Anyone else think it's fitting, in a "Fuck you with a razor dildo" spiteful sort of way that Funclub is making one of the most highly requested CW figures of the main cast of Transformers, Combiner Wars Ratchet, not just a fucking convention exclusive but a CUSTOMIZE CLASS EXCLUSIVE FIGURE....
Given how Generations G2 Sideswipe and TFA Minerva go for $300-500 a pop PLUS the bullshit where they used EVERY deco available short of the movie colors, to cockblock the figure getting a legit release at retail?
That's some spiteful bullshit.
But to be expected since the fuckers started out their first Botcon releasing Towline as Ratchet, a redeco we SHOULD have gotten at retail but got fucked over, especially since Botcon Ratchet immediately went for $500-700 and remains unobtainable for a huge chunk of collecters given how his aftermarket price never went down.
>>5593461
Plant mode has three feet. Two are the robot mode's feet and one is behind the robot mode head.
>>5593468
Not really a problem.
Takara just re-released Generation Ratchet in a box set with Perceptor and Kup.
And TF Prime Ratchet is still quite affordable
>>5593468
Nothing's stopping Hasbro from releasing the Ratchet version as a regular release later on. Thundercracker was a club exclusive, and it got a regular release.
>>5593480
Overkill got a release after it had been a customization class figure.
>>5593468
Hasbro wouldn't let them use the mold for Ratchet if they had plans for doing him any time soon.
Hasbro isn't doing Ratchet. By this time next year, they'll be starting up on possibly the line after Titans Returns.
>>5593498
It's not the same head used for Botcon Devcon. Not only that, but the figure's eyes are different sizes. Hardly usable as a Devcon head.
Got my boxset. Interesting thing is the credits on the side of the box for this years theme. A lot if not all IDW guys, Hasbro people and even Protoman is there. Is that why the set and extra figures does not suck this time?
>>5593454

I took you guys' advice from a couple of threads back and steered clear of Optimus. I got Scattershot instead, because he was on sale. Combiner Wars is a pretty cool system, and I'm glad the price finally went down enough for me to bite before Titans Return got here.

I actually prefer the Hasbro limbs, but that Scattershot is sex.
>>5593884
Jesus titslobbering christfuck it tells you right in the OP that it's a Triffid
>hasbro vs takara
I'm actually curious as to what hasbro will do for the individual heads of the limbs and how much retooling has went into its airraid limb?
I also predict, SINCE TAKARA usually do everything amazing, when they might consider selling the new hands and feet individually.
What dedicated TF nut would go without MORE articulation AND giving their fav brand MORE MONEY and not that "horrible over priced third party companies".
Not that I care personally...but if the price is right I might grab a set.
I think it'd be silly if you buy betatron just for those new hands and feet at this point but hay we all have the freedom to choose, if not for the head and chest I too may of went hasbro

thank fuck they're done after this.
I can't believe Hasbro approves of this.
>>5593732
Ugggh. I'm torn. I like takaras general detail also the new molds are great because I've never had blastoff or groove. Plus the sculpting and new gun are sick. Then again I hate the light speed mold and I prefer Hasbro's. I'll see if the takaras drill can go a bit upwards as a knee gaurd as the deciding factor on the leg, I hate the brawl mode but it makes a good looking leg. Also Hasbro has the new cosmos member. Either way I'm using the 3p upgrades :/
>>5594001
The drill has a 5mm port on it so you can give Computron a drill hand.
The only reason to consider Hasbro version now is Scrounge and the hands/feet.
>>5593978
Looks like one of those mutated Indian babies.
>>5594001
>I'll see if the takaras drill can go a bit upwards
Not happening, this is how high the turret moves up, slightly popped out so you can see the mechanism.
>>5594005
>The only reason to consider Hasbro version now is Scrounge and the hands/feet
Pretty weak reasons, buying your own cosmos and 3p hands and feet alone would work out better.
Really this is a matter of cost, provided that whoever sells hasbro's doesn't do anything retarded
>>5594005
I kind of like their Strafe, and I like the Dead End mold more than the Breakdown mold.
I really want Hasbro Computron to end up like their G2 Superion.
>>5594011
Takara's Nosecone is a retool of Rook, and the Drill is a separate piece. I imagine you can just turn it 180 on whatever point it mounts to on the knee.
>>5594005
True. Maybe there will be an individual release and I can get scrounge. Thing is I like sleek limbs and hate kibble hanging down like on takaras. If the drill can be a knee pad I'll be psyched. Also I'd swap lightspeed for afterburner, was my preferred G1 configuration.
>>5594005
I do want Scrounge but at this point, I may just have to hope for a Takara release of mr. special hand.
>>5594014
The turrent doesn't rotate unless you move it to the port behind where its normally meant to sit....
Oh, wait no for some reason I mistaken "takara" for hasbro, was too busy fuming at brawl to realize my mistake
Breakdown is an awful leg but a decent arm IMO, plus I'm not huge on the chunky bot. Dead end is all around better
I just got the idea of giving defensor a hammer made of the shitty hand foot guns so rook can still be equipped with hulk hands.

>WE WILL NEVER GET A JELLYFISH TRANSFORMER
IT HURTS TO LIVE
>>5593910
The Takara one is missing the pinkish red and their Afterburner is way to red. I may have to repaint it like this.
Apart from the hinge elbows (I see takara screaming "ITS JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL TOY DON'T YOU LIKE HOMAGES!?") I really do think primal is made for robot mode, its just about perfect.
The gorilla mode is hard to do, like any mp its very front on with the white robot calves exposed at the rear, and the feet, they're horrible, even the old ultra class can fold up the back bits, though I feel they allow him to stand upright better.
Can someone kindly post the pic with him with the other generations maximals, I know he's roughly voyager size but it'll help me picture his height better.
Plus I have the old ultra class and want to assess if its worth it
>>5593732
Well, it looks good. They didn't fuck it up, they didn't go pure red on everything like the cartoon did. Guess they learned from Defensor's horribly painted self.
>>5594138
Upright he'd be about twice the size of the original deluxe Dinobot. And he's taller than Rhinox so I'd say he's around the Ultra class, definitely not Voyager.
>>5594141
The only consequence is they used the deco from an obscure sequence in order to give it some flavor, while nice its not what he was consistently colored
>>5594039
how do they keep screwing up the heads?
>>5594039
no.
>>5594143

>>5594039
Tfw no perfect effect botcon exclusive hands and feet.
>>5594171
No, the old generations/legends figures.
The "new" ones are LG-EX series, so not only convention exclusives most likely like Scourge was (as in robots in disguise) but a redecos
>>5594167
Never said it wasn't, the deco is bothering me more than it should, I like all the takara remolding but Hasbro has the toy deco I love, only have budget for one tho.
>>5594175
I LOVE the Takara Scattershot, but I vastly prefer the choice of limb molds by Hasbro for Strafe and Nosecone. You wanna enter a pact and switch some parts? That'd be what, around $130 for each of us accounting for shipping?
>>5593910
Takara version's feet are a huge downgrade, but I was gonna grab the Perfect Effect set for this anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Otherwhise the colors are way better. Happy I'm going with this one.
>>5594183
It may be more difficult/expensive, I'm on Mexico, I'll try to cancel my preorder for the UW and go with my old plan of getting the Hasbro with this add on.
>>5594166
so the idea 4 robots smashing against another robots arm and feet makes them stronger when the reality is you have the same mass and strength as separate units, you are just now one big target.
>>5594197
The logic behind combiners is probably that their systems interlock and go into overdrive, giving them more strength and shit.
>>5594194
Damn, if I don't find anyone willing to trade I'll do the same.
Anyone going to Botcon if Air Razor and Megatron are packed together in a set and if they some how don't suck. Me and a friend are willing to buy.
>>5594208
that was more of my point what a sword made of swords fits it's theme fine

The rumor is that the line after Titans Retruns is "earth Wars,and it'll be the 1984 redux line John warden wanted to do for the thrilling 30. So we may just get Ratchet again soon enough.
I know we got a lot of '84 characters already in CW(and a lot of those where double dips after a Classics/Universe/etc release), but John warden seems to be taking a GI Joe approach with the line; i.e. making it so that certain characters always have a figure available. Just like we get a Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander every year we may just see Optimus and Megatron and starscream every year.

Cheapest and possibly the easiest way to go is to get it from a B/S/T at a collecting website. I've gotten really valuable things from TFW's B/S/T forum because people there are WAY less likely to charge scalper rape prices. I got SG Starscream 3 years ago for like 75 bucks shipped. Lots of other great deals have been had there (and even on the B/S/T threads on /toy/ actually).
If I'm feeling impatient and have cash to burn, I just use eBay.
>>5594342
>Just like we get a Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander every year we may just see Optimus and Megatron and starscream every year.
You know what? Thats a good decision. I recently got into collecting, and guess what? It's hard as fuck to find a GOOD Megatron outside of the CW. It's hard to find a GOOD Optimus outside of MP-10. Good Starscream? Pfft, good fucking luck with that!
And no, Bayformers shit, and stylized RiD/Animated/Prime/whatever don't count.
>>5594426
I think it's a bit much every year.
every 2 or 3 years, sure that'd be fine but every year is a bit much.
>>5594155
He scales well with Rattrap at least.
>>5593732
I love it. Shame about Afterburner being red for toon accuracy, though. I wanted an Afterburner in that light orange and neither company is doing that deco.
>>5594428
Heres the thing though.
Collectors? Don't have to buy those. They've got other ones, or the MP's, or...Something. But kids, new collectors, guys just looking for a bit of nostalgia to slap on their desk at work or home, etc, now have those figures readily available.
>>5594407
I mean a classics style Optimus, Megatron, etc, not just a mainline/movie style version.
>>5594426
I agree, and I say this as someone who never stopped collecting since BW wave 1. If anything its kinda weird that if you want a regular looking Batman, Spider-man, or some other classic character you can get one anytime at any store, but if you want a G1-looking Optimus that transforms and wasn't an MP or tiny you were out of look for almost a decade between Classics 1 and CW.
So any /toy/ soldiers at BotCon this year or were you all too smart for that?
>>5594457
I could sure use some cherry coke right about now.
Oh god this is awful.
>>5593454
Man, its crazy just how close to BW that concept art looks. It looks straight out of the 90's. Granted it wasn't that long ago when this concept art was drawn in 2006; only about 6 years after the last new BW toys; and a lot of the same designers where still at Takara anyway(and a lot still are,it seems).
I'd love it if a third party produced these or something like it. I'd be all over throwback figures like this; I loved the Glaciabots figures as well.

>>5594520
YOU DOUBLE CHOPSHOP
>>5594522
Most forums have subforums for discussion outside Transformers. Just about every board has this, including TFW2005.

I wish I got that Megatron now. Chop Shop (scissors) seems cool
Thankfully he's fine.
Dump incoming, all from eBay.
>>5594545
>>5594545
OH NO HE'S HOT
Megatron, Terrorsaur, Unit-3, and Reflector all seem to have escaped Funpub's bad ideas and bad headsculpts.
>>5594550
This is neat
WHAT THE FUCK
>>5594553
Oh crap, that is actually really awesome.
>>5594548
Halloween repaint
>>5594553
That's as bad as the ROTF Arcee triplets.
>>5594522
Perhaps the tranny, in it's confused mental state, mistook Transformers for being about trannys.
>>5594557
What did I tell you? Fools and their money.
>>5594553
So stupid it is awesome.
>>5594471
Well, it doesn't look as big as the first pics made it out. Not that it saves it or anything.
>>5594553
I'm pretty sure that would look terrible from any angle but the front, and it doesn't look good from there either.
>>5594552
Who the fuck is this supposed to be even?
>>5594569
U-3. Upgraded from head to car for other mode.
>>5594561
Not really.
Reflector: fun bonus configuration that locks together in several places that someone figured out
Bike triplets: Combination that was planned and designed, but never happened in the toys and had one shitty connection point.
>>5594569
Some stupid Mcdonalds toy.
>>5594569
READ THE FUCKING THREAD
>>5594571
G1-styled Arcee combiner when?
>>5594573
Sorry for not reading a thread of 225 posts. My bad.
>>5594580
I apologise, I didn't know your alt, ctrl and F keys were broken and your on-screen keyboard wasn't working.
>>5594582
or your mouse
>>5594586
or your brain
>>5594545
something about the yellow/black combo on the legs looks off to me. like he's wearing disco flares and sandals or something.
>>5594563
>transforms from woman to man and back again!
>>5594545
Is he paired with Air Razor and how much?
>>5594557
>being jealous of convention exclusives you'll never have
Heh, must feel pretty bad being poor, huh, kiddo?
>>5594594
>accepting that shit-tier chewed caramel head
Don't worry, he still loves you each time he hits you.
>>5594593
The only toys in sets this year are the box set and the Reflector 3-pack
>>5594598
Only true fans like me can see the hard work and effort that has gone into FunPub's swansong to the Transformers line. This last line is really knocking it out of the park with their trademark quality and attention to detail. Not even Takara can manage to give the fans classic characters that have been requested for years at such high quality.
>>5594464
>>5594557
Why did they give them necks. All they had to do was make the bottom face of the head flat. That should've been EASIER than what they did
>>5594557
>Breakdown mold
>Forced them to have a flat face
>Has the wrong foot so it renders connection points useless
>Could have used any other car mold, especially the one that resembles a Jaguar which has a bigger head cavity
Has there been a bigger funpub fuck up? I can't remember the last time a convention exclusive was flawed from the very stop.
Airazor from Takara’s Slipstream (LE 750 $49), TransMetals 3 Megatron from RID Galvatron (LE 850 $89), Tigatron from Botcon’s Ravage mold (LE 1200 $49), Unit-3 from Combiner Wars Streetwise (which looks to be an “Under 3” homage to the McDonald’s Happy Meal toy. LE 1200 $49) and lastly “Reflector three-pack” from Legends Shockwave (LE 1300 $59)
>>$90
Fuck it. I'm out.
>>5594610
Not even the misassembled Cannonball and Scorponok from like 2014?
>>5594545
Megatron's head is a holdover from 3H isn't it?
No way this is Fun Pub.
And man Four Horsemen dropped the ball.
>>5594616
Wait, they got Four Horsemen to do a headsculpt?
>>5594473
it's the closest site to being any good. TFW2005 is basically 4chan.
Seibertron is Reddit and Allspark is Tumblr.
pick your poison.
>>5594623
Clearly they were phoning it in.
>>5594633
The horrendous quality of typing on TFW2005 keeps me from going their. Its like every other person types like a retard in a chatroom. Everyone acts like some braindead bro.
>>5594648
>their
>>5594522
Allspark has Gin Sowtoam, TFW is better for that fact alone.
>>5594650
Irony.
>>5594654
Don't you mean John Salami?
>>5594552
Nice car mode at least.
>>5594654
I don't think Jin has posted anywhere in years, at least not regularly. He's definitely not an Allspark regular.
>>5594665
That is nice.
>gap in stripes
Wow
Oh God...
>>5594670
It's unpaintable plastic. There's gaps on every figure there.
>>5594671
Each pic is worse than the last.
