You know what'd be cool? A redneck combiner team. Altmodes could include a pickup truck, a mobile home/trailer, a monster truck, a rusty old sports car, and a tractor.
>>5589863
I saw this guy on the pegs today, but he just looks so underwhelming for 15$.
Story of RID I guess.
>>5589873
And a dirt bike target master or something. Maybe a 4-wheeler too.
>>5589879
>looks underwhelming but only because of its price
Don't be such a poorfag. If you like it, buy it. Simple as that.
>>5589879
Imo he's the only RiD that is worth it. Although I'll probably pick up Thunderhoof and Quillfire. His transformation is fun and clever and his helmeted version looks pretty cool.
>>5589879
He's actually pretty fun. His square frame makes for pretty good imposing stances.
>>5589888
And he'd make a good Megatronus to fight legends figures.
>>5589891
Plus, chest cannon.
>>5589879
He's probably one of the most poseable figures in the RID'15 line because of his transformation.
>>5589873
There was a Powercore Combiner just like that. I think it was their version of the Stunticons.
>>5589768
Who the fuck decided this? What a terrible idea. Why not just put it on YouTube where it's easily accessible and thrown in ads, or put it on Netflix? No, instead put it on a "literally what" streaming service, only available on phones and tablets?
I hope they're not shocked when not as many people as they expect actually watch the series there, instead of elsewhere.
>>5589888
>>5589891
>>5589894
I'm not sure if you remember, but a few months ago I asked about the knight-grill faced Megatronus in the tfg or something. Your pictures are the reason I couldn't settle with the regular face. Actually ended up picking one up the last time I went to the US.

I really hope they don't end up that bland. Despite the Hasbro version having its problems, the deco looks pretty good.
Anyway, now that Computron's out of the way, I really want them to post their Leokaiser pics soon. This could end up being the greatest or worst combiner in the line depending on what they show.
>>5589836
Can't wait to see him up on AmiAmi.
>>5589977
>I really hope they don't end up that bland.
Look at UW Defensor.
It's a shame all these nice remolds are going to be ruined by a shit paint job.
Anyone know how big this guy is? Motorcycle anon asking again.
>>5589981
I have a bit of hope since Bruticus didn't end up as bland as I expected.
>>5589991
Get Road Rocket Microman version, or Robot Masters version. It's compatible with 1/12 figures.
>>5589994
It's hard to mess up Bruticus since he's the blandest combiner compared to everyone else.
>>5589991
I sometimes see the RID version of this guy. I'm kinda tempted.
So is he based off an animal or no?
Still no fucking Quillfire anywhere though.
>>5589996
Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure he was retooled into a Sideways that only fits 1/18.

Weird that you see the RID version of an RID figure in the RID line.
>>5589996
Microman are 3.75" or 1/18.
>>5590016
He's not a very good ride...
>>5589894
He does look like a nice figure but that rid design aesthetic just isn't going to look right with my current figures.
>>5590036
Who cares
>waiting on an order
>last fucking tracking notice was 3 days ago
US postal service is a shitter, /toy/. What do you do to kill the waiting-for-your-shit blues. I just wanna mess with my new Transformers.
>>5590060
At least you didn't have to wait over a month for an order to ship because the Entertainment Earth site fucked up, and listed products in stock when they weren't.
Also, I live on an island and I get to see a package travel across the USA in 3-4 days, then the package takes 2 weeks to get here.
>>5590065
That sucks. Regular mail is bad enough, I don't even want to think how shit it would be in a different country or not on the US mainland. Normally I get shit within 3-4 days, but sometimes the USPS just decides to, I dunno, jerk off in a corner on my packages or something and it takes a week or so.
>>5590075
It gets better. If I order something from Japan, it travels across the USA, stays for a week in NY for no reason, then makes it's way here.
If I'm lucky, the package arrives in a month, and the tracking might as well not exist since it only works when it gets to the USA, stops working in NY, then starts working again when it arrives on the island.
>>5590081
I try to avoid international shipping. I hear nothing but horror stories and "lol shit takes like 5 months bro" every time it's mentioned.
Plus, fuck, what if something was wrong with it after all that time? I'd be shit out of luck.

If you can get Strongarm for under $10, she's probably the only first wave that is worth owning.
Not sure about the Takara one though.
>>5590197
The price is too high for the engineering but the paint apps give show accuracy.
>>5590028
>>5589991
He's on the small side of deluxes.
>>5590197
I can't stand Strongarm's shellformer-esque backkibble. I'm not one to make a big deal out of show accuracy, but the show model just looks so much better.
>>5590229
>Strongarm's shellformer-esque backkibble
You means her combat apron?
>>5590197
Strongarm is the best riot-shield mod for Generations Chromia.
Interesting.

>Altmode: Rectangular plate
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>5590272
A tablet is the perfect modern form for Soundwave. I hope they produce a redeco down the line with a more Soundwavey color scheme, because that head looks decently like him.
>>5590274
That back looks terrible, though. I know a completely smooth tablet mode would've been hard to pull off, but sheesh.
>>5590286
in the video there is a cover plate to cover that.
So basically like a phone/tablet, pop the backing off before you do anything.
Personally I find the screen front horrible but bit hard to avoid all those segments
>>5590272
Soundwave?
But it doesn't seem like a music specialization device.
>>5590295
There was? I don't see it.
Kinda neat having the differences pointed out.
>>5590300

And last one.
>prototype diaclone mp black tracks
There is vehicle mode shots but its the same shit, that new head looks promising
>>5590306
I love seeing the comparison between the unpainted red plastic and Ironhide's red paint.
>>5590307
I like that head sculpt.
What's the verdict on the Tracks mold? I've heard mixed.
>>5590310
It's interesting, not the best. But it's nice to have. Tracks blue paint is sexy among the sea of red and white cars.
>>5590310
He's got an amazing alt mode and is technically the first triple changer, also included a flight stand and is definitely tracks.
One issue is how the vehicle back/thing around his head doesn't really tab into anywhere, can be lodged but ends up at an angle reardless.
You want sexy, he's it, also the paint is mica blue so its got some metallic flakes, fucking amazing
>>5590300
I kinda want this prototype to become a future exclusive Ratchet repaint. lol
>>5590304
That's just printed on the protective wrap-around...a thin sheet of plastic.
Also, no torso, waist or neck joints.
What are some good figures from Animated? I own:
>Prowl (awesome)
>Blurr (knees modded, awesome)
>Swindle (meh)
>Bumblebee (shit)
I've heard good things about Oil Slick. Is Lockdown good, too?
>>5590321

The only one I'd want is the Rescue Ratchet colors.
>>5590325
>>5590330
>>5590322
Still hides the back kibble, regardless its still an external add on that covers it.
I didn't say you had to like it, I think it looks like shit in either mode
>>5590332
>Still hides the back kibble, regardless its still an external add on that covers it.
It's literally just packaging material. Why are you trying to defend it when you don't like it?

You said music specialization device, buddy.
>>5590328
Oil slick and Lockdown are very good figures.
Voyager Optimus is pretty solid.
Voyager Bulkhead is a common favorite and I really like the Leader as well.
Rodimus Minor has a super cool transformation that leaves him almost devoid of kibble in robot mode which has tons of personality.
Longarm/Shockwave is superb with a really neat conversion between the characters.
Leader Megatron is one of my personal favorites even though his leg ratchets leave him a little stiff.
All in all a very well executed line that took difficult show models and succeeded in making them a physical reality.
>>5590390
>Lockdown
Not really. He's okay, but not worth hunting down. Did they ever explain the fucked up wrists?
>>5590328
Also if you can hunt down a Hydrodive Bumblebee, he is such a better figure than the deluxe.
>>5590390
>All in all a very well executed line that took difficult show models and succeeded in making them a physical reality.
Because the designers for both the toys and the show worked together when creating.
>>5590396
Yeah he might not be as good as I remember, and I don't know what the deal with the wrists was.
The only figure in the line that I never acquired was Blackout and I've debated picking him up recently.
My biggest regret is that we never saw releases for Hot Shot, Powered Optimus and Marauder Megatron, all of which were close to completion.
The designs of Team Char would have been amazing ad toys but the rest is history.
>>5590390
Favorite toy from the line.
>>5590403
Can you imagine my face after opening the Sons of Cybertron 2 pack with crystal Rodimus and Optimus after owning it for 6 years and Roddy had two left arms.
>>5590407
I'm so accustomed to that sort of thing happening that it's more surprising for me when the toys come out of the box without any flaws or deformities.
>>5590401
I really wanted pre earth oil slick.
>>5590388
How is a tablet a music thing?
Doesn't even have speakers going hammer or dishes to take in sound.
>>5590409
Really with people would quit blaming their hamhands on Hasbro
>>5590422
Some people are just unlucky.
I haven't had any problems, but have known others that buy something new and it doesn't work from the beginning.
So UW computron is going to have one of 3 possible chest colorings, here is option one, a simple splotch of black in the center so the autobot logo can stand out without ugly white borders.
Also answer me this, what is the release window, thinking of going to my new tf dealer or go via hlj since my new dealer goes free shipping
>>5590427
Option 2, not the most favorable.
What are the chances they use some of betatron's plastic so it least has 2 tones?
>>5590431
Option 3, the pink flamingo of the bunch, what shall they do here, reflective paint apps, straight blue metallic?
This one seems consistent with the new chest detail on the UW.
I'm hyped regardless
>>5590417
I never said it was.
>>5590307
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuu
I wanted that head on red Tracks. Not girly mcOC.
>>5590420

TFWiki is pretty reliable when it comes to toylines.
>>5590427
>Also answer me this, what is the release window
I believe Computicon is out August, around a month after the Bruticus set.
>>5590438
But he's supposedly going to be black goth tracks, don't you want that glossy/matte black over plastic red?
>>5590442
Shit that's fast, WHY ARE THE JAPANESE RETAILERS STILL NOT PUTTING HIM UP FOR RETAIL
Hell I don't know why guys like tf source and shit have him up before hand
>>5590443
>>5590438
That's the Tracks mold, not the Road Rage mold.
Also this is the intended color scheme
Here's some more Chinese iPad rip-off Soundwave pictures.
If I could get a hold of one of these on the cheap I might get it for the novelty of it.
http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/04/05/hand-images-pictorial-review-xiaomi-mi-pad-2-soundwave-312486
>>5590482
He even has his own Laserbeak.
>>5590365
The real gears were nifty little figures, though I question why they were a movie line and had a bunch of pictures of Cybertron characters.
(Yes, I know the answer is because it was originally intended to be a Cybertron line.)
I wish they would do something like this again soon.
>>5590485
If you know the answer, why are you questioning it?
>>5590328
I guilty like cybertron mode Ratchet, Ironhide, Ironfist, and Autotroopers.
>>5590272
Woah I didn't expect something like this to look so cool
You know what it looks like? it looks like an Alternity version of Soundwave. the weird colors and movie+G1 aesthetic are quite close. though I'd think he'd tower over other Alternity toys
>>5590544
>looks like an Alternity version of Soundwave
What powers would Alternity Soundwave have?
Reminder that Alternity Prime has guns that -if they hit- shoot you in the past as well as in the future
And Alternity Megatron has swords that lock on to their target, so no matter where or how far he slashes, he always hits
>>5590547
All-hearing.
>>5590328
Voyager Prime
Deluxe Prime
Deluxe Cybertron Prime (Yeah, that's a lot of Prime but these figures were awesome.)
Leader Ultra Magnus
Voyager Bulkhead

>Reminder that Alternity Prime has guns that -if they hit- shoot you in the past as well as in the future

>>5590573

>>5590596
Because dual-wielding is for edgelords, and a true champion of justice needs only one.
>>5590060

>>5590446

Also, I'm interested in that dealer.
>get Shockwave
>Has a peg so literally no other Transformer can hold his 5mm peg
for what purpose
>>5590652
Most can hold him though. Only those with super chunky fists can't.
But yeah the square peg is a fucking mystery. It's not like it prevents 3P hands from holding him, either. My PE hands can hold it long as you position the fingers correctly.
>>5590652
Supposedly it's made to fit the combiner hand better.
>>5590492
Why guilty? It's a Damn good mold.
>>5590652
Cut it off.
>>5590436
I'd love some chrome on the little shiny bits of his chest.
Are Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm good? How much should I be paying for em?
>>5590615
Did she give the sword in the stone to the Lady of the Lake then? Seems like a fair exchange for Excalibur.
>>5590764
Individually yes. Combined is iffy. Safeguard is fine, but the connection points are a bit of a hassle to stay together. The twins are loaded with personality though.
Hey guys, UKfag here. Given how expensive deluxes are here now, I've never caved on Combiner Wars.
They're now at 25% off - but it's only the limbs for Optimus Maximus (Prowl, Sunstreaker, etc.)
Seeing as I already own Legends Rodimus and can get ahold of OP himself pretty easily, what's the general consensus on OpMax?
>Look up the value of the yen compared to the dollar
Guess I'll cancel my preorder in may if it doesn't get better.
>>5590573
To be fair, Alternity does come from BW Ravage fucking the G1 timeline so hard that he spawned like three alternate universes... that kind of thing is par for the course.
>>5590573
Man that's like seeds being planted in the future and growing in the past.
>>5590901
The truck torso mold is the weakest of the torsos, both in looks and mechanical design. Optimus Prime has the bad hips, Motormaster might have them depending on which version you get, and Battle Corer Optimus has the fixed hips. Apparently all three have a tabbing issue in the torso mode. Get another torso if you can, and if you're ok with not adhering to the specific group roster.
>>5590947
Thanks for the advice, but given that the only other Autobot torsos available are Silverbolt and Scattershot (and they have a serious case of 'flying brick' syndrome) I might still go for Optimus.
If only we had Decepticon limbs, because Onslaught looks pretty great.
>>5590947
Powercore Prime has pretty solid tabs for his torso arms, so if you aren't adverse to the colors, he'd be the best Truck mold available.
>>5590951
The Silverbolt mold is the best torso, and the sci-fi Scattorshot and Cyclonus versions have a built-in excuse for the undercarriage.

>>5591100
Considering this is the last one I figure all bets are off and he's really gonna show his ass.
>>5591102

>>5591108
This is the last BotCon. FunPub lost the license.
>>5591102
Ha ha! Nice one anon. My dad used that term all the time!!
>>5591087
Short of an absolute wreck of a headsculpt, the at show exclusives can't fail for me by virtue of this existing.
Disappointment will come from trying to actually get it.
>>5591109
Last FP run Botcon. The show had two or three convention organizers before and will continue to go on after FP.
>>5591152
Hopefully the next organizers will learn how to USE FUCKING PAYPAL.
>>5591152
Is there any dramatic story behind them losing the license or was it just a boring business decision?
>>5591160
Have you been in a coma for the last 11 years? Practically every year had FunPub fucking up in one way or another.
>>5591160
I'm gonna go with a simple decision not to renew their contract, but there's a bunch of bullshit flying around.
Frankly they should have had their license yanked after the credit card fiasco.
>>5591160
FP kind of lucked into getting the Transformer con license when they did. They where doing the GI Joe convention so when Hasbro made Botcon official(it was a fan run convention before, albeit with lots of cooperation with Hasbro for the exclusive toys), they simply chose FP because they had prior business dealings. Then Botcon blew up in size due to the movies, while FP was still running things like a run-of-the-mill state convention.
So after a lot of fan complaints and issues with them, Hasbro decided to not renew their license. The exact future of how things will be organized will be announced at botcon itself.
>>5591171
They didn't really "luck" into it. The people who ran it were into G.I. Joe and Hasbro told them they would get to keep the license for that if they did Transformers. They've never much given a shit about Botcon from the very beginning and the only reason it lasted this long is probably because most of the complaints were never actually forwarded to Hasbro and instead kept within the fandom and their forums. It's been pretty well accepted that had they lost the license there would more than likely be no new club or exclusive toys so that may have prevented the fanbase from raising their voices too loudly.
I don't follow Botcon at all so it's interesting to get a window into this ongoing shitfest.
>>5591199
If you read my post you'd see I mentioned them getting the license through having done the GI Joe convention. The "luck" part comes from getting in on the franchise just before the movies where coming out and made profits boom.
>>5591221
But how's it luck if they don't give a shit about the franchise and are forced to keep doing it to do what they really want?
I don't recall them making a ton more sets which are where the bulk of their income comes from. If anything they've been doing worse off since the movies because Hasbro was moving way more product than before and that meant people cared less and less about Botcon's exclusives.
>>5591226
FP would have to be dumber than people think they are to not be making a ton off the franchise. Granted they also over-saturated the market with exclusives.
>>5590647
EMS is only fast from Japan, like one week ship time. EMS from China still takes forever, like a month+.
>>5589943
Oh, word. That's pretty cool. It's definitely the superior headsculpt and I'm glad my pictures were influential.
>>5590493
If they were smart they'd release this in metallic blue and do a cross promotion and release the actual tablet in metallic blue with a decepticon logo/ cassette chest decal on the back. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
Has ANYONE found Quillfire or Thunderhoof in the US yet?
I don't want shill out for the Takara ones.
My wave should be here tomorrow. Still can't decided where to put the con marks.
>>5591267
I shilled for Takara Thunderhoof, but Quillfire fucking eludes me. I think most stores have stopped giving a fuck about RID Warriors.
For the sake this weekend's BotCon, here are the other toys "leaked" from the same source that originally leaked Titans Return and the majority of the figures in it. Yes, a lot of this reads like wish fulfillment garbage, but they've been spot on about everything else so far -
SDCC - Sentinel Prime vs. Brainstorm and Windblade
Legends Sharkticon Gnaw
Legends Insecticon Kickback
Legends Bumblebee, in G1 style, yellow, but not a Bug. Similar to Devastation video game model.

>Sixshot
This is the only one I'm having trouble believing, because Voyager and Leader both seem too small for modern Hasbro to use for him.
>>5590328
I always feel like the odd one out because I actually love the deluxe animated BB mold for being so expressive. I also like Blitzwing but I never watched the toon so the back canons never bothered me.
>>5591325
You should watch it. Tis fun.
>>5591316
>>5591300
I have a lot of trouble believing in a new Doublecross. He's such a c-list character with like no retool potential outside of maybe Hun-Grr- which would suck because such a retool wouldn't have a combining feature.
The whole "Magnus Prime" thing sounds quite odd, too. But I hope the rumored Pounce and Wingspan are foreshadowing a new Predaking in the works or something.
>>5591325
The main issue I have with Bee is that the balljoints on mine's windshield panels and shoulders pop off at the drop of a hat, yet they aren't actually loose. I always hated how you had to push the bumper through when flipping the torso, and how his stingers stick out even when folded away.
Shame that Hydrodive/Jetpack Bumblebee is so expensive.
>>5591300
Ultra Magnus and Magnus Prime would be samefags. It isn't a gold/black/fire repaint?
>>5591300
>Titans Return Sixshot. Size class unknown, could be Voyager or Leader.
That'd be awesome as fuck. Kinda makes me feel bad I ordered a Hexatron now, but hey, I'll just put'em side by side and let the Hastak one act as a shadow clone like JPN G1.
>>5591316
Leader seems the right size for him. He's supposed to be huge, and I've got an original G1 Sixshot and he's about modern Leader size, maybe a bit bigger. 'bot height does vary a bit depending on 'bot, even within a size class.
>>5591300
>Voyager Tidal Wave,
Talk about completely missing the point.
>>5591361
Just be happy if he gets a figure Anon. And Voyager's pretty big given the majority of bots are Deluxe or Legends.
>>5591361
Of being Broadside's moldmate?
Besides, might be the Micromaster Flattop that rebuilt himself to function as a larger robot.
>>5591300
Voyager Megatron, what could that possibly be? A new mold, or just some Platinum bullshit?
>>5591372
People were tossing around rumors of a triplechanger Megs (jet/tank) that'd be remolded into Blitzwing.
>>5591372
Leakers say it's based on the current IDW design but may possibly be a triple changer so it can be retooled into Blitzwing.
>>5591374
Sounds like it would be remoulded from Galvatron.
>>5591377
>it's based on the current IDW design
I remember reading the exact same thing when the last Megatron was revealed, so he probably looks completely different to the current design.
>>5591300
>Legends Sharkticon Gnaw
>Legends Insecticon Kickback
>Legends Bumblebee, in G1 style, yellow, but not a Bug. Similar to Devastation video game model.
I'm hyped for these little guys.
>>5591300
Where's Brawn? Gnaw was suppose to be released in the same wave as him, but he's not listed.
>>5591374
>>5591377
>Blitzwing
Okay, that totally makes sense, especially considering that they seem to be doing pretools before the figure the mold is intended for. And turning into a tank and a jet is perfect for Megs.
Does that mean I can finally hope for something similar to this?
>>5591451
Considering these aren't official lists then you shouldn't expect things like that.
>>5591453
I hope we get new Animated toys in Generations at some point. It's a different visual style from most of the things we've gotten from the line, but it's not like we haven't had different designs in it before.
>WFC/FOC designs
>Armada figures
>BW
>>5591453
>> those nipple guns
>>5591459
Animated had a very different style though from the rest of the franchise. Style and design don't necessarily mean the same thing.
>>5591468
That's true. TFA is vastly different from everything except maybe Prime (which is inspired by Animated anyway).
But isn't Generations supposed to celebrate all iterations of the franchise? Heck, even the Bayformers have slipped into it due to the way they designated the AOE toys.
I hope we at least get something in 2018, to celebrate the tenth year since the beginning of the toyline.
>>5591485
It is a celebration, but there might be issues with TFA since all the other series before stick to a basic design theme.
Well that's the end of Botcon

>>5591525
Why does this make me laugh?
Shame, because for once the set is good
>>5591333
well we got fucking Scoop
>>5591525
I was wonder why IDW had such a large part in the fiction and art for Botcon this year, considering how close it seems they work with Hasbro's Combiner Wars and Titan stuff
Good to hear
>>5591530
Not him, but it's going to be really weird that they're only releasing one of the Monsterbots. I hope they don't end up like the Insections, one release per year.
>>5590656
>buy him the other day as now stores in this area finally have him.
>not a single one of my limbs can hold him without the arm lowering due to how heavy he is.
Shouldn't have expected any different since nobody can hold Powerglide or Bombshell in gun modes either.
Nice thing is that slotting Shockwave into Bruticus's back assembly (his instructions even point out he can do this) fixes his leaning over problem for me.
>>5591267
Stores here only just now got the new little legions.
No new deluxes, the only other RiD stuff I see now are the deployers and one-steps.
>Clampdown is so ridiculous I can't help but love the ugly little bastard.
>Thunderhoof has the best looking robot mode of the legions I have aside from Megatronus
>Windblade is like the first wave of Gobots, that's not a compliment.
Good Windblade toy when/
>>5591549
A little bit of this will make anyone able to hold anything.
>>5591538
Well, if that list is real, then it shows clear signs of their intentions. Case in point: the Insecticons. If Kickback is planned for a wave of Titans Return, then the rest of the Monsterbots will probably be planned for a later wave of TR or they'll trickle them out with the next series, just like what seems to be the case with the Insecticons, if this leak id real.
>>5591557
Her Gen. toy is decent aside from the heels. And if you don't like that, get IF's Miko.
>>5591566
>It has a hole right through the jet mode.
Is her alt mode even that realistic to begin with?
>>5591557
Did someone mention Clampdown?
>>5591583
>combination of Head and Nipplemaster.
>>5591557
I got clampdown and Thunderhoof at target because cartwheel had all RID stuff for 20% off so why not.
Thunderhoof is the better toy, but I am enjoying clamdown more than I expected. I like how there's different ways to have him stand. I usually like him on his claws like sebulba does in phantom menace.
>>5589865
>"My name is Optimus Prime."
>>5591453
I wish a 3rd party would hop on that design and give it a Beast Machines deco
>>5591147
There's already too much red in this year's Botcon toys, why add one more awful deco to the pile?
>>5591300
>Legends Bumblebee, in G1 style, yellow, but not a Bug. Similar to Devastation video game model.
If this is true I'd love it. TF Devastation was so good I'd love to see toys based on it
>>5591590
on that note how's the warrior thunderhoof?
quillfire needs a buddy
>>5591658
nb4 Blackjack repaint.
Not that I'd mind. Blackjack is a decent lil' Legends guy.
>>5591658
I would love a decent Legends Cliffjumper as well. The last one was wonky.
>>5591661
Wish I knew. I've been on the lookout for Thunderhoof and quillfire for a while. Seems they aren't really showing up stateside yet.
>>5591664
I'd assume if we're getting a BB, and it's not a Blackjack remold, it'll get remolded into Cliffjumper too.
Hell, even if it IS a Blackjack remold, it'll probably get a Cliffjumper head on it too.
>>5591663
Maybe they'd repaint him into the Ground Soldier.
I'm doing a custom Soldier right now, but I'm not patient enough to see if Hastak make their own
>We will never get a new Glyph
They could have done that new Generations Scout BB into her so easily.
>>5591674
this is a cutie
who's the artist?
c-mad? c-max?
>>5591677
E-Mad.
It's like Robot House MK something on Facebook tho his tumblr is better because uncensored
It's one of our own from /toy/ I believe.
>>5591300
>Titans Return Sixshot
If true I seriously doubt he will have 6 modes
That seems monstrously generous for Hasbro
>>5591684
Link to the tumblr?
>>5591685
Well, as long as they can repurpose it theres a chance it can happen.
Maybe they'll do Six/Greatshot, or Six/Quickswitch from the mold, if it happens.
nb4 Sixshot is Alpha Trion's remold or something, and only goes into flying space panther mode.

I don't know what your talking about, I just see cute and sexy robots on his page.

He's probably one of those people who think that wide hips are somehow unattractive and count as being "fat".
What a faggot.
