Before we consider new retools, let's speculate on the (presumably) last set in the definitive retool line. Very negatively.

As someone who's probably been collecting this stuff way longer than you, I would guess that if we only got the basics in this line witht he bare minimum reuse(Superion, Menasor, and either Devastator OR Bruticus) people would still be disappointed over them not doing enough. So it was either get this stretched out line with redecos/remolds, or just plain get a small line like most years of Classics releases.

Eh's very crap, looks to come with a arms micron as was said and two white guns in his pink arm hand that I can't identify.

Hasbro always puts out the a better painted remold in later waves while leaving the original to be total shit, exception being combiner wars where they make 10+ remolds and quality is totally out the window.

They're okay, just expect to open them up and add some glue or Pledge to the joints to tighten then, and maybe repaint the face. Transforming doesn't work because the right leg never clips against the side properly. Ravage is crap but Laserbeak is very good.
>>
>>5714205
doesn't sound too bad then for so cheap, thanks for the info

also on another Soundwave note, anyone have the cybertron/galaxy force mold? Looks really cool, and might be a decent classics stand in, but I'm also worried cuz it looks flop tastic.

Soundwave's my favourite Transformers so I'm just looking in to getting all of him that are fun
>>
>>5714233

Could just wait for the TR Soundwave.
>>
>>5714245
I've been thinking about getting that one, but he doesn't really have a place for me. leader class is too big for the classics guys, and there's already an amazing MP scale Soundwave.

I also love collecting odd Soundwaves like Q, Kreon, World's Smallest, Music Label etc but the whole base mode thing doesn't appeal to me much for a toy of him
>>
>>5714252

Just ignore scale, man. So many TF's are out of scale with everything else it literally doesn't matter. If the figure is good and you like it and can afford it, might as well buy it.

Ok, once more from the top:

Shit chest=Bad.
BO's colors=Bad.
Grey thighs=Bad, ruins Onslaught's look and still looks like shit in combiner mode since again, only one part of it is that color.
Vortex blades=Good
Swindle and Brawl=No change basically.

Sorry Takara, you chose poorly this time around, cartoon Bruticus looks like ass and you fucked up the color schemes on 2 of the 5 bots to try and copy it no less.
>>
>>5714389
where?
>>
>>5714394
They also missed the opportunity to make part of Blast-Off come off and become the brown chest, giving the option of a silver chestplate. There's absolutely no excuse for being that lazy, and it would've taken some mass off the oversized arm mode to boot.
>>
>>5714396
Ebay, it's called Red Comet but I found it by looking for Powerglide.

>>
>>5714397

Eh, the BO mold itself is alright, could use a bit of titty reduction surgery, but the main problem is the color. It doesn't match anything, and it's on BO and the larger Bruticus chest since the cartoon did the whole "shuttle bits become chest" thing.

Takara just dropped the ball on this one.

Hasbro for Defensor & Bruticus, Takara for Menasor, Superion, Computron, and probably Liokaiser is the only way to go.

>Shit chest=Bad.
Personal opinion, between the shit plastic grey from hasbro vs something with alot of color variance?

Personally I'd rather than chest painted all in silver
BO's colors=Bad.
Again, we still accept cosplay slingshot?

I honestly think he looks ok, the chest is a little bulbous and would rather him do what UW strafe does and use the back, though its to remind people it folds into the chest.

My gripe with BO is how the chest was done, but I think the colors are alright, but then again that is opinion

>Grey thighs=Bad, ruins Onslaught's look and still looks like shit in combiner mode since again, only one part of it is that color.
I partly agree, partly because hasbro decided to just mirror defensor and give him blue and silver stripes in the engraved detailings which still annoys me

>Vortex blades=Good
Agreed

>Swindle and Brawl=No change basically.
More or less yes.

That said I'm very thankful for people's negative reaction towards it, gives me more time to sell my hasbro one and good chance the UW release WILL end up on clearance due to a lack of love

Jet Blast Off is fine, jesus christ. Are you salty about the bio making fun of you or something?

>>5714405
The fin on the shuttle is going to push away weapons.
The arms coiled on the sides of Blast Off looks stupid.
Transfags really are retarded.

>>5714403
I don't know why you have such a problem with the color not matching anything when the mold looks that bad.
Even Nigslinger is a better option for a Bruticus limb with that thing as part of the set.
>>
>>5714406
>Again, we still accept cosplay slingshot?

I'd prefer Tak BO in Hasbro BO's colors. They're closer to what Bruticus had (at least toywise), VS Takara's colors which aren't anywhere near the cartoon colors with that funky ass brown.
>>
>>5714408
- They look fine to me, Shockwave even has space under his rear end for the fin IF it reaches that far back.
- Again, gibberish. Nothing is "coiled". What are you talking about? Use a different description and maybe it'll make sense.

I'd of accepted this better or even another jet body mold like airraid or skydive with another head.

They clearly cheaped out and used slingshot just because the eyes are a "good" approximation
>>
>>5714406
>Again, we still accept cosplay slingshot?
The jet mode actually grew on me after I put SteamShield's head on it. A shuttle would've been preferable but Takara's mold isn't doing anything for me.

>>5714414
Agreed, but I would've replaced it either way. Fireflight's head has a faceplate, but it's as different from Blast-Off's sculpt as Optimus and Soundwave's.

They see better customs from the likes of pumpkingonzo and so forth and think they can get away with high prices too.

Some make sense and try to make back the money they burnt, others are idiots trying too hard, then we get scammers finding suckers.

If people can sell unpainted gunpla claiming it is painted just because it has slight use of gundam marker on them for well over the rrp of the kit then transformer customs seem like a gold mine

Hey I remember seeing this on Unicron.com as a kid. Probably someone clearing out his older stuff.

You newer fans proabbly don't remember, but there was a time when people had no idea if we'd ever see complete G1 updates. People would take anything that looks vaguely like, or shared an aspect with a G1 character, and repainted it into that. Oh hey, Megatron turns into a T.Rex, lets make him Grimlock. This Jetformer has wings kind of like Cyclonpus, lets make him Cyclonous! The RiD Car Brothers became basically every single G1 autobot car at some point.
A guy named TF master was basically the king of this era, and everyone drooled over his stuff.This was probably the first stapled together combiner custom I ever saw, and at the time it was mindblowing. Its all goofy now, but I wish he hadn't died before the '07 movie came out. Of course now a days, with more Classics stuff and a stronger 3P output, these customs are basically pointless.

Before we became bombarded with Combiner War figures, custom combiners were the only way to get 'updated' versions of the combiners we wanted.

I remember getting Classics Mirage from a store many moons ago and thinking to myself "man, this is awesome. I wonder if they'll make Drag Strip from this. Oh shit I hope we get the rest of the Stunticons too!"

Which then led to full gestalt speculations and hope back then.

Then when it didn't happen, custom combiners started to REEEAAAALLY seem appealing, especially when pic related was what we got.
