What the hell is going on in that image? So much clipping - I get the feeling that model was never intended to be seen this close.

He transforms into something less interesting than a toaster. I doubt he'll get a toy.
>>5674926
did rotf and dotm even have a gem?
>>5674942
ROTF had a ton.
DOTM? Voyager Megatron and Shockwave were good.
Even though it never got a proper US release, DOTM Wheeljack/Que is a superb toy.
>>5674942
RotF had a crapton of good toys, two extra lines (HFTD and that other one with NEST) that had a great amount of decent mix of Bayformers-Animated-G1 designs and a passable video game.
>>5674928

TRANSFORMERS 5 (Paramount Pictures)
DIRECTOR: Michael Bay, from the previous movies. This is going to be his last "Transformers" movie.
WRITERS: Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, from "Iron Man"; Ken Nolan, from "Black Hawk Down".
PLOT: Optimus Prime returns to Earth and assembles the Autobots to defend the human race from the Creators, the creators of the Transformers, who have nefarious plans for the Universe. Galvatron will also show up. This will launch a new version of the "Transformers" series that will include two more sequels, a "Bumblebee" spin-off and crossovers with properties like G.I. Joe and Micronauts to establish a Hasbro Cinematic Universe.
CAST:
>Mark Wahlberg as Cade Yeager, an inventor and the Autobots' human ally. This might be Wahlberg's last movie in the franchise.
>Isabella Moer as Izabella, "a street-smart tomboy who grew up an orphan and was raised in foster care. She counts a small Transformer as her only friend until she meets Cada and embarks on an adventure". She is described as a lead and will probably be the pivotal character of the new movies.
>Peter Cullen voicing Optimus Prime.
>Frank Welker voicing Galvatron.
>Jerrod Carmichel in talks for a lead role.
>Stephen Merchant in talks for an undisclosed role.
>Jean Dujardin in talks for an undisclosed, villainous role.
>Bumblebee will be back.
>Hound, Drift and Crosshairs expected to come back.
>Apparently there'll be an underwater action scene in the sunken remains of a nuclear submarine.
RELEASE DATE: June 23, 2017.
>yfw this is Bay's last TF movie
>>5675032
>>yfw this is Bay's last TF movie
Yeah, just like the last 2 were his "last" movies.
>>5675032
>>Jerrod Carmichel in talks for a lead role.
>>Stephen Merchant in talks for an undisclosed role.
>>Jean Dujardin in talks for an undisclosed, villainous role.
He's getting a lot of comedic actors for this one. I mean the previous movie had high grade actors like Kelsey Grammer and Stanley Tucci who are legit as fuck.
Granted I do like Jerrod Carmichel, his show on NBC is one of the funniest newer sitcoms on right now, I just hope his character isn't a waste since Bay did waste some funny actors like Ken Jeong and Rainn Wilson in the past.

RELEASE FROM THIS PAIN
We keep nagging about movie-formers, but who are the retards ENCOURAGING this shit?
Haven't watched the tf movies after the first 2.
>>5675057
The retards who go see these movies despite then being terrible each and every time and Hasbro having absolutely no integrity and just churning out whatever garbage they want as long as it earns them a buck.
>>5675057

>>5675059
>Hasbro having absolutely no integrity and just churning out whatever garbage they want as long as it earns them a buck.
I'm sorry, but are you seriously saying that Hasbro, a company whose products are basically made in third-world sweatshops, are lacking integrity because they are making bad movies? That's your beef? Bullshit. Your only real complaint is they're making things you don't like, and those things somehow are turning out to be more successful and profitable than the things you do like. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be saying a peep about "integrity" because that's not what this is really about.
>>5675032
>>Stephen Merchant in talks for an undisclosed role
It's gotta be a robot role. Merchant has a distinct voice. Which robot, is the question.
>>5675107
Actually that's his delusion.
With your logic we wouldn't be here talking about these shitty toys, much like religion
>>5675109
Perceptor or Rung?
>>5675032
>defend the human race from the Creators, the creators of the Transformer
Is that who the 'Creators' are? What an obtuse and difficult to parse name, I never could have conceived of their true nature!
>>5675170
Maybe they thought "quintession" was too intellectual for their intended audience.
>>5674945
>Shockwave
No he wasn't.
What are the best Transformers toys a person can buy online NIB for ~$50 each?

Fuck, you're right, Fixit is basically RID Rung, holy shit.
>>5675186
Everyone should own Voyager Springer
>>5675109
>inb4 It's literally Wheatley: The cybertronian.
Bonus points if blue monoeye and white as a primary colour in his paintscheme.
>>5675059
>>5675107
> Thinking Hasbro makes the call
They sold their cinematic soul to Paramount to get the first movie out there. No one believed Transformers could seriously be a blockbuster until Spielberg endorsed it.
Hasbro gets zilch from the film profits. Paramount owns the movie franchise and are the ones pulling shit after shit to make the crappiest movies they can until the end of time. Hasbro just gets all the licensing money.
>>5675032
>Hasbro Cinematic Universe
Goddamnit I'm getting sick of this shit
>>5675192
>white as a primary paint scheme
So most movie Tf's.
>>5675032
>Hasbro Cinematic Universe
You have got to be joking.
>>5674977
Machine Wars Starscream and Pre-Earth Depth Charge were two of my favorite figures Botcon ever did. It probably has more to do with how awesome that mold is, but fuck if it didn't work gloriously for those two characters.
>>5675204
That Depth Charge is the only Botcon figure I own, snagged him up at $10 a year or two ago, still not sure if I got a really good deal or if he's just not that in-demand. At any rate I already liked the mold as Terradive and the brighter colors make that shit pop.
>>5675032
>No movie version of Rook
Goddamnit.
>>5675203
I wonder if we'll ever get a series reboot that sticks closer to G1 and the characters and style?
I'd love a movie set in the 80's with less emphasis on advertising cars.
I don't wanna be a geewunner but imagine how neat that would look. Not necessarily one to one blocky cartoon robots but something similar to the comics so we can tell who's who and stuff.
I like how Marvel does it with their style of making the characters look like the characters and it works.
>>5675206
I think it has to do with how readily available he was. I feel like they made a TON of that figure. I got him for 30 bucks the week after he was released.
Botcon MW Starscream was like 70 bucks though. Still worth it.
>>5675209
Just a middle ground between all the designs would suffice. Like, voyager Seaspray is a movie figure, but I love its aesthetic. Make them all look about like that. Less spiky shifty metal and a smidge more blocky.
>>5674945
I kind of want to melt that thing just to put it out of its apparent misery.
>>5675209
Honestly, the actual robot designs are the least of my issues with the movies. Like, I can see why people don't like them but I think some of them (mainly the Decepticons) are pretty cool, especially the less humanoid ones like Rampage. Of course, the biggest problems are the puerile writing, flat characterization, too much focus on the humans and excessive commercial pandering. Like, the robots turning into cool cars that you can actually buy and all, but when the whole movie is just an advert for General Motors it's kinda stupid. And that's not even going into Age of Extinction's China pandering (which to be fair was still far less obnoxious than it was in The Martian).
That said, if we did get a rebooted film continuity, I'd like it if they made them a bit more "traditional". Not GEEWUN box-men of course, and still detailed/realistic, but a bit more blocky and cohesive- think the Cybertron aesthetic, or perhaps Maketoys' look. Perhaps they could have the Autobots look more "traditional" with Brave/Cybertron/Maketoys-esque designs, whilst the Decepticons have the uglier, more inhuman designs similar to the route they went in the actual movies.
>>5675222
One of the things that bothers me about the movie designs is that they feel very American and industrial. I feel this is a western thing.
In Japan I feel like they use more stylish and artistic styles for giant robot designs. The Brave Series being an example.
Not that I think we need to ape Asian designs but less industrial and more heroic is cool. I think that's why drifts design in the last movie was my favorite. He's got the most personality to his look.
And to be treated like a real scifi movie instead of popcorn summer flick would be cool too.
I just want war for cybertron's story to continue, will they ever consider getting high moon back on board or has platinum's efforts sealed the deal?
I liked wfc's toys too
>>5675222
I'd be okay with keeping the shifting metal junkyard motif for the in-between spots of the robots, like the elbows/knees/neck in between more traditional blocky bits. I think that could help bridge the gap between the godawfulness we have now and the 'too goofy' g1 designs that execs don't seem to want to go near.
>>5675107
I wasn't aware you could make such an inaccurate analysis based on my comment yet here we are.
Since you seem to think you know what I'm talking about, then what is this really about?
>>5675186
Generations Springer
CW Legends Shockwave
Generations Legends Cosmos
I discovered this thing I drew ages ago that you guys might like. It's a pencil sketch of a female Seeker archetype. Sorry about the smudges, this was a straight scan with no post-processing.
It turned out alright I guess. She's a little messy here and there but overall I think I did OK. I designed her with a MiG-29 in mind as an alt mode (I've always thought it would be cool if the Seekers turned into Russian jets).
>>5675255
Okay.
>>5675255
Not terrible, could be an interesting character if fleshed out a bit even.
Russian accent, shitty flyer but soaks up damage, most comfortable when strafing ground targets while least comfortable when engaging other aircraft. Can't think of a good Russian-sounding TF name though. Try cleaning her up and outlining/coloring.
>>5675247
The funny thing about Generations Springer is that you can still find him at MSRP or at least close to around it, Hasbro really wanted to fuck with Fansproject and their Warbot Defender.
>>5674890
I somewhat agree with this because the MP line repaints molds like few other lines have done. How many fucking Datsuns do you even need when only Prowl and Smokescreen were memorable?
>butt they have to make a gain with the licenses and engineering costs
I don't remember this guy getting a repaint yet he is much more complex than any MP and bled money for Hasbro to two licenses.
Also, gimmicks up the ass.
>>5675265
Thanks. And yeah, it is a pretty old drawing, I'm surprised it came out as non-awful as it did to be honest. If I were better with GIMP I'd digitally retouch/outline/colour her- I might still have a shot at it. I'm no drawfag but I do have some good ideas now and again.
>>5675255
Why does she have a belly button?
>>5675275
Same reason she has a face as opposed to a lens- humanization to make her seem more appealing (which is ironic considering she's a Decepticon).
The real reason is my raging fetish for robot tummies.
>>5674945
>DOTM? Voyager Megatron and Shockwave were good.
Shockwave looks good but he is not a good toy. Skyhammer is better.
>Even though it never got a proper US release, DOTM Wheeljack/Que is a superb toy.
I agree though I hate his knees.

>Waist swivel, ball jointed shoulders, thigh and upper arm swivel, ankle/wrist tilt, elbows and knees AND can even move his head left and right where you'd think he would be unable
I am SO glad I snagged the last Quillfire today.
I'd even go as far as to say that Quillfire is the most badass manlet in my entire collection. He oozes personality
The vehicle mode is serviceable but nothing to write home about. I'm sure it looks more aesthetically pleasing in the TAV colours but his main draw is definitely the stocky, orca-faced half-porcupine robot mode.
I'd recommend him to even the most stonehearted geewunner.
>>5675433
I wanted to paint him in Blot colors.
>>5675395

He has quills on his back, plus a quill dagger weapon.
>>5675484
Look behind his head man, he has a load of porcupine quills sticking out back there. I just like how unique and alien he looks whilst still being cartoony and fun
>>5675477
I probably can yes, also, allow me to reiterate.
SCAVENGER IS SO DAMN CUTE HORRY SHEET
>>5675477

Can you do a stoic dandere Soundwave? (Just keeping up with a soundwave superior/constructicons inferior theme)

>>5675604
Do you have any risers behind them? I like how mine look when they're standing in the back, but they have to be high enough for their legs to be visible behind the heads of the first row, otherwise it looks too clusterfucked for me.
>>5675212
>just not enough to spend $40+ on it again in gray/black.
40 bucks isn't really a bad price for a Botcon deluxe though; especially of one using the old school classic molds. Nowadays, CW Deluxes with simple transformations and shitty plastic go for over 20 bucks.
>>5675604
Have your plane and helicopters dock on the back of your ground guys
>>5675613
I would pay $20 for that Warpath repaint, but anything over $25 feels like too much to my poorfag tastes. I would've liked to get Runabout and Runamok too, but then so does everyone.
>>5675188
Considering that RID pulled from Prime for the returning characters, the movies for Drift (including his color scheme being the original design for movie drift) and Grimlock, G1 for sideswipe, it's pretty possible they borrowed the colorscheme considering fixit never transforms, is largely there for moral support, has big eyebrows, and is smaller than everyone else.
>>5675574

So, I've started watching RID, despite the minor issue of Grimlock being named Grimlock, it's a decent show so far
Which are other good toys in this line, beside the weapon minicons and the usual Quillfire+Thunderhoof?
Gah, I should be working, but all I can think about are big female robots. Damn you /toy/!
>>5675705
you are pathetic and weak.
>>5675713
I was already aware of that.
>>5675714
as long as youre aware of it.
>>5675704
The warrior class toys are quite samey. They feature similar amount of articulation/accessories/paint etc. so it's a matter of whether you like the designs. The only glaring issues are Grimlock's exploding elbows and Sideswipe's chest/shoulders unable to lock into place.
Legion toys are great for their size as usual but they have no accessories this time round...
One Deployer class toy that stands out is Crazybolt. It's transformation gives it enough joints to be more than a gimmick-brick.

>yfw they are doing a Hasbro Cinematic Universe that continues off the existing movies

I started as a challenge, i was the guy who drew superheroes and someone asked if i could draw a naked anime char, people liked it and asked for more. influences, pretty much everything, just go to h, theres a draw thread, take some requests and practice.
>>5675209
>I wonder if we'll ever get a series reboot that sticks closer to G1 and the characters and style?
Prime One Studios is doing a line of Nizzi studios that are basically that. Really makes me wish we'd see an actual movie with that kind of style.
>>5675704
All the Warrior class Decepticons are good. Megatronus and Fracture are just a little generic, but perfectly poseable and solid.
Avoid the Mini-Cons until the Weaponizers (ones with 5mm ports) come out next month or you want the ball-shaped ones for Crazybolt
>>5675734
I still wonder why the fuck they are doing two lines of statues with basically the same theme. Except one is movie-styled G1 while the other is reboot G1???
>>5674958
No he isn't, not normally atleast.
>>5675632
The last four TF movies have a hardly coherent continuity and each almost exists within a vacuum of one another.
They are a mess.
>>5675734
Idk though I honestly think that looks worse than the regular movie design.
I guess I think movie Optimus and Bumblebee are perfectly fine designs, and like it's pretty much everyone else where it the aesthetic breaks down.
Too many bots have no saturated colors on them so you just get this mess of panels and details with no shapes and blocks of color that stick out, and their silhouettes aren't super well-differentiated either.
But I think you could make a set of bots that would read as basically the same aesthetic/style as the movie bots if you just tried to keep along the lines of Optimus and Bumblebee where all the grey mechanical detaily shit is broken up by bright colors in distinctive shapes, and you also made sure everyone had silhouettes that read pretty differently with like a lot of different body types and certain people having like maybe some obvious altmode kibble sticking up on their backs and things like that. Basically how they help keep character designs straight in stuff like the comics where there's always a detail you can look at and go "oh that's red alert" or whatever even when a character undergoes a design change
'07 or DOTM Voyager Ironhide?
>>5675288
I wish the movies had a bit more life and fun to them rather than just being made to be cash cows.
>>5675757
Recon Ironhide for the weapon set.
>>5675734
I still don't why a totally g1 style is off the cards, I don't think it'd look weird.
>>5675737
>All the Warrior class Decepticons are good.
Not Steeljaw.
his figure is godawful.
>>5675761
You know, it took me this long looking at this stale meme for it to sink in that we're getting a Grimlock Headmaster.
>Me Grimlock no cassette player, me king!
>>5675765
I forgot his Warrior figure even existed to be honest. If Scorponok's anything to go by the rest of the Decepticon figures have been atoning for Steeljaw ever since
>>5675767
I can't wait to put the Clobber head on the new swole Megatron's body.
>>5675770

Optimus is just one of those cases where the idea intersects because Optimus' movie concept isn't that different.But Nizzi Megatron looks to be closer to the movie designs with the alt-mode, with just hints of g1 Megatron like the helmet shape and the fusion canon. While the other line will simply be more detailed versions of g1 characters with their g1 alt-modes.
>>5675760
No wonder he murdered Bludgeon with no effort at all.
>>5675734
>>5675789
These look too much like they come from a videogame.
Would love figures of both, though.
>>5675756
I agree that's the main issue with the way they are perceived by most.
Even the decepticons have good silhouettes but since they are not characters and are painted gray nobody can tell them apart. Even worse, most decepticons take on the form of military vehicles which are not exactly bright-colored or easy to tell apart.

So for us that didn't catch it on Amazon, can we expect Groove to show up on other retailer sites like HTS, BBTS, and TRU?
>>5675985
Who would your top 10 be, anon? I'm considering buying more movie stuff because of Transformers 5 looming over us.
>>5676000
I don't see why not. Official "street date" is May 24th so expect most retailers to put Groove up then.
>>5676036
Word. I was just making sure I hadn't missed that it was a super exclusive thing or something.
What's the best toy of Movie Ratchet? The '07 voyager looks kinda fat.
>>5676057
The Rotf one is alright, Inaccurate altmode and hip kibble, but he has a movie accurate gun, The Dotm deluxe has a accurate altmode, and no hip kibble, much cleaner robotmode based on the Dotm and Aoe Colour scheme, but his shoulder wheels can't fold down so it's inaccurate in that regard, gun isn't accurate but has a sawblade similiar to the one he had in the films, it uses 5mm holes unlike the Rotf one, so you can give him other guns.
>>5676057
I like the DOTM version. It's available in Lime Green, Cherry Red, and Vanilla White too.

Bravo.
What are the best representations of each major Movie character?
Also, are HA figures meant to be in a particular scale, because regular '07 Jazz looks like shit. I'm okay with chunky CHUG stuff, but I expect Bayformers to look fairly sleek 90% of the time (mainly talking Autobots here).
>PLOT: Optimus Prime returns to Earth and assembles the Autobots to defend the human race from the Creators, the creators of the Transformers, who have nefarious plans for the Universe.
Lmao so basically Optimus flew into space thinking he was tough shit cuz he barely beat Lockdown, realized the "creators" would body his ass and flew back to earth like a pussy to rally his army of jobbers and dinos to fight for him

TAKARA WINS AGAIN
>>5676362
I think it'll be better once the street date hits. Brakeneck and Quickslinger lingered online for a few days iirc. Hell, I was on the fence for buying them for at least a day or two after their release until I finally bit the bullet and ordered em.
As long as you aren't a total dumbass I think it won't be difficult to get one after the first few days of its release.
>>5676395
I'm still kicking myself for not getting Quickslinger. I don't want to pay $45+ for a single deluxe. I'll probably end up buying one of those complete superiors off of tfw for like $100 and then resell the rest.
>>5676391
Easily the most debatable of the release so far, so not really. Whereas others were straight up easy contests, this one just never looks right to me, too many unpainted sections of Hot Spot details and no unifying colour scheme to break him up. That and the one outright victory, Swindle, doesn't make up for monkey's paw Blastoff. That arm looks wonkier and wonkier every time I see it.
Would much rather a cheap remold.
>>5676391
>dat deformed right upper arm
Will there be a figure as divisive as Takara's Blast Off anytime soon? At this point I believe I'll have to custom someone into Blast Off because Hasbro's color is almost the same as Takara's Brawl.
Also, my autism can't handle that the hips in the boxart are not what the actual figure will have.

>deluxe murderbee
Let's all be honest here and admit that Bumblbee in any of the movieverse toys was pretty garbage. Murderbee was only fun because of how malicious he looked in black with red light piping. As far as overall aesthetic, silhouette, articulation, poseabilitiy, and transformation, he was still a crappy toy. He just looked so charmingly evil.
>>5676432
I'd say it's fine, it's my favourite movie bumblebee figure.
>>5676432
Battle Blades Bumblebee and Octane Bumblebee were good.
The only issue with the latter was that the plastic was often so shitty that it might as well have an octane.
>>5676432
I liked Battle Blade Bumblebee

Did they added a cab to Onslaught?

No, that's a custom partsforming piece.

I'd be all over this if it could be fully integrated into all of the three modes.
What's the obsession of third parties with partsforming?

Hasbro already tried once to get a shared universe with its cartoons and comics going. "Unit E".
You see what they did there.

>>5676555
That looks like G1 Onslaught, though.
>>5676558
Murrica can't accept the idea of a powerful warrior with the purest of hearts, not if its a male character without sexual deviations, "he must be crazy".
>>5676563
Post-modernism was a mistake.
>>5676558
Because comic books are currently in an era where no one can truly be good or evil. Everything has to be a morass of grey or fobiles.
It happens, it's not exclusive to TF comics. Just like how in the 90's every character was an edgelord because that was the style of the time.
>>5676558
The writer for MTMTE is a fan fiction writer from the early 90s days of TF fandom. And the guy had a hard-on hatred for Star Sabre and wrote him, in his fanfic, as a villainous holier than now asshole who thought he was better than everyone else.
>>5676584
I mean, Star Saber IS better than anyone else but part of that is that he is much more humble than everyone else.
Bongs really seem to be immature twats by default.
>>5676558
James Roberts is an overrated hack.
>>5676584
God that sickens me. And I can tell there's so much bias reading it.
The gay stuff was weird at first but hey, they're robots, it's not like their slobbering all over each other and fucking with greasy organic genitals and practically everyones masculine on Cybertron so prison gay rules.
But everyone has the same personality too. Everyone talks the same. Characters will kill in one issue, then be forgiven, then kill again, then be forgiven, then be killed themselves but oh wait robots so he's back.
Whirl is annoyingly randumb. And I say this as someone who likes him.
Megatron is the most fun character to read but he's written so out of character. I mean, I used to do fanfic type shit like that too but it still comes off weird sometimes.
But fuck me, I keep reading it because Cybertronian slice of life is my jam. I used to play with my Transformers like that as a kid, just chilling and talking and doing SCIENCE and shit with fights every now and then.
>>5676579
Thats how it is in every comic these days. It's doubly bad because they're also hamfistedly trying to combine it with "progressive" ideas and doing nothing but alienating people because the people who want to see everything "progressive" don't buy comics in the first place.
MTMTE jumped the shark when Rewind starting calling Chromedome Domey.
>>5676597
>Megatron is the most fun character to read but he's written so out of character.
Not the first time in TF history he's had a change of heart. And because it's comics, he'll probably return to status quo at some point.
>then be killed themselves but oh wait robots so he's back
They're generally inconsistent with what kills a TF. Generally, full on head destruction will do it, and spark killing. So, brain and heart, to keep it simple for people. But sometimes blowing the head off doesn't do shit because it just doesn't, and thats the most inconsistent part usually. TF always has been really dodgy on what kills one though throughout all the series, so it's not like this is a sudden thing.
Part of why I wish they'd just drop the whole spark/head shit, as it makes asspulls less ass-pulley because people can accept "lol we rebuilt the robot" easier than "somehow this robot survived it's head being asploded and heart ripped out".
>>5676608
Characters have given each other retarded nicknames in the comics before. Not familiar with the old Marvel run are you.

People get shot through the brain and heart and survive all the time while it kills others, I see nothing wrong with it in the comics.
Ahhh, transformers gender wars.
It's where Boys have tailpipes and girls have tailpipes

Scorponok is definitely coming back. Come season 3, these guys will be stuck in stasis while he gets out and gets stuff done. Though, from their screen time, Saberhorn looked by far the most impressive, though Scorponok felt like he was the top Con there while he was around.
