Tomorrow is it, the 40th anniversary of the first episode of The Transformers
Given we'll be getting a bunch of news, I'm gonna start this thread a little early so all the new pics don't get lost in the autosaging thread.

He's not.
People are just retarded and dont realize he's a straight homage to the original Pretender.

If you have the g1 pretender and the new one and put them side by side, you can see exactly what they went for. Its a love letter to the og fig.

They made a couple compromises because the original plan was for his skull and armor to be removable, but they changed at the last minute so he's a little wonky

He's also astheticslly off compared to Iguanus and Bomburst. The Core classes made the robot mode almost entirely pretender based, even if it compromised the vehicle a bit and kept a simple transformation. Skullgrins robot mode has pretender and robot parts mixed in, fucked up the tank profile, changed the transformation for the worse and added rubbery bits.

I don't evwn know how they fucked up ao hard.

I'm pretty sure, given the early listings, the core classes were just gonna be that, while the deluxe + were supposed to be able to mix and match armor.
So different design philosophy.

I think they also said on stream once that core is usually all designed by the same person

What >>11157869 said and also I'm pretty bothered by the lack of lower jaw on the skull head. It's a me problem because I know they're trying to mimic the toy (which did have an unpainted jaw molded into the chest), but he doesn't feel like a good enough stand-in for Dauros for me. I really would have preferred him to be a core class like his buddies too.

Tidal Wave isn't worth it either, the knee issue just ruins him and it has some weird choices. For reference, the one I bought was broken in package:

-connection for the arms is small and feels fragile, the port on the arm is made of two pieces and just turning the arm causes those two pieces to start twisting unnaturally, I can see those bits breaking in the future.
-The exposed back, plus not allowing the head to fold in, even if you ignore the boat storage.
-Leg connection to the thigh is completely friction based, it doesn't even have a spring loaded panel to help secure it or pegs on the inside, jusr a small bump that will start warping or rubbing off with each transformation.

Honestly, the engineering on this toy is kind og ass. I know they can do better, so I don't understand why it's so halfassed.

Scorponok's thigh ratchets are soft and just turning them will start shredding them since the ratchet tooth is made of harder plastic.

Going to add some more info:

-T30 Metto didn't have any major breakage issue, but most problems were growing pains from it being the first Titan. I do feel the left arm should have had a second connection to prevent it from sagging, I fear the weight will cause it to break at some point.
-Fortress main problem is the larger head connection. The way the head connect is sturdy, but the connection bits would deform a bit after repeated transformations (Sporponok fixex this by making the neck port a softer, but durable enough plastic to allow for head-on, without the FM issues.
-Tripticon had the hip and tail issues, both were fixable/avoidable but not ideal.
-Omega had some paint rubbing issues with the threads when the tank is equipped to the body. The claws using clear plastic was also a mistake, due to all the stress they endure due to ratchets and the rocket mode. You also need to be careful of the hips, you might put too much stress on them if you turn them while grabbing the thigh, just grab the hip and turn it.
-No idea is the thigh swivel issue is also on black zarak, but I assume it is. The only major problem would be the painted head, it's recommended you remove the black plate behind the head since that could cause paint chipping (I believe Takara warns you of that with their release).
-Legacy Metro has the shoulder issue where they fucked up the distance between the shoulder parts and the inner joint. Fixable, but not doing it in time will shred the joint.
-No idea in Nemesis, didn't buy it. The rubber nose was stupid.
-Ark was fine, but some joints felt too tight, fixable but annoying due to manu parts being layered.

Not sure if it's a common issue, I only cracked open that leg because it felt weird when turning. I played a lot with that Sporponok on the first week I got it.

In any case, I'm not surprised if this is a common issue and most people don't report it, many transformers fans don't open their figure up or just plop them straight to a display. Remember the Legacy Metroplex issue? I'm the only person who brought it up, I never saw other sites talking about it and it was a widespread issue(apparently later copies fix that, but I never saw one).

It is a storage object with a thick wood frame, 2 glass doors that swing open about 115 degrees, has several shelves that are made of glass, has lights at the top installed which the cord goes through a hole in the top, is about 7 feet tall, has a mirror on the back the size of the cabinet itself, and has the detailing higher than the top, which makes it just horrible for trapping dust and dead insects.

Same, along with the Comic 2-pack. He seems to be a pretty solid figure from what I've heard.
I was hoping to pick him up during black friday sales but idk if he'd stick around that long, ended up making use of a minor TF day sale.
A bit too expensive than I'd like still, but atleast I secured him.

The instructions for the turret/back panel are wrong right? It depicts the tab sitting in the topmost hole but it always overshoots it into the middle/flight stand hole?
But then it leaves a big enough gap that you can spot the chin in vehicle mode. Tarn's isn't so noticeable but on Bludgeon its obvious.

You know, this talk about rubber reminded me of something. I still own Cybertron Megatron and Vector Prime. Their rubbery bits are still fine almost 20 years later, and the titanium optimus ion blaster is still fine adter alll these years. Those bits are stiffer but still fine and the rubber plastic from back then didn't have any melting issues so why the hell aren't they using this for everything.

The backpacks partsform (and can thus be little train buddies if you want, Seizan's extra guns can be slapped on his leftovers), leaving nicely articulated robots once you get past the train kibble and odd shoulder joints. Suiken's backpack is a little less secure than Seizan's.

Anons I need your opinions. Earthrise or Coronation starscream? my research shows they're effectively identical toys bar paint applications with coronation lacking stripes on his vertical stabilizers/tailfins and having bigger decepticon badges. (plus all his accessories)
The lack of tail stripes sort of bugs me but scream in his 30 seconds of glory is kinda funny.
The kicker being I can still get coronation here NIB for a slightly less eye watering fee than earthrise, but both seem to hover around 35 for second-hand on ebay.

Thank you transformer anons, seems coronation is my best bet then for a decent scream with extra bits. I take it a newer version would be years out given hasbro's recent track record even if they announced it tomorrow? feels like forever between starwars releases though I hear GI joe anons had it pretty good for a while recently.

The black/purple/blue colorscheme he gets in Lost Light has nothing to do with Decepticons and he's co-captain with Megs long before he gets it

Cyclonus is neither Autobot or Decepticon in IDW since he fucked off with Nova Prime long before either side was formed

He's a zealous nut, but he's not a Decepticon

Getaway is just a retard in IDW

Starscream stays a Decepticon pretty much to the end (asides from the whole renouncing bots/cons to appease to NAILs thing), Skywarp joins GI Joe after they fix him after he was used by Galvatron solely as a teleport hub for like a whole year, and Thundercracker just goes solo

You didn't even mention the actual faction swap in IDW where Brainstorm was a Decepticon double agent (mostly just to get Con tech)

Thank you all.
It's a bit of a headscratcher that the toys aren't out at the same time as the movie.
>studio series deluxe class
It seems that right now only a single Optimus and Megatron are out. Not a peep of an Elita toy.

Honestly they've got an opportunity here, because the four main cast of the movies get two different forms, with Megs and Optimus getting three forms!
So okay their first forms can't transform, but if they wanted to Hasbro could have gotten me to buy two Optimus..ses? and two Megatron..ii? if they had separate toys for each of their forms.

>poorly stocked at retail
I have unfortunately noticed that. There's just less and less Transformer toys on the aisles these days. I know I can just buy them online but there's something lost from searching through a rack of them, trying to find the perfect one I want.

I've actually got an old toy in my hands right now. I just felt like transforming a figure back and forth in my hands after the movie.

The Power Flip Optimus Prime looks interesting.
I'm not a fan how his roof is a piece that detaches, and his vehicle mode isn't great. But he can transform not only between vehicle and robot mode, but also from Orion Pax to Optimus Prime. And that is pretty sweet.

For upcoming, I think I'll say MDLX One Prime.

The current one is disappointing. And if it sees release, Core Dinobot.
And for some wishlisting, Energon Scorponok.

Did a bit of looking for what Transformers One toys are actually available now, not counting store exclusives or gimmick ones like the one-step or power flip ones.
What I could find was:
-Prime Changer Alpha Trion
-Prime Changer Sentinel Prime
-Prime Changer Bumblebee
-Prime Change Optimus Prime
-Studio Series Deluxe Optimus Prime
And that's it.

No Megatron, no Elita, no Airachnid, no Darkwing, just those five.
I suppose it's better than nothing, I know it's hard to coordinate a movie and a toyline to release at the same time, but still.

The budget issues due to the tanker needing to be painted were only part of the issue. Sam said he thought the colors on and around the fake windows on Scourge's chest were supposed to match the corresponding area in his truck mode, even though that wasn't the case with the original toy. It was basically a designer going, "I'm going to fix what I think the original toy should have been," and then screwing it up because it didn't need to be "fixed."

Here's where he talked about it on Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJ_6pIu02K

Fortunately, it's a pretty lackluster mold to begin with, so I didn't mind passing on it due to the inaccurate colors.

The whole thing with rubber wheels is so interesting to me, 'cause I remember about 10 or 15 years back hearing a lot fans say they wished more toys had rubber tires (kinda like MP figures) instead of plastic ones. But now they seem to melt paint or certain types of plastic or something? Is it that the type of rubber being used is of particularly poor quality? Or simply that the designs don't give enough clearance for the tires so they have more contact with plastic/painted parts than rubber tires did on vintage toys?

Apparently, they changed the material. Older rubber seemed to harden, then crack. As long as it wasn't under a ton of stress, it could easily last a decade or longer, I still have 2000's transformers with rubber and its held up well enough.

At some point during the late 2000's or early 2010's, they swapped it for a different type that isn't as prone to cracking, but seems to leak plastizicer, which then causes other plastics to melt (even being near it will weaken the plastic enough that cracks can form, this was seen with the Decepticon HM trio in TR).

Pulse had the Powerlinx Hot Shot on deep discount, was desperate for microns so I bought it just for Jolt and the blast effects.
Jolt is literally perfect, he's my beautiful baby boy. Love him.
I hate this Legacy Armada Hot Shot mold even more in-hand than in pictures. Even merely holding him feels bad. The biggest/chunkiest parts of his body, the ones you would naturally grasp when picking him up (the legs and backpack), are so fucking hollow and thin, and both with such obnoxiously large gaps, not to mention they're so flimsy and don't firmly peg into place, just... Arrgghhh. I'm selling this fucker immediately, I'm glad I only payed $20 shipped.
We need good new molds Armada Hot Shot and Starscream in the next three years.

Still have my Shockblast, Scorponok, Snowcat and Rodimus and probably a few Signal Flares floating around.

I really hope any new Energon representation will be good or at the very least half decent.

Landmine and Demolishor are my never ever wishes for an update.
Landmine's vehicle mode is too cool for them not to botch it in an updated figure and Demolishor will most likely come in his Armada iteration, if at all.

they rarely do titan repaints but I'd love if they did that Omega Supreme in G1 colors like that one old repaint. Probably wouldn't though but it would be cool.

Yes I know there's already an accurate Omega Supreme but I like the novelty (and honestly I prefer the design of that one anyway)

Pre-cog Orion does not use a gun the entire movie.
After he gets his cog and learns to transform, he gets blasters in his front bumper that he uses. In robot mode, he uses guns he picked up on the battlefield to fight, that he tosses afterwards.

This studio series toy is movie accurate in that regard. No gun, it instead comes both with the bumper guns and the axe.
Between the four main cast, Orion is easily the least violent of them. Even Bumblebee gets more combat than he does.

>So okay their first forms can't transform, but if they wanted to Hasbro could have gotten me to buy two Optimus..ses? and two Megatron..ii? if they had separate toys for each of their forms.
If SS86 Megatron can have a completely different alt mode then what he had in the movie then I see no problem as to why the cogless versions of Orion Pax and D-16 can’t also have some alt modes that they make by doing goofy yoga poses to justify putting them in Studio Series. If Hasbro really saw the money in it, I’m sure they’d get around to doing them at some point.

You couldnt rig the franchise to bomb better than this even if with an israeli pager. GI Joe is never gonna make it in Hollywood, period. They tried, it was bad. They tried 2 more times. I didnt see Snake Eyes or whatever, but that just makes me like everybody else. RoTBs attempt at baiting athe Hasbro Cinematic Universe was also laughable and at the end of a dog shit movie. Only Skybound seems to he doing it well so far, but they are taking their time and who knows how it'll end up.

Okay but considering the Bayverse movies have been doing worse and worse numbers it will be very funny to see them put out a GI Joe movie (because let's face it, that's what this is going to be. These movies love their humanshit) and have it make even less money. Joe will really be toast after like 4 bombs.

Also everybody I've seen talk about it hated Snakeyes. The Joefags hated it because it was completely wrong and not anything remotely like what they wanted, and everybody else was just confused by it.

Transformers' Live Action movies seem to be tanking themselves well enough if RoTB was any indication of the direction, so we don't need Joe's help.

>The next live-action movie will be a crossover. Where it will be particularly affected is the fact that we now know what these robots are capable of emotionally in a way. So we're going to have to figure out how to create that room, that we can afford that, and create a story that you can take more advantage of that. So one of the things that I'm particularly interested in doing, and we're still in the development phase, so nothing is by any means written in stone, but I think we need to do more now from the robot point of view in the live-action because that's the only way you're really going to get inside them."

>"Instead of them reacting to humans or reacting to the human plot, what is their drive, has to be part of that story now. So it's going to be complicated because now the hardest thing about a lot of franchise movies is how many characters there are, and the more characters you try to manage, the harder it is to make a bunch of really good ones. You kind of got to keep going, keep it smaller, keep it smaller. So we'll be in that process for a while where we'll start with a bunch of Joes and a bunch of Transformers and I'll say, regular humans, and then you're going to do this. That's kind of where we are right now, is trying to put the larger thing in place. The trick in this one, like we were talking about here, in trying to find that tone and balance is like, 'Well, how much of the Joes do you want? And how much of the Transformers do you want?'"

I know it's already been done as a series of remolds with new heads, but I reallllly want to see cybertronian versions of the entire beast wars cast. Nice ones, that suit them, and that have cybertronian modes but not TOO abstract. something that looks g1ish but 400 years in the future. And something that kinda fits how they looked in the show, e.g. scorponok should, if he doesn't already turn into 'a scorponok', at least turn into a steam shovel or something so that can be his tail. And his robot mode should still have big giant hand units.

So I dug out my Leader-1 to go with Legacy Armada Megatron but his arms and legs turned into a floppy piece of shit over the last 20ish years. Is there any way to tighten the pins on him without disassembling him?

>modern software makes it a lot easier, you can visualize past frames on the monitor as you position the camera,
My camera actually has a built in feature that does that, overlays the most recent photo on the display so you can see what microadjustments need to be made for the next frame.
I just need to get one of those weighted stands or make one myself so I can articulate the figures without the whole figure moving out of position, that and clear a dedicated space for it.
Its how I made pic related but as you can see, Optimus was moving out of position.

>>11160688
Animist is great, I think he actually sells his own stands specifically for stop motion but its also something you can just create yourself if you really want to.

>>11160667

Over here only one place really acknowledged TF day with a sale and it was only 10% off.

Yeah weighted stands are just too useful for something like stop motion. A regular stand can help keep the figure in place but won't support the weight of an entire figure in a mid-air position or even if they're just in an off-balance position, not like a weighted stand can.
Something like pic related, a cast iron based soldering iron stand would be fairly useful for it.

It does require time-consuming effort to edit it out later, but its how you can get some real fluid and lifelike movement out of seemingly rigid toys.

Well, to go back to the other anon's example I'll post a links to a couple Animist videos in which he shows the "Making of" process.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXoBSNmMTjU

After he shows off the figures, you can see he uses an armature to support the weight of the Majin Buu figure while in mid air, and later when he slams into the Spider Man figure.
This one's considerably larger than the stand that I posted but thats because he's made his own brand of stands for stop motion.
He then goes on to show the editing process where he edits out the armature in post, he pretty much greenscreens it out by blending a clear picture without the stand over the parts that show the stand.
Its the kinda process that's used in claymation movies and high quality stop motion, hence why you'd only see it in behind-the-scenes type stuff.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xouq3AQ4_NI&t

This one better shows the stand, in some shots you can even see he has his own Youtube logo on the stand.

Whichever is water-based and cheapest for you, like that one magic formulation of Pledge Future floor polish that was only available in NA for example. You want to get them cheap because these coatings are sacrificial when used for tightening joints. Polyurethane coatings work too. Cans like pic can last forever but you'll need to thin it yourself, around 1 coat:2 water.

the 2 same hands really suck but I don't mind the pale blue limbs instead of the metallic paint. It looks somewhat off to me and it'd scratch off.
The pale blue accents the rest of the figure nicely actually.

The only hope is that Hasbro would give Starscream the same treatment as Hot Shot and actually pack in his minicon but who knows when that would happen, and idk if I want to be stuck in the middle waiting for it to happen while the exclusive's price shoots up.

I wish we'd get deluxe or even voyager sized Citybots to play with on your desk (though with Core going away now there'd be no small figures for them to interact with.) I really like that Dr.Wu Trypticon

I have the Trypticon on my shelf fighting that little Omega Supreme made out of one of the Diaclone Power Suits that some 3P company made. I forget what the weaponizer base guys were called but they were pretty fun too, if not very well designed or varied.

It's just more fun to me to have little micro machines style bases than it is to have giant ones I have to drag out of storage and make space for when I want to play with them. Most of my Titans I haven't really messed with since I got them because they're such a pain in the ass.

Flame could've really benefitted from some darker paint apps in his vehicle mode, a lot of the detail just gets lost in his bright colours.
A shame since they work a lot better for his robot mode.

The mould's are great for robot mode but I agree the vehicle modes just aren't what they should be.
Xaaron being the worst offender, Flame needing more paint to show off his vehicle mode detail and Straxus being the best at just being a big cannon(that can fly?).

Bumblebee might be a close second to this guy. I think dragon Megatron is my favorite figure I’ve got all year. He is so otherworldly and different from anything else in my collection. He’s so monstrous and grotesque compared to the average transformer. He’s about as metal as it gets. Between not caring about the character in the cartoon and the fact that he has been universally shit on in reviews and on TFW I wasn’t expecting anything, but his looks kept growing on me. What an awesome figure. I guess I should thank the terminally negative complainers because that’s probably how I ended up with this guy for $5

Yeah but we're not getting a Titan combiner again and we're not getting six dedicated deluxes so a Commander is pretty much the only chance. I'm willing to accept that for a guy I like. Besides, Monstructor was always small and I'm fine with having something I can play with reasonably instead of something huge. Magmatron was a great size and felt about as big as I'd like Transformers to be.

honestly his only problem is torso a bit too short and legs too long, in both modes.. and the tail being too short. and the base of the neck (robo shoulder) looking awkward
beyond that he's great especially by the nonexistent modern standards.

well i'm also not as big a fan of the fire effect being so club-shaped, like it should be more wavy and gassy..

I am not a Hasbro employee so I don't care. All I am saying is I WANT Monstructor and if they were going to make him he, unlike the other combiners, is justifiably able to fit into a Commander slot like Magmatron did.

This is in comparison to Abominus and even worse, poor Computron, both of whom they fucked up royally in Combiner Wars. Considering it's currently taking a year to get out each combiner and Bruticus and Defensor would be next in line, do you really think they'll continue the current paradigm of releases, both in size classes AND line makeup, until 2028 in order to complete the set? Especially when we've seen the line shift focus entirely after a few years - we've had 3 years of no Warden and things are dramatically different now, and Warden is likely to change pace completely after the last of the current team's products are out the door. I just do not believe that we will get 4 Deluxes and 1 Commander in their current form in 2027 and 2028.

Moreover, I don't think they'll do two of them in the same year either. MAYBE Bruticus and Defensor could be justified but that's eight original Deluxe molds and 2 Commanders in the line and at that point we're doing Combiner Wars 2.

>>11161848
Currently all Commander Optimuses have backwards heels and you have to knock out a pin to swap them. We don't know if future waves will fix this. Hope you have a way to knock out pins I guess.

Sorry, my numbers are wrong, because we aren't getting Superion this year and Menasor was last year. So if Superion is 2025's combiner and they do one each year, that's 2029, very nearly a decade of maintaining continuity in the line.

The approach to Menasor was so different from CW that it's hard to tell what lessons they learned
I don't think anyone cares enough about the individual aerialbots to mad if they mess them up. Within reason of course.
Feels safe to say either Brawl or Blast Off are getting fucked though.
My gut is telling me Blast Off won't be an aerialbot repaint but will be a retool

Saw Transformers One. There's a lot of cool worldbuilding elements in it. I really like some of the Cybertron stuff, though not a fan of the surface. The way trains and roads work is really cool and it'd be cool if we got to see Astrotrain doing that sometime. I really want a One Dreadwind toy, but it has the worst portrayal of Shockwave I've ever seen. Generally it portrays some characters really weird, like why is Arcee a miner? Why are Swindle and Jetsorm racers? And why is Chromia a fucking asshole? Starscream is actually pretty badass. I wish they'd done the "Transform and Rise Up" thing for the Decepticons from Animated instead of just "Rise Up."

So I got name autism and I want to incorporate the Armada cons into the rest of the Decepticon ranks with new names as their own squad. So far the plan is to just pull from existing names and repurpose them
>Demolishor Sideways and Tidal Wave stay the same
>Megatron > Bombshock (both are green tanks)
>Starscream > Redwing (Never grabbed the Siege one so the space is still open, plus they pretty much have the same colorscheme)
>Cyclonus > Windburn (Dude's a blue helicopter with brown blades, and the name is cool)
>Wheeljack > Rage (Takes it from both obscure Euro G2 and a shortening of his Japanese name Rampage)
>Thrust > Skyhopper (Grey/Green jet with a kinda similar shape)

If this shit sounds familiar yeah I've posted about this like a year ago, but I'm finally giving it more thought now that I ordered Cyclonus/Demolishor and we got a Wheeljack on the way.

The nosecone.

There are 2 round bumps supposed to lock the jet nosecone in place, but they don't. The reason is the female part of the equation are not a single spot dip but a slide (red circle). This gives room for the nosecone to move around. I don't know why it is designed like this.

The instruction didn't say, but I think starsaber is supposed to be tabbed under the nose to prevent the nosecone from dipping - but

This might be a good idea if not for the fact the nosecone also flips up.
The chest part (in green) seems to be the thing supposed to lock the nosecone down in jet mode, but that thing doesn't lock to anything and also moves around. If that thing is stationary I doubt the problem wouldn't be this bad. But it is not and I think it get in the way of the head.

Also, do be careful when you push the shoulder cannons down. Both the cannons and the head are painted and the head will get in the way and scratch the paint if you did not clear the head position first

While I recognize all of the other color schemes, I don't remember a Megatron in those colors - I don't think he was in the Universe line like Primal was, so as far as I remember, the only T-Rex Megatron repaint was T-Wrecks. Did the guy who painted these just make that one up, or was there another Megatron that I'm unaware of?
