>>5774696
I am Heavy Weapons Rook and this is my new weapon.
HALT OR ILL STAB YOUR EYES
Sick of all these shitty pics.
>>5774709
I'm sick of your shitty attitude anon.
>>5774709
Let's see your master grade photography skills then.
Lol, triggered kids.
>>5774549
>You know I wouldn't mind seeing Transformers anime from Trigger. Seeing all the references in >>5774489, it seems like they're genuine fans of the franchise.
they are. look up More Than Just a Geek Spark, its a fanbook and its got a bunch of Trigger people drawing TF fanart
Trigger has collaborated with Western companies like Pixard before, so hopefully they can do something Hasbro~
>>5774733
G2 anime when?
>>5774733
green eyes Omega SUpreme triggers me
YES, just got my UW Bruticus.
He looks fucking great.
>>5774744
Careful not to break his kneepads anon!
>>5774747
Wasn't that with the Hasbro one? besides, I've never had that issue with the previous versions.
>>5774744
Enjoy your blacked Vortex and orange flavored Blast Off, I guess.
>>5774730
Give shit, get shit. Only fair.
>>5774756
way to shit on his parade..
>>5774761
Don't let him bug you, he's not bugging me.
>>5774744
he's very intimidating.
wish there was a way to lock onslaught's legs when he's combined though... floppy
What team should I get next /toy/?
>>5774733
>>5774737
this has to be the nerdiest of the drawings, it goes through literally all releases of Classics Prime!
>>5774780
victorion
>>5774777
anyone else have this issue? it always happens..
>>5774787
It's a pretty well known issue on the mold. Here's a fix
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1039583-combiner-wars-hotspot-7.html#post12578163
So I have a CW bruticus, he's fine, problem is I'm tempted by the UW release, and I have a g2 bruticus on the way.
This isn't like a seeker where I can pretend he's someone else, and so far my CW is the weakest one.
The only way I can salvage him is to repaint the chest and crotch plates, I see pins and I seen guides, any screws anywhere I haven't seen, because I REALLY don't want to pull onslaught completely apart just for this, if I do I might as well sell him...
>>5774787
That happens to my defensor but more often to my victorion
>>5774783
>Classics AND Henkei (and United?)
Bravo.
>>5774780
Go Aerialbot if you want another combiner to fight. Defensor will feel too similar, because he is.
Or maybe go for Sky Reign to mix things up.
>>5774791
>those knees
I seen people do this and like the exploded look especially on skylynx, but tell me, are they stable enough to hold the weight?
>>5774790
You can always imagine that they're from different timelines.
>>5774793
I could do this actually, another issue is how disproportionate my collection will become seeing how its all UW apart from my upcoming g2 collection.
Only hasbro guys apart from bruticus is defensor (thanks to groove I have no reason to swap) skyreign (I'm fine with smokescreen over ratchet) and optimus maximus (can't get that white star convoy head anywhere else)
>>5774780
I like the Protectobots but with Hotspot, Blades, and Rook, you've got molds that are all pretty similar then.
If you want autobots to face off against bruticus, I'd say Superion- but the aerialbot molds are all kinda samefag. Maybe wait for UW Computron?
If you want another decepticon team I'd go with either Menasor (beware, combined mode sucks but individual bots rule) or UW Devastator if you don't mind the lack of Scramble City.
>>5774787
It's a common issue. One thigh doesn't like to lock in, and it's always the same one on different iterations or simply
copies of the mold.
>>5774789
Not the OR, but this did the trick for my Hot Spot/Defensor!
What would be a fair price to expect at TFcon for titan-class Metroplex?
>>5774758
>$140
Are they fucking nuts?
>>5774761
Oh shut the fuck up. Not like takarcucks aren't worse at shit like that.
mp loudpedal inbound to me!
I already own tracks and roadrage, anything that's a worry with him?
>>5774747
The knee pad was the fault of the other anons. They are too autistic to realize that it tabs over and they pull them OUT instead of UP carefully.
>>5774753
Same I own 2 AB molds and I never had problems with them cause I actually took time transforming them and not being a little retard with ham hands.
>>5774842
It's a QC thing, just like Brawl's waist. You must have gotten lucky
>>5774837
Yeah, I don't think the knees are particularly fragile. The HFG port on the other hand, that's a different story.
>>5774845
The knees are not fragile at all, they're fucking made of thick plastic that's why every time I see somebody bitching about it here I just call them autistic cavemen cause you really need some stupid brute strength to break those.
>>5774791
I'm working on a smartpants combiner using Skylynx, already have Perceptor, Ratchet and Wheeljack, who should be tha 4th limb?
>>5774829
Not really. I skipped Road Rage, but I have to say Loud Pedal seems like a definite step up from Tracks. Joints are sturdier, chest pegs into the shoulders better, backpack clips in tighter, and I even find it takes less finagling into car mode to get him proper rolling clearance. He's absolutely great.
>>5774850
First aid?
>>5774854
Damn, thanks for that.
Only thing that could deny me of him is the fact he's coming by courier, I need to wake up early and hope I answer the door or else I have to pay re-delivery fees
>>5774850
You made a Perceptor custom? Also the last limb has to be Brawl.
>>5774850
Cloudraker
>>5774821
>buying from BBTS/TF Source
Are you fucking nuts?
>>5774859
>not B.O.T.
I don't get it, they upscaled and improved mp10, now they shrunk him down to voyager size.
Is this for chug collectors?
>>5774866
Can I get a robot mode comparison i'm interested.
Looks like hasbro asia released more of those stickers for titan returns, I believe we discussed this before...
But this time I have before and after results, despite the extra detail...
>they should of been tampo'd instead
>they're still stickers
>they do hardly anything
>>5774872
Blurr, right pic is stickered
>>5774875
skullcruncher, bottom has stickers, they seem more noticeable on the tail
>>5774879
Scourge.
The crotch stickers help but still don't help him enough
>>5774880
Hard head.
Left most are unstickered, I...didn't think seat detail was needed but whatever, the crotch ones here don't do shit
>>5774869
All I got is this, he comes with alternate heads as well but what I have on hands doesn't show the detail too well.
>>5774860
>check Cloudraker's bio
>he is a fucking robot
>>5774866
They've also downscaled MP-08 Grimlock and gave him 5mm peg hands.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-Masterpiece-V-Class-MP-08-G1-Grimlock-/142042287371?hash=item2112614d0b:g:VVAAAOSwhOVXdmwC
>>5774880
Wonder how hard would it be to mod the shins so the heels turn into the feet, I guess the kneepads would have to be cliped out so the knees could bend.
>>5774889
That's actually an up-scaled Warbotron Grimlock.
>>5774780
I'd say wither get Superion, or wait for UW Computron.
Also, get the PE Perfect Combiner kits. They make Bruticus look WAY better, and make for pretty good weapons in bot mode as well.
>>5774889
I don't know how to react to this, I applaud the fact they done it and that price is good, but he's kinda suffered for it aesthetically looking at his dino mode.
>>5774896
Do they lack creativity to mess with another 3p design or is it a big finger to the original creators?
I never understood this
>>5774901
No idea but I bought one, best option we have for a Voyager G1 Grimmy right now imho.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAIbv090O80&feature=youtu.be&a
>>5774881
I like those cockpit stickers, they really make the place more livable for TMs.
>>5774912
Not at all what I imagined it to sound like. VICTORION BLLLAAAADDDEEE
>>5774843
>It's a QC thing, just like Brawl's waist. You must have gotten lucky
i agree. while onslaught's legs are bad, my Brawl's waist is tight enough to be used as an ab joint.
on that note, how come people only talk about Brawl's waist, and not his ENDLESSly poseable feet? they can do anything!
>>5774869
Here's one.
>>5774921
Thank you
>>5774872
Where do you get this?
>>5774921
Can't wait to get mine.
>>5774912

>>5774912
i thought the dialogue was hackyed at first, but by the end i loved it.
The visuals are trippy, too. reminds me of deathcore album covers
... i think i like Victorion now
>>5774930
honestly i see that as a plus? as much as i like the movie, we quote it too much..
You know, I've always thought Sky Lynx would work really well if he turned into a B-52 or a Tupolev "Bear". Cockpit becomes head, tail becomes, uh, tail, legs fold out from underside of body, wings become, well, wings...
I dunno. I like him as a space shuttle but the whole launch crawler thing is kinda whack, and there aren't enough Transformers that turn into big military aircraft.
>>5774912
Oh wow I want an 80s super robot show for Victorion now.
>>5774924
They're given out via toy store promotions in various places in Asia. I believe we in the Philippines got some of the CW stickers, but I didn't bother getting any.
>>5774912
Huh. Pretty good way to sell Vicky and excuse the color scheme.
Still don't want her, though.
>>5774937
Always thought he would look like this if he received a CHUG figure.
>>5774937
I'm surprised that CW Sky Lynx got past Obama, the man who killed space-shuttles, like Blast Off.
Yes you didn't have space shuttle Blast-off because Obama killed him.
>>5774934
>reminds me of deathcore album covers
That's not a good thing anon
>>5774912
>>5774938
Uh? made me remember this.
>>5774944
>Yes you didn't have space shuttle Blast-off because Obama killed him.
Thanks obama
I'm glad this hole of dick is getting out of office
>>5774945
No idea why he said Deathcore desu.
I think Djent was what he was trying to say.
Such a fucking stupid genre tag, it was called post-metal like 4 years ago.
>>5774944
Luckily a space shuttle intended for japan landed in my hands, the foot connectors warped a bit, but it's not a big deal.

COINCIDENCE?
>>5774696
anyone seen the UW Combaticon comic?
The Combaticons are having a yard sale, but B.O.T. II came over to shit all over it
Im happy cause it has El Presidente. he's the best, even though he came from such a shit episode
>>5774912
>mfw Vicky is going to get duped into creating Galvatronus
>mfw Galvatronus steals a limb from every team (Aerialbots, Protectabots, Combaticons, Stunticons)
>mfw Vicky gives each team one of her limbs to restore them
>mfw the power of friendship defeats Galvatronus
>mfw the final scene homages that one Studio OX drawing
aww yis
>>5774954
Deathcore and Djent both have similar album covers sometimes, especially in the Djentcore field, so it's pretty easy to confuse. Also both are complete shit so there's that too.
Huh? Post-metal is stuff like Isis and Neurosis. Nowhere near Veil of Maya or Meshuggah
>>5774917
I imagined her sounding similar to Garnet from Steven Universe but deeper.
>>5774961
Do those rockets have Swindle faction symbols?
>>5774963
Oh shit!
>>5774964
I know but last time I bothered to check genres those often fell under technical death metal or post-metal.
>Also both are complete shit so there's that too.
I agree about the ones that came once the tag became popular like happens when literally any kind of metal becomes popular but that's, like, your opinion.
>>5774961
i like how Vortex and Blast Off in the comic have more accurate colors than the toys they represent~
>>5774972
Djent is a subgenre of prog metal I believe, and Deathcore is considered to be a subgenre of metalcore, which is considered to be a fusion of Hardcore punk and Thrash. So I don't really know where you picked that out from.
And yeah that was just /mu/ shitposting. Ignore it, I do it often
>>5774963
Man, I always forget how terrible a transformer Break is.
>>5774960
Actually, considering how much military money goes into the TF movies, that's probably on the money.
Honestly I've always wanted to see Starscream and the Seekers as Russian jets like Mig-29s (or even Mig-21s if they wanted to go full retro and could engineer the jet mode properly).
>tfw if they bring him back he'll be an F35
>>5774963
glad you finally got it, anon!
>>5774986
i think Skywarp and Thundercracker were Russian jets in Machine Wars. Rafales are russian, right?
>>5774986
>implying the F35 can take off
Meh. It'll be a CGI plane and it will kill thousands of pilots once it's approved for the air force.
Thanks a lot, Lockheed.
>>5774978
Gojira, who are pretty much the inspiration, definition, and pioneers of Djent were called prog metal and post-metal for years before djent became a thing.
I don't mind the groups under it being grouped but it's just such a dumb, reductionist meme name.
>>5775002
French.
Speaking of music, is MP3 Soundwave a good figure?
>>5775012
perfectly alright deluxe Soundwave toy. It won't blow your mind or anything cause its a bit old now
his hips are not fun to pose, the ratchet positions are a bit far apart, and there's some alt mode kibble on them that bangs into his hips
I'm going out to hit my local discount stores. With any luck I'll find an Alpha Bravo and Offroad.
>>5775026
People still find them in stores?
>>5775002
What >>5775005 said. Pretty much a French version of the Eurofighter Typhoon.
You know what would make for an awesome toyline? A little mini-series of Transformers who turn into WW2 vehicles. Optimus Prime could be a Green Goddess military fire engine, Bumblebee could turn into a little 40s car, Warpath could be a Sherman, Tracks could turn into General Monty's Grant command tank (a far cry from a Corvette, yes, but they both had outrageously huge egos) the Seekers could be Panzerknacker Stukas (with the sod-off huge anti tank guns forming their arm weapons), Shockwave could turn into the Dora railway gun, Megatron could be a King Tiger, Soundwave could be the Enigma machine, etc. Shame that Hasbro would never touch anything remotely Nazi related with a ten foot pole.
>>5774960
I want to like HFTD Starscream but that weird vagina mouth kills it for me.
Wonder if it's possible to repaint put the movie1 head on it?
>>5775043
gi joe's gotten weirder with the crossovers
>>5775030
It's extremely unlikely that I'll find anything that good but one never knows.
>>5775035
>Every spook is a crook!
>Oh, Rook!
>*transformers theme instrumental version*
I hope they release finalised pictures of him soon, I'm torn between this for the cleaner design, but I like the way the hasbro one looked with the painted on visor.
>>5775062
Are the product images for Takara figures ever inaccurate?
>>5775065
It's more the mushie look the paint of the head has that worries me, either way, it's better looking than this unmodified one.

Finally. He's not perfect, but I think he's really neat, and he's my placeholder MP until they ever possible make a real one.
>>5775049
That isn't even CLOSE to how weird that comic got. Neither is this.
>>5775068
Yeah, I do like the Takara Skullcruncher head more than Hasbro's. Though I'm fine with settling for Skullsmasher if I find him first.

Where would you recommend I pick up Korean two-packs for Beast Wars Neo figures?
>>5775078
I'd be piiiiissssssssseeeeddddd.
>>5774744
Yeah i love it. He is even better with the upgrade.
>>5775085
Ebay. There's a good few sellers of KR Braves and Transformers stuff.
Word of warning though, even the KR releases can get expensive as fuck.
These two only cost me 18 quid mind you.
>>5775113
I see. Maybe I'll dig up my set sometime and have them join the rest of the Neo crew one day.
Tip: don't lose the instructions, especially for Dead End, since the angles of the limbs have to be precisely arranged for you to refit the shells/kibble seamlessly
>>5775072
Can't wait for the HC collection.
>>5774573
Looks like yer pence'n' pound is all knacked there, guvnah. Must be that there bloody bastard of a Brexit innit?
>>5775122
yeah, I popped open his shell and got really scared.
In hindsight, transforming Break seemed a really stupid thing to do.
>>5775131
Brexit works as a name for one of those Fixit clones.
>>5775137
Why? A brick penguin isn't much fun.
>>5775146
a kibble-covered robot that can't pose or even stand up isn't much fun either.
I got him back in penguin mode, but it was a frustrating job.
>>5775151
>not losing the missile
>not chipping the paint off of the beak because you used to imitate it doing pecking motions
Soon, not yet, soon.
This magnus's deco is based on what? The takara version looks close to the old g1 toy and idw comic.
>>5775162
Considering the Minimus Ambus, probably IDW.
>>5775162
Cartoon Magnus probably.
>>5775176

I already have it but I opened mine obviously.
Cheetor for Ian Corlett, I bought one from a friend but thanks to that strike, I won't get it in time, I just have to hope i'll find a reasonably priced Cheetor at TFCon.

Canada Post.
of course this happens just the last few weeks before TFCon.
>>5775195
He has had at least 5 bodies/upgrades.
>>5775225
I 'borrowed' it.
Crunchy yet remarkably digestible.
Furos 10/10
>>5774777
Oh man, I didn't realize he could look down. That makes me consider picking him up more.
Every time a new line hits people complain about the "plastic quality". Every time there is an uproar about the "plastic quality" it never amounts to anything. We never see masses of broken toys outside of a few odd occurrences like CW G2 Silverbot's fist hinges.There has yet to be a modern TF toy line were the "plastic quality" amounts to anything more than weird fanboys being weird fanboys.
When is this nonsense going to end?
>>5774829
Oh man, individually articulated fingers!? His vehicle mode looks like pure sex. Can't wait to team him up with G2 Sideswipe.
>>5775260
Sure thing Mr. Goldner
>>5775260
Fuck off Cheetimus.
>>5775260
I had 4 silverbolt molds, never broke a fist hinge, the worst plastic we've had was that gummy thin shit on the FoC line.
So...has Hasbro just sort of decided that ankle joints are not a thing anymore? I've been away from TFs from a while, but it seems like almost everything I see recently has molded-in feet.
Got this guy off eBay.
I'm now even more excited for the line to hit stores around here. I just want to throw that head on a body, man.
>>5774912
So Transformers is now ripping off Voltron?
>>5775288
Parts-budget have been dropping in the past few years. Seeing lesser wrist-joints, waist-joints and ankle tilts these days.
>>5775288
CW Victorion,Rook, Swindle and Hound have them, same for TR Blaster, Soundwave and Generations Roadbuster, pretty sure there are others.
>>5775295
Also less panels to cover hollow parts.
>>5774791
Hot damn, the G2 aerial bots look good on Sky Reign.
>>5775290
Hey man does yours have any stress marks on the little leggies? Mine has one around the inside, near the beginning of the 'boot' and I wonder if it was a production error or if I did it myself somehow
>>5775249
How insensitive Anon, combiners have feelings too.
Bruticus can't always be the Dudeicus, sometimes he feels sad like me and Youdicus.
>>5775288
>>5775297
>>5775295
>Seeing lesser wrist-joints, waist-joints and ankle tilts these days
pretty sure all CW guys have waist swivels (only Contructicons who have it are Long Haul and Devastator though).
Brawl, Rook, Blast Off, the Contructicons (including Devastator) all have ankle tilts
Brawl's feet can actually do more than just tilt, you can see it in >>5774920
>>5775288
Ankle joints were never really a "thing" with Transformers to begin with. As someone pointed out there are a few figures that have them, but the only real rule is some figures will have them, some won't.
>>5775288
I was hoping the boxier TR designs would make it easier to add more points of articulation but evidently not. Some of these deluxes don't even have waist swivels.
>>5775316
>>Bruticus can't always be the Dudeicus, sometimes he feels sad like me and Youdicus.
>>5775330
Don't all of them except for Hardhead, who doesn't have one due to transformation? And some of them even have wrist swivels, Anon.
You can't have everything, man. All you can do is hope the figure is largely non-shit. This applies as much to official figures as it does 3P's.
[origami intensifies]
>>5775350
Scourge doesn't have a proper waist swivel, so that's 2 out 4 from wave one deluxes.
>>5775363
Really? Was skipping him until the Tak versions come out, thought the con photo's showed him turning at the waist?
>BBTS puts up a preorder for Inferno
>$140
>before shipping
I don't know which will be more sad, the fags who will pay it because they don't know where else to shop at, or the ones who will sit on their hands and go "The Hasbro release will be cheaper, right?"
Is TR Fort Max actually worth getting? I've been working on collecting the crew from MTMtE and he's one of the last people I need. Should I get the Perfect Effect version or Titans Return?

Some people just don't want to deal with oversea's shipping Anon. And you pretty much have to pay for EMS otherwise you're fucked if anything goes wrong and you want you package in under a month or 3.
>>5775399
We broke up over the shelf actually. I told her that the toys meant more to me than her and she should just accept it. She was gone the next day
>>5775400
The G2/Computron/Liokaiser/etc sets say CW is going on at least a bit longer than you think.
>>5775393
Good thing you've got all that pussy repellent right above your bed anon, you'd be fucked if anyone grabbed that during sex by accident.
>>5775393
PE, theres too much Metroplex in TR Fort, if you want the mold get Metroplex, he comes with more guns and a companinon bot.
>>5775406
Pretty shitty thing to say. Objects shouldn't be worth more than people. You should've just told her she's a shitty person and you're breaking up, telling her it's because toys were more important makes you look like a tard.
>>5775421
>Objects shouldn't be worth more than people.

Normally releases are priced by just changing the $ sign for a £ sign, IE a $16 deluxe ends up being £16, so kinda crappy to see the priced hiked like this...
And anyone claiming exchange rates... $100 = £76 right now, so if that was affecting the price, it would be lower.
>>5775429
again, exchange rate puts $100 at £76, if anything the price should be dropped if the exchange rate was affecting things.
>>5775439
Ahh, you see, just because the value of your money changes, never means prices will change to match.
Value of your money goes down? Prices remain the same as ever.
Value goes up? Prices go up to compensate for your buying power going up.
tl;dr You're fucked no matter what.
>>5775409
>The G2/Computron/Liokaiser/etc sets say CW is going on at least a bit longer than you think
The main line is over. They will be advertising toys that are no longer available in stores.

My local stores JUST got the Combaticon limbs. There's still remnants of the the Protectobot and Optimus Maximus limbs here and there. Hot Spots, Cyclonuses and still available alongside wave 5 Motormasters and the Onslught/Sky Lynx wave of voyagers. Victorion and the three G2 sets are still on shelves, with Victorion and Bruticus being relatively new additions. Computron and Liokaiser have yet to come out.
The Machinima series is definitely late for a good portion of the toyline, but the toyline is far from being absent on store shelves.
Btw, Computron has been confirmed for the series.
>>5775314
I don't see any, I'm thinking that might be a production error.

Nah. Those who think that way are usually too chicken shit to get rid of vagina no matter how poisonous the relationship is.
>>5775518
Yeah and the only married toy collectors like Jin, Walky and Optibotimus had to settle for fat landwhales. Better to be single than to fuck a 600-pound tub.
>>5775524
>poisonous
>just making you choose between toys or her instead of having a compromise
Uhhh Ok now that's what I call childish.
>>5775518
Yeah, if it was "your entire hobby or me" I'd agree. However, look at that shelf. That's fucking ridiculous. Not to mention it's above the fucking bed. Not in an office or something.
If your collection is so fucking huge it's taking up the master bedroom like that, don't be surprised if your partner thinks you're becoming a hoarder.
>>5775370
Is that wakfu
>>5775518
Thats still a problem with the person. If they're gonna act like a child over a toy, you dump them not because of the toys, but because they're such childish shits they're throwing a fit over a toy.
Though yeah, above the bed is a terrible fucking place to put shit.
>>5775529
I don't see anything wrong with the shelf, provided anon let me play with at least half of them. Shit, I'd probably break up with them arguing over what poses and scenes to put them in if anything.

If someone doesn't like your hobby, you shouldn't have to change for them - however you shouldn't say that that the toys are more worthwhile than them. That's an awful thing to say.

Hound could be... exactly the same.
>>5775031
>Shame that Hasbro would never touch anything remotely Nazi related with a ten foot pole.
Except for the IDW comics which feature what are essentially Gestapo Decepticons that literally throw Autobot's into robot Auschwitz.
>>5775550
>Hound actually got out of the Ark before everybody else and scanned a Jeep
>Participated in World War II fighting for the Americans
>Witnessed the horrors of the Nazis first hand
>Behind his chipper facade he's still suffering shell-shock from seeing how creatures so small could be crueller than even most Decepticons
Hound was always my favourite Autobot and I think I found another reason to love him.
>>5775563
That is true. Though more what I meant was in terms of actual Nazis rather than "Nazi proxies". IIRC someone tried to make figures of the Nazis from a Cawadoody game and some Jewish special interest group shit the bed over it.
>>5775563
It's okay, since it's IDW. They are above reproach and criticism.
Wat
>>5775574
Eh, if Marvel can get away with the Avenger's fighting Nazi remnants today, why can't Hasbro have GI Joe/Transformers/etc fight some Nazi remnants too? Shit, do a GI Joe/TF movie that says COBRA is basically Hasbro Hydra, and captured a fallen TF ship that crashlanded during the 40's/50's and have been trying to reverse-engineer shit ever since?
And then they accidentally wake up all the 'bots inside...
>>5775528
There's childish and then those that are life controlling.
>>5775587
That's a good point. Though I think fiction would get more of a pass than a toyline, if only because Hasbro only seems to sell toys they can sell in toy stores (as opposed to in "speciality stores"). A comic with Hitler working with Megatron could be sold in a comic store specifically to older fans. A King Tiger Megatron II with a Swastika-Deceptibrand fusion in a toy store would set off a fucking shitstorm.
Okay so Skullcrunchers loose hips seem to be common, but has anyone dealt with a stunted or proken wrist peg?
The bottom peg on the left wrist of mine seems to either be broken or was an error. It can pop out kind of easy, but not too bad. Can't hold weapons easily though.
>>5775587
Most of the Nazi remement guys either abandonned Nazism over time to a different belief system that adapts to what they considered important from it such as oppressing others or improvement of humanity and discarded everything else of it, or are pretenders that simply ape the look of it without the meaning.

I suggest you turn the thighs so that the "sirens" face the front. Gives a more dynamic/sleek default pose and differentiates the design from Defensor even more.

Which alternate reality do you come from? Gojira have nothing to do with djent or post-metal. They're prog death/groove metal.
Meshuggah are the pioneers of Djent and they too have nothing in common with post-metal

>The Titan Masters look more like Nightbeat and Siren themselves than the old Nebulan partners. As I said previously, the new Titan masters are not backwards compatible with vintage Headmaster figures. They manage to sit in the slot but there’s virtually no friction, they wobble about in there and look a shade too small to pull off the complete look.
3rd party TR->G1 headmaster adaptors when? It'd certainly make all the cheap ass bodies on eBay useful again.
>>5775852
Uh? so... late, late replacements for lost/broken headmasters, nice.

>>5775896
>UW computron missing a member compared to all the other combiners
But its not a real member, its a draftee by hasbro to become an accessory with the only real one being shockwave.
Also blackjack and his mold buddies just don't work on the voyager truck mold, better off with just the stock 5.
Just get the UW and enjoy the better package, buy a cosmos if you're that desperate.
>>5775906
You sound like you have some issues.
>>5775910

>>5775906
You have a good point with Cosmos, since the new dude is a repaint of him after all. I might just get that then
>>5775915
Just read what you said. You're coming off like youre bothered, if not bad, about 6th members. Then you use words like "real member" and "desperate". And now you give a response like this? Automatically that defensive?

He's a retool. Not a repaint.
>>5775922

You replied to the wrong guy, but yes, your shitposting sucks.
I have the molds already, I got them cheap, I'm also aware its a marketing gimmick to buy the smaller guys.
I'm more mad someone is torn by a shittier toy because it has a 6th member and thought I'd give my honest opinion.

Enough autism, needs more toys.
>>5775869
I think they're more meant to be what the Legends triplechangers/targetmasters were for CW. What's makes more sense for a Headmasters reboot than spare head accessories that also come with triplechanger vehicle/targetmasters?
I doubt they gave a single fuck about G1 compatibility and rather saw opportunity to harken back to the G1 Headmaster characters in the accessory packs while not risk losing dosh by having a good chunk of the actual figures be much more recognizable and profitable characters. Hence why we're getting guys who never were Headmasters in the TR line.
>>5775852

How's PM Prime?
>>5776018
Would've bought the guy but his feet...
>>5776069
He's not bad, better than magnus in alot of aspects, less cheap feeling. All the grey plastic is much less hollow compared to the hfg of the combiners.
Qc on mine is hit and miss, elbows have a soft ratchet but the pin is messed up so he can barely hold his guns, which are vastly improved with the new slots you slide in to hold them. All in all I like titans return, got fortmax on the way. Just don't spend over 45 on leaders.
>>5776085
I loved Magnus but the PM Prime just ain't doing it for me. Nice to hear they fixed Magnus' shitty hands though. They were the only bad part of that figure to me.
>>5776085
Forgot pic
>>5776085
>just don't spend over $45 on the leaders
That's gonna be pretty difficult to do considering their MSRP is $45.99, after tax that makes them both almost $50 in my area. It doesn't help that Amazon and most online retailers are hit or miss with leader pricing, rarely offering much in the way of discounts.

That doesn't exist, there's no rule to "get around". IDW and Hasbro pretty much do their own things, except when they work together to do stuff like Combiner Wars. This was discussed at a recent Botcon or something.
>>5776170
His brother that had been missing for ages and just died. That conversation doesn't just have to be about Rewind's involvement with him. He was, you know, Magnus's brother.
>>5776180
Still, when you're trying to crush heads is probably not the right time.
Especially when they had a lot of downtime before the fight.
>>5776175
I take it all back. Lets up they don't go a bit higher or lower than where they are facing right now.
>>5776183
Cannons are the same hinge that magnus's missles were on so they pretty much can rotate 90 and if you turn the arms they can rotate downward
>>5776199
Dude. You are free to admit that no matter the configuration it's not much of a base.

>The Vehicons admittedly have some rather good looking vehicle modes
i know right? I feel like its only because those are the designs Mainframe fucked with the least, they were relatively toy accurate for BM
I dont know why Hasbro and Mainframe thought it was a good idea to let the latter design the robots. Beast Wars characters were designed by toy designers first, and Mainframe second, that's why thy looked good and thats why people liked them
>>5776264
jetstorm deserves to be in a new show. sad that that name has become such a generic TF handle now
>>5776268
The Vehicons are pretty sick despite the rest of the show being garbage. Don't know how they fucked up basically all the other designs for the rest of the show.
The worst thing about the show, however, is not the designs, nor the animations, nor the characters. It's fucking plot and premise of the show.
Find a flaw.
>>5776272

That's honestly my only real issue with him. I also wish the legs were beefier too but that's livable, the cannon is a no sell for me
Thread new >>5776300
>>5776272
Ugly as fuck color scheme and design.
>>5776272
The shoulder joints on the mold are shit. Legs are too skinny. No ankle tilts. And the Cannon on the arm is kind of shitty, and I would have greatly prefered it to have been a detachable piece that can properly sit on the forearm, instead of that shitty flippy joint its permanently stuck on.
