No because this implies they solved GPS when it's showing up in more and more recent toys still.

Damn nigga thats rough. RoTF holds a stupid place in my heart. All of the first 3 movies do to an extent, but I remember showing my buddies the collection of oooold G1 and BW transformers I still had the night before we saw the movie at a midnight release. The hype was unreal.

Thats cool, I'm not super famliar with those figures. I was born in 91 so my favs all came from G1, G2 (over the years has become my favorite for the coloring alone), BW and Armada.

The short version is: I found out about G1 Grimlock around the time when AOE was new and fell in love with his robot mode design. I thought to myself "Man if I could get any transformer It'd be this one, but modern Transformers is just the movie stuff. It's not like I can just walk into a store and find a modernized version of this 1984 toy on the shelves".
A few years later, I walked into a store and just so happened to check the Transformers section during wave 1 of PotP. He's been my favorite Transformers figure since.

What do you guys think are the best concept art/toy-original Bayformer designs?
Me personally, I still have my 2007 Arcee from childhood and she's still one of my favorite TF toys, despite her age. If I had RotF Breakaway he'd be right up there, but since I never got him I'm waiting for a beeger SS release (also DotM Warpath lol).
How about you guys? I also remember the RotF vintage biplane fucker looking cool.

I didn't shop many of the toys from the era, but of all bayformer designs I really think Blackout is the standout and still find it weird (and I know I've said this in previous threads) that he isn't Main Cast material. He has a great alt mode of BIG HELICOPTER and his robot mode has a distinct silhouette. Maybe its because he was given no characterization whatsoever in the first movie, but his design stands out to me as the best and one of the least busy from the movies.

Not really prized since there's no great emotional attachment but I recently got Cybertron Supreme Starscream and he's loads of fun.
I did always want him and it just reminds me of the times when you'd see packed toy shelves of all kinds of stuff.
Starscream took up a lot of shelf space so he's been pretty prominent in my mind whenever I think back to those times so I've always wanted him since.
Really glad I finally got him.

Dug out my childhood Animated Bumblebee; wasn't an ideal toy back then but still very good for what it was.
Most of all I really love the cartoony proportions of the dinky car - I feel like, having it ride around right next to my SS86/Legacy cars, it only helps highlight how unique both it AND whatever other vehicle it's next to really look. Just by sitting there it subconsciously draws your eyes to what makes every other figure unique or special, and I think that was part of what made Animated toys so special.
I know the Legacy United one is gonna be G1ified like Prowl, but I hope he's at least a little more faithful to the proportions and shaping. Maybe then I could just easily by a 3P replacement head and treat it as a proper TFA Bumblebee. Eh... feels nice to dream, I guess..

Did the people who started Diaclone (that influenced Transformers in America's similar toy rollout) also make lots of Kaiju toys? Their stuff looks closer to a Godzilla toy (pic related). Transformers were almost all Mecha Cars. Maybe it's because of the 1982 Car-Robot line.

This guy and Bulkhead were my two favorites from the Wreck N' Rule collection - he's actually one of the two characters that started warming me up to headmasters in general (the other being SS Cogman), since I avoided them up until recently. He looks great in both modes and is just fun all around.
>>10605836
>What did they mean by this?
He's supposed to be merged with Airazor. Like the other anon said, Hasbro basically came up with three teams to find a way to integrate the Beast stuff with the vehicles, each one taking a different approach to the idea. It's why we got Beasts that turn into a suit of armor, beasts that turn into Targetmasters, and that guy in your pic.

Cloudcover ended up being a sleeper hit for me
His digital blue sky deco is just phenomenal, I would have even preferred if they left out the Decepticon badges on the wings so it didn't break it up.

>>10605713
Yeah that's my only gripe about the overall deco, it's way too dark and glossy that unless you get it in the right light you can't make out any face details.

In-hand I think the panel lines kind of complement the pixel deco as it makes for some darker colors and shadows along the jet mode.
But I see where you're coming from though, looking back at my pics I don't think thats something that translates very well.
It makes it look like the deco is broken up even more than it actually is.

That's literally how it works in real-life, though. All of the panels and shit on a plane don't just magically vanish because you put paint on them, though obviously, how many panels are visible varies depending on the make of the plane.

Mine would probably be Animated Shockwave. He’s my one of my favorite characters in the franchise, he was one of my first figures, and he has a great gimmick.

I actually don't mind that because the back deck of a truck is typically pretty sparse, often just the chassis frame and the rear axle. Transformers usually bulk it up a bit. It is weird though, because both his legs and the back of the truck look a little scrawny, and making them a little bigger would have solved both problems. I'm fine with it, though, and the rest of the transformation is fun enough to offset it.

>>10606715
>Battletrap
I was so excited for a burly GMC tow truck and it just didn't pan out. The underside kibble and the scrappiness of the back overall just kind of ruined it for me. I'd buy him if I ever saw him on clearance, but I never saw him to begin with. Only reason I even got Scourge was because I caught him on Amazon for MSRP.

Probably Magna Convoy. I always kinda wanted a classics Optimus mold since it was pretty popular when I started collecting, and I'm always disappointed that we don't get more blue/diaclone repaints of any given Optimus mold. I ended up paying like 90 bucks for him, but seeing as how he's more than tripled in price over the past few years, I don't really regret it. Not that I would have anyway, I love this mold.

I would normally respond with a decepticon like Astrotrain or Soundwave because I like the characters. But the toy I keep coming back to playing with the most is probably Deepcover. I just really like how articulate yet simple he is. I like to pretend he's still just Sideswipe but going through a kind of grieving phase after Sunstreaker was killed.

Bold move. Everyone seems to be wondering what the next "Missing Link" figure is going to be, but I wouldn't be surprised if they only did Optimus. I feel like it's actually a lot of work to reverse engineer modern articulation into old figures, and Optimus is gonna be one of the very few bots where they can be sure they'll make their money back. Plus, a lot of G1 bots have such weird proportions that even if they did manage to tweak the articulation, they'd just look goofy as hell in any pose, or their own kibble would keep them from actually being able to make use of it.

I could see them doing Soundwave, but after that it's a bit of a crapshoot as to what would actually be worth the effort in terms of both cost and potential improvement.

That's what everyone wants but that would mean releasing a gun Megatron and, well, good luck getting the Hasbro half of Hastak to approve that. What's dumber is that it's a missed opportunity for two figures if they don't; one with the accessories and one without, with one matching toy colors and one matching anime colors, just like Missing Link Prime.
Missing Link Soundwave with Missing Link Cassettes with ridiculous amounts of engineering and articulation on the cassettes would be amazing though. They could do two packs for that as well with each having different colorations for the cassettes as well.

in this case, the only visible panel lines are on the wings, running roughly parallel or perpendicular to them. If the camo were arranged along those lines, it would look weird too.

Was doing some casual ebay scrolling of listings ending soon and saw this bad boy at $5 boxed so i impulse bought him.

Very cool looking dynamic shapes, a strong creepy face, i dig the spikiness of him. The pinkish unpainted plastic is kinda lame, but for a fiver im not complaining. Also his legs are limited, decent enough range on the hip balljoint but his knees are all hinged such that they only do this pose or collapse, really solid ankle balljoint at least.

>>10606924
Yeah same, got excited till i opened the link, i do want her but not for more than $20 at max

>>10606932
Hell yeah, i can't speak for Dirge but i really enjoyed the Rodimus + Sideswipe 2pack, I was especially impressed by how Rodimus looks in person even though mine had some issues with his arm panel not wanting to close at first, the minicon is really neat too

>>10607161
I don't blame mainframe for that, they were chopshop models for a quick scene, doing all the colouring would have been a waste of time for the turnaround on the show and anyone with a brain could clearly tell the red lighting was to set the scene of them being spooky and menacing.

well, as I understand it, they wanted to make them look like the toys, but they were not able to within the timeframe given? So Hasbro was like "well if you don't have time/budget to make them look like the toys, then just don't use the individual names Ram Horn, Sea Clamp, etc" and they just went okay, and made rando designs.

I've grown to love my diverse TFs from multiple generations, but I'd say ROTF Buster Prime holds a special place in my heart simply because he was the first "off-store"/Takara TF I ever hunted for. I guess the hunt was more memorable than the toy itself. While I don't hold him to a grail's importance these days because of Thunder Leader and OS MP G1 Prime, I still keep him in an isolated glass case because he exists as a fond memory of the years where I had fun finding physical collector's stores (ordering online was difficult for me back then) and haggling terribly with store owners.

Far as my search shows, I don't think its actually out yet, but the Jet mode looks messy and the car mode looks panel-y. I really do wish the pair would get full triple changer toys, even if the engineering involved may be nigh impossible. I loved their designs, and it was cool to get more or less new characters and triple changers at that. A rarity.

Like I said, we're getting an Animated Bumblebee next year and that sketch is based on what the leaker supposedly saw. >>10607806 has a point since the guy who supposedly drew it has a shaky history but why not anyways, we're all looking forward to the new toys and always wonder how they look like before they're revealed.

You can attach the larkin's lair cannons in vehicle mode but they look dumb when doing it, meanwhile nonnef's can actually flip down to resemble how his G1 toy did it. Think that's the clear winner here. Well, aside from needing to get some gap fillers separately, too...

This looks awesome to me though. His head is small, making him look more built. While his overall silhouette is really kibbly, his arms and legs have cool proportions, going from thin to thick, and his torso goes from thin waist to wide chest. He looks like a chad. The update has really clunky proportions to me, it just looks lame and unstylish compared to the original.

Also, the stripes on his chest look intentional here, they're longer and slimmer, and don't have that rectangular hole in them. I will admit the metallic blue is very nice though.

We had Legacy in 2022, Legacy Evolution in 2023 this year and Legacy UNI (no word on what it means, it is simply titled UNI in the product codes) in 2024.

No, you have to be a retard to not get that change exist and since you can't read I have to spoonfeed you. The War For Cybertron trilogy (not to be confused with the game of the same name) started in 2019 with Siege which was followed up by Earthrise in 2020 and Kingdom in 2021. Since those 3 lines are a part of the War For Cybetron trilogy they're usually referred to and shortened as WFC: Siege, WFC Earthrise and WFC Kingdom.

In 2021 Hasbro revealed a new trilogy called Legacy that continues after the War For Cybertron trilogy beginning with just Legacy in 2022. The trilogy continues in 2023 now called Legacy Evolution and while it hasn't been officially revealed yet Target product codes label the 2024 line as Legacy UNI so until we get an official name the 2024 line next year is referred to as Legacy UNI, whether Uni means United or Unicron we don't know.

Hasbro updated his G1 figure to modern standards and they achieved that, there's really not much else to say about it.
Like >>10607678 said, even Hasbro seemed to realize that and decided to give him a little extra.

got Skullcruncher. not quite as fun to play with on his own as I was hoping, the legs have weird pegs on one side that holds th e armor mode in place, and the jaw actually doesn't move (Rather, head pops off)
but I'm gonna see if I can still make a fun fanmode here. the tail's handle actually comes off, giving you a 5mm adapter piece allowing any 5mm handle to turn 90 degrees.. and be guacamole green, but still. Could see that being useful.

... naw the armor mode is springloaded, so I can't really fanmode it, though it makes a VERY effective 'base mode' something i never use and would obviously be ludicrously out of scale.
... on the other hand.. this is potentially compatible with my broken SS airazor.. I could mangle them together into a complete body, that transforms separately into a gator and a bird...

but I worked hard on customizing the shins of the netflix one, so I feel okay giving this one a pass. it'd be different if he came with his gun.

aw I dunno he seems like a fun lil bot. more than 7 bucks, or if you had to pay for shipping, and I'd agree it's a waste.. but even if you don't like him, you can always customize him.. throw a spare head inside that bulb, make him a different robot of your own making. or hell even if you painted the inside of the cone black or metallic gold, that'd give him a unique look

Really wish they used this mold for Nacelle - just swap the head for a standard Seeker one, paint it red, white, and blue, and boom. I don't understand why they thought using the standard Tetrajet mold and forgoing Nacelle's defining features was a good idea, especially since the original was a Thrust retool to begin with; seems like it would have been a no-brainer.

I got drunk last night and pre-ordered Missing Link C-01, and I don't think I regret it. I've been cynical about it because it's such an obvious nostalgia ploy, but several shots of vodka forced me to realize how fucking cool of a concept it is, regardless. Plus I never had a G1 Optimus and always wanted it. It's shipping out right around my birthday, so that should be a nice treat.

I'm assuming the reason they went with the tetrajet for nacelle is because he's part of amazon's idw subline or whatever and he showed up in idw as that mold. Id have preferred a modified ER thrust too but it at least makes sense when viewed like that i guess.

Finally getting around to giving Transformers Animated a fair watch. While I am a fan of the characters and designs in the show, I never liked how they looked in plastic. The writing isn't bad and the voice acting ain't terrible either, and while I know G1 did human/alien villains too, I just don't like it in G1 or in TFA. Less human villains, more transformers I say. Still, not bad.

That's actually what drew me to the show, the fact that the toys ended up looking almost identical. I seem to recall the human villains were used for season 1 because the writers wanted the Decepticons to eventually be the real threats. Introducing them earlier would have either made them less menacing or a short show. That said, I certainly wouldn't mind a Transformers show that focused exclusively on the robots.

With the talk of Animated's humans, and after having just finished Furman's IDW run, I realized that my favorite human characters in any TF media come from both of them (as well as Super Link, the first three Bay films, and the BB movie), and I think it's because they're all adults. Or late teens, at the youngest. Even Sari gets much more entertaining after she hits her growth spurt, at least IMO.

The most annoying human characters to me are the ones from TF Prime, Armada/ML, and Galaxy Force, and they're all consistently young children to act as audience surrogates. That's not to say that's a bad thing inherently; the kid from Car Robots wasn't terrible, and I really like the idea of Star Saber having a human son. But too often the human characters are the most annoying, "what time-crunched adults think children are like"-written little shits, that aren't good for anything but spelling out the plot to the more stupid kids in the audience.
Meanwhile, if it's an older teen or adult, they get to be written like actual people. Fanzone, Isaac Sumdac, Kicker, Sam, and Verity were all very entertaining in their own rights, and I got just as big a fan of them as the transformers themselves.
