>see, designer-anon? the helicopter gets a VERY chunky tail when you make it split into legs.
Not who you were talking to, but Classics Topspin's legs don't become his tail. They're the air intakes on either side of his hull; his helicopter tail remains unchanged and hangs off of his back in robot mode.

Anyone with designing for 3D printing experience? I've got a printer but I'd like to make a sort of "lid" for Titans Return Megatron's Seatgun. Something rounded that can make it look more like his cannon. I can use CAD but I'm not sure the best way to go about making a piece to fit another piece like that.

You have to take measurements and are probably gonna have to go thru some trial and error. I'm currently working on a minicon Ramjet for Tidal Wave right now just drawing up schematics and in the process I tried one that was already made and for sale and even that took a lot of tuning to get things to fit properly. Also depends on your materials.

Basically what I would do is make up a rough sketch and draw all the important measurements you would need to know before taking it to CAD. I think this is pretty obvious so my advice here might be a bit redundant or I'm just not understand quite what you're asking.

I’ve been working on a rewrite of ROTB and have been taking suggestions for what can be improved story-wise. I’m trying to change it without needing to alter too much from the original, using the assets the original already had access to.

I'm willing to give it a pass because of his scale really. It's hard to do what they did with their black magic that made Megatron's backpack fold basically perfectly into the silhouette shape of the show model. I have just been starving to get more BW MP figures and was getting nervous that the quality would change once they were under that MPG banner (which still doesn't make a lick of sense to me).

It may not physically exist yet. Beyond a single prototype that they're probably still working the kinks out of, there most likely isn't anything to show beyond a proof of concept, hence why renders exist.

Can't be set in the Bayverse, though, because if Unicron is Earth, everyone does when he transforms (and just being a big, buried robot would be overwhelmingly shit). They already established in OG Beast Wars that the beast forms block energon radiation, though, so it'd still work outside of that one caveat.

While I'm not opposed to this, I feel like he's so similar in concept to The Ark figure that it would have to do something drastically different. Or am I retarded? It's been a while since I've seen animated, but he was the same idea right?

For what it's worth, I also took that "supremely" clue as some sort of Omega Supreme, so I don't think you're wrong.

>>11297039
It still puts Unicron in a position where anything he does has to be undone, which kills the threat he poses. It'd be best just to leave the Bayverse as it is, they kind of wrote themselves into an inescapable corner (without retconning their own story, at least) and improve the current one. The worst part of TLK, and RotB to a degree, is having Unicron show up as a set piece and contribute very little to the story past being a looming threat.

Basically all of that could still work for a sequel. Unicron has a reason to return, after being cucked out of an all-you-can-eat buffet, and he could even have some traitor Maximals that were turned like Galvatron. Optimus can realize that bringing the war to Earth is now inevitable, and can focus on bolstering it's defenses with his main men, and that trail, combined with the first movie, could even lead Megatron and the Decepticons back to Earth. Maybe he gets snagged by Unicron, too, but not until at least halfway through his screen time, gotta enjoy the Cybertronian design we never got the first time.

I feel the same way but I’m not sure what over version of Omega they would do. Energon and WFC feel too niche, G1 has a recent toy, and Animated is too close to the Ark. maybe it’s referring to a character that had a Supreme Class toy before, like Primus?

The main draw for it is Spnister for many. If you want him, you could pre order or hope it's still up for Prime Day. Twin Twist shelf warmed, so no clue how much demand there is for Topspin. I inly 2ant Topspin, so he's hopefully 25 or lower on ebay.

I know, the point is, there's no clue how many people actually want it. TT did poorly, but that could be due to not releasing his brother at that time, so Topspin could potentially go both ways, either relatively cheap in the aftermarket, or too expensive to buy outside the two pack.

I kinda like him because he looks almost like a remake of the Robotmasters convoy figure, of all things, which is kind of weird and interesting.And it's kinda neat to see a toon-styled optimus that doesn't use a faux grill like every other one does.
Wouldn't pay full price, but if it goes on sale I might pick it up on impulse

I've figured it out anyway. I haven't handled my Spinister and Topspin in years, they're stored at my parents and I'd have to drive 250 miles to get them. Easier to buy new ones. I'll likely cancel them when I visit my folks in a few months.

I just wanted him and thought he looked cool, but couldn't afford him due to holiday stuff. First saw him in November but have been strapped for cash. This blows. He's shot up in price like crazy on Amazon and is sold out the other two places I know to check.

It's pretty much what I was expecting honestly. Rattrap is a total shellformer and they never seem to give a shit about kibble being too big. Like maybe they could have spread some bulk into the legs like the T30 one did, but then you'd have inaccurate legs on a figure that still has to have a backpack anyway so why bother? Just slap a rat pelt on his back and make the actual robot as good as it possibly can be.

I think it boils down to the movies wanting designs that didn’t translate to toys very well, especially all the moving parts that definitely would never work on a toy scale or budget. It’s honestly one of the problems I believe modern Transformers designs suffer from, where they design the character and alt mode separately and then it’s up to the toy maker to design the in-between

eeeyup.
as much as i defend the movies, they could have made a tiny tweak to be a tiny bit less complex and make the transformations make way more sense. and japan tried to tell them how to do that.
but the solutions they found are kind of amazing.

Megatron goes on clearance plenty of times. You don't normally see that with Optimus. Just recently both Armada Mega and Galva went on clearance, and could be found cheap second hand. Dragon TM Megatron didn't do much better. Galvatron has from Legacy and Kingdom is still available for nearly half off.Meanwhile, Armada Optimus sold like hot cakes, came back the following year and sold out again. 86 Optimus practically flies off the shelves.

The only Prime toy that's done poorly in recent years is Laser Prime.

They tried with automorphing and "allspark blue", remember that shit? For a while the only movie Ironhide I had was dark blue with tons of light blue highlights. The baby blue paint was lame but I loved when certain bots had little wheels or gizmos simulating internal motion of parts.

the smaller ones never got the legs right, but they're still neat guys.
all because they set a limit for themselves and used it to curtail what they could do. pure scale. So if a jet is that big, you gotta give him short legs and spread his shoulders out so that his mass won't be outrageous.

Yeah they'd still bullshit things like that in animation for aesthetics sake, but the point is that they still seriously considered how the transformation would actually work and where the parts would go and come from, and the result is that most animated characters have at least one solid toy actually looked and transformer like the character on the show.

Doritoscream is fascinating to me because he completely changed the paradigm of how jetformers were designed.
By Cybertron you could tell they were getting desperate trying to make jetformers look fresh and cool, so you get Thundercracker and his weird ass arm
Then Movie starscream is designed and is totally different from all the Japanese derived designs for the last 23 years. the early movie lines are full of things like that, completely rethinking how to make them transform

That depend on what they decided the alt head should be. Most of the time, it makes no sense, and their use can be random.

Still annoyed with how they handled Blaster, they used expressions the figure and then used the wrong one for both of them. The worst part is that Hasbro doesn't typically add a third alt head, and a new head would require a brand new mold for it, so Hasbro would either have to change on the toy to make it worth it, or tie the head to something else.

People shit on the IDW comics a lot around here but it honestly had some really great ideas. It's like any other comic book run really, you got some good ideas and a lot of really bad ones.

I like that one of the endings they had for Optimus was that after fighting for millions of years, he realized he had lost himself and made the selfish choice to preserve his own freedom and identity rather than endlessly work to improve Cybertron by passing the Matrix onto a new generation and flying off so he could finally just be himself again. Then they had to ruin that by having him come back because he's the main character so he has to come back.

I liked the idea of the war mostly just petering out, and by the time the dust had settled after Dark Cybertron (gay event btw) everyone was just sort of tired of it, so they quit shooting one another. Then they had to figure out what else to do, since Transformers are pretty much made just to shoot each other. It was neat seeing postwar Cybertron try to turn back into an actual society, with an economy and politics and TV news, only a society made up entirely of PTSD mass murderers.

I'm more for the comics introducing interesting new character personalities like with Barricade, Whirl, Pharma, the Wreckers, and the Starscream who "won". Thundercracker's one of the more famous fan favorites but he was already written as a doubter in the earlier generations and this was the first time (?) they leaned into this trait, story-wise. Only problem with him is that he only had a leader class toy that wasn't all that good to keep.

>Decepticons 'save' him, only for Megatron to forcibly reformat his body into the Nemesis - again, while he's still alive, conscious, and paralyzed, meaning all he can do to object is groan in horror as his body is permanently altered into little more than a transport with no hope of reversing the process
Considering he was the only dude who was truly loyal until the end, the whole thing was just outright cruel.

Not like they were fan faves to begin with. Dino's just notable because he's a Ferrari and the licensing/mattel competition meant Hasbro couldn't make a proper toy of him for years. Stinger's even worse because he's a red evil Bumblebee, though it could be argued that he can still resurface as a generic grunt with a name like that.

Core Rattrap fits pretty well into a Legends-scale Beast Wars collection though, so there's that. Little bit too big for that but I think Core class is near the limit of how small a Transformer toy can be while still actually being decent.

There's not a lot of options for Beast Wars Legends scale yet but it's for those autists like me who like using them alongside MP G1 bots to recreate those scenes in Beast Wars.

what's sad is, Core the same height as the old 'basic' rattrap. but a lot shrimpier bodily. because the toy was a lot stumpier in proportion... so if they had kept the old toy's girth, but extended its height, it would have been perfect. alas.

Hey there's some third party Legends scale Beast Wars. They're honestly really nice, but of course they've only made the obvious characters so far. Until I see like, Airrazor or something I'm going to expect it to be like so many other third party lines where they just stop suddenly after they only make the same characters everyone has copies of already.

Depends on how you want to define Legends scale I guess. That Primal is basically the same size as Core Beast Machines Cheetor, and the Megatron is obviously a fair bit bigger but it's actually accurate to the size difference between Primal and Megatron in the show (same size difference is there between the MP version of those 2).

Really hoping it's a Siege retool, Earth Hound doesn't work well for him. You'd only need to change the head and figure out how to change the top section so thr canopy is closed without completely changing the backpack, then just add his view finder weapon (use the kickstand to fill the hole in the alt mode?) and he's good.

His rotor and blades
from copter mode, have them stick straight up, making a tube (the canon)
it might work better if you made his forarms be the top part of the helicopter, under/behind the rotor and then the helicopter wings would go on his back like TFanimated megatron.

bingo
Starscream and thundercracker will combine into 1 jet, and Grimlock and Snarl will combine into one dino.

They're making color choices to make them look more cohesive. Hotrod has a yellow chassy, and red spoiler, instead of the other way around, so he looks good with bumblebee. Shockwave has mostly gray so he works well with Megatron.
Ultra Magnus is blue and white, which works with optimus already. Thundercracker and starscream share the same colors, just different amounts, same with the dinobots.

Nemesis Prime will likely be mostly black with red highlights, and clench will likely be dark green with yellow highlights, so the dark green sorta matches the black.

(The origin being that he's s prototype drone trooper who immediately decided, seconds after being brought online, that Megatron sucks and stages a coup against him and forces all of the other Cons to build mass produced clones of himself to serve as his new army leading to Prime and Megatron teaming up to kill him and his clones)

We can see what you did; what that anon is saying is what you SHOULD have done. As it stands, your dude looks more like Whirl than Megatron - changing elements of his design is fine, but you need to keep at least some of the character's defining elements of you want him to be recognizable as who you're saying he is, and in Megatron's case, that's his Fusion Cannon. Both of his modes are built around that thing no matter what universe he's in, and even as Galvatron he keeps it. If that's supposed to be Megatron, you've got to come up with some way to let him have his signature weapon, and the best way to do so short of awkwardly strapping the thing to the bottom of the helicopter mode is to make it so his rotor blades fold up into it in robot mode.

I don't have an issue with the headmaster gimmick, but Weirdwolf was one of the easy de-headmasterable molds, they just would've to remove the back "wall"of the wolfs neck, so the robot head could hide inside the wolf neck, or add a neck hinge so the head could store in the headmaster cockpit, but that requires more parts.

There's still the possibility that they de-Headmastered him; one, Carnivac is not known to have ever been a Headmaster (so his head would have no previous identity to reference), and two, pic related exists despite being a barely-modified Mindwipe.

My biggest concern with using the Weirdwolf mold isn't the Headmaster gimmick - it's that Weirdwolf 's entire midsection is made of that same soft plastic that Mindwipe 's wings are - you know, the stuff that everyone complained about having deteriorated over time? There's very little actually solid material holding his upper torso to his lower one, and his transformation requires you to collapse the entire lower section into the upper one to shorten his wolf torso, meaning it's going to quickly suffer from wear and tear. Dude is destined to rip in half if they don't use something sturdier this time around.

but wheeljack's entire thing is he's turbo cool to the point that if he didn't exist and you made him up, he'd be called a mary sue.
that's why he looks so much like Drift, who is a parody of those.
if Transformers has a nerd, it's, what, Bumblebee? but movie Bee was made too cool, so that won't work.

First. If transformers has 1 guy more nerdy than wheeljack. It's preceptor
Two, wheeljack isn't a turbo cool guy
That's jazz, tracks, hotrod, etc
Wheeljack is a mechanic. A tinkerer.
That's it.
In TF prime they reimagined him as a warrior, maybe you have that confused?

G1 wheeljack wasn't just a nerd. He was a cool mad scientist uncle that made shit for kicks and likes stunt driving. He was among the few actual race car alt modes in G1. This is the same guy that engineered the dinobots because he thinks dinosaurs are cool and strong.

Every time they reinvent him they just make him lamer, the perfect character is already right there

Since I can't sleep, I'll post the video info so you don't need to watch:
- big squre box, closer toUnicron than the previous Haslabs, with figures split between 4 boxes.
-Blue bolts comes with the stand
-Then there's the sword
-Optimus in vehicle mode
-Magnus in vehicle mode

Figured are sandwiched in plastic clamshells and they added many extra bits to protect the paint from rubbing off.

Basically they probably found a way to put ALL of Fire Convoy's parts on the finished product so nothing is hanging around off to the side.

It's been a while but I think that the original GFC was able to do the same, I don't remember tho. Was fan-made.

Straxus is a leader class, and online only, so 55+ shipping. They might be making 5 bucks in profit on him, so it's probably worth it if you love the character.

That gamer edition starscream shelfwarmed hard, so 5 bucks upcharge means they just bought it in regular retail and are looking for a profit.

gamer edition optimus having a 25 dollar upcharge is pure insanity though.

the IDW girlbots are on amazon for 38 bucks. Also pure insanity

Antagony is only a 5 dollar upcharge.

cybertron had missed potential with the wingsaber & leobreaker combinations not being compatible with each other unless you mod your optimus
plus the combiner arm tooling being ambidextrous but there's nothing else to combine with except another leobreaker

Cybertron one looks better and its the most stable, energon prime thinking cap and fat torso take a lot of points out, Omega has balance issues and his mid torso is a mess that only looks ok from the front view.

Except for Victory saber I've own all of them, I know what I'm talking about.

Nta, but the Cybertron one doesn't even look like a power up, his regular super mode wings and guns are way cooler than the puny things Wingsaber gives him. Only thing that actually gives that classic super robot final combination vibes is the chest, but it still manages to look less powerful than his super mode nonetheless.

Omega Prime on the other hand really looks like a legit Brave descendant, even if the toy isn't not so stable. That's the reason I own both RiD Prime and Magnus but never cared to get a Sonic Bomber for my Galaxy Convoy.

Check out the awesome base Guardian Robot can be for smaller bots. I have it with my previous big base, the Botropolis Rescue Mission 6-Pack. Also have my Ark out, so it's a whole mission control for space operations. Legends/Core are a bit big, but I think it can still work. Turned the big Guardian Robot tank into a tower center.
