Sounds silly I know, but one is for anime export(i.e. I paid in advance) because the yen might strengthen and make the figure more expensive by September otherwise. Second was from HLJ, which is the one I may cancel.. Third is from BBTS for the Mace accessory.
>>
>>5620351
I like my Brawl (waist works).

I appreciate the fact that it's one of the few limb molds with a really tidy handfootgun storage (on the backpack). And any bot with port for wrist-mounted guns is wonderful in my eyes.

That being said, if you're not planning on using it as a proper CW limb at all, there are better tank toys out there. Megatronus for one is a lot more versatile.
>>
>>5620424
Is bbts the only place with the mace? I was still considering anime export or hlj.
>>
>>5620493
TFsource should have it, too. Japanese stores won't have that version because the mace is exclusive to mainland Asia. Stores that buy stock from Hasbro asia(which distributes the MPs in Asia) will have it, which usually means US webstores.
>>
>>5620497
Mmm. A diecast mace is pretty cool. I might just bite the bullet and order from bbts. It's only a difference of a few 10s of dollars. Eh.

Headmaster was a line I wish I had as a kid, it looks fun. I recently got my first headmaster (Skullcruncher) at a con, and I'm hyped for Titan Returns.

I mean... there are other maces out there too, but to each his own.
>>
>>5620547
I feel like he's sort of the end result of the whole CW series. One thing I don't like though is on the swindle mold you can't have swindle turned a click and have his knee bent because he's square at the end.
>>
Just got Bruticus and I need to know if he's suppose to lean forward so much. I can move it back a click, but it just looks bad.
>>
>>5620556
Happens with my Defensor too, I just tilt him upwards
>>
>>5620556
Move only one of the legs back and he should stabilize a bit more.

There's a more complex fix to the ratchets that moves how the ratchet catches and straightens him out, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have glue on hand and know for sure what you're doing.

>Blurr could've been Brainstorm

But they're specifically making a Brainstorm with some pretty extensive retooling of the Blurr mold, anon.

Also fuck Snapdragon, it's about time Alpha Trion got an actual figure that wasn't a con exclusive or a tiny repaint to justify a small man being included with Takara magnus.
>>
>>5620688
Blurr should be a retool of Brainstorm, currently Brainstorm suffers from being the retool whereas Blurr doesn't have any major flaws.
>>
>>5620679
But what if we get Galvatron AND the Horrorcons?
>>
>>5620694
Got that the other way around man.
Blurr's head looks weirdly large to cover up the arms, but Brainstorm looks entirely fine because we're used to the idea of a headmaster head being larger. than normal. The only real downside is that the guns on the front of his ship mode can't be used as dual-wielded pistols, and on a personal level I think the combined shield and blasters looks sick.
>>
>>5620703
Apeface was revealed to be one of those titan master and minivehicle packs.

As if to rub it in, his mini-vehicle could only ever really BE Apeface related since it goes from jet to gorilla and has a solid amount of detail.
>>
>>5620706
Nope, I'm correct, the altmode is Blurr with wings rather than Brainstorm without wings.
>>
>>5620679
I get the full toys, at least in theory, but how exactly are Squeezeplay and Horri-bull wastes?
>>
>>5620725
Because it's just the head, they should have bodies. What I find funny is the fact that voyagers are now triple changers, but the only two original headmaster triplechangers most likely won't get proper updates.
>>
>>5620728
But we don't know if bodies will or will not be released later. Too soon to think the way you are.

>damn these toys, taking away slots from characters I like!

I bet you're the same type of autismo who complains about non-G1 cartoon MPs "stealing release slots" from the '84-'85 cast.
>>
>>5620749
They already planned to use Chromedone for Gateway, so they'll probably use a new mold for Siren and Nightbeat.
>>
>>5620814
Nightbeat/Shooter/Siren can easily share molds.
>>
>>5620814
Or they could use Chromedome anyway, just look at the Deadend mold squad.
>>
>>5620834
I wonder if they'd then go the extra bit to curve the thighs and arms to get a Minerva like Tomy did with MP Tracks to Roadrage.
>>
>>5620719
It looks pretty much nothing like Blurr thanks to the new parts.
>>
>>5620841
Possibly, but I'm expecting that from Takara, not Hasbro
Not only because Takara has been doing more extensive remolds, but also because Minerva is a jap character
>>
>>5620841
>Implying they would make a Japan-only character with a difficult to secure name and doesn't fit in the naming system.
Making a new character that is a rapid response vehicle or just a Ratchet would be more likely.

>>
>>5620885
No, just a toy that uses similar engineering.

I'm looking to spend some of my tax refund on something nicer than what I can find at my local walmart, and I know Shockwave came out recently. Then again, for what he would cost me, I could get Exhaust and Road Rage. Or, I could not get any of them, and get that third party Sixshot.

Wat do?
>>
>>5620728
To be fair there colors complement the bigger bots. If it works out Im looking forward to buying Takara Scourge but the Hasbro one and Horri-bull to make a neat looking sweep.
My bigger beef is the fact that this Titan Master size is going to lead to a lot of heads with no bodies and I don't think their vehicle things make up for it.

>>5620966
Tracks mold isn't that great and Road Rage fixes none of the issues
Wheeljack mold is solid with good amount of engineering
I found the Shockwave mold the most fun because it actually seem playable, no parts come undone, he's a solid mass and as a gun he's just fun to fiddle with, the extra hands are a nice touch and help if you like displaying them, the light up features are fun as well but like his G1 toy you need 2 sets of batteries to use all the functions(costing around $14 total depending on how you buy.) .
I didn't expect to like Shockwave as much as I did, before I'd say my favorite MP was Grimlock but Shockwave easily took that spot.
>>
>>5620983
You know, I had completely forgotten about Hot Rod. How's he stack up in-hand compared to the previous version?
>>
>>5620995

I don't own the previous, but this one is amazing. Good articulation, though he has SUPER low clearance in vehicle mode so you need to ensure everything is tabbed in perfect or he won't roll.

Also a lot of peoples have sprue marks on the tops/bottoms of his chrome pipes, which seems to be a widespread thing. Mine does. Also mine had a bit of a "blip" of paint on his chest, which unfortunately scratched off. You can barely see it since it was so tiny, but I notice it because I'm an OCD autistic fuck.
>>
>>5620995
on par. everything fix new issues came up.
That said I can't support it because chrome never ages good.
>>
>>5620986
Wait. This high end collector's item doesn't come with batteries?
>>
>>5621005

At least he doesn't have rubber tires. Rubber tires AND chrome is like a double whammy of fuck you to any collector.
>>
>>5621011
nope. Some stores give them to you with purchase.
Japan Grimlock was the same way
>>
>>5621017
oh lord yes
It kills me when things like that happen more so when the asking price is in the upwards of 40+ because it could end up being a true waste of money in a short amount of years.
>>
>>5621021

Yeah. At the very least chrome can be repainted with silver paint-Not the same as actual chrome of course, but better than looking like a flakey mess, and lets face it, I'm the sort who plays with his toys-if it starts to go over time. Rubber tires though, you're fucked. Unless someone starts shitting out replacements at some point.
>>
>>5620976
Honestly would have preferred if they didn't release any vehicles at all, and just sold heads in packs. 5 dollars for 3 heads would have been fine.
>>
>>5621024
I'd preferred if every head bot had a body to go with it
or maybe but the insanity into the idea of a triple changing bot/alt/head theme however I'm aware it be even harder to sell just the head at $5 a pop even with it was a triple changer.
>>
>>5621018
That's bullshit. Even cheap dollar tree toys come with good batteries.
>>
>>5621024
That's fine and all, but then you have heads with pretty much nothing to do since the ratio of heads to bodies would be ridiculous.
>>
>>5621066
that issue is already there
we are getting as many heads as well are deluxe in a wave. we are looking at best at 1/3rd won't have bodies.
>>
>>5621064
makes sense though. dollar store toys are made to be played with, and are cheaply replaced. Now, say you dont like the idea of freeing your 200 dollar collectible from its plastic prison, thats fine, the battery in it? That will most likely explode, or even just leak, damaging that sweet, sweet figure making it worthless.

Shitty half-assed cashgrab. I'd wager anyone who actually owns Scattershot either got swindled by Hasbro expecting a Technobot wave or had to get him because he came lumped with Onsalught. I'm in the latter category.
>>
New guy who just started here
Which should I get between CW Onslaught, Battle core OP and Hot Spot?
>>
>>5621321
Of those three, Hot Spot. Onslaught is a retool, but the vehicle mode is just Hot Spot backwards, and the Protectobots are a better set of toys overall. That said, the Combaticons will probably be easier to find now, so it really depends on how much you're prepared to pay for a full gestalt. Battle Core Optimus is a retool of Motormaster, which is the weakest torso mold of the lot.

Onslaught has a great robot mode, Hot Spot has a great robot mode and vehicle mode. I still say Hot Spot is the superior of the two, but Onslaught is not far behind him.

No Springload, you won't shoot yourself because you can't shoot yourself.
>>
>>5621384
It's not an inherently bad set. It's more that Scattershot won't be getting dedicated limbs (they just threw Prime's on him because he needed some) outside of the boxed-set, which comes with another Scattershot, still leaving this one with no Technobots.

It's more that Hasbro is shit rather than the toy being shit, though they could have put a lot more effort into the torso mode. Scattershot and four Fireflights is pretty much Hate Plague Superion.

Well, let's say my expectations weren't super-high. The robot modes aren't bad. I'm hoping as Bruticus they look suitably...brutal.

>>5621431
Which do you associate with better, armada or g1?

Reg megs looks great in robot mode and a perfect fit for a "generations" style interpretation, though the vehicle mode better suits armada megatron which has a far more varied paint scheme going on compared to g1 megatron, though if you can take a redeco with a different head then do as you please.
