Why did Hasbro lie about not being able to do pretenders?

Fake thread.

I'm glad they used a UTshit mold for something useful.

>>11451351
Only his skin. His insides are made up of foil.

>>11451367 (OP)
This ain't no Pretender, boy. Nope, it's the Apex Armor. One somehow scaled to fit in a 4 to 5-inch human figure to wear.
Also, Micronus happens to transform into a Legendisc, and barely seems to fit as the missing Green Legendisc that doesn't have a toy parallel.

second one he's made for no reason while another thread was still going, in as many days.

>>11451427
I think they just gave Venom a new mold because he's Mark's favorite. The rest got cucked with retools.

>>11451367 (OP)
I wish we had more TF's with guns for hands. Prime Cliff was unfairly rare

>>11451435
Same. I was just fiddling with RTS Windcharger the other day. It feels like we don't get stuff with cool integrated weapons anymore.

>>11451367 (OP)
>>11451372
damn, micronus is way cooler than I expected, I thought I was going to skip him but I might grab it now just for the mech suit

>>11451435
RTS Windcharger's got them, Triggerhappy's got them, and quite a few TFs like Devcon can flip their hands around to make them look like cannons. Agreed though, built-in weapons is such a great gimmick.

>>11451410
I wonder if they wanted to use the Core mold but couldn’t after Hasbro basically halted production on them
>>11451427
I think this is technically separate enough to not get them sued
>>11451432
The others got stuck with retools because the other Insecticons were close enough designs to work

>>11451447
The mold was already pretty bad at Bumblebee's likeness with the giant bumper and square roof, so it makes sense they wouldn't give a shit and would use it as is.

>>11451451

Eh, I remember that look more than the black moustache one.

I always wonder if it’s a deal with Marvel, since Hasbro makes a ton of Venom toys in Legends no problem

What artifacts does micronus include? One seems to be Apex Armor, but what's the wheel supposed to be.

>>11451504
If not, you could always use this guy

>>11451522
I expected that to look like a round rock, or something. A wheel seems... off?

>>11451523
Can we at least get a Machine Wars Hoist? You could even spin it as a reference to Hoist's toy catalog colors

>>11451525
It's not that bad an option as a last resort, but so is Transmetal Waspinator. If the cancelled Horrorcon two-pack was released, I could have just bought that and called it a day.
Once I get my house of the remodeling slump it's in, I'll start to work on either a Bugly our of MFT Black Shadow (I should have bought it when it was 10 dollars) and my aviator fly OC out of Kingdom Waspinator.
Maybe I could use that, but my Kingdom Buzzsaw is not the best at doing elegant poses.

>>11451513
If possible, I want characters to have altmodes that fit their personalities. I guess a black emergency SUV fits him but the hearse it's a more fun concept to me.
We also have a scarcity of decepticon medics. I wish the few we got could get their own molds.

>>11451376
hmmm sorta tempted to buy these guys now

>>11451374
needs a cape

>>11451525
This will always be an odd toy to me given it’s referencing a redeco of Transmetal Waspinator. Then again, none of the other Horrorcons were Transmetals, so it’s a bit weird Waspinator was
>>11451540
I like them. I know people complain about them being retools, but I think it works for their designs, especially since the Insecticons are known for cloning, it makes sense why some would look like others

>>11451544
And a vape

>>11451540
Better grab em now. Prices will probably shoot up because of Venin.

>>11451374
Needs a bigger head and longer legs.

>>11451540
Do it right now, the Venom reveal will double their prices.

>be Asia
>At Mexico
>Wal Mart
>These

is there a reason that I never see stuff like this at the place I live?

>>11451540
Anyone rising up for the Beetras redesigns? They're cool, but Venin having a unique insect gives him a special case compared to the other three (Barrage is a Bombshell remold, Chop Shop is Skrapnel, and Ransack is Kickback).

>>11451556
Okay, fuck it, headswap the AOTP figure with the SDCC one. And I might be a bit daft about this, but do you think Zerta Trion will have a similar gimmick to her old friend here?

>>11451556
I like AOTP mold more overall but prefer the head on the Legacy one

I’ll just wait for the inevitable half a dozen 3P upgrades that give him a new head and cape

>>11451556
>>11451374
I really fuck with the translucent red and silver outlined autobot insignia.

>>11451567
What the hell is Zerta Trion?

>>11451567
>fuck it, headswap the AOTP figure with the SDCC one
Why would you fuck the superior figure? it looks closer to the cartoon than the new greebly toy with short shins.

>>11451381
Wasn't this guy supposed to be a Trailcutter redeco?

>>11451576
Alpha Trion's old friend in one of his younger flashbacks, real name Beta. Another female Cybertronian who somehow ended up in the black hole donut planet in Void Rivals, and is a central character for that planet's lore.
Don't know what Void Rivals is? Basically Banner of the Stars or Our Last Crusade mixed with a space opera with a twist tied to Transformers.

>>11451578
Why? Better alt mode, of course, rather than the Scourge retool of the SDCC toy.

>>11451580
Just like Cannonball is supposed to be a RedAlert redeco but we got a Skids in disguise,

>>11451585
Thats the lamest excuse dude, how long will he stay in grebbly slab mode? just once or twice and then is always botmode along Orion and Ariel.

>>11451580
>Trailcutter redeco?
Yeah, but of the Thrilling 30/IDW version. And the guy that originally created him for a Bayverse comic envisioned a geewun version of him being a hearse. Either way this retool looks cool enough for me.

>>11451580
No, his IDW artist just based him off the T30 Trailcutter toy.
>>11451583
It’s weird we haven’t gotten a toy of her yet

>>11451563
These mostly went to grocery stores like kroger signature, heb, etc

I found the Wal-mart Thundertron pack at DD's today but the bat was missing. Asked the lady if she could knock off a few bucks and she was relieved when I was fine with 10% ($2). I feel like Thundertron is undercooked.

>>11451563
Back in the good old days, shops like Big Lots, Dollar General, and Family Dollar had mini-cons and legends guys. If only we knew, in those halcyon days, how cringe things would become.

>>11451594
Oh, but she will next year, if this year's SDCC toy being Void Rivals-themed is any indication. Unless she ends up in Studio Series Comic Edition in 2027.

>>11451556
>>11451575
>Alpha Trion's autobot symbol can come off just like in Forever is a Long Time Coming
Beta soon?

>>11451613
Next year in SDCC. And she has a better name now: Zerta Trion.

>>11451381
UTkino*
You are welcome, tranny.

>>11451615
Feels kind of weird that they didn’t call her Zeta Trion. At least that’s still an actual Greek letter

>>11451376
>>11451379
People were asking what this guy could be turned into and there a lot of options
>T30 Venin colors (black and purple instead of orange and green)
>Transquito if the retool the proboscis
>BW Cicadacon although this might require more retooling
>FunPub Cicadon, which would be mostly red with silver details
>SG Venom/Venin

>>11451374
>>11451375
Honestly he's the least creative of the 13 shown off so far.

>>11451402
That's reserved for Tombstone (who ended up as a G.I Joe guy in the 50th 2-packs) that Mark Webber wanted to make back in the Age of Extinction days.

>>11451618
>>11451613
>>11451615
I would kinda want an Omega Trion too.
I guess he would be mostly red with some purple?

So we’re all in agreement that he’s going to be an Armada Megatron retool, right?
>>11451623
I’ll probably just wait until they make a new Logos Prime instead. The Coder Remote is a cool feature though, makes me hope we get a Dark Guardian redeco of Omega

>>11451628
I'd be okay with it as long, and this is a big as long on my part, the face sculpt is the usual and not trying to look like M*lne's :>( faces.

>>11451618
Maybe because Zeta Prime is used elsewhere. Of course, Theta Trion or something would be free to use.

>>11451625
That reminds me, if we get Armada Jetfire, I hope they also do a Spacewarp redeco, especially since her original toy got hijacked by Astrotrain (I know her toy was canceled, I’m just making a joke). You could even justify it by advertising her as Nemesis Prime's counterpart to Jetfire

>>11451623
a symptom of being toonerslop

>>11451638
Doesn't even look a thing like tooner style

>>11451628
Yeah I can see it. Hope they at least give him the leg cannons.

I don't think I'll ever warm up to the Thirteen.
Onyx and Micronus Prime, at least, should look awesome to me but both land with a soft thud when I remember they are meant to be a gay parody of the Olympian gods that somehow lead to the non-god Optimus.
It's so stupid.
We should have gotten a line of consecutive autobot guru/king/president/hokage instead of this stupid fucking idea.

>>11451653
Don't worry, they would have done your idea in a way you dislike as well.

>>11451656
Masterpiece only?
That's the only way I wouldn't like the jobber Primes from the FFOD flashback.

>>11451615
It's weird that you're pushing this here AND on tfw2005

>>11451645
That's Animated style not G1 tooner

>>11451653
I dont like alignedslop either but the fun thing about toys is you can imagine them doing and being whatever you want

>>11451628
Or megatronus, but honestly i think I'd prefer armada megs

>>11451659
Tooner means Animated, not G1.

>>11451662
In what world

>>11451653
>We should have gotten a line of consecutive autobot guru/king/president/hokage instead
We kind of do, since that’s the Matrix of Leadership's whole gimmick, with Prima being the only, unless you count Optimus, of the Thirteen to wield its power before passing it on to the next in line. I personally prefer it when the Thirteen exists just to explain why Transformers have the abilities they do. My personal headcanon is that Cybertronians are believed to be descended from two of the Thirteen and that’s what determines their abilities. Like the Constructicons are descended from Solus and Nexus, explaining their building skill and combining ability or Optimus is descended from Prima and Trion/Logos, explaining his leadership skill and logical genius.

>>11451660
The problem is more that we're likely never getting the good version of Optimus's predecessors because of these.
Knowing how incompetent Hasbro is about their archiving, they likely don't even know there were other Primes in the style of Optimus in the cartoon.

>>11451661
I could see that, though I personally think that they’re going to make IDW Megs out of Megatronus instead, especially since they both have somewhat similar builds and those weird things on the outside of their legs

>named Flatline
>ECG symbol on side of vehicle isn't a flat line

>>11451670
Certainly looks like it's flatlining

>>11451666
Do you mean just Aligned or in general because Hasbro just referenced one of Optimus's predecessors from the G1 cartoon in Prima Prime's AotP design

>>11451672
Never mind he's got a pulse

>>11451670
No no see that reading is the last heartbeat BEFORE you flatline.

>>11451675
I don’t think those lines are connected, anon

>>11451677
>>11451678
>Flatline has to do donuts to tell everyone how the patient is doing

>>11451665
Well, I think that's unnecessarily convoluted. These are super advanced sapient robots that can live for millions of years. At that point, what difference does it make if you're born from one magical robot or the other?
I don't hate Furman but he's a retard when it comes to lore and he always went for THE most absurd explanation for shit he could come up with; and later writers instead of bucking that trend, follow.
The G1 cartoon lore is, in my opinion, the best because of how easy it is to follow and how much originality it brings while being simple and kind of dumb.
The most glaring example of this is Megatron. G1 Megatron is unlike any villain seen in other places, a guy that was created to be the living vanguard of the Decepticons.
Post-IDW Megatron (Aligned, ONE, likely Cyberverse and Earthspark but I haven't watched either) is a cookie cutter villain, a run-off-the-mill fallen freedom fighter.
Another is the Dinobots. The G1 cartoon Dinobots are fun and uncomplicated. The G1 comics Dinobots are cooler but there's not crazy storyline to explain why they transform into dinosaurs, and they confirm cybertronians can scan whatever and transform into it
Post-IDW Dinobots can't decide what to make of them, but it's always some kind of science gone wrong cliche. You don't need that. Just say they were made to look like dinosaurs because dinosaurs are really strong.

>>11451674
In general. I plan to get Prima when I get to it but only because it's not as ridiculous as the others.
He could be a good reason to learn to sculpt properly because holy shit that stupid fucking greebling.

>>11451683
Generational difference was always a trope in transformers, and that's all the 13 really need to be
But just writing them off as the founders of cybertron, it's moons, and colonies is enough.

>>11451662
No. Tooner was coined to mock G1 cartoon accuracy.

>>11451688
I honestly prefer a few of them being the founders of Cybertron, definitely Prima, maybe the Megatronus too if you're like me and have the headcanon that they were friends.
The rest should be leaders that followed in place of Prima after his death or exile. They could be accommodated as the founders of some colonies too, not like in real life rulers haven't ever moved around.

>>11451695
I like the idea of Liege Maximo as a Prime who rebelled against Primus because he didn't want to be a pawn in the eternal war between Primus and Unicron and who wanted to ascend into godhood himself (like in the non canon Alugnment story written by Furman).

>>11451691
No it wasn't. Look >>11449300

#1 figures of 2024 I spazzed out to get and barely touch them

I'm Sort of a Transformers Collector Manly for Studio Series and I feel like nothing good interesting comes out for my taste and my local Walmart does have none now but just the Transformers Earthspark stuff and those recent Transformers hero mashers.I Also went to a bigger Walmart that was remodeling the aisles and found ZERO Transformers as I went to the collector section and just found that Transformers One Bumblebee which I believe was the Studio Series version.

Transformers Collecting to me is no good and can't find good shit.

Bayverse Ratchet is my favorite movie Autobot design, I like that Flatline is kind of the nemesis version of his livery. Is this guy based on anything or is he toy original?

>>11451717
>marvelshit
Irrelevant to transformers. Tooner in this thread is used to make fun of G1 cartoon accuracy. You can just ask anyone in this thread.

>>11451770
Oh, you mean a Genwunner? We already have a word for that.

Anybody talkin' about this yet?

>>11451653
>>11451665
Is that what's next after this line?
After the 13 god primes, we get the ___ predecessors to Optimus and maybe Megatron?

>>11451773
No, geenwunners is just a general name to call G1fags. Tooners specifically mocks the preference of figure design being sacrificied in order to accommodate design flaws from the crappy models of the G1 cartoon.

Anybody you wish would get a toy?

I swear Hasbro lost Misfire's mold or is under contractual obligation not to re-release it.
A two pack with Slugslinger? Really?

>>11451782
Ew. Don't quote Thew in my presence. Disgusting.

>>11451769
IDW character.

>>11451782
Pedo Chungus.

>>11451769
Flatline is an IDW original. He's a con doc, kind of a dick but not outright evil, and has his own oath to help any cybertronian in need, no matter their allegiance. Future iterations would make him a generic evil scientist guy.

They should have made more guys who turned into guns

>>11451769
Bay comic original, then got transplanted to IDW and earth wars, personality's basically more hardass Glit

>>11451810
Oh that's nice. Will likely get home then. I like it when there are Cons with a sense of honor or morals and not just a bunch of cackling psychopaths.

>>11451810
>>11451827
Neat, I don't know much about the IDW guys aside from the ones that were pushed a lot like Tarn or Rung. That's a pretty interesting characterization and I like the design, I'll keep an eye out for him.

>>11451837
>I like it when there are Cons with a sense of honor or morals and not just a bunch of cackling psychopaths.
Yeah, I liked that about him too. Well between that and him basically just being a no nonsense Decepticon medic with a cool look.

Okay, semi-related topic: Amalgamous Prime's free-form transformation is enough for him to be released as a Voyager Weaponizer for next year, but while we get the whole Shifter thing, do you think someone would connect him to the long defunct Robotix brand of toys, one which is ultimately darker than the not quite sunshine and rainbows that is Transformers in terms of story?

>>11451776
I think I get it. Then what do you do say for all the other shows? Is a Beast Wars figure that does that a Framer or something? I guess Studio Series was a line of Oviers.

Can you fucktards please stop spamming the catalogue with a million different tfg threads?

Thanks.

>>11451556
Looks like trash. How do you not give him the beard, his literal single most defining feature? Is hasbro actually retarded?

The Scourge retool is unironically way better.

>>11451905
Sorry man, rulesfag refuses to accept a thread made without his pasta so he spams the board whenever someone else makes the thread. He should really be rangebanned.

>>11451374
Gonna pose him like The Statue of Liberty, except with Vector Sigma as the torch.

>>11451818
>>11451819
Yeah, I tried looking it up and apparently that BWVS pack is obscene money now. Ech.
Buying a normal Blackarachnia and tracking down the toy-colors one for not-dumb prices also isn't easy, but then again it is much less than the BWVS one.
Only question is, if I do the swap, would anyone ever buy off me a toy-colors Blackarachnia with black spider legs...? Lmao.

>>11451908
>Paul saying ANYONE should be rangebanned
Pot, meet kettle.

>>11451906
You literally see how. Now you can buy both the Scourge retool AND the new younger one from War Dawn.

>>11451427
They always could. They just can’t use the original 80s molds, which are probably rotting in some Bandai warehouse.

>>11451774

So tempting to get and put with G2 Grimlock…

>>11451780
Missing Link Insecticons. After seeing sunstreaker, it gives me hope Takara would include their Waruder pilots

>>11451920
Who the fuck is Paul?

Strange opinion, but do you think Hasbro will somehow pack in Pinpointer on the Age of the Primes Sureshot alongside his actual partner Spoilsport? Considering all it takes is filling in what is missing, and how Hasbro apparently refuses to update the Decepticon Targetmasters by only giving them their signature guns throughout Siege and not give the main Transformer entirely new molds, it's actually an unfortunate consequence. And every other modern Pinpointer is hard to find at this rate.

>>11451374
can someone shoop his 'tash to be black?

>>11451960
Did a rush job

>>11451967
That helps thanks, I think it works. Makes more sense to me, as much as a living metal man with facial hair that grows and greys makes sense anyway.

Normally for a D-lister like Venom I'd post the vintage Transformers Universe profile scan, but he didn't get one... sorta. Budiansky DID write a full bio but it never got public back in the 80s.

>Profile: Venom will use his poisonous talents even on his fellow Decepticons at times. This is because Venom trusts no one. least of all his fellow Insecticons, any of whom, he feels, might be tempted to usurp his role as Insecticon Leader. What little self-esteem Venom has he draws from this title. So nervous is he about losing it that his behavior borders on paranoia: he would rather try to eliminate a comrade he barely suspects of coveting his position than risk letting him live. Some Decepticons say disparagingly that Venom would be better off if he were captured by the Autobots -- at least he would no longer have his fellow Decepticons to worry about.

>Abilities: The stinger mounted on Venom's head can discharge a variety of fluids harmful to both mechanical and organic life: acids that break down metal alloys, catalysts that alter molecular structures, toxins that paralyze human nervous systems, and several others. The stinger itself can penetrate ¼-inch steel. In insect form, Venom can fly 15 mph with a range of 300 miles. In robot form, he carries an electric-blaster gun, powerful enough to short-circuit a tank.

>Weaknesses: Being as suspicious as he is, Venom has few friends, and fewer still who will come to his aid in times of trouble. His stinger often gets stuck, in his target, which sometimes leads, to it breaking off.

NOTE: "Venom can fly 15 mph" may not sound impressive since it's barely twice the speed of a normal person running, but when you consider that in the Marvel Comics side of things the Insecticons WERE insect sized, it's a little more sensible. That said, the average flight speed of a real cicada is 9 mph.

>>11451986
Have the deluxe insecticons ever been shown being able to make clones of themselves like the main trio?

>>11451986
I wish they’d print a new book with all the full tech specs in it. I’ve always been curious if post-Movie TFs got full descriptions or just the small blurb on the packaging

>>11451993
Funnily enough, the cloning ability originates from the cartoon, with no mention of it in their original bios. I think there’s been a couple of times they’ve implied they can, but writers tend to default to just the main trio
>>11451994
I remembered after posting this that they did, they just split them across different issues of the Marvel Comic

Time for Hasbro's humilation ritual

>You don't see a lot of colored faces in Transformers
What did Mark mean by this?

>Micronus is a minicon AND a pretender AND a weaponizer

venom looks so good I'm tempted to get the other guys but nearly $60 is a big ask

They do know there's a demand for Misfire reissue.

>>11452028
I'd like a Misfire with the og boxart head tbdesu. Never liked the toy/show head.

T-that was it?

>>11452033
Not defending the corporation, but if you don't spend every waking hour of the day looking for pictures of new stuff, that was a lot. Most of these were only shown not even like 12 hrs ago and we hadn't fully seen them yet.

So...

LMAO they didn't show the studio series shit? Hasbro marketing is a fucking disaster

>>11452036
They said the next stream is Studio Series.

>>11452039
who cares, takara already revealed it all

>>11452037
Oh my god would you give it a fucking rest already?

>>11452042
hasbro isn't gonna fuck you retard

Say it with me kids

TAKARA

ALWAYS

WINS

>>11452044
>implying I am defending them rather than telling you you're fucking annoying and we get it already.

You're like a fucking alarm clock that never stops going off. Just shut the fuck up already. Hasbro sucks and this uncertainty of prices and release dates and non-reveals are annoying, but jesus H christ just take a nap or something, you're so fucking annoying. You don't need to whine about it on the hour, every hour.

There's a throwaway cryptic message in Onyx Prime's part of the stream:
>Collect all the Primes and their Artifacts. They will all have a purpose soon.
Excuse me? What are they doing, a new Halo of Primus to place all thirteen "primary" Artifacts? Remember, the Covenant of Primus, the Proton Spear, and the Apex Armor are not "primary" Artifacts per se, but whatever it is, this is a bad kind of shilling for those only wanting to get whatever they want. Are we in some form of "Flame-Chase" journey again like with Power of the Primes?

>>11452052
They transform into a usable gun so we can blow our brains out. That's why Star Convoy comes with a single bullet as an accessory.

>>11452052
Pretty sure they already said the weapons will all combine or some shit. Nobody cares about it, thats why they are shilling it so hard.

>>11452050
this is the first time I've been in one of these threads in months you absolute schizo

keep defending the corpo that waited almost half a year to do a stream with nothing but shit we've already seen and none of the stuff takara's shown. hasbro is a joke and with ball gargling fans like you it's no wonder the franchise is nearly dead

>>11452060
Can you read? Just because I hate you doesn't mean I'm massaging Hasbro. And just because it's your first time in months, doesn't mean you're not fucking annoying.

>>11452052
Mark said a while ago in one of his instagram posts that the artifacts combine to form the well of all sparks.
Nobody knew what the fuck he was talking about so people assumed he was just making up lore on the spot.

>this is the first time I've been in one of these threads in months you absolute schizo
you're a lying faggot

>>11452037
How new are you? These streams never show both a wave of Generations and a wave of Studio Series

>>11452063
Now I'm worried. None of each piece assembling some superweapon make sense. Prima's Star Saber, Vector's Rhisling and Cyber Key, Megatronus's Requiem Blaster, Solus's Forge hammer, and so on combining into a superweapon is a blatant absurdity.

>>11451774
I'll gladdly grab a set when the offload some unsold stock at ROSS in a couple years. I don't see the G2 repaint sflying off the shelves especially when they're reissuing the SS86 ones.

>>11452070
I don't think it's a weapon, it's probably just a display thing like the throne of the primes.

>>11452070
Combining together doesn't seem likely, and Mark seemed careful to not phrase it that way
Obviously there's no word on it yet be uf there were, say, a Titan Primus that could slot in all 13 artifacts I'd believe that

>>11452076
Though the leaks did say Star Prime will be the lone Titan of AOTP. If they make Primus, maybe he'd be in Studio Series for reasons, but he should be a properly scaled Titan some radii bigger than his old 2005 toy, yet small enough to get bitten by HasLab Unicron.

>>11452068
What kinda fag watches toy reveal streams though? I just look at /tfg/ and tfw after the fact.

>Micronus' bike/mech can split into components
Neat. How much is he running?

I know its "screen accurate" but man that ROTF Soundwave is dull looking.

>>11452052
ha! People said we were nuts for assuming they are gonna make the well of all sparks

Though, I *wonder* if this is the mysterious 2nd commander of 2026.
2026 is also getting a leader class "unicron soldier" so it's possible the titan is Primus too, but Mark *heavily* implied we'll get a titan class battlestars Megatron in 2026

>>11451773
Tooner is a term a sad tfg fag invented and keeps trying to push to little success. You can tell who he is because of the internet tough guy tone he always writes in and because these threads have like 15 different ppl tops.

Mini-grail acquired

idea:

Titan Primus would, at best, be half the size of haslab unicron

buuuuut

what if: They release 2, a star convoy sized titan Primus ($150) and a commander class moonbase transformer ($90) which, if you buy 2 (moonbase 1 and 2) they can combine WITH Primus, to be something much closer to haslab unicron scale, at a $330 price point. And then the next year they release a titan armada unicron, so if you just want a primus and unicron, and don't have haslab, you're still set.

>tfw the time I actually got the “we have Optimus Prime at home” line
>never saw him again, ever
Actually for like 10-20 years I thought the combat heroes figures were unreleased and I dreamed them. Finally he is mine! I am so enamored with this figure I immediately went and bought the only set of his rockets available online.

>>11451774
>Anybody talkin' about this yet?
i will get these because i got the blue grimlock and i want all big dinobots.
Because i missed the normal ones and i dont want to get the 3rd party ones

But man..i feel stupid like that meme

>sonny we have dinobots at home
>dinobots at home:

>>11452125

I have the Toxitron G2 Grimlock. With the tiger stripes. So if I get the other G2 Dinobots, my autism will bother me about the lack of blue...

I'M GONNA CONSOOOOOM
(except frame slop)

>>11452129
>no two packs

>>11452129
Micronus is literally a frame for that minicon.

>>11452128
Just wait until they do G2 Sludge and Swoop, at least all of them were canceled decos, so they’d fit a bit better together

>>11452134

Tempting, I must admit. But maybe not 100 bucks tempting.

What are the odds the Amazon stuff goes on sale at some point? Or will they just sell out and never get more. Again.

>>11452136
those Amazon two packs tend to last a while. The IDW and Insecticon ones are still in stock.

>>11452138
I hope so. I still have nightmares of trying to get that Earthrise two pack of Ironhide and Prowl.

>>11452138
I’m shocked the Insecticon one hasn’t gone on sale yet. Must be selling pretty well

>>11452141
I think I have seen it go on sale on prime day

>>11452125
Same man I feel like a little g2 cucky
At least the dinobots feel more unique in a pretty color instead of the grey

>>11452140
At this point I’m just waiting for them to sell Prowl on his own. They’re still using the mold given Smokescreen is getting a new toy next year, so it’s just a matter of time.

Ugh, do I really wanna pay 75 bucks for Slugslinger?

Finally a figure for the average Transformer fan!

>>11451381
this looks BADASS
this is like Shadow the Hedgehog of transformers

/tfg/ is actually a Mark Maher fanclub and only cares about / discusses the newest figure. Only. The previous wave may as well be G2. /toy/ as a whole is a real flavor of the month hypebeast. Partially due to the gorilla marketing that occurs here.

G2 2 Pack already sold out. Was that only on hasbro?

>>11452223
i like g2!

>>11452248
oh yeah that won't motivate goanon to keep making multiple threads
it's not like he made two during the duration of the previous one because he was so incensed someone else actually got the entire OP copypasta in

>>11452260
>tfw you realize that your childhood copies of the AquaSpeeders are actually top-tier condition compared to the average
Some of them have the color change paint completely gone, even sealed in the package. I have Gobot’s gun out for delivery and finally they will all be whole again!

>>11452223
>>11452260
G2 was the line that was going on when I first started getting into transformers as a kid. The decepticon auto rollers, cyberjets, and manta ray were some of the of my first transformers ever. Unfortunately I've only got dirtbag and roadblock left from the g2 days.

There's just not a ton of reason to talk about the old stuff and unlike old movies or games you can't just pirate that stuff and discuss it. It can be a little harder to get your hands on a lot of the older stuff if you even know what to look for in the first place.

At the very least I just wish people would post more pictures of their own transformers in these threads regardless of whether they're new or old.

I haven’t bought any TR’s in years (last was around Kingdom). They broke me with Venin. I had the original and loved it even though it was a non show character but it was such well done design and this new one is perfect,

>>11452276
Very thoughtful post anon. You make a lot of sense.
>hard to get your hands on
You can say that again. A lot of G2 stuff is massively drying up. The rarer stuff, theres usually only a few copies to choose from at any given moment. And furthermore your options are basically choose between completely trashed or new sealed. Mirin’ your collection anon, I really need Black Zarak. Hes on my short list

>>11452261
I really don't understand the motivation for leaving it out
Near every other general on /toy/ has a copypasta, much more extensive than /tfg/'s, and yet only here gets stunk up over trying to bring a minimum quality to the biggest thread on the board

>>11452146

>I really don't understand the motivation for leaving it out
He's stated before that he hates generals and prefers the mindlessness of just dumping whatever with no real structure; part of his psycho manifesto back when he first started 'punishing' us was that it was his intent to destroy the concept of Generals, period. When people refused to go along with it and other anons kept beating him to the punch with making new threads, he started vandalizing the pastebins and making multiple new threads early; when the "Page 9 or 10 or image limit" caveat was added to prevent people from flocking to his spam threads, he started omitting that line of text and the copypastas while flooding the catalog with his own threads that he continually kept bumped to lure people who don't understand how to use the Search function in.
Overall, this has been an evolution that has been unfolding over the past few years - but at least it makes it easy to spot his fake threads.
By the way, this is one of the premature ones; the real thread is here >>11451536, so stop giving him what he wants by posting here; if you MUST respond to something, sage it so the thread slides off the catalog.

Omnibots are the only 85 add-on members that don't have modern figures at this point

>Micronus's exo-suit is a modular
>Pretenders were mentioned

>>11452363
Modern TF lore has Shockwave be the one who created the Insecticons, as part of an experiment program to create beast formers (see also SW kidnapping the Dinobots and giving them their dino modes)

>>11452446
That would be based

>>11452451
Those are over a decade old. Most recent depictions have them as just naturally occurring guys.

>>11452446
So would those guys just be a three pack of questionable recolors of Earthrise cars?

>>11452446
You’re right. Because even Bumper has you now.

>>11452455
It’s hard to say. The Omnibots main gimmick is that they have a third weaponized mode that other molds, except Tracks, don’t have so they’d at least have to be retools

it's unreasonable to expect correct greek pronunciations, because due to the importance of things named in it, there's like a dozen different 'standard' pronuncations going back for millennia. even within Greece.
Fun fact, while we all argue about how, if you understand word roots and how suffixes work, the plural of octopus is octopodes, but if you ask a Grecian today and held up a bucket of them, he'd call them ~khtopodi~

in any case, if there is a correct form of Χίμαιρα, it's kee-mye-ra. meaning NONE of us are saying it properly.

Meh. Love the G1 of him to pieces.
Cons:
--clear amber gut. Why.
--HUGE forearm gap where G1 was solid.
--ugly hinges aside feet.
--little tiny baby toes.
--they SOMEHOW made his wing joints not just "still" in the way of his arms, but it almost looks worse now.
--Though promo images, looks like there's a very vivid lack of greens used being in synch with each other.
PROS:
--like that the chest accents are "raised" now, not just a paint job where 95% of them on the after-market have a scratch going through them.
--better posing?

I was going to say the G1 Elita female team and Devcon but then I remembered they have figures now too.

What's the point of telling stories, talking about your life, posting pics on 4chan when you come back a day later and the shit's just archived away or completely 404'd. It's fucking stupid, the time I've personally wasted trying to have discussions or entertain like-minded people on this site. Gay as fuck. It really is the killing blow to this being a happier site worth participating on over others. Sad when FACEBOOK has more retention for people to interact / image references so people don't have to keep wasting time reuploading, re-describing EVERYTHING over and over in threads that just get killed.

I've seen the hearse discussion a few times and it's always been very similar

almost as if it's been

re-hearsed

>>11452546
yes yes the liberal big government public school system is designed to make kids dumber and easier to control, but that was true in my day too, they still taught us phonics.

see, part of their whole deal is "Everyone from the past is an idiot" so they would brag about how much better their current systems are and how kids should listen to them, not their parents.

so it's bizarre they would bring back whole word reading, when for once, their new version actually was superior to the classic days.

Wasn't planning to pick up any of the Primes besides Megatronus (I don't really like the thirteen as a concept), but I'm tempted to get Alpha Trion on the off chance they do an upgrade kit for him that gives him the full beard.

just got solus prime, anyone know a fix for the arm panels popping off?

>>11452918
you think they'll do an upgrade kit for onyx? make him look less stupid?

>>11452918
Do you have the SDCC Alpha Trion and Orion Pax set? I think headswapping would be enough, since they're both Voyagers (the Scourge mold is Voyager scale, so I can't see why it might not be a possibility except for the beard).
