Laser Cat making an SD BW Megs

I love Dr Wu but this isn't really gonna match everything else they've made huh

FT menasor teaser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR33uxc7neI

>>11473884 (OP)
I think Swerve might be the only case in which the original G1 design does absolutely nothing for me compared to his IDW design.

>>11473989
technically Micromaster-sized.

>>11473990
Man, that OX mode does look fantastic

These dinobots redpilled me on legends scale I love them

>>11474025
My only regret is I couldn't get a different color sludge
I got this David recently and I bought a newage prowl off a friend that's in transit

>>11473989
True but I think if it's about the size of Newage Optimus or Magnus when combined
Or a Deluxe Former then it'll probably look great
I see it easily replacing my KO DX9 Hulkie I got

>>11474041
I mean, have you not seen a micromaster combiner before?

Vortex somehow ended up in the building across from mine due to the stupid way Amazon is doing their deliveries now, but I got him. I'll take some pics later once he's out of the box.

>>11474078
you too ended up in the wrong thread

>>11474085

So I did. Whoops, my bad.

>>11474048
Probably but can't name one off the top of my head

>>11474006
>I think I might be a homosexual for a wholesome little boy from a idw meme

faggot

>>11474199
You are a pedo Athena.

>>11474048
Kinda sucks that there are many 3p swimsuit combiners but none of the six teams.

>>11474231
sounds like a crunchy little kino

>>11474231
Huh?
What do you think Hephaestus is?

>>11474251
Another Devastator? I'm referring to the Micromaster combiners with the Six- prefix.

>>11474238
Pedo

>>11474272
a couple of Hachi Chachis, or a coomeroo as I like to do kek

>>11474275
Pedo.

>>11473936
That dinosaur head looks so good, those scales look more defined than even the Kingdom version. Really sad how few Beast Wars 3P there are that aren't mechanical stylized.

KO SS 86 Prime is solid as fuck. All the accessories Hasblo will never ever release on their own because they're cheap jews.

The only extra that was missing was a rocket backpack, but I've seen it sold as part of an extras pack separately on Aliexpress. Not sure it's worth another 30 bucks though desu.

>>11474714
this isn't the one witht he Megatron arm and starscream costume bits right?

>>11474803
you tell me, hasbro

>>11474714
did they make the axe and energy effects hard plastic?

>>11474714
I know you're gonna pose him stanced up with that Gorehowl right?
I was eyeing him. This the MD-005?
I see the NewBee set is up on ShowZ too
https://showzstore.com/new-bee-factory-nb-01-energy-universe-the-killing-arm-upgrade-kits-for-transformers-ss86-op_p7155.html

>>11474891
yeah hard and clear, basically miniature MP versions

>>11474909
I'll do you better than Gorehowl

>>11474714
Is this the AS or MD?

>>11475041
MD

Praying MD produces the colored variants, I've heard the AS variants were not as great quality as MD makes, from the Aliexpress merchants

>>11474025
I've got the NA marvel colors grimlock and I was wondering if the later recolours had any retooling, so the dino legs can bend like a humans and the arms have added swivels, would make him perfect for me.

Wondering the same for the NA seeker mold, got the SG starscream and I was hoping the engines were a bit elongated on later releases as on this guy they're a bit short as heels leading to him having balance issues.

I'm a little annoyed that it's another retool of the Dreadwind mold but I'm still pretty excited. They did a pretty good job on the wings.

I'm curious how far they will be able to go with these G2 repaints. The only Predators missing are Falcon and Skyquake. Falcon should be easy but I'm curious what mold it could use for Skyquake. Maybe the Armada Tidal Wave mold?

>>11476741
It’s missing the front wings though

>>11476748
Yeah, I know. None of these G2 repaints were ever going to be perfect replicas of the original toys. It's amazing that Fans Hobby is even trying.

>>11476754
I’m looking forward to NA version of Scorch and hope they get around to doing the rest

>>11476754
They only make them because of the TCP sponsorship, you know.

>>11476774
Same. I wasn't very happy with Fans Hobby's Boss. I think Newage could do better.

How are MechFanstoys triple changers?

>>11476741
This will have a nonexistent 3P showcase right?

>>11476916
I'm sure they'll offer an update on their G2 tank Megatron. They announced last year that they had resurrected the project. I'm hoping this leads them to revisit their long abandoned Roadbuster.

>>11476900
Springer is great, others are average but they all do kinda fill a niche. All of them have heel issues too.

>>11476806
I'm kinda amazed TCP can even afford them. It feels like they were big for a few years, then everyone just dropped them.

>>11476944
How's the reception of their Metalhawk? Don't really see anything that would be more important besides rounding out the Masterforce with the other Pretenders or Powermasters. Maybe Armada Starscream

>>11477101
I have no idea. I'm interested in it but I usually only buy repaints of their figures.

>>11477128
God I've been dying for the other four. Same with those Not-Magic Square Trainbots.

>>11477165
It’s not magic square
It’s another company that uses their factory

>>11477128
Lightspeed looks fantastic if you’ve seen him yet

>packaged in bot mode
Thank you FT!

>>11477287
I wonder, what’s the point in getting transforming figures if you don’t want to transform them?

>>11477287
When has FT ever packaged a robot in vehicle?

>>11477415
nta, but while I don't really transform MP figures much, my autism also makes it so I want it as an option. I do like Transforming figures, but MP has reached levels of tedium that aren't fun for me to do often or at all sometimes.
But also having all the panels that allow them to transform makes them feel more "right" and complete to me.

>>11477415
FT aren't known for their elegant transformations. Also look at what a nightmare XTB menasors trailer was to transform.
>>11477417
Good point, but I was worried they'd pack him in trailer mode to save on packaging.

>>11477449
Surely, FT's Menasor can't be worse than XTB's. What a miserable experience that thing is.

>>11474025
>still no combiner mode

>>11478074
Just 3D print a frame

>>11478235
3D print people won't do it as long as there's a chance NA would.

He looks pretty beautiful. Not sure why he doesn't come with a trumpet. Probably a small trick to get you to the next one and the next one.

>>11478498
This is XTB BTW. Like the neat little door opening feature of the cab. Its too bad XTB quality is so hit or miss.

>>11478498
>>11478507
>XTB
It'll be dog QC on release as they all have been
Fuck XTB BUT that Cabin having an open door and seat is a cool feature
Wish the Fans Toys or MMC had that
The MMC looks cool to me but I'm aiming for FT IF I could ever fucking find it in stock anywhere under $200+

>>11478507
The constructicons have been slow and steady so far but yea I'm cautious.

>>11478518
>but I'm aiming for FT IF I could ever fucking find it in stock anywhere under $200+
Sadly, that's the world we live in now.

>>11478074
Go fuck yourself.

Custom fag here, in your opinions what would be the best body for a Megas XLR custom?

>>11478704
Oversized IF Optimal Optimus KO is pretty cheap right now.

>>11478704
>blocky
>preferably lanky
>ideally a car or truck

Maybe SS Hot Rod? Or T30 Springer? Needs to be a car that's got lanky humanoid proportions. Wish there was a bigger Sunstreaker because he'd be good with an alternate head.

>>11476741
>>11476746
A maybe from me, I've still got my Wingman unopened
Maybe getting a partner would tip me over into actually cracking him open

>>11478074
I figured it was a colossal meme and retardation
But I secretly hopium dreamed for a Paddles that would become the Torso or something

>>11478704
Newage windcharger head with a gunpla body

>>11478498
That die-cast or just vac metal?

>>11478827
Actually scratch that
Get the FT KO Acoustic Wave, that would work pretty well

>>11478507
Can this actually swivel? It doesn't look like it

>>11478704
Such an ugly design.

>>11477287
How does this hutz dude have Deadend already?

>>11478074
Wait on Cang

>>11479111
What a raped take.

I got the Robot Toys Scorpinok in. His beast and robot modes are pretty good all told! The cartoony angry eyebrows are pretty funny, but accurate to the show. They included an alt head and claws too. One set of claws is larger, one smaller, and the heads differ from a toon accurate one and a more stylized head with jaw articulation.

>>11480023
I love that guy. He's everything you could possibly want from a Masterpiece BW Scorponok. The only tricky thing about his transformation to robot mode is lining up all the scorpion legs just right.

>>11480030
I know, right! I haven't put him back to robot mode just yet, but the plastic origami of the scorpion legs is a little daunting. One bit of praise I have for the figure that hasn't already been stated is the plastic quality. It's top notch! I remember buying a few transart figures and being really disappointed with the feel, like it was extremely cheap and fragile. Conversely, Robot Toys are using pretty good materials. All of the ratchet joints feel solid, and the swivels are smooth. The body construction and transformation struts all feel durable as well, which is never a given on 3rd part (or even 1st part sometimes).

>>11478518
>>11478518
I swear to god - if Keith could just some how make his materials and hardware good he'd murder fanstoys overnight. The look and detail is SO FUCKING GOOD but the materials are 90% of the time complete and utter dog shit that crumble, snap, or flat out fall apart without breakage. The only XTB/KFC product I own that hasn't ever given me any issues has been their breakdown figure, which is wild to me.

>>11481416
Not really
Too many of their toys rely on a single linchpin that holds everything together

>>11481416
>he'd murder fanstoys overnight
heh, not possible. FT simply engineers superior figures. Competition is good but there will always be the inferior.

>>11481416

XTB's stuff is like 10% away from phenomenal but there is always some ungody fuckup that knocks them down a few tiers. It's either some fragile loadbearing part with poor tolerance, nightmare engineering, or a phoned finish that needed one more pass to stick the landing.

Their Constructicons so far seem to actually be their best work in a long time but they have like 4 more dudes and a frame to go before they are in the clear.

>>11481621
I think their constructicons will be decent looking individually

>>11481416
It's incredibly frustrating being a Masterpiece collector, who likes more detailed/realistic altmodes over hard toon accuracy, XTB leans more into what I want but anytime I get one I'm just disappointed.

>>11481416
I grew to hate KFC to start with so I was instantly against X-Transbots releases
then I had to watch release after release have some dramatic flaw and QC issue. He just shouldn't be releasing product if they can't fix this shit
At that point he KNOWS it's a turd and has issues and is knowingly scamming people

I liked XTB Cosmos and Seaspray.
Then I got their Trailbreaker reissue and ew.

I honestly thought XTB were turning things around when they were releasing their stunticons. The quality was good and the transformations were pleasant. Unfortunately, they dropped the ball at the end with the designer quitting over some drama that happened ( I can't remember the exact details). Which resulted in the trailers release being pushed back a year having to redesign it from scratch and adding a base mode no one asked for.

>>11482142
I thought XTB hit their stride with Commander Stack and then they fucked up his arm screw / ratchet issue, but fixed it on the reissue.

Seems they can't escape some critical flaw on even their best releases. Who is to blame? Factory QC or bad design?

>>11481934
I got the Police repaint of their Skids, it wasn't terrible and had some decent points to it but then the dashboard and the seats started falling out because they're just glued in place

>>11481456
Yeah - that's where hardware comes in. If the pins were made of steel and not pot metal tissue paper hopes and dreams they'd work.

>>11481538
Yeah, because they use better materials. FT is often horribly engineered, and break themselves occasionally. Remember FT Sheridan and the self breaking shoulders?

>>11482263
>Sheridan
correct, but FT provided correct screws for those and they do of course have occasional problems but on the whole they are insignificant and not the norm. XTB has great ideas, ambitious release schedules but QC is almost invariably a problem with nearly every single release.

>>11482263
don't forget FT hoodlum who was shipped in robot mode which always scratched the alt mode hood in his chest.

https://weibo.com/2352651453/PzNAW9ZZk
Dr Wu's reissue of cassette drones come with tiny kits for tiny Rumble/Frenzy, but I already have the original versions, ouch.

>>11482263
>that's where hardware comes in
No, that’s where engineering comes in

>>11482264
XTB has great designs
But they’ll make everything have an interior at the complete detriment to the figure

>>11482286
>Dr.Wu posted a pic of Abominus

Micromaster Abominus incoming???

>>11482520
hes just messing with their chinese AIslop generator.

My G1 Arcee arrived. I'm very happy with her. She is has a lot of charisma

It is either g2 3rd party figures or movie figures for me.
I saw UT prototyping Stinger let's hope this one actually comes out.

Wu and Mechanic's Broadside is quite alright. Like Magic Square but with less folding panels. Tempted to pick up the other two versions.

>>11483561
this makes me dread Hasbro every doing another Broadside because the tooner designs for him are so ugly but the toy colors are perfection. If they do one I hope it's a Sandstorm thing where they make the toon version the exclusive.

>>11484048
You know Lionel Hutz was a conman, right? Not very bright to give yourself that moniker and expect anyone to have any trust in you.

>>11484057
You alright anon?
You sound a bit schizo

>>11484060
based upon what retard, everything I just told you fits

>>11483561
Please tell me his knees don't have less than 90° bend like the previews make it seem

>>11484068
unfortunately it's 85

>>11484057
How did you know that's them anyway? Doesn't he steal photos from elsewhere and pass it on as his own?

>>11484083
Who else would it be. If you're aware of what he does then it only makes it even more probably it's this Hutz Simpson's Character charading as a facebook used car salesman.

The pic came from the TFW thread which was on a FB account. Now please stop.

And?
Why do you think I said you’re a schizo
It’s a fucking picture

>>11484145
>"That's not real, You're a schizo"
>Backpedals it to now "Yea that's what I meant"
>Still labels us schizo

You're retarded
Just accept that anon rightfully stated the picture source was some Lionel Hutz Guy

>>11484146
No anon, you acting schizo about him taking a picture is why you’re a schizo

>>11484148
you outed yourself hutz.

>random mindbroken bringing up some literal who who I have never heard of before
Seems like the rodent, anyways have that 3p Bumper

Idk where else to post them really but I got some Metal Cardbots recently, these things are unreasonably good for how cheap they are on Ali.

>>11484188
I actually don't think so, think it's just some actual schizo, but he's been more active recently so it'll probably set him off.

>>11484307

Newage Sunstreaker is nice. I'm debating if I wanna pay off the Cordon still but how often do we even get Cordon?

>>11484307
someone was trying to make a general for korean bots but it died >>11455956

sooo, TFC is this weekend. Any hopes or expectations?

Another TFcon exclusive just dropped

I think the show is this weekend, who is going I want this.

>>11485172
geelmon is a misspelled digimon

>>11485172
perhaps it's really just not funny, even if it's meant to be a mock up

millenials / zoomers are truly a waste of air

>>11484791
Shame desu, they're pretty great and I wish they had more presence here in the west.

>>11485437
The archived thread linked has the American distributor's plans for MCB they presented at botcon and it's not looking good since the toyline will not be at physical retail.

>>11485173
I think it's Gee1Mon (as in G1)

One of the founders of Hasbro passed away

>>11485548
good, he left a cheap toy company behind that is moving away from toys altogether

>>11485550
I am sure your legacy is way better than his

>>11485552
It absolutely is.

>>11485553
No one posting on 4chan is of any quality to society and I will admit that

>>11485554
This is unfortunately what you tell yourself in order to continue living; believing we're all as worthless as you.

>>11485548
So Hasbro TFs are also 3rd Party now

>>11485041
I'm not going to tfcon but I'd pick those up if I could.

The second TFCon exclusive this year
It's looking more and more like I won't get another combaticon

>>11485783

Guess again fagerino

>>11486450
I love it when I'm wrong

>>11477287
>packaged in bot mode
Again I ask, why even bother making the combiner kibble transform into a trailer? Motor Master didn't need a trailer extension and non-transforming kibble would be infinitely more stable in the one mode it's going to spend 99% of its time in.

>>11486778
>why
Because their motormaster is fucking great, what’s wrong with two trailers on a truck?

>>11486778
Because you have whiny autist that can't fathom putting extra parts away. They MUST do something.

>>11486906
The OX mode looks way better imo, but giving the option is great
The arms not looking like they’re just stuck on is fantastic too

>>11486908
holding out for the inevitable 3D printed arm and leg filler so I can keep my bots in robot mode

Is DNA's Wheelie mold any good?

>>11486926
No

>>11487055
Even when compared to Hasbro core class?

>>11486926
>Wheelie
>no functioning wheels

>>11486926
IF they improved then yea he's great
Otherwise no, My SG Wheelie that came with the Grimlock kit cracked at the hip like literally minutes after unboxing it

>>11487867
Pleeeease make this
And in Scourge colours thanks

>>11487867
Why are they calling it sicko armor?

3P panel predictions?

>>11487940

A new FT reveal to add to their backlog
MMC and XTB show progress on their new and remolded combiners
Some leftfield bullshit from Fans Hobby
Otherwise absolutely nothing of import.

Panel is 4pm EST.

>>11488008
speculation on FT news? I'm guessing they wrap up the final devastator figs and show off more of Maurader

>>11487940
nothing. the 3p panels have been dogshit for ages now

>>11488021
What? They're good.

>>11488008
>>11488014
Bumblebee or Windcharger

>>11488033
I should’ve said that’s what I want
It’ll be Defensor though

>>11488029
they are not

>>11488036
>>11488033
I'd prefer a Technobot reveal desu

>>11488048
I’m not sure if strict G1 toon technobots are that good
I’m keen to see bingotoys one

>>11487867
I thought this was MP animated wing blade and now I'm sad

>>11488057
yeah the modern take on them is interesting, less radical than cang toys though.

still im alright with a straight G1 Computron. wish FT didn't overcharge for their shit though

>>11488059
I really feel like their toon design is the weakest out of every single combiner
Individually they’re mostly cool, I’m really liking the craftsman toys one

>>11488062
I agree they look simplistic, basic even, but that's toon accuracy. It's offset by the high build and material quality however.

Video feed for the panel. hoping for a full color reveal for FT devy. i don't expect much from these anymore really.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZLXYhL2FFs

>>11488048
Congrats

>>11488208

>YEEEEEEAAAHHHH!!!
TMR's chat is full of crybabies, much like Sony himself

That's fucking grim.

>>11488221

>>11488221

Congrats

>>11488231
>another volcanicus

>>11488237
Yes

And FT saves the show...again.

>>11488244
I'm going to bet that it'll be just under 2k, before shipping

>>11488266
FoC weapons seem out of place though

>Legends Cybertron Prime
>Painted Bailan Jetfire and Nemesis
That's it, that's all I liked

>Legends Armada is called Mechanical skull toys
>Legends Cybertron is called Hammer toys

Where devil are people even going to put this thing?

Mechanical Skull is moving into interesting places.

>>11488277
How big is this?

>>11488295
About 4 feet tall

>>11488280
I hope the sword is sold separately

>>11488206
Holy shit that autistic retard near him is annoying

>>11488296
That fucking thing better pay rent if it's gonna be that big

>all this G1 MP slop
cringe

>>11488293
Legends G2 Megs and... Reverse Convoy?

>>11488270
Mate, the whole this is just going with the meme, look at how they attach, I wouldn’t worry about weapons being out of place

>>11488293
I fucking love how spindly and weird these guys look. Reminds me of Dreamwave and the 00s era of CHUG.

Only us 90's kids will get it

>>11488384
I was beginning to worry it was all going to be legends and obscenely pricy and huge G1 stuff, so I was happy to see these early on

>>11488385
Seems like they're tackling Rampage and Depth Charge regardless if Transart decides to keep on or not

>>11488387
Did transart even start tooling those molds?

>>11488387
A bit bittersweet, but after Transart's tantrum their future is uncertain. And robot toys seems off to a strong start.

>>11488388
They had some models for a few years, not sure if they ever got to tooling, but Depth charge was supposedly next.

>>11488384
>>11488385
>>11488387
>>11488389
Robot Toys are fucking goated

>>11488387
>>11488389
Are we sure Robot Toys isn't just the Transarts guy under a different name?

>>11488483
Well considering they’re different looking and coming out constantly
No.

>>11488389
>>11488387

Since they did Twrecks there is a non zero chance we will get Shokarak and Universe Depthcharge. If they do they'll be my heroes. I was that guy trying to get all Botcon and Universe 3p repaints instead of the original BW characters and transart fucked me over hard

>>11488309
Its Hero Prime! I expect people to make tank megatons but this is crazy.

>>11488509
I mean it is still only legends scale

>>11488512
at this point that's the only scale that matters. MP is fischer price tier

>>11488512
If you're the guy I was replying to you didnt even know who he was...

Does anyone know what scale the x2 girls are who come with Taiho (x transbots/your under arrest)

>>11488512
I noticed, during the presentation, that 3P "legends" scale is slowly growing to meet the shrinking hasbro deluxe class

>>11488513
I wish we got more old Classics scale, but like
>>11488538
mentions the Legends do seem to be getting bigger.

>>11488538
You think?
Did you watch the presentation?
It was mostly MP figures

I just notice a lot of the new legends projects are in the 130mm range, which is 5 inch-ish
Bigger than your classic legends

>>11488553
I don’t think so anon
10cm is the standard size
Leaders are around the 13cm

>>11488384
>>11488385
Why is Tarantulas half the size of Waspinator?

>>11488563
Because that’s a legend scale and wasp is MP

>>11488515
I’m not

>>11488694
Fuck you then.

>>11488695
Why?
I'm just saying legends scale has a lot more variety because it's less of a cost
Look at how many colours New Age figures come in, some real obscure characters too, like pic related

It's nice to see that they'll commit if they get the traction.

>>11488538
Larger scale brands like Magic Square, MFT, Jinbao were already Deluxe sizes with larger characters, particularly the Dinobots.

>shrinking hasbro deluxe class
It's not linear, Classics,T30 and cartoon lines had small deluxe too. Then Siege onward size classes became more of price-points with things like Deluxe Minibots and Leader class = Voyager size + accessories.

The majority of that is just cope that Hasbro has been selling us, and we've been allowing them to get away with it

Are these new dinobots?

Also another question regarding Newage, just got in the boxset of Devastator and it has these two little gray O shaped parts in the bag with the gun, what are they for?

>>11490340
Those are dinobots they have released. The combiner component is the only new thing here.
Also the Gray O shaped parts are hip replacements for Devastator I believe. I think it shrinks the gap between the ratchet clicks so that you have more freedom to articulate.

>>11490357
Ah, right-o. Cheers for the info.

>>11490340
It’s most likely also an Ankylosaur
You can see an extra pair of legs over the back and the shield

>>11490423
That's Grimlocks tail split up

>>11490436
Nah, his tails clearly still in one piece on the back
His legs don’t look like that

>>11490155

MMC Ruination guys to throw down with Omega Prime with Fanshobby Archenemy
I keep waffling on tracking down RP Acoustic Wave
I think I'm out on Legends as I can't keep up.

>>11490546
It feels like it's too small a space for 2 Dinobots in the Chest area
The Dinobots are pretty big

>>11490627
Well Volcanicus is huge
So the 6th dinobot will also probably be big

>>11490582
I guess he’ll go well with Carnifex
They better make it in all the colours

86 is the new MP10

>>11490672
I wonder if it will have a robot mode or just be a Dino, nice improvement over Devastator who has nothing to do outside of combined mode.

Picked up Newage Soundwave.

Goddamn he could do with a new mold.

Is tfw2005 dead?

>>11490820
That mold is highway robbery at this point. Blaster absolutely fucking slaughters it and it's just not even funny.
And I don't even think it was ever good to begin with either.

Between these two the perfect scavenger exist. I feel sorry for those that invested in XTB defensor though. They have to wait while XTB gets into a pissing contest with FT.

>>11491576
>Buying XTB at all
Lol
Lmao even

>>11491576
>>11491649
>Didnt get their perfect Scavenger years ago
Pays to be a Bayos fan.

>>11491576
I gotta be honest, FT really fucked this one up. He's so fucking fat with really unnecessary engineering and ugly gaps because of the way they did the combined arm, MMC has fully integrated shit and still looks better.

>>11491666
FT seems to be designed purely as Devastator at the detriment of all other modes
And it will probably look the best as far as that is concerned

>>11491664
Devil Savior is perfection

>>11491417
I always get butthurt seeing the toy version renders vs in hand photos. Dude looks metallic blue when really its just glossy blue plastic. I would kill for one of those shitty electroplated versions at this point. Legends is really starved for good non-toon Soundwaves, theres IF but that one doesn't even have tapes.

>>11491734
IF isn't even a passable Soundwave unless you're a shelffag and don't ever transform your figures. The vehicle mode doesn't even peg together and the cassette player mode is an afterthought at best.

>>11491737
>IF
>transformation engineering
lol, LMAO

>>11485041
If they weren't fucking cowards, they would make actual Charizard, Blastoise, and Pikachu altmode robots.

>>11491666
I really like the way they handled the legs on this figure

>>11492291
I too also enjoy it when a company attempts to excel in engineering feats because they actually respect their customer's intelligence instead of making shitty fucking bricks with the sole purpose of gluing onto a frame.

>>11491676
I've no intention of buying them but I am following the FT releases out of a curious fascination for how they work

>>11492454
As are most people for all of these Devastators honestly
I think all of them have issues in some way or another

>>11491666
They just did it for fist storage. Its has nothing to do with the arm mode. Its goes back to what I said last thread were some people can't handle putting the extra pieces in a drawer and FT decided to cater to that finge minority.

What do you do when you're running out of shit you actually like buying? I think I might just sell some of my jobbers and get FT Menasor.

>>11492587
>What do you do when you're running out of shit you actually like buying?
Go home and be a family man.

>>11492602
I'm a lot younger than most mp collectors lol

>>11492587
He does look really good

>>11492587
Legends will probably keep me occupied for the rest of my life.

>>11492669
My legends collection is in a slump. I don't care for MPs so NA and MS are not for me. IF's samurai aesthetic doesn't hit me. I don't like swimsuit combiners either so i'm passing on IF Liokaiser and Craftsman Computron too. All I've been getting lately are one-off KOs like JD01 and Yuexing's fruity OCs.

>>11492751
Craftsman toys is not a swimsuit combiner, it just has pants, as they all should if you want decent posing

>>11492921
Sorry, I meant swimming-trunks-combiner

I was on the fence about the Toys Star G1 Scorponok until I saw this. I'm definitely buying their Scorponok to hopefully ensure that this Black Zarak is released.

Where the fuck is the legends energon representation. Those powerlinx combiners deserve a remake.

>>11493105
dw, 1st run of Scorpy (3000 units) sold out and Black Zarak is already locked in. The one not set yet is Zazorigun, from Exkaiser.

Would be neat to have a whole line of non-shit mix and match duo combiners but I would expect someone would do a Landcross well before we ever reach that point.

>>11494968
There's a handful of lines in the past few years with mix-and-match duocons, just not of TF characters
>Tomica Earth Grannar
>Quantum Squad Dinoster
>Glory Alliance 3 and 4

>>11494905
Oh wow, that's obscure as hell. Looks like he never got a toy before. I wish someone would do the same with Red Geist, the Deathsaurus remold from the Brave Series.

>>11494905
Oh, I didn’t think they’d actually do him, nice

>>11495126
G1 show characters up to Masterforce are quite safe when Mainland China 3P/KOs are concerned.

>>11495718
>>11495719
Shame they're like $1.4k each

>>11495720
I've been buying the stunticons on release and I'll say that 1.4k at least doesn't feel that bad spread over 6 fucking years

Waist articulation. User said you can get more swivel if you use the abcrunch.
>>11495727
Yeah, I've been on board since Motormaster released. Crazy how long this took to come out.

>10lbs
Crazy. I was dusting shelves the other day I picked up breakdown (in his altmode) to clean him off and I forgot how heavy he was and wondered how heavy menasor himself was going to be.

>>11495749
Probably much lighter without motormaster though

>>11492751
sucks to be you

am i crazy or did Craftsman announce they were doing an abominus

>>11496618
No, you’re not crazy, they are

>>11496725
Forgot pic

>>11496736
Hmm not that into the greebling but it's got a TFC kind of look to it so I can accept it. Not like we're getting a better one any time soon and what I have of their Computron is really good. I only have the TFC Blot because besides Hun-Gurr Blot's my favorite and he has kind of a Nidoking/Baragon thing. Always loved the clear plastic on these guys. Really adds a splash of color

>>11496914
Yeah typically if you were to only get one terrorcon, Blot is the strongest choice in pretty much any given set

>>11496914
I think that’s a Gerwalk mode
Not quite bot or shark

>>11496941
yeah I'm sure >>11496736 is a gershark(?) mode. It's cool that you can deploy the head in robot mode, and I think you can in the TFC one too. My favorite feature of Blot is that you can choose to deploy his beast mode claws in robot mode as a battle mode, which is always fun.

>>11496947
It’s kind of funny how Blot is now everyone’s favourite terrorcon

I usually don’t care at all about OSKOs, but this Strafe does look nice

>>11498000
There was always something about the chest sculpt on these Strafe KOs that made them look cheap. Dead eyes with no LEDs is lame too.

Newage Hoist and Craftsman Toy's pushing out two more limbs makes it a great month for me.

Should I even bother with a new thread?

>>11501912
Yes

>>11502097
Magic Square?

>>11502171
Newage I just forget to smooth it every single time till instances like this where somebody points it out lol
