Yep. I don't even mind the combiner skeleton, but the execution is just awful. Using the G1 Cartoon head for Superion is baffling, it looked awful in the show and even worse here. I don't love the Menasor cartoon head either, but Superion just looks like a ko with how bad it is.

You do if you want him to actually look good, scrawny Superion with hollow legs and spindly arms is not much of a "super mode", it's literally just a skeleton.
Why is he a skeleton you ask? Well think about what your own skeleton does and why have it, and you'll have the answer to your question.

Not by much, a real combiner needs to combine with its components, not just wear them as armor.

>tfw picrelated Rattrap is with me for so many years
I would never think that he will be +THE+ transformer that will be my "Woody".
i kept him all the time with me and never left.
I moved to another country and left all my toys but i took him with me.
I don't know why. But he grew on me over years and now he just lives in my house like a rat - sitting here or there sometimes, switching places.

Anon do you have a transformer toy that is similar to my Rattrap "bro"-wise?
PS:
By the way it's still amazes me how COMPLICATED this toy is.

1) he has a gear in his neck that connects all the way to his tail. When you turn around his tail - his ears and his neck moves

2) his mouth opens

3) his tail has tons of points of articulation

4) his legs also have many points

5) his transformation is complicated

6) his plastic is amazing and he has transparent parts

7) lightpiping eyes

8) he looks like a cool mechanical rat on its own

What a great complicated toy...why they don't make them like that anymore?

Depth Charge was one of two toys I made sure survived through my parents divorce and through being forced to move twice. It's always been on display, and I'm glad to be able to have it on full display again.
There's also the Machine Wars Starscream my Grandma gave me when I was very young, which was rediscovered last year. That's the single most important transformer in my collection.

Your Beast Machines Rattrap looks to be in great nick, sounds like a fun toy.
The BM toys are wild, makes me wonder is it's worthwhile tracking some down.

Not white parts specifically, it's almost exclusively with "unpaintable" nylon parts
Whatever they're doing, they keep fucking up the plastic mix and many batches end up rapidly discoloring.
And I really have to emphasize that it's the nylon, used in areas like joints and transformation hinges for extra strength. A figure having white plastic doesn't mean it's going to suddenly turn yellow all over.

i'm seeing what looks like a flat plate in back that leads to.. nothing. shouldn't it lead to a big chunky cylinder that comprises the knee joint? i also dont see any ankle joint, though it's all black plastic so it might be hidden in the void. maybe the joint is INSIDE the foot? weird.
but I mean, there's a car cylinder plugged into a whatever blue thigh, and there's no visible joint so I don't get how it could work.

Cartoon accuracy; It's the same reason why Superion's head is fucked up. This is what happens when you try to translate a shittily-drawn cartoon model into 3D.

Let's be real here, the shin parts of Menasor were also supposed to be colored here, but not even the Pulse G1 toy style set pulled that off for some stupid reason. I mean, how hard is it to paint or mold those hatches to match Wild Rider's midnight green and Breakdown's blue?

The toy, in fact, did not look like that. They were actually composed out of the leg bots and therefore actually had colors and details, and the car bits and wheels were much more visible.
It's exclusively the cartoon that pasted the cars behind big, gray blocks to save on animation time. And it looks like dogshit.

It's not as if Combiner Wars was perfect, but it was much closer to it than whatever the fuck this and Legacy Menasor are. It shows how little playability and originality matters to nu-CHUG, which is MP for poor people now.
What I don't understand is why it's so hard for HasTak to find a middle ground, especially now that size classes aren't as strict as they were during Prime Wars. They could give each limb more attention but in a sensible way, not like Legacy Wildrider, but refuse to for some reason. They could use the room they didn't have on voyager class figures to use the commander/leader class torso members added room to look good and transform in a fun way, but they didn't.
What I liked about Scramble City style combiners was scrambling and using my imagination, but this shit is for people who buy a transformer, transform it once, and then abandon it in their less cluttered shelf for all eternity.

Even ignoring that image, it does have problems and they're all on Ginrai, not Super Ginrai:

-Lock mechanism meant to put the arm in the proper position stresses the hell out of the bicep.
-Smokestack tabs snapping off if not aligned properly, and/or not transforming it correctly. This one isn't too bad since they aren't that important since you can just align them properly and still get the super mode to work.
-Hinges connecting the front skirt to the pelvis can snap off.

I guess I would have come up with ideas as a kid, like different combinations give the combiner different powers, but I don't give a shit about that as an adult. Now I like transforming my toys and posing them, and legacy Menasor is fun in both regards instead of being a wonky mess.

At the end of the day you guys are so narrow-minded about how a combiner must work that you don't feel value in anything else, even if the new thing actually improves on several crucial points. You don't like it? That's fine, but this is getting old.

I like their original cartoon appearance where they were anti-gravity cars with incredible durability. They could do crazy airborne stunts on command, drive up cliffs with no issue, and ram through forests and buildings like there's nothing even there. They weren't just "the car decepticons", they were built for fucking shit up in alt mode.
An aspect of them that was of course, swiftly forgotten after one episode and abandoned in future iterations.

If I want a combiner that's a solid robot, a solid combiner, looks nice, and don't mind the half the vehicle mode of the torso being overalls for the combiner, I could go for the third party combiners but I don't like any of them.
I want something I can pose and play with, and it's a chore to do that when you have a literal pound of useless kibble to add in and take out every time.

After getting into collecting transformers in the last few months, I have come to find that this is not an enjoyable line. I love the toys, even with some of the worries and dread of QC issues and some plastic feeling a little dicey, but feeling like I have to buy if not pre-order at extortionate prices or risk never, ever having the chance to get a mainline store shelf release again. I don't know if it's their europe distribution or what, but I hate this feeling over what should be reasonably enough to obtain toys. Not to mention the absurd scalping and aftermarket prices.

Which is why I think Titan Class is probably likely for someone like Energon OP to keep everything in one package and keep him as big as the original toy. At least I hope so, I wouldn't want base Energon OP to be Voyager sized because that would be too small, make him SS86 OP height.
And get PCC along for the update as well since they're similar combiners using drones as limbs. I'm not a fan of consolidating or homogenizing everything, however making both Energon OP and PCC cross compatible would be fun.

Anyone else get Missing Link Bumblebee and/or Cliffracer?

I got mine in yesterday and I find the build quality on them seems a little off compared to how solid Prime is, mainly with the arms being really fiddly. I think I might have felt like I wasn't getting my money's worth if I paid full price for them (I noticed I had a fuckton of loyalty points with a shop and redeemed a discount code that basically made them over half-off for me)

They're pretty cute aside from that, I just hope Sunstreaker feels more like Prime did though and not like these.

Some consider Beast Wars G3, but then that brings into question if machine wars, BW2, Neo, beast machines and even RID 01 should be separate generations or all apart of a "G3 era". By that line of thinking UT would be G4, but that theory kinda falls apart for G5 when 07, classics, animated and WFC are so different.

I'm convinced that Beast Machines' earnings were more affected by the toyline doing shit like deluxe optimus, mega rattrap, supreme cheetor, basic megatron and tankor than the cartoon being weird and character assassinating half of the cast.

Essentially, BWII had humanity left Earth after angolmois was found and caused things to spiral out of control, nearly destroying the planet and, they left Artemis and Moon on the moon to watch over Earth The comics revealed that this was a combination of Angolmois and the Quintesssons tapping into that energy that lead to world wide catastrophes that culminated in the evacuation of everyone. BW II also had the legend of a Green Lion who also helped saved Earth in the past and they revealed this was the time displaced Lio Convoy.

Lio Convoy showing up in the past is pretty sad, since Neo implied he was stuck in some realm out of time and space, but then this confirms he actually had to wait millions of years until the events of Neo happened (he got flung to some point from before the events of the G1 series).

Lore doesnt really matter, it's moreso to do with the year and the current designers and trends present. Binaltech and classics isn't G1 just because it's in the G1 universe because it was manufactured in the 2000s and shares design elements with other toys of its era. Horse show G6 is in the G4 universe but will be released 16 years later with new designs which justifies it being a new gen.

No, its true. Like, Starscream's ghost is from the cartoon, but anytime we saw a G1 bot in flashbacks they used the Marvel colors. Meanwhile, they had vague plans for Tarantulas and the Predacon Council to be descendants of Jhiaxus from the Marvel G2 comic, but never got to add it.

It's so bizarre to think that, in 1999/2000, the 15th anniversary of the franchise, 4 years into a successful relaunch, if you wanted an "Optimus", this was the only one on the shelf.
Hasbro REALLY wanted Cheetor to be the face of the franchise. 15 years of unique package art for every main line release, broken so every package could have Cheetor's face.
I do like the blue on him though. But BM was SUCH a bizarre time overall.

I know its pure autism but the biggest hair in my ass is still that they made an MP figure in basically CHUG scale. I guess they want the figure to have wider appeal and not bother with making a proper CHUG PM Prime? To me aesthetically MPG Ginrai is incredible, it feels more accurate than both the KFC and FansHobby one, not to mention the cool accessories like the Chokon Lightning and the Headmaster Jrs figures that come with God Bomber, but it not being in scale will bother my autism for eternity if I placed it in my collection. I can only hope some third party decides to upscale the thing but that's very unlikely.

I don't see how anyone could get that whether it's from the show or official reference material. Some official reference figures actually list him as bigger than Prime (which also doesn't match what you see on-screen but probably it's why the KFC version of Ginrai is gigantic) and most angles you see the guy in Masterforce the guy is pretty much the same height as Optimus.

Essentially the skeleton parts give the torso-bot a super-mode, so maybe Energon Optimus, but the trailer splits into 4 drone/ limbs and other parts?

Also I'd like to see a future G1 Metroplex be capable of wearing these new combiners as armor.

That has been cpossible for 5 years, since potp combiners added a combiner plugg size port to the combiner hands included with the deluxes, just plug the hand to any 5 mm port and then plug the combiner deluxe to the hand. Thats how fun dumb shiot like this was possible.

It looks like it has limited articulation and isn't really movie-accurate but it seems to have some pretty neat play value between its size, having so many modes (one of the only toys to have both Orion Pax and Optimus forms aside from the Takara Commander which I heard was severely overpriced for the quality), the flip gimmick and the extra weapons. The Prime Changer/Studio Series Optimus almost certainly look and pose better but this thing looks neat for what it is.

Official scale chart for core Ginrai Bot: 10 meters (taller than official Optimus heights)
Show size: lol G1 cartoon scales, but I'd be surprised if you can find any shots in Masterforce where Ginrai is not the same height or taller than Optimus relative to the humans etc
Ultimately if their goal was to capture the Ginrai character as he appeared in Masterforce it really makes no sense to have the core bot be the same size as a CHUG Optimus.

That's even more autistic than typical scale arguments.
The logic for Ginrai's size is simple.
>Ginrai is roughly the same size as the Headmaster Jrs
>the Headmaster Jrs are regular Autobt car sized, as per Minerva's cameo in Victory
>Therefore, the core bot should be no bigger than Wheeljack or Perceptor.
A CHUG Ginrai would be Deluxe sized. (And yes, Legacy Metalhawk is actually too big)
You also can't make Ginrai bigger because God Ginrai is roughly as tall as Star Saber. As it is, MPG Super Ginrai is only about a head shorter than MP Star Saber.

Ginrai is also consistently depicted to be taller than the Headmaster Jrs. so even if you want to argue he's not as tall as Optimus it doesn't really make sense to make him the exact height as the carbots. G1 scale is dumb as always but the MPG is not scaled properly to almost any way you try to look at it.

Give it time and they'll probably do a toy deco of the thing like they did with MP-44, though personally it just looked weirder the way they did it there because it feels inconsistent across the figure. Toy look worked on G1 because it was their way of adding detail across the figure back then, just having a few tiny stickers to recreate that look is weird when the modern figure is like twice as big.

But at least if you think its unfixable Galvatron is one of those molds they reprinted like 4 fucking times so I wouldn't be surprised if you could find the thing for close to $20 at some point if you keep an eye on the listings. Even right now the toy deco one is going for like $30 on Amazon.

Autism time.
How I’d write/depict several Transformer characters
>Ultra Magnus is a natural born leader whose sheer power and weaponry is nothing short of immense. Is leader of a small crew, believes in strength through unity and constantly works to improve everyone he works with in any way he can.
>Optimus isn’t exactly Prime yet. He’s a bit naive and has a long way to go before he’s remotely ready to be a leader, but his kindness, selflessness, and emotional awareness are unmatched. He’s just a member of a small skeleton crew of refugees, trying to transport the Matrix that he found, which eventually starts to bond with him more.
>Bumblebee is a mute, lonely depressive who lost everything in the blink of an eye. At his level of maturity, he has trouble coping with the shit he’s seen. Very reluctant to fight.
>Cliffjumper is the physical embodiment of “Fuck it we ball.” He has a pair the size of Cybertron itself, and the sheer guts on display with him is incredible to say the least. Is literally introduced jumping headlong into a Decepticon base during an electrical storm that’s literally ripping the landscape apart with zero hesitation. Fucking madlad
>Grimlock is just fucking Doomguy. Constantly wants to kill Decepticons, doesn’t care for much else, literally will hit people if they suggest otherwise.
>Megatron is terrifying. He’s Mao, Pol Pot, and Stalin combined in the scariest possible ways. He will eradicate dissidents and create a new order. Also really wants that Matrix
Just wanted to get that out of my skull

Oh shit. This must be Cyberworld, based on whatever leaks we got in the American side of things. This is not supposed to be revealed yet until Earthspark finishes airing, or waiting until NYTF.

Also, I have an interesting question to ask: What names do you prefer for the Brainmasters, the original Japanese or the Euro G1 names when they're rebranded as Motorvators, gutted off their combiner kibble?

they're righter than the old toy, but still not quite right. the correct colors are in between the old one's cerulean and the current one's violet. but the goldish parts are right at least.
I like that he's different in color so he wouldn't be redundant with my original on the shelf, but he still has

also lest we forget, since the beginning of Kingdom, they have been misinterpreting Beast Wars screenshots leading to wrong colors. because there was a lot of intense lighting in there (if you have a CG show, it costs you very little to do that) and lots of weird different finishes, so cheetor might actually look fucking sky blue and lemon yellow if you didn't have the context of the lighting in the scene.

Got NY cheap ass Walmart Star Raiders, but I'll mostly talk about Ferak. Got him for 10, and he needs so much work. Most of his joints are so floppy. I'm also extremely annoyed they didn't account gun metal paint scrapping off when you move the cockpit area, leaving a scar that could have been avoidable if they left like a triangle piece unpainted between the cockpit and the rest of the nosecone. I paid core class prices so I'm not too mad, but man. Also, I was messing around with accesories, and Metalhawk's sword fits thr Cyclonus mold arm perfectly (down to the ridge on the forearm), which is notable because this was changed for Metalhawk, makes me wonder if Metalhawk was originally just an alt head with new sword (sharing the same sprue as the hips or hands) and nothing more.

Still annoys me the Hasbro TM were so lazy, only two unique molds and the third was just a retool. If you weren't Hot Rod, Misfire and Triggerhappy, you could eat shit. A shame Takara didn't make new molds for the Cyclonus and Scourge TM during legends.

There was a board-crossing flame war about Transformers "mecha" status in November, during one thread someone had a hilarious meltdown where they started screaming about how cartoons are ruining the reputation of giant robots.

Not "giant robots" as in, Transformers, they meant "giant robots" as a concept. Whatever that means. Lol

Anyone have the archive link?

I'll never understand why that's allowed. on a basic level it makes no sense. but I can't think of a strong enough reason to ban it either.
also back when a lot of these shows aired, the files were incredibly clunky to keep around. made of literal paper or stored on weird storage drives nobody uses anymore.

don't get me wrong, I'm okay with him being some kind of monsterformer, but give him a new backstory that does not laughably expect us to believe that's an elephant in there. say he was an experiment gone wrong. that his form scanner went beyond the usual fuzoring and really just made him a mess. but even so. don't give him foot-hands anymore or such skinny limbs to go with those feet or.... any of the other problems.

Appointed leader - the ship was Rattrap's, and they were just borrowing it for their colonization mission until Primal was ordered to pursue Megatron. This was part of the reason he and Rattrap didn't initially get along - as Captain, Rattrap was technically the boss of anything that happened on board his ship, but Primal was the only military guy who was under orders from the Council, meaning he could override Rattrap's authority.

Problem with Prime status is that it's morphed in definition over different continuities. But if you want to be autistic and we're just talking Beast Wars there's nothing that indicates that Primal is a Prime because in strict G1 cartoon continuity, a Prime is chosen by the Matrix so that's basically just Optimus Prime, Hot Rod, and maybe the various spirits we see inside the Matrix like Prima and Sentinel. Just holding the Matrix wouldn't count because then Ultra Magnus and Galvatron would be defined as Primes at some point. Primal never held the Matrix anyway, only Prime's spark (obviously there was some confusion by the production crew, but it's been retconned to basically be "It was Prime's spark, he just held it in something that looks like the Matrix as a decoy").

Technically Optimus Primal did become a Prime in one iteration (Prime Wars), but yeah otherwise like someone said a proper translation of Lio Convoy should've been Leo Primal. Who knows where the Matrix is by the time of Beast Wars and beyond, it's one of those things I think they like to keep vague like a lot of other details of how G1 is related to BW era and beyond.

So, after a couple hours of sorting, I've got everything I can together.
As expected of a lot like this, there's a good number of missing/broken pieces, but the main things I wanted seem to be in good condition.
Skylynx is complete, Omega Supreme is just missing some missiles, and while Energon Optimus is missing part of his mask, everything else is there.
Lots of Energon figures and minicons.
Dracula was a nice surprise.

Looking for specific characters? With the official line size does kind-of scale with quality because they like to stick to specific price classes and as a result the $10 Core classes are what you expect a lot of the time.

If you're willing to branch out to the unofficial and knockoff stuff, there's actually a fairly huge boom in Legends class right now, but they are stupid expensive for the size. For example Newage's David is a G1 Optimus but it costs almost as much ($~80) as the official Commander class (~$95) while being like half the size. It's way more detailed than the official Core class Optimus you can find though.

NTA, but he and Megatron were the only two characters who already had their names when they arrived on Primitive Earth; everyone else made their new ones up on the spot when they got their Beast Modes. I'm pretty sure Rhinox calls him by name during the opening battle between the Axalon and Darksyde, and we know they're already calling Megatron by his name right from the beginning as well, no need for introductions.

For official stuff basically there's price points. They are usually around the same size in a given class but there's always some variation so listed below is just an approximate height of their robot modes. Prices below are the MSRP before tax:
Core: $10, ~3-4"
Deluxe: $25, ~5"
Voyager: $35, ~6"
Leader: $55, ~8"
Commander: $90, fair bit of variation in size here because of things like the recent SS86 Optimus Prime or the Kingdom Rodimus coming with trailers and whatnot, but usually the big boys are 9"-1' tall.
Titan: $200 (next one will be $150 as a shift in the price point), mostly big boys like Omega Supreme, Trypticon etc. and are about 2' tall

Recently they basically cancelled/put on hold the Core price point so no new releases for it for now but suggested they might sell packs of them in the future, so if little guys were what you were looking for you could go looking for some of the old stock, but specifically G1 you would mostly only be able to find the core Shockwave and Starscream around still (and Optimus because it's Optimus and they print ten trillion copies of the guy).

A lot of people agree the prices on Transformers toys nowadays are stupidly expensive so unless you really, really want a specific character (or you predict they might be a huge seller so stock will run out) most people look for sales and clearance deals at typical places like Target and Walmart. You can also check a local thrift store like Ross etc. and find some deals. There's some popular online vendors like Bigbadtoystore as well.

If you're interested in the unofficial stuff, that's its own rabbit hole and there's a whole separate thread on this board for that, but the most common vendor people go to for that is probably ShowZ.

So Megatronus has even more rubber parts than previously thought. Not only are the fire effects rubber, so is the entire void scepter. The worst part is that, since the void scepter uses rubber, there's a good chance some part is rubbery on the toy itself.

The whole "rubber/PVC melts other parts of the figure" stuff is really overstated IMO. If you just don't like how it feels then fair enough, but the issue people talk about where it melts other types of plastic is not only something that usually takes literal years to happen, it's something you can prevent a lot of by applying topcoat and whatnot.

I know, I was hoping that meant that they changed the formula from the TR days, but then legacy figures started having these issues so I don't know what's going on. From my understanding, they mainline figures have apparently used the current rubbery material for over a decade, but I haven't heard of any version of Kingdom Megatron developing those issues. The TR og Decepticon HM all had some issues due to it, with copies having the surrounding plastic weaken from being in close proximity to it, leading to breakage. Skullcruncher would have his jaw hinge break, Mindwipe wing hinges would crack if they were in contact with it, Weirdwolf had the cockpit hinge breaking (though that was mostly due to friction and thin hinges) but his jaw could also snap off due to it.

I don't know what to tell you. Chrome can scratch, dent, fade, chip, ect just like anything else. Nothing you've brought up even refutes your original point anyway so I don't care about these details. Blue plastic can be seen through the mold cuts, it's blue plastic chromed silver. Not die cast. And we both agree these parts are chromed, the whys of why the chrome is damaged here is irrelevant. Chipped die cast metal would show like this.

now you need to admit how fucking weird it is for chromed plastic to be dented without any damage to the chrome. I've literally never seen it in all my years of chromed toys. Chipping, flaking, cracking, but never a clean dent where the chrome neatly fills said dent as if it were chromed AFTER denting.

The Buzzworthy toy version repaints are extra sick if you have nostalgia for the old toys over the show itself, or the 90s in general

It's because Hasbro is an American business where the main point is to appease shareholders no matter how fucking bad the decisions are. If there was a loophole where somehow shareholders got money from them creating, packaging, and then burning the toys live on stream so no one could have them, they would do that. And sadly it's just going to get worse with the people in charge. It was a slow trickle with the other party, but the billionaires won and we are ALL fucked.

In Japan, at least I've heard, if the company fucks up and makes a bad decision, the CEO fucking punishes himself by taking no money until they make good on things out of pure shame. American companies don't know what shame is, so they just keep making shitty decisions and then fire their staff every year expecting it to change without taking any leadership responsibility.

I feel like the main problem with Hasbro is that a lot of their shareholders, especially post E-One purchase, see it as a “multimedia corporation” instead of the toy company it really is, resulting in them taking focus away from the main “point” of Hasbro. It’s the same thing happening to Disney, they’re an animation company but because of all the buyouts they have a ton of shareholders who know nothing about animation causing their animation to suck, which it has throughout the 2010s and 2020s

It's the shortest series to air in the US since RID. 2000. Even then it only beat it by 5 eps.
Armada, energon, and cybertron were EACH longer.

That makes way more sense than him being smaller. Citybots need to be massive is they turn into Transformer sized buildings. They're always grossly undersized in cartoons for convenience or ineptitude. Also Unicron is supposed to be planet size, not a single one of the characters would be visible next to him if they actually represented it correctly. Him grabbing Galvatron with two fingers never made sense but the movie is just dumb fun so we just roll with it.

do you think they'll be roughly the same size? I am pretty sure Rattrap's show model cheated, so he might not be able to look right next to others in both modes. I think I'd rather the rat be a little too big, than the robot mode be too small for him to interact with Dinobot without getting uppies first.

Go fuck yourself you fucking loser.

Takara somehow mismanages the line worse than Hasbro if you can believe that. They can't maintain a full line without habsro money. Don't let the MP line fool you. They'd just make more TF Go style lines.

I don't understand the stanning for Takara from some people here. There hasn't been a Transformers anime for a long time, the last ones being I think Go and I guess technically the Q Transformers ones, which are forgettable at best. The MPG line has also been a fucking disaster so far, with Raiden being one of the most laughable MP combiners we've ever seen getting mogged by third party ones from like a decade ago.

A cool music video from Trigger is just about the only cool thing we've seen out of Japan for a while.

They’ve been cucked by brand unification. When they release their own product they still massively BTFO Hasbro.

I don't care about the chrome "dents" or whatever they are. It has nothing to do with my argument.

so you don't think people are making idiotic business decisions that lose money. While meanwhile the general populace has gone red and is ready to stab anyone with a buck.

an eminem song about a fan who is overly obsessed with him, which is basically simping.

Fire truck, fits more with his love for humans.

I honestly dislike Optimus as a fire truck, it certainly hammers home the heroic aspect, but don't like something so occupation-specific. I think the good-natured, streetwise trucker that's always on the road and keeps an eye on everything he comes across is a better "theme" for your car person leader man (though I guess a trucker is occupation-specific too). Either type of truck works for me.
