All of the Combiner Wars/Unite Warriors stuff is great except Menasor. You basically need a 3P kit to make Menasor look good. The difference between CW and UW is paint apps and sometimes different molds used. CW goes for original G1 toy deco, UW goes for G1 show deco.

I'd definitely call MP28 Hotrod a huge winner.

No purpose except hackery.

Budinskey and his artists never fucking bothered to have Ratbat drawn consistently in size. He goes from small to huge often in the course of a single issue due to the fact that no one gave a fuck about sticking to one size/scale for him
>>
>>5768452
and also generations Nightbeat's thrusters are pretty neat, might as well

but actually, I'd suggesting giving it a while before you decide to do it, I'm holding out hope that all these random heads will get bodies eventually

>do his entire thighs, go nuts.
come on sexy macaulay face poster, you're slacking
>>
>>5768468
I'd prefer a new body, I have that generations mold and I regret getting it, its just kinda lackluster. the chest doesn't stay down, the door wings ruin his silute is his arms aren't straight down, the backpack doesn't stay tabbed in, the hands don't hold his "guns" well, and the feet and legs are a bit loose.

plus its close, but not quite enough like Nightbeat for me. Head is great, but the colors are all off, blue chest, black thighs etc. He had painted lights and hubcaps though, not many have that these days

oh man, I just remember one of the really annoying things on him, he has these tiny little tabs on his forearms that seem to serve no purpose other than to prevent him from turning his elbows in toward the body., had to file mine off

So now that we know Takara is willing to heavily retool figures and create completely new ones for grater source accuracy, what are the odds of Takara actually creating a 6 member Leokaizer?
>>
>>5768506
depends on budget and if they want to do a victory figure. they're doing a decepticon victorion so anything is likely.
>>
>>5768506
unfortunately I'm very certain we won't be getting one, making a new deluxe limb is pretty big and wasn't expecting that at first either, so there's a chance, but doing a two member torso is unlikely imo, we'll probably get him as a legends weapon or chest piece or something if anything

Honestly, anything is possible, but two wholly new toys is a tall order.

And just like that, I have two new favorite Decepticons. These guys make such a fun pair, I think it's because they aren't actually existing characters. I can just project whatever amusing henchmen archetypes onto them that I want. But I love the similarities in their molds. They both have wings/shoulder missiles/roof chests/hood shins, but in entirely different ways.

It's a shame Tracks was essentially the test run for this mold. Loud Pedal has none of the issues that my Tracks suffered from.

Fair enough. I felt like that at one point, but then I just caved and bought them and I don't regret a single penny. I originally had no interest in Exhaust, but loved Loud Pedal at first sight, so I ended up buying Exhaust just so he could have a friend. I haven't been touching Hasbro's retail releases over the past few years, so I felt the splurge was justified.

I did the same thing with Ultra Magnus, actually. I didn't care for him at first, but once Hot Rod got announced and I saw the promo pics and realized how great they looked together, I just threw my wallet at them. I'm a sucker for a good team-up.

You can call it whatever you like. But saying it's official name is not official is pretty stupid.

If you refuse to call a third party toy by the name of the official character it represents, so you also call all official toys using trademark getarounds by their on-box name? Do feel you have to call it "Quickslinger", "Sargent Kup", etc?

That's easy: Landcross. They'd just have to make alternate heads and remold the buggy into a speedboat. Dash can be a Dead End repaint, Tacker from Rook, Mach from Blast-Off, and Tackle from Offroad. They wouldn't have the old stacking gimmick, but that's not too big of a deal.

Fort max anon here who ended up returning his fort max in favor of the SDCC.

Still have your gen metroplexes?

Excuse the dust, I ended up digging him out of the mess pile he was in, pretty sad I was so willing to pay $98aud back in the day only to pay $220 for what is essentially the same thing.

If only there was a cheaper to get a matching fort max, and stupid me thought $168 from premium collectables was too much, how wrong I was.

Gotta say despite lack of paint apps compared to the takara and SDCC version of him gen metroplex is majestic in his own way, is it the size of the cost?

And yes I did delete the full pic so we can enjoy the dust better

Isn't he the blue jet from the same line as windblade?

I sadly have the megatron version (which is a homage to the machine wars toy that was canceled, if I got that right).

The prototype isn't selling it for me and I have a version of the reveal the shield optimus mold (well, legends scourge), hopefully the final result is good though.

What a shame otherwise for the convention exclusives, only one from memory I know was g2 ramjet and that's too much to pay for that

All these questions your asking are easy to find out without waiting for an answer here.

>>5769032

we really need new Generation updates of the cyberjets.
>>
>>5769045
Simple really, metroplex was designed to be metroplex.

Say what you will about his transformation but apart from the hands being exposed (which do fold in to minimize them) he does a pretty damn good update on metroplex with full articulation on top of being fucking big as well as minimal gaps (least in exposed, legs are hollow but solid).

Fort max, while an extensive retool is just a backwards metroplex that relies on a fan mode to complete him, plus the fat head doesn't help.

Therefore retooling one big guy into another guy who's supposed to be bigger doesn't work, I only hope the next 2 (tripticon and scorponok) are at least a mold that can handle both (we know they'll be retooled into each other)

Jesus christ, all they had to do was make the croc legs fold into the back of the robot legs and this guy would look great. But no, they can't even manage that, and as such his legs look like hollow pieces of shit.

To be fair his original toy had the croc legs on the sides. Also, you're bitching about hollow calves on a deluxe after a shitton of molds from CW also suffered from hollow legs. I don't enjoy it either but you get deeper knee bend because of it and you're not going to be posing him facing the wall, are you? It's not a deal breaker imo.

Fuck it if I can be a seeker whore I can double dip on him.

Yeah that was what got me to buy him (his idw body) though looking into it there was a homage to machine wars as well...though it was cancelled.

As for the titan master thing only if there are connector ports for their heads or feet, there are none in the hollows of the legs, hollow by design of transformation sadly.

They've shown them switched around though.
>>
>>5769085
There's a difference between screw holes and vast gaping voids in the back of the legs.

>>5769086
Plenty of times. I don't keep my Transformers permanently displayed- I often take them off the shelves and have them set up on top of the bookcase in my room, on my coffee table and likewise, in which case you'll definitely be able to see the back, or indeed any angle other than straight on.

>>5769087
Yeah, in fact I'm not buying official combiners anymore at all after what happened to my UW Defensor, though that had more to do with plastic quality than aesthetics.

They're little blindboxed figures where the big head opens up. You fold up the robot body and fold down the vehicle, and vice versa.

Why? G2 Dreadwing is better than T30 by miles, the Cyberjets are still probably the best Basics ever made, and Laser Prime is a miracle of the universe.

Cost mostly, I'd imagine they'd be looked after and worth a bit, though a friend was telling me about 2 jet transformers that connected to each other...
