RiD Menasor.

I knew it was a stupid purchase when I bought it, but I'm such a huge mark for the Stunticons and I was left so disappointed with the Combiner Wars one that I just wanted SOMETHING else.

I can't bring myself to throw it out, but I'm not sure how to get rid of it.

Anons im so excited and happy.
I found this G1 Scourge in a random antique shop - he cost me 5eur and he was in a pile of broken toy cars. He was half-transformer and looked miserable so they just got rid of him and probably didnt even know that this is a G1 transformer.

Damn he is so cool (the photo is bad but im tired and going to bed soon). I didn't know they had SO MUCH METAL in transformer toys back then.
He is heavy and the whole figure feels so damn good in hands.
His joints still have that CRACK sound when you move them around.
He basically just has stickers damaged and gun missing. Overall he still holds up and transforms.
I'm so glad i found him. Some 80s kid had lots of fun with this toy and now he's my bro!

We're in a strange era where it seems fuckin' anything is possible. Walmart is, supposedly, gearing up to stock an entire subline featuring canceled G2 repaints. So who knows.

That said, keep an eye on Gen Selects in the next 9-10 months. That might be the best bet.

FINALLY got my Masterpiece Movie Starscream (Better late than never - I totally forgot that I had even ordered him). Not doing a full review - just this quick blurb and 3-4 pics of my new angry space Dorito.
While I wasn't a huge fan of Bayverse designs, Starscream's was one of the rare few exceptions for me, mostly because he looks genuinely alien; while this release of him captures a pretty close to screen-accurate likeness of him (and has those cool Cybertronian tattoos), he's a bit lacking in the articulation department, specifically in the forearms (which only really go up and down on the elbow and can't swing side-to side) and his complete lack of a functioning waist (which is unfortunate but understandable due to how his transformation works). The swappable wrist attachments and the Gauss Cannon he seems to have swiped from an A-10 are pretty nice, and I really, really like his jet mode. Fun to look at, but he's most definitely a display piece and not really suited for play.

actually no. Both the old leader mold and this one both came in regular and tattooed flavors.
they are the same size in both modes, but their transformations are different and the MP's robot mode is just a bit better proportioned.
regular leader one also comes with fireable missiles, which i have somehow lost one of while discovering how to remove its battery (very difficult to find the battery slot)

Here some quick backstory for these two sets, from the IDW1 comics.

>Megatron
Megatron was a lower class miner during the period where Cybertron's government was extremely fascist and corrupt. He initially sought peaceful reform through his writings, but the government's violent response to that convinced him that might makes right.

>Ratbat
Ratbat, through his heartless buracracy, was the one that unwittingly set the events in motion that led to Megatron's first taste of murder. He also funded Megatron's growing uprising, unaware of how powerful Megatron would grow to be. For his trouble, Ratbat was later reduced to his humanoid form to one of a bat.

>Shockwave
The mysterious and charming senator friend of Orion Pax seemed to have his fingers in many pies, crusading, sometimes in shady ways, to move Cybertronian society towards something better. In response, the government captured him and mind raped his emotions away, hoping to quell his passion for upheaval. Instead, they ended up removing everything that was holding Shockwave back. Oh, and they also removed his face. Out of spite.
Of particular note, before the reveal that the nameless senator was actually Shockwave, the comic had been implying that this was Ultra Magnus as a red herring - including the color scheme.

>Orion Pax
Well, right off the bat, pre-war IDW1 Orion was a cop, not a data clerk. He was one of the only good cops on the force, and walked in on the government's attempt to have Megatron (then still peaceful and falsely arrested) beaten to death in a jail cell. Outraged, Orion stormed into the senate building and confronted them on their corruption. The only reason he wasn't killed for his outburst was through the helping hand of pre-mind rape Shockwave.

Probably the best attempt at him but still underwhelming for current standards. His transformation was needlessly made more complicated, resulting in shittier legs, his shoulders are G1 cubes for some reason, and (the 2nd-worst part for me after the legs, honestly) he lacks his big fat rear bumper. It's an iconic part of his robot's silhouette, so even though the rear part of the car is still there on his back, it looks and feels incomplete.
He's an alright figure in a vacuum, just I'm not getting him til a big sale.

Great question, anon. Let's try to figure it out together in real time
Pros:
-looks great, excellent color matching to the OG and a great, albeit boring headsculpt.
-good freedom of movement, a bit hindered by the shoulders and leg panels, but if you treat him like a Beast Wars character and don't mind moving bits around all the time, he's quite posable.
-uhhh better proportions?
Cons:
-cheapass-fealing thin plastic
-slightly terrifying transformation involving putting a little too much force on clear plastic bits.
-No minicon gimmick that is a beautiful chain reaction of three spring-loaded mechanisms that go off in sequence to fire a missile
-legs are a general disaster requiring constant attention while attempting to manipulate.
That's what I've got, feel free to chime in

I thought the clear plastic wasn't as bad as a few other toys. SS86 Ironhide wouldn't be so frustrating if they didn't do that utterly retarded connection for the van transformation.

Sort of related, I can't understand how they did such a good job with several details on Hot Shot, yet Megatron is riddled with issues.

Like what? (Assuming u mean Armada Megs). Only complaints I've seen are the lack of a hand-shiv, and that his shoulderpads are locked in place, but the latter at least has the excuse of being show-accurate (and personally I'm glad his shoulders can move independently of them, those treads are too long and would smack into everything behind him if he ever rose a single arm).

-Everything about thr knife hand. I get not keeping the gimmick, but why does it look so awful? Was it too hard to just make it closed and keep the knife hand detail? Why couldn't it include the knife as a separate accessory?
-The OG toy had tons of gimmicks on the tank mode. Unlike Optjmus, who has most of the details related to his gimmicks altered so its not too obvious he lost them, Megatron has it all sculpted and not repurposed in anyway. Shit, at least paint the fucking ramp instead of only half of it.
-Those weird lips.
-Fucking up the alt mode by making the chest too wide, making it impossible for the toy to transform into a normal tank and making the new toy an h tank.

4chan would never admit, but IDW's Transformers were actually mostly well-received here until the latter half of Roberts' run, which is, unsurprisingly, when gender issues were brought up for the first time. And the funniest part is that it's literally like a single panel where two of his OCs mention that they're now "she" instead of "he", and then it's never brought up again, but /co/ likes to seethe and pretend that the series was nothing but tranny propaganda for its entire 13 year run.

It's clearly just the product of a writing team that rotated frequently and never really had any idea that they were going to be running with the franchise for so long. Given how expansive the continuity was, I'd say they actually did a pretty good job keeping things cohesive. Most of the contradictions really don't matter in the long run.

You've got it wrong. Gender stuff happened WAY before Roberts even started writing for the comic. Even then, the total amount of "gender stuff" that happened over the 13 years of IDW1 collectively totalled maybe, MAYBE, two issues's worth of content.

Also, a lot of the complains against Roberts's writing are about things he had to shuffle around or compress thanks to IDW restarting the series with a new #1, or rebooting the series entirely.

Zeta Prime's reign putting a million years between Megatron's uprising and the start of the actual war, retroactively making the ending of Origins rather anticlimactic.
Sentinel Prime retconned into a tyrant, or even a ruler of Cybertron at all.

Appearance-wise, it contradicted Spotlight Blurr's Orion Pax, which JRo had to retcon as him simply trying out a new look at Zeta Prime's suggestion.
The whole nameless soldier thing is also kind of weird in hindsight, seeing as at this point he was already effectively the leader of the Autobots.

That's generally been the complaint about Robert's books, he has his favourites and they get all the focus and the characters most of the fandom grew up caring about get pushed off to the side. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing for different characters to get some focus, it's just not what people wanted. The big problem was that by the time MTMTE became Lost Light most of the character being focused on were James Robert's originals that nobody cared about.

Yeah, sounds like the Dark Cybertron event. That one wasn't too bad I think, but I can relate to not knowing certain characters, as I only read MTMTE by itself last year, and am getting around to reading RID seperately just now.
That said, while I was able to manage reading the former while only referencing the wiki for required-issues-to-read a couple times, holy HELL does RiD go off the rails by the time it becomes Optimus Prime. That was when they made it a big Hasbro shared universe, and for any sane reader it becomes absolutely impossible to keep track of. I had to write down and plot out the issue order in a word doc while crossreferencing various pages just to keep the full story in order. I should be glad the tfwiki is so well-organized for this, though, it only took me an afternoon, but still; fuck.

>Simon Furman has a bug up his ass about girl robots
To be fair, it has the potential to be an interesting plot point. Why would a race of robots that don't procreate even have gender at all? This entire race put their culture and identities aside for millennia in order to fight and endless war, so I think the rediscovery of those things could have driven some interesting stories, but it was clearly never a priority. I think it was Mike Costa, in particular, that was responsible for some of the absolute blandest stories because he only viewed Transformers as mindless killing machines.

/co/ would never admit it now, but it was dreck like that which made James Roberts' run so appealing to them when the first issue dropped; the storytime of MTMTE #1 was met with near-universal acclaim, because it made bots feel like actual characters for the first time in forever.

>>10426482
IDW was some of the first Transformers media I ever actually got into and I kind of loved being confused by the absolute tidal wave of characters it threw at me. It was fun getting introduced to them in a mix of main continuity stories mixed with the one-shot spotlights. I still remember the Cliffjumper spotlight where the squad of Decepticons got scared just from hearing his description and realizing who they were up against. He was a tough little shit.

Even if they were his favorites, I feel like his casting was done mostly for the sake of giving the spotlight to some other bots for a change. By the time Roberts came on board, we'd already had 7 years of the '84 toy shelf lineup doing the same shit over and over again. It was nice to have some fresh faces.

And it's not like he completely ignored popular bots; Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, Cyclonus, and Megatron were all main characters.

Early IDW stuff actually put a modicum of effort into presenting this species as being actually alien. Not just "metal doods from another planet" but genuinely alien with a strange culture and biology.
Like, they don't procreate in any way we would recognise, so as a result they don't have genders or any of the cultural hang-ups that brings. Everyone transforms, so there's this whole thing about whether or not you are or are not defined by what your alt mode is.
Plus, nobody really ages (Cyclonus has some neat tidbits about Cybertronian mythology involving them killing their god of death.) so everybody is millions of years old.

So they took all that, and then they said "So let's make it irredeemably corrupt." and voila, you have your post civil-war Cybertron, ready to go.

...then they fucking ruined it with gender politics somewhere around midway.

It really seemed more like they didn't have any cultural hangups because for 4 million years, their only "culture" was "red badge vs. purple badge"
>...then they fucking ruined it with gender politics somewhere around midway.
Um... no? Gender politics was literally never a plot point, ever. It merely became a revelation that Cybertronians with female identities actually used to be a thing, once they made contact with colonies that had been separated from them since long before the war. And even then, that was WAY after the midway point, toward the tail-end of Roberts' run.

And really the genesis of that was them having to work Victorion into the plot somehow because Hasbro fans voted for an all-female combiner to exist. So blame the toy fandom for that, not IDW.

As >>10426466 said, the only "gender stuff" was Furman's hamfisted explanation of Arcee because he had autism about female robots. Back when Arcee was the only female featured, I guess it made sense for him to write a needless origin for her, which was so poorly done and self-contained that most other writers seemed to ignore it. I honestly don't remember any direct reference toward gender outside of that plotline until the Roberts era.

The problem with late IDW is that Roberts, and even Barber to an extent, took this shit too far.

Except they basically were just metal doods by the end.
The writers only focused on the "alienness" if it suit whatever analogy for bigotry they were going for, but otherwise they were just human. Like the time Hot Rod calls Getaway a son of a bitch when Roche had already coined "spawn of a glitch" for such a line.

And people focus on the sexuality stuff because that's what felt more out of place. "These are robots with no form of reproduction, just ignore the very human-like kissing, drunken fetish discussions and allusions to actual intercourse." Sentinel Prime implicitly calling Prowl a faggot was downright comical.

It's amusing you get hung up on this, but not the fact that Transformers are humanoid and have distinctly human facial features, and alt modes sized for human pilots, even though there are no humans on Cybertron. Although, actually, wasn't it explained late in the series that Earth had common ancestry with Cybertron, and humans themselves were an organic sister-species? So you're either wrong because A.) it's just a comic and there are much bigger inconsistencies you accept without question, or B.) there actually is an explanation. Take your pick, I guess.

Really, it makes perfect sense that a highly-intelligent species would have the capacity for love and affection and the desire for a life-long bond the same way humans do; it's just something that got put on the back burner during the war because, like you said, reproduction isn't necessary; Cybertron basically put its entire culture on pause. It was something that bots only started to rediscover once the war was over.

but he wasn't calling him a "faggot". he was pointing out the fact that being in a close relationship of any kind was something their culture had moved beyond because it wasn't necessary, so it was rare to see bots showing affection for eachother and he found it archaiac and laughable, maybe even as a sign of weakness. you just saw it the way you wanted to see it because you let things you hate live rent free in your head 24/7.

No, only that the Enigma of Combination influenced early humanity to come together as a society in Mesopotamia. Cybertron had no direct connection to them.

He's written like a very obvious parody of a homophobe. It doesn't even make sense how you describe it, old corrupt Cybertron and war-torn Cybertron had friendships, it was never something they lost.
It's a plot point that only exists because the writer wanted to Sentinel Prime to say "God hates fags" without saying "God hates fags".

Except it's not even close to comparable; it's an alien race with only a single gender, that has completely sidelined the idea of ANY kind of romantic bond simply because it isn't necessary; it's viewed as frivolous and a sign of weakness. It's actually a completely different parallel to how humans view homosexuality, something that could only be explored in an alien culture, but you're forcing it into the mold of homosexuality because you have some kind of obsession with it.

You're posting literal headcanon. IDW outright retconned the idea that Transformers only had one gender and romantic relationships existed even during the clampdown.

If you don't see what the writer was getting at by introducing a "love is forbidden" plot point solely so he can have the bad guy mock some potentially gay dudes (and yes, Prowl was canon gay, it's implied he dated Chromedome) then I don't know what to tell you.

Honestly every board I frequent seems to have one or two anons stirring the pot to rile everyone else up. Usually it's in the form of buzzwords, fake-slurs or name-calling which is then followed by pointless arguments. As to what goal they're hoping to accomplish? I assume it's some modicum of attention getting or forced socialization.

Anon you were talking to here - while I don't have the same issue with floppiness that >>10426593 has, I agree that his swords are just too short (again, never saw the source material, so I don't know for sure how big they're supposed to be, but they look like large daggers on the new toy) and his plastic quality feels a bit cheap - about the same quality as Terrorsaur's wingtips. His colors look a bit visually lacking, too, and from what other anons are saying, it's because he's missing paint details. I also find that his nosecone gets in the way of his hip rotation, and he's got no wrist rotation at all - which is a huge issue, given that he's supposedly a sword wielder. He's a cool take on the character (and I actually like his jet mode more than the standard Starscream's boring F-15. He looks more like something that came out of Macross, or maybe one of the 'super jets' from Ace Combat, which is cool), but he definitely could have been better.

There's just been an uptick in trolls on the site in general - they're everywhere these days, even infesting the hidden boards. Not sure if this is someone's idea of a raid or what, but it's been getting worse over the past year or so and is getting rather annoying, because it's almost impossible to have a decent discussion without some idiot jumping in and trying to piss people off for no reason.
>>10426725
Sex is literally only relevant for sexual reproduction - the dopamine hit you get from it is hardwired into you to act as a reward for doing what nature intended and propagating the species while bonding you to your mate to ensure you want to protect them during the pregnancy and raise the resulting offspring. Transformers don't reproduce through sexual reproduction, though, so there's no reason for them to engage in sex, no reason for them to even have the concept of gender, and no possible way for them to get any sort of pleasure out of it, because that's all tied to biological processes that they don't have and have no use for.

Transformers PowerCore Combiners Icepick w/ Chainclaw

Probably nearly the last of my PCC toys

Being from one of the two-pack sets Icepick was allowed to get a bit weirder.
None of the established combiner teams have ever had anything to do with a snow plow before. Transformers in general has almost nothing to do with snow plows.

The white and very dark bluegreen(?) are a nice colour combo, and the gold windows pop super well against it.
Not too much else for paint apps, some silver for the plow blade and two little dots of yellow for the spotlights on top.
Icepick has something going for him witch is huge. He feels good to hold.
He's got a heft, at maybe the size of the ER CJ mold he weighs about as much as a normal deluxe. And he's textured nice too. The spikes on the plow are pointy but not too much and the treads feel good to runn your nail down.
I might be autistic.

Chainclaw just does a Targetmaster leg flip to become a missile pod and it finally clicked for what the PCC minicons remind me of.
They're the same as the PS2 Armada game minicons. Just nondescript little guys that turn into a little weapon or whatever.

Super simple transformations on both these nerds.

Pretty simple designs too, until your eye strays toward the arms.
Before that though I'd like to say it's neat how the plow forms the skirt armor. and how the little nub of a head has a certain UT flavour to it.

The arms are obviously a bit crazy. Shoulders as wide has he is tall and long thin limbs with giant claw hands.
Posability is standard. Ball jointed shoulders and hips and wrists. Swivels at the biceps, thighs, a neck.
Knees bend 90 degrees and elbows bend about 180

Chainclaw is just a classic beepboop robot made of clear plastic.
With no face and clampy hands.

An intelligent species needs emotional bonding in order to facilitate/encourage separate individuals to work together and achieve a greater cause, or merely to boost their collective strength and increase chances of survival. Imagine being either so mindfucked by 4chan, or so 14, that you cannot imagine the evolutionary purpose of emotional attachments beyond procreation. Sad.

Combination is pretty lazy. No surprising flip arounds or new parts other than the head.
Nothing even locks into a new tab.

The head is cool though, all the PCC bigger heads were. Icepick's in particular is pretty radically different from the Transformers' look.
Most of the articulation is still here, elbows are gone and thigh swivels are gone but other than that Ice Pick is unhindered.

And Chainclaw just gets to be body armor.

We actually have naturally occurring gears in real life. One species of insect have their rear legs geared together as juveniles so both legs flex at the same time while jumping. As they mature they lose the gear teeth, relying on friction to achieve the same result.

Maybe color code the separate lines, like SS86 should be boxed in an orange background (coinciding with Unicron's colors), and Gamer Edition in blue (because some people would think of Prime rather than WFC or FOC for the Aligned continuity). The 86 slot has to be marked with the orange box to "point directly at the SS86 list".

The "IDW" head is from the 2006 BW miniseries, which is unconnected to the IDW stuff that the thread's been talking about.

The "IDW Revolution" head is from the main IDW1 series. It's when Shazraella, someone from Micronauts's Microspace, Enerchanged with that series's Antagony to gain a giant body. IDW1 Antagony's normal head looked like the IDW-BW one.

There was ANOTHER "Antagony" in IDW1, except she went unnamed as a background character and had a spider altmode. The head is totally Antagony's though.

So, with "Pre-War comic-inspired retools" being the theme for the Amazon line, has anybody brought up the idea of a MTMTE Cyclonus? I mean his whole schtick was being a super old dude from before the war, and he should be one of the easiest retools to make: a slightly different deco, a new headsculpt and a sword, and that's basically it? Maybe the hip skirts if they can manage adding them into the transformation, too.

Important opinion, but the FIRRIB bullshit in regards to Movie Frenzy is more or less on eye color, plus the fact that Rumble is not released in the movie lines at all. The Human Alliance figure included with Barricade had red eyes when he canonically has blue eyes in his character model, and special releases of Barricade had clear colored versions of his basic silver figure of the original in both clear red and clear blue. And we don't have him in Studio Series because said Human Alliance figure is the best version of Frenzy despite the lack of transformation gimmick (wonder if anyone has a group shot of the Movie Deployers, being the aforementioned Frenzy, Scorponok, Ravage and Laserbeak).

Got two of these because they were marked down to 17$, just to see what they were like.

I don't get what they were going for. They don't have that much articulation, they can't even hold their guns right. They're big and heavy, but it's like you're paying for extra plastic for the sake of it. I would've preferred smaller figures that did more.

It just looks like crap from almost every angle. His arms are too high up, they're too thin, and all his waist flaps are too bif and ugly as fuck. I don't care if it's technically accurate, it's still a crummy looking toy.

I have no particular affinity for the Armada series or the toys, I just think Armada Prime (the core bot) is a cool-looking design, but that toy absolute fails it.

Transformers Titanium Series Optimus Prime

The second and final Titanium toy I'll be talking about.
Actually this might be a subline that newfriends don't know about at all.
It was niche, much maligned, and died unceremoniously
That 100% has to do with the line being designed by Hasbro's D team. It even says right on the instructions "Titanium Series™ is a subdivision of MicroMachines®"
The toys did improve has the line went on, but the initial Prime and Megatron poisoned the well right from the start, Since *so* much of them are diecast.
Optimus here is normal deluxe size but weighs the same as one of today's heftier leaders, like the dinobots.

The designs themselves are alright, most of the look was lifted from the then current War Within comic.
Which is something of an ancestor to a lot of Cybertronian alt modes.
You can't look at this thing and tell me WFC Prime or Animated Prime owe it nothing.

No prizes for guessing how the transformation works.

Maybe it's the toned down helmet, with its smaller antenna, but something about this Prime reads more hard working everyman to me rather than inspiring war hero.
The Hot Rod style forearm exhaust are a different choice for Prime as well. But I guess Armada was still somewhat recent.

Paint has held up better than I would have guessed, Considering his entire torso, shoulder assembly, forearms, and lower legs are completely painted diecast metal. just a couple chips at the very edges of the corners.
Now my Optimus seems to have held together better than the horror stories I've seen and heard. The arms and legs on mine never popped off to my recollection.

Given the absolute heft and girth of Optimus' body he doesn't make for very good posing. You're not going to get anything super dynamic out of him.

But the points of articulation are there. mostly provided via the transformation.
Neck can swivel, as can the midsection.
Shoulders swivel forward and back, and can butterfly backwards. Zero outward movement though.
Biceps swivel and the elbows bend a comfortable 90 degrees.
Hips are on very limited ball joints. Thigh are on very free swivels
Knees bend a very uncomfortable ~45 degrees.

Lastly, this name plate platform the Titaniums came with are cool as heck.
Fuck Studio Series are their backdrops, bring these things back.

So a mix of Cyberverse Shadow Striker and pic-related (which is a redeco of RiD2001 Sideburn) without the car kibble. I see we have another Skyquake situation.

For many chars, it's a combination of [A]: them having basically their most iconic role be IN IDW (see: the entirety of the MTMTE cast), making people associate these designs with what they see as the "Definitive" X character, and : the designs genuinely do give these characters more individuality than their G1-nobody selves. For example, leave alone the fact nobody cares about G1 Swerve; I want you to find a person who can VIVIDLY recall his exact design from G1, ie being capable of drawing it from memory. IDW Swerve's design meanwhile has a more defined silhouette and reflects his personality well, making it generally much more memorable.
On why I'd want IDW Cyclonus specifically: I already liked his G1 design, and his IDW one is one of the most faithful. He just has a coolfuck skull face and a sword now. Fuck yeah, dude

Wow even the show whose artstyle totally prostrated itself beneath G1 doesn't get to have faithful toys neither, what a fucking rip.
I shudder to think what the hell they're gonna mangle Rescue Bots Chase into.

I mean technically G1 Skyquake doesn't get a faithful toy either, his updated toy had to be shared with Prime Skyquake. Much like RiD2001 Sideburn who is very G1 has to share his updated toy with Cyberverse Shadowstriker.

it did some things right
had it not been both hideous and fucking stupid in terms of their transformations (seriously given how much Hasbro interfered with BW, they seriously didn't have any notes for these magical bullshit transformations?), it would have been salvageable as a standalone show.
but then they started filling it with continuity stuff... in a show where they deliberately replaced all the writers with new ones, unfamiliar with the old show. wwwhhhy?

I'm upset about this too, my dude. Car Robots is one of my favorite TF shows of all time, and any time they even bothered making one of its characters in Legacy (only thrice, if this'll come true), it's always been a shitty repaint of a different, unfitting character (yes I'm counting the modern Laser Prime mold and how they didn't even have the budget to fully paint it for Nemesis Prime).

I was just pointing out how even for Cyberverse, a show that stuck really faithfully to the G1 aesthetic and designs, [even it] didn't get allowed to have faithful toys, because I guess Hasbro just has a hateboner for everything made after 2006.
