THIS is the MC of my fanfic?!
>>5760716
well I don't do that shit anymore, but as a kid my first transformer OC was Black Panther, who later on I found out was a real thing
>>5760721
then it became this dude
>>5760722
and then finally this guy, who I had ride around with minicon Grindor as his partner cuz he was too cool for school
at least orange and blue look good together so I had an intuitive understanding of the colour wheel
>>5760730
>Scoopsfw a toy that came out 13 years before him is a better than him
Have two new display cabinets for my beast wars collection. Put up half of my prototypes today. Hopefully this solves my spaces issues.
>>5760736
oh hey I remember you, those prototypes are rad man, do something special with them
glad you improved from that china hutch
>>5760740
Thanks, I posted a few months ago. This is my second post. I'm starting to like this community. The beast wars appreciation thread has been taken over by what I think are children.
>>5760745
well glad you've managed to find enjoyment here, I know that these threads are full of cancer 90% of the time, too many fights over this gen or that etc
>>5760736
Nice anon.
>>5760745
Any community is full of tards. Just on 4chan you get to see them in the wild, sans moderation. It's like going to one of those safari zoos.
So what do all those prototypes cost, anyway?
>>5760716
Beast Machines Buzzsaw was the main hero in my three month long Cybertron Apocalypse storyline as a kid with my cousin.
Unicron sends one of his champions to Cybertron only for Buzzsaw to find out he was his fallen friend Skydive.
>>5760754
>et tu Skydive?
glad to see someone who loves Buzzsaw, he's a fave of mine in all his forms, I got his original Waspinator, that one floppy arm and all, and his cybertron Cyclonus repaint
I just remembered as a kid I took this magnet feet that came on a spiderman toy I had and slapped them on skydive to make him hang upside down from stuff
>>5760754
The final battle between the two friends takes place on Unicrons surface with enormous battles all around as his drones attack Cybertron.
In the end he saves his friends spark and Unicron is destroyed and turned into a ring of debris around Cybertron.
>>5760753
Recently, the prices have gone up and I have noticed more people collecting prototypes now.
I only collect beast wars prototypes and I'm lucky if I can find one a month.
>>5760760
STOP
>>5760753
>Just on 4chan you get to see them in the wild, sans moderation. It's like going to one of those safari zoos.
Its why I prefer 4chains to basically any other "forum". Its pure wild west anarchy, where people can do and say what they want, with no drama and post counts. And it all somehow works because idiots get told to fuck off, and nobodys afraid to speak up about bullshit.
>>5760762
Must be hard to find that stuff these days though, right? I mean, shit, BW's been done for what, 15+ years now?
Think you'll be able to get any of the MP prototypes, or do MP proto's usually not end up outside of dev studios later on?
>>5760769
Have there ever been any masterpiece prototypes to make it into the wild?
I see prototypes come up now and then on ebay for lots of transformer stuff and I always want to get one, but then I see the prices going up to hundreds and hundreds of dollars sometimes and I just give up.
>>5760775
No idea. I don't know shit about proto's other than that they're funny colored bits of probably really fragile plastic.
I'd assume some probably slipped out at some point though, right?
>>5760769
Very hard to find. Wish I started collecting them earlier. I am happy with what I have been able to get.
For the masterpeice prototypes, I really want them, but I don't think I will be able to pick them up easily. The problem is that I don't have connections to takara/hasbro in anyway. I rely on purchasing them second hand.
Swindle is ripped!
>>5760775
There are quite a few masterpiece prototypes out there. Also many unpainted MP figures.
>>5760781
Swindle always was swole as fuck though.
>clear primal prototype
>might only be 4 in existence

>>5760769
I just noticed Cheetor has plastic whiskers. That's a real turn-off.
>>5760786
There are only 6 maximum. I have the paperwork to prove this.
>>5760787
If they're smart they'll be rubbery as fuck. If not...Well, expect a QC nightmare and broken whiskers on every eBay'd used Cheetor from now until the heat death of the universe.
>>5760787
They're not plastic. It just looks like it in that picture.
>>5760795
Like I said, better hope if they do put them there, they're made of soft, rubbery plastic so they bend but don't break.
>>5760800
Either way, it's still a bad design choice.
>>5760800
Man, the unpainted top rightmost cheetah face looks like it's high off it's ass.
>>5760806
It's odd that they give the bw prototypes several face plates that can be exchanged. I imagine several employees monitor the forums and see all the complaining about everything. This is their attempt to make everyone happy.
>>5760809
Maybe they're just trying to follow the larger trend of JPN figures in general always having a few face options? I dunno.
I'm just happy MP Munky is gonna have his closed faceplate face, because the lips-visible-through-the-faceplate thing always looked like shit to me.
Mine was this guy.
He was the leader of my good guys and a maritime swashbuckler bad ass. That All Might guy kind of reminds me of him.
His rival was Manterror, who was the adviser behind Megatron that guided him towards his own interests without him realizing it.
BW's barebones bios gave a lot of room to work with.
I need to buy both of them back some day.
>>5760716
only had skullcruncher when i was a wee lad but i lost all him when we moved
so i'm pretty stoked we're getting a modern skullcruncher

UW VICTORION CONFIRMED
>>5760869
Some people on HK-TF on facebook are speculating for them to be decepticons.
I just bought Victorion today but like Grand galvatron I might get this too, provided it has alot of blue or mixed colors
>>5760735
>no heels
>shitty gun
>hands embedded in treads

No, Scoop is still the better toy.

what did your facebook friends think, did they laugh?
>>5760870
I think it's more likely they're in shadows to hold back their reveal.
>>5760716
Here you go, guys. Here's the story for Dreadwing in my fanfic.
I'd have Inferno be the leader of a team on earth, I think the only reason why is because of his universe figure.
>>5760869
Oh shit so there is a 70% chance that they would get some sort of remold to make them look more like fembots then. Ok gonna skip the Hasbro for now and save my money in hopes that its that.
>>5760888
such cringe
>>5760897
You'll at most get kawaii-waifu art drawn by sakamoto
>>5760716
well it's pretty much Optimus who's the closest to an MC for mine, except when the Autobots and Decepticons awaken on Earth he's still Orion Pax(using his Generations toy), doesn't become Optimus Prime till the end of the first season equivalent when he finally becomes worthy of the Matrix of Leadership, not sure which Optimus figure would work best for this version though
>>5760905
>not sure which Optimus figure would work best
Cybertron OP should always be among the first choices.
>>5760769
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this transformation
>>5760913
he's definitely up there, along with the Transformers 2010 G2 Optimus, the Classics Voyager, and his Combiner Wars and Titans Returns molds
>>5760869
unf don't toy with me anon
>>5760940
Read the comic yet?
Neither have I because I don't understand it but the silhouettes match, the red eyes on some say they could be redeco'd into decepticons or they could be "hiding" who or what they are.
I just got the CW set today and I HOPE they redeco them into decepticons, if not then I could just sell off this lot.
>>5760881
I don't have friends.
>>5760948
But you got toys since you're here right?
You don't need friends
>>5760870
Really hope that's true, these would actually look badass in Decepticon colors. And then people who bought Hasbro Victorion will have a reason to go for this one too, so hey bonus or something.
When the fuck will preorders open for fort max, not paying 200 plus for gooks to get it right now, but i'll pay retail.
>>5760960
It's weird, the concept of a autobot female combiner I think is lame, but a decepticon one sounds pretty cool, don't know why.
>>5760976
Only because it could give us a busty nightbird
>>5760980
I really hope they don't try to pull a grand galvatron, new characters would be preferable.
>>5760984
I wouldn't mind, the hasbro one had a shitload of paint but takara blew that out of the ballpark and even gave 2 "new" characters, one being out of clear plastic.
From the strip, it'll 100% be a redeco, but into "new" characters with no new heads like war breakdown and rollar again or just a better paint job.
>>5760872
>landfill
>shitty
Fight me anon.
>>5760988
You don't get what I mean, this dude >>5760980
was talking about pic related being turned into nightbird, in other words, the others would probably be made to resemble old characters like with grand galvatron, I'm saying I'd rather new characters, one's that don't exist.
>>5760988
You know, I would've totally bought Grand Galvatron if only Starscream were not-clear and Armada Thrust had the proper head
>>5760994
Ah, gotcha, thought you were talking more about the molds.
But who else do the heads resemble, gonna have to be some real OC right there.
>>5760995
I got them, thurst not having the proper head is strange *but* remember these cw/uw "toys" are just homaging them, I got a feeling thrust was left open ended so he could be someone's g1 thrust but that's a theory.
Having handled all clear gundam models my ghost starscream is gonna last awhile, the bits most prone to breakage are really spongy (just a tad more so than the other uses of the mold) and the joints are encased in harder plastic.
Would be an issue stuffed in a toy box of course, no question
HEAD ON
>>5761014
How big are they compared to CW deluxes, anyway?
>>5761014
Two entirely blue guys and two mostly green guys, I thought they tried to avoid that.
>>5761016
When I had fort max (before I sent him back) he was slightly taller than rook in foot mode, so for the others I'd say roughly the same as most deluxes, its the voyagers who have gotten bigger judging from the videos from the chosen prime.
I'd recommend watching some of those as well, think one does a direct size comparison
>>5761017
Guess not, they coulda mixed up the wave a bit more but they opted to have 2 guys alot of people know and 2 of the real headmasters, if all 4 were headmaster related we could of had more color variation
>>5761016
Half an inch taller, cerebros is an inch taller
>>5761020
Sent him back, why? How much did you pay?
>>5760276
hmmm.
>>5761020
Yeah I guess it's so everyone has something they can go for, two OG guys and two movie guys, and a autobot and decepticon version of each, duality.
>>5761022
Paid $238aud, nothing was wrong with him, I had discount with the local chain (5% from $250)
But premium collectables listed up the SDCC version for $220aud, free shipping, and even with shipping there was more to it and a better package.
I never actually handled the fort max only the cerebros and he was nifty but gave me concerns with how the titan masters act as heads, namely the fact their tiny little heads being ball jointed would be easier to wreck when handled by kids, unlike regular figures which you can force back down.
Also the lack of paint disgust me seeing how the head's design can avoid paint damage to everywhere apart from the forehead of each titan master
>>5760869
Are they gonna be made into Decepticons?
>>5760952
True.
>>5761061
Maybe. What would be hilarious is if they all have the same names as their Hasbro counterparts, but different molding and colors. Like some kind of Nemesis Victorion.
>>5760869
>Ara-ara.
HNNNNNG.

Isn't there already one of those called Victorion?
Sounds like an easy way to get in trouble.
>>5760716
This guy. He was a sewage worker recruited to serve as a guide for a crack Maximal-Predacon commando team (made up of a bunch of my non-show BW and BM toys) dropped onto Cybertron to find something underground (never decided if it was Primus, the Oracle or something else) that would help the Maximal-Predacon alliance kick Megatron and his Vehicons off Cybertron.

This design is offensive. Not all women can relate to these features and it promotes an unrealistic mold to which all women should fit in.
>>5761228
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
>>5760869
I actually wanted Victorion but I'm going to hold back in case this is a Decepticon.
>>5761221
Id hit it.
>>5760716
Treadshot and Duststorm were great OC, especially since I didn't have the rest of the combiners and they had no personalities. Duststorm is a great sniper and Treadshot is ninja man
>>5760736
Huh?

>>5761255
You shouldn't hit girls though
>>5760869
>Update: TFW2005 board member Sanchimaru has brought us a translation, lending more credence to Takara’s version of Victorion being a Decepticon. It also suggests there may be only five members, as opposed to the US version’s six.

>– Oh my, my… as the emperor of destruction’s wife… I can’t ignore this.

Are we getting a fucking Esmeral as part of this?
>>5761271
Don't care I wanna hit dat
>Summary: The Titanmaster gimmick for the face creast hampered head articulation and caused the head to looked funny when turned. The mod involves just cutting the chin of the head vreast that flips open from the chest. The rest of the crest is glued to the Titanmaster Nucleon. This mod came with a sacrifice that Nucleon no longer can sit in the cockpit due to extra protrusions. However it improved the head articulation and the head does not looked recessed anymore.
>>5761289
Thoughts about this mod?
>>5761291
Barely any different to me personally but maybe the plastic grey is obscuring things for me
>>5761288
Or you could unscrew the face, glue it to the crest and store it in the chest. theres a lot of room in there.
>>5761292
Looks fine, but a 3P will hopefully just make a whole new head for him.

Simple and effective, I'll still wait for a 3rd party set.

The attached documentation show that 6 of these were originally shipped from the factory in Thailand in Aug 26 1998. There was only 4 in the case when I gained possession of it; I am assuming the other 2 were used (destroyed) in some type of QA testing.
>>5761299
This is exactly what I wanted out of the Takara set. So upset they went with the extremely ugly cartoon deco.
>>5761292
Why not just glue the head to the headpiece in a way so it can fold into the chest?
>>5761304
Takara always does a different route than hasbro, if hasbro did the green chest maybe we'd of gotten a painted silver chest from takara.
I'd of kept my hasbro bruticus if not for the damn plasticgrey
>>5761281

Now it bothers me more that the face is not crazy/angry enough desu but that's the sculpt's fault.

>>5761085
Shizuka Itou will voice her now.
>>5761317
Ya, thankfully its not mine.
>>5761292
I'm thinking that in the future, hasbro could release these mold's but without the headmaster gimmick.
>>5761288
>>5761289
>>5761292
That's looking so much better.
You could probably still fit the Titan Master in some of those smaller vehicles for storage while in vehicle mode.

It's too bad about the faux-kibble cheetah head in robot mode.
I'd have been ok with a slight reduction in accuracy if they used the real head on the chest. I really fucking hate faux kibble

3P heads won't even be that hard to make, either.
Plus they won't require you to cut up your toy

>Who the fuck cares, I've got a good looking Galvatron now.

>3P heads for the guys with shit heads
>3P bodies for the guys with heads but no bodies
Everyone wins?
Then again, they've done nothing with CW other than feet/hand addons really.
>>5761431
You could still mod it further; I really like the sculpt on the crown piece; but again, why should anyone need to fix a toy out of the box?
Dumb Takara.
>>5760716
I didn't really have an "MC" per se. My whole (albeit small) collection was constantly involved in all kind of daft misadventures. That said I did have a few prominent characters and "storylines".
>Energon Tidal Wave and Shockwave were best buddies- Tidal Wave was less dumb brute and more reserved, quiet type, whilst Shockwave was just a chummier version of his G1 self.
>Cybertron Dark Scorponok and Animated Blackarachnia were romantically involved.
>Armada Starscream was less interested in being leader of the Decepticons than just generally causing Megatron as much grief as possible.
>Energon Rapid Run and "Thrust" (actually Movie Dreadwing) were Unicron cultists...not knowing that Unicron had no interest in being worshipped or the whole "rooot Satan" thing in general and really just wanted to collect stamps.
>Animated Ratchet was a grumpy bastard whose solution to every single Autobot's medical woes was to "give their nose a quarter turn" with his spanner.
>The Minicons were all pure evil. Especially Armada Dead End, who in spite of being little more than an orbital turret for Unicron was the most unbelievably spiteful entity in existence.
>Armada Megatron and RID Megatron were constantly coming to blows over who was the "real" Megatron, with RID Megs insisting Armada Megs was called Treadbolt.
>RID Side Burn was a grizzled veteran (I knew nothing about the RID cartoon) on account of him being my first Transformer.
That being said,
>Implying I ever stopped making fanfic of my Transformers
>>5761221
>Feet made from Armada Sonars
That's cool. Makes me wish I had a Decepticon Sixwing set and the knowledge to make a Shapeways upgrade kit to convert the set into this.
>>5761443
>buh buh buh all you need to do to fix skylynx is take him apart and cut shit and and and
Yeah, I fucking hate faggots like that. A brand new toy shouldn't need fixing, and gross QC negligence like that should result in a product recall.
>>5761295
The crest limits head rotation.you can do this but galvatron will just stare straight.
>>5761291
That is annoying though. His entire head has to be put off to the side in cannon/gunship mode. Hopefully some 3P company makes a replacement headmaster that makes the built-in mask redundant and thus removable.

First thing you do when you open it is to wash it in hot water and disinfect it.
>>5761431
THANK YOU, I posted them and was curious if anyone noticed fuck all, I thought it was just the plastic grey bothering me but I guess it still remains
>>5761451
I admit I fixed my skylynx only because I had the materials on hand to fix, but you're correct.
Gen blitzwing is another shitty one, why didn't they recall that?
Even bandai was willing to recall model kits just because a crotch piece on the hg zeta plus had lost most of its surface detail
>>5761431
Nah, a coat of paint with this mod would make a decent generations Galvatron until 3P makes any IDW Galvatron.
Barbarian king, -ation era, RiD... as long as it isn't Heart of Darkness.
>>5761475
shame they didn't do IDW Galvatron's design.
not so much because i'm an IDW fan but more because it could have been a great figure unlike TR.
>>5761415
>It's too bad about the faux-kibble cheetah head in robot mode.
Why?
>>5761491
>He hates faux kibble.
But why?
In regards to UW victorion being a decepticon and why an OC over liokaiser.
The theory of it being a straight repaint makes sense, while takara are known for their lavish attention to detail paint apps would be cheaper and give them time to...
Make a (near) perfect liokaizer, what can we expect, keep in mind these are still CW/UW toys, I do expect them to still make use of the skylynx mold but perhaps modify him to be bipedal in robot mode (for liozack).
With a nifty comic explaining their new 5 man team being the result of a death of a comrad and a timely reformat with paint apps to honor his passing, if hasbro can get away with repainting blastoff why not takara?
But anyway it makes sense, pass off a cheap redeco as a decepticon since repainting an OC into a sorta-known character would gain high interest despite laziness in approach and use said funds to dump into liokaiser, which (should) be glorious
Not my theory something I saw from tf boards
>>5761496
Him and faux kibble were going steady but then she cheated on him. He's still hurt by the experience.
>>5761513
I think too many people are just getting impatient. This not-Victorion didn't take his slot or anything. If they are making Liokaizer, he will come. Either way, Takara has made every combiner Hasbro has, so it's not shocking to think Victorion would happen - and given that she came out here before Hasbro's Liokaizer, it seems reasonable that the same would happen there.
>>5761271
Okay, so assuming that is would be Esmeral, what would the remaining 4 members be? I'm assuming that there are no duplicates with the recent trio and they don't do anything funky like having the Megajet component of Overlord splitting off from Gigatank as a separate lifeform.
Lyzack seems like a decent shot if they are adding in manga characters since from same issue as Esmeral. Swift is likely too recent to be added to a combiner and she jumped ship pretty quickly and I'm not sure if Britt would be legit enough. Dimensional hopping vampire posing as a Transformer might be neat. Fracture is under extreme doubt as I don't think came out in Japan and is based on a character from a rival company and altmode wasn't one of the defeault. Strika also seems unlikely based on being more Rooklike one over existing tooling. Airachnid might work, being a Helicopter depending on how the lore of this squad is. No other ones I can think of fit in terms of altmodes.
Actually, would convention exclusive characters be a legit influence for Takara's Victorion counterpart? Nightracer, Shadow Striker would be decent fodder since standard cars.
>>5761554
Assuming no new heads, Dustup as Nightbird seems likely (unless they feel it's too soon after the Arcee remold). Swift would be cool for sure, but I agree it's unlikely.
Maybe they'd stick to the Victory Manga and make more family members? I don't really know if any more than Esmeral and Lyzack ever got names. It would be awesome if one of the copters could be lady-Deathcobra.
>>5761513
Liokaizer is probably going to be awful. They haven't actually changed any single combiner; Menasor had the same flaws as the Hasbro release. Presumably there was some internal fuckery since both Computrons were revealed at the same time.
I mean, I know people are hoping they get a version of a toy they never could, but let's be real here. Unlike with Computron we've already seen Liokaiser revealed, and the UW is just going to be that (though probably with UW Nosecone's mold replacing Drillhorn.) There has been no all new molds created for any UW release, and if they use Sky Lynx for Liozack it's going to be shit.
>>5761567
Deathmedusa?
>>5761554
Airachnid is a possibility from one of the copters. Perhaps another limb could be Scylla? As for the rest...hmm. I know there was meant to be a female 'Con (well, human serving the Decepticons/Destrons) in Masterforce called Mayumi, and Takara loves their obscure references. The Lady Deathcobra >>5761567 mentioned would be neat. Call her Murderboa?
>It ends up actually being purple and black with red highlights as an almost 1:1 palette swap
>>5761577
Still better than Icky Vicky.
>>5761571
>There has been no all new molds created for any UW release
Groove? UW Blastoff?
>>5761586
I think he means for the torsos?
>>5761591
Just because it hasn't been done yet doesn't mean it won't be done.
>>5761591
Yeah I meant for torsos.
>>5761595
Do you really think that they'd do a good job with a torso that split into two Deluxes somehow when they made Blast Off, the worst looking toy in the entire CW line?
>>5761602
Yes. Also who said it'd split into Deluxe-sized bots?
>>5761602

That's not Breakdown, or the Autobot filler waves.

Lynx will have 1 new part: Ratchet's head. Unless they're just re-using the con heads.
>>5761422
I originally picked him up because he reminded me of Canti from FLCL because of the TV face, the long head, the thin blue body, the big forearms, the giant phallic cannon when he transforms, and so on.
I was like "yo, that's totally Canti. I gotta have him in my fanfic.", so I made him a side character and straight up ripped off the stuff about Atomsk possessing Canti's body and called Atomsk Dreadwing's Essence.
Then when I expanded my story to include the Tripredacus Council and was like "Who's gonna defeat him?", Dreadwing became a good choice because he had the Primacron power and no set story, so I could turn him into Jesus/Superman and thus he got a bigger role.
Are the Stunticons fun individual toys? I have a Dragstrip and I really like him, but are the rest any good? I was planning on buying G2 Menasor and keeping the Stunticons individual, possibly giving them a bunch of extra 5mm weapons as an EXTREEEEEEEEME demolition derby crew.
>Why not combine them?
I'm the poor sod whose UW Defensor suffered from fractured ports (including from the bogstandard CW handfootguns before you ask) and I'm convinced HasTak plastic just isn't good enough for a combiner. As individual toys, maybe.
>about to order Evasion Nemesis from sirtoys
>"Sorry we do not ship to your country at this time."
Thanks Obama.
Anyone familiar with them willing to middleman it? I'm in Peru.
>>5761623
Breakdown: Probably the worst, has stability issues.
Deadend/Wildrider: Great, though I'd rather Wildrider had more remolding.
Motormaster: Fine, a cunt to get into truck mode properly, arms might be a bit loose.
>>5761636
If transfags were consistently capable of learning things I'd recommend getting Off Road and painting him in Breakdown's colors.
Think of it as a red-pilled Breakdown that got swole to fight the Quintessons he sees everywhere in the news.
>>5761643
>Breakdown that got swole
?
>>5761554
I think Swift and Airachnid could be the Helicopters twins.
>>5761636
I have heard Breakdown has issues. That said I have also heard that all uses of the mold from UW onwards have had the issues fixed. I dunno how true that is though. I did have UW Streetwise and I liked that mold so I imagine Dead End/Wildrider is much the same.
I wonder if there's any upgrades on Shapeways or something that could be used to neuter the combining gimmick whilst making the Stunticons look nicer/more fun. Like, replacing the comboners with static chest detail.
>>5761643
I'm happy with Breakdown as is.
>>5761650
I own UW breakdown which has difficulty standing up at times,people have made custom parts them on shapeways, but I think it's mostly custom heads.
>>5761650
I think what you've described is about Motormaster, the torso. The 1st run of him don't hold together well in combined mode and the hip ratchets makes it hard to balance.
Breakdown's issue was that it looked awkward in some areas, no engineering ones.
The very first 1st run of Deadend on the other hand, suffers from poor tolerances in the 5mm holes and pegs, too loose in some, too tight in others. S
>>5761662
>Breakdown's issue was that it looked awkward in some areas, no engineering ones.
I'd say the heels are a engineering one, since they don't lock, same with the hips.
>>5761464
Kenny-bot when
>>5761646
That gives me an idea for a headcanon/fanfic thing if I ever get a Prime Breakdown.
>Killed by Airachnid
>Temporarily has his body animated by Silas
>Silas then dies (also courtesy of Airachnid)
>Ends up having his soul claimed by Unicron
>Goes "fuck that shit" and goes full Doomguy, wreaking fucking havoc on Unicron's dimension, with Silas' soul as something of a "companion" trapped inside him
>Eventually, as a last resort to stop him from completely obliterating his dimension, Unicron bargains with him, and lets him back into the material world as a member of Grand Galvatronus' team in exchange for PLEASE STOP KILLING EVERYTHING
>What Unicron doesn't realize is that Breakdown (in his Voyager class body) has been fucking things up for so long and has been through so much loopy dimension-hopping bullshit that he's actually transcended time and space, and the Breakdown he's bargained with is just one version of him, and even now there's at least one Breakdown shoving Unicron's shit in all over the multiverse
TLDR: Prime Breakdown is Doomguy.
>>5761610
Ratchet's head tooling already existed and was used for this year's BotCon Custom Class.
>>5761448
>>Energon Rapid Run and "Thrust" (actually Movie Dreadwing) were Unicron cultists...not knowing that Unicron had no interest in being worshipped or the whole "rooot Satan" thing in general and really just wanted to collect stamps.
Hilarious.
>>5761715
>Landfill sucked, dude. The components were great though.
Only Wedge was any good, the other three were pretty bad to be honest.
>>5761392
>>5761769
Yellow and Red were cool. Grimlock sucked.
The MCs of my current fanfic are Shortstack and her friend Heavyset. (Armorhide and Rollbar) Two washed up combiner team rejects who managed to wedge their way into the Ruination squad due to them losing their leg members.
Shortstack has dreams of grandeur and becoming the leader of her own combiner team and Heavyset sticks around to make sure she doesn't get into too much trouble.
Basically a Crumplezone and Ransack kind of duo.
>>5761636
My motormaster had issues with using the black jack chest piece. I tried filing down the pegs a little, but it made things worse.
>>5761513
I'm guessing that he will be a heavy Silverbolt/Galvatron remold. New jet kibble, new chest and heads, etc. It's easier and would still look good. Skylynx does look rocking as a torso but they'd have to remold so much it might as well be a new figure.
>>5761636
>a cunt to get into truck mode properly
Seriously? It's not like he's ROTF Optimus.
>>5761818
All of them have that issue. But sanding the pegs on their sides a bit should've fixed it. I did that with mine, now BJ fits in snug enough. I could sand a tiny bit more, he's still not 200% secure, but he holds well enough to be stuffed on and posed.
>>5761842
>Build Boy
As much as I've heard the Japanese version of the RID anime is a million times better than the dub, the names for the characters were fucking stupid (save Gigatron, which was pretty cool). Build Boy sounds like a nickname his teammates give him to tease him.
>"Hey, Build Boy, why so...orange? Haw haw!"
And don't get me started on the gibberish names like Gelshark, Dolrailer and fucking Greejeeber. Well, Dolrailer has that cool Brave gibberish name thing going on, but the rest...guh. Unless there's something I'm missing.
well if they are doing a decepticon fembiner, I think Thunderblast would be a great addition, not sure if they'd have to do a remold or just changer her alt to a car though
honestly though I would prefer we didn't get a decepticon version, I really want to see takara take another shake at Victorion, the set is cool, but the shitty colours just wreck the whole thing
if they actually went with the colours that won the pole it might have been better, but the actual colours we got are a mess
>>5761842
Hightower was the shit man, I loved his head sculpt and his weapon storage always struck me as super cool, the way it perfectly snugged into the cockpit
yellow guy was boring but not bad exactly, and Grimlock was a mess
>>5761928
Nah, Thunderblast needs her own mold that isn't hamstrung by needing to combine.
In an ideal world we'd get a 3P figure that used the shellforming to its advantage, so you essentially had a Figuarts-tier poseable figure that did yoga to fit inside a boat shell, the shell in turn using hinges and sliding mechanisms to shrink to a manageable size for robot mode.
>>5761885
>Greejeeber
It's supposed to be Greenjeeper, but the fanboys don't think that sounds "Asian" enough I guess, so they go for the Engrish instead.
>>5761957
Right, that makes more sense. Well, a bit. Still dumb as hell but eh, what can you do.
I'll be honest, if I had the resources and didn't have to worry about Saban being the arseholes they are about copyright I'd try and get some guys together to do a fandub of Car Robots- it would be like a proper dub of the series (so no censorship, cut content or changed bits) with the only changes to the original being that it'd probably use the American names (because as cool as Baldigus is, RUINATION is just cooler).
>>5761969
>(so no censorship, cut content or changed bits)
Dude, Car Robots is literal shit. It's the most boring and unendearing "ages 10 & under" toy commercial cartoon I have ever had the displeasure of watching. RID improved upon it in every single way.
>>5761980
...Oh. Well that's a disappointment. Bugger. And the Japanese version is actually easier to find torrents of as well.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to look harder.
>>5761969
I don't think anyone would care, legally, about doing a non profit fandub of CR. Saban doesn't seem to actually own it since they sold off all their old assets to Disney and seemingly never repurchased the RiD one. Meanwhile disney has so much stuff they probably don't care or remember they own it.
>>5761928
They can use the Blast-Off mold.
>>5761986
Isn't the dub all over Youtube?
>>5761024
I MUST HAVE THIS SWORD. Where on earth did you find it?!!!

Head's not shrunk. Besides, Funpub is thankfully kill.

I wish this was the direction Takara would go with UW Victorion ie classic fembots
>>5762146
This can't be real.
>>5762146
If anything, Blackarachnia woulduse the Alpha Bravo mold to be a double homage with Prime Airachnid.
>>5762178
But this way it homages the cancelled Binaltech Blackwidow.
>>5762178
Why not both, Blacharachnia and Airachnid as spider arms?
>>5761292
>still has fuckhuge ugly grey block behind head
>still needs to partsform except it's even MORE useless outside of robot mode now
Yeah. Nah. Thank fuck Mania King exists.
>Made a UW Bruticus order through Amiami
>It got to New York, then for some reason they returned it sender since they couldn't find my address
Fuck everything, I'm not even sure what to do in this situation. I even went back and checked all my e-mails, and the address I gave was the correct one.

>>5762264
It's the only good CHUG Galvatron. People are only fapping ovee that modded TR Galvatron because they're desperate poorfags and their only other cheap option is that shite undersized Universe toy.
>>5762298
No, the purple is way off, the cannon is retarded and the fact that you can't break the curling arm unlike aoe voyager grimlock is a total waste of 100 dollars
>>5762297
Both Mania King and Titan Returns Galvatron suck monkey balls, deal with it.

Did someone swap the chest plate?

Stop , my penis can only get so hard
>>5761600
UW computron would like to talk to you
>>5762322
It's not a new torso, just a new chestplate and head for the combiner.
>>5762306
much fucking better.
The chest only needed silver paint
>>5762306
Switch out Vortex with the UW one and we'll talk.
>>5762322
L: Legit Computron
R: What Looks Like Jin/Cheetimus/F_R's half-assed attempt at Computron (except it's an official product).
>>5762326
That is the UW one.
>>5762305
Thank you, finally someone says it.
>>5762304
>the purple is way off
>>5762332
Why is Rung so sad
>>5762332
It might have the rotors of the UW but that's it. The UW version doesn't have a blue-green color for the legs, and it didn't have those purple accents all over the copter mode. Grey's also the lighter CW one.
It's CW with a customized rotor and painted arm missiles.
