Well, that's unfortunate.
Pure paladin Star Saber sounds interesting in IDWverse where most people are pragmatic at best and batshit sadist at worst.

Then we got another idealistic hero and he's treated like a meme by the writer.
I'm kinda glad that Hunter died earlier, otherwise he might've been a villain today or turn into a bitter cynic like Ironhide and Ratchet. Even Simon "tranny Arcee" Furman wanted him to become a hero!

Not sure how many people here have younger kids in their family, but I've took notice of the younger TF stuff for kids since my 2 year nephew has gotten into them. I got a big bag of old Playskool Go-bots for cheap to give him, and man, do they feel so much better than the modern Rescuebots stuff. Even the expensive releases for RB feel cheap and hollow. And they lack articulation, something even my nephew, whose still a toddler, notices.

hasbro should get the people who do the switch and Go Dinos to do their younger kid stuff. now those are well done toys. This one here is way too good for what's effectively a toddler's toy. The vehicle mode is surprisingly cool. Some of these would be cool to see as more regular TF designs.

take silverbolt from beast wars, dude was a typical quixotic swashbuckler and he was a joke character in the show, where everyone just tolerated him to a degree.
that's why he was changed into a brooding badass in beast machines, which makes him more relatable.

So there were. And most BH Optimus' windows are green, interestingly enough.
Still, would a green Optimus cause an uproar enough to make Hasbro change him back to classic colors?
Also this studio-vs-design stuff regarding Optimus is amusing, because IIRC the studio that did BW wanted to kill off Optimus in the first season back then.

The movie bringing things back to G1 basics(which people might not get since hardcore geewunner hate the movies and all, but its true. The franchise resembles G1 more now than it did in the UT era) was one of the worst things for creativity in the franchise. now Hasbro is constantly trying to maintain a status quo for designs rather than do cool new stuff like in 94-2005.

BUT...

RiD season 2's overarching plot line is about Bumblebee's and Optimus' leadership struggles. It's pretty nicely done. Recommend a watch.

Alright guys, time for some fan base modes. My TF collection is pretty much nothing at the moment but in hype for Titans Return and due to some fan bases I've seen on here, I dug up some old figures and took a swing at it myself.

The other, and imo the stronger base mode, is Cybertron Optimus. Sure he's nothing spectacular but I feel like he's more of an actual building, complete with parking bays and all. The pipes on his forearms make for some nice industrial detail too.

I just like the feel of this one way more.

I'd love if they made toys that HasTak will never do but I can understand how they would feel about investing all that money and not see much of a return.

>>5754110
He has a MAJOR design flaw. His upper body doesn't lock in place, so any time you try to move his arm, his chest is going to flip up, and it's fucking annoying.

Otherwise, he's awesome. I've bought him 3 times.

Yes. Be very careful. Most of the money I've spent on TFs has been on reacquiring ones that I have previously sold.

Also, selling Transformers is very very difficult.

Nowadays I keep a spreadsheet of my collection. I think it's helpful for making decisions.
>>

>>
>>5754490
Looks more like a weird action figure than a transformer, but I guess part of that is due to Scourge's design in general. still the big diaper crotch and oversized arm proportions. Looks like an Energon era figure.

Aside from the wide chest, I really like this figure. I'm also a sucker for the dark teal windows/visor and the black and gold color scheme.

Fuck. I'll probably cave and just get all Hasbro since it'll be cheaper and the figures don't really justify the 2x (roughly?) price tag just for a bit more paint. It's not like the UW sets where you're getting unique molds or an easy mode set of full G1 teams.
>>

Takara leader, either that or the old classic with the chunky-ass 3p armor.
>>
>>5754200

Posting MLP is a banable offense.
>>
>>5754307
"Marvel's Blank" isn't because they assume ML buyers are stupid. It's because it's either a generic name, or some other toy company is already using it.

Marvel's Falcon isn't a nobody in the eyes of the public, but the word Falcon is generic enough that it might not pass through the Legal department.

It's like how some TFs have modifiers in their names. Turbo Tracks. Protectobot Groove. Special Ops Jazz.

A lot more paint in Blurr and Scourge cases, I'm going all Hasbro on TR, except for Blurr, this is the best deluxe Blurr so far, I'll skip Scouge because I like the generations better, plus I never liked the flying shoe altmode.

one of the four versions(including UM) of the weaponizer TFPrime Prime was green.
It's not unusual for them to have a weird recolor towards the end of a mold.
You gotta remember, unlike the other TFPrime toys that got remolds for Beast Hunters, Optimus got a whole new toy.

City Commander was a set that formed a trailer for the Classics Prime truck mode and add-on armor and huge-ass gun in robot mode.

It was originally meant for the Ultra Magnus version of that mold (a boring white and blue version of Prime), but there's a repainted version if you want it for your Optimus or a KO or whatever.
>>
I can get a knock-off MP Prowl for around $40. What am I in for? Is it a good deal?
>>
>>5754568

Man, the Hasbro version could've been so good if it adhered to the G1 toy's scheme just a bit better. Was casting his parts in different fucking colors really so hard?
>>
>>5754578
And you were right: It's still fucking badass.
>>
>>5754497
Either Vicky or Takara Computron
>>
>>5754552
A head shorter of leader Megs and pretty much as tall as gen Jetfire.

>>5754562
Yeah, it was awesome for its time, but it was too chunky, limited the articulation and well i never liked the noseless face for classics.
>>
>>5754578
I'd love to see fansproject do a redux on this kit, with like, improved hands, a better gun, better storage for the base figure's guns, and a regular release of the optimus colored one. Also swappable faces.
>>
>>5754584
That is a lovely group picture.
>>
>>5754578
I always though CC was cool, but not as ultra Magnus. It lacks the heroic chest. Feels weird how spoiled we are with Magnus, now, I had to pass up an amazing new version of him(UW Leader) because I already had an awesome new version of him(MP).
>>
>>5754584
I'm just missing Blurr and Wheelie to be able to do that as well. I'm going to wait for TR Wheelie anmd look for a United Blurr.

Man, I'd jump all over Takara Magnus if only the little Powermaster dude wasn't fucking Alpha Trion. That's just the complete dumbest move they could have pulled
>>
>>5754611
ACKSHUALLY, he is closer to being a brainmaster than a powermaster.
Trion/Minimus doesn't even become an engine.
>>
>>5754611
Just ignore him, him and ambus aren't required for transformation.
>>
>>5754581
Is Hasbro Blurr molded in all one color (in the bulk of the body, obviously he has literally more than just one color overall) or is it a case where the two colors are just too similar and all look alike. I don't have one in hand to really see if there's any separation.

I had him as a kid and he was pretty decent. You more or less get what you see in any picture. He's got a nice size and weight, nice sculpt and gimmicks. Transformation is pretty straightforward (from memory). I'd say go for it if you feel you want him and the price is decent.

I'd recommend getting him for sure, beast mode looks baller and the robot mode has some decent articulation iirc. plus as with most BW era figures he has some really cool detailing, love his visored face especially

You don't really need the small guys for anything. I treat my Alpha Trion as a Micromaster, sucks if you didn't one cause HLJ had LG14 Magnus on sale for almost 50% off for a good 2 weeks.

Yep, $18. Now think about this, the fucking Blurr and Sgt Kup figures who were $7 new are now too expensive to manufacture in Hasbro's eyes to be $18 deluxes. That Target movie pack is going to be at least $150.
