what a shitty galvatron
it looks like colored diarrhea lumped together by an employee on a wednesday
talk about aiming low
>>5649951
Okay. Sorry you won't buy a toy.
Wheelie's kind of charming.
Man, I'm actually pretty hyped about TR. Lots and lots of new molds and it looks /fun/. Although I've also enjoyed CW, so I'm happy with this coming year toy-wise.
>>5649954
Forgot the pic.
But yeah, this is a nice little Scout.
>>5649955
Me too. Overall I thought CW was okay, I didn't mind the repaints though I was disappointed at the sheer number of more bots than cons, TR is looking to be a lot better in many areas.
>>5649962
Yeah. I've got the MP Line and third party for collector quality stuff. I don't mind the stuff on shelves having fun gimmicks.
>>5649955
For me it's a lot of guys who never really got good toys referencing their original gimmick.
Guys like Hardhead has what, 1 repaint of Onslaught, 1 planed Warpath redeco.
Highbrow hasn't had a new toy in what? 30 years almost?
That and the tail end of G1 in the US had some interesting designs and not the 20th version of Prime in 4 years.
Daiatlas Digibash
>>5649955
CW was amazing, TR looks good so far from all the new stuff/leaks.
>>5649987
Not bad.
>>5649987
Some of the digibashes people have come up with are great.
>>5650006
I want that Hotshot and maybe a Wheeljack from Rodimus or Demolisher from Hardhead.
Any figures found in the wild?
My local target was refreshing their toy section, so this gives me false hope...
>>5650053
Not yet. Hopefully by the 21st we'll start seeing things trickling in.
All I see though in regards to TR on shelves is a single Buzzsaw that refuses to sell.
>>5649945
that looks terrible
>>5649957
Can wait to add him to my Legends legion
>>5650080

>>5649987

>>5650094
Wut
Got my legends wreck gar yesterday and holy shit I've never had to shave so much plastic that wasn't gunpla.
All pegs used for bike mode were mishapen and had to be shaved a bit.
Anyone else have this issue with him?
>>5650094
Could you repeat that in a coherent sentence?
>>5650149
I don't have Wreck-Gar, but I had to shave the shin tabs on my CW First Aid when I first got it. The mold flash meant I couldn't tab the whole back half of the vehicle mode in until I brought out my exacto.
>>5649945
>>Waiting for TR to get ahead in life
Anyone else think this guy was just boring? He hits all the right design buttons for me (-master gimmick, human like g1 face, blocky, construction vehicle), but he's so dull. A little annoying to get everything transformed right, too.
>>5650168
Wreck gar guy here.
I also got quillfire in the same package, but he had too much plastic in his shoulder ball and socket. I shaved just a tiny bit to prevent more stress marks and of course that tiny bit was too much. Oh well.
>>5650178
To me his main draw is you can put his minicons inside his scoop bucket.
Otherwise I do feel like too much of the budgeted plastic went into the minicons, leaving the main figure kinda small.

Sure, if you prefer that used toilet paper known as the Marvel Comics canon. Blue guy is Rumble, toon said so. Deal with it, faggots.
>>5650178

the fact HTS is still trying their hardest to get people to buy it says you're not alone.

Oh, you're one of those people.
>>5650215
>Walky prefers comics over cartoons, that alone should tell you the comics appeal to the inferior side of the argument.
And besides a select few whiny internet geeks reminiscing over their childhoods, who the fuck remembers the comics? Everyone knew about the cartoon! Cry moar, FIRRIB!
>>5650210
Rumble is the guy with low-pitch powers and red is lower pitch color than blue.
>>5650218
>Oh, you're one of those people.
Oh, you're a whiny bitch who can't accept facts.
>>5650222
>thinks you have to go by what a company tells you
>>5650224
Rumble is the often-seen blue one from the cartoon. Frenzy was the rarely seen red one.
Frenzy is the grey one with blue highlights
>>5650178
I like his double hinge knees
>>5650226
Facts like Frenzy appearing as blue in the comics six months prior to the first episode of the cartoon airing? Facts like his G1 toy being blue and not red?
There's no "supposed to be" for Rumble and Frenzy. That's how it's always been and that's how it's always going to be. You can see Frenzy as being red and that's fine. But there's nothing concrete on what his "official" color is going to be because they were fucking toy commercials from the 80s and no-one producing them gave that much of a shit.
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Splatoon
>>5650247
>six months
Four months. The first episode of the cartoon aired in September but Frenzy didn't even show up until 14, which was in December.
>>5650178
Love his hidden altmode.
>>5650268
Ah yes. The "this is literally nothing and pointless" alt mode.
>>5650239
Who's that grey guy between Scoop and Kup?
Also nice fembot shelf, I feel it.
>>5650268
If only his minicons had the articulation to sit in the "jeep"
>>5650203
i dunno man, takara's grax face is so fucking weird... the nose is tiny as shit
>>5650210
>Blue guy is Rumble, toon said so. Deal with it, faggots.
This. RIBFIR.
>>5650269
You would have to have absolutely no imagination to not realize that looks like a Jeep.
>>5650286
It favors a jeep like vehicle, but it's hardly an alt mode. Its useless and looks bad.
>>5650270
>Who's that grey guy between Scoop and Kup?
Mech Ideas Gauntlet aka Not Iron Fist
>Also nice fembot shelf, I feel it.
Thx
>>5650273
You can use other minifigs, like the pcc minicons.
>>5650269
I'm sorry you can't have fun anymore, have a hug.
>>5650273
I honestly thought it was a tractor.
>>5650210
Who gives a fuck what you call him? Call him Fart Gobbler for all anyone cares.
>>5650298
>fun
I can. I'm just not desperate to think something is something else.
>>5650203
What's the difference between this and Hasbro's
>>5650309
the face doesn't look like shit
>>5650309
Headmasters are different and takara includes the extra minicon.
>>5650325
TR skullcruncher's eyes looks like that of a greyman, they're too wide apart...
>>5650309
Paint aps are almost the same, just more pink on the takara beastmode back.
>>5650324
The takara face looks too soft, don't know if its just the paint coat.
>>5650330
I dig them. They remind me of sunglasses.
>>5650332
unless hasbro's grax is molded in gold, i think it'll be the same too
>>5650332
Marvel colors a best
>>5650332
I'm still shocked we're getting a Skullcruncher.
>>5650371
im still shocked we actually got a lot animal transformers this year
>>5650371
I hope we get decent repaints out of these beasts.
Would they be called retools considering the heads wouldn't be a part of the bodies?
>>5650387
I know right? Its refreshing.
>>5650387
That head still weirds me out. The new animal heads for the others look fine, but the realistic look just doesn't work for mindwipe.
>>5649953
isn't discussing this sorta the purpose for this board?
and DESU it does look extremely shitty. valid complaint.
>>5650387
i know you guys gonna throw shits at me but
too many greebles
>>5650404
>discussing
He wasn't discussing.
>>5650187
You mean Quillfire's shoulders? I'm a bit concerned too. The ball joint feels too tight for the tiny piece of plastic it's on.
Never actually broken a toy before since I started collecting a year ago, but they make me nervous as hell.
>>5650416
Mine had some flash on the ball part. Even after removing that though it was still right.
>>5650387
Probably because the animals are robots. They only seem to dislike actual animals (ie: Beastwars style).
>>5650396
His head/neck look a bit weird to me. Like he's a fat bat or something. Been wiping out too many donuts, not enough minds.
>>5649951
Id say people like you are the cancer that's killing Transformers collecting.
But that would be mistakenly implying you're a person, rather than a maggot that should be crushed mercilessly under my iron heel.
>>5650371
i'm loving how articulated the TR deluxes are.
this is probably the most consistently articulated transformers line so far
>>5650203
There's nothing wrong with that.
>>5650210
Why is this even remotely an issue?
If you want Rumble to be red, that's fine. Plenty of instances where he was
If you want Rumble to be blue, that's perfectly okay too. Plenty of instances to base that on too.
It's really a non-issue. Call the red one whatever you want. No need to deride someone for what is purely a subjective issue
>>5650202
He's still pretty faithful to the original design
>>5650434
I wonder if it looked better to drop the eyes and have bigger ears
>>5650006
those are pretty neat
>>5650006
Fuck my tender virgin boypussy. I'll suck 10 cocks for those to happen.
>>5650226
The facts are that Rumble and Frenzy's colors have been inconsistent in toys and media throughout the characters existence
In the end, just pick the combination you personally prefer. You won't be wrong because something supports your choice. And as such, the other person who likes the opposite arrangement isn't technically wrong either. Their personal choice is not going to hurt you
It's not worth fighting over.
>>5650511
Has there ever been a US toy of rumble who was blue, or frenzy who was red?
90% of the media matches the toy
hell even some of the G1 cartoon (like the secret files of teletran 1) matches it.
The problem was more that Rumble got all the screen time in the G1 cartoon, and for some reason Frenzy also had the piston drivers.
But Frenzy is the sound bot in blue. Rumble is the rockin one in red
>>5650526
That's still missing the point of what he was getting at. In 2016 there's no point of fighting over it and claiming that one single source is correct is stupid when it's been flipped back and forth so many times over the years, unless you're one of those people that for some reason sees the G1 cartoon as the be-all end-all of Transformers fiction.
>>5650542
>In 2016
That's NEVER a legitimate argument.
>there's no point of fighting over it and claiming that one single source is correct is stupid when it's been flipped back and forth so many times over the years
Except it hasn't.
Toys are toys. They follow the toy naming pattern.
The Japanese cartoon also followed the toy naming pattern.
The American comics also followed the naming pattern (with a few mistakes in IDW)
It's pretty much just G1, and the Aligned SHOW continuity.
So it's pointless when discussing toys to object to Rumble being Red.
>>5650526
>Has there ever been a US toy of rumble who was blue
Yes. RTS Rumble.
>b-but it didn't get released!
doesn't matter. The point is they intended to release a blue Rumble.
Rumble is blue/Frenzy is red is just as valid as the other way around. Deal with it faggot.
>>5650554
They didn't release it, so the argument is invalid because we're talking about confusion over TOY names.
You can make Rumble Blue in the show all you want.
His toy will still be Red.
>>5650557
There is no confusion. It's just faggots like you who feel the need to push one over the other when both are valid. Doesn't matter if it wasn't released. Fact of the matter is Hasbro considers Rumble can be blue.
>>5650565
my fucking god man, why does it bother you so much that Hasbro an Takara won't release a Blue Rumble?
Toy Rumble is Red. Always has been, and for the forseeable future, will be.
So let it go already. Buy Frenzy and name him Rumble. Who cares, it's your toy. But no one should complain that Hasbro and takara name Rumble as Rumble.
These threads are going to have a fucking meltdown if Takara's Rumble gets a blue paintjob.
>>5648763
Which minicon is this?
>>5650595
Lord doomitron.
>>5650571
Thing is who gives a rat's ass? Why do all these autismo's give a shit? If you don't like Rumble being one color buy the other color guy and call it Rumble.
>>5650602
>Thing is who gives a rat's ass? Why do all these autismo's give a shit?
The worst thing you can do to a man is insinuate he's wrong, apparently.
>>5650006
I want all of these. And Demolishor Onslaught.
>>5650602
I bet they complained when Weirdwolf, and Squeezeplay got renamed. I'm glad I don't give a shit, I just call the figures whatever the hell I want.
>>5650415
you know what I meant you fuckwit. we talk about toys here. if someone doesn't want to buy a toy they have the right to say it.
>>5650457
why is the transformers fandom is filled with shills? this piece of crap galv would not be acceptable several years ago. paint is shit.
granted, universe galv was bad too, but that was because of the mold, not the paint apps. the paint apps on that galv were fine. hasbro has seem to have just given up. like they're not even trying with some of these. the last great figure hasbro came out with was probably leader magnus
>>5650635
Oh so you're saying that them not doing something that they weren't told to do is a discussion?
>>5650637
>defends universe galvatron at all
>thinks his opinions mean anything
>>5650637
actually now that I look at him again, the mold is shit, too. cannon is oversized, knees are overly bulky, head crown doesn't look accurate whatsoever. also whats with the weird spikey things on the sides of his head?
also, I fucking despise that dull plastic gray on his legs. it honestly looks unpainted, and a lot of other figures have that same dull unpainted look. whether its because of the poor economy and hasbro is losing money or what, you have to admit the quality has declined. if you can't see that you're either blind or a shill.
having said all that, the Astrotain in the background doesn't look half bad. but once again, that doesn't excuse galvatron looking like shit.
>>5650641
Man you're either really shitty or just bad at shitposting.
>>5650639
all I did was complement the paint job, anon. you must've missed the part where I admit the mold is where it failed. paint job was fine and didn't have any of that dull gray this galv has all over him practically.
>>5650643
>Man you're either really shitty
what does that even mean? I'm shitty cuz I disagree with you about toy robots? you can't call someone a shitposter while in the same breath shitpost, buddy.
>>5650646
The majority of the universe galvatron is an ugly gray. Go on though.
>>5650649
its a dark gray, though. the gray on the new one looks unpainted and unfinished... and now I'm repeating myself, and yet I'm called shitty despite you guys proving you're not even reading my posts without getting triggered and responding immediately because transformers are serious business apparently
>>5650648
You're shitty as in you are just warped out of your mind about toys. So yes. You're either a really shitty person or just bad at shitposting.
>>5650653
We are. You're making complaints about galvatron looking like galvatron while complimenting universe galvatron that hardly looks like galvatron.
>>5650618
Except nobody's wrong in this case, you know? Frenzy is both colors and Rumble is both colors, I don't get the fucking loyalists who say it's one color and not the other. And there they are, fucking autismo as shit about which is which and they always fucking argue, at this point I think it's like a joke meme that nobody told these guys isn't something we're supposed to seriously argue over.
>>5650630
I just assume renames like Slingshot to Quickslinger or the Weirdwolf stuff to just be Hasbro having lost the rights to the original name, ala Hotrod.
>>5650210
You are not wrong
>>5650411
>i know you guys gonna throw shits
Ain't gonna throw a goddamn thing because I can see where you're coming from on this one. Though I think the fact that it's a computer render may be exaggerating all the greebles somewhat.
>>5650006
>>5650006
None of super optimus colors and head on TR prime?
>>5650396
>>5650441
Yeah, the bat mode feels a bit weird.
Maybe it was made with a Fangry retool in mind?
>>5650526
>Has there ever been a US toy of rumble who was blue, or frenzy who was red?
Doesn't matter. If you want the red one to be Rumble, then let the red one be Rumble. It shouldnt matter to you what anyone else thinks.
But by your continued insistence on something that shouldn't be an issue to any rational person, Im getting the impression this really isn't an issue for you either, and that youre just using this as an excuse to shitpost. That's the only logical reason you're so insistent.
>>5650546
Everybody, let's just stop. He's either a faggot who won't see reason or a faggot who's just stirring shit up. Further attempts to reason with him will lead nowhere.
>>5650637
I wish I could stab you in the face
>>5650670
I'm not fence sitting I'm living in reality where I know that it depends on the continuity or the toy release.
>>5650668
You have no idea how fortunate you are that you cannot say that to my face.
Extremely fortunate indeed.
Huh. Now that I think about it, most of the insectiod Transformers tend to be bad guys. What gives?
Takara, where's my TR Snapdragon?
Been a while since I used this.
>>5650702
It's the same faggot from the neca thread who I think is subject anon back at it. It's pathetic.
>>5650713
Insects are generally considered ugly and annoying, so being bad guys fit them.
Though one of the most famous Autobots happen to be named after an insect.
>>5650720
But he isn't an insect and looks nothing like one. He's as different from the insecticons as wheeljack is.
>>5650720
Bumblebee that has cute little mandibles, a long tongue, and compound eyes never...
Finally got Thunderhoof and Quillfire in hand. And... talk about mixed feelings.
On the plus side, both are super poseable and expressive. Great paint job too.
But neither feel like they're built to last. Both of them have super tight shoulder joints, which means they can support the weight of those minicons like that one wrecking ball. But both shoulder joints are attached to small pieces of plastic hanging off of the main torso, and I'm just nervous as fuck that they'll break if I move the arm wrong even during transformation. Probably not a problem for careful adults but I can't see these guys last long in a kids' hands, who are obviously the target audience for this line.
Can't complain much since the May Mayhem deal is so good, Megatronus and Fracture are better toys overall though.
>>5650691
Okay, I get the monster wolf part but the wings just look wonky to me.
>>5650731
They looked better in the comics.
>>5650668

Foolish Octopunch, Fangry don't play well with others.
I am seriously excited for all headmasters, even ones that AREN'T headmasters

>>5650767

>>5650330
That's easy to fix, just paint the whole glasses part red including the nose.
Is there a starter guide/recommendation page on buying Transformers?
I've been a fan of them for quite a while, but I've never bought any toys.
>>5650843
Any type of Transformers you're into in particular?
Pricey collector pieces?
Combining robots?
Robots that turn into dragons?
Girl robots?
Just good old robots that turn into cars and planes? If so, any vehicle in particular you're interested in?
>>5650858
>Just good old robots that turn into cars and planes? If so, any vehicle in particular you're interested in?
Pretty much this. Nothing in particular. Just want to check stuff out and buy something that looks cool.
>Girl robots?
I-I mean why not.
To be honest I lied about being a big fan of them so I could get more replies. I've only barely started reading the IDW comic. I'm really sorry.
>>5650203
>>and then he said, "I'm going to buy the Hasbro version"!
>>5649945
The head, specifically is the ONE reason I'm going for the takara version.
If at least the face had more paint than the eyes, or just the back of the head to match the purple like on the convention displays, but nooooooo, hasbro dun gouf'd
>>5650865
Well... Generations Arcee is a girl robot that turns into a (pink) car. Not sure if she's the best representation of a typical transformer though. You should be able to find her for around $25, which is a bit pricey for a toy of her size.
It's probably for the best that you're not a big fan of the media. God knows how many arguments this thread has had over show accurate paint jobs.
>>5650878
why even an argument when takara gets them close, if not spot on.
While exceptions exist (legends ultra magnus and UW grand galvatron) they usually scratch the itch
>>5650878
If this is how girl robots look like, I think I'll pass.
So, any essential "typical" transformers you can recommend?
Sorry for having you spoonfeed me so much.
>>5650890
We have a list that someone else here might have, but Generations Springer is pretty solid. Turns into a car AND a helicopter, and not hard to find for a good price.
>>5650882
I have literally no problem with the colors on Grand Galvatron. And the Starscream he comes with is magnificent.
>>5650898
How's that Starscream holding up? I feel like it's gonna crumble to dust in like a year.
>>5650890
Not all fembots are bad, but for show accuracy arcee looks great.
And if you're fine with retoolings nightbird here can do you well, same base body but with lavish paint and retooled sections.
Now the BEST way to enjoy good transformers isn't so much on what a "good" toy is, that's subjective.
Which series/comics of the fandom are you enjoying, we can better narrow it down so you can least know who you're playing with rather than give you a masterpiece transformer that you don't know other than being a red lambo
>>5650898
Me either, that's why I got him and the hasbro one
All ghost starscreams are awesome, its being tolerant of the clear plastic that's the hard part
More from Yuki.
>>5650902
How come none of the Hasbro designers have a Twitter like this?
>>5650905
Because they're corporate cucks that don't really like transformers.
>>5650899
See that's what I thought too... until I got him in hand. He feels like a slightly softer clear plastic. It's not squishy like the tip of his nosecone or his uppermost tailfins, but softer. Like slightly softer than that of the rest of the UW releases. He doesn't feel brittle in the slightest and I don't feel like he's gonna dissolve anytime soon.
>>5650902
>silver painted face
YAY
>still not showing the headmaster or the back of the head mode
Nay
>>5650911
Any stress marks?
>>5650914
Nope! From what I can tell, there isn't a single one.
Robot Kingdom has Wave 1 of the TR Deluxes up for preorder. Here's a really crappy quality picture of the stock images and I'm a bit bothered by the fact that Skullcruncher's gator head is sitting there like that.
>>5650822
Smell doesn't transmit over the internet, I don't like cheetos and I do not own a katana
>>5650921
He was on display at various shows somebody should look and see if the gator is anywhere on him in those shows displays.
>>5650905
>How come none of the Hasbro designers have a Twitter like this?
they have a Snapchat . Nothing news-like, just cute shit
>>5650935

Hm. Not a fan of the final color scheme. This is the power of CGI renders, I suppose.
....And I just quoted the wrong anon. Where's that suicide MP Shockwave meme when you need it?
>>5650901
I like Nightbird I thought it was a good retool, Slipstream IMO needed new wings.
>>5650949
slipstream needed alot of things, I own it but only because I randomly needed more fembots in my life
>>5650951
They are worse fembots out there

Also, dildo
>>5650959
Show up on last thread...wait do you understand what they were saying?
If they truly were trashing hasbro for 40mins that would explain the laughing
Ya know, I just realized something. Hasbro hasn't said anything about the Deluxe TR figures coming with comics again.
I guess this means they stopped?
>>5650961
>If they truly were trashing hasbro for 40mins that would explain the laughing
doesnt explain the dildo, though
>>5650959
>Also, dildo
Is it a takara dildo or 3rd party dildo
>>5650959
Looks like my suspicions about it being shit were true, atleast you can store the head in the helmet during transformation, largely nullifying the headmaster gimmick.
>>5650961
Yes, aside from the mainland accent and slang, I know what they are saying.
Through out the whole video, the main reviewer is trashing the figure.

For comparison, he says G1 figure in term of durability still holds after 30+ years, can't say the same for the new figure. Also, he states he would like to rape whoever complained to Hasbro about how difficult it is transforming the movie 2 toys by 100 time. Last, he says he is feeling transformers as a franchise/brand is dying as it heads into G2 era (implying there is nothing else to release anymore in the classic series.)
The other guy is just saying things are not that bad.
To be fair, they got the figure loose, so we can't really judge whether most of the problems he has is because it might be a reject figure.
>>5650978
Good to know TF fans are the same all around the world.
>>5650978
Cheers, AsiaAnon.
>>5650978
shit mang, this makes me worried for the TR deluxes might explode during transformation
>>5650978
Thank for for the translaton and points, this is a big help for those watching and not knowing wtf is going on, I got points against them though.
>loose joints and holes
As others have stated, MIGHT, might be a factory reject, though with the way they handled skylynx and my deluxe groove it wouldn't surprise me
>weak/hollow/pathetic transformation etc
Its a modern age toy, I totally expect these issues though thanks to them I can look elsewhere
>comparing it to g1 blaster
shit's fucking amazing, still got mine too
>Also, he states he would like to rape whoever complained to Hasbro about how difficult it is transforming the movie 2 toys by 100 time
I don't condone rape, violence towards idiots, curse words, maybe setting their car on fire, but not rape, jesus christ that's a little too harsh, we're talking about fucking toys here
>Last, he says he is feeling transformers as a franchise/brand is dying as it heads into G2 era
They need new gimmicks and need them soon, I agree here.
>The other guy is just saying things are not that bad.
So he's the straight man of the 2, thank fuck someone had some common sense.
>>5650987
I'm sure they won't be that bad, just gotta wait and see
>>5650995
>I don't condone rape, violence towards idiots, curse words, maybe setting their car on fire, but not rape, jesus christ that's a little too harsh, we're talking about fucking toys here
He's exaggerating for emphasis, you pussy.

I-I hope so, seemed too exact
>>5650905
Hasbro says no. You can thank Aaron Archer for that. I wouldn't doubt most of them would love to interact more with fans.
>>5649945
how could they mess up galvys face so badly??.
>>5651019
What did archer do?
>>5651029
He went on TFW and pissed off some other fansites by giving them preferential treatment and supplying leaks, allegedly. Hasbro told him to stop being a retard and he threw some sites under the bus, alleging that they ratted him out.
Hasbro has tightly controlled designer fan interaction considerably ever since then. They only recently started relaxing a bit.
>>5650662
>>5651019
>>5651039
Tformers was the site that got bitchy. The traffic dived because Aaron played "favorites" with sites
This lead to a figure pointing PR nightmare
A lot of the anal like attitude Hasbro has was born from that.
Before that mess they had a lot of fun and played around the communities and a lot of there Generations focus that came in the future was born from those community talking points.
Long story short it was (as usual) the fandom that ruin everything.
>>5651039
I miss when they did monthly Q&As.
>>5651050
good, because TF fandom doesn't deserve anything
they'll bitch no matter what hasbro does
I was going to pick up the new Galvaton until I saw this picture
Fucking back kibble
WTF
>>5650959
Chinese fandom are literally G1nners with the caveat that the majority never had the opportunity of playing with the toys when they were kids and thus you get extraordinarily inflated expectations for what Transformers should be.
>>5651068
I'm hoping it can at least fold a bit, to this extent.
Don't forget the animation model also had that purple pylon going up, though its clearly the shitty third mode sticking out
>>5651069
no wonder most third party companies are fucking retarded and dont know what to make
>>5651068
I'm hoping it's removable, that you can at least pull out the peg it's on or whatever, since it only exists for that super shitty jet mode that had to be forced in. I'm still a bit annoyed by that, there could have been a better way to give him a 3rd mode aside from slapping a cockpit on his back.
>>5649945
the limitations of making a vehicle-chest transformer really suck. I would have loved it if MP sideswipe looked like this, without the broad shoulders
>>5650959
Still shorter than an Optibotimus review of a legends figure.
>>5651081

He looks fine like that, with or without the toon paint job, but vehicle chest guys have it hard

What's awful is every time I see photos like that with the swords and shit I always assume they must be like my 32 year old NEET friend that are still living with their parents and have no one to love them short of those dying parents
What do other people get mad about that amuses you, /toy/?
For me it's people insisting that putting the Head/Titan Master gimmick on characters that didn't originally have them ruins them. Sorry you can't deal with toys not being perfect replicas of 80s ones, I guess.
>>5649987
Oh baby.

When people who hate takara's products go on to call them weaboo's.
Are they that patriotic/scared ofnthe japanese to use that or do they literally have no argument against their proven track record?
It ain't every toy, but its most of them.
...I guess I'm a weaboo now too
>>5650257
>TF Splatoon toys never
>>5650325
God, I want to like that Legends Hardhead, but it's so soft and ugly.
Not saying that the Hasbro one's better, but if some 3P comes out with a decent Nick Roche Hardhead Titan Master I'll buy the Hasbro one to go with it. That caramel on Takara's is ugly as sin.
Meanwhile, Hasbro's Skullcruncher is weird as shit and I love it.
(hasbro wins)
>>5651094
considering you can retract hot rods legs you can also do this
>>5650653
>the gray on the new one looks unpainted and unfinished
Of course it's unpainted. It's grey fucking plastic, they don't need to fucking paint it grey.
If they painted all plastic over in the same colour it'd triple the price, which people already complain about.
>>5650712
I found the guy who watches wrestling.
>>5651130
So, patriotism = shit talking about Transformers on random toy forums?
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think that's how it works. Could someone else explain?
>>5651148
>>5651132
I don't care about Splatoon, but that's pretty clever. I like it.
>>5651152
>hur dur buying glorious nippon toys when we got the same shit here weaboo faggot
>i-i-its cheaper here!
>CW computron is a valid take and stands on his own to the UW
I stopped at the last one and quit forum lurking
>>5651159
Got it. Thank you.
>>5651121
The ones that cry about the ones hating what you said.
>>5651159
That first one is the only one that really stands out as being bullshit. The second one is fine as long as you're not using it against someone else to justify your own purchase and the last one is an entirely valid opinion.
>>5651165
the first one was an exaggeration of a few responses I saw when checking out the reaction towards CW computron, I did literally see a few weaboo related comments.
I do agree with the second one as I'm using that myself towards the original headmaster teams
>>5649951
Transformers are now being made by curry niggers so you're basically correct
>>5651183
I still only see made in china/taiwan on my cw/mp's, or are they not printing that on them yet?
>>5651190
>Made in china
It's made in vietnam currently.
>>5651194
>>5651197
damn i keep getting taiwan and vietnam mixed up, been awhile since I've seen a china one I admit but that was the only other I've seen printed
>>5650890
Generations Springer/Sandstorm
Any of the G1 combiners from Combiner Wars/UW if you really want to go all-in
Legends Powerglide, Cosmos, Shockwave
>>5651132
I'd buy the shit out of that
>>5650944
>>5650978
>White stress mark everywhere including the pegs for the headmaster
They'll fix that before release r-right?
>>5651198
A good rule of thumb for the East and South East Asian countries are:
Mongolia-Ambigiously white hut people
China-Mass production commies
Taiwan-Mass production freedom
Vietnam-Cony hat rice farmers
North Korea-Poor commies
South Korea-Starcraft
Japan-Depressed Salarymen and anime
Thailand- brown kickboxers and transexuals
Republic of Singapore- A fine city
Anywhere else-Irelevant

>he states he would like to rape whoever complained to Hasbro about how difficult it is transforming the movie 2 toys by 100 time.
I'd like someone to rape HIM. Not because I took offense. Far from it. I'm simply a sucker for good irony.
>>5651068
Holy shit, no wonder they didn't show the backside of robot mode in the promo shots.
Cancelling my pre-order
They always have to fuck something up on that character
>>5651076
It's on a hinge, it won't be removable
>>5651230
Wait for a review, that's too far an extension, I'm hoping it folds up to least be slimmer or stimulate the back pylon galvatron has.
It HAS to fold, the box for the TR version would be too big otherwise
>>5651230
The back kibble is what you consider the fuck up on this figure? I'd say having to take the damn head off to transform it is the fuck up.
