Groovy edition.
Old Thread: >>5692269
So, how is everyones Groove hunt? If you even care anyway.
>>5694544
When is fucking S Mart gonna restock Groove? Fucks sake these retailers suck
>>5694548
I'm hunting Shockwaves atm so I can form a squadron of gun bots.
Also, I can find Groove and Wreck-Gar pretty damn easily just about anywhere
>>5694548
I won't be able to try to get him until next Friday, hopefully not every single store will be sold out by then
>>5694551
No idea, the S-Mart guys are always so unhelpful.
>>5694551
>>5694565
I guess you could say the S-Mart guys aren't very SMart.
>>5694548
got UW one
bought two when Amazon had him at 17
trying to find a fourth
>>5694560
Ah, so you're the reason I can't find any shockwaves
>>5694583
You can get him right on Amazon for $10-15 usually.
>>5694548
I just pre-ordered him from BBTS. It's overpriced as fuck but I don't have to try chasing him down 24/7.
>>5694588
Same here. I'll pay the shitter surchage fee for not being awake the night they decided to toss them online.
Fuck midnight release bullshit.
>>5694604
Nah. $5-7 markup I can handle. Thats not buying a sandwich for lunch one day.
But those fuckwads selling him for $40+? I'd just say fuck it and let it rot and go Grooveless.
>>5694604
Dude they've been selling out in seconds everywhere. It's between paying a little more, staying up for weeks straight refreshing every online store, or not getting it at all.
The only reason BBTS has it at all is because the markup keeps scalpers from grabbing them all.
>>5694588
>It's overpriced as fuck but I don't have to try chasing him down 24/7.
When did $7 over retail become "overpriced as fuck"?
>>5694618
I'd call anything at near 50% markup over the usual price "overpriced". It's not expensive in the grand scheme of things, but it is overpriced when compared to any other MSRP Deluxe.
>>5694622
Especially with it being a really simple deluxe.
>>5694618
It's the price of a voyager dude. Don't pretend it's not overpriced.
I mean I get why it's priced that way and I'm still buying it, but I'm not going to delude myself into thinking I'm not overpaying. I'm just overpaying for a ton of peace of mind and saved time.
>>5694622
>but it is overpriced when compared to any other MSRP Deluxe.
It IS an online exclusive for us. Not to mention how fast it's selling out everywhere.
Just one of those things I never understand about the fandom. Yeah, I get not wanting to pay more than retail, but if you REALLY want it, then seven extra bucks is no big deal.
Just all reminds me of Master Fwiffo back in the Prime First Edition days carrying on and constantly whining about not being able to buy the toys despite being around online. The months long of constant whining was energy that could have been better spend just breaking down and ordering from eBay or something.
>>5694614
>or not getting it at all.
Honestly? That sounds the most sane, he's not a great toy and has more issues than most.
The only reason he is so sought after is sour grapes from November.
If he was a normal release I wager he would have glutted shelf space with Streetwise.
>>5694631
>price of a voyager
That's not helping your case considering voyagers are bigger and usually mean more engineering as well.
>>5694635
>The only reason he is so sought after is sour grapes from November.
Honestly, I want him more to use as a prop motorcycle for other figures. I wasn't buying a UW Defensor just for him, either.
>>5694640
are you even reading the posts you're responding to
>>5694632
>but if you REALLY want it
you wait for the drop.
Even Break Neck and Sunslinger had a spell where they were going for retail price steadily with no instant demand, I got an extra of each because of it. Yes it shit back up but a lot of people got him cheap that didn't bite the bullet and payed 7+ extra because they feared never getting.
Groove here?
He's gonna glut space. He is showing stupid high demand and they will meet the print where it's online store fronts rather than brick and mortar stores that have to have room to begin with.
Also with the fresh hot shit of Titan Returns being less than a month away, Combiner Wars as a whole is going to take a dive in value for a while just like the thrilling 30 guys before them. and where Groove is in his own case of 6 he is going to get hit hard in value for awhile.
>>5694649
>I want him more to use as a prop motorcycle for other figures
He is the worse deluxe for that. We have had 4 bikes deluxe molds that are better (5 if you count this guy)
>>5694653
I mean it's cool that you think that, but how's have no reason to assume that it WILL be dropping past what it already has. We have no dates and no communication from the company.
>>5694658
Yeah, but this one is also in the aesthetic I like (ie: not animated/prime/movieshit/rid stylized stuff) and also goes with the other CW figures I own.
He's going to be pulling triple duty as a prop, figure in his own right, and a combiner limb.
>>5694653
>you wait for the drop.
I'm perfectly willing to spend seven extra dollars to get him and be sure and not worry about possibly missing out and paying extra down the road.
I skipped Wildrider and Slingshot because I was planning on getting the Takara sets. I eventually decided against that because they were not really worth it to me, and by that point the Hasbro releases had gone too far in price for me.
I never intended on getting Takara's Defensor because I don't really want him. I'm getting rove though because I like how it looks and had Groove as a kid so a having a rare proper update is nice.
>>5694664
You also have the junkion mold.
I want groove just to make this guy.
>>5694678
"The evil pizzas were no match for a simple stoplight!"
>>5694662
It's true, you have no dick.
I'm not shooting in the dark here, this happens with every western TF toy series. The new stuff pops up, the old stuff specifically the stuff months and up before it take a hard dive in value including exclusives because people want the new stuff. And the communication is written on the walls, you would not put up August/October pre-orders unless you had confidence from your distributor that they were coming in.
I'll eat the crow if I'm wrong but it's been 6 for 6 since I watch these habits in the TF market happen and so far things take a pretty hard dive that first year they get replaced by the new line if they are not a convention exclusive but even then some of those do take a dip. Will it climb back up? Absolutely but unless you are flighty with your desires you will catch those toys you wanted for a good price without having to stay up at 4 am.
>>5694681
Still waiting for UW Devy to drop like a rock.
Or, failing that, CW Devy to hit $50. He was at $90-ish last Xmas...
>>5694692
>Still waiting for UW Devy to drop like a rock
did you miss the "western TF toy series" or were you serious? Easter TF toys stuff doesn't usually lower in value f it's exclusive or a know character and not an OC thing. Most of that is due to the genuine lower print run and limited access to western markets since it's literally an eastern market focused toy line.
>Or, failing that, CW Devy to hit $50.
That is a tad unrealistic however he has dip to $100 a few times in the last 3 months so I can see it drop back close to that a little bit before fall.
>>5694681
Well good luck with that, kiddo.
>>5694709
I've had plenty of luck already. I got Groove off the original $ 16 amazon listing so I'm in no need for more but when he drops back to that or less I'll grab another.
Im not trying to upset you anons I just get really frustrated when I see the same mistakes happen over and over again.
I suddenly had some sort of nostalgic impulse to continue the storylines I used to have as a kid for some reason.
How is Night Slash Cheetor?
>>5694713
So you be sayin that you caught groove during his .0001 seconds of availability, and that everyone else should just F5 the page night and day in case he ever gets listed again?
Damn. What a good idea.
>>5694548
I bought him at scramblecore. I feel for anyone who got stuck having to get him from big bad toy scalpers.
>>5694728
What are you talking about? I said I was lucky because that's what you tossed at me.
An anon link it here a few generals ago I follow the link and place and order.
I had luck and I bragged
And Im not telling you anything, you already made your choice, I'm just sharing that he wikll more than likely be back to that price or cheaper within the next few months. Titan Returns is going to make a lot of changing hands. Groove is literally the flavor of the month. The demand will drop but the supply was there
>>5694736
For starters Soundwave was a TRU exclusives tied to one storefront and that front had brick and mortar stores to stock and distribute the toy. Some places did get a glut of him while others got one shipment. He was not an online exclusive like groove that any store front can open an order to get
Unless you are talking the Takara one which I already shared the eastern market doesn't work like that over here.
>Did he ever get relisted in bulk again?
That hardly relates to my bigger point that was aimed at Groove specifically. A toy that is popping up on several sights and has Preoders as late as October. Soundwave didn't get that because -again- he was to a single store.
You claim I'm talking out my ass when you are clearly doing a mix of moving the goal post and grasping at straws.
>>5694754
Preorders get cancelled all the time. We were told the toy would release in May. Until official word is released pretending that it's actually coming out in October is just wishful thinking.
Fuck me, it seems like I actually DID manage to snag one of the Entertainment Earth CW Groove figs before it sold out. Unless EE somehow shipped the wrong thing, I just got an email with my FedEx shipping code for it. I'll keep you all posted if it turns out to actually BE him and post my thoughts on the figure in general when it gets here.
Meantime, good luck to everyone else trying to get him.
>>5694759
By your logic I could say it's wishful thinking to think he won't drop in price soon.
I get it, you stake your claim you paid extra because a fear that he might not drop but I will stand by what I said, I believe he will drop again, he will become more available and for a decent window any one that wants him for under $20 after shipping will get their chance.
>>5694762
>I'll keep you all posted
No one cares.
>>5694762
>post my thoughts on the figure in general when it gets here.
Oh boy like we haven't had that in the last 5 threads... or seven months
>>5694762
For fuck sakes anons we are a small community but we are not a blog post
Why do 3rd party threads not pull this shit yet we do?
It's nearly the same user count.
>>5694765
Because Transformers totally fall in price, especially limited availability exclusives.
>>5694782
We dont care if he shares similar interests. We care that he just has to act like we all care about his life and that we want updates.
>>5694784
Caring about things other folks like is literally what this thread is for, so long as it is Transformers. If nobody ever posted updates on their opinions and pics of their toys, Goddamned TOYS, may I remind you, this thread would cease to exist. Maybe you should go back to /v/ where folks sit around hating each other and what they are there to talk about. This is /toy/. We're here to have a good time.
>>5694790
You aren't getting it.
We are okay that he likes transformers.
We aren't okay that he thinks we care about what is going on in his life like this is his blog.
"I'll keep you updated"
Again. Nobody cares or asked for that.
>>5694791
Okay, then let him post. Don't tell him to shut up, he might actually have something valuable to contribute. Do you really think that nobody but oldfags like you are capable of running the discussion here? New users are the lifeblood of any community. Shut them out and the community grows stale and dies.
>>5694797
But it's not his blog and we honestly dont care.
>>5694799
No, you personally don't care. The community as a whole needs posters who are friendly and want to talk about plastic toy robots who (usually) turn into other things. Who fucking cares that it isn't his blog? It isn't yours either. As long as it is relevant to the topic, this is the thread for it.
More importantly, he does not need your permission to post. :) Please continue your way through your bag of dicks, and have a pleasant morning.
>>5694805
>you
I'm clearly not the only one that knows this isn't a personal blog. I'm sorry you're offended, but there are many resources to create a free blog.
I care about that anons Groove updates.
>>5694808
Thank you.
>>5694805
Thanks for having common sense, Anon. Here, have a pic of Swerve covered in pantsu.
Someone at IDW needs to step in and free Windblade from Marighread Scott's clutches if they keep insisting on trying to make her a major character.
>>5694835
And stop all of the romance subplots for a good year or so. It's like a fucking soap opera up in this cunt.
>>5694835
They'll never get rid of her because they don't want to deal with the fallout. Look what happens on TFW anytime someone implies she's a terrible writer.
>>5694841
Roberts becoming aware of his tumblr fanbase was the worst thing that could've happened to MTMTE.
>>5694845
What fallout? SJW's don't buy what they bitch about, it's been proven time and again with every pandering attempt.
So... This is it.
Im never getting a Groove
>>5694849
You'll get one Anon. There will be some for you.
>>5694849
No. You won't.
>>5694853
I wish they would release a new Prime with yellow eyes.
>>5694762
Welcome to the club, though you're a bit late to the party m8.
Hope your one is fine qc wise, the arm ratchets on mine are kinda loose
Whoa, was the site frozen for anyone else? I wonder why.
>>5694953
Yeah, was all fucked up.
Happens from time to time, until we get site maintained by robots people will always fuck up.
>transformers general
>racist gamer gate etc
>nothing to do with transformers in any shape or form
>>5694653
>rather than brick and mortar stores that have to have room to begin with
Have you looked in any brick/mortar store lately? Pegs are usually
a) empty
or
b) clogged with Bruticus/Sky Reign limbs. <and even that is better than some poor saps still sitting on Defensor/Optimus Maximus limbs.
>>5694949
>Hope your one is fine qc wise, the arm ratchets on mine are kinda loose
Is that really an issue? It sounds rather minor compared to Skylynx's combiner legs, for example. Then again I've also been very forgiving of Brawl's shoulders.
>>5694949
Is it just me, or was CW Wreck-Gar originally meant to be Rung?
>colour scheme is a vivid orange unlike any version of G1 Wreck-Gar
>Legends Groove head has a helmet and goggles/glasses
>Legends Groove mould has a wheel on its back
>Rung has blocky forelegs and one-toe feet
It's only semi-feasible I realise, but IDW does influence the release of figures somewhat.
>>5694849
I bought mine off of Amazon, and I'm Canadian!
>>5695062
There's that Rosanna from Onslaught and Omega Supreme from Sentinel Prime thinking again.
Don't be stupid.
>>5694853
I am like 99.9% positive that I am the only person in existence that thinks this is a cute couple.

Calling Furgeson Prime
>>5695062
Yeah, he could work, just need a new head.
This is a real shit show of a thread, the last few were also really bad.
>>5695062
That would be a whole lot of Rung love since we already got RID Fixit.
>>5695069
>Implying TR Sentinel Prime's design wasn't influenced by Energon Omega Supreme
>>5695134
You're seeing shit that ain't there, don't be deluded.
>>5694999
That was anon's point
The online store fronts don't get clogged shelves like real stores and unlike real stores they can order the demanded/hot item without having to fear what having to do with back stock.
>>5695118
>>5695136
>>5695122
You mean an old head
>>5695143
Anybody that disagrees with you is baiting? if you say so.
>>5695138
Ahhh....well shit.
I read "rather than brick and mortar stores that have to have room to begin with"
as
"rather than brick and mortar stores that have room to begin with"
>>5695150
Anybody that disagrees with you is deluded? If you say so.
>>5695151
With what mold?
Remember the groove mold doesn't work on skyreign and he hasn't got any cycle limbs, unless they go full OC on him
>>5695156
For seeing shit that isn't there? yeah, they are.
>>5695157
>Remember the groove mold doesn't work on skyreign
he doesn't???
then why was Wreck Gar advertised with him?
>>5695162
Cancelled idea, something to promote him, take your pick.
You can fan mode him on, but nothing is mentioned on his box, his manual, and no safe obvious connection
Is Computron coming out as a set or its components will be sold normally but as part of Titan Wars?
Ultra Prime was a mistake.
>>5695138
and for the most part I agree it makes most online items easier to get assuming you have a credit card and a US address
As stupid as it sounds I was relieved when I heard Groove was going to be online distributed because that was a ensured shot at me getting more of that mold with no stress of having to store hunt and stress about if a store was even going to get it. And the online fronts of those store's exclusives are nightmares, TRU does one per exclusive and you are lucky they do a second run online. Target lists them but never offers them. I think Walgreen's is the only store that has an online stock that restocks regularly.
>>5695179
Both hasbro and takara computrons are coming out as sets only
>>5695179
Gift Set likely online only as it's release is near wave 2 of TR
>Ultra Prime
I agree 110% I would have been more sympathetic about it if the wave after it (Bruticus) was all heavy retools/new molds but it was just two decent amount retools (Swindle, Onslaught) one new mold and it was the worse of the line yet (Brawl) and two straight repaints (Vortex, Blast-Off) and it was followed by another pile of repaints with new heads and only one had a new tooled car hood.
CW was a very promising line that got insulting very fast
Many thanks to the folks at dorksidetoys.com for their speedy service. Wasn't expecting this guy until Monday or Tuesday, easy.
>>5695202
No Q.C. issues really. The right arm elbow ratchet is 'slightly' more forgiving the the left, and the tabs in the legs are actually a bit too tight, but that's a GOOD thing. It means he won't go into exploding-leg mode as the combiner arm.
>>5695136
You must be blind bro. See a doctor.
>>5695204
Go work for funpub, bub.
If anyone is looking to get this guy at all, ignore the Rook defenders. This guy is a fantastic mold in his own right.
>>5695203
So its pretty similar to mine, its workable but not perfect like most of CW.
Gonna go g1 limb on him or gonna go oc?
>>5695209
G1 limb. I'm not talented enough to go full O.C. with repaints and part swaps.
is Platinum Predaking worth picking up?
Does he have any known QC issues?
Almost to my chagrin, I've actually grown to like TFP Abominus over time. The individual bots are fun, especially Blot and Hungrr, but with a little reworking their combined mode is actually pretty ok. You can use the arms' waists as elbows and, while not really knee articulation, you get some like bent leg and foot articulation with Blot and Rippersnapper. He's just growing on me I guess.
>>5695208
>ignore the rook defenders
Many want rook and him both as limbs
>>5695215
Save for Feral Rex. The old G1 brick just isn't worth it.
>>5695215
>Does he have any known QC issues?
Beyond what the original had?
No.
>>5695221
>greebleformers
No thanks, i've been burned with 3rd party toys before.
he'd also be like double the price of Predaking.
Can anyone else explain to me why Alpha Bravo is going for so much?
At times he is beating out the original Airelbots in value.
$40+ for an OC that was reused to make Vortex?
I just don't see the demand.
>>5695219
Kind of walking poses, bent legs with poseable feet. Could be worse.
>>5695210
I meant more OC configuration, ie menasor limb etc, fuck potentially ruining an exclusive toy.
But hay, same here, nostalgia is just too strong for anything else
>>5695220
I would honestly drop Blades out of the 5 limbs. Not because I don't like the character, I just really dislike that copter mold. Maybe Blades could have a backpack mode or something.
>>5695235
Yeah really
I just check ebay out of curiosity and the cheapest buy it now was $35 used.
I get the others of that wave going price but I'm really lost how doughnut steel is in such demand
I thought most fans have greatly dislike the CW helicopter mold.
>>5695240
completionist maybe?
>>5695237
Blades really is the odd man out of the Protectobots.
>Let's take this team of rescue vehicles. . .
>. . .and make THIS guy a bloodthristy psycho who prefers to cut up people!
>>5695240
That sounds retarded, especially since the heli mold has that port problem.
>>5695233
Probably Hasblokes who got cucked out of Quickslinger desperately trying to complete Superion.
>>5695254
I never got the Hasbro quickslinger and didn't feel like paying aftermarket ~$50 for a single deluxe so I just bought the UW one and resold my Hasbro limbs. Worked out to only about $100 for the uw set.
>>5695249
That was only in the G2 Furman comic.

>>5694548
Got mine from Amazon when he first went up for $17. I'm good.
What would be the least suspicious and blandest deco possible for a decepticon?
I need to finish that Banzaitron idea I had like two years ago.
>>5695312
Hi, watched armada but couldn't stomach the cgi of the next 2.
Was anything mentioned about starscream/alexis in energon and cybertron?
Not gonna lie, I hoped for further developments
>>5695332
I haven't watched them since they aired and I was a kid then, but I think there was a small cameo of the Armada kids in the other two at some point and I THINK that they made reference to it in energon, but I might be misinformed there
>>5695329
Friendly yellow and blue.
>>5695332
Alexis (hot and grown up) had a cameo in energon.
Starscream got brainwashed (recurring thing in the show)
>>5695240
I wouldn't mind Alpha Bravo that much if it wasn't that the Aerialbots all have fast as fuck altmodes.
He'd be like catching up to them all the time because fucking helicopters are slow.
>>5695335
>>5695337
>starscream got brain washed
I'm so fucking glad I stopped then
>>5695062
I think CW Shockwave would make a good Rung.
>>5695332
>Was anything mentioned about starscream/alexis in energon and cybertron?
No. If you were a robot in Energon you either got no character development at all, or got some which was then cancelled out by mindwiping.
>>5695360
I really wonder what they're gonna remold CW Shockwave as. You know they're gonna, the mold is too good to not reuse.
>>5695337
>>5695359
The reason for this is that in the Original Japanese version of Energon (Superlink) the Starscream is not the same Starscream, he's Nightscream and I believe he's a clone or a zombie.
if anyone ever wondered why Armada Galvatron became Energon Megatron and that didn't make any sense, in the original Japanese version Armada Megatron never renamed himself Galvatron and in Superlink he became Galvatron there hence the homage in design.
TLDR - Takara did things different than Hasbro had in mind and the ADR (dub) script writers were puzzled as fuck to what was happening.
>>5695389
>Takara did things different than Hasbro had in mind
It's not even Takara to blame but rather Takara's marketing branch. The Takara toy designers were wating the Omnicons to be evolved Mini-cons but marketing royally screwed that idea over.
>>5695393
>Omnicons to be evolved Mini-cons
Oh yeah I remember reading about that.
It's a shame, since that's a really cool idea.
>>5695394
Armada/Micron Legend and Energon/Superlink.
Yes
Cybertron/Galaxy Force, No....well not initially, it wasn't till like the end of the series they decided eh fuck it let's fit it in to the previous series somehow?
I mean Takara insists Car Robots is some how G1 related or that originally Animated was going to be a prequel to the live-action movies.
>>5695394
That's just for Cybertron/Galaxy Force.
>>5695389
>It's a popular rumor that the Starscream who appears in Super Link (the Japanese version of Energon) is not the original, but a clone. Popular, but entirely wrong. Although not explicitly referred to with the name "Starscream" in dialogue, he is identified as one of Megatron's former soldiers, randomly given a new name by Alpha Q, and things just roll on from there without a backward look.
>>5695385
It already happened. FunPub didn't design this head, they just used the pretool head that was already planned out.

He's criminally underappreciated.
>>5695441
There aren't that many characters who can take a beating from two moons and live to tell about it.
>>5695237
This. I really think it's the most boring out of all the CW molds. And it just looks off with the rest of the limbs. Too skinny.
I bought some Micromasters, Roadhandler and Freewheeler have some chipped paint. I haven't painted in quite a while, so how should i go fixing that?
>>5695236
Ahh, my fault. Misinterpreted your post. Yea, I'll fiddle and switch guys around here 'n there but for the most part I will keeps teams where they are.
>>5695220
The longer I lurk, the more I realize this, especially when anons such as >>5695237 are adamant about their 'copter mold dislike. While I haven't had an issue with the 'copter molds myself, stress at the HFG port for many anons seems to be a huge issue, so I can see why some people would want it switched out.

The port stress thing is easily remedied. I don't like the copter mold because of the rotor position in robot and arm modes.
>>5694640
What a fucking retard
>>5695515
A shame we couldn't just remove the rotors a-la Springer.
>>5695062
that could work, remove the wheels on the leg, that could also explain what the minicon port/peg is for (combiner leg with no team)
>>5695233
He's a solid mold despite being not muh geenwan and that he is used for customizing. I did a botch job on mine cause I was testing out some panel lining and I was trying to find a replacement as well but they're stupid expensive now so either pay $50 for AB or pay $50 for Quicksling. Still I personally am the few people who actually like AB that's why I tried making him prettier despite fucking up.
>>5695336
That just sounds like Nightbeat desu yo.
So, that game that has all the CW guys in it with models that look like exact copies of the toys, is apparently getting Predaking.
CW predaking confirmed?
>>5695513
I love this laid back ness.
>>5695558
No, shut up.
>>5695558
Copy of G1 Predaking
>>5695336
Metro Titan
>>5695512
Fine-tipped brushes and cheap acrylics.
Or sharpies.
>>5695062
I consider him a cheezy, bearded Bumblebee.
>>5695515
>The port stress thing is easily remedied
How? I got a Vortex and Blades already stressed.
>>5695558
I wish it were, but who knows. No rumormongers have said anything.
>>5694544
Up on Amazon for $17 go him while he lasts
>>5695620
....And he is gone
>>5695635
He was gone the second anon posted it, man, I tried to add 2 to my cart before it was even posted here and it wouldn't let me. Why 2? One for a friend, I'm not a scalper dick.
>>5695620
Damit i missed him... thanks for the heads up though
>>5695646
I have Amazon Prime for the free shipping and the 20% off preorders and new games(two weeks after release)
I am just wondering if I should have bought two
>>5695600
I too would like to know.
>>5695648
up again
I think you should keep an eye on it
>>5695663
I never understood the appeal of cityformers but now I understand completely after seeing that pic
they should've marketed it as BASE or even REPAIR BAY
>>5695677
...and its gone...again
I wonder how many asshats are buying 10 at a time?
>>5695701
I did that so I can sell it to dumbfucks like you in the future at a inflated value.
>>5695697
I love them but of them as a mobile F.O.B. then a city.
Also like the micromaster bases.
>>5695708
I bought mine before posting and sharing with my fellow collectors to avoid idiots like you who make collecting a chore.
>>5695726
If it ain't you it's somebody else, either way I'm getting 50$ per figure.
>>5695715
>>5695748
>>5695753
>>5695753
who is this?
>>5695764
Legion Evac from Transformers the ride.
>>5695385
Perceptor perhaps? I heard he's gonna be in Titans Return.
>>5695558
They could probably retool some TR beastformers into the Predacons if they wanted to.
We already know that there's CW engineering in some of the figures.
>>5695764
Cyberverse DOTM Evac.
>>5695715
Micromasters are the raddest shit. I'm pissed that I had to pass on several $15 complete Flat-Top sets because Canuck shipping was through the roof.
>>5695851
>Flat-Top
Flat-Top-anon? How's things? Any new pieces lately?
>>5695876
I'm not him, I'm just an aficionado of Mini- and Micro-TFs
>>5695733
>he thinks they're actually gonna sell for that much
Preorders are already going out for Aug/Sept, enjoy sitting on your stock for 5 years.
>>5695829
>Perceptor perhaps? I heard he's gonna be in Titans Return.
He's rumoured to be Leader Class.
>>5695913
Weird. What would he turn into this time to warrant being so huge? Tank thing again?
>>5695830
But no resistance IS MET at all and it gets stressed. At least mine did.
wwwww
>>5695876
Haha, that's me I guess. Should I just be a namefag? But things are good and Micromasters are still rad.
>>5695967
>>5695701
Yeah, weird that it keeps going up and down. I ordered a few from the distributor that said October. Let's start a pool on when I find out they're shorting my order.
>>5695969
Titans Return Flattop when
>>5695967
>>5695967
>Arcee liberally engages in a 69 while Victorion makes crab dinner
>also, this kills the crabformer
>>5695992
Isn't Arcee supposed to be an apron?
>>5695967
What's you make that Tigatron out of?
>>5696007
That person scratch-built it with modeling stuff and paint.
I think we all need reminding of who the best scout-class figure is, cause I fucking never see this guy mentioned when people talk about ROTF being a great line
>>5696111
Ages 3+ and Hasbro just confirmed a wide mass retail release of groove in October. Dont pay scalp prices. Everyone will get one.
>BBTS goes down in flames as canceled preorders flood in.
>>5696123
Post yfw scalpers blown the fuck out. Grooves for everyone!
>>5695979
If we got Flattop, Tidal Wave, and Broadside remold from the same basic mold, I'd buy all of them. I love aircraft carrier alt modes.
>>5696111
I LOVE Brimstone!
i dont think he came out at ROTF tho, he came out later
>>5696111
He's far from the best.
>>5696149
Really? I coulda fuckin' sworn he was one of the many ROTF scout classes, or at least 'reveal the shield', they blur into one for me anyways.
but hell yeah, He's neat, cool paintscheme, cool altmode, solid transformation, unique appearance, GOAT tier headsculpt, and one hell of a name.
Brimstone a best.
>>5696154
i think he came out in the TF 2010 line?
by the way you can mod him to thrust his crotch!
there's a small gray notch blocking his fender that you gotta sand a lil bit
>>5696111
>have that guy and his twin
>can't remember their names
>just call them Frenzy and Rumble
I mean hey, one is red and one is blue. It's pottery.
>>5696159
It's from the movie line for RotF.
>>5696123
topkek
>>5696163
doesnt seem so
http://toys.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2010/05/TF-Brimstone-Packaging_1273791_1273797976.jpg
>>5696169
That's movie line packaging.
>>5696181
But we all know thats part of the movie line which was RotF at that time.
>>5696185
this conversation has officially become dumb, and I shall take part in it no longer
>>5696181
>>5696187
It hasn't. Its part of the movie line that was RotF at the time. It's not hard to get.
>>5696196
>>5696203
I'll attempt to walk you through the conversation for a second, so bear with me.
Read the quote below please:
>>5696111
>I fucking never see this guy mentioned when people talk about ROTF being a great line
in order to explain why people dont talk about Brimstone to the anon above, i mentioned that his box didnt say ROTF on it, so people might not remember him as being part of that line, not talking about him much as a result
>>5695923
Probably because Blaster is big and he'd also can double as a base mode.
>>5696225
This conversation is not worth having anymore, neither of us is making good use of their time right now.
Let's cease this discussion, please?
>>5696231
It's okay to admit a mistake.
>Make a post about a really cool scout class I want people to appreciate more
>Get the line it came from sorta-wrong on a weird technicality
>It descends into this
I, I just wanted to show brimstone some love guys
>>5696238
It's not your fault that the guy doesn't want to admit to being wrong.
>>5696238
It's okay anon.
I almost got him at a con, but one handlebar was broken off. Bummer. He's still on my purchase list.
>>5696231
Not a mod, so fuck off.
>>5696253
He is really worth the pick-up, he might not be the most poseable scout ever but he's got a lot of weirdness to his posability that really makes it work anyways
>>5696250
why is it so important that one of us have to be wrong? we're talking about fucking children's toys here dude, not political ethics
i was just telling you my point of view, man. what is wrong with you?
>>5695558
What's with all the white/silver accents?
>>5695697
A repair bay tf playset would be kinda cool.
>>5696123
Source? I have Groove already but I'm intrigued.
