Betatron BTFO.

Old thread >>5381824

That doesn't even make sense. Why is he called Betatron if they were going to do Computron anyways.

Anyone can fake a screenshot.

>>5385317
Noun

beta version (plural beta versions)

(computing, technology) A development status given to a program or application that contains most of the major features, but is not yet complete. Sometimes these versions are released only to a select group of people, or to the general public. The testers are usually expected to report any bugs they encounter or any changes they'd like to see before the final release. This is the second major stage of development following the alpha version, and comes before the release candidate.

hasbro said so themselves when betashot was first shown.

>>
>>5385493
Limbs. They're just limbs.
>>
>>5385493
You can give both guns to Bruticus.
>>
>>5385473
-Hero Megatron (despite lacking the railgun, and rifle of the larger incarnation, he has a ton of articulation), but some might argue for Reverse Convoy, since he doesn't have the goofy weapons
-Armada Megatron was pretty solid despite lacking knees
-Energon Megatron, my favorite one being the Ultra version, since that had show accurate colors and they got the size was just right.
-Cybertron Red Alert (Cybertron Defense version), though, some might recommend Countdown (the universe version that shares this mold) since his colors will last longer.
-WFC Megatron was pretty nice, but I understand if he wasn't everyone's cup of tea.
-Generations Blur is a good figure, but most people don't find him to be a good representation of G1 Blur (he seems closer to Armada blurr in bulk and weapons)
-Movie 1 Landmine
>>
>>5385504
But it's a boxed set. They're not going to release a Computron boxset without Scattershot.

Why do you think it's a cheaper set than the others? Because it's just limbs. Already established in the last thread.

You should be able to store the guns on the back.

So you can actually pull that shit off? Great.

Which matches the chest color more; the Scattershot barrel, or the Cyclonus barrel?

Yeah, they've all got a bunch of pegs and ports and you can jam em together and peg them in on Devy's back.

But why would you do that when you can pass them out to other bots. Especially considering how few of the legends they pack with guns anymore...

>now theres maybe a CW Computron set coming and no one knows if theres going to be a seperate release of his limbs
>>
>>5385820
look at it this way, you had to pay 60 regardless, and yeah that sucks, but now you have an extra figure that very well may look different to the box set version. repurpose or customize that mofo.
>>
>>5385813
I don't know, I only own Cyclonus, and pictures never show off the colors well.
>>
>>5385813
They look quite different. Cyclonus' is a dark unpainted grey, whereas Scattershot's is a very light grey painted over with silver.

Of the two, I think Scattershot's looks better on Bruticus.
>>
>>5385899
Well, at least Silverbolt is going on clearance soon, and Scattershot's going to shelfwarm so hard that it won't be hard to find it at a discount.
>>
So we're all going "woo, Technobot limbs", but what about Takara? Surely they'd do them aswell? perhaps with a altered combiner body?

Keep it in mind.

Probably be the exact same as it has been. Cartoon accurate Computron with new head (if Hasbro doesn't redo the head) and maybe adjusted limbs if the limbs aren't accurate enough for moonland tastes.

If Combiners Wars has taught me anything, it's to wait for the Takara versions. Really hope they properly announce Bruticus soon.

I think the only combiner that might not be worth the wait for a Takara release is Victorion. Not like there's an original version to draw from to make it more "accurate," though maybe the paint aps will be better?
>>
>>5386209

I'm hoping they improve the scheme by toning one of the colors down some, using darker metallic plastic instead of flat, etc.
>>
>>5386209
I have no plans on getting Victorion, but what Takara will do is completely mysterious. I'm exited to see what it is.

Is Takara seriously gonna do 4 more Unite Warriors boxsets?

Bruticus, Computron, Victorion, and Sky Lynx? Titan Wars will be going by the time they all come out.
>>
>>5386257
I kind of doubt they'll get Victorion and Sky Lynx might be a solo release if they get him
>>
>>5386238
Would a triple-changer Headmaster work at that scale? I feel that might be really cool if there was a Broadside/Tidal Wave/Flattop kind of mold where the head could be a small aircraft that could be on the carrier.

They said when Victorion was announced that she was a joint project between Hasbro and Takara...but then again I suppose all Transformers toys basically are.
>>
>>5386265
That'd be tough, if the headmaster had ball joints, you could probably fudge a vehicle out of it, but it'd probably look like a fan mode.
>>
>>5386259
Grand Galvatron and the Optimus combiner seems to suggest Takara is down for some original combiner characters. Combiner Wars might be over for Hasbro this year, but that doesn't mean Unite Warriors will be. Also, a combiner could totally join in on the fun in a Titan-themed line just like we had plenty of Legends figures in CW that had nothing to do with the combining gimmick,
>>
>>5386274
I'm trying to think what they could do, a combiner based on the g1 fembots? Junkion colours?
>>
>>5386199
Oooo quillfire looks cool. Looks like im getting him as well.
>>
>>5386293
Well, Victorion's rival is Galvatronus, so maybe Takara Victorion is a trans-dimensional teamup of female good guys since Grand Galvatron is made of the dead and vengeful.
>>
>>5386312

That's kind of a neat idea.
>>
>>5386336
Problem would be filling out the roster.
Āshī, Arcee, Ariel, Arcee, Arcee, and Elita-1?
>>
>>5386361
What if Sari was a Legends scale boob plate?
>>
>>5386361
Arcee, Elita-1, Moonracer, Roulette? Strika is the torso with Rosanna being the bra.
>>
>>5386361
Wait a second, if they replace the helicopters with Grooves.
Animated Arcee has those back fins, G1 Arcee has soft curves for altmode, Energon Arcee is tiny, and then you have two bigger motorcycles with the red Arcee being part of a combiner with a blue motorcycle and Elita-1 and for the ones outside of Elita-1 you keep them in their typical size class.
>>
>>5385261
No idea why, but this made me laugh so fuckin much
>>
>>5386492
Because among the many uses of the helicopter molds, the only changes were two new heads and alternate arms which got used in one set. the other whore mold got more retooling between uses.

3P has a lot of potential to go places that would be interesting, but alas, most of their efforts go to making hordes of dinobots or devastators for obvious reasons. I'd be all in for a 3p take on a femcombiner considering the major disappointment in Vicky, even if you do generally like it.

I like the looks (and price point) of the Fansproject Not-Dinobots (whatever the fuck they're called). They just look 'right' to me for a CHUG aesthetic, striking a nice balance. Everyone else seems too busy trying to recreate the original G1 figures without much of an update to the overall looks.

Also fuck me, figures the Bruticus PE fists would arrive in BBTS the day my other order went from "can change/add shit" to "lol warehouse can't touch shit now". Shipping charges sucks ass.

I'd think they'd be paying $99 for a combiner, Anon. Just because most people don't like something doesn't mean everyone doesn't like it.

They really shouldn't have gone with TWO choppers though. A bit more team variety wouldn't have hurt.

How much was Piranacon? He's 6 figures vs. Computron's 5, so if he was less than $99 then you're right to call it bullshit. Plus Victorion is a lot bigger than G1 Computron, so it would be a bit shit to release both at the same time with the same pricepoint.

Easily the worst toy I own. The only cool part is the vehicle mode gun reveal

I knew it was bad. I got him cause I'm thinking of modding him with more articulation and better proportions, cause the design is cool

It's kinda funny, they have good toys, but they're considered out dated

Classics is outdated, no bicep or thigh swivels. and alot of people have problems with the new MP seekers, saying they're messy adn weird. Classics wise the best one is WFC Seeker mold IMO. But there's a possibility there'll be CW Seeker toys

MP wise i think it's best to wait. Maybe the KO MP seeker is gonna be better, or you can wait for Maketoys MP Seeker

Takara when in doubt, make sure they're the mp11 type, aka mp11sw (skywarp) mp11t (thundercracker) mp11s (sunstorm).

Acidstorm is listed as mp11A but its a repackaged hasbro release, and starscream has 2 takara versions, the reissue and the original, you can't tell them apart until you look finer but a brand new mp11 now usually has a collectors coin with it, another tell tale are the heads, the takara seekers have painted gloss black heads, the reissue bucks the trend and has unpainted (which is better since where it transforms can scratch), the nose cone on the original is painted (its blue underneath apparently) while the reissue has it in the same color as the rest of starscream.

The hasbro seekers while getting progressively worse qc wise (my fucking starscream's chest is too tight, to transform him i need to pull the chest apart like im trying to tear him in half) although they're far cheaper and easier to get, thundercracker also better homages the original toy with tampo print markings on his thrust vents on the front.

AVOID the older releases (mp3 type), they have hip kibble which can be off putting but they look better in jet form because of them.

I'm a seeker fag, I'll answer any additional questions, just be aware the only takara release I own of the bunch isn't out yet, pic related.

Wasn't in the mood to pay $300+ for sunstorm takara version since I want the whole gang.
>>
>>5387544
You seem to have misunderstood me. I was asking which Masterpiece Skywarp, Masterpiece Thundercracker, and Masterpiece Starscream are the best ones of all the Hasbro/Takara releases. You know, there's all those store exclusives, and I heard Takara doesn't do all the paint apps or something, and then I hear there's some rework made on the legs, I don't know which one to choose.

Just to add, I generally find the generations/classics ones good to though as said they're outdated like the MP's, if you like war for cybertron those things are solid though takara has more extensive paint apps and an exclusive ghost starscream variant ("infiltrator" if you prefer)

Wanna know something funny?

I forgot to add a detail that may be of interest.

Hasbro seekers all come with the flight stand, the takara ones ditch the stand from the mp11 type onwards with only starscream and sunstorm getting the spiffy capes.

You may also see pic related the quality of the hasbro starscream compared to the takara, kinda sad since my hasbro sunstorm acidstorm thundercracker generally look good, starscream has nubs just like shown

They're probably far too small for your tastes, but the Generations Legend Class Seekers are probably the best toys of the characters right now.

>>5387185
That's it. Thank you!
>>
>>5387979
Snow Cat is fun and I like the novelty of him being a GI Joe vehicle but he's not amazing, feels like a modern g1 toy.
>>
I have a potentially dumb question

I bought a G1 toy recently, used, he's in rough but not unrecoverable shape. His joints are all die-cast though and he's floppy as hell, will Pledge still work for that?
>>
How big were Micromasters supposed to be canonically? Human sized?
>>
I got my onslaught in the mail today and was able to complete my Bruticus and I gotta say, best torso yet.

It fixes most of Defensor's problems, the chest plate is WAY more secure, the hip joints aren't loose and liable to do the splits, AND the crotch plate, though articulation resisting, helps keeps his legs in place.

Maybe I just have a bum hotspot with shitty hip ratchets or something.
>>
>>5388094
Is the crotchplate movable? I'm hoping it doesn't restrict the legs in the configuration seen in >>5387008
>>
>>5388094

Yeah, Hotspot shouldn't be doing the splits at all. His only problems SHOULD be his right leg not tabbing in super secure in gestalt body mode, and the chestplate tabbing in poorly because the arm ratchets for combiner limbs are so super solid and well made it'll never hold the chestplate firmly.
>>
>>5388103
No yeah you can move it,heck, having it folded up against the chest plate could possibly be construed as a homage to that Blast-off Chestpiece he had in the cartoon.
>>
>>5388104

And I say the above should be the only problems because those are both molding issues (the leg tab doesn't hold because they put too much plastic on one of the screw holes like they did with Generations Blitzwing) and design flaws (chest plate). If your Hotspot has any problems but those it's probably a unique QC issue.
>>
>>5388094
can you provide visuals of Brawl's problem? Every time I try to figure it out the wording just confuses me.
>>
>>5388111
I dont have a good camera OR good lighting in my room. Basically his waste/midsection is just kind of an awkwardly folded set of panels, and on most iterations of the toy, it doesnt hold together well.

Mine holds together alright-ish, and I did the trick where you spin the waste around and swap the legs. Frankly it makes his proportions better IMO.
>>
>>5388112

Even though my Brawl's waist tabs in fine where it's supposed to, it's an absolute fucking mystery WHY they ever thought the folding panel waist was a good idea.

Like, that shit should've been laughed out of the prototype design stage, let alone been produced as a prototype and have been taken seriously for even a second.

I got a second Brawl after my first had both a waist that came out of place if you looked at it funny, and a loose shoulder rivet as well. My second one is better, it at least requires more than the tiniest bit of force to move the waist, but it's still a super iffy design.

Speaking of tail-end new molds, visible arms in alternate mode or not (I couldn't really care less), Groove thankfully is more similar to what I would call the more successful figures in the line, the Aerialbots.
>>
>>5388202
Agree on Groove. It's funny listening to everyone piss and moan about his visible fists but nary a word about the Aerialbots.
>>
>>5388210

Visible fists and plant-with-a-robot-under-it are about as classical transformers as you can get.
>>
>>5388046
Depends on the continuity. Most have them about as tall as an average person, or a head taller.

Victory was weird in that it made Transformers really big, so Micromasters were about as big as or bigger than the mini-vehicles.

I just want 3 of the bruticus limbs for galvatronus. It was a toss up between brawl and vortex since I'm for sure getting Swindle and Blast Off. The helicopter mold is boring so I was leaning towards brawl.

I have yet to hear a positive thing about brawl that wasn't someone just settling and trying to justify their $15. These posts are just further proof to go for vortex.

I'd rather have a boring mold than a shit excuse of a mold.

>Giggidy, whatever you have to say on this matter is absolutely worthless to me. As you yourself have admitted, you tried to create canon on this wiki by gaming AVP for answers. The problem is you. Why would I listen to you? The weeks-old folks are in the top edits now? That's because the current AVP-heavy focus is discouraging all the other regular editors, because it's such an avalanche of bad faith canon addition that to some it just doesn't seem worth it any more to contribute. If there's a dispute? One side Asks Vector Prime. It's a fucking cancer. It's squeezing out the rest of this wiki. Nobody's here anymore to finish up articles that need updating, they're just here to create canon via AVP. That is how my limited time is wasted on here now, managing all this dumb AVP shit, and lately I've found it too aggravating to even bother. If you keep making this whole enterprise a worthless bad-faith chore? Yeah, the website's going to go away, because why am I spending fucking money on this? So, yeah, I kinda do make the final call!

Im sure this is rhetorical but... man fuck this. It's your god damn time and money, if you don't enjoy spending it this way stop. If managing a website,a fandom whatever the fuck is not fun, stop. It's a hobby, WHY ARE YOU SPENDING MONEY ON IT?!?! Don't ask us, ask yourself you overly obsessed man child.

I swear TF fans are the whiniest biggest babies of any fandom. Give them a little bit of power and it goes to their heads. Can't mention rival boards on forums, like.... give me a break.
