Not "weird" persay, but pretty unique; he's just all brown and tan with some red here and there. A little touch of orange for the mouthplate and the classy gold rims. On paper it sounds like a bland-ass color scheme, but in person I just find it extremely appealing in an understated way, and I'm usually the kind of guy who loves neon eyeball rape.

I'm a bit conflicted. I don't own the Kup mold and kinda like how Dion looks here, but that Ariel just looks horrendous and would be the fourth or fifth version of that damn laser cycle mold for me. It's like every one of these pre-war 2 packs has one character I like, and one that I really don't care for, and it's not really worth getting the whole pack for.

lmao, same. I passed on miner Megatron just because Ratbat was such an absolute fart. I figured I could try to resell him and recoup some losses, but I imagine a lot of people are going to have the exact same idea and ebay is going to be FLOODED with senator Ratbats pretty soon. I realized I could just avoid the whole debacle and keep the 50 bucks in my pocket for something better in the future.

Hot damn, is this what it means to become an adult?

Enjoy spending half the afternoon transforming your toon-accurate shit because it needs 500+ pieces to hide the alt mode stuff inside. Meanwhile I can transform MP-10 in 2 minutes & it, aside from the square gas tanks, looks better. Round G1 toy tanks would make it look better.

Honestly, you might like the original Beast Wars Transmetals (not the Transmetal IIs) - they're visibly more mechanical and are all 'triple-changers' (I use the term looseley - some characters, like Rampage and Waspinator, get decent transformations, others, like Megatron, just get roller skates) with vehicle modes or vehicle elements incorporated into them, so they fit in with G1 toys a little better than the solid beast characters from the previous season, the Fuzors, and the TM2's (which keep the chromed vac-metal paint but are visibly cyborgs, half robot and half animal with no vehicle mode).
Also, Optimal Optimus or any of his repaints might be right up your alley (though they'll cost you an arm and a leg), having one beast mode, one robot mode, one tank mode, and one jet mode. Less beastly and more G1-ish, but in-lore that's a result of Primal temporarily holding onto G1 Optimus' spark while the latter's body was getting repaired.

Not the anon you're talking to, but I actually like transformers with complex transformations - the whole gimmick of the franchise is the transformation, hence the name, so it's part of the fun. I really enjoy the ones that are basically little puzzles, or ones that manage to pull off alt modes that look drastically different from what you'd expect due to the transformation scheme - so long as they hold together alright in both modes and aren't a floppy mess.

Doesn't look that bad with Optimus's Ion Blaster but because of the kibble it will fall off if you do anything else other than what is seen in pic related. Also Barricade's right hand got stress marks, apparently his was packaged with his arm not aligned with the elbow and it was hard to notice until I removed the arm.

I'm with you, anon; I actually love the Beast Wars cartoon and a lot of the characters, I just never really had any interest in organic beastformers so the toys haven't ever piqued my interest. I was hoping that, if the recent Kingdom revamps did well, we might see some Transmetals get modern adaptations down the line, but I'm not holding my breath.

Like I said, I DID just nab an original TM Waspinator, still in the package, for like 22 bucks, so this might be a whole new rabbit hole for me. Pray for my wallet, kind anon.

I had Chromedome as a kid and have always found the colors very appealing. 80s nostalgia throwbacks tend to forget that brown was a substantially more popular home decor, car, and clothing color that had been in since the 70s. Wood paneling was everywhere. Also until I got back into Transformers as an adult I always remembered his name being Stylor, I didn't remember Chromedome at all. This is strange to me because I got him second-hand from a friend who had lost the head. Maybe he thought the name was Stylor and told me that?

Sadly, I fear it's already too late for you. I've fallen down a similar rabbit hole myself recently with the Universe toys, since I like the garish and totally-out-there color schemes far more than the original releases of most of the characters, and have thus ended up grabbing characters that I normally would have passed over just because the colors look so good. As someone who grew up with G2's neon designs, they just feel like the 'correct' versions of the characters for me - even if it's costing me a fortune in the process.

Yeah. Most people seem to agree he's one of the weakest of the Autobot headmasters, so you're not really missing much; I just fell in love with him after nabbing the LG version and have become a total shill for him, probably specifically because of the colors used by Takara, which are much nicer than either of the Hasbro releases, imo. The lack of the gold rims on the TR release is a particular shame.

>This is strange to me because I got him second-hand from a friend who had lost the head. Maybe he thought the name was Stylor and told me that?
Well if you go by the anime rules where the head is the actual sentient bot and the car is just a transforming mech body, I suppose your friend wouldn't be wrong to call him Stylor.

I mean, that's technically not incorrect, and like >>10545425 above me says, going by the Anime rules for Headmasters, the body is a lifeless mech suit while the head is the actual robot, so in Japan Chromedome IS Stylor (or rather, Stylor is Chromedome and the body has no name). It's also possible your friend just wasn't sure which name was which, since both characters have their names displayed on the front of the box they come in; it's possible he though Chromedome was the head (which makes sense, given that 'Chrome dome' is a popular slang term for a bald person's head) and Stylor was the body.

>>10545330 anon... i hate to break it to you, thats not head canon. Thats exactly what it is. During the quantam surge that turned everyone into Transmetal, Starscream was still able to influence the transformation giving him a 3rd altmode that resembled his jet mode. Its canon.

Toys don't care! The show didn't either, it seems. But the scale of the new Lio toy and the old Big Convoy toy makes sense. Actually Lio should still be a lot smaller in comparison if talking about real animals, but I don't mind imagining Lio as a huge lion, like the size of a liger.

His head was molded in grey and had his face painted red with an orange visor. Every other release of him (except for Titans Returns, which leaves his entire head and face completely unpainted) seems to have painted his head chrome. Still understandable why he could be mistaken for being Chromedome himself.

There's nothing in the official bio about Starscream having any influence over the alt mode. Maybe it was something retroactively added in a comic or Ask Vector Prime thing somewhere, but as far s I know it isn't canon. It certainly never happened on the show, so neither of the source materials suggest it.

Honestly Siege was overall the best of the WFC trilogy. ER had higher highs but lower lows and way too much exclusive fuckery. Kingdom was pretty good to be fair, though a lot of it was ER reissues. Siege had a consistent, solid aesthetic, and honestly off the top of my head I can't think of any stinker molds, unlike ER with Megatron and Arcee or Kingdom with Tracks. Also it gave us an actually good Tetrajet, and a borderline definitive Shockwave.

>Beast Wars Sourcebook
Time for some of the author's commentary. He's a HUGE fan of Beast Wars after all.

>Someone is going to point out that the quote I took from Beast Wars should be "She stoops to conquer", a reference to an Irish romance play. Airazor would say this line and I loved it, but it was felt that "swoops" made more sense in the context of her beast form, so we changed the quote just slightly.

>Apache was introduced in the Beast Wars the Second series in what is perhaps one of the most politically incorrect ways possible. Not only does his name allude to some connection with native americans, but then he is shown getting drunk off cans of Cybertronian beverages while crying (portraying a bad stereotype). I had to discard that part of his characterization

>Dirge represents one of those characters that I had to discard most of his TV show and tech spec persona.

>Gimlet's personality was described as a super cheerful one in his tech specs, so I took that and ran with it. Granted, I stripped away the whole "Latin lovin'" aspect, mostly because it was just a bit TOO silly for my tastes.

>Hardhead is played as quite dumb in the cartoon, but I did not want a total idiot to be in the Predacon army so I downplayed that element.
>Ok, I know Hardhead was dumb as toast in the television show, but I really felt that the 'silly/wacky/not-so-bright' character archetype in Beast Wars truly belonged to someone else (who appears in issue #4, I'm sure you know who he izzz, I mean, is).

>Whenever I think about Moon, all I can imagine is Artemis smashing him with her red mallet. He was truly one of those silly concept characters that I was going to dismiss at first.

>(Injector's) tech specs pointed out that he has a lot of pride, self esteem etc. but in my head I kept thinking "But he's so darned ugly!" so I decided to add a layer to his personality. He acts like he's one of the prettiest things around, but it's just to cover his true insecurities underneath

So in the show, they made primal and lio one height and Big another.

Your sentiments are contradictory. Believing Prime should always come with a trailer is the exact same kind of sentiment as believing Magnus should always have the inner white Prime. Similarly, a "shelf fag" would insist Magnus shouldn't have the white Prime, because it has no purpose for displaying Magnus on a shelf, but someone who actually interacts with their figures would insist on having the white Prime, because it adds another feature to interact with.

Okay, when you're playing with your Optimus how often are you rolling him around with the trailer attached compared to him being a robot? Be honest.

No, what you really mean is that it results in a figure that doesn't look quite as good, an entirely visual issue. A shelf fag prioritizes the look of the figure. A play fag prioritizes features and playability. You come across as a shelf fag masquerading as a play fag.

NTA, but if you do something akin to Perfect Effect's Core Magnus, it's entirely possible to have an armor Magnus that can go from truck to big robot without needing to go through the white prime.
It would probably take a Commander budget but it's entirely doable.

He'll, you can have your cake and eat it too if the white inner robot is treated more like PM Prime so the cab just slots into the torso, with the only major issue is an inaccurate back to the animation(the cause the legs would form a backpack), something most people don't give a shit about.

The key word used in >>10546315 was "disassemble," which I assumed referred to a figure like Siege Magnus where the trailer had to be broken down into multiple parts for the transformation. I assumed this for two reasons. One, it is expected that a truck cab can separate from the trailer it's pulling, whether it's a transformer or not, so it's less one toy that's being taken apart and more two toys that can be attached to each other. Two, simply separating the cab from the trailer is an incredibly minor inconvenience to the point of being barely one, and if you think that's a significant engineering problem, the issue isn't the toy, it's you. If we go by the logic that needing to separate Magnus's cab from the trailer for transformation is bad, then the same logic applies to Optimus as he obviously can't transform without first detaching the trailer from his truck mode.

They're pretty shit. The G1 and BW bios are mostly just condensed versions of their original bios, some even being outdated like Tarantulas being a retarded ninja or Iguanus mentioning a shell the toy no longer has.
It's only novel for the new Junkions or other characters that never had a toy bio before, but even then they never say anything worthwhile.

Its simple. Accessories are fun. Optimus's trailer is an accessory. It is literally the reason he was the leader of the Autobots in G1- because he was the toy with the most play features.

Partsforming is not fun and is lazy dogshit. Modern Transformer engineering has evolved beyond the archaic need for partsforming from G1 (or SHOULD have, hello ER Cliffjumper.) Magnus having a white Prime results in an objectively worse core figure.

Saying "Optimus shouldn't have a trailer because shelffags won't use it" is like saying "transformers shouldn't have vehicle modes because shelffags only display them in robot mode." Do you believe this? Is this your mindset?

Looks like BOTH Toxitron waves showed up today - I totally wasn't expecting Wave 2 to get here so soon, let alone at the same time. The only bots missing here are Cloudcover (The light blue didn't really impress me as much as the others) and Grimlock (while I did manage to order him as soon as he showed up on Pulse, it seems they aren't ready to ship him yet despite being in Wave 2 as well). Not going to bother saying much about Tropical Cooler Sideswipe, Lemon-Lime 'Laser Cycle', Watermelon Mirage, or Hot Tamale Jazz's robot modes (other than mention that Jazz has some new guns, Sideswipe is using Red Alert's head, and I'm counting 'Laser Cycle' as a separate character), since they're all molds I've had before; Toxitron and Dead End are the two 'new' ones here, and of the two, Toxitron is the one with features worth mentioning. The only really notable thing about Dead End's robot mode is that his feet are kinda weird and tiny, so I can see him falling over a lot if you try to do too much with him; however, since they make up the rear bumper and spoiler of his car mode and also have the two 5mm holes to attach his guns, it means you can actually use his ankles to angle his weapons up and down in alt mode, which is neat. He also breaks in half like Shadowstrip, since he's supposed to attach to Menasor's left arm. I passed on the normal colored Stunticons, but since I now own two of Menasor's limbs in G2 colors, I MIGHT be tempted to get the rest of him, if they do Wildrider, Breakdown, and Motormaster in matching G2 color schemes as well.

>I don't know how I'd do it.
It honestly wouldn't be difficult. G2's problem is that the biceps sit too far out on the shoulders. Legacy's problem is that 90% of the shoulder is static, limiting arm movement. All you would need to do is have a transformation like the G2 figure, but make the arms slide inward once mostly converted to robot mode. The Legacy figure's root problem is being over-engineered as a result of re-using ER Prime's legs (which are largely re-used from SIege Prime).

I've skipped this mold twice now, but my love for garish neon color schemes finally made me give in this time. While my initial concerns about the Legacy Laser Prime mold turned out to be compltely correct (namely the shoulder pauldrons getting in the way of vertical arm articualtion and the lower torso looking too small for the rest of his body), he's still plenty of fun. His trailer opens up into a base/weapons platform containing a maintenance claw and a single turret, though the trailer has eight 5mm holes (four per side), two more 5mm holes on the underside of the panel with the claw, and two 5mm pegs on the turret, meaning you can outfit the thing with up to 12 more guns if you so desire; the trailer also contains a ramp and slots to store both Toxitron's sword and his axe; the trailer can fold up with them attached, so the weapons can be kept safely stowed away out of sight in truck mode. The top of the turret rotates and is detachable, serving as a blaster that Toxitron can hold - not that he really needs it. In addition to the blaster, his sword, and his axe (the latter two which can be combined into one big weapon), Toxitron's shoudlers open up to reveal two sets of sparkly gold missile pods; between this and whatever additional weapons you choose to place on his trailer, he's got all the firepower he could ever really need. His chest also opens up to reveal a Matrix made of the same clear, sparkly gold plastic as his shoulder missiles; I have no idea which matrix this is intended to be, but it is removable and can apparently be attached to his sword's hilt (though I have no idea why you would want to do that). As mentioned above, his shoulder pauldrons prevent him from raising his arms over his head, which is a bit problematic for a sword and axe user, but you can get some articulation by mistransforming the shoulders a bit. Fortunately, his wrists are on balljoints and his biceps rotate, so he can still manage some side-to-side hacking poses.

The alt modes of these guys are where they shine, and why I got them - with the exception of 'Laser Cycle', all of them have additional little tampographs on them that are pretty neat - Toxitron has neon orage ooze seeping out of his trailer and a G2 Decepticon symbol on his roof, Jazz has neat little triangle patters that transition away from the orange gradient on hsi hood and a G2 Autobot symbol on his front, Dead End has what looks like some kind of black and yellow comet on each door and a massive black symbol on his hood outlining his G2 decepticon logo, Mirage has some gator heads on his spoiler, green fizzy bubbles along hsi sides, and a little red G2 Autobot insignia on his hood, and Sideswipe has an entire picture of a neon sunset on both doors and his hood. Whiel Toxitron is definitely the main attraction here with all of his features, I think Sideswipe is my favorite of the rest of the bunch - between the painted pictures on him, the choice of colors, and his overall alt mode shape gives off some cool Vaporwave vibes, with Jazz and Mirage tying as a close second.
On the note of Jazz, though, there's really no way to attach his two new guns along with his old one in alt mode all at once without it looking utterly ridiculous. On a side note, I'm planning on using all but Toxitron as separate characters to differentiate them from their normal colored versions, though I haven't come up with any names for them yet.
While most of them were just recolors of characters I already had, Toxitron is pretty neat (even with the arm issue), and all of the characters are visually fun to look at; I'm already reconsidering grabbing Cloudcover (he's the only Toxitron character that showed up at my local Walmart, so him no longer being orderable on Pulse isn't an issue), and I'm hoping we get more repaints like these. Also, totally looking forward to Grimlock when they finally decide to ship him out.

Part of me would be interested in this. I love that Classics Optimus is so much its own thing that you could revamp it and it would still retain its identity. But a large part of the toy's charm does come from the fact that it was made with thick, chunky, 2006 plastic with a relatively simple transformation. And like, would you keep the forearm kibble? To me, it's kind of a part of his image, as much as G1 Grimlock's back kibble.

All of mind came from Pulse - the only character my Walmart actually has is Cloudcover, who I skipped because his colors and tampos didn't really dazzle me like the others.
I'm a Pulse Premium member, so I get first dibs on new stuff (though that doesn't always mean I can get everything - I STILL managed to miss out on Galaxy Shuttle, who was gone in seconds, and I'm fairly certain I got the very last G2 Grimlock order, since he sold out literally as soon as I finished checking out).
I know it seems stupid to be paying Hasbro even more money, but it really does help when it comes to exclusives.

The way I look at it is if you at least somewhat regularly buy from Pulse you might as well go for it. Five Pulse orders in a year already pays for premium in shipping savings alone, then added bonus of getting earlier access to releases.

I transform them back and forth and use either mode for display. Some of the magic is lost if one mode is totally crap. The trick is having two decent modes, and then this puzzle in between that allows it to go from one to the other.

They are too big to work as a base for most Transformers. Even Micromasters seem out of scale most the time since they are still bigger than a human at a gas station, buch less a base.

Some vehicle modes are blatantly the best part of a figure.

Movie toys tend to skew that way since the vehicle modes are licensed

The shame of it is that Transformers, a franchise where most fans only care about the character and not the toy, has almost completely cornered the market on transforming robot vehicle toys, so a majority of the products are beholden to plebs who don't actually appreciate the core concept.

It's really tragic. One of the simple charms of the G1 Autobots is that they go from pretty convincing cars to cool robots. Like, the "robots in disguise" angle kinda even extended to IRL; at a glance you could easily mistake them for just regular toy vehicles, which is cool in a meta way.
I may be biased as my first TF toy was RID2001 Sideburn, and I always loved how slick the car mode looked, but I do wish vehicle modes and the whole "this is a robot that disguises as a thing" angle got more love.

YES! christ's sake, that's the #1 thing you should do. second is better articulation. otherwise reissue the old toy.

jesus, they're on 2 already? it's been, what, a year?

yeah I tend to alternate mine depending which mode looks better. more robotic type animals are usually in beast mode so I can pretend they're zoids and pretend Tomy hasn't abandoned me.

I transform my characters about once weekly, so they get about as much display time in alt mode as they do in robot.. The only exception tends to be my beastly characters (Not just the Beast Wars crew, but all of my animalformers in general), who get more time in their animal forms because they're actually poseable and fun, unlike a car or truck that's essentially a paperweight on wheels. Having a good or interesting alt mode is every bit as important to me as the robot mode, and if either is compromised (looking at you, Kingdom Rhinox), it's a no buy.
Maybe you think the robot mode is the only thing that matters, but this is toyline is called 'TRANSFORMERS' for a reason - the whole thing that sets it apart from standard mecha is that they transform, and do so convincingly, so if you think it's ok to cut corners on the alt modes, maybe you're in the wrong toy franchise, or should invest in RED or statues.

This. I sometimes put them in vehicle mode if I feel they were getting tired from standing around all the time...
