Time for a new one.
Also, when the fuck is Carnifex coming out? MMC listed him as coming out last year, and he hasn't popped out yet?

I'm more interested in Lockdown
>>5603938
I want Tarn and Overlord. And Overlord a lot more than Tarn.
Isn't the order supposed to be Lockdown/Overlord/Tarn, and none of'em are out yet?
>>5603947
I think so. Overlord is a bit large for me atm so I'm gunning for Lockdown and Tarn.
Honestly I think there won't be any huge announcements or releases until tfcon.
I got roughly $150 dollarydoos this month for tf's. Looking for a decepticon (or multiples) for my MP collection. Not sure where to look. I was thinking MX-II Andras, maybe a galvatron. I really don't know. Looking for suggestions in all honesty.
>>5604246
Any specific characters you like?
>>5604249
I really like Cyclonus, Scourge, Galvatron, the horrorcons, sharkticons. Those would be awesome. I'm a huge fan of the G2 Marvel Comics as well. My dream figure would be an accurate G2 Jhiaxus but I know that will never happen.
>>5604260
>sharkticons
BBTS is kind of on everyone's shit list because of what might have happened with the Botcon Megatron, but they have iGear's Shark Attack Squad 3 pack for $75. I got them in a BST sale a few months ago, and they're pretty cool. Since it's a 3pack, that's only $25 a figure, pretty good deal for a 3P figure. They're a bit tiny, so might not fit MP scale, though.
>>5604290
BBTS and TFsource are both a bunch of greedy shitlords routinely embodying the worst of both toy collectors and retailers alike.
Whether they really are responsible for the mess at Botcon, they have done that kind of shit before. They used to get called out for standing in the lobby at conventions and offering to buy out people's figures for cash, obviously for far less than they intended to sell them for.
It was never conclusively proven, but there were claims that they were cleaning out local TRU stores of MP figures once upon a time as well.
>>5604260
If you want Sharkticons and don't need the box, I have a 3-pack of pic related I would sell you for $60 shipped priority in the US.
I do have the box and they are brand new in it, but that thing is just massive and would be like another $10 added on for shipping because of its size.
Hit me up either way and we could talk it out:

how is he?
>>5604351
HAWT, post more
>>5604360
getting the ankles right for the altmodes is a fucking pain. Completely destroyed my fingers.
Like some of the other IF stuff his transformation is a bit finnicky, but he looks really tight.
>>5604308
I blame Hasbro.
>>5604411
Mine's in the mail, can't wait for it.
>>5604411
I'm surprised I missed his cockpit chest until now.
>>5604443
early shots of it were in Yellow, which still looks good on the Robot mode, but I suppose they were going with G1-accuracy.
>>5604411
He looks great, kinda considering getting him to add to my Decepticon ranks.
I hope IF releases a stand alone Megatron soon. They're coming out with Prime, they should have his rival too.
>>5604501
I hope they do, I want a nice one done in IF design.
>>5604404
Fuck, I love Iron Factory but I've gotten multiple blood blisters from just trying to unpeg those 5mm ports. This many figures deep I wish they'd improve their tolerances a bit.
>>5604884
on one hand, it means the joints are nice and tight.
On the other, MY FUCKING FINGERS.
>>5604884
I know how you feel. Though honestly I prefer this to the alternative.
>>5603920
Wasn't MMC supposed to be going under and Feral Rex was their last big project? That's what some anon claimed on here.
>>5604290
Didn't know about the igear set. I only knew about the chibi looking UT set. Thanks for mentioning these. Just ordered my set of them. I think they are MP scale enough. They are 5 inches tall in robot mode. Scale charts don't include sharkticons, but Wheelie does ride them (and covers most of Gnaw's head) in the series. Good enough for me, as well as the closest to MP Sharkies we will probably see.
Now if I can just find me some sweet horrorcon figures.
>>5605456
No? Their not-Kaon just came out and they've been showing prototypes of Carnifex and renders of that Tarn every ones talking about.
>>5605456
I think they were going under, but Feral Rex pulled them out of the grave for the time being. They don't make a whole lot, and other companies are certainly trumping them on figures atm. They will probably always be around producing things at a snails pace.
>>5605477
Well, I just got my Hexatron, and suffice to say, I'm fucking sold on their quality. Just, holy shit, this thing is amazing. I want a Feral Rex too, but thats gonna take a bit of saving and some hearty self-justification to waste $600 on a toy.
>>5605456
You sure your not confusing MMC with G creations? The guys making the dino combiner?

>>5605609
Keep an eye on BST. I got Feral Rex for $350 a year ago.
Hex is still My fave 3P figure.
>>5605614
Nah, it was some anon that posted a whole bunch of crap, including MMC going under. I had it screen captured at one point. They were pretty accurate about some things, but MMC's clearly doing okay.
>>5605554

Please elaborate
>>5605652
The armored head is fucking awful. The basic bot isn't that bad.
>>5605554
Why are people buying hex over clonedroid?
>>5605694
>your opinion
Oh, ok. I thought you meant something actually wrong with it. I like the armored mode personally.
>>5605707
To support the original company so they keep producing new figures.
>>5605707
Because I'd rather full quality and a great figure than a KO. Also because I want Carnifex to come out and for that to happen MMC needs to stay alive.
>>5605882
Why are you here?
>>5605456
Nah, some "Hasbro Only, 3rd party are thieves" shitposter claimed insider knowledge that September of 2014 we'd hear the announcement of the "definitive" Predaking from Hasbro and that people would cry about incomplete Feral Rexes because Hasbro would put them out of business.
His "insider info" may have been the original pitches for Combiner Wars and his addled brain filled in the rest with wishful fanwank
>>5605614
G Creations issued a statement that they were "misquoted" and plan to do things beyond Shuraking. We'll see.
>>5605882
Oh yeah. The original creators are "suffering".
Boy, good thing that Hasbro doesn't do things like use Don Figueroa's old designs without telling him or compensating him just because he moved on from Hasbro, huh?
Oh, wait...
>>5604290
>BBTS is kind of on everyone's shit list because of what might have happened with the Botcon Megatron,
Mind sharing what might have happened? Did the put up preorders for it and then got rid of them or something?
>>5604424
Why would you blame Hasbro for their bad actions? Seems a bit ridiculous.
>>5605959
Saturday morning,, the first person in line bought every last remaining Megatron in stock. Rumours abound that it was a BBTS guy who did it, but nobody has fessed up and BBTS denies it was them.
>>5605959
They may or may not have bought out all the remaining Megatron's at the con on Saturday when the retards running it removed the 1 per customer limit.
Theres been no confirmation of anything, so take everything with a grain of salt. At least funpub decided to go out in a cataclysmic bang of exploding shit though.
>remove sale limit on the only desired toy in the whole con

The only way it could've gone worse is if they invited Micheal Bay to the convention to skullfuck the original diaclone design team to death on the showroom floor.
>>5606053
>shutting down TF Source twice over petty shit
Twice? I know they shut down TFSource for three hours on Saturday for passing out flyers to a 3P meet nearby. What was the second time?
>>5606059
They shut down the 3P meet-up too.
>>5606053
>The only way it could've gone worse is if they invited Micheal Bay to the convention to skullfuck the original diaclone design team to death on the showroom floor.
I'd watch that for a dollar
>>5606096
Really? That sucks. I went to Botcon last year and they had a 3P meet up in the hotel across the street. My buddy and I actually had more fun over there than at the con itself. The only thing I bought was a Hexatron print from the guy who did the card art, a shirt that said "When I party, I third party", and a Felisaber (that I bought in the con's sale room).
>>5606096
How? It wasn't even at the same place.
>>5606208
No one has said yet. We may never know.
>>5605342
It's called budgeting. I've known for over a year that Overlord is coming out and I've saved up money for him, I've known Tarn is coming out and I've also saved up money for him. It's really not that difficult. With how long it takes MMC to release things from start to the actual product I could save enough to buy ten Overlords.
>>5605945
That's not what happened but whatever.
>>5606215
They were aware of the meet-up thanks to the flyer, they simply had to tell the hotel hosting it (my guess).
>>5606315
Tell them what exactly I wonder.
>>5606330
>>5602354
>>5606238
Oh I have the money, that's not the issue at all. I was just feeling guilty for blowing a so much on both but it sounds like that's exactly what you're doing so whatever.
>>5606424
For all the sorts of events these places hold, I would hope that it would not be that simple to deter one that is virtually harmless.
>>5606442
I doubt most events they host are this shaddy.

>>5606555
Dude, I love 3P, I'm not sure but I may even own more 3P products than official TFs but 3P products ARE shady and if you don't accept it, you're in denial.
>>5606585
Too G1 for me. I'd prefer something that could go toe to toe with Stormbringer Ginrai as well. I think it would be cool to have an action master Megs, per canon, that had transformable drones that turned into armor for him.
Tank Megs or even Bomber would be fine too. Something more functional than a gun no one can wield.
>>5606599
>Too G1 for me
>>5606604
Come now, G1 just looks so dated when you compare it to War Within, FoC/WfC, IDW or MTMTE.
Sure it was my first love but I've moved on. Even the MP line has no appeal for me. That's why I collect 3P, Iron Factory, Maketoys, MMC, Planet X, some older Fansproject figures. They scratch that robot itch for me, I'd still buy them even if they were all OCs.
>>5606599
Those forearms are completely out of place...
>>5606599
>I think it would be cool to have an action master Megs, per canon, that had transformable drones that turned into armor for him.
Wait, so that megatron in your pic DOESNT transform?
>>5606613
I see what you mean, but I always think about the old designs of G1 characters that never got good, accurate toys, like Sixshot.
Your pic is a good example. as an anime robot, he looks fucking nice, (and i'd honestly buy it if he wasnt gonna be $100+), but as G1 Hotspot, it leaves alot to be desired
>>5606626
>Your pic is a good example. as an anime robot, he looks fucking nice, (and i'd honestly buy it if he wasnt gonna be $100+), but as G1 Hotspot, it leaves alot to be desired
Exactly why I didn't even bother with the set. G1 faithfulness aside non of them invoke the characters to me. As you said they seem like generic anime super robots.
>>5606640
>G1 faithfulness aside non of them invoke the characters to me. As you said they seem like generic anime super robots.
What's weirder still is that Maketoys Defensor himself is VERY G1 accurate, (he's basically a stronger looking, anime version of UW Defensor), its just the individuals who look different. Odd choice
>>5606640
maketoy should go ahead and just start making Braves. They'd make a great Thunder Baron.
>>5606646
>They'd make a great Thunder Baron
It'd be the first great Thunder Baron, that's for sure..
his original toy looked like the worst Brave combiner
If Maketoys retools Pandinus into Zazorigun, I would shit my pants and immediately buy it
>>5606313
Really? Because it was on this very board some guy kept trumpeting "Wait until September, you'll see I'm right" regarding the "official, definitive Predaking" announcement, as well as saying MMC would be shut down soon and we'd all be left with incomplete Feral Rexes.
That is indeed "what happened" here on these boards. As to what "happened" out in the REAL world, who knows
>>5606315
>they simply had to tell the hotel hosting it
Tell them what? That they were butt hurt? They don't have any authority to shut anything down out side of thier own convention. Smells like a load of horse shit to me.
>>5606657
>It'd be the first great Thunder Baron, that's for sure..
He seemed really good when I was a kid...
Also want them to do an Advenger and a good Captain Shark. I got KFC's, but it's kind of shit.
>>5606685
Fuck, it's dawning on me now that 90% of Sencho Barbosa's come from the fact that Cassy Sark can't into flat surfaces or a normal looking face.
>>5606618
Of course they are.
>>5606694
I know right? he also gave Shark claw hands for no reason
>tfw there are only two 3P Brave toys
>tfw both of them are designed by Cassy fucking Sark
seriously feels bad...
>>5606760
>he also gave Shark claw hands for no reason
In order to reference Sky-Byte for that use of the design? I guess. I don't know.
Sark + KFC made me so sad about that figure. I'd love a nice quality 3P Capt Shark.
>>5606585
I know, that's why I said stand alone, meaning just him. I'm not going to buy an entire toy I don't want just for a little Megatron.
>>5606624
Well, he is in More than Meets the Eye.
>>5607051
He will be sold as a stand alone after the Generation Toy Release.
Movie Optimus Combining with two movie dinobots because why not?
>>5606051

>>5607619

Don't get me wrong, the others ranged from decent to awesome. But that con exclusive set is raw shit boiling on the street.
Also, 3P stuff has definitely gotten me feeling pretty good with my first two purchases. I just wish it was cheaper.
>>5607621
Corbot V who is new to the game.
>>5606643
looks fucking nice btw, shame about the Protcobots themselves
>>5607985
Only nitpick I have is Groove and streewise are just hanging out on the legs. I guess its because people complained out thin computron looked.
>>5608046
hanging out?
>>5608046
Idk. I have Quantron and he isn't THAT thin unless you take off the cannon as a bow. When you do that it's thin from directly the side, but no one displays at that angle.
>>5608050
They attach to front of the combiner legs helping to fill them out. Instead becoming the legs themselves.
>>5608065
I'm okay with that. I imagine the joints will be better because of it. It's for sure a strange new version if parts forming however.
>>5608081
Not him but you can't really splay a helicopter out into an arm or a leg and make it look aesthetically pleasing I think. The tail and rotor-blades are always going to hang off and look like shit.
>>5608081
If they peg in like the Quantron combiner (which they looks like they do) the arms will be plenty secure.
Anyone else still waiting for a 3P Bruticus that has Blast Off and Vortex oriented correctly in combined mode?
>>5608098
I was referring more to the ambulance and helicopter flaps that are hanging off the shoulders.
>>5608100
Maketoys should do Bruticus. and as an added Bonus, you'd still be able to use Explorer and Munitioner
>>5608115
I don't think artistic liberties the company is the one I want to make a toy accurate anything.
Out of curiosity, which one of the 3rd party combiners can swap limbs with others from the same producer?
>>5608156
I think the TFC combiners can swap corresponding limbs.
>>5607669
>raw
>boiling
pick one m8
>>5608162
What about maketoys combiners?
>>5608311
I don't think Quantron and Giant can switch limbs, no.
>>5608318
Aren't they doing a notDefensor too?
>>5608330
uuh, yeah.. we've been talking about it for the past twenty or so posts, anon
>>5608372
>living in the past
Jokes aside, can maketoys Defensor and Computron swap limbs?
>>5608075
It's not really partsforming though. The parts that Groove and Streetwise clip onto are actually Hotspot's feet. They fold down to form the calves and then the Defensor feet plug into them. That's why Hotspot's feet have those rectangular holes in the toes. That's where the Defensor feet plug in. It's not too terribly different than what Fansproject's Menesor did. You could effectively still make Defensor without Groove and Streetwise, it just probably wouldn't stand very well without their weight helping to balance it.
Jaegertron when
>>5608500
God, I want him so bad. Would also like to see somebody give us a IDW Lockdown. I know we have RoTF Lockdown and he does serve as a good CHUG standin but seeing his IDW design with the round skeletal bits being replaced by nice clean blocky goodness really solidifies the G1 REEDUN look. I'd also accept an upgrade kit that didn't need to be removed for transformation, if that's at all possible.
>>5608438
Only their arms.
>>5608454
It kinda is. That's why I didn't say it was partsforming, but a strange new version of it.
>>5606215
Brian decided that TF Source were involved with the third party meet (they weren't) and closed their stall. The guy running the 3P meet voluntarily cancelled it so Brian would allow TF Source to open their stall again.
>>5608803
Well then, yet another reason to hate on Hasbro. How you ask?
Because these are the people they choose to let represent them.
>>5608094
The CW ones did a decent job of maintaining a slim profile for the 'copters though. That blades just looks like a mess.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykrK-cjOX9w
Have to say I'm a bit worried he didn't show him combing swoop nor show off his articulation in combined mode.
Just got my Wei Jiang MPP10, and this just awakened something in me.
Any other companies that make KO's / Bootlegs with comparable quality? And what's the best place to buy, preferably somewhere in Asia that will ship internationally. (ausfag)
>>5609182
no trailer? what's the price?
>>5607985
>>5608065
That's a fucking great looking torso. The angles on the chest armor really make it pop and the headsculpt speaks to me.
The limbs look like a clusterfuck though. Instead of being broken up in satisfying chunks it just looks like there is shit everywhere, especially those legs. The articulation and range look great though. I just can't get over Hotspot in other modes. Not that I care for G1 Hotspot's look, I just don't like Vulcan and how he's broken up. I do like how you can position the ladder on the combiner, but honestly I think I would prefer to leave it off both robot and combined mode. First aid and Blades just really don't do it for me either.
I picked up Streetwise though who is great.
>>5608992
That's a fuckhuge Swoop compared to his teammates. Gcreations looks to be improving and while the combined mode is looking worthwhile the bits that accomplish the transformation, like the removable parts, chests, arm connectors, and even port covers turn me way the hell off. Oh and the greebles. Jesus. At least their MP IDW tease looks like a much improved aesthetic. .
>>5609252
$75.99, no trailer, I think it's a separate purchase? Really my first delve into 3rd party or KO Transformers.
Been browsing TF Direct and saw what looks like a Coronation Starscream for pre-order. Are they a good place to get these stuff from? Or is there a cheaper place?
>>5607985
like other MT combiners looks good in combined mode but individuals are guaranteed to be a fiddly mess and not even look that much like the characters.
I'll stick to UW defensor.
>>5609323
I don't know why everyone complains about the single bots, I happen to like them a lot and think they're fun to play with. Groove is especially great!
>>5609378
Probably because people expect G1/CHUG/IDW (pick whatever) designs, and a lot of these stray too far from that.
>>5609285
>75
Steep for a KO. WJ makes good stuff though.
>>5609267
Fuck. Do those transform?
>>5609395
Where can I get it for cheaper? My dad wants one too.
I really wish for a 3rd party alternative to the CW/UW centerpiece bots
I really dislike that spammed Silverbolt mold

The boldforms lonewolf was an alternate menasor and that turned out to be a lemon. So be careful for what you wish for there.
>>5609890
Wasn't that just a failed attempt at a failed full combiner set that they slapped some crappy adapters on when it became obvious no one was interested?
>>5607985
This is how I'd imagine the WFC/FOC bots would look like if they landed on earth.
>>5607985
Gotta be honest, I love the looks of these guys. Vulcan is definitely a weak link (a bit too much robot/combiner detail visible in vehicle mode) but still looks great. The limb-bots look fantastic (especially Groove and Blades) and the combined mode, messy legs aside, looks awesome. But then I am a sucker for MT's anime-esque aesthetic.
I'll have whatever bath salts Badcube is having.
Seems like they're going for TF Prime designs with IDW aesthetics.
Given that these are obviously not MP imposters, I'm really hoping they aren't fuckhuge. Any larger than a voyager would bring me from "fuck yes" to "most likely pass."
Assuming they actually take this beyond the concept phase.
Finally got Blizzard in! He is a bit tricky at first but once you get the hang of him he is a lot of fun!

>>5610332
damn, good find anon.
if you find the Fanrpoject set for more than 120 bucks, then dont get it
>>5609890
Except that lonewolf was never designed to be a CW Torso. They just shoehorned in connectors/adapters for CW limbs.
Still a lemon though.
>>5609890
Yeah but Boldform clearly doesn't have a clue what they're doing. Plenty of other 3P companies have proven themselves to be pretty consistently good. Then again, those companies all would much rather do the whole combiner from scratch and really, it's better that way. There's not really much sense in polishing a turd when you're capable of crafting a gem.
>>5610015
Yeah, more robots that transform into randomly folded shit.
>>5610284
Honestly if a group did all the TFP/WfC/FoC designs I'd probably just sell most of my CHUG figures anyway.
>>5610233
Kinda my problem with a lot of Cybertronian forms. Not all of them fall into this trap but a lot of them end up as either a mess or a block with the excuse of "they're aliens!" I understand that but even alien vehicles still need to enforce certain design cues, features, and shapes to be recognizable as a what you're telling me it is. Megatron seems to have particularly notorious for this crap in some of his more recent adaptations and just end up looking like a half exploded robot that you folded up into a random shape. The robot mode still looks baller but jesus, those alt modes are awful.
>>5610283
Only if we get Prime styled Crazybolt.
>>5610532
Your entire post is just screaming Voyager and Deluxe TFA Megatron.
he can deal with it now.
>>5610609
how is that guy, is he worth $50?
>>5610566
I'd kill for 3P Rid designs, I dig the slick aesthetic a lot, but they couldn't even do TFA sculpts properly without fucking it up, I doubt they'd be able to do well with RID.
Plus I doubt non-nostalgial fueled characters would sell well, 3P thrives on fanwank.
>>5610620
He's one of the least frustrating IF toys out there - nice and simple. He's nice and chunky, with a good heft of extra loot.
If you've ever handled the IF Sixgun set, he's very similar to them - not as futtery as Blitzwing.
>>5610620
Imo, yes. I really like him and he feels high quality. Note though, that his wheels don't turn. He comes with the weapons packs that IF always includes and two sets of his own weapons, in white and gray. Some people think the IF datsuns also have static wheels, but no it's just Ultra Magnus.
>>5610620
IF's Not-Overlord (Evil Lord) is also pretty damn nice.
>>5610625
Whats frustrating about other IF stuff? I'm curious because I might buy more of it.
>>5611141
stuff tabs together so tightly your fingers break before the toy does.
>>5611158
I noticed in a bunch of reviews speaking about Not-Magnus that he was really tightly tabbed. I've got a Not-Overlord and he seemed to secure just fine, no extra pressure or weirdness needed.
Guessing this is a common problem then for them? Tolerances being too tight?

What the others said - some stuff pegs/tabs in REALLY TIGHTLY, and can be a pain to get free. Scary too as I don't really want to break the damn toy.
Overlord and Sixgun seemed to be fine for this, maybe needing a little bit of extra force. Magnus and Blitzwing had it bad though. Magnus seems fine now, but the fucking ankles on Blitz are a nightmare.
Transformation can also be a bit of a pain - parts need to be at the EXACT POINT AND ANGLE to fit in properly, and combined with the extra-tight joints this sometimes can get annoying.
Depends on the figure really.
>>5609649
Can anyone that owns both MPP-10 and MP-10 speak on this? Not that other anon, but thinking of picking one up.
>>5611331
I'm interested in getting the datsun set and the Metroplex buddies (I really dig that Slammer), how are they?
Also the upcoming IF Optimus with NotGod Ginrai armor looks cool as fuck
>>5611338
There's a whole bunch of youtube reviews of both.
>>5611384
The Datsuns are nice, but I found the altmodes a pain to get right - nothing seemed to sit exactly where I wanted them to. Unique weapons too, whereas the other sets come with the shotgun-drone thing, so not as many accessories but you are getting 3 figures out of it.
Slammer/Sixgun are amazing though. I love them.
I rather like Iron Factory Soundwave and Perceptor pack.
You can do a pretty good fan-mode microscope for Perceptor too.
>>5611402
Plus you can Kazooie Soundwave with one of the Birds
>>5610625
That magnus is the single most frustratinf figures i own, the altmode will NOT fit together, nothing that should tab tabs right, not the wheel panels or the arms to eachother or into the legs or the legs to eachother, and no matter what i can NOT get it to sit flat on the ground, cause the wheel panels mess things up and the front of the vehicle is tilted or just not touching the ground at all.
>>5611402
Pic of perceptor's fan mode?
>>5611402
>>5611555
>a weapon to surpass metal gear
>>5611555
>turns out Soundwave>Constructicons wasn't just him talking shit
Finally started getting my shit together and decided to get Quantron.
Only got these two so far and loving them.
I really want to go in on these guys but I'm not confident in TFC's combiner tolerances/ports and skinny combiner torso. Also why the translucent plastic on this guy?
>>5612005
nope, even if tak does no change to liokaiserm I'll take hastak liokaiser over 700 dollar megazord port liokaiser
>>5612005
tiny hands
>>5611555
...Does that set come with all those weapons?
>>5612005
TFC still can't figure out how to do combiner hips that aren't just the middle guy's hips.
>>5612281
No, I believe he comes with two sets, I just have all their stuff aka tons of weapons.
>>5612696
How would you rate the various sets? I got Not-Overlord and I love'em, thinking of nabbing Magnus next maybe, does he come with any of the weapon sets? It'll give some of my weapon-deficient official guys weapons to hold if they do, they're all 5mm pegs right?
>>5612685
Hastak's Silverbolt really was refreshing since it reversed the orientation. I want to see more combiners do that. Also taur gestalts, but I'll never get that.
>>5612778
Yep, all 5mm pegs on the IF stuff. Magnus is great, he comes with one or two of the weapon sets I believe.
>>5610622
I'd also be up for 3P Rid Stuff. I'd kill for an Underbite that can actually pose to flex his pecs.
>>5613070
>that clusterfuck of a right hand
Also what optimus is that
their also going to make a defensor kit.
>>5613073
Sentinel's Optimus "I turn into a pen" Prime
>>5613070
Godammit, I just want simple hands and feet with ankle joints.
If uncle Billy never ships my ko ones, I just gonna make some with bionicle joints or something. Jfc.
>>5612832
MP Underbite with flexing action.
Yes please.
>>5611853
Get Blindfire next. Best figure of the lot. Then Celitras is awesome. Sonic drill leaves a bit to be desired, he's really fiddly. But the set is for sure one of the most fun to play with.
>>5613074
>IDW Bruticus
Seeing the Hot Toys Optimus with Megatron's weaponry made me wish for a 3P notMP Guiltaur
I know it's silly but I like it
>>5613074
That hips/thigh piece would make or break the set.
>>5613604
Looks like it folds to give Bruticus wider hips kind of like some of the G1 combiners. Hopefully it's secure and stable enough to actually be worth anything.
>>5613074
Oh my
>>5613074
But there is no IDW Bruticus.
>>5611853
Where are you finding them piecemeal?
>>5613697
Huh. I actually like the gun hands and that they kept the CW gun knuckles.
>>5613787
That looks pretty cool.
Wasn't there some IF-designed Megatron Legends size guy being put out by another company or something too?
>>5613730
they've been releasing them individually at a cheaper overall price than the original boxset. check the usual places like bbts, tfsource, thechosenprime, or capturedprey
>>5613853
That would be iron factory designed but coming out as Generation Toy's label but we haven't seen much of it.
>>5613074
I miight get this. I already have the PE hands and feet, but the default crotch plate bothers me a ton. If I do get this I'll probably give the gray hands and feet to Vicky if/when I get her.
>>5613697
It is kinda cool how the finger tips have machine gun turrets in them.
This is good enough for me. Getting the Iron Factory one too though.
>>5614303
Kup looks neat too
>>5614309
The front of the alt mode is a little fucky....
>>5614312
.... BUT it also turns completely inside out which is pretty fucking cool.
Not totally sold on Megatron right now though, will need to see some reviews first at least.
>>5614312
Aw damn, I've been looking forward to a new G1 Kup since he has such an interesting vehicle mode, but this really doesn't do it any justice.
The Arcee looks alright though, and I wouldn't mind having Kup come with her. Have we seen Arcee's altmode yet? I forgot.
>>5613859
Sweet Christmas.
>>5614446
Meanwhile the whole box set is on clearance at BBTS for the same price they are as individuals. So why wait?
Anybody have the MMC Nova Prime? Scale with soda can please?
>>5614313
L-Lewd
Maketoys possibly going full super robot MPs and not giving a fuck.
And in other Optimus news Second Chance's Upscale/KO/Rework of the Generations FOC Prime got painted test shots. Though with Planet X doing a full new figure and that official non transforming one coming out I guess they're desperate to shove this out the door.
>>5605707
Either:
>bought before Clonedroid existed
>want to support the actual designers so they make more
>like the MMC version over the Clonedroid changes
>>5612005
No idea why they used so much transparent red. All I can guess is that either they just think it looks good and/or they have to have a clear sprue for the light piping anyway, and it worked out more economical to put more parts on that set while they were at it. Honestly, I kinda like most of it, it helps break up the rest. Those clear hands worry me a bit though in terms of long-term durability.
>>5612685
This one gets a bit of an excuse from that given that Jarugar makes up only the hips, not the whole torso, and it is G1 accurate. If you didn't do it that way, people would call it out for being inaccurate.
>>5613262
Clearly these guys have broken into Sara Pitre-Durocher's house and have seen what Bruticus will look like in TAAO.
(I'm only assuming he'll show up there, as all the signs are pointing to it)
>>5615271
Transformers are already the super robot type. Also your pic is definitely not MP.
>>5615394
A: transformers are not super robot. If anything they are closer to real robot.
B: how the hell can you say it's not mp scaled when there is absolutely no scale reference in that picture?
>>5615395
>transformers are not super robot
Generally, yes. But series like Masterforce, Victory and Galaxy Force/Cybertron definitely go pretty super.
>>5614313
that is a really cool transformation scheme although it does make a waist swivel impossible
>>5615395
>if anything they are closer to real robot
No, they are not anywhere near real. They are sentient machines powered by basically magic - that's pretty far from real.
>>5615271
JUST MAKE BRAVE TOYS, FAGGOTS
>>5615271
I sure wish we could get more Beast Wars and other non-G1 properties...
>>5615391
>Sara Pitre-Durocher
I looked this person up
How can IDW let such a disgusting sub-human work on their books?
>>5615435
>powered by basically magic
They are powered by energon, not that it makes any difference, power source has no bearing on what genre they are. In the comics, they are drawn with lots of mechanical detail and they take real damage as a result of combat.
>>5615435
If they aren't powered by some kind of emoshuns at one point then it's not super robot
>>5615480
What's wrong with her exactly?
>>5615484
By that logic something like Getter would also be real, which it most certainly isn't. Real robots don't have personalities, emotions, or things like that. Real would be more if they were just mechs piloted by humans.
