You have no idea how long you can live without catching that shit.
I made a note at 22 that I was having Christmas alone because I fuck up and cut off to many social interactions. Since then I've pulled my life together thanks to always being in view when I had it hang in my room
My childhood friend however went full NEET and try to kill himself last week (turn 33) because it hit him that he really did waste his life and felt it was impossible to change it and he feels he can't live a scrap life he has.

Found another visual solution to Brawls lack of abs, you can fit FoC Prime crotch panel, just had to cut a tab on it, Brawl looks better and keeps his waist rotation.
>>
>>5349676
All these "solutions" for brawl are awful. You either sacrifice something on brawl or fuck up another toy.

And every solution looks bad or ruins articulation.

How about we wait and see if there are running changes or some cheap 3P thing.
>>
>>5349684
>3P

Choose one.
>>
>>5349691
If it's something as small as a gap filler those can usually be pretty cheap. Especially shapeways. I'll take that over taking parts from other toys I like.

Considering nonnef is so focused on CW right now and he has really good 3P prices, it can very easily happen.

So does anyone know what they're getting for Christmas?

I bought a Hot Spot a couple months ago and hadn't unboxed him yet, and my mom was perplexed about what to get me TF-wise, so I just handed him to her and said she could wrap him and stick him under the tree.

>>5349734

Everything I bought the last 3 months was my Christmas gift to myself, since my family is poor.
>>
>>5349730
I agree, but it's still an issue that takara didn't fix on their release.
>>
>>5349738
Oh yeah. I mean it looks great having the sculpted and painted details replaced with the taint and factory numbers while looking like an old man that pulled his pants up to high. Glad you're able to settle for that glorious "fix" with the waist articulation removed for good measure.
>>
>>5349749

So then wait for a Takara release and hope they re-engineer the entire figures waist and any accompanying changes to accomodate it, because thats the only way it's getting fixed unless Hasbro decides to with their running change.

And everyone else who is fine with it can get the current version.
>>
>>5349727
>Yeah. Just like they fixed Motormaster's, Hot Spot's, and all six Constructicon's issues, huh?

ftfy ;)
>>
>>5349755
Again. I'm not buying a bruticus set because I have issues with one of the figures. That's why I mentioned in my first comment that hopefully we get a decent 3P solution or something is done in the running change.

In the mealtime, these solutions suck ass and just seem to be desperate grabs for anything to justify buying brawl when they knew he had issues.
>>
>>5349758
Hasbro also fixed motormasters issue. What was hot spots? Mines fine. Also the constructicons weren't shit engineering. They just didn't have as much articulation. That's different from Blitzwing and brawls issues.

But go on. This war between Hasbro and takara fans always makes the TFG seem like a smart and sophisticated place.
>>
>>5349760
>we get a decent 3P
Buy Warbotron.

>>5349709

>This war between Hasbro and takara fans always makes the TFG seem like a smart and sophisticated place
so do the hasbro poorfags in denial of takara's superiority no matter how true it is
>>
>>5349770

>>5349772
See. I think the takara side just want to get the Hasbro fans stirred up with this act of superiority. I really hope it's just an act because both sides are equally pathetic for their own reasons and this self righteousness is the pathetic part of the takara side.

Just like the guy who refused to buy the MP KOs because he felt having the official ones gave him better social status.
>>
>>5349734
Pretty much >>5349738

Since I hadn't bought new toys all year, I pretty much splurged shortly after I got my new job.

>>
>>5349782
But see that's not what was going on in the brawl conversation just now. That's what cracks me up about the takara side. I really don't have a side. I pick the version i like and buy it. This battle is stupid. Especially when most times it's over paint apps.
>>
>>5349778

I could see not wanting to buy a KO because, you know, quality is a concern and who the fuck knows if any given KO will be a hit or a miss, but social status? From what? If you're collecting toys, your social status is probably already "perma-virgin" far as most people are concerned.
>>
>>5349786
People kept pointing out to him that more often than not the MP KOs were actually pretty damn good and hard to tell apart from the officials, but nope. His collection was how he displayed his self worth to his world even though the only people who probably see his collection is his disappointed mother who cleans his room when the smell starts to get too bad.

Obviously model glue, the one that melts the plastic so it can fuse it together, solvent based I believe, I use mister cement.

Ask your local model store for the glue that melts and fuses plastic together, just apply pressure to fuse the parts for a few mins

Normally you'd be right, but we've seen them actually fix flaws recently with Devs.

>>
>>5350065

Beast Machines is definitely worth checking out. It's something that kind of needs to be seen in order, unlike Beast Wars which was an episodic format and could be seen in syndication in roughly any order and still be enjoyable. Fox Kids massively fucked BM up by airing it once a week, showing a couple of episodes then going back and forth, making any sort of continuity impossible. That and the aggressively ugly designs for the Maximals made it easy to hate at the time. In retrospect, it's not a bad show and has some cool ideas about going to extremes and whether it's justified or not.

Plus all the vehicons are awesome.
>>
>>5349540
in a way this doesn't feel like much of a step up form the 90s ultra class toy or even the Robotmaster. I can see some improvements but it's still going to have kibble and panel lines out the ass(the monkey feet look like they're piled with junk), and it's not like going from G1 minibot Bumblebee to MP Bee. There just wasn't much to improve on for looks alone and RM and the anniversary retooling took care of most of it.

I mean..... this is an MP, so it's going to be expensive, but is it really any better an update the Gen Waspinator or Rhinox? Is there any reason this couldn't be a voyager class standard release like Rhinox was? I don't even know if this needs to be an MP, given how mostly right Rhinox was(his pelvis is kinda poorly designed but that's all).

But eh, there will probably be a $30 KO anyway.

>>5350086
If its bigger than the old toy with a more involved transformation it could be worth it, but I doubt it.

Beast Machines is a good series on its own, and I marathoned the entire first 6 episodes with baited breath when I got the first volume. The second volume is just as good. Season 2 isn't as good as 1, but it's still decent. That said, Beast Machines is shit as a continuation of Beast Wars.

>not every mp has a ko

most of the recent ones do, it's just larger ones they mostly skip on, like Magnus, Star Saber and Soundwave. Starscream was kind of "done to death" some time back by iGear. All the cars and cassettes got KOs, even Ratbat. I think it's 100X easier to get a KO Exhaust than official since PM apparently ignored the KO existing. Prime has had a couple(not counting very old MP-01 KOs), including a recent larger version KO and some unofficial color schemes. Grimlock has had some KO runs. The KO maker even deliberately changed boxes to read TAKASA TONY so people wouldn't pass them off as originals. Although the new name sounds like that of a known hentai artist so they didn't think it through.

If this is car size, definitely. If it's large, probably not. But I don't see them going ultra size with this guy for some reason.
>>
>>5349705
They'll also have a space shuttle, a fixed Brawl and better paint apps. Only a fool or a poorfag wouldn't buy the Takara set.

I'm an age 28 neet, well partial because I got a piss easy job that clears my head and pays the bills, being retail focused (with legion transformers for a bit of fun on the shelves) and if not for that I'd just be shit posting here or playing vidya.

I don't get why people can't just do one of 2 things, either MAKE the changes that need to happen, or just settle for just being another blank face in society.

Its not so bad, I just run my online friends as my therapist from time to time (they're neets too in far worse situations)

Plus transformers yo, when the shit hits the fan I just look at my ugly collection, convert them back and forth and tell myself.

I paid for this, and I didn't starve to fucking do it, nor did I commit any other crimes other than being a social recluse.

Picked up Brawl and Swindle today. Swindle is nice, never messed with Rook so this was a nice thing to try.

Brawl is just a mess though. his arms are sad, his torso has a soft tab that doesn't help anything. He does make for a nice standing up tank leg.

With Menasor you can turn the Stunticons making up the legs around to make them look G1, since the backs look enough like their G1 versions to resemble it even without knees.

Can Swindle? Obviously Brawl can't.

Scourge gets to be the flying bar of soap because they're slowly phasing out all the '86 movie cast to get new figures.

We are getting Headmaster type figures next. Hasbro is unfortunately done with CW. Just because IDW official fanfiction has Chromedome doesn't mean we are getting more combiners.
