BEWARE WHEN BUYING SHOCKWAVE
>>
>>5575183
Beware what? I don't speak ook.
>>
>>5575199
China guy's comparing a cheap Shockwave he got from TaoBao with one imported from HongKong.

Rest of the thread is discussing whether it's a KO, local China release or something the contracted factory sneaked out "on-the-side" because the packaging and details are similar.
>>
>>5575183
this was discussed in the earlier threads that this might be a running change within the factory and not a KO
>>
>>5575183
m-maybe its takara's shockwave?

Regardless it doesn't look too bad, but I don't buy shit from china unless its a cheap watch.

>>5575232
Those circled in green are the earlier ones released in HK and the rest of the world. The one circled in red are from TaoBao.

>>5575211
Yeah that makes sense. Maybe it's a rush order to fill the market.

>>5575235
The TaoBao piece has a lot of mold flash, blurry details and just poorer tolerances all round. Purple paint is also thinner.

oh ok thanks.

I didn't realize their was a colour difference until now.

What shade of white is CW wheeljack? I painted his arms, groin, and chest windshield and need to touch up some splotches. Regular white would stick out too much.
>>
>>5575257
creme/off white/racing white.

Might as well paint the whole thing, the plastic will always make any shades of white stand out from it.

I really wish cw used flatter plastic colors, its hard to make paints blend in.

When I bought mine I was up at 4AM, and pre-ordered as soon as it went up. They were out of stock within minutes. Anybody who wasn't awake at 4 AM was out of luck. That is fucking crazy, and there's no reason for that.

But then again I'm not a bitter autistic faggot looking to scalp, so I don't see any reason for artificial scarcity.

I sincerely hope you get full-blown AIDs and die slowly. The world will be better off without you.
>>
>>5575259
Lucky they're just for small patches so they won't stand out horribly. I wish he was just normal white though. I had him displayed with other recent wheeljacks and his color is a little obvious.
>>
>>5575259

He tell me through the grapevine that Hasbro deliberately doesn't use extremely clean looking, true whites on their toys because they think it looks less boring when they use off-white.
>>
>>5575256
>>5575211
Maybe they're factory rejects and/or stolen copies?
>>
>>5575280
Its not just whites though, looking at cw hound, clearly metallic injected, giving it a nifty but plastic-y effect.

Meanwhile looking at my UW superion all of the bots have colors that can easily be replicated in paint without conflicting with the "plastic" base surface.

With a UW you can paint match, with cw its accent detailing or it must be smothered with paint.

This may be heresy, but what do you guys consider to be the best non-transforming Transformers figures? I find myself having to settle for lack of screen/page accuracy more often than I'd like, and altmodes don't really make up for that to me.

>>5575493
Lol.
Drift is really a weeaboo.
>>
>>5575513

I can only call raging so hard at the existence of female Transformers since early G1, to the point you try to retcon the very idea of them even existing by turning one of the most well known female 'bots into a tranny just so you, personally, do not have to write female 'bots as a coping mechanism, to be pure, undiluted autism.

>>5575517

Probably the revoltech ones from a few years back. Revo makes some great stuff.
>>
>>5575521
More of misogyny than autism.
It really is precious that some guy could think of alien robot gods creating a whole planet of alien robots but calls bullshit when it comes to robot women.
>>
>>5575521

Yeah, I planned to pick them up, but I was hoping to (excuse the memery) find something more along the lines of RDs, at least in terms of scale.
Figures like

Wouldn't misogyny be purposefully writing women as shittily as possible, not retconning women as a whole from an entire species and then, after being forced to write a woman, turning it into a man?

I'm still leaning more towards severe autism than misogyny.
>>
>>5575529
The same could be stated for assuming that they would have male and female division simply because humans have it. Alien lifeform is not bound by just what occurs on Earth, only the mechanics of the universe.
>>
>>5575534
It's still muhsoggyknees to actively exclude females from existing, though it's also really fucking weird on just a regular writing level.

I never got them because the combined mode looks like one of those kitbashed fanmade ones since the arms look like they are just the beast modes clinging on to dear life instead of being actual arms.

>>5576508
They're probably worried they'll get cancelled at any moment so they don't fuck around. Dont blame them.
>>
>>5576508
I haven't fully rewatched TFA in a while. What plot threads did they leave unresolved by Endgame?
>>
>>5576517
The beast wars characters for sure is one. I believe the Seekers were still around. Ultra Magnus. Blurr. Possibly the constructicons getting to Devastator. That's just what I remember even though I haven't seen the show since it aired even though I own all 3 seasons.
>>
>>5576517
Blur is still a cube.

It wasn't indicated within the series whether the Blurr cube was still alive, though. Taking the show by itself, Blurr simply died.

>>
>>5576517
Blurr was still a cube (fixed in other media), Ultra Magnus condition (he was suppose to die), some of the seekers weren't captured (Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Slipstream), all the TF left back on Earth and all the plots that would have involved them, Sari's origin (not very well explained, which I'm sure they would have gone into detail on another season), the fate of Rodimus Team, and probably something else I'm forgetting.
>>
>>5576559
Beast Wars.
>>
>>5576559
That's not bad. First two items could be written off as dead, and there was enough information about Sari's origin to piece things together. The other things could have used an episode or two to sort out, but still pretty good for a show that didn't know it was gonna get cut at the third season.

Nothing like the aborted story arcs and shoehorned toy ads of Prime, anyway.
>>
>>5576565
Blurr wasn't dead though. That's why it's a loose end. They teased him being alive for a reason.
>>
>>5576567
Did they tease that in the show? Honest question, I don't remember.
>>
>>5576569
Iirc he's laying in the garbage pile and then His spark lights up.
>>
>>5576563
Man, can you imagine how they would have picked up on that? If not a whole subline, there could have been a few new Beast toys in the Animated style.
>>
>>5576576
$20 BA would've used those animals or based bots on the animals (like what megs did for the dinobots) and would've had a small group that some would turn good and others wouldn't.
>>
>>5576581
They could also possibly have a situation where the robotic Maximals would have their organic layer stripped off (like with the Animated Dinobots), and have designs that homage the Transmetals.
>>
I recently got a bunch of TFTM/RotF toys from my local comic shop and I've been slowly going through playing with them and figuring out how to transform them. I just got to Sidearm Sideswipe and for some reason his head is really loose on the ball joint, to the point that it's pretty much just sitting on top of it, so when I got to the part that the automorph springs his head into place (I got him in vehicle mode), it just went flying across the room...
>>
>>5576638
Damn. You should go ahead and tighten those loose joints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R28igxg_FCY

Going through and playing with them one by one sounds like a lot of fun though. You should post pictures of what you got.
>>
>>5576556
It was intended to be, but in the show it could be either way, I'd say he's dead since he never showed up again.
>>
>>5575680
He doesn't rein it in because this over the top stuff is what a large portion of the (vocal) MTMTE fanbase wants. In fact, it's all they really want. Feels, romance, death fake outs and Earth culture are actually the highlights for a lot of fans of MTMTE. Which honestly, is fine, to each their own. I'm only a little sad because Roberts is a good writer at other stuff too, and he's let that section of the comic take too much space. If he wasn't good at anything else, I'd be more accepting, but I think he's a better writer of mysteries, war drama, etc than he is of pop culture references. Maybe Dying of the Light will adjust it back, who knows.

Not gonna lie, I'm torn here. The redone head and chest are wonderful and using Rook again is never bad since it's a great mold, but the Breakdown mold is terrible. Where the Hasbro one comes with an extra figure and isn't using the handfoot guns again.

EH OH!

I really like Thunderhoof as a Wendigo Mafia Boss. I wish we'd get a flashback of the glory days on Cybertron with him as boss, also Scowl's suppose to be one of his minions, shame they haven't interacted since.

>>5576477

a lot of the Cons were locked up in the great war though.

>>5576508

Nah Prime ended on its own terms, the lack of resolution was due to poor writing and numerous re-writes and plans being changed. Airachnid was suppose to be in the Predacons Rising movie but was replaced with Predacons.

>>5576695
>I'm only a little sad because Roberts is a good writer at other stuff too, and he's let that section of the comic take too much space

I think that's exactly the problem with MTMTE as of late, though with that said the recent twist with issue 50 might just be what the series needed.

>>5576675

One of the BotCon Script Readings, the one last year with John Moschitta Jr and Susan Blu reprising their roles as Blurr and Arcee have it where Blurr comes back to life.

I don't know if it's technically non-canon or not though, probably done that because the show will most likely not come back.

It's worth watching, it's on youtube somewhere...if only because Susan Blu voiced Kreezeek and holy crap it's hilarious.

Air Raid Retool and Streetwise mold
Brawl retool
Betatron recolor

New Scattershot tooling, including new gestalt weapon, head, and chest
Blast-Off and Rook retools
Wheeljack mold
HFGs again

This is a bit of a pickle. I love Hasbros hands and feet and the Air raid mold, but that lazy scattershot and brawl really hurt it, especially with UW having so many new toolings.

No confirmation on exclusivity, but considering the price, the fact that it has three exclusive heavy retools, and general price schema, it looks like it just might be.
