He's not a bad figure at all, only two real issues I have with him are the lack of a proper deco for his robot mode chest (which I guess can be fixed with the ToyHax stickers) and, much more serious than that, the way in how his robot tail is ridiculously long.

Bros :) I love the UT I'm having so much fun bros :)
Each show is so different from everything else Transformers it's great, I wish the franchise would be willing to creatively flex itself like this more often; sick of characters looking the exact same all the time now, and plots being so tame and unwilling to do unexpected things. Car Robots was extremely fun too in the same way.

I've been wanting to get into the UT as well, but it's just so fucking hard getting past the voice acting for those kids in Armada. It's not just grating to listen to, they never shut the fuck up even though their dialogue is utter ass, like the director just let them ad-lib to fill in all the silent moments.
I don't know if they're less involved later in the series, but when I look at the playlist and see that the first ten episodes all have the kids in the thumbnail, I just lose the will to continue.

JG1 is def on my to-do list, I'm looking forward to it. I actually did watch BW II, but honestly I didn't like it that much. It had some good ideas and characters I liked, but also had characters I totally hated and overall it was just a bit plain and cheap sadly. I watched the first ep of BW Neo though, and it was already a marked jump in quality from II.

>>10505817
Do not EVER watch the UT dubs. I dont know why TF fans (alongside Pokemon and DBZ fans) still default to the dubs, when the TF UT in particular has some of the worst English dubs ever made in history.
For Armada specifically, the dub's release was rushed HALF A YEAR earlier than the JP release, and had a barely-translated nonsensical script, NO voice direction, terrible sound mixing, somehow even more art errors, and completely over-simplified character personalities and motivations. It is pitiful.
What >>10505827 said; the fansubs are far superior, even if Superlink's and Galaxy Force's are a bit older and maybe too literal sometimes. You can also torrent or watch em on 9anime.
Micron Legend in particular had some of the most surprisingly realistic and mature character writing + dialogue for the transformers themselves I've seen in a long while, but the dub just turns 90% of it into cheesy SLOP. The kids still suck though I'll admit; they're not intolerable like the dub, but Carlos and the fat kid are obnoxious. Especially Carlos. I want to shove him into a hydraulic press.
...ahem. But yeah, if you want to hear the dub's actors take on the roles but with actual time and DIRECTION, then play the Armada PS2 game! They're actually super great there!

(Shit, forgot to elaborate more on the kids): anyways yeah they're still not the best in the JP, but they are much more bearable to listen to than the dub. Blonde guy, the girl, and the lanky kid are all just okay, they're inoffensive and easy to ignore.

Another tip I will give though, is that the show doesn't totally pick up until like... i think it's ep 22 or 23? This is a fault of the rushed production, but while the first 20ish eps aren't BAD, they are very episodic and aren't as engaging as the rest of the series is. They seem like they were stretched out to fill the 52-ep quota. In short, I'd still watch em cuz they're totally still fun and stuff DOES happen in them, but definitely don't be afraid to have your finger hover over the forward key while watching that chunk of the show; you're not gonna skip over anything too important probably. Especially if it's a scene focusing on the kids lol.

Same goes for Galaxy Force thinking bout it actually, but not as extreme; I vividly remember around ep 20 or earlier though just immediately noticing a shift in the pacing and serialized plot becoming more relevant, and feeling "oh yeah NOW it's picking up, NOW it's getting hype!"
And it did.

Rubbing alcohol should soften the glue enough to get the joint moving again. Granted, because of the location you won't actually be able to clean out the glue, so your best bet is to soften it with the rubbing alcohol then keep moving the joint as the glue rehardens.

Of the ones in that box the two to worry about are the motorbike and the police car. The police car's torso "frame" is pinned together and the plastic around the pins has issues sometimes.

Nah, thanks to UT Transformers has been running stagnant now reusing the same concepts over and over again. What we need is a return to G1, both the Bumblebee and RotB movies are a step in the right direction in that regard.

>>10505817
Don't even bother, if the English dub is shit since it's Armada and not G1 then the Japanese version is worse for making the show a parody of itself just like all the japan dubbed Transformer shows that seem to think toddlers are the true target audience.

So just yesterday the 2 pack from Amazon arrived... and it's the wrong one- Humble Origins with Senator Shockwave and Orion Pax. Now on the one hand it's not the rise of tyranny 2 pack (Ratbat and Miner Megatron) that I have marked as my order, but on the other hand the price I paid ($55) is congruent with the product I received and I did want this 2 pack as well eventually.

Now I'm torn- do I return this and try and jew Amazon out of $15 by insisting I get the product that was listed, then eventually buy the Humble Origins 2 pack if it gets listed for the proper price, or just suck it up and pay the regular prices at a net zero? Also don't forget to factor in that I'm lazy and don't wanna piss off Amazon for not being able to jew them.

Of course it's bait. It's that same retard that hates the UT for reusing concepts from G1... and so wants to return to using concepts from G1?
I will agree with him when we says the Japanese dubs of several series are vastly inferior to their English counterparts because the prevalence of mecha shows means they need to carve their own niche by being comedy/parody shows. Beast Wars, Animated, and Prime are the big offenders.

If by reusing concepts from G1 you mean misappropriating them then yes. Everything UT has done is to destroy the name and foundation that Transformers have set out. Pokemon tier writing and gimmick, nameslaps everywhere to the point only Optimus is the recognizable one, changing the origins of the war and the characters, giving Optimus and Megatron Primal and BW Megatron's voice actor when it should've been someone else. I can just go on and on about the things UT done that has driven away the TRUE Transformer fans away because of the clear lack of respect for the franchise but most of the anons in this general already knows that.

Honestly, I felt that to be tempting, I missed a $20 Dinobot because "he wasn't my favourite and I don't have any BW characters" and apparently the mold itself is fun, despite the yellowage. Hope you're able to enjoy him, and G2 colours if that's up your alley, I know a lot of people were clamouring for G2

Fixit's good to have as an ambulance and leader, but yeah I was really hoping for a Seawatch. I have my Soundbarrier (a broken piece means he can attach/detach the ramp thing from his body) as some aircraft carrier/raft for rescue/safety purposes, an honorary rescue patroller..

what are you talking about?
Every single show until Earthspark has looked WILDLY different than the previous ones.

The only "exception" is the netflix only show that ran concurrent with Cyberverse, the main show.

But TFPrime looks nothing like anything that came before it.
TF RID 2015 looks nothing like anything that came before it, except for the couple of prime characters that got a port over.
You could argue that cyberverse had SOME elements of RID, mostly in the bumblebee design, but Cyberverse brought in a very different windblade than RID, and had the first tank megatron since Armada.
Not to mention a ton of new characters, wildwheel, meteorfire, shadowstriker

That's a misconception since the evergreen designs, which came out of nowhere, technically debuted right before the show aired.
But the show started production way before that.
They were designed for the show, that's why evergreen rolled out right before the show, to help familiarize the audience with those designs so the show wouldn't be as jarring.
Remember, it takes 2-3 years to launch a show, and we know for a fact that the toys are designed at least a year, if not two out.
Which means for them to be shown off in early 2018 means the designs were set in 2016

the thing that makes superglue so super is that it actually fuses the plastic molecules together. You've got an uphill battle ahead of you.

Sigh.
Okay anon, yes, each show since 2010 has been different from one another, sure. I'm not arguing they're carbon copies of one another. I'm just saying the franchise hasn't been taking AS many diversions from the norm as it used to.

Beast Wars, Car Robots, the UT, Bayformers, and Rescue Bots were all complete subversions on the preconceived idea of "what Transformers should be like", while Animated, Prime, WfC/FoC, RiD15, Cyberverse, and Earthspark are all more like... either twists or *elaborations*, on what we already think of "what Transformers is".
Now I already mentioned being an Animated fan, and of course I like a bunch of other stuff I just mentioned too; I'm not starting something dumb like "one of these methods/directions is better than the other", but just pointing out how the latter has become much more prominent that the former. The last Transformers media I can call innovative was still either Bayformers or Rescue Bots, the latter of which was from 2011-16 and the former of which was worth paying attention to from 2007-2011.

post jurassic park you saw a lot less "let's throw in a brontosaurus" even if they called it apatosaurus, it was still less likely. Brachiosaurus was more commonly added to teams. you stopped getting mammoths and sabertooths thrown in, and stegos definitely dropped several points. i think Extreme Dinosaurs is the last time we got a major stegosaurus in a dino team until AoE put one in out of nostalgia.

Doing Optimus Prime seems very strange. Animated Optimus Prime is basically G1 Optimus Prime but with different proportions. So if you make a G1 version it would just be Optimus Prime. And being a voyager means they won't include the fire truck trailer that he has in the show but not the toys.

I know people have their gripes with her proportions, but she looks like she'll be fun (more than Ark was, anyway), and I think some proper posing will do her wonders (like with TM2 Megs). Also, I'm already looking through my collection of miscellaneous Gunplay parts to see if there's something I can attach to her underside for her missing main cannon from Beast Wars, though I won't know what works (or if it's even possible to do) until I have her in-hand.

Even G1ified, Animated Prowl is... fundementally a different design from the real G1 Prowl.
Animated Optimus is still a red flat-nosed truck cab with big front windows and a silver grille forming the pecs and abs, two big square shoulders formed from the rear of the cab, a gray pelvis and lower legs with a yellow "belt buckle", and two giant blue ugg boots formed from the trailer hitch section of the cab.
If you remove the unique artstyle and "G1ify" him as Legacy will, then yeah, he's literally just gonna be a faceplateless G1 Optimus with blue forearms and a siren. At most he'll retain the unique shaping of his front windshields, but that's really it.
What do you think he will look like?

We know a Megazarak repaint is coming, which do we think is more likely to get discounted? Megatron was my first Armada TF, so he has that nostalgia going for him, but I also really like Megazarak's color scheme.

"Yes*", with an emphasis on the asterisk. Not in the sense that it's falsified, but that the character concept was produced as a joke and was never a real plan. There wasn't enough Erector material to fill in the presentation for the Botcon 2011 vote, so Hasbro got them to make some filler since Animated crew were already closely involved with the convention that year.

Amazon swapped the product numbers and prices when they put the listings up. Orders for Ratbat & Megatron get Shockwave & Pax, and vice versa. We've known this since the listing went up.

Your best shot at getting both sets is just to order from the Shockwave & Pax listing, and you'll get the set you want.

NTA but neither's fully out no, despite many getting Optimus early lol. OP is $90 USD and Megatron is $55.
Personally I'm holding out on at least Megatron waiting for a small price drop, judging by the way Kingdom/Legacy Galvatron has been selling (sure that guy got repackaged like three times, but even the original release wasnt selling out, outright, I don't recall). Optimus I'm preordering now though, bc on the one hand $90 is ridiculous and Kingdom Rodimus also went on discount and was easy to get, but on the other hand Optimus always sells well (unless he's Legacy G2 Laser, who got repackaged as much as Galvatron and isnt even that good a toy); I still don't have the SS WfC game Optimus, I thought he'd be easy to get my hands on. And even ER/Kingdom Optimus sold very well and is still in demand. Like hell am I missing out on Armada Optimus now... even if it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg and will inevitably go on sale just to spite my luck... aghhh...

They SHOULD be guaranteed cheap, but Hasbro's distribution sucks balls so you have no idea if something's gonna be really easy to get and plentiful, or will sell out on preorder and then never be seen again. There's no rhyme or reason. Legacy wave 1 was greatly stocked, but the latest Legacy Evo wave has been nonexistent.

Ok >>10506964 after collecting myself, I think what I'm just gonna do is: I won't preorder, but when he comes out, I'll buy him at the first sign of him selling out anywhere. On one hand I don't trust gambling and losing out on him altogether, on the other hand I dont want to pay $90 for a figure that could end up very well stocked and go on discount. So, yeah. Think that'd be the smartest course of action.

hm. that's a worry.

I would say.. the gamble is the sale discount vs the likely price hike if the former doesn't happen. So it's like you're betting gaining that money vs losing that other money. You've gotta do the odds that way.
I think the odds are pretty deece to the ent, it's a bet I'd take for sure. I have learned that, while time is money, time spent without a toy is not a significant loss once you actually get it.

I know $90 is steep, especially for a mainline tpTF but Armada Prime is so good that you will absolutely regret not getting him. He's honestly my favorite Transformer in my collection and he isn't even my favorite Optimus design. He just articulates so well in his core and Super Modes, and when fully combined, feels nice and hefty in hand. His transformation is also just fun. I know he isn't quite as tall as Jetfire but he feels just as worth it. They're the only two Commanders I have and they're definitely both the best Transformers I own.

Megatron is surprisingly good too. Definitely better than Siege Megs and Kingdom Galvatron.

Look, this isn't the first time hasbro did this
they did the same thing with the aligned story bible and the war for cybertron/fall of cybertron games
they had a base start that both things were based on.
So while Cyberverse debuted in 2018, they started production in 2016.

Authentics/evergreen was JUST art until 2017, when they released some physical merch.

you can tell the cyberverse designs were the primary designs that evergreen spun off of because of a few reasons

the biggest one being shockwave
shockwave's legs in evergreen have the telltale sign of his legs from cyberverse, i.e. the kind that split in two to become walker tanks.

Except the authentics toys all turned into jets.
no walker tanks at all.
No split legs.

It was clearly designed for cyberverse then given a makeover for authentics.

Shockwave's legs don't split in any of the Cyberverse toys and his altmode in the show has the same shape on his feet in altmode in the show. The alt to robot transformation in the show is vague bullshit, but it also seem to have the front legs either turn into his arms or become part of his back while the rear legs become robot mode legs. I don't think it was intended to work the way you describe it as to begin with.

My issue with APC arcee is the fairing boobs. There was a good reason the center of the fairing was attached to the windshield. In the quest for big booba APC added that section to the two fairing halves, which means they have to be splayed at the transformation hinges, which means they sit too far away from the body and throw the proportions all out of whack. It's such a dumb change and it makes the figure look terrible.>>10506789

You're right, his name is Reptix or it can be Repticus according to his wiki page.

as if he couldn't be any cooler, he's a racist! or maybe speciesist is more apt.

I found their wiki info for this set and then promptly forgot it but through his name I was able to find it again thanks to you.

I'm open to changing my mind if I do get him of course.

>so is it that you're going to probably get doubles, or do you guaranteed get one of each but two of them might be the chase variants?
I got it wrong initially, for this set(Vol. 4) its a booster box of 12 minicons in which you are guaranteed the full 9 minicon set of commons and 1 of the 2 chase variants. the 2 remaining boxes are dupes of any of the common minicons.

I'm pretty pleased with that arrangement since I wouldn't want to track down another booster box to complete the common set.
Apparently the galaxy force one you weren't even guaranteed a full set of the common minicons.

Unfortunately not as much robot mode-specific detail revealed on this one like Reptix has. Also wish I could make out more of his face but the red paint just washes out those details.

The right/tiger head arm is such a large chunk of plastic compared to the rest of the body, I can't help think they could have done something else to it.
Maybe have the head rotate into the body and reveal a hand cannon? Then again its better than the other arm just being the ass of a tiger.
His joints are significantly tighter than the others so I'm a bit cautious with this guy.

Tempted to see if I can do some had swapping and customization to have the WC Bee parts on one customized Goldbug, one Goldbug that's normal, and then have the Goldbug parts from the first added to the WC Bee to make a "Super Sporty Edition Goldbug." The Skywasps and Scorponoks pair with other figures as appropriate. So yes, I have a shit load of Scorponoks.

Man I don't know if I want to pick up any of these Minicons. On one hand being made outside of Armada and in the Classics and Universe line they're basically solid-ish little mini figures with unique designs that pits them over Micromasters. On the other hand just like Micromasters they're just little mini figures and don't make for good Powerlinxing since none of them have a weapon mode of sorts. It's why out of all the Minicon teams I avoid the Street Speed Minicon team because their gimmick is that they roll well at that size.

Ask Vector Prime was ok but then it went out of its way to hide in a book about Transformers Animated to start making retcons about G1. That's when it just became obsessive nerds trying to pretend their dicks are bigger than other nerds.

Literally just using the original colors as accents and no muted colors and they'd be perfect. I even saw a few shoops into Transmetal and Beast Machines colours that looked really good. Do movie toys get repaints like mainline series like Legacy? I dont pay attention to movie stuff.

I wish I had enough patience to paint and customize transformers I'd do all their Transmetal colors, Universe Primal and Cheetor and Stranglehold from Rhinox

I saw some vintage Diaclone at a show recently and I'm so glad transformers moved away from all the dianaut micro pilots. These things look so shitty. Any line with small vehicles should just forgo the figures like transformers did. Look at something like Star Wars Micro Galaxy squadron which has terrible, ugly figures even with modern day tech. Better served throwing them in the trash. I'm convinced this is one of the reasons transformers is so successful.

Okay, I might eat these words as I get further into the show, but I'm watching Superlink for the first time (hot off of just finishing Galaxy Force) and I feel fucking lied to. I'm only 3 eps in so far, but this seems great so far!
Everybody kept saying that the models are 100% expressionless, the fights were weightless and boring and poorly paced, and that the characters were insulting to fans of their Armada/ML incarnations, but I don't see any of that here.
For one, the models already are expressive thanks to the fact their eyes change; this alone is a huge improvement compared to the later GF, where they constantly had the same exact expressions (discounting ep 42 where they were all fully lipsynced outta nowhere and then never again for some reason), and the cel-shading helps them blend with the 2D elements way nicer than GF's models and their realistic lighting. Speaking of the 2D elements, oh my god they're fantastic so far, they're much more prevalent than I've been led on, and they're very well-drawn compared to the admittedly sloppily-drawn humans in GF, and early ML eps.
Secondly, the battles have been surprisingly well-paced so far. Sure it's a lotta laserfire, but I somehow feel more engaged than I did during GF, which had awesome setpieces but still led to my eyes glazing over often, somehow. Again, pacing/direction I think is the main factor. Also GF's copious footage recycling.
And the JP voice actors are just as good as they were in ML (read: top class), they do a ton of the heavy lifting for making these 3D robots expressive, but even if the 3D animation's basic, they have some good body language too. The 3D feels like a product of streamlining the workflow rather than lack of funds or skill. And while Kicker n Roadbuster are angsty now, they feel understandable, and it feels like setup for character development, so I'm invested.

Man this sounds like I'm really bashing Galaxy Force, but I actually really liked it, in fact. It was a good kids' action anime and had a surprising great, heartwarming ending. It's just that I had Superlink hyped down so much as "the worst TF show" when it's turning out to seemingly be even better in many ways, that leaves me baffled. Like I have ZERO doubts the terrible dub carries most of the blame for its reputation, but then why doesn't Armada share the same public view since I can personally confirm it's just as bad? It's at the point where it seems fans have just straight up lied about Superlink, especially in regards to the animation, just because everyone else says it was bad. It's so bizarre.

Completely agree, Superlink is underrated. Well, maybe not underrated but certainly overly maligned. I really enjoyed it when I watched it a few months ago. There are even elements of it I would say are better than Micron Legends, pacing being the major one.
Every so often think about buying a Superlink Jetfire. The toy doesn't look great and the character never does all that much in the show but he was voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama and sometimes that's all a character needs.

I see your point, they don't fully represent what makes Minicons great like some of the earlier Armada ones designed to accompany the larger figures.
I very much still appreciate them for what they are, which are more companions for the bigger bots.
I imagine the dino minicons would look great with the BW bots, the smaller Megatron alongside the leader class one and so on.

Hasbro repainted the dino ones in Dinobot-esque colors and sold them in things like clothing stores. For a while it was the closest we'd get to micro play pattern scaled Dinobots. Also I guess they counted the tiger as a sabertooh for this.

To be fair as someone who has seen Armada with both dub and sub on, it somewhat broadly got the point and ideas of Micron Legends across but either never fully going through with it. They were obviously working with an early version of the script that wasn't proofread for any mistakes and went with it due to time. It got better and became almost a literal translation by the end when the air date for both Armada and Micron Legends started to match together. Of course there's the fact the english dub adjusted certain lines to make Megatron more meaner and evil like his BW counterpart rather than the lovable but abusive father like figure he had in Micron Legends among other things. But still, by the end of Armada it ended similarly to Micron Legends even if for the most part Micron Legends is vastly superior.

Energon was just bad, it felt like they were given an incomplete script that was machine translated on top of that. Lines were either interpreted differently or just completely rewritten into something else entirely that had no relevancy at all. Not to mention replacing an important episode with a special OVA. If Armada was rushed then Energon was mishandled so that's why Armada is looked back upon better than Energon. As for Superlink well I'm still watching that but the consensus I hear from certain people is it's comprehensible compared to Energon but still a slog to go through. You'll just have to watch and see if that's true or not.

Yo where my Demolishor hoes at?
This fucker was my favorite character in ML when I saw it last year, but because he was just a generic goon in the dub nobody really cares as much for him. He never got a spotlight on his character during the show sadly but his personality and motivations still bled through, and from what I've heard he's more prominent in Superlink but I haven't seen it yet.

Anyways, really hope they get to him and Sandstorm in Legacy sooner rather than later. His design fucks SO hard, including his SL colorscheme.

Yeah, guess I'll have to see. FWIW though, 7 episodes in,, at the very least it is making an extremely solid opening and first impression. The story's got me at the edge of my seat.

muted colors guy here. accents are good too, I like seeing those. They have to be done right, it can be tough to balance depending on the design. That's why usually if there's an all black and gray zoid, the rubber caps on the joints will be some nice bright color for accenting.
>do movie guys get repaints
rarely, beyond the obvious like "hey it's bumblebee again but look there's more black on him this time"
but the dinobots did. more screen-accurate versions of each, so less colorful..
for me the tough part of painting isn't patience but not having a steady enough hand or good enough eyes.

whoever did this either didn't understand, or was forced by capcom who doesn't understand, you don't make robots with flesh tone unless they have actual flesh, like Rockman. 'robot versions' of people always have silver or gold in place of the human skin parts, even if the rest is accurate to their clothes/hair/etc. suggesting "instead of bare skin, this is the bare metal."
the only exception was, I think, done for visual clarity and because they were going to look ridiculous anyway and that was the point. pic related.

in fact, anon, you've inspired me. I have not been super fond of the creepy vitiligo look of this toy even if I do plan to buy it, I'm going to mix up some dark metallic blue-gray and use that to accent up his face, and some other parts. Suggestions/photomanips welcomed.

I painted up the inner robot thighs and toes silver, evened out the shitty 'battle damage' paint I didn't realize he had (i'm also noticing some actual deliberate asymmetrical chipping and cuts on some armor parts, I guess he's been through some shit) with solid silver, then added the dark blue-gray and i think it works okay.. I tried making the blue a lot darker but then it clashes and makes the silvery brown-gray look too light and too brown. Actually, considering that I have no real desire to make this guy 'optimus primal' I might swap the blue out for something else, dark bronze or something.

Found Armada Megatron and he looks so much better in person than with the studio lights they use that makes colors look way more saturated than they actually are. He's a hefty lad too, very excited to be getting Optimus from Pulse soon to pair them together.

Only thing I'll say is his tank barrel and horns feel weird, much more rubbery than the usual soft plastic they use. I don't have him yet but maybe the same kind as on Beachcomber's wheels?

What's the status on your Armada Optimus at pulse? I've paid and mine says it was ready to be shipped on july 6th but the order is still listed as unfulfilled.

I'm really fond of that Megatron mold as well. Wish you could get some backwards shoulder movement and that the tip of the cannon and horns weren't rubbery but those are my only real complaints.

This whole Amazon pack bullshit is so annoying. I didn't know the packs were swapped until I came here and saw people talking about it and now Amazon changed the listings while mine is halfway here. I wouldn't care if I was going for both, but I only wanted the Megatron pack.

They couldn't fix this sooner and send emails to confirm orders?

I ordered Megatron+Ratbat but got Orion+Shockwave in the mail, so I set up a return in exchange for the proper item listed (I made sure to make a note too). Now, the exchange item hasn't shipped yet, but something odd happened:
Basically, Amazon has finally fixed its listings and swapped the names and pictures around. So, my old original order (and this exchange item) now retroactively have the Orion+Shock thumbnail, BUT the name of the item is still "Megatron+Ratbat" in the "My Orders" page (on both), despite the actual product page indeed having a corrected name.
I got a hold of a customer support guy and he said that the return item should still be the Megatron one because that's what the name still is, despite the thumbnail image changing, so I guess I'll have to see when it ships and arrives.

Nope. Beachcomber's wheels (and his bird) are made of actual rubber, while Megatron's horns are just soft plastic.

The mold had a lot of neat things. The backpack can hold the thin missiles for transformation, while the same applies to the laser guns on the lion head. Due to how the connections work, both missiles and guns can attack anywhere (except foe the missile only connection on the mane) and you can display all missiles and blasters on the lion mane due to the bonus connection they made for the missiles, for a total of six weapons on it.

Yep, all the missiles are meant to double as thrusters. The knee connection referenced the pop up ones Lio had in the show, the MP also had that feature (no clue if this was something the og toy had).

And for those who don't have Black Lio, despite what it seems, they actually did paint the chest, the lower abs, the knees and crotch. He almost has as much paint as regular Lio, and they bothered to paint his eyes and upper teeth.

Not that I don't relate (trust me I do, esp on Tarn...), if anything I'm even more invested now that they're getting started with more UT figures that are actually good, especially since I just finished watching all three shows for the first time (not the dubs, god forbid I ever need to touch those in my life). Granted, I only started watching the TF anime because of how much they have and will butcher modern Animated figures, and that while I like G1 and BW a ton they're also neither something that resonates with me in the same way Animated and apparently UT do.
But, yeah; Hasbro's distribution desperately needs to sort itself out, this is obnoxious. Doesn't help that I not too rarely like their other action figure lines, too...

I wish we get a full return to UT sooner or later on the same level BW is getting right now. A live action Armada movie with a stylized new mainline toyline accompanying it. A Dragonball Z Kai treatment of both Armada, Energon and to an extent Cybertron with voice actors back to redo the lines (rip Kirby Morrow, he'll never be back) for both the English and Japanese dubs. Pushing the trend of Optimus combining with his trailer for his Super Mode and the return of Minicons. So unrealistic yet so deserving.

Shit, a respectful remastering of Micron Legend and Superlink would be fucking fantastic. At the end of the day if I had to choose I'd still say Beast Wars is prolly most deserving of a visual remake, even if its animation has surprising bits of charm, but I wouldn't turn that down for the former two UT shows whatsoever. Maybe even some new bits inbetween the two shows, showing stuff like Hot Shot stepping down from leader, and the development of Optimus coping with his fighter's nature as a lead-in to the latter show as a barrel-chested cadet trainer.

>a liveaction Armada movie
Eh, kinda lost me there, I can't really see it honestly; too much of its best parts take place far away from humanity, so if anything an animated film would be preferrable.
On that note though, while watching Galaxy Force, I had the distinct thought
>Man, I wish they would make an animated theatrical film that was this bombastically shounen.
Moments like Primus nunchucking two moons at a giant cosmic Starscream resulting in the latter's face crashing into the side of a planet sending shockwaves across it, or Optimus's big winged super mode wielding Metroplex's gigantic excavator just to punish the two Velocitron comic relief Decepticons, were MEANT for a fantastic big-budget animation on the big screen.

Most of all though, I just want them to generally get that bold in reimagining established characters, and creating brand new ones. Superlink's Roadbuster immediately endeared himself with how dorky his design and naive personality made him (when the fuck are we getting HIM in Legacy??), and he quickly became only more of a fucking unit as the show went on (his infiltration of Alpha-Q's base up to facing Scorponok had me almost cheering at the monitor lmao), and he was p much completely made up. Kicker still best human character btw.
Returning bots are great, but I really want new ones in the lead roles again.

Even DVDs would be preferable to nothing, because either the JP-only shows are nigh-unknown, or the shitty dubs are treated as the defaults/only ones worth bothering with because Western TF fans are the same breed of retards as Western Pokemon and DBZ fans, apparently.)

>that robot mode actually looks awesome from that exact angle. he's got serious ED-209 vibes.
can look even closer if you keep the head flipped down, all it needed was the autobot insignia to be flipped around to act as a fake mask/face and it would've looked great

>are you SURE you shouldn't just turn the waist around on the yellow guy? is the other side worse?
I checked the instructions again and yeah, the hollow side is intended make up the robot mode legs.
The shins and feet that fold out from the thighs actually have sculpted toes that point forward from the hollow side, so despite how ugly it looks, that's what they where going for it seems.

BW did not get a full return though. Yeah we got a huge chunk of the cast in Kingdom, but that was with more G1 and took later waves in Legacy to finish only the season 1 cast. Season 2 and 3 were barely touched. Let alone the toy only characters. And yeah we got the Netflix cartoon...which was half G1. And yeah sure we got Beast Wars characters in a movie but it was a G1 movie where BW characters barely got screentime.

Unfortunately I do not possess any minicon compatible TFs.
I've ummed and ahhed about getting some over the years but I never did bite the bullet.
I guess now that I actually own some minicons I do have a good reason to get some though.

Well it was either that or an animated film. I much prefer an animated film but I won't lie in saying I am morbidly curious over how the events of Armada could be portrayed in live action. Especially the Minicons powerlinxing or Optimus's Super mode sequence the equivalent to any Henshin sequence in Kamen Rider.

>Most of all though, I just want them to generally get that bold in reimagining established characters, and creating brand new ones.

Yeah Ironhide/Roadbuster is a great take on the hopeful idealistic rookie bot who slowly becomes comfortable in a war chasing after a bot that has become his rival of sorts. It's a shame his relationship with Demolishor/Ironhide isn't given the same treatment.

Beast Wars was always popular with common people. It just is that the 80s nostalgia wave lasted longer than the normal 20 years later and Hasbro followed suit. But even now you can see 90s things getting big in other things like Power Rangers being about 90% MMPR.

I think Power Rangers is more because MMPR is the first one of its kind rather than the fact it's part of 90s nostalgia. The 90s nostalgia is still a factor but I think it's just Hasbro working with the mindset that the first one is always the best one and a lot of fans I see new or old seem to follow that mindset as well. The first one that laid the foundation must always be preserved and respected or some shit like that. I don't really agree with that at all but since it makes money I guess they're right about something.

No videos but I did customize my TransArt TM Megatron because I thought using a Gundam Marker on it would have been good, but instead caused a cascading series of events that forced my hand to become at least some sort of a customizer. I tried to add gunmetal paint to his eyebrow parts and the whole thing just became a blobby mess and I spent the next week using Tamiya sprays to try and get him back to passable. Lots of elaborate masking. I don't know if I took any pics but I have it pretty well documented on TFW2005 (I know, I know...)

Yep, though it's a little more fiddly. If you roll his shoulders up (so the wheels are on top) you can bend them in more, but it makes them sit a bit high.

As an avid Armada hater, I honestly can't wait to get this guy. I loved Starscream and Megatron is...ok.

This guy looks incredible though. I've heard he's one of the best Commander Class figures. Just wish Pulse would send mine out already.
