Random question, but has anyone ever experienced or reported GPS with Transmetals Sonar?

I bought one a few days ago in a fit of nostalgia, but I worry about her plastic. She was always a favorite as a kid, but I long ago lost several of her pieces and then the entire toy. Having her in had again and I still like it just as much. Maybe I'll do a repaint of TR Mindwipe as Sonar.

>Sonar's toy bio, lacking pronouns, is effectively "genderless". The 3H comics seized on this opportunity to add another female Transformer to the ranks. All subsequent fiction followed suit. Sonar is the first instance of this phenomenon occurring.

That's a different bat character.

Nightscream? http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nightscream_(BM)

Sonar wasn't in the show.

I was just going off the TFwiki. She/He was just a cool figure to me as a kid.
>>
>>5645564
Sonar wasn't in the BW cartoon. The bio for Sonar didn't imply a gender, but 3H set Sonar as a fembot for their convention comics.

GPS has a few telltale signs - the plastic itself has visible lines and swirls to it, and it breaks very easily and without any real stress or bending. If there are visible stress marks, it's not GPS. Low-quality plastic bends and snaps, but GPS stuff just crumbles like it's made out of crackers.

Barring actual thigh swivels, articulation is spot on.

Though i'm just being picky. The thighs do swivel, there just isn't a cut. Seeing how this thing pretty much splits in half and turns inside out, I could see why there was no room for one. Not to mention the size. But again, picky. Most modern transformers can't even move half as well as Stationary Commander.

Vicky looks like she came out better than what she initially looked like. The headsculpts for her individual modes do a decent enough job of making them look like fembots.

Just some notes on hasbro groove.

He looks like takara's, but can any takara owners tell me...what is he like?

His right arm has a ratchet, but he's just like skylynx, the teeth aren't doing shit so its sorta looser than the other arm, his feet don't lock together well in bike mode, and his right arm loves to come off that ball joint at any given moment.

My UW superion figures hold better but hasbro groove save the arm ratchet is just like the other hasbro cw figures, so-so quality, happy to have but he ain't worth more than any other CW figure.

i guess it acts as another vehicle for the headmaster?

they're gonna run into problems with this though. takara doesnt release the small vehicles with the headmasters hasbro releases them with. (I believe Takara Hardhead has Horribulls vehicle)

but later on, hasbro is gonna make apeface, who's vehicle is based on his original toy. so how is takara gonna deal with that?

I sense that if they tried to make a modern Thunderwing it would end up being pretty much a Powermaster anyway.

Since TR are robots with smaller robots, do we expect 2017/18 to have another Mini-con/Masters gimmick? What gimmicks are there that don't involve combining, or smaller robots?

Transformers that can actually fly/glide
That toys talk to each other gimmick Hasbro and Playmates has been using a lot in other

But really I wouldn't be shock if all of those have happen already
again, it's a 30 year old toy series that has been collectively inactive maybe 5 years of it's life at most

What about like...

Transformers that come apart and become limbs for a bigger one? Like, Optimus becomes a torso with upper arms and upper legs. And any deluxe figure, say, Sideswipe for the sake of color matching, separates into forearms/hands and lower legs/feet.

Sort of like RiD Optimus and Magnus, but more expansive and scramble city.
>>
>>5646247
What about that but with freedom of form.

Sorta like foc bruticus, anyone can be any limb (would be nice if the torso was interchangable).

May be best saved for a new show so g1 cannon doesn't cock block anything innovative, like megatron combining with optimus to take on surpericus, or something

Seems harder, but it could work. Since I was thinking just lower legs/arms the parts would only need an elbow/knee joint and it wouldn't be much of a stretch to have hand modes that can simplify into feet.

Maybe there is a reason why its not coming back, if it did maybe one of 3 gimmicks to trigger with each mini con with 3 ports to activate at once, but you won't know what mini con does what until its tried.

And as an added safety for kids, it requires a specialized key to unlock its hidden pleasure mode.

Why has no one thought of this discretion?

>Blind bag mini cons anyone?
Only if you can turn them into accessories for the larger figures, and they'd definitely have to be compatible with 5mm pegs and ports. Maybe turn one line of them into a miniature Combiner Wars set with a Scout Class torso in a blister pack. That and/or the mini-cons could go the way of Mugenbine, so you wouldn't feel too bad about grabbing the same figure more than once.

What about a dragon triple changer beastformer?
Especially with water-squirting gimmick.

>>5646312
Senran Kagura IIRC
>>
>>5646312
Senran kagura, game first, statues from lewd to THEY'RE HOW OLD!? second with anime last.

No articulated figures as of yet sadly.

...as for the games 3ds ones are side scrolling to third person beat em up, psvita and ps4 games switch up to dynasty warriors rip off, heavy on fan service.

There's your research, last step is to find the general on /vg/ or google, trust me you won't look back

>water squirting gimmick

You reminded me of the color changer I have, loved those things, sadly best a modern one can be is a boat-former with faction change
>>
>>5646319
>>5646321
thanks
time for research
>>
>>5646319
doable, just do the same thing where the dildo is inside, and the squirting thing goes through the dildo to the dragons mouth, for robot mode the tip of the dildo becomes the robots head and retains the squirting gimmick.

and in dragon mode the thing is on 4 legs, for robot mode you stand it up and flip some things to make it more roboty, and for dick mode, you open the dragons chest and flip the dildo down to give the dragon a huge cock.
>>
>>5646228
So no one then?
>>
>>5646333
Now the biggest concern is:
Leader size or Titan size? Or Voyager perhaps?
>>
>>5646340
knowing the current fantasy dildo trend, its titan class all the way.
maybe a new class above that.

thats interesting cause
not a single person liked those when they came out, people wanted normal weapons back

on that note, not a single person liked Powercore Combiners, people didnt like the drones

Well I was gonna say target masters but I have less love for those, least the mechtech weapons had an interesting gimmick.

Just a shame they were strapped onto movie toys that weren't even featured, maybe a new toy line with some show use would be more encouraging rather than giving starscream a chainsaw

honestly i agree, original Tankor is one of my favorite transformers.

but i stand by that they should have just made Beast Wars 2 (not the anime, a sequel to the cg series)

Beast Wars was very successful, it makes no sense why they'd shoot themselves in the foot like that with Beast Machines
>>
Unpopular opinion: Beast Machines is one of the best Transformers cartoons
>>
>>5646450
that's what i've heard anon, and i'm glad that it's good! (havent seen it much though)

what im saying though, is from a financial and marketing perspective, none of the decisions made in Beast Machines. most importantly the ugly characters who act and look nothing like they did in the original cartoon.
i loved beast wars as a kid, but when i saw beast machines up for sale on DVD, i had no idea it was even remotely related
>>

Imo it's not one of my favorites but it took major risks so I do applaud it for that.

>>5646447
I'd prefer it if BM was its own thing.
At least both BW anime were mostly stand alone from CG series, and Big Convoy was great both character-wise and toy-wise.
Watching the old cast being brooding sour anals to each other most of the episodes were fucking frustrating, but the Vehicons were great (except Strika and Obsidian) and the oppressive nature of the empty Cybertron was neat.

The only things that bothered me about it were how Megatron and Rhinox got into the God complex club out of nowhere.
Primal was always willing to accept new things and take stupid risks, that was his thing, so his transition to magical hippie felt natural.
Sure, Megatron changed since getting the golden disc but his old personality was almost entirely lost in BM; it was too sudden and too extreme. Rhinox was just bullshit but at least not kill-yourself-tier like Silverbolt.
>>
>>5646486
Apparently Silverbolt's change was meant to parallel the shift from goofy adam west batman to the more current interpretation.

Still bullshit but I can at least see what they were trying to do.
