Fracture and Megatronus are pretty fun. Might convert Megatronus into a heavy Vehicon.
>>
>>5597379

For someone who pays 0 attention to RiD, is Megatronus Megatron in this, or is Megatronus an entirely different character?

Also, fuck the USPS. Fucking package of mine should've been delivered today at the latest and wasn't. It still hasn't updated any tracking info since the last distribution center (or whatever) it was at. The fuck are they doing, I'm mad as shit.
>>
>>5597389
Megatronus is the original Megatronus of the Thirteen. No relation to Megs.
>>
>>5597389
Megatronus is The Fallen. They looked up the wrong backstory for him, so he's more ROTF Fallen than Aligned Fallen.
>>
>>5597399
No direct relation, but Megatrons sometimes name themselves after Megatronus.
>>
>>5597352
nah i'll wait Takara's
>>
>>5597418

A better question is what is Takara going to do for Liokaiser?

Obviously they're gonna reuse their new Rook-Drill remold to go with the Brawl mold so Liokaiser isn't 2 pairs of the same general mold. But what are they going to do for the torso?

Assuming it's the bare minimum, and that Hasbro fucked up at everything:

-2 Skydive molds instead of one Airraid, and one Skydive
-Tank mold with AA guns instead of the normal turret
-Nosecone mold
-New heads for everyone except Laokaiser, who's head is painted in the right color

Assuming they go full Takara:

-Everything already posted save the Leokaiser head part.
-Jallguar and Leozack that form the torso, they replace the Sky-Lynx torso
-Breast Force animals for everyone
-Those weird staff weapon things for everyone
-Combiner weapons for Leokaiser
-Shitty hand/feet guns
>>
>>5597456

I don't think recommending a blatantly better toy is shilling. Shit, I'll recommend the Hasbro CW Computron if he says he wants toy deco.

It still won't stop either of those from being vastly superior in terms of quality and playability than a G1 brick toy.

I mean, shit, I grew up with G1 and the original cartoon, and I'd never recommend a G1 toy over a newer one just because toy technology has gotten SO MUCH BETTER than shit literally 30+ years out of date.

Okay. We get it. You think you're doing good. He didn't ask for what could be the best or most recent version of computron. Be wanted to know of a good g1 ko for computron. You think you're helping, but you aren't. He asked for something very specific.

If he changes his mind he would respond, no?

So lets leave it at this, its not like he'll give you anything for offering the better toy nor defending his choice in a toy, no?

He's The Fallen with a stupider name.

It's his actual name. Megatronus Prime becomes The Fallen in almost every continuity he's in.

What the fuck are they thinking?
The only reason I can see is that they'll do the toy with an actual apeface so you'll have to buy the robot head separately.
>>
>>5597673
They've made two Brainstorms in just a few years. They could totally re-do Apeface if they wanted.

I think people would be more open to the TM thing if those guys were G1 characters that already have decent toys released in the last few years, like Starscream, Warpath, Blitzwing, etc... instead of being characters that haven't gotten toys in ages, while having the guys who haven't gotten toys as leads of the line.

So basically, having guys like Blurr, or Scourge (characters who got toys not too long ago, one being rereleased at the same time as the new one) feels like a slap in the face, since it implies the head only dudes aren't important enough to get a new toy now, and there's no guarantee they'll get a proper toy next year. To make matters worse, if they do get new toys in a few years, they might not even be compatible with these guys.

This. Takara Blurr is fucking gorgeous.
I kinda like the TR Scourge though since it's designed after the G1 toy rather than the cartoon character.
>>
>>5597710
I always feel bad for Generations Blurr. He's this weird mismatch of different Blurr's with a dash of Drift. It has Drifts body, IDW Blurr's head, G1 Blurr's cartoon colors, and Armada Blurr's guns and role.

Should be a good amount considering what they showed last year. Probably the SDCC Exclusives and a wave or two. Then they save shit to show at SDCC though. It's gonna be a nice sneak preview of what I might be going to get from Takara from the rate things are going with them.

Would you have rather had a Snapdragon that turned into a crocodile? The Movie guys are their way of getting the necessary mold reuse in Titans Return while allowing the '87 Headmasters to have different molds from each other.

I'd love to get all of the Headmasters -- and I hope there are figures to come later on, but it's not like they could have replaced the Movie figures without having to use the molds of Hardhead and friends.

That's pretty standard with renting out any hotel area for a convention, though. Most of these hotels/convention areas are set up for typical business gatherings, commemorative events, etc. They aren't going to make things specifically different for a toy convention.

They did this convention way too early, is why. Hasn't even been a full year since the last Botcon. Reveals are typically divided between BC and SDCC in the last few years since they're about 2 months apart; but in this case SDCC is still months away.

Realistically, most people excited for a line of G1 fanwank are people who are 30+ years old. Fedoras are more of a 20 year old nerd thing. Ponytails were more of a "90's comic book guy" thing.

I'm starting to think Hasbro doesn't like Brawn.

They actually retooled this a fair bit, I'd of been fine with this if takara made it.

And he looks like even less Lightspeed-ish than Takara's Breakdown.

Given the absolutely lazy way they went about this, buying both and swapping is out of the question now.

What's funny about the upcoming computing is that there are 3 groups:
1. Those that love the original and want the takara one and constantly bash those that want Hasbro
2. Those that love the original and want the Hasbro one and try to bash the takara people
3. Then there are those like myself that have zero attachment to the characters and the original toys and dont care either way.

I'm pulled to Hasbro for the feet, hands, and cosmos repaint. Plus it'll be cheaper which is never a bad thing. It just looks like a fun set.

It's just all this constant tak vs has talk gets so fucking annoying.

Really? You made a fully functional, articulated transforming robot out of lego bricks when you were in kindergarten?

You should be building supercomputers and fighter jets now, with how clearly briliant and technically inclined you are.

It doesn't look that bad to me. Not as good as Takara's, in general, but for a retool of an Aerialbot, it's fine. It reminds me of the 80's schmup fighter designs.

Convention exclusives should set aside stock for plebs and retailers. I am so fucking tired of companies letting retailers giving them priority.
There are some people who actually traveled to the damn show and wanted to buy this crap too and if they had any left over, they'd be on sale at funpuke's site.
