Do you have the balls to be a time traveler? Looking for any future purchases of past figures?

Past thread >>5705461
>>
>>5707319

Would buy a Generations version of in a heartbeat.

Doubly so if he came with gigantic balls that detached and formed some kind of shield and gun.
>>
>>5707329

I imagine it's alright, but personally I don't see much use in buying heads without accompanying bodies that don't fit the heads. If they were releasing, say, anime-heads, G1 cartoon heads, toy heads, and stylized comic version heads that matched the bodies being put out, that'd be cool.
>>
>>5707342
Grimlock is popular as fuck and they have play patterns of forming weapons/armor for big guys as well.
>>
>>5707354

Yeah, but it's just his head. And there are Grimlock figures out there, albeit older ones now unless you want the new cartoon aesthetics.

I see your point though. My original intent was just shock that the heads sold out faster than brand spanking new Legends figures that look to be pretty damn good (one of which is a popular guy in the comics).
>>
I wonder if they'll get a figure.

The Waspinator as Shrapnel thing is probably just a reference from the cartoon. Evil Rhinox scrambled Waspinator's brains and made him think he was Shrapnel(Decepticon Hero-o-o). Its a joke scene that is actually pretty important, because it gives us a timeline for the era the characters in BW are from(300 years after the war in G1 ends..though that is another timeline question of just when did the war end).

I now have them using their classic limbs (AB replacing Blades on Defensor), G2 Superion, Sky Reign(OM limbs), Galvatronus (Dead End, Blades, Rook and Airraid) and have Takara Bruticus on preorder.

The reason I got so many was due to a combination of good deals, and a few gifts.

What was the reaction when combiner Optimus/Cyclonus was announced?
>>
>>5708292
Optimus was one of the first CW things we saw outside of the Superion silhouette. We didn't actually know he combined at the time. Most people were more focused on his "gorilla" proportions. Ultimately, some people were down on him because they feel they might have gotten a Cab+Trailer Motormaster if it didn't have to double as Optimus.

As for Cyclonus, I forget the inital reaction. I think most of it was just surprise, and comic fans hoping MTMTE Cyclonus wouldn't get dragged into Combiner Wars.

Which seems like a rather stupid thing to get mad about, since the concept of Megatron being bigger than Prime has been around since the first time they made him into a tank instead of a gun.
>>
>>5708420
I don't get Takara's obsession with lavender. In the cartoon, Shockwave definitely isn't that light. Well, maybe in a few moments, but like you said, he's more "grape", or at least a darker lavender.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLdd9mbfw8

And it's not even just Shockwave. Why make Galvatron so light colored too?

>>5708434
It's just that mentality that they need to be absolute equals. Honestly, I don't really care, because I knew at the time there would be another Optimus down the road in the same class. Obviously, there is.

And obviously it's not like same class Primes and Megatrons are a rarity anyway, so what if they don't match each other for a line?
>>
>>5708434
>>5708476
I was used to them being roughly the same size (beast wars kid) until Animated. It felt right to have Megatron and Optimus be such different sizes. Hell the Cons were huge and it was awesome.

Don't worry 'bout trolls. It does look good.
>>

>It's just that mentality that they need to be absolute equals.

Did those same people flip their shit any time Prime got any sort of upgrade or power-up, like he has numerous times over the past thirty years?
>>
>>5708492
I think it's generally accepted that the power-up forms were typically what put Optimus on Megatron's power level. At least, that's how the Unicron Trilogy handled it after Powerpants Convoy.
>>
>>5708492
Well I think it's a case of when Optimus is bigger, no one cares, but when Megatron is bigger, people lose their minds.
>>
>>5708494
>but when Megatron is bigger

Isn't Megatron supposed to be bigger, just a bit?
>>
>>5708494
Which is rather silly, since if anyone should be bigger and more imposing than the other, it should be the bad guy. There's no threat to a villain when the hero is so much bigger he could just step on him.

You amuse me, you hate foreign workers handling your toys yet the cost to employ someone in your home land would drive the company "out of business", further more you'll complain more about a price hike more of your kids toys yet you would also want local workers getting more money.

Quit the hobby or just wash your toys, this is the future you chose and why mc donalds is becoming automated, hell maybe workers making happy meals toys will be the next to get laid off but before they do they'll cough on every shitty toy they produce as revenge for the lay offs
>>
>>5708729
Fuck off. If it was up to me, I'd have transformers made by Americans here in the US. I never complained about price hikes. I'd gladly pay Voyager prices for deluxes just because I know I'm supporting a fellow American.

Let me guess, you willingly watch Bayformers and love how much product promotion there is while falling asleep when other countries are involved?

Trust me you wouldn't pay $100+ for a voyager, nor product shortages because the workers went on another pay related strike and only work 3 days a week.

Also what retard would want american robots, sure mech warrior and shit like that is fun, but giant sentient robots are best left in the hands of asians that do intricate stuff well.

Otherwise we'd get nothing but blocky designs that barely transform or articulate, I got a feeling those titan sized figures are of american design.

Face it Trump, you can't have optimus prime turn into a gun deco'd in the american flag with truck bits hanging off it

If I didn't have a job I wouldn't be here telling you you're wrong, I just had a pay upgrade last week and the price of what we sell went up, from pensioners to rich fags, no wanted to pay the extra.

g1 made sense back in the day due to engineering tech at the time.

Why go backwards, we either go forward with designs (mp's overall aesthetic), playability (leader megatron) or a good mix of both (I actually like what they did with UW/CW just a shame it came at the cost of redeco and retool hell).

In my eyes, an adult toy is pretty much anything of the Generations line, MP, 3P stuff is definitely adult toys since no kid is going to be able to afford that shit.

Figma's, nendo's, revo's, NECA's, PAK's, etc. All adult toys.

Seems like it.
Like, what are the hardest MPs to transform? The Seekers? Because they are just messy due to the necessary lack of clearance but the transformation scheme is pretty simple. You'd have to be mechanically stunted to not find them easy.

Megatron doesn't count because that's just fucking bullshit.
