Wanna know what sucks EVEN MORE? Animated DID get a supreme class toy... albiet, of Optimus prime...
Shake my head...
Got Shock in the mail yesterday and Warpath at Kmart $7.50.
Shock is awesome (even with a loose left leg) and I've already shave the other peg a bit which makes him even better.
Warpath wasnt a must, but I like him, the mold, and the sale price so why not?
They're great desk bots for work until I get the limbs for Cyclonus and use Shock as the gun.
Now for a legends Soundwave...

What figure is the Toyota truck?
>>5335815
I wouldn't call his reviews any better than anyone else. Annoying splash screen with guitar riffs and screaming? Holy fuck, my ears.
You want to be a good reviewer, all you need to do is three things:
1: Cover the articulation of the figure (which includes transformation)
2: Cover the colors/paint/accessories/minor bits
And finally, the hardest fucking part, the one thing almost every fucking reviewer fails at:
3: Don't be an autistic shit. No skits, no ads sucking cock for random sites, no screaming retardation, no voices. Review the fucking figure objectively, and shut the fuck up.
>>5335831
Yeah didnt see that when I posted sorry bout that.
>>5335832
His reviews are better than most though. He gets to the fucking point. None of that dragged on bullshit. Nobody should take more than 10 minutes for a deluxe. Most don't even need 10 minutes
>>5335824
Balts tf reviews are generally pretty quick. Why I started seeking his out if available. That and his visual quality is nice.
>>5335832
Thew hits all 3 of those rules you set for yourself. His splash screen is an intro with the appropriate amount of screen time. Sorry you don't like rock.
>>5335847
Not with his constant interrupts with meme-tastic text stylings. Thats filed under autism and fails, miserably.
>>5335763
>Shock is awesome (even with a loose left leg)
I'm beginning to think this is a mold issue. Mine had somewhat loose legs, and other Anon's have said the same. I gave him the pledge treatment though and it fixed it with no troubles.
>>5335856
You mean the split second of text? That bothers you that much? And youre calling him autistic?
>>5335832
>2: Cover the colors/paint/accessories/minor bits
there have to be limits though- is it necessary to describe the colors in detail when I am looking at the damn thing? I have seen reviewers do this, why? They are showing it off, I don't need it described.
Same for accessories- show, don't tell.
>>5335858
Yeah I'm not too worried. I've got the stuff I need to fix it, just haven't wanted to put him down yet. I can't really find much to complain about with him. I mean I'd like waist articulation, but that's just because I like articulation. He's still a great figure. I like having him next to my cyberverse prime shockwave.
>>5335860
Why should there be a place in reviews for split second text interrupts? What does it add? It's not funny, thats for sure. It's not to highlight anything about a figure.
It doesn't belong.
>>5335838
No worries, all good.
>>5335864
He's really an amazing little figure. I love him so much so far. I'm constantly torn between having him in gun mode for my gestalts and having him in robot mode for posing though.
>>5335861
Yeah, just pointing out the bits you can't immeadiately see, showing off the weapon and where it goes if it has some unusual tricks to it should be enough (like the various extra plug in options for the combiner's handfoot guns that some have, like Sunstreaker and his engine).
>>5335865
You do realize his split second text screens are usually about the figure right? Mainly lightpiping. Are you even trying?
>>5335872
Both molds are super fun.
His "aircraft" mode reminds me of some motorcycle type sci-fi vehicle, but I can't remember what.
>>5335879
And why does it need a split second interrupt and screaming and text?
Oh right, it doesn't. Just say it in the review. The review doesn't need a cut-in like it was a shitty anime.
>>5335883
Both modes*
>>5335883
It reminds me a lot of his FoC version, which I think is good. It's a nice bridge from the G1 lasergun mode. Hell, in most iterations it basically IS the G1 lasergun except minus a handle and plus wings.
>>5335884
I see you don't like sudden loud noises and environmental change.

Wasn't that your argument from your very first post?
Please read the article, kid.
>>5335888
Yeah it's reminisecent of the FoC one, but I swear I've seen a motorcycle type vehicle similar. Like the seat was around where his scope thing is.
I can't remember if it was a movie, anime, or game. And no I don't mean the akira bike.
>>5335898
Theres a lot of fiction out there with bikes of a similar design. I can think of a few off the top of my head.
I really need to get some figure stands for my flying figures, waiting for BBTS to get in more of the Act 5's since they sell them pretty cheap.
Helicopter shoulders...
>>5335763
>>5335883
Yep. Shockwave is my favorite legends out of Thrilling 30/ CW.
>>5335963
Or car shoulders?
>>5335963
They certainly are. Did you know you can switch limbs around on the combiner wars gestalts?! Crazy, huh.
>>5335966
Which do you think looks better though?
>>5335967
Go ask /co/ since you're not asking about the toy.
>>5335891
Fandom in a nut shell
>>5335971
I was asking about the toy, it's just that I don't think I've seen any pics of the toy with the copters as the arms. All the in-hand stuff at conventions as been using the cars.
>>5336066
Okay well then we don't know which we prefer yet then since the comic version is very stylized.
>>5335884
Actually, in terms of presentation composition, breaking it up like that is nice. It makes the 12 minutes seem shorter than it already is, and it refocuses the viewers attention if they happened to drift between segments.
>>5336066
There haven't been any 'in hand' pics show up yet. It's like even the thieves at the factories know Vicky is worthless.

For what? who its supposed to be? also CW Ironhide head doesn't look that good on Swerve, he looks too young. I swaped Swerves head for cybertron Smokescreen to make a Smallfoot.
mfw I lost Shockwave's right arm even though I just kept him in my pocket all day out and about. HTS is sold out too.

>>5335832
>Cover the colors/paint/accessories/minor bits
TJOmega really emphasizes this in his reviews and it draws the review out and makes them kinda boring.
Speaking of head swaps, what would be a good stand-in for Skullgrin's original toy head for the CHUG figure? So he looks like a robot and not a bull's skull head?
>>5336240
He looks too generic, any bot withouth visor/mouthplate could work, straight swap cw wildrider, or if they fit classics Sideswipe/Redalert or universe Blades/Springer, maybe rts Breacher or gen Orion Pax.
>>5336235
Well it is TJ. He can't do much right except be the stereotypical basement dwelling loser.
>>5336152
>Strip Red paint off First aid's torso
and... HOW do you do that?
Any new CW Menasor Add-on kits? I refuse to settle on the "LOTS AND LOTS OF GUNS AND TRUCK WINGS but no real hip articulation" one.
>>5335964
He's pretty excellent. The legends line is kicking the shit out of the bigger releases right now. These two are great together. Probably my favorite molds of Megatron and Shockwave together.
>>5336446
Is that the takara megatron?
>>5335832
>no ads sucking cock for random sites
Nothing wrong with making a little profit
>>5336458
Yeah. I love him. Goes great with the Takara Legends Optimus, too.
>>5335856
Let's see your perfect reviews then.
>>5336426
Your only other option is to buy a Lone Wolf, the third party Motormaster that is compatible with cw, he looks tiny in altmode, but has a decent botmode and torso mode.
>>5336090
>Vicky is worthless.
So in other words, she's exactly like the fandom.
>>5336426
If you have the fixed hips or UW version he's honestly not that bad as long as you respect that he is a top heavy motherfucker and don't try to put him into poses that will cause him to do a header off your toy shelf to floorsville.
>>5336446
America needs an Animecolor reissue of that Megatron mold
And even though Warpath is a remold, he looks better than the original "Miner" color Megs. And it's still a nice figure to use as Warpath
>>5336484
>And even though Warpath is a remold, he looks better than the original "Miner" color Megs.
Miner Megs is a perfect example of a good mold being ruined by a shit deco. It wouldn't have been a bad toy at all if they had gotten the colors better. Instead they used that awful beige which is possibly the worst-looking plastic I've ever seen, and the paint on the forearms they tried to match colors with just ended up looking pink. It was a mess.
>>5336494
As a figure the warpath version is just fine. As a warpath though it's a bummer. Misses the best feature anoiy the character. I've considered cutting the gun up and gluing it to his chest, but then no more tank mode.
>>5336498
>It wouldn't have been a bad toy at all if they had gotten the colors better.
But the paint didn't affect the actual figure so it's the same figure as takara legends megs.
>>5336484
I just can't understand how you are ok with those proportions, love is blind indeed.
>>5336509
Yeah.
I configure my Battle Core Optimus (as well as my Menasor) with legs like this.
>>5336509
It's not like I can change it, so I'm forced to accept it. He is what he is. The last Menasor I owned was the G1 one as a kid. And I only started my current collection a few months ago, so it's not like I have anything to compare this one to besides the figures I currently own, and my own memories of the generally unarticulated bricks that were G1 toys.
>>5336514
How do you do that? Is he stable like that in an action-ey pose, or will he just not do poses when configured like that?
>>5336507
>But the paint didn't affect the actual figure
Except it did. It made it look like shit. And I like my figures to not look like shit, if possible.
>>5336522
Just buy the PE torso to fix him.
>>5336526
You're not getting what I'm saying. The paint didn't affect the figure at all. Still transforms, moves, and feel the same way.
Looks wise there is a difference in figures. Its still the same toy though.
>>5336522
Basically, what I did was transform him normally, but instead of turning his legs into stilts, I turned his waist backwards, folded his thighs backwards, then the legs downwards.
That way, his lower legs becomes the thighs
He does look good from the front (it helps to have the crotchplate cover up), but not so good from the side.
Simple poses can work, but more actiony poses can be a bit tricky. You may have to come to a decision: would you rather have aesthetics, or posibility if you can't have both?
>>5336532
But if I do that he loses pretty much all leg movement and definitely loses all hip movement. I don't really want to sacrifice that. I have been considering the set though, but I don't think I'd use the head that it comes with. I like the sword extension a lot, and I'm waffling on the whole "giant plastic diaper and back brace" thing.
>>5336540
I usually prefer posing. He does look better the closer you keep his legs together though.
Head swaps, you say?
>>5336549
It also helps he has actual feet.
Still, I get the feeling that Menasor is merely walking on stilts.
>>5335963
Heh, I like that Optimus is roughly Generations Legends size compared to the CW combiner.
>>5336549
It's the only downside to it but by that time you would have found a really cool pose to do with it.
>>5336498
It IS a good figure.
I was considering clipping the cannon barrel and fitting something on to make a shorter barreled cannon.
You can pivot the cannon up to make it look like he's gripping it like a rifle.
Also, if you have the rifle that some of the Micromaster gestalts like Sixtrain / Sixliner, Megatron / Warpath can hold it between his hands in tank mode
Has anyone updated the CW figure chart yet?
>>5336574
Well, anyone here have that PE kit and a bunch of photos of what they can do with it?
>>5336582
I had this one, don't think it's updated though.

I never said it didn't. But it still looks like shit.
>Looks wise there is a difference in figures.
Yes. One of them looks good. The other looks like shit.
>Its still the same toy though.
Functionally yes. Aesthetically, no. One of them looks like shit.

>>5336615
Are you retarded? He's saying the paint has ruined the AESTHETIC of the figure. Not that the figure is worse. Of course they're the same figure, one just looks worse.

>>5336643
Well yeah it will still have his thigh swivels and the knees would actually have to be used but that picture doesn't really do it justice. I actually left it at that pose after take the picture since it looks really cool in person and he is still menacing lol.

You're a fucking idiot.
If I have a cake, baked nicely and it's delicious and then dump salt all over it, it's still food. You could eat it. But it's ruined due to the salt. You could still eat it. But nobody would want to. See the analogy?
The paint on one of those figures is fucked up, so it ruins the figure. Not physically but appearance-wise. He never at one point meant that the toy is physically ruined by the paint and becomes a bad toy as a result, but that the paint makes it looks terrible, ruins the desire to own it because it looks bad. Nobody wants to own an ugly toys if it looks shitty, no matter how good the figure is.
>tfw too poor to buy MPs
>>5336631

>>5336663
Scrapheap
>>5336658
Wouldn't a better analogy be a good-tasting cake with awful decoration? Like, a delicious chocolate cake that has been made up to look like an actual pile of fecal matter.
The taste of the cake is compared to the quality of the mold, while looks are looks.
>>5336663
Ah I didn't know that. I rarely follow botcon stuff cause they're not my cup of tea. Still all are really cool. Have you done that Saber/Starsaber torso off the CW Silverbolt yet?
>>5336667
Rubbish
>>5336650
But that doesn't ruin a figure.
>>5336652
Got any more pics? From a few different angles?
>>5336670
The analogy of looks on a figure would be the taste of the cake. You don't NEED a toy to look good, if you absolutely needed to have a toy. To keep yourself entertained or whatever. Similar to how you wouldn't NEED a cake to taste good. If you were starving.
>>5336659
Sucks, anon. Others are going to shit on you, but 60 bucks can be a lot to spend on plastic in these trying times.
Could always go for the KOs. I don't personally endorse them, but you get a pretty decent rendition of the toy for around 30 bucks, in most cases. May require a little DIY tweaking/fixing.

>>5336683
No. Salt changes many aspects of the cake. It changes it from one flavor to another. Paint on a figure doesn't change the figure like you're saying.
>>5336687
Dumping salt over a finished cake wouldn't change anything except the flavor, fool.
>>5336691
Re-Cycle
All of these names are actually established and they're based on actual Junkion character models in the film.
>>5336692
I'm comparing an aesthetic in a toy (which is what people typically go for #1 in a toy) to taste in food (what is what people go for #1 in food).
Try to keep up.
>>5336693
Depends. Salt is visible so some of the looks may be different. The point is "dumping salt on a cake is the same thing as a figures paint job" is a stupid analogy. Especially when they could've used the obvious choice of frosting colors. That one makes way more sense.
>>5336694
Finishing off with Wreck-Gar, couldn't find any more head swaps.
>>5336696
It's pretty clear the anon you're trying to explain my original point to is so cripplingly retarded he cannot grasp the concept of judging one thing, cumulatively, on multiple points.
>>5336696
But taste and visual are so different. If you soak a steak in maple syrup it's going to change so much about the steak just like dumping salt on something sweet will change the flavor.
The point is that the paint scheme didn't ruin the figure because it didn't change the figure. Salt would change the cake. I mean c'mon. Realise you made a stupid analogy and move on.
>>5336703
Yet the first person said it ruined the figure. It didn't.
Y'all must be the same type of guys that think seeker figures are always different from each other.
Hey. Whatever makes you happier in your world.
>>5336697
Frosting color is a stupid analogy because the color won't impact the flavor too much, which is what would ruin the cake. Nobody is going to complain about a purple and green cake as long as it taste good. Aesthetic in general doesn't matter with food, therfore the analogy for aesthetic on a toy applies to taste in food.
>>5336704
You're not good at grasping comparisons.
>>5336707
...salt would change the cake from one thing to another.
The paint on that mold didn't change it from one mold to another.
Again. Bad analogy. You seem really upset you got called out on this.
ITT the autism is so thick, you could cut it with a knife!
>>5336682
This is practically how it looks in front.
>>5336718
And this is how I practically see it every time I turn around.
>>5336713
Two chocolate cakes. If you drop salt on the one on the left, and nothing on the right, they'd both be chocolate cakes. The only change would be the one on the left is ruined by the salt. They're both still cake, they're both still edible, the salt hasn't changed this.
Now the figures. Both the same figure, same parts, same mold. One matches due to plastic color choices, the other one doesn't match. The only change would be the one on the left is ruined by the mold color choices. They're both still figures, they're both still playable, the plastic color hasn't changed this. The mold color choices ruined one of these, FROM AN AESTHETIC STANDPOINT.
Now go be autstic somewhere else.
>>5336729
The old head yes you have to unscrew it, the new head just pops on.
>>5336724
But the cake isn't an aesthetic change. You are changing the flavor of it. The cake is the mold and the frosting is paint. The equivalent of dumping salt on a cake would be like adding pieces to the mold that affects articulation.
Again. You made a bad analogy. I get you want to argue this, but it doesn't work.

Personally I don't think groove looks all that great
>>5336733
Ah shit, that's probably going to be bad for me then. I don't really have a screwdriver tiny enough for that, and last time I attempted to unscrew anything transformer-ey, the screw was in so tight it literally ruined the screw head before I could even get the screw out.
>>5336749
Haters gotta hate.
>>5336751
You just need a decent small screw driver, you can find one in any hardware store and the screws usually on these CW figures are not that super tight. You just need to put the right pressure while unscrewing it.

The problem I have is that in bot mode you can't tell it's a police bike. I know that sounds stupid, but he sticks out from the rest of the team and just looks like a white bot with a weird vest/belt combo.

I didn't even think much of it when I got the figure since the only real reference I had was the illustration on the instructions, and that's hard to tell if it's red OR yellow.
Just one figure wouldn't be a problem, but hoping to get a fix from the company for something that's part of a gift set? I don't even know if it's possible!
Alternatively I could just man up and paint the visor myself. I've never painted anything before, though...
On the third hand, he's living his life at the moment as "Menasor's wanking arm", so the visor's a moot point.

But yeah, I don't have a screwdriver for something like that. Would a screwdriver from maybe a glasses repair kit do the trick? I'd probably be able to find something like that around here, maybe.
>>5336815
That's actually what I used cause it was the only thing handy and I didn't strip the screws at all. I got better ones but I was too lazy to look for one hence "Having a set of screwdrivers by yourside."
>>5336817
I guess I'll look for a eye glasses repair kit then next time I'm fishing around for shit, if I decide to get this upgrade kit. I've still got a whole set of Combaticon's+their hands to buy and thats gonna be expensive.
>>5336802
Perfect in scale too.

I was excited when he said there was a 3rd party Tailgate, but now I see it's just a Failgate.

To be fair, Baltmatrix IS a retard... so please keep that in mind when watching his reviews.

If Dead End wins the race will he feel better?
>>5336835
you've bested me good sir
>>5336802
This is adorable and you should feel adorable.
Post mistakes.
And, to be clear, I mean the whole Kreo line was a mistake, not just this one set in particular.
>>5336883
Thanks. I got a kinder suprise egg and the prize was a kit that converts one of the shell halves into a stroller.
>>5336909
Combiner wars, they fucked it up.
>>5336909
Kreo has the problem of the minifigs being too similar to Lego minifigs and it launched with Transformers that couldn't Transform so what was the point even? If they could make a minifig with a rudimentary transformation that had somewhat modular parts and sets that didn't blow, I'd buy them up. Seriously it could be as lame as a micromaster shell former but make it uniform enough that I can swap arms and legs and heads, even if that doesn't affect vehicle mode. Make them fit in with the other Transformers. The Kreo minifig guys can be their own characters and don't need to be Prime, Bee, Megatron, etc, because the Transformers name sells itself.
>>5336909
Power core combimers
>>5336909
I think kreo figures are fun little desk toys.
But here's my nomination for bad idea
I still believe these weren't meant to be TF characters, but somehow ended up that way.
>>5336943
When you think of Prowl you obviously think bright orange.
>>5336943
>I still believe these weren't meant to be TF characters, but somehow ended up that way.
That's the first thing I thought when I saw them. Featureless little clods, aren't they?
>>5336918
>>5336944
The guy on the right reminds me of Gutsman.

Thanks for sharing that. We've never seen menasor holding a gun before.
>>5336944
>>5336989
See. There's no way these were meant to be transformers.
Hell they have marvel versions and they look like themselves.
>>5336986
you're welcome :)
>>5336996
See that blue neck BB and Prool have? That's how far it pops up.
>>5336954
Not just that, distribution as well. I'm sure most people would rather get the stunticons than their autobot repaints (which is the case in Europe), Nobodies replacing the characters people actually want (Slingshot, Wildrider, Groove (as an actual limb, before somebody chimes in) and then making those characters hard to attain.
Also your image isn't the same issue as CWs one, it makes sense for all those characters to share a mold, whereas with CW, it was for cost reasons.
They screwed up, end of.
>>5336943
I actually like these little guys, they're pretty cute.
I don't think anyone actually bought any though.
>>5337006
Do you ever stop whining?
Serious question
>>5337009
Do you ever stop whining about whining?
Serious question
My Menasor's a bit overloaded with upgrades.
Perfect Effect hands and feet, and the Torso and sword upgrades, Nonnef's shoulder locks and hip ratchets (useless for Menasor after the PE torso upgrade but still good for Motormaster),
and Renderform's Eliminator Rifle
I won't say everything's perfect in paradise. Renderform's rifle is way too heavy and despite claims to the contrary, the PE hands REALLY don't hold it all that well. I typically have to find ways to support the rifle just to get it to hold it upright, but aside from that, I'm pretty happy with him as he is now. Just need some reprolabels.
I know the Decepticon logo (donated from CW Megatron) on Blackjack is offcenter, it's just not possible to center it with how Blackjack transforms (no cutting the decal doesn't work)
also screw you Offroad you suck as a limb.
>>5336654
>doesn't transform
Surprised him and Crow and Gypsy never cameoed in MTMTE. They would fit right in.
>>5337009
Yeah, when i'm sleeping.
>>5337021
I really regret not buying that Quickslinger and Breakneck during TFcon. The guys from The Chosen prime were selling BOTH to me for $64 Canadian.
>>5337032
/co/ had two whole threads of nothing but transformations from mtmte, there's a shitton. More than in exRiD even, surprisingly.
>>5337047
Quickslinger sucks but Brakeneck was definitely worth it.
>>5337052
Who would give up Scattorshot and the remolding on the 84 bots if it'd make each of the actual combiners limbs more unique? I know I would.
>>5335963
this comic doesn't make sense
how could the combiner's individual robots be bigger than optimus? Trucks are generally bigger than cars iirc
Any suggestions on what might be a good headswap for the upcoming UW Roller?
I think Armada Hoist coul work pretty well.
>>5337061
Mass Shifting. It's a well known thing in the fiction. Even the movie used that lore concept with the cube.
>>5337061
I have an idea that the stress of the combination process causes them to expand.
>>5337067
Are you kidding? just use Deluxe Skid's head. He's basically the same design as Roller
So third party knock off, but holy shit this Evasion mode enhancement.
>>5337087
>>5337081
I intended for Roller to look like Hoist actually, not to get a head accurate to his comic depiction.
But that sounds like a neat idea as well.
>>5337087
Man, I really wish he was a little bit smaller.
>>5337087
>Still didn't fix the elbows
Oh fuck it, everything else is amazing. I just wonder how the hell this thing is going to get sold. Online shops can get away with selling derivative bots, but this thing is full on unlicensed mold theft.
>>5336797
You forgot Grand Scourge in the CW Prime repaints. Otherwaise, ghud jerb.
>>5337061
Mass shifting is an inherent trait in combiners in IDW.
I've heard some parts are prone to breaking, like the fists. Is it true? I'm being careful with it, but some of the ratchets are just too strong.
>>5337127
I haven't heard anything about the fists, but his combiner head panel has been known to snap at the hinges.
>>5337114
I was mainly going for just the western repaints.
>>5337113
Most preorder prices aiming at 50-60 bucks. At this point only the arms and front/sides of the body are the only things reminiscent of the original mold. The legs and feet are slightly redone if you noticed the wheels and the back 's redone as well.
Lets Pretend takara gives a shit about what WE say and say what we want on our UW bruticus, we know they'd be striving for g1 accuracy and a proper blast off, but lets get really specific.
>Blast off being TOTALLY original and not a retool
>Regular retail release
>chest like pic related but with groove panels of original mold colored like hasbro and not solid color
>Painted hands+feet
>Longer, new combined rifle design so bruticus has proper built in artillery
>Painted silver head with a different grey for the mouth piece
>modified chest/turret section that can hide the newly colored head now that it can't hide in its rainbow filled coffin
>Fix brawl's ab "crunch"
>Give us "take off" with a detailed instruction sheet on how to demolish the toy physically via the use of pyro technics and explosives
...Yes I had fun with my wish list, one or 2 of these will be real, r-right?
>>5337188
You get a new blast off and a hybrid toy/animation accuracy
>>5337129
>tfw my Cyclonus has some bad stress marks there
Thanks new design team.
>>5336805
>the Stunticons getting along and having fun
What kind of alternate universe is this?
>>5337219
Well they did just fug up a race...surely they can all agree on fugging shit up yeah?
>>5337219
It's actually just Motormaster forcing them to pretend having fun.
Still not sure about getting Road Rage.
>>5337231
I need a decent shot of the red, from what I've seen its plain red plastic and not metallic.
Easier to handle in the long run but seems cheap, I'd be happier if it was glossy
>>5337233
It looks like just shiny red plastic.
I've heard of the Silverbolt stress issue. Would cutting those little tabs running up the "spine" on the Combiner head fix the stress issue?
They don't seem to do anything, except stress the pin that connects the "spine" to the Combiner head.
>>5337236
Has anybody ever used tfmasterpiece.com for buying figures? They have a 3 month payment plan that I'm eyeing for MP Shockwave, but I don't want to get screwed.
Groove or not, The paintjob on the Hasbro version is way better for Defensor and Hot Spot.
Cloud Shockwave is on sale on HLJ for about $30 america dollars for anybody interested in him.
You guys think this mold is worth $45 CAD?

>>5337231
when is that coming out?
>>5337087
I wish someone would KO the DX9 upgrade set for him too
>>5337332
The same can be said about almost all united warriors paintjobs, just the aerialbots have more paint details. Groove is a nice figure, just not enough to get the set again if you already have the american release.
>>5335731
for wat purpose
>and why do they look better that way???
>>5336769
>The problem I have is that in bot mode you can't tell it's a police bike.
Just like how you can't tell Prowl is a car in bot mode, yes?
>>5337391
You can tell Prowl is police themed. Dense?
>>5337336
Wait. Its just literally a purple whirl? They couldn't at least have given him a shockwave hand extension in place of one of the others?
