On a scale from Grand Convoy to Grand Galvatron, how good is Takara Reign going to be?

Here is old thread >>5702110
>>
>>5703574
It'll be an 11 out of 10 if they make sky lynx a duo con
>>
>>5703574
It'll probably be the same toys with different paint.
>>
>>5703580
Your powers of deduction are amazing. Quickly now, who will win the MLB World Series?
>>
>>5703570
I kinda do and don't.
Most of the transformers I own are the complex stupid ones or the cool designs; though my issue with Tomahawk is more that the plastic on its hips' balljoints is really slippery and superglue or nail polisher couldn't fix it and that the thighs are almost pointless at their lenght.
>>
>>5703583
No seriously. Why is everyone acting like this will be a huge change? It's not.
>>
>>5703604
Maybe it will have Bluestreak lol
>>
>>5703613
And perhaps they'll do a hybrid of the mold, using the Prowl front end and the Dead End roof.
>>
>>5703614
Has Takara done this with any of the other Unite Warriors figures or have they all just been redecos?
>>
>>5703618
Vortex got new blades and Blast Off got a new mold.
>>
>>5703621
Doesn't UW Vortex also have fins on his arms instead of missiles?

nah. he got missiles.

there might be a shapeways upgrades with fins though

yes it is.
one of the best. go buy him

10/10 if he gets remolded enough to be 2 separate figures.

7/10 if he has fixed ratchets and tabs

0/10 if he just has different paint.

>>
>>5703651

That mold is going to be reused for Liokaiser (probably), so it's not like them retooling it to be 2 figures by itself would be improbable, because they could get use out of it for 2 sets.

I don't think it'll happen, but then again, Takara's a bit crazy at times. Look at all the shit they did for Computron of all things, one of the least popular combiners, or Grand Galvy, who isn't even a "real" G1 combiner in a line they're trying to push as a giant nostalgiagasm..
>>
>>5703656
>That mold is going to be reused for Liokaiser (probably)
Already confirmed
> so it's not like them retooling it to be 2 figures by itself would be improbabl
They might as well make two new figues rather than do such a massive retool
>Look at all the shit they did for Computron of all things
all they did was make some new parts
>or Grand Galvy
They did even less there, just two new heads.
>>
Someone made a good point that Sky Reign will probably be made up of Hound, Trailbreaker, Wheeljack, and Ratchet. Because are the retools that Japan hasn't seen yet.

Ratchet's head exists and was used for BotCon and this would be a way for Japan to get it.

They'll avoid Smokescreen because he's just a straight repaint.

Well, I don't know. It made sense to me. The legs, to me at least, look like they're the same mold.
>>
>>5703677
The left arm is clearly Wheeljack or at least his mold.
>>
>>5703679

No, yeah. Left arm is Wheeljack. Right arm is Hound. The legs both look like the same mold (Ironhide/Off Road/First Aid) but who knows?
>>
>>5703681
Maybe it's Trailbreaker done with the First Aid remold. Doesn't look like Smokescreen though.
>>
>>5703801
Or a Ratchet maybe?
>>
>>5703823
If his limbs are WJ, Hound, Trailbreaker, and Ratchet, I'd definitely bite on this set.

You know, I started off not liking this figure very much, but I'm beginning to like her a lot more since I've gotten used to the Animated style with figures like Prowl, Lockdown, Blurr, and Oil Slick.
>>
>>5703848
With all the remolding they did, it really doesn't feel like an Animated figure, though. She fits right in with Beast Wars updates like Waspinator, Dinobot, Rattrap, and Rhinox.

Gave Crosscut's little machine gun to Blackjack and its just perfect for his tiny evil hands

Wish there was a dumb way to store it in vehicle mode

Any other weapons you guys have found that just work so much better for another figure? I feel that First Aids axe looks way better in Hot Spots manly hands
>>
>>5703848
>all that gold plastic

I sort of want to buy her, but am afraid she'll literally turn to fucking dust in 5 or so years.
>>
>>5703849
Eh, I'd say the legs still kinda bleed Animated with the weird way they curve and stuff.
>>
>>5703852
I asked about that and people told me that they don't use the same Gold Plastic as they did till the late 90's and I shouldn't worry about it breaking.
>>
>>5703852
Hasn't gps been "cured"? I've never been quite clear on the answer for this.
>>
>>5703853
Yea, I guess I can see that.

But aside from the curved legs, it could pass for a figure of another line. And that's saying a lot since the Animated Aesthetic is pretty strong.
>>
>>5703854
>>5703856

They keep saying it's been cured, and then stuff begins to crack and crumble years after.
>>
>>5703850
I switched the weapons of RID Fracture with CW off road.

It's crazy how well that weapon goes with OR and his samurai look. Fractures hands suck for his weapon.
>>
>>5703856
Well, the last few figures that used gold plastic were from the first live action film, and we didn't get anything until G2 Slingshot and Legens Blackarachnia (anyone correct me if I'm wrong).

So we'll still have to wait and see if they don't crumble. Hell, I already bought a figure to replace my G2 Slingshot if he crumbles to dust.
>>
>>5703801
One of them is probably Trailbreaker using the same remolded Off Road as the US one, while the other seems to use the First Aid remold, and is therefore probably Ratchet.

>>5703834

>>
>>5703580
The First Aid mold is there, so no.
>>
>>5703896
no it's not
>>
>>5703890
Pretty sure that other one is the Smokescreen mold with the hood turn up.
>>
>>5703898
Yes it is. It's one of his legs.
>>
If it's the first aid mold Ratchet is the only one that makes sense
>>
>>5703677
Hound
Sidswipe
Ratchet
Trail breaker
that's my guess
>>
>>5703852
Don't worry about the gold plastic. Instead worry about the rubber that her spider legs and shins are made of.
>>
>>5703909
>only one that makes sense
Grand galvatron surprised everyone with their choices. The logical choice would be ratchet but at this point I wouldn't be shocked if it's rhinox or something.

I don't have Off Road to see it myself but I totally agree that Fracture's weapon is very hard to use with him, it's too long to put on his arm without removing his articulation and the peg is too short on the gun so it barely gets past his arm mold into his hands, just giving the gun a longer handle could have solved the issue

but I really love his gun, it's great for all kinds of characters

Just like everything in a toyshow/convetion. You have to kinda act somewhat fast also he only bought it for like $10 which is not even that expensive. Personally I would have bought the other more complete for $10 just so I could see which has a better condition and then I could just switch around stuff.

Dudes, two weekends ago I went to my state's "largest garage sale" and didn't find shit. Other than a pretty cool PBS t-shirt for $3. My gf found some clothes and stuff though so that was cool.

While she was napping, I hopped over to our local toy shop and picked up pic related for $100. Some dude unloaded his collection I guess (there were club exclusives, old Costco exclusives, Japanese stuff, etc.)

Needless to say, the guy working was a total bro on prices.
>>
>>5704121
Aw man. Jealous of that bludgeon.
>>
>>5704134
he was the first one I saw and made me look at the display cases more closely. Paid $5 for him, which is a huge steal. but I did buy a ton of stuff.
>>
>>5704139
Damn now I'm extra jealous. Commander shockwave is fun and I love samurai stuff so I really want that figure.
>>
>>5704142
Yeah, agreed. Bludgeon was my favorite bad guy toy as a kid so I've always been into him.

I actually got commander Shockwave at the same shop about a year ago... and paid $15 for it. And now he's leaning towards obsolete since the CW Legends class Shockwave came out.
>>
>>5704146
I pretend commander shock is him after fucking around with the predacon stuff and experimenting on himself.
>>
>>5704121
What a nice haul, I see a lot of old favorites there. TM Cheetor, BM Tankor, non-GPS remold of TM Megs, etc. And Corahda!

Remove his square back nub to make him easier to hold for anyone, I'm guessing?
>>
>>5704184
I'm surprised there's not people who complain about how hollow his legs look from the back. I think they're fine and they allow for a pretty sick bend at the knee but with as many people as we have here who bitch about hollowness I can't believe it never comes up.
>>
>>5704153
I like that idea. It makes me feel like my Voyager Prime Shockwave is less obsolete, too.

>>5704169
I was so psyched to find Predacon/Megatron, since my childhood TM Megatron broke about 10 years ago. He's missing the minicons, but he was $10 so I think that's fair.

I've never had Corhada before and he's excellent. Just a super fun toy with a great unique look.

I only ever had Armada TM Cheetor before, and he looks so much better in his original color scheme. Rattrap is great, too... but it's weird that his hand sticks out of his ass in rat mode so he can hold his tail. Or am I doing something wrong?

>>5704184
He is pretty much that good. Though I still like all of my Shockwaves, in the end. Prime Voyager and Commander, G1, CW, FoC and DOTM.

The DOTM one is one of the only movie toys I've held onto. He's just so delightfully weird.

>>5704197
That would be perfect. Does it destabilize anything if you clip it yourself?

I think people are both more forgiving of smaller figures, and more forgiving when hollowness serves a purpose. His legs needed to be hollow to turn into his gun/spaceship.
>>
>>5704197
Nah. I did that already and I barely have anyone holding him anyways. I'd like a waist swivel and side to side ankle tilts. Nothing I need nor makes me think the figure is flawed. Just little aspects I would like.

As the guy in >>5704211it does make it a bit more loose for the HFGs, but I probably cut too short so do a bit at a time.

She might be reading cue cards, or she's cutting out shit to condense the video length.

Haven't kept up with it after Windblade got pushed hard during CW. RiD in general dropped in quality after Dark Cybertron. Lost most interest in MTMTE after the Fecund Moon arc.
I may be of the dissenting opinion, but I liked the autistic era where they were trying to be semi real-robot with the resource scarcity, staying disguised, vehicle only altmodes, and few combiners.

Cybertronians in their homeworld or them doing what we knew best, being aliens on an unknown world to them, we seem to be getting a bit of both but they're established and feared now.

I'd rather them in disguise

It was canon and tumblr knew it and didn't care. There was loads of cutsie pictures of the pair, you guys are sperging over nothing.

>>5704729
>>classics mirage
nice figure, tons of articulation. too skinny for some, get him if you like the aesthetic.
>>classics astrotrain
ok-ish figure, limited articulation with better altmodes than the upcoming voyager but too small.
>>gen scourge
awesome, get him if you don't mind the updated altmode.
>>rts perceptor
nice update, botmode looks great, but the arms don't tab, a design flaw.
>>rts tracks
hes alright, but the chest is way to big, still better proportions than Wheeljack.

That's just because they're literal whos.

>>5704729
>classics mirage
Great mold with awesome articulation. Love the Crasher repaint though.

>classics astrotrain
Too small. TR Astrotrain looks leagues better IMO (at least it bot mode).

>gen scourge
One of the most underrated Deluxes ever made. I think he only got one repaint too (Senator Ratbat). I can't think of another Jetformer with literally NO kibble hanging off the undercarriage.

>rts perceptor
I like both modes, but damn is it a bitch to transform.

I hate this mold. It just looks too broad and squat for my tastes.

I gave Leader CW Thundercracker's missile launcher to Onslaught for a rifle and as the basis for a triple-barreled arm cannon for Bruticus. It fits him surprisingly well all things considered.

I own him.

Aside from the fiddly transformation and the wonky arms, it's a passable figure.

oh, as a toy he's nice! very intuitive transformation, unique vehicle mode, good stuff.

The main issue is that he's a mess, proportionally. Even though he's properly articulated (Ankle rockers!) he NEVER looks cool as his proportions are very bad.

i'd say get the Powerdive version, it has much nicer colors, a new gas mask head, AND its a decepticon

he goes very nicely with Lugnut, since they're both green planes with shark drawings on them

"I don't like either of them" is an opinion. It focuses on what that person thinks about it and little else.

>FUNCTION: EMPEROR
>"JUDGEMENT DAY IS NOW"
>APOCALYPSE was once know as Unicron until Shokarat fused with his life force creating Apocalypse. In both modes he wields a nuclear cannon.
>Strength 10

I assume the "Emperor" bit is a reference to Deszaras, who I learned about via bigbot.com (RIP). Now for his right-hand 'con:

>QUICKSTRYKE
>[Onslaught with a blue helmet, silver face, black body]
>FUNCTION: GENERAL
>"PREPARE FOR APOCALYPSE"
>QUICKSTRYKE is a powerful and wise warrior He believes that APOCALYPSE is the rightful ruler of Cybertron. In tank mode he can travel up to 500 mph. In robot mode he wields a blackhole gun which shoots magnetic shell which destroys enemys
>Strength 9
