>Waiting for shit to arrive
What do you have on the way, /toy/?
I just received a bunch of stuff (and everything else is a pre-order for later summer), so the only thing on the way for me is Victorion.
Just a warning from a chink Facebook page
>no starsaber no does exist
He was reviewing the differences, it's close but not perfect, it's hk-tf and a recent post, you should find it easy enough, can't post own images due to limited bandwidth, just answering for a guy who asked last thread
>>5637631
Ordered a warrior quillfire and legends wreckgar yesterday from HTS. Was excited because Thunderhoof was in stock too, but apparently he wasnt. Oh well. I'll see him in stores soon I'm sure.
>>5637625
What's a good BW basic to get?
I have:
Air Hammer
Bantor
Buzzclaw
Terrorsaur
Armordillo
Stinkbomb
Optimus Minor
Sonar
Nightglider
Drill Bit
Kinda want to get Noctorro. Any other suggestions?
>>5637647
Terrorgator and Stampy.
>>5637631
Nightglider and a TIE interceptor
>>5637631
Waiting to see how much my bills are this month so I can budget my cash properly since I handle all bills before planning purchases. Once I figure that out, gonna divide it up between some IDW collections, Revoltech's, maybe a TR Blaster if anyone has them in stock.

I will, but I want to see them first-hand before I decide if I should buy them or not.
>>5637646
Make sure to check both the website as well as the ebay store. I know it doesn't make sense, but sometimes one will show out of stock while the other will have it.

/tfg/, what are your favorite TF head designs?
even though i never saw the show or had the toys, i always thought Guyhawk has one of the best looking head. i love it when the robot's animal theme is represented on his helmet, and his shades are quite cool
>>5637773
I dont know why but I love me some mouthplates and random vents on the sides of heads, or up on the top of the head in a big head fin.
>>5637773
Not waiting for anything but got some random stuff off the shelves.
>>5637773
Car robots design for convoy and his omega form.
Masterforce/victory for the more manga styled super robot variations of ginrai and star saber also liokaiser.
>>5637773
>>5637647
Optimus Primal Bat and Gator Megatron
>>5637777
Damn I can't ever get enough of galaxy force headsculpt.
>>5637776
Could've been, but it's not.
Suck it up and deal with it.
>>5637773
Man, it really sucks that Hasbro most likely won't do the individual heads for Liokaiser properly.
Instead of gorgeous headsculpts we can expect straight repaints.
>>5637768

The RID minicons could be great fun, it's a shame that Crazybolt is the only Deployer that's worth getting.
>>5637796
The dino one looks awesome.
>>5637647
Razorclaw and Powerpinch.
Iguanus is good when it comes to flip-changers.
>>5637812
From the upcoming minicons shown above, it seems that they are abandoning the deployer gimmick altogether.
>>5637811
Assuming it's actually a "death".
We know some robots who have survived being headless, not counting Bayformers Frenzy.
>>5637832
mass shifting
>>5637833
Ah, right, so he can shrink down? I've always liked that idea, that a guy can turn into unshrunk form of what's normally a small altmode, it's kinda cool to see it weaponised.
>>5637773
Universe Sunstreaker! I like how his "ears" are shaped on this iteration way more than in the G1 cartoon/toy
>>5637647
Stampy's pretty good
>>5637736
>tfw you'll probably buy Victorion when you go cross boarder shopping next month.
>>5637736
As if the color didn't murder this figure before it was even born.
>>5637811
Dude. A comic about a race of robots who have been at war since before our ancestors walked upright, and you suggest an onscreen kill is for shock value? Not hating, but that is dumb. Death and destruction is the order of the day for Transformers - all day, every day.
>>5637767

But of course! It's Seibertron, after all.

The evilest transformer ever.
>>5637777
Was Galaxy Convoy's head referencing Star Convoy and Primal at once?
>>5637811
Wasn't shock value, roadbuster couldn't escape the torment that turantulas caused him, killing cadets/causing his insanity. His last ditch effort was a 1v1to distract turantulas to let the others escape. But he failed in that regard
>>5637773

>>5637948
Shit looks nice.
What's he supposed to be usually?
>>5637625
So I put this together after only seeing the leaks today.
2017 Wave One is essentially the third wave of Titans Return in general, right?

Basically BW Wolfang but with a new head and retooled tail.

There's a good chance.
>>5637971
Left must be the ko, there were more shots but I don't see the differences and they're posting in chinese so I can't work them out.
All in all, if you have bias against ko's AVOID chinese sellers, they're not listing them as ko's much like the mp11 ko's
>>5637948
That looks awesome.
shit i should get some minicons.
>>5637957

Call me retarded, but I just now realized something
>Liokaiser is made of Breastforce members
>Skylinx mold is can't have a torso legend component
>>5637957
>Sixshot
I wonder if his headmaster will be called Shockblast
>>5637956
Some kind of mini-knight
>>5637990
But what is his alt mode, a sword? He only looks like a lance on Fracture's gun.
I like the sword and shield detail though.
Now I see why they called it 'Armada'
>>5637989
>Skylinx mold is can't have a torso legend component
Perhaps you are, obviously hasbro's liokaiser will lack the breastforce gimmick, if takara tries they'll have to retool the lot of them, I'd be fine if they just homaged the breast dudes as paint apps.
>I wonder if his headmaster will be called Shockblast
If shockwave was a titan master this would be a fitting reference, but thankfully we have other 6 way transformers who's names we can steal and use like greatshot...or even shadowmaru if we want to throw the whole transformers limitation out the window
>>5637957
Sixshot as a Titan? When did that ever come out? I assumed leader (and really hope not a voyager)
Also, the fact that Mini-Cons ever went away is a crime against fun.
>>5637993
Damn, that looks good. Is everybody on /tfg/ buying Tidal Waves now?
This little guy looks fucking weird. At first, he was the gimpy one of the Mini-Con team, but he grew on me quickly. Looks like something from Quintessa
>>5637995
Oh sorry. I put him in the box because he's an unknown; no wave, no size class, nowhere else to place him.
Should've made that clearer.
>>5637992
His official name is "lance"-lon, so...
>>5637736
>FIRMLY GRASP IT
>>5637989
>his headmaster will be called Shockblast
>>5637957
add Overlord to the possibility list.
Thinking of making my first custom, just a repaint of smokescreen into bluestreak.
What tools do I need, specifically for the pins in some places, I'd rather pull him apart a little than mask joints and brace for the consequences
>>5637993
>>5637996
>>5637999
I actually remember buying those Water Minicons in France in a set pack with Armada Hoist, Terrorsaur and I think the Emergency Minicon team from a French store when I went there to France in 2004.
Those minicons are like the only ones who never got a repaint in Cybertron...why I don't know? Luckily I'm glad I still got them.
>>5637957
More like yesterday but whatever.
Good chance sixshot would be a leader class but I have no evidence.
>dat kickback
kickback a cute, CUTE, nice space filler
>>5638014
They're on ebay as we speak, look for the chinese sellers posting below the mark
>>5638009
I'd love to, but we don't have art on him, a size class, or an estimate on which wave he'll be in.
>>5638019
if they follow this years pattern maybe list them as leaders with ??? around them, but that's your call.
I appreciate your work btw
>>5638001
I think Sixshot is gonna be Leader class simply for remolding purpose.
Greatshot's head has spikes, so he would need the helmet gimmick in order to work as a headmaster.
Titans Return Nautica is going to be a Blurr remold according to the leakers. Also a new Perceptor and Sixshot is indeed a leader class.
>>5638034
Source?
>>5638037
The thread on TFW. Where all the other leaks came.
>>5638034
>Leader class Perceptor
He's gonna be a Blaster retool isn't he?
I mean just slap a big gun onto his base mode and you got yourself a microscope.
>>5638052
I really dig those base-forming ones, shame all three of them seem to lack torso twisting, still gonna get Blaster
Hope we can see in the future Zone toys, with a resurgence of proper minicons
>>5638038
>>5637957
>>5637995
Okay, small edit to clarify that Sixshot is rumored to be a Leader figure.
Anything else that should be up here? I'm trying to avoid putting in anyone who doesn't have any art leaks, with Kickback as the one exception.
>>5637812
we bakugan now
>>5638074
Is that Laser Optimus actually a voyager? The front painting just seems so simple
Where did scoponok come in the fan poll?
I want him after trypticon so fort max has a play friend, fuck omega supreme
>>5638087
To be honest, I would prefer Scorponok as Leader Class rather than Titan.
>Scales with PM Optimus like in the comics
>Perfect for the helmet gimmick
>>5638094
And this is where things would get divided between takara and hasbro, scorps would work on that level for hasbro, but takara would give fort max his arch rival.
Can always give him a giant fuck huge helmet on a titan
>>5638074
What's the source on Kickback, when was that leaked?
>>5638086
>Is that Laser Optimus actually a voyager?
The leaks suggest so, and he seems to have that collar/partial-helmet section that the other Voyagers have. Interestingly, the leaked image doesn't specify the size class.
># 345576 TRANSFORMGERS GENERATIONS VOYAGER CLASS - MEGATRON
># 345577 Optimus Prime
>>5637625
What's /tfg/ waiting for? Galvatron is my most hyped figure, but I'm afraid he might be tough to get for a few weeks when he's released, so I'm excited for pic related, I feel like he'll be a shelfwarmer I can get easily.
>>5637736
So she gets custom hands and they _still_ can't hold the sword? For crying out loud, I'd there anything they can't bungle?
>>5637757
Oh no I know. I checked the eBay store before HTS because I saw the eBay store had every TF on sale. Once I went to HTS I saw the sale going on and quillfire in stock. I was nervous about Thunderhoof from the product images anyways. They don't do him favors. I'll be better once I see him in person. Thanks though.
>>5638100
>scorps would work on that level for hasbro, but takara would give fort max his arch rival.
seeing as how Hasbro goes for toy accuracy, leader scorp would actually be accurate to scale with the new fort max~
>>5638115
The possibility of him being a voyager I assume would be high seeing how we have the old deluxe which was godly (in looks anyway) and we have PM prime as leader, I wouldn't understand if it was another leader but I don't work for them.
He looks quite involved yet simple, I'm curious to the truck mode
>>5638133
But not anime accurate, regardless either size would put scorps out with a group of fans.
The fact he was in the fan poll rules him out unless they give us a female titan or some horseshit
>>5638133
Toy deco accuracy, anon, toy deco and maybe a new accessory
Mega zarack redeco when?
>>5638100
Yeah, Scoponok was more associated with Fort Max in Japan so it's a tough one.
I don't think they would do Black Zarak if they went for Titan Class though.
>>5638104
They're going hard core on the Insecticons, so it's pretty much a given.
We're probably also gonna get a Barrage from CW Bombshell.
>>5638144
thats such a nice drawing of Black Zarak. but i always wondered what that line was on his mouth. that couldnt have been on the toy, could it?
>>5638144
>I don't think they would do Black Zarak if they went for Titan Class though.
Its a redeco with a new head, it'd be easy.
Its just the fact the releases only follow a simple course of
>hasbro announces
>shows their versions
>takara improves
Very few takara only redecos into new characters exist
>>5638034
>Leader Perceptor
YES. I've been wanting a new one for eons. Fuck the RTS figure, he's going for sale now.
>Nautica from Blurr.
Not sure how to feel about it, I hope it's a heavy retooling.
>Leader Sixshot.
Fuck Yes.
>>5637773
>>5638151
It's a matter of how well it would sell.
People could afford to buy both molds as Leader, but not two Titan ones.
>>5637997
It's because Tidal Wave fits in perfectly with the Titans Return stuff.
look, he even has a dinky Micromaster-style base mode
>>5638074
>>5638034
>>5638157
am i the only one who wants a voyager Sixshot??? i want him to look normal next to the other toys. no need to be so big
>>5638115
Real window chest or fake?
>>5638169
if you want a lot of modes and an actual step up from G1 engineering, he's probably going to have to be Leader
>>5638009
This kind of shit is why people here hate the tumblr side of the fandom.
>>5638166
dude, that mode is actually not bad. the seats make it seem like an actual mode.
i dont know if i'd call it a base?? but it seems like a nice place for decepticons to just go and chill. maybe Ramjet can serve tea?
>>5638016
>More like yesterday but whatever
You know. People don't always browse the internet everyday so yeah. He could've not seen the leaks until his today.
>>5638179
Given the gap in the middle and the nautical theme I kind of see it as a bay or a dock, and I'm probably going to pop it up against the back of Trypticon's City mode when he finally releases
>>5638171
The lines and color codes suggest what it actually is, nothing clear there muh boi
>>5638180
Ok, I'll give you that only to avoid a shitstorm the last time people argued about not seeing news from earlier dates.
>>5638169
I just want him to scale with CW Ultra Magnus since they were kind of rivals in the anime.
>>5638117
But he looks awful. I love orange and and all, but he's an eyesore.
>>5638166
>>5638179
>reminder that there will never be a Tidal Wave with show accurate colors
>>5638188
>rivals in the anime
Good thing titans return is its own thing then :)
>>5638191
Speaking of which, when the fuck is takara gonna get a move on with their astrotrain?
If they're smart they won't even try a sentinel prime much like jiaxus
>>5638193
What about Takara's - it's about 90% there, and I'd say the orange makes him look even better
>>5638201
What's the articulation like, can it least go beyond show accuracy and do some semi dynamic stuff like the cw combiners?
>>5638191
I just like him, I think he looks decent and I like the character. And I'm happy I can take advantage of him not being wanted by many. Besides, it looks like the mold is decent.
>>5638205
Nah. Armada was certainly a mixed bag which ranged from brick to backflips, but Tidal Wave's somewhere in the middle. Elbows and some great shoulders, and even a bit of ankle work - but no knees, unless you want them bending sideways and having Tidal Rickets
>>5638197
I understand people being excited for takara colors, but I'm more excited for the Hasbro version.
Not that the dark gray and purple doesn't look good, I'm just a sucker for black and white color schemes.
That and having a decepticon with much different colors than a usual decepticon will look cool with the rest in my opinion.
If the new Blitzwing is good then I'll also get that. I generations blitzwing, but it will probably be fun to have the headmasters of the triple changers hang out for shits and giggles.
>>5638213
Well he is IDW accurate as well if that's your thing
>>5638213
Probably very unlikely, but do you think Blitzwing might have two additional headmasters? I personally think that'd be cool, but since they already gave him 3 faces for the Generations toy, I doubt that'll happen.
>>5638223
Doubt it, but I think it would be fun if they have may be the crazy face for the headmaster face.
>>5638201
baah, i dont know man. the color placement is right, but the shades used arent accurate. also he got a weird black face.
i'm thinking of buying that one, removing the orange and making the face silver...
>>5638117
same.
I hope it's not too bad his shelfwarming, like almost no one seems to want him.
Hopefully the Titans Returns comic can make him at least seem cool....I doubt since the events usually suck ass.

Shit, I did not realise how much I want this, it'd be a perfect CHUG-style Megazarak. You've opened my eyes to an unfulfillable need, anon, and I can't tell if I should love or hate you for it.
>>5638245
>I'm still waiting for Megazarak from Generations Armada Megatron.
i dont like megazarak, but having that repaint would be nice, as a i dont like him looking too much like Armada Megatron
>>5638258
Both I guess?
Tidalwave is beast.
>>5638117
I'll wait for the Takara repaint in real Sentinel colors.
>all the tidal wave in this thread
Has anyone noticed that his 'stern grimace' actually looks smug as fuck
>>5638034
Why is everyone saying Perceptor is a leader based on this post? It says "new Perceptor" and "Sixshot is a Leader class," those are two separate, unrelated thoughts
>>5638312
Tidal Wave's facial expression reminds me of Guru from DBZ for some reason.
>>5638062

Tidal Wave's character model made his big chin piece go up over his entire lower lip. It's more obvious in Energon. Very few TFs have this as a design element so it's very cool here
>>5638331
>custom
>fake and gay
Pick one
>>5638166
When Tidal Wave first got leaked online before any official announcements(in the pre 2009 days hen we'd get factory leaks ALL THE TIME), Cosmic Rust had the first pics of it and they actually made a really nice base mode for it, since they thought it was meant to be a baseformer(obviously factory leak=no instructions.)
>>5638193
In all honesty I prefer the US toy colors. The anime colors are kinda bland and generic Decepticon. Hasbro's are unique and feel a bit more aquatic to me. Plus the Armada game is my definitive armada experience, and they used Hasbro's colors.
>>5638328
I hope its a jet of some kind, because then we can get an Octane retooling.
>>5638325
>The chance we'll get a repaint to that g1 side character is lower than the chance of getting mp jiaxus.
Takara can and will do stupid American bullshit if they think there's a market. Grand Galvatron has IDW Roller in it for some reason.
>>5638346
...that is a good point actually, though I honestly feel they threw him in since...who else can roll with a bunch of dead guys?
I'd of liked a better version of generations jiaxus though but alas it never came, not even takara bothered to find use for the retooled generations starscream body
>>5637957
Wait, so you're telling me that so far, we have no clue when Brainstorm comes out? He's not in wave 1, 2, or 3.
>>5638015
Probably because they got a redeco in Armada, along with the emergency team.
>>5637798
Not him, but I always intended to get Takara Bruticus, Hasbro Shockwave, and Hasbro Onslaught... then a friend calls me a 2 months ago, and goes:
-Hey, I don't want the Hasbro Combaticons anymore; do want them?
-Thanks, but I'm getting Takara Bruticus, and I already have Onslaught.
-I'll sell you the limbs for $12.
-Done.

I know, but isn't that strange? Normally the exclusive in the set is released around the same time as the regular release, give or take a wave. This would mean that people would have to wait until the fourth wave to get Brainstorm. A full year after he was revealed.
>>5638415
HB's Gobots has no substance anyway.

>Tidal Wave's character model made his big chin piece go up over his entire lower lip. It's more obvious in Energon. Very few TFs have this as a design element so it's very cool here
i agree. i like that design because its used in Brave sometimes. most notably on Great Da Garn GX
So what's the TF (related) show with the best hand-drawn animation? Victory? Armada? Headmasters 2?
>>5638434
About 20 minutes from each of those shows. I think Transformers Zone wins overall due to it just being an OVA, thus it got to low its budget in one go, rather than center it to certain scenes like the others. 2D animation hasn't been kind to Transformers.

Isn't that green bot a Sixshot dude too?
HAMMER OF JUSTICE
Definitely getting the blue autobot version.

Nope, Seven Changer is a unique mold for a Brave villain actually.

Mouth plates. Shit looks cool. Also non-standard heads, like Shockwave, IDW Guzzle, etc. Also distinctly "Japanese" heads and faces too, like Wreckgar, Springer and Hotrods face/helmet designs, Predaking, etc.
>>5637811
It's a Wreckers story. Wreckers stories are literally about placing bets on who will be alive by the end of them. They're a callback to stories where a band of tough dudes go in on some suicide mission and half the fun is seeing who is still alive (if anyone) by the end of it.
An actual shocking death was when Tarn just randomly ripped off Kaon's head because Overlord called Tarn a faggot and he went into an autistic rage.

i love this guy, he basically exists to one-up Sixshot. makes sense cause the guy who made Sixshot also helped design Seven Changer
>>5638472
he's quite cool, also he's voiced by Dio
>>5638421
Kill yourself, you joyless grimdark hipster.
>>5638502
>one-up Sixshot
Sixshot has also the Wingwolf mode and will now be an headmaster too, so he's kind on par with him
>>5638502
>he basically exists to one-up Sixshot
>Bitches don't know about my secret seventh mode
>>5638117
He's going to be Scattershot levels of shelfwarming most likely. Expect EVERYONE to only be selling him in a 2 pack with his wavemate to get rid of him.
just got combiner wars ironhide, mixed but generally positive feelings.
Looking at the headsculpt, I can't shake the feeling they've gone for a robo-clint eastwood vibe.
>>5638169
G1 Sixshot is huge, man. He's bigger than todays Leader class. He's actually taller (due to his wings) than even the 3P one.
>>5638013
You'll need a pin punch less than 1 mm in diameter, a mallet, and a soldering iron to deal with flat riveted parts. There are guides online on how to deal with both pin types.
Also, you'll need a small screwdriver set (duh) and maybe a blowdryer if you have one laying around to heat up and pop off balljoints that won't come off easily. Hot water can work too.
Good luck, and tell me what color layout and stuff you use! I need to make a Bluestreak for my collection as well.
>>5638539
Cheers for the info, the soldering iron kinda worries me but I'm sure I can work something else perhaps.
I lack creativity, it'd be just prowl's layout with a black hood most likely, might sand off the light bar or something or I can leave it on for shits and giggles.
>>5638074
At least this means Hot Rod's getting a new mold instead of being a retool of Chromedome, since I doubt they'll put the same mold in the same wave.
>>5638542
It's probably just gonna be a Hardhead repaint.
>>5638583
>Hasbro's head is original toy-accurate
>Takara's head is Marvel, IDW, and G1 cartoon/anime-accurate
Now this is dilemma
>>5638601
To me it depends entirely on how much Hasbro's deluxes will go for.
>>5638601
>one is ugly
>the other is based faceplate toy accuracy
I see no dilemma here.
>>5638601
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro released the Takara versions as a late wave Titan Masters release with just recolored vehicles from the previous waves
>>5638601
>Takara's head is IDW, and anime-accurate.
Not really, both of those don't have mouthplates but they are different, plus the IDW altmode is based on the universe Hardhead.
I'm going with Hasbro on this one, the Takara facesculpt looks a bit "soft".
>>5638577
Hopefully he's a pretool of Siren or Nightbeat.
Do you guys think that Generations Rattrap has near-MP levels of engineering?
You know, with some mods I think Robotmasters Star Saber could make a decent Generations Legends class guy.
Sucks I don't have the nosecone and blade for mine.
>>5638232
Sick Tidal Wave, bro.
Where'd ya find it?
>>5638639
If it managed a way to cover the belly and squeeze in some extra joints it would have been an MP.
>>5638644
actually i shopped it real quick to make that reply!
glad you like it!
>>5638641
its funny because most Legends toys have more articulation than RM Star Saber
>>5638639
I think that a lot of toys have the same or near the same levels of articulation.
The only real difference at this point is MP's just having a bigger budget so they can do fancier transformations in an effort to be more G1 accurate.
>>5638651
Cool.
I would have made the cockpit windows on his shoulders a dark purple to stand out from the rest of the purple.

To me, the CYberjets commercial was the most 90's of them all.
THIS JUST IN BREAKING NEWS:
MP-24 Star Saber has been KO'ed. Watch your wallets on ebay friends. Don't get swindled.

I think this was one of the figures designed by the MP Engineers.

Gotta love Space Case

We'll get plenty of G2 homages, so long as you mean homages to the G1 repaints in the line. See, the CW G2 box sets, G2 MP Bumblebee and Lambor, and so on. We are getting a new Laser Prime, though; albeit one that looks worse than the original toy.
New toys of original G2 characters are less certain. Unfortunately there was no original G2 cartoon so nostalgia for it isn't as strong.I don't think we'll ever get a big G2 revival. Especially when more popular series like Beast wars and armada barely get new stuff.

Dont forget the awesome Dreadwing Rap. That takes the cake.

What's the point in headmasters if they won't even bother painting them properly?
Thank god Takara knows what the fuck they're doing.
I'm bored /toy/, lets see some pics of transformers doing whatever.
>>5638689
>New toys of original G2 characters are less certain
we did get the deluxe laser Prime and Dreadwing. Thing is, there weren't that many new molds in G2 to start with, and even fewer of them were the newer articulated body type. Some could easily be done as repaints.
>>5638639
maybe if his elbows could bend more than 60 degrees he'd be MP level

>Yeah, Scoponok was more associated with Fort Max in Japan so it's a tough one.
And he wasn't in America? G1 Skorps was Fort Max's rival in the comics as well and was featured prominently enough to leave an impact whereas the cartoon only had Headmasters in 3 episodes.
>>5638730
No one read the comics.
