What's mp roadrage's body color like, straight red plastic, glossy or is it painted?
>>
>>5556657
I honestly don't know. It looks like dull, red plastic in so many of the pictures, but I don't trust what anyone says.

A bunch of people were saying Hot Rod and Ironhide were unpainted, but that's bullshit. The current practice with MPs, it seems, is to put a thin coat of paint on top of plastic that is the same color. As far as I'm concerned, only way to know for sure is to see it in person.
>>
>>5556657
its a nice and bright red plastic.
>>
>>5556661
With ironhide it wouldn't surprise me if he's gloss injected (as in like some gundam models where the gloss is injected into the plastic during molding), though here some owners of ironhide say its full on painted red.

I just can't remember what they said of roadrage

I don't follow. A submarine and a speedboat are not very similar and they have very different transformation schemes. Seems more likely a Scourge retool for a Thunderblast and even that seems unlikely.

This looks more like the comic you shitposted about than it does the G1 cartoon. Just so you know. 99% of the time, the cartoon was just flat colors with no attempts at shading or highlights.

Holy shit that head is atrocious.

I REALLY hope they don't fuck up the TM2 Megatron head for the RID Galvatron repaint. That's the only one I'm interested in.

Maybe Cheetor too, since I don't think they'll even have to remold Drift's head for that to work.

This was so shitty. Instead of using a starscream body that hasn't been used in any media (like Machine Wars), they used an original design that doesn't look anything like the Sweeps, Scourge, Galvatron, and Cyclonus.
>>
>>5557107
Of course. Why wouldn't Starscream make sure he still looked like himself, the narcissistic asshole he is?

In IDW now they make a point that two bots witht he same name would identify themselves by what area they're from . In the old Marvel comics though, they made a point that only one guy could have a given name; Swoop of the dinobots used to be called Divebomb until the Predacon Divebomb beat him in a duel and won the right to his name.
>>
>>5557191
Then there's Tankor, formerly triple changer Octane, and Tankor the Vehicon. Both are identified as Tall Tankor and Fat Tankor respectively by Maccadam's goers.

The point of Universe is to release ones that don't all feel like they are from the same setting, but a lot of different ones.

>>
>>5557360
Who's talking about Universe?

Either way, Generations has always mostly been G1 with some other stuff thrown in. I'd much rather they use a new mold slot on some obscure G1 guy than to rehash some Animated toy who already had a toy (and doesn't need it) and even has a G1 counterpart in Classics already.
>>
>>5557373
Two years after the third act of the current theme.
>>
>>5557360

The original point of Universe is that Armada wasn't enough product for the sudden resurgence in Transformer interest. So Hasbro dusted off a bunch of old molds (G2, BM, RID) and gave them crazy G2 colors. Universe was also a great way for new collectors to get neat older molds.

Since Universe was popular without much tie-in, that gave enough reason for Hasbro to start the Classics line after Takara made some awesome "modern G1" designs without being limited by gimmicks. That's been what Generations and beyond was about.

To really make a Universe 2.0, it'd be about taking the neater molds from Energon, Cybertron, Animated, and Prime and give them crazy colors while selling them cheap.

Any episode of the cartoon animated by Toei had shading/highlights. It wasn't all movie-quality, but it was there. That's a hell of a lot more than 99 percent. The only episodes that looked bad are the AKOM ones, which are most frequent in season 3.

I think it's an interesting topic considering people welcomed the Beast Wars repaints in AOE

Actually with that little chest piece with the wings, it looks more like the Sky Reign torso.

Hint of Liozack having a proper robot mode, or shitty OC design? Probably the latter.

>>5557458

It'd all depend on the molds, I imagine. Throw in some shit that was always hard to get in the US or new to it (like when Universe 1.0 had a Big Convoy redeco) and actual decent toys like Bendy Prime, and it'd be alright. If it was just "Armada Sideswipe is repainted again" then it'd deflate pretty quickly.

I think its one of the most clever repaints ever. The Fuzors and the Monsterbots are some of the more weirder points in TF history with designs unlike most others, and especially back in the mid 2000's it didn't seem like it was likely for the Monsterbots to get new toys. Its just a nice coincidence that their was a figure that happened to look similar to a Monsterbot's alt-mode.

I love the design concepts of Animated, but Derrick J Wyatt's style is just so ugly to me. It's so lanky and stiff. Safeguard, Oil-slick, Rodimus Minor, and so many other figures would look better without having to conform to the strange amorphous polygonal blob style from the show.

Lockdown and Lugnut's movieverse toys were infinity better than their animated counterparts. I wouldn't even mind on some toys were just resculpted into classics styled figures with better 5mm hands and way less chin.

honestly i think so to and i dont give a shit about the Monsterbots. if he had a new head it'd be perfect

another clever repaint for me is movie Crankcase, because he keeps the vehicle mode and gimmick of the original. again the only flaw is the head

what are some other clever repaints i wonder?~

I think what's funny about DJW's style is that it looks better when someone else is interpreting it. Just look at the Japanese TFA intro and it really goes to show how dynamic and exciting the designs are when they are well animated and have just a bit of refinement.

But that's DJW's art and I think it looks really cool there. The thing is, when you see DJW's style in the shows, , its someone else animating it. I doubt a lot of the promo art was even drawn by DJW since there tends to be a lot of different people doing merchandising art.

I feel the same way about Bruce Timm, I think a lot of the DC cartoons look dull visually, but I love his own art.

>>5557458
I would love it if they do more new characters like the first Universe line did. It really helped make the Transformers brand seem bigger than it was.

When the Universe line came out, there really was only about 7 or 8 years of "modern"(Cyberjets/laser rods and onward) Transformers molds. And compared to what we get per year since the movie, there really wasn't many per line. And now there's so much more they could use and do cool stuff with, especially depending how far back they could go.

I had that initial reaction with the first promo image of TFA that everyone had, but once I saw it in motion I loved it. Some of it was iffy, but I've always had a thing for that type of proportion like with the fugitoid or mega man if that makes sense.

It's now my favorite TF series and I'm glad they finally released all the seasons on DVD and compiled both allspark almanacs in to one.

The toys were pretty damn hit or miss though.
