Old Thread: >>5298212
Why has Transformers had so few crossovers edition?
I'd love to see a transformer crossover with a lot of 80's properties. Imagine an Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, the Delorean from Back to the Future, maybe some of the classic Cobra tanks from GI Joe as Decepticons, and other stuff. Thundercats tank Autobot, anyone? Etc.
Other than that, Bruticus when, /toy/? He's gotta be hitting those store shelves soon, right?
>>5301079
Bruticus will be on shelves mid December
UW won't be till mid summer at the current rate
1) Hasbro needs the license. You aren't getting half that stuff otherwise. Even with the license, the licensor has to go along with it.
2) Certain properties like GI Joe are hard to sell international, if at all. Joe barely lives in the US as it is.
3) If Tomy doesn't want to mess with it then Hasbro handles it on their end without help, and we've seen how "well" Marvel and SW were designed compared to normal TFs. Very few of them were regarded well- only 2 I liked were Captain America/Hummer and Vader/Death Star and a lot of them were borderline terrible.
>>5301079
im thinking about just getting hasbros because of money (need a new car) and takaras being so far away. idk i might end up getting both.
The only crossover I want is goddamn Beast Wars/Godzilla.
>>5301108
Beyond Brawl's janky waist, it seems to be a solid set. If they end up fixing it in a later wave (since "running change" is gonna be a thing), it shouldn't be too hard to grab the fixed version.
I always wanted the Thundertank to have a bot mode.
Don't care which incarnation they use either.
>>5301079
I want an ae86 Jazz.
>>5301090
6 month wait for Blast Off instead of Take Off? worth it.
>>5300583
>That... looks surprisingly close. You think Maketoys is planning a Trypticon remold?
They mentioned it was originally going to be Trypticon, but that they couldn't make it work.
>>5301164
It's probably going to be remolded as Trypticon when they get it to work.
Where my binary-bonded brethren at?
>>5301079
If you didn't vote for Trypticon, you should kill yourself.
>>5301203
>2015
>interfacing with organics
>>5301203
Scorponok 2017.
Trypticon will only be worth it if they include an optional horn accessory and some green stickers/Predacon emblems so you can make it into Gigastorm for those who wish to.
Gigastorm wouldn't warrant a new release since it's like 95% identical otherwise.
At least Omega or Scorponok have full redeco potential.
>>5301221
Like all good Americans, I'm not going to vote and then bitch about the results anyway.
>>5301079
Too many rights issues. They could likely do any paramount property. Sooo..... Star Trek? Top Gun? Mission Impossible? They just dont have the franchises to be able to do it.
>>5301254
And that's why you don't work as a toy designer.
>>5301265
I would buy a triple crossover autobot leader 1 F-14 if it included a Maverick figurine, ...add a Broadside with a stand post to pose the F-14 passing by the control tower.
>>5301271
And Trypticon probably won't be released by 2017 at least.
It's more likely we'll get a Titans Trypticons before then.
>>5301294
I thought the deal was it'd be out this coming fall.
The whole 2 year turnover thing to make a Transformer is over.
H/T likely has the concept art already done for all three.
>>5301271
>And that's why you don't work as a toy designer.
Oh look, someone with poor reading skills. Do tell, what toy company do you work for?
>Trypticon & Gigastorm are almost identical save for a single piece and some minor paint apps, that warrants 2 totally separate retail releases! I'm so smart!
At least with Omega you have the Guardian robots, the pre-TF version or the pre-TF odd-colored KOs, or Energon. Scorponok has Black Zarak. You're practically Greg.
>>5301079
If they could somehow kajigger up a BttF DeLorean with flip-down hover tires (and opening doors if we're really shooting for the moon), I would buy 50.
>>5301203
If Scorponok doesn't win I'm going to still buy the winner, but be mildly miffed about it.
>>5301364
I'll be happy as long as it isn't Omega.
>>5301079
>the Delorean from Back to the Future
They could easily to a Spychanger one with a swivel-waist, then they could use the coolant vents as feet.
>>5301271
I hope the Titan Trypticon we get looks nothing like that lump of shit.
>>5301079
Woah shit, I was coming home thinking about asking you guys this. We're like conjoined by the brain or something.
Anyway, I'd like to see Aya from GL:TAS get a ship to bot figure. maybe have some glow in the dark bits and a blue lantern ring that shines ultraviolet light to power her glowy spots up.
>>5301391
>maybe have some glow in the dark bits
>mfw Takara gives her giant glowing lantern tits headlights
>tfw you prefer jet Vlastov but you don't want to own both molds and know you won't be able to sell shuttle Vlastov without its normal faceplated head or with a recasted head
>>5301131
I wanted a space shuttle blastoff the most. I can deal with everyone else its just blast off i have a beef with.
>>5301382
Agreed, I don't usually say tryhard but it is in every respect. Bad proportions all around.
>>5301454
>there are people out there who thought making Blast Off a jet with the wrong fucking headsculpt was completely acceptable
>there are people out there who didn't think it would be a better idea to make the Jet a new character called Take-Off and release the Jaanese Blast Off mold later as the real Blast Off.
This shit is why Pearl Harbour happened.
>>5301466
all those people are hasbro apologists of the worst sort.
>>5301466
It hurts even more now that they revealed a G2 set, and it also has the jet Blast-Off.
My hopes for Ruination were dashed.
>>5301079
>so few crossovers
wut
>>5301203
I voted Scorp
Tryp was way in the lead though
is generations blurr any good? will hasbro be making a newer blurr anytime soon?
>>5301477
Yeah, it's unfortunate.
I'm wondering how the Chinese will vote. If the got the Headmasters anime they might give Scorponok/Megazarak a big boost.
I wonder if Titan Scorponok would be a double Headmaster.
>>5301483
>how the Chinese will vote.
They don't vote
>>5301490
I went back and looked at the Titan Wars Fort Max and I'm pretty sure they'll just alter him to create Scorp.
We know fort max's front in base mode is the back of Metroplex's which means he's got his arms out front and legs in the back
wouldn't take much at all to put those legs back and forward, and replace his hands with claws.
>>5301500
I really hope it's not another retool. I don't mind them reusing Cerebros, but making him another Metroplex retool would be terrible.
I'm already skipping Fortress Maximus since he shares too much with Metroplex.
>>5301491
As part of Hasbro's new The Search For More Money™ program, the Chinese will get a chance to vote for the next titan.
Democracy may lose but it seems that capitalism always wins.
>>5301482
Theres been rumors that the '86 movie cast might be getting new molds in the Titan stuff since some of them were Targetmasters in G1, but no one knows for sure. All we know is there is a Galvatron coming, and we got Cyclonus with CW, so it seems like they at least might keep giving us new '86 movie releases.
>>5301512
Seriously? Most of them already have releases.
The only one's who hasn't gotten a new modern figure is Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime (unless you want to count the Blackjack retool, I don't), the rest got new figures in the last 5 years.
>>5301466
>>5301467
Jet Blast Off is fine by me. He fits the military theme of the rest of them, thats for sure. The wrong head sculpt seems fucking retarded though. Would I mind a space ship version? No. But am I going to wait the year it'll take Takara to shit out a UW version? Also no.
The real problem here is the clusterfuck of Brawl's chest and how that shit made it past any sort of QC, prototype stage, or even anyone just going "Holy shit this is retarded, no, fuck no, fire whoever let this travesty make it past some idle wet dream of a down syndrome child."
>>5301512
then i'll hold off abit
though i fear it might be a repaint of the CW deadend mold
>>5301518
Given I only started collecting recently some new '86 movie character releases would be fine by me. Gotta remember, 5 years is a long time to anyone who isn't a collector (aka: children, parents, and I guess new collectors like me?).
>>5301522
Well, it's only rumors. No one has confirmed anything, and like any rumor, theres a good chance it could just be wishlisting. If you REALLY want that Generations Blurr, you might want to just go for it, given no one knows if we'll actually see any of them redone.
>>5301512
one of the rumors that hasn't come true yet of that massive set that did was that there would be a "beastly" alpha trion
that certainly sounds like it's designed with remolding into scourge in mind, like how Sentinel Prime is clearly designed to be remolded into astrotrain.
So Blaster, Astrotrain, Scourge, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Devastator, Ultra Magnus, Arcee it certainly is sounding like they're doing updates on most of the movie characters.
I'd bet we'll get a perceptor too
>>5301526
And most of the recent Hasbro molds are shit. The only good one is Ultra Magnus. With exception to Galvatron and Hot Rod (who is getting a MP), almost all the older molds like SCyclonus and Scourge and Kup and Wreck-Gar are going to be superior. For Galvatron the Energon version or the 3P Mania King are going to be better than that hollow piece of shit.
only thing I'm excited to see from cw is the liokaiser made from deathsaurus and the breast force
>>5301526
goddamn thats a stupid place to equip a cannon
how is that pratical to aim????
>>5301532
i love blurr, but that generations mold is pretty shit as blurr, way too bulky
>>5301538
It still feels really weird to see stuff like Sentinal Prime first when it's clear the mold is going to be used primarily for Astrotrain. Why not just release Astrotrain first, then save something less well known for later?
>>5301548
because you can shield your eyes while you fire
also, if it's attached to your forarm, you risk damaging it whenever you throw a punch. But if it's attached higher up, it will likely be at a different angle when you punch.
>>5301560
Animated one is good is better. (imo). And it fits him more as a sleek racer bot (also my opinion).
>>5301570
because autobots sell better
a fan favorite like astrotrain is very likely to not take a hit in sales by simply coming out later, but Sentinel would get a boost by coming out first.
>>5301574
But won't people just skip a no-name and hold out for Astro?
>>5301456
It just barely looks like a dinosaur. I have no love for any WFC design, and breathed a huge sigh of relief when we got the Titan Metroplex that was practically a perfect G1 guy instead.
>>5300927
>She fucking hamhands everything
>terrifying childlike smile while doing it
>snaps the fucking leg off bonecrusher in 2 mins flat
>holds up the mangled end product like she deserves a medal
Jesus christ how horrifying
>>5301626
Where in the video does the leg come off? I wish to see that bit but don't want to search through 3 hours of moonspeak to find it.
What's the point in voting anyway? Omega is going to win, because "HURR DURR DEVASTATOR NEEDS HIS COMPANION" and Trypticon and Scorponok will never see the light of day.
>>5301700
Also because he's an Autobot and nobody buys Decepticons anymore. Why else are all the CW filler teams Autobots?
>>5301466
>Wrong headsculpt
Slingshot's head is fine, they didn't need Firefly's faceplacte. They probably picked Slingshot over Firefly because they have a more similar visor. Firefly's head looks nothing like Blast-Off, not ever with the plate.

So which one will you own or already have?
>>5301836
own hasbro, have 2 third party kits on the way then devy is done.
>>5301838
they must of devastated your wallet
>>5301836
I got UW on pre-order. I liked the fact they have elbows even though he'll stay combined.
>>5301867
>better paint apps
>more articulation
>more weapons
Its a better package regardless of how much actual use the new things get
>>5301079
ok in the last thread i got a open handed Arcee...should i file down the gun so she can hold it properly?
>>5301221
I'm gonna liiiiiiiiive!
>>5301362
hey that's pretty good.
>>5301434
hahahaha Arcee riding turret
>>5301483
China is gonna fuck this up for us all.
.>>5301526
i'm fine certain characters getting new molds. I didn't like every figure they did previously like Perceptor...too overtly complicated and easy to break.
>>5301836
None of them they are all shit.
>>5301909
Would that count the g1 as well or are we a third party kinda guy?
>>5301911
I'm counting everything including the 3Ps!
>>5301918
>someone that actually hates all current devastators
Never thought I'd see one, a fair call, none are perfect, and apart from engineer general which is more an action figure than a transformer none really work properly for devastator.
Only chance we'd ever see a perfect one would be if they somehow made mp gestalts.
Unless you just hate devastator in general, which is fine
>>5301836
Got the SDCC and I'll just buy my Perfect effect upgrade set because I personally do like the chrome on my SDCC version.
Could always buy the Takara if I want to.
>>5301929
Best Devastator would be upscaled Hulkie T B H FAMILIA.
>>5301909
you are a true 4chan man
So
Add on for CW Ultra Magnus
Should I?
>>5302026
I can agree that the toy he has a few limitations as is, but that kit definitely gets close to "just make a new toy" territory.
>>5302026
Wrist joints are okay.
The rest is kind of unnecessary.
>>5302026
Aren't the feet backwards in that pic? you'll get ankle tilt and wrist rotation, but the later is alomost useless because of the arm armor, don't know why they gave him the God Magnus shins tho
>>5302053
>Aren't the feet backwards in that pic
No because it's attached in the front and the sloping heel part needs to clear the rest of the leg.
>>5301362
I like pic related more. They're both sideswipe custums
>>5301548
That's how he held it in G1, dummy.
Is it stupid? yeah. But it's accurate
>>5301746
I love it. Looks like it's from Transformers Devastation
>>5302056
Then is just a weird design, looks like he doesn't have "toes".
>>5301744
>>5301745
>>5301746
>the painted on "shine" on the lenses and windscreen
Yup, that looks good.
>>5302065
i know, but dammit it rubs me the wrong way
like how the g1 seekers held nullrays the same way
>>5302073
Much like me with the wing insignias upside down when in bot form despite it also showing in g1.
>>5301844
You would think so.
Not that anon, but I got devy and the PE elbow kit and it only cost 170 all together including shipping.
>>5301871
Jesus Christ. You still don't need a picture every time you post, autovolt. We can read you got an arcee. We don't need an image of a comic book panel for you to prove that.
>>5301143
>japan exclusive
>big pricetag
Call him RipOff
Hasbro price for a combiner: $90
Takara price with new mold and paint: $130
Worth it
>>5301079
It's a shame that UW Devy's art is identical to Hasbros. The other UW toys got new sexy artwork
>>5302154
>>5302154
Good thing the box is just trash ones the toys are out anyways.
>>5301540
Springer is amazing. I could go for a new blurr though, drift blurr was fucking dumb.
Why Takara? Are you colorblind?
>>5302188
Huh, that sucks. Maybe it's to add some more color to robot mode? Disclaimer, I have no idea what that area becomes in robot mode.
>>5301706
Will they be stable though? This guy has to have a lot of weight put on him. I'm worried the reason why he didn't have elbows in the first place is because he'd buckle under the weight of the full gestalt mode.
>>5302188
WELP looks like I'm getting the Hasbro version
>>5301871
Don't compromise the integrity of an already fragile part, no. So don't sand or fuck up her hand.
>>5302026
What the shot is with those legs? Fix the feet sure, but the legs otherwise were fine.
Hows Generations Kup? Just found him fairly cheap. Good fig, bad, what?
>>5302262
The figure's pretty good, but his transformation is really complicated and I find his alt mode to be a little silly.
Just get the upgrade kit for a a more accurate head
>>5302276
The two halves of the treads are shockingly different shades of purple
>>5302277
Yes and what...?
>>5302282
It offends the sensibilities of true fans of G1 for its garishly non-matching colors
>>5302282
Some expect better from Takara, after all. they are paying "premium" lol.
>>5302188
>No! Not muh takara! They can do no wrong!
I'll just stick with Hasbros. I also don't like the individual guns at all, just extra unnecessary pieces. Who need tiny guns when you have Devastator and his giant gun? Hell Devastator himself barely needs that.
>>5302292
>not having your combiner teams on display fighting uncombined as a team as often as them combined
I just hope you don't like Lucky Star or your shit taste would be breaking through the roof.
Its happening!
>>5302306
>>5302311
What? you don't want the Bruticus wave hitting retail?
>>5302306
Yeaaaah no. Wake me up when the Takara version comes out so it hopefully isn't a shitty red Superion in combined mode
>>5302306
This means Onslaught could be out soon right? Where are you Anon?
>>5302188
Purple photographs badly. And even if the color does look slightly mismatched I'll take it if it means better articulation.
>>5302320
Not my pic, I took it from tfw2005 "Voyager Scattorshot has been spotted at a Target in Houston, TX. No sign of his wave mate, Onslaught, but one can deduce that he is also out in the wild as well."
>>5302327
>Texas
Shit. I hope it's not spreading out from West to East.
>>5302317
Looking at how they haven't showed Galvatronus yet I don't think we will see their Computron until late 2016, if they even do it, we will be on wave 3 or 4 of Titans Return by then.
>>5302306
Something seems odd with that Sea Clamp.
>>5302352
I'd rather be patient and get the toy that actually looks good than impulse buy the turd looking hasbro version.
>>5302364
How's that takara cock taste? Salty with a hint of soy sauce?
>>5302375
Their cock probably tastes better than hasbro's aswell.
>>5302387
Are they even seperate parts on the hasbro version?
>>5302188
>>5302277
How much of a nerdy autist do you have ot be to complain about this shit? it's negligible as fuck.
Buy the toy, enjoy it. Not difficult
>>5302156
I like how the UW artwork still manages to be more accurate to Hasbro Devy than the CW art
>>5302396
Takara fuckboys point out and complain about the smallest things 99% of the time. Why can't the Hasbro fans?
>>5302250
well i sanded down the weapons and i'm good.
not gonna bother with the swords.
which characters would rock Arcee's Swords?
>>5302433
How about RTS Laser Prime? the original toy had a big blue sword, this way the update gets smaller blue swords
>>5302433
Her swords are the best part. Either sand them a bit too then, or just keep them in her leg holsters.
Kind of sad my CW Prime came with 2 guns instead of his traditional gun+his bigass laser axe.
Hey /toy/, just got my Devastator in from the Amazon sale. 2 day Prime shipping, bitches! Plus I had $100 in gift cards so I literally paid like $15 after taxes.
He's pretty good but mine is unfortunately missing a small piece. Scavenger's vehicle cockpit is on a small hinge that can come off, and I either never had that part to begin with or it came off during an initial transformation and I never saw it. Anyone got any advice?
Other than that he's pretty good. I don't care about the Hasbro version's missing elbows or guns or whatever else; I bought this to have a huge ass fucking Devastator.
>>5302473
I wish he had a melee weapon as well.
>>5302478
Sounds like an unrecoverable issue, your only solution is to find a gun and put an end to it all right away.
>>5302478
The only thing I can think of is calling up Hasbro for a replacement part/figure, or Amazon for a whole new Dev.
>>5302471
The original's sword was clear and lit up red if you put it in his fist and lit him up.
BBTS has started their Black Friday sales and is clearancing out TFs. Amongst some of the great buys are Windblade for $7 and Chromia for $10, so if you've been sleeping on your grillbots and want to catch up, now is a good time. They also have Roadbuster for $15 which is crazy good.
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/list.aspx?list=20404
>>5302522
I'm not saying the deals aren't great but this reads like such a shill post
>>5302530
Not a shill. I just saw it while I was checking something else out and thought I'd give a heads up since I already had the thread open.
>>5302546
Roadbuster looks great but, fuck me, those sad fucking shit shoulders.
>>5302522
>http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS23290&mode=retail

LOL as much as I want that Chromia I'm better off just buying the Japanese version since I still see them for around $35~40 CAD "free shipping" on ebay every now and then.
>>5302488
Amazon.
Hasbro Will send have you return dev for products of equal value.
>>5302549
The shoulders are fine though.
>>5302522
>Arcee/Chromia is $32
>Chromia is $10
Jeez, Arcee is the same price as importing the Takara release from HLJ
>>5302593
well i ordered mine weeks ago and just got mine so i dunno what to feel.
>>5302593
The Takara and Hasbro release getting closer in price is a combination of a) Hasbro being a bunch skinflints that only want money and b) the Yen's depreciation.
I'm looking at getting nightbird.
I don't have any form of that mold. Does she have ankle tilts? Ab/waist articulation?
>>5302627
IIRC she's just Generations Arcee with a different head/paint. Arcee has no side ankle tilts, but her feet can go back/forward to a large degree, and has no waist swivel.
>I'd love to see a transformer crossover with a lot of 80's properties. Imagine an Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, the Delorean from Back to the Futur
Bazinga I love 80s nerd culture :^)

reeeeee
>>5301221
inb4 he loses and we're stuck with a lot more man-formers that we dont get enough of, right guys?
>>5302637
But Transformers is a shitty 80's thing.
>>5302643
you share the same tastes with normies. the problem is simple. all 80s culture is cancer
>>5302637
and the Gadgetmobile, the TMNT car. and also the Mock 5. Even though we got Animated Blurr, i want an official one :^D
>>5302652
80's culture is great
It's the normies who are the cancer
>>5302658
80s culture was made for normies. it is merely cancer seeing how everyone fanwanks over childhood nostalgia
>>5302658
>80s culture is great
Ronald Raegen was the devil
>>5302659
What else should I do instead then other than live through other people's nostalgia?
The things I liked a a child are no longer existent or have lost the reasons why I liked them.
>>5302658
Transfags sure are a cancerous leftover of all 80s manchildren. better than the bazinga audience who are average people with happy normal lives
>>5302661
they shouldnt force their way into shit.
>>5302677
Soul of Chogokin Sunny, Razor, Meddy and Kojiro when?
>Stuff from the Bruticus wave is apparently available online, and we still have no idea how the Takara version will look.
I regret not getting this back in 2005-06.
https://youtu.be/MtGnpqEzwwE
>>5302695
Probably like the show-model variant but with different paint apps and Blast Off being changed with either a retool of something or a new mold.
>>5302704
The problem is I can't just buy Onslaught on a later date since his colors will change.
On the other hand, Takara might just give Bruticus his toy colors, meaning I'll waste money on the first Onslaught.
>>5302724
If Onslaught is the only one you are getting from the US release, then just keep him in packaging and return if the Takara one matches what you want and don't if you like the other Onslaught better.
>>5302724
Just buy the first run Onslaught, if takara does the silver chest you can always re-sell your hasbro to someone getting late into CW Bruticus, pretty sure the silver chested Onslaught will be rising its price when the olive one hits.
>>5302406
Because even with this autysmally minor color difference, the figures are much better.
Not like it really matters anyway since the figures are total oversized trash, no matter who puts them out.
>>5302316
Don't care since Takara's will be superior. Easy passes all around.
>>5302788
That you hope are better.
>>5302650
Its anime, its ok because Japan.
>>5302376
Cock is cock.
>>5302837
Normal people don't use terms like "rape childhood", because transformers is just a silly cartoon for children.
>>5302304
Fuck you.

I would think rewatching G1 would do that more than Michael Bay.

>The things I liked a a child are no longer existent or have lost the reasons why I liked them.
I think that the main reason I hate being poor and liking toys at the same time is because of retards like you.
You barely enjoy this hobby because you're shit at appreciating what's in front of you.
The 80s were mediocre but memorable because things were still being put to test, your childhood is a Dorian Gray's portrait stuffed in a closet, and you're a broken man.

Thank you for the current state of anime.
How is the BBTS replacement policy? I ordered a case of Bruticus limbs and got a defective Vortex that has a problem that hinders transformation. Has anyone had a similar experience? If I contact BBTS will they send a replacement?
>>5302875
They also have figures I REALLY want at reasonable prices, but I have to buy a ridiculously expensive club membership to use their show AND they don't accept PayPal.
Fuck everything.
>>5302879
Woah, they're already out? Cool.
>>5302883
Buy a prepaid visa card. Then if your card number is leaked, it won't matter because it was a prepaid card, and is thus useless to scammers.
>>5302885
Yeah, the limbs are out.
>>5302879
I got a Magnus with a missing wheel, they send it fast without any extra charge, but without a tracking number.
>>5302877
So then I should be getting what instead?
>>5302904
Try something that won't kick off a feeling as stupid as nostalgia for commercial franchises.
Read a book, nigger.
>>5302911
Books were mostly written before my birth. Same nostalgia pandering.
>>5302902
Thanks. Did you have to send a picture to them of the problem or something, or return the defective figure by a certain time? I'm just a little concerned because I had to open it to see the problem, and I hope that doesn't mean it voids it.
>>5302914
>Books were mostly written before my birth
Woah, I read about dumb people before but goddamn man.
>>5302914
Not for cashgrabs.
You can look into the past wtihout having to feel a longing for it.
>but then what's my motivation
Stop being entitled.
>>5302918
Yeah, had to send them a couple of pictures describing the issue, but it was just a missing piece, you may have to return it.

By shitposting about it every day for the rest of your fucking life.

Never let a bimbo handle your TF gentlemen.
>>5303054
Yes. We already saw this in the last thread.
>>5303054
>even the Japs are confused by Mixmaster's design
Which do you prefer?
An overly simplistic transformation, or a frustratingly complex/complicated process?
>>5303122
The third option: Classics Bumblebee.
>>5303122
I hope you're not trying to get people to fling shit at each other.
I prefer complex transformations more because the engineering of Transformers is the main appeal for me, but a simpler transformation that is used to give better looking modes, i.e. FE Optimus, is also fine by me. Every shortcut that fails to do that is shit and should get people fired.
>>5303122
I like something that takes more effort than just a few folds. I love beast wars but they gave up on effort when they realized that they can use hind legs as robot legs.
To their defense they only have so much to work with since they aren't vehicles.
>>5303133
They did try, though most noticeable on the predacons, but not using the animal legs when they make up so much of the animals' mass would've been worse.
Cheetor's backpacks were all due to them avoiding to use the cheeta's front legs, Optimus and Megatron just couldn't be helped.
>>5303122
I prefer something that is structurally sound in both robot and vehicle mode. Stuff that tabs in correctly, doesn't come apart, and has good articulation.
Whether that counts as simple or complex, you decide.
>>5303148
Primal made up for it for his awesome robot mode. Id want an awesome generations of him, but not much has to be improved. Maybe better ankle and wrist articulation?
What do you guys think the chances are of MP Ironhide getting a $30 KO?
>>5303178
A better question is how can you trust those chinese imports?
>>5303178
Probably more like the mid 40s, and not for 6 months to a year after it comes out. Remember Bumblebee just now got a KO.
>>5303167
Sadly, Generations doesn't seem too concerned about including gimmicks and those were Primal's entire thing.
Armada Starscream had his flip out cannons skimmed over in his Gen. version; if A. Megatron can combine with Tidal Wave is because of its insane compatibility, guy is like a symbiote; Rhinox's chainguns were nice though.
>>5303182
Buy all MP as KOs.
>>5303189
The thing is that it still had his gimmick of the cannons but it didn't fuck with the figure like the original. You can still do the same actions without the figuring ruining innards.
>>5303204
Not really.
It had the cannons, but they were the default cannons what flipped in and out. Gen. A. Starscream still lacks the second set of cannons the original had.
>>5303210
But they were still flipping cannons.
>>5303215
I guess so?
>>5303210
>Gen. A. Starscream still lacks the second set of cannons the original had.
>second set of cannons
Are you sure you were playing with Armada Starscream?
>>5303228
The old one had molded, non-functional cannons with the real working cannons on a spring-actioned hinge built behind them.
>>5303227
They are cannons that flip out. There's literally no reason to say you guess so.
>>5303264
Still not MUH CANNONS.
>>5303252
>The old one had molded, non-functional cannons
Those were air scoops. They were never ever depicted as weapons of any kind in any media.
>>5303288
Still flip out cannons. The gimmick is still there.
>>5303252
You are the first person I've ever heard of since Armada first came out that saw those yellow bits as cannons.
>>5303292
What are you talking about? there is no "flip out" cannons on gen ss. the only movement involved is pressing the trans orange pieces to set off the pressure missiles. they are the same in jet mode and robot mode.
>>5302872

That's the avant-garde, expressionist episode.
>Bumblebee being human-sized represented his closeness to his human allies.
>Defensor one-shotting Bruticus was just to represent the futility of fighting evil even while possessing overwhelming power, evil can't be foiled by force alone.
>Swindle seeling the Combaticons is also a commentary of American foreign policies at the time and a throwback to the Cuban missile crisis.
>The college kids stealing Brawl's brain represented humanity's ambition to control forces beyond them.
>Megatron's threat to Swindle represents how even in all its trickiness, evil is going to be judged and used for higher purposes.
>The girl being tied and gagged was just fetish shit.
>>5303306
The cannons flip from facing up to facing forward.
>>5303348
>mfw everything but the last line is actually a valid reading of those elements

... Texas is in the middle of the country.
Also, probably half of the waves in the last 2 years started in Texas, so it means you should expect typical releases.
In fact, expect to see them this weekend...
Titan wars suck.
It's thr same problem with old headmasters. Lose the head and you havr a useless toy.
>>5303515
You're either drunk or your trolling is awful.
>>5303515
That's exactly why the head/mini vehicle two packs exist.
>>5303515
I like Titan Wars for the actual headmaster characters. But I hate how they're doing the same thing they did with combiner wars with "let's force this gimmick across the entire fucking line even with characters it doesn't fit with."
I want a Galvatron with a regular head, not a bloaty weird looking headmaster head because of some silly gimmick.
Actually, scratch that, it's worse than combiner wars, because at least combiner wars didn't force it on the leader class toys.
>>5303526
>entire line
Not every combiner wars figure was a combiner or combined.
>>5303419
That would be awesome as fuck if they did show up here on the East coast this weekend, but I'm not going to hold my breath for it.
i just want this tiny fella
