>blue legs
kek imagine buying this slop

Got SS86 Ratchet in today. I'm actually mixed on him; he looks great in both modes, but the transformation, whilst ingenious, is a bit of a nightmare to click together. Also I don't care for the mono-flap on the pelvis, they should have either done two separate skirts or else done the ER Prime style built-in faux-skirts on the hinges. Still a good toy, and I very much appreciate the level of detail on him (not overly busy but not completely bland or barren either) but he's definitely not perfect.

>>11510649
Wasn’t the blue legs from copies that were bought before release

>>11510653
I have him and the Siege Walgreens version and the Siege version is way more fun to play with. Especially since he's got compatible ports for armor and extra weapons like Rung and can hold a headmaster in his chest

Momma and baby, reunited at last.

>>11510649
light makes them look like this, they are more gray.
>>11510665
Siege reissue could be nice

>>11510659
Those ARE already the release version sitting in hasbro warehouses right now.

>>11510675
And I see two versions in wild one with silver outline around badge and other without it.

>>11510649
Looks close enough.

as far as I can tell with 86 Megs it's probably a camera thing.

>>11510550
>>11510561
I wouldn't until you see how easy it is to get them all again in the new mold.

>>11510080
Because Earthrise Thrust, Thundercracker, and Skywarp were eventually easy to get right?

So is the Takara Leo Prime cancelled or not?

>>11510444
Eh, I was mostly referring to those super complex third party primes. Battle blades is a good one to reference since it’s hasbro’s own product

>>11510739
I don't know, never bought that shit mold. But thinking that Starscream of all characters is going to remain an exclusive is retarded.

>>11510765
and we all know Hasbro NEVER acts retarded.

>>11510775
Dude, you're just being obtuse for no fucking reason. Hasbro does a lot of stupid shit, but you're a moron if you believe a brand new mold Starscream is going to be impossible to buy. They even rereleased Galaxy Shuttle and Cosmos as regular releases and you think fucking Starscream is going to remain an exclusive forever when that toy is going to print money for them? Jesus Christ.

>>11510779
I'm not being obtuse. I'm going by EVERY time Hasbro does the seekers and pulls stupid shit.

I'm also watching people jizz all over themselves to a mold that hasn't even been released once yet (Woohoo throw out your old toys! THIS IS IT) and thinking that we've gone past excited collectors to Hasbo shills.

So go fuck off. When the figures are IN HAND, then I'll cheer.

Is the triple pack worth 150 Euros?
Im starting a transformers collection from scratch and this looks like a good way to get a lot of different characters
I dont have any of them yet and want to know whether they are good figures or if i should just skip them

>>11510791
Blitzwing in this pack is really good, Astrotrain loses his coal tender which sucks but otherwise he's decent, and starscream is just shit and he's getting a new figure soon anyway. I'd say it's not really worth it.

>>11510791
I’d recommend waiting because we’re about to get new versions of each character next year. Astrotrain and Blitzwing are probably going to be redecoes, but Starscream is a new mold

>>11510792
whats wrong with Starscream?
I never really liked Astrotrain i see him more as a bonus and its realy hard to find this figures separately in Europe
I can get Blitzwing on his own but not Starscream for some reason

>>11510796
The earthrise starscream mold is EXTREMELY outdated. it's an upscaled version of a deluxe class mold from 20 years ago with the only engineering upgrade being ankle tilts. It's a fine figure, but we are getting a figure that's a huge upgrade soon. Blitzwing got reissued recently which is why you can purchase him separately.

>>11510758
The point is that there are simple third parties that are better they could reference.

>>11510791
>>11510795
Yeah, the blitzwing listing and new seeker mold killed this 3 pack, in any case wait until it gets cheaper cause it won't move for a while.

>>11510800
Wish the new seekers had individual hip covers instead of the same ER flap.

>thread was not at page 9 or 10
>thread was not at image limit
Why was a new thread made?

>>11510792
>>11510795
>>11510806
So generall consensus is that 2 out of 3 figures in the pack are either lackluster or bad
Honestly im also not a big fan of Blitzwing
His robot mode looks great but his alt modes are either lackluster or bad
His Tankmode shows his cockpit from the jetmode in the front and i know its accurate to the cartoon but the cartoon was made as cheaply as possible in some korean sweatshop and it looks really bad
The Jet mode is even worse the Tank tracks are not hidden at all and just stick out to much
What else can i get for 100 euro budget?

>>11510813
a good optimus prime figure or a few deluxes

>>11510822
(and out of these two options, you're probably going to be happier in the long run if you go with a few deluxes, if you're the kind of person that plays with their toys. I highly recommend legacy/retro gears or any use of the siege sideswipe mold.)

>>11510784
>I'm not being obtuse. I'm going by EVERY time Hasbro does the seekers and pulls stupid shit.

When was the last time a G1 Starscream toy was difficult to buy?
We're talking Starscream here, not any of the other ones, specially not the coneheads. But fucking Starscream. And you think Hasbro is going to make it impossible to buy.
But hey, feel free to be scared of not being able to buy a toy if you want to.

>I'm also watching people jizz all over themselves to a mold that hasn't even been released once yet (Woohoo throw out your old toys! THIS IS IT) and thinking that we've gone past excited collectors to Hasbo shills.

Maybe because the mold actually looks good instead of the utter trash that was the Earthrise one? Are you sure you're not just salty because you have a bunch of Earthrise seeker crap that now it's outdated? Because all that negativity sure reads that way.

>>11510838
go away shill

>>11510813
I’d like to recommend other dramatic capture releases, but nearly all of them are getting new improved figures soon, I see what you were scheming takara…Still, there have been quite a few rereleases recently, I don’t think most of the characters you’d want would be too hard to buy

>>11510838
>people in these threads talking about orders getting cancelled
>haslab mold arrives, exploding right out of the box.
>General release figures being impossible to get, let alone, exclusives due to usual distribution dumbfuckery (still waiting for Beachcomber)
>gee, why are you all being so OBTUSE?

Sounds like you're the one scared that you'll be fucked, yet again, and can't stand to hear any reminders of that fact. Call me when they push back Skywarp before cancelling him outright, or decides Thrust needs to be another Target exclusive so no one can get him again.
and fuck Sunstorm all over again because he's the one everyone has been asking for.

>>11510822
This 3 are all I have
I like Earthrise Optimus a lot even though his articulation in the arm is a bit bad
The new Studio Series looks like it has better articulation but I don't like how he is so cartoon accurate
I dont realy like the cartoon designs all that much
I like it more when there are some alt mode parts all over the figures robot mode like Optimus truck wheels on the side of his legs and his Truck chest or the hydraulic pistons on his knees
I think those little details are really cool and remond you that this is an actual machine instead of leaving them smooth and undetailed like the Studio Series figures do
I know there are people who loke the simple cartoon aesthetic but for me it just doesn't work

>>11510862
If you want a better commander class optimus, then i’d reccomend armada optimus. But if you’re in need of decepticons, maybe try out some of the amazon two packs? Like doom n’ destruction or wreck n’ doom

>>11510861
I had no trouble getting any figure I wanted. I'm going to laugh when Starscream is available fucking everywhere.

>>11510861
>Call me when they push back Skywarp before cancelling him outright, or decides Thrust needs to be another Target exclusive so no one can get him again.
>and fuck Sunstorm all over again because he's the one everyone has been asking for.
The whole thing is about Starscream, you fucking idiot. Not any other character but Starscream. It's retarded to think Hasbro isn't going to rerelease that character in the new mold several times, no matter how stupid they are. Try to follow the conversation.

>>11510878
no we've been complaining about hasbro fucking up getting all the seekers like they always do. where have you been?

That wouldn't have anything to do with it being cheap, drawing the cockpit is more work, it could have just been a line
You want to use the word autistic

>>11511171
ENTER

>>11511171
Volcanicus Torso. Energon Grimlock. Alternators Grimlock. Universe Dinobot

>>11511171
It's bothering me that they didn't pose her feet despite him having ankles

Dead thread

Boneshaker looks great but why the hell is he an autobot?

>>11511178
>Volcanicus torso
objectively worse as an individual robot than the 86 figure in every way.
>Energon grimlock
Good design but still worse as reasons said above
>Alternators grimlock
Transforms into a car instead of a t-rex so not a direct competitor
>Universe dinobot
That's not grimlock, that's just the maximal dinobot unless you're talking about his repaint which doesn't count because at the end of the day that is dinobot's toy mold.

>>11511189
I can see a company like Hot Wheels being prissy about one of their designs being used for a villainous character.
>noooooooo the heckin car doesnt mow people down in the name of Megatron! He has to be a good guy for marketing and sales!

>>11511189
Are there any other autobots that look decepticon-like?

>>11511192
>Volcanicus torso
objectively better due to the extra functionality and Diaclone styling
>Energon grimlock
Good design but even better as reasons said above
>Alternators grimlock
Transforms into a car instead of a t-rex so it's fits the Autobots far better. Actual disguise.
>Universe dinobot
Best overall for turning into an actual T-Rex

Name one chug megatronus/fallen figure better than his age of the primes figure. YOU CAN'T.

>>11511216
>>11511177
I never realized just how outclassed ss86 grimlock actually was. 86 grimlock is like an old washed up athlete with knees that have been ground down to the bone trying to compete with himself at various points throughout his prime. Give it up old man. Go back to eating your tapioca pudding.

>>11511216
Universe Dinobot doesn’t turn into a T-Rex

>>11511236
Beast wars styling

>>11510838
>based Hasbro would never make a popular main character hard to get!!
Meanwhile, Soundwave, Ironhide, Prowl, and even fucking Bumblebee were hard or impossible to get in Earthrise/Netflix. Do you have the memory of a goldfish?

>>11511279
Are we talking about the same figure?

>>11511184
that one's a lady?
>>11511332
i like how you can tell this one tried, but it also got so much wrong that you wonder if the designer was color blind.

>>11511189
I can only assume Mattel changed their minds about factions later so Bomeshaker was changed into an Autobot, even though he clearly has decepticon styling.

>>11511332
Beast wars styling

You know, I wouldn't mind if they rerelease the core Volcanicus dinos in their G2 colors, and even Shattered Glass.

Considering how much they've been pushing her since her Legacy toy came out, how likely is that we'll see a more accurate G1 Elita?

>>11511454
After Kranix

>>11511454
how?
she ~isn't possible~ to do. She makes MP Blackarachnia look like a cakewalk to pull off.

>>11511453
They're doing Monstructor.

>>11511350
The designers back then did this really cool thing called creativity, I know that's a foreign concept nowadays.

>>11511465
And constructor

>>11511472
Anon, these are too close to correct to be a creative choice..
he's tan stripes on brown instead of brown stripes on tan, and what's really hilarious is the Kingdom toy did the same fucking thing, albeit with a closer layout to the show, but..

>>11511461
Hey, they (mostly) figured out how to do Arcee, I’m confident they could come up with something, especially if she were to be given a Voyager class toy

>>11511505
so the entire altmode hanging off of her back didn't bother you? in that case yeah, it's doable, and it's been done like five times.

I suddenly want abominus

>>11511526
I'll sell you mine

>>11511461
She's a lot easier to do than you'd think they're just worried her car mode won't sell, and she has no retool options being so unique.

She's a classic floro dery design. Her windshield retracts into the back (the toy would likely just leave it there) the cars front becomes her hip sides (probably gets tucked away and hidden in a toy) the hood flips under, so it's underside is showing through the glass canopy.
Then legs flip down from the back, the canopy flips down from the front, revealing her head.
Her arms are pretty self explanatory.

>>11511636
why would they be worried specifically about her car mode, which she won't be packaged in? her car mode looks cool.
>the car's front becomes her hip sides, legs flip down from the back
what? that's not how she looks or transforms.

>>11511505
>voyager fembot
never happening unless it's a retool lol

>>11511640
I’m curious if it’s a Hasbro or Takara thing that prevents us from getting more. The fact that Override managed to get a Voyager makes me lean towards it being a Takara thing since Nitro Convoy is a guy, which they could use to justify the release

>>11511332
>>11511350
I don't know what the fuck Hasbro was going for with colors on Dinobot in these years. I've heard the universe one was meant to be a "Predacon" colors version as if he never switched sides at least.Which is dumb because we see him as a Predacon robot and they don't change.
I don't mind show inaccuracy, but what is the point of a reissue when it's not the original colors OR close to the show OR the 97 Takara version which was slightly more accurate. and it's not really any better than any of those either. so it really satisfies no one.

>>11511643
It started out budgeted as a Hot Rod retool, but since Override is relatively simple with the amount of new parts budgeted instead a whole new one was made. Being a man in Japan wasn't likely a consideration at all.

>>11511649
well it satisfies anyone who would have been satisfied whatsoever by this mold regardless.

>>11511639
We only saw the front of her altmode and her transformation was just standing up and the car mode just sliding off to reveal the robot.

>>11511125
whatever it is it just looks bad
I don't like how you can clearly see the cockpit in the tank mode and it ruins the entire tank mode for me

>>11511640
>ignores the titan fembot nemesis we got.

>>11511676

this is baffling. was there dialogue that got removed? are they just feeling random emotions?

i know it's right to left, that doesn't help.

>>11511760
No RETARD >>11511719 comes first and >>11511718 comes second.

>I'm a huge weeb
>doesn't know what a tsundere is

FemOptimus gets sad about dying in the cartoon and needs FemMegatron to cheer her up. Then she gets sad again when watching TFOne and FemMegatron brushes her off, but as per the Tsundere archetype FemMegatron is the one who feels sad and needs FemOptimus to cheer her up this time

jesus christ are you people emotional retards

>>11511676
Floro Dery loves his morphing vehicle parts sizes. I've seen people who didn't even clock that Unicron's planet pincers were meant to be the horns of the robot mode head because of how wildly they shrink between the transformation.

>>11511764
ohh the PAGES are backwards. okay lemme read it again

dude I know what a tsundere is.
okay so... movie makes prime cry, she goes into meg's room, gets snuggles, then they watch some more, this time meg's had enough, but then reneges and comes back in for snuggles. okay, that I can follow okay. Like, ladyMegs had enough and temporarily shoved girlprime away. but we didn't get to see girlprime's reaction, so that didn't really flow for me at all.

I don't think your interpretation is right.. we didn't see anything making girl megatron need cheering up. it was just 'oops wait don't take that rejection seriously'

>>11511768
I prefer versions that give him gigantic back-tusks made out of the planet pincers.

>>11511332
I got this piece of shit to add as a new character for my Neo Predacons group but it really is a pile of crap. Everything was really loose and felt like junk.

>>11511781
hang on, wtf color iguanus is that?

>>11511768
>how wildly they shrink between the transformation.
They don't as much as you think
People don't realize planet unicron EXPANDS into robot unicron. His entire planet mode makes up his chest and hips. When you realize that his horns seem the right size

>>11511770
>we didn't see anything making girl megatron need cheering up
the scene they're watching is Orion Pax dying

>>11511785

>>11511796
Those two comics and their artstyle didn't give it away?

>>11511796
anon does that shock you? does this not feel like fujoshi art?
girls are like this because they're taught to hate and fear real men, and to adore soft, gay men instead. The goal is for them to die alone, which benefits the government.

>>11511799
You could be a lugnutfag where we have not only been stuck with undersized figures for decades but also have no news about him outside a nothing burger tease of a future leader figure despite winning the hall of fame a few years ago. At least you aren't having your expectations toyed with by hacks.

Rhinox must've missed that memo.

Did you repaint your awesome magma-colored Tricranius brown for some reason, or is your camera playing tricks?

>>11511814
awww sleepovers
>>11511821
what anon said is "We saw dinobot when he was still a predacon, and the colors don't change (when he becomes a maximal)"
That's because he just chooses to swap, like Rattrap did, changing codes and whatever, but remaining the same

Rhinox was completely reprogrammed essentially the same thing Tarantulas did to the pods, but requiring more work. He changed from that, even though it was mostly pretty subtle.

>>11511822
oh wow good eye, either Anon gave that a clear-wash (you can see the gradients are intact) or that is some PROFOUNDLY bad lighting luck for ol' Tricky. Because other bright reds pop just fine in that photo.

Snapper was one of my favorite toys and Bat Primal was my Optimus as a kid so I HATE the stupid BW genderswaps

>>11511838
>>11511849
I mean, I like 'em - that's easily my favorite Hun-Grrr ever. I still have that Abominus sitting in my display cabinet (fighting my G2 CW Superion, who I'm really hoping to replace with the inevitable AotP G2 release).

He’s a bit of alright, this Onyx Prime fella.

In next vote for altmode I want Optimus as a flying vehicle.

Megatron… as a submarine.

>>11511972

fusion cannon becomes a nuclear missile for alt mode storage

>>11511821
It’s so weird to me that this and “Darkarachnia” have never gotten toys

>>11511838
Only combiner team I want, simply because they're weird as fuck and can't possibly be bland like Menasor and Superion

Bruticus is the best decepticon combiner

>>11512064
that will unfortunately be ruined by frameslop

>>11511971
We'll see what happens on the 12th
I assume the ballot is going to be
>Optimus
>Bumblebee
>Megatron
>Starscream
Maybe Grimlock and Soundwave if they're feeling generous

And given that conservative estimate I'd have to vote Starscream

Only three days until I get Ultra Wideness in the mail

>>11512074
It was Shockwave, Starscream, Mirage and Grimlock.

>>11512080
Hopefully in not so distant future we will get TFA Magnus. And I will be done with Magnuses.

>>11512087
I could see him being a pretty good leader class, hopefully a pretool/retool of some other armored vehicles like Roadbuster or Superlink Onslaught. The latter is one of my personal never-evers.

>>11512097
Depends on scale in worst case I can see him made like Doubledealer. Commander could make his hammer proper scale + wings for Optimus.

>>11512086
And it appears round two is
>land
>air
>sea
>wild card

I can't wait for the fan vote to have the shittiest result for the 4th time in a row

I'm still pissed BWtards voted for Primal to win that POTP vote, but then again POTP was such a garbage line it was probably a blessing in disguise

>>11512149
I still really just want to see the concepts Hasbro had drawn up for the other characters

>>11512149
>voting

>>11512155
I have a sneaking suspicion that Shockwave’s probably had some influence on his Siege toy

>>11512064
Based, I'd go even further and say he's the best G1 combiner period.

>>11512171
Ultra Magnus' seige toy too

>>11512171

>>11512175
well that goes without saying all the autobot combiners are.. mid (superion) to shit (volcanicus) (dinobots shouldn't need to combine to be powerful)

>>11511189
All those football helmets are Autobots.

>>11512236
Does helicopter Shockwave count as a new idea?

>>11512236
>>11512155
We know Arcee's name was "Arcana Magnus"

We also saw the original PotP concept where Starscream had the Star Saber boosters so it might have been a case where her toy docked into something.

>>11512086
>>11512147
air starscream or air grimlock. Calling it now.

what if we got sea + Grimlock though and they gave us Paddles instead? [spoiler]A Grim Loch...[/spoiler]

I like to imagine that Arcana Magnus is Arcee's car mode merged with two Bike drones like a girly Big Volfogg.

>>11512290
Arcee wouldn't work as a big leader figure.
She could work as a small figure that turned into a motorcycle, and then the armor was the add on shit that allowed her to turn into her usual car mode.

so basically Energon Arcee into G1 Arcee

we were denied

Prima's alright, though I still think Prima Prime is kind of a stupid name.

>>11512305
>Prima Prime Prime Jr. Shabadoo

>>11512292
Personally I'd go with sea Grimlock or wild card Starscream

It's entered my brain and now I can't let go of the idea of ice cream truck Starscream
Have the panels of the truck fold out into his wings
Replace the cockpit on his chest with a waffle cone

I LOVE this guy. The matrix and the hands are so cool. I haven't been able to stop playing with him. Normally I'd complain about the Siege-like alt mode but it makes sense in this case; I like to pretend he's an ancient Cybertronian villager.

This reminds me that HasTak seriously needs to make a new G2 Megatron mold to go alongside Legacy Laser Prime. It feels weird having one and not the other and they could easily redeco it into Megastorm and retool it into Rebirth Megatron or Hero Megatron

>>11512345
with that reason being beast wars fans being autistic retards

>>11512372
Autistic retards that bother to actually vote in popularity polls.

>>11512257
I actually really like defensor, and considering defensor is the autobot counterpart to bruticus that makes sense. The problem with defensor in my eyes is that defensor gets NOTHING to do.

I really hope that defensor gets the spotlight in skybound. With how the decepticons are wrecking the west coast an autobot combiner centered around helping humans would be an AMAZING ELEMENT to bring into the story.

>>11512372
It's probably not even Beast Wars fans. Hasbro just is retarded in making polls
>Here's a bunch of G1 characters
>and token Beast Wars option

>droves of I HATE G1 I HATE G1 fags come out and dogpile onto the not G1 option just to see G1 lose.

>>11512354
God I hate the gummy plastic and soft sculpting of new Beast toys. The hand sculpted stuff from the 90s looks better.

>>11512372
>NOOOO YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO VOTE FOR THINGS YOU LIKE

>>11512372
code of hero was the best transformers episode of all time yes

that does not give beast wars fans the right to be annoying about it all the time

>>11512064
I prefer Baldigus but he owes his existence to Bruticus so I'll give it up and agree with you

>>11512387
by.... winning polls? And remember, this was under the "Beast Wars Was A Mistake" regime, where Beast Wars was totally banned. Beast Wars fans won after years of being totally ignored and abused.

>>11512064
Always was. Cool bunch of military vehicles, no uniform color scheme, Bruticus has a cool head. The Space Shuttle is kind of odd but hey.

KEK

>>11512402
I have no idea the context for this and it's in broken english so it makes even less sense. I thought we were on 4chan not the TFW repost bay

>>11512397
The space shuttle is unique and at least it's not another damn decepticon jet

also shuttles are used in military surveillance yadda yadda


I think the individual combaticons also got their own scenes in g1 more often than other combiner team members, swindle of course got his own scenes but blast off was in one episode of season 3 completely alone as well

>>11511189
Been away from these threads for a few months, wtf is this? Are they finally doing better Spychanger type guys or is this bigger?

>>11512412

>>11512237
>dinobots shouldn't need to combine to be powerful
Yeah I don't really care for volcanicus despite being a big dinobot fan, them being a team that didn't combine was unique, plus we already had a Dino combiner anyway.

>>11512236
>inb4 votes are wasted trying to make HoS Shockwave happen
To be fair I'd 100% be down for an ACTUAL submarine Shockwave. Specifically like a WW2 U-boat, those things are cool as fuck.

>>11512420
I like the idea of Volcanicus being some alt universe Dinobots, where they're weaker or something. Our Dinobots are bigger and stronger, while theirs are more refined and weaker, but can combine.

I DID really like how Cyberverse made Volcanicus a combiner that could transform though. It's probably impossible to do as a toy but being a combiner with an altmode is a gimmick nobody else has.

>>11512390
Baldigus's name is so difficult to localize without it either being nonsense or completely different. The best my formed and I came up with was Barbaricus (brute/brutal = barbarian/barbaric)

>>11512441
safeguard from animated?

>>11512450
full combiners not "limited" combiners. The scramble city teams

>>11512451
He doesnt use a frame. He's a full combiner.

>>11512455
how many members is his team

>>11512457
More than one

>>11512459

>>11512402

>>11512348
>GeeOnes for the GeeOne god!
>Primes for the Prime throne!
>Let the toylines burn!

>>11512470
It makes more sense to have a SS86 Titan than some bayslop nobody wants. Not to mention the many other things we could get Titans from, like UT or BW.

>animated fans on twitter are seething over wreck-gar and lashing out
>meanwhile prime fans were told to suck it up and accept Bulkhead and Arcee being bad
>Animated keeps getting toys
>Prime has gotten nothing else

to add insult to injury we aren't even getting a G1 Skyquake out of the Skyquake mold, despite the design being modified to look like G1 Skyquake?

>>11512460
Jetfire, Jetstorm, Acid Storm, Sunstorm and Nova Storm

>>11512473
Somebody ask Evan about Skyquake on Instagram. I hear he answers questions there. I can't do it because I'm not 75 years old so I don't have a Facebook account.

>>11512473
Animated has it worse because Hasbro thinks the fans actually like their shitty botched remakes. So many characters that won't get another chance ever again.

>>11512472
If it’s any consolation, it’s been pretty heavily hinted that the 2027 Titan might be Unicron
>>11512475
Jetstorm feels like a really obvious name for a Seeker now that I think about it

>>11512469
Wherever two or more are gathered in Primus' name, there is a combiner

>>11512470
You Bayshitters are disgustingly predictable. I'm sorry you're such a gigantic retard, but perhaps I may need to spell it out for your drooling slop sucking retard ass:

No one likes Bayshit. No one. You fucks are the worst part of the fanbase by far. Not liking Bayshit doesn't mean you want G1 either, you fucking retard.

I'd rather see literally anything but Bayshit. Give me Animated Omega. Give me Grandus. Give me a reissue of the Nemesis. Give me fucking anything but Bayshit.

>>11512492
Bayverse is the real transformers, has been for 20 years. G1 is a flop.

Cope, those numbers are 100% true.
Driller is a more iconic character than the majority of the G1 cast.
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/releasegroup/gr414536197/

>>11512299
>the tail just.. becomes legs! somehow. each leg being twice as thick as the tail. also ridiculous no-shin attempted digi legs.

>>11512517
>Driller is a more iconic character than the majority of the G1 cast.
That's because the G1 cast has over a hundred characters, not because that worm shit is iconic.

>>11512522
So what you're saying is, he's more iconic?

>>11512517
>those numbers are 100% true.
I don't care about numbers, I like toy robots. Not the ones you like, though. Your tastes are bad. If we hung out I would break your toys for fun.

>>11512517
I’ve always wondered if Driller was inspired by the G1 Dweller since they have somewhat similar concepts. I know it’s probably just coincidence, but it’s fun to think about

>>11512531
>I dont care about the facts
I accept your concession. Bayverse are the real transformers.

>>11512313
That's the worst name I ever heard

>>11512330
that actually looks really bad.. So basically they couldn't adjust the hip width at all, could they. they couldn't fold any of the foot away to make it like the robot mode foot should be.. they couldn't give him a big enough spike ball.. they couldn't make the dino legs work right.. he's so thick and bricky he reminds me of when they did that uhhh yknow movie Galvatron, the one where transforming is inherently impossible.

>>11512339
>you don't have any issues with his proportions? at least his legs aren't as bad as I worried they would be.
Not really. Like, the beast mode body is definitely too short and it makes his legs look cramped together, especially in 6-legged mode, but it's a fantasy monster so I'm willing to forgive it. His bot mode proportions are great though.
My only slight issue is how visible the shoulder hinges are in centaur mode. They could have done with a bit of sculpted fur or something to try and disguise them a little.

>>11512354
mine's coming somewhat soon.. i really wish they'd taken another go at this, but I don't hate it.
>>11512372
It's.. the most cerebral and maturely-written one of the lot, so.. no? I would imagine anyone who likes, er, the recent one, with the 'they', they'd have to be autistic.

>>11512538
Hey! Prima Prime Prime!

>>11512504
you know lots of us like it, right? we see the flaws, but we also see the parts that worked.
>>11512552
yeah his bot mode is definitely the best of the three by a wide margin. I'll get him on clearance sometime and basically keep him in that.
>shoulder hinges
yeah those look very 'toy' and also not very masculine.

>>11512367
Guess they figured that Earthrise G2 repaint was good enough

>>11512407

There was one typo so I fixed it and changed the wording slightly to make it more clearly. The dude is know for posting pictures of figures Photoshopped terribly onto images and memes. He just got the last two Aerialbots so it's expected that he's going to start posting more shitty pictures.

>>11512392
>Beast Wars was totally banned. Beast Wars fans won after years of being totally ignored and abused.
citation needed.
like anon said, Beast Wars was winning polls because >>11512382

>>11512501
He's been insufferable for years.

>>11512407
Here's an example of the "quality" of his pictures.

>>11512520
it was just for a game

>>11512532
considering so many other plot points from DOTM were ripped off of G1 episodes, it's probably true

>>11512552
>>11512555
>>11512558
>>11512559
This design really makes me want to see the team try and tackle Prime Predaking as either a leader or a commander
>but won’t that be confusing if they do G1 Predaking
Just call him Dragotron instead, I’m not picky

>>11512587
And they could retool him into Violengiguar easily.

>>11512587
>Beast Fire Predaking
Fuck yeah! I loved that toy.
I immediately thought of the Prime Predacons when I opened Onyx, such a fun group of toys. It might be time to dig them out of the old storage locker... and finally buy Grimwing.
I think Predaking would make for a great Titan class. That size would be much better suited for his gigantic dragon mode and fuck it if it means his bot mode is too big, he shrunk far too much in the show anyway.
Also, this >>11512604 I like this idea.

>>11512604
It’d be funny if they packaged him as a Titan, but the only change is that he comes with all the armor he gives to his generals, so you have to buy 9 other toys (including 2 Titans, 6 Combiners, and 1 Godmaster) if you really want to get the most out of his release

>>11512444
I try not to think about mysterious Japanese naming conventions too hard. In this instance maybe it's just Buruticasu being kind of hard to pronounce and not rolling off the tongue too easily for japanese people or something? Kind of how they like to shorten Bumblebee to just Bumble or change Optimus Prime to Convoy. Honestly I dont sweat the reasoning too much since it results in his gun being called the Bal Buster.

>>11512615
I finally decided to watch through Car Robots recently and that caught me so off guard

>SS86 Megatron already shipping from Montreal
Huh. That's several months earlier than expected.

>>11510649
Yes! Megatron's legs are not blue!
Neither are Sonic's arms!

As much as I like lightbox I feel like all pics look so soulless.

>>11512563
Jannies on tfw already nuked it

>>11512564
I mean, I can't say I paid enough attention back then, wasn't really aware of transformers internet culture stuff, but I can say that, at least for the last 15 years, that has been the understanding of what happened, be it true or not. this isn't a new narrative, 'everybody knows' beast wars got snubbed repeatedly in all the votes, and when they started letting a few in, the votes poured in. because beast wars fucking rules. and because 90s kids are a decently-sized group.

>>11510641 (OP)
man I remember being a kid, the ones in the early 2000s were so hard to build I loved them.

they were like fucking collectibles they were so well made and the big ones fucking forget about it

I miss toys like these

>>11512568
dude you're coming off like a petty child. this is someone having fun.
>>11512569
I guess. I suppose those have their own rules.
>>11512587
misnaming really is the least obtrusive thing to do, if there are issues.. whatever you wanna call it, just give me the guy.

>>11512627
Welcome to 2025, where release schedule means nothing. I fully expect all my September preorders to drop this month.

>>11512558

Anyone buying this fucker and headcanonning him as a super mode for Shockwave after Shockwave injects Dark Energon into his veins?

>>11512562
theyve been doing this thing where they do a couple repaints on a shit mold, then make a new, good mold, then don't redo the repaints. So we get G2 Megatron out of the worst Megatron but now that we have a good one they won't repeat it because "we did that already"

>>11511826
Walgreens is just the more fun toy since he has more accessories, an unofficial third alt mode, and compatible with most of the Siege era gimmick is. His only problem is that he has the Siege Ironhide problem of his side van panels coming off easily in robot mode.


If you want a proper Earth mode Ratchet, buy SS86.

>>11512660
No. Why Shockwave? Looks nothing like him.

>>11512660
I’m waiting for his inevitable blue redeco for that

>>11512653
His pictures are terrible he posts them way too often, then when people try to give him legitimate tips to improve his craft and get better he cries and reports them to the mods for bullying. For that, he deserves ridicule.

>>11512653
>dude you're coming off like a petty child. this is someone having fun.
I'm a different anon who doesn't even post on that board but I an understand how anyone would get fed up if they have to deal with crappy unfunny shopped pics on the regular.

>>11512660
No, that would be retarded. Even more retarded than this bollocks >>11512672

>>11512658
I wouldn't mind getting the last 2 Constructicons and Aerialbots early.

>>11512676
>>11512677

in addition to that he's the faggot that dragged out his attention whoring on revealing 86 Megatron because his faggot friends wouldn't sell him early shit anymore if he did

>>11512529
Compared to like 30+ G1 characters it's a fucking nobody. Hell, compared to ALL the BW cast it's a fucking nobody too.

But you obviously want to compare it to the most obscure tertiary characters from a show that has over a hundred of them. So yeah, you needing to do that is pretty telling about how incredibly iconic that worm is, kek. You should go to china, they seem to have the same tastes as you.

>>11512647
>As much as I like lightbox I feel like all pics look so soulless.
Funnily enough I just got my first lightbox and I'm loving the results.

>>11512676
I'm not sure who's worse, Lazerwave or DocSeth.

>>11512687
Well, soulless works for The Fallen.

>>11512671
Shockwave disguised himself as him in the comics.

>>11512660
he does look like a Dark Energon abomination, at the very least he looks like a Prime design. Not sure where you get Shockwave from though
>>11512693
oic

>>11512672
man. robots in disguise IN DISGUISE. that's layers.
>>11512676
you're acting like there's some inherent value to pictures someone is making for free, like he's somehow depriving you of better pictures by not meeting your standards. He's just a kid having fun
>posts them way too often
on tfw or whatever? i wouldn't know. But that is indeed a problem, and it works better if you just talk to him and suggest cutting it down
>legit tips
ehh i've heard some of these 'legit tips' before.. there's a reason you guys aren't teachers.
>reports them
well then he's a faggot. do you think ridicule is going to help that? Naw, he'll think he's justified. a little kindness and he'll realize he's being an ass.
>>11512685
yeahhh he's probably really in need of a fuckin dad.

>>11512709
>you're acting like there's some inherent value to pictures someone is making for free
no but there would be value in him not shitting up every photo thread with his spam

>>11512709
>But that is indeed a problem, and it works better if you just talk to him and suggest cutting it down

except he cries to the mods when you have anything slightly negative to say

>>11512689
they're both awful for different reasons

>>11512689
DocSeth has singlehandedly permanently ruined multiple threads. I cant stand that motherfucker

>>11512647
>Jannies on tfw already nuked it
They deleted my criticism of 86 Megatron. They have been quietly axing any wrongthink lately

>>11512731
>let me take a picture of a character from a top angle so it looks like they're leaning forward then impose them on a scifi backdrop that doesn't match Transformers at all, or put them in a real setting but forget to take into account the size of the characters so this carbot makes the real car look like a Tiny Tykes car

>>11512737
Stop having so many incorrect opinions then, baka

>>11512716
precisely what I was getting at. Focus on that part. Don't insult what he makes, correct his incorrect behavior.
>>11512722
Well, if the moderation LISTENS to that, then you were ALWAYS fucked. and the LAST thing you'd want to do is double down on tossing hostility his way. Are you afraid of the mods?

>>11512737
And they deleted me saying "the tariffs were intended to stop Chinese bootleggers and drug traffickers peddling their shit to the US, things could be a lot worse for you". Really makes you think.

>>11512764
That is not how tariffs work

>>11512764
they were 'intended to be that' inasmuch as the people who supported it wanted it for that reason
it should have been obvious that the true purpose is the opposite, to engender sympathy toward chinese products and to destroy tariffs in 3 years.

>>11512650
the one where Dinobot won was the first pool, what are you talking about?
>this isn't a new narrative, 'everybody knows' beast wars got snubbed repeatedly.
Yes narrative. everyone wants to pretend they're a victim, I never not remember people talking about how great BW was.

>>11512784
That's fine, just as long as you aren't trying to lie and say that was never a thing. I'm sorry you don't share in it, that must be frustrating. but imagine how it was for us. Hell we're only on our second release of most beast wars guys (in america at least, and the old ones were only repaints), some we still haven't gotten. And they're still not perfect either.
Err third release if you count MP.

>>11512686
Bumblebee, Optimus, Grimlock, Starscream, Megatron, Soundwave. Literally every other G1 character is completely irrelevant. Ask the average person off the street who Prowl or Astrotrain are and they'll have no clue. Then tell them if they remember the big fucking worm at the end of TF3 or the gorilla at the end of TF2 and they'll say yes. Worm is the 7th evergreen character.

>>11512788
vicious cycle. that's all they make, so that's all anyone knows.

>>11512789
Merchandise is a really good way to track the cycle. A lot of people try to put Windblade or Jazz at 7th but merch (Normie products) show that they aren't even on the radar. Only the main 6 have any sort of pull.

>>11512798
eh.. i am dubious that they do it enough to really say anything scientific about it
besides, jazz is small. small isn't fun

>>11512800
Jazz just isnt conducive to making to good merch. He isnt a unique vehicle like the others and competes with Bumblebee for token car character, but is majority a boring plain white. When he's silver he also competes with Megatron. At best he's used as the representative for generic autobot in ensemble artwork.

>>11512809
yeah that is valid.
all the more reason they need to cut it out with the forced samey guys though. release more unique guys that look cool. TRUST IN YOUR PRODUCT or sell it to someone else.

>>11512330
>new titan class
>barely bigger than commander jetfire

Is this a fucking joke? We lost an AOTP titan for this, and it isn't even titan sized?? The excuse of engineering upping the price tag that bootlickers love using doesn't even apply here, we've all seen that back kibble.

>>11512815
it has back kibble too? jesus. I know this is a rough transformation, but at this size, it should be doable. did they just stop caring below the knee?

>>11512811
>>11512809
Also to add to this, Megatron is probably the best merch character besides Bumblebee. His most popular depictions have him in cybertronian modes, making him both a representative of the Cybertron/Bayverse style along with people being most accepting
When he's something different. He's a deep silver, making him a classy/casual choice for people that wouldn't want to wear loud Bumblebee yellow. Someone could look at Pic related and go "yeah that looks like megatron".

>>11512788
>Ask the average person off the street who Prowl or Astrotrain are and they'll have no clue. Then tell them if they remember the big fucking worm at the end of TF3 or the gorilla at the end of TF2 and they'll say yes.
No, you should ask them if they remember Driller or Devastator. If you're asking names for G1 instead of "the patrol car guy" or "the guy who is both a train and a spaceship", the same should apply to Bayformers characters. And then you're fucked, because normies don't know shit. If that's how you measure how iconic something is, that's on you. But I disagree.

>>11512822
>Someone could look at Pic related and go "yeah that looks like megatron".
You wouldn't even know that's related to transformers if not for the logos.

>>11512835
That's more damning towards G1 if they can't even recall when using their name
>You wouldn't even know that's related to transformers if not for the logos.
That's why it makes for nice merch. If you want everyone to know it's TF shit you go Bumblebee.

>>11512815
Did they say a price yet?
I kind of assumed it was the lower price, like Star Convoy

>>11512815
Debtass, they are making everything harder to get and more expensive simultaneously. Not fun

>>11512672
>I’m waiting for his inevitable blue redeco
Thats too deathsaurous-y, I guess thats why they went with the bronce colors.

>>11512835
>Patrol cars
I've only heard those called those in anime. Every actual person just uses cop car.

>>11512923
once in a while.. it depends on what other words surround it in the sentence. you'd try not to make any odd sound combinations. I hear police car 50/50 with cop car. I've never once heard patrol car outside of actual police radios, on which I still hear 'squad car' much more often.

>>11512927
Thats pretty neat, I don't like the Alpha enough to even consider it at that price but I'm sure one or two people will be happy.

God this is one of the most autistic arguments I've seen in awhile

>>11512788
>you mean if you bring up the movie and mention parts of the movie first and they then remember...
Yeah, that's not iconic. Darth Vader is iconic, Optimus Prime is Iconic. people know what those are without being told what they're from first.

>>11512945
Welcome to the Transformers fandom; I hope you enjoy your stay

>>11512952
I've lost track of this argument, but are you basically saying, to follow the comparison,
vader, luke, leia, chewie, han, and the droids are the only evergreen ones, and Lando is the Jazz here? Doesn't make the cut as iconic?

>>11512961
You aren't going to see a Lando toaster or T shirt.

>>11512945
Anti bayverse fags will go to weird lengths sometimes. There's nothing wrong with liking G1, but that argument was open and shut since 2007.

>>11512976
Bayshit was propped up by breaindead normies who only watch movies to see special effects and jerk off the US Military. Once the sheen wore off and there were other movies to watch the normies decided to watch something else, while Baysharts clung to their shitpiles like maggots.

Bayshit continuously does worse and worse while having Z-E-R-O crossover appeal with the rest of the brand. The obese dad who hoots at seeing dogs hump each other isn't turning around and buying an expensive import figure or pre-ordering the next wave of figures. He's scratching his dirty asshole and thinking about buying THE PILL or whatever other slop Bay was paid to put in his movie.

Bayshit is an active detriment to the brand as a whole, which you can see from Bumblebee (deliberately kneecapped to protect the Bay brand) and TF:One (which people refused to see because they thought it was Bayslop. Remember, there were multiple cases of people reporting that they didn't know that TFOne wasn't a remake of 07.)

"Bayshit is real Transformers" is one of the most delusional braindead statements imaginable. It's so far away from Transformers that it might as well be another brand entirely. It's just "Team America Kills the Space Robots"

>>11512961
If a different anon who said that
But I'm saying if you said "Hey it's the Driller." nobody would know what you're talking about.
I don't know how many G1 guys would be considered "iconic" either. I don't think that's the right word to use for any of this.
Like I said, Optimus Prime is iconic. Most people would know who that is right off that bat. he's an Icon. Maybe Bumblebee or Starscream. Those are names most laymen might recognize from both the movies and the rest of the franchise.

many of the other characters from any of it? Ehhhhhh?

>>11512986
I skimmed over all that. Honestly can't be bothered to read something so passionately pointless. You've fumed and nobody's mind was changed. Go outside and get some fresh air, loser. This stupid shit doesn't matter.

>>11512988
>bayshart can't read
least surprising thing itt

>>11512987
I guarantee you that nobody introduced to the Bay movies alone knows who Starscream is. The Bay movies barely name characters. They know Optimus, Bumblebee, and MAYBE Megatron

>>11512989
You're right. Me no read so good. Hey, since you're better than me with that kinda thing, can you tell me what this says? I think it has something to do with that crummy Michael Bay you don't like...

>>11512994
>Michael Bay is the REAL Transformers! Heh, you mad gewunners????
>W....wait! Stop being mean to me! J...just stop caring! N...nobody cares about Transformers! It doesn't matter okay?! Just give it to us! I'm the one in charge here!

How does it feel to worship the worst filmmaker in human history?

>>11513028
It was some korean guy from the sweatshop they were paying to animate the movie. He understood framing far better than Bay. Also I've never heard of the Russo brothers.

Pshhh, nuthin' personel bayverse

>>11513056
is that just one frame from a beam that wavered a lot? because it's not straight at all

>>11513057
Lmao, nice framing.

>>11513059
no I mean, I bet that beam waves side to side if you slow it down, but at speed it just looks like a beam that kinda twitches

>>11513057
It's a beam/projectile for a second or so I believe, I just grabbed the first image that wasnt a scuffed filetype so mileage may vary

>>11513057
it comes out all crackly and weird, rather than a clean circular, unbroken beam

>86 Unicron

I just can't believe they going to make another so soon after the haslab one

Yes it is nice for them to make a new one, but if you're kind of insulting for those who got haslab unicron though especially the price tag

>>11513080
they aren't making another one tho???

>>11513080
>oh no a business is going to make things that sell

It's not going to be as good or detailed as the Haslab or any of the 3rd party offerings anyway, so why are you complaining? A mainline Unicron was inevitable. It'll probably be $250, too.

>>11513071
yeah that's what i thought. very cool. I love those old effects, and studying them. I particularly like any time a blaster sends out something that looks almost liquid. I wanna say Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys did that.

A concept of a plan yeah. So nothing.

>>11513090
People like the gay CEO in 4 and the Asian guy in 3. Point is that the best selling TF movies didn't even have Fox.

>>11513096
I know you're still in the denial stage, but RoTB broke even and One lost at least 100 million dollars. They were hard flops not even accounting for marketing budget.

>>11513089
Never saw it, I think.
>>11513090
She was greasy, trashy and smothered in faketan, I never thought she was the awooga superbabe others did. But my point is every time I see bayformers (rarely) discussed in the normiesphere, it's about megan fox, either about how hot she was in that one transformers movie, the hood pop scene, or more recently, bay was a creep for her audition method or whatever the story is on that. Point being normiesphere on bayformers rarely seems to revolve around transformers.

Better look at the Bruticus boxart

>>11513107
I have no idea if it's a fake story or not, im not saying he's a creep or not, just that it's one of few topics of normie discussion I see concerning bayformers rather than anything to do with the actual transformers themselves

>>11513110
Feels good to be dead?

>>11513112
To be fair, bumblebee and ROTB had to go though actual competition during their theater runs. They could have made a lot more if it was less hostile.

They confirmed the next 4 years of Titans are the Bayverse Dinobots. Even if the immediate following Titan is 86 Unicron, that means it would release in 2030, 9 years after the haslab.

>>11513112
i could see 3, but I thought everyone universally thought of 4 and 5 as unexpected aftershocks. I mean, when the FUCK has a 4 or 5quel ever been popular? I guess a 5 still hasn't, but this is unprecedented. 4 did have the best plot, that's.. a weird thing to say about these movies, but it had a great plot and there was prophecy and setups and shit, and next movie was set to actually be good in story..
then they were like lol nope but here's anthony hopkins and not-C-3PO so... okay, i'm cool with you.

>Alignigger continuity fanfiction
the UT series effectively kept the brand relevant enough to stay on toys shelves and attracted tons of new fans until we got the movies. Primeslop was the first step into the dark age when the series not only pandered to manchildren it also began the shit budget cuts of the 2010's where we were getting literal mcdonalds happy meal quality plastic and figures. A far cry from what we seen in the 2000's. We still haven't recovered from what prime did to the franchise.

>>11513165
well they're studio series. studio series transcends the rigid size classes, no? Aren't they priced individually and have a gradient of sizes?

>>11513163
As a huge fan of Grimlock in general...I have no intention of getting this. It's just a bigger, more expensive version of the SS toy that I already have, and it fixes none of the issues with the original. The only one I'm mildly interested in is Scorn, since he's a character I don't own any version of, and even then I'm making no promises until I see him.

>>11513175
>none of the issues
anon, perhaps I'm wrong, but to my eye it leaves two issues intact:
>dino legs are not dino leg shaped
>bowlegged overall
actually WORSENS two issues:
>spike ball hand too small, toes no longer a single point
and improves three issues:
>dino mode now has a tail
>and a neck
>and he's a lot bigger
Just bein fair here.

The winner

>>11513175
It would be funny to end up with three Scorns after all this.. I felt like an idiot for missing Voyager Scorn, and I ended up getting one used YEARS later, only to remember "oh yeah it has a manufacturing defect" and clumsily gouging out plastic to let it transform. and still thinking it's a bit awkward overall.
I'll be very happy to get a titan version, but again, you gotta get the fuckin legs right. Long feet, standing on tiptoe. this is not optional. Put in the strongest fucking ratchet joints you have, or (as a last resort) lock the ankles (at least in the direction that bears weight)
I wish I could draw these people diagrams. I'm not that much of a fucking genius engineer like my grandma, I shouldn't be this much smarter than them.

>>11513165
iirc according to Evan a few months ago the gameplan is Grimlock and Scorn will be actual titan class, while Slug and Strafe will be commander while still scaled to them. Makes enough sense so aotp/whatever the line in 2027 can get get the titan slot. Hopefully a voyager Slash can be slotted in at some point.

>>11512809

>>11513211
To be fair it's the big ticket item for the biggest TF movie ever. But on the other hand the chinks have had nearly ten years of Oversized Grimlock KO wars so their primary market is already oversaturated. I wouldn't be surprised if Slash and Slog get better sales due to people wanting to complete OSKO teams.

>>11513219
they have good attributes, but they are hardly "Feature-complete" as it were.

You just go right away, Satan. You're getting yours pretty soon anyway. if you want me to spend more, you have to manipulate shit to get me more money. and the big guy's not doing that, so something tells me you're gonna have trouble with it.

>>11513225
Minecraft is the biggest video game franchise of all time so of course it was going to do well. Lilo and Stitch existed across several TV shows and Straight to DVD movies for years so zoomers paying to see it again on film was an obvious conclusion. Another example of this phenomenon is Silent 2 remake selling well due to zoomers growing up on theory videos, they were basically preemptively advertised to for years.

>>11513230

You are correct. A large percentage of movie going audiences are lowest common denominator morons who will happily fork over money to see properties and characters they recognize over and over again, which is why the Bay movies made money consistently. Being profitable at the box office is absolutely not an indicator the quality of the movie itself though.

>>11513080
>but if you're kind of insulting for those who got haslab unicron though especially the price tag
Good, if someone wants character to stop getting updates because it lowers value of previous toy then he is a scalper and a faggot.

New Unicron, new Saber, new Deathsaurus, repaints of those etc.

>>11513213
It's just the way it is,made those are basic walls. I like them a bit since it makes pics much brighter. I have all those different color backdrops but I think I used them only once.

>>11513247
whoa, you made your box out of the skin of the legendary CHROMELEON. that's fuckin metal.

>>11513133
4 had one of the worst plots, you're high dude.
Anyway, 4 made money mostly because of how much goodwill 1-3 had generated with audiences, so they had no reason yet to think 4 would be bad before actually seeing it. Unfortunately, it was pretty boring and depressing moreso than 1-3's "bombastic and impressive", which disenfranchised the fans, and they didn't return for 5. Even the special effects are a marked downgrade compared to 1-3, feeling weightless and fake.
3 was also meant to be the movies' finale; Bay only returned for 4-5 because the studio begged him to, and he only agreed in exchange for a guarantee that they'll let him produce a different film he wanted to make more, so of course 4-5 were basically made on autopilot.

>>11513249
Then it would be purple and stinky.
I hate and love Chameleos in MH Rise so much.

>>11513257
just because the nanite stuff was retarded doesn't mean it wasn't basically the opposite writing of movie 2, which had the worst plot
>had no reason
when someone makes a trilogy and says they're done, then a 4 is coming out, it doesn't matter if they 'got him back,' it's gonna have problems. Like you said. And people were aware of that.
it is funny though how, due to that, they had a connected plot. and unfortunately 5 pulled a Rise of Skywalker.

>>11513259
... did you just.. mix up chameleos and chameleon, and then not notice I did a 'chrome' pun and tried to make up my own legendary monster? I don't get this response
also yeah, thank god they made slotting so much simpler and easier in that game, you just have a few bitch slots and you make layouts to fill those with poison res or whatever. then he's merely -hard-

>>11513244
Based and truthpilled. I own Haslab Starsaber and see no reason he shouldn't be reissued. To say otherwise is to be a shithead of the highest order, the literal "THAT KID" that everyone hates because they think they're special because they have a toy others don't. You are a pathetic, short dick, shell of a human to act like that.

>>11513261
eh, agree to disagree. I've still not heard any criticisms of RotF's [[[plot]]] that I really agreed with; most just complained that the humor was too juvenile for them, and didn't elaborate further, which like... okay, but that isn't the plot though? And also subjective, the stupid juvenile humor is exactly why i think it's the perfect afternoon popcorn flick lol.
Honestly I'd argue DotM had the worst plot of the trilogy, the whole moon conspiracy retcon kinda raises too many questions about 1 and 2 lol, and [Mikaela getting hastily written out, and the conclusion to her character arc had to be performed by a rando new blonde girl, because the actor got recast] was very obvious and stuck out. I also preferred the comic version's ending being more vague about Megatron desu, rather than them making amends or Megatron dying.

My problems with AoE admittedly are more conceptual; I think the humans treating transformers as soulless machines this far in (and being unable to tell the difference between factions) is a bit hard to believe, as well as NEST's dissolution. I also blame 4-5 for kinda kickstarting the "lol jaded murder Optimus" meme, when in 1-3 the most he did was kill actual psychopaths who dreamed of enslaving/destroying entire planets (a bit gloriously for the camera, but still). And love or hate the 1-3 humans, but they worked for what they were - the 4-5 humans were just terrible assholes. All the Autobots become unfun, insufferable jerks, too, on that note.

The Haslab was never good. Is a horrible mess of panels witch shit proportions and a gigantic backpack that fights you every step of the transformation. A titan class Unicron can potentially be better than that if they sacrifice the looks of the planet mode to give us a better robot with less kibble.

>>11513174
No idea where you got that idea. Studio Series is no different than other Generations lines when it comes to size class and price point.

Goddammit... All I want from ToyHax is that they make a decal based on the other Micro Trailers, but they half-assed the whole thing on their alternate design! Fuck this, who wants to make their own

Anon, 99% of Transformers media is bottom of the barrel-tier. Good Transformers stories are the exception rather than the rule. People like Transformers because it gives us fun robot toys and the occasional show/movie/game/comic that's enjoyable, even if not actually all that good. Like, seriously- your post applies to the majority of Transformers series.
>G1shit was propped up by breaindead normies who only watch TV to see crappy animated fights and beg their parents to buy them another toy. Once the sheen wore off and there were other shows to watch the normies decided to watch something else, while G1sharts clung to their shitpiles like maggots.
See?
In fact, some of the few Transformers series that actually ARE quite good- Animated, Beast Wars, Skybound for example- attract hatedoms from other fans, muttering "not muh transformers 'cuz trukk not munkky/too anime/too serious etc".
Singling out the movies for being dumb action nonsense to sell toys in a franchise that has ALWAYS been dumb action nonsense to sell toys is absurd.

No, it really doesn't. Most of the G1 cartoon is worse, I'd argue; at least the robots in the Bay movies are well-animated.

>>11513417

Yeah, I get why some people aren't crazy about how hollow and light he feels, but he looks badass so I don't care. Excited to fuck with the base mode later, but I think I've messed around with him enough for today (getting those ears in was a motherfucker).

>>11513413

This is hilarious considering how many G1ers were whining about TFA raping their childhood when it first started airing. Beast Wars is still number one with a bullet for me, but TFA is a worthy contender as well.

>>11513423
He doesn't feel hollow or light at all. I think people bitching about hollow don't know hollow refers to fucking gaps in shit for no reason. He's a base modeformer, of course he's going to have places inside him that open up into places you can put shit.

>>11513413

Nah, that's Bayfan's. They've been soifacing since it was announced that hideous dog shit is coming back.

>>11513427

I totally agree with that and was honestly surprised by how hefty he is based on those complaints. He's also my first Titan though, so I don't really have a point of comparison for what they're supposed to feel like in hand.

>>11513426
Agreed, though I will say Micron Legend is pretty good too. Definitely starts slowly, but really gets solid as it goes along.

>>11513436
The others feel similar for their sizing. He's on the smaller end of a titan, which is why he's cheaper and comes with all those blast effects.

People are already whining he's got some toy details. Personally I can't wait for another Bruticus. Also Lazerwave is an insufferable retard and he deserves all the ridicule.

>>11513454

>Star Convoy is such a good figure. An actual worthwhile update.
It would be perfect if they didn't fuck up things that were pertectly fine in the original toy. It's like they went out of the way to mess with some playability aspects that should have been easy wins just by doing things as always.

I absolutely hate those dumb peg blocks on the inside of the legs. It's a freaking trailer, the floor should be flat so you can roll vehicles in and out and have figures there in base mode. There's like a dozen ways to secure the microtrailer inside the legs without using such a dumb method. But the stupidity goes beyond that, because even if those weren't there, the microtrailer would still be unable to go out of the doors because it's slightly too tall! Seriouly, what the fuck were they thinking?

Not a fan of the Zodiac using space in the middle of the floor of the command room, There's a ledge on the back wall, just attach it there. Bam, now it looks better, more centered in the chest and isn't wasting space that figures should use to stand in base mode.

The right arm being unable to be posed correctly in base mode like the original toy so the shoulder gun rotation is level with the grould is also bullshit. As is the whole roller component. They should have designed it so it stays completely flat when opened, more space to play instead of these back ramps and could be attached to the corner of one of them so the whole thing is positioned in a way that leaves enough space for the rotating turret to work without having to move the arm out of the way.

I like the toy, specially that it's full of real ratchet joints with the perfect strangth, but it really bothers me that they failed on those ridiculously easy things. It really hurts my overall enjoyement of the figure.

>>11513505
Honestly I don't like how it looks reversed so I'm happy they did it like this. I like that they kept Vortex pointing down though.

Nah, now his shoulders will look really uneven

>almost a decade old
>has been on-sale for $15 since 2019
How

>>11513505
>>11513542
I think they did it to match CR Baldigus/Ruination's design

>>11513567
So how long until the Legacy United mold is released in this deco?

>>11513560
You're thinking of "reversed" vertically. I think these anons are talking about how the G1 Blast Off mold combiner peg is on the roof of the vehicle and not the robot's chest. You can see that on that Baldigus pic too, notice that the shuttle windows are facing the combiner head.

>>11513581
Oh, ok, that makes sense now

Won a G1 Thunderclash at auction for $70. Im on cloud 9 baby

>>11513528
Which Big O is that and is it any good? Is it BMC?

The Hearts of Steel Bumblebee and Megatron 2-pack and Void Rivals Jetfire are both up on Pulse, though Jetfire is a Premium exclusive.

>>11513656
Thunderclash is a bit of a grail of mine, too pussy to go in on one though cos of the GPS

>>11513686
It’s up for non premium members now, go get ‘em

>>11513686
Jetfire's showing up, but not Bee and Megs. Guess I'll just keep refreshing. I feel like this is easily the better of the hearts of steel 2-packs, so I'm expecting it to go fast.

>>11513672
>Which Big O is that and is it any good? Is it BMC?
Max Gokin. Other than the rubber joint covers cracking (should really change those with cloth) it's fine, and the biggest articulated Big O ever released.
There's more easy to find and cheaper alternatives though.

>>11513656
>>11513688
My first Transformer. GPS isn'tthat much of a problem with him as those parts are pretty chunky, mine is still fine after 33 years.

>>11513756
>joints cracking
Fuck... what's a good and cheap alternative, I only know about the expensive Moderoid

>>11513758
>joints cracking
Joint COVERS cracking, the actual joints are fine, thankfully. Soft plastic sucks.

>>11513741
not showing up for me, either. but this is my first time using pulse so many i'm doing it wrong? I'm under "shop all Transformers" so you'd think that would be good enough, but people suck at interfaces these days.

>>11513758
If you find the Moderoid expensive better forget about getting a Big O, the Gokins are way more expensive (the SoC was 150 and the Max 250 dollars when they were relesed, good luck finding them for non-scalper prices now).
Flame Toys anounced one two months ago but it's going to be expensive too for sure.

>>11513766
On the Comic-Con page, anon.

>>11513656
I’ve always found the later day G1 and G2 original characters so interesting just because they never got a lot of focus. I also love all the concept characters that never got made, like Hyperdrive, who was supposed to be above Thunder Clash. He’s basically the western equivalent of Big Bang in a way

>over a 100 money units for jetfire without his raft of accessories
Interesting pack but that's a bummer

>>11513769
Thank you kind anon. I would have completely missed out on it.

AND UNICRON

WE COMIN' FOR YOU NIGGA!

>>11513760
Ah sorry, ok that's much better, I think. Replacing them with cloth still seems a bit unsightly though, but I guess black enough cloth wouldn't be that noticable, or would even compliment the aesthetic.
>>11513767
Man... they made a pretty cheap and small Gunbuster, why can't they do that for Big O and Giant Robo

Bruh

>>11513454
Frame bros we won again

>>11513782
>Man... they made a pretty cheap and small Gunbuster
Wich one?

Did anyone here get Onyx Prime. What material did they use for the wings.

>>11513783
Guess plans must have changed, last time they said he'd be like the recent Galvatron release.

>>11513783
Late to the party bros we can’t stop winning
>>11513789
Here’s hoping tripredicus could be used as a Violengiguar remold…I need me all of those Emperors of destruction

>>11513783
Why. Kingdom is like... perfect except maybe the face.

>>11513828
Vehicle mode ain’t perfect, the trailer needs to be even more connected with the car. Rodimus also likely needs to be bigger to fit with the new leader scaling. I definitely didn’t expect them to completely overhaul like they say here though.

>>11513794
Moderoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No waist rotation due to combination, and it can't do the Gainax pose, but other than that it's alright

I don’t like how Galvatron came out and wouldn’t mind a redo for the 86 line. Less tech greeble. Maybe a few cm bigger.

>>11513840
Just checked, not a fan of the added panel lines and innacurate chest shape but seens decent enough.
I own both versions of the SoC and the Revoltech (one of the worst imports I've ever bought, that thing SUCKS).

>>11513789
based, would love a magnaboss that didn't crumble in my hands

>>11513845
Yeah, it's a budget Gunbuster and the only one I have, it looks better when pane-lied but I agree that having less panels to begin with would have been nicer. My beloved Moderoid Tetsujin 28 has ZERO panel lines and he's great (articulation is meh but he's also a dumpy 50s robot)
Are revoltechs not good, I keep hearing mixed things about them

>>11513862
Revoltech’s were great for the decade they came out in 2006-12. After that other companies, kind of succeeded in making a articulated figure..

Remembering when Revos cost only $20-30

>>11513789
Someone needs to let Evan know that he can get both Magnabosses in one go if they just include redecoed heads for the Prowl/Lio Junior head and Magnaboss's face. The molds are identical, it’s just the plastic and painting colors on those parts that are the major differences. Santon/Ironhide and Skywarp/Silverbolt are almost completely identical, the Japanese release just has slightly more paint, which should be the standard

>>11513862
Old revo had some really big stinkers, back when they were starting to experiment and expand to other properties, there was some very poorly designed stuff
These days they're generally really good toys with the best articulation on the market, but they still struggle with some annoying QC issues that you don't want on an $80+ import

>>11513292
It just came off weird when I'm like "textured silver walls? you skinned a metal lizard" and then you go "no because then it would be purple and smelly" because of MH having a themed monster... real nonsequitur.

>>11513880
Hey, wait a minute…

>>11513276
Oh yeah there's a ton of fuckups who have very shallow 'DURRR IT WAS TOO JUVENILE' opinions that they should really use on themselves, but objectively it really had the most threadbare writing. it was during a writer's strike. They had no idea what to do, the pacing was all over the place. RotF had the best character designs and perhaps the best villain, but as a story it's a total mess.
>DotM retcons things
oh yes, in terms of which story is the most out of nowhere, that takes the cake. I guess it really depends what we mean by 'bad writing' and for that matter 'writing.'
>AoE was hard to believe
like i said, worst human moments in the series.
but movie 5? best humans. absolute best. then 1st movie. Those are the ones with the best human parts.

>>11513328
isn't it though? They're all different sizes, not stuck to size classes at all. They actually put an effort into relative scale. and when their listings come up, they don't have the size class listed, do they?
>>11513331
I have to think that, of all the toy customization stuff, a decal printer is by far the simplest thing to acquire, and then you just feed it simple 2d image files that are easy to make.

>>11513391
Skybound?
>>11513528
>IN THE NAME OF PRIMUS*

>>11513426
as a huge weeb, I hate to say it, but the three fully american/canadian transformers shows are by far and away the best. The anime ones have good looking stuff here and there, but they're usually either too dry, too silly, or somehow both. I've seen tons of anime that I would love if we had a transformers series that felt similar to, but they've never done one. Even Prime, with its flaws, still has such a perfect mood and tone and its own unique look that only has a couple things about it that I'd change across the board (faces mostly)

>>11513810
The large golden "feathers" are softer plastic but not nearly as soft as what's used for blast effects, or The Fallen's spear for example. I think it might be some kind of vinyl.

>>11513741
>>11513766
They're not listed under the normal tab - they're under the ComiCon Exclusive section.

>>11513828
Nah, Kingdom had plenty of issues:
-Oldman face
-Poor color separation that they needed to fix with paint, the Hot Rod released around that same time didn't have that issue.
-Some of the paint just falls off at the slightest touch. The red paint near the canopy is notably scratch prone.
-The connection for the backpack is not only too tight, the fold out section for the backpack is also misaligned, making the paint issue on the canopy even harder to avoid.
-The wrap around feature on the legs is hindered by the pins, forcing you to flex the plastic to fold the wheels away.
-The pathetic chest.

So yeah, this guy was almost a great figure.

>>11513880
Oh good, can't wait for Predaking: frameslop edition

>>11513783
Good news for me, I never bought Kingdom Rodimus. I’m still using the fucking Henkei mold with the Fansproject kit.

>>11513910
I just hope he still includes all the extra stuff the Kingdom version did. I know he won’t, but let me dream, dammit

>>11513914
Ya with that height increase, probably not happening lol. I do wonder if the trailer “features” will remain the same

>>11513922
>>11513936
wrong reply…

>>11513922
Depends entirely on how they make him. If they go pure Cartoon, he'd be a full trailer that turns into a robot, so I'd expect an almost Magnus sized guy.

>>11513892
>tfw you realize the current team gets a bunch of their ideas straight from this thread
Been telling you guys this for years.

>>11513956
Then you'd think they'd get something fucking right every once in a while

>>11513770
that is indeed very cool. what does he use the air intakes for? He seems to have both supersonic turbines and diverterless rectangles..

>>11513789
I have low expectations, but.. good to hear.

>>11513968
yeah i think these are just all ideas we've all had for many years. and things 3P has done too.

>>11513893
>RotF was threadbare
Sure, I guess so. Thing is, I felt 07's plot was a bit basic too, but I don't really consider that an issue for it. With these films like, as long as it's coherent and doesnt make me step back and question it, then I think it's fine lol; they're vehicles to take us between setpieces, really. I guess the biggest critique for RotF I can give is its plot got a little muffled behind the setpieces, so to speak? Once the whole worldwide-adventure angle picks up, it's easy to forget the core of this film started with "oh yeah, this is about Sam wanting to live a normal college life", which makes it feel silly when you go "oh yeah, right" by the time the film's ending calls back to it lol. Also that the film drags a bit during the midpoint.
>Movie 5? Best humans. Absolute best.
Lol I have a friend who's obsessed with the film, keeps sending me the scene of Megatron going WRETCHED HUMAN blasting Anthony Hopkins and flying away. I hadn't seen it since release, maybe I will sometime for a laugh.

>>11514014
It's using a frame, right?

>>11514020
No. Razorclaw is like twice the size of the other Predacons.

>>11514014
Seeing robots drawn by Akira Amemiya is always a blessing.

>>11514020
You tell me

>>11514029
Good, might be the first non 3P I get in like 13 years. Definitely has 3P energy.

I still want an another Hasbro Predaking. Voyagers for the four, Leader for Razorclaw.

>>11514004
07's plot was... beginner-friendly. The human stuff was the main focus, and it had a lot of moving parts.
RotF is a lot of "we gotta go here. now we gotta go there. oh my god now we really gotta go there" and it just wasn't there. Additionally, it WASN'T very coherent. i love that they gave us palette-swap decepticons for the first time, but they neglected to make that explicit, so it was easy to get confused and think "hang on, they were fighting jackhammer guy over here, but here he is over there.."
I still LIKED it, and I had a blast seeing it with my dad, who had.. about two-thirds of a blast. He was happy to have beer and I was happy to see my dad. But uh.. Basically, what I really want is a recut. Go over it again, I guarantee there is a better movie hidden in there.
also this is just me being a little weird but.. they need to subtitle all the robots. they all speak in such heavy vocoding that you don't even know when they're speaking english or cybertronian. Jetfire was the most audible of all of them.

>>11514032
that's a fine way to store the hands and feet

>>11513893
best humans or not, 5 was a garbage dump of a movie

>>11514054
Yeah, citing best humans for a Transformers movie is like praising the soundtrack at a sports game. Not really what I'm fucking here for, man.

On one hand ecstatic that they're not doomed to now-nonexistent core class hell, on the other, jesus do they need to be on anniversaries? Super Link's 25th is 2029, and Beast Machines' 30th is 2030. Can't we have like, anything before then?

>(Skids & Mudflap) it's not the right time, ... eventually
That's a very bizarre way of phrasing it. What WOULD be the right time...?

>>11514061
Sneak them into a boxset.

>>11514050
Perhaps, but I don't really know how they'd get around all those issues specifically? I'd cut down the in-between travel time, but the parts where they actually are visiting Agent Simmons' deli, or they're at the Air & Space Museum, or they're doing stupid shit in Egypt - those are some of my favorite scenes in the movie lmao.
RotF is like, they structured it like a videogame almost: they thought of some really cool setpieces or funny character interactions in them, but then the way they connected them was an afterthought. The only way to FIX this would be cutting the scenes entirely to shorten the worldtrip, but then that takes the fun out. (And again personal taste, but i kinda love the chaotic nature of it lol. Having seen it a hundred times since childhood, I also just know the plot by heart now, so it's harder for me to consider this angle, but thanks for pointing it out and making me think about it!)
Same also goes for the clones/repaints, also being a a symptom of the writers' strike - their inclusion was done by people who just didnt think about it beyond movie monsters and forgot they were characters that were dead, and hastily retcon ed them into original dudes lol. An edit COULD change them into more unique designs to be obvious new guys, but then we'd lose Optimus ripping apart Blackout"s face.

Meant to write "Blackout's" in quotation marks, now my anonymous post is incomprehensible, wow is me, aroooo

But yes, 5 is possibly the one I'm the most mad at because it fumbled the hardest. it had the most working for it (1 of course, had the least) and it managed to take advantage of zero of that.

>>11514069
yeah that's the tricky part. what a lot of people call 'filler' is my absolute favorite stuff
but I think the battles could have been cut down a lot without losing anything. especially the DRAMATIC part where the sound effects fade out and it's all dust and brown and slow motion. chuck that, this isn't serious time, this is shit blowin up time

also while recutting, maybe the shakycam and blur could be turned off.
>the dupes were included on accident
the hell you say?

>>11514128
I know a few.. very few.. They are all married, though. Liking transformers is boynip, they can't stay single no matter how they try.

>>11514129
but I never met even one

>>11514154
the few in this state that i've seen are faaaaaat

>>11514156
no fat chicks.
I can deal with crazy but I gotta draw the line somewhere

>>11514158
I can understand how health kinda.. gets away from one.. especially if something went wrong, something not your fault. A thyroid thing, a bad reaction to meds, a genetic disease that requires you to take immunosuppressants that make you fat.. or, in 95% of cases these days (yet nobody talks about this when they're attacking burgers and fries), antidepressants.

But yeah, no. I need a paradox: a thin girl with hips that can bear my children but don't look like they could, tall but with petite features, and likes cold weather.. it aint happening, and we haven't even gotten to 'sanity' yet.

huh? Oh hey, transformers. Uh.. Airazor was real fuckin cute. I definitely patterned most of my self-insert OC characters' girlfriends after her. When I made my own Pizza Cat, when I made my own Digidestined, whatever. She had that wonderful spunkiness while still being chill and rational. Kind of athletic, without being dumb.

>>11514154
I've met one. Bought some figures off her on marketplace. Definitely crazy, lots of those expensive statues and very much a slashfic writer

>>11514156
Not a problem.

>>11513880
I don't why Predaking would use a frame, Devastator didn't and they're both 6 bot combiners.

>>11514050
>>11514069
>>11514151
Wasn't there some shit going on with Hollywood at that the time? I remember hearing/reading that rotf was heavily affected by this.

I still find it baffling that ROTF had Devastator AND gave Optimus a big battle upgrade but didn't have the two fight.

>>11514182
Probably a writer's strike. They seem to happen every few years now and everything gets completely fucked by it.

>>11514192
eeyup.
one of those wicked chicken and egg cycles where the studios were treating their actors like slaves, but the pushback was a classic red pushback where you become huge and corrupt. the only difference between unions and china/russia/vietnam is they didn't do a total overthrow, nor get wiped out. So they have this weird détente where both sides hold power for utterly different reasons, and every so often, really flaccid, pointless fighting breaks out that hurts everyone equally, just as papa Mao approves.

Does anyone even WANT Skids and Mudflap?

>>11514059
Fucking finally an actual answer on beast machines. I'd be totally fine if they just did vehicons and maybe botanica. Don't give a shit about energon though.

>>11514217
I’d like a Screech from the Legacy Skids mold, does that count? (I’d prefer him to be based on the unused Diaclone deco, though)

>>11514061
Just release the bucktooth bastards already. Who gives a fuck about pozzed zoomer trannies on bluesky.

>>11514217
I'd probably buy the ice cream truck version if it was done well, they would have to be two voyagers so it'll never happen.

>>11514228

>>11513391

they did something weird with her, they would most likely do the same for Boat Annika.

>>11514248
The ice cream truck is the only version of the twins anyone cares about

it's funny how just the name and specified concept of vehicons is like, a reaction to transformers being animals now, so it sounds incredibly silly. then japan turns and does the same thing, calling the next show 'transformers car robots' like IT IS NOT ANIMALS ANYMORE OKAY? except the bad guys.

>>11514261
shitty smartcars in shitty 2009 avocado and copper color schemes, gosh, what a shock those weren't popular.
cars fucking suck cock now. none of them even try to look a little cool. you'd think aerodynamics would result in space-age aerospace-ass concept cars of yesteryear, but no. it results in featureless blobs that feel like they were made 'safe' to not upset or excite deranged children.

>>11514266
Remember what cars looked like just back in 2005?

>>11514190
OOOOONE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

>>11514270
well not like that, but better!
cars are like music, you never get sick of the ones from the 60s, but the 80s was the most sophisticated and it was all downhill from there.

>>11514370
Tom Kenny was doing the same role he did in Mission Hill. One of two racially ambiguous gangstas (the other being Scott Menville), on account of race doesn't really factor in. anybody can be a gangsta in a shitty public school.
If he based this voice on Beetle, then he's been doing that impression for a hot minute. It does sound like him. But Scott Menville's guy sounded even MORE like Beet.
