>>11516146 (OP)
finally a thread that doesn't suck

first post for cyberworld enjoyers

>>11516151
It's only just started, there's time for it to suck.

>>11516153

>>11516134
sadly very likely to happen, even though the whole point was 'this sucks, beast wars would be better' and then he invents beast wars

>>11516134
In-universe if this toyline had been made do you think they would have made Twin Tower bots?

would you guys buy a collaborative family guy transformer except it's the rowboat from that one sketch

>>11516174
Unironically, yes. stupid but smile worthy cutaway.
>you now remember megatron griffin

>>11516184
since collab figures have to come in two packs would the second figure just be a repaint of deluxe class devastation Megatron (look, we all know it's coming) with Meg's head? or would they try and make the Petercopter

>>11516190
Ah darn that's a tough call. Maybe Negatron (that was his name, I had to go and watch the clip for a laugh) and Megatron Griffin repaint, or Neg and the petercopter with a meg headmaster/target master like triggerhappy and blowpipe.

no no wait you guys,
what better crossover could there be?

>>11516174
>not Family Guy collab Barrage

Speaking of Collaborative, it’s weird that neither Hasbro or Takara has done this guy yet. It’s probably the most obvious reuse of the United mold, but we still don’t have it. Maybe it’s a Pepsi thing

Has anyone made a size comparison with SS86 Devastator and the downsized Combiner Wars Devastator KO? Curious how they scale with each other.

>>11516215
>DiCola went unreasonably hard for the 86 movie

Autobot city battle/Megatron must be stopped/escape is genuinely such a good three tracks. They work so damn well together and I'm so confused as to why the autobot city battle motif isn't used in any later transformers projects to my knowledge

>>11516221
They hit so incredibly hard to the point you can envisage the scenes, or the in-betweens of what went on during the events, such incredible tracks
>They work so damn well together and I'm so confused as to why the autobot city battle motif isn't used in any later transformers projects to my knowledge
At most, or of what im personally aware of, you can hear leitmotif or bits and pieces of them stripped back throughout season 3, but that's all I can tell you on it.

So I was dusting my collection today when I stopped to take T30 Arcee off the shelf and mess with her a bit, honestly can't remember the last time I did. Despite the fact I actually don't like Arcee at all (I bought the figure when I was just buying entire lines) I think the 2014 figure is actually really nice on its own.

I didn't get the Studio Series retool despite (or maybe in spite of) constantly seeing it on store shelves. Did I miss an opportunity to replace the 2014 figure with a better one?

>>11516221
>>11516226
What about Angry Birds Transformers.

>>11516230
I gotta admit, that's one cool car, and those are cool blades.. . I wouldn't mind the shellforming if just more of her was in the car, but at least I see her thighs are. it's also always interesting seeing a transforming car with usable seats. I recall trying to make, from scratch, a transforming car that a person could reasonably keep piloting from the seat, and it never came out any good
>>11516231
pretty sure they did that, a decade and change ago when angry birds was relevant.

>>11516221
A friend and I had an idea of taking the 86 soundtrack and reimagining it as if it was made in the mid to late 2000s a la the live action movies. We probably won’t end up doing it though

>>11516235
I'd love to see the reverse done

>>11516230
Unless GeeWun accuracy is a sticking point for you then the new figure isn't much of an improvement.

>>11516197
>>11516207
>>11516215
>>11516219
Kino addendum, this helped me pass an important test recently, because I dared.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKjNVVmLCGQ
Thank you Transformers and Stan Bush.

>>11516239
aw man, good for you. college?

>>11516241
Thanks anon, and driving theory. May seem simple enough but I would overthink 2+2 if you put it on a test/exam and I ended up pretty much acing it.

>>11516236
Jablonsky in the style of DiCola? I'd give that a listen.

>>11516242
Oh yeah, I remember taking my driving test. I'm like, this is easy, right? But no, because the facts aren't organized in any logical way. it's literally just memorizing a list of scenarios. When this car is in this spot, when you're this angle from it, he has the right of way, or you do.. stuff no driver uses, so.. yeah, our tax dollars well-spent as usual.

>>11516220
That Devastator was about the same size as Menasor so it's shorter than the SS86 version who is taller.

>>11516251
When I got my downscaled KO set, Bonecrusher's hips were built wrong and he couldn't transform into his robot mode. I ended up selling the set to someone who wanted it more.

>>11516253
someone who didn't care about the robot mode?

>>11516249
I found it weirdly easy but that might be because I studied like crazy and did mock tests leading up to it, but for me the part that nearly killed me was the monkey clicking at stimuli hazard perception element for the uk test, easy enough and straightforward, but it's a janky, unfit system that results in you having to gauge the timing of the system rather than perceiving hazards, you click with no cursor, just click, at the right time (which I can see coming, but the system is like ah ah ah but you didnt click it when WE decided it was one even though im hyper aware of things going on around me and in my field of view)
But to circle back to transformers, I suck at tests, but Dare helped me go in and maul the actual questions section and nail it, and I'm going to slap an autobot decal on a car when I make it onto the road.
Road team tax

>>11516255
I didn't ask questions, I just told them about all the problems (it had more but Bonecrusher's the only one I remember) and they still offered the money which I accepted for it.

It was kind of crap anyway. the SS86 ones I've got so far are so much nicer.

>>11516259
oh that's gross. though in fairness that is a part of driving, which is why, if sanity existed, 98% of people would be refused licenses, and the remaining 2% would have cushy jobs driving the rest of us around. or just robots should do it. robots like transformers.
anyway awesome

>>11516275
I failed the computer-test for my driver's license twice, it was only after opting for a pencil-and-paper test that I passed, because I was able to revise past answers.

Anyway that was back in 2006, haven't had any incidents on the road as of yet.

>>11516259
The only fail I got on my hazard perception were because I apparently clicked too soon. Fucking absurd system. Just out of curiosity, are they back to using video footage or still cgi?

Anyway, back to Transformers. The Fallen is great. I really need to get around to buying some more flame effects for him.

>>11516278
seems weird they'd offer both
>>11516284
i like when a toy encourages the purchase of new accessories that aren't made by the same manufacturer. like i bought a bunch of cool plastic rats to go with my super7 Rat King

>>11516146 (OP)
I'm conflicted. I already got that old third party HoS Bumblebee so I really don't want to invest in a second one, but at the same time I doubt I'll ever have a chance to get that Megatron on its own.

Then again I was also pretty underwhelmed with the Optimus and Starscream set so maybe it's a moot point.

>>11516321
>Then again I was also pretty underwhelmed with the Optimus and Starscream set so maybe it's a moot point.
The only issue is the size
They're both really solid deluxes

>>11516339
I wouldn't say solid. They're okay as molds but they both feel pretty rickety to me.

New seeker mold has a waist and wrist swivel?
86 Megs doesn't have treads backpack and includes wrist swivel?
Is 86 the new gold standard?

>>11516251
>Friendship ended with BRUTICUS Now SALMENASOR is my best friend

>>11516351
>Is 86 the new gold standard?
Always has been

>>11516196
Saw this at the flea market for $80. Box was beat to hell but he wouldnt go lower than 70. I ended up passing. Did I make a mistake?

>>11516351
The gold standard is always an MP or a 3P MP, depending on character.

>>11516192
Optima's Prime? He's Jewish?

>>11516221

The Movie has such a good time OST in general, but I've been obsessed with Autobot City Battle for months since rewatching it. It's so fucking good and creates such an amazing sense of dread and urgency for entirety of that sequence. Which makes The Touch feel that much more awe inspiring and triumphant when it finally kicks in. You really feel like Optimus did the impossible when Kup says 'Prime did it, he turned the tide...'. Damn it, I wanna rewatch it again now.

>>11516433
Unless it was still in box and you're the kind of guy whose whole deal is displaying in-box figures then no.

>>11516468
anon, he said he passed on it.. so the only way that'd be a GOOD choice is if he was a displaying-in-box guy because the box was beat to hell.

>>11516196
>Maybe it’s a Pepsi thing
It is. They need to re-obtain the Pepsi license to make this guy, and let's face it: modern Hasbro is far too cheap for that, and since Pepsi is American-based, Takara won't be the ones reaching out to them for it. He's never happening again.

>>11516230
I have the Nightbird version of this mold. She's great.

>>11516284
Get tamashi ko effects from Aliexpress. They are more blood-red than fire red but it still works.

>>11516146 (OP)
I'VE GOT HEARTS OF STEEL

>>11516529
you have multiple hearts because you are FAT?

>>11516196
Would love to have a Pepsimus Prime to go along my Pepsiman.

>>11516354
Eh, very much depends on the character.
86 Bumblebee is a huge downgrade from the Netflix/Earthrise mode.

i finally have a reason to dig out these Rescue Bot targetmasters from a decade ago.

forgot their names so I'll just call them Jizzer and Cumstain.

Sadly their weapon/tool modes got worse later on

>>11516559
Anon's from the Shattered Glass universe again. Here in the regular universe 86 Bumblebee blows that shitty Netflix mold out of the water.

>>11516559
>86 Bumblebee
I mean, that's hubcap rather than bumblebee

>>11516559
netflix mold has partsforming

86 doesn't

I don't care what lazy eyebrow said about hinges and stuff, partsforming is cringe.

I will admit that Netflix bee had a better vehicle mode but I prefer the 86 bee robot mode since it has smaller feet

>>11516197
Thank you kind stranger. You gave me nostlagia hit like only few others have ever managed.

>>11516623
>partsforming is cringe
Literally any TF that isn't holding their weapon from start to finish partsforms. Plus the modulators and Wild Kings are some of the best toys to come out in a while.

>>11516677
>Literally any TF that isn't holding their weapon from start to finish partsforms
shut the fuck up

>>11516677
weapon storage is different from an entire section of the alt mode needing to be removed and replaced, retard.

>>11516688
>calls it weapon "storage"
>look inside box
>just a gun plugged nonsensically onto a car roof
Call me when you have actual weapon storage on most figures, retard. Otherwise, it's partsforming same as pulling the roof off a car.

>>11516683
>>11516688
You know who else was hated for telling the truth? A guy named Jesus.

>>11516692
>it's partsforming same as pulling the roof off a car.
A gun accesory is not the same as an integral part of the car. The fact you're seriously trying to compare the two is mental gymnastics if the highest order.

>>11516688
>weapon storage
Do tell.

>>11516623
It's lame but the rest of the toy is so much better looking than the SS86 I can accept it. Though I'd argue the partsforming would have been unnecessary if they'd aped the original MP closer rather than turning the transformation "backwards" for seemingly no reason (note the chest, with the windscreen at the top instead of the bottom on the Netflix).

>>11516698
>that's the best they could do for wings
Are you fucking kidding me? Who buys this shit?

>>11516623
>86 doesn't do the thing I've decided arbitrarily matters the most when rating figures
>oops guess I win tee hee

>>11516730
The fact that the smaller deluxe did this better 12 years earlier tells you all you need to know about Hasbro.

>>11516688
It's only different because it matters to you and you say it's different.
Me, I don't care. Netflix mold looks better as a bot and as a car, seethe.

>>11516756
86 Bumblebee is crap, but a partsforming Bumblebee is ass too. Its one of the simplest designs

>>11516757
Hasbeen is such a garbage company. I'll never forgive them for botching the relaunch of heroscape.

>>11516761
Isn’t robosen bumblebee just the netflix toy without partsforming? How come they could do it there

>>11516677
Modulators and Wild King aren't real partsformers. The Wild King guys are small accessories that become extra armor, and the modulators are supposed to be mixed and matched with each other -- they're more comparable to something like Mugenbine than a partsformer.
>>11516730
Legacy had really poor vehicle modes in general. AOTP seems to be fixing that, fortunately.

>>11516772
Non-Hasbro designers

>>11516146 (OP)
Where's my revolver Megatron?

>>11516779
Gee, would I rather have a badass canon that could clear a hole through a dozen men or some dinky shitass S&W that I can't even fully load unless I'm mid-gunfight?

>>11516730
>>11516757
It is accurate to the in-game model, so blame whoever designed that.
>>11516772
Budget, probably. Remember that the first Robosen Bee couldn’t even transform, we had to wait until the second one for that. Heck, even the Lego Bee partsforms

>>11516780
why not both?
I'd buy that two pack. Don't really care for Cho-Cho Bumblebee.

>>11516782
Not really, the proportions are off in other areas (the cockpit, nose section)
so if they're gonna fudge it, they should've altered the wings so they don't look gimpy. the toy winds up looking like a brick because not everything matches the game model.

>>11516780
Megatron doesn't need to be loaded. he's MEGATRON!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!

>>11516788
!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>11516697
The fact you're trying to mental gymnastics hideous bullshit hanging off a surface tells me you're a fucking retard and can't see they're functionally the same thing.

>>11516791
That was my first post about this matter. You guys are trying to completely change the narrative to accessories looking like ass when attached to the vehicle mode, but that's has nothing to do with the actual discussion. The whole point is that having to remove a big chunk of the car to transform the toy is not the same as a fucking gun accesory, and you're a retard for trying to argue otherwise.

>>11516823
>having to remove a whole chunk of plastic to transform is completely different from having to remove a whole chunk of plastic to transform

>>11516825
This guy showers fully dressed

UH BABY GOT BACK

OHHHHH OHHHHH

>>11516839
But no tank mode.

>>11516848
But he has tank treads on his legs

>>11516858
Yeah; the reissue with the back filler can't do the tank mode though, the chest was retooled and now it's too wide to do it properly.

>>11516848

No, but he has a pretty cool gun for someone who clams to be a pacifist.

>>11516869
Please, that’s nothing

>>11516869
when did he ever claim to be a pacifist?

>>11516880
afaik the only pacifist in the original G1 cast was one of the protectobots

preceptor was a scientist who preferred to not get into Frontline combat, that didn't mean he was a pacifist that wouldn't fight if needed

>>11516880
>>11516897

My memory of the episode of G1 where they went into Megatron's body Fantastic Voyage style is that Brawn spends all of it shitting on Perceptor for being a pacifist. It might have just been for being a nerd though.

>>11516860
Considering it was pretty fanmodey originally, I don't mind too much; he can still do it, it's just the legs don't tab into the chest anymore.

>>11516909
How long until we get a toy of Megatron's evil brain impulses.

>>11516897
Does Cerebros count as a pacifist? He hated the idea of having to fight and had to be convinced by Spike

>>11516215
>>11516219
>>11516221
>>11516226
>>11516239
Not ashamed to admit I listen to the soundtrack regularly. Dare is permanently on my gym playlist. I remember downloading DiCola’s early versions of the score (Protoform sessions?) like 20 years ago and thought they were just as good.
>>11516244
Jablonsky in DiCola style would be very interesting. Cool re-recordings are always welcome.

>>11516869
>all those painted parts that will rub
>the whole fucking chest is red paint
How does Hasbro continually fuck up the simplest things.

>>11516909
Yeah Brawn was just shitting on him because he wasn't "tough" enough but there were a lot of episode where he was fighting.

>>11516926
EEEEEEEVIL brain impulses

Do you have more pics?

>>11516897
a guy who will fight when necessary, but doesn't like to, is just called 'sane'

>>11516927
I should have specified I meant '1984-85' since post movie I believe there were one or two pacifists in the latter years of G1. I think Cerebros was a pacifist, though.

which season of G1 had the best theme?

I think it was season 2

>>11517006
Easily season 3

New arrivals, had Cyclonus for a while but finally got his chest repaired.

>>11517006
definitely season 2

season 3 / 4 is ass

>wax and wane over SS Ultra Magnus for 2 years
>finally get one for msrp
>hes got some huge weird splotch on his chest that wont come off
Im so fucking sick of this shit. My luck with QC has been atrocious this year. Damn near every figure Ive picked up all year has something wrong with it

>>11517028
There is nothing premium about Studio Series figures.

>>11517006
It’s definitely season 2. Season 3/4 is alright, I like the vocal parts they added. Season 1 got screwed by broadcast editing cutting parts of the song out

>>11517006
This is a valid discussion. Let me check a comparison video.
>season 1
man it doesn't wait even a second to let the concept breathe. very brassy, oldtimey feeling
>season 2
oh hell yes synths. nice and upbeat. But the singing is a little clipped.
>season 3
it's going a little experimental, but it's basically a greatest hits of everything that didn't work about the previous two. It seems to get better when it was recycled and slightly rerendered for the syndication seasons?
yeah Ima say 2. But this is giving me Doctor Who theme flashbacks where so many of them seem the best yet not one ever feels like it got it RIGHT

.. of course we do have the movie version which is best.

>>11517032
>inspect the figure closer
>it looks like someone at the factory dripped glue on his chest and buffed it off
>inspect even closer
>its got little scuffs and scratches all over it
Theyre fucking everywhere. I havent even freed him from the package and I already see a stress mark, on top of all the other issues. The cherry on top is he is covered with dust and little plastic shavings. Im very disappointed

>>11517028
At least your paint error is on the chest. This is how my Carnivac arrived.

>>11517106
>look very closely at other people’s photos of the figure
>a bunch of them are messed up in exactly the same spots
Seems like a widespread issue to me. Looks like a bunch of hooligans built these. Although I guess I am extra special with a free stress mark straight out of the box bc I dont see anyone elses with that issue

>>11517116
Lmfao thats really awful bro. Dang. Well, my Magnus’ face definitely has several little defects like 90% of transformers figures these days but that one takes the cake

What was the twitter drama today

>>11517137
Thews nudes leaked

>>11517068
I've always felt that season 1 felt.. mourning? it's almost.. sad. It just works with the idea that The Transformers are stranded on earth and have no contact with Cybertron, fearing the planet might fully be dead after these millions of years. Of course this idea doesn't last for very long, but still.

>>11517144
Now he'll really be Micronus now.

>>11517151
This post confuses me, it seems intending to disparage the season 3 theme but outlines exactly why it's fucking awesome.

>>11517229
I think you guys are just unlucky sometimes. I haven’t had any major issues with any of my figures so far. The worst I’ve had is a small smear of paint on my 86 Jazz and my Ferak having a gun that was a bit loose
>>11517230
All I can ever think about when I hear that is the scene where House gets a new cane

you can see why that part would be divisive, though, right?

>>11517116

It really didn't really bad if not for the fact the figures wasn't supposed to lool like that

>>11516351
>>11516354
It's not so much that SS86 has higher standards, it's just that they've been using it as an excuse to make what are essentially 2.0s of post-Siege toys, sometimes at higher price points. It's easy to look like the better line if you're just using the mainline as a beta test, but then again it's not like SS86 Bee or the new seekers mean they thought the ER Cliffjumper and seeker molds were not good enough when they did use them in SS86 before.

Trick question. 86 movie has the best opening theme.

So what do you think, will Devastation Sideswipe release with his proper head, or with Red Alert's head.

Worst case scenario I can swap its head with the head from my Siege Sideswipe, but I'd REALLY prefer to keep my Siege Sideswipe intact...

>>11517333
He'll definitely have Red Alert's head. It's safer to assume Hasbro cocked things up again.

>>11517337
I'm still waiting for an SG Skylynx retool/repaint.

>>11516926
that's his sperm.

>>11517333
Sunstreaker's head

There is too much involved with the production and assembly of a modern Transformers figure. You cannot expect a 3rd worlder to cast and assemble these figures properly. To buy a Transformer is to accept that it will be imperfect. Hasbro has only had 41 years at this business. Thats like the blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things.

>>11517390
Third party are literally designed by chink engineers, funded by groups of less than 15 people and are manufactured in spoon factories at night and they shit all over Hasbro.

>11517390
in your attempt to be sarcastic, you actually did argue the opposite point a little. we can't expect anything anymore.

>>11517135
looks like a tamiya car

>>11517394
If a 3P figure goes over budget they can simply charge more. If it won't fit in the box the last release did, they can simply design a bigger box. If it falls and breaks into a thousand chokeable pieces that a toddler could choke on,they can still sell it. These sort of logistical issues are things Hasbro has to consider that 3P doesn't.

>>11517396
>we can't expect anything anymore.
So, expect no expectations.

>>11517401
That Devastator is $360 shipped, thats pretty close to studio series pricing. Also size class autism literally doesnt need to exist. G1 was perfectly content with making each character it's own unique price point. As for safety standards, 4th party uses the hasbro approved designs with better paint at twice the size for a fraction of the price.

>>11517307
I meant the missing spot looks like those cel shaded effect that dc direct likes to do.

I doubt in hand the look would be that good though.

Why the fuck did the optimus hearts of iron sell out. I wanted to finally get one and now they're 160+ on ebay

>>11517460
The day the Megatron and Bumblebee 2-pack went up. People who held off initially decided they wanted the full set after the second guys came around, but by this time people have already bought a bunch of them...and since Prime and Starscream were also an exclusive and therefore made in a small batch...well, you shouldn't have waited. You knew these guys were coming, and what that would mean.

>>11517468
I'll just wait for a restock. I forgot all about Megs and BB

>>11517006

I liked the outro to Season two because of that little extra bit when the Marvel/Sunbow logo appeared at the end.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpybbZhrKQc&ab_channel=Grim2

>>11517473
i miss when marvel did tv

>>11517006

Season 2 is peak. I was a Beastie Boy and didn't grow up with G1, but I can see why kids in the 80s kids would have been hyped as fuck to see that intro start on a Saturday morning.

>>11517324

This anon is actually correct though.

>Grimlock, Megatron, Mixmaster and Scavenger are all shipping from Amazon this week, along with Ultra Magnus from Pulse

Shit, it's gonna be a busy week

>>11517512
I have yet to see an update for mixmaster on my end. I really would have loved to complete fucking devastator this week.

>>11517535
I'd settle for just a Mixmaster so my Devastator could at least stand up until I get a Scavenger.

Made the mistake of preordering from BBTS though.

>>11517538
basically this.
At least I half-assed superion using Vortex as a stand-in and unfortunately one leg door is open, but good enough for now I guess.

>>11517542
At least your Superion can stand up.

My resolve to stick with my upgraded UW Superion is getting shaky. I like the individual AOTP Ariealbots but not the resulting Superion. It's just too bulky and I don't like how the torso or head look. Meanwhile I still very much like how the UW Superion looks (even without the torso upgrade) even if the individual Ariealbots aren't ideal despite the UW paintjobs.

>>11517472
>restock
I'm not entirely sure that's gonna happen. Megs and Bee certainly won't get a restock - they're a ComiCon exclusive item and are only being made in a small batch for the event. Prime and Starscream are listed as 'Pulse Exclusives', and I'm not sure how often - if ever - those get restocked.

>>11517565
I sort of did my own fixes. Not perfect but I did manage to fix some of the issues. I used the clear windows packing and cut it into circles (two per knee) so they'd fit right where the spring would go. So far, the legs hold much tighter. I tried something similar for the left shoulder, but that didn't work so well (the fully extended shoulder can stay up, but the spring used for forward and back motion is held by a post and you don't really get space to reinforce it.

>Bludgeon Nonnef set finally out
>Doesn't include an alt color chest for the Stormbringer version
I fucking knew it. Guess that's another pass.

Why is everything shipping all at once
>Vortex
>Star Convoy
>Onyx
>86 UM
And something that shop wanted to keep as a surprise.

>>11517565
>My resolve to stick with my upgraded UW Superion is getting shaky
So is your UW Superion these days. HIYOOOOO

>>11517746
kek

>>11517746
>erm actually shaky legs on a combiner is G1 toy accurate

>>11517572
No, no, Megstron and Bumblebee are pulse exclusive same as Optimus and Starscream
They were just first available at SDCC

>>11517724
Amazon is shipping pretty much all the latest SS figured EXCEPT Mixmaster.

Just got notified from Amazon that I'm getting SS86 Megatron tomorrow. Anyone else?

>>11517512
>>11517535
Me neither. I'm getting Scavenger tomorrow but no Mixmaster.

I pre-ordered Scavenger and Mixmastwr from Gamestop. They were originally supposed to receive them in September, but since everything else is shipping early (including my Megatron from Amazon which should be here tomorrow) does anyone know if GS is getting their shipments early as well?

>>11517775
For those two specifically I don't know
But I do know the Star Convoy I've had for about a month was supposed to ship in September
It's just whatever these days

>>11517746
Not really, he's pretty solid, aside from his hands not staying attached as tightly as I'd like.

>>11517775

I have Longhaul and Hook on preorder for GS and they still haven't fucking shipped. Silverbolt did ship a little early from them though, so who knows?

FINALLY

AFTER TWO WEEKS OF REFRESHING THE STUPID LISTING NON-STOP I FINALLY GOT IT HAHAHAHA

>>11517888
same here, last night, but I had given up entirely, just saw an ad on google, clicked it and he was in stock

Preorders are up

For a mere 330 USD (plus shipping) you too could own this fine specimen

>>11517888
Personally I'll wait for the cartoon version this time

>>11517940
Assuming it's good, that's pretty reasonable.

>>11517943
what would the difference be?

>>11517951
darker blue plastic as well as eyes and a mouth plate instead of the visor and 'grille' mask

probably also different stomach detailing

>>11517951
Just the head as far as I'm concerned

>>11517940
It's cool but I don't think it's 450 maple leafs cool
And maybe I'm mistaken but from what I can tell he's at the small end of commander in size

>>11517888
I really hope they do a Man-O-War version this time. Do a three pack with BuggyMan and Rest-Q and I’m sold

>>11516562
>>11516563
>>11516566
that's a cool idea. I have the drill dog. the best one imo but only because i love drills

Maybe I'm just retarded, but I feel like Hot Rod's legs are a bitch to latch into the turret.

Uh he's expensive

>>11518082
You anons keep tempting me to buy Star Convoy

>>11517535
Just wait. I think it's gotta be shipping as well. I think Amazon is just moving shit around right now. My Megatron went from Tomorrow to Sunday in a few hours. Important thing is they're coming (hopefully).

>>11518082
So they tried to explain away Star Convoy as being the 13th or whatever but did they ever come up with some nonsense as to why Hot Rod is there too?

>>11518152
Do it, it's a good figure.

>>11518154
Hot Rod is the holder of the Matrix, which is what powers Convoy to become Star Convoy.

Isto é entre tu e eu, nem te atreves a dizer ao jica

Mas sabias que a Helena no ano passado teve um aborto que custou 3000€?

E mais uma pergunta
Quem é que violou a Helena quando era pequena?
O Norberto, um professor de matemática ou de natação?
Foste tú? Até acredito
(Muito obrigado, pedofilo filho da puta chamada Alzira)
A pior parte é que ela deve ter gostado e isso explica tudo

Tenta não violar o bebê neto da tua gold digger, mr Ian Watkins

E também não vou tomar conta de quinta nenhuma
Quando morreres, essa quinta vai para os ciganos
Já estamos a lidar com as maldições da puta da Tia Mila
Já é triste e engraçado ao mesmo tempo ver o parvo do Tio Zé a apodrecer com as merdas dos avós
Queimam essa merda toda
"Legado de senpaiília" é um cancro

Não admira que o Jica vai ao Porto, atirar os pensos da sua mangina para outra parede

George "I built my career saying the most basic opinions and made the world more retarded" Carlin
Grande mistério que algumas pessoas são "vítimas" de violação

Quando o cocó atrai moscas, temos que lidar com as Vios e Reneés, só para alguém queixar que fez demasiados contactos
"sobre socialização" existe

Sou um gamedev com centenas de ideias, o glitterboy João Lúcio não compara

Quando a Helena se matar, lembra de onde vai ser enterrada para poderes viola-la mais uma vez

A senpaiília é a prisão original
Correntes desde o dia 1
És nascido com um perfil predefinido e informação que não escolheste
Já és obrigado a saber nomes de pessoas e levar merdas até quando és pequeno
Mas um dia, tem que haver um recomeço
Já demasiadas pessoas subiram as escadas, mando as escadas a baixo

>>11518154
No, I don’t think so, though the original toy never really explained it beyond “Hot Rod is a Micromaster now and can boost Star Convoy's power”
>>11518164
Actually, it’s the Zodiac that powers Convoy into Star Convoy, the Matrix just adds more power

>>11518154
AOTP has about as much of a story as Legacy did

>>11517409
>Also size class autism literally doesnt need to exist
I agree, I feel like this general would erupt into flames if they announced the end of size clases though. The second we get some c-tier with a 30 dollar figure people will be shitting their pants saying it could've been a deluxe instead
>4th party uses the hasbro approved designs with better paint at twice the size for a fraction of the price
That is true but 4th party also skips a lot of the logistics by literally stealing shit.
They don't need to recoup the cost and time of steel mold making because they steal them, they don't have to deal with shipping shit because they're much smaller scale, they don't need excess money for extra projects because they typically do a handful of KOs at most in relatively small batches

Hasbro has to do all that shit at a much larger scale and has to deal with suits breathing down their backs every step of the process

>>11518174
I still chuckle knowing that the only plot we got for Legacy was in a fucking masterpiece bio.

>>11516146 (OP)
Hearts of Steel Prime should've been a cab-forward locomotive if they were going to insist on giving him a blocky chest.

>>11518219
A bio that references Diakron of all things and establishes it as almost completely separate from Diaclone

>>11518216
"Factory runoff" KOs are incredibly rare nowadays, most 1:1s are made from new molds and OSKOs require more far more steel and plastic to manufacture. You're also forgetting that foreign competitors like Metal Cardbot can produce larger toys with UT era plastic quality, ratchets, diecast metal, include minicons/cassettes at lower prices than hasbro and still make a profit. Their deluxes are 23$ USD and are larger than modern voyagers.

>>11517888
mazel tov :D
these things are such a pain
>>11517945
yeah, in this day and age, that's tiny..

>>11518063
Really for what that is, it's really cool.
>>11518084
AM hitting it again.. wait so does it actually come apart then?

wow I think that's the first legit spambot i've ever seen on 4chan in 16 years.

G2 gang, where you at?

>>11518370
wondering where dreadwind and smokescreen are

>>11518431
New molds are too much development cost. Recolors only.

>>11518431
Hasbro wouldn't be able to do dreadwing and smokescreen properly because they don't do spring loaded missile gimmicks anymore. I think that the spring loaded missiles are integral to the character of dreadwing

>>11518444

>>11518453
I mean, these look decent, but I moreso mean in the modern generations update style where it's based off the original character models

also no huge fuckoff blaster on dreadwind what were they thinking

>>11518431
We have to wait for BW2 Starscream and BB since they’re the ones with fictional appearances

>>11518466
Weren't the originals in used in comic books?

>>11518471
I meant to say animated appearances since that’s what they tend to base releases on, like Tasmania Kid instead of Snarl

Yes yes good job Combiner Wars...

HOWEVER

>>11518476
ooh, the ol' Gräfenberghaken.

>>11518476
I'd say 'CWfags btfo' but they were already almost btfo earlier by 300$ predaking.

and >>11517746.

>>11518476

>>11518476

>>11518471
Not really, they only make a cameo and it was one of the powermasters (darkwing?)who got turned into both Dreadwing and Smokescreen.

>>11518164
Hot rod gave up leadership to fortress Maximus (space ship bruce) because he was a bitch and only in his humility of becoming small did dad allow his bitch ass return to help him out, also it was his best way to be because hot rod/roadimus prime was ass

>>11518502
Then there's the fan Manga, transformers chronicle (to this day I can't find it raw or translated), and the leg comics, which turned them into those movie bots.

>>11518453
There was this guy

>>11518370
I have G2 Grimmy. Do I realllllllllly want to get the other two? I already have the G1 versions.

>>11518520
We don't talk about him.

>>11518370
Hoping against hope that we get new G2 Cyberjets using the same engineering for Maverick.

>>11517940
>>11517973
>TR predaking with add ons still holds up and dose his job on my shelf
>This looks sick as hell and will probably be the definitive PK

>>11518267
real and true

>>11518520
god damn they had some stupid huge weapons in that line

Fools!
It was I, Femscream, as your beloved leader, Optimus prime!
Yahahahaha!

So going by this AT Predaking is actually noticeably smaller than the frame combiners, yeah?

My Megatron shipped. Tracking is for tomorrow. Scavenger still says tomorrow but hasn't updated and still no word on Mixmaster. Pretty excited for Megs.

>>11517940
didnt buy the hot rod but if its a quality product like diaclone then its standard pricing for them I guess

>>11518549
Oh, no.
Say it isn't so.

>>11518549
Rape

I know this base mode is an afterthought made by messing around with the toy, but does it have any features? Any way to interact with other robots?

>>11518568
How tall is Devestator going to be? Going by on line measurements he's the same size and menasor sans upgrades.

>>11518588
Not really, they gutted all the originals minicon features that could have helped with that. I don't believe he got any base connectors either.

>>11518589
If that measure is exact, 30cm to the wingtips, then AT Predaking's head barely even reaches Legacy Menasor's shoulders.

>>11518588
>>11518594
Yeah, it's not worth the trouble to transform it. It doesn't do shit except look tacked on.

>>11518568
>300mm
where i come from we call that a foot. that's Magmatron's height, if you count the head-wings, which.. why would you? what's wrong with you? anyway the individual guys are gonna be pretty small. deluxes, right? with like one voyager?

>>11518598
oh right, wingtips
so basically same as Magmatron then

Man, the new Predaking looks cool, but I heard these use die-cast and plenty of paint, and Puerto Rico is too humid to buy figures with diecast.

>>11518674
die cast isn't stainless?

>Megatron started shipping from BBTS last week
>Finally preordered him last Thursday thinking I could get it early
I'm going to be waiting for September, aren't I?

>>11518679
They rust. My experience with some chogokin figures ended with them getting rust in just a short while. Only MP Prime 2.0 (second release) and SRC Dai Guard didn't develop any issues.

>>11518692
how the fuck do humans survive in a place so humid that metal which, in other climates, goes decades without any issues, will rust there in just the few months (?) they spend in the factory?
isn't Japan humid as all fuck? I'm pretty sure their toys aren't known to rust. so this is on another level. Jeeesus. carib-bein' too moist.

>>11518370
They can't combine or anything right?

>>11518743
They can't even be bundled

>>11518699
Humans can deal with temperature naturally.
As far as Japan , their summer can be brutal but there’s other seasons that are more dry; the constant humidity is what ruins diecast metal. If you look around at Japanese second hand websites, you’ll see some figures dealing with die cast rusting, especially ones aimed at young kids. As someone who collects Sentai/power rangers, I’ve seen my share of rusty DX toys.

>>11518772
What a waste, canceling my orders

>>11518777
aw man.. this whole time I thought it was like some kinda chrome steel. what kinda metal IS die cast anyway

>>11518796
Zinc alloys, it oxidizes readily when exposed to air. That's why every diecast part has to be entirely coated.

>>11518799
and here i thought zinc was something we USE for coating. Huh. So not rust then, but zinc oxide.. that white stuff. unless.. wait what's it alloyed with

also COME BACK, ZINC!

>>11518811
Pure Zinc and Aluminum oxidize so fast that their oxide layer forms a protective coating preventing further oxidation.

You can look up "zamak" for the composition of commercial diecast alloys.

>>11518370

Man, they look great together. I can only really afford one mold for each character currently, so I'm opting for the SS86 colors, but I'd totally grab these if money were no object and I haven't even read G2.

>>11518898

>>11518898
ARISE, MEGATRONUS PRIME!

>>11518772
can they snuggle?

Welp, Scavenger got delayed till next week. No biggie. Not like I'm gonna do anything with him until I get Mixmaster in to finish off Devastator. I haven't even opened the other four yet. I'm waiting to crack them all open at the same time.

SS86 Megs is in my city though and should be out for delivery in a little bit, so that's exciting. Anyone else getting him in today?

>>11519008
“Sorry, that name's already taken, you’ll have to settle for Galvatronus Prime instead”

>>11518370
Hmmm. I wonder if they'll do the SS Constructicons in G2 colors.
Because I'd prefer that, so they seem a little more different than the CW ones I already have.
Do I dare wait?
Do I dare dream?

>>11519047
>Galvatronus
That’s some other guy.

>>11519074
Dare to keep all your dreams alive

>>115190388

Amazon gave me your Scavenger, I'm getting him and Megs tomorrow apparently. I barely have any S1/2 Cons in my collection, so I'm very excited for both. Grimlock should be here today too. This month is killing my wallet, but I don't give a shit because they're all must haves.

>>11519174

IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAAAAAAND

My thoughts after unboxing and transforming Silverbolt: trying to line up Superion's head with his chest piece is one of the most miserable TF experiences I've had in awhile and it's absurd that a commander class figure doesn't have any wrist articulation. He looks decent with his fellow Aerialbots though.

>>11519300
Miniature looks like Doc Octopus holding hostages.
But I agree on his chest, I feel like I might keep them forever in combiner mode.

Megatron will be here soon...but the Autobots are ready!

>>11519300
Man, I really hate what they did to his botmode, mostly the lack of a defined waist, the scawny shins and cement brick feet.

He's pretty good.

>>11518898
>>11518899
We know how this goes
In the 90s, starscream got the matrix, and it started making him do good things
So he gave it back

>>11519467

>>11519490

>>11519499
Is megs that much taller than the others or is it a perspective thing?

>>11519509
He's standing on the sidewalk so he's slightly taller than he normally would look.

>>11519499
Why is he pointing at me? What does he WANT?

>>11519490
Those small back panels on 86 Prime are the new super mode headlights of Legacy Armada Prime, everybody seems to forget transforming them.

The most powerful Decepticon combiner

>>11519499
>Onwards, Decepticons! Go and get rid of half of that surface detail and that terrible battle damage! You will stop being such eyesores, you've embarrassed me enough!

>>11519499
the decepticon leaders and also spacebus

>>11518346
Yes! Even the individual components all look so good.

Side note, anyone who has an AOTP Sideways is able to give the shield to a Cybertron Scourge (as a proxy, anyway, since I always expect Hasbro to retool Onyx Prime into a Jungle Planet Scourge at some point)? Well, I remember that one episode of Cybertron that fondly, after all, since the shield wasn't originally detachable with the old 2004 toy.

Cheapest place to get predaking?

>>11519540
Does this scale at all with the legacy figures?

>>11519546
the wha?

>>11519600
No

>>11519616
He's saying that people forget to transform those bits properly. You're meant to fold that piece of the backpack by folding it inward, making it look a lottle smaller. On Armada, is lights are meant to fold back to vehicle mode position for super mode, but people just leave them in robot mode orientation, leaving notable gaps when transformed.

>>11519616
I'm guessing some people is so used to the spoiler/wheels nonsense of the Earthrise that they don't notice how leaving those panels this way ruin the waist profile.

>86 Megatron, biggest release in years
>by the time he releases no one even cares anymore
Did everyone collectively realize he is ass? Why is his head so fat? Whwre is his ab crunch? Why is his pointer finger the size of two fingers with three other baby fingers? Why are his forearms so oversized? Why are his feet so ugly?

>>11519673
Because MUH TOOOOOOOOON
I'd be OK with him if his tank mode wasn't trash and he was silver rather than that hideous grey.

>>11519673
Most people still don't own it, you know? I already watched some reviews and have mine on pre-order, what else is there to discuss?

>>11519693
Plus weeks of early images kind of explored everything about it anyway. I wonder if the chinese will push out an improved version like they did 86 Prime.

>>11519717
How is the KO of 86 Prime?

>>11519718
Pretty fantastic, although I never got my hands on the original to compare it. But as is it's solid, no stuck joints or weird clearances, and I adore the extra heads.

>>11519551
So glad we're moving past that mold.

>>11519673
>no one cares about this figure who isn't out yet because... I say so
What do you want, people writing poems about how much they want this figure?

>>11519726
No kidding. I was smiling so hard when they revealed Thundercracker.

>>11519693
I only just now got my shipping notice for Hearts of Steel Megatron.

>>11518679
Die cast is literally some of the cheapest, trash tier metal you can use for anything. The quality is garbage. That's why I always laugh at retards who claim it's 'premium' or 'quality'.

>>11519842
man i was lied to.
and also very lucky, though I'm having trouble thinking of any toys I still have that used it.

>>11519842
>The lost art of robots made from scrap tin from post-war Japan

>>11519869
so really it's a repeat of all that 'katanas are crazy and downright magical' stuff, when in reality the reason they were so labor-intensive is because japanese iron fucking sucked

>>11519899
>desgustangticons

>>11519899
He really is built like a tank

>>11519887
>TLK Dragon Megs
I want this. They're doing all these movie concept art guys now, right? This is the perfect chance for them to give us the alt mode he was intended to have.

>>11519848
It's worse than being lied to, because people will defend this crap like their lives depended on it. It's really disturbing and disappointing to see.

>>11519899
>phat ass to distract from ugly face
Typical hoe

>>11519931
it's not going to be any more possible to make that transform properly
>>11519954
we're just trying to stand by something that feels heavy, strong, industrial, and yknow.. abandoned in favor of lower cost. it's natural, even if this time it was misguided.
and hell, I don't have proof on any of this, I'm just trusting you, like I trusted the schmucks praising it.

>>11519842
I'm glad someone else understands, I've never had die cast not be an active detriment to a figure's quality
I especially hate when they do that stupid shit and put it in the feet to add 'weight' because all it does is make it impossible for them to hold their leg up in any damn pose; it's too fucking heavy, and it will happily ruin joint quality as it forces them back down

Huh. Looks like they're already shipping the Timelines Megs and Bee 2-pack. Kinda expected them to take a bit longer.

>>11519499
Starscream and soundwave look kind of ass, can’t wait to replace them next year

>>11520155
I get why Siege's obsession with "MAKE DAMAGE" meant Soundwave got the fake smashed chest door, but that's like the ONE spot you don't want to put damage on Soundwave, it's his big iconic element.

>>11520016
The most laughable example of this I remember was Monsterarts AVP Alien. Long segmented ball-jointed tail with a metal tip. All that articulation rendered useless because of some dumbfucks obsession with diecast.

Guesses on the remaining Mattel collabs?

Transformers Barbie Corvette, Battlecat from Tigatron, or a Rotom (from Cosmos?)

>>11520162
That was my favourite bit of battle damage in the whole line

>>11519499
Did anyone ever make a oversized KO of Astrotrain? I always felt like he should be bigger.

>>11520188
No

I wish we’d get a astrotrain playset to stuff decepticons in or somethin

>>11520211
pray for cyberworld astrotrain

Finally got Crasher for my Gobot stand-in shelf.

>>11519047
>>11519158
Fine! I'll be Gigatronus Prime! The matrix makes me 1024 times stronger anyway.

>>11519899
Axel in Harlem energy.

>>11520256
nice

>>11520211
Needs to be five times the size of a titan so you can have 86 Devastator inside.

>>11520169
might be the most schizophrenic assembly ever.

>>11520256
Hahahahaha
They call them GO-Bots because you have to GO to the store, before you BOUGHT them!

>>11516233
>I wouldn't mind the shellforming if just more of her was in the car, but at least I see her thighs are
And her chest is too.

Well, he's probably not going to win over anyone who didn't care for Bonecrusher, but I think Scavenger looks pretty good. I look forward to posing him murdering SS86 Prowl whenever that gets released.

Bay won.

>>11520744

And we lost. Can't believe this hack gets a second shot at poisoning the franchise for another decade.

>>11520744
fucking OutRun? the arcade game?

>>11520736
... OH! I didn't see it down there. okay yeah, so that's good. that's integrated.

>>11520747
i mean Battleship made a billion dollars, didn't it?
people are fucking retards. news at 11. i still enjoyed the bay movies.

>>11520750
okay yeah but that was battleship, which at least had aliens and an intriguing premise that I think did a good job at adapting the game gimmick (not being able to directly shoot at the target)

outrun is just going to be like, a generic street racing movie. With a hot woman as the protagonist.

>>11520750

Uh, what? Battleship made 303 million worldwide. On a budget of 220 million plus marketing, that means it probably barely broken even at best.

>>11520744
nothing is going to change until that fat retarded fuck lorenzo is gone

>>11520760
Don't the Fast and the Furious movies make a lot of money?

>>11520761
oh. that is not what i was told.

>>11520745
Time to seethe for another 20 years faggot. Bayverse is real transformers

>>11520779
f&f stopped being about street races like 6 movies ago

>>11520798
as somebody with surface-level, zero-interest knowledge of this franchise, that is fascinating and baffling.
so is it... like, decay? like it went off the rails and forgot what it was about? or is it somehow... development. I cannot imagine the fast and furious movies have development, and became something MORE over time.

>>11520802
it's like, spy shit now or something

>>11520797

>Bayverse is real transformers

If you're a drooling retard with no taste maybe.

>>11520808
>If you're a drooling retard with no taste maybe.
You're in a Transformers thread, that's a given.

>>11520802

I also know nothing about FF, but I've always wanted a Transformers crossover movie because of how fucking stupid and fun it would be

>Yo, I hear they call you the Autobots. I got just one question...how fast can you go?
>*insert popular rap song*

>>11520808
Whether you like it or not it's the truth. CHUG only exists to fill shelves between movies.

>>11520831

This is shit is apples to oranges. 2007 might as well be a different fucking world at this point. Bayverse figures sell like shit compared to literally every other TF Hasbro puts out.

>>11520838
No transformers are selling nowadays. Last Knight through One have completely poisoned the brand.

>>11520843
>No transformers are selling nowadays.
Wrong, G1 does as confirmed by hasbro

>>11520843
Not Bumblebee.

>this fucking conversation with schizo again
Just post toys

>>11520844
Which is why every TF class has had price increases year on year alongside extreme budget cuts? That's why TF One mainline is still stuck on store shelves 11 months after release? Selling so well that new waves consists of two toys instead of ten?

>>11520845
If Bumblebee did well it would have boosted ROTB's sales in the same way DoTM carried AOE

>>11520843

Shame, One was great and we seriously need more Transformers media without any dead weight human characters.

>>11520850
So why didn't AOE carry TLK? You didn't include a explanation for that fall off in your brand poisoning spiel.

>>11520854
DotM was generally well liked and normies had positive thoughts going into AOE. AOE was hated even by the average moviegoers and bad reviews ontop of that which slowed tLK's box office. Last Knight is still a big success from a box office to budget ratio while RoTB had a similar budget to tLK but made the same amount as the far cheaper Bumblebee movie. RotB needed to make far more than tLK's 600 million to be a success.

>>11520847

Fine.

>Kitty, kitty, kitty. Do you want to pet the kitty?

>>11520860
>>11520737
Scavenger updated to tomorrow now. Still no update on Mixmaster, anyone else?

>>11520860
Scavenger looks great, still I think I need to tighten his shoulder in arm mode once I get him. Bonecrusher wasn't as tight as I would like to.

Ultra Magnus would make a good wife.

I dig this kit.

>>11520889
I want to customize one into Sari but I need to find a brown faceplate with Cyan eyes.

>>11520860
he's learning to read!

Just got Scavenger. Manifesting Mixmaster.

>>11520869
Mine still says October...

AND YOU WILL KNOW MY NAME IS MEGATRON WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON YOU!

>>11520978
i'm amazed at how posable these fucks are

>>11520978
Get back to work!
Union guys. I swear.

>>11520831

>>11520978

>get 86 Megatron
>he is sparking absolutely zero joy
I guess thats it for me

>STARSCREEEEEAAAAAM!
>You dare sully MY throne?!

>Lord Megatron! I-I was merely keeping it warm for-
>How thoughtful of you...

>>11520978
>Mine still say
One of us! One of us!

And all is right with the universe.

>>11519546
They'll never beat the flap behind the head of that one cyberjet mold. NOBODY remembers to tuck that thing away.

>>11520744
Oh great. I can barely contain my excitement for the seventh variation of 'obnoxious human main characters stumble onto an ancient Transformers plot device, get chased around by the Decepticons and the US government, Megatron plays second fiddle to the Real Villain and all the Autobots except Optimus (and sometimes Bumblebee) stand around uselessly in the background while the US military does the real work' plot.

>>11520744
his other movies flopped so he's got to come crawling back to transformers to pay off his rape settlements

>Cheer up, Long Haul. I'm sure we'll manifest Mixmaster next time

TOKUSENTAI
TOKUSENTAI

>>11521006
sorry to hear that, man. i haven't had a disappointing purchase in a long time.. these days I make quadruply sure before laying money down.
Funny thing though, it feels very similar when you're disappointed by a product, without buying it, but really wishing you could buy.. the version of it you want to exist.

>>11521074

GO SUPER MEGA CONSTRUCTION FORCE

>>11521074
I was so hoping you'd do that

>>11521063
What if obnoxious Transformers stumble upon ancient human plot device and the apparent villain gets hijacked by Megatron?

So is Mixmaster out in the US yet? Just got Scavenger today and would like to get Devastator completed. Heck amazon for me still doesn't have a listing for Mixmaster

>>11521074
nice

>>11521063
You're forgetting the sex freaks. Definitely the biggest missing factor in nu-transformers.

>>11521067
>can't afford settlements from rape
>comes back to rape our franchise with his shit movies

>>11521029
what the? what's going on with Scavenger's torso? It's a T

>>11521190
anon you can't just ask someone why he's a T

Question for anyone who was AoTP Silverbolt: Can his Concorde snoot droop?

>>11521220
yes

>>11521220
Sorry, meant to say "has". But if anyone here *was* AoTP Silverbolt, feel free to share your life experience as a 2025 commander class.

>>11521223
Silverbolt here. Do you know how much it sucks to have to fly in the mainline again? First Hasbro forces me to get an update. No retool here. They tell me that I have to lug around a bit of kibble to transform into superion, which is nice, as I can just set it down when I don't feel like combining. But I look online and all these people are talking shit about my figure because I'm not directly connecting to the other aerialbots anymore. Really hurt my self-image, especially seeing as people can't just enjoy me for being a cool Concorde and instead judge my worth based on my skill as a combiner torso.

>>11521231
but then who was phone?

>>11521231
I hope in time everyone can come to appreciate combiner team leaders as individuals, and not just tools for mighty gestalt robot combination. Thank you for taking the time to type up such an insightful reply on your disproportionately large keyboard.

>>11521231
Planes who are afraid of heights get judged

>>11521242
Speed Dial 800.

>>11521244
This keyboard was hard to come by. 5mm post to USB adapters are pretty uncommon.

>>11521248
I'm working on it, okay?

>>11520850
Aoe did well because of china

>>11521304
it's weird people still believe china is real

>>11521304
And USA

>>11521121
You forgot the phone, the xbox and the steering wheel. Fake fan.

>>11521231
Silverbolt here. I'm a courageous knight loved by everyone and can touch big spider boobs whenever I want. Sucks to be you.

No, I don't know anything about that "Beast Machines" thing. Shut up.

>>11521190
>what's going on with Scavenger's torso? It's a T
As it should be.

>>11521074
Never buy Mixmaster anon. You will ruin the group pose and Scrapper hates that.

>>11521417
The bigger issue isn't the shape of his torso; it's the length and thickness of his arms, which seems to be a problem with all of these Constructicons.

>>11521471
I have DocSeth81 so much

Alright, been straight with me. Are Blokees good to handle in person or not. Really tempted to get some, but I've never gotten a non transforming Transformer.

>>11521417
Where's his organs!!!

>>11521526
>Constructicons have a Bonecrusher
>no Organharvester

>>11521524
blokees are fun to build and fun to pose (ankle ball joints do 99% of the work because the hip skirts limit hip articulation) but if the main draw of transformers is the transformation for you they're not going to be for you

some blokees can have loose shoulder pad accessories but other than that they're usually fun to handle. It's definitely cheap plastic but it doesn't feel too bad

>>11521529
Different bulldozer.

>>11521529
Just as The Dinobots have Slash, The Constructicons need a cute smol construction girl on their team.

>>11521553
she could be all cheery and chipper and carry a wrench that's too big for here.
>"C'mon, guys we can do it!!!!" Tries to turn a screw on her own but it's too big for her so Bonecrusher helps.

>>11521529
>>11521553
They could use Gravedigger. He’s described as Bonecrusher's younger brother and is used to fill the eighth slot of the flashback Constructicon roster with Road Hauler

>>11521555
>the only time in fiction destro had any aura

trips checked

>>11521074
BOUKENGER!
