the mirror.
>>5295644
That's the only thing that is okay.

>>5295614
>le 80s cartoon writing was random and dumb
>therefor anything else is above criticism
Possibly the dumbest counter-argument I've ever heard. I actually like quite a few Bayformer designs, but Starscream is one of my least favorite. Just because G1 had shitty writers doesn't mean I'm not allowed to dislike Bayformer designs. Do you even realize how dumb you sound?
Also, I don't see what's inherently bad about a mechanical griffin.

Wow and yet I was able to tell every bot apart from the other. Ah, the glory of youth!
When is the next major new continuity?
I like the feeling of having a new look to everything and only loosely based on existing guys.
>>5295694
I bet you also think a mechanical dinosaur is stupid. Or a mechanical shark. Or a mechanical anything. How stupid and immature. Shit sucks. What awful writing.

>>5295727

>>5295724
Fuck. You reminded me how bad RID15's toyline sucks.
Is legends vacuum dog any good?
>>5295737
He's pretty alright if you like Legends figures.
>>5295734
you mean TF5
>>5295346
Tell me more, anon.
>>5295737
The warriors and legion are pretty decent figures.
The problem with the rid line is that the majority of the line is for the younger crowd which is not necessarily a bad thing. Its just so much.
Also while I like the warriors, pricing the simpler warriors at the same price as the more deluxe CW stuff is pretty stupid.
>>5295779
>More complicated deluxe
>not HiQ
You dun goofed!!!!!
I'm worried that all these headmasters will be loose at the neck like brainstorm.
>>5295792
details are right but the colors are wrong.
But if Hasbro got it right, then you'd never import the Tomy version.
>>5295583
Orci & Kurtzman couldn't churn out better than some teenager's Twilight fan fiction, let alone the G1 cartoon.
>>5295798
I imagine they'll learn and improve from that, the same way Combiner Wars learned and grew from the FoC Bruticus.
>ugly greebled chest plate
>crap hanging off forearms
It's mostly right, but those 2 issues say I'm keeping my original PMOP and passing on this.
>>5295822
I'm waiting on takara to improve the deco.
I doubt they'd fix the hollow arms and lack of a proper power master but they'd be more worthy of my money.
I wonder though, what could takara do to the leader blaster of the same wave differently?
>>5295825
>I'm waiting on takara to improve the deco.
if you had the reading skills beyond that of a preschooler you'd see my issues aren't the deco, it's the sculpt. Too many ugly bits just tacked on. It's not like the chest even resembles Godbomber.
>>5295792
His name is Ginrai.
So I found some of my old transformers while cleaning out the shed and then I found Thew on youtube, and now I'm collecting these little plastic bastards for the first time in ten years. This Combiner Wars thing seems neat enough, I've gotten Motormaster, Mirage, Breakdown, and I'm itchin' for more.
What's some good shit to look out for? What combiner dudes did y'all end up liking?
>>5295830
And if you read mine I specifically never talked about the sculpt because it was a failure upon conception.
>>5295837
Everyone loves rook and the silverbolt mold type mold is perfect.
I personally prefer the cyclonus retool of silverbolt mold.
Recent purchase was battlecore optimus prime because why not, now to wait for UW menasor to go down in price...again.
>>5295822
>i like my brick than these stupid articulated modern toys
Whatever floats your goat, I guess.
>>5295706
>>5295837
I recently got back into things too. /toy/ helped me out quite a bit. Of the CW stuff, pretty much all of the Deluxe figures are pretty good. It's when you combine them that things get a bit clearer in terms of good/bad.
Silverbolt is hands down the best bodybot. Superion is incredibly stable as a result.
Hotspot is in the middle, more or less. He's not as stable as Defensor as Silverbolt is as Superion, but he's better than Motormaster.
Motormaster has the worst hip joints of the bunch as Menasor, and is kind of top heavy compared to the rest. He's not "Why the fuck did I ever buy this" bad, but he's the one with the most obvious flaws. You gotta be more careful when posing him because of his hips and topheavyness, or he'll flop right the fuck over.
Also, a lot of scalper shit is going on right now for the older limb bots of the line, so you'd be better off buying full UW (aka: Japanese) sets for Superion and maybe even Menasor now, depending on pricing.
>>5295894
Did you get uw superion from hlj?
From all the sites I've seen it seems that they have it for the cheapest price
![201508231924034e6[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wGzXIqH.jpg "201508231924034e6[1].jpg")
>>5295894
Should be noted that Menasor's hips got fixed and there's a revision going around. Takara's version uses the fixed hips.
>>5295898
Nah, I got him off eBay. for about $120 US altogether. I don't really trust international shipping honestly, normal shipping is bad enough in a lot of places.
Also, if you're interested, Walmart and Amazon are selling the CW Devastator set right now for $109 Freedomerica Eagledollars. I'm debating getting him. I've already spent so much in a month to grab the stuff I wanted because it's basically my only shot at Christmas, and I'm not made of money (seriously poor as fuck) but it might be worth the splurge.
>>5295900
Yeah, I have UW Menasor. Even fixed, his hips aren't the best by a long shot. Either that, or I got bum hips in my UW Menasor.
>>5295907
Ah, no, you're right. His hips are pretty wonky. I just was thinking you were talking about the worse hips than the merely adequate ones.
>>5295909
He's still not bad overall though. I enjoy the big clunky bastard. I just have to fiddle with him longer to get him into poses I want and be mindful of his weight.
They honestly should've used whatever is in Silverbolt's arm ratchets for the others. They're so solid it's ridiculous.
Oh, and for the guy just getting into it like me, the same applies to remolds. Cyclonus=Silverbolt, Prime/BC Prime=Motormaster, etc. So keep that in mind if you want to use them for their combiner modes too.
>>5295902
>not trusting international shipping
>walmart and amazon mentioned

I hear such sad stories about shipping in the US in general but you know what, all countries have bad shipping practices because they're run by....people, ya know?
I had boxes dumped at my doorstep (which I never use, odd house design means its easier to use the garage door) but signed off by the driver (which they can't do, thanks to an internal investigation), I had boxes kicked, I had boxes sent straight to the post office without an attempt to be sent to my house, I even had a twat write "strange address" from a local tru order which got me free shipping when I asked if this was standard practice.
Dunno how it goes for you guys but here in Australia the guys on the receiving end have it rough, they need to make a quota and thus they have to rush around, and this is just for the guys giving it to me, not the guys in the country of origin who are sending to me, can you imagine the japanese looking at my $150 boxes and wonder what does this fucking gaijin want from their home land and breaking their backs?
I feel sympathy to anons who have to pay import taxes for their items, we'll be paying that soon as well.
You can do what you like and that's fine, but know that if you try online its not always so bad...
Hlj's boxes have survived everything, even sitting infront of my door in the fucking rain for 3 days with the contents intact, and amiami's could survive a fucking football kick.
>>5295916
>Hlj's boxes have survived everything, even sitting infront of my door in the fucking rain for 3 days with the contents intact
I wish their site, and customer service was that good.
>>5295837
Prowl is excellent, Offroad is my favorite though, would be perfect if he had some nice guns to go with. Also the legends guys can be really good. Blackjack is great as a standalone toy, Rodmus if you don't mind redeco, Huffer is my favorite.
>>5295916
Shipping in the US is just a bitch in general. We can get damn near anything usually at a decent price, but a lot of sellers price gouge like a motherfucker on shipping fees, and anything imported is probably (in my past experience) going to take forever to arrive, and look like they played kickball with the fucking thing the entire way.
I usually look for US sellers of foreign objects if I'm ever going to get a Japanese release, and anything from China is right out, so much counterfeit shit from there and you won't know if you're getting a genuine thing until it shows up on your doorstep a full month (maybe more) after you bought it.
>>5295922
Their site has done me well and their customer service, when given a little argument, cave in because of japanese business practices caving in to the old "customer is always right".
Here is a story.
>hlj gunpla campaign
>free joint parts promotion
>buy 3 kits
>only get one set of parts
>"oh only one was eligible"
>hey hang on one just happens to come with an addon kit you ripped from a magazine while the other is infact part of it, as you can see in this screenshot
>"oh ok we'll send you the missing parts, here is the tracking"
>they send me the entire set of parts and not just the 2 I wanted
My only complaint ever made in 4 years and they blew me out of the water, sucks to be the guys who missed out though.
>>5295925
Stuff from the US takes forever to arrive where's the stuff I get from japan is instant, I bought 2 model kits, one from a gunpla event in america and from an auction from yahoo auctions.
Despite one done via a proxy it beat the american one via 2 months, what the fuck, the shipping was also stupidly expensive so I try to avoid US shipping, even more so on ebay, seems to be worse than bbts with shipping.
I avoid stuff from china unless I give no fucks like a cheap watch.
And if I'm worried about quality then I'll be forced to head outside and spend 5 hours walking around to one of the few decent anime shops around and then complain all the way home because australian retail, ok our local shipping isn't bad, but its the cost of the item that hurts.
$400AUD for mp10 tru man what in the flying fuck.
>>5295737
cute but his mouth doesn't open.
>>5295931
Yeah, speaking as an American, US shipping is pure shit. Slow as balls, expensive as fuck for what it is. I don't know why people praise BBTS so much, the shipping there is expensive as shit compared to a lot of other sellers offering free shipping, and it's not like they're giving huge price cuts or anything compared to anyone else.
>>5295931
I'll tell you what happened:
>Made an order in October
>Be an idiot, and go out before checking the confirmation
>A few hours later, I notice they sent 2 order confirmations
>They apparently duplicated my order, and I couldn't cancel since the PayPal billing agreement paid for the orders almost immediately
>Contact them about this, only to tell me they won't do anything (I could return the extra order, but I had to pay for shipping or the shipping I already paid for), even though they told me this was an error on their end
Now I'm waiting to settle this whole thing through PayPal.
>>5295916
>I feel sympathy to anons who have to pay import taxes for their items, we'll be paying that soon as well.
RIP
I got charged £150 for importing Fort Max from America to the UK on top of the £300 I'd already spent on him.
>>5295934
Its overly praised much like hlj.
There is a movement of people here who hate hlj here, screaming BUY LOCAL and yet these guys keep buying plamo and shit...and they complain about being poor, idiots.
I don't praise hlj, they've just treated me right, so far.
>>5295936
Woah, they've never done that before to me.
My sympathies, makes me feel I should turn off my paypal agreement
>>5295937
>dat much for fort max
Fuuuuck
>>5295944
Praise, in my opinion, should be reserved only for places that offer good deals. Any idiot can sell stuff for retail, you gotta give me a nice % off and some sort of free shipping incentive to boot to earn a bit of praise in my book.

Whoah Let’s take Jesus off the dashboard.
Got enough on his mind.
The old g1 cartoons were made for kids so the crazy plots are somewhat forgivable. The bay movies could have been good except for the crass toilet humor and stupid military porn.
I'm not even commenting on the movie designs. It's not g1, it's different. I'm not saying that one is better than the other.
But storywise, the old cartoons are tolerable. The g1 comics are another matter. Furman's transformer gods are stupid and contrived. Now they're even turning Optimus into one of the original thirteen. That's stupid. And with the current situation, it wouldn't surprise me if the bay movies will portray decepticons as robot ISIS.
>>5296282
>decepticon ISIS
I wouldn't mind if a new decepticon fembot was called Isis and ruled over ancient Egyptians for years as some god, would fit well with the fallen's stctick.
But the decepticons are too great in number to be shit stirs, if anything the autobots are the insurgents
>>5295231
edgy megs seems pretty mad max-ish
>>5296288
How many cybertronians are even still alive on bayverse? They were supposed to be nearly extinct in the first movie, and now they keep killing them off for dramatic affect. Not to mention nearly of the decepticons introduced in a film die in it.

Yeah, such a waste of what I think is the best Movie Megatron (although I still like ROTF Megs).
I hope some day we get some new molds of these older movie designs. If the movie toylines stop producing toy-only characters, I wouldn't mind getting a new Jazz or a proper Mirage in their place.

>>5296598
Every Starscream except Armada is commanding a retarded price for it's size catagory I've noticed in my figure hunt. If you want a G1 Starscream, you'll be paying as much as a brand new CW Leader one anyway, so if you really gotta have the G1 look, you might as well just get that one.
It really sucks, I just wanted a Deluxe sized one or FoC one but I can't justify the $40-50 people want for one. They need to re-release some of the older ones because this shit is annoying and expensive.

today was a good day.
>>5296368
I'm wondering the same, too.
>>5296636
I have the FoC one, but no clue where the guns went. Interested?
Nothings wrong with it and I don't want a stupid price. Was just never too fond of it.

After all the "rumors" from that podcast, it would be kick ass to get a Liokaiser combiner. Since it seems like TT is only sending out sets, not random torsos like Hasblo is, what else could they have planned.
Still don't know if we are getting a shuttle form of Blast Off but I'd bet money on it.
I could see them doing all the Technobots as properly as possible. (and in right colors with some brown, not endless red).
The Battle Core Prime could be a finisher for the rest of the G1 cast not done with the others. Convoy + Ratchet (Offroad/Ironhide), Hoist (Tralibreaker/Offroad), Bluestreak (Prowl), Sideswipe (Breakdown).
We would only need limbs of Red Alert, Tracks, Jazz, and Skids to complete a deluxe G1 84-85 cast. Not counting Grapple and Inferno though.
>>5296746
I'd love to see a CW Jazz figure. We're already getting a Wheeljack. It's odd we haven't gotten a Bumblebee/Cliffjumper though.
>>5296759
NO.
We have way too many bumblebees and you know this. I'm glad they chose to give the autobot car scout role to hot rod this time. I don't even care about hot rod, but there's just too many bumblebee figures as is.
>>5296546
No he is a Headmaster named Ginrai.
>>5296746
If they do Liokaiser, maybe Jarugar can get turned into a Targetmaster.
So for my battle core prime I got mirage and prowl.
I want to get hound and wheeljack for the other 2 limbs and I just realized the hands and feet will be two different colors.
This should be interesting.
>>5296815
If skylinx stays together well in torso mode, he may be the best out of the whole bunch.
>>5296825
He looks like a modified Silverbolt. Look at the body shape and the skinny arm-legs.
>>5296539
you know you're supposed to be turn their heads back right?
>>5296546
That's bullshit yet I'd love it. That would explain why Optimus has been shit for such a long time and why Orion Pax was based.
>>5296627
>I now have Hot Rod about to axe Soundwave right in the ball bearings.
That's hilarious.
if i had the proper room i'd display them like that.
>>5296746
>>5296800
That's perfect.
>>5296825
here's hoping.
>>5296770
I don't have any Bumblebees and the only cheap ones out there are the fugly RiD and Bayverse ones.
I want a new CHUG Bumblebee. And a Voyager Hot Rod(imus).
>>5296842
Nothing can ruin your day like a power axe spoiler right to the crank shaft.
>>5296853
now Soundwave knows what its like to be Movie Blackout.
>>5296770
They could just use the Dead End mold since it's only been used for him and Wildrider
>>5296853
I just whipped this up a minute ago.
>>5296839
He's not though.
>>5296845
But the classics bumblebee is actually really good. No new one is ever needed.
>>5296845
Deluxe hot rod and a voyager rodimus. I'd be fine with that.
Don't care for the character, but the design is pretty cool.
>>5296876
I wasn't around when he was released and now he's expensive as fuck.
>>5296883
He's always had one of my favorite designs as Hot Rod. Rodimus...Not so much. Sticking flames on a camper doesn't make it a cool vehicle sadly, at least, far as the original toy is concerned. I'd rather a Voyager HR and a Leader Rodimus. They could even just do a 3rd remold of Magnus for it, to mimic his old opening trailer gimmick.
>>5296896
>Classics BB
>expensive
I've seen it for $15~20 CAD on toy cons MOC. So that's still basically pretty much the retail value.
>>5296896
Classics bumblebee. There's so many in the $20 range on eBay right now. Even in package.
Are you just making shit up because you want another unneeded bumblebee?
>>5295822
I think this will become the first transformer toy I ever buy that is a retool of an existing toy I own.
As far as retools go, though, this is possibly the most extensive retool in Transformers history, isn't it?
I think the feet and thighs are the only unaltered part, and the arms and legs look like they have significantly different engineering to them.
>>5297058
>the most extensive retool in Transformers history, isn't it?
What the hell are you talking about? Have you only been collecting for a week or something?
>>5296546
HA!
You are too close to being possible.
Minimus Ambus has a (gay) brother named Dominus Ambus who went missing at the onset of the war.
I could totally see them going back and saying that he went missing because right before Orion became Optimus, he got a massive injury, and that Dominus was chosen to merge with him to keep his functions going, and given the code name Apex
I'd hate it, but I can see them doing it.
I dunno though, I actually bet Spike will end up being his headmaster.
The fact that in IDW, the guy who invented headmasters was Nexus Prime, who's artifact creates combiners, and was sent to earth, was allied with Onyx Prime, who ALSO went to earth, and that Prime is about to head to earth seems to be a pretty strong indicator that all these "masters" are going to be earthlings.
I am so excited for this toy though. I have the original too.
>>5297073
No, I've been collecting for 27 years.
I missed most of the unicron trilogy though.
What are some good PCC guys? What are some I should avoid? I got Bombshock (no drones tho) and I love him.
>>5297081
>a (gay) brother
These are alien robots that at that time had no females. He can't be gay, he just is.
>>5297058
>As far as retools go, though, this is possibly the most extensive retool in Transformers history, isn't it?
I'd say that title actually goes to Swindle/Rook of Combiner Wars.
>>5297098
nope, IDW has females.
In fact, they ALWAYS had females, and the race just convinced themselves it was a myth after they all left.
>>5297093
Heavytread is the single best PCC, but honestly I like all of them a lot. Undertow is one of my favorites too.
>>5297106
>Swindle/Rook of Combiner Wars.
I was tempted to say that was the only one I could think of that would be a contender, but then I realized that there's no engineering alterations, like with Prime, and that all the tires are the same (unlike Prime)
>>5297111
>nope, IDW has females.
NOW they do. At that time they did not and no one remembered for some stupid reason. You can't be "gay" when there's only one sex.
>>5297126
Sorry, but that's not how it works.
They're gay.
>people think Cybertronians weren't gay
Wow, way to discriminate.
>>5297093
Leadfoot.
>>5297093
Huffer is good. Steer clear of that one sports car one.
>>5297161
As long as his white shoulder pads don't crack and fall off.
>>5297173
Which I've never had happen. Sucks to be you.
>>5297176
Yep, it's my middle name.
>>5296684
I've been thinking about alternatives for Bruticus. I think a MSG knife might work but he really needs a great-big-fuck-off-gun to wield. I wonder if the G1 gun would fit?
>>5297126
Do the fems even really count as female? I thought they were just another model when it came down to it.
>>5297194
They use feminine pronouns, so yeah, female.
>>5297093
Smoulder
>>5296248
I rewatch G1 all the time, retard. Try again.
>>5296387
>I wouldn't mind getting a new Jazz
This.
HA Jazz is nice but having a Solstice of that size on a display with anything else is just ridiculous.
>>5295281
>>5295284
TRYPTICON MASTER RACE
>>5297257
>vote
Yeah, because the last two times worked out so well. Can't wait to see how they fuck up the "winner."
>>5297304
They're not gonna rest everything on fan voting. Toys, molds, assembly, etc, all takes months of planning and production to get right. No, everything is already set up, it's probably being produced right now.
We're just determining the release order most likely.
>>5297326
Wonky
Nice 69 combination though
>>5297326
Oh, and he also has a pin head
>>5297352
Yeah, that guy looks pretty awful proportion-wise.
>>5297352
So he would fit in on a Funpub shelf.
>>5297093
Searchlight, the helicopter one is good. Basically, most of the mini-con sets are alright.
is there a reason that generations idw megatron/g2 dreadwing have hinged panels on the sides of their shins? They don't seem to do anything.
>>5297420
just to bulk the shins i guess
i really wish that mold was better made
>>5297428
It's okay. I just wish the wing tips were integrated and it wasn't a floppy mess when parts are untabbed for transformation.
>>5297420
It's purely for bulk. Pretty useless.
>tfw Buzzclaw has an account at TFW
Egad.
>>5297430
my main prob with him is the chest that come unhinged everytime i pose him
>>5296815
I think for my sky reign I'll use Ironhide and Trailbreaker with Prowl and Smokescreen for symmetry. I might grab Hound for the hell of it though 50/50 on Wheeljack because that mold is shame and I have Gen Jack.
>>5297478
Grabbing Hound, Wheeljack, and Trailbreaker for sure, as I don't own any figs of them. Are there any good, recent Hound's that aren't 3P?
>>5296815
If you have any of the Defensor bots you can use their fists.
>>5297505
Shit. Didn't even think of that. I don't use the stock feet for him so I'll do that. Thanks!
>>5297081
More like GB Blackrock is Dominus Ambus. Something happened to Dominus and he got trapped in a human form with no memory (a major plotline for the series currently is that Blackrock is getting everyone on Earth to use ancient Cybertronian tech on their computers and they have all but stated that there are no records of Blackrock existing prior to a couple of years ago, as well as Blackrock having huge gaps in his memory he is having Spike research for him to find out who he really is).
That said, they had a perfect chance to wrap up the Dominus storyline a couple of issues ago via having him turn out to be dead but they pulled a "PSYCHE!!!!" bullshit twist afterwords to keep the storyline going even though the writers have shown zero sign of giving a fuck about wrapping up their plots
Generations update when?
>>5297538
Didn't they have a vehicle like that in M.A.S.K.?
>>5297538
I'd rather have Generations Dropshot.
>ROBOT
>PLANE
>HORSE
>>5297550
Plenty of room for a Robot Unicorn Attack repaint, too.
>>5297561
>dead meme game
Yeah. That'll fly off the shelves.
>>5296853
Unless you're taking it up the tailpipe.
>>5296368
hello anon. 3d print comp man here, got first shipment from shapeways last week, fucked up on most things. pistol doesn't fit (due to weird dead end hands being too big) and shoulder rifles don't hold well either, chest plate fits but doesn't fit into vehicle mode. head also sucks in general, so have to work on that.. not extremely upset and happy to see it on my desk. fixed up most of the things and the second shipent should be here soonish along with scattorshot's shoulder pieces.
>>5297738
Question about the head. Did you just pop it off or did you have to unscrew/pry it apart?
Damn, CW Devastator's sale is over. Oh well. I was only considering him because he went on sale, guess I'll wait until he goes on sale again at some point. If he ever does.
Is Heinrad a good toy?
>>5297776
No. But it is a functioning clock raccoon with giant balls transforming robot, so it's still worth it.
>>5295583
>movies that are still better written than G1
Hope you are not cpunting the 1986 movie there because that one is a lot better written and directed than all the Bay movies together.
>>5297783
Both bay franchise tf movies and 86 tf movie suck. Just in different ways.
Have there been any CHUG Slag/Snarl/Swoop releases? Or is all 3rd party stuff only at this point?
Saw another review for brawl from somebody I never heard of.
Looks like the figure really is shit and not just idiocy by optipotobotomus.
>>5297788
The platinium set and nothing else, well, energon Swoop works alright but hes a bit too expensive nowadays.
>>5297794
Got a link?
>>5297788
3rd parties have a line of dinobots based on their FOC designs.
Energon had a really shitty combining grimlock and swoop set.
Cybertron Brimstone would've made a passable swoop but they've never made a repaint like that...
PCC has a passable Slag torso(called brimstone) and a bunch of assorted dino limbs in G1 Dinobot colors.
Lastly, a set of AOE dinobots with new g1-ish heads and colors was released a while ago.
>>5297788
Unless you count the Platinum retool of the SDCC set, there haven't been any actual CHUG Dinobots besides Grimlock.
>>5297799
There's also TF Animated Slag and Swoop. They kinda? work?
>>5297796
Go to about 3:00.

Guy has shit audio, horrible boring drone voice, and the camera work makes me want to puke.
