old thread: >>5370110
>>5378310
How many Optimus Prime toys has there been with removable faceplates?
CW Devastator is really bad and you would have all done so much better if you went third party.
Should I buy MP Wheeljack?
>>5378319
let us ignore this post please.
What is one thing everyone is kind of excited for? Nothing you NEED, but something that looks fun.
I'm ready for Warrior Class Thunderhoof. He looks pretty neat. I like these animal like bot modes the decepticons have in RID. Thunderhoof looks demonic. A black repaint would be metal.
Reminder to always announce in the old thread that you've made a new thread.

And there's an AoE one that you can lift the top of the head up and spin the face around.

I'm so sorry you can't handle baseline facts of reality. You paid for six Voyagers and got upscaled knockoff legends figures.
>>5378322
You can if you want to wait a few months for a reissue of just buy the KO, that more often than not are pretty hard to tell the differences from the legit ones, right now for $30. The common QC issues with those, if you have any, are simple fixes easily found on YouTube.
>>5378322
I recommend MP G2 sideswipe.

>>5378325
MP primal and potential other beast wars characters.
>>5378337
and in some case, it's difficult to believe what the original is compared to the KOs...
Could someone post a comparison between combiner wars leader megatron (or starscream) with a lego figure? I'm trying to gauge the size to get one.
>>5378407
Do you know what dyslexic means?
>>5378310
got Music Label Soundwave. I have the MP but it's nice to have a small one
People were really singing its praises when it came out, but having it in hand... it's pretty much adequate.
>>5378416
It's obvious that they prioritized the tape mode over the robot mode, cause my main nitpick are his huge forearms plates, which are only there to make the tape mode sleeker
Looks ace with the MP cassettes, though!
>>5378416
I like how his head looks so much like the deception symbol on this guy. More so than usual, that is.
>>5378407
Only because someone asked for someone to say when they made one (which they didn't).
>>5375490
I did something similar to my Cheetor a few years back. All I did was swap the lower half of the rear beast legs, and add a waist swivel, though. I also kitbashed it a bit further and made the front beast legs attach to the back kibble instead of the forearms
>>5378478
and here's a pic from the side
>>5378481
...dear god
>>5378310
>Super mode Starscream's box art references the way he sacrificed himself
i cri
;_;
>>5378489
yeah, the backpack is fucking ridiculous on this toy. All for the sake of accommodating the stupid fucking snarling and eye-change gimmick. It's fucking awful.
Here's another pic of it from a different angle
>>5378478
>>5378481
>>5378498
This toy is the walking embodiment of lost potential.
Universe Dinobot ended up weird because of the nature of his show design. Cheetor on the other hand should be easy to design into a good toy, yet he ended up being fucking terrible
We complain about Airrachnid cause she's terrible too, but at least she looked like the character
just who designed this thing? i hope they got fired
How does the year of the snake omega supreme scale to a CW gestalt/combined form?
I am tempted, and if he scales with one or is slightly shorter I'll be a happy camper, if not I'll just cry when the over sized titan class one comes years later
>>5378519
Yup, I completely agree. That's really the only reason I started kitbashing it in the first place; to try to make it a not-as-shit toy.
>>5378522
Energon/YotS Omega Supreme is huge compared to any CW combiner. The only one that dwarfs him is Devastator
>>5378527
Devy is kinda lanky compared to him though. I think Omega is bulky enough to display next to him.
>>5378522
Omega is a head taller thant TFC Hercules, who's a head taller than CW Combiners

>>5378527
>bigger than a cw combiner
>but smaller than devastator
Eh close enough, better than being a titan class
>>5378525
I feel so bad for you. It must suck being a fan of such an obscure and disliked toy. Hardcore headmaster fans at least has Fansproject to deliver them good re imaginings of their nostalgia bait.
Cheetor/rhinox fans? Nah.
>>5378531
I thought tfc was supposed to be...oh wait he's still smaller than the official devastator.
Cheers for the images, he's a big guy but isn't a manlet nor is he over compensating, works fine for me, cheers
>>5378538
CW Devastator is one of the biggest transformers ever, official or otherwise. He's shorter than metroplex and Fort Max but otherwise the biggest.
Generation toy is doing a Devy that's going to be just about the same size as the official one. The combiner ports on the limbs that are already out sit higher than the ones on mixmaster and scrapper so you can assume he'll be bigger.
But for now Devastator is king shit in terms of height.
>>5378541
In overall complexity he trumps metroplex that much is certain.
Would be nice if he was scaled down though perhaps bringing down 6 deluxes to a safe and stable combination may of had issues, thus the over sized devy we have now.
I like the figure and its components as a whole, just a shame he's fan fiction size compared to his bothers
>>5378546
>he's fan fiction size compared to his bothers
Think about it this way, anon.
He's Masterpiece sized!
Voyager Constructicons suddenly makes sense!
... Or if you dont have an MP collection, you can pretend he's transformers Devastation scale
>>5378546
Metroplex and Devy have the same issues. A lot is sacrificed in term of making the figure huge.
If they pinned the 150 price tag, brought them to deluxe size, and put they money and resources to making the crew better you would of had a set that would give Hercules a run for his (admittedly antiquated) money.
He just scales with nothing. He's really long legged and feels a bit too simple.
>>5378535
I tend to try to fix a lot of the shittier TFs that have come out over the past few years. Like Universe Hot Shot. I cut off the tail wings from his shoulders and glued 'em to the rear bumper kibble, freeing up his arms. And I made little extensions for his minicon's feet so it can actually stand on its own. I also gave Universe Ironhide and Ratchet articulated thumbs and fixed their downwards looking heads. If there's simple shit on a toy I can fix, I usually do it.
>>5378560
I was gonna dip on Herc until I saw generation toy's take on the crew. I have to admit I really think that these guys are gonna be the expensive top tier devastator to beat. My scraper is already in the mail.
How much does Metro retail for anyway? I know Takara jacks up prices by 20% or so for mild improvements.
>>5378566
No idea, got my metroplex for $100aud with 5% off.
It was the hasbro version, long before I gained the ability to import, but looking at him now I might be hesitant on importing another figure this big.
>>5378519
Didn't most of the old team leave/get fired around the time of DOTM? that's the impression I got, maybe that's just when the quality started to decline
not the guy that got butripped in the last thread but if I may actually provide an answer to the guy asking why someone would buy the Hasbro Devi instead of a third party one, no one seemed to want to actually answer him.
This is all just me on this, this may apply to others but let's assume not, just stick a big IMHO in front of this whole thing.
People keep talking about the quality of 3P toys over what we get with Hasbro and frankly I've never seen it. Yes just about everything looks really good in pictures but I have yet to see a single review of a 3P toy (any 3P toy) that doesn't include the words "fiddly" "broke off" "Doesn't quite fit right" "No instructions" "just doesn't match" or some variation there of. If I'm going to pay well over $100 for a single component of a much larger combiner then it had better be fucking perfect, and yes I know they have a smaller company and they don't have the money that Hasbro does but just think for a moment. How many 3P figures these days come with large parts to fix major issues on previous releases? I can think of several off the top of my head, hell Hercules had fixes through out it's entire run and even required an add on kit almost the same cost as a figure to complete him.
In the end is CW Devi perfect, oh hell no. Is he a decent toy. Sure. Does he look like Devistator towering over my other figures, and am I terrified that if I take him apart he'll crumble, yes and no respectively.
So you enjoy paying out the ass for a really good looking very poseable toy. I have Devistator in my collection and I didn't break the bank. In the end I have something I can play with and enjoy on several levels, and you've got something that looks pretty, really shouldn't be touched, and provides an ego boost. Can't we both be happy?
TL;DR Play with what you love and love what you play with and
>>5378603
Maybe on the Hasbro side. but the Takara guys have always been there. Some since G1, eve.
>>5378605
>no one seemed to want to actually answer him.
Gee, I wonder why...
>>5378605
I respect your opinion family. I don't think third party figures are nearly as fragile as you let on, although there are several instances of shitty exceptions to that. Vangelus makes a point to chuck every 100 + dollar toy he reviews at the wall to show that they aren't flimsy pieces of shit. That whole line of reasoning seems a bit like conformation bias.
Third party toys have arguably more play value because they are capable of much more poses on average. They have a better heft due to parts count and often times die cast parts. The high price tag goes a long way towards getting a better figure.
Price disparity is a huge downside, sure, but don't imply that third party toys are only for shelf display. I guarantee that Hercules can survive more drops than devastator could.
>>5378535
Aren't Rhinox fans happy with the T30?
>>5378609
I asked a question and you refused to answer because I was apparently cyber bullying you.
Again, if criticism is trolling than I suggest you begin a blog page on tumblr so you can block my nasty words that trigger you so much.
I don't think devastator is good enough to justify the price tag considering Hasbro can do (and does) a lot better. You're entitled to disagree with me but posturing and crying rape because I said things you disagreed with is juvenile.
>>5378620
Who makes it? I wasn't even aware it existed.
>>5378627
The thrilling 30 or the fansproject?
>>5378628
>fansproject
>Rhinox
Wut?
>>5378628
Either I guess. I didn't even know Rhinox had a fanbase enough to warrant new molds.
>>5378630
What, he asked first?
Was also going by >>5378535 said which may of confused both of us
>>5378631
Well I know the thrilling 30 was by hasbro/takara, sorry I did intend it to be a slight joke until I remembered I suck at them.
I believe fansproject is their name but from google I can't see shit, I don't follow third party figures so I clearly have no idea if one existed, which it apparently doesn't.
>>5378522
>>5378310
>Happy times.
>>5378519
>>5378525
I pulled out my Beast Wars 10th Cheetor yesterday and it's just ridiculous how much of a better toy he is compared to the Universe one.
I should buy another one sometime to kitbash. Maybe give it articulated front cheetah legs and a balljointed head without the stupid mutant gimmick.
For those who got MP Ultra Magnus
Just wondering, would the Combiner wars UM make a good stand in for the MP with the proper add on (moving feet and waists)?
I do have some MP and all, but in term of play, they are a little bit on the big side.
The CW UM seems good but to make it perfect the additional cost would push it almost to the MP.
So, any suggest?
>>5378830
It completely defeats the purpose to stand in the MP one with the Leader figure if you're gonna bridge the cost gap with upgrades to make him MP tier.
Might as well go with the actual masterpiece figure.
>>5378325
>Thunderhoof
>Not John Deer
>>5378860
pretty much this. I have it and love it, but because I have it I might not ever get the MP mainly because that shits like $300 to get here in Canada. So Ill settle for this guy cause I got him for like $30 at TRU a month or so ago.
>>5378325
I really need to upgrade Steeljaw's sad crew.
>>5378625
>crying rape
Man you got your answer and then repeated yourself. You really just took your boredom to a whole other level here.
>>5378864
>$300
What the fuck. Is this in burger dollars? Do you have to pay a transfer fee? That's like an additional 50% markup what the hell?
>>5378900
well, I usually find it at like $200 plus from retailers, I know I could probably get it a little cheaper on like ebay or what ever But I just don't trust those places after my past history.
I know bbts and ts source gouge a little but at least you have a certain guarantee.
>>5378325
The mold looks like a mixture of generations scoop and strongarm. any one else see that?
>>5378983
>generations scoop
THATS why the arms looked so familiar! thanks anon
>>5378983
>>5378987
Funny enough.
>>5378959
I'm so sorry. You poor syrupnigger man. That blows ass. I paid like ten dollars worth of shipping on a 100 dollar figure and I thought that was steep. Guess I'll count my blessings.
>>5378987
You know the more I stair at it, the more I think it's actually all just a remolded generations scoop.If it has the irritating gap between the transformed wheels then it defiantly is.
>>5378993
>just a remolded generations scoop
naah anon, you're thinking into it too much. I think the silhoutte is just similar, is all
>>5378991
It's even worse at the few conventions I can even get to, I went to the Calgary comicon right after it came out and people were wanting almost $400 for it then. Told one guy to get fucked then picked up MP grimlock and metroplex for $80 a piece.
>>5378993
No. Maybe similar design and/or transformation, but not a remold. People are weird about the RiD stuff. I saw someone the other day say they "knew" warrior fracture was a retool of Prime Arcee...
>>5379002
>MP Grimlock and Metroplex for 80 dollars a piece
>>5379004
What? was that a bad price? they were factory sealed and shit? I always see them go for more online.
>>5379007
>What? was that a bad price?
Are you serious anon? thats a fucking great price!
>>5379009
ah, little to used to /v/ I think.
>>5379068
Yup, getting an MP Grimlock for 80 bucks is rare in and of itself, but you got a metroplex, too. fine deal.
>>5379123
ahh, well that's the crux though isn't it?
Being in canada, it was the Canadian metroplex...
which means that it only has sounds and no speaking lines in his gimik, because in canada you have to make a toy in both english and french, or at least make a version of each.
It's the same reason our deluxes don't tend to have the comics or bios packed in.
Still, he just sits there next ti fort max anyway so what does it matter.
Would /tfg/ buy Beast Wars toys that exposed beast mode innards/bone/muscle in robot mode?
>>5379179
>Metroplex
>People want it because it talks
>Those Canadian Metroplexes are worthless
What?
>>5379203
I'd buy a polarclaw of that just so guzzle has some food
>>5379280
It's going to take forever until we get some new sparkabots.
>>5379327
Not Guzzle, he's actually popular.
Remember DOTM Guzzle? that was a thing. and it triggered some bitche's trypophobia
We need a new Guzzle.
>>5378959
>>5378864
>BBTS
Well that's your problem then.
http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT80320/Sci
HLJ has it for about $150 CAD and on top of it the shipping is only roughly +30 bucks on EMS. I paid $240 CAD for mine when it came out over a year ago since I pre-ordered it from somebody I know and not HLJ cause I thought it would have been convenient.
>>5379002
>Told one guy to get fucked
No you didn't. I call Bullshit to you actually telling the guy selling the item to Fuck off.
>>5379179
>Canadian Metroplex
LOL That sucks. During TFcon, another dealer sold me his ACG Metroplex which is basically the really fancy SDCC version but with the decoys being colored differently loose but 100% complete with unapplied stickers for $125 he just threw the box away and I do love pressing his buttons till he says "Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime."
Do any of you know about a Transformers collectors book called Transguide? This is a sample page. It looks so cool... Any links to download or to read the full thing would be greatly appreciated.
>>5379346
>>5379280
Weird how much the new IDW Guzzle looks like the multiple hulk customs.
>>5379377
>Transguide
it's actually called Transmanual. though its nice, i dont see why it's needed, we got websites like tfu already
>>5379386
I know that's the case and it isn't actually needed, but it would be nice to have this Transmanual on a pdf or such. It seems to have a very nice layout and streamlined info.
>>5379384
altmode
>>5379406
Maybe they were inspired by it.
>>5378329
I got both, and the Unite Warriors is better as far as individual bot modes go. So CW Devy stays in Devy mode.
>>5379406
Dunno if they're THAT similar.
I like how the one on the right is 70% turret!
>>5378359
Canada's dollar is in the shitter right now. Different Anon here, btw.
>>5379402
Here's another page of the Transmanual, the last one I have. Really nice looking book, there must be a link floating around somewhere to peruse it.
>>5379337
I'm still waiting for a new Ironfist and Overlord to come out, and both were fairly popular.
>>5379447
>Overlord
It's funny, there's gonna be three overlord toys out. THing is, two of them are too big, while the other one is too small.
Funny world we live in
>>5379460
You mean the Third Party one's?
>>5378519
We could really do with a new Cheetor in Generations. But I'm not expecting one because they're focusing on Headmasters after Combiner Wars and from what I've seen and heard, Generations Rhinox is STILL shelf-warming like a motherfucker in a lot of places.
>>5379516
It didn't help that his lower body was a fucking disaster.
Everyone I knew got one with a floppy waist, an knees, which makes it nearly impossible to make him stand.
>>5379530
Mine never had this issue. Perfectly fine. Did they not fold the waist properly?
>tfw Bay coming back for TF5
Lowest common denominator here we come!
>>5379552
>Did they not fold the waist properly?
We all did, and it was still floppy, but at least it was fixable, I have no idea how to fix the knees.
>>5378616
>>5378605
I think both are good in their own ways, and you buy what you enjoy.
Some 3P stuff is spot on, some looks like a fucking mess compared to the real thing. I know I wouldn't ever go with a 3P Devy, because what Hasbro delivered looks like what it's supposed to be. The others have too much shit that looks "off", Hell, sometimes the entire color is off.
Best 3P combiner is probably Feral Rex by a mile, as it's pretty true to it's source (only thing that strikes me as "off" about it is the sword being a fiddly piece-together thing rather than a big, solid, golden Fuck-You sword of chopping), there isn't a Hasbro/Takara version, and it's apparently pretty fucking solid.
>>5379637
No thank you. I'll stick with the superior Generations version.
>>5379637
That's blurry
>>5379637

>>5379637
oh shit nigger. i'm totally ready for this.
>>5379637
So Combiner Wars is mostly pre-movie bots, and now Titan Wars is going to be mostly post-movie bots?
>>5379406
Goddamn, MMC could easily turn their Commotus/Spartan into a Guzzle.
>>5379637
That Fort Max looks awesome.
>>5379660
86 movie 30th anniversary. Already got a new Galvatron, Cyclonus, Arcee, Springer and Magnus.
Pretty sure all of the main cast are getting do-overs.
>>5378328
>I can recall three
>Lists four
>>5379611
>>5379669
Hopefully we'll get a new Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime as well. Him, Blurr, and Galvatron are the only ones that really need new toys, really.
>>5379637
If this is real, thats a damn nice altmode. Looks just like it should, to me. Figure itself, can't tell at all because blurry as fuck.
>>5379460
I only know of the MMC one and the IF one, what's the 3rd?
(sorry I know this is 3rd party shit but Im curious)
>>5379677
Only other guys I can think of that haven't gotten new toys in a few years besides those are Wreck-Gar and Scourge, but their older toys were good enough from what I hear. I only own Wreck-Gar but he's pretty cool.
I hear that we're getting a Headmaster Scourge (space boat I assume) in that same wave with Skullcruncher, Hardhead, and Blurr. I guess Legends Wreck-Gar kinda counts as a recent toy, too? Don't see the retool potential in a new one though to be honest.
>>5379637
This is so fuzzy its hard to tell but it looks awful. Hoping with better pics it will look less kiddie but ehh.

In the same way that they re-did the season 1 guys in CW, because the older generations stuff is harder to find at this point, I imagine it's the same with the movie guys now.
Wouldn't be surprised if the near future has a new Tracks, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Hoist, Red Alert and Jazz, as well as Hot Rod, Scourge, Kup, and Wreck-Gar.
>>5379710
>Ratchet
Yes please. Ratchet and Ironhide need justice with a new generations mold.
>>5379710
>as well as Hot Rod, Scourge, Kup, and Wreck-Gar.
This is what I'm hoping for. We got CW Leader Ultra Magnus, Voyager CW Cyclonus, a TW Galvatron and Blaster coming (ok, he didn't originate in the movie, but still, he was in it), and rumors of a Scourge plus the other '86 bots.
I want my fucking full set of '86 bots! Since I'm newish to collecting I never had a chance at the Generations ones except Arcee.

People will take a mediocre figure that looks GEEWUN over a good figure that doesn't. Look at how popular Classics Starscream is.
>>5379821
Very butthurt. But it's okay. A small blurry image of a figure nobody has seen any more of or have in hand is totally a good base to judge upon.
>>5379637
Official Transformers are really starting to look like third party stuff from 3 years ago. this shit is getting weird.
>>5379846
I don't see it. I see them looking more like those KO's Biglots used to sell.
>>5379839
yes, you should wait until after you give hasbro your money before judging the figure :^)
>>5379203
I would love new BW guys like that, not necessarily BW show guys, but definitely toy-only characters or new designs entirely.I love bio-mecha stuff.
>>5379855
To be fair I think a lot of older 3rd party stuff looks like original off-brand transforming robots you'd see at Biglots and drugstores and Chinatowns,just better engineered and articulated. It's that rigid, blocky look that feels more stiff than usual G1 stuff.
>>5379859
No, you wait until someone else gives some entrepreneurial Chinese factory worker money and stutters through a shitty Youtube video.
>>5379859
In hand is a fair judgement.
Any in store sighting of CW Scattershot or Onslaught?

Whole aisle was dominated by shittons of SW merch.
>>5379611
The ride is never going to end. At this point, I'm starting to think that Hasbro and Paramount are just downright delusional
>>5379959

you guys think hastak will ever re-run RTS lugnut? it's such a good goddamned figure, wish I had known about it when it was on clearance at ross and marshalls for 13 bucks.
>>5380095
Ahahahaha don't hold your breath unless Universe makes a comeback.
>>5380095
No way. He has way too many moving parts and pins.
>>5380095
RTS-era figures are probably out of budget for Hasbro now, but Takara will sometimes dredge up random old molds for new figures.
>>5380095
No.
>i will never get a rts lugnut or universe inferno for under $60
>>5380095
i lucked out and bought both for 75 bucks last year
>>5380195
>tfw passed up on multiple Lugnuts for 1000 yen each at Yamada Denki
lel
dat bbts customer service for a broken leg panel on MT Tailgate
>>5380195
holy crap BOTH of those, tak and hasbro? you cheeky fucker.
Now that the holidays are over, I'm once again hunting for TF stuff
but what the hell's up with CW Onslaught? All the places selling him are selling him for absurd prices, not selling him without that sorry excuse for a Scattershot, or just plain sold out, same with Legends Shockwave.
>>5380119
>out of budget
>for the company churning out Star Wars figures
They're probably sleeping naked on piles of hookers, blow, and cash right now, and wiping their asses with 100's. Hasbro has money, lots of it.
>>5380315
He hasn't even arrived at stores I've seen in NY. Dunno where the fuck he is. No one has the motherfucker except price gouging cockstains, or people refusing to sell him without Shelfwarmicus Maximus.
>>5380302
shit man das cute
>>5380336
Which is why it's all the more vexing no one (online anyway) seems to have Onslaught yet. Walmart, Toys R Us, Amazon, Hasbro themselves, etc. Because that means the only options are buying scalpershit, or having to take some shitheads double deal with Onslaught+Scattershot just to save them shelf space on a character they know won't sell.
>>5380336
>transfags skipping a figure
Hahahahahahahahaha
>>5380315
You have a pretty good chance of getting Shockwave on hasbrotoyshop. They're still restocking him whenever he sells out.
>It's a "Dinobot gets cloned" episode
>>5380348
>being so poor that buying a set breaks you
>>5380361
But seriously watch Hasbro show Technobot limbs at ToyFair and half the fandom cry over "scalper" prices for a toy they wouldn't so much as piss on an instant before.
>>5380315
HTS has Shockwave in stock.
>>5380309
>>5380309
i was lucky, i went to the flea market early because i had shit to do later that day and saw these guys
instantly bought them
>>5380361
It's not that buying a set is expensive. It's that I shouldn't have to buy a character I don't care about, from a combiner that is forgettable at best and may or may not get fully made just so some shithead can save shelf space, all so I can get the character I do want to form one of the series most memorable combiners.
>>5380366
>But seriously watch Takara show Technobot limbs and an accurate Scattorshot at the Tokyo Toy Show
Because that's what will actually happen.
>>5380373
what goddamned flea market has transformers? I'm in tampa bay and there's a ton of flea markets but they're all total shit.
where are you?
>>5380466
>what goddamned flea market has transformers?
I've gotten a Cybertron Downshift, Alternators Smokescreen, RID Heavy Load, and HFTD Sea Spray at a flea market. You just have to know where to look. There was a place at my local one that sold vintage toys and stuff.
>>5380466
You'll be surprised what kind of cool stuff that you'll find at swap meets and flea markets
>>5379672
I remembered MP01 at the last minute and forgot to correct the beginning
>>5380466
unfortunately i'm all the way in SEA, Malaysia
we have a dedicated small mall/fleamarket for collectors to sell their old shit and stuff, from old coins and pots to transformers and he man
>>5380498
Bob doesn't sell Transformers at the Wagonwheel anymore?
>>5380125
>>i will never get a rts lugnut or universe inferno for under $60
What the hell? I got a used Lugnut for 30 bucks last year, from Jamaica.
Who the hell sells him for 60?!
>>5380633
The internet. Did you find him at a flea market, or shop?

ya, had a friend of mine do these, said he'd do them free of charge. they're not the best, but it's one of those "heeeey... good job..." type things.
>>5380697
Might look okay without the black wash.
>>5380707
They look like they were dropped in a vat of oil man.

I kind of like it. Reminds me of something NECA would do...which may or may not be a good thing to some people.
>>5380015
First Edition Prime Arcee
It's a very good fembot toy with good articulation
>>5380729
It's likely that he/she applied a few layers of glossy topcoat over it... so there's no easy way.
>>5380730
There's something very "comic books" or something about that wash. I can't actually describe why, but I also kinda like it.
>>5380729
isopryl alcohol, you can get those at pharmacies
it's used for cleaning wounds but i clean stuff with it
Who the fuck figinstock'd Brainstorm on AmiAmi
I'll fucking fight you meet me in front of the movie theater at 54th and Pasadena in 20 minutes for an ass kicking

In fairness to him, MP01's faceplate is removable, but it's not meant to be; you kinda have to pry it off. Compared to the others, who have "MOVING FACEPLATE!" on the box in big letters.
>>5380737
I like that figure. Sure her bike may be too chunky and she's too tall but she does a lot of things really well
>>5380718
It looks like a very, very bad attempt at a G2 Defensor.
>>5380767
wont that remove the paint underneath?
>>5380727
>Arson
Now why in the hell haven't we had a Decepticon fire truck before?
>>5379637
So what convention is it that we can learn about these guys? I want to know which day to be disappointed.
>>5380857
But we have, anon.
Meet Smolder.
>>5380857
yoo
Who was the guy who made a bunch of CW RID Prime/ Fire Convoy repaints? How much were they? I really wanted one.
>>5380697
Looks like they tried to imitate a 90's comic look.
>>5380866
Right right, fine. Forgot I actually have that little bugger.
How about why haven't we had one that's at least the size of a deluxe? A voyager or leader class evil fire truck would be amazing.
...And no saying movie Sentinel. Smart-asses.
>>5379005
Because it's either G1 Scoop, or Generations Scoop. It's calling a toy what it is to remove ambiguity.
>>5380884
That guy is just as big and better than modern deluxes.
>>5380842
gotta be careful when rubbing
it's not as strong as other removing agents
>>5380701
The only cheap one's I've seen on Ebay are broken.
>>5380886
Yeah, on a forum once and ask if Cyclonus' (meaning the universe mold) legs could collapse in vehicle mold, and all I got was snarky replies.
So always clarify, don't give cunts anything to work with.
>>5380884

Shop of a comic called Crossed.
What's the next convention we'll most likely hear more about Titans return?
>>5380977
None, we'll probably get leaked listings, then see a few more figures on Toy Fair.
>>5380983
Hell, I'll make it easier:
Deluxe:
Hardhead
Skullcruncher
New toy
New toy
Voyayer:
Galvatron
Sentinel Prime
Leader:
Blaster
PM Optimus Prime
Those Titan head things
Legends:
Rewind
Stripes
New toy
New toy
Fortress Maximus
