Cryotek would be nice but desu I'd probably only buy one if it came with an ice blast effect and only so I could give that effect to Megatron.
My biggest want for a while now has been a Marvel G1 Blaster. I made a custom earlier in the year but I'd still love an official one. Hopefully this rumoured Studio Series comic line will get to him before too long.

Metalhawk and Vector Prime, though for the latter, I just prefer not to pull the jet mode's tailfin up to be truer to the original toy's design.

Still waiting on Reverse Convoy and Jungle Planet Scourge, the former using tech from Megatronus and SS86 Megs, and the latter being a straight-up remold of Onyx Prime with less compromise or consequence compared to the six-legged griffin of the base mold.

While fiddling with my Nemesis prime I made a discovery I have never seen mentioned anywhere about the big convoy mold... the spark crystal in his chest is backwards on every single version of the mold. The original even has metalic paint on the "back" side of it to draw light to the maximal logo

The glue holding the spark crystal in on my Nemesis was extremely weak and the crystal fell out. It also had big globs of glue across the round part of the crystal.

I sanded it all of, polished it and now it looks like this.

What I'm saying is that the metallic back of the spark crystal is facing the front of the chest, not back, meaning his spark crystal would be functional if it was facing the correct direction.

>I was intro Transformers long before I ever watched any of the shows or movies
I once made several people in this thread mad revealing that i don't really care about tf-characters or cartoons.
As a kid in the 90s i saw only that weird japanese one where some kid rides the Optimus and they are not "sentient" so kids riding them. or something like that. - i saw like 3 episodes.

Then i tried to became a fan when Animated appeared and tried to go into TF-circles BUT literally every nerd absolutely hated Animated. I remember being banned on one forum because i drew 2 fanarts of Animated transformers and people instantly started shitting on my drawings because they hated that TV-show (it was a year when it aired).

So i knda became a hater of tf-community for a while because it left me with negative feelings and i didnt like Bayformers so whole 2000-2010s for me were empty but i still was a fan of Transformers The Movie and was listening to the OST in non stop (i still do up to this day im not even kidding-i was listening to it yesterday even lol).

I became even more attached to transformers when Combiner Wars-TitansReturn-Power of the Primes appeared and THEN when i finally started to post photos of my toys online again.

And this time the community is way more chill than in the 00-2010s.
i absolutely fucking hated it back then. worst experience ever.

But yeah...i dont care about media that much.
I never watched them as a kid. And when i tried to be a fan - i was always ckicked out.
I just like toys because they are fun to play with.
PS:
Funniest part - i create my own squads/stories and decepticons and autobots are always mixed together.
Because the concept of "2 teams fighting each other" was never drilled into my brain.
Up to this day i dont even know half of the characters.

What
no
Literally everybody hated it. It was more hated than "trucc no monke" shit because this time people hated it because it "babyfied transformers" and "made it look like a show stupid kids".
I know nowadays tf-cartoon look even worse but back then we had like 3 tf-shows so the bar was that high.

Btw i was posting my stuff even here on /toy/ around 2007 and people hated Animated even in this thread.
>>11632007
>Man. I got onto Transformers with Beast Wars and we had internet access around the end of it. I remember so many trukk not munkey dudes it was unreal.
yeah i forgot to tell that i'm a BW-guy.
When i say "transformers" i mean _the_ famous transformers Optimus/Bee/Starscream - all those famous toys and stuff.

I separate it from Beast Wars because BW is always on the side. at least it feels like that.

i always tried to "enter circles" of transformers fans (the G1 and other "famous guys" fans) but always met with shitty giga-autism bullshit and craled back to my BW-cave.

Only when Combiner Wars/Titans Returns were released i finally found my place here because gen Z started growing up and they didnt have that amount of autism so the whole TF-community became more chill.
now most of "autists" are in their 40-50s or dead.
thanks fucking god. I can finally enjoy "Transformers"

you probably a zoomer and was a little kid back then so you liked it (i liked too but i was a weird one who still watched cartoons)
My tf-friends hated it because he hated the designs and was too attached to G1 and wanted show to "grow up with its fans".
/toy/ hated it for the same reasons
nerds on forums hated it to the point when my fan-arts (it was the first Animated fanart they saw on that forum and it triggered several people turning an "fan art-thread" into autistic arguing about how "Transformers animated KILLING THE FRANCHISE" - it was awful i still remember all that hate and arguing even if 15+ years have passed)

I loved it back then and still do. I gave the show a try after being surprised by the design of the deluxe Prowl toy, before that I was horrified by the first look at the cartoon designs. Collected pretty much all characters from the show.

To this day is my second favorite after BW .

I don't know where you were posting your art but as you've been told several times, the fandom was initially negative towards Animated based purely on the art style but once the show finally aired, and people could see that it was well written and voice acted, opinions generally switched to positive. And that positivity grew once the toys eventually started to show up.

Anyone who says they liked TF Animated day one is a fucking revisionist liar.

The first season was widely panned, in large part because of the bullshit decision to mostly have the season feature human villains and marginalizing the Decepticons. Also the figures were super simplified kiddie slop.

It wasn't until season two, when the show did a massive course correction, that fans started warming up to it. Decepticons became the main villain, the human villains got dropped, and we started getting major unique TF lore stuff like Black Arachnia's origin the Wasp flashback episode, Soundwave and Lockdown showing up, and the start of the Shockwave subplot.

People do seem to forget the human villains and how divisive they were but you're misremembering things yourself. Lockdown Soundwave and Blackarachnia's origin were all season 1 and people really started warming up to the show when the Dinobots were introduced, which was episode 6.
As for the toys, the kiddie slop you mentioned certainly did exist, as legends and activators. Then you had deluxe and above which were almost universally praised.

i like non-decepticon villains
for one thing, I like how the 'cons were an OPPRESSIVELY strong force, taking all the autobots to handle even one
so having lesser villains, of human origin, gave them a chance to be heroes and show they're here to help, while not diminishing the decepticon threat.

I myself didn't see these eoisodes, but I will say this: Upon rewatching G1 recently I realized human or non Decepticon villains were neither new nor rare, and not at all exclusive to Animated. I've really come to love Animated now, and see that Animated was also a love letter to Transformers as a whole. I loved that they pulled characters and lore from everywhere in the franchise and I'd love to see it done more often. They even pulled in Blackout from TF'07.

i'm with you there, really. Beast Wars had some really excellently balanced body types, and they really smoothed out some of the more ungainly proportions of the toys they were based on.
Animated just managed to win me over, both the show and the toyline (moreso the toys), SOMEHOW making those simplified designs work.
Prime.... almost did everything right, but I feel like they have classic Gamecube syndrome. "yay we can do this advanced, detailed CGI! Let's make everything a bunch of really thin pieces because we can RENDER all those polygons now!" and then all those thin pieces make them look rickety and fragile, while simultaneously not chunky enough to feel like proper robots. I still liked it, but I had zero interest in the toys.. Well not zero, I wanted Dreadwing, but they fucked him up.

interesting, to me it doesn't even seem special enough to be anyone's least favorite.

I don't care about animated, prime, rid, cyberverse, earth spark, and cyberworld simply because they don't have a unique play feature built in to the design that makes them uninteresting to me.

How much does the alt mode factor in for you? If you like a robot mode but the alt mode sucks is that gonna stop you? I ask because essentially the only alt modes I ever display are seekers. It's a weird scenario where I love Transformers and would never consider buying a non-transforming one, but I'll essentially never Transform it.

they had the style. they were so cool.
Even the Wreck Gar. it was coo chunky figure. Dinobots were fucking cool too as toys.

>These niggas all look like Ben 10
hehe
that's because one of artists worked on Ben 10

Ben-10 like cartoons were go-to cartoons "for growing up kids" back then. So not surprising they sharing some aspects of their design.
But you can't argue about that because 80s Transformers literally looked just like any other 80s cartoon (ghostbusters/GIjoe/etc.) and shared the same aspects of technology/robots designs.

It's a thing of it's era just like every other tf-cartoon.

I have very few transformers that don't have a satisfying altmode. '07 movie Scorponok for one, RotF Ravage for another. I still like Ravage enough but I won't even bother turning him into "meteor mode", maybe if it held together with more strength than crossed fingers I would.

If you collect Legends scale or Blockee Transformers, it's a good budget version of the character and scales pretty good with them.

BUT if you are doing regular scale TFs, it's a bad fit. It's too big to put against any of the Powermaster Optimus Primes and too small for Fortress Maximus.

It's works best if you are a Blockee fanboy or have a decent sized Transformers Prime legends scale collection to pair it with.

an unfortunate aspect of a time where the budgets were so excessive and the ongoing design philosophy was a need to give everything some sort of gimmick.
Scorponok didn't need much of anything, but design philosophy dictated he needed some gimmicks to make it a more appealing sell.

Sky Lynx is one of my favorite toys to come out of Earthrise. He's a space shuttle that turns into a badass robo-dragon (sorry - "Dino-Bird") who splits into two separate toys, a giant lynx and a "bird" (clearly a wyvern). He has another mode they added in that turns his lower half into a launch pad and base for his shuttle half to take off from, too, and if you have the matching Botropolis Rescue set, you can connect them all to make a little playset.

Look at the scale chart, he's still taller than most of the cast and pretty bulky. The only guys taller are the Destron leaders and Blendtrons, while Arcadis is close on height, but not nearly as bulky.

the head still goes up to the waist, but he's also just thinner and less bulky overall, so it seems wrong. and the new magmatron has longer legs (and is standing up straight in that picture) so Big needs to be taller to maintain the same feel

The scale chart may be what was intended, but it is not accurate in the slightest. Even in this particular set (probably the cleanest I've seen in a while) the 8 inch height difference between Lio and Big is not as pronounced as it should. The scale In BwII and neo were all fucking over the place, when Flash Lio Convoy is fighting Unicron in the final episode Lio is two thirds his size. Big Convoy is frequently shown brawling with Magmatron at eye level even in the opening of the show though he is still several heads shorter he is by no means at Magmatrons waist.

The size of the original is perfect. For those without Magmatron he's about a half inch shorter than commander Optimus is. He even scales well with the recent takara redo of the legacy Lio Convoy.

I don't see the new Big Convoy receiving the same treatment Lio got though... too much is wrong with the base figure, from his overly wide and flat torso to his stumpy fat blocks for legs. The only thing I can give them is that the head sculpt is better, but that is highly subjective.

I stand by the way the original trunk was done too. The gimmick kinda sucked but I've long grown to like how it arcs over his shoulder when in cannon mode and even how it sticks out the side in storage mode.

>>11633763
This is a great example of what is wrong with the missile racks on the new one. The ears of the beast mode are left open spreading the beast head across his shoulders like a pelt almost. The new one just looks like a double stacked hamburger.

Shit is hilarious. The consensus on Animated more or less flipped after the first Starscream fight. There was some negativity with how slow the first season was, but once Megatron came back and the serious tone of the show entered focus even those that held out because of a distaste for the design saw the worth of Animated.

Beast Machines on the other hand is one of those shows were even ignoring the grotesque Maximal "robot" modes the story is more interesting in a short recap. The vehicon generals are the most fun thing in the show, and they have committed character assassination on the returning cast. Megatron eventually gets better, but his sudden comically over the top hatred of organics is wild when considering how hard he was gloating about how powerfull his tm2 body... THAT HE STILL HAS is just a few episodes prior. All the maximals went full retard though, except maybe Rattrap, who was rightfully displeased by his newly borked body that doesn't function in any way similar to his old one.

The whole show is just obtuse shallow drama over and over, coupled with characterization jumping all over the place constantly. It gets the hate it deserves.

Just comparing to some Anime screenshot, this is what I find really drags down his look:

-Red on the pics should be bigger, or the Grey line being backed by a band or red.
-They should have painted the hinges section at the sides of the pelvis brown, since the actual pelvis isn't as wide and that makes it look much wider, coloring it like the mammoth bits would make more sense and make the pelvis look closer to the right size.
-Hinges at the abdomen needed to be removed, either make the flap for the Matrix extend at the bottom, then hinge open, or just make the blue section have the hinge integrated right there, having the white sections of the abdomen just out like that makes his torso look off.
-Arms needed to be at least 20 percent bigger.

I'll post a shifty ms paint in a bit explaining what I mean.

Sort of...

- the gray on the chest should be clear red and the gray should be painted. I'm sure we are going to find a skybyte situation once he comes out more widely and we are going to find a Maximal logo sculpted on the back of his spark crystal.
- I fully agree on the hinges being brown, but his whole torso is still too wide.
- you are right about the door to the energon matrix, the hinge should be completely resessed into the midriff. It looks like that was done so the door could be pinned.
The arms should be bulkier yes, and torso slimmer and the legs even more so. His lower legs are essentially 90s gundam legs with a mammoth leg attached to the back for a fold out kickstand and a large pickaxe stored under a large flank. Wrapping the kibble around them ruins the look

The hip boosters being so long also looks like shit. People have long complained about how much of the beast head turns into the Big Cannon, here it is even worse, so little of the beast head is left over on his shoulders that the missile pods ended up the wrong shape and the ears are somehow Thicker and more massive than the head halves.

TF is next up, they better not mess it up or haslab is probably fucked.

I'm honestly curios just how they'll make the throttlebots. They mentioned the 86 bee mold, but now we have another bee mold so I'm wondering if both molds will be used to make them.

I feel like they’d just make a new Metroplex given the old one is more than a decade old at this point. I’m not sure what size class to put Broadside in, I feel like he should be the same general size as the current combiners which would make him a rather small Titan

I can only assume, but it might be done to try and make the repaints standout by not having them share a name. In Shadowstrips case, he came out around the same time as regular Dragstrip.

Since Menasor needed a Dragstrip, the name change may have been done to avoid confusion, like a parent getting the wrong one because they share a name.

Motormastera instructions weren't colored, and a colored dragstrip wasn't shown on the back of the box (it really is weird these commander boxes don't highlight the other toys in a group shot or something).

We did get ML Arcee so the odds of us getting this aren't too terrible, though ML pricing might make ML Unicron cost almost as much of the Haslab even though it'll be nowhere near as big. And that's before they put in the electronics that version was supposed to have, which sure they wouldn't cost much to make but you know TT loves adding a premium for that sort of thing.

So I was researching buying a 3D printer for hobby projects and decided to go looking around to see what TF-related stuff there was. The Sam Forge Lugnut seems like a neat idea but I doubt I'd be able to assemble it properly. Anyway I kept seeing it compared to HFTD Lugnut and I'm honestly shocked at how expensive it is on the aftermarket. Is it really that good of a figure, or is it just because it's Lugnut in particular?

There's several paint schemes so just pray your favorite gets a shot, there's:

-Toy colors
-Ultra Mammoth
-Nemesis Prime
-Blue Big Convoy

And that's assuming Big sells well enough, Lio didn't so we didn't get any of his repaints (Nemesis was already in the pipeline, otherwise he'd be shelved as well).

think about it
magmatron was barely able to do it, with a really compromised giganoto mode, and his components didn't need to individually transform

tripredacus has completely malformed arms and some REALLY awkward robot modes for his individual forms, while magnaboss's entire transformation centers around ironhide who just sucks all around. they are tricky and really hard to fix. no way on earth they'd be at a commander price, even magmatron wouldn't at this point.

Did the MPG God Ginrai combination. It's much better than Raiden, but still flawed:

-Lining up the chest is a nightmare, specially if you try doing it to avoid paint chipping Ginrai or chrome chipping.
-The combination cannot handle the weight, the knees and hips will give out pretty easily.
-The chest tabs are also finicky. The upper tabs can move out of place and have a side panel you can accidentally move inward while combining, meanwhile the bottom tabs are too long. You can't modify the bottom tabs too much either since they're also used for Godbombers robot mode.
-The backpack is entirely held by the back cannon, which can be an issue if you improperly modified it to prevent damage (the springs in those areas are too tight, and some people have opted to remove them entirely).

Like, a good half of Godbombers issues in general involve alignment issues, making any transformation a chore. The one positive I can say, is that once everything id in place, most modes are rock solid. The only part that doesn't stay in place well are the shoulder pieces for God Ginrai, the pegs aren't big enough and their attachment points to store them in other modes do little to keep them in place.

Also, I get why they did it, but they really should have made ginrai without metal. They did it to counterbalance the weight of the backpack for transformation, but it's honestly not necessary.

Ginrai's cab being made of metal also makes it susceptible to paint chip for God Ginrai (the intended method will chip the paint) and the super ginrai transformation will cause paint rub (my copy already has some at the right side, near the bottom).

With the way they designed the toy, they should have just made the connecting areas on Super Ginrai have either removable parts, or flip out pieces to reveal another type of connection. Having the removable parts on SG reveal a rail system at the top would help a lot, same for Godbombers crotch connection.

Yeah, yeah. Keep simmering Hasbro with complaints, and surely, they could downscale the prices and productions of non-Unicron HasLabs, most particularly Omega Prime, into retail. Not!
Of course, unless the complaints weigh too heavy on them that they will force themselves to release Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus separately, at the cost of the Omega Blade and the rising road platform stands (though to some, maybe they could add the Omega Blade somewhere else). Too much copium inhaled to say this, but points for trying.

We never see Zeta Prime transform at all, and they might not bring him up for a long, long time after seeing the leaks spanning between 2026 to Winter 2027, so Blokees making him first before Hasbro is the only move they have to do.

Let's worry about whether or not the toys are actually going to be in one piece before nitpicking about their proportions; besides, I'm assuming anyone who was dumb enough to fund the thing already saw what they were going to look like and we're fine enough with it.

And I'm sure Road Caesar could follow suit.

So, does anyone think the other Brainmasters should keep their names, or change them to internalize the Motorvator identity in Euro G1, but with slightly different names for the leg bots due to already sharing names (Gripper, Flashfire, Thunderbolt)?

So? "Hoe" in American English both refers to a garden implement and is shorthand for 'whore'. That doesn't mean we suddenly can't use the term at all. Slag very clearly isn't a prostitute, so his name is most certainly referencing the smelting process - y'know, 'cuz he's made of metal?

In the context of you replying to a post about inconsistent size classes, what the heck are you talking about? Siege may have had some good figures (as well as some bad ones), but it was also the start of, "Here's a figure that isn't substantial enough to be leader class, but rather than sell it as a voyager, we'll pack in a bunch of useless crap most people are gonna ignore," with Shockwave and Astrotrain.

Siege Shockwave fucks and I expressly bought a spare one to give my DCS SW the armor.

Astrotrain stops at being an alright triple changer. The accessories for him are ass and don't match the character, really. Fuck does he need a pair of caboose slippers for? A bunch of 3d printed fixes though and it's still better than whatever garbage was being churned out by Kingdom. As for his size, Astro is expressly a mass-shifter. You can't argue scale over this guy when he's Blitzwing's height like half the time. The accessories complaint I get, but what, you want them to bend the laws of physics for a $35 price point?

I'd argue that kingdom had perfect size classes.

Core (legends), deluxe, voyager, leader, commander, titan

I don't think there needs to be a stepping point between core and deluxe, because of figures like '86 bee existing

I can see the need for an ultra class between voyager and leader though.

It isn't a question of what size/scale Astrotrain *should* be. That has nothing to do with the subject of consistency in size classes in Siege. Regardless of Astrotrain's lore, alt modes, fictional depictions, etc, he was an example of a figure Hasbro had to give a bunch of accessories in order to justify charging a leader price point for.

You got the same amount of plastic compared to a Leader, just split between the figure and accessories. The cost was the exact same to manufacture. Hell, Blitzwing + accessories probably has more plastic per square inch on him than 86 Megs.

And that's exactly the problem! The figure itself wasn't substantial enough to be leader class, so they had to add a whole mess of accessories to justify charging the leader price point for it. So Siege wasn't some glorious period of size class consistency because it was where Hasbro started doing stupid stuff to justify charging leader class prices for figures that themselves shouldn't be leader class.

I wish they'd go back to borrowing from peter to pay paul
if there's one simple transformers character, and one very complex one, I'm okay with the company selling them at the same price point, as long as they nailed them both. and I'll understand the simple guy is essentially paying the complex guy's way.

oh also he came with lio's gun from the show! as far as I'm concerned, he's a mandatory buy. and I loved redeco-ing him. if I was rich, I'd do it again. why not a blue lion? or a deep reddish tan one with black stripes, fucking nemean lion. maybe with copper/bronze robot mode colors... there's so much potential.

It is boring but it's supposed to be Copy Convoy and in all fairness that's how he looks. I would have double dipped and grabbed him if the lion head wasn't so silly looking. I might still get it if they do a version with the new remold that's coming out.

In the novelization, which was based off of the original script, it's Dino who got executed. Que still died, though - Driller pushed him into a river where he got torn apart by a bunch of Decepticons, so the execution was arguably the least painful way for him to go out.

Don't know if it's THE most poseable, but it certainly has all of the articulation of the Hasbro Legacy Voyager mold, has a better transformation scheme, and has an actual transforming wing-blade, all despite its much smaller scale. Definitely worth grabbing if you're a fan of ArmadaScream.

On that topic, my current deskformer is the WFC core class Megatron and I LOVE this guy. His alt mode is ass and the Transformation is annoying, but as a poseable bot mode he owns. He's really limber for his size. Obviously not pulling anything off that isn't a gun point or kneel, but he does far more than just A-pose.

Hasbro really should have gone in with takara for wild king.

Extra budget on the figures for head articulation on the energy masters and a couple improved joints and connection points for combination on Optimus and Megatron would have gone a long way. If they had they both got the bulk and rachets of Cybertron Era Ultras or Voyagers they might stand on their own in base forms.

The base Optimus and Megatron with Longlight and Volka are pretty easy to aquire, the other energy beasts are a nightmare to aquire at a reasonable price since people buy tons of them because of their extreme customizability.

Some might just be getting multiples of World Dragnus because of extra Dragoknight Soldiers to make the show-accurate Super Mode. But to be honest, getting only one copy just so that the extras from Nemesis Prime and Shadow Megatron can be used as replacements to make >>11637006 is much cooler, and seems more of an incentive than anything. All that's left is a promo for the Element Shield...

Different topic, but the 2026 "Energon-based" capsule wave for Walmart being based on Prime is more because of the idea of giving more well-known versions of certain Artifacts like Prime Optimus getting the Prime version of the Star Saber and Dark Energon Megatron getting the Dark Star Saber, and one of the name pending characters possibly getting the more iconic giant Forge of Solus Prime shaped like a Piko Piko Hammer. That's why I thought of Prime after seeing the listings, especially because Dark Energon is more famously known in that series among others.

I wouldn't have minded it if they had just made something to replace them, like core class did with legends. Now the smallest a bot can get is Deluxe, and while that's my favorite size for display it's too big to be a deskformer imo.

Speaking of size classes, are any of the Siege micromasters worth getting? Obviously not paying $20 a piece for this Target exclusive set, but just, the size in general.

They’re alright, but their joints tend to pop off easily when transforming them. I only got the Race Car and Hot Rod Patrols and the Micron Micromasters set more because I liked the characters rather than interest in the toys themselves

It's wild to me that this isn't the main way people collect here but I guess I am also autistic as fuck. If I don't like a character I'll probably never buy a toy of them regardless of how cool it is. This probably limits me far more than most people on here but it saves me a lot of money too so eh

I’m usually the same way but you better believe I sat down and watched all of BWII and BWNeo for the first time in order to justify getting Magmatron because I thought he looked cool when he was revealed

if I care about a character, but the toy is more than just a bit flawed? Fuckit, he's out. i'll wait for a new better one.

Holy based
I kinda plan on doing the same thing because a lot of the Neo designs look nuts. I heard this toy was kinda ass to handle but if he's poseable I could get over that.
>>11637100
I'm the exact opposite to you. I feel like I'd end up with a full shelf in no time if I was just hipfiring based on designs.

My issue with a lot of the BW toys is that the joints don't make sense with the normally smooth beast modes. It's the reason Transformers are the only toys I collect, the "jointyness" on every other action figure just looks unnatural when it's on skin or cloth.

I'm not, I just wish there was something that size. Minicons were the only Transformers I was allowed to get as a kid and I have a huge nostaliga tied to that "size class." Picrel is the first set I ever got and considering the prize I'm very tempted to pick them up for the nostalgia.

Micromasters are all cars or flattened trucks or tanks that involve flipping the legs over and being done
Minicons comes in every shape and transformation sequence

My Silver Rathalos/Liolaeus Prime showed up today. No need to go into full detail on him, since he's just a straight repaint of the normal red one I reviewed a little while back (meaning he has all the same issues - beast head and feet are small, Charge Blade is short, looks a bit lanky in robot mode, etc), so just some pics and a few comments.
For those wondering why a silver repaint exists at all, in the Monster Hunter games, different variants ("subspecies") exist of most monsters; differences in color usually mean differences in abilities, attack patterns, and overall strength. For Rathalos, there are three different color variations (in the canon mainline games. Other, stronger versions exist, but they're in spin-off games of questionable canonicity). Red is the average, punching-bag variety (which was also the first 'Flagship' monster, hence why Rathalos is the franchise mascot), followed by the slightly stronger Azure Rathalos, and then the final Silver Rathalos, which is the most powerful canonical form to date. 'SilverLos' is usually a G-Rank hunt, so its attacks hit as hard as an Elder Dragon, its roar can stun you unless you have the max-grade level of the Earplugs ability equipped, it loves to stay airborn and out of reach, it can spam fireballs that often leave burning areas on the ground (and are usually 100% guaranteed to inflict the Burn status if you get hit with one), and it has scales so hard that they require the maximun Weapon Sharpness available (either Purple or White depending on the game) for your attacks to not bounce off of it (and dulls your weapons quickly regardless, meaning lots of time spent re-sharpening your blades between attacking and dodging). It also quickly develops an immunity to Flash Bombs (you can usually only flash it 3 times before it stops working). So yeah, despite just being a repaint, this version of Rath Prime is intended to be a much, much more dangerous dude than his previous release was.

The robot modes aren't very good due to the scale but they're fine if you want Mini-Con stand-ins. Fuzer and Blast Master are a fun pair. If you pull their combined shuttle mode in half, you can flip down a couple of pegs, allowing you to attach the front half onto a figure's arm as a blaster and the back half onto the figure's back as a jetpack (both are compatible with blast effects)

If you're familiar with waterslides then stick with those. Dry transfers look better than traditional stickers but not nearly as good as waterslides. I get mine from here https://magicsquaretoys.com/product-category/decals/oceandesign/

When the hell are they making these guys? They have a great gimmick and are some of the few "new" G2 toys.

I'll probably die before these guys and a proper G2 Megatron (both versions).
