It’s been days since the last thread died and no one has created a new one.Newage Drift is shipping out now, hopefully Blurr isn’t far behind.
>>11900848Right now I’m waiting for that black Perceptor recolor.Other than that I’m waiting for Bingo Toys to drop more info on their Technobots. Their second release convinced me to go all in after clearing some doubts I had.
>>11900969GDI
>>11900969>>11900971Any issues?
>>11900978Yeah I'm a moron
>>11901026HUH!?
Waiting for my waifu.
This SD BB is cute as hell
>>11901459
>>11901459>>11901460He's adorable. I have him and the upcoming G1 Optimus on preorder.
Who here ordering SD Rolling Thunder Optimus?
>>11901474
>>11901477
>>11900848Despite a few nitpicks (I’d prefer smaller door kibble, thicker thighs, and lower knee placement) I really like this design. Cool that the robot mode references the Flame Toys design so heavily, despite some proportional differences and an earth-based car mode.
>>11901503I hope we see more Legends+ comic figures from Newage. Hot Rod, Arcee, or Whirl would be cool to see. Or even War Within Optimus.But I’m also fine if S-03 is something else entirely, given that S-01/02 don’t really match.
>>11901514This feels like a parallel universe where Iron Factory steadily matured/refined as a company, instead of randomly dropping a samurai figure every so often (which still have simplistic engineering and sculpting).
>>11901474Make it a SD Nemesis and I'm there.
>>11901357Got my ship notice from ShowZ today. Can't wait. I'm hoping it's good enough to buy at least one repaint. I'm always a sucker for Paradron Medic Arcee repaints.
>>11901514>given that S-01/02 don’t really match.This is my biggest problem with Ronin. It's too big to be legends scale, it's too small to be proper CHUG "deluxe scale." I just don't understand what they were thinking with the scaling, especially with the S-02 designation. Romulus was too small for CHUG scale as well but they were trying to scale it with the Siege/Earthrise Prime from what I've heard.
>Finally a fractyl toy >They replace bronze with an ugly yellow wtf why their other two colors of this mold were great. If you like this guy you are doomed not even Hasbro cares enough to make a repaint. At least transart did Packrat.
Do they still do OS versions of the Hasbro figures
>>11902016I think people have been blasting Metagate loudly enough online that they'll cave and correct the colors... I hope.Also, I'm really glad MP Rattrap got KO'ed recently. It gives me hope that they'll release it in Packrat colors before Takara does.The TransArt Packrat is really great, BTW.
>>11902026Thanks I don't have a Chinese account to know people are complaining to give me hope lol. I own that Packrat and I love him . It's too bad they never got a chance to do the rest of the Wreckers.
Actually almost forgot about these boysShowed up the other day and they're pretty solid despite being like %80 the same mold. They still feel noticeably different and have a fair amount of different transformations steps
>>11903116Just got them tooI've noticed a few people not folding the tabs into his back
Are there any 3P figures of Knock Out from Prime? I have the original toy and liked the look of the R.E.D. one, but the latter was extremely gummy.
>>11903447Unfortunately notThe only toys in prime are from APC toys which are improved KO’s, unfortunately not knockout or breakdown yet though
>>11903434I THINK I got mine right. Didn't look at instructions at all but it's been fun seeing how well they engineered some stuff and how things kinda tab in and set firm. My only complaint and maybe it's mine but my Wild Rider has some noticeable sprue marks there and thereAlmost Magic Square level. Maybe I got a rough one tho
>>11903447Not yet but given how wild APC went making an entirely new mold nearly for Airachnid I'm willing to be eventually if they do the full cast we'll see a new Knockout that actually does him wellI'm still hoping Starscream is soon
>>11903662Iirc that toy was based on a custom someone had made, so unless someone made a custom screen accurate Knockout don't hold your breath.
>>11903711only women care about knock out and those fan girls dont buy toys last I checked
Does anyone have the Cang Toys Insecticons? I kinda wanna get the not-Bombshell for a repaint job I have in mind and he's quite cheap on the aftermarket; any issues I should be aware of?
>>11903728I have the axe beetle and scorpion (have stag beetle on preorder) the things that you need to worry about are squeaky tight joints and sharp molding kind of like APC Megatron if you have that toy. The plastic also feels like chinesium mystery meat so who knows how long these toys will last. I wouldn't use any potentially caustic paints in any case for a custom job.
Final price for MM prime is $280 on ShowZ
>>11903660Mine tooJust behind the door on the left side so there was a little gapI just filed it down a little bit and it’s great now
>>11903779>squeaky joints>questionable feeling plastic>lack of tabbing partsYep, sounds like Cang
>>11903898Oh and to add onto that, I had to tighten his right leg too as it was a little looseLuckily you can reach the screw without disassembling
Fair price or too high?
>>11903943It's Bayshit, so you deserve to pay out the nose for your bad taste
>>11903943I think 250 would have been the sweet spot, but they cornered the hell out of UT so they know they can play the game.And yes it's probably like $215 before ShowZ bakes in shipping, but the point still stands.
>>11904090this is what i grew up with boomer :3
>>11903943Their BB Optimus was about $250 before upgrades and that seems like a simpler build with less paint. Looking at their page it makes me wonder what kind of repaints we'll get. There's definitely a lot of potential to do cool decos like Nightwatch and Defender. The bootleg trio of Purple Nemesis + Teal Nemesis + Ultra Magnus is getting a bit tiring.
>>11904090look at the incel seeth about how much more successful bayverse is compared to slop like bumblebee or one
>>11903943I don't think its entirely unfair as it looks like another stunner. Being first to market against UT and FOMO will carry it, especially since they are splitting the pot with two versions instead of parts swapping.
>>11903943Too high but if you're willing to remind yourself that a non-transforming official merch variant exists for an even higher price, you might be able to convince yourself easier. For me, I'll wait for the jet parts addons, which will likely shoot up in price like MM01's coveted upgrade set.
>>11901357i feel this is kind of an unpopular opinion on a gooner infested site like this but i really would prefer more non sexualized fembots that look nice standing next to my other bots. Which is why the belly button irks me so much, this is really nice otherwise
>>11904766I prefer the rare middle ground like MMC Azalea or TF Prime First Edition Arcee. That CyberGoddess looks too stylized, too weeb
>>11904828>MMC AzaleaI wish they'd reissue or improve her
Out of the loop for a bit. Any 3rd parties developed new mini-cons outside of Fans-Hobby doing the weapon trios?
>>11904906No one doing UT but FH brother
My first dip into third part Transformers. I'm a suckered for bugs and U saw the two together for $65 and couldn't say no.Excited to open em up
Baiwei's Animated Nemesis Prime is on sale on ShowZ so I grabbed one to go with my Optimus.
Anyone interested in Micromasters?
>>11905697Pretty posable
>>11905605I already have the regular red Prime. Motormaster is tempting but I'll definitely get Toxitron if they do him.
>>11905605For less than £12 after shipping that's a steal and a half.
I recently got into collecting Legends, I got NA Sixshot and he's cool as fuck. I now want a bunch of NA figures and have Magnus on the way and EX Perceptor on pre-order.
>>11906065Magnus is really great honestly. Yea it's the Optimus who was already great but the legs have a noticeably different engineering
>>11906065>>11906081
>>11906145>Newage did a Solus Prime from Arcee forever ago>Never did another prime sinceManThe Trailbreaker/Hoist mold would probably work for Alchemist Prime or imagine Jetfire Mold getting retooled somehow into a Tank for The FallenI can almost see it
>>11905697>>11905698Are these technically legends scaled?Not that I care because I'm throwing them in there anyway because I like Dr.Wu stuff but just curious.
>>11905697Yeah I'm all in (new molds anyway) for Dr Wu
>>11905697I preordered them mostly because I lost my original Micromasters. They do look nice though. But I'm really looking forward to their Dinobots.
>>11906248They're OG sized so they fit with everythingIf you're going by real scale, then probably legends yeah
>>11906462>scale in Transformers Just call it a budget class like Hasbro does.
>>11906497Well it’s show scale with that legend scale Star saber
>>11906145Pretty much exactly how it happened
""You Can Pay Balance Now!"
>>11905697>>11905698Two new models just got announced.
>>11908594They were announced a while ago, just after the first two were announced, but the colours are wrong, they’re half zone and half hasbroIt’s
>>11908637I knew I saw two pairs of Micromasters on ShowZ but then one of the listings disappeared. I thought I misremembered.
Newage H38 Bullitt (Dead End)I'm curious why Dragstrip and Wildrider are listed as a 2-pack but Breakdown and Dead End are listed separately. My only guess is that Breakdown and Dead End will include some combiner kibble or something.
>>11908730Looks good. I'm all-in for the G2 versions.
>>11908730Wasn't a fan at first glance but he's growing on me. I really want to see Motormaster though.
Are these guys any good, or is there some issue with them I should be aware of? Saw them going for a pretty alright price on Ali recently and I'm seriously tempted.
>>11911391I have a clear version and it does the job of being a sword. It's just going to be too heavy for Hastak stuff though.I don't think you'd have any issues of them breaking, especially that version.
How is that Initial D Drift? I don't typically buy third party stuff but I love Initial D and I love Drift so I really want it.
>>11911832Pretty fucking cool. I really like the alternate concept head. He's a little awkward in proportions but the alt mode is top notch. There's a few reports of exploding fingers on the hands but mine haven't had that issue (yet).
>>11911847I might pick one up then. I know we'll never get an official collab and the collab line is spotty at best anyway.
>>11911788I like mine a lot, but even as someone that likes complex transformations, his a bit much. He's the only figure in my collection that I can't get the alt mode to line up just right. Other than that, the fingers on my figure haven't exploded, but they are very prone to falling apart. I am very fond of him though, there's something about the scale that feels great. I think it's from growing up with the Alternators line where the robot modes were always limited, whereas this one has all the joints and features you could ever want.
Which 3rd party transformer has the best articulation?
Will anyone else take up the mantle of making FoC designs? Planet X was peak.
>>11912313MMC has some wildly good stuff. Perfect Effect Warden was damn good too
>>11912351Shockwave was a pretty meh release, his head isn't even screwed together so just lightly pinching his ears makes his head explode
>>11912313Double recommend MMC's Orion Paxes and a lot of the MMC comics line in general. Another half-recommend is my most recent buy, UniqueToys Red Dasher (Ferrari) and I shit you not, that guy's shoulders and double jointed elbows makes him one of the few TFs who can pull off dyamic tactical firearms poses. The downside is that his fingers aren't articulated so he can't really hold firearms with trigger guards like say, Macfarlene weapons, but there's a KO of him now called DO02 Dino that fixes his fingers and adds a more movie accurate collar, but at the cost of being shorter.
>>11912351Planet X announced recently they were doing Soundwave next.
>>11913253Locutus? Of Borg?
>>11913253>Planet X still aroundHoly shit>No Warpath still
The wait for Newage to release Breakdown or even remotely tease Superion or Bruticus is killing meI just want my Aerialbots or a Bruticus
https://youtu.be/xwwQd_tMEUo?is=JNraEcZI6BNU08HyMech invasion is starting three size classes? Small vehicle voltron Medium Dinobots/ constructiconsLarge Bruticus
>>11918823>>11918824>Brutics being made and big boy>THREE fucking Dinobots already shown offWe're so back
>>11919493I should bust these guy back out, they're great
>>11919524I was into them for them looking somewhat Cybertronian but fuuuuck they really surprised meI'm looking forward to the add on truck and the Bruticus
>>11919493>>11919584I've already got my preorder in for swole-ndle
>>11919524>>11919493>>11919584Is there a good stylized Megatron that will fit in with these guys? In bot mode they are the size of a Leader Dinobot, so Rioter Despotron only works with the relatively shorter combined mode.
Pretty sure Robot Toys Primal 2.0 is scheduled to release this month, personally my most “important” figure of the year
>>11919916What are you going to do with your 1.0?
>>11919873Monocrat Megatank is probably the biggest Megatron, he’s about 10cm taller than them
>>11919916I'm patiently waiting for Transmetals from these guys. Unless they're crazy and make a Universe/SG repaint.
>>11919955Realistically it will live in a shoebox for years to come. It’s a solid figure, but a mini MP season 1 Primal is something I’ve dreamed of since the G1 legends scene proved it was possible.
Weird one from APC. First Edition Arcee, Transmutate colors, new (but not accurate to anything) head sculpt.
>>11920729Looks a little modified
>>11920729We could have skipped this entirely manI was REALLY hoping next APC was Starscream or a Ratchet
Anybody own the Iron Trans or MMC Drift?Or any of the Drifts? Best ones?
>>11920729>but not accurate to anythingThey made some origin comic for Transmutate comic and she was a Prime Arcee recolor in it (you know, before being royally fucked up by a faulty stasis pod and all that)
>>11921245I just received Newage Drift. Great little figure aside from the chunky door kibble. I knew what to expect, but I’m somehow still surprised how much it gets in the way.
>>11920729I've always wanted APC to do a Transmutate deco of their Arcee, the original Collector's Club one is functionally unobtainable.Probably would have preferred it to not have the gormless comic book headscupt, but it'll grow on me.I wonder how much of it is made of painted transparent plastic?
>>11921737Looks like the 2 side panels + rear piece
Ok this looks incredible. Not sure if CHUG or MP scale.
>>11921752
>>11921758This is exactly the type of stylization I like to see - exaggerated portions and dynamic poseability, but not edgy. Too many non-toon figures tiny heads, brick-house bodies, and egregious surface detailing.
>>11921775Looks like it has one of the cleanest truck modes too. Think of how good any transforming toy could be if it had as many unique iterations as G1 Prime.
>>11921752>>11921758>>11921775>>11921779I still think the Newage Optimus is my fav so far but could be better chest and in a few area'sIf this ISN'T the dogshit soft ass material Magic Square uses then it'll be damn near perfect
>>11921752>>11921758>>11921775>>11921779Looks MPI wonder if it’s DX9
>>11913249Huh, I have that same problem with women.
>>11921752Confirmed MP scale next to Magic Square. Transforms within 50 steps, by the same designer as that TFP Beast Hunters OP figure.
>>11924553These tapered Minecraft blocks don’t 100% improve on MS-02’s back kibble, hopefully they can smooth that out somehow.
>>11924563The silhouette is still broken at a basic three-quarter viewing angle, just slightly different than MS. Hopefully they continue to refine.
>>11911832>>11911847Got my MMC Stray Alternative in and he's so great feelingAs one mentioned tho his left hand, the thumb popped off cause at the base of it it's like it's sliiiightly outwardSo it'll pop on but it pops off if I move it basicallyHe's tricky transformation to get the legs folded up and smooth but the engineering is so nice. I'm a sucker for Alt Modes that can open Car Doors or Hoods and such.
The video was released early and already removed, but here’s Magic Square Wheeljack.
>>11925612TFcon 3rd party panel is Saturday 10/24 by the way
>>11925612>>11925613That’s the first perfectly shaped Wheeljack I’ve ever seen
>>11925612>>11925613I need to see a toy deco because maaan is toon Wheeljack one of the saddest decos in G1
>>11925676Disagree, he just needs a better quality finish
>>11925612>>11925613Totally in on this, but I don't know if I should spoil myself and get their Computron while I'm at it.
>>11925612>>11925613>Soft ass gummy plastic and 3D Print looking shitMagic Square is the X-Transbots of Legends Scale
>>11925707I don't think I'll ever get the soft plastic thing.I don't mean to sound rude but is it an autistic sensory thing
>>11925709You can have chinese supergirl cosplayers stomp all over your toys and they won't break
>>11925713Is that like, a giantess fetish roleplay thing?
>>11925612Here’s the video:https://youtu.be/uCCWbCeemB8?si=bdqwej3LKwkiK78y
>>11926125
>>11925725>anon doesn’t know the magic square lore
>>11926127
>>11920729And another one
>>11926183
>>11926183>>11926184>Tailgate that we barely even got to see in the flashbacksOkay wait holy shitGOD let them get into WFC/FoC molds next and do a GlyphEven tho technically a cannon version to do would be an animated Bee mold or Universe/Classics Bee/Cliffjumper
Animated Devastator???
New Sixshot coming
>>11926780Does anyone even want an Animated Devastator? I feel like we're going to get a repeat of Huffer and Pipes where it flops because the character is too obscure. We still need decent versions of the main cast.
>>11926780>>11926994ARE WE BACK? WAIT
>>11926994I'd be curious to see it actually. I think it would make more sense than that one Devastator by Moon Studios or whatever its called.
>>11927117I think another problem is that there isnt an official design for him beyond this silhouette and the idea of using Bulkhead for the torso would make the colors clash horribly.
>>11927134He’s like Hauler from G1Also it’s not hard to just have a new paint finish on him, which I’m sure they would’ve done in the show if it ever happened
>>11926994Possibly, but Mech Ideas branched into a couple of directions before croaking the first time. As much as I would love more Animated done up like the original toys or stylized like the JP intro/The Cool, "highly desired teams" could mean anything in the context of shit that hasn't been done. For example, Scavengers from IDW or a RID Rail Racer. >t. Bought two sets of MI Huffer and Pipes in both colorways
Magnificent Mecha Prime, likely a final sample.
UT Bay Prime, likely also a final sample.
>>11926994I wish someone would do for Animated what APC has done for Transformers Prime.
>>11927148It would have worked as a supplemental toy back in 2008 when we already had 3 normal Bulkheads on the shelves, but in 2026 the idea of having the first and likely only modern 3PMP Bulkhead be massively gimped for a combiner and also be the wrong color wouldn't fly.
Mecha Invasion Brawl proto pics are out
>>11927494is there an image of the tanki could go for a good tank
Looks like either Jazz or Datsun bros are incoming
>>11927552Probably the Datsuns
>>11927552>>11927565Guess I was righthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxUABWteX3c
>>11927496
>>11927573Strange looking dudes
>>11927675The asymmetrical compression of Smokescreen’s front bumper is a funky trick
>>11927676Toonstreak is my favorite flavor (although I prefer Silverstreak’s vehicle mode). Still, it’s a weird mold. The windshield kibble is a bit of a wtf.
>>11927678As much as I love mass-shifting engineering, I kind of prefer the look of the Apollo Toys Datsun bros that were just revealed
>>11927685Neither company addressed the thing I was really hoping to see at legends scale, which is toon accurate feet. Like it or not, DX9’s Datsun design is the only one that’s ever attempted this.
Orlando's turned into a twofer>>11927675Tits too small
>>11927573>>11927675>>11927676>>11927678Hoo baybeee
>>11927678>>11927676>>11927685Will probably get the Barricade variant since I think the dark colors hides my issues with the leg kibble looking bayformer-ish
Huh
Have you ever had something pre-ordered so long you aren't even sure if you want it anymore?
>>11927922I lost interest in completing Fanstoys Menasor because of Deadend.I still have the other four, and I'll probably get rid of Dragstrip and Wildrider because they pale to Breakdown and Motormaster.
Huh..
>>11927922>>11927931I don’t think this is due to how long it’s takenIt’s definitely due to the cost
>>11927975There's a variety of reasons why i lost interest to it, but yeah cost is one of them.For Dragstrip to cost like $50 more than Breakdown while being a significantly worse action figure next to it was the largest killing blow though.
>>11927975Honestly $82 isn't bad shipped for thatI wanted original color and couldn't find it under $130 for a long timeOne of the only Iron Factory I wanted since the Windblade was perma sold out in seconds and repeated it for 3 reissues
>>11927922Yes.
>>11927998Wait what?
>>11927998DAMN sure not worth it lmao
>>11925709It is some autist. They've been here years bitching about MS now.
>>11925709NTA but nylon is just a lot less appealing looking
>>11927675Somehow they look better in the official promo shots. Still odd design choices and I don’t see myself buying multiple, but maybe one.
>>11928326Really not what I hoped/expected to see from a 2.0 Datsun, but they did what they did.
>>11928328Similar to their new Skyline Drift figure, I feel like they tried to shove too much of the alt mode in the lower legs (and it looks messy on the inner sides). The tiny thighs only exacerbate that issue. And not doing something new with the foot transformation is a missed opportunity.
>>11928333I’ve always stuck with Newage over Magic Square, but MS Wheeljack is the perfect comparison for how to properly handle leg articulation/proportions
>>11928337Also while the shoulder missiles partsforming is to be expected, not integrating the light bar is kind of inexcusable. That would be a deal breaker for me, but luckily I’m not interested in the cop variants.
>>11926780Do you think we'll be seeing this at today's panel or is it just cope that they got the date wrong?
Third Party Cyberverse, ain't that a treat?
We heard you like Fortress Maximus
How about 2?
How about 3?
>FT Rodimus Prime coming in 2030!
>>11928975An actual scale picture is niceBig Mac Base seems to have all the Fort Max bells and whistles plus a bunch of light up parts
>>11928966God bless
>>11926780Lol, lmao, kek, rofl even.
Straight up Punch Counterpunching it

>>11928962>>11929031He’s straight up Jetfire sized
New legends scale seeker (I think from the same company that revealed a Brawn prototype earlier this year)
>>11929189Fuck yes dude, I hope it happens. Never hurts to have tons of Seekers, they really make a collection pop.
>>11929189
>>11929204
>>11929205Even more interesting, they have a G1 tank Megaton in the works too
>>11929207
RT Transmetal Primal
>>11929218And Megatron 2.0. The t-rex legs look a bit ridiculous but I’ll survive
>>11929221>The t-rex legs look a bit ridiculous but I’ll surviveThey're both retools of the originals
>>11928987God, Animated really is cursed.
Figure of the year.
>>11929274most people wont get it before Q3 2027 so might be fig of the year 3 years in a row
>>11929302What’s the point of showing this?Why not use one of his new pics?
The upper arms aren’t perfect, but honestly I love it. The perks of only caring about visual design and not the characters.
>>11929204>>11929205The intake hinges are ugly and I don't care for the memecast chest(?) but otherwise this is looking really goodSomehow they're the first to actually do the wings properly
>>11929338Something about the ‘86 Cybertronian vehicles speaks to my soul
>>11929342Should be about 13cm tall I guess
>>11929338I think FT really let their old design choices speak out here.Not that is a bad thing, but this fits so well with their old 86 movie bots even though they are pretty much outdated.
>>11929338>>11929342>>11929349Sculptwise he looks pretty good, not too bland. That said I worry those elbows might not even reach 90.
>>11929274Where? Is it behind those two ugly pieces of shit?
>>11929408Do you do this every time you see something you don't like
>>11927162This doesn't look half bad but the use of grey plastic instead of painted silver really kills it's presence.
>>11929189>>11929204>>11929205Is this not just a modified Newage Seeker?>>11929207>>11929216If this FEELS more like a Newage i'll gladly get itBut if it's that soft ass gummy plastic Magic Square uses I'm definitely out >>11929302>It took Fanstoys another 2 years to do an actual Optimus, This late into the lineCrazy>>119293492.0 Parkour..please
>>11928337I don't get why newage gave up on double hinged knees, it's really annoying being stuck with shitty 90s for no good reason
>>11929485We still have em it's just some releases designs don't fully take advantage of em
>>11929485I'm not calling NA's output this year is bad or anything, but it just feels extremely peculiar to the point I wonder if something happened to one of their designers.Or maybe I'm dying for triple changers.
>>11929492>Best option for a Legends Astrotrain/Octane is MFTManGuess i'm getting those
>>11929493I don't even think they're bad, I just know NA or MS can clean their work way more.I'm mostly pinning for NA though, because I know they would make a clean JP G1 Toy Astrotrain.
>>11929454>Is this not just a modified Newage Seeker?I thought so too at a glance but actually looking at it, it's almost entirely different. The only real similarity is the front skirts for the legs
>>11929454>2.0 Parkour..pleaseWhy?
>>11929671As much as I like him he has a really loose left arm in the elbow and no way to tighten itThe front bumper parts get loose and pop offHe feels a bit limited range compared to others and he's quite old by now
>>11929714The arm is loose yes, you can tighten it with some KikiI really don't think it needs a 2.0, just some QC fixes
>>11929714Anon he’s three and a half years old.We didn’t get a new Optimus from Takara until seven years after MP-44.It’s not old.
>>11929727Yea I guessJust feels like he wears down easily and I've barely posed or messed with him a ton like I do genuine MP's. Prob just tism feeling like he could be betterI just want a good MP style Cliffjumper>>11929822>No official MP-44 reissue still>Still $500-600+>Have to cope with Reproduction
>>11928975>>11928981This will probably be my fort max. FT is just too damn big to be practical. As long as he's bigger than spreem and the combiners I'm happy.
>>11930221it's really cool, but still too big for meGood for mainline collectors but I'll wait for a legend scale oneAll my combiners and titans are legend scale and the rest are MP
>>11930263I actually prefer CHUG scale titans with legends stuff cause they feel properly massive as big cityformers should be. I understand not everyone has the space for that, though.
>>11929302is anyone actually excited for this
>>11930291The inner Bot for their Magnus was so fucking good and gorgeous Pearl style Paint/color but in usual Fans Toys it is susceptible to chipping or wear and given their transformations are like trying to do 4 different rubik's cubes, 3 of which are ENTIRELY different mechanics that the usual Rubik's Cube it's a bit hard admittedly to be excited for thisLikeF U CK this looks good but I KNOW it'll be $300 range, a literal lead brick in weight and the most obnoxious transformation imaginable with possibility to chip paint/color off
>>11930307>$300 rangedoubtful, it wont come with a trailer
Well that was frustrating and annoying, surely there was a better way for what is essentially a shell...
>>11930663> surely there was a better wayNot if you want good looking modes
>>11930706Nobody would care if it was an abstract cybertron cycle if it meant getting rid of the shellforming. Nicee and its consequences has ruined 3P fembot transformations.
>>11930706>>11930732I dont mind how its a shellformer, there just could of been a better way.
>>11930732Do you see how it looks like a car and not some random cybertronian shape while also being a sexy robot?You don’t get that without some caveats
>>11930732I can’t deny that the figure looks good for what it is, but I would have much preferred a “Bumblebee Movie” style bike mode with a zero-kibble robot mode.
Info from Robot Toys>Rampage is fuckhuge, stuffed with ratchets and play features>They’re modifying Megatron 2.0’s legs for t-rex mode, per fan complaints>Transmetal Primal is coming next month>Primal 2.0 is unfortunately delayed while they iron out the fur printing
>>11929342My nigga. They're like the coolest concept cars
>>11930934>Rampage is fuckhuge, stuffed with ratchets and play featuresSo he's about a foot tall and probably a foot wide
>>11930953Passing on FT Jabber TWICE pained me to no end, but I just wasn’t willing to risk the broken engineering. Favorite TF character design ever, hopefully someone makes a better Blurr someday.
>>11930965>better BlurrI don't think he'll get betterthere's literally only one step in the transformation that's godawfulEverything else about the figure is pretty good
>>11930965>>11930967I really do want their Hot Rod. I want a GOOD G1 style Hot Rod and the new MPG is literally a $180+ glorified Studio Series and the OG is..well lolThe MMC is IDW style and while I like that he's harder to find.I really like G1 style Hot Rod
>>11930971>I really do want their Hot RodI don't, I have almost every FT figure but their original Hotrod looks like shit to meWe need a new one
>>11930971Maybe FT will do a 2.0 sometime after their Rodimus. Crazy that people have already created a realistic mockup from that almost-silhouette reveal.
>>11930995Based off this I think
Very excited for Magic Square Wheeljack but I'm probably going to regret impulse buying MS Computron along with him.It really has been a while since I'm been this excited for a release.
>Newage reissuing the main 3 SeekersHey neat
>>11931766It’s totally in response to that other legends seeker that popped up recently.
>>11931766I wouldn't be against a retool that gives him better feet, the die-cast heels are too short.
Ok damn, Iron Factory Dragstrip came to party
>>11932158They managed to fit the samurai motif while making it basically free of kibble
>>11932158>>11932159Still kinda just ugly cause IF style is too ehhhhh
>>11932159>>11932158Little too block-y for my tastes, but Iron Factory is goated, so.. we'll see.
