So, if I handled this bot without an knowledge of who produced it, TFC would be the last company I guessed.

Alt mode is really cool. I was sure it was going going to have balance issue, but its actually very stable.
>>5765722
The articulated tail is awesome.
>>5765723
I wish the combiner hand could spread its fingers, but I like that its coming out of the fish's mouth. Very metal.
Also, the dedicated elbow is very nice.
Also, he gets a lot more than the one click out of his ab joint that some reviewers have been claiming.
>>5765811
If that's true that's a decent reason. I didn't keep up with whatever was happening because it didn't concern me.

>>5765720
Honestly I think they look nice. They're much cleaner shapes than the PE ones, barring the 3D print texture.

Hands are wrong, screws aren't supposed to be showing, kinda mad because my right hand was loose as fuck because the screw hole wasn't holding the screw tightly so I just trashed the hands and kept the feet

It looks neat enough I suppose, but yeah when the official one's around there really isn't a contest.

I mean name one good thing they've made recently.
Their business is in the toilet and they're a barely scraping by shell of a company.
>>5766013
Eh they've made their mark.
I still find their Steelcore and Assaulter in high regards in terms of third party.
Should I go for Hexatron since it's on sale at BBTS or finally start Feral Rex by getting one of his components?
>>5766045
Hexatron
>>5766035
>Steelcore and Assaulter
That was a while ago now though. Have they even finished their dinoking?
>>5766051
that was MMC
>>5765720
How did they get the legs like that? Isn't that just PE's torso addon?
>>5766045

>>5766055
This just proves they need to die already.
I want to get a third party Devastator. What would you guys say is the best one?
>>5766066

However, I am still waiting for a better one. Currently own a TFC Hercules I bought on the cheap.
>>5765609
No problem Anon. Thats why I always say to check reviews ahead of time.
Damn, that was fast.
>>5766085
Please get back to IDW Magnus and bomber Megatron, Toy World.
>>5766045
Get Hexatron, then start building the FR.
>>5766085
To be fair all they needed to do was just put yellow plastic in the molds. The purples the same, isn't it?
>>5766107
Most likely. Honestly I'm glad they're doing it so soon so people who waited have more options.
>>5766060
How good is clonedroid?
I'm trying to make some movie toys better, I'm looking for an upgrade kit for voyager class blackout. Does such a thing exist? I have a kit for ROTF megatron coming and one for voyager class ratchet.
>>5766114
Just get the real Hexatron since their prices are so close together with the sale. Not worth missing out on the real thing.
>>5766075
Ho boy, those are sexy. I don't know if I can wait.
Although I do want the dino combiner from Victory and Liokaiser..

>>5766130
Nothing for Blackout, but I think I heard that one of the companies making the improved AoE KOs has a leader Blackout planned.
>>5766169
Woahhh thank god. Got a source for that? But man it sucks here is nothing for blackout.
>>5766189
I'm afraid my only source was an anon or two in one of these threads.
That said, in the last thread (or maybe 2 threads back) we did see early CAD for a leader Bonecrusher. So the movies are slowly getting the love from China (I imagine the movies are probably a lot of Chinese fans first encounter with the brand).
>>5766205
Got a pic of said bone crusher?
>>5766253
Sorry bro, seems the thread isn't in the archive.
I did find this story about a non-Transforming leader DOTM Shockwave. As he never transformed in the movies, I'm up for it.
http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/06/24/dream-factory-dark-moon-shockwave-prototype-images-317785
>>5766205
>(I imagine the movies are probably a lot of Chinese fans first encounter with the brand).
That is simply not true. A large portion of the popularity of TFs in the PRC (and in the rest of East Asia) is fueled by their popularity and the nostalgia from the 80s. Of course the dynamics for each population is different, but I think it's telling given their nostalgia is grounded much more in g1 (which apparently Hasbro offloaded there free of charge during the 80s) than in later incarnations like RID, BW, Prime or UT.
>>5766271
Thanks for sharing. I honestly had no idea if the older shows ever made it there in the 80s/90s. I naturally knew China has a love for G1 as so much third party stuff is G1, but didn't really know how common it was at large.
Either way, I'm sure the movies brought in a lot of folks too (even if it's far from the majority), it's brought in plenty of Western fans too.
I just got Planet X Summanus, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the screwhole covers are supposed to be used. There's a fair amount of visible screw holes, but they only give you 10 and they only color match the dark grey plastic used for the thighs and head. Am i missing something?
>>5766450
I remember it being a bit of a job to figure them all out. Some might be spares though. I also remember them being a bit brutal to install. IIRC, most of them are in what becomes the robot legs, including the dino mode's front legs.
>>5766459
Thanks, i figured the spaces on the inner thighs were a dead giveaway for them, so i'll probably only use those two

That's accurate as fuck except for the cannons having to flip down in the back. And by Perfect effect no less. Did that super stylized look go out the window after Leo Convoy? It's a given that it will be painted incredibly fucking well but will they have fixed their paint flake and completely shitty tolerances? They need to crank out something Warden tier and like the bullshit of Leonidas.
I would not say no to a fully accurate transmetal line if that were the case.

It looks slightly more like don Figueroa's take on it than the show model, not that I mind. The CGI model was toy accurate to a fault, and the proportions weren't that dynamic.

I'm going to need to see how those cannons work before I seriously consider this.
>>5766066
If you're looking for the most accurate Dev, go with the official UW one.
If you're just looking for a Dev thats big and expensive and impressive, the Generation Toy or Toyworld are decent.
I heard fansproject own multiple brands/company, is it true?
>>5767634
Its more that Fansproject and Maketoys are sister companies. Cause they use the same factories and the main designer from Maketoys used to beon Fansproject
>>5767289
While that soudns great, I think I would prefer to have a toy of the creepy as fuck yandare Tarantulas.
>>5767708
They're hardly the only one. Robotkingdom is run by the same people that own Perfect Effect, Planet X, KFC, X-Transbots, etc. Planetsteelexpress meanwhile is owned by MMC, who also works with/owns Mechideas and Voodoo Toys.
This is also why neither site sells the stuff from the companies they don't own. There is this big feud going on that probably is also the reason why so much of MMC's stuff got knocked off.
>>5766992
The sprue kits you get to make hands and feet for cw combiners. Feet worked fine but one of the hands just fell apart and wouldn't tighten even with different screws.

>>5767994
>I bet peaugh or vange1us or someone with pulls will get the all-clear raffle one.
I'd say it's more likely they're given it before the contest to review or something like that and then a real winner is chosen.
Man, I was expecting good things out of commotus, but this guy is next level. Maybe not 85 bucks of next level, but slick as hell none the less. I'm considering double dipping on spartan next check, as crazy as that feels.
Am I just being dumb though, or are his shoulder pads kind of wonky? I keep trying to rotate his arms forwards and backwards, but if they're extended sideways even a little, a ton of stuff starts colliding.
>>5766926
>>5766928
BOUGHT. SO FUCKING BOUGHT. HOLY SHIT MY DICK.
>>5768039
You aren't crazy it's a problem with that version of the mold. Spartan is much better in that regard.
>>5768039
I also got the PE bruticus hands/feet in, and they're pretty disappointing. I mainly got them for the feet, but the balljoints are loose, there isn't enough forward tilt to use them in a proper walking pose, and they don't really peg into the limbs well. Half the time I pick him up one of them stays on the table.
It's nuts that they're the only game in town when so many people are sitting on multiple combiner teams and the stock feet are so useless. You'd think it'd be like selling icewater to people in a desert. How the hell are there a dozen companies playing dinobot bingo, but the only options for proper combiner feet are $35 kits that barely work, and a guy selling stuff that I'm still not convinced actually exists?
>>5768079
OK, you just sold me on him.
Anyone following this?
>>5768181
Somethings fucked with your version of the PE stuff then. Mine have been universally great, and I own a pair for all of my combiners.
I'd suggest returning them for a new set, or a refund if you really don't like'em.

I don't even mind if it is a complete retread of the ROTF voyager, it looks fucking great. For a first figure effort they've knocked it out of the park. I think the alt mode actually has working treads too despite how they break up for the robot mode.
>>5769030
Scratch that I should have looked at the image I posted. The treads hang like they should but are attached at the front and back to plastic that obviously doesn't move. Oh well. Fooled me at at a glance.
Is ToyWorld Skullcruncher any good? I'm kinda disappointed by how the official one looks and the FP one I've heard is awful.

If this thing is even remotely quality QC wise I'll fucking snatch it in a heartbeat.
Ashura Knights STILL don't have a concrete release date, all the sights have just pushed it back to Q3.
What the fuck, there are video reviews of the set out there already, what's the hold up?
They've got an assload of releases backed up and slated for "july" by what most sites say. The least they could do is give some more info on what they expect the order of release to be. I want to be able to have SOME kind of plan on what to buy first.
>>5769195
the head is probably different to avoid infringment.
While it's tank mode shares a lot of similarities, the robot mode actually does not. First is the different hands, feet, and head, but if you look closer, the entire lower legs have been completely re-engineered, and the shoulder pieces are extremely different, just borrowing the hanging tread gimmick.
The torso also doesn't appear to really make a face either (but perhaps paint will change that) annd of course the forarms are radically different.
To me, this is more of a G1 reinvisioning of a non-pretender Bludgeon.
>>5769284
I honestly wouldn't mind if they pushed them back and released the upcoming Optimus first. Same with the other P6 guy.
I just want that fucking Optimus.
>>5769146
It's pretty solid. I like it a lot. The beast head isn't really crocodilian so much though. Well, maybe ancient, like Postosuchus. Imho, it beats out FP and Hasbro.
>bought a Cynicus off eBay yesterday
>bought a Anarchus off BBTS
Shit. My wallet. Heres hoping the Cynicus gets shipped out today.
>>5769023
I doubt I'll get this but it does look great, hopefully it comes with some swappable face pieces. I've always wanted a 3P to tackle this version of Bludgeon.
>>5766926
I was excited until I saw the PE logo, here's hoping that this will be their first figure with a decent altmode.
>>5769287
>the head is probably different to avoid infringment
You're reaching, brother. Kultur's head is straight-up the Decepticon logo, which I think rules it out any concerns of infringement
I think the only company Hasbro shut down is Justitoys, cause they were literally knocking off official molds

>>5769294
Eh, I'm full up on optimus figures for a while. I don't mind waiting for that one, especially since we haven't even seen a finished version of him like we have for the dinobots for fucking weeks now.
I've been itching for good DInobot figures for years though, and most other 3rd party stuff is just too much of an investment in money and shelf-space.
Besides, these are TECHNICALLY EX6-11 of their series right? I really just want these thing sto be fucking done already.
>>5769434
Why the Asterisk version?
And those are all great buys, good choice Anon.
>>5769545
>I've been itching for good DInobot figures for years though
My problem is they're terrible Dinobot figures, because they're Dynobot figures.
>>5769434
Off topic: how do you like using Paypal credit? Thinking of trying it out but still on the fence.
On topic: what's the consensus on TFC NotLiokaiser?
>>5769553
I like the colors.
>>5769560
I really like it for bigger purchases. The whole 6 months no interest or required payments on purchases over $100 is really nice for shit like this, letting me save up and pay at my leisure. I always get it paid off before the six months so there's no real reason not to use it.
>>5769560
>On topic: what's the consensus on TFC NotLiokaiser?
Wait until it's out and the full set can be reviewed fully.
Like any combiner, or 3P product.
tl;dr WAIT FOR REVIEWS. Always. Otherwise you could end up with this.
jesus these pictures man, between this and Optimal Optimus my body was not ready
>>5769588
dat knee bend
>>5769595

wonder if the leftovers have a purpose, like a shield or turret or something
>>5769555
Oh fuck you, you know what I meant.
>>5769605
doesnt seem like he has a waist swivel, unfortunate
Speaking of Iron factory, I recently got the Datsun Bro set and I love it, but now I want some IF decepticons to balance them out.
Should I get their Blitzwing, or hold out for the black shadow?
>>5769605
look at the fucking size of him, unf.
might be a bit odd to put in your shelf though, style is way off for MP, and the size is a bit much for classics
>>5769588
>>5769595
>>5769601
>>5769605
So is this company making this any good, or is this gonna be a total crapshoot until the reviews are out?
>>5769610
>>5769610
Awww sheeeeeiiit. I was really hoping this would be a Voyager. That said I hate to think how fiddly he'd be if he were smaller, and if I had an MP collection I'd be all over it.
>>5769608
yeah none of the pics show it turning it at all, looks like he gets around his armour well though
>>5769614
as far as I know this is their first effort, so I really hope it'll work out
>>5769618
Bludgeon is supposed to be pretty big anyway, isn't he? Usually around Jetfire's size, and Jetfire's pretty damn big.
>>5769622
just noticed his feet are detailed to look like samurai sandals, fucking class
also turning turret incase anyone was worried
>>5769624
wow is he that big? I didn't realize, I was gonna just roll with it since a tank is big anyway, but that's even better
>>5769610
I like my Bludgeon being Leader sized. He was a Decepticon commander in the comics after all.
>>5769624
Is he? Never read the Marvel comics, so I can't really comment. I dunno, I don't like the idea of him being bigger than Megatron somehow (who IMO should be a Voyager). Still looks boss though.
>>5769635
In Marvel he was Optimus/Megatron sized. In IDW he's a monster.
>>5769622
DNA made a Devy upgrade that seems pretty good quality and the best looking visually.
>>5769643
that's good to hear, I really want this to be as awesome as it looks and not be an omnigonix situation
>>5768388
Still need a maker to mass produce the WST Transformers to fit in the citybots.
>>5769663
I'm still waiting for someone reliable to downsize KO UW Devy to make him fit in with the other CW/UW Combiners.
>>5769560
I think Liokaizer is pretty amazing. The individuals are all really fun, and the only one to suffer for the combined mode I feel is Jaruga. there's a bit of an issue of Hellbat's cockpit being a bit floppy in combined mode, but it's pretty minor.
>>5769580
I normally agree, but we have 4/6 of them out, and the remaining two are heavy remold, so I think we can access him pretty fairly now.
>>5769609
Blizzard has good looking Robot and Tank modes, but that plane mode is a disgrace, I say wait for Black Shadow if you're only going to buy one.
>>5769665
get tfc hercules w/ rage - you can get it for like 150-200 on ebay shipped. It's old but it works
>>5768388
How big is this, anyway? The original was over 40 cm already.
>>5769624
>Bludgeon is supposed to be pretty big anyway, isn't he?
No.
At least not originally.
His IDW Pretender form - which looks nothing like this - is big (although not as big as Thunderwing).
Whatever happened to G.O.D.-01, anyway?
After the TR release I was left wanting super bad. Like they seemed like they'd be fun but they were kinda rubbish and boring. How is 3rd Party fairing when it comes to headmasters/powermasters or generally fun toys? I feel dirty even considering 3rd Party
>>5766265

FFFFFFFFFFF
>>5769915

>>5769915
FansProject Code, UUUU, and Smartrobin are really nice. And a lot of people are offloading them with those same characters getting TR figures.

bruh there's at least a bone crusher in the works
>>5770025
>the first all-original third party movie toy is Bonecrusher
I'm honestly fucking pleased. For once its not Optimus, or Bumblebee or those other characters the Chinese adore.
anyone notice that the movies always have characters that show up in the trailers alot, but then get only a few minutes of screentime?:
Movie 1: Bonecrusher
Movie 2: The Fallen/Devastator
Movie 3: Shockwave
Movie 4: Dinobots
These movies are made with a formula, and it's working
>>5770025
Who is making this?
Does it transform?
>>5770041
TF Dream Factory
and yes!
>>5770061
Is this their first product?
>>5769973
They look pretty okay. It's a shame there's not any 3p powermasters though
>>5770090

>>5769304
>past 10
>check eBay
>Cynicus didn't ship today or yesterday
Shit. Hopefully the guy sends it out Monday.
3P Fucking WHEN
>>5770101
Hopefully. Small guys who combine with bigger guys have still not been ruined for me. I got my first normal combiner during Combiner Wars and it thoroughly put me off them.
>>5770125
Also, would they give him toy colors (purple and green), or the anime colors (grey and purple)?
>>5770090
Closest thing you're going to get is Fansproject's soleron core guys who consist of Steel Core, Not Roadbuster, the donutsteel twins, and their Dia Battles/Atlas guys.
You'll probably only find a lose twin with just his guns for cheap.
>>5770150
Ah and FP take eons to release new stuff so I'd rather not get into their stuff.
>>5770139
probably anime colors first, as there's no accurate version of it. but they have to do toy colors as well
So how is Quakeblast, 3PG?
Been looking to maybe snag one, but is he worth it? Or is Quakewave better, though he's like 2x the price.
What happened to that 3rd party skram i saw a while back, they making lazer cycles or cyber jets?
>>5770186
FP announced the four Axelerators last year at TFCon and we've heard nothing since. I'm hoping to see protos this year.
>>5770168
Quakeblast is good. His arm canon can be a bit frail but otherwise he's great.
>>5770231
Yeah, watched a peaguh(whatever the fuck his name is) and he actually hamhanded the fucking thing right off in the first minute of the review.
Think he's worth the $85-ish Freedomerica Eaglebux?
>>5770247
oh jesus you weren't kidding
>>5770247
He's more than worth it. Just don't be a hamhands with him on the canon and he'll be great.
>>5770247
Yeah, he's more than worth it. Chunky, hefty and a great toy.
>>5770283
The weak arm canon bit, his finger joints can use a little tightening and you need to squeeze the ends of the rubber cable before putting them in so they expand and fill out the hole and stay in.
>>5770127
I wish we got more bots like Star Saber: little robot forms chest and head of transforming accessory, basically a hole line of Daigunder, but with tfs.

I'd love a 3P Goldran, though.
What is the one third party toy you'd want to see? Any size, any budget, any company.
(single characters only, but ***master partners are allowed).
I'd want a appropriately-scales Deathsaurus to go with MP Star Saber and TFC Liokaiser.
>>5770581
A Voyager to Leader-ish sized, G1 style Megatron, that does not have a pure shit or overly complex transformation, and no other major faults such as extremely fragile bits involved in said transformation or bot mode.
>>5770610
you might get that soon. Maketoys' Cross Dimension Optimus is around Voyager size, and there's a Megatron coming out as well
>>5770581
In no particular order:
A not-garbage IDW megatron of MP scale.
A voyager sized or larger bayformer movie megatron that turned into that bitching space jet.
An MP sized scourge that's not made by KFC.
>>5770371
Oh yeah, stuff like Star Saber is cool.
>>5770581
A good 3rd Party Drag Strip. I love the design. (he was also my first transformers toy). I'd also like to see more gimmicky stuff like breastmasters/powermasters/brainmasters/whatever or for Fansproject to have a real release schedule
>>5770581
A good IDW Megatron
The Horrorcons, especially Snapdragon
Any kind of powermaster, God Ginrai and Darkwing/Dreadwing
The Zone baseformers
>>5770581
A good IDW Megatron, the unproduced TFA Megatron triplechanger that ended up having its prototype destroyed because Hasbro cares jack all about TFA, Transmetal Megatron (there's a pattern here.....), a good figure of the AOE Optimus, and a MTMTE Rodimus.
I also wish that SG repaints were a thing, I wouldn't mind picking up an SG Optimus.
>>5770610
Megatron's alt mode means his transformation is always going to be a complex pain in the ass. There's just no way to make a handgun into a Megatron shaped robot with any kind of ease
>>5770842
>because Hasbro cares jack all about TFA
Hasbro cares a fuckton about TFA. It was cartoon network who cancelled it
>>5770581
A good Cybertron Thunderblast that used the shellforming to its advantage, with the vehicle mode "shell" folding up a bit more than on the original toy, whilst the main body, whose transformation could essentially consist of curling up inside the boat shell, would be Figuarts-level articulated.
[nospoilerson/toy/]Also a removable top.[/stillnospoilers]
>>5771007
Why the fuck does anyone care about her, shes a cringy character with so much kibble its embaressing, im not even sure tgey could ever remedy that without completely fucking over her body.
I wish we could get more new unknown fembots like the MMC Azalias except with better altmodes.
>>5770853
DX9 did it on a fucking Legends sized Megatron. Apolloyon and MP-5 are travesties that should've never happened, in terms of fragility/transformation.
>>5771091
Because idiots are only controlled by their dicks
>>5771007
Or maybe do one that looks like her, but isn't a shitty waifu figure with a ton of kibble shell hanging off it?
>>5771007
Sounds good. Real or Cybertron boat design?
>>5771144
That too. Not sure how they'd do that given that a large part of her design is the large amount of kibble. Unless they had some of the boat folding around the shins, some forming shoulder pads and the rest folding up into a more compact "cloak" I dunno.
>>5771144
>but isn't a shitty waifu figure
We need waifu figures. No, really. It's something that hasn't really been done in TF's before. Everything has always been about nailing a decent transformation/look/robot mode, and we haven't gotten any sexy robot girls or waifubots.
I'd put out that bank if we could get a Daibadi Polynian/MoMo/Figma-esque quality robot waifu that also pulled off a good transformation. Bonus points if it was lewd as fuck too, and loaded with accessories like removeable titty plates, swappable chest sizes, crotch plates, robo dicks, crotch plates with bulges, faceplates with different expressions, etc.
>>5771247
You are why everyone thinks tf collectors are lonely basement dwelling /v/irgins. Try and dial back that desperation, youre making us all look bad.
>>5771266
I'm sorry you're so insecure with yourself that you can't own a lewd figure or two or want something outside the norm of TF figures.
>>5771270
>that projecting
Dont get all defensive because I called you out for acting like a pathetic 8 year old who just discovered titties. And if you need lewd figures this bad I think you have bigger problems you shoukd be worrying about, I wouldnt gave thought that at first but then you sperged hard when someone disagreed with you.
>>5771247
>how to ruin transformers.
>>5771283
Pot meet kettle
>>5771270
just go buy a drossel and hotglue her and get it out of your system?
>>5771283
I'm sorry someone wanting a relatively unique figure in the sea of NotDinobots and the 27th NotDevastator offends you so much. Maybe you should go cry about it on your blog?
>>5771289
Walky cant type this well without crying about how hes being triggered every few sentences.
>>5771266
>not wanting a lewd windblade, strongarm, slipstream, arcee, or nurse
>>5771288
Is that all it would take?
>>5771297
I love this guy's art. I'd buy non-transforming figures based on his drawings.
Fuck, I'd buy STATUES based on his drawings.
>>5771296
>not just buying something you can actually fuck
Pleb.
>>5771301
Imagine if someone did actual 3P's based on his drawings that could also transform.
But guess we can't have that because of whining autists.

Anyone with Quantron and some CW combiners that can post a pic with them together? Combined and a limb-bot from each?
I was planning on getting UW Computron with the PE hands&feet and head&chestplate sets (I prefer yellow visor), but with Quantron being on sale, I'm tempted to go with that instead, it seems like it would be more fun and a better product overall for not too much more money
>>5771366
>>5771366
UW Computron isn't out so you're not going to get any comparisons of the two beyond photo's being compared to each other. But all of the combiners with PE stuff are around a foot tall.
Also, Quantron's kind of meh at best, save your cash for the UW Computron and then use the money saved on buying that to put towards a better 3P combiner later.
>>5771366
I don't get why there's so many combiners in the 3P world. I got my first combiner with CW (Galvatronus with random limbs) and it was the most disappointing thing ever. I'm thoroughly convinced it'd take a miracle to make a not shit combiner.
>>5771561
Originally, third parties were the only people making combiners at all. Hercules was a big deal at the time. Now, it's a different market since CW happened. Which is why a lot of third party stuff has shifted to Masterpiece.
>>5771598
Are the 3P combiners any good compared to CW? I mean it's a low bar to pass but I'm not seeing it happening.
>>5771616
>Are the 3P combiners any good compared to CW?
Do you want simple and cheap with hallow parts and limited articulation, or complex with a high level or detail and expensive?
>>5771620
I want what a combiner should be: Something big, heavy and badass. Not some shitty weak limbed floppy as fuck barely fitting together POS
>>5771616
Third party combiners have a pretty big spectrum. You've got everything from overengineered frustrations, to excessive partsformers, to simple and fun, to really clever - and everything in between.
>>5771627
If those are your criteria, I think you'll like many of them. Feral Rex, Ordin, Hades in particular maybe.
>>5771366
Of you give me some time an get pictures next to the aerialbots. Also if you pick up quantron also pick up the shadow Fisher kit to replace the backpack latch. It makes him so much better looking when you have the BFB in his hands.
He was also on sale for $250 when I got him and a fucking of TFsource points when they moved away from there shit rewards system so I don't have many regrets.
>>5771631
Oh neat. Hades looks like Liokaiser.
>>5771690
Because he should be Liokaser
>>5771247
Christ anon, that's some pathetic shit right there.
>>5771748
Stop, we don't care.
Anyone own Apolloyon? How is he? What are those transformation stalks made out of on him, that shit looks retardedly fragile.
>>5771637
Yeah that would be great, and thanks for the tips/feedback, Quantron just looks like he would be more fun than the Hasbro/Takara version coming out. Even if he didn't combine, the individual bots look a lot more interesting than CW remold version 4
>>5771247
... Which would make for absolutely terrible Transformers toys.
>>5771247
I was about to agree with you that I'd like some nice, attractive femme bots but then you fucking kept going and I had to just let you rid off into the sunset on your own.
>>5771910
Wanting cute fembots is one thing but wanting ones with swappable genitals takes a special kind of autist.
>>5771918
They'd make for some fun gag parts
Hehe, "gag"
>>5771942
>>5771950
I'll admit I pretty much stick to the tf threads, sorry for not checking.
>>5771950
I visit a lot of threads on /toy/, m8, and it doesn't take a person with an ounce of social awareness to know that wanting swappable junk just so you can get off to it is a little out there.
>>5771561
That's because you put together some shitty randomly done thing that was probably incredibly mismatched.
You want a big chunky combiner that's badass and brutal, go with Bruticus and get the PE hands and feet.
>>5770800
>a good MP sized scourge not made by KFC
I dont get the whole Xtransbots is KFC meme with zero evidence, but MX-II Andras is an amazing figure.
>>5772454
Their designs are similar but I'm hardly trying to tinfoil hat marry them together. I just probably said the wrong company name.
I'm curious to see how their purple space jet man who definitely isn't cyclonus is going to turn out.
>>5772010
Random limbs may be a bit of an exaggeration. It was the full stunticon team. I guess I can check Bruticus out though.
>>5772746
Did warbatron die after their shitheap of a bruticus team?
So DX9 is going to make War in a Pocket Starscream and Predaking
Hope their legend Starscream turns good enough
>>5772806
>Starscream
Eh, the HasTak Seeker mold is good enough, I think I'll just get-
>Predaking
ALL OF MY YES
