So with the CW Prime mold, you can kinda do a backpack setup on it so Prime can carry Hot Rod around in regular bot mode. It kinda works for me considering the Battle Core version takes cues from Star Convoy.

Made a quick shitty photoshop laying out what could be retooled to make an Ironhide from Rook, it would take more effort than what Off-Road > Ironhide took though so it's obvious current Hasbro wouldn't bother.
I usually despise retools but I can see where this anon >>5705589 is coming from.

Has done more extensive retools in the last 3 years than ever before. What the fuck are you talking about? We never got anything as extensive as Rook into Swindle/Hound 6 or 7 years ago. Maybe Inferno/Grapple,but even then that wasnt as much.

Okay. But we are going by what we as people are conventionally attracted to. The males have a more muscular humanoid male form. The triplets are ugly as sin by human standards.

Because female humans have a small range of beauty. Thin, pale men, ones that are altars of muscle with deep skin, and ones that are round and study are all attractive.

I just can't justify $20+ before shipping for it. Like there are some great deluxes that the price would make more sense, but he's not one of them. The colors are bland, the transformations are way too simple, and I already have a full team for the protectobots so I don't have a need for him. He will replace blades though once I get him. He will be groove and legends groove will be his nephew groovy doo.

I like all three of them. Roadbuster is probably the most plain (probably from having a non-weaponized alt mode, which still irritates me to no end that they made one of them different in each size class), but he's not bad though. Each of them are pretty fun and have loads of guns. Their NASCAR fan stereotype heads are fun too.

there's other Autorooper CW heads on there, but this one is more accurate to the original design.

I'm dissapointed that the titan master's head IS the connection port, but from the looks of it the rest of the body doesn't suffer anything.

His left hand has long nails and his right is trimmed, a few seconds after this I believe he nearly ripped a nail off when trying to pry the truck cab apart.

I this some sort of tumblr fashion trend or did he just forget they were longer than a woman's?

>>5706576
Oh no its just the name and lack of paint apps, the head is understandable since its the connector port but not the body.

It's a shame that HLJ has all of wave 1 on Order Stop.

They had them open for a bit last week, looks like they shut shop.

Depends, unless restocks happen there is a chance all available units have been reserved and takara can't send any more for whatever reason (you can't keep making the same toys forever, they need to stop and make something else before they clog shelves)

I'd highly recommend book marking the ones you want on amiami or hlj and waiting for any available slots to order, people cancel last moment, or scout madarake/ebay for ones collectors saw no value in
>>
>>5706680

I've never used ami ami or mandarake.

Not my pic but I got this set coming, still cheaper than second hand prices, waned partners for my generations galvatron PLUS it means my tr scourge can have a little army to lead.

Anything to watch out for other than being old molds/clear parts, infact would the clear parts break from normal handling or are they only used in safe spaces?

It'll be here tommorow morning

Easy to use really, amiami lets you have minimal control over packages, pretty much allowing you to mass ship stuff within the same month, but there is no shipping calculation and while their base prices are cheaper than hlj their shipping may be slightly higher, in exchange their boxes are bullet proof.

Mandarake is different as they're a second hand goods store, but since they know collectors are autistic they may list something as "packaged damaged" but it'd just be a scuff somewhere, its when they post what the damage is or when they post the bare item is when it may infact be damaged, ALMOST zero chance of stuff being a knock off though they have gotten them wrong in the past (because people make mistakes).

Again like amiami no shipping calculation (though sahara store seems to have it), another thing to mention is while its one website you're ordering from multiple stores, check carefully unless you are willing to have 5 packages of 5 different items coming in at you.

Also prices vary, hasbro toys are *usually* cheaper than takara ones except in certain cases, newer stuff gets the cheaper end of the pricing, older stuff can go insane as generations seekers at 7000yen.

But that's a near mint unopened heneki seeker
>>
>>5706652
because he got nothing else going on for him.
anyone else can have decent articulation and proportion. and most of the times kibble can make for cool silhouette and playability. also anyone can get better targetmasters separately, like the PCC or minicon ones.
there's nothing too crazy about him and there's not a lot you can do with him.
he's not even an iconic character

BBTS has the TR Legends (and the Titanmasters) up for pre-order. Snagged myself a Wheelie and Rewind before they get snapped up.

Assuming they do get snapped up. Dunno if anyone likes Wheelie, but Rewind has the whole megagay IDW thing going for him so who knows, he might get bought up. Either way, I owned both of'em in G1 so I figured I might as well be as big of a manchild as I can get and snag both.

Lets recap from a guy with both groove and rook.

>big beefy armored vehicle
>5mm ports all over
>looks manly as fuck as a robot
>makes for a decent limb due to boxiness

Whats sad is despite winners like silverbolt and the hotspot mold he's just a better all round package especially at his price point and troop building/customs.

He embodies the play pattern of the line, to mix, match and create your own giant robot

Like it or not, this nobody won our hearts.

Unlike takeoff who's just slingshot cosplaying as blastoff with body paint

I'd rather avoid using higher shipping than necessary.

Because he has an unobtrusive gimmick and a lot of playability, and was for a long time a vastly underused mold, and he still kind of is compared to the others in the CW series.

I mean, shit, look at this man. You can't do this with many other current figures.

>>
>>5706752

I don't own a figure of her sadly. I'd like to, but I can't get over the stylized nature of her. Those noseless faceless of the Prime/Current cartoon are creepy as fuck to me.

Robots with faces, or faceplates, or masks, or whatever, are alright, but something about the noseless face design hits some sort of primal fear uncanny valley shit in my mind and unnerves the hell outta me.

>>5706760
I don't disagree, someone needs to make a chug style head for her.
>>
>>5706768
Using a head from one of Vicky's limbs?
>>
>>5706768

It's a bit weird for me because it's only the Prime-styled faces that do it. It's probably because they try to make them look human, but then just erase the nose and call it a day. I mean shit, Rattrap's face doesn't bug me, but these do.

Which is a bit of a shame since I really liked the Prime stuff (haven't seen the new series though).

>I'm dissapointed that the titan master's head IS the connection port,
What on earth were you thinking it might have been? Are you stupid?

>>5706775

Not that anon, but it would've been cool if the HM connector port tabbed into the heads legs or shoulders or something. It would probably interfere with the molds a lot more though.
>>
>>5706775
I was hoping another tab was connected to the back of the head or something like that.

Yeah, kids are retards. Bonus points if he then tries to eat the head, chokes, dies, and Hasbro gets hit with a lawsuit and we never see more than the first wave of TR and Hasbro has to scramble to save themselves from all the wasted funds and pissed off stockholders.

I prefer Hasbro's way of packing the Titan Masters separately (for dirt cheap too).

It also doesn't hurt that I can just buy the molds I want instead of being forced to get one because it's packed with another.

>>5706890
I'm sure Takara will do it. They pretty much do black repaints of every Prime mold.

Not sure why Hasbro hates to do Nemesis Prime/Black Convoys, though.

>>
>>5706908
Yea, they made the voyager Nemesis Prime from the Classics Prime mold. After that, the only other Nemesis Prime we got was from the legends class Prime mold.

Takara pretty much paints every Prime mold black and calls it Black Convoy/Scourge. Why Hasbro doesn't do this is beyond me. Like you said, it's a cheap cash in and the fans will eat it up.
>>

that would be excellent if they did that.

I'll just wait till SDCC.
>>

>what would one consider G3
Probably Beast Wars/Machines. Unless you want to count Machine Wars as G3 and the Beast series as G4.
>>
>>5706913
they intended for the first universe line to be G3 but that would've sucked since it'd all be repaints. I'd say Classics to Titans Return is G3.
>>
>>5706919
Maybe the Beast era is G3 and RID2000-Unicron Trilogy is G4?
>>
>>5706913
I say g3 would theoretically be beast wars since it kick started the brand again.

I WANT to say classics/generations but the truth is its whatever line that came straight after beast wars, the chug molds will be my own personal g3
>>
>>5706890

They're probably do a Legends version of the Voyager Prime since it looks almost exactly like the old Nemesis with the big shoulder thingys on it.
>>
>>5706913

IDW. It basically is G1 except vastly expanded and actually well done for the most part, as far as comics go.

Why care about bayformers vs geewun? Bayformers has already one. Geewun style TFs are fucked mates. Haha.

>>5706913
Beast Wars was G3 (bold new direction that saved the franchise)

Beast Machines was G4 (bold new direction that almost doomed the franchise)

Car Robots was G5 (LOOK VEHICLE ROBOTS)

UT/Universe was G6

Bayverse is G7

TFA was G8

Aligned was G9

The current very toy-involved version of IDW continuity is G10
>>
>>5706912
I'd love that. But they never did bring over the arms microns from Prime, did they?

Dreamwave and older IDW are G6?

Pretty much.
>>
>>5706943
>The current very toy-involved version of IDW continuity is G10

Then I guess we're about to hit G11 because IDW is probably going to try and Marvel Universe the TF series now with GI Joe, M.A.S.K., ROM the Space Knight, Jem, and Action Man.
