Jokes on you I'm a Beast Wars fag. Fucking love the gross and brutal designs, especially when they said fuck it and started mixing animals together and strapping metal to them.

RiD is pretty good about it. Shame the Decepticons are the only beasts and there's only lime four of them.
>>
So I think I figured out why I don't like early Beast Wars designs. They just turned into regular animals. Nothing like the G1 Predacons, Monsterbots, Seacon's, nothing.

I believe I just dislike 'bots that just turn into regular ol' animals. Like here >>5747546 this guy? He's great. Big ol' mechanical croc. Looks cool, funky colors. Would be boring to me if he just turned into a regular old croc.

I think that's a widely held opinion. I don't share it, though. I like the "in disguise" aspect of TFs so I appreciate beast forms that manage to imitate realistic animals with minimal robot bits sticking out. Its also an aesthetic that is almost impossible to find outside of TFs, so it feels like something unique to the franchise.

I do like robot beasts, too, but I prefer them more sleek and less boxy, more like Zoids or Transmetals. Not really fond of the more boxy G1 beasts, like the G1 Predacons. I like the idea of them a lot, but the style leaves me cold.

I don't necessarily need full on gore/body horror, but some organic beastformers where you see the underlayers as you transform them. Like under the fur/scale layer is a muscle layer, similar to a CRYSIS Nanosuit or later MGS tech where its sort of like synthetic muscles. Then further on you see the bone structure, which is metal and may fold in relation to the transformation. seems like something Sentinel would do if they ever did Beast wars.

I wish they would have played around more with the size classes and how they combine. Like a new voyager Leobreaker an actually good arm mode. Or maybe leaders that actually take part in the gimmick. Like a Energon Wingsaber or RiD Magnus that could become a full set of limbs on their own. That would have at least helped alleviate the problem of too many torsos. Also pic related and Ruination. But the latter might still happen.

Both end up cheap since the torso's would be retools of each other, and each combiner would use one limb mold but with color changes, different heads, and weapons.

I'll start by saying I don't know any better: The only other MP I have is the 20th Anniversary Prime. But this Tracks seems like a really nice toy.

The plastic doesn't feel cheap and all the pieces fit together as they should. There aren't any issues with parts pegging together. The joints are all satisfactorily tight (none too loose).

I'm happy I got it!

Some might complain about the rubber tires, but I haven't run into problems with any of mine yet.

Is there anything more cozy than getting a good repaint of a mold you already love? I've been passing on a lot of recent MPs, so I decided to pick up Exhaust seeing as how HLJ still had him in stock. Even though I wasn't initially interested in him, he's won me over. Plus he serves to bolster my paltry Decepticon ranks. Can't wait for Loud Pedal.

Most of DOTM deluxes are pretty solid. They feel a bit mediocre compared to ROTF and HTFD but that's their charm, being simpler and more solid but not too simple.
DOTM Sky Hammer and DOTM Megatron are my favorite voyagers from that line.
The shitters of ROTF can be pinpointed by their gimmicks. Rampage is a fucking mess.
The '07 line I think is the more favored here but Jazz and Optimus are JUST wew.

I'd post photos of my movie collection but my camera is sweet potatoes.

Well, Exhaust is fucking top-tier, anon. You really can't beat him. I don't own Grimlock. A lot of people say he's amazing, and a lot say he's outdated.

They are just different tastes.
G1 is goofy and barely functional but it has more character; Movie has its own kind of character but it's not as charming though it feels more hard sci-fi.

Eh. I saw the US version in person. I wasn't that impressed. If anything I think the metallic flecks in the plastic make it look cheaper, like the kind of plastic they use in chintzy party favors or whatever. I was holding out to find one of the silver-painted comic variants, but the KOs were shit quality, and the genuine articles were stupid-expensive.

Really, if the quality of the figure is anything like the other pre-MP10 figures I've had, I'm in no rush to get it. I might wait for them to re-do it or just go turd party for one.

2007: leader deception brawl (aka tank guy)
2009: leader optimus, deluxe corvette guy and sideways, mixmaster, leader and voyager starscream , voyager megatron is okay but I just liked the design leader mega is disapointing unpess you go the extra mile to mod his right arm to actually give him an elbow

I stopped after that, voyager megs from 3 I heard was okay as was jetfire and some deluxes. Voyager bludgean was cool too. Movie 4 had a pretty trash line aside from voyager evasion optimus. I never saw the fourth movie, but honestly thought grimlock looked okay for the aesthetic, but most figures of him are a joke. The voyager is almost decent but fucked up his tail, and the leader class just... Just awful

>>5748240
Yeah him, heard heh was alright, though it was pretty shit that it was the only line that never gave megatron a leader for the line, although I DID see a fan made leader of him that literally was a sales up voyager at an event for sale.

In summation, movie 1 had an okay line with leader brawl as the golden child of the line, ROTF had some pretty god tier ones like star scream and optimus, but also some of the worst like devestator (literally the legends one was better) and most of the constructions (still mad we got Cucked out of a voyager scrapper figure). On average movie 3 had the best overall, but nothing as good as the best of ROTF, and movie 4 was just mostly a joke

A Cliffjumper from High Octane Bumblebee would've been a must buy for me and almost redeem the line since half the dinobots were pretty good (Strafe, voyager Grimlock, Scorn, Slug) and most autobots were decent anyways. It was a really short line.

They do work well with Takara's model kit series since it's more of a warrior cyberform that doesn't transform. Shame there aren't any more DMKs. I would've bought one for Lockdown.

Most of the non-gimmick Dinobots were good, specifically Scorn, but that was it. They dropped the ball similarly hard with the Jurassic World line, so I don't know who's in charge of movie toylines at Hasbro now, but they need urgent replacing.

Eh AoE wasn't that bad. Truck optimus prime was a great toy and the rest of the Autobots is similar, if not better than what we have these days.

What's bad about them was the lack of paint apps, and that platinum 5-pack solves that with takara-tier paint.

The shitty things about AoE was the decepticons, galvatron was a shellformer and lockdown is hollow, and the large number of gimmick toys.

Okayish, the ton of guns would've saved it if it wasn't a passable mold.

>Crosshairs
debatable, but shame he doesn't come with two SMGs. Apparently the Jihaxus SMGs would work great as a substitute but he's more or less a bit stiff and lacked a great amount of paint apps in his original.

>Drift
Surprised by how good it was. Probably the best of the four robot deluxes.

>Bee
eehh

>Lockdown
Despite being a retouched mold of Roadbuster, it could've been alright if it had more care put into it. The small head was another problem besides the even shorter legs. Seen a couple of modifications for it using the Kreo helmet and that legobloks thing for limbs.

You know, I'd love to see Toxitron get some more development, and a (non-con exclusive) toy. I'd love to see him portrayed as a Decepticon equivalent of a Nurgle plague marine, acting as a walking/rolling vessel for every disease known to Transformerkind, armed with a cosmic rust scythe and a gold plastic syndrome raygun. Either they could just have him as a retool of an Optimus Prime (preferably one with a tanker trailer) or have him be a completely new mold that turns into a tank- a "Septic Tank" if you will.

I have the original Armada version. Aside from one of his knee ratchets, which has given up the ghost (I blame my child self's hamhands and the toy's sheer age) he's pretty great. All he's missing is thigh swivels. He's a fair bit bigger than a CW combiner, though much smaller than Gen Metroplex. He's very dense and heavy. His robot mode is basically perfect and his planet mode, whilst not 100%, is a lot of fun for what is essentially an imperfect ball.

He's decent, but unless the paint deco is godly (and with Platinum, it's a total crapshoot) I'd say just try to track down one of the older ones.

He's a pretty good toy with some decent gimmicks. Alt mode is a bit of a clusterfuck. I like mine, but he's flawed. Big, fun, chunky, but flawed. Kind of like myself.

As for size, he's bigger than a CW combiner, but nto as big as CW Devastator (although I've not had both in one place at the same time).

I heard that FOC Bruticus was trash, and this was made even worse with such better combiners coming out recently.

The components are supposed to be pretty small and hollow cuz FOC was the time the designers had to first work with new budget constraints, leading to tons of undersized hollow stuff. Not to mention Onslaught is the same size of the limbs!

I own the G2 version and he is garbage. Onslaught sucks as a Torso, Robot, and vehicle. The limbs hav integrated hands and feet, which means they look like shit. His proportions are awful and fanmoding him barely solves any problems.

The only good parts of the set are vortex and Brawl, if only for the cool blades and unreasonably cool revolver.

That said, he's dirt cheap without a 3rd add-on, so he's worth the $10 plus shipping he goes for.
>>
>>5748835
Yeah, that sounds about right. Also looking at the wiki I do see they did give him some backstory...albeit as a "Decepticon GONE GOOD LOLOLOLOL!". I dunno, I mainly just want a Toxitron that isn't an overpriced con exclusive.

I'd actually love a whole "plague/toxic" Decepticon subgroup (not necessarily a combiner either), and if I were better at customizing I'd do it. I'd make Oil Slick (unaltered Animated toy), Toxitron (made from that platinum edition YOTG Optimus Prime, maybe?), "Septicon" drones who transform into plague-themed rat-rods (made from various cheap carformers), an insecticide/posion spreading crop duster called Blight (made from ROTF Ransack), a chemical missile launcher called Dirtybomb (made from Cybertron Defence Red Alert) and if I was feeling REALLY ambitious, a heavy conversion/repaint of TR Fort Max or Generations Metroplex into "Pestilus Maximus" (though the only conversions would be purely cosmetic, and most of it would be sculptwork done to make him look gribbly and crusty, along with the painting of said sculptwork).

I dunno. I'm an ambitious idiot.
