>>11446826I want a good big base for my tiny guys
But I already have TR Fort Max with Upgrades so
I guess I already have one?
I'm excited for tiny Cliffjumper tho and really hoping that Devastator comes out soon but the 3rd set isn't up yet
>>11446817 (OP)What figure is that white jet?
>>11447019Abominator by MSS, retool of their Armada Starscream.
>>11446826Is that- is that a MM scale fort max?
I want some more bases for my micromasters but a genuinely feel like titan class shit is overkill since I have to move around a lot. Might just track down more Airwaves or something tho
The Wu โtitansโ are fantastic but way too small
I might buy both the toy and toon decos.
>>11447426Micromaster scale. I didnโt even realize i abbreviated it
>>11447459Close enough beside Wu's stuff i think
>>11446826Did Zeta reissue their Fortmax again, or is this just one you've had for a while/recently bought?
>>11447437I have hope this will turn out good.
>>11447552It's the new reissue of their Grand Max w/ extra stickers

This ModFans company bought the mold from ZETA and reissued FortMax earlier.
Bums me that all seven sets of shoulders use the bad shoulder design
>>11447895I love him but I wish the shoulders were better and I'm aiming to swap the hands for those articulated MP style hands
>>11448080This is what a properly scaled legends jetfire would look like. Basically OSMPM size, pretty crazy.
yup it has wings https://weibo.com/7329256619/Pvr1n3sxP

Is there any notion of when the Craftman Computron sets are supposed to drop?
>>11448945They said that the first 2-pack is supposed to drop during July, but we'll see if they can actually make it since it's right around the corner and we still don't have full color shots.
are there any 3rd party designs based on the armada series? thats my favorite.
which ultra magnus is better for posing
XTB stack or FT margh
>>11449141I think their both pretty good in the articulation range. XTB is basically an upgraded Takara while FT is a fresh take doing the inner prime.
>>11449122Yeah there's a handful, not nearly as much choice as there is for G1 characters though. Fans Hobby has the the biggest roster so far, they've done Prime and Megatron, along with their powerlinx decks, as well as Tidal Wave and the minicon weapon teams. I believe they also have a Starscream in the works. They do have their own design language, and they aren't slavishly rendered off of the original designs, taking a few liberties here and there. There's also Mechanical Skull Studio, they've put out legends scaled Starscream and Ramjet so far.
>>11449163Don't they have a Demolisher in the works too?
>>11449163ive been thining of trying to get a few armada figures loose and repainting them to match some minicons. not really sure which characters but ive been thinking of demolisher, cyclonus, or maybe another smaller figure like that.
the armada line has a thundercracker and skywarp so i was inspired to try painting some new characters. have only painted gundam model kits so will have to see if it works or not. with the joints im not sure if its even possible.
>>11449170Oh yeah, they do, I forgot him. I also forgot about Jetfire and Overload. I don't have those two since I'm holding out for repaints.
happening https://weibo.com/2352651453/PvxCK6pXX
>>11448380How tall is this figure? Does he scale with the CHUGS?
>>11449193When are these gonna show up on sites that aren't BBTS
>>11449141I donโt think many people would have both
But in my opinion, only get FT if you want a white prime
>>11449199Really? That's pretty good.
>>11449201Anon
The ShowZ pre order was actually almost a year ago
But they're pretty good about having extra stock when they release
>>11449295Why the fuck did it attach that image?
I take it my old reply never went thru and it dropped
Man no 4Chan X is annoying
>>11449141I actually owned both at one point but sold XTB. The one thing XTB has over Margh in posability is the ankles move forward allowing more Moses with the legs.
Just jumped on the legend scale train. Liking these guys so far.
Current Decepticon boys. Who should be next? Only really have the coneheads in mind for now.
>>11448380Looks good, might print the toymakr3d for the robot and use the carrier mode for some legends Seekers. With a llittle imagination any dark colored autobot can be a decepticon. On the topic of that I'd like to make a Datsun Barricade eventually.
>>11449308I had XTB, it's good for the price and if you don't care for the gimmick. Of course FT will have better paint however.
>>11449310They look nice.
>>11449310This set was also my intro to legends
Despite their niggling flaws I still really like em
>>11448083>This is what a properly scaled legends jetfire would look like.Nope that pic is the size of my 1/48th blackbird kit, roughly the same scale as the OG MP starscream who had the 1/48th scale professor fig)). the previous pic was about 5-6 cm shorter than the current legends scale but not that far off.
Sr-71's are surprisingly smaller than you think in person. pic related.
>>11449193https://weibo.com/2352651453/PvAPixFI1
>how many sets are you buying?>yes
>>11449440Nope, it's 1/72 scale. 107ft length X 12 inches / 72 =17 inches. Bailan prime is 4.72 inches and a canon height of 28 ft and 28ft x 12 inches /72 = 4.66
>>11449310Nice. Magic Square's are easily my favorite Constructicons.
>>11449310Honestly probably my favorite set in my entire legends collection. Newage Dinobots come at second, and while itโs not a distant second, the MS Devy team had a fair lead anyhow.
>>11449336They are fun Lil fellas
>>11449437The G2 version looks so good.

>>11450028They fucked it up
>>11449440I always had the impression the SR-71 was like twice as long as an F-15. Strange seeing that they're so close
>>11450100Blackbird is about 43 feet longer.
>>11449901>>11449902Damn. Sounds like a lot of different directions of issues.
>>11449440>Sr-71's are surprisingly smaller than you think in personI think most people have no idea how big jets really are and underestimate their size.
An SR71 is huge.
>>11449901You mean indie/doujin TF designers, right?
Problem with Iceberg, AmazingSpino and Kamizono's designs is that they don't CAD and prove their transformations in 3D space. This means whichever company picks them up has to invest in a lot of engineering which is the actual hard part. It's an uphill battle from the start. It's no coincidence that Nicee got made first because her transformation is mostly the T30 mold's minus the car hood turning into the chest.
To Iceberg's credit, they've started doing CAD and protoyping their own designs, only to realize how difficult it was. Currently they are doing design work for Quan Kai Studios (specifically the core body), doesn't transform but a job's a job.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mujAIaiIXeE
One thing you missed out is Spino's designs commissioned by Scifigure. Nebula got heavily redesigned into a shellformer. Then Scifigure pivoted their business and Spino's other designs there are in limbo.
>>11449902>T-Beast artist doesn't do Transformers art anymore because of third parties constantly screwing him over behind the scenes.Kyoryu Kuramochi, and also Ban who designed the Flame Toys fembots, both got screwed more by twitter than 3Ps. The T-beast stuff wasn't an issue until twitter tried to accuse and cancel Kyoryu over IP infringement. Ban got hounded by western twitter troons day 1 even before being picked up by Flame Toys.
>>11450256The Quankai mantis and headless horse woman have basic transformations. Iceberg is definitely the most prolific of the bunch, he's working freelance for 4-5 studios so hopefully something good comes out of one of them. Also he's making some furry action figures for SCS studio.
>Scifigure I think nebula was so dissapointing I blocked her out of my memory. Her being a licensed car definitely didn't help the design process.

>>11452006Are there even any other Beast Machines 3rd party toys besides this and that Legends Twrecks? I loved some of the BM toys from around this era, mostly vehicons, and Botcon repaints of older toys even though the show was bad. (I'm so mad transart ragequit.) I'm hoping the legends Rampage gives us a Shokarakt repaint. It's being made by the guys who did Twrecks too so it seems likely.
>>11452043wtf is blud yapping about
>>11450260At least the Tbeast guy went on to be the mecha designer of Mashin Crestor Wataru (a new entry to Mashin Hero Wataru) which had a whole line of plamo. You might recognize wataru cause 3P companies love making non superdeformed notmashins that look more like gunpla. Or at least they used to.
>>11452009MMC also did Obsidian and Strika retools.
>>11452046Itโs DioPedo, heโs mindbroken as per usual over something inane and for being called out as a cat abuser and a hypocrite
>>11452191This guy is really nice, feels twice as heavy as lockdown due to the parts count and metal. Only complaints are that the wheel split gimmick doesn't really work as they just fall back into place, the swords are opaque and replace the hands instead of going on top of the wrist. Peterbilt mode is a bit too thin to match with oldschool movie legends but the robot modes work pretty well. Really hoping that they make some cars as the quality is pretty great. Smart car twins and arcee triplets are probably impossible at the size but I'm down for Jetfire and sentinel.
>>11452345Also this guy rolls great, probably the best rolling wheels I've had on a 3P, nearly Spychangers level.
>>11452197they forgot the orange gradient reeeee

OSKOs aren't as frequent due to MPM seemingly being done after 07 line. Chinese OC military brands like Bowu school and the rocket dragon are still MiA.

RT says they are doing the last wave of reissues for these two guys next month. Does this mean they abandoning that mechanical aesthetic?
>>11465830Probably.
And I own both of them and I donโt ever plan to swap them out for anything more toon accurate, but it makes me wonder why they are aesthetically designed like the way they are in the first place.
>>11466267I think the stylized mechanical look was their original vision, but they basically pivoted based on market feedback. People expressed a demand for legends scale BW figures with toon accuracy, and Robot Toys delivered.
I'm seriously considering dropping 75$ on IR Getter Oni. Any other 3P TFs I should consider before buying?
>>11467063I passed on it. Have you seen the video? That Getter's combination seems really weak. It requires further partsforming of the forearms and lower legs, plus the cockpits and oni-masks for Jaguar and Bear machines are purely cosmetic parts not involved in the combination. The recent Moderoid kit has a better combination scheme with compromises to the look, and there are plenty of non-combining Getter figures, so you're really just paying (a lot) extra for the Oni style.
>>11467063>>11467073Here's a shot of the extra parts. It's weird that they put in effort to integrate the tomahawk into the plane modes but didn't bother to integrate the masks and cockpits into the bot mode.

>>11471462Surprised Fans Hobby hasn't made one of their G2 Prime mold, they can get pretty obscure with their redecos.
>>11471462Why? It's just Prime But Ugly.
>>11472581That's precisely why.
>>11472908But if you want an ugly Prime, you could just buy some Bayformers.
>>11473020Yes I could do that.
But I want multiple ugly Primes.
And I specifically want one in vomit green.
>>11446817 (OP)I just got that MSS toy and while I love the red sword, I feel like it's on a limited amount of time. It feels like it's gonna snap on me at some point.
Whelp, this is gonna take awhile.
