>>11516148 (OP)
is he supposed to have a moustache?

I’m new to collecting Transformers, what are some good brands/toys to look into? So far one brand I’m seeing, Blokees, looks pretty good.

>>11516148 (OP)
Why would a Cybertronian’s alias be McAddams?

>>11524557

Yes.

>>11516148 (OP)
I like to believe he's Bullkhead's dad they share the same deep green color scheme and social personality.

>>11524567
I hear the stuff Hasbro makes is pretty good.

>>11516148 (OP)
you linked to the wrong thread
heres the previous thread
>>11523921

Alright, so Long Haul and Hook finally arrived. Problem is do I still keep trying to Bonecrusher and Scrapper, or just make a big order on BBTS for the rest of the Constructicons since I hear they may release on the 1st.

Should I even bother trying to get Ironhide? I heard he was a pretty poor transformation.

>>11529389
I have Ratchet, the mold looks great but the transformation is kinda finicky, especially the end. It's a genius process but Hasbro's ability to tolerance stuff just isn't up for the task.

>>11529396
Gotcha, I do have a ratchet, but he's in the storage right now. So I haven't been able to fully transform him yet, but going forward, I was thinking of getting a replacement bought for Ironhide's spot. Maybe cosmo, just to fill a spot for my autobots.

Can someone give a ranking of the SS86 Dinobots from best to worst?

How is the Yolopark stuff?

>>11529444
My Megatron's left knee has gotten really loose lately after 2 months

>>11529431
Grimlock, Snarl and Swoop are pretty great. Sludge has a nice transformation but universally weak knees, and Slag has some baffling design choices.

>>11516148 (OP)
I gotta be honest dude. I have never seen ToyHax ever enhance a figure. They always look like shit. Maybe Vector Prime.

>>11529485
Agree. On transforming robot toys from the 80s and 90s like G1/G2 Transformers, DX Sentai robots and Brave/Eldran they look fine as the toys were already designed with them in mind and they had less surface detail. On newer toys with more complex sculpts the stickers are an eyesore, specially if they try to replicate the old-school mechanical detail of G1 Transformers decals. And it's even worse if they're reflective stickers, because in that case the toy just ends up looking like one of those jarring Chinese KOs that also had tons of random chrome.

>>11529485
honestly same, if you want to take advantage of the surface detail learn to paint or find someone on instagram or something. you're already spending a ridiculous amount on stickers that will peel off

>>11529485
I only intend to ever buy them for toys that already use stickers. The metallic stickers that come with Reissue Star Convoy get splotchy and I'd LIKE to think that the toyhax ones don't?

>>11529431
I'd say like
Snarl (Just overall very good and solid, minus the dino hunch) >= Sludge (if your copy doesn't have terrible QC it's a great figure with great posability and a great transformation) > Grimlock (Not outstanding but just a solid figure, arguably a must have) > Slag (His backpack suuuuucks and he's annoying to transform, but otherwise poses better than grimlock and looks almost perfect) >>>>>> Swoop (Transforms in less steps than a core, dino mode looks like shit, is undersized for no reason, is really wide and awkward looking, a wet fart at the end of the 86 dinobots)

So... Who are you voting for and what mode do you have in mind?

Anyone know the paint used on 86 Megatron's face? Mine came with a small knick on the nose and I already had to return one for shoddy paint on the head, so I'd rather fix this one.

>>11529860
Grimlock, A-10C Warthog

>>11529868
I'm curious too because I was going to just repaint the whole thing for the same reason as you. As a temp fix, I took a tooth pick and a Gundam marker/paint marker and put a dab of white paint on the tiny blemish and then rubbed it a little bit to blend it and it doesn't stand out anymore. Weirdly enough one whole side of his nose isn't painted which actually makes it look better and stand out more. I wish all sides of the nose were not painted because it just looks better imo.

>>11530116
That’s powerglide though

this turret fanmode looks pretty good

With the power of CHINA, you can now turn your Pyra Magna into Autobot Megaempress

For a character I wasn't too enthused about picking up and only grabbed because I'm going all in on G1, Gears is pretty alright.

>>11530320
If only I had a Pyra Magna, or a Megatronia. I've had a ebay thing set up for Megatronia for years and it's been hell seeing her price constantly creep up.

>>11530143
I'm really annoyed. I don't mind Knicks so much, but anything on the face will flare up my autism. I can't seem to find anything on other sites so I hope someone figures out a close enough color so I can fix it.

>>11530370
I want that set and yet I know it's just because the cute art of them, the actual molds are mediocre and not fembots at all.

>>11530376
I've got a soft spot for the CW Hot Spot mold, I feel it gets pretty close to being good, and Megaempress looks to wear the mold nicely too.
At this point I'm just holding out hope Kotobukiya do a Megatron to go with their recent Humikane Shimada Optimus kit. Might be the closest we'll get to Megaempress nowadays.

>>11530257
This is looks so great it makes you wonder how they fucked up the turret in the first place

>>11530368
He's a great little bot and a lot of fun to transform back and forth.
Him, 86 Brawn, and Kingdom Huffer look great together I think.

>>11530517
They literally fuck up things on purpose so that diehard collectors will still buy the next version. Hasbro is fully aware that if they ever make a "perfect" version of a popular character like optimus or megatron, it derails their gravy train.

Fuck, look at how badly they screwed up SS Ultra Magnus's shoulders and head, despite that NEVER being an issue before, even on the cheap-as CW mold. They gotta keep bank up for their shareholders, somehow.

>>11530368
I have the Gobot version. Pretty cool figure. Only rub is that during manufacturing, they gave me the wrong wheel for one of them.

>>11530585
For me it's less the shoulders and more that the truck mode doesn't match SS 86 Optimus

>>11530368
More like Gay1 Queers

>>11530585
What's the problem with the head? Looks accurate to me.

Star Convoy's base mode is a fun and convenient way to get him on a lower shelf.

>>11530257
Looks way better actually. If only you could store his cannon somewhere

>>11530634
shame they fucked up so many of his features.

>>11530322
>>11530320
These are kind of cute and I love my Victorion set. I still can't believe they were only $50 back when nobody wanted them, I don't even think I had to pay shipping.

>>11530691
>every Transformer figure has skyrocketed in price except the ones I want to sell
Why is it like this

>>11530718
The ones you want to sell are the ones everybody else wants to sell too, lowering market value.

>>11530718
which one do you want to sell?

why did rocklords fail

>>11530727
I dont really want to sell any of them, but they are faster cash than anything else. If I do end up selling stuff Combiner Wars is on the chopping block. Some vintage stuff probably needs to go too.

>>11530758
Because they made them ugly

MEGATRON?!

DECEPTICONS!

DIE, AUTOBOTS!

AHHHHHHHH, MY CHASSIS!

MY BEAUTIFUL CHASSIS!

>>11530816

Yay more slop

>>11530257
If the forearms were turned 90 degrees so that they sloped down toward the front it would look so much better. That there was no attempt to make the front of the turret actualy look like one rather than two arms side by side drives me insane.

>>11530758
No one fucking want them, they didn't fucking sell, clogging up shelves, and taking release slots of other more deserving characters

>>11530758
Nucleous and shard are cool but otherwise they were just colorful turds, the junkions did everything far better

>>11530143
Does that marker list any specific white on it? Does Amazon sell that specific marker?

>>11530863
this would be better without all the stupid ass effects

>>11530943
What was that?
I'm sorry I couldn't hear you over the visual noise

>>11530758
>why didn't anyone want our Flintstone cars?

>>11530794
So they should have made more like Solitaire and less like the rocks

Gonna buy Magmatron
What am I in for?

>>11531129
He's a fantastic figure.

>>11531139
I'm looking forward to him. He's going to be my first commander.

How many more years do you think I'll have to wait before Generations Selects puts out Megazarak? Or maybe they'll just put him in mainline, like Razorclaw.

>>11531129
A shitload of fun. The dude's great, and you're gonna love him.

>>11531177
Honestly the dino-chimera mode works way better than the original

Feeling tempted to buy my first fan made DLC.

>>11530908
>Magneous and Bouldercrash are cool but otherwise they were just colorful turds, the junkions did everything far better
Fixed

>>11529389
I love how he looks, but i’ll wait for an eventual slolid plastic release with the yellow stripe included. I typically prefer translucent windows, but with guys like these it doesn’t feel worth the risk

>>11524578
That was when IDW troons were in charge.

>>11531199
Of all of them you picked the actual turd colored one

>>11530758
In theory the robot modes are unburdened by the vehicle design yet they never took full advantage of that.

>>11531129
Better engineering, worse plastic and worse sculpting than the 90s toy.

>>11531255
maccadam was originally named in the UK marvel comic and the rumor that they were the thirteenth prime came from the dreamwave ultimate guide (written by Simon Furman)

I hate IDW's writing as much as the next guy, but it's not like they were the sole inventor of the idea.

>>11531248
I genuinely don't think a single memebr of this team is good looking, an incredible effort from hasbro

>>11531272
deathcobra looks pretty good.

>>11531266
Isnt that every modern transformer

>>11531245
So...are we not getting any video updates? Fucking up so bad with Omega Prime really made them that scared?

>>11531272
As someone who's never owned any version of these guys, I think they look pretty good - except for Killbison, whose alt mode looks too much like a formless brick on wheels. I don't regret backing this - yet. We'll see if the Breast Force has as many fuck ups as Omega Prime did.

>>11531276
Yes, but its especially bad on Magmatron

>>11531298
That is ashame they took that out. It looks so cool

>>11531298
>>11531305
What was even the point of that double hinge? It looked cool, but didn't do anything the single joint alone already accomplished and made no anatomical sense. It was literally just extra plastic.

>>11531325
The point is that the new wing is just two rectangles now. If they really cared about anatomy they would have moved the bicep up to the top.

>>11531327
I was asking what the point was on the old toy. Why was that piece there to begin with when it served no purpose?

>>11524578
>Why would a Cybertronian’s alias be McAddams?
Maccadam is a reference to Macadam;

Wow so the move was actually to do nothing and buy them all at the last second wow

>>11531179
The original didn't have seasaur looking like a broken egg, though.

>>11531519
So much for the idiots who might have been trying to game the system for a Hearts of Steel Shockwave.

>>11531179
>>11531525
Skysaur is integrated better, but those sides are an absolute mess when compared to the original.

>>11531519
>Vote wild card
>vote weapon
>get new gun Shockwave
I don't think they understand that the meme potential will probably trump the fandoms desire for something new

>>11531532
This was my first thought as well

I was an early supporter of 86 Devastator. I spent a shitload of time defending that thing upon reveal. Over the last few months Ive watched as tons of people warm up yo him and cave on the set. Everyone has some nitpicks but overalls seems pleased. Me on the other hand, Ive slowly grown to really have a ton of problems w the figure. Combined mode honestly looks terrible. Visually and proportionally; its got SO many things wrong with it, its almost unbelievable. Now here I am with member #5 arriving today and I dont even want to finish it. At least there is a solution to the off-center knee issue. Unfortunately its a 3D printed (not molded) kit from Chyna

>>11531532
Shockwave will turn into a sword.

>>11531551
A gunblade?

>>11531333
The old wings raise when you flip a lever. It's also why the head is a solid blob instead of having shoulder joints.

>>11531519
I'd unironically take a submarine. Memes aside, I always thought an actual honest-to-god submarine would be perfect for Shockwave. This sinister hulking thing lurking in the depths, waiting for exactly the right moment to attack.

>>11531519

No Unicron 0/10
Seriously though, great photo! I plan to do exactly this when I have all the '86 newcomers. Only missing Springer, Arcee, and Blurr

>>11531583
They already copied Torca's design back in the day, no need to do that again.

>the MotU line gives Starscream to Scareglow

Okay. Guess that’s better than Evil-lyn.

>>11531597
It's funny cause this was originally used for some early 90s TV show trying to predict what future life on Earth would look like, but it became so obscure it's name isn't even on the wiki and the Transformers toy will overshadow it forever

>>11530816

Now this is what I'm talking about. Megatron gets to kill Autobots and crush Starscream at the same time.

>>11531597
>>11531628
Interesting, where did you learn it was from a TV show?
I always suspected it was commissioned for the Chaos Effect line and tossed into Fuzors since the concept was similar

>>11531640
It used to be on Youtube, and it was two of those Torca statues just standing facing off in a brown grass field while some guy talked about how evolution could have made whales walk on land or something
I've actually been trying to refind it for years

>>11531654

>>11531519
>Sea creature
Lmao what is this referring to? The Spinosaurus?

>>11531686
Probably not so subtly yeah

>>11531690
Kek. I feel like having four options for BW shit in the vote is a bad idea but Crabwave sounds too tempting.

>>11531519
Well it looks like my hope for battleship Grimlock wouldn't've panned out anyway
A bit strange that creature is an option for Land but tank isn't, or maybe they vetoed that just for Shockwave... but left in weapon

Shocktrain could be funny, but I see this being split between submarine and helicopter

>>11531700
A beast mode for Shocky feels wrong. Beasts go on primal instinct. Isn't he the antithesis of that?

>>11531711
>Primal but intelligent
>Savage but calculated

>>11531519
The use of "creature" seems to me like odd terminology in this context...

Few of the options feel very Shockwave-y either, which I know is the point, I just don't think speedboat, truck, supercar or even jet and especially device work for him at all.

Submarine and Airship seem solid enough, starfighter too obvious (for the love of fuck don't be starfighter) and weapon is probably a red herring.

Not sure how I feel about train and hovercraft.

>>11531706
>Shocktrain could be funny
What if

The should just have him armor up into the Driller

Didn't he turn into something like this in the Dreamwave Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover?
Kinda hard to tell with the murky art

>>11531583
I don't think it's unreasonable for them to not want to steal from fan creations

>>11531325
>What was even the point of that double hinge?
>It looked cool
Sometimes, that's good enough of a reason

>>11531527
>he didn't flip the Seasaur legs around
Magmatron's back knees bend the other way!

>>11531640
Gimmie an Ultimasaurus Transformer! I don't care if it's a new character or Megatron/Optimus Prime #4561562, I just want to finally have that bitch after all these years.

>>11531325
When you pushed the tail on the old version, it would flap its wings. The double hinge is part of the mechanism.

>>11531298
sucks, but the simpler look is toon accurate

>>11531298
This looks like ass. Was it to much to ask to make it rounder like in the orginal toy? Will always look more organic than this.

>>11531845
You are fucking blind if you think the new one looks better. The irregular widths of the wing arm bones and organic membranes make the vintage toy far more accurate.

>>11531298
What a fucking piece of shit

>>11531883
He's saying the new one sucks, anon

>>11531893
He's saying its toon accurate, which it isn't.

>>11531883
>The irregular widths of the wing arm bones and organic membranes make the vintage toy far more accurate.
Anon, the original has two arms per arm.

>>11531856
yeah, they could've made that look a little more elegant, instead of kindergarten class

>>11531900
Its still more accurate anon.

I like the screws all over the original ones face and how theres no articulation at all. I hate that you can swoop them backwards on the new one. I prefer a spring loaded children’s gimmick any day of the wheat

Starscream’s Brigade

>>11531939
The era of toys where wings moving back-to-forward was considered "flapping" is so weird to me, wings do not flap that way and it always looks stupid

>>11531883
you're such an autistic retard, lmao

>>11531939
They could have added all of those improvements without fucking up the sculpt, you know? They're not mutually exclusive.

Any day of the WEEK. Goddamn, why do people insist on using phrases that they don't even know or understand. How the fuck does "Any day of the wheat" make any sense to you?

>>11524578
Not sure how that's any sillier than Transformers having names like Bumblebee and Jazz. What you're telling me the advanced robotic Alien race speaks and names themselves using modern day English terminology millions of years ago? As if. Bumblebee's wouldn't have even existed on Earth when Bumblebee was named! Nor would Jazz music!

>>11532091
That's probably the one thing I liked from the Bayformers movies - the first one explained that most of the characters took their current names from the internet when they arrived on Earth, with only characters like Optimus and Megatron keeping their Cybertronian ones.

>>11516148 (OP)
They should have made all the primes look cool and awesome. This one is just fucking lame.

>>11532084
He's by far the most creative autobot design. The human faces on the AOE era designs are far worse.

>>11531591

Thanks, man. That display's been a dream since I started collecting the SS86 figures and I had to get them all in that configuration as soon as my Magnus arrived. I hope I can take it a step further someday if that rumored Titan Unicron actually ends up being a thing.

After Seeing Earthspark shockwave's alt mode, I can only feel that shockwave should be a fighting machine from war of the worlds. All the parts are there.

>>11532105
He's just robot Einstein. There's zero creativity there.

So if someone wanted to pick up the Terrorcons (Power of the Prime had super shitty distribution where I lived and I never saw them at retail), how fucked am I? Are they hard to find/cost an arm and a leg? Or are they still relatively affordable?

>>11531722
This already exists in 3rd party

>>11532139
Einstein isnt a skeleton with fiber optic hair

>>11532150
Not THAT fucked. You should be able to find Blot, Rippersnapper, and Hun-Gurr at retail or slightly over retail. Sinnertwin and Cutthroat tend to hover between $40-50 if you want them MIC, but they would cost about the same as the others if you can find them loose. But the aftermarket rape prices aren't THAT bad for them

>>11532154
>Einstein isnt a skeleton
I think I can prove you wrong.

>>11532003
>a replacement - or a figure of equal value
huge red flag, guaranteed that they send you some deadstock shelfwarmer garbage like they did in your case
in the future you should reject the "equal value" figure and demand either an exact replacement or a refund

>>11532244
>in the future you should reject the "equal value" figure and demand either an exact replacement or a refund
Can you do that?

Have they released a version of this guy with better paint and sturdier legs yet? Really like how he looks compared to the lanky ROTB version

>>11532260
Woops

>>11532260
>>11532264
There was the Premium Finish version in 2021. I doubt the legs were any studier but it's got more paint.

>>11532091

Post your most recent figure

I like this

But I really don't get what exactly is the reason furai model kits flop around even though you just built the thing and the polycap should be strong being just out of the box.

Maybe the glossy plastic that lack friction?

Not going to put stickers on. The least they can do is paint the back wing like they did with megazord.

>You should paint it anon

No
I got a 2 closets full of gunpla back logs. I am not painting this.

oh so this is where you guys have been posting all week
yknow it helps if you post a link or something

>>11531129
a REAL hard time disconnecting seasaur from landsaur at the shoulder area. just keep at it.
also: one of the more unsatisfying unboxings, on account of he's not really properly in either mode. so you gotta spend time fixing up the robot mode but without the fun of combining it from the dinos, THEN split up and make into the individual parts..

>>11531519

>>11531628

>>11531717

>>11531856
yeah this was an easy fix. it should have just been a rounded piece there and then everyone would be happy

there are earth animals all across the galaxy, we've seen that

>>11532415
Its not just the wing membrane, the whole wing bone would need to be reworked too.

Got Iron General for 20 bucks. I realized the #1 reason I never wanted 86 Optimus is because absolutely no one can pose their figures. He’s actually pretty great.

>>11532479
technically that's not something they could work with
a real wing has the elbow dip down into the membrane, but then the movable part of the wing would cover it and look like shit.
basically they made-real the wrong one of the two arms on the original.

No, that optimus

>>11532109
I've been saying this for a few years now, glad someone else thinks so too!

Ultra Magnus is pretty good. Nothing insane. Better than “mid”, but thats about it.

>>11532496
>Release date: 5/24/2025

God-tier light piping. The #1 complaint about this figure is that his shoulders are too wide but the actual problem is that his legs and feet are too small. I see there is a height extension upgrade kit but it does not fix the actual problem.

>>11532512
This is a 3rd party figure and obviously does not count in this thread. Thank you for reinforcing my exact point which is

>>11532514
>post your most recent figure
I posted, but go ahead and keep moving the goal posts.

>>11532315
Ratchet is a reference to Nurse Rached and the earth tool, a ratchet. These names were never meant to hold up to scrutiny.

>>11532517
Your “goal” is over in the 3rd party thread. Post your most recent Hasbro / Takara figure

>>11532544
>I'm not moving the goalposts
>moves the goalposts
Wow you really showed him

>>11532003
Excellion is more than likely to shelfwarm anyways since Sideways is the more desirable of their wave.

>>11532560
I just saw the new stuff on pegs for the first time yesterday
Half dozen Sideways and zero Excellions

>>11532244
>you should reject the "equal value" figure and demand either an exact replacement or a refund
Literally wasn't an option. They requested pics of the item's serial numbers, pics of what the issue was, then got back to me a few days later saying they were already shipping me "a replacement or a figure of equal value" before closing the case. There was no say in the matter.

>>11532513
This is what passes for god-tier these days? LMAO

btw his shoulders are too wide

What's even the point of a SS86 Soundwave? They're going to keep to the cassette size they've been using since Siege because SS86 Blaster uses that size.

>>11532580
No more left over Siege bits and presumably half a head taller. It's really not much of a reason but people will buy it... myself included. Also Shockwave. And Astrotrain if he's a new mold.

>>11532580
Soundwave sells. That's why. Ironically we still need a fucking complete tape box set because Ratbat is still impossible to find, as is Rumble and Frenzy and Buzzsaw being locked into a Commander class box set version of Soundwave which doesn't come with all of the cassettes

>>11532580
>What's even the point of a SS86 Soundwave?
A cleaner Soundwave for those like me who skipped most of Siege's greeblefest and it's sequels, same as the new seeker mold.

>>11532580
Did you not see how bad the Neflix version turned out? It's like asking why anyone would want a new Ironhide after that awful ER version was released.

>>11532579
Dude, that Magnus is inside a room, not under direct sunlight. That's pretty good light piping in these conditions.

>>11532512
That looks good, what is it?

>>11532579

>Beast Hunters Shockwave

Nice. Still one of my favorite Shock toys.

>>11532513
I'm fine with magnus being yuge but I cannot get over how stupidly designed the shoulders are
They should never, ever be using a little baby hinge on someone this large

I hope we do eventually get a new white Optimus with trailer armor ultra magnus that is better designed than the siege/kingdom one.

It's going to be missing link that does this isn't it, fuck.

...actually, no, now I'm hoping for a cyberworld trailer combiner ultra magnus.

>>11532611
Pretty good is not god-tier.
This is what god-tier lighting looks like under those conditions. Magnus is middling at best.

>>11532700
those look just as good to me
i have said for ages now though, they need to use more fluorescent plastic.

>>11532618
Bailan Toys Roadmaster

Remember when Hasbro sold us Sky-Byte and we had to cut parts from sprues ourselves? Well they've done it again, only this time the parts are painted, so everyone gets a nice blue mark on the front of Horri-Bulls pink horns.

>>11532731
>Remember when Hasbro sold us Sky-Byte and we had to cut parts from sprues ourselves?
N...no....?

>>11532731
This is literally an issue Tomy fixed 25 years ago. did Hasbro learn NOTHING from their brief dalliance with Zoids?
>>11532738
his pectoral fins are like that.

Oh no! that's...

>>11532700
I own both of those and 86 Magnus, there really isn't that much of a brightness difference, it's just that red stands out more than blue.

Went down to my local toystore and grabbed some goodies.

Two big bozos and a rare-ish arcee for my fembot collection.

>>11532808
How do I smash the like button

>>11532715
Thanks anon.

>>11532821
>smashing a button instead of smashing Arcee

>>11532830
her cyberlitoris is nicknamed her 'like button'

>>11532834
this is the kind of joke they would have made in cyberverse if it was m rated

who would fit in with tarn aesthetically?

>>11530863
incredibly cool composition

>>11531665
goddamn dude, this is a slick shot. are these your photos?

>>11532843
Mr. Tall

>>11532843

He's not out yet, but I'm planning on displaying him and Flatline together because they have a similarly edgy aesthetic. He'd probably also look good with Megatronus.

I got these

Local Toys r Us is having a discount
they are not at clearance prices or anything but the discount just pushed them slightly below the usual actual market retail price

What should I think of them?

They also have overcharge and sandstorm on clearances but overcharge got some really nasty mold line on its visor and I'm thinking about getting the two pack for

It is kind of weird now I'm just literally waiting for bruticus and 86 Megatron and I am pretty much out for the entire year for transformers

>>11532870
>Local Toys r Us

Where are you from?

>>11532897
Let see if this would help

Google image should tell you the city I am located it

>Local TRU

From what I heard they still makes money but even the local flagship store got cut in half in size and that half was turned into a supermarket

I also don't like how they fill the front entrance with all the latest labubu like blink boxes now
The transformers section is now just a corner

>>11532031
Any tips on how much of each I should use? Not even sure what brand to get, since I can only get paint from Walmart and a local store, the only hobby store in the area closed years ago.

I'm torn between water-submarine and wild card-creature
Beyond the joke of the upside down gun I would like an actual submarine transformer and a wild card creature that doesn't fit in the other categories has me curious

Also the spinosaurus sect is imploding because they don't know where to put their votes

>>11533031
>meanwhile I just shitpost because I don't have app
I kinda like Spino idea but that might be the case of my dead creativity and I can't see any new altmode idea that isn't based on games or shows.

>Wildcard is winning
It's over. Another vague space thingy Shockwave is happening, despite half of Shockwaves being that already.

>>11532808
Best Arcee

>>11532008
Wheeljack is really cursed for movie design huh? Your options are uncanny Einstein robot or Urkel robot.

>>11533079
We will see. The autistic kids are hitting the designers hard with "WE WANT THE FUNNY DINOSAUR BUT IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE THAT ONE FROM THE FANART" messages and I think they are probably gonna lean into some creature.

>>11531526
Hearts of Steel isn't fanart or a creature. That is in reference to the spinosaurus Shockwave.

>>11533079
The absolute worst case scenario is this just turns into a long winded way of re-releasing Siege Shockwave again

More optimistically I can see creature winning
Or weapon and then he turns into, like, a big sword or something

>>11533118
Swordwave hype

>>11532731
Well, on the bright side, they painted the details on his stat readout. Though, if you you want consistency with Fangry and Squeezeplay/Cancer...

Now I'm sad again that Grimlock didn't win
I'm picturing weapon Grimlock turning into a sword
Like, his spine and tail lift out to be the sword and his body turns into the fist to hold it

I liked the scale and greeble from the WfC trilogy. I'm noticing as more and more SS86 toys release the more they're finally rotating the style out. I don't even want the new Seeker because it just won't aesthetically fit on the shelf, so I'm waiting for those "post mortem" releases of Siege Skywarp and ER Cracker.

Plus side is the WfC toys will probably be fucking dirt cheap lol

>>11533091
So next year SS86 Shockwave but in funny colors
>>11533118
Retards should make artworks to make people know what they vote for.

>>11533085
Exactly, the Sea options are speedboat/submarine/creature/hovercraft. Not the giant battleship they were hoping a water based Shockwave could have wound up.

>>11533120
Trebuchewave soon

>>11531173
Could have gotten that guy for 400 CAD. Still wondering if I made the right choice passing him up. complete too.

IRON BIRDS OF FORTUNE

>>11533289
trebuchewave would be cool but hasbro won't give it a spring launching gimmick in generations so why bother

>>11533349
Your enemies die when you kill them. They should have just done that from the start.

>>11533353
Catapults use tension, trebuchets use counterweights

>>11533349
RIP to three of the Autobots' greatest lieutenants... and Brawn.

>>11532953
i can't even tell what's wrong with the head now, but you just mix tiny bits of one and another til it's the right color
>brand
vallejo, man. yeah it's expensive, but you only have to use a tiny amount.

>>11533369
Gotta admire that grip that they can keep holding their guns even as they get lit up like that.

Anyone else hoping for a transformers retro version of kingdom warpath? Bright red plastic and grey paint/plastic instead of white? Outside of maybe a deluxe class seeker mold based on the original G1 toy (but updated like legacy G1 Optimus) I think that retro warpath would be my no. 1 most wanted figure.

>>11533509
I want retro Ratshit first

Just got this fella. How many bots will there be total and how many are out so far?

>>11533532
5. 1.

>>11533532
what >>11533551 said. Specifics:
2 deluxes (vortex, which you bought and blast off, the space shuttle)
2 Voyagers (brawl, the tank, and swindle, the jeep. these two will form the legs and ankles, maybe the feet too.)
1 commander (onslaught, the artillery truck. Semi-frame combiner setup seemingly.)

>>11533551
>>11533552
thank you, gents!

Went out looking for Mixmaster and Scavenger today. Obviously didn't find them, but both Targets had Megatron and Grimlock, first time I've seen SS86 G1 Grimlock in person.

I just paid my phone bill so I couldn't justify buying a Leader figure right now (I would have only bought one Contructicon had I found both of them, but wasn't expecting to), but I do want Grimlock. The thing is based on my experience with SS86 Sludge (the only SS86 Dinobot I ever found in stores), I imagine SS86 Grimlock needs SOME form of upgrades or fixes, but it seems both Nonnef and DNA options are no longer available.

My question being how does Grimlock compare to Sludge as far as needing "fixes" go?

STOP THE COUNT!!!

>>11533653
He’s 95% perfect. Get him his front teeth and a sword.

>>11533675
making the votes visible is affecting the result, people who vote land/air are just going to change it to one of the options that actually has a chance of winning

>>11533675
Looks like my sea vote ended up mattering
Might change it to wild card now

>>11533687
Someone else told me a few minutes ago that his back has a huge gap in it?

>>11533702
Who, Grimlock? Not on mine, his back looks fine to me.

>>11533746
what about dino mode?

>>11533747
What about mid transformation? You forgot to ask about the most important part that you can't look up in two seconds.

>>11533747
No gaps at all in dino mode. Maybe they were talking about another figure - plenty of other recent ones have been gappy from behind, just not the dinobots.

>>11533756
if people cared about huge gaps mid transformation then masterpiece wouldn't be around today

>>11533552
you forgot the 6th figure, Slappy

>>11533747
The back of the dinosaur mode is a bit gap-y, but not problematically so.

Wildcardsirs...

Is Swoop worth the $55?

>>11533870
If you own the other four yes. If not there's better toys for that price.

Any Blokees enjoyers? Just need Thrust, and a non Shining Ramjet

>>11533825
>>11533868
I wonder which social media type went and turned the tides

>>11533874
I'd be a blokees enjoyer if they produced one of their more complex model kits like the rotb Optimus prime but for hot rod. I need an action master hot rod.

>>11533870
He's ok, but he's rather normal compared to the other Dinobots, so he feels like a big deluxe.

Got a partial refund for my Megatron's paint issues so that helps a bit with buying those paints. I wish Hasbro's factories could paint worth a damn, but I guess I'm asking too much.

>>11533908
i think that demanding perfection from assembly lines is folly
what you should demand is better QC. but think about it, what kind of human brain would be able to sit and just stare at millions of the same product, checking to see if it's right?
so I guess it's better to just let people makemistakes and then refund.. but that's annoying, especially at a time when shipping anything is so expensive.

>>11533914
I don't expect perfection, but I expect them to at least paint the face well when they fucking spray paint it.

what if reactivate came back as just a toyline?

>>11533934
Nah, that stuff is probably radioactive to Hasbro.

>>11533935
but they look cool

>>11533890
Whole line of G1 in the mid size kits would be sweet.
I'm looking forward to getting the big Soundwave Model Kit, I like the OP and Megatron kits.

>>11533932
by the way what color is it supposed to be? it looks right to me.

>>11533914
>what kind of human brain would be able to sit and just stare at millions of the same product
Don't they use scanning devices to check shit? Like in a lot of food factories, or fruit related factories, shit gets rejected/accepted via a scanner as it's going down the line.

>>11533958
It's a slightly gray white. Not sure on the mix. A post on another site mentioned 50% white and 50% stone gray would match the face paint. Couldn't get stone gray so I'll try making it using an vallejo set with black, grey, white and other colors.

Bay Transformers leaks

>Megatron is an Osprey Helicopter, But has a beast mode at some point.
>Starscream is a new Generation jet, Will be Red F-47.
>Soundwave is a Predator Drone
>There's a female who triple changes into a Jeep/P-51 Mustang. Codenamed "Riptide"
>Jetstorm is a PAK DA Stealth Bomber. Working/placeholder name.
>Tank is named Bombshock, Hasbro wanted to use Brawl but Writer wants to save him/Michael Bay not wanting to repeat a minor bot.
>Tow Truck is code named "Clench", Running gag where Optimus thinks has has killed him only for him to return, He never speaks.

>>11533962
well they sure as fuck should, if they don't.
>>11533964
Fair.. it looks pretty gray to me already, but I guess not the right KIND of gray. These things are important, I know.

>>11533965
you had me at beast mode.

>>11533965
Main Autobots are:

>Optimus Prime who is a fire truck in this version.

>Prowl who is a Plymouth superbird in blue. I heard apparently it can fly?

>Arcee is a pink 55 chevy.

>Ratchet is an off-road ambulance in green.

>Cliffjumper who is a red Volkswagen (yeah he's alive now I guess.)

>Jazz, Bumblebee and show up as brief cameos.

>There's also a spaceship character who barely does anything.

>The main humans are two teenagers.

>>11533967
I heard on /co/ that is some kind of cryptid creature. With long antlers and strange body proportions.

>>11533966
Honestly, the qc on Megs head is inexcusable. Unlike most figures, he uses 3 parts for the head, but not only do many copies have issues with the face paint, the forehead section is a separate section, yet many copies have notable scuffs, or damage there.

>>11533969
>>Cliffjumper who is a red Volkswagen (yeah he's alive now I guess.)
Ratchet and Jazz have both been dead for quite a while too, and Arcee once too sorta when she was three robots. Is this shit a reboot or do they truly not care?

>>11533971
Leaked storyboard.

>>11533973
They never cared. Bayformers is shit. Why do you think actual fans always hate it?

>>11533974
oh they're keeping with the BB style? I never liked that. it kinda tries to do both Bay and G1 together, and really accomplishes neither

>>11533973
This is reboot number 3 I believe.

>>11533969
Legit sounds like Cliffjumper's being replaced by Bee if he doesn't do well on test screenings.

>>11533982
It honestly sounds like it could be that because this was a sketch someone made based off the script today.

>>11533973
>Is this shit a reboot or do they truly not care?
¿Por qué no los dos?

>>11530908
I kind of wish Shard had a more feminine build. She's a partsformer, so it wouldn't be out of the question

>>11533908
>Got a partial refund for my Megatron's paint issues
So they sent you half a Que instead of a whole one?
Seriously, I'm still pissed.

>>11533965
>>11533969
>>11533974
>>11533983
Seems pretty cool if real. Nice variety of vehicles and character choices, if this is fake you did a good job. Also glad green ratchet is back, that glossy neon green and reflective white stripes looked so cool in the night night scenes of 07, even if there's only a small handful of toys that got the color right. The MPM got it wrong and had to be corrected with a KO lmao.

>>11534097
Is that sky lynx?

>>11534101
Yeah

>>11534097
whoa, I really like that sky lynx...
i can't imagine the altmode makes any sense, but fuckit

>>11534106
It's a real plane anon.

Would it be disrespectful to paint flames on a firetruck??

>Been waiting 40 days to get my Omega Prime.
What the fuck is going on? I've gotten stuff from China faster. Is FedEx this slow?

>>11534095
Gave me 15 back. Not perfect, but it almost paid off the paint set I ordered so it's acceptable.

>>11534109
huh, somehow it looks less ridiculous (though still pretty ridicks) with the 'necks' just that much shorter.

>>11534113
Exposing fire"fighters" as the closet pyromaniacs they are?

in 2035 there will be no transforming transformers anymore, only blokees
people who complain about this will be called out of touch boomers

>>11534132
>Gave me 15 back.
15 pieces of Que?
Damn shame they didn't offer me cash, or I would have just bought a replacement Excellion instead of taking a gamble and getting rewarded with junk they were looking to offload; I'm considering reselling him as it is, but we'll see if I'm able to recoup the money to then track down the replacement I SHOULD have gotten from the start.

>>11534300
>>11534301
That's cool as fuck. I love upgrade kits that add a size class and some chuck to the toy.

>>11534109
i'd like to see this as Doubleheader or Slugslinger.

>>11533965
>>11533969
all thats missing is Ironhide or at least a really tough autobot in it.

So what else was going to be in the Walmart Cybertron line that we're no longer getting?

>>11534442
A deluxe Red Alert, voyager Skywarp, leader Vector Prime

>>11534463
>Skywarp
What mold?

>>11534464
The cybertron Starscream?

>>11534347
indeed, but.. i don't recall this on the show, was this a thing?

>>11534493
There never was a Nemesis Prime on the show.

>>11534493
"Animated" Motormaster is based off his appearance from a Transformers Fanclub comic. He doesn't form Menasor with the other Stunticons in that, so it's interesting seeing DNA's take on him.

>>11534495
is it intended to be 'animated nemesis prime?' the head looks very familiar.
>>11534498
Ahhh okay, so it's partly taken from a comic, and partly original. Thanks anon, now I grok it.

I feel like starting a heated discussion today. What's the best song from The Transformers: The Movie?

I personally say it's the autobot city battle theme.

>>11534652
Dare To Be Stupid.

>>11534652
Dare

You know, I'm surprised DNA didn't announce an animated Nemesis upgrade kit.

>>11534652
What I've done

>>11534652
EZPZ, didn't even have to think
https://youtu.be/eflLwxh7cR0

>>11534652
it's still the main theme.

>>11534652
>he wants to discuss songs on /toy/
Yeah Im heated

>>11534652
The correct answer will always be Lion's version of the theme song.

I wish Cyberworld had 15-minute episodes instead of 5-minute. The CG is alright for what it is and the writing isn't bad for a little kids series.

I didn't realize this guy was out yet, haven't seen anyone talk about him.
He's pretty cool, wings are nice and maneuverable, wish he had ankle-tilts, though.

Pew-pew

Tetrajet is whatever. It's serviceable.
Transforms as you'd expect, the only troublesome part is the wings can be fiddly to tab in.

>>11534784
I like the series but I really wish the figures had elbows and guns. Hopefully a future playset comes with a bunch of guns.

also, ultra magnus with inner robot in cyberworld please hasbro

>>11534795
i'm so unsatisfied by guns like this.. when it's just a pipe that rests above the hand, and is that much thinner than the hand.

>>11534847
g2 had the right idea

guns should be chunky and spring loaded

So, just got an email that Rathalos Prime is about to ship. Despite the issues I have with him being yet another Airazor retool (with all the problems that entails), he's actually the only dude other than Onyx Prime that I'm excited about.

>>11534850
noooo fuck those.. i just mean like,
okay, optimus's ion blaster. it's iconic for a reason, right? love that as a sidearm
cheetor's gun? very cool. rattrap's pistol: also great.
>>11534856
got mine at BBTS already.. waiting for more to show up for the pile o' loot, but.. yay! i just wish he had an upgrade kit.

Missing Link Seaspray when?

>>11534934
A while likely.

>>11534934
when they get to the 1985 minibots. Give it 5 years, I think missing link will pick up steam like masterpiece did.

Man, I'm actually stocked for that retro Wheelie. There's a chance it could use the wild boy of Quintessa colors like the one packed with G2 Grimlock.

>86 Megatron's beam saber has a removable handle.
>You'd assume this is so other figures can hold it, but they added a ring at the very top that prevents figures with non-opening hands to hold it.
I don't get it.

>>11535028
It's not to let other characters hold it - it's so you can display Megs with the saber "turned off" by holding the handle minus the beam blade. They do the same thing with Gundams and any Star Wars Jedi figures.

>>11535028
Same with Skyquake/Dreadwind, Laser Prime swords. If main gimmick is 5mm compatibility then how retarded it is to prevent it?

>>11535031
Nope, the way it detaches is literally the whole shift under the bulb. In the movie, the deactivated blade still has that bulb on it so if they wanted it to be accurate, the blade (without the orb) should be the only bit detachable.

>>11534792
The absolute state of those lips. Did Takara have the internet sculpt that?

>>11534799
I like this. Like the BB movie altmode but good.

>>11535072

Stupid autocorrect

>>11533874
If I saw right, the next galaxy wave had some really neat stuff in it
Unicron head, an Ark, and Metroplex among others

So, did anyone else get an email for Amazon with a $5 refund on it for SS86 Megatron? I pre ordered him there and received him like two weeks ago when everyone else was getting theirs, I really like him. But I'm just woke up to an email saying Amazon was refunding me $5 for him since he briefly dropped to $55 or something during his pre-order window, and their Pre Order Price Guarantee or whatever automatically adjusts the price to the cheapest price it was listed for during the pre order window. Can't complain, I guess I got SS86 Megs for $55.

>>11535109

Yep, got a discount on Grimlock too and looks like the same will be true for Onyx Prime. Not a world of difference on the price, but it's nice nevertheless.

>>11516148 (OP)
holy shit i just opened the OP-image
i didnt want to buy the Alchemist prime (because the alt mode looks like jeep that a man with small penis would ride) but with these stickers he really looks cool like something magical-alchemy-related

Big news

The current little mcdonalds booth perfectly fits prime masters

>>11535036
What makes it even more retarded is the blade and hand guard are two separate pieces that have been glued together. You are right about the handle and the entire sword is completely retarded.

After a day of such exploration we are tired and sweaty - hiting some pizza restraunt and when we are home - watching movies and digging throught stuff we bought when im doing "SWOOOOSHHHH" sounds with my new transformer toy while my husban is making fun of me lol

Pain.

>>11535299
Looks like a mark on it, rather than a scratch. You might be able to buff that off with a damp paper towel

>>11535299
He's a cool lil guy

>>11535272

We will adopt a kid tho. We both have well paying job and a house to live in.
You will do neither.

I also have never heard of this. the use of 'current' suggests... this is a whole thing?
>>11535272
yeah I thought the same thing. what a letdown.
guy, give jesus a try and give women a try. neither are how you think they are (and the first one won't let you down)
>>11535366
that doesn't seem to be working. plus they're castrating all of our kids anyway, the few of us who even had any.

>>11535426
>this is a whole thing?

>>11535431
I don't get it... they're happy meal toys? but they're not toys. I mean maybe the truck is.

>>11535431
How self-referential, but damn I kind of want a little grill/fryer or drive-through. Not a kiosk though, I hate those irl and don't need a tiny one for fun.

>>11535431
I got them all except two of the meal trays and the fryer. Idgaf about the meal trays but the fryer stings

>>11535410

And rape it like all other gay couples do.
And a big family means nothing when none of them can stand you.

Wdym? My wife just straight up buys me stuff, pretty much all the time. Seems you've been hanging around with the wrong women.

>>11535299
wheelie does look pretty decent, same as most of the figures from recent.

it's impressive how the core class doesn't all look like hot ass. Pretty far cry from legends, which all look like they'd been bludgeoned.

transformers has always been a gay franchise and Optimus and Megatron have been hatefucking for 40 years

>>11535426
Jesus Christ was merely a reference to our Lord and savior Optimus Prime.

>>11535410
>we have enough shekels for a rape dungeon

I'm probably going to get different answers from asking this, but I'm still curious

What's the best way to store figures that are more at risk from discoloring than others, like white plastic or copious amounts of white paint? There's a good chance I'm going to be downsizing my shelf space soon and some figures will have to go into storage, but I want to take steps to ensure discoloring doesn't happen.

I had my CW Superion in a box in my closet for the last few years and discovered parts of him have discolored SLIGHTLY, so I'm a bit paranoid.

>>11535137
I've been going in on the toyhax sets more lately
Alchemist and Solus look good
Megatronus and Prima don't really add much in my opinion so I skipped them

>>11535480
does your wife have any single friends?
>>11535495
I mean put that the other way around and that sounds right.
>>11535596
To some extent, you can't prevent it, the plastic just decomposes. but keep it away from UV and heat, and you're as good as you're gonna get it. If you really want to spend the cash on a sealed shelf, they're available and reliable, but good lord the price rape. I wish there was a cheaper version made of just clear plastic, and also the size of a closet.

>>11535627
I get the feeling Alchemist is the sales dud so far, seeing a lot of him in stores, but only him.

>>11534934
They're not done using the ML Optimus Mold yet. Give it 10 more teases where its just the same fucking retarded reskin before they branch out and do something new again.

Did anyone make a KO of the Decepticon throne that came with SS86 Starscream/ Dramatic Capture set? I'm interested in getting one for my SS86 Megatron but not in paying the aftermarket prices for any of those sets.

Actually getting around to unpacking my suitcase from TFCon last month

So this my entire Blokee collection now
I forgot I got Hook
So now that tips the scale to where I should probably just get all of them

>>11535733
are they doing any kind of animated tie-in stuff for this line? because they have to cast Dana Snyder as this guy.

>>11535886
it's weird how I can automatically tell he's English but I can't tell why I can tell that.

>>11535889
Has a Marvel UK comic?

>>11535890
That, and he's a huge fag so it just fits

>>11535889
They all look like Ms Piggy

>>11535890
that helps.
but I swear I can see like 5 british people in his face, just off the top of my head. though I won't name names on account of nobody wants to hear they look like this guy.
>>11535893
YES. holy shit, thank you. I could never put woids to it before.

>>11535860
The black repaint of the throne Takara made is on BBTS for $30, you can probably find it elsewhere for similar.

>>11535914
Ah thanks! Will look into that.

>>11535872
In Blokees related news, the next Galaxy wave is apparently adding thigh swivels. Wave 7 added a ball joint to the hips and a second to the neck which was already a nice update. I want that Metroplex.

>>11535966
Never really been into Blockees but that Ark has my interest

Did everyone on the Prime production team secretly hate the human characters? I just got done watching Predacons Rising and it felt really weird that none of them were in it.

>>11535998
does that shock you? i'm sure it was forced on them. they did their best, but.. for their dramatic finale, there's no reason to have them around anymore.

>>11535998
I don't understand how anyone could hate Fowler. If there's one human character that needs to come back it's him.

Give us a Fowler/Simmons buddy cop show, Hasbro

>>11536002

No and it wouldn't surprise me if they were mandated in some way. It's just very strange to have these characters that were pushed so hard during the show's main run not even mentioned in its finale. I generally hate human characters in TF though, so it's not really complaint.

>>11536005

Fowler is based and the exception to this rule though. Maybe I just hate children.

>>11535998
Didn't it all take place in space?
>>11536005
Fowler was great. like I love Simmons, but Fowler is how you do Simmons seriously. Hell yes put them together.

>>11536011
That's how a lot of finales work in a lot of things. I like it. it's like we moved into a new era here and then we finished stuff up. the kids kinda GOT their ending with their dramatic.. uh... thing.. the episode with the tornado. and I liked Prime's kids. I also liked Carlos, and I think baymovie Sam was unironically a joy. and uh, Simmons, and Anthony Hopkins. That's about it for good humans in transformers unless I'm forgetting-
okay Captain Fantone and Sari too. but not Dr. Sumdac, he kinda sucked.

>>11535998
I can imagine that if I hadnt got a new figure in the last decade I too would want to come here to discuss songs and cartoons. Unfortunately this is not the correct board

>>11536234
Fag
>>11535998
Doesn't everybody always hate the human characters, since forever? Even Spike was kind of annoying back in the day, Chip too that cripple fuck.

So sea wins new fan poll, what do you want now?
Dreadnought could be cool but I think I want creature to win. I know it can be cringe depends what designers will pick but still.

>>11534463
i'll be honest, i'm not that shocked they were cancelled. Red Alert out of that Cannonball tooling would've sucked. especially when AOTP Armada Red Alert is also there. Skywarp would've been cool but also superfluous cause he never really had media appearances to back it up and Vector Prime, i have no idea what they were planning there. I'm not surprised walmart just said Sideways and Excellion are fine and will do.

Waspinator is awesome, bros. The head sculpt and colors rock, and I like having a Smart car that's not Bumblebee. It's made me want more Animated figures. Hopefully Bulkhead is good. I like to think of Waspinator as a miner drone given sentience by the Decepticons.

>>11536234
nah let's discuss the shows

>>11536536
Isn't he just "Wasp" if he's still a car?
>tfw no Glyph repaint

>>11536555
while this is the /toy/ board, I don't think that discussing the media that made these figures actually matter is a bad idea

I know there's that one faggot who buys transformers figures and doesn't care about the characters, but let's face it, they're a faggot.

>>11536617
>Buying transformers exclusively as toys without some kind of hyper fixation on another part of the media
Now THAT is the kind of autism I want to watch as a form of entertainment.

pot, kettle's on the phone. he says nobody uses pots and kettles anymore and he's sad.

>>11536617
Hey, man, caring about them as robot toys first over any fiction isn't what makes me a faggot.
Its the dick sucking that does that.

>>11536617
I spend literally hundreds of dollars at a time on Japanese robot toys from shows I've never watched

>>11536754
watch the shows!

Had a spare RotF Reverb, so I repurposed it into a Jetpack for Bumblebee! It's loosely based on Reveal the Shield Bee. As a bonus -- it even hitches!

I got worried because my Amazon Mixmaster preorder got canceled, Gamestop moved my preorder for him from September to October, and I haven't seen him at any of my 9 (yes 9) local Walmarts. I gave in and bought one from eBay for 60 bucks shipped. It'll end up saving me gas money and stress because i have a weird feeling he'llbe difficultto get. He should be here by Monday (assuming USPS doesn't pull its usual shenanigans). In the meantime, my Constructicon crew awaits his arrival...

>>11536904
oh wow, that really works.

>>11536917
Right? I like the shape the back "fins" have. Gives it more of a beetle-esq look. Gonna slap some moon yellow on it eventually.

Should I be worried if both shoulder ratchets on my legacy Skyquake suddenly started squeaking really loud when I lift his arms? I was playing with him a lot today and I'm hoping he isn't already wearing out.

>>11536982
Mine have been like that since i got him when he came out and he's still fine. Was actually just fiddling with him lamenting the fact that mold never got used for g1 skyquake or machine wars starscream.

>Trashmaster, Lio Convoy, Metalhawk, Animated Motormaster, and Animated Optimus are all close to deluxe prices on amazon.ca
>Tarn is still 40 CAD
Are any of these worth it, Transformers have been getting expensive I am so tired

>>11537048

Tarn needs to fucking go on sale already. I've had him sitting in my cart for months waiting for the price to drop. Animated Optimus and Motormaster are alright though. Can't speak for the others, though I've been thinking off getting Lio Convoy so my Magmatron could have someone to beat up.

>>11537050
I've been ignoring Transformers for so long, I don't even know what's going on anymore
My eyes lit up at seeing deluxe prices, but then I remember that those used to be voyager prices
I would really love a Tarn though, writing aside, it's a very (fun) edgelord design that tells you he murders people

>>11537056
yeah i'm still waiting for a bunch of guys to go on sale. i went to a target today and i didn't bother going to the toy aisle because it's always so disappointing, and often there's no transformers at all.

>>11537058
>Toysrus' Transformers aisles got smaller or moved next to the wrestling aisle
>Walmart stock was sometimes literally nonexistent
I don't even go to those places anymore, you sort of need stock for it to be worth visiting stores in-person to examine the toys that don't exist

>>11537062
toysrus died like 13 years ago didn't it

>>11537097
The one in Canada has been on life support since

So the sea based alt mode won

The two loudest groups appear to be HoS Shockwave (they haven't read the categories for the final vote) and Spinowave (coping and seething after being explicitly told any toy won't be based on fan art)

>>11537264
>they haven't read the categories for the final vote
Apparently most TF fans are illiterate idiots (which explains why IDW was popular), because the rules of the contest also state they'll be making an entirely new, original design. So they were never going to do HoS Shockwave or Spinowave, even if it was canon.

Now we're stuck with all of maybe five or six possible alts and they suck for the character.

>>11537274
>Now we're stuck with all of maybe five or six possible alts and they suck for the character.
Octopus Soundwave would be kino

>>11537277
That would be a Reaper from Mass Effect and now I want it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclops_(copepod)

>>11537274
I didn't vote because democracy is fake and gay.

>>11537372
As soon as I saw Sea Creature was an option it was the only thing on my mind. Fuck the dinosaur, let's get a real eldritch freak. There just aren't enough cephalopod figures

Proceed to crabwave
It is only logical

>>11537462
Crabwave is also acceptable

>>11537264
I'm certain it'll just be a cybertronian submarine, which will be super easy for them to do for Shockwave

>>11537489
You mean an upside down laser gun again?

>>11537492
Correct

>>11537264
>Spinowave
So it's just a retool remold of kingdom beast Megatron.

>>11537489
I hope creature wins because I'd love something we don't normally get, like a Dolphin or a whale.

Finally got my Omega Prime and Magnus is yellowed pretty much everywhere. Who do I contact?

>>11537384
i wasnt aware voting was actually open to like, regular people.
this was always phrased as if it was THEM voting, not US.

>>11537539
If it was an internal vote, there would be no reason to show it off. Just drop slightly different version off in a future stream.

>>11537532
Haslab? Contact Hasbro.

>>11537543
oh well I also didn't have a horse in the race. i like the spino idea though

>>11537760
in fairness, original designs is something people asked for...

>>11537462
Crabwave to lead into a Rampage remold.

>>11537784
...which could lead into a Shokaract. I'd be down for that, considering I always wanted that dude.

Wonder when Amazon and BBTS will start shipping out Mixmaster

>>11537794
>all that brown BW era plastic
All of them are probably long since dust in the wind. That shit was as bad as GPS.

>>11537797
What is bronze but browner gold. In plastics, anyway.

>>11537760
Nevermind what CEO John Hasbro is saying, Mark and Evan already heavily implied that if the HoS stuff sells gangbusters it can give them the leverage to push Shockwave
So... I've done my part

>>11537813
it's so hard to imagine anything selling well these days

>>11537797
>All of them are probably long since dust in the wind
Hence why I never bothered hunting for him on the aftermarket. While I doubt he's as bad as Randy, I do still remember hearing reports of his crab legs crumbling at the joints.
Still, if they remade him with modern plastics instead of the problematic ones from back then, it would be kino.

>>11537796
They pushed the date forward by a week just last night. It will probably get pushed again to like the first week of September

>>11537264
Have they said what size class it will be? Because as good as nuclear sub-wave or Kraken-wave sound, at deluxe class it will be nothing but underwhelming.

>>11537462
Squidwave

>>11538093
yeah a deluxe sub is kind of dorky

>>11538093
My money's on whatever this ends up being being a deluxe

>>11538095
>>11538097
Ah well, deluxe kraken will look good with Seawatch, Boater and fuckin' Dive-Dive at least...
Mark and Evan can sit on a deluxe subwave.

>>11537264
Hammerhead sharkwave please
