I do want to get one of the rhinoxes at one point, the one whose beast mode merely has tiny feet and I can forgive that. vs the one who turns from a brick rhino with no visible leg joints to a brick robot with an admittedly cool shoulder horn decoration.

I actually don't mind the comically wide shoulders. I think it suits him and really gives him a "massive armored city commander" vibe, even though he has no inner bot. It's kind of funny that a compromise made for the sake of engineering ends up unintentionally giving some character to a bland G1- accurate design.

That sunken head is pretty terrible, though. Like, all the focus on engineering and cartoon accuracy, and there was really no way to give him like a single centimeter of extra neck?

Other than that Legacy Tarantulas but admittedly I didn't mess around with him much before putting him away.

Because not being a white Prime in armor overcomplicates the transformation. Powered Convoy was never intended to work that way after all, and Magnus cartoon model uses that toy as its foundation even if he's not a guy in armor.

Pretty sure these joints are there for transformation first and foremost. Even if they didn't care about the matrix holding pose when designing it the toy would still need all those joints just to be able to turn into truck mode.

I feel like it doesn't matter how you do it, a modern Ultra Magnus HAS to be overcomplicated because you can't just use the original engineering and add articulation. If anything, the way the legs and arms work, I'd say the armourless molds (MP, CW, SS) are decently accurate to the G1 toy everything considered. That being said, I don't get why they had to accordion the shoulders. Didn't the MP do it a lot cleaner?

Yes. Both the MP and the CW mold share the same basic transformation. I don't get the notion that Magnus has to be "overcomplicated" because despite the odd configuration of his vehicle mode, the transformation is piss easy and works exactly how it looks.

Both the CW and MP molds swing the arms alongside the torso with a single hinge. The SS felt it was necessary to add another hinge and turn it into an accordion, which forced them to make the individual panels thicker as well, so it's all just ridiculously bulky. It really doesn't make sense; almost everything about Ultra Magnus was done better and more elegantly in previous versions.

Yeah, I just got the CW Ultra Magnus mold for cheap and transformed it right out of the box, without instructions, in like 3 minutes. And, regardless of what complaints you might have about that mold's stylization or articulation, the proportions are dead-on and it perfectly proves how simple it is to turn a car carrier into a robot.

And? So does the MP. The CW chest opens as well so Minimus Ambus can sit inside. Both of those have much better looking truck cabs as well, so I have no idea how the SS mold bungled everything so hard and still ended up being bulkier than both previous attempts.

Same here. I like having an inner bot which is similar to Optimus, but distinct in it's own ways. Also the fact that when armored up, he's not that much bigger than Optimus. I would have considered the SS for a more show faithful rendition, but he's just way too big for my taste.

But the MP had the chest compartment separate as well. At this point, literally every mistake the SS version is making has already been solved by a previous attempt. They're literally doing things wrong on purpose so they can get you to buy the next version in 3-4 years.

I'm indifferent about the RID homage as I remember very little of Magnus there, but the cab seems more consistent in vehicle mode compared to Kingdom, while I like the headsculpt the most compared to Kingdom or even the Studio Series. The inner bot is fine for what he is, I don't really use it often but it's nice to have a bot with an armouring gimmick. Also Siege comes with two more guns. SS86's proportions and panels look weird

Not that anon but he's telling the truth, SS86 Magnus's chest compartment is spring-loaded. Just look at the hinges on the side of the chest windows, they're springs. IIRC it was pointed out in SDCC it's spring-loaded so the chest can open neatly in the same way it did in the movie.

>leaning toward keeping cw atm
Nothing stopping you from getting the new one and keeping CW.

Recently got the LG version for cheap and while I wish the Perfect Effect cab was available (affordably) these days, the stylized, chunky, angry cab is one of my favorite things about the figure so I really don't mind. The lack of ankle tilts is really my only complaint, but I also really like the way his stock feet look, so whatever.

It does? I've literally never seen any of them on shelves except for like, a single Kup in a beat-up box that was missing his head. I feel like I have some of the worst distribution in the continental US.

Because that's exactly what happened. The whole "X class budget but at Y class size" was just Hasbro testing the waters for another way to increase profit margins at the cost of consoomers. They'll throw in a couple of shitty gimmicks to convince you it's worth it and laugh all the way to the bank.

It was either that or a cab robot and clearly Hasbro chose the former since it's accurate to the movie which is what SS86 is all about. Also totally justified at Commander pricing as a result, way more justifiable than the shitty armada optimus toy that has no reason to be Commander class

I definitely prefer the alt mode of Siege Magnus to Kingdom. Kingdom was a half measure towards his G1 alt mode, and it comes across as half baked as a result. I'd rather have a different take which is better thought out and more cohesive than a retrofitted design with a lot of compromises.

Yes, that's exactly what it's for. Most trucks ride up so high that the truck driver can't see a car that close to their passenger side through the normal window. It's just a little peep hole.

I really love the Perfect Effect cab, but it also removes one of my favorite details about the CW/LG figure, which is the little yellow truck headlights wrapping around and peeking through at his waist. It also kinda disrupts the stylish taper of his torso as a whole.

Don't get me wrong. I still want one. I'm just salty we never got the whole shebang in Delta Magnus colors.

Finally saw Scourge go back up on Amazon for MSRP, so I used a bunch of points to get him for free. I wasn't sure at first, but I'm warming up to him. The texture on his arm blade is kinda cool, but I'm glad it can just pop off; the whole reason I was interested in this guy was because I thought he looked like some kind of Mad Max samurai truck, so I think he looks much better with a proper sword. He makes a good leader for the my floating 'Cons with no dedicated squad.

It's been a while since i've bought a new Leader class, but damn he feels small. Probably my only complaint.

Well, no. it's based on the movie shot where his waist and legs are 90° compared to the upper body.

The artist made a point to imitate the pose, resulting in the crotch bit of the figure he was drawing bing turned 90° compared to how it is. Now, to see if the actual figure can do it too remains to be seen.

The front grill is lined up with the torso in the movie shot, and so is it with the toy drawing (whose bumper is attached to)

But the crotch is rotated 90° and so it is in the toy drawing too. and the legs in the toy drawing are attached to the crotch.

The legs aren't facing forward in the movie shot, they are rotated 90° compared to the torso. The toy drawing try to reproduce that pose.

I still think the artist cheated to imitate the movie pose and there is no waist swivel, though.

You could say it homage the original drawing that gave knee articulation to the toy drawing when the actual figure doesn't.

Subjective. I think the idea of "Ultra Magnus" being a title that is passed down across worthy Autobot commanders is really neat. And I very much like the concept that the most recent iteration is just a super tiny, noble dude who has a hypercharged spark that can power armor exponentially bigger than he is. It doesn't even erase the concept of a "White Prime" Ultra Magnus; maybe he was one of the earlier ones. Maybe he was the original one?

The fact that you think the concept of "Prime's bro with an overwhelming burden of responsibility" is the "same thing" as "Micromaster pedant with an ambitious sense of duty" only makes you sound like an idiot who doesn't even read the media which he positions as the deciding factor in which toys he enjoys.

For any ausanons, Toxitron wave is starting to hit shelves now despite it being slated for an August 17th release.

FOMO got me when I saw the whole wave on the pegs so I picked up the ones I thought would dissapear the quickest. Would've got Toxitron himself but another full-priced leader wasn't in the budget right now and I already have the other 2 versions of the mould.
Even though he's the waves namesake I think most people are after the Grimlock so I'm hoping Toxitron sticks around a little longer.

Immediately I liked the blue plastic they used for Dead End's limbs, looks quite nice.

From what I recall this
>he's a super special transformer with a super powerful spark
refers to how he is a type of transformer with a spark strong enough to power up a combiner hueg transformer which is why e can wear the Magnus armor, and they had to do this because the IDW lore is unusually hostile to treating cybertronians as machines.

Then, this
>he's also secretly this established, really popular, iconic transformer character
refers to how he turned out to be some sort of hidden legend/super hero of Cybertron for having impersonated Ultra Magnus during the highlights of his career as a soldier; which undermines the importance of the real Ultra Magnus for literally no reason other than making him out to be important when the first trait and his job of impersonating Wreckers-era Ultra Magnus was enough to make him important.

They pretty much established his Spark was like a load bearing type, so you could keep bolting crap on him and he could still transform without killing the user. They tried to establish this spark nonsense early when they bring up joy some cybertronians could straight up die if they swapped bodies, but then many chracters do it with little issue, so the load bearing bit felt pointless.

They used to have the whole wave minus G2 Grimlock up on their website for preorder but took them down for some silly reason. I'm hoping they put them back up soon so I can snag Toxitron and Watermelon Mirage off there instead of in person.

>I want that Grimlock but its tough deciding between him or the SG version.
I have the SS86/Original version and I think the mould is great enough to double dip on.
IMO you should go for the Toxitron G2 Grimlock since once he's gone he'll be gone for good.
The latest Shattered Glass figure (Ultra Magnus) hit clearance at JB and still is on clearance, so theres always that chance of SG Grimlock going on clearance as well.
I don't think the SG figures do too well sales-wise

NTA but the big complaint is the shoulder pylons obstructing articulation for a sword/melee user.
strangely enough if they gave him a ranged weapon instead of a melee one there would probably be less of a stink about him.

Other than that he's a glorified voyager with a nothing trailer.

Bad proportions, bad parts color distribution (on Scourge and specially for Optimus) with parts using the wrong color and painted areas that are susceptible to paint chipping, tiny swords, torso is too short, the shoulder articulation is awful, the trailer was gutted (was it too hard to keep the nice tower the og had?).

Unique to Prime, they painted over the clear plastic half of the head, but left his eyes unpainted so he has dead eyes.

It's pretty mid. It's a good showpiece and both Toxi and Scourge are gorgeous decos, but it takes what should've been a dead-fucking-simple design, overcomplicates the fuck out of it for no goddamn reason, and both modes suffer as a result. The arms are weird and stumpy and dangle out the back of the truck, the shoulders are fucky and weird, and budget that could've gone to the trailer went into needlessly turning the torso inside out. What is honestly so hard about truck stand up, shoulders split apart? If you're getting any version of this mold you're doing it for the deco.

Speaking of truck stand up, shoulders split... Compare to Armada OP, which just was a slight iteration of the same dead fucking simple transformation the original used, and absolutely fucking NAILS it. When adapting toy first designs like Laser Prime or the UT stuff, where animation models were directly lifted from the toys with minimal artistic license, Keep It Simple Stupid really applies.

Hard disagree, armada optimus is shit compared to Laser optimus. Laser pretty much modernized every aspect of the original toy into the new one. Yeah it's annoying he can't get good sword poses because his shoulder pylons are in the way but he got shoulder mounted missile launchers so it's a fair trade off anyways and makes him look heroic. Plus the trailer is a good repair station, needs guns but at least there's 5mm ports so that any targetmasters or third party option sets can fill them up. The only good optimus design and toy is one that can stand on it's own and anything it comes with are accessories. Armada optimus fails at this because he needs the trailer to combine into a bigger robot and its a sin to make optimus combine with anything at all. Since armada optimus cannot stand on his own without his trailer that actuarially makes him the worst toy out of the two. You'll find more enjoyment out of Laser prime than an optimus who needs to combine with his trailer to get waist articulation.

Nice bait, but I was specifically addressing the Armada core robot. Both AOP and LOP use the same basic transformation scheme, but for some reason the Legacy toy had to be completely retarded about it for no reason whatsoever. Keeping the original transformation instead of turning the torso inside out like a paper fortune teller for some unknowable fucking reason would've made it more fun to transform, more solid feeling, not fucked up the shoulders, and freed up budget to make the trailer better.

And I reiterate anon, what you've said is only an annoyance for you. Otherwise Laser optimus is a great toy all around, and while that is true the trailer could've been better it is vastly superior over the armada trailer because at least Laser optimus's trailer can be an independent repair station while armada optimus's trailer needs him to fulfil a purpose that is not associated with any optimus ever.

Replacing the whole leg looks pretty simple, the hip section is held together by screws.
I don't know how difficult it is to just replace the lower legs though, looks like the knee also uses a screw.

Well I hope you end up finding them both soon anon.
While they're all just a bunch of recolours, they really stand out with a flash of colours that add something to the collection. They're some nice pieces to admire and mess around with.
>but those two just had to be short packed for no fucking reason meanwhile
I thought it'd be the same situation over here but they actually had multiples of Dead End and Sideswipe on the pegs when I saw them, which came as a surprise.
This might be the one and only assortment we get of the Toxitron line though as the retailer has advertised them as "While stock lasts" items, so I'm not entirely sure we'll get a restock once they're sold out.
>and it's really cool to get an actual regular retail toxitron based on his original design even if the mold isn't all that great
True, even though I'm not a fan of it, his trailer works best as a toxic waste tanker and I enjoy the different coloured clear plastics they used for him.
He really would've been complete with a proper blaster that continued the oozing toxic waste deco.

Hmm. Have any Australians preordered Nemesis from Amazon? Is anyone getting their release pushed back? Two days before release mine got pushed back two weeks. I've just had another email now pushing it back to the end of the month.

Wondering if they're fulfilling preorders first for people who are paying the full $330ish instead of people who were there from the start and got the sale discount a while back.

Shame half the plastic has the consistency of a gummy bear, most of that being in the legs which are expected to support all that weight. That's the case for their regular size KO, but that's $14 so I can sort of live with it, but is just unacceptable on a toy that large. BMB really has gone to shit though. Their Volcanicus re-run box set lacks Slash & several weapons. Their Abominus re-run lacks the Hun-gurr stickers, the bird sword & the Rippersnapper guns. The plastic quality they use now is trash. Their Scavenger from oversized Devastator has shoulder joints made of weak plastic, expecting to hold up the massive scoop arms or the full combiner arms, so count on them breaking.

>While they're all just a bunch of recolours, they really stand out with a flash of colours that add something to the collection.
Agreed, and there's also the novelty of them being unreleased concepts that mostly haven't seen the light of day before. It's a neat capsule and makes me excited for the prospect of getting even more unreleased designs as legacy bolsters its roster (g2 protectobots doko?)
>He really would've been complete with a proper blaster that continued the oozing toxic waste deco.
I also wish they went a bit harder on toxitron, but I do kinda get them just doing his original look before he became a developed character and niche cult favorite

Grimlock is a separate case, and Cloudcover is a solid case due to being the only Voyager. Jazz Mirage and Laser Cycle are all packed multiple to a case; there's only one Dead End and Sideswipe per case.

Due to all the recent discussions i pulled out the big boy himself today, still a great looking figure, but hes showing his age, posing is a bit awkward, and theres a lot of hollowness

I think after we get some reviews of the new ss, if i decide to stick with this magnus ill upgrade to the takara version and finally buy the other upgrades for him, this figure is so close.

I also can't ignore that i have a pretty special memory with this figure, i got him the day i quit working at this terrible job, i was just having the worst fucking time and finally walked out, after i welent to target and bought him on a whim then went to my friends house in the middle of the day to get shit faced and play with a big robot, a very bitter sweet day.

The perfect effect core figure too was special, a christmas present from my girl, even if i did upgrade magnus i'd still keep the perfect effect figure, hes amazing

It's pretty great, even without upgrades.
If there was a way to fix some of the hollowness and the feet, which are garbage, I wouldn't be debating myself on keeping it or replacing it with the SS86.
If anything one of the very few ideas I liked from IDW, maximus armor, will be impossible to add/homage/shoehorn to the new one due to its lack of ports unlike the old mold.

In the case of Ultra Magnus, I want it to be armed to the teeth because I picture the guy as a powerhouse and as fat and imposing SS86 looks, it lacks firepower as well as the means of giving it some without doing some heavy modding.

I haven't done anything wrong. You're assuming I care about your "rules". Just because I can't be bothered making new threads (for now) doesn't mean I won't encourage the creation of punctual and concisely authored threads by posting in them. Although if you're referring to the Toxitron thread I haven't even posted in there.
>The only loser is you.
How? I've permanently buckbroken /tfg/ to be constantly jumping at shadows, the posters accusing each other of being "goanon", and for all their paranoia all it takes is one person for send the general completely apeshit and fracturing into multiple threads, and I don't need to DO anything. I've won. Your threads are forever defiled, you have me living in your heads rent free and all I need to do is just exist. /tfg/ will never be the same again, and there is nothing you can do about it. What are you gonna do, bitchboy? I destroyed /tfg/. As far as I'm concerned, my work is done. The only way for you to recover any shred of dignity is to take the L and accept defeat, and stop having a fit every time any anon "breaks da rulez" or you recognize a photo taken by your conqueror. But you won't do that, because that would require an iota of humility, self-awareness and acknowledgement of reality.
The thread wars are over, slowfags! You...lose!

I dunno what I'll do with him now, I mean I could re-repaint but he's already gettin kinda tough to work the joints in some areas (I painted inside all the joints and clearcoated them in those positions so they would never scrape off or show)

Not a lot, Tarantulas has some gloss on his chest which ruins the spider mode and Dinobot's colors are slightly darker, but the OG Kingdom figure is already close enough. Honestly unless you really want that glossy spider chest the one is probably skippable.

Just cake it with floor polish, acrylic, or even the ghetto super glue method, if you really like the toy enough. He's a light enough figure that it'll hold him up.

now if you said that it was a nefarious plot to get you to -buy something else in stock- to make the lootpile more efficient, sure. i could put tinfoil on my hat for that.

You won't though. Even if you use superglue, just do it a little at a time and keep moving the joint until it's mostly dry. I used superglue for years before I was able to find a cheap acrylic clear coat locally.

The problem I've found with acrylic is that, with certain types of plastic it doesn't adhere well. It makes a nice coating, but then it just completely peels off the first time you use the joint.

My point is that if you really just want to fix a loose joint, superglue is a much better option than doing nothing.

but if you can work it INTO a joint, it won't matter if it does slough a bit. it'll be like those really small joints that people tighten purely by wrapping tape around them, then releasing, so that thin layer of glue

This was the first time I actually noticed the issue. It seems to mostly apply to softer plastics, but I put it on the ball joints for Transmetal Waspinator's bug legs, and it just becomes a shell that works its way out within a few movements.

That said I don't have a Dinobot at all, and would like to pick one up. Is there any reason to pick this one up over the original? I might just do that and paint it up myself, esp since this one has the weird purple sword again too. And they didn't fix the weird velociraptor hands.

>weird hands
yeah I would have preferred if his robot mode thumbs could fold entirely into the backs of the feet, and his robot mode fingers flex backward so that he could walk on tiptoes properly.
it's a slightly awkward mold all around but they did a great job with what was formerly a completely cheaty transformation, and did some brilliant stuff around the robot torso. absolutely brilliant.
