Generation Toy's Devy is the current go-to one. Assuming you have around $600 to blow, anyway.

...Yeah, 3P combiners are...Not the best thing for people just getting into 3P stuff. The price tags are outrageous for a full set and any of the "cheap" ones are only cheap because they're absolutely shit and stores literally can't get rid of them.

If $600 is too much to swallow, there is a GT KO currently being produced. Only 2 limbs are currently out, with 1 more supposedly due out at the end of the month. I was sadly eBay China scammed for this one, but it has me contemplating completing the set.

Aren't he and the smaller DJD guys getting reprints around now-ish? They went up to like 90+ though, so you wouldn't really even be saving that much getting a new one, if that $100 is shipped you might as well.

And I probably say this every time he comes up, but he's easily my favorite transformer, and maybe my favorite toy in general? Get it.

He's the best we're going to get at the scale. Sculpt is great, articulation is great. Accessories are great though he lacks a weapon which is fine given the source material. There was some reports of thin, sloppy paint and some funky tolerances on the joints you might have to tighten or loosen. Mine is mostly fine, though the sliding arm panels were way too tight the first transformation and lining up the legs for alt mode can be a bitch.

>>6415484
I caved for 105 shipped after I missed the first run and failed to scrape one up after 6 months of looking. Obviously YMMV, and check all the usual retail places before you do, but he's fucking amazing and I'd say yes. There's a reason he's so rare on the secondary market.

It's cool for those that want it but there comes a point where you might as well have just made an entirely new figure.

PC-15 - 34.99
PC-16 - 59.99
LG-EX God Ginrai - 164.99
and now this which will probably be around 40

That's nearly 300 bucks.

Generally his calling card are parallel line detailing and excessive ridge detailing that covers huge swathes of area on a figure. Usually odd proportions in the arms and legs accompany the greeble and his own spin has been added to a design to the detriment of the figure. Reused joints and hand sculpting typically accompanies designs he has worked on. MMCs reformatted line has the most sark designed stuff, but KFC has used him on occasion. Generally Mmc has someone go over the designs first and revise a bunch of shit, but the gist is still there. Some designs come out OK like the road buster impactor, and carnifex molds, others are disasters like hexitron and lock down. You can see the difference between the Mmc djd and mmc sark designed items.

Someone post the original carnifex and feral Rex renders before Mmc changed them. I know full body shot exists for overlord but Rex just had teasers.

Rearend, Hurricane upgrade, Knight Morpher Screecher and one of the Azalea bots.

I'm really amazed that the Azalea girl morphs down to the same size as Tailgate's altmode. And Tailgate has ended up being the first 3p to draw blood on me, those edges on his thighs are pretty sharp.

Cyclonus can't hold his sword though, his hands are just a hair too small, I need to find something to just sand off a tiny bit of plastic in there.

Whiny bitch here. The things I had that were problematic that seem not 100% are; panels popping out willy-nilly, too-thick sword-tab, unpainted toe-strap, clunky transformation, sheathe/backpack not being secure, and finger poppage. Universal issues are KFC-like hands, hip-skirt grinding, and the sheer number of moving parts when it comes to getting him into any pose, including shitty shinguards that rotate and need resetting with any motion. If you have Master Made TItan, it's like his shins but literally ten times worse, with a crappy peg that needs to seat in to keep it from wobbling around (until it pops out next thing).

I like him, he's very expressive, with his double jointed neck. So he can look AAAAAALL the way up (as part of his transformation) A lot of joints are really stiff, like everything that isn't a ball joint, and as I said, by careful when you transform him, some of his edges are sharp as hell. If you wanted a tailgate to be an adorable little ball of adorableness, you'll be really happy. He's got good poseability, especially in his double jointed legs, arms aren't though. Shoulders have a nice hinge I didn't know about to really get him out to a T-pose though.

I have Not-Repugnus. Got Not-Doublecross sitting in a loot pile. Put simply, Repugnus is a great bot. Everything on mine was solid...Except for one thing. He had a problem on his left shoulder that loosened the ratchet. I contacted FH, and they sent me an entirely new shoulder assembly and showed me how to swap it out. It's now perfect as far as I can tell.

The ratchets are solid, no looseness or other issues. Only downside other than the issue I mentioned on my copy of the figure, is that he's light on accessories. You get a rifle, no way to store it on the figure, and thats it.

Would have been great if we got anything similar to the poll pictures we were given to judge who would win :^)
But no, instead we had to get a faithful adaptation of the original toy/animation model.

I was excited for Scorponok, but now that I know it's going to look like his dumpy G1 toy, or his dumpier (somehow?) animation model, my hopes and dreams lie solely on Perfect Effect getting off their ass and making that Scorponok they teased years back.

My only options for a big g1 skorponok is going to be hastak though and I would prefer an actually quality product on my shelf instead of a children's playset.

Basically I want a sentinel gigantic action skorponok that actually transforms and isn't made of gossamer thin plastic and compromise like hastak's will be.

I got him for $325 during Black Friday last year. I fucking adore him. Only issue is literally some stress marks on the INSIDE of his shins (where you store his spare ammo cartridges), I've also dropped him on his ass twice and chipped a tiny bit of plastic on either hipskirt, so just make sure he's somewhat leaning forward (because his Disney-sized feet keep him from falling forward, not so much back).

This isn't even about G1 though. We've had plenty of Prime figures outside of G1 and even pretty far into Cybertronian territory that pulled off both modes well and were well articulated. Being Cybertronian in design isn't an excuse for looking like a mess in alt mode.

Man, if Chaos is considered the lowest point yet, and the current stuff is only near Chaos, I'm beginning to think people just have too high standards for what to expect in a comic.

And speaking of the comic, why is MMC just about the only company giving us IDW-ized versions? Theres a ton of nice designs in IDW but MMC is pretty slow and almost no one else seems to want to try to do those designs.

>Can you give me a rundown?

If you buy the volumes, they're roughly in chronological order. The /co/ mega is in autistically chronological order. Either way you'll get the story. Just remember it wasn't released in chronological order, it had to be put in that order.

>What should I and shouldn't I read? Is there a point where it becomes shit and I should stop reading?

Read it all. The lows aren't any lower than any other comic out there, and the highs aren't any higher. Overall the series has been good. The lowest agreed upon point is the Chaos storyline, which is just...Kind of there. Main villain was extremely poorly named, as said above.

All Hail Megatron is a distinct point where the continuity gets a bit weird, because it doesn't account for some stuff that happened before it, but it was essentially a launch point for everything after it. It's probably the most major event in the comics, because even today it's still being referenced and it's the reason why Earth is a bunch of a shitbags (rightfully so though).

>How long is the whole series?

It's pretty long, and still ongoing. Currently though some of it has left a bad taste in peoples mouths because the ending to Season 2 of Lost Light was so incomprehensibly botched that it's the next lowest point in the entire series next to Chaos. It's so low people think MMC's DJD might not get completed because it left such a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

You guys may surely know about this, but Maketoys have a sale.
http://maketoys.jp/shop/product-category/half-decade-deals/
At last, Despotron, the 3P Megatron I always wanted, is at a reasonable price at 99$US. The 16$US flat rate shipping is awesome too. But furthermore, there is some hidden sales when you select the shipping option. For 20$US more, you can either get their tiny not-Seaspray and Powerglide.
But if you chose just the flat 16$ of shipping, another hidden deal pop out at the very end of checkout.

Add 20$US and you get the Citybot Armageddon set, without box. That's 100$ off! I love my YOTS Omega Supreme but I noped at the price of that kit years ago. But for 20 bucks, sign me up!

Anyone here who have either Despotron or the Citybot Armageddon set already?

From all the shit I heard about it I was gearing up for like $300 of buyers remorse, but I donno, I was cool with it and I still like the figures. The group of fanatical murders turned out to be nuts, megatron wrecked house, aside from overlord showing up I had no real beef.

Probably around $100. Maybe $120. Normal retail for the mold is $90.

I liked the look of the mold though I didn't care for their Trailbreaker or hoist since they were so bland. But this thing is calling me. The yellow makes it pop and the extra bits on the vehicle hiding away makes it work. I hope PSX has a few of them after the con.

A review just dropped. They smoked the windshield from photoshoot prototype which is great. It still isn't the sexy sky blue I wanted but you can't see through it like you can in the picture.

Anyone who doesn't buy production copies with their own cash like an actual customer is a potential shill, because as we've seen with Susanoo, companies can and will send a better copy out for review, and then sell garbage copies.

Less than $80 bucks too, supposedly.

Nicely done but why not make your first big "affordable 3P" splash with a character no one else is making?

Pretty much but he does provide some overview of how the new parts fit into the chest and what not.Though he didn't note that floppy as fuck ankle at all.

Even if I wasn't on board with the design it seemed like an improvement over the ROTF Bludgeon. Such a disappointment.

so If I want him would it be a good idea to spend an extra $10 to get in early? It's been stated that this figure has a very limited supply, but the price might deter some people from swooping in and taking them all.

I have no experience when it comes to convention exclusives and am hoping i'm just paranoid.

Because it's specifically meant as a giant middle finger to Fans Toys.
