Right? I don't even need them to turn into guns or anything. Basically all I want are what we're getting with Vicky or Hasbro Computron. Here's hoping those get ko'd down the line. I finally had to cancel and get a refund for my ko PE sets from Uncle Billy since they're apparently never coming.

Maybe I'll just say fuck it and add ankle tilts with some bonkle joints or something.

Master Made Scorponok (1 of 3 pics)

I wish I felt like I had room in my budget/display to buy all of these because their Trypticon is one of the best toys I've ever owned.

But the SD style is weird because I like it but it makes them not fit in with any other transformers and I tend to just buy stuff to display alongside other figures. Especially big base bots.

Their Trypticon goes well with legends figures and I think their Omega Supreme looks like it will go well enough with them too but Metroplex and Scorponok look too obviously SD with their super giant heads.

2 of 3

But yeah if you've never tried any of their figures I super recommend them if Trypticon is anything to go off of. Probably the highest quality feeling 3rd-party figure I have. Super high quality-feeling plastic, tons of little tampo details and stuff, really great use of diecast and clear parts, loaded with gimmicks, covered in 5mm-port guns, just like a 10/10 version of Trypticon.

3/3

I think this looks like it's a bit bigger than their Metroplex? Hard to tell though cause I don't actually have Metroplex and Trypticon can kind of stand at a lot of different heights based on what kind of dinosaur posture you pose it with.
>>
>>5652433
This looks nice as fuck, but with IF making a Scorponok I'll probably go with that one. I'm for sure getting their Omega Supreme, though.

I'm still on the fence about Trypticon. I like him, but I just can't decide.
>>
>>5652437

Yeah same here, I'll just be buying the Iron Factory Scorponok so I don't really see myself picking up the Master Made one.

I really really recommend their Trypticon, but I guess if you're definitely getting Omega Supreme you should just wait until you get that one and see if it sells you on getting Trypticon too. I'm hoping the Scorponok reveal means things are moving along with Omega Supreme and we're about to see maybe some colored samples soon.

I'm usually quick to make excuses for the shortcomings of Jizai's designs because of his god tier transformation schemes, but that is one shitty looking alt mode. At least the shoulders and hips have decent articulation this time.

I love this. It has what I admired about Jizai's SD Jazz (clever mass distribution in alt mode that takes advantage of the SD proportions, and dat head transformation) but it improves on the idea with a fully articulated and more complete looking body.

Would be blown away if they could pull off triple changers that look this good.

Jizai is a designer who was I think just making like garage kits of his old designs if they were released at all. But he got some attentions for how clever the transformations were so that eventually led to a gig working on the Fansproject Function X line

Hypothetical Situation. Let's take something like Apollyon or whatever. Something very G1 accurate and close to masterpiece quality. What if Hasbro/Takara made a high quality KO of it, possibly with some minor improvements, and resold it as an official Transformers Masterpiece under the proper Megatron name. Could the 3PT company do anything legally?
>>
>>5654805

"Could they do anything legally" is almost never a question. If you find yourself even asking that, then yeah it's almost certainly a situation that's enough to get in front of a judge.

But:

1) Who knows if they could actually win that lawsuit
2) If they sued Takara or Hasbro they'd be basically begging for a counter suit about the initial copyright infringement
3) There is not a single 3P company with enough money to even consider for a second going to court with a giant corporation
>>
>>5654805
>>5655125

Actually, there have been cases of companies stealing fan art and losing in court when the artist challenged them.

Of course, HasTak could pull their heads out of their asses and start working with these companies as licensors, which would be highly profitable for them- you know EXACTLY what Hasbro did with Shapeways regarding fan-made MLP items! Give them a few rules to follow to maintain the deal, Hasbro gets a cut of profits, in exchange for better factory and raw material access to these companies.

Never Happen. Goldner is an idiot and Takara, being Japanese, are "too proud".
>>

now that I recall, GDO Laserbeak was a case of Takara literally stealing someone's shitty custom idea, and the person couldn't do dick about it.

2a) Jerry Only uses the suit as a legal precedence to sue the shit out of Hasbro and Christy Marx, a long overdue legal action.

I'm honestly just going to stick with the regular purple set for my G2 Menesor unless they actually make the plastic color closer to what's in the official product photos. If it's more like the plastic color of the actual set, it doesn't look as nice because it's a little too close to Breakdown's colors and it throws the balance off. They could do with making a G2 torso upgrade set though.

Custom from a Japanese guy on twitter. He did a tiny preorder and run of them.

Venksta showed interest in making his own, but he drops projects and ideas like a one legged man playing hackysack, so no real hope of him actually releasing one.

Who is Cassy Sark and why does everybody seem to hate them?
>>
>>5657973
One of the head designers at MMC. He's quite prolific as he's made toys for MMC, iGear, KFC, and Mech Ideas, probably the most 3P TF work for a single person.

The problem stems from his aesthetic. Dull face sculpts, odd proportions, and most infamously, layers upon layers of uninspired detailing. He also never designs toys closely to their original appearances.

if you need to know how bad he can be, pic related is how MMC Feral Rex was going to look like, before Griffith (Main MMC designer) fixed it
>>
>>5657952
Either that or Dr. Wu will jump on that shit
>>
>>5657931
Oh. Boo.

Hopefully Venska picks it up. I've gotten renderform heads before and I dig them. Otherwise I guess I'll just buy a spare silverbolt and do some surgery with an actual magnaboss face.
>>
>>5657979

I think Sark can do good when he wants to but I think he needs a handler like Griffith to fix shit. Even in the case of things like Overlord they could have toned down a few of the lines for the sake of lines.

He's gotten worlds better since Hex but still has a long way to go.

>>5655389
>>5657572

Not sure which one I want to go for. On one hand, fucking Roadbuster close to the IDW design. On the other, fucking Strika and I like the guns, their paint, and how the third wheel becomes part of the legs even if inaccurate to the tire foot thing she had going on.

I'm actually surprised how much is remolded between the two.
>>
>>5657973
A lot of people dislike his exaggerated, highly-greebled style, but mostly, it's one few names we have for third party people, so it's one of the few names people can hate on specifically.
>>
>>5657580
It was really obvious based on the design of Strika and where it diverged from her original design. Honestly, I have no idea what other things a Strika would be a pretool for.

Doesn't seem anything like it. Is this just review using buzzwords?

He does say he's unfamiliar with the character.

It'd not really based on any specific version of Strika, it's just Roadbuster with some retooling, and Roadbuster is fairly IDW accurate.

Maybe IDW Strika will look a bit more like this now that Corin Howell isn't drawing her using her extremely simplified style.

Wonder if Maketoys will beat them to it since she is perfect for the manga mech scale.

Are you fucking dense, m8? He's the size of an MP but he's not MP scaled. He's based far more off of his IDW appearance and he was fucking massive in that. He towered over Springer and Impactor.

i find this dumb. While i realize you can just leave the tank turret on, i can't fathom why it'd be removable in the first place, it's a very important part of Blitzwing's silhouette and he's never used it as a gun before. seems like a needless increase on the partscount, and slight evidence that these designers slightly dont know what they're doing
>>
>>5658981

If this were a Hastak toy people would be rioting in their internet streets over that shit. As a 3P, that is morbidly, unacceptably shitty.
>>
>>5659496
The turret would have to be a separate part, anyway, unless it was static, which I doubt anyone wants(especially considering that one of his most iconic scenes in that mode is Kup bending the turret up and breaking it in the movie). It's odd that the gun mode uses the hinge area, too, though. It would've been simpler to use a simple clip-on joint. They would've kept the turret articulation, and be usable as a gun.

Figure Overlord will be about Hexatron price, maybe a bit more. So $150-ish.

Tarn's probably going to be $85 or so like all the other "Big Voyager" guys like Turmoil, Impactor, Kaon, etc.
>>
>>5659749
Haaaaaah. No. Last time MMC quoted an idea of price range for Overlord they said they wanted to keep it under $200, so expect him to be $199.99 and Tarn I believe was going to be around $120-$150 Look at Anarchus, their Kaon, he was right at $80 or 90 I believe and hes much smaller than Tarn so no way they'd be the same price.
>>
>>5659774

Aw fuck, really? Shit.

Tarn though, he isn't Voyager sized? I mean, Turmoil was pretty fucking beefed out and he was $85. I don't think Tarn should be more than that, he certainly isn't Sixshot sized or as intricate, or a 6 form 'bot.
>>
>>5659788
I was at the con with the Tarn and Overlord prototypes and Tarn is just slightly larger than current Hasbro voyagers, about as tall as leader Magnus not counting the arm stacks. He was much larger than I was expecting.

He's Ultra sized, I hear. think Universe Onslaught with extra bulk
