Okay.
One of the Botcon Megatron scalpers has made himself known.
>>5614076
>mfw.
>>5614007
Yes and No.
In Japanese they are not, in English yeah like at the end of the show they featured the human characters from Armada and Energon having a cameo.
Personally I pretend Cybertron is on its own.
>>5614076
They never should have removed the fucking limit, that's such shit.
>>5614076
>got 14 for people who were not there in time
Aka I'm going to scalp shit because I'm scum that values scalping over sleep.

the funny thing is that I don't even subscribe to Unicron.com or have any TF related likes on my page besides the official page from years ago, yet it still popped up on my feed.
>>5614102
Hey, don't be a dick! He was just trying to buy them for his thirteen friends.
>>5614110
already have, sempai.
Lets see, if he sold each Megatron for $300(generous, its probably closer to $500), and paid $90 per Megatron, he maid about $2,940 off them. Three fucking grand for a few minutes on a line.
>>5614076
Who's GT?
Becky's a full-time employee, right? FP is 200% to blame in this, producing a highly desired figure in low quantities and removing all limits Saturday morning. They give no fucks. What scum. "Blah blah blah, businesses have no obligations to cater to non-attendees of their convention!" I was an attendee for many years, bought lots of their exclusives. It's still a shitty situation for me for them to have such a hard line. "That's just the marketplace, bra!" Yup, and it sucks huge donkey dicks. Don't try and tell me it's fair. You just want to make justifications for getting away with exploitation.
God, this 2016 Megatron has me so pissed off. I can't fucking get over it. It has me more angry than the existence of Star Trek Voyager, and that's pretty severe.
>>5614137
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll make a mass market release of it seeing how it's so popular!
>>5614076
>not limiting it to 1-2 per person
>>5614140
With Hasbro's modern budget it'd be a $100 Platinum figure to get anything like that at retail.
WITH THIS POST I SUMMON DATGUY
So what's up with Longhaul these days?
>>5614145
>Year of the Rooster exclusive
The red and orange are traditional Chinese festive colors, guys. Nothing to do with that Botcon Megatron *wink wink*
I haven't bought a new transformer since legends shockwave in early december. Is quillfire good? He looks nice, but it looks like the cheapest way to get him would be importing the takara one, and I don't know if he's worth it.
>>5614148
I don't know but this may be his handiwork

>Giant chicken/Decepticon symbol on wing
>new headsculpt..that references movie Megatron

>>5614140
Yeah right.
I was hoping it would get bootlegged before I remembered that the BotCon 2007 Megatron worth $1K wasn't bootlegged despite it's market value. I've lost all hope.
>>5614153
I love him because the toy has a lot of character on its own merit. But I don't think he's worth premium prices because it's still RID-warrior levels of budget and engineering.
From your stateside friends, it sounds like the mass release hasn't reached there yet. IMO, be patient and wait for that.
>>5614148
>>5614161
TF:RID Deployer Class Crazybolt.
He's crazy because he shoots balls from his mouth.
>>5614161
That's Crazybolt. He's an frilled lizard/dragon thing that wants to go fast to the point of religious obsession and was arrested for mass arson and destruction of property in the name of accommodating that need for speed.
He has a little yesman named Slicedice.
>>5614167
OK, waiting it is then. I have hasbro strongarm and drift, and while they were pretty alright, there's no way they'd cut it for 25-30 bucks.
Has botcon or something announced a Grimlock with longer poseable t-rex arms yet?
>>5614148
I think he finished the renders and moved onto Hook, but as far as I know he hasn't done much with the project since then.
I ended up seeing Chop Shop on a peg at Walmart (along with most of the final legends wave of CW) so I bought him and Shockwave.
I'm surprised how much the colors make me care about the Skrapnel mold because originally I didn't give a fuck about it since so many of the 'cons I have are already purple, silver and black. Having a big burgundy and orange bug up front really helps break it up.
>>5614199
I really wish they'd given him some new mandibles, at least. He looks nice and all, but I look at that silhouette and all I see is red shrapnel.
>>5614208
I'm planning on painting the inside of them a shiny silver at some point as a bit of a side thing (to a thing I had planned for titans return) to make him feel a bit more lively. For now though the orange on the legs and the chest deco does enough for me alongside the new head to say he's his own man.
>>5614042
I hope I find Quillfire soon.
>>5614152
TFW I'll never own Sriracha Megatron.
>>5614137
Gonna second this considering they pulled this shit on Saturday and not Sunday. They must have wanted to get rid of it fast or just very stupid.
And I've been screwed over SDCC Figuarts Goku previously because Bluefin originally didn't set a limit for pre-show people and didn't have enough to go around on later days.
>>5614193
Nope.
>>5614251
The panels that slide to either side of Chop Shop/Skrapnel's legs along with the bug legs on the arms make me think the mold was intended to double as both to start with since his toy had these flaps that just sort of hung out on either side.
I don't get the hype.
Just because it's hard to find?
>>5614318
That's my opinion on all Legends in general.
>>5614325
>There's hype? Never seen it
Just read about a lot of people that really want to get their hands on it. It's going for around twenty bucks on eBay right now and that's just silly.
>>5614331
And he does not fit on Sky Reign. Nor is that feature mentioned anywhere on either his packaging or instructions.
>>5614331
>how the fuck does he fit on sky reign"
You mean people really are in denial that it was just thrown in the wave so they could reuse groove and say there's a legends for that combiner too?
>>5614325
I mean I don't get the hype for Legends. They're tinier, less articulated and often lack head articulation. They're like poor man's scout class.
>>5614342
From my experience, they usually DO have head articulation, even when I didn't expect it to be possible. Bombshell and legends 2-pack Bumblebee are the only ones I own that don't, and Bumblebee is pretty bad anyway so I couldn't give less of a fuck.
Not only that, when done well their articulation tends to do a lot more visually than most figures a class or two above them. Blackjack can do all kinds of shit with and without his axe.
Titans Return seems to be continuing that tradition. I can see Wheelie easily being one of the most posable legends figures so far.
>>5614342
They are scout class. The class name just changed.
>>5614395
If they are, then the scout class budget was severely trimmed.
>>5614399
We get it. You just want to make people angry. We've seen your "argument" before.
New Thew!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpiYNUPINHE
>>5614414
Not at all. Just my opinion.
>>5614434
Your opinion is based on quite a bit of misinformation.
>>5614199
Chopshops are the best.
Upsie daisy!
>>5614441
So is yours.
Legends and Scout classes coexisted at one point, Legends are not Scouts, they're their own class.
>>5614441
No, but the idea that Legends are renamed scouts seems to be. Legends are renamed Cyberverse commanders, which were different from scouts.
I thought Legions were the new Legends and Legends were the new Scouts?
I found the Legends Shockmaster today and I'm super surprised with how immediately expressive he is. Thanks to that head range and foot tilt he can get into some really nice stances.
>>5614449
Yes, but now Legends are Legion, and Scouts are Legends.
Size classes have been bouncing around names for ages now. Deluxes used to be called Basics, and Supreme has been roped in with the new Titan class Metroplex pioneered.
So Legends were not always Scouts, but they are now.
>>5614464
>Deluxes used to be called Basics,
kek did you start collecting post movie or something? Deluxes have been renamed a few things(Super-cons, warrior class), but Basic was the pre-Scout class size.
>>5614471
Sort of. I used to have a few Beast era figures but after Beast Machines I jumped ship. Supreme Cheetor hurt me bad.
I hopped back in around the time of Energon, and by the time I picked up on the nuances of how the pricing worked, Cybertron mostly solidified the Deluxe and Voyager class' names.
>>5614485
Well then you know shit, kid.
>>5614442
Are the FP Deluxe Insecticons worth it? I want a modern Barrage. I know that TFSource is sitting on a ton of them still and are desperately trying to get rid of them last time I checked.
>>5614428
Huh. I would not have pegged Thew for a fan of CHVRCHES, but that's cool. But please, someone get this man a hobby knife!
>>5614442
>the minicon is the only one with the correct mandibles
how
>>5614519
It's the only one who was designed to be a Chop Shop
>>5614428
This reminds when when I bought a Deathscythe model kit at Barnes and Noble's. It seemed about close enough to interact with my Transformers, but I kept ham handing it so I just set him on a shelf in a generic holding weapon in one hand other one in the air pose.
got these and a lot of gobots at a flea market today, paid 35 for both, how did I do?
>>5614545
anyone interested in these?
>>5614175
is he articulated in alt mode?
would like a lizard thing that atleast has leg joints
>>5614545
>All these flavors of Swindle
>>5614562
The thing about RID decepticons is that a lot of their robot modes ARE animals, and they turn into cars and stuff despite that.
That being said, Crazybolt's robot mode is definitely articulated with hinges that facilitate transformation but are in all the right spots and angles anyway, but he doesn't have quite the full range of motion you'd want from a quadruped monster.
>>5614545
Post pics of mismatched scramble combiners with those Aerialbots/Swindles and Scattershot/What's his face from the Terrorcons
>>5614148
I've abandoned the Legends Devastator idea. I feel that Deluxe sized, CW compatible figures would be much more desirable.
Will post pics when I've finished all six in about forty years time.
>>5614551
Yo I want that canada dry. I'm fucking thirsty. $10. Paypal.
>>5614493
I have the ninja versions of the mold and they're breddy good. Articulation is kind of meh for the original price, but the 3pack is def worth the 80 it ususlly goes for.
Heads up on eBay. Remember those Goodwill Intell sets. They on Goodwills Ebay now
>>5614562
His tight transformation forced them to give him quite some articulation...or maybe his articulation allows them to give him a tight transformation, idk.
Anyways, there's at least 3 joints in each limb including the tail. Not exactly the full range but good enough for quite a lot of poses for a beastformer.
>>5614783
Also for $99
>>5614783
it the set worth it? I'm tempted.
>>5614798
not selling him, I should have specified I only wanted to get rid of the gobots
>>5614810
Do you have the UFO slut?
>>5614813
Do you see it in either of the 2 pictures?
>>5614827
I have no idea. It is upside down so I cannot process the forms, only edges and colors.
>>5614832
If only there were ways to fix that.
>>5614793
Worth it? Eh. Those are probably two of the strongest G1 figures so if you're interested in the original molds at all, probably.
the most possible you may be able to see a g1 combiner
>>5614846
Drunk?
>>5614851
I spelt posable possible so pose-ably.
>>5614846
Ooh, did you also get the G1 hands and feet? I wanna see those on a CW combiner.
pick these up for 10 bucks a piece at my local flea market why is break neck going for so much on ebay???
>>5614925
Stunticon Brake-Neck and Aerialbot Quickslinger were both released outside of their combiner teams (their usual spots were taken by new characters Offroad and Alpha Bravo). In North America, they were only available for a short time in online retailers.
Because of their limited run, and the fact that they are characters from G1 that were replaced in the mainline, their aftermarket value got real high.
Good find, anon. Where was the flea market?
>>5614936
it was in vineland new jersey. they had combiner wars ultra magnus for 40 thought about getting him
>>5614846
Does anyone know if many of the g1 accessories have 5mm pegs?
>>5614936
Another reason why Combiner wars was fucked.
>>5615019
most all of the 'bigger' bots from headmasters on definitely do. and the rest are mainly 3mm. so surprisingly still compatible with most of today's toys.
>>5615036
Groove was always fucked the moment he wasn't part of the main line, terrible planning.
>>5615037
G1 Metroplex has 5MM post and pegs
>>5615047
>>5615020
>>5614050
Because he couldn't stomach the things they do in war.
>>5615047
he sure does, buddy.
>>5614788
Fuck me. I paid like 160 bucks for him at Toysrus when it first came out. I figured it would end up like Metroplex, costing a god damn fortune later, so I dished out the cash then to avoid the risk. I'm almost tempted to buy one just to hang onto it and try and make some money back.
>>5615104
Most people ended up buying the UW version thanks to elbowgate and the usual paint apps, so I assume there was more US stock left over compared to Metroplex.
Also I'd avoid Toys R Us unless you know the one near you does price-matching. They jack prices up like no one's business in my experience.
>>5615056
I must be retarded or something, because typing the name on the package into a few sites (eBay, Amazon, etc) doesn't return that. Shit, I am fucking dumb. What am I doing wrong here?
>>5615108
From what I understand, the distribution on US crazybolt has been really fucking wonky. The anon popping into the thread with him is the only person i've seen who actually has him.

>>5615580
What else do we call it, TF con?
Hascon involves everything under hasbro's umbrella, like my little pony.
Now all those who attend can learn to be autistic with the masters of it, the tf fandom!
>>5615579
On the plus side - the con exclusives will be slightly less shit.
>>5615583
>>What else do we call it, TF con?
The Bot and Pony show.

>>5615583
>>5615589
>>5615600
Calling it right now, the first Hascon exclusive is a Battle Unicorn remold.
>>5615608
There was supposedly a Battle Unicorn redeco/remold called Twilight Sparkle Prime design shown at a panel of exclusives that will never happen. Considering that we thought Rubber Ducky Megatron would never happen, who wants to bet Twilight Sparkle Prime will be the first Hascob exclusive?
>>5615574
>a convention specifically for both Transformers and MLP
It's like a black hole of autism.
>>5614545
Good! Get some bootleg combiners for hands and feet and make crazy ass combiner out of the mismatched guys you have.
>>5615574
GI Joe Headmasters?

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/5mm_post
>>5615387
I hope it gets released in the US someday. I'm tired of nothing but wave 1 one-steps and that giant Bumblebrick.
>>5615574
Here we go.
This is going to be fucking amazing.
On the plus side, they can have more variety with the guests. Especially if they are VA's who have had roles in all of their franchises.
>>5615199
>Starscream was killed by the Predacons at the end of "Predacons Rising".
it wasn't implied that he died, though. They wouldn't off such a popular character in a low-key way like that.
in any case, barely anyone stays dead in transformers especially starscream
>>5615579
That's like the equivalent of a "boys only club with no girls allowed".
>>5615653
I don't know how you thought that was a good analogy.
Ok, Lets talk.
>UW exclusives
I can understand superion and manasor being regular releases, and grand galvatron and grand convoy as exclusives, but despite valid points I still don't get why defensor was an exclusive, while computron wasn't.
Bruticus is fine
Seems like hasbro powermaster prime is up for pre-order in some places, been looking around, despite the drag grey he is infact toy accurate.
But what would takara do, I know the hands will go from red to blue, what else could they do?
>>5615662
Maybe Japan actually likes the Technobots? Maybe they also want those sweet American dollars?
>>5615662
Running theory is where a whole limb from scratch had to be made so costs were higher so exclusives saved on the cost.
Even though Computron is heavily retooled all his limbs are existing molds
My theory is they had no idea UW was going to take off like it did so they were making the less popular ones exclusives
>>5615574
There's already an official GI Joe Convention, and it usually goes pretty well. I don't see the need to cancel that in favor of an all Hasbro, all the time convention. Throwing the Bronies in is a terrible idea, but i'm going to avoid laying blame for starting shit, just rather avoid shit in the 1st place.
>>5615672
They'll probably change the grill on his chest to look like the powermaster engine.
If we are REALLY lucky, they might even make an actual Hi-figure.
>>5615677
>Running theory is where a whole limb from scratch had to be made so costs were higher so exclusives saved on the cost.
I'm guessing bruticus is a fank wank's dream then since fatoff is a whole new limb
>>5615672
They will have flesh paint on the headmasters face
>>5615672
Extra paint here and there, especially things like painted wheels that Hasbro neglects in order to prioritize looking good in the packaging. Probably a more detailed Titan Master, as well.
>>5615672
Takara could retool the chest piece to look like the cartton with fake windows or like the godbomber armor, I'm holding on the hasbro one until takara shows theirs, besides hasbro leaders rarelly are hard to find.
>>5615686
>fatoff
is he fat? his chest just seems big
>>5615679
>old man in a robot suit combines with Optimus Prime
seriously, who at Hasbro thought this was a good idea? what kid would find this cool?
>>5615703
Well he is a bit bulbous.
But remember, UW strafe is the same mold but they got him backwards, what's to stop people rotating the limbs around and having a boxy but less detailed chest?
>>5615618
Unfortunately given that my favourite colour is purple and the fact that Battle Unicorn is a badass mould, I'd probably want it too
>>5614040
I still can't believe how Sentinel fucked up with getting the Transformers license
>Let's make an Optimus that becomes a pen! and a non transforming Scorponok that costs 600 dollars!
its no wonder they havent made more transformers
>>5615672
It's not really toy accurate since he's a headmaster and the truck can't become a robot on it's own.
>>5615724
its a shame because this company can make some seriously impressive, high-end robot toys that put even MPs to shame. so it sucks how they fucked up
>>5615678
FunPub was legit the only thing keeping GI Joe on Life Support from what I heard.
>>5615724
>optimus pen
But its a damn nice looking highly articulate optimus, the pen bit was shit though
>Scorponok that costs 600 dollars!
Least it was big.
Also what about the megadrive megatron and ps optimus prime, have we forgotten about those too?
>>5615729
other than another movie, i wish there was a way t fix GI Joe, but that's another thread
>>5615726
By toy accurate I meant deco wise and more or less inspired, look at TR Scourge, chest sticker and yellow knee spots, the fact he's a head master isn't toy acurate, neither is takara's legends version "anime accurate" because he ain't no damn head master.
I thought it was universally agreed "accurate" meant deco wise, not toy functionality wise, otherwise titan devastator would be wrong since hook can't use his damn crane
>>5615730
>Also what about the megadrive megatron and ps optimus prime, have we forgotten about those too?
damn they made those too?
it's like they made everything except proper transformers or transformers action figures (ones that arent two feet tall, at least)
So here is mp ratchet with the cross stickers on, obviously no modification to them.
>>5615739
But those 2 were proper transformers, just not in conventional vehicle/weapon forms.
They do charge too much so it may of been for the best
>>5615621
>It's like a black hole of autism.
In my eyes,
Indisposed,
In disguise
As no one knows.
No one sings like you anymore.
What's pathetic is that this is probably what Brian Savage would have wanted to do to save money, but wasn't allowed, and now that he's lost it, it's going to happen.
I imagine the crossover of fans is going to be so insignificant that it won't really be of any benefit to us fans, and if anything it will make it worse for us.
I just hope we're all reading way too much into the name.
No. No. I'm right. This is the beginning of the end. The quality of the engineering and the corners cut on the toys were a huge blinking warning sign of the trend to follow. It's all down-hill from here, boys. We're going to get shit even worse. We're going to get really bad exclusives at the same horrible prices or worse like the Chinese exclusives, on shitty molds, at a shared convention that will be worse and worse as it drives more fans away from a dwindling market. The large target fiction of movies and TV shows will remain peurile with any semblance of intelligence remaining in the tiny comic market, until they eventually accidentally crowd that out with too many executive demands for marketing purposes. Hasbro will swallow up Mattel eventually, even though they can resist their latest bid. When Hasbro is the only major player, they'll start swinging their dick around. When the market shows clear signs of death those at the top will show their true colors and cannibalize their own company, guaranteeing it fails sooner just to wring another dollar out of the corpse.
I envision an elite BotCon convention in China for their high class customers. There will be no middlemen for those exclusives because the exclusives will be meant only for the rich people. I imagine there will be super rare exclusives among them like the Jojo Swarovski diamond exclusives. Unicron made out of gold? Primus made out of diamond?
>>5615737
Glad we cleared that up, be sure to not make that mistake again.
>>5614925
I've been out of the TF loop for awhile. There's a Decepticon called Brake-Neck? Wow that's metal.
>>5615744
>They do charge too much so it may of been for the best
true, but for a small company, its understandable. especially with the par of quality that they have.
They're definitely safer purchases than most third party companies, who charge even more money and are more prone to bad quality
>>5615705
They probably wanted kids to respect their elders.
Personally I find it refreshing when old men are made action heroes.
>>5615754
yup, there's also Vertebreak, who looks nowhere as cool as his name suggests
>>5615724
I lot of it is probably out of their control. Hasbro doesn't allow any other licensed company to mass produce transforming Transformer toys. Takara only licenses transforming Transformers as limited convention runs.
>>5615759
>Personally
Okay that's great, but you're not a kid. You are an adult that can look at this in a much different light.
>>5615724
I'm sure part of the license was a line that said "you can't make any regular transforming robot toys, cause that's stepping on our game". HasTak is fine with ridiculous Optimus pens, or ridiculously large nontransforming scorpion bots, but anything resembling a product HasTak would actually sell themselves would be crossing the line.
>>5615705
>who at Hasbro
I'm guessing next to no one at Hasbro knew or cared.

Are you okay?
So I finished installing some lights into my shelves. And I need some nice, clear acrylic risers, or something of the like. Does anyone know where I can find such things?

Why does bruticus have no friends?
>>5615767
Even as a kid I hated kid characters. I never identified with Spike or any of that shit. I wanted to be like Optimus and Jazz.
Adult characters were always refreshing but in the 80's and 90's we had a lot of adult heroes.
>>5615823
I love that Powerglide can do this
>>5615803
Oh hey, is that ROTF Leader Jetfire? I always wondered what people thought of him.
>>5615854
Fiddly as fuck to get into plane mode, but it does look real good, it's massive. Robot's not based on the movies final version and due to the legs can potentially fall backwards, but the articulation ain't bad. He's good if you like the character, but If you just want the robot, I'd suggest getting the Action Master one.
>>5615786
No. I have no place. There is nowhere to go. There are no proper channels for me. The traditional systems have failed me for decades.
I think I'm going to give up on everything full-bore instead of half-assed.
>>5615854
Shitload of underkibble in jetmode, pretty much his entire robot mode is in plain sight, never bothered me though
>>5615813
I hadn't finished restocking the shelves when I took the pic.
>>5615387
I really want Thunderhoof.
I just wish he was voyager scale in parts count and not just in price.
>Hascon
Where everyone gets conned by Hasbro
>>5615949
suck no voyagers in the line, Grimlock being a FOC Grimlock retool was a lucky fluke.
>>5615844
Be a thumbnail?
How does /tfg/ feel about the 2001 RID Optimus and Ultra Magnus toys?
>>5615997
I think Optimus is pretty good, but his super mode is fiddly. Ultra Magnus has boots made for walkin'
Who's ready for Hascon????
All the bronies and Joe pedos under one roof with all the tf fans who just want to get their robot fix in peace!!!
>>5616039
>implying Transformers fans aren't just as gross
I hope no-one goes in hopes of seeing other Hasbro-licensed stuff. Imagine a Marvel fan or a Yokai Watch fan getting tickets in hope of getting a con exclusive and wading through the masses of bronies and manchildren.
>>5616039
Hasbro can't catch the 3P's no matter what they do.
>>5615705
Ginrai himself was a fairly young if I remember right, but that was only in Japan's Masterforce anime.
>>5615997
Prime is fantastic. Hip articulation is a little too spaced out, though. Aside from that he's got tons of different configurations you can set up with the different parts.
Not a fan of the big ass ladder in Super Mode, though, but I think the figure's still worth your time. I got mine only missing the wheel-gun for like $50.
Can't speak for Magnus, but I hear he's only good for combining with Prime.
>130+ Intel Ops sets on sale via Goodwill's eBay store this morning
>only 16 left in stock right now, will probably sell out within a half hour
proof that if platinum sets were reasonable prices to start with instead of that $100 and up crap, they'd sell better.
>>5615880
>action master
>2009 RotF Jetfire
Say what now?
>>5616184
the one with not-revoltech joints
>>5616184
Have you not heard? They are redoing the Action Masters after Titans Return.
It will be a whole line of non-transformable modern characters with smaller transformable accessories.
>>5615997
Magnus rules in vehicle mode. In robot mode he's lacking, but that's because he shoulders most of the Omega Prime combination burden.
RID Prime/Fire Convoy is probably the second most fun OP toy ever, after Cybertron. Really great in vehicle mode, normal mode w/ base, and super mode. Just looks great, fun to transform, well articulated, and solid. And there are so many options. And weapons.
Omega Prime looks amazing, but it kind of a bitch to put together.
That set is one of the best Transformers purchases you can make, imo.
>>5616039
I welcome it if it brings more crossover toys into the mix. I'm honestly supprosed they haven't done any sort of jokey MLP transformer yet and G.I. Joe can use all the life support it can get.
>>5615957
Seriously what a terrible name. I hope this is just one of those, "we'll buy the name in case we need it" sort of deals.
>>5616217
Titan Master Scarlet, Cover Girl, and Baroness with oppai missiles?
>>5615892
Same here man. These companies don't really compete for the market's attention anymore. Instead they fight to control channels and restrict choice. Then if after all that they are rejected, they make excuses. Boo hoo, Obama, boo hoo government, boo hoo kids don't like dinosaurs, etc.
>>5616214
My money is actually on Armada-style Powerlinx being the Generations-wide gimmick after Titans Return.
>>5616307
Yeah, that'd be really nice.
Especially if they threw in some Pretender characters where the inner bot is a minicon instead.
>>5616215
I was recently able to get a prime near completely. Only missing one ultra prime foot and the wheelgun.
It's not easy finding just that one part. Can't do much without it.
>>5615574
It'll be a cold day in hell before I go to a con with a bunch of bronies. They'll take over and ruin the whole goddamn thing.
>>5616335
Are they like merging it with Bronycon? That was the official Hasbro con for the horsefuckers, right?
Ah well, it's not like I'd rather go to TFcon over Botcon any day anyway.
>>5616335
I'm sure they don't want you around them either, Jin.
But no one wants you around, even /pol/ thinks you're shit.
I always forgot how big CW Devastator ends up when I merge all my Constructicons together! It's so imposing.
>>5616346
That's not Jin you putz. Anon copy pasted a comment from that one asshole at TFW.
>>5616335
the amount of butthurt is hysterical.
>>5616315
Yeah, I feel you. I got an amazing lot of Beast Wars (pic related) a friend got at a yard sale. gave it to me for my birthday. I've found some of the parts, but finding just a TM Tarantulas gun (in any color) is impossible.
Same with Tigerhawk's missiles.
>>5616311
I like that idea a lot. Pretenders had such great designs. And maybe we could get a mass retail Metalhawk?
>>5616374
>Buzzderp
Get rid of it.
>>5616374
Damn. Those are some good finds. Im still on the fence about terrorgator especially when eBay prices are usually over $10 and I hear mixed reviews about him.
>>5614177
Sounds like an Ork to me.
>>5615574
Please. Warhammerfags are Ponyfags are TFfags are bonklefags. Hence the crossovers and the common attitude of bitching about an upcoming product and buying it when it comes out anyway.
The exceptions are usually just different extremes of the autism spectrum.
Personally I can't wait for the worst of the bronies to meet the worst of the TFfags under the same roof. I hope there will be fights.
>>5616390
He's easily worth $10. I love his riot shield and shotgun. And he's insanely well articulated, if a bit strange. Beast mode looks great, but isn't super stable.
At $10, he's a steal. Amazing paint, too.
>>5616387
Do you just hate the tripfriend that uses his name?
I never would have bought the toy on my own, but he's pretty cute in beast mode. Glad I have him now. Sky Shadow is better than I thought he'd be, too.
>>5616391
I hope a fat ponyfag fights Walky.
>>5616343
>Are they like merging it with Bronycon? That was the official Hasbro con for the horsefuckers, right?
Nah, Bronycon is a fan-thing. The writers just always show up.
>>5616387
Eat shit, Buzzclaw is one of the most fun basics.
>Dat satisfying transformation
>dat vicious prehistoric bug/reptile monster alt mode
>dat wing backpack that becomes claw weapon
>>5616374
You got incredibly lucky on that. Fox Kids Tarantulas alone can cost a pretty decent sum so getting one for cheap is a miracle.
>>5616408
I agree that he's good. Also the little things on his robot arms were written up in the guide book to be energy disc shooters, which I also love. If he was in the show, the animators would have definitely made those into his ranged weapon.
>>5616410
Yeah, and it was a gift. So double lucky. The fox kids TM Tarantulas and Tigatron were the ones I was most excited about.
>>5615387
Cant wait for mine to come. I got takaras
New Thew...sorta!

Imagine if they made a con exclusive pony transformer. The TFfags would hate it because trukk not pony while the bronies would hate it because >nohooves.
Why do people hate this Walky guy anyway? All I know about him is that he made an unfunny comic.
