Seems that MP-44 is getting a toy colours redeco. I won't lie, he looks better for it, but MP-44 is still toonershit and putting nicer colours on it won't fix that.

they'll be different 'characters' on my shelf of course. thankfully i have zero attachment to this new movie as i'm told it sucks, so

but yeah my cheetah-like cheetor is .. 'movie cheetor' in my head I guess, and the one that looks like a fucking amphicyon gets to be uh.. Mountain... Joe. I'll think of a name later.
also the airazor that has yet to release properly is gonna be movie airazor, and the SS one is going to her brother, maybe i'll call him Windblade or something.

they gave him one with toylike eyes, but that's it.
the original optimus head was pretty different than the cartoon.
Instead of the tall inner spikes on his helmet, it's a subtle ridge that barely goes higher than his dome.
the antenna are super thick, and the discs they connect to have little... microphone looking things on them.
Then there's the fact that he doesn't have a brim to his helmet at all, it's a thick brow.
and his face is blue, not silver.

I mean, anon is hyperbolizing but it is a fact that the market has clearly chosen in favor of Sunbow and so I 100% get his frustration. I would be perfectly happy if we got both a mix of Sunbow-accurate figs and "cartoon/toy composite" figs released over the years, but besides rare one-offs like Skids, that hasn't really happened.

I never mentioned toy-accuracy. Or anything-accuracy for that matter. Personally I love the original MP Bumblebee because he has a simple, fun transformation, a good looking robot mode and transforms into a realistic Beetle. MP-45 meanwhile has a fake chest, a panel explosion transformation, looks like shit in robot mode and for the sake of a panel-riddled penny racer/Choro-Q beetle mode that doesn't even have the cool coin slot on the back.

I like the Trainbots as characters (even if these new MP figures themselves leave a lot to be desired in the engineering department), but saying "seven toys" when six of those are all meant for the same team and were distinctively designed with the train modelling market in mind while the other one was just a one-time crossover with Honda is obviously pretty dishonest. Again, this is not the broader design direction of the Masterpiece toyline, you're not gonna see the next Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, carbots, etc. taking those design traits unless Takara notices people are really tired of the Sunbow look.

Damn, it's almost like people want a mixture of both cartoon and toy influences that goes for realism like Hasui did, not just 1/1 upscales of 1980s toys. Seriously anon, what's up with these cringey-ass gotchas, holy shit.

MP-21's bot mode looks chubbier and less sleek, but I feel like this corresponds with a lot of people's Platonic image of Bumblebee? I still prefer it to MP-45 simply because 45's silhouette is completely generic and almost indistinguishable from all the other Sunbow designs, whereas MP-21 has a very clear character to him.

I feel that's a good way to sum it up: MP21 is a generic "Bumblebee" working off of foggy memories, while MP45 works hard to BE Bumblebee. Both set out to do different things.

That is literally the defining quality of Hasui's era. You can be extremely pedantic and say that "EeehhHHhh, this has a bit more cartoon than toy in terms of robot mode proportions", but it is still very clearly not a cartoon-purist toy like newer ones are.

Anon, you're full of shit. Most of Hasui's MP's were just cartoon designs painted like the toys, if even that.
As evidenced by the fact that to match the current batch Takara settled for redecos and called it a day.
The only toys he made that were ever updated to better match the show were Optimus and Bumblebee. We'll see if they ever update Magnus.

As far as cartoon stuff goes I'd say Ironhide was the tipping point. MP Ironhide doesn't take it too too far. But look at what came after;
Shockwave and Megatron of course look the way the do because that's the only way they would ever look.
Everyone was so impressed by Inferno and Grapple's ladder disappering trick to care
The Beast Wars MP started
It's all a matter of degrees of by the time you smash into MP Sunstreaker 10 entries later it's very obvious that something has gone awry.

Holy shit anon, I swear to god you have to be either completely autistic or just deliberately arguing in bad faith not to get this. Yes, everyone knows Hasui's style is not 100% toy accurate, and yes; everyone understands that a lot of the overall proportions for his figures derive more from the show rather than the toys since most of them were inarticulate bricks anyways, but the point is that he still struck a really good balance between selecting the best characteristics from these different design origins in accordance to what would make the most interesting robots and vehicles, in contrast to how the current MP design trend almost exclusively only takes show-accuracy into consideration.

I agree to an extent that seeing hyper-articulated takes on the exact G1 toy designs would be cool, but this also feels more like something that would work better as a parallel toyline rather than as normal Masterpiece releases. As far as MPs go, the sort of rounded multi-influence look that Hasui had feels like the best.

Not worse than the dull heads on the mainline Bees. Hasbro did an awesome Bee headsculpt, but they used it on the tiny buzzworthy core class that has the bumber altmode.

They did the same with Megs, mediocre headsculpts on the voyagers but a great sculpt on the fucking core class.

shoulder attachments need to be, at minimum, the height of the base of the neck. In this case, even if he didn't have a huge square of torso there, it would still be wayyy too much distance between chin and shoulders. he'd have a ridiculous long neck if he had a neck.
I realize it's tricky because so many transformers have basically a flat horizontal line representing the top of their torso, and the human torso ideal is built on a slight upward arch at that point, in the back, the trapezius area (with the straight line being in front, the clavicles) but that just means.. the shoulders need to attach on those top corner points, or it's all ogre.

Agreed, even the Masterpiece name implies that they are supposed to be a culmination of all the best aspects of that character, blending Toon, toy and the real vehicle.

This is kinda why I compromised and started collecting Transformers again after literal decades, but instead of going to Masterpiece stuff going for Siege and forward with some spicy earlier stuff here and there. Damn near everyone is being represented even if they're not 1:1 with their animation appearances. All those Kingdom Beast Wars figures being updated with Japanese redecos? Fuck it, all those off-model figures I got are now Waruders and beast Diaclones now. I'll pick up more Scorponoks for fun. Same for new Insecticon releases. I can now army build while only occasionally wanting to get two or three of a figure at most. Between all the stuff we've gotten in the last few years, plus upgrade kits, I'm going to be busy for a long time. Distribution and plastic degradation have always been present in one form or another. I'll deal with it as it comes. I swear this rant seemed more relevant as a reply in my head.
>>10504032
>Hasbro indie company, please understand
Kidding aside I think it's an engineering and budget issue. For lightpiping to work you need a path through which to shine light, translucent plastic, and possibly some interesting paint applications. That could add up.

they still generally use it, but paint over it
the issue is that molding one special part in clear plastic is extra work and expense. and if you do an entire sprue in that clear plastic, well now it has to match the eyes, which usually isn't right for the character or just doesn't look right. So they make the eyes match the other clear parts, then paint over them, but hope someday they can remold it in a way where the clear parts all match and look good for the character, so the lightpiping can return

then you get shit like T30 Rattrap and Waspinator who inexplicably had a bunch of .. well, semen-colored parts, which were not correct for where they were used.
what I don't get is why they don't just always use totally clear plastic and then paint over it with transparent colored paint. God, I figured that technique out ages and ages ago, for custom stuff. It works a treat.

I guess any use of translucent plastic for the eyes is out, since they may as well go all the way and make the whole lightpiping head piece if they're going to dedicate a sprue to it?
I don't pretend to know how the factories operate, can't they utilize one transparent plastic sprue for multiple figures just for the lightpiping? Or do they have to be for each individual figure?

I guess the other option is metallic paint under translucent plastic like on Shrapnel's chest so it can reflect light somewhat.

The best lightpiping I've seen so far is legacy scourge, with the metallic fleck in the pink transparent. The metallic fleck seems to help diffuse the light, spreading it out through the plastic.
That said, try selling transformers fans on swirly metallic clear plastic.

It's always a pet peeve of mine when Earth suddenly has its fate intertwined with Cybertron due to historical macguffin or something similar. Like apparently Earth isn't just some alien planet the Transformers land and reside in because it is rich in resources, no it's because Earth and Cybertron had a shared history from the beginning. I liked the way Armada handled it where Minicons not wanting to participate in the war was able to escape with the cooperation of the Autobots but crash landed on Earth with most of the escapees hibernating in their storage panels for thousands of years . However some did wake up and ended up influencing certain parts of human history all the way to the modern time period Armada is set in.

I mean I'm okay with that. There's a certain charm I feel seeing bw Megatron and primal looking ripped straight from the screen.

I genuinely loved bw as a kid so it's nostalgia. But I don't understand why I'd want them looking like actual animals/dinosaurs, as opposed to looking like the show and characters I loved.

That said I honestly find the new g1 masterpieces to look like dogshit so it's all.about nostalgia I suppose.

I don't think the bw mps replicate animation eras, they try to adapt early cg models

What do you mean they *should* look like actual animals?

So who's the character you have the most figures of? For me, it's Prime. I started collecting with the Siege OP and this is what I've collected thus far. I have the Core Class 2 pack with Bumblebee ordered and would really like a Masterpiece, preferably MP-10 but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Still, love my current collection.

Starscream is the guy with most of the same name I own. Blackarachnia would be tied if I could find the McDonald's Beast Machines version from when I was a kid. If they remake BM Blackarachnia or Jetstorm, I will likely get them from nostalgia to those. Not Cheetor though since I remember being annoyed by how he didn't feel transformed correctly no matter what I did with it.

Anyway, since they already did the cel-shaded version and dead version, I guess the SS will be a new mold that looks mostly the same, but removes the details that aren't visible on the show version. White legs and you can flip the "belt buckle" to make it different colors between robot and vehicle mode. Recycled trailer.

What animation errors are the BW MP's replicating? An error implies a change in animation style, which happened frequently in G1. The BW characters were animated consistently other than an occasional size change.

So it's either "Daiatlus"
or "Dai Atlus"
Considering the other naming mechanisms for the leaders, Convoy, powered convoy, big convoy, etc, its reasonable to assume they meant Dai as in "Big" or "great"
But in the show, the other characters definitely refer to him as "Dai Atlus" not "Daiatlus"
There's a distinct emphasis on the Dai, which is only done if it's a separate word

I wish we’d get some new updated figures from the beast wars II crew. All of them could use a kingdom style release to match the legacy lio convoy. Probably never ever desu.

I said that the actual AUDIO definitively points to "dai" being a separate word and not a portmanteau like daiaclone.
Cause when they say daiaclone, they put the "Dai" and the "a" together, not the distinct pause you get in "Dai Atlus"

SS Battletrap and Arcee are pretty cool, got them both for retail from BBTS. It took me a little bit to figure out Battletrap's spikes have specific grooves they fit into the arms to work in vehicle mode, but once I did the arms just fit into place. The cab was also scary to push into place the first time but I think I've gotten down the order now where it doesn't feel like I'm stressing the clear plastic. (Click the grill into place first then push the cab down for vehicle, reverse for robot mode) Those little pegs on the roof suck though, they don't hold into place at all and I'm considering thickening them up.

I'm not sure if I want SS Scourge, kind of want to see if they'll do a big mainline toy for him like Takara's doing with Primal before I decide. It sounds like they've got a lot planned if we're even getting a new kid-oriented Studio Series line next year for it.

Arcee's a nice little core, I like her a lot more in hand than I did seeing pictures and reviews. Love to see what a mainline deluxe would be like even if it's wildly out of scale from this.

That fucking sucks, I'd kill for Powerlynx Dinobots made with the Geisters in mind... Couldn't they just work out some deal with Sunrise? Or is it because Bandai and Goodsmile have the license to make the toys now?

Did the Captain Shark KFC toys did ages ago not do well? I remember seeing a ton of repaints for that planned but they were all canceled, same for the Shadowmaru from that 3rd party Sixshot.

seriously i wonder how they choose what to do. sometimes it's exactly what we need, other times not
>oh we made you Inferno's gun! and we put in a spacer for his thruster so it's closer to how it should be
huh? the rest? you're on your own

>the movie delay should mean the toys came out EARLY, not late.
Most of the toys have been sitting in warehouses for at least a year now thanks to the delay, Hasbro refused to release them early which does make sense to an extent, but they also seem to have taken the delay to restructure the line, and are even planning another series of RoTB toys for next year. It definitely is strange.

And then United used the Energon Sharkticon mold in the same line but as the Axalon and not the Nemesis. I will never not be salty about that.

how do we even know that? that seems like something they wouldn't let out of the company. did someone who works at the warehouse say so?
yknow holding shit at a warehouse costs a lot of money.

The same way we get product codes and listings a year in advance, there's a guy with sources for retail and port info from computer databases, seemingly. He reports on them now and then with what he finds.

I don't really like having multiple different versions of the same character. Hell, despite them being totally different characters and molds, I don't even want to get a regular Optimus Prime because I already have Leo Prime. Same goes for Armada Megatron, no matter how fucking cool it is and how much I want it, I can't bring myself to buy it because I already have Kingdom Galvatron.
I blame Toy Story, Small Soldiers and The Indian in the Cupboard. Part of my brain will always be asking 'What if my toys come alive?' and I just think it'd be weird for them to have more than one of the same guy.

Oh shit, I totally forgot that I had this guy when I was a kid. I always associated my big ass Armada Unicron with those Cyber Keys, but I guess I was just mixing them up in my head.
Anybody remember this little guy? I played with him 1000x as much as I did any other Transformer, just because he was so easy to transform. I even brought the fucker to school.
