Im just happy i got Bonecrusher. What lego has to do with anything

>>11491112
>I guess my question is if you have the CW ones (and the add ons for better articulation) is there any reason to get these? Long Haul looks better but the rest look like just smaller retreads.
No i dont think there is a reason to get these.
CW devastator is absolutely huge and epic.

But i never got him and now i will never will. So im glad to have the new pack.
it's slightly smaller and smipler but pretty solid and epic i think

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/327454

I recall one of the leaks said we were getting an SS86 Windcharger? Hope he's good, I always had a soft spot for him even if he was a total D-lister. Also I really hope they do the car mode justice.
Also obligatory:

>>11491146
he's definitely a d-lister but easily one of the scariest autobots. I mean, he has magnetic powers. he could just crush any decepticon he fought.

>>11491161
Yeah, and he's done it in the comics.
I like to think he got killed in the movie because he was one of the Decepticons' highest priority targets.

>>11491161
The powers are stupid if you read the bios. All of the seekers have powers that would kill any foe or end the world. Also megatron can apparently destroy the universe or something

Geez what an autismo

>>11491216
he does this every thread and has done it for years. If he doesn't get to make the OP he throws a tantrum and spams additional "real threads"

On a more Transformers related note, I scored Selects Cordon for like £30. Looking forwards to him, he looks cool (and also I am a sucker for police 'bots).

Is this worth it? $40 total with the 30% off

>>11491352
Pax is okay and Shockwave is the best version of that mold so yeah.

>>11491146
What accessory would Windcharger come with, did he ever use a gun?

>>11491401
>What accessory would Windcharger come with, did he ever use a gun?

He had a gun and he had his magnet apparatus that came out of his arm as seen in the Ultimate Doom.

But it's nice to see that us Windcharger fans are finally getting something with not only SS86 next year but FansToys showing off their take on Windcharger.

Damn you all. I had no interest in Star Convoy until people here started likening his base mode to a 90s toy playset and now I kind of want him.

>>11491685
That's not really worth how much Star Convoy costs though.

What other combiners we getting?
will we get weird beast combiners like Predaking or Abominus? i dont care if they will be frames - i want an updated version

>>11491796

That's what I've heard from everyone and it puts me in the classic collector's conundrum with it: play chicken and wait for it to go on sale, or watch it go out of stock and pay the late tax. I think I'll just keep an eye on it for now and focus on the other Primes.

>>11491130
this is a very good video about Devastator toys and why Studio series is the best one: https://youtu.be/wq7EAGxMZao

So I am the guy who got this Star convoy

My replacement finally came it and I want to post images

>Why did it take so long

I was not in a rush and I was literally out of the country for a week last week so I waited a while before asking for update

Hey look on the bright side I got a replacement within a month
My robot damashii GM2 got 2 right feet covers and the same seller (as my star convey) told me to wait at least 6 month for replacement from Bandai because that is just how Bandai rolls

Here is the new replacement figure

As you can see paint job is excellent as it should be.

Is it really so hard to ask the people in charge of the general QC to spend a bit time to ensure you don't have major paint damage before the next assembly step?

>>11491813
Im just having too much fin with just one first cheap (as as some people say the worst?) transformer in devastator line...

Damn i can't imagine the amount of fun i will get after gettin all of them and after combining them
PS:
I do think that bonecrusher is fun. because his size allows to do most of stuff with accessories and he has fun looking legs
It's so rare to see a transformer with just "human-like legs" instead of a robot wearing giant boots

There is something so vintage/retro about this toy. Maybe its because legs remind of me old japanese robots

>>11491845
I like him a lot more than I thought I would. I was expecting to be very cold on him but I can't put him down. I'm hoping the DNA upgrade is good, 'cuz even aside from the articulation improvement it looks like it does a lot for his overall silhouette. Not interested in using the booties but I've got it on preorder.
I do wish his bulldozer mode looked a bit more like a real bulldozer (no support rods between the blade and the tracks and there's nowhere for a driver to sit) but at the very least the sculpting is nice. The tracks are very nicely detailed and I like the engine.
I will say, if I could design and produce a 3P figure set (and be certain it'd come out solid) I'd probably do a Siege-styled Cybertronian Devastator. I really enjoyed Siege's look myself and I think the industrial sci-fi vibe combined with the light weathering would suit them very well.

Not going to do a in-depth review here or anything, just some quick comments

Yes. I can see why people are disappointed with this.

It is not badly designed or anything but I feel like you're just paying slightly less for Titan figure yet you have all the cons of a Titan figure without getting the pros of a Titan figure

The limbs are hard to move like a titan figure
Parts do not secure too tightly due to the size like a titan figure
transformation is really basic just like a titan figure

But you don't get the shelf present like your typical titans- something I think a lot titan collectors wanted more than anything

This being a playset seems to the top priority so the bot mode feels like it is just covering the basic and nothing more. I wish they have front and back movement with the feet along with the sideway movement. The thing is big enough to do both. The one piece crotch cover is also lazy.

For the price, they can probably sweeten the deal by having a second carrier truck but they didn't. So in the end you got something that is like 8/10 but the price they are asking it really should be a least 9.5

>But hot rod

He should be a micro master so star convey itself can be a commander class. A lot of problems mentioned wouldn't be an issue if the figure is just smaller and more compact.

>>11491845
wrong image
i think Bonecrusher using Witwicky as a skateboard is more hilarious
>>11491858
It's a weird case of liking a figure for sure...i like most of stuff about Bonecrusher (except short ball jointed arms).
i like how his design looks like German/Russian brutalist blocky authoritarian architecture (kek that's a lot to desrribe a toy based on 80s cartoon)

Nu Six-liner and Grandeus to go along with Star convoy?

>>11491799

>>11491130
>>11491813

The more I get the more I'm not really liking SS86 Devastator

Updated leader class crumplezone when?

>>11491114 (OP)
I had no idea Misfire is so expensive... i left my country and left Misfire and other CW-TR-PoTP era transformers in my old place.
I bought Misfire for 7 bucks and it was just 7 bucks back then and i was seeing him all the time...

Now i really miss him and hope we will get an updated version of him...
why it's expensive? was it poorly distributed in states?

I WANT MISFIRE!!!

>>11492156
Why would he be a leader class? He isn't complex and was just a voyager class the first time around.

>>11492193
For every case there was 1 packed. Plus a great colour

>>11492237
Damn. i sure hope we will get another one.
Honestly i miss most of my transformers of that era. These two dinobots too.
I ended up getting another two of these so combiner was made of triceratops and pteranodon parts only

>>11492214
Because due to shrinkflation his toy is now leader size

>>11492041
I always thought that CW-devastator looked kinda hollow and cheap looking.

>>11492156
I was recently thinking about UT updates and ultimately it feels pointless. My biggest want would be Energon Landmine but realistically what would a new version actually offer? Wrist swivels and maybe the transformation could be reworked to include a waist joint but the plastic quality would obviously be worse and it would be far more hollow, would probably lose the god tier lightpiping, all of the ratchet joints and the missile launcher. The hook could probably be kept but it would likely need to be manually retracted, like with Legacy Sandstorm. The original even has faux-ankle tilts.

>>11492193
>left Misfire and other CW-TR-PoTP era transformers in my old place.
I have so many of these. I only moved city but it still sucks not to have ready access to some of your favourites. MP Inferno, Siege 3-pack Impactor, T30 Whirl, TR Triggerhappy, Topspin & Twin Twist, TR Six Shot and Overlord, G2 Dreadwing & Smokescreen, SS86 Hot Rod, Super Link Rodimus Convoy etc.

>>11492252
True but Crumplezone was the same size as Starscream in Cybertron, who’s update was a Voyager Class, so it stands to reason that a hypothetical Crumplezone update would be also.

>>11492272
damn that is a fun and creative body shape

>>11492193
>left him behind
Like, left him at your parents houss? Surely you didnt simply abandon your toys?

There’s likely a poor decepticon who shit out pure plasma because his energon smoothie was laced

>>11492388
Do cybertronians even have assholes?

>>11492412
Some sort of waste expulsion systems at least

>>11492412
Only when they have beast modes yeah.

>>11492412
They have Starscream so yes.

>>11492253
The individual robots felt like deluxes oversized to voyager.

>>11492193
Misfire and Sludgeslinger were part of the last two waves of Titans Return and had garbage distribution. What little stock that got ordered, ended up dumped at Ollies where it was gobbled up.

Misfire in particular was sought after due to the fact that at the time if his release, he was heavily featured in the IDW comic as part of a comedic relief group of Decepticons who has deserted Megatron and were having wacky adventures in the comic.

>>11492461
kek

>>11492469
It was easier for me to get the Takara releases of those two.

>>11492412
10th anniversary megatron has a cloaca slot in his rex mode where you can shove a key in.

>>11492497
i see a hinge, does that swing out to the side?

>>11492513
That looks like the firing mechanism for the missile.

Since they cost the same, which is better? 86 Devastator or NewAge Devastator?

>>11492564
I dunno, I got MS devy

>>11492564
Unironically SS86 is more expensive and the Newage is "frameslop" technically but I really like him and the Newage bots

>>11492713
Speaking of Devastators

He's a big guy

i wanted to upgrade the whole devastator gang with toyhax stickers but damn...
Maybe this time it's just ...unnecessary.

The only time i saw Toyhax really making transformer cool was Trypticon in 2016. didn't follow other their stuff after that

We need more Train bots.

>>11492807

We're gonna get that Thomas the Tank Engine collab eventually anon.

Starscream continues to be the only thing I really enjoy about Prime as I'm going through it for the first time. But shit, I actually feel kind of bad for Prime Breakdown.

LMAO Optimus is such a goofball in this: https://youtu.be/BLVhRz_FO1c

>>11492807
if they're awesome like that, hell yeah

>>11492813
really? the only thing?
well he was pretty great

>>11492815
holy crap Megatron has such a gay sugar daddy voice.

>>11492818

Maybe not the only thing. I'm liking Prime Megatron too. But this show is also trying a lot of stuff that I feel only partially succeeds for me and their take on Starscream is the only thing that's really firing on all cylinders.

>literally just a rectangle with wheels

I know what the car mode supposed to be, but still it doesn't really look like anything

Though I think maybe they can get a Omega supreme out of it with some heavy retool to become a rocket or something

>>11492762
for those concerned about parts forming with cosmos here, the shield plugs directly onto the chest, so it's likely going to be fully transformable with the shield connected. cosmos will just be fat.

>>11492762
cyberworld?

>>11492819
why are you freaks obsessed with gay porn

>>11492796
I mean, it's accurate
Just goes to show how much toy detail the cartoon erased for convenience

>>11492844
and for looking better.

>>11492844
you showing a box art with a completely different type of colors.
The toy is different. it's simple and little. Applying exact same thing to the modern figure and expecting it look good is not a good idea.

Not to mention the picture you posted is so different (purple arms/silver knees/etc.) so it's not accurate to the g1 model that much except the chest.

>>11492840
>why are you freaks obsessed with gay porn
He was asking for it. Why is he so fucking hot and has such a mesmerising voice?
duh

>>11492796
Those fucking baby arms, how did those got approved?

>>11492272
I fucking love Energon Landmine. And you're damn right, I don't think they could improve him, honestly, he's effectively already got modern articulation and he doesn't have any real design flaws or stability issues.
Now, Energon Mirage I could use an update of, the robot design is 10/10 and the altmode is great but the actual toy is a bit of a fiddly mess. A beautiful fiddly mess, mind you.

>>11492796
The chest and chrome visor stickers are nice, I'll say that.
>>11492844
>>11492858
I think if Bonecrusher had a bit more colour breakup I'd like him a lot more, even if it was just purple legs like Scavenger.

>>11492337
>Like, left him at your parents houss? Surely you didnt simply abandon your toys?
I left him at my parents house but I feel like i abandoned him.
I took lots of photos before leaving country though - picrelated is one of them - my very favorite "new" transformers box where misfire was the only deluxe class.
Idk why didn't i send him to me. (i send just Abominus in one box of stuff i sent to my new place).

>>11492895
>tfw i left him behind
bros...

>>11492895
I sure miss Trypticon as well.
probably will buy that new darker one if he still will be available on Amazon around September

>>11492897
the thing that bothers me is that i managed to get KREO-Trypticon from blind bag and it was such a nice addition to my trypticon collection.

right now it's so difficult to find him - it's always expensive and incomplete

>>11492898

>>11491196
what a based take

>>11492899

I'm hoping Hasbro makes cheapo versions of the other classic titans in cyberworld. Cyberworld trypticon would be AMAZING.

>>11492907
Oh yeah 100%. their skorponok is amazing. I assume its super easy to make a fantastic looking shiny trypticon for them. Colors alone would help them to make it work

>>11492888
>Those fucking baby arms, how did those got approved?

Looking at his tatoos I thought Bonecrusher liked dogs better.

>>11492822
Megatron is badass for sure.. i'll admit not everything in that show works, Optimus is so wooden, but I adore Ratchet. and I love seeing Bulkhead have to change from party guy to responsible guy, to keep Miko from dying.

>>11492822
imo, starscream and knockout are the best parts of prime
megatron has a lot of 'aura' but it kinda falls apart once you start to realize he fucking fails at everything constantly, even more than starscream does

>>11493369
I never watched a G1 cartoon despite being a person who was a kid around that time.

I started watching transformers when Beast Wars started (before that my TV could catch mostly weird as fuck japanese transformers like that one where some boy drives a Red (Optimus) Truck and there is a Police Car good guy).
I watched the Movie only when i hit college in the 00s and became a fan of G1 but never cared to remember all "non main character" names.

Seaspray is cool but i will never remember his name despite having his toy for years.
I also don't care that much about "characters" outside The Movie.

for example for me it's normal to have Decepticons as good guys because i don't know anything about "original intended character" so i can just put 2 different faction transformers as bros.

I dont give a fuck.
I just like cool robot toys.

Also seaspray is a stupid name (like most of G1 formers... "thing name" + "what he does")

>>11493061
nice heels, bro

>>11493377
I'm a Beast Wars kid, but when I when I was a bit older and wanted to fully get into the fandom I did my own homework and read a lot of info. Like everything that I'm passionate about I had lots of fun discovering things and absorbed data like a sponge. I reached the point of being able to talk to a G1 fan about specific characters or episodes before even watching the cartoon.

>>11493377
>Also seaspray is a stupid name (like most of G1 formers... "thing name" + "what he does")
G1? There's not a single Transformers cartoon that is free from silly descriptive names.

The goofy naming conventions are a big part of the charm to all Transformers. Even their Brave cousins maintain the same conventions, it's iconic.

>>11493377
>I started watching transformers when Beast Wars started (before that my TV could catch mostly weird as fuck japanese transformers like that one where some boy drives a Red (Optimus) Truck and there is a Police Car good guy).
The show you're talking about is Robots in Disguise, and that started after both Beast Wars and Beast machines. I guess you watched a Beast Wars rerun.

>>11493385
Transformers dying in the early nineties is one of the best things that ever happened in this franchise. Not only it gave us Brave but also forced them to make something unique to revitalize the brand. And that's how GaoGaiGar and Beast Wars, my favorite robot shows, came to be.

>>11493394
J-Decker has been better than GGG for me, if only because the cast is primarily the robots with the humans (aside from Yuta) being secondary and tertiary.

>>11493071
So Retori Seaspray is just the Titans Return Seaspray?

>>11493398
The problem I had with J-Decker is that there's not a main villain. I understand why that's the case because it's a police show, but I need a main menace behind the monsters of the week for that format to be engaging. Even recurring villains work, like in Might Gaine.

I guess you want something close to Transformers, but what I wanted is an actual Super Robot show.

>>11493400
its a new mold

>>11493384
Yeahh same. That was a fun 'wiki walk'
>seaspray is thing name plus what he does
what? no.. the seaspray is the spray from the sea.. that you make when you send a fast moving vehicle through it

>>11493389
hm.. when did beast wars ever rerun? the only major time I can think of is when abbreviated episodes were played before clips of 'kaiju big battel'

>>11493406
Ah, yeah that was the part I liked the most about J-Decker. I also like normal cop shows, so it was just a better version of those.

>>11493410
No clue, I'm European. But from what that anon said, he was watching RiD before he was even able to watch BW.

>>11493389
>The show you're talking about is Robots in Disguise, and that started after both Beast Wars and Beast machines. I guess you watched a Beast Wars rerun.
i didnt watch Beast Wars in exact year when they were released.
BW was my second. RiD was first.
>>11493384
>wanted to fully get into the fandom I did my own homework and read a lot of info.
i dont care about this autism
I just like toys. Those are stupid toys with cardboard cutout characters at the end (if we dont mean IDW comics or something like that)

>>11493394
>And that's how GaoGaiGar and Beast Wars, my favorite robot shows, came to be.
And now we can have beautiful toys like these. Good times.

>>11493413
hm, hm.
>>11493417
man it'd be neat to get rich so I could have beast wars MPs and then deal with the fragility and bad lightpiping and stuff like everyone else.

>sideways preorder got canceled
it's over

>>11493414
>i dont care about this autism
>I just like toys. Those are stupid toys with cardboard cutout characters at the end
At the end of the day you're also a nerd that buys toys as an adult so don't act like you're better than someone who likes the franchise enough to be informed.

>(if we dont mean IDW comics or something like that)
IDW is edgy trash dude.

>>11493425
yeah also he was talking about watching the show, so.. clearly he cares somewhat about the story, right?

>>11493425
>At the end of the day you're also a nerd that buys toys as an adult
You will be assblasted to know that i own 4 titan class transformers but i never watched a single episode with them and know absolutely _n o t h i n g_ about them.
To me these are just fun toys. I will tell more - im pretty sure i will ruin an image of a character if i will know about who he is in cartoon/fandom. Which will make me disappointed to own a toy of a character i don't even like.
(this why i don't own a single Starscream figure despite owning multiple Grimlocks)

>>11493426
>yeah also he was talking about watching the show, so.. clearly he cares somewhat about the story, right?
Are you retarded?
i clearly said i "watched some japanese one" and then Beast Wars as a kid.

Sure i have the whole BW main cast in toys. But that's all. Im not going full retard whining about people not knowing some shit tier character name list lmao

>>11493421
>so I could have beast wars MPs and then deal with the fragility
I own all of them and still no breakages. Then again I've always been super careful with my toys. Pic related, he's still in one piece!

>>11493432
impressive! I assume you don't transform him much anymore
of course if I got the MPs, i'd have to get the 3P one sin MP scale...

>>11493414
>i dont care about this autism
I just like toys. Those are stupid toys with cardboard cutout characters at the end (if we dont mean IDW comics or something like that)
>>11493429
>You will be assblasted to know that i own 4 titan class transformers but i never watched a single episode with them and know absolutely _n o t h i n g_ about them.

Dude, you're getting really defensive over nothing. I usually only buy toys of characters I'm invested in, but Transformers are the exception because most TF media and characterizations are pretty mediocre and I just like cool transforming robots.
So no, I don't care if you own four titans you know nothing about. I own six and two of them have zero characterization (the ships), and another one is a character I never expected to have in toy form (Megalo Convoy). Last one is Optimus but BRAVE, I don't need to read translations of The Battlestars to want it. They just look cool.

I was just talking about my experience, that's all. You do you.

>>11493423
Same, fuck Walmart.

>>11493440
>impressive! I assume you don't transform him much anymore
It's been more than fifteen years since the last time. Do you guys want me to try and see what happens?

>>11493450
Don't risk it, just pick up the JP Metals version as the one to play with

>>11493450
no. it's okay.
toys have to.. retire at some point.

>>11493423
>>11493445
Everyone's order apparently?

>>11493445
>>11493457
Keep an eye on Pulse site, managed to score one a few mins ago

>>11493457
fucking wahlbergmart

>>11493353
He's okay. I like him enough to buy the new figure.
though it's more about my OCD and getting all the minibots

>>11493334
It'll be a nice update but i want the tooner version.

>>11493112

>>11493453
I check prices once in a blue moon, but I never pull the trigger in the end. I own the vast majority of the original toys of the show characters (only missing TM2 Megatron, Tigerhawk and both Blackarachnias), but they're stored most of the time so I rarely handle them.

>>11493456
>toys have to.. retire at some point.
That's always a crushing experience for them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcjAUN5Ssj8

>>11493475
>i want the tooner version.
Same, in contrast to my toy Gears

>>11493475
I also want him so he can be best buddy with Cosmos.

>>11493066
Earthspark had some good designs anon
It was held back by a dogshit show
Here’s hoping they do a Tarantulas

>>11493417
Imagine the universe were Brave is Transformers and we got Exkaiser Convoy and Gai Convoy.

And the other universe were Hasbro localized them as Police Prime and Guy Prime

>>11493484
I want a voyager version for Generations line. He was one of my favorite BW character growing up. A tiny deluxe wouldn't do the figure justice.

>>11493373
... Seaspray isn't a swamp vehicle...

>>11493384
Optimistic main character!

>>11493484
The masked characters certainly do have some bright spots. Most of Earthsparks designs are just as dogshit as the show.

>>11493478
that's not a retirement, that's "he was one week away from retirement"

>>11493431
The creators of pokemon had a saying a while back... every pokemon is somebody's favorite. Don't deminish a character you don't know anything about, especially when you admit you don't know anything about said character. It just makes you look ignorant.

G1 is Transformers main continuity baseline. Characters from the G1 cartoon are significantly more relevant to the franchise than characters from other shows and toylines. Seaspray as a G1 cartoon character with multiple appearances and several alternate universe versions is like a C tier character in a franchise with tiers that go well beyond F in relevance.

>>11493522
somehow I don't think the keychain is anyone's favorite, but yeah.. that used to work better back when they didn't have so many of them, and gamefreak has gone so far off the deep end, they're out of the pool and in the parking lot still pretending to swim

>>11493414
THE BLOTINATOR
"OUR BLOTS SHALL BLOT OUT THE SUN"

The new Seaspray doesn't seem like a giant step up from the PotP one unless you're a big fan of him or want him in a different scale

>>11493450
>Me when I transformed my Original MP-10 I got in 2013 or so and a Front Bumper/Back part sheered off, his grill is flaking and a finger pops off
He his old but he still functions

>>11493543
even back then, things were taking a bit of a nosedive
in retrospect, I kinda regret buying the dinobots.

>>11493546
sorry uh, specifically the movie dinobots from around that time.

>>11493457
Mine is apparently just running behind and delayed??

>>11493066
This is easily the ugliest fucking Cosmos we've ever got

>>11493548
I got that delayed notification two days before they outright cancelled the order today....not looking good. And I ordered this guy the minute he appeared on the site.

>>11493554
t30 cosmos was the worst

>>11493575
You're the worst!

>>11493554
Ok m8

>>11493575
>>11493605
T30 was based

t30 cosmos was cool but a bit skinny for my tastes.

>>11493608
I think the scrounge repaint is sick, I just dont like it as a cosmos

>>11493706
Yeah,the problem with that mold is that it's too cool for Cosmos. He needs to look dumpy and adorable.

>>11493722
exactly this

>>11493725

There was the Generations one they made after.

>>11493071
i like him but the mushroom pegs on the arms look even more flimsy than usual

>>11493739
yknow given all the unique greebling on the Beast Wars show, if they ever did one like that again, I could see mushroom pegs being a visible detail..

>>11493753
cyberworld has visible ball joints

the Netflix wfc trilogy might have visible mushroom legs somewhere but I honestly could not force myself to give half a shit about the series does anyone want to go binge it and stare at cybertronian thighs and biceps to see if there's mushroom pegs for like 6 hours

>>11493765
yeah that show looks like shit
everything has looked like shit since..... god, since Prime? and even it had problems. Well I think we got a couple more okay movies after that.. kind of.

>>11493061
>ugly head sculpt thats supposed to be toy version but is not accurate

Looks alright, but I'll wait for the tooner accurate version.

>>11493384
>>11493377

Funny, both your experiences with the brand actually mirror mine. I started out as a beastie boy, but got more interested in G1 as BW started tie back to it more and more. Then one day I was over at a friend's house. His dad was one of the TF collecting weirdos we'd all eventually grow up to be and he put on The Movie for us. With all my G1 knowledge coming mainly from what was referenced in BW at that point, seeing The Movie was like...being transported to an age of myth legend. Despite only seeing it that once as a child, it left a hell of an impression and turned me into a lifelong fan. I've gone through periods of dormancy with my love for TF, but every few years it seems like something unexpectedly great comes out to rope me back in. Now here I am multiple decades later and hyped as fuck to finally have movie accurate looking versions of all these characters.

>>11491114 (OP)
I managed to find an Alchemist Prime in stores recently. Good ass figure, but I think the QC is dogshit. The instructions tell you to fold the hands all the way into the forearms, but if you do that they just pop right out and leave stress marks around the sides. This is the furthest I can get them to go. Anyone else having this issue?

>>11493768
cyberverse had some okay looking scenes but it was definitely cheap slop

earthspark had the one fight scene.

that's about it (rid2015 doesn't exist)

>>11493800

This is why I usually wait until someone posts a video walkthrough for the transformations. Fuck Hasbro's perpetually unclear instructions.

>>11493800
>>11493802
Hasbro unironically does A LOT of Design and instructionals modeled and rendered in CG shit and DOESN'T physically test these

>>11493805
it's amazing how they think you can make money without spending money
that's like thinking you can win at gambling.

>>11493389
He’s talking about Masterforce.

>>11493061
>>11493070
>>11493071
Yep, Titans Return-looking boy, alright.

>>11493808
Speaking of Japanese G1, does anyone think Star Convoy was a heavy retool of King Exkaiser? Just to remind myself that the entire tread plate of Star Convoy is where all of the electronics to fully awaken the Battlestars is entirely new, while King Exkaiser is a hollow brick that seems to coincidentally be copied by Star Convoy.

On a different note, I kept seeing people getting their SS86 Megatrons and Onyx Primes. What is going on?

>>11493831
Street dates got broken as usual. Your local distros and sellers already have pallets full of future waves in their warehouses, just waiting for Hasbro's arbitrary release date. Some either intentionally or accidentally release them early, happens all the time in Asia.

>>11493876
>happens all the time in Asia.
America

Sounds like Onyx does have rubbery plastic. Bummer, I was looking forward to it and now I'll have to pass.

>>11491114 (OP)
Watched videos about Studio Series 86 Leader Class MEGATRON
DAAAMN he looks fucking awesome.
I never had Megatron before (i wanted to get that Titans Return mold but it looked weird knowing it's just grey Blitzwing)
I don't like his tank mode but for the figure it's amazing.
I assume he will be around $60 which is also great.

>>11491685
Just look for Titans Return voyagers or leaders, or any Titan on clearance, they can do the same base mode thing

I don't know why I keep buying from Amazon. Either I get a damaged item, something is missing or the box is literally empty.

>>11493896
What are the chances of a box set of him and Prime down the line?

>>11493918
We have anniversary releases, so probably not soon.

>>11493918
Have two leader class ever been sold in one box before?

>>11493920
Literally the select g2 dinobot pack.

>>11493920
There was a box set in Japan with SS86 Starscream, Astrotrain and Blitzwing so technically three leaders in one

>>11493918
Not terribly likely, but hey, they made two Autobot corpse twopacks so everything's possible

>>11493920
Yes, Prime will only have his rifle, but they'll add a new cartoon head, meanwhile, Megatron gets pretty much everything he's missing just to piss everyone off.

>>11493918
I'll be very suprised we won't get a final battle set with battle damage deco.

>>11493935
I’m fully expecting this since the default Megatron doesn’t come with that gun which is weird because it’s so iconic

>>11493908

Now I actually want to get him because I'm going after all of the Thirteen. I was on the fence at first, but I already have Megatronus, was planning to get Solus and really like the look of Micronus, so I figure I might as well go all in. Star Convoy would be my first Titan, though I understand he's not the best representative of the class (hence the slightly reduced price). I do want to get Trypticon at some point too though.

>>11493800
It’s not QC, it’s designed that way. There’s a tab inside the forearm that stops the hand from bending any further. Fuck knows why and when they added it because it obviously wasnt on the original model.
Just pop the hands off and cut that tab.

>>11493800
You guys actually use the instructions?

>hmmm...what if i will put it there...will i also be able to play music?

bros...i can't stop playing with Bonecrusher. He's too much fun
i want every /tf/ thread to be Bonecrusher General from now on...

The new Devastator is the best thing that could happen to TF-figures community since...i dont know. Since they announced the first titan?

>contact Amazon customer support to ask a simple question about my gift card balance
>order changes from “arriving Monday” to “arriving September 23”
Dude. Fucking illiterate ass Indians. What the fuck? How does this even happen

>>11491114 (OP)
Slug was the only core class dinobot i was interested it and i see him on Amazon still.
Just found you can actuallu just buy Slug and Sludge and ignore everything else by using just Weaponizer limbs

Holy shit this looks fucking awesome. i have lots of junkion limbs. Gotta buy just 2 core dinobots and have fun

>>11493975
You tried redeeming. Rookie mistake saar.

>>11493951
If you make me buy these Constructicons, so help me I'll....

>frameshills will defend this

>>11494080
I'm enjoying him because i like autism around 1 small toy trying all kinds of stuff with it.
If you don't do that i don't know...Buying all 6 of them will be a wasteful addition that will take up some space.

I don't know what's Bonecrusher's magic. I have a lot of transformers but it's been a while when i had so much fun with just a deluxe class figure.
He's so simple and even "boring" looking (just a brick with short legs and weird human like legs) but it's so much fun.
I wonder how much more fun it will be when i will get the rest of cons
PS:
Meanwhile...Bonecrusher was......MURDERED......
Bonecrusher bros....not like this..........

>>11494109
lol nevermind Bonecrusher is a ZOMBIE now!

>>11494109
>with short legs
*short arms
He has very short arms that dont do that much...he terribly needs some sort of upgrade
But then again they make him look stubby and cute

>>11494107
that's...not good

>>11494110
Do Transformer zombies eat brains?

>>11494107
Old news. Everybody and their moms already said months ago that they wished the leg bots were more integrated instead of sticking out so much.

octane when

>>11494107
I already see years later when the new combiner comes out everybody would be making fun of these.
Don't buy these. (unless Bruticus with his reverse legs will look actually cool)

>>11494133
Also will they use the name "Octane" or something weird like Octone, Tankor or Planetruckman?

>>11494135
>I already see years later when the new combiner comes out everybody would be making fun of these
And years later new combiners would make the previous ones look like shit once again. Welcome to toy collecting, just buy what you like.

>>11494144
Nah, CW-ones are still pretty solid. And they will be remembered as "nostalgic" in the future.
CW was pretty important line in history of transformers figures. Most of people liked them.

While these frame ones were controversal and questionable from the very beginning.

>>11494198
I hate that ugly little bitch. Cover his face.

I bought Earthrise Optimus recently and i really like it
Ive never had many Transformers as a kid they where really expensive and most of the time not that good if you just get the regular stuff but ever since Siege or so Transformers look really good and i want to get more into collecting them
Should i just buy the normal Legacy and Age of Prime stuff or are there any 3rd party companies that make figures in the same size class as the Normal Hasbro stuff?
Any place i can buy them in Europe toy collecting isnt really a thing here and just getting this figure was harder than it should be

>>11494202

>>11494207
Newage Romulus is one of the few 'generations scale' third parties I can think of. it's a gun Megatron that scales well with Earthrise Optimus.

>>11493951
i'm glad you're enjoying. looks dumb as a butt to me lol but i get how toys can just be fun sometimes even when they look silly.

>>11494210
Huh, funny coincidence, I picked up TR Quake not long ago. Got him cheap at pre-owned toy store, came with a bonus Autotrooper gun-hammer for some reason. I always liked the Hardhead mold but Quake wears it even better IMO.

>>11494109

>>11493896
Why are his shins blue? On the model sheets, it's a SLIGHTLY different shade of gray, but Hasbro went full-on blue. What fucking fanart did they google as a reference? The hilarious part is that it's only going to look worse a year from now when that cheap-ass yellow-gray plastic they used just goes full yellow. Somehow Hasbro has found a way to deliver objectively worse products despite increasing prices AND untethering size from cost.

If you're gonna charge me 60 bucks for a voyager-sized figure, at least get the colors right and use good materials, lmao.

>>11494250
looks greay to me and i like a bit of color
What really gets me is the Decepticon logo
the white background makes it stick out to much and makes it look like a cheap sticker

>>11494172
Now that you mention it, yeah, I'll just wait for that

>>11494172
>Takara Dramatic Capture set in 2 years
This. They'll actually use decent paint and plastic. I'm glad the days of Takara winning have returned.

>>11494250
you are right
But knowing how many different TM86 Grimlock they made i think we will get different versions of this megs.
Megatron is way too important to release him just one time

>>11494235
Nice

>>11494265
Yeah, probably the Takara version like that other anon said. It's just insulting that despite raising prices and overcharging, Hasbro still can't help but cut corners and pinch pennies. Won't somebody please think of the shareholders?

>>11494250
they used the first image that pops up when you search "g1 megatron" which is slightly blue tone, but for some reason didn't actually make the whole thing blue tone, so we just have this awkward thing

>Walmart cancelled AotP Sonar
I can't put into words how much I hate store exclusivity deals without it being something I can literally only say here without losing whatever account I have on said site
The sheer utter and compeltely retardation, greed and disgusting shit they pull constantly with this is beyond infuriating
I literally HAVE to be buying these on JP sites if I even remotely want an ACTUAL chance at them
I swear every single fucking store exclusive I have ever pre ordered since god damn 2013 I have never got
It's ALWAYS cancelled or sells out in seconds and never goes back up and then you NEVER see them in physical stores nearly
Hasbro HAS to stop this shit because whatever intern they had before making social media posts literally quit because the comments were them entirely getting ass blasted inside out by angry people
Now half the social media posts are some generic post or locked comments

>>11494276
The funniest part is that either color error would have been acceptable on its own, but instead they took a character who is supposed to be uniformly gray for the most part, and tinted his top half red and his bottom half blue. And why the hell are all the black/dark gray parts brownish? They fucked up literally everything, lmao.

It's honestly such an epic display of incompetence that it makes you wonder if they did it on purpose.

>>11494279
Sonar?

>>11494280
>It's honestly such an epic display of incompetence that it makes you wonder if they did it on purpose.
In that way, it's almost artful. Between all the off-colors and the incorrect Decepticon badge, they messed up little details that impulse nostalgia buyers would totally overlook, and that diehard collectors would begrudgingly accept, but also re-buy the figure in 1-2 years when a better-looking version drops. It's a hell of a way to maximize profits, but I bet it works. They've been honing this strategy ever since Siege kicked off.

>>11494280
Damn now i see how the colors are so off...
I won't be buying this. We already got Megatron many times. we can be patient and wait for a repaint.
PS:
I always imagined Megatron as a man wearing grey suit with different shades or grey.
Or some uniform soldier with boots. (so again - grey + dark grey boots)

Not some creamy-grey with blue (why blue...?) boots.

>>11494280

just someone spread the idea "hey, if you own stock in a company, look into the company's fanbase and what they want and are willing to pay for. You might actually find a new angle to exploit, but you at least won't blow money on a failed attempt to get by more cheaply.

>>11494366
Not a fan of the Optimus but kinda like it as RID Scourge
Skids is ehh
Bulkhead yellows so don't
Not a fan of the /Knockout cause the Legacy Prime stuff is so bad
Blurr from SS86 is pretty good

>>11494279
if consumer protection gave two shits about toys, we'd have so much of a case.

>>11494385
Why did this flip? It's a photo taken from a normal camera and looks fine in every way I view it until it's posted

>>11494392
4chan removes some of the metadata from photos when they are uploaded, which removes the orientation in some cases, resulting in that

>>11494392
>>11494395
crop the image and it will orient correctly

WHY RAMHORN IS SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE?!?!?!

>>11494471
He only sells for $25

>>11494471
because ebay is full of retards

>>11494344
I want voyager sized updates of him and Cyclonus so bad. I mean they put out the original trio of Armada Autobots, they gotta do the other two Cons right?.. Right?

>>11494474
>>11494477
its not just Ramhorn.
apeface is also expensive... Some stuff from TR-PotP times getting weirldy expensive...
strangely - little transformers from CW line are not getting expensive...why...

>>11494485
>tfw you will never buy him again...

>>11494490
>>11494485
somebody sent me one free with a lot i was going to use for a custom but I might not now

HAHA!
PISS!
PSHSHHSHHHHHHHH
AHAHA PISS PISS! YIPIEEEEE!!!

>>11494471
>>11494485
>EUR
>Ebay
That's why

>>11494504
where would you go to buy Ramhorn if you was in states of good ol' U S of A?

>>11494494
'look how hard i can piss' will never not be funny

>>11494145
>Nah, CW-ones are still pretty solid. And they will be remembered as "nostalgic" in the future.
>CW was pretty important line in history of transformers figures. Most of people liked them.
I didn't buy a single one be cause they looked shit in every single mode, but whatever lets you sleep at night anon.

Haven't even got a chance to crack open Star Convoy yet and this guy shows up

Upgrade kit for "Kiryu" Optimus Prime is up. Frankly, it kinda sucks - it's just the same Laser Prime upgrade kit they offered for the original LP and Toxitron, but now with some extra guns; then again, they only had so much to work with, given Laser Prime was most definitely the wrong mold to use in this crossover. At least the Godzilla Megatron one looks fantastic.

>>11494561

>>11494561
They added in the shoulder guns that were obviously the sole reason that Optimus mold was chosen for in the first place

>>11494564
ohhhh I see now, yeah that does give it Kiryu-themed weapons
so wait, this also lets the tank turn into a missile launcher?

I can't get used to the godzilla eyes being behind the mouth corners... he's always had such forward-facing eyes.

I want Earthspark Soundwave and Cosmos but they're never going to be reissued

>>11494610
So just get them the first time around?

>>11494561
I don't really like either of them to be desu
Godzilla form is coolish but it's entirely fucking partsforming pieces that make shitty weapons, and the neck is also boring and has nothing on it
I kinda get the tail, but you really couldn't find a way to keep the fins on the shins? Fucking really?

>>11494624
>Godzilla form is coolish but it's entirely fucking partsforming pieces
I mean, of course it is - there really aren't any ports on the SS86 Grimlock mold that can be used to keep the bits permanently plugged into.
> the neck is also boring and has nothing on it
But it does? The fins can't be too big because the head still has to be able to fold back, but they are indeed there.
>you really couldn't find a way to keep the fins on the shins?
There was never going to be a neat way of doing that - Godzilla has three rows of fins on his back, one running straight down his spine, with the other two flanking it. As is such, there wouldn't have been a clean way of splitting the shield piece down the middle without making the center row of spines thick enough to also split, which would have looked chunky and ugly.
It's not perfect, but it certainly looks much closer to Godzilla than the vanilla figure - and is certainly far more passable than "Kiryu" Optimus.

>>11494485
>>11494490

I accepted my fate long ago.
If there is even the remotest chance I may want a figure, I buy him as soon as he's available.

>>11494624
>>11494639
Honestly the price is what kills it for me. $65 for the toy and another $60 for the kit? No fucking thank you.

Any way to stop a Kingdom Tigertron from yellowing?

>>11494663
Burn it until it turns into a pool of black melted plastic.

>>11494667
Wow you're so edgy.

>>11494663
No. But you can reverse the photodegredation by submurging the thing in hydrogen pyroxide and having it under a UV light for 24 hours.

>>11494671
Thank you.

>>11494672
caution: this may make the plastic brittle, and i have no idea what it'll do to the paint.

>>11494673
What if I just rub it with a hydrogen pyroxide wipe?

Sweet, Perceptor three pack just shipped from Target. After him I'll just be waiting on the Ultra Magnus reissue to have the complete movie Autobot crew.

Hasbro shipped me a replacement Omega Prime after having me send mine to them back in May, and I'm happy to report they fixed the cracking issue.

>>11494561
What about the ebay upgrade that gives Optimus a Mecha-Godzilla head?

So when do you think SS86 Mixmaster and Scavenger will start showing up in stores?

>>11494675
i think it would evaporate too quickly, i'm pretty sure that stuff preferentially displaces water

Very pleased with the double butterfly in Godbomber's shoulders
And now Ginrai can have his own sword without pilfering someone else's

>>11494688
November at the earliest.

Combination is a touch more involved than I expected
Make sure you press the button to flip the foot panel and don't just try to force it open
Only part I don't really like are the suspender straps, they're a soft plastic (good soft) and are just one of those things that will need lots of readjusting as you pose your toy

>>11494702
Did you take an image of being connected as vehicles?

>>11494713
Lotta boxes.

>>11494714
Hey, I took one off that stack today

>>11494670
It's literally the only way to prevent that plastic to yellow tough. That's a correct reply to your question.

>>11494694
>>11494698
>>11494702
>>11494713
The more I see him the more I hate him
The Ginrai is so bad. He's multiple Red's and it bothers me a lot to see
But he just looks so goofy

>>11494671
You'll have to do multiple sessions of that if the UV light is only directed in one direction.

>>11494235

Love it. Pleases me greatly that you drew him with what appears to be the cat I was posing mine with earlier.

>>11494675
>>11494697
The whole point of the hydrogen peroxide method is leaving the thing inside a container in the sun so the vapors react to the plastic. You WANT it to evaporate. So obviously wiping isn't going to work.

>>11494730
you want the UV to react with the peroxide, it's IMMERSED. if it evaporates away, it's gone.

>>11494728
Not if you line whatever you're filling with peroxide with tinfoil to bounce the lighting off of.

>>11494735
whoa brilliant

>>11494494

>>11494679
Did you get the whole set or just the base Prime? I know Magnus had some issues with his wings being too tight, stress marks on his legs, and yellowing plastic, but those weren't nearly as reported as Optimus' ab section

>>11494750
The hasbro rep i spoke to in May actually had me send the entire figure back possibly due to my figure having the lubrication issue (oil leaking from the cracked section) in addition to the cracking. Despite nothing being wrong with my UM figure. The new one i received has no issues that i can't tell, so I'm just glad i can't be done with this whole debacle.

>>11494757
I see, that email they just sent out said you didn't have to send the figure back, they'd just send out a new one, but this was just a few days ago, so I can imagine this was their solution before that

>>11494762
Yeah, my guess is that once an overwhelming amount of people started emailing them they scratched the whole plan to do widespread full replacements and go with sending out Optimus figures instead.

>>11494210
I fixed up the assembly using ER Prime's repair droid. Now the tank canon is a removable 5mm backpack. Behold! The Mighty Triple Tank!

>>11494219
It's a good toy for sure, but it doesn't evoke Quake imo. That cannon is cherry tho. Will be using that in a future kitbash.

>>11494764
i hope the people who had to deal with this are able to get the word up to their bosses to fucking.. work on QC.

everyone today is all boooo fuck the rich, but the rich care about money, and the things they do that bother us.. are losing them money.

>>11494772
I don't understand why you keep bringing up strange things.
"I hope that Hasbro decides to improve QC after this fiasco" seems to be enough.

>>11494757
Who would win in a fight? A fire truck robot of justice, or assembly?

>>11494774
It's an ongoing thing, and I am very distracted right now. Sorry for phrasing that so lazily and ramblingly.

>>11494769
It’s the final Dorvack mech that Hasbro didn’t use

Well 5 down, 8 to go

>>11494832
What if vector looks different?

>>11494561
>Make Kiryu's backpack, despite the entire point of picking Lazer Prime was that the shoulders worked for Kiryu's backpack.
MAybe some heavyarm parts.
...or two new robot heds I dunno.

>>11494848
What if they put out a Thirteenth that isn't Star Convoy?

>>11494621
>dude just buy the toy that is so rare scalpers don't even have them

lol

>>11494832

A suitably regal looking display. I just ordered Vector, Prima and Solus and will be ordering Star Convoy soon. Excited to mess around with them and have some figures to pose with Megatronus.

>Earthspark Soundwave is now going for over $100
Wow.

>>11494713
Star convoy looks good but I would have preferred the standard titan price if you get a more quality build and an involved transformation and base mode.
And I think he just lacks paint in everything except his chest, head and hot rod.

>>11494524
>I didn't buy a single one be cause they looked shit in every single mode, but whatever lets you sleep at night anon.

>He didnt like Abominus
I literally have 2 versions for combiner and for single figure display.
You missed out, my fellow shit taste anon...

Just delivered, very excite

>>11494904
Damn this looks cool
i have only BM Rattrap and it's a very particular and unique cool figure.

>>11494904
Pretty gud condition. I bought an old deluxe Jetstorm before and those clear rubber bands had already dried out, turned into yellow dust and leached whatever paint they were covering.

>>11494904
I kind of love how much transforming he does for how little he changes
It's essentially just a head swap but man's all over the place

>>11494908
looking at him now...he kind of literally looks like that fossilizer but alive

>>11494904
I love him. His transformation scheme is pretty fun - you basically have to turn him inside-out. Also, he's a Quetzalcoatlus, which is badass. The only real issue is that his instructions don't show how you're supposed to properly transform his legs - there's a reason he has those extra joints there. Here's how it's supposed to look in Beast Mode.

>>11494910
Side view. Note that you can get him into the classic pterosaur pose by mistransforming his wings a bit. You can also squeeze some more shoulder articulation out of him in in robot mode by mistransforming the parts of the wings that fold up over them.

>>11494911
Clearer shot of his legs from the side. They need to angle a bit underneath him to get him to stand properly.
Also, pardon the dust on him - he's been on a shelf out of reach for a while now.

>>11494906
Man I loved that Rattrap, he went in the purge back in '14 (with everything else I owned).

>>11494907
>Pretty gud condition
yeah, I'm pleased, not easy to find loose at the moment, had to perform some careful surgery extracting him from the card. Don't normally keep cards/boxes but this is one of the exceptions.

>>11494908
wanted him for so long, he's been few and far between in Bongland, usually broken.

>>11494910
>>11494911
>>11494912
Ah, that's cool, thanks for showing! Gotta love instructions that are incomplete, seems to have been a staple of Beast Wars a through to Universe '08. Kind of nostalgic, like those scuffed catalogue pics we'd get of mistransformed figures. (Argos, iykyk).

>>11494908
Echoblaster a cute! Really, all of the characters made from her mold are. Wonder if she'll get a MK2 upgrade like Dio, Jojo, Delta and Moma.

Got Silverbolt/Superion. Didn't intend to get it, but my friend just gave me one, along with 2 aerialbots because he really liked and wanted me to give the new combiners a chance. Anyway:

-Arm connection is easy to remove, compared to Menasor.
-Giant jet mode is rubbish. I get the intent, but the only way for this to look good is the star saber/core booster method, making the extra parts have a defined plane shape with an entire small jet going where a the cockpit should be. Silverbolt's additional parts just looked like a stretched out jet once placed on him.
-Base mode sucks, but we all knew that
-considering how colors were distributed, it's annoying how most of the big gun is painted black, not molded.
-Silverbolt is an improvement on Motormaster just by being a toy that doesn't destroy himself after every transformation, being simplified in some ways worked in it's favor. I do feel like they could have made him leaner, but I can live with it.
-The joint/ shoulder connection for super mode appears to be improved, the gear seems to be fixed in place by the pin, but something appears to keep it from spinning (motormaster has this issue). They also changes the ratchet by making it one tooth with a spring on it, instead of Menasor having a giant round one going over the gear.
-Outward shoulder movement is STILL too weak to support a limb bot. Menasor could keep it's arms spread out without them collapsing back due to weight and Superion still has this problem. The upside is that I'm Superion uses a spring ratchet so you can fix that.
-Legs are great, but limbs look awful on, no reason why they couldn't have the jet sit further in. Meanwhile, the shoulder connection for a jet is scarily tight, I fear pushing Slingshot all the way into the shoulder will break something. A shame since the lower arm connection is perfect.

The only major flaw I can think of is that the ears on Superion look so similar, that most people won't notice they have two left or right ears.

>>11494832
Which upgrade kit you have on Vector?

I think he's neat. Simpler than I anticipated and he got all the leg, like so much leg. Leg for megacycles.

>>11494941
He really is a cool dude - one of the better Beast Machines Maximals.

>>11494895
What can I say, anything that has obvious thighs as elbows and doesn't even try to hide the individual robot arms on its shoulders doesn't have a place in my collection. Not a fan of the robot doing a handstand crotch, either.

>>11494904
had the chance last week at tfcon for one but it was missing a foot so i passed on it.

>>11494384
Really, there isn't anyone stopping (You) from buying stock in hasbro. Not that I support the idea in this economy, but investing is a very heavily emotion-driven trade. People buy and sell based on "how they feel" vs what reality and logic dictates, WAAAY more than you'd think. If every anon here bought a share of hasbro every time you bought a toy, we might end up as a majority shareholder with voting rights. Imagine, a /tfg/ cabal with a representative sitting on those shareholder meetings, screeching our demands or threatening to dump our stocks and walk. We'd have them by the throats, and it would be glorious.

>>11494853
Well that’s not happening because he comes with the zodiac
But Vector might be different colours and have different accessories

I love core class so much. When we getting more?
they have such a fun scale
PS:
I hate how rare megatron core class was. All i was seeing was that green tank

>>11494984
Don't blame you, I don't mind buying loose, but shit has to be complete. No into buying into "projects".

>>11495021
>When we getting more?
cancelled
Retards fucked up easiest class.

>>11495075
>cancelled
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...
It's literally the best tiny transformers... And it's a lot of fun to pose them next to something huge.

But then again we got most of "famous important ones" except classic Bumblebee and few others i think...
Still there is a lot to do.

What a weird situation. a lot of famous core class formers are kind of rare (Megatron, Starscream) and overpriced aftermarket...
gotta grab what is still available on amazon...

>>11494876
>and an involved transformation
Not a single titan has what I would call an involved transformation. And Star Convoy doesn't need one at all, he looks as it should in robot and vehicle modes.
The problem with Star Convoy is that they went out of their way to fuck up every single playable aspect of the original in the most retarded way imaginable. Things that have been common sense on toy making for decades and they completely fucked them up.

>>11495075
Haven't core class been moved along with voyagers to be sold at leader class?

>>11491845
Bonecrusher surprised me too. His proportions are weird and I hate his forearms, but other than that I love him. I think that's a running theme for most of these figures people say are ass when they're announced. I end up buying them for shits and giggles and they end up being my favorite of the bunch.

Right now I am trying to find a color match in 3d printer filament for the green and I think I landed on something so I can just 3d print better forearms.

I still have a lot of issues with the final product of SS86 Devastator, but the pros way outnumber the cons.

>diecast was a mistake

The thing literally chipped when it hits my nail when I am trying to pull the leg down.
I should able to covered it out with some plastic model paint. This is still ridiculous though.

>>11495075
They're still gonna make core class figures, but likely just pack-ins and multipacks. I think there are some minicon sets that have been leaked, but I might have hallucinated that.

>>11495161
>3d printer
I'm very curious about upgrades we will be able to get. There is a lot to do.
i saw those trumpets from the "this is the bad comedy" scene for Bonecrusher and others for example

>>11495166
Yeah that DNA Design is coming out with some upgrades for Bonecrusher and Scrapper already that "fix" some issues, but I can already tell it's made of their incredibly gross waxy plastic that they made their minicon for Cybertron Metroplex with and that thing turned floppy on me recently. Even fixing it with jamming paper towel in the joints is starting to get loose.

Anywho yes I screencapped a YouTube thumbnail. I'm lazy today.

I feel like I'd easily be able to 3D print the forearm pieces, but a lot of the other stuff seems unnecessary. I already made covers for Devastator's forearms.

>>11495170
I'm just interested in trumpets, but i won't buy dna upgrades just for them - too much to pay for such a meme-thetical and stupid (yet awesome) scene.

If somebody just makes a bunch of trumpets for all Constructicons and put that on Ebay - they will sure win because im sure a lot of fans just want trumpets for the whole team...

>>11495166
>>11495170
Speaking of 3D Printing upgrades, here is something I threw together for Sideburn in an attempt to make him have nicer looking shoulders. Can't transform with them and I am having a lot of trouble engineering something that can fold up and slot in place because there isn't a ton of space in his alt mode to store things. I also meant to make new bumpers too but I got too frustrated and depressed trying to figure out how to fit a mechanism in his alt mode that lets him transform with it that I gave up.

>>11495174
This, I just want the trumpets also. Hopefully someone does a set once all the constructicons are out.

>>11495182
>>11495161
>>11495166
Once again i clearly understand why exactly i need 3D printer...
I would model and print so much stupid shit for transformers to hold/be upgraded by...

Damn...i see printers are not too big and expensive anymore either.

>>11495170
>b...but stocky stubby body proportions is exactly why i think Bonecrusher is cute and fun...
bros...this is a downgrade...

>>11494932
Toyhax's set

>>11495075
I know this probably isn’t correct, but didn’t one of the designers say that Hasbro is bringing back Core for the next line after AOTP. Also, leaks have shown that we’re getting a Retro Wheelie, so unless he’s a new mold, we’re getting at least one new Core next year
>>11495164
Red Alert has been leaked showing he’ll get a Minicon pack like Hot Shot did

>>11495203
I'll have to rebuy red alert?

>>11495210
Yes, but it’ll be in his Powerlinx colors if that’s any consolation

>>11495203
I remember that they were trying to bring them.
>>11495164
Pulsecon 100$ Armada Nemesis Prime with dark Star Saber minicon team.

>>11495203
It's stupid to not keep making small figures, they increase the desirability of Titan Class because of interactivity.

>>11495203
>>11495250
I wonder if it's due to Blokees. Their blindbox figures are 10cm and 5.5cm tall, i.e. equivalent to Core and Micromasters.

>>11495258
>blokees
utter garbage. Every time i see them it's youtuber shilling them.
We need smaller transforming figures with pegs/pegholes to interract with other tf-products like previously mentioned Titans or weapons

>need to fix SS86 Bonecrusher
>need to fix my Omega Shitshow
At certain point I feel like I will enjoy model kits.

>>11495258
Do Blokees transform or are they just posable

>>11495283
Just posable, they’re basically like Action Masters or R.E.D, but as model kits

>>11495283
Just posable

New super mode head

>>11495295
ummm...BASED????

>>11495293
>>11495285
well, that's no good. I need little cars to go vroom vroom

>>11495321
The really tiny ones have both cars and robots as separate pulls. But if you need transformation, there's always 3p.

>>11495295
fold in the headlights dingus

>>11495322
why can't hasbro do it?
don't they like us anymore?

>>11494876
Maybe some tweaks to how the top of the trailer so the crotch plate isn't so obvious, the grey side panels could easily had something to flip out and hide the gaps.

The only other things I can think he NEEDS are substantially upgraded hands and a better looking neck. An argument for independent front skirts could be made too.

>>11495332

I like the way you think

wait, is there seriously not a new thread yet? why does nobody ever make one except the troll?

>>11495358
The cooldown time to make a new thread is too long. Best to have someone else do it.

>>11495358
>wait, is there seriously not a new thread yet?
Because the previous thread still isn't dead yet.

>>11495128
>Not a single titan has what I would call an involved transformation.
Nemesis is fairly complex for a Titan - there's a lot of twisting and turning involved to turn her from a robot into what's basically a pointy tube.

>>11495362

They also have head crests. Skydive was made back before we had more complete Quetzal fossils (and therefore didn't really have any idea what the hell the thing looked like aside for the fact that it was a big, flying reptile the size of a Cessna). He's rife with anatomical inconsistencies - having those exposed nasal and aural cavities on either side of his eyes as if he had a bare skull being a big one.

>>11495295
Way too small. I also dont like the edgelord aesthetic. If you made this yourself its admirable
