Transforming toys are the core of my collection, but at this point I really don't have an emotional attachment to the Transformers IP.
Post pics in this thread of transforming toys that aren't related to "Transformers." Bonus points for good articulation and perfect transformation.
Are these guys on Japanese sites yet?
>>5660708
Don't think so, just the usual US/UK stores that sell official and 3P Transformers
Aside from the upcoming Machine Robo line posted above, are there any other figures with a comparable balance of detail and playability? I feel like almost everything is partsforming, brick-ish, or $300+ holy grail tier.
>>5660732
I know the image isn't about the train, but I want the train. I'd totally buy a Loco
I've gone back and forth on wanting this a few times, every once in a while the SD look works for me.
>>5660749
>They turn into tiny sd lions
AMAZING
There's macross obviously
Digimon had a few good transforming toys. Some characters even looked great in both modes without worrying about kibble or dual-purpose parts. Birdramon, Kabuterimon, Gaogamon, even Greymon was okay despite being fat.
>>5660687
This guy when?
I'm really looking forward to this one, it's nice to see a carformer with a unique transformation scheme.
Classic phone braver. Although his transformation is basically just from bulky cell phone to cell phone with arms and legs.
>>5661613
Action Toys' new Machine Robo line.
>>5661613
New Machine Robo line, the first wave 1 figures are about 4.5" but >>5660732 definitely looks bigger. Blue Jet here looks like a major improvement on the Fewture version from 2012, which partsformed literally everywhere.
>>5661512
We've seen a proto for Turbo/Supercar Robo. He should be in wave 2.
>>5661705
To be fair, I assume the Fewture's goal was a dynamic robot mode. I'm kinda surprised they even threw in a "transformation" rather than just having the jet as a separate piece entirely (since it pretty much was).
I do find it funny how this manages to have a way better face sculpt though.
>>5661705
>Blue Jet
>It's red.
>I have never understood you, Nippon!
I love beastformers, and its disappointing to me how few there are overall. I try and get what few there are. The sentinel Dino Getters are odd figures, but I like them for what they are. Dino getter 2's t.rex mode is very cobbled together visually, but in hand it makes more sense. It feels really dynamic and cool.
>>5661969
I bought that at a discount on Amazon and was hugely disappointed. Aside from being incredibly finnicky by design it's fragile as all fuck, with paper-thin parts and high-friction plastic twisting pegs with the diameter of a toothpick. One of said pegs snapped immediately so I just returned it for a refund.
>>5661705
I still have the original toy of this guy.
Not THE Original, but still the original mold. A brazilian licensed version that's black/red instead of red/black, looks cooler than the original, actually.
One of my favorite toys as a kid, so I'd like to pick this guy up if possible.
Holy shit just look at this
>>5662094
Just today I realized I had the original Eagle Robo and Rod Drill. I've had them since I was a kid and I never knew what exactly they were. Just happened to look at Eagle today and saw the similarities to the new version instantly, then I found Rod Drill hanging out in the same drawer.
It was such a great "oh shit" moment. Pretty sure I have Steam Robo too, but not sure if it's the MR or Gobots release.
>>5662912
Shit dude, I can't believe that. I thought everyone my age (31) had at least a couple of Gobots or had seen the show a few times.
I used to have a ton of these. I had like six different Leader 1's/Eagle Robo, a couple of them in different colors.
>>5660944
DUDE I LOVED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE!!
I had like 80% of the line but they are all dead now, i was a really active kid and played with them till they wear off completely
Are they easy to find sealed? i would LOVE to have the entire line.
>>5662912
>never knew exactly what they were
This. And I had fucking Battle Robo so it wasn't exactly like I cold say it was a tank transformer
Anyone know when Dia Battles V2 is out this month?
>>5663177
I'm potentially interested, but for some reason I really feel like I need to see a review before I jump on it. What I'm wondering is whether it's fluidly modular or if every conversion involves swapping/removing tons of tiny connector pieces.
Supposedly the first wave of Machine Robo is on its way to retailers as of today (not sure if that means all 4 or just 2).
Someone also posted a somewhat informative interview with a distributor who's been involved in the development.

>>5663699
>license is restricted to the "Machine Robo Revenge of Chronos" anime, they can't make figures of toys/Gobot characters that didn't appear there
Well that includes Royal-T, Crasher, Tux as a hearse and pic related, so I'm pretty stoked.
>>5660732
Do we have any robot mode pics of that D51-lookalike? I wanna see that.
Korean transformers
>>5670815
It's popular enough to spawn a lookalike series, Superwings made by entirely different companies, I.e. Third-party Korean transformers
Speaking of Korean transformers, I got this guy a couple months ago, and he is one of my favorite transforming robot toys I've purchased this year.
Bumping because I just got charged for Rod Drill, Battle Robo, and Eagle Robo. Gonna wait a bit to ship my order though since I have a couple trips coming up and a few more preorders that might drop soon.
>>5675649
I only ordered Eagle because I don't really have any connection to MR, but he's one of the coolest jetformers I've ever seen. He was the only thing in my PoL, but I shipped him right away.
>>5670815
reminded me of this
used to see these guys while reading tomica catalogues as a kid
I wish they'd gotten these out early to reviewers. Got Eagle in my POL and trying to decide if I should keep'em .
>>5670819
if they only had elbows, is totally buy those. also surprised to see theyve been localized, ive been seeing these at my local korean stores for years
>>5663699
>Bike Robo has no wrist articulation AND hollow forearms
It's garbage.
>>5676166
Bike sadly looks the worst. I mean, he's pretty faithful to the original toy, but compared to the other figures...ehhh...
I was really looking forward to a deluxe size CyKill.
>>5663699
>license is restricted to the "Machine Robo Revenge of Chronos" anime, they can't make figures of toys/Gobot characters that didn't appear there
Does that mean a no on Crasher? I'm not familiar with the anime or who might be in it.
The generations one is sufficient though.
>>5676166
It's like the size of a Legends figure.
>>5676011
It'd be wrong if you WEREN'T, anon
>>5676193
they're that small? wow, what a waste.
>>5676180
the Racing Robot who was repainted into Crasher did appear in the anime for a few small scenes.
but he used his original colors, so he was mostly gray, and he had a faceplate and visor...
>>5661731
>I do find it funny how this manages to have a way better face sculpt though.
hell yeah, Fewture Blue jet had such a mangled face with like, pouty lips. Nothing like his handsome design in the MR anime
>>5663738
>Though the SoC is pretty perfect already
i dont know... its proportions are quite off. with his HUEG legs and low shoulders.
The ES Gokin Baikanfu already improves on the design a bit, so a non-SD Baikanfu could be nice
Hopefully we can get the Devil Satan 6 crew. next to SOC Baikanfu's concept art were designs for an SOC Garudi, Devil Satan 6, and Blue Jet, but they never happened
>>5677030
I kinda dig the huge legs, but I definitely get what you mean
>>5676166
there's honestly no excuse.
this designer is very infamous with not including wrist swivels, even when the hand pieces are seperate! like in pic related
>>5676193
>>5676223
they're meant to be like the old toys but better, so i guess i understand. Still 40 bucks for a Legends toy is a bit much? even third party TF Legends are only 20-30 bucks
>>5677643
>even third party TF Legends are only 20-30 bucks
Well Iron Factory's not-Windblade is $20-30 (pic related), but it's like 3.5" tall and only accessory it has is a tiny one-piece sword.
These Machine Robo figures are a full inch taller than that (according to retailers, we'll find out for sure when people get them in hand), contain diecast, and come with somewhat complex modular bases. Assuming QC is up to par I don't feel like I overpaid at all.
As far as wrist articulation, I'm not gonna be an apologist about it but it's no dealbreaker at this size given the waist swivels, ankle rockers, etc.
>>5677711
Leader/Eagle is on his way to me. Depending on how I like him I could definitely see getting the whole line. Theyd be a great way to bolster my Legends troops.
Finally a proper size comparison
>>5680041
Battle Robo and Eagle Robo are significantly bigger than Rod Drill
>>5680041
Oh wow, they're so tiny. I love it!
I guess the size discrepancy explains why Rod Drill and Bike Robo were discounted from $45 to 40.
>>5680044
>>Leader-1 will tower over Cy-Kill
>>5680179
These aren't Gobots and they aren't Leader-1 or Cy-Kill.
>>5680179
>F-15: 19 meters long
>Motorcycle: 2 meters long
>Conclusion: Yeah, the jet is bigger than the bikebot.

that's kind of an interesting concept

>The World's Leading Creative System Lacking in Individuality of Child.
How brazen. They admit right on the box that they want to turn kids into mindless robots.
>>5682280
Japanese culture has never favored individuality too strongly.
Hot. Damn. Eagle is awesome. Only two minor complaints: I'm a little iffy on the diecast, but it isn't excessive, and the transformation is a bit fiddly, but I don't think I'm gonna break anything.
Seriously though, this is like the jetformer perfected. He just folds up so tidy and concisely. And weapon storage! I love it. And given that he's a fighter jet, he's probably in scale with my Legends collection. I think Leader-1 will be the autobot's new defacto leader.
Gave him an autobot sticker. He's so sharp and fancy. I won't get everything in this line, but I dig the quality.
>>5660749
Wow that looks cool... until I saw the price
>>5684775
>>5684998
That looks great!
So do you feel the quality easily justifies the $45? I loved Go-Bots as a kid, had way more of them than Transformers, so this really hits the nostalgia buttons (still have my Cy-Kill somewhere in my garage).
Couple things I'm kind of confused on; are these actual licensed toys, or are they third-party? I seem to remember them being shown at a Japanese toy show, but then why do none of the Japanese e-tailers seem to have him in stock?
>>5685561
Licenced by Bandai but the designers are known for their work for third parties. The guy that did shit like Tailgate for Maketoys among other things definitely designed Eagle. Jezai for his garage kits and FP's Function X line is listed for Battle Robo IIRC.
No fucking clue why Asian sellers don't have them but they've just shown up in the West.
>>5685561
>So do you feel the quality easily justifies the $45?
Actually, yeah. With a lot of 3rd party stuff, a part of me is always thinking "eh, this is a bit overpriced." But these I actually think match their price pretty well. Eagle (the only one I have) has a very intricate transformation, excellent articulation, and feels high quality. They each also come with modular stand that can be rearranged and put together in several ways. I also appreciate that the smaller size of some of them are reflected in their price.
Also, I believe these are officially licensed because they can only do ones from a specific machine robo anime.
I've decided Leader-1 is the new badass leader of the autobots for now.
>>5685734
How's the jet mode?
>>5660687
For those who already have Rod Drill, does the skirt keeps the legs from moving forward or is there some kind of hinge to get it out of the way ?
>>5685773
You can kind of see that there's a hinge and it's being used in the OP
It seems to move the entire skirt as a single block though
>>5685765
Fucking nice.
None of that "robot under a jet" syndrome, it just looks like a model jet. It's awesome.
>>5685827
Forgot my pic.
>>5685827
>it just looks like a model jet.
Yeah nah.
>>5685765
It's leaps and bounds better than a transformer jet but still has the "brick with wings" thing going on and lots of mechanical junk visible.
>>5685840
Well yeah, from underneath. I admit I was being too generous. But it's got a really thin profile and actually looks like a plane, which is refeshing.
>>5685589
>>5685596
Thanks for the info guys, went ahead and added Leader-1 to my pile of loot. Thinking about it, I've paid way more for similarly sized toys that did way less than what Leader-1 can, heh.
Looking forward to Cy-kill, though I'm a little disappointed that he doesn't have clear orange plastic for the bits on his head, Still, gotta have him to face off against Leader-1. Anyone know why he wasn't released with the rest of the wave?
>>5685853
Yeah the thin-ness is great. It's still got a long way to go before anyone confuses it with a model though, from any angle it's obviously a transforming toy.
What are they charging for it?

>>5686816
i dont know, doesn't that seem shady?
i know hasbro did the same thing, but dont they own Gobots now?
not to mention, the face sculpt still wouldn't be accurate...
>>5686820
The company that licensed the Dorvack toys a while ago did both Dorvack and TF versions. There's literally nothing stopping the same thing from happening with the new Machine Robo toys besides corporate butthurt.
>>5686861
>The company that licensed the Dorvack toys a while ago did both Dorvack and TF versions
Funny you should mention them, because that's the same company making these new Machine Robo toys (Company's called Action Toys)
the thing is i feel this situation is different from the Dorvack one. With Dorvack, they got Ashi Productions permission for the design, and Hastak's permission for the Roadbuster repaints.
With Machine Robo, Bandai owns the designs and Hastak owns the Gobots characters.This is difficult as Bandai are Hastak's rivals.
I'm not saying it's impossible, just a bit improbable since its just so unprecedented
>>5686878
After doing some reading, I think Bandai owns the rights to Dorvack as well, isn't this the same scenario? I'm not quite sure.
>>5686878
except in this case, if they wanted to do cartoon faces, it's probably not Hasbro they need to go through, but Hanna-Barbera(or whoever owns them now). It's similar to that muddy situation with DiC studios owning their animation models that prevents, say, Konami from sticking Captain N Simon into one of their games.
Hasbro owns trademarks and certain other aspects but they don't own the franchise wholesale. It's not like they even aimed to get the franchise, they just got what they got when they bought Tonka.
>>5685773
Apparently the whole crotch piece just pops off with friction clip so that's one solution. I might look into trimming off the crotch where it obstructs the hips, assuming it's not diecast.
>>5687252
Here's a shitty shoop of where I'd cut it
>>5687263
not bad~
... so when do these fucks go up on hlj and amiami? not all of us live in the US you know..
>>5685875
45 Ameribucks for the figure + a configurable modular base for dynamic posing. Considering the whole package, I'd say it's a fair price.
>>5687444
So far none of the Asian retailers have put them up. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I'd love to get them, but shipping cost from the US is just too high.

>>5698145
Yep, he's shipping to me right now. Can't wait.
>>5698731
>Eagle is the nicest looking jetformer I've ever seen
You've never seen a masterpiece seeker or any of the macross toys?
>>5698893
While the masterpiece seekers are nicer over all, i still feel Eagle Robo has the cleaner jet mode.
Those high end Macross toys are just pure sex though. Kind of an unfair comparison.
>>5698893
The Macross stuff is very nice for sure, but I feel like the legs are a bit too obvious on a few of them. I suppose that's accurate to the source material, but I'm thinking in terms of a more realistic jet that they don't exactly do it.
The seekers are also great, but their undersides don't clean up quite as nicely IMO.

MP-3 was designed by Kawamori, if I'm not mistaken. Hence the super sleek jet mode.
>>5701925
Kobayashi designed MP-3, Kawamori was brought in late in development to clean up the alt mode, and did a damn fine job of it too (at the expense of bot mode)
The original MP-3 design was quite similar to what MP-11 ended up being.

Just BBTS, didn't feel great to dump $170 but it doesn't seem like import sites are stocking this since it's some sort of exclusive. Here are some in-hand photos: http://irontoyz.com/wp/2016/05/takara-diaclone-reboot-dia-battles-v2-月面基地版-玩具點評/
>>5704911
Not sure WTF is up lately with TFSource in general. I used to use them because they usually shipped out same day, and if I ordered on a Wednesday, I usually got it by Friday, Saturday at the latest using regular mail.
Now? I ordered something "expedited", took them over three days to ship, and "expedited" FedEx took a week.
Tried a new order and sure as shit, expected delivery is somehow a week from now.
Rarely same-day shipping, and FedEx no longer the fast service they built their business model on, a perfect shitstorm
>>5706324
Same here. Last year I ordered an item, mailed same day by Priority Mail. Last month placed an order, took several days to ship.
BBTS is almost as bad, depending on the shipping method. If I choose Fedex Ground, they ship within 1 day. If I choose Smartpost(a service that needs to die, BTW) they take 3-4 days to actually send, then it takes a week to travel to me. It's like they get sluggish on purpose if you go with the cheap option, bad enough the service itself is slow.
>Smartpost package passes through Grove City, OH
>will arrive, depart, arrive, depart, arrive, depart the same city over and over for several days
Heads up: Take care with the connecting tabs at the back of Battles 1 and Battles 2's cockpit section.
If anyone's looking for an excuse to irresponsibly buy both versions....
>>5706393
Ironically, Toyarena, the shittier site that's barely maintained in a cohesive fashion, still ships faster and more reliably.
>>5706324
>FedEx no longer the fast service they built their business model on
it depends on what Fedex service you are paying, using, is the expedited Fedex "standard overnight"? most likey not.
Im guessing the fastest they will use , or the one that you would paid for is fedex 2day, after that is Fedex express saver ( 3 days)
Then there's Fedex Ground and Fedex residential which will take 5-7 days since it will not be on a plane.
After that there's Fedex smartpost, which can take from 3-8 days. ( fedex will get it to your main post office sorting facility, then it'll be handle by the post office to sort , route and deliver.
I was working for FedEx Ground at one of their hubs up until a couple weeks ago.
They are pretty seriously understaffed right now and with the economy getting better, people are buying more and more shit.
On top of that training in new hires takes time and nobody quite reaches the standards set by the company.
>>5708479

Next product in the line is being revealed next weekend.
>>5708321
Well, I paid for "expedited" but what I got was 7 days by truck
is the Diabattles going to win TOY OF THE YEAR?
>>5710525
I personal got two normal version and one moon version, all at record low price. Didn't know it would be this good. Should have bought another moon version.
>>5710525
Watched the benscollectible review of it.
Those fucking colors, man. So glad I went with my super robot instincts and picked up the regular one. That level of 80's robot needs a matching color pallet.
TFSource just shipped mine out... via UPS Ground, which is weird because I thought I asked for FedEx.
Just got my Moonbase version in today. Fucking awesome.

>>5710537
Welcome to the club. My "priority mail" is being sent by FedEx ground at the eye-blistering pace of what seems to be 1-2 states per day from AZ to NY...
>>5711102
Take some pics, homeboy.

I can see that
How much diecast does Diabeetles have?
Diabattles has no diecast, and it doesn't matter because he has EVERYTHING ELSE. I just got mine, and holy shit, he is the real fucking deal. The sculpting on the Dianauts would be great on a three inch figure, but on something a goddamn inch tall? Mind blowing.
You know the tiny docking clamps on the front of Battles 3? Half of them are ARTICULATED, the vertical pair on each side can be opened by a few degrees and when you dock it to Battles 1 they automatically clamp back down.
Ugh, you guys are making me want to get multiples. I'm picking mine up from the PO tomorrow. Can't wait! Where would one find the moonbase version for non-crazy prices?
>>5711859
TFSource has them for the same price as a regular one, but they aren't in stock yet.
>>5711859
http://www.robotkingdom.com/takaradiaclonev2pmb.html This is where I got mine. Shipping is a little more expensive than it would be from Japan but still cheaper than any other option I've found.

>Diabattles has no diecast, and it doesn't matter because he has EVERYTHING ELSE.
It's not like wanted it to have diecast. If only I wasn't on a tight budget I'd be getting it because it's just an amazing toy.
>>5712078
Didn't mean to sound accusatory, I'm just in love with this robot.
>>5712110
No problem.
I'm just getting paranoid with these new transforming robots since Eagle Robo was revealed to have hips destroying diecast on its torso.
>>5711573
Great comeback
>>5711847
Please stop making me buy things.

I'm getting increasingly wet waiting for this haul in the mail.
>>5713895
Tell us if Eagle Robo has any issues.
I was hyped as fuck for it but the reviews don't make it look 45 dollar worthy.
>>5713951
I've had Eagle Robo for a couple of weeks now. What concerns do you have about it?
>>5716080
Yep still happy with mine too. No issues.
I only have one Diabattles, could someone with multiples double up the arms and legs and take a pic of him posed in the Vitruvian Man position?
>>5716080
Some reviews I saw showed it had weak hips due to the torso putting too much weight on them.
>>5716505
Well the hips are fine for me, but I have noticed a few ball joints that seem a little loose. That being said, nothing a coat of Future floor polish can't cure. I'd highly recommend picking up a bottle of this stuff to remedy any loose joints you might have on any figure you own.

I'm going to assume that FedEx ground just stops driving on weekends, because my package hit Piscataway, NJ on Friday, and there it remained all weekend
>>5713951
The only issue with mine is that one of the shoulder pegs wasn't in all the way, so I had to push in in completely with some pliers. The transformation was a bit stiff the first time, but after breaking it in it's not really a problem.
>>5716750
I don't think the driving stops, but the sorts do. Other hubs may have different schedules but mine went from around 2pm to 7 or 8am the next day sorting from Monday afternoon to Saturday morning with extra sorts on Sunday during the holidays.
Also, ific the tracking number only tracks the package as it hits a hub or station. It won't show where it is when en route.
That being said, one of the perks of working at a hub was I didn't have to wait for the next day to get my packages, I could just have them held there.
>>5716750
You package can stay inside a container or trailer over the weekends. It will wait for its turn to get sorted by the handlers. As long as they deliver to you on the due date it will still be ontime even if it sits for days .
If you don't want to wait all day wondering when the Fedex ground guy will come , you can go line and choose to hold it at a Fedex office , it's free and if you do it before 6am they should have it there before 12pm
So apparently the reason for Bike Robo's delay is because the wheels weren't rolling well enough, so they changed the engineering to make them work a bit better. Also they added rubber tires.
Not sure how I feel about that last bit.
>>5680179
about that
My Diabattles V2 is arriving today. So fucking excited.
>>5721901
Possibly one of the best transforming robot toys that I own. I've been messing around with it all week. Haven't pulled the trigger on the Moon Base version yet.
>>5721901
HE'S HERE
The only thing I don't like is the size, but the sheer number of options is staggering.
three tons of mecha dong
Does the moonbase version on BBTS come with the bike and minifigure?
>>5721885
Thanks duder. All is right with the world.

If a smooth underside is all you want, the VF-22 is what you need!
