Hail to the king, baby! edition
Old Thread: >>5338014
>>5340738
I think one of them is going to come with Blaster, the other will be sold as a Legends figure?
>>5340749
Thanks man.
>>5340775
I'm not 100% sure, mind you. I just remember someone saying that in a thread. It might've been speculation.
never understood Grimlock or the Dinobots in general as being favorites
>>5340780
They'll probably stick one of the less popular guys with Blaster so you have to also purchase the one you actually want.
>>5340749
We don't really know if any of them come with the leader figure. I hope they do, but not figure was shown off with Blaster (Stripes, and Rewind regular releases).
Anyway, here's the list again:
-Rewind
-Eject
-Ramhorn
-Steeljaw
-Stripes
-Sundor (maybe?)
-Rumble
-Frenzy
-Buzzsaw
-Laserbeak
-Ratbat
-Ravage
>>5340788
Kids love dinosaurs. Kids love robots.
They're robot dinosaurs.
>>5340788
Kids, especially the tf demo of young boys, usually like dinosaurs. It just worked.
>>5340806
that's all well and good but they're retarded, sally
>>5340738
As Legends. Same as your Powerglides and Swerves
>>5340800
Forgot to mention that I'm hoping they're released in sets of 2, along with 2 "normal" legends figures.
If some of them do come included with figures, then 4 of them are probably going to show up packed with those, almost leaving us enough to release them all in one year without them cluttering up the Legends sections.
>>5340815
I am ok with this. I was thinking they might only be two packs again.
>>5340788
I absolutely adore the "mechanical beast" style g1 used for animal transformers. This includes everything from the Dinobots to the Seacons. It meshes so much better than the organic animal/mechanical robot thing that BW did, even though they were cool, too.
>inb4 "mechanical robot"
The transmetal robot modes had weird organic-looking qualities to them, that's why I said that.
>>5340825
Well, BW designs were inspired by The Guyver.
Another general already? We seem to be burning through threads like back in the good ol' days. I remember not too long ago, the monotony of CW had strangled the TF generals to death.
Anyway, I just got this guy in today. It's actually my first time buying the mold, and I was prepared to be unimpressed, but he's actually pretty excellent. Joints are tight, QC is good, and a lot of the issues I thought I would have with him from pictures don't really bother me in hand. Probably not worth the stupid import price, but TC has always been my favorite. Now I'm thirsty for more MP 'cons.
>>5340989
When Dirge comes out I'll spend too damn much importing him and then spend too damn much buying the American release so I know what you mean, everyone has a favorite seeker that they have a soft spot for.
Last thread had fixes for Brawl and the Motormaster/Optimus molds.
>>5340997
Good job, captain obvious.
>>5340907
Yes I do, but the thing is I figured I'd need about 9 bases (ie: 3 packs) to get good coverage overall for my flying bots. So only getting 2 is kind of a damper on that, but oh well, I'll get another at some other place at some point.
>>5340997
Here, freshly saved for you. The MM fix though I'm not bothering to save since it requires 3rd party stuff (or just buying the fixed hips version of him).
Finally got a hold of Megatronus at my TRU. I love it, but the wrists are so weak. Going to need to Pledge them.
Only thing I care about how is keeping my eyes out for the bruticus limbs.
>>5341025
Bruticus' limbs have been in stock on quite a few sites for MSRP for a while now. Why not just order it online?
It's Onslaught thats the real bastard to get ahold of, no one seems to have him yet, and places with preorders for him are sold out.
>>5341033
Because I'm unsure if I want the whole set. I'll be getting blast off (i have no connection to the g1 stuff and I don't have any aerialbot molds) and dwindle for sure and want to wait to see the other 2 in person before I make a final decision.
>>5341038
Ha. Meant Swindle.
>>5341044
I prefer to see in person. Plus if I do choose to buy I'll only be paying retail and its easier to return if needed.
And I own Blades. I gotta see it in person to see if owning the batshit colored chopper is worth owning the copter twice.
If I wanted them just for bruticus I would've bought the whole set online, but I just want them for Galvatronus so we'll see how I feel once I have them in hand.
>>5340813
Wait the kids or the dinobots?
>tfw Wei Jiang knock offs are of higher quality than the real thing
Why is this allowed?
>>5341063
Yes.
>>5341083
I was hoping for that answer.
>>5341008
that number crotch is stupid.
>>5340788
Most Dinobots fans are Americans. Kids and retards love dinosaurs. Do the math.
I need one more non stunticon decepticon for Galavatronus so far I got: Brawl, Swindle, and Offroad. I could probably get Blastoff or Vortex.
>>5340994
>When Dirge comes out
Don't count on it.
>>5341109
Trying to stir feathers during the dead hours of the TFG?
I tried to make Swindle a tie.
You know when you find something exists a moment too late to buy it?
Yeah...
>>5341124
Yeah. You should tell the third party general all about it!
>>5341118
Just stating some facts. Don't like it? Move along.
>>5341129
Oh so you are! I swear. You people and your attempts at trolling are so obvious lately. Work on your stuff.
>>5341104
Better to have number crotch than floppy top.
>>5341124
I missed out on it too, was gonna use with my regular Tailgate though. I didn't even know it was a thing till the dude had already quit taking orders.
>>5341152
Nah, just from the comics.
>>5341121
would look cool if it had, you know, a knot at the top.
>>5341152
It's tumblr's disgusting and creepy child faggotbot of the hour.
>>5341202
i still can't believe they made cyclonus a fagbot
>>5341112
There is hope thanks to mp11NR.
Ramjet is the hero we seeker fags need
Not bad. Not hollow either.
>>5341293
gun looks like shit and he has that ridiculous handle
>>5341293
A prototype of the leader class blaster?
Well, wouldn't expect much of him to be hollow since he's made with a base mode, its that powermaster optimus prime/ginrai that's a problem
>>5340894
>Well, BW designs were inspired by The Guyver.
Wait, is this confirmed? cause that's cool
>>5341296
Handle goes back further.
'Course I'm waiting to buy the Soundwave version of the mold which, ideally, won't have a handle.
>>5341124
You realize you can just buy it from Shapeways? Venksta put it up in two parts
www.shapeways.com/product/4P4UJDFNM/
>>5341208
Everyone is fagbot in IDW.
>tranny arcee
>horri-bull and needlenose
>tailgate and cyclonus
>rewind and chromedome
They then introduce a planet with fembots and made the fembots lesbians.
The only normal male-female couple are from the beast wars planet so they are furries.
>>5341369
Remind me why that hack Roberts gets so much praise?
>>5341372
He wears the much vaunted panda ring.
>>5341372
Fuck if I know.
Artemis Prime is still the best tf character of all time.
She wields the power of three matrixes and she single-handedly defeated Unicron for good.
Starscream is also deeply in love with her and the reason he wants to be leader is so he can surrender the decepticons to prove his undying love.
These stories are way better than IDW shit.
>>5341387
>She wields the power of three matrixes and she single-handedly defeated Unicron for good.
wow, so powerful. It's as if she has no weaknesses at all. so interesting, much intrigue
or is her weakness that she is so powerful that even her fellow autobots fear her?
>>5341391
Nah. Megatron fears her for real.
Her only weakness is that she cares for her troops so much that she tends to lose herself in battle defending them. This happened when she lead the wreckers to victory with zero casualties.
>>5340894
Blackarachnia was based off of an Asian stripper from Ontario or some shit though.
>>5341400
so strong, yet so caring.
It's as if you combined the best qualities of Jesus, Wolverine, and Superman and created an even greater hero.
/toy/ is really bad about trying to force memes.
>>5341406
Wait Let’s take Jesus off the dashboard.
Got enough on his mind. This is funny if it's true.
>>5341416
Well it's mentioned on TFWiki, and to their credit they are usually accurate, so...
>tfw I always found her voice and stripy claws hot as fuck even as a kid
>>5341369
Think of it this way: on a planet of 99.9% effectively immortal men how long would it take for things to get gay? Same goes for an all woman scenario.
>>5340989
But that awful fucking chest.
MP Starscream isnt a toy. It's a floppy disaster. Easily the worst Transformer I own.
>>5341292
There's no hope thanks to how long it took to sell out 2000 units.
>>5341485
It clearly varies on model to model. My Thundercracker is quite secure, unless I pick him up and shake him around by holding onto just his cockpit/fuselage bit.
Which version of the mold do you own? I've heard that the first MP-11 release is actually one of the worst, while most of the Asia-exclusive versions are pretty sturdy. The Hasbro ones are a crapshoot.
>>5341472
But lets be honest, we all know the reason why it's given so much focus and it starts with the letter T. Roberts comes from that group of people and as such it's going to reflect on the writing. I'm waiting for him to go full homestuck mode and dedicate an issue purely to explaining how relationships in transformers work.
>>5341504
Lmao, nun-Airazor.
>>5341507
They'll try again I'm sure, it'll be too much of a tease to just give out one of the conehead trio.
I know its not hasbro who supposedly promised to complete sets, I just have faith they'll try the other 2 eventually.
Maybe yearly, maybe a few years later, but eventually we'll see all 3.
I'm patient, especially my wallet
>>5341508
Asian Coronation Starscream.
Its not a tolerances problem; there's nothing on the toy's torso that actually pegs together.
>>5341513
I don't think it'll happen but I'd love to be proven wrong.
>>5341121
People were disappointed with swindle because he had "trypophobia triggering legs", or "he's too big", but you know what I didn't like? He doesn't have a cocky smile, or comes a huge weapon.
>>5341553
At least 2 3p add ons will como to "fix" that, just some clip on panels to fill the holes in the shins and a weapon to "justify" the price.
>>5341556
Where can I find these?
>>5341109
>>5341129
>>5341008
that's fantastic that there is a perma-fix. though i wish the numbers ween't molded there.
>>5341121
i'd rather have a bolo tie instead.
>>5341293
I'm liking what i'm seeing.
Canadian Walmart is offering G2 Superion sets apparently, for you Soviet Canukistanian's.
>>5341699
I gotta check this out.
I'm in Eastern Canada/Quebec, so not sure if I'll be that fortunate.
>>5341722
http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-7-in-1-superion-collection-pack/6000195422574
Even comes with G2 Powerglide.
>>5341743
Wow, the limbs all look the same
>>5341743
FU. CKING. DIS. GUS. TING.
>>5341767
Yeah, all of the G2 recolors are fucking hideous. Garish color combinations all around.
They should've also released an actual G1 set for the older waves in the US. it's ridiculous I can buy a UW Superion for a shitton less than getting a CW Superion due to scalping fucksticks.
>>5341743
>http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-7-in-1-superion-collection-pack/6000195422574
Slingshot should crumble by itself for maximum G2 accuracy.
>prices for the G2 sets will be $150, way more than buying the single component versions
I am refusing to pay that. I have seen so many complete loose sets in various BSTs for $60 or less, but even base retail would be under $100 for 4 limbs, torso and Legends extra bot. Hasbro is out of their fucking minds.
They've been out of their fucking minds for years, but this is actually dumber than I expected of them.
Maybe it's just as well, I half expect the gold Aerialbot to crumble into powder within 5 years. "We fixed the GPS issue" is not something I believe out of the Hasbro PR mouth since they're not the most honest voice.
>>5341472
they don't have sex organs or reproduce. Romance amongst them is pointless.
>>5341797
I feel the same about the Unite Wars sets
>>5341797
The link in this thread is Walmart Canada though, so maybe the pricing will be SLIGHTLY lower in the US
That said, the cost of things being what they are in america now is the reason I imported my UW sets.
>>5341817
no, it's already been confirmed that they will be $150 at TRU.
Even if it's $145 at Walmart, that $5 means shit. These should be $90 sets at most.
>>5341792
G2 colours never did anything for me. Except for Sideswipe. But that was a somewhat logical colour-swap.
>>5341797
$150 Canadian Maple Leaf Dollars you dolt
>>5341485
Apparently the Hasbro version of mp-11 starscream fixed that issue. Wish they actually made a decent amount so I knew first hand.
>>5341821
That TRU confirmation was from a Canadian TRU
>>5341792
>they should release an even more G1 set for these already G1 robots
This is why we can't have new things.
>>5341865
I like the shiny ones like Seaspray
WHEN THE FUCK IS TAKARA SHOWING OFF THEIR BRUTICUS?!
GET ONE WITH! SHOW US ANYTHING AT ALL!
>>5341911
I'm still waiting for TFSource to say "Your Defensor is shipping out". I can't even care about Bruticus yet.
>>5341743
I see they went for the MP Seeker look.
>>5341025
Bruticus limbs are out in evansville Indiana, no onslaught or shockwave yet
>>5341917
>those shoulders
>that dopey expression
My sides
>>5341874
Or wanting that could be because scalpers are raping your wallet if you want CW Superion and don't want to import a UW version.
>>5341921
I haven't been to Evansville in years.
>>5341930
Ok.
>>5341930
you should check it out. Place has really changed. It no longer feels like a burnt out VW bus decided to be a city. The mayor was last person anyone expected to make changes given his past affiliations, but it just goes to show you, sometimes you make mistakes so you can be the best you.
I have never been to Evansville.
>>5341940
I'm probably going to have to buy an Onslaught, and keep in box. If their Onslaught has a new deco (that's good), I'll keep the white chest Hasbro one.
If its the same, or almost identical, I'll trade it in for Sky-Lynx.
>Titans Trypticon comes out in 2017
>it's shit
Would prices for the Trypticon reissue be higher or lower than it is now?
>Titans Trypticon is amazing
What about then?
>>5341989
Trypticon's reissue is probably going to stay the same price forever unless Amazon price cuts the shit out of it. Two years later Predaking is still $100 so prob not.
>>5341867
Having already spent $200 on the toy, I'm unwilling to gamble on it again.
The CW Leader is a much better toy.
>>5341921
Preciate it. Im in Texas though. I'm not too worried. I usually see every figure in every wave not long after release. Then they just pegwarm for a bit. So just keeping an eye out.
Megatronus was the figure I was really hunting for. Was annoying seeing everyone get him and my TRU still sucking.
>>5341921
I'm in Southern Illinois, near St. Louis. 2 Walmarts in my area had the combaticons. No onslaught or shockwave as well.
>>5342057
I'm in the Tri-State area of WV. May god have mercy on my soul. Never saw the wave 3 deluxes and the only CW stuff at most nearby stores are Legends guys and a few Silverbolts and Armada Megs.
The Huntington Mall Wal-Mart tends to get decent stuff sometimes, though. I scored a Waspinator, Arcee, and Brainstorm there just a few days before Christmas. Haven't been there in a while, though, and I still need my damn Protectobot limbs.
Ah well, at least there's BBTS and Amazon...
>>5342067
Defensor limbs luckily aren't that expensive usually, last time I checked. You should be able to find him for a good price.
>>5342070
Annoyingly, Protectobot "The Ol' Nigga Grave Digga" Rook is going for $20 on some sites. Might just order the 4 as a set on BBTS, as the Amazon prices are going up again.
>>5342081
Long as BBTS has them for MSRP you're not losing out on anything but shipping really. Thats not that bad for an older wave.
>>5342089
HTS also has them on eBay for ~$68 total and free shipping. Should I go for that instead of BBTS's?
>>5342092
Given BBTS probably has them for 66+shipping, yeah probably sounds like it should come out to less?
>>5341792
>>5341796
>>5341797
yeah i'm skipping Superion. Menasor though I want...but only on sale.
>>5342115
>Expensive TRU exclusive
>On sale
They will either rot on shelves for years, or will be put in the back and disappear.
Takara, you madmen.
>>5342133
>>5342138
>>5342139
>>5342092
I'm looking on their eBay and don't see this at all.
Saw a Warrior Fracture at Target today. Didn't realize those were coming out already. If only I had money, but I had just bought Clash Megatronus.
>>5341867
I would need a review to verify that shit.
>>5342200
I got fracture from HTS the other day. Pretty cool figure, but I own both and I'll say you got the better of the 2.
>>5342205
Oh, I completely forgot about the HTS release. I was searching Fractures on Amazon and eBay and got nothing, and saw no sightings on Seibertron. I was seriously about to roll all the way back up there and pick it up with savings money.
>>5342133
I'm gonna have to buy this fucking thing.
>>5342138
Unicron: I will resurrect them in the form of other Combiner components because I can.
>>5342224
He had to, the rest of his body was destroyed by the headmasters friendship beam.
>>5341801
> romance exists only for reproduction
They clearly have humanoid feelings, so some bots forming relationships isn't out of the question.
>>5342240
Don't expect the average 4chan user to understand the complexity of interpersonal relationships.
>>5342133
>The worthless Cyclonus from Transformers: The Headmasters actually did something useful
Well I'll be damned
Well, I saw all the Combaticons at Wal-Mart today. Ended up passing on them.
Normally I buy the Hasbro versions of figures, since the increased cost of Takara versions just isn't worth it. This time, though, I feel like the Takara set is going to be a better value.
At the time I bought Defensor and Takara announced theirs, nobody was expecting them to make a Groove. Now that there's that precedent, though, its almost certainly going to happen with Blast Off too. I don't hate Blast Off being a jet, but his head lacking a facemask was just too much.
But the biggest issue scaring me off is the design problems with Brawl: I don't like when Transformers are unable to hold a mode.
TL;DR Do better, Hasbro.
>>5342081
Glad I got Rook.
okay, I know zero about conversion. so if I'm incorrect someone point me in the right direction. but with a quick google conversion 150 ca is translating to 108 us. for 110 I'd bite, anything more fuck that.
>>5342279
If I remember correctly, I think the set is gonna be $100 here
>>5342282
will gladly pay 100. p.e pleaaaaaase release g2 upgrades
>>5342285
Given all they'd need to do is just shove different colored plastic into the molds they already have, they're probably going to. Those hands/feet seem to be selling like hotcakes.
>>5342138
So... I guess that confirms Roller is IDW Roller? Not that I really care about that in particular, but does Japan really care about IDW comics to do that? I mean, I thought the reason they turned Minimus into Alpha Trion was because Japan doesn't read the IDW comics.
>>5342322
It is popular with westaboos but hasn't had much in the way of official releases over there. Since Grand Galvatron is an online shop exclusive which often have minor characters and Ultra Magnus was a retail release, different demographics likely. Plus even if Roller isn't popular, the set is still getting carried by Cyclonus, Starscream, and Breakdown who are all popular characters.
>>5342322
They get them, they're just behind. Don't think Minimus has appeared yet.
Plus I assume there are online fan scanalations for アメコミ in Japan like we get for manga here
>BBTS is selling those shitacular Onslaught+Scattershot sets
>won't just sell Onslaught by himself
>no one, literally, no one, wants or cares about Scattershit
I just want an Onslaught without being forced into getting Red Superion with him as a $20 surcharge.
>>5342333
Just be patient. Wait for Amazon to get him in.
Am I the only one who wants both?
What would you consider the best CW combiner using any torso and limbots from the line?
>>5342333
They had single orders of Onslaught, they pre-sold out within an hour of going up.
>>5342331
Okay, I guess that makes a little sense. But I'm just thinking as it seems a bit odd. It's just that he's such a minor character in the long run, out of all the characters they could have used, I'm a little shocked that they decided to go with him.
>>5342330
Yeah, I think the selling point is easily Starscream and Breakdown limb-wise maybe even Thrust too as he an Starscream got mold changes.
>>5342340
Because they both have the moustachio
>>5342337
Superion is the best overall in terms of stability/staying secure in combiner mode.
Defensor is in the middle.
Menasor is at the bottom.
Aesthetics are subjective.
>>5342338
I know, and I missed it when they went up.
>>5342335
Dunno when Amazon is going to get him though. And yes, you're probably the only one who wants him, mostly because if stuff like Grand Galvatron is going to be a thing, you can be sure Takara is likely going to do a UW Computron with remolded/recolored limbs to mimic Computron.
>>5342349
I just wish Takara would actually release more than two UW sets in mass market. Fuck this Takara Tomy Mall exclusive crap.
>>5342356
Well, specialty stores seem to get ahold of those sets anyway, so is it really a problem?
>>5342349
>Dunno when Amazon is going to get him though.
Amazon has him listed now for going up in stock on the 21st, however, he costs $40. I think I'm going to wait at least until after this weekend. I mean you know after this weekend the only thing people will be concerned with buying and selling are Star Wars toys, as the demand will be at the height. So I'd say wait for Monday.
>>5342366
Yeah, he's being scalped already. Isn't his MSRP supposed to be $26 like every other voyager? Thats almost twice the price.
>>5342364
The prices are a lot more jacked up from it, though.
>>5342369
Yeah. But this has been happening with most of the major combiner torsos. I recall waiting for Motormaster a bit because it was the same case, $40 for like 2 weeks before going down.
I guess this is just more painful on me because while I don't incredibly care for Menasor, Bruticus is my favorite combiner, and I currently have all the pieces except Onslaught.
>>5342377
Same deal for me, except I like Menasor, Brutius is my 2nd favorite, and my actual favorite isn't looking like he'll get made unless Takara decides to build their own UW Predaking from scratch.
It's going to suck if my only option for a Predaking are the horrendously overpriced 3rd party things. I don't want to pay $300-500 for a Not-Predaking.
What's the worst irl TF-related experience you've had, guys? Any run-ins with creeps/autists/etc? I suppose I can consider myself lucky. I've been to one or two toy/comic conventions and they went perfectly fine.
>>5342390
Last year I was in line at a panel for the then-new RID cartoon. They started a Q/A, and they cut it off at the person directly in front of me. He was a ponyfag, and his question was completely serious, he wanted to know if there would be an RID/MLP crossover. I nearly jumped out a window after that.
I mean, I've been cut off on lines before, but getting cut off on line when that guy is directly in front of me and asked a retarded question such as that? Just fuck my shit up.
>>5342390
I met Sean Long in person at a Target in the Citrus Heights area.
>>5342377
I've got the best and worst of it, Bruticus is my favorite Decepticon combiner and it it seems that he's the least fucked over by Hasbro in terms of having all of his members and Blast Off doesn't look too far off from his original self. On the hand, my favorite Autobot combiner is Computron, so it looks like Unite Warriors for me.
>>5342411
Does he still look like a meth addict?
>>5342409
Oh yeah, I remember you from the previous threads.
Tfw you bought onslaught for 40 dollaroos
I feel dumb that I overpaid but fuck it was sold out errywhere
>>5342448
lol why would you do that?
It's gonna be available everywhere eventually, just like motormaster
>>5341801
Not in my fanfic
>>5342139
> Armada Thrust has a mouth
>>5342448
You are an impatient mother fucker. Jesus.
>>5342457
It is part of his new body. The old one's depiction has no mouth.
And he still converts from squid to jet.
>>5342460
>>5342460
>The old one's depiction has no mouth
that's why, bro. Why waste a remolded head by not making it true to the source?
having a mouth makes him much less like a squid...
>>5342475
>Why waste a remolded head by not making it true to the source?
Maybe they're trying to reuse that head for other figures?
>>5342481
Dirge and Ramjet?
Actually, why isn't Dirge part of a Unicron dead guy combiner?
>>5342475
So they can repaint it as the coneheads later, with Starscream there they can make another 5 repaints everybody would buy.
>>5342509
This is because they thought it was yaoi fanfic
>>5342548
You're trying too hard man.
>>5342553
Well considering the deviant art/tumblr level art and the horrible forced gay storylines...
>>5341517
There's no peg, but on my MP-11T (which I admit is the only version of the mold I own) the torso stays in place very well. It won't dislodge unless I apply a fair amount of pressure on it. I can pick him up by his torso or head and it stays in place. So yeah.
>>5341997
>The CW Leader is a much better toy.
I'm glad you enjoy it, but I strongly disagree. The shit headsculpt alone is enough to put me off. Never mind the lack of detail, hollow joints, fake parts, ludicrous kibble in both modes, and the weak articulation for the price point. If I'm setting my standards that low, I'll save 40 bucks and just buy the legends versions.
>>5342438
The hell is a transmission podcast?
>>5342559
>doesn't actually know what typical Deviant art looks like
>>5342573
Yeah it's like IDW. girly and obviously fan art.
>>5342559
I wasn't even talking about mtmte since I know that's what's triggered your homophobia. I was talking about All Hail Megatron, which is the first of the IDW stuff they got officially translated and brought over and they love it so far, even though they are obviously confused by some pieces.
tl;dr: dial back your rabid IDW homophobia since you keep seeing everywhere it isn't
>>5342577
The lineart, shading, coloring, and proportions are a hell a lot better. Even that one godawful one which did the later issues of Windblade v. 2 is above Deviantart levels.
>>5342577
so go read your precious Marvel shit again for the 3,000th time and then fap over it till you calm down
>need aerial bots for Sky lynx
>need stunticons for me Menasor
How badly am I going to be fleeced?
>>5342583
Homophobia? I'm sorry but any form of romance can be written horribly and the idw transformers gay romances are obviously forced and bad. Nothing about homophobia.
>>5342586
A bigger budget doesn't mean it's better.
>>5342588
You have an agenda? Believe it or not I'm not partial to any company. I read from whatever company has stories that interest to me including IDW but I won't deny that their art is Pretty shitty more often than not.
>>5342577
>Deviantart and tumblr art is codeword for anything I don't like
>>5342602
reddit is also one.
>>5342602
Or bad art is equivlant to other sources of bad art.
>>5342599
>Homophobia? I'm sorry but any form of romance can be written horribly and the idw transformers gay romances are obviously forced and bad. Nothing about homophobia.
The way you kept exclaiming about gay this and gay that very much led me to believe you are having a little gay shitfit, anon. Sorry if that's not the case but it comes across very strongly. So again. Tone back your rabid homophobia or learn how to express yourself in a way which doesn't lead others to believe you are some redneck having a fit because some author wrote that two robots love each other.
And to get back on topic: Finally found Legends Shockwave today, think this might be my new favorite Legends guy.
>>5342599
Nobody said anything about a bigger budget.
>>5342608
Not all bad art is the same, you dope. That which can be measured objectively such as proportions, correct foreshortening, and accurate lighting varies.
>>5342608
you really have no idea what standard deviantart art is.
this is hilarious.
>>5342615
What? Are you actually defending either DA or IDW art? Wow.
>>5342629
>implying IDW has a single house style of art

BRAVO TAKARA
>>5342636
What's with the colors?
>>5342567
On my MP-11, moving it at all causes the torso to flop, and the arms cannot be moved without causing the chest to disassemble. It's a garbage toy, full stop. You'll have to forgive me, but I've never found "works on my machine" to be particularly convincing.
I mean, I'm glad you're happy and all, but I would strongly recommend anyone looking for an SS to run as far away from that price of shit as possible. There might be a new MP Starscream in the future, so I recommend people save their money.
>>5342633
Yeah. Its usually the house of mediocre to shit.

They usually have 4-5 regular artists, with a few more they call on from time to time. You can just give up, we know you're trolling.
>>5342590
2 UW sets are cheaper usually than trying to buy those piece by piece right now, thanks to scalpers.
>>5342642
I could give a shit about Transformers but IDW publishes Godzilla and the art in that is fan-fucking-tastic.
>>5342660
That I Will agree with. Godzilla in hell had some incredible art.
>>5342640
>but I've never found "works on my machine" to be particularly convincing
Then by the same token "doesn't work on my machine" is equally unconvincing.
I was gambling for a new MP Starscream, since I didn't like the looks of the current one, but once they've started retooling the same mold for the umpteenth time into the coneheads, I think it's pretty clear they don't plan on updating it. If anything, I'd look at that turd party one coming up, by maketoys I think? The silhouette looks nice, at lease.
>>5341182
I just stuck one of those pointing post-its on him.
I want to make a bolo, but not sure how.
I was born in 88 so really wasn't around for G1 and have only owned 2 G1 toys (a small green jeep I found at my dad's radio station as a very young child I have yet to identify and a busted up hot rod a few years ago) so I don't have a lot of experience with them.
I've been eyeing warpath and seaspray. They look like goofy fun desk toys.
Are they worth nearly $10 a piece or should I go for more modern official/3P instead?
>>5342666
motherfucking stokoe on godzilla is the best shit
>>5342770
This was my favorite. I want a poster of it.
>>5342767
The green jeep is probably Hound.
The Warpath Legends figure is decent, yeah.
>>5342777
Read through the storytime on /co/ a couple hours ago. Pretty good.
>>5342779
Nah it wasn't hound. He's one of the first I looked to when I really got in to knowing transformers.
I do have the legends WP. I did have the generations one with no clue where it went.
>>5342322
Wandering Roller is presumably AN idw Roller. Remember, multiverse with over 72 million alternate realities.
>>5342790
It was pretty legit. If was cool just seing someone/something experience hell without realizing or caring what hell is and just tearing ass through it.
>>5342793
Go to tfu.info to identify it, theres a picture gallery sorted by altmode and color.
>>5342779
>>5342793
>>5342801
Yeah I go there often. It was pretty close to hound, but this figure was small. Like the jeep mode wasn't much smaller than legends size now. I thought hound was bigger. I do remember the windshield could fold and he had chrome. Things point to hound but again I thought hound was larger than the one I have.
>finally got my Defensor shipping notice.
>>5342805
Was Hound bigger or were you smaller?
>>5342811
What the fuck is that
>>5342812
I was a child, but this figure was very small. Like minibot size.
>>5342814
Fan art from when gundam wing and dbz were huge in the US it looks like.
No one told me Megatronus was a mutli-changer.
>>5342819
It looks like a PSA for robot anorexia.

Ok.

Oh. You're right, sorry.
I should've been able to tell by his.. claws???
>>5342390
I sold my childhood powermaster optimus prime, dreadwind, darkwing and brainstorm to a literal autist. she showed up to the trade with her care assistant, carrying around an RotF leader megatron like a teddybear. She later added me on facebook, where she tried to get me to join her cause protesting the freedom to be mechasexual and marry inanimate objects. The owner of Titan the Robot (old UK tourist attraction) took out a restraining order, she'd post big walls of text on his facebook page begging to be allowed to see him again because they were in love.
>that feel when I realise I accidentally sold my childhood bros into sexual slavery
>>5342908
I'm not trying to edgy or /pol/ with this, but I realy think it would be beneficial for everyone if these people separated from the general public.
>>5342908
link to her facebook so I can troll her as a trans-toaster-sexual
what the fuck, why can't i find this guy anywhere?
>>5342933
Not even online? Brick and mortar stores universally seem to have shit stock. Can never find shit at my local Walmarts.
>>5342933
Because it's a Japanese exclusive
>>5341391
...You just lost the game.
>>5342509
Can't wait until they see what he did to Star Saber.
>>5342997
>expecting to find that at a brick n mortar
>>5343049
those that read mtmte already know and dont care because they know its a different continuity
if only people here could understand that concept
>>5343052
>implying japanese neets are smarter than american weeaboos
>hlj added more to their christmas sale
>30% off for UW menasor

God fucking damnit hlj y u do dis
Also legends ultra magnus is 1,500yen off if anyone is interested, I'm weighing up going for the room filler or the better "toy" since either one would fuck up my display space which is -1
>>5342997
>>5342933
That's battle grimlock, its japanese exclusive retool of FOC grimlock, if you want it check mandarake or try on yahoo auctions.
You won't find it in stores locally unless its a specialist store that charges rape prices for an import.
$120AUD for mp bumblebee g2, christ what were they thinking, silly asian run anime store, even tru are better
>>5343093
Also because I'm nice mp-10 is 30% off.
This is your chance, anon, don't be a sucker like me, grab a bargain
