Yeah, he's a good mold, but I don't let that be enough for me. There has to be something else. In this case it was the thought of funny spin off adventures starring Ratchet and Bantor, which was caused by that one line of dialogue.

But let me tell you. Spin off of canon characters is the weakest of all my reasons to buy certain toys. It never ends well. I realize I am not invested in telling those spin off stories, so it makes sense to get rid of them, but I did buy the toys for a reason, so I more than likely would end up buying them again in the future. It leaves me in this limbo where I have to just hold on to them and hate myself for not spending that money on more meaningful toys first.

It's rather unfortunate that they released Hardhead not long after and did the treads-arm thing so much better. It even has freaking wrist swivels.
>>
>>5772221

Remember, just because they released kind of close together doesn't mean they were designed close together. Stuff for CW was probably designed 2-3+ years ago, and TR shit was being worked on while CW was releasing the past year or 2. They're probably already working on the very end of TR and Earth Wars right now (or whatever is the next line after TR).

This time they don't have to design the entire line around robots that need to be quadchangers, though.

CW probably ate budget like a fat girl eats cake. Despite peoples bitching about mold re-use, the line has been incredibly solid and well made, outside of Motormaster and the heli-molds too weak port.

I got one of the black kos, head is hollow and has no articulation (easy balljoint mod), the ankle rocker was removed and he has no thumbs, everything else is pretty much there, it came with the 2 guns and 2 huge swords, if you can't get the "original" the ko isn't a bad choice once you mod the head.

Beast Wars had plenty of GOAT toys of new characters, and so did the movies when they were still doing them. Breacher for example, a new name for a new character was one of the best things to come out of the ROTF line.

Holy shit I did the same thing, like a mongoloid. might have done it different

I don't like it when you have to do the transformation in order... especially on a toy as basic as the AB mold
>>
>>5772548
Unfortunately for the AB mold you can't rip out the legs straight away. You can for the Fireflight mold (it actually makes it easier because the legs slot into grooves, so that makes it rather difficult to unhook them like on AB), but doing the same on AB is guranteeing the destruction of his kneecaps

A sadly shit design on a decent toy

Is the TF5 toyline even gonna have generations styled figures?

I get what they're trying to do by separating Generations, RID, etc; but all I'm seeing is poor distribution, only one specific line at a time (between Gen. and RID), and way too many gimmick toys compared to mainline stuff.

You won't destroy it, you'll either get nasty damage (the worst is having it bend but not break, that's seriously difficult to fix) or a permanent stress mark, or a glue seam.
>>
>>5772555
Considering the movies have swearing and higher age-ratings, you'd think they'd make toys for the people who will actually be seeing it. What really pisses me off is the wasted opportunities for great figures, because the ROTF and DOTM Cyberverse lines produced some of the best figures to date, yet now they're just churning out gimmick shit of the same 3 characters over and over again. It wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't hit so many home runs with the previous two lines.
>>
>>5772555
Why wouldn't it? The way they did AoE shows that they now view what we used to think were "standard movie toys" as generations figures.

We don't know if they're ever gonna reduce the gimmick toys (they probably won't because of parent complaints), but we'll be sure to see TF5 mainline toys on shelves; probably replacing whatever Generations line was going on until then.

*ahem* not the point. The question is this, at this point if I want to put together a small collection of the "Bee Team" whats my best bet? Warrior class looks to have the most potential, with the exception being tracking down the Takara Battle Grimlock. Is there anything even close to a decent Optimus in the line and how can I built a Fix-It army.
Being a year. . ish late to the party is it even worth trying to hunt these down in stores?
now I'm going to go find more StrongArm pics. . . because reasons.
>>
>>5772215
Hasbro pumped him out first...

But who do we find out who made this, it seems (to me) alot of releases are hasbro designed and takara improves upon with lavish paint jobs with minimal retools where required, with the roles reversed (though not completely) with mp's.

But if the designers are the same I fear transformers will degenerate into thin air

Good suggestion and not bad looking but I was hoping to keep in a deluxe like price point/size since that's mostly what my collection consists of. I've seen most of the Warriors get major improvements with Reprolables.
Would probably be a pipe dream to wish eventually for a Generations style StrongArm release.

>>5772660
>But she's smaller than the warrior is she not?

If you have a decent collection of Scouts/Commanders/Legends, the battle pack figures would go nicely.

If all you want is Team Bee, you can just get most of the battle packs, plus Warriors Grimlock and Optimus.
>>
>>5772668
Scouts and commanders I lack and she would fit.

But she wouldn't work with my legions, especially since I have the black repaint which would be a dead give away.

Really I just want a decent deluxe sized strongarm, I got the legends waifu gang and need a decent autobot team to combat them, still looking for a decent chromina...

Although I suppose with the Battle Pack figures, that anon is limited to Bee, Strongarm, Sideswipe, and the two Warriors.

Maybe downsizing further will be better, where you get Battle Pack Grim and Optimus, and everyone else is Legion size. That way Team Bee is complete, plus the Decepticon selection becomes bigger.

I guess go for the Takara Warrior Strongarm then, so you'll at least have the better paintjob with your deluxe-scale figure.

You'll have a complete Team Bee once Warrior Windblade is released, and then you can go get Voyager Grimlock and TAV21 Optimus Prime for scale.

For something that scales with Warrior class, there's TAV-21 Optimus Prime and TAV-33, the Supreme mode version.

Takara doesn't have the FOC Grimlock-retool yet. Only the hasbro platinum 2-pack has it.

You should first decide which scale you want your team...
