Old thread is dead.
That thing you always wanted to be done in transformers has come true, but there is a huge downside. What are they?
Ex: Combiner Wars Seacons, all Aerialbots repaints

>Depthcharge and Rampage being too small compared to their CG
This might be true, but their relative scale is still perfect with the BW mainline and the G1 masterpieces. They are taller and wider than everyone they need to be taller and wider than.
>Primal scales amazingly with the generations we've recently got imo
I completely disagree. 1 inch too tall is too much. That is the difference between a deluxe and voyager, and it could even be 1.5 inches because Primal is noticeably shorter than Rhinox in many shots.
>>5764414
Yes he was. Here are heights I would be happy with.
Optimal Optimus: tallest (already exists)
Tigerhawk: 7.25 (already exists)
Depthcharge 7.25 (already exists)
Rampage: 7.25 (already exists)
Megatron: 7.25 (already exists)
TM2 Megatron: 7.25 (already exists)
TM Megatron: 7
TM Primal: 6.5 (already exists)
Rhinox: 6.5 (already exists)
TM2 Dinobot: 6.5
Dinobot: 6.5
Inferno: 6.5 (already exists)
Scorponok: 5.75 (already exists - actually ~0.5" too tall, but still he is not taller than anyone he shouldn't be taller than, and who gives a fuck about scorponok honestly?)
Primal: 5.75
Silverbolt: 5.75
Tigatron: 5.75
Terrorsaur: 5.75
TM Tarantulas: 5.5
Tarantulas 5.25 (already exists)
TM Cheetor: 5.25 (already exists)
Cheetor: 5 (already exists)
Waspinator: 5 (already exists)
TM Rattrap: 5 (already exists)
Rattrap: 5 or 4 (both already exist)
Airazor: 5 or 4 (4 already exists)
Quickstrike: 5 or 4 (4 already exists)
Blackarachnia: 5 or 4
16-18 can already be had in great relative scale, depending on how big you want Airazor and Quickstrike. 9-11 not. Of those 11, 8 could just be easy upscales with minor tweaks. In addition, you can find an in scale version of every character except Blackarachnia, Dinobot, Terrorsaur, Tigatron, and Silverbolt.

>Who do you want as the next BW MP, /tfg/?
All those dudes already have fine, in-scale representations except Dinobot and Terrorsaur, and of course I would take Dinobot, but Blackarachnia is what I really want.
>>5764437
>I'm pretty satisfied with TM Terrorsaur
TM Terrorsaur is gorgeous, yes, and hey he was technically canon for about 3 seconds!
>>5764457
Yup, they are perfect. I just think a couple need scale adjustments. TM Tarantulas from 4.5" to 5.5", and TM Megatron from 6" to 7". TM Rattrap could use a new backpack, but I don't care about that as much as I used to. .
>>5764471
He is perfect scale-wise, mold-wise, paint-wise, transformation-wise. I don't understand what >>5764473 is complaining about. He is absolutely perfect. I know because I have owned the mold. I have also owned the TM mold. It's good too, but it is waaaay too short, so I absolutely do not recommend it over the season 1 mold.

>>5764786
Oh that's right, spoilers don't work on /toy/. Oh well.
>>5764732
In 5 or 6 months when PA gets wave 1 I'll let you know.
TR is the most fun I've had with Transformers in a long time.
Hardhead was the only Deluxe I scooped up, but I reckon his only competition for 'best of wave one' is Skullcruncher.
Even without waist swivel he's great. A really solid robot.
Out of all the Titan Masters I'd say Loudmouth works best on him - though Brawn from Wave 2 will probably be better.
![[CAN'T WAKE UP].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/PZTvZxw.jpg "[CAN'T WAKE UP].jpg")
Thanks Dr. Headbeat
His Cybertank mode is also excellent. Love the articulation on the cannon.
I don't think there's been this much potential for gimmick abuse since Armada.
Tech Specs are back.
And last but by no means least, a PSA to make sure that your shiny new toys stay healthy and don't get broken.
TR figures (or at least, the one I picked up) are packaged with their head inserted as depicted on the left. This is INCORRECT. If you wedge them in like this, the connection is super tight and your Titan Master WILL get stuck.
The sockets are designed to have the Titan Master's head facing FORWARD, as shown on the right. The correct way to insert the head is to either twist the TM head around first, or insert the head backwards onto the body and twist it around afterward.
Sorry for clogging up the thread with images. As for >>5764732 Titans Return are still Made in Vietnam.
>>5764801
So how do the headmaster neck joints work? Are they ball jointed in head mode, or just a simple swivel?
>>5764801
So how do ya like Horri-Bull and Squeezeplay so far? I'm planning on getting Skytread and Clobber so seeing how their vehicles work would definitely help.
>>5764801
Ahhh I recognise you, you're the cool guy with the fun legion/legends setup, right?
>>5764822
It's a ball joint.
Saw a review for the new Wheelie last night. He looks so good.
>that beautiful headsculpt
>that crazy transformation
I'm so hyped.
>>5764823
Horri-Bull's is actually pretty simple but a really neat tank mode. The plane mode, like Nightbeat's, is a bit shit. Squeezeplay/Crashbash has the opposite problem, where the dragon mode is lacklustre but the T-Rex mode is absolutely ingenious. It uses the Titan Master's legs as the lower jaw and his arms as the stubby T-Rex arms. I'd recommend both to be honest, Titan Master packs are super fun
>>5764826
Yeah that's me. Didn't want to drag Metroplex downstairs to photograph them on him, it's my fiancée's birthday today and I've already spent too much time on this thread to be honest!
>>5764816
I like the use of symbols so they don't have to clutter it up with translations.
Do the Titan Master singles also have cards?
>>5764834
Aaah, alright, have fun! Thanks for the show and tell!
>>5764821
I discovered this when I had my fort max but they pack them in backwards?
What the fuck, someone needs an ass kicking, even fortmax and cerebros had the head connectors packed in right
>>5764821
>The sockets are designed to have the Titan Master's head facing FORWARD
I don;t think so.
The socket lock as you can see is clear on the back of the head.
>>5764862
>I don;t think so.
>The socket lock as you can see is clear on the back of the head.
Wut
The titan master's face is designed to face away from the body, or looking at the same direction as the main face is going.
You know if you're doing the connection wrong if there is resistance, if you need to force the head down you're gonna risk damaging it, and while the little head is on a balljoint you risk
>getting the titan master's head stuck
>breaking the connection due to the size
I hope his was just a one off, could be a potential issue for younger fans
>>5764585
Is Blackarachnia really this short? I thought she was just skinny Tarantulas.
>>5764840
Singles don't have tech specs, no
>>5764842
Yes, it's a 5mm port and subsequently can be wielded like a rifle
>>5764862
Buddy, I tried pulling Furos out when I first got Hardhead out of the packaging and it was so hard I thought it was going to break. I tried each Titan Master to check if it was just QC but they were all nigh-impossible to get back out. You need to have the mini head face forward or something's going to snap in the long (or probably the short) run.
I'm really pushing it now you guys so I'll be back with more pics tomorrow
>>5764867
Fort Max anon! Is it true that the Titan Master is necessary to connect Cerebros to the main body?
>>5764884
To be honest I never fully removed it from the box (thanks to the silly cable pack design which means I can't get him back in there) and just pried the head out from the packaging, not only did I lack floor space for him but I was only really curious about cerebros.
From what I saw, he can sit there just fine and you wouldn't know, but to actually connect the head would require the titan master.
At this point I'll remind that I sent back the fort max in favor of the SDCC version which works out cheaper
>>5764871
She's a little shorter. If Tarantulas is 5.25", she's probably not 4" short, but since there is a basic class Rattrap, Airazor, and Quickstrike already who are all in good relative scale with each other and the rest of the line, a basic sized Blackarachnia would be acceptable to me, but of course a small deluxe would be nicer.

No risk of getting diarrhea when I touch these toys.
Anyone living in Boston know where to buy TFs here?
>>5764576
so any Cannucks here worried about the Canada Post strike?
I'm really worried my Cheetor won't come before TFCon now. My friend is shipping via USPS which will then be regulated to Canada Post when it comes to Canada from the states.
>>5764942
Nah, instead you get agent orange.
>>5764946
There's a strike going on?
Being Canadian is suffering.
>>5764953
well not yet but on Saturday it'll begin if they don't come to an agreement.
it fucking sucks for me.
now I'm gonna have to buy another MISB Cheetor at TFCon for Ian Corlett to sign.
i still don't know what to do with Frank Welker, Masterpiece figures are out of the question. Ideally a Megatron or Soundwave figure would suffice.
>>5764944
Hey dude, Fenway resident here. The closest thing to "big box" directly in the area (near-ish the center of town) are the Targets at Fenway, Somerville and South Bay. From my experience they almost never restock so I buy most new waves online or on trips to Western MA.
For used/vintage you should hike out to Comicazi in Somerville and Toy Vault in the Emerald Square Mall. Both are worth a check out with great TF selection and tons of other toys.
>>5764952
Good thing I aint yellow.
>>5764956
Should be able to get the recent g1 Soundwave reissue fairly easily... just make sure it's not shipped via Canada post
>>5764998
>just make sure it's not shipped via Canada post
Canada Post a shit. Fuckers charge you an arm and a leg to take 2 weeks shipping a small box across canada, when the same thing can be done in the US for about $5 in a couple days.
>>5764972
>Going western MA
>Not using the acceptable Target in Braintree.
>>5764972
I went to a Target yesterday but it was empty as shit, they definitely don't restock often.
So is there nowhere in Boston itself that has a good supply of figures?
>>5764867
Other than the fact that it's oversized, I could never put my finger on what it was that bothers me so much about this face until now.
He's got a cleft lip
>>5764576
Already happened:
Modern Liokaiser, incomplete team.
but I'm also ready for disappointment with:
New Minelba, pic related.
>>5765047
Takara will probably do a new face
>>5765037
It's not the cleft, so much as the lack of any other definition on the upper lip
>>5765047
>>5765049
forgot pic
>>5764998
I was considering getting either him or a Leader Generations Megatron (Hasbro or Takara) for Mr. Welker to sign.
I might just get it at the con.
>>5765021
I have folks in the pioneer valley.
>>5765035
Not really-- not in my ~7 years here. I forgot to mention Hobby Bunker in Malden has a limited selection of TF's and they had a pile of Generations Arcees, Chromias and Windblades when they were new and hard to find. Not a ton in the way of toys there though, mostly military modeling supplies. Good luck.

It's a shame that Vicky is only available as a box set, because whilst I have no interest in combining them, and most of the components look like shit, I do quite like Pyra Magna. That said if I do buy any version of the set it'll be the UW Decepticon versions (though once again, I'm never combining them).
>>5765145
That reminds me. Aren't the titan masters choking hazards?
>>5765160
You know what I thought about doing? Getting the set, dumping the big one, and using the limbs as Sky Reign's harem.

Has there ever been a more pointless pursuit?

>>5765260
He didn't mean to upset you john-boy.
Do you think Aspergus could beat Grandee Aspergo in a 1-v-1 fight?
CW Cyclonus or Universe Cyclonus?
>>5764942
Whatever nonsense are you blathering on about?
>>5765259
Vehicle mode scale is a pointless pursuit but robot mode scale should certainly be possible. Things aren't always perfect but they really just need to be a general idea.
Like that Rhinox cap of him and Primal being the same height. More often than not though he was noticeably bigger. So making a Rhinox bigger than Primal is really all they need to do.
Of course, it is really hard nowadays considering we don't have the Basic or Ultra classes any more. Hard to make relative scale work when all we have are Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader.
>>5765255
>>5765259
But as my post shows, in the case of BW we are so close to perfect scale already that I really don't think it is too much to ask. Not only that, but if we're talking about masterpiece BW, the heights I gave make sense because not only would they be in good relative scale with the other BW line, they would be in good relative scale with the G1 masterpieces (not that I like the G1 masterpieces being so big).
>>5765280
UW Cyclonus from the Grand Galvetron set and Cyclonus from the Battle in Space set with the Maketoys upgrade parts.
>>5765284
I fucking wish they'd bring them back, Megatron and Galvatron would work best in the ultra scale.
>>5765291
Walmart doesn't want a dozen different price points for a single line on their shelves, so you only get a few size classes.
>>5765292
A few animation mistakes doesn't take away from "Dinobot is the tallest" or "Cliffjumper is shorter than Hound."
The only spurgs are the people who repeatedly post a cap of Hoist driving Huffer in a blatantly incorrect and inconsistent moment like it means anything or scour for screencaps to see one time they made Rhinox a bit smaller do he'd fit in the scene.
>>5765295
I don't care.
>>5765299
The spergs are the ones who agonize over their toys being the "correct" size while they stand next to each other on a shelf gathering dust.
>>5765292
But I am sperging about relative scale, which BW did pretty consistently. For example, Rattrap was never taller than Cheetor, even if how much shorter he was varied from same height to 3/4 his size.
I am not sperging about a precise scale.
>>5765301
Of course. The world needs to cater to your whims in spite of actual reality.
>>5765259
>as long as they changed his connector port to a standard TR one.
Hmmm... hadnt considered that, but a good idea
>>5765295
And yet they'll take five or six different sublines with varying packaging sizes for a the movies and TF shows.
>>5765267
Ain't upset in the least.
>>5765309
Pretty much.
>>5765314

>>5764576
Animated season 4 happens and is as great as you'd expect it to be, however, it doesn't get a single toy and that prototype of the megatron figure is burned along with it's steel mould being destroyed, broadcast live on tv by Hasbro
Is Blitzwing a good toy if you fix the shoulders? I know Nonnef/that Shapeways bloke released shoulder locks that supposedly work pretty well.
>>5765311
Everything fits into a predefined price point.
Movie and TV shows get more shelf space (and more price points) because they sell more units to more consumer demographics (from young kids to older collectors).
The older collector market is much smaller, so the subline(s) targeted to them get fewer price points. Currently for TFs it's 4(?).
>>5765324
Yeah, it's OK.
>>5765324
I think it might also need its head fixed. People complained about a nose cone issue. But yeah, with those two things fixed, he is perfect. It is a shame he does not fit in with masterpieces due to height.
>>5765281
A couple people in the /tfg/ are turbo-racist towards Indians, and since tf production is apparently moving to India, they are trying be edgy faggots by calling them "curryniggers" and insisting that the workers will be assembling the toys with shit/curry covered hands.
>>5765324
I hate the face gimmick, besides that hes alright, I'd recomend the Doubledealer retool tho, sexier deco and better headsculpt without the nosecone issue. Also theres a new titanmaster Blitzwing on the way.
>>5764816
>Godzilla is now a stat
Okay.
Got my hands on the Titans return deluxes. Hard head is cool, but he is quite underwhelming for me due to his terrible proportions. His legs are far too stubby, making him midget esque. I have never seen a figure that should have been a voyager more.
Skullsmasher is fucking awesome. Haven't been this impressed with a main line deluxe in a long time

>>5765500
>Do all the guys that are being released only as heads have alternate faces?
No. There's very little to no chance for the individual titanmasters to get bodies, they are just a easy-cheap way to replace lost/broken headmasters,"If you lose the head guy the toy is useless" was the main gripe with the original headmasters, the bodyless titanmasters are Hasbro answer to that.

Cannot unsee. Damn you.

Nah, that'd be all the way back with Beast Wars, where Takara was able to do more show accurate and detailed decos due to them getting the line a year later.
>>5765534
Neither.

Was that leaked? It'll probably be an Alpha Trion redeco then, and I think that lion looks like shit.
>>5765534
The darker paint on the left looks more cohesive, but the bright splashes of red on the right one does add a some visual interest. The paint outlining the solar sail things on the right looks good, but the left one is actually probably more accurate to IRL solar panelling.
Really they're so similar that you're better off just getting the cheaper one. Both of them look fine.

So how are you enjoying UW Blast Off, /toy/? I mean, you DID get UW Blast Off, right? You can't all possibly be Hasbrocucks happy with literally Slingshot in poop colors.
He looks way better with the chest intended for Strafe.
>>5765645
Oh shut up.
>>5765645
No, it's not. You fix the shoulders, the mold is fine. You can dislike the rubber head, but there really isn't any other real issues with it.
>>5765635
No, sorry. I don't get stupid jokes.
>>5765651
That looks fucking awful man. I'm getting the UW set in hopes that they fixed Brawl but he looks like garbage.
>>5765651
>Hasbro drops the ball with poop Slingshot
>"FUCKING HASBRO"
>Takara drops the ball with cheeto Fat-off
>"TAKARA WINS AGAIN"
Yes, Takaracuck, well done.
HOWEVER
>>5765675
>shit feet
>half made of soft plastic
>tank mode looks terrible
>nosecone literally won't peg in because soft plastic + spring
>head has gobbed on paint that prevents the head gimmick from working
>face sculpt looks like shit
>has a giant hypercephalic head
>ratcheted shoulders plus soft plastic torso means it's impossible for the thing to stay together
Defending this piece of shit is the mark of a true cuck
>>5765698
I don't see anything wrong with the feet, but okay. I can't remember much being made of the rubber besides the head and nosecone. Can't have been a big deal if there was more and I can't remember. I do remember having issues with the nosecone pegging though. The head on mine had zero issues, paint or otherwise. And the torso/shoulders thing isn't an issue once you fix it. Nothing pops out of place. Of course we shouldn't HAVE to fix it in the first place, but it is what it is. It's not super awesome like Springer, but it's hardly one of the worse in Classics. No where near as bad as Ironhide/Ratchet or Galvatron.
If the new TR one is good, I'll replace but the whole forcing Headmasters on guys that aren't is a big knock.
>>5765699
Hasdrones don't like using effort.
>>5765707
The shoulders and the entire base of the turret are made of soft plastic
>>5765699
Only autists get spergled over Blastoff having a big chest. Far superior Blastoff option.
>>5765716
Oh yeah, I confused soft plastic with the rubber used for the nosecone and head.
>>5765699
>pay a premium price for an inferior toy, then pay more money to make it look passable but be unable to transform
takaradrones are the stupidest niggers alive
>>5765684
Rhinox and Vector Prime share the same voice actor.
>>5765721
The head is solid plastic, only the nosecone is rubber.

>>5765725
It can still transform though.
>>5765718
Except for the fact that it doesn't look like him at all, sure.
>>5765751
>Except for the fact that it doesn't look like him at all, sure.
Looks more like the character than Mr. Jet Brown, though.
Pardon my shitty display (i just keep these guys in the workshop where I can fiddle with them), but looking over them I'm actually pretty satisified with CW. Better hands and feet came in the mail today and they really make a world of difference.
And i actually have UW Supes waiting to ship from TFSource. Then I'll switch blades back over to Defensor.
Got power master prime, base mode was lacking so I fan moded
>>5765386
Seconded
>>5765777
What other toys you got back there?
So how slut is your uw Blastoff? any other reports about it been unable to keep the legs closed?
>>5765786
The legs have untabbed a few times when fiddling with Bruticus, but it's definitely not as frustrating as the Dead End mold where just looking at it wrong will make it separate
>>5765804
>unfucking the UW proportions
or you can do the alternate transformation shown in this very thread
>>5765651
I didn't get either because they both looked like shit. I just stuck to buying a swindle and an Onslaught and left it at that.
>>5765807
That doesn't fix the arm mode
>>5765734
Order'em then from some place man. I just ordered Hardhead & Skullcruncher myself.
>>5765813
>That doesn't fix the arm mode
It's always something with TFfags, huh?
>>5765813
Or the dumb feet and garbage shuttle mode.
>>5765819
I'll still buy it If Hasbro releases it in not dumb colors.
>>5765818
>stop complaining!
>HasTak worked really hard on this!
>literally anti-standards
This is why /tfg/ is a joke to the rest of /toy/
>>5765699
>0 details
>partsforming
>backwards hand
>still cheeto orange instead of show-accurate brown
>acceptable
Pick one, Takaracuck.
>>5765822
its just toys, man.
live your life with your ass unclenched for once
>>5765777
>tfw missed out on all the CW stuff
>now too poorfag to order it online
>live in asia so difficult enough to find stores and even more difficult to complete entire combiners
Just fuck my life up senpai
>>5765821
Yeah if i could get him for american retail I might bite. Especially if i could order him with a restock of groove so I could finally ditch Blades and have an all white limb Defensor.
>>5765832
Aww, I'm sorry anon. I'd just keep an eye on the secondary market especially as TR becomes more prominent. I've seen a few people on tfw selling complete ones for about $100 And they'd probably ship to Asia for extra shipping. :/
>>5765830
Ya wanna turn that armor piercing insight towards the faggots always harping on about Takara vs Hasbro?
No?
You're a massive hypocrite?
You just publicly exposed your asshole on a tibetan lolicon forum?
>>5765843
you're so fucking full of shit, you know that?
I've been on these threads for a full year already, okay? and I've not once seen a Tibetan loli here.
>>5765847
There's a shit ton of Nepalese though.
Headmasters always confused me in US fiction.
Like, the robots are sentient, but whats the point of putting a flesh bag in armor on their heads?
>>5765841
Nice, I actually subbed in Prowl on mine since his white is closer to the rest. Also been using him and Rook as arms because I feel prowl makes too wide a leg for him and first aid too messy an arm. I always dug the thundertank look.
>>5765857
I prefer the idea of them just being weaker cybertronians that have transforming power armor. I think it's cool imagining a lesser class gaining a shitton of power and making a new slew of soldiers to fight the war.
>>5765858
Or like this.
>>5765866
Honestly, Id read the shit out of a miniseries like that.
>>5765857
Probably like a refined stable combiner sort of deal.
The experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of two individuals in perfect harmony complimenting each other...
HOW DID THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS
>>5765857
Two heads are better than one or some shit.
The japanese headmasters always made more sense until headmasters became mech suits or two robots as one.
>>5765857
idk ask these guys
>>5765880
My objection to that is the fact that you aren't combining two totally independent beings. The notion of Headmasters in the western lore is that without their Headmaster present, you just have a cybertronian that's severely crippled outside of their alt mode.
Imo it's just an unnecessary handicap to have to babysit your literal eyes and ears to prevent them from getting smashed.
>>5764801
Maaaan I'm like a inch away from just buying all the Titanmasters.
Can anyone confirm that they work on Brainstorm?
>>5765479
Does he come with the shotgun?
>>5765786
Yep, already fixed it, but it was never as annoying as Offroad.
