Be careful when ordering from Amazon. Just got my Siege (((Springer))) and they just threw a label on him and that's it. No box, nothing.

to be totally honest I've often felt that'd be a fine and efficient way to ship non-fragile things. But I never went through with it, always at least wrapped the sucker in paper. sometimes... literally sheets of printer paper.

Honestly it says something for Straxus on how much the dots and shading on him doesn't bother me. Maybe it just works with the blue better.

it's funny, older comics tend to have nice big blocks of color, because A) color printing used to be a lot of manual labor and B) they expect the inker to do all the work with shading and detail, and they don't want to muddle that

I think he looks great in bot mode, and I've warmed up on the vehicle mode slightly, but I'm still not keen on that price. I don't know what else they could have packed in to justify it more because it's not like Bumblebee had a whole lot of stuff in G1, but he just looks downright comical next to TFOne Optimus. I really wish we weren't bound by strict price points and this guy could be more like $15 but that is not the world we live in. Maybe he'll go on sale or something, he's supposed to be an always available "A-level" figure so that might help?
It would be nice if we finally got a Glyph and Tap-Out out of this mold

It's possible. MP45 is licensed too but he gets to retain his proper yellow so maybe they were less strict on it because of the Choro-Q shape of it. Moot point on THIS Bee of course because his packaging has no VW branding at all.

Shitting and praying that The Fallen next year will be comic-accurate too, to keep up the pattern from these two and Tarn.
I definitely wanna pick up Straxus, but there's nothing yet in stock on Pulse that I desperately wanna get, or is on sale, so I can't get free shipping on him. Guess I don't mind waiting tho, considering none of these comic figure preorders have sold out; will very likely still have plenty of time to pick him up later.
But damn he really does look fucking cool.

Hrrmmm, well it only takes about $5 off a given Deluxe or Voyager, so 20-30 plus Straxus' $55 is still around $80-90 total when considering tax... Ehhhh. I guess I'll spring for him plus GF Starscream - he doesn't seem like he's gonna go out of stock or anything since he's being repacked next wave, but he is in good demand so he's prolly not gonna go on sale much otherwise. Plus he's basically the only guy I really strongly want out right now, so I guess I'll spring for it. $90 for two toys still bites, though...

I think the TF One Optimus comparison makes it look worse than it actually is to me, because that actually looks like a pretty large deluxe, which in turn makes Bee seem even teenier(I mean he should be teeny but still). Just feels strange seeing two figures next to each other, one half the size of the other, and they're the same price.

Both figures are actually Hasbro being nice, in a way. TF One OP is prob a great value, as far as size/plastic/parts is concerned. Hes a gateway drug. With Bumblebee, they already know you’d pay $40 for it, so $25 is generous.

It's close enough, and attaching the red gun with the shoulder scope piece ontop of the jet evokes the original further. You look at that original design used for like two panels total and tell me it could reasonably transform into the robot mode we got.

The original design was absolutely nothing of the sort, so I dunno if that was the intent with the final one.

He was originally a gunship, just instead of guns, his two legs became like tuning fork prongs and he shot, you guessed it, soundwaves.

The chest window was on top, not on back, and he had no pylons to hold the nacells up, they were just slapped onto his sides.

Considering Megatron and Ironhide had weapon mode gimmicks that were dropped, the square nacelles were likely related to that, but they were cool so they stayed in the final design.

You say that as if 25 bucks isn't the standard price for any deluxe, regardless of licensing. The ongoing fuss about Bumblebees is absurd and only proves how spoiled geewunners are getting. If you don't like this one, buy the one that came out just a few years ago that was a licensed Beetle. Oh wait, you want deformed licensed Beetle? Well buy the MP 2.0 then. The fact that there's any whining about the variety of Bumblebees available is fucking insane, I am so sick of this yellow turd.

Would you forgo the vac metal if it meant getting the Transmetal characters from Beast Wars?
Because I would, they've done basically everyone else, except the Transmetal guys. I'm surprised they haven't done Quickstrike yet to go with Silverbolt. Hell they could just re-issue the original toy in yellow plastic instead of clear and mildly retool the cobra head to remove the squirt feature and it would be fine, he still scales pretty well.

You know what? That's fair, and that speaks to a bigger issue I have with the Transformers toyline in general, we are constantly getting G1 over and over, while neglecting the rest of the franchise. You could split the difference and have Armada (and the Unicron Trilogy as a whole) in the mainline, considering they've already done a bunch, which gets you the name characters. Then you could get the mooks in the Gamer Edition line.
I tried to like the game, I just got it recently and 100% clocked the thing, but it was just awkward and annoying. That being said, I wouldn't mine getting one of those invisible gorilla dudes with the EMP attack. I even got an original secondhand Cyclonus just because I liked his design in the game (never watched the show).

F-15 is 19.43 meters, ER seekers are 1/87 scale, which is also the same scale as SS movie Starscream (about) and is HO scale for model trains. Roadhandler and swindler from Siege are also about 1/83 scale fyi
As a side note I figured out the scale of SS-38 and Buzzworthy ROTB Optimus, both the Mamon and Freightliner cabs are 86 inches bumper to back of cab, and using that SS-38 is 1/45 scale (similar scale of battle blades optimus). The ROTB Optimus is 1/52, and should scale well with 2007 Wreckage, 2007 legends Jazz, SS DOTM Megatron, DOTM Leader Sentinel, and DOTM Voyager Optimus, in vehicle mode.

You're giving them a little too much credit here. Both of battletrap's alt modes are EXTREMELY scuffed in service of two other modes at that scale, and flywheels is equivalent to splitting a figure in half at the mushroom peg and bullshitting a mode out of both of them.

To be quite honest though, regardless of vac metal, a lot of the coolest transmetal toys are just too big and frivolous to be remade today.

Because that's too big for Goldbug. Also they literally had a licensed VW bug mold they needed to squeeze some more profit out of, and it only needed a new head.

Like, seriously? You'll never understand that? It's pretty straightforward.

That's what makes this so fucking crazy, when that guy dropped with the mold but as a different store exclusive it gave everyone hope the SS was going to be in that, but nope, get this waste of a design.

Actually it be about the right height if we are talking scale. Goldbug was taller than BB both in the Marvel comic and Cartoon/Anime.

That's not how any of that works. They have to get rights every time they use it. Volkswagen is a motherfucker to work with when using their brand even Mattel has horror stories of dealing with them. And to >>10996832 is why it was so crazy they used in with Goldbug because they would have had to go through a process again of getting the rights to use it with another figure. VW wasn't like "you can use this for X amount of months/years" it's more like "You get this one, want to use it more? Come back later"

I was obviously being hyperbolic. Also, I'm not sure Goldbug is the same size as Bumblebee. I've never watched G1 because I don't care about it, but from some of the screencaps I've seen, he seems way bigger. Again, don't quote me on that, I've never checked the episodes, I like toys first and foremost.

Goldbug is only a foot shorter than Blurr/Hotrod in height in both return of Optimus Prime Retrun and Rebirth. It's why Fun Publications made Shatter Glass Goldbug with the Cybertron Hotshot mold was because he was to tall/big to be BB but it was comparable for his upgrade.

I like tons of flawed figures of characters I give zero fucks about. The figure just has to be fun and cool enough to outweigh the flaws. That's it.

I think the issue is moreso that a lot of Hasbro's current offerings basically require you to be invested in a given toy for reasons beyond the toy itself, because Hasbro has forgotten how to make a toy cool, stylish, and/or appealing in and of itself. I think this can be majorly reflected in the shift toward packaging characters in robot mode instead of alt mode. It used to be the alt mode was the entire purpose. Like, yeah, you're buying an action figure, big whoop, but LOOK at what this action figure can DO. Lately, most alt modes just seem like a formality that the designers begrudgingly include.

Not for me. If anything, my love for characters is dictated by which toys I like the most. If a buy a bot and love it so much that it stays on my desk to be fiddled with for months or even years, then I'll start to bond with them and look for reasons to appreciate them as a character.

Not that it really matters, imo. Most Transformers media is pretty bad. Conversely, I rather love Beast Wars, but don't have love for many of the toys because I'm just not into organic beast alt modes. I do love some Transmetals, but my absolute favorite (picrel) didn't even appear in the show.

Yeah. I've already started losing interest in the new comic. I was really getting hyped, but the last few issues have been pretty meh, especially since they got the new artist who has the most boring page layouts imaginable. It wouldn't bother me usually, but the layouts for issues 1-6 were phenomenal and one of my favorite things about the book, and now it's just all rectangles. Yawn.

i noticed something interesting about quickstrike.. either his scorpion DNA, or his being vaguely "sort of transmetalized", or just slavish toy-accuracy, led to his tail being segmented even on the show. they didnt just go with what the toy was presumably depicting, and make it a real, unsegmented snake

this is objectively true, but my old BW guys all have loose joints now. they're not floppy or anything, but even when they were new they couldn't hold another figure on their shoulders. think about it, that would require the penguin's shoulders to be as strong as megatron's knees and hips. and thems is STRONG ratchets.

As Transformers a lot of Beast Wars stuff kind of sucks. They rely on specific aesthetic decisions to get by. I don't think it would work with how Hasbro does things now. I always liked the Transmetal style (it's also what my nostalgia primarily associates with Beast Wars) but modern iterations would be even more flat and sterile looking than what we got in Kingdom.

two points here
what makes plastic break is not being chromed (though the chrome itself can flake), but mixing metallic flakes INTO the plastic, and doing so in a.. way.. that makes that happen

and that isn't what made TM1 megatron break. the breakage point was actually in his normal black plastic, the joint was poorly designed.

Good choices for original characters. For 'upgraded' characters, I still want TM Tarantulas and Megatron, with maybe Rattrap (since they can pull double-duty with that mold for Packrat. Who I'm STILL waiting for with Fractyl). It feels like a missed opportunity to skip the more iconic character designs.
>>10997188
>I'll say I've been tempted by some of those Transart Transmetals
I've got Rattrap, Tarantulas, TM2 Blackarachnia and the TM2 Arcee repaint. They're great and very show- accurate (though they all cheat in some way); eagerly awaiting their Dinobot II (and inevitable Rapticon repaint). My only issue with them is that they're MP scale and thus won't work with the rest of the recent official BW releases.

It still pisses me off that they gave Thundertron such a shitty off-model face on purpose for his first release knowing full-well they could force people to double-dip on the mold later with an accurate one. I mean, I should have seen it coming, but still - it's a shitty practice to announce an obscure character, release them without any indication that said character was going to get another toy any time soon, then drop the version people wanted from the start after everyone who was interested in the character has already bought the dud version, forcing them to spend more money 'upgrading'.

Gradient work should be done with matte paints and an airbrush; gloss paint should always be the last thing you apply (it functions as a sealant) and only used sparingly and only in a very, very thin layer. DO NOT try to mix glosses, or you'll end up with the clumpy-looking mess you've got there.

I disagree, it's a lot easier doing gradients with clear paint. You can let it just 'wash' and do fewer go-overs, and then you can clean it up later with water or alcohol (this one's using both). it worked a treat on the yellow tigatron, that one came out way better. (it also worked on this tigatron, evening out his shitty half-assed orange paint that Hasbro put on it. it actually ended up looking nice and pretty natural)
buuut there are a lot of blobby parts around the face, I'm STILL cleaning some of that up. but alcohol does still work for removing some even on the water-based stuff. I just really really should have held out for smoke-colored paint. i think it might exist. Oh well.
and when it comes to "I already put work into customizing this, but it is now obsolete, so I want to keep the extant pattern" you can't avoid clear paint. Next project will be painting my custom Dinobot in.... maybe clear green? I'm open to suggestions. but I feel like green on top of that brown will look pretty good and 'dinosaury'. and then maybe red over his metallic blue parts, make a nice poiple.. silver over the gold parts.. it should work.

I don't hate the face sculpt, but it's definitely not their finest job. The old Generations deluxe did a better job in that department. It's so odd to me how they swing and miss on some of this.

I think SS86 Bumblebee looks good and I like the head sculpt on it a lot, but I'm pretty sure it's less accurate than one of the smaller Buzzworthy Bumblebees we got recently. Why? Why do they struggle with Kup so much? Why does SS86 Hot Rod look great and Kingdom Rodimus look like shit? Why did Blurr answer the call? I can name a lot of great recent head sculpts too, but that just makes it stranger.

I did a SS86 Bee digibash for fun the other day and I'm hoping to use it as reference for some kind of custom job.

For my tastes it worked out in this case. I like SS86 Bee's head sculpt more than the vast majority of Bumblebees'. It's just odd given the purpose of SS86. Blurr's face sculpt killed my interest entirely.

It makes me all the more curious how SS86 Optimus will turn out.

Unopened for $60 is probably about as good as it will get now. There might be decent KOs out there, though the 3P thread would probably have more insight. The "premium" KO market is a dodgy mess that can produce toys better than the originals but can also churn out superficial winners with excellent paint and diecast parts but utterly shit tolerances, so I'd search around.

I think Rodimus looks great as a more grizzled version of him and so I use him as my "Marvel" Rodimus, I think he looks several degrees better in person than under any camera or studio lights. They capture angles and lines on his face that just aren't anywhere as pronounced as in person.

Maybe. I skipped it because of other issues I had with it. It was a disappointment to me in several respects, which is a shame because Rodimus is one of my favorite characters. Maybe we'll get a spruced up SS86 version. I doubt it, but anything's possible. I didn't think they'd do Springer or Ultra Magnus again.

I said fiddle with it. I'm sure he would be at least a Deluxe, which would afford him a bit more complex transformation. I'm sure they would fix his fin arm and good chance the shark head integrates with the chest and the wings would fold. I imagine them giving him the same sort of chomping arm, and I'm okay with that.

I find it sad that Robosen managed to do better at making a G1 tank Megatron than Hasbro did with the ER mold, given they were constrained by it needing to be able to automatically transform. It's not at all perfect, but it proves that Hasbro could have done much, much better than they actually did.

Personally I'm upset bout it cuz I love the Bay trilogy, but next year's mainly focused on 86 and AoE. I mean, I like G1 too in fairness, but... man, AoE really...

It may have been a gimmick but I could not disagree more with the rest of what you said. The areas of vac metal look very specifically chosen and Transmetal Primal is damn near perfect. Aside from the lack of ankle tilts and ball-joints in the necks he has just as much articulation as a modern figure. Hell you add just swivels on thighs and he has the same articulation as SS ROTB Primal.

But in all seriousness, I gotta disagree, I think the majority of Beast Wars figures, especially the main cast work perfectly fine. Hell most of the main cast could just be re-released with minor changes like headsculpts, added balljoints, and if possible scale tweaks.

Hell, they even tooled his legs backwards so the tapered bits are facing outward on the alt mode. It's just shameful really.

Finally finished Rescue Bots. That was a fun finale, I liked how it brought together all the random chaos-inducing inventions from one-off episodes into a big finale, where the Bots grappled with what really seemed like the closest thing they had to a Decepticon; lotta fun action scenes, Heatwave especially got to be the based action hero he was born to be lol. But yeah, if there's one thing this show always did well it was it's surprising sense of continuity, and the fun character writing and silly G1-style episodes of course. Prolly some of the most fun human characters too, lowkey; Chief Burns is so great lol.
I still think S1 is maybe my fave with how seriously it took the rescue operations, S2 and S3 def leaned more towards the more preposterous cartoony stuff but still kept the whole "saving people" part important lol - tho it became really funny how everybody was just a magnet for Murphy's Law, the most dramatic disaster would happen out of nowhere right when everything is going fine lmfao. S4's my second fave, keeping up the formula of the middle ones but also giving more attention to the characters and trying to wrap everything up in a nice bow, having some nice emotional weight. Also the more serious or grounded eps never totally went away, but they came back into focus a little bit in S4, too. Overall solid and fun show, really hope these lads show up in something written more for older viewers/readers someday, cuz they're great.

Tried out Beast Machines' first ep too, I shouted "SHUT UP" way louder than needed when they referenced the Apple commercial, lmfao. This is so of-the-time already, I kinda love it. Car Robots was very Y2K in the optimistic high-energy way a lotta anime and video games were, Beast Machines is extremely Y2K in the way that brought us The Matrix: dystopian scifi with spiritualism and "breaking the system". I always loved how TF adapted to the tropes of the time, it's what keeps it fun for me lol. Makes for great timecapsules.

I just got back from the 40th event, man that was shit lol. Rewatching the cartoon did get me thinking,since we're getting a new updated Soundwave, were Optimus and Megatron or anyone else confirmed or rumoured to be getting the update treatment too? Seeing again how dynamic G1 Megatron was is making me want a more sleek mainline figure of him.

Who knows. I don't like them much as movies, but I like some of the designs and I'd like to have a good movie Optimus just for the sake of it. The Studio Series versions just miss as much as they hit, and the changes made to the transformation framework just seem odd. Sure, Battle Blades was a somewhat complex voyager even back in 2010, but even much simpler toys shared a lot of those beats that the SS versions just dismiss entirely. I understand the Bay fatigue that a lot of people feel though.

The AOE/TLK designs suck ass, but I'm sort of curious to see how they handle them.

The truck also has jet thrusters, so it keeps with that I guess. I'm hoping to see this mold get redeco'd into something else (I'm always game for a white Ultra Magnus) but I can never predict what Hasbro will pimp out these days. They didn't even really churn out ER Optimus redecos the way I thought they would.

it's pretty interesting to note... the actual toy ended up with a blue piece shaped exactly like that concept art's chest window, and it pops open at the same point that the window would have.
I'm betting they weren't planning on making the chest window have a spring loaded hinge, and when that decision was made they changed it around a little and his chest became his back.
Not to mention in the concept art, his nacelles have to move from his armpit to his shoulderblades and that's quite tricky.

i thin his legs have turned into wings a few times. at least one of the movies
but yeah the tricky part here is... you want him to have decent thicknesses for his arms and legs, but both arms and legs need to fuse together to form... a pretty damn narrow piece of a gun. guns are narrow. it was just a bad idea.
a better idea would be if the handle and rear barrel area split not longwise but sidewise. so one leg is the front of the grip, one leg is the back.

here's the other issue
megatron's robot mode design, cheaty as it may be, does clearly have parts from the walther on it. the barrel, the area behind the barrel, the legs look like the grip... so it'd be hard to change it so that those parts are not... those parts.
at best I think you'd have the handle split apart into dinky thin legs, then... slide some meat over there. unfold some panels. something.

I watched the first ten eps and it was an absolute slog except for 2 eps
The soundwave ep and the seeker fight ep
It's just low tier. They had an entire episode where arcee was a crazed, incompetent boot camp drill instructor.

It was originally intended to turn into the robot mode we got in the final movie. For some reason they swapped it out for the made-up jet we see in the film (despite the fact that his robot mode still has dragon kibble and a flamethrower visible on it) and turned the model that was intended for him into the Autobot combiner Dragonstorm. The thrusters are where they are because that's how they worked with the planned transformation.
>It's kinda stupid giving a machine broken wings and a jetpack. Do you think in the timeline they went with this concept it evolved into a Valstrax-like thing
It's in the final movie - they just tacked two extra heads on it and passed it off as a new character.

As I understand it, they thought 'tattered' wings looked evil, and since this guy was supposed to be a good guy and this was happening at the last possible second, they patched them up with no thought about how that would actually work from a transformation standpoint; considering the design was intended to be a whole different character to begin with, HOW the thing was going to work as a combiner now wasn't really something that was thought out (which is why all of Dragonstorm's toys are utter shit).

Dragonstorm's toy was the one that split into two bots (instead of 12 like in the movie). Steelbane was one of the nameless knights (he's actually the dude that beats the crap out of Prime and almost executes him in the final film before Marky Mark steps in and begs for him to be spared), and we only saw him actually transform in a scene that was cut from the final film (where he kills Nautica AKA the submarine). Presumably, all 12 knights became wyvern-style dragons individually, and combined into the hydra-style dragon when together, but we never get to see their individual transformations in the film and only the combined form...which, again, only exists because they didn't want to waste the unused model they made for Megatron.
But getting back to my original statement, I'd like to see them make a version of TLK Megs that actually has his intended dragon transformation somewhere down the line, just for the hell of it.

Two. We got two dragon guys who turn into one while also intended to be among the twelve that make up the first guy. Poor Skullitron (the old dude who was rusting away and who got his ass lit up by marines before the misunderstanding was sorted out, though he presumably survived) shares Steelbane's alt mode and is also supposed to be a combiner component for Dragonstorm.

Two remolds, counting Crimsonflame (the new one you brought up earlier that turns into a Long Dragon for the Chinese New Year). It's not too shocking considering both characters had big scenes in the movie (Skullitron's was short but probably one of the few memorable moments of the film, while Steelbane was supposed to have two and only got his second scene kept in the final film). It's also just a fun mold in general, though the original Steelbane version is notoriously floppy (The Skullitron rerelease fixes a lot of the floppiness but still has an unpleasant gap on the dragon's back, while Crimsonflame is virtually flawless except for the feet you mentioned before).

Sidenote is it controversial to say I think I maybe like Blackarachnia in BM more than any other show so far? I like how she's just being treated like any other normal member of the team here, whereas in BW it was very much always centered around her being "le bad girl" lol. I also like her in TFA, but I've admittedly always felt disappointed she never became a good guy there (or at least had her villain arc completed fully...)
Here tho, she gets to have some pretty casual and regular banter n teamwork with everyone else, it's pretty nice c:

Do it like Toyworld Hegemon or Maketoys Despotron did, rotate the waist 90 degrees and plug the legs together front-to-back instead of side-by-side. Much easier than the MP36 panel origami and the Toyworld is already basically Voyager+/leader in terms of budget/complexity, though it does show its age quite badly these days.

The ultimate goal would be playable transformers in a sandbox environment to relive the glory of team deathmatch days, since theres no other real options. Apparently theres a minecraft mod with playable optimus+whatever, but thats minecraft and the bots are no bigger than actual players. There is also a UT2004 mod called robostorm but that's jank as hell and doesn't use any actual licensed characters (although the tank in that looks close to armada megatron).
As janky as source and lua code are gmod just has the most potential, plus a lot of the models are already ported. As for model swapping, I have no idea what models you'd have to use without it looking janky. The best thing I would guess would to be just use the animation files the original games use and figure out how to move them onto the characters, after all if Senator Armstrong and Vergil can be ported in with their animations intact as Nextbots I would assume the same for games on Unreal and the rotf engine. Although the hardest part to me would seem to be attaching weapons to each NPC, if one isn't going to make an entire custom weapon system for it in the first place.

I recall at least two Transformers mods in the game, once of which I used myself. I think there was also one from Fiskmods or whevever that relied on the armor system, and used sounds from WFC.

Or, alternatively, you make the back leg fold out into the stock.

But I think if they made a jet mode where there was a nosecone instead of a gun barrel, his canon splits in two and folds down into jet engines, and his legs do splits to make wings, you'd have something that resembles him pretty close in both modes and keeps his transformation scheme.

If you've ever handled the original toy it's more or less everything you would have wanted it to do. It's genuinely my toy of the year I think, like the idea of the original G1 molds with modern articulation is such a novel idea compared to the endless fixation on cartoon accuracy every other line goes for.

I do also think it's funny how many people were surprised how small the original G1 Optimus was when Missing Link was their first experience with it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, missing link is a novelty. You're getting exactly what it looks like; an original G1 optimus with above average posing (for CHUG, anyway) and a slightly more detailed transformation.
It's not an amazing figure nor do I find it's really worth the price, but it does what it sets out to do perfectly.

Probably, but a lot of her in BW towards the end did have her as a proper Maximal, just her interactions still mainly consisted of someone snarking if she's fully trustworthy (usually Rattrap), followed by her doing the "nobody understands me" routine, etc etc. Also the relationship drama between Silverbolt and Cheetor, that was a bit gay and I coulda done without it lol.
>>10999661
>>10999916
Yea I'm not seeing much to complain about here beyond the horrifying designs (Nightscream def would've given me nightmares, had I watched well into middle school probably); for as much as the writers were encouraged not to watch BW, the characters work surprisingly pretty well still. I guess Rhinox is kinda egregious, but at least he has the "not in his right mind" excuse going, and he repented at the end, tho the situation is still tragic (which's the point). Also that one episode where they were total cunts to Rattrap for no reason, but it doesn't get brought up again afaik. But most everyone else can believably be seen the same characters as BW, just more jaded or on edge, yeah.
I'll also admit in addition to BA, tho he only just got brought back, I'm enjoying Silverbolt too. He was fine in BW, p fun, but I'll also admit I had a lovehate relationship with him bc he was just too much for me lmao. He was VERY corny, but though I'm also very much rolling my eyes at how brooding he is now, I appreciate that they tried subverting his character, exploring him as more than a one-note gag. I think that's neat, or at least believe the writers' hearts were in the right place.

Fair, might need to rewatch BW sometime anywho (I saw it for the first time early last year or so, so I'm workin offa those memories). I've read and seen all of Marvel n Sunbow since then too, so it would be neat to examine how BW grabbed from either, desu.

Aren't all Transformers? The build quality is solid, the transformation is simple and appealing, and both modes look great. How many figures check all those boxes? You're right in the sense that anyone that wanted a G1 Optimus had ample opportunity by now, but still as an overall toy it's better than most.

The entire reason swords are used against armor in the first place is because metal with an edge and force behind it cleaves it in two, even if the material it's hitting is similarly hard.

Not to mention, not all TF bodies are all metal. Glass over optics, soundwave's giant chest, autobot tires, there's a lot of vulnerable parts to have a sword as one of your weapons, just not to rely on it exclusively.

swords are also not typically used against glass. but okay, tires, yes. could slash your tires..
I would love to see a transformer with a gunlance or gunaxe or something, so he jams a really thick, HEAVY blade into a vulnerable area, then fires a shot either into the now-weakened part of the armor, or ideally, through the hole that the blade just cut if it managed to.

The best way I can describe it is, you know how the original G1 figure couldn't hold his gun properly because the grip is not designed to fit into his hand so it has to be angled to the side, and it's such a minor thing, but you still wish it all worked a little bit better? Missing link does that, it's the G1 toy and it works better.

just saying, it's a robot. that's not gonna do much if it's not a lasery sword or a special nanotech sword or something.
i actually do wonder now, like, humans are just barely strong enough to break our own bones, if we really try.. are transformers strong enough to break their own armor? then they'd be able to break each other's a lot more believably.

the rotors add a lot of complexity and you want to put in twice as many.
plus just as a jet really needs to be flat (and a lot of transformers fail), a copter needs to be slender, at least in back.

I think it really just depends on the plastic quality, like the motormaster was part of those cheap ko sets and every figure that would have some form of metallic plastic was super marbled, I’m gonna try to dye a few ko micromasters and maybe nose cone and see how they turn out, I think in comparison some they’re plastic colors are more solid the results might be better

Been working on making a 3D printable Polynian style, non-transforming but nicely poseable version of Armada Sureshock (to scale with Figmas and the like). Printing now, gonna take best part of 12 hours as my figure resin needs a lot of exposure and those arm kibble bits are pretty big. This screenshot isn't terribly flattering, now that I think about it. Anyway, gonna joint her with Hobby Base joints. If this works I might do Grindor and High Wire too.

I print the parts here in resin. Then I assemble her with pre-made joints made by Hobby Base (which are available on sprues for pretty cheap off Hobby Search and the like), which are essentially Figma/Revoltech styled joints. I've tried using printed resin joints and it's never ended well and I don't have an FDM printer, but the joints are plentiful and affordable.

I'd highly recommend Artisans of Vaul on YouTube. His stuff is for making wargaming miniatures primarily but his advice is applicable to just about anything 3D printing related.

To be honest this isn't much worse than some of the other Bumblebee alt modes, if at all. Ironhide/Ratchet and Sunstreaker come out pretty good, but the Seekers have some strange dangling robot mass in jet mode, Brawn is an overpriced shrug, Shockwave is pretty lazy, and so on. That's not a defense of this tank at all but I think the only real difference is the amount of greebles and single color obscure the already borderline shape of the tank. It's par for the course otherwise.

radical, I have some of those joints (having previously used them to limited success for Antagony's shitty ant legs) and i'm going to do it a bit differently this time for inferno. I'm thinking hinge joints are best for the parts of the ant legs that are only meant to hinge, the ball joints gave them far too little range. mainly good for swiveling.

I wonder.. how much of a transformer's body changes when he scans a new altmode? in the bay movies, it's a fuckton, but what about beast wars.. Tigatron ends up looking like a more buff cheetor, is that something the altmode-scanner came up with and therefore it did something similar for two different cats? or would Tigatron's robot parts have been the same no matter what he scanned, and he'd just be wearing a different animal's head on his chest

The closer to being a key archetype, the less your body changes. For example if you are called Optimus Prime, you will have windshield pecs and grill abs even if the vehicle you scanned doesn't have those.

Already bought Tasmania Kid back in January and love him, just bought SL Galvatron and BM Cheetor on a small discount and I adore them too. Cheetor's got really fun proportions to just pose him around in, and even without his electronics n gimmicks, Galvatron just feels like he's SO kit'd out with all that weaponry - he still just has so much fiddlability. Real chunky mf, for someone barely larger than a Lego minifig
