When is Bruticus going to hit stores already edtion.
Old Thread:

Mods are just gonna delete posts in the previous thread and keep it from dying.
>>5291307
Seems like a lot of effort to keep a thread from falling off.
>>5291250
They're pretty good in my experience so far. All are worth owning, but they're not perfect. I've got UW Superion, UW Menasor, and CW Defensor.
Known problems:
Menasor's the weakest overall in the hips department. He's also kind of top heavy, or he feels like it in my experience, which, combined with the weaker hips, can make posing him a bit of a chore. He might just flop over if you don't balance him out well enough.
Defensor's in the middle. He has some hip problems, but they're not as bad as Menasor. His chest plate though, is his worst feature. It doesn't really stay tabbed in too well. Can be solved by maybe making the tabbing more secure via joint tightening methods like superglue or futureshine, maybe. Or by just holding the chest plate when you move his arms.
Superion is just the most solid. Guys a rock. Not completely perfect, but easily the best.
You'll probably be best off looking for UW Superion if you plan on getting him though, people are scalping the shit out of the CW version's limb bots.
How many of you are still planning to get UW Devastator?
>>5291316
Also, this carries over for any remolds Prime=Motormaster, Cyclonus=Silverbolt, and unless Onslaught has some big changes (he might?), Bruticus=Hot Spot
>>5291325
Thanks, that's all disappointing to hear. Guess I'll pray to takara for better versions and hope that Hasbro doesn't fuck up betatron.
>>5291325
Clarify though. The ratcheting is fixed in the rerelease of motor Master and battle core prime.
>>5291354
>>5291352
Like I said, I have the UW version. Which has the fixed hips. They're still not that great. I mean, it's possible mine isn't perfect, but he's still a good deal floppier than anyone else. His top-heaviness will cause his midsection to flop right over if I try to lean his midsection over too much.
And yeah, Battlecore should have the same hips. Honestly, it's not so bad it'll ruin your day by getting him, just be aware he has issues. I bought them knowing their flaws, and they're still great overall.
>>5291354
>>5291362
Yeah, I guess the hip ratchets was the major weak point but there are PLENTY of either weak points on the motormaster torso, including
>The 2 small friction tabs on the plastic flap locking the legs.
>Swivel waist
>Front-back transformation hinge at the abs.
>Arms locked by 2 small tabs that are unable to latch at all (did they fix this in the newer molds?)
>>5291377
Beats me.
>>5291377
Could try complaining to whoever runs 4chan now that the mods here are screwing up the threads by removing random posts thus causing our threads to back up and not die off like they should.
Also whats the difference between UW/CW Devy besides like one guy having elbow joints? Were there any other changes?
>>5291387
2 guys have elbow joints
>>5291387
and there's a visor gimmick, along with g1 style weapons for each of them.
>>5291387
>>5291387
Every single member of the team has been improved. Scavenger and Bonecrusher now have better knees, Hook and Mixmaster have better elbows, Long Haul and Scrapper have actual elbows, there's a new combiner head and individual guns for all the members.
Sadly it's still too big, really hollow and Mixmaster still looks like shit.
>>5291411
Oh, thats a nice chart. Thanks. The price difference is a bit much just for adding some joints and a bit more paint and guns though, damn.
How big are Cybertron Prime's arms compared to the ones on Powermaster Prime?
>>5291321
I am. I was going to pass on Devastator entirely until I saw the changes Takara made to it.
>>5291411
The pros out way the cons on the Unite Warriors version.
>>5291434
Not much bigger and they won't integrate into the trailer's transformation at all.
If you're that hard up to improve on PMOP, get the reissue. It has longer arms with sliding fists.
>>5291467
Are they at least slightly larger in terms of length and bulk? The integration isn't an issue, this will be a kitbash.
>>5291476
The wrists on Ginrai come to where the fists end on PMOP. The fists slide out an extra 3/4". Width is about the same but they're detailed better.
Cyb Prime's arms are probably no bigger excluding the bulky shoulder armor. They may even be smaller for all I know.
>>5291311
More like /tfg/ has too much shitposting.
>>5291580
Not that I've noticed.
Thanks to that Abominus everyone is convinced the Fort Max is a fake
>>5291590
>eyes immediately focus on moonrunes
Shit, I thought it said FAKE.
>>5291497
What about Cybertron Metroplex's arms? I need some sort of ratcheted arms for the trailer. I hear MP01's are a good size, but I'm shelling out that much on something to just cannabilize for parts.
>>5291600
Too big, Cybertron prime arms are closser but the design is way to different to g1, try looking for this ko upscaled robotmaster prime, its cheap and has the right style and size.
>>5291610

>>5291620
Well, Nevermore probably let one of his interns make up that graphic. Someone has to keep track of the packaging variants.
>>5291610
How's the plastic quality on this?
>>5291618
Yep, that one has the arms almost the same lenght as PW Prime just a bit longer, but theres a "leader" upscale that may work better.
>>5291600
you'd be better off waiting to see what Hasbro's new version is going to look like before you hack up a vintage PMOP
>>5291639
>>5291618
It varies, on mine it feels cheap and thin, but it works for a custom if you paint it.
>G2 Bruticus set

Thanks, Hasbro. Money saved!
Is this real? TR PM Prime?
>>5291774
I hope so.
>>5291774
Citimus Prime. Buy it with your Citibank card!
>>5291774
Those are some cereal box-ass legs
>>5291774
Well, the next line is all -Masters. Powermaster Prime with his lil' chest buddy wouldn't seem out of the ordinary among the Head and Targetmasters.
But these fuzzy as fuck things are probably fake. Nothing screams fake to people more than out of focus shit with more grain than a wheat field.
>>5291774
Well the dudes who leaked all the Titan stuff, did say there would a prime which was a heavy remold of UM.
>>5291774
Nah, it's fake. A couple of the pixels are out of alignment.
>>5291774
Even more disappointing that I thought.
>>5291774
>my info leak is a grainy pic where you can't see anything
Fucking stop this, whoever leaks shit. If you have info, post it in full, stop this crap.
>>5291840
And lose the adoration of the masses? I think not.
>>5291840
I got a feeling its an internal leak done deliberately to help boost interest from collectors.
Either that or its been grained to help prevent whoever leaked it from being found, whoever leaks this shit clearly works for them
g2 bruticus anyone?
Obviously blastoff is still a jet but he's in nasa colors now
>>5291871
Tempting. But if I'm getting a Bruticus it's gonna be Takara's with the proper Blast Off.
>>5291876
I like the g2 camo colors but I want a proper blast off as well
>yet another use of the alpha bravo mold
>>5291876
We still don't know what their blast off will be.
>>5291894
Better than the hasbro version, that's for sure
>>5291321
I never cared about Devastator until I played Devastation, and now I want it. The game is sorta a commercial for him and I'm totally sucker like that

Cybertron Con, 2017.
>>5291911
It made me buy it. I bought it on HTS with 20% off and free shipping. He just came in today and all I've had time to do is open it up and transform them to bot mode. Even just by themselves they're large. Especially long haul. Already bought the PE elbows and guns set.
>>5291419
>The price difference is a bit much
The chart isn't accurate, dude. UW Devastator actually costs 200 bucks, which is a worth while preice difference i think.
In fact, the price should be lower given the yen's exchange rate AND the discounts HLJ and amiami give you. HLJ has him for 150 bucks, so go buy him!

Yuki's been teasing a new mold ala Groove.
>>5291957
>>5291972
>Yeah which he did Like over a month ago and we still haven't seen anything since.
'Cause it's gonna be a while - Unite Warriors Defensor, Devastator, and Optimus Maximus still haven't been released - then they're doing a Galvatronus and THEN Bruticus or even possibly a Computron.
>>5291984
Yeah but we saw groove pretty quickly.
I'll just believe it when I see it. Right now what we have is hardly proof of anything.
>>5291411
I'll just pay an extra $30 for the PE upgrade and I'm already happy with my SDCC version.
>>5291985
they did Groove... but then again, the other 2 were repaints with new heads, and they're not doing a G1 Mixmaster. So while it's possible, there's no solid rule saying it'll happen.
>>5291963
The others should have remolds as the Helicopter mode is already a Military one.
>>5291984
So do you think the new parts to Galvatronus will be named Hook, Line, & Sinker? We're they not some of Unicron's croneys in the old Marvel comics?
Some wanker got Onslaught and Scattershot reviews up.
Onslaught: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz93WbMdBZk
Scatternot-getting-a-full-combiner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T43m5H-0W3g
>>5291871
I'm almost tempted to wait for a potential G2 Bruticus and Defensor with Shuttle-Blast Off and Deluxe Groove.
Or get both. I'd be up for G2 Rook.
>>5292095
Damn. Not having that ladder makes that mold seem so much better as a torso.
>>5292101
G2 Rook, now with even more Brutality!
>>5292095
Man. I surprised and impressed at the remolding of the Hot Spot mold. And I love the combined mode chest expansion.
And I guess silver chested Onslaught is coming out first then?
>>5292117
Unless these guys were fed models specifically by Hasbro or something, they probably got them the same way as anyone else, which means silver chest Onslaught is first.
And fuck they just completely phoned Scattershot in didn't they? It looks hideous as a giant blob of red in body mode.
>>5292095
Man, that paint on the shoulders will come off almost immediately.
>>5292095
Pretty bad job of reviewing but at least got to see the thing. For 12 minutes I thought he was going to be pretty streamlined turned out he drones on and mumbles as much as anyone else.
>>5292147
Honestly, for repaints/remolds that are so simple like this, they should just hightlight whats changed/new from the previous mold.
Hell, the Scattershot review could've just pointed at the nose and wings and went "Thats it." and then ended by throwing the thing at the wall. Followed by 37 minutes of sobbing.
>>5291919
More like $170. But you also have to factor in shipping. EMS shipping for it is going to be at least 6800jpy given the weight of the us release. Its even cheaper at Amiami but its still not worth it.
I figured it up, and basically if you buy fromh Amiami, and it ships at 6800jpy, you're basically looking at $215usd. May as well buy it from US retailers at that point.
>>5292156
LOL yeah
I should have saved my time with the Scattershot review, it's no less disappointing as I expected it to be.
Do I need to seal reprolabels? I have some on Swerve that are coming a little loose despite being put on meticulously.
>>5291321
I pre-ordered on AmiAmi, there's no turning in back.
got my Tracks today, so grossly incandescent!
>>5292174
That's what I did. Just waiting on the PE parts.
>>5292213
Meant to add that even with paying for the PE parts it's still cheaper and gives them what takara is giving anyways.
>>5292207
Is he really mediocre meh as people claim?
I'm fine if he's simplistic and doesn't make me fear I'm gonna break shit while transforming.
>>5292221
He is excellent in my eyes, I had no problems transforming him he is great in poses not fragile, he is quite dashing all around well worth purchase.
>>5292095
>3 minutes to finish reviewing the box

>>5292221
I love him. A lot of the complaints I've heard are from people who probably can't transform a folding chair. Only undeniable problem is his open back area, but it person it really doesn't look bad unless you stare directly down into it. His knee and elbow joints are a little restricted, but not bad by any means. His ankle joints are wonderful. His flight stand makes him infinitely fun to pose.
I think a lot of hate comes from people who just want to bash the new designer's efforts. If we hadn't been told, most people probably wouldn't have guessed.
>>5292250
He looks on model to me and better than the RTS one, so I'm not sure why tf fags are so salty over this.
>skipped Hotspot when I saw him in walmart for $20
>don't know if they still have him in stock
I kinda want to go out and look for one but I'm kinda paranoid about the whole bombing thing lately that I try to stay away from places with a lot of people.

>>5292250
From the thumbnail I literally thought that was a G1 screencap
>>5292256
I've heard a number of weird problems. Some just say he doesn't match the "look" of the rest of the MP cars, but... Tracks was always a different-looking robot. It suits him. If they're talking about how slender he is, that really suits him, too, especially given the proportions of the Corvette C3.
The rest of the complaints are usually people citing something extremely minor as though it completely ruins what is, otherwise, the best portrayal of Tracks that I've ever seen.
>>5292261
Highly ostentatious. Love it.
Also, in that video, what the hell is he talking about with the backpack not being able to look like the box? Does he not understand it has to do with the angle of the photograph and Tracks' torso, and not the positioning of the backpack itself? And at the end he just prattles on about how he doesn't think any of the joints are going to "hold up" over the years? As far as MPs go, Tracks has some of the tightest joints ever. Some of mine are even too tight.
>>5291774
I'm glad I didn't get CW Prime and some 3rd party stuff to go with him now.
>>5292279
I like MP Bumblebee, so I probably will like him.
>>5291774
Woah wait, that looks like a heavy remold of the recent Ultra Magnus.
>>5292285
I find it really hard to rate the MPs. I like them all. They all have their little foibles, but none of them detract from the overall quality enough for me to say that one mold is explicitly worse than another. I'm also a total faggot for licensed alt. modes.

again
>>5292293
The only ones I really hated were MP Rodimus and Megatron and the seekers but only because they were all kinda fragile or overly complex.
I don't get the guff Tracks gets from transfags, it looks like the fucking animation model and has better proportions than the RTS did.
So, anybody see any CW Sky Lynxes out in the wild yet?
>>5292305
Not until next year m8
>>5292301
Ah. I actually don't own any of the pre-MP-10 figures besides MP-01. Megatron, Starscream and Roddy were a hot mess, and Grimlock was too small next to Prime. I also wasn't a fan of his gray plastic.
I still hunt for MP-08X Grimlocks, and I've pre-ordered MP-11T to see how the mold is. I've heard people say everything about those molds, from being old and busted crap to being the greatest Transformers ever, so yeah, we'll see.
>>5292300
Nothing we haven't seen yet.
>>5292305
You aren't seeing him until March/April next year.
I fucking wish Scattershot had been pushed back in favor of Sky-Lynx, but that didn't happen.
>>5292308
Grimlock is great as long as it's the original releases and not that crappy AoE Re-release.
Not touching the second seeker mold, I have no interested in it.
Soundwave I never played with but the legs make me uneasy and then having to chase after all his cassette pals unless you buy bootlegs.
>>5292300
They won a pig contest.
>>5292353
>crappy AoE Re-release
Fucking this. I can't believe how many people bought it, said it was "great" and failed to mention the fucking thing is such a floppy mess it can barely support itself.
>>5292177
Glue stick.
>>5292358
Oh. Mine doesn't have any problems. That was the most recent TRU reissue? I didn't know that was a thing. Huh.
>>5292261
Baltmatrix is low hanging fruit.
He is a fucking idiot.
Is RTS Turbo Tracks really better than the MP?
>>5292378
Yup. Kobayashit screwed up again. The MP is actually the worst version of Tracks ever. Also, it gave me cancer.
>>5292378
If you can believe that, then believe me when I say that the G1 mold is better than RTS Tracks.
Is there anything I can try to do to force myself to like the movie aesthetic? Because I should have already accepted it by now that Bayformers IS Transformers and no other part of the franchise actually matters. Bayformers is the biggest part of the franchise and hs been the entire core of it for a while.
G1 and Beast Wars only lasted 3 years each. Meanwhile, there's plans to keep doing the movies for a whole other decade. Everything before is just a relic of the past and their its legacy dwarfed by Bayformers. They're basically retroactively spin offs now.
Everything else in the meantime is just spin offs, accessory tot he movies, often borrowing stylistically form them. Even though I like Prime (despite Beast Hunters having some of the ugliest toys/designs I've ever seen in my life) and RiD 2015 and thus can tell myself I'm not a curmudgeon stuck in the past, I really can't adapt or accept the reality
I feel old and disposable.
So yeah, is there a certain mindset I can put myself in so I can like the movie designs and the movie toys? Or hell, just the movies in general? I keep falling asleep whenever I try to watch them.
>>5292397
>So yeah, is there a certain mindset I can put myself in so I can like the movie designs and the movie toys? Or hell, just the movies in general?
Do yourself a favor and just ignore it if you don't like it. I know I do. The movies have all the appeal of a wet shart, though some of the cartoons aren't so bad.
The Bayformers look like walking shitpiles of over designed trash. I honestly can't believe it was even called Transformers, because beyond the names, it has nothing to do with anything Transformers.
The Prime/RiD stuff has the creepy, flat, noseless faces that for some reason they like using, and spindly limb design or sharp, stylized designs. What they fail to realize is while that looks OK in cartoons, it looks like shit on an actual toy.
Stick to Generations and IDW stuff. Thats what people who like the older designs get.
>>5292393
The G1 mold is actually one of the better G1 Autobots out there. Held up really well. I liked the RTS mold as Wheeljack, but never cared for Tracks.
>>5292397
Only a fucking transfag would legitimately ask if there was a way they could force themselves to like something. Holy fucking shit, man.
>Bayformers is the biggest part of the franchise and has been the entire core of it for a while.
So? That doesn't mean the other parts don't exist.. Unless there is a current movie, 90% of the toy output is generations stuff. G1 is getting some of the best toys ever through the MP Line. The RiD show is continuing the Prime universe, and the comics, love 'em or hate 'em, are trudging along with some of the most varied and interesting G1-based stories ever seen. But you feel that just because something financially makes up most of the franchise, you need to force yourself to like it? Jesus.
I have never said this and meant it more than I do now: You are a fucking autistic retard.
>>5292397
Seems like you have a hard time because you like to invest in the media tie-ins. Not that it's wrong. It's just difficult for a TF collector because the media tie-ins are often shitty. Even the G1 cartoon wasn't that good to begin with.
I find myself largely ignoring the >>>/co/ stuff and just enjoy the toys for what they are. Undoubtedly there's still plenty of shitty toys but there's also a good balance of creative designs out there.
>>5292410
RID is pretty much ending after season 2 and the movie. It looks like it's pretty much a stopgap while they reorganize and plan for a new TF series.
>>5292425
I really wish they would get their heads out of their asses and figure out that we don't need 3 or 4 lines of toys on shelves at once. My local stores still have movie 4, so with CW, RID, and playskool shit it's a bit much. The new show doesn't need to be a movie prequel, it needs to tie into the fucking mainline of toys, and all the toys on the shelf need to be compatible. The Rescue Bots shit needs to be more like those South American simple formers, the ones that lacked knees, but should look perfectly fine displayed with my generations or whatever the main series is. What's up with 1step and 3step changer shit, are these made because big box retailers (WalMart) force Hasbro to make them despite that shit never really selling ever and always going on super clearance? Stop making that shit, make better looking baby's first transformers playskool shit, stop giving the cartoon characters such dumb faces so they work with generations, fix the look of the next movie so that it fits in with generations as well. I would be so fucking broke.
>>5292440
This has more to do with Brian Goldner's leadership and moving Hasbro towards dealing in entertainment properties and less in toy design and manufacturing.
>>5292397
>That gif
Did Cliffjumper turn into a rock because he was voiced by the rock?
>>5292221
Absolutely mediocre. He feels unfinished and cheap. People saying he's good are in pure denial. They probably don't have a lot of money so they refuse to admit they made a bad decision by buying him. Go take a look at some TF boards, you'll notice that 90% of the pro Tracks are the usual shills.
>>5292472
>He feels unfinished and cheap
How about you elaborate on those points a bit? you sound like a tool when you dont do that

Funpub has no QC. You should have known about this. At least they didn't steal your credit card number.
>>5292536
Most banks will give you a temporary cc number for online purchases, everyone should use this to their advantage when dealing with funpub.
>>5292526
Did you ask them to fix it? Their replacement and exchange practices aren't bad, if you contact the right person.
>>5292523
I got one of these recently too. On mine the backpack that folds out into the rear wheel covers doesn't sit flush, so if i have those out the middle wheels won't roll. Is that an issue of the mold or did i just get unlucky?
>>5292560
Better than actual Hasbro, as it turns out, Hasbro will want you to mail them the whole fucking toy and send you back whatever they want to. Friend of mine sent in a combiner wars deluxe and got back a RID warrior.
>Close enough!
So this just turned up on twitter
>>5292592
I wonder if takara would make a g2 bruticus set...

>>5292592
I might have to pick him up.

They usually seem to be on the ball with a lot of the rumours, also Hasbro did at one point express interest in Liokaiser so it's not completely impossible or improbable.
overall some pretty nice shit.
>>5292688
Its hasbro's g2 set, what did you expect?
Only reason we got slingshot with superion is its not an exclusive mold/he was part of the original crew.
Blast off in hasbro's eyes is "good enough" via name alone.
TLDR its a repaint of a g1 named crew in g2 colors
So the limbs for Defensor is on sale at TRU canada for 10 bucks each, should I get them since I always see them scalped for triple their price nowadays and I don't have a Hotspot though.
>>5292708
yes
>>5292101
>G2 shuttle Blast Off
>G2 deluxe Groove
Yeah. That's a real fucking kick in the nuts. I like how Hasbro is consistently not giving us proper versions and we have to pay significantly more to get them. What kind of message does this send to them? That they could charge us more money just for doing their job properly. If those were domestic products they'd be significantly cheaper, but if they were "collector" figures. Just as long as they don't get stupid about what a "collector" figure is, like they did with those Hasbro Toyshop Universe Collector's Edition figures. Plus if it were remolds, they would have been planned into the budget from the beginning, so charging more would be just because they could.
>>5291774
They better remold Minimus Ambus into the smaller Optimus to resemble the G1 toy, and make a separate Hi-Q figure that works like an actual powermaster.
Something tells me they're just gonna skip the powermaster-function and remold Minimus into Hi-Q though.
>>5291774
Welp, guess we have to wait for 3rd party to get a transforming cab.
>>5292719
>>5292089
That would be really neat, then the fourth member could be Scourge.
>>5292709
And I just ordered it. Now I just have to look for a Hotspot, hopefully I still find some at Walmart.
>>5291963
Honestly Vortex mold is so close to a shuttle already I'm surprised they didn't just do that
>>5292440
I was going to say there wasn't enough difference in quality between RID and CW, but it's just that CW is so mediocre that the gradient between CW-RID-RescueBots is so small.
I agree with the 1-3-step changers. Old Go-Go-Gobots were pretty fucking awesome for both kids and adults.
but I don't think Hasbro's so much making a mistake as a planned move to sell garbage. The cynic in me thinks investors are just trying to squeeze the last drops of money from a sinking ship instead of trying to prolong the profits at a lower rate that's not always increasing. I hope I'm wrong, but Hasbro is big. I even saw a comment including them in a hollywood conspiracy theory involving Disney, and while I didn't put enough stock in it at the time, it does add to the feeling that Hasbro's just another typical business that just happens to have good PR, and a kind of golden age of products there for us for a while.
>>5292731
You forgot to put a pointless image!
Poor show.
>>5292727
I thought that, too, but that would require remolding the hell out of something to make the futuristic/cybertronian jet design. Of course one could hope that could be an excuse to make another figure for another combiner that is missing its futuristic jet limb.
>>5292760
I have to wonder why name/tripfags would continue to proudly display their name, even when met with this endless derision.
They truly must be retarded.
On topic here, what is included with the current wave of RiD legion class bots, for some reason they tempt me and might chase up a strong arm.
Something is wrong with me lately, i used to hate this small shit, even worse, its RiD related
>>5292809
Not him but I do understand the mentality.
For a select few it forces them to be more responsible for their post to stop shitposting tendencies, others just like to be special.
We already have a few who post like that like sing song and jesus dashboard, least this guy post on topic without any babble.
Although some guys just imitate the later when they just post the phrase and nothing else.
Regardless if we keep talking about this behavior the more attention it gets, its just fucking letters on a screen, until we can digitize our fist through screen's this pointless banter is truly pointless.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>5292809
Attention whoring.
It's real.
All of it. (not abominus or liokaiser tho).
OMEGA SUPREME 2017
>>5292826
Fuck your Reee.
I just cancelled some choro Q transformer pre-orders and now hasbro is trying weird shit too
>>5292826
Too bad this won't be available by itself.
>>5292826
>>5292837
Fuck I'm so angry I forgot to post big headimus
>>5292826
They totally mistransformed him.
Notice his leg.
I want it so bad
>>5292838
It's the same Aerialbot mould everyone is bitching about. I don't mind it but I laugh when you all think it's fine.
I like how Hasbro can't even put the legs together properly though.
Oh look, artwork of fortress retoolimus.
Still gonna get it provided that its alt modes are good homages
>>5292841
>This used to be ultra magnus
Takara work your magic and I'll give you my sheckles.
As long as hi-q/ginrai isn't just a repaint of minimus ambus
Brawl confirmed for no fix in sight.

Great, another replacement to my list childhood toy collection.

I do want a new Deathsaurus toy, but that's just ridiculous.
>>5292855
>>5292854
The ginrai/hiq in this is set is a headmaster now, so its close but not quite.
>>5292849
What's broken?
>>5292862
>LOL so the cab doesn't even turn into its own robot.
Well, seeing as how it's a retool of Magnus, that was never going to be the case. I'm glad you've caught up with the rest of the class.
>>5292865
There was a review of an early access of Brawl, which showed his robot mode having it so his waist doesn't peg into anything, making it very floppy.
>>5292788
They would probably go for a remold of Skydive, since his body type looks very similar to Generations Scourge.
>>5292841
>those forearms
Holy
Shit
Hasbro
>With the epic Titans Return chapter of the Generations Prime Wars Trilogy comes a new line of Titan Class toys. It’s about time these legendary, city sized Titans hit shelves. Fortress Maximus will lead the release, and we need YOU to choose his successor. Scorponok, Trypticon and Omega Supreme will be stumping for your vote this week.
>Get ready to go to our page on Tuesday, November 24th and cast your vote on the official voting post!
>>5292872
Will this mean one of the Titans will be made and the other two are shit-out-of-luck, or they merely getting released later down the pipeline?
>>5292872
It means they're doing all of them. All the vote is doing is deciding the release order.
>>5292869
Holy fucking hell, that's disgusting
>>5292872
I just realized that Scorpionok would be a retool of Metroplex yet again.
People should choose Trypticon or Omega Supreme then.
>>5292536
Funpub uses the same factories as Hasbro, genius.
>>5292881
>they all end up being retools of metroplex
>>5292878
It's not hollow plastic, they're honeycombs for storing energon goodies.
>>5292881
You couldn't reuse the robot legs, so at that point I don't think they'd bother with a retool.
>>5292887
*Energon goodies not included.
>>5292889
Because he ate them all. Where did you think Fatimus started out?
>>5292888
Hasbro finds a way.
>>5292872
Trypticon, oh yes!
>>5292854
Anon, I would use it anyway. All I have that survived my childhood is PM Primes head. It is displayed like a severed trophy with my figures. I thought about making a spine to hang from it for Brainstorm & Perceptor to study. An new version of PM Prime, though not perfect, is welcomed to me. Maybe Takara's version will add things to make it true to the original but I like this design all the same.
Does this mean Headmaster Darkwing and Dreadwind later on that can dock?
>>5292872
Guys, let's please just vote for Trypticon, alot of people have wanted him ever since War for Cybertron came out.
I love the other two, but Trypticon is just so cool
>>5292673
There better also be Leozack
I need him
>>5292841
For me the unnecessarily hollow arms hurt and the fact he's a headmaster than a powermaster...but I can live with this.
If takara can do a redeco with blue forarms I'm so in
>>5292907
But Scorponok is bae.

A vintage PMP is $50 loose complete you can easily buy one of those.
>>5292846
I honestly don't care. I don't own any of the aerial bot molds and I think that color scheme is fucking rad.
Trypticon should win. Omega Supreme already has the YotS toy and Scorponok has the Botcon toy. Trypticon hasn't gotten ANYTHING since the G1 toy, official or third party, and Titan Metroplex still needs his Decepticon couterpart.
>>5292914
Well I wouldn't have complained if I didn't own a G1 Ginrai you know but alas I own one so I would obviously compare it to the original one when it comes to the gimmicks since the Generations win in articulation any day unless Takara releases an MP Super Ginrai.
>>5292918
>Omega Supreme already has the YotS toy
That is a shit toy, and you know it.
>>5292918
Tell that to the masses.
I worry, trips SHOULD be the rightful winner, the problem are the masses throwing their votes away.
I'll vote, but I won't hold my breathe
>>5292914
>Look at these babies! They have standards! Enjoy saving money, LOSERS!
Hasbro Defense Force arrives in the nick of time, once again.
>>5292910
What's wrong with brawl? the waist?
>>5292918
Omega is pretty much guaranteed to win since Hasbro has decided to recruit Chinese scab voters to dilute our voice in this electoral process.
So even when they are retools, Ultra Magnus and Powermaster Optimus Prime can't share gimmicks?
Ayy
>>5292921
You are shit.
Get over it.
It's a good toy.
>>5292930
Magnus doesn't have a gimmick other than being a transformer.

What a surprise
>>5292927
From what we can tell so far.
>>5292914
What's the point in redoing something, and making it less?
Not worth it.
>>5292929
Why would they want omega anyway?
>>5292872
I really hope Trypticon's head has a cockpit for legends figures.
>>5292939
Because he is g1 (and part of the origina g1 cast) and to that generation, the original g1 cartoon is to them what Star Wars is to many Americans.
>>5292949
But they're all G1.
>>5292950
There is optimus prime g1 and "everything else" g1.
Now I understand why they'd want omega and it dissapoints me
>>5292872
VOTE FOR TRYPTICON YOU FUCKERS
Omega is going to win. If it were just Trypticon or Scorponok going against him, they might have a chance, but Omega is too iconic, splitting the vote between two others is going to give him the win. I'm still voting for Trypticon though.
>>5292952
And then theres "Japanese G1" which, to dumbasses, isn't actually G1
I can't believe Masterpiece Star Saber caused so much shit flinging from you monkeys. I thought people liked Star Saber
Can 30 Metroplex assume the the city mode of the original?
>>5292973
Have a gander.
I leave mine in transport mode 24/7
>>5292968
I didn't really even know him at the time since I was just getting back into TFs when he got announced but I bought him cause he looked cool and he's now one of my favorite TF characters ever.
>>5292809
You could try not reading the namefield? I don't even notice half the time until you retarded anons start posting attention whoring copypastas and bringing attention to someone using a name.
>>5292973
Nope.
>>5292973
>>5292975
what the fuck i hit upload
>>5292965
You and me both. Goddamn, I want a good Trypticon. Not to mention we've had a passable version of Omega made recently in the Year of the Snake 2013 edition, Scorponok's had presence in multiple series, but Trypticon's always the last one to get anything.
>>5292841
>those forearms
I always wanted a toy that would double as a bookshelf.
>>5292935
He has Minimus Ambus piloting his chest. That's pretty gimmicky. Isn't that Brainmasters or something?
>>5292965
>Omega is going to win
Dont know about that my man. Word searching Omega on the comments gives me 68 results, while Trypticon gives me more than a 100 results.
I really hope Trypticon wins!
>>5292841
What can we assume takara would do differently for him and leader blaster?
I assume ginrai blue arms for prime, but what about blaster?
