Old thread:

>>5612139
Hold up, do Swindle and Brawl share the same HFG?
>>5612149
I think so? The gun cannons look pretty similar at least.
>>5612149
The cannon pieces are identical, but Brawl's looks more like an engine block, and Swindle's is more like a gas tank.
>>5612153
>>5612150
Thanks, I quite like the HFGs, but I'd rather official more stable and dedicated hands/feet came out, currentely there's two of those, right? the ones with Victorion, and hasbro Computron? (I thought Liokaizer would as well going by the box art, but the preview picture says otherwise) the feet look good, but the hands are pretty weak.
>>5612139
Anyone with sky lynx, I just tried the hip ratchet fix, took me 5 minutes, he's solid as a rock now.
Silverbolt torso is still best torso, but at least he can stand up now.
>>5612164
>those arms
>>5612166
You just put a little piece of folded up paper behind the ratchet tooth, right?
I don't have Skylynx yet. Do you have to knock out pins or any ridiculous shit like that? I had to do that for my Motormaster to tighten his front/back hip ratchets.
>>5612189
You need one Phillips head screwdriver, one TINY Phillips head, but that's it, total of 4 screws.
I used small plastic strips but yeah, same idea . you need to pop out the ratchets and put something behind them. The other key component is screwing it back together very tightly so there isn't any give in the ratchets
>>5612202
Okay, cool. Thanks.
Last thread, some anon found this ko at a sears today (being sold with kids' shirts). It's also available in bright green. Not sure what country, though, I'll assume U.S.
>>5612209
Here's the bright green version.
>>5612209
Okay
>>5612211
I'd totally go for that, but I doubt you'd see something like that in the UK.
How's CW Starscream?
BTW, how do you guys like your seekers, voyager or leader?
>>5612229
Voyager, leaders's too big.
I'd rather Megatron be a Ultra since we're talking size classes.
>>5612229
I kinda hate the CW leader jet mold, but I only have Jetfire. I feel like I'm gonna break him every time I move the chest.
>>5612229
Voyager.
>>5612211
>>5612209
>>5612231
I really should pick one of these up. The prices for a real Dinobot are pretty shit right now.
Seems like these ko'd molds have been in circulation for a few years, too:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/407565-ko-beast-wars-grimlock-dinotron-kohls.html
>>5612164
Here's some pics.
>>5612229
Great jet mode. Robot mode is only okay, the cheap looking grey plastic and underside of the wings ruin it a bit for me.
>>5612209
>>5612211
I need pics of the robot mode.
>>5612244
>>5612044
As mentioned previously I'm still trying to figure out if I should wait for Hasbro Quillfire or fuck it and dish extra $ for the Takara one.
Too bad all I can find is the Fracture wave at the moment though.
>>5612247
These hands are just plain terrible, the seem less articulated than the hfg ones.
>>5612246
>envision BW Dinobot in your head
>now envision the robot mode
>in blue or green but not pink
There.
>>5612252
And victorion for the finale, no good pics of the hands.
>>5610359
>its difficult to make him look imposing...
How about now?
>>5612252
They don't have any articulation, but they look fine.
>>5612250
And you were already told to just go by the color you prefer since its that small of a difference.
>>5612258
he looks like he is going to be lewd with the knife.
>>5612045
>what country.
>Canadian Sears doesn't have toys anymore.
I'm in the US but as far as I know we don't carry toys either, the figure isnt sold as a toy though, it comes free with the shirt from the little boys area
>>5612256
>only like $10
Nice.
>>5612282
>A t-shirt and Deluxe class is cheaper than a modern deluxe
What
>>5612253
They could have modified the head and weapon or something.
>>5612285
My thoughts exactly. Then again it's a ko so chances are the quality will suck.
>>5612289
I don't think you understand how knock-offs work.
>>5612258
>I am going to find a way to rape this knife
>>5612292
I don't know, I took a part time night job at a KMart years ago and at Easter we had baskets that had a full Denfensor and Devastator in there. For 20 years later they seemed as solid as my vintage ones.
>>5612300
Let's hope it's true for these, too.
>>5612149
>>5612153
Here's a shit comparison pic I took on my phone. Brawl's gun is on the left, Swindle's gun on the right.
>>5612309
Also, if anyone needs to know how to mount Hound/Swindle's gun on the shoulder, this is where it goes.
>>5612309
Similar to each other, but different enough so they're not the same.
>>5612256
Oh dude nice find, sorry I didn't post the name, was on my break when I put them up and just wanted to hurry, that fucking optimus shirt though
>>5612272
I really hope so, desu I might grab one with next check, if nothing else I'll mail it to thew
Also asking again, anyone recognise this poor fuck
>>5612271
that's weird.
>>5612316
How the fuck did a random ass desu end up in there, fucking phone knows i shitpost my friends so much it does it automatically
>>5612316
I don't think that's based on a transformer.
Do you know where these are coming out?
>>5612324
I dont know any specifics, just found them while doing go backs, the rudeboyz shirts are listed in the site tho http://m.sears.com/search=Rudeboyz
Most of them had waterguns n shit, dinobot I recognized immediatly and the orange guy was the only other bought we had
>>5612322
To be honest is filtered to desu
Shaking my head is filtered to baka

It's not just you, haha.
>>5612316
I guess it vaugely resembles Universe Prowl, but it's probably just a generic robot that isn't a bootlegged HasTak mold.
>>5612314
Better for Hound, since Swindle usually carries his firearm on his wrists.
>>5612272

Those are the two dinobot varients i could find on the website, don't see anything else tho
>>5612345
Man, I wish he had a 5mm port on his wrists! I've got an Animated Swindle's cannon I'd gladly give to my CW one but it looks like shit on all the mounting points.
>>5612344
Oh ok lol damn when did those filters start, i havent seen filters on 4chan since the roodypoo days
>>5612351
I mean, the original had a spring and shit inside the tail, right? The ko company may have omitted those bits, ya know?
>>5612356
Last winter maybe? I remember everyone was going "same to be honest family" all during summer on several boards.
>>5612363
Should've filtered tfw/mfw

>>5612358
Well duh they did. That's why you're being called stupid. You're barely paying $5 for this. What are you expecting? Have you never had a KO? You're lucky if they can transform properly.

>>5612380
Not that anon, but you sure are salty for no damn reason.
>>5612391
Tsk, kids. You think "to be honest" is something pol invented. It's been around as an anagram longer than 4chan.
>>5612229
I like my Decepticons to tower over Autobots, so Leader, but the Leader seeker mold isn't that good.
Takara should use Combiner Wars/UW and the fact that they have two drill tank molds to use to do a Brave homage line, like the pitched "Braveformers". Give everyone handsome new facesculpts and maybe add some lionheads(or even Legends that form animal head chests.)
>>5612428
Not salty. It's just incredible the lack of common sense he has about the KOs. It's like he's never been in the hobby until today.
>>5612456
I'd cum buckets if we got Hyo/En/Rai/FuuRyu retools from CW Hotspot.
>>5612456
Only Takara would. Theyd sell like shit in the US.
>>5612496
Well yeah, I don't expect Hasbro to do anything cool. That said, I do think they'd sell in the US. I bought plenty of Brave bootlegs as a kid; they're innately cool designs kids like.
>>5612502
>I don't expect Hasbro to do anything cool. That said, I do think they'd sell in the US
It's not about "cool" or what you specifically like. Its the fact that the brave fan base here is nothing compared to Japan.
>>5612504
People will buy cool designs no matter what, though. Especially at retail prices. Yeah there's boring people who only buy G1 based stuff but there's also kids, other collectors, and weebs.
Hey I couldn't find the bts board in the catalog and I'm looking to buy some transformers. Did anyone see where it went?
>>5612456
>the pitched "braveformers"
Do tell
>>5612427
>>5612513
Don't be stupid. Look again.
>>5612513
Bst is what you want, not bts. Try again.
>>5612517
I can't find the image, but it was basically toys from the 2010 line done up in homage to Brave characters and Brave tropes, pitched to Takara as a way to localize those toys .It worked extremely well considering how stylistically different those toys are from Brave. Scramble city updates; arguably an "ancestor" to Brave, would look even more fitting.
>>5612139
is the only reason people hate 3rd party is because the prices?
i call bullshit on the greebles because CW has just as much as standard 3rd party toys.
>>5612549
Quality can be a bit of a crapshoot, too. Sometimes we get stuff that's higher quality than what HasTak's putting out, sometimes we get shit like most of KFC's figures and Apollyon.
>>5612549
>is because the prices?
That and we do have alot of Hasbro loyalists here I think.
>>5612555
There is no such thing as Hasbro loyalists, anon. Just like there's no domestic beer enthusiasts. There's just people who get annoyed by people who keep insisting Takara or 3rd party toys are better and getting Hasbro makes you a loser when they just buy Hasbro.
For the record I've probably bought more Takara than Hasbro in the last few years, not that that's much.
>>5612240
Actually it's been a lot longer. I remember getting one of these 10 years ago at a public zoo. They were "souvenirs" at the gift shop for this animatronic dinosaur exhibit.
so anymore info on what came of the supposed mass-purchase of the botcon megatron?
there's still just the same 6 or 7 auctions on ebay and no additions to bbts
>>5612570
Actually I lied, just noticed it was a Universe Dinobot. The coloring threw me off.
>>5612549
>is the only reason people hate 3rd party is because the prices?
The prices are high, and the quality can be a real toss of the dice. Those aren't reasons to hate them per se, at least, not all of them. Some are amazingly high quality, but it's also easy to get a shit figure if you don't research properly what is actually good.
Most of the shit against them here is just trolls trying to stir shit, in the same way threads occasionally go for 100 posts of people acting purely retarded.
>>5612549
>i call bullshit on the greebles because CW has just as much as standard 3rd party toys.
Actually that's a major reason I'm turned off by TR. This new design team seems to be going for a 3rd party style with a lot of these new toys I just don't find appealing.
Explaining why certain greebling looks bad to people who aren't necessarily design inclined is like explaining sound to the deaf. If you like it you like it, even if I don't. That said, I do think there's something to be said that when most Japanese mecha sculpts do greebling, its done considerably different than he type found in a lot of 3rd party figures. For one they tend to rely on a lot of hard angles and lines rather than varying things up with curved shapes and smooth areas. Japanese companies have defined what high-end robot toys look like for years and a lot of 3Ps stick out like a sore thumb. For the price I'd usually rather stick with Chogokin of Macross stuff.
Still, I'm not throwing the baby out with the bathwater, because a lot of 3Ps are getting a lot better and producing nicer work. The Quake-Shockwaves, for example, looked spectacular. I also thing the Giga Dinobots looked really good, as does that Liokaiser. There's a few more, too. also I do like original designs like Steel Core. I'd actually rather some 3Ps do original designs like that, I'd rather havecertain 3Ps, like the one behind SC, do their own ideas with their own style, than attempt to do Classics style stuff because they tend to look off.
>>5612549
We need more art that's directly based on CHUG toy designs.
>>5612571
We've got nothing. The guy is probably gonna sit on those 40 Megatrons for years.
Or possibly sell them one by one, spacing each item out so that no one notices that he was the guy.
>>5612571
Basically people just saw 4 guys buy up the last of the stock. someone claims they later saw one at the BBTS table.
I don't think the "big two", TFSource or BBTS, have put Megatron up on their websites yet. Its even possible the scalpers will just sit on Megatron for a while to keep the price high. The Megatron in your pic reaches over a grand so I can see this MEgatron reaching that high; or even higher.
>>5612591
The greebling thing I think is entirely subjective. There are people who love the intricately-detailed look, and there are those who prefer the 80s-boxes look.
Personally, I'm very much into the way these TR figures look. Maybe it's because I grew up with the Unicron Trilogy -- where plenty of designs had greeble detail -- and started collecting because of the Bay movies.
>>5612593
I tried making one like that, it was going to be Hasbro Defensor looking at a picture of groove, once I realised I'd need a drawing pad I gave up, I guess it's also somewhat unneeded now.
>>5612602
Heh, look at that, the paint's already scratched off of Weird-wolfs claws.
>>5612229
Thinking of picking this up. Fucking $89 AUD. First TF purchase since BW when I was a kid. Is it worth it?
>>5612611
No, is it because it's starscream?
>>5612252
>seem less articulated than the hfg ones.
Almost as if they're not meant to move, huh senpai?
>>5612613
Then what's the point? because they look better? barely.
>>5612611
If you like the mold why not.
>$89aud
Hay ausbro, isn't target having some sort of deal where you buy one get the other...dunno half price or some shit?
If there is anything else worth getting with it why not, if not I wouldn't bother.
I still swear by the hasbro mp I got for $120 personally
>>5612596
A GRAND?! Why didn't I hold on to mine longer, I don't even remember what I finally sold him for but I held on for years.
>>5612629
I want to say the Masterpiece figure is better, but having dealt with it, it's kinda meh.
>>5612629
Been going for awhile so possibly soon, not sure when the catalog expires but could be then, best check the site for ToS
>>5612630
The leader I *assume* would have more playability, I just tend to personally like the fact he looks close to animation model in robot (except the back) and the jet mode is 1/60, amazing
>>5612625
Yep, but I'd say its reached its peak, and we'll probably see a slow decent in prices. For the longest time it was the rarest and msot coveted BW Megatron figure, but 2016 Megs blows it out the water. and if we do get MP Beast Megatron as rumored, I can see those two diverting people from buying the old Botcon figure nowadays.
>Pre-orders for Blaster and PMOP go up on BBTS
>ETA: May
>>5612632
Yeah I'm thinking articulation wise, the leader might be somewhat better, especially in the crotch area.
>>5612641
>ETA: May
That's sooner than we thought. The listing for the Legends Class said they'd be out June.
>>5611880
That's what I meant by scramble city, that he could do an intra-gestalt scramble, not an inter-gestalt one.
Went to Wal-Mart and the good and bad:
The Sky Reign limbs are still fucking clogging the shelves.
The good news? We've FINALLY got new Voyagers after a year of being stuck with only Optimus/Silverbolt clogging shelves. Bruticus and Sky Lynx and in good quantities!
The bad news?
Wal Mart has raised the price of Voyagers, from $20 to $25.
>>5612662
>The Sky Reign limbs are still fucking clogging the shelves
What else will, they're the current wave, TR is still out
>>5612662
>Wal Mart has raised the price of Voyagers, from $20 to $25.
It's been that way for a long while. Did you just notice?
>>5612666
This so too fucking common with this general. They think as soon as one person sees one of a line, a prototype is bought, or the release date hits that the toys should be everywhere and complain after looking for one day on the release date. Then they act like a wave should be gone already even though it's been mass available for 2 weeks at most.
There is no patience with these people.
>>5612667
Well, anon did experience a year of nothing but CW Wave One.
>>5612641
This is super tempting. I really want PMOP and can't imagine seeing him in stores that soon
>>5612380
Hey now. I could only afford KOs during the first seasons of Beast Wars and they worked just fine.
The plastic handled friction like shit, though.
>>5612358
The original was a gun, though.
No spinning gimmick.
>>5612677
Never saw that change the price increase anywhere else that toys were collecting dust. So no. He wasn't paying attention. And Lord knows how many times that $25 price tag was brought up here.
>>5612229
I liked them as deluxes during the movie lines because there were 3 pretty good molds for them at that size.
I still doubt about the proper size for them because I think of seekers as lithe transformers even if planes are fuckhuge compared to cars.
>>5612692
4 times by my count between mid last year and now.
But I'm not here 24/7
>>5612700
...you don't have to be here 24/7 to know this.
>>5612675
I still hate the fuck out of this wave nonsense. Look at the previous thread's op. All the way into the Head/Target Masters era of G1 and they still have the Protectobots and Aerialbots listed.
So how about those borderline $20 Titan Returns Deluxes?
>>5612722
Where'd the price come from?
>>5612722
I can't believe Walky is allowed to live.
>>5612722
How much did the CW deluxes cost?
>>5612722
Walky sounds like some of the apologists on here.
>>5612763
The ones who parade Takara around unnecessarily?
>>5612722
>>5612549
>i call bullshit on the greebles because CW has just as much as standard 3rd party toys.
its not the amount of greebles thats the problem, its the those greebles are designed, and how pleasing they are to look at
>>5612164
Hambeast combiner confirmed, last seen heading for the buffet line.
>>5612734
i kekked at this. thank you
Is UW Menasor with the PE set worth it?
>>5612771
How are they apologists? it's more like fanboyism.
>>5612802
PE set def makes it better in combined mode
>>5612736
$16.99 according to HTS, most places refuse to hike up the prices of DXs except Toys R Us, who do have $20 deluxes that just collect dust.
Are these worth getting if one already has the Stunticons, but also has a Scattershot that could use Betatron limbs?
>>5612527
>>5612849
Same guys just recolored with new heads, if that appeals why not, I own UW menasor and the hasbro guys of these autobots and I have no issue.
I would of said leave the scattershot out but its too late
>>5612849
The only problem I have is Ironhide's legs not tabbing together for arm mode, but other than that the group feel pretty unique despite being minor retools.
>>5612852
My offroad and fireaid do that but not my trailbreaker, what gives?
My ironhide sits in foot mode normally so never noticed anything
>>5612851
Scattorshot came surplus with Onslaught since New Zealand is shit at getting new waves (we didn't get Motormaster or Battle Core Optimus) and I was afraid of missing the silver-chested wave and being stuck with the brown-chested Bruticus. Naturally silver Onslaughts are everywhere here now, though his Combaticon limbs are no where to be found.
>>5612852
My First Aid does that, but Offroad doesn't.
>>5612855
Did they really release a color variant of the combaticons?
>>5612864
I don't think so, but they were going to have a version of Onslaught where the Bruticus chest would be the colour of Onslaught's brown/green.
As far as I know it hasn't come out, and people who got the Onslaught who came with Sky Lynx reported getting the silver one as well, implying that this one has been cancelled.
>>5612229
I honestly prefer deluxe. I did like my old Classics seekers when they first came out and wish I still had them.
That said, having the main decepticons all in Leader class is kind of cool. I especially don't mind Megatron and Soundwave that size for sure. The Seekers are growing on me.
>>5612229
I really want to love this mold, but I just can't get past the fake cockpit, more so on the Seekers than Jetfire though.
>>5612879
but having the cockpit in his chest is IDW accurate, and idw is shit.
>>5612164
If the colors weren't so horrifyingly bad, and if not for the twins, I'd snap her up.
>>5612641
I heard that's because Entertainment Earth has the master distribution license and Hasbro dropped the individual direct accounts. So when EE doesn't have their act together, preorder periods are super short if they exist at at all.
>>5612675
And at the other end are areas where it's 4-6 months later and nothing has shown up yet. Distribution is massively fucked in the US and nobody wants to do anything about it.
>>5613008
>dropped the individual direct accounts
Hmm, out of spite because they all carry 3p?
custom (prototype)
complete:40% (2016/04/17)
>>5613029
this peaks my interest
Who wants instructions?
I got 2 hasbro shockies, getting a takara as the camera shutter just to trigger people
>>5612722
$10, HA! Wally World had deluxe at $7.77 for the first Bayformers movies, all deluxes, even better prices with "the coupon"
The the whole "oil pricing" thing, it's back down to nearly what it was pre 9/11, so inflation/cost argument is bullshit. $12 max for deluxes
>>5613077
But the dollar had far higher buying power pre-9/11.
>>5613065
>I got 2 hasbro shockies, getting a takara as the camera shutter just to trigger people
Sounds like a good setup, actually. At least you're not making an asymmetrical mess with G2 Shockwave.
Also, did the three-pack come with any instructions? That configuration looks different from the ones people were posting from BotCon itself.
>>5613100
Actually its just as bad, remember takara's colors, its a VERY different purple.
Not that I know of, I found it at one point but I kinda like this set up.
I actually got my 2 hasbro shockers set up in the rear position
>>5613109
>middle connection
Didn't see that before. How sturdy does it make the whole camera?
So I got pic related in the mail and he's my first modern mp. Gotta say I was more than pleased. Can't put the guy down. And yes, pics don't do it justice. It's weird almost an illusion. My initial problem was I thought the front was too long, but it's actually just really flat.
>>5613126
Also got offshoot and a mp10 matrix off chimungmung. I may have to learn to 3d print though, because offshoots handle doesn't fit in Rod's hand the way it's supposed to.
>>5613109
I wanna see a chain of those three plus your two Shockwaves, all connected.
>>5613131
>>5613131
>MP-28 plus Offshoot and a Matrix
Looks like a lot of fun. How's the fit on that Matrix?
>>5613122
Well the backpart holds but definitely an open handed display and not something you can hold as an actual camera, I just tend to like the look better
Otherwise, here is the "official" method

He ain't really meant to hold the maxtrix, but he does look great.
I just wish he was a rodimus prime
>>5613133
I'm not sure how to process the image in my head of your request but maybe someone with access to more will do it
>>5613134
I love how wild the size difference is between modes. And the complexity of it is refreshing
>>5613135
Pretty damn solid. Adds a considerable amount of heft to him. I'd actually recommend getting an action stage with it. He has the little port for it on his ass and it does help alot, mostly because his ankles are kinda weak going backwards. But the matrix feels right and I already found myself referring to it as rodimus prime
>>5613136
I actually want it now. Makes you wonder if this was designed before shockwave. I also love how the it goes out of the way to show that it's a camera instead of just being a rectangle with stickers. That was a neat surprise.
>>5612867
Wow, I hadn't seen that for awhile, I forgot how shitty it looks. Still, I wouldn't have minded seeing that come out as a running change, along with a greener Brawl for those that wanted it. Looks like the Autobot deluxes are going to be the easy to find thing again though.
>>5612384
You're in a thread for people who collect toys about robot cars
You really shouldn't need to ask this
>>5613141
>an action stage
Which companies make compatible stands? I know they've been giving TFs that standardized peghole since Thrilling 30, but I don't have any experience with flight stands and stages.
I see some Bandai "ACTION STAGE" packs near the Gundam kits at our toy stores, but I've never touched them.
>>5613161
I don't remember the band but it was a cheap little 5 dollar stand on amiami. Really any 1:12 stand. This one came with a bunch of extra parts to combine with other stands
>>5612797
my problem are 3P upgrades that dont mesh with the official figures
look at these upgrades for Magnus, the shins have like five types of paint apps and dont look right on him
So I want to get the CW Devastator, since I think it looks cool but i'm kind of worried because I've heard cases of parts breaking and it just being generally fragile, how is it in that department?
>>5613182
same company also made upgrades for CW Devastor, and it really clashes with his G1 style. look at those forearms!
So I love the bit mode on the upcoming MP Primal, but I've always hated his show gorilla model, especially the face. I was considering just getting either the Tak or Telemocha version. I know someone I can get the telemocha one for about ~45. I'd probably just put it on display with like Mammoth Convoy anyway so the smaller deluxe one might be better, but the mp's bit mode is pretty nice. Thoughts?

>since I think it looks cool but i'm kind of worried because I've heard cases of parts breaking and it just being generally fragile, how is it in that department?
i heard some people snapped the tabs that connect Hook and Long Haul, but i got no problems with it.
very fun set, seems quite sturdy to me. I'd get UW Devastator though, it made Long Haul my favorite
>>5613182
I half agree with this. The takara set looks better, obviously, and it adds details like that all over, even on his back and under feet. Like it made me kinda want um now
>>5613188
Goddamnit, bit should be bot. Thanks, autocorrect.
>>5613183
>>5613190
Yeah, despite his failings, devy doesn't really feel fragile, except for maybe the shoulder joints on a couple, but I don't remember which one's are which. Overall i don't feel like I need to worry while messing with him. If you can get him at or below msrp I actually think he's pretty worthwhile.
I'm looking at getting the DNA upgrade kit because I think it meshes the best And looks the best.
>>5613188
I've always thought the RM robot mode looked like shit compared to the Ultra. It looks very stubby and deformed. If you're pouring $45 into it I think you'd be better off just buying the MP, i'll be much better in the long run even if you never transform it. The MP seems to be just a bit smaller than the original Ultra so maybe it'd scale nice with Big Convoy too, though not as well as the RM.
>>5612549
nope, it's cause they suck.
>>5613183
He's very stable, looks great and commands respect. He's also pretty fun to mess with. He has a lot of tiny tabs and thin plastics, but if you don't put stress on them they'll hold. Basically remain alert when transforming him and make sure you don't absentmindedly try to move parts while the tabs are still in them.
I paid about $270nz for him, and I'm happy.
>>5613183
Only thing I'd worry about is the hollow tab that connects Hook's legs together for transformation. Everything else feels reasonably sturdy.
>>5612568
>getting Hasbro makes you a loser when they just buy Hasbro.
they can't handle the bantz? what a bunch of sissies.
>>5612173
So THAT's why Victorion looks ridiculous. Not only is it using the beefier arms on a Female Combiner, but they're mistransformed. I knew I was missing something.
I don't really care for the Transformers comics but this dude is rockin'. Reminds me of some concept art for the prototype stage of Transformers Animated.
Kind of disappointed there's no toy. Didn't a lot of the comics dudes get toys in 2013/14?
>>5613274
Mastermind Creations is making Tarn, they're calling him Kultur. no release date yet though
>>5612602
I like the intricate details on the new Con *Masters. It help makes them feel more 'alive' with not having a lot of flat and smooth surfaces like vehicles would have.
>>5613009
That's a reasonable amount to complain.
>>5613009
How do you know the problem is on the distribution side, and not the store side? Even if the toys are supposed to be available, you're not going to see them on shelves if the store never ordered them to begin with.
This is cute

This is 4chan. You expect anything other than lonely, horny, depraved people?
>>5613322
Why is gundam being violated by a generic slut in bodypaint?
>>5612139
i dont get it
why is it called Wingwolf mode?? Sixshot's wolf mode already has wings!
>>5613278
Actually they were listed on MMC's site for a release last year. MMC's way behind it seems though, last thing they dropped out was their Not-Ravage and Not-Kaon.
>>5613335
they said they'd announce Kultur's release date on may. and that they hope to release him this fall
>>5613338
Hope that means their Not-Overlord is coming soon. He was supposed to be out before Not-Tarn, wasn't he?
>>5613326
Because she needs the money, Anon, and Bombshell doesn't pay much.
>>5613338
Awesome, it's about fucking time. I hope they've worked on the design some more too with all this extra time they've had.
>>5613183
No problems on mine. Granted, I have the UW one. (Best $200 I spent on a TF)
>>5613334
That reminds me, are there any other examples of canonical fanmodes in TF fiction? I actually forgot Sixshot's wingwolf mode was a thing.
>>5613308
go away
>>5613029
Holy shit that's looking good.
bought this guy for 24 gbp
>>5613392
Okay.
>>5613384
Why? It's cute.
>>5613392
Must of been a good boy to save up those points!
>>5613402
No. The "okay" guy has been doing that for a few threads now. Just ignore him.
>>5613406
Okay.
>>5613402
Dunno, but converting that, and working out my currencies, then remembering you have import tax...
You did alright.
>>5613399
Don't mind them, a lot of people still think being uncaring and unfun is hip and trendy
>>5613416
>people come here to bitch about imperfections on collectors grade mp's
>people bitch about early teens generations toys
>no one gives the slightest of shits of baby toys apart from the gimmick-con bots
>high probability the video is a shill attempt/self promotion
I don't think its about caring or no one would respond
>>5612602
I think they tow the line but it's sensical and has a logic to unlike most third party designs where it's used to simply break up any clean area.
>>5613402
No. We just don't care.
>>5613421
>people come here to bitch about imperfections on collectors grade mp's
>people bitch about early teens generations toys
Really? I came here to talk about Transformers. They're cool.
>>5613041
The word is "piqued," you dumb motherfucker.
>>5613428
Agreed I also like it when we take photos and share those
>>5613428
So did the bitchers, its called discussion, they whinge about a problem, then possible fixes are suggested before taking the beef out on the company/ham hands/distributors
The one thing they share is their love of transformers, love isn't all "omg the articulation is amazing" or "I like how big devastator is", nothing is perfect.
>>5613433
Agreed
>>5613429
And I like my interest to hit its peak, plateau, top of the charts, the tip of the shaft.
I have my own words and usage, drongo
>>5613278
Looks like Sixshot and Prime Shockwave had a baby.
>>5613453
Shockshot
>>5613453
His whole shtick is that he leads a group of enforcers to kill any Decepticons that defy the cause and Megatron's will. The main problem is that he prioritizes his interpretation of the Decepticon cause over Megatron's actual intentions and would rather kill Megatron for not living up to it than admit he was wrong.
>>5613467
His whole schtick is he's been built up way too fucking much and needs to get the shit kicked out of him, honestly. It got a bit too retarded at "lol we have spehshul fuel that somehow makes us superior to Phase Six 'bots. Also even though we're a bigass group made to try and deal with such things somehow Megatron didn't equip us with shutoff phrases like he did the actual Phase Six'ers.".
It's almost to the point of writers wank over how COOL and EVIL and BADASS they are.
>>5613453
You rang?
Is PRID Soundwave worth it?
>>5613507
Yes
>>5613485
To me he always came across as a character that specifically existed to ultimately get the shit beat out of him.
He's so played up that when someone finally tears him apart physically and/or psychologically, it'll be a joy to behold.
All throughout the comic his only kill count has been Literally Whos, and the one time they fight someone like Grimlock they have to retreat.
>>5613433
me too
>>5613530
It'll probably be someone we don't expect like Starscream
Either that, or someone even more fanwank like Windblade or Victorion
>>5613507
Get the late-90s RAD colors version.
Not as cool as early-90s neon colors but still RAD.
>>5612442
Get the Igear Seekers, they tower over autobots but looked perfectly submissive next to CW megs
>>5613433
>>5613531
You guys come up with some great photos. I just wish I knew how to not take such shitty photos all the fucking time. I can light my place up like 4th of July and it still looks like ass. It's either too light and blurry, or too dark and blurry.
>>5613501
I find it pretty weird that there has been no shockwaves repainted into this guy since Energon.
>>5613553
You and me both, pal.
Speaking of Soundwave, doesn't his use of Laserbeak make him a Deployer?
That really sounds like something that would sell in the RID line.
>>5613546
>>5613579
It's not a flying puck.
>>5613537
Plus it has ravage.
>>5613579
They aren't going to bring many prime characters back. Its about the new gen.
>>5613535
Starscream already had his moment when he used Metalhawk's absurd arm kibble to cleave Drift's old boss's head in half.
I feel like the person that does in Tarn will be either Megatron, verbally or physically breaking Tarn to the point of suicide, or Rodimus actually taking initiative on something for once and saving his co-captain.
>>5612229
Deluxe, since we've never had a classics voyager Seeker. I have no idea why, you'd think there'd at least be a Starscream.
>>5613605
Really? I just started the show since its on Netflix so I'll look forward to that.
This show has changed the way I look at the figures I have from the line though.
Now I wish steeljaw's figure was good.
>>5613605
Huh, that sounds like an episode worth watching.
>>5613617
huh...
>>5613583
Dear Diary,
Today I broke out of the Autobot junkyard prison. I met some crazy frogbot and told I'd lead him to a secret city of treasure. We stole a tank and had a road trip to Cancun. He never did find that treasure.
Love
Quillfire.
>>5613622
>But it's still a minicon.
There's a difference between soundwave's surveillance pet and a RID minicon.
