Either Blitzwing or Windblade. Both fall under the "lol QC issues". Roadbuster also is kind of boring outside of his weapons.

MP-11 Starscream.

I like it, but its easily the one I would call my worst because the transformation is thoroughly unenjoyable, and its a barely-fixed version of an already un-masterpiecey un-starscreamy mold, it cost me an arm and a leg to get the asian exclusive and all I find myself doing is waiting for an entirely-new V3 of masterpiece Seekers to get and replace it.

The best part of this figure is dreaming of when I can have something else in its spot, and sell it on.

>FOC Onslaught

I get entirely why he recieves so much hate, but I can't help but love the guy

His articulation is weird and bad, his bot mode looks way too skinny, his alt mode is basically HALF an alt mode, and the top of it doesn't even fit together properly [on my copy at least], but for whatever reason I just love the weird little bastard.

Do I have shit taste, /tfg?
>>
>>5786332

Yes but if you like him that's great.
>>
>>5786332
Yes.
>>
Worst transformer I own is a tie between Prime Prowl and Thrilling 30 Bumblebee w/ Blazemaster

Prowl is a pain in the fucking ass to transform into car mode because of those arms.

Bumblebee can't even stand up straight because his own accessories make him too top-heavy, he has virtually no heel, and his knees are ridiculously limited compared to what was released alongside him in that wave and since then.

>>
>>5786375
Why do I get the feeling this is being shilled on here?
>>
>>5786379
How? It reads just fine.
TR Brainstorm's distribution is the most contrived thing in transformers in some time.
>>
>>5786379
>>5786386
It's a bit of a run on sentence, but I think he simply finds it odd to spend the money to retool Blurr into Brainstorm and only release the mold as exclusives. This is further compounded by Brainstorm being a remold in the first place at all (as he is one of the iconic original Headmasters).
>>
>>5786252
When they say exclusive, do they mean within the uk?
>>
>>5786390
As far as I know, he's Walgreens exclusive. No idea what that will mean for countries that don't have Walgreens. It may be a shared exclusive though, and pop up on all the stores.
>>
>>5786390
Last I heard people were speculating he'd be a fucking Walgreenes exclusive, so I assume it's just web exclusive across the board until Takara does their version.
>>
>>5786325
Reuse of the same mold at least twice is pretty much now the rule at Hasbro. So they had to come up with one for Blurr for him to get a toy and I guess Devcon is too obscure to qualify.
>>
>>5786375
>>5786381
ONLY $19.99 OF SOUND WAVES IN A NEW ROBOT
>>
>>5786405
Then make Devcon the exclusive.
There's no reason to make a toy of a character that has even gathered some following from the comics, on top of the cult status of the Headmasters anime among fans, to be a exclusive.
>>
>>5786405
I'd rather Blurr be the the retool than Brainstorm, what we have sucks
>>
>>5786411
Really?
Other than the fins it looks like the one in the middle
>>
>>5786427
Nope, whole rear end is wrong.
>>
>>5786354
Bumblebee's only redeeming quality is the cool ass arm transformation.
>>
I wonder how much our opinions on Brainstorm would be different if he came out first and we never knew of Blurr until later?
>>
>>5786381
I wouldn't doubt it.
Personally, I don't know if I love it or hate it. I do like the colors though.
>>
>>5786411
>>5786432
Because g1 Brainstorm's alt mode is so fucking sacred amirite?
>>
>>5786435
Thinking that they gimped him to make someone else as well and people would guess various other winged guys.
>>
>>5786439
Yup.

>>5786435
We'd go "that looks like shit and nothing like him, it's probably a pretool like sentinel."
>>
So what do you guys think Hardhead's gonna get retooled in too?

I have a feeling Roadbuster might fit, but he just got a generations toy a few years back.

Well, here's the list, Perceptor maybe?
>>
>>5786439
I have no idea why people are bitching about this. Since Blurr is one of the better deluxe molds, people should be happy at least it's not going to be Skullsmasher.
>>
>>5786441
Bull-to the-shit we would.

>blurr needed a new toy more
>brainstorm already has a generations toy
>space ships are bigger than space tanks
>Who the fuck is Smart Robin?
>>
>>5786442
I honestly don't know. You could make a while new back section (where the cock pit and cannon are) and turn it into any h-tank character. Maybe Impactor? War Within Megs?
>>
>>5786440
They didn't gimp him. The same mold was intended from the beginning of the design process to be two characters. It's just that Blurr shipped first.
>>
>>5786442

If >>5786446 is accurate, Perceptor definitely. They both have shoulder cannons, and Perceptor has turned into both treaded vehicles and tanks before.
>>
>>5786449
Maybe you wouldn't, but the rest of us aren't so dumb.
>>
>>5786443
Since Quake didn't get a Combiner Wars Mayhem Figure, there is a chance Hasbro is sitting on it.
>>
>>5786442
Hopefully Impactor.
>>
>>5786448
It's not entirely g1 accurate, and I get it that it pushes everyone's OCD and Autism buttons but it's really not that bad.
>>
>>5786458
General threads are, generally, inherently dumb as fuck.
>>
>>5786448
Everything you said can be applied the exact opposite.
>>
>>5786456
>>5786446
I'd take Perceptor, Quake would be cool too. Glad this first wave is really strong besides Galvatron. Hope the next wave will hold up.
>>
>>5786446
>Arcee with Daniel is not planned

oh right, they prefer to make HMs out of non-HM characters, instead of toys that have a basis to be HMs.
>>
>>5786465

It doesn't push mine. The only thing firing my autism is the fact it's gonna be some shitfaced exclusive. And it's impossible to go Takara with him either because then he'll have the shitty anime face rather than the superior faceplate.
>>
>>5786466
You're just too stupid to understand, don't worry about it.
>>
>>5786472

Was she an HM in the anime? If so, Takara will likely shit her out at some point.
>>
>>5786472
>online exclusive repaint of chromedome near the lines end and impossible to find

Not even exaggerating.
>>
>>5786465
I have had incredibly low expectations for TR. I have been saying from the get go when they showed Skullcruncher/Galvatron at Toyfair that they were going to be absolute shit.

And instead Titans Return has blown my expectations out of the water. Give me the original 4 Headmasters (with decent molds), Astrotrain + Legends Wheelie/Brawn/Bee/Cliffjumper and I'll be happy.
>>
>>5786472
Arcee wouldn't work. Her seats are too small at the deluxe price size for a rider. Maybe if they did some weird-ass triple changer voyager one or something, but that would just be a pink version of someone else
>>
>>5786476
Only in the US cartoon. But Takara often loves to do the obscure stuff Hasbro doesn't, even if it's US-based.
>>
>>5786479
I thought everyone hated gayformers and were getting triggered over his gay inspired head design. If he is nowhere in sight, everyone should be happy right?
>>
>>5786389
I think the run-on nature was meant to mimic the convoluted nature of the whole situation. Might just be reading too deeply into it though.
>>
>>5786484
If they do an Arcee it would naturally be moldmates with Minerva.
>>
>>5786485
It'll end up looking like a tranny, so I guess so.
>>
>>5786485
No the fact that it exists at all triggers the special snowflakes who are afraid they'll become gay just by seeing it in stores.
>>
>>5786485

I like the IDW shit. It's modernized G1. Though they could tone down on the fagbots, if only because I just don't give a shit that a cassette tape is trying to fuck a spacecar.

Got one of my holy grails today. omg, this guy is just so beautiful.

He first caught my eye when I was like "hey, that dude kinda has an Ultron-like head. that's neat.", but he didn't become a holy grail until a week ago when I had the most brilliant idea.

So, you guys remember my MC Dreadwing and his spirit that floated around causing mischief. I was thinking: if that spirit was going to be the final boss of my fanfic, how would I do it? Then I thought about Space Case here and it just hit me. He would shock everyone by getting his own body! And what a perfect body for the ultimate villain! He's not a big ugly oaf like Tripredacus or Transquito. He's gorgeous. He's a jet like his counterpart Dreadwing. He's fast. He's tough. He's smart. He's independent. He wields a trident, symbolic of his great and mystical Primacron power. He just looks like he can't be stopped. It's like he was made for the role!

Ah, what a perfect fit.

DESU I'd rather have Transformers be more likeGo-Bots or just go the route of designing each robot with an archetype in mind so then fembots wouldn't start these shitstorms or be so sought after that people will excuse them for having shit toys.

Either they would've been there all the time or there would be no concern for gender in space fucking robots because the characters would be devoid of genders as robots should.

No, no. I know it IS definitely a KO. I bought it knowing that full well. But it definitely doesn't have ankle rockers. . .

Damn it, now I have to go look at it and make sure. Maybe they're just really stiff and I didn't want to break something? Never occurred to me, really.

>Having weaknesses
>>
>>5786919
that kind of thing works for things that are actually mass produced like Zakus, but Transformers in most continuities aren't mass produced, they're created at random from the allspark or some shit.

They can augment themselves and change alt modes, but the core of their bodies and functions seems to be pretty consistent.

For instance a character that is typically a land vehicle wouldn't be able to adopt a flying mode.

So having uniform parts would be hard.

There are some instances of it working though, like the G1 seekers canonically all choose to look like the same mode, and the Prime Vehicons as stated.

But for the whole species it wouldn't really work
>>
>>5786933
In current continuities it's like people. Kind of same but everyone's a little bit different. Cybertronians just have more subspecies. Transporters, constructicons, flyers, weapons, utilitarian, fembots. All just variations on a few themes.
>>
>>5786901
>>5786928
>>5786933
Even if they were all created the same, they'd start to differentiate almost immediately because their sparks would start developing in different directions. Their talents, looks and weapons would follow their owners' development.

Kinda like clone troopers in Star Wars.
>>
I know you guys love him because MUH CUBES but Tomahawk is the single worst transformer I have ever owned and all is mostly due to its design
>shins are too thick, too long, too detailed, and too bayformer-y for them to not clash with the aesthetic of the seeker-like upper body
>AOE Galvatron-tier of pointless knees
>hands are also uselesss, they are way too open to hold its guns and the forearm interferes with their placement so the guns are never firm in their place
>no complaint about the arms, though I don't like them any better than the legs they are functional

Not that I don't like the character, since I only got it because the character was kinda cool, and I'd rather we got a Tomahawk homage as the OC Aerialbot than flying First Aid but the mold is just bad.

Has no altmode and his feet don't even fit on the balljoints; they were even cracked out of the package. I take it as a personal insult since Kickback is one of my all-time favorites and his robot mode looks good.

>FoC Jazz and Sideswipe
Terrible hollow plastic and shitty ratcheted joints. Just as bad as any of the FoC Combaticons but without having a combiner gimmick as an excuse.

>Prime Airachnid
No real articulation and bad proportions. Doesn't look like the character at all.

Comes so close to being good, but the waist assembly doesn't hold together at all. It's flat out awful, and I bought the expensive ass Asian Coronation version.

Nah. FoC Prime and Magnus were simple but good little figures, and as much as I dislike Soundwave's gimmick he's pretty solid. The combiners all have the combining gimmick to salvage them, even though they aren't great individually. The Seekers are alright too, and Fireflight is awesome.

It was definitely an awkward period from the franchise but only a couple cab legitimately be considered some of the worst ever.

Man, the sheer "playability" of this line has completely won me over. They're just good fun. And pretty solid designs.

But it also guys a lot of sweet spots for me anyway because I love figures with cock pits, bases, and tiny figures. Honestly I hope we see some actual playsets beyond figures turning into bases, maybe a fold out ark like that one movie set.

>>5787012
Nothing too broken, then? Most of it sounds aesthetic.

Those things don't sound as bad as Skullsmasher's rubber cover/loose legs and Scourge's bubblehead.

>>5787012
the only problem with Magnus I have is that there's an issue with the knees where folding the knees into robot mode puts pressure on the plastic and can cause it to stress, which makes it not hold.

I returned two Magnuses before I got two working legs for mine. Plus his hands can't hold his guns.

Skullsmasher's rubber cover really isn't bad. I'd have preferred it to be hard plastic but it's not like Blitzwing where the soft plastic is an important loadbearing part. It's just a cover for his cockpit.

Mine did have super loose legs when I got him but he's fine now.

>>5787018
>Nightbeat TM vehicle as a weapon for Blurr

nice. I guess Brawn the best gun/vehicle to match Hardhead. Maybe Skytread for Skullsmasher.

Nightbeat matches Blurr extremely well. And I love that his drill can mount on his forearm. Brawn's green actually matches Skullcruncher really well, too.

Gundam Mechanical Chain Bases.

No stores really carry them anymore. You can find them on ebay, but they're pricey. Your best bet though is contacting the owner of SirToys directly and setting up an order. Although you'll need to order several to make the shipping worth it. Way cheaper than ebay prices though.

I just threw away half a cubic yard of abandoned toy-modding projects I was never going to finish and put another half a cubic yard of nerf/role-play toys with some stuff to give away to a thrift store.

It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It's been building up for a while: I've been noticing piles of stuff around my place that don't really have anywhere to be put away, and I don't like the idea of living like white trash, even though I'm employed full time and still subsist below the poverty line.

I am marking the occasion by posting about it in /tfg/ with a pic of Tracks in a sort of kung fu stance.

Dinobots in the comics got dino modes when they went to Earth to beat Shockwave's ass in a slight callback to Beast Wars "Oh no radiation will fuck us, gotta adopt these forms". Before that they had unseen (?) cybertronian modes.

Blades feels pretty cheap to me. I dunno why, he just feels flimsy as fuck compared to, say, Rook or Swindle or any of the Deadend remolds, which is funny since Deadend feels fine and he's red. Maybe the darker red isn't as cheap feeling? Fuck if I know.
