I dunno, I just really, REALLY wish we got a curvy version of him. Takara's shoulders aren't enough. I miss his fender shoulder pads.

Got Trypticon today and immediately clipped a ring off the springs. Works like a charm.

Base mode is a hell of a lot better than Fort Max's, color scheme matches Six Shot pretty well, and I wish the ship's cockpit's canopy opened up to seat a deluxe figure.

Anything interesting about the figure not listed, like some easter egg?

Kup seems to be a very polarizing figure. Geewunners say they hate him because he doesn't match the cartoons, but people who like good toys say they love him because he's a good toy. Par for the course in this fandom, I guess.

My only complaint with Kup is that they went and gave each version different arms rather than just giving it different faceplates as usual.
The arms on the TR Kup are disgusting, but the head on the LG Kup is disgusting.

Or because his face sculpt looks like ass and his arms look completely wrong and ruin his silhouette. He looks like a generic box man who has banana lips for some reason.

Voyager Megatron works for some, largely depends on your tastes. Typticon has bad hip ratchets that can destroy themselves but this can be solved by disassembling them and cutting the springs a bit.

Because Hasbro slummed those details. Whatever their intent, it was just a poor job done, but the INTENT was to have it based on IDW Kup, who now has a starring role in a new comic alongside a bunch of other characters you don't care about.

squared heads only worked with characters designed to be headmasters from the getgo. Forcing it on characters not meant to be headmasters hurt the design aesthetics, which is a real problem when the very point of Generations is to appeal to older fans who supposidely have an appreciation for the history behind these character designs.

So yeah, fuck Titans Return, so glad it's over.

Hasbro for some reason made him look like his toy and the Marvel comics, whereas Takara went by the show. Thankfully I'm a fan of the Marvel comics - I'd be obligated to pick him up if/when I pick up Hot Rod

But is he a good figure? From what people have said, the QC was somewhat over the place?

I felt like I wanted some diecast in my diet but I also wanted a slugslinger, thankfully a good weeb shop had some tlk gasha things and because they're sitting loose I grabbed me an autobot and decepticon emblem, dunno what to do with them but I could bling out people in them I guess.

The 2 jars of paint are an attempt to replicate mp36's grey without the sparkles.

So my thoughts on slugslinger, he lacks the niftiness of triggerhappy and feels more like a straight retool of misfire, transformation is exactly the same between them and lacks the torso twist, but y'all already knew this.

Joints, nice and tight, tighter than my misfire infact which is the best part about him, and the toy sticker tampos help him stand out because frankly his color palette is shit, I'm considering using some silver gundam marker or even liquid chrome to "fix" that.

There are 2 issues hwoever, first is design, like the g1 coneheads his wings seem a bit intrusive, they can fold back but the arms still clip into them so if you're anal about clearance this counts as a knock, personally I like the generations seeker mold so this is nothing.

Paint work is usual hasbro sloppiness but mine is quite tolerable, pic related is one of the ones I left on the pegs however because of a fucking weird ass qc issue with the face

>he's wearing a white mask over his white face
See that square indentation over his mouth area, that isn't a piece of plastic protecting his head that is just how his paint is done, mine's recess isn't as bad as pic related but he has it, and the area above his actual eyes isn't even painted (as if the painters said "this is too hard" and just left it) making it look lazy as fuck, the saving grace is his titan master's own head is painted (much like misfire's) so overall flawed by paint but does the job otherwise.

I'm also officially done with tr and possibly legends until we see what takara does with the POTP molds, frankly I need a large size rodimus and if its not the leader coming its the tweaked ko of mp09 that doesn't have exploding knees, but those are shipping without a box in a damn bag so no thanks

Triggerhappy (his mouthplate seems to have a small hair trapped under it after painting, first bought him when people were raving about him and thus at the time he was hard to find so stuck with it)

None are perfect but I do love them all equally, just a matter of making their new target masters, if I had of known takara was doing their target masters you'd know where I'd go instead

>colors
while the colors on the hasbro are varied enough (more than some figures) I just find the takara's a better fit for me even before they tweaked them

Overall for me at least its just preferences, if takara's only changed the head and left the rest as is or KEPT the hasbro head but gave him a target master as the only change (other than deco) I would of passed.

Really I don't give a fuck about his target master its just the changes match what I want

Because they're not making business decisions, they're making "money making" decisions. They're not out to be a good business, they're out to pad their own wallets and look good before shareholders. And they don't care about the sorts of problems that creates.

Thats where the problem stems from.

Sweetie, I have news for you...

Look, Hasbro vs 3p is pretty much asking a company that sells millions of units at a very good markup to invest in a venture to sell thousands of units at a not so great markup. On top of dealing with American stupidity when it comes to toy safety.

If you think that makes good business sense, don't quit your job at McDonald's.

That explains why they are dedicating a few years worth of their leading inhouse toyline to catering to nostalgia fags. And why they've invested money in great head sculpts and accurate face printing technology for their Marvel figures. Because they want to gut the company and stop making toys.

Perfectly logical.

More like thats why we're getting stickers, less paint than ever, and figures so hollow they'd put McDonald's toys to shame. Their design team is trying to make up for all of the flaws and tiny ass budget, but you can tell they can do so much.

Hasbro's been doing this for 30 years.

>>6501058
Hasbro's plan is for most of their customer base to be completely replaced every few years. Kids won't be able to tell they're getting an inferior product from 8 years ago when they were either toddlers or nonexistant back then.

Look at Sentai, a lot of the new designs look like shit to older collectors, but thats not the audience.

Proof of this? It seems a lot of Takaras team are the same guys that have been their for decades. Even Shogo Hasui, ne of the most beloved engineers, first worked on Armada Starscream, a crappy figure, and before the Tomy merger. He just improved with time.

No proof just remember hearing that the Tomy guys where behind the Animated line. I also remember hearing the gi joe guys coming on with CW.

The line has had so man dips and rises in quality over the years though it could be pure conjecture.

I got into the animated figures way later though so I avoided most of the glaring qc issues that would dirty up my like for them. Closest the line ever got to being art imo.

Amazon doesn't want anything to do with it until you've worked it out with the seller, usually meaning until they stop communications. Also they don't take paypal so no resort there. Probably fine with used tf's just don't ever buy like a used 360 there.

They have excellent transformations and are plenty hefty, but they have some big flaws that are hard to ignore. Their knee articulation is pretty limited, and the white plastic they use is fucking trash, it just obliterates all the sculpted detail, especially on Topspin's chest. The back kibble isn't the worst, but from many angles, it's pretty apparent how the torso is basically just a flat plate with kibble tucked behind it. Topspin's wings are ugly as shit from underneath, so I tend to pop them off and swap them whenever I transform him.

Topspin's alt. mode is pure sex, though. I basically just leave him as a spaceship 90% of the time.

>Very good markup
It's not that much of a markup actually
Stores aside from toysrus never sell at msrp, and msrp is usually no more than 20% markup AFTER shipping costs, which means hasbro makes, on a 16 dollar deluxe, roughly 12 dollars revenue.
In all likelihood, they have at most a 25% markup on that, meaning the at cost price directly from hasbro would be 9 dollars, a 3 dollar profit per figure.
Then calculate in all the profit from a line and subtract all the after production costs, like unexpected error fixes, warehouse backups, etc, and you're losing a few more dimes per figure.
Hasbro also only sells cases of toys, so they're working on the economy of scale.
This is why lighter, cheaper plastic becomes so important. A lighter toy saves money in production and in shipping, allowing their price points to be higher and their costs to be lower, maximizing their profit margins.

They're TMs but they're not HMs. The entire problem with HMs is that they ruin headsculpts and force partsforming into the toy. The TMs in POTP do neither.

They don't. On the deluxes/voyagers they only plug onto the HFG pieces. On the leaders they go in the chest cavity. It's completely separate from the toy unlike HMs where you're missing the head if you choose not to use it.

Glue a clear plastic piece to the underside of the arch (Like off a transformer packaging bubble. This is optional, but should strengthen the piece.) Hit the top piece with a blowdryer to get rid of the stressmark. Then, figure out what exactly is stressing the piece. Either stand it or modify the way you transform it.

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow.
The section with the stressmark is already broken, though.

>Then, figure out what exactly is stressing the piece. Either stand it or modify the way you transform it.
What happened on mine was that when the two pieces that go on the sides of the chest in robot mode pass by the cockpit they put pressure on the arch and that's what broke it.
They are supposed to go past the cockpit during the transformation, and they do, but they don't without stressing that part because they are too close together to the sides of the cockpit and have to be forced to pass.
I don't know if it's a common issue with the mold, I've never knew of it before this happened which is why I was asking for any step in the transformation I might have done wrongly; actually, I recall transforming it without this issue long ago so I find it really weird.

Eh, it's not THAT bad. It's not GOOD, but it's not completely terrible. He's got ankle tilts, a kinda half-assed waist swivel due to his transformation, and decent range of movement in his arms when the fuckhuge cannon isn't there to get in the way. I'd say he's "adequate". BARELY.

Honestly, I think most of the problems with the mold stem from a similar issue the Deluxe had, in that they both needed to be a size class bigger to do the things the designers were clearly trying to do with them. Had this Galvatron been a Leader class, he could have had the same sort of helmet setup that the other figures at that scale got. I doubt it would have been perfect, even then, but it would still be better than the mask.

I'm crossing my fingers for a new Galvatron in POTP. There aren't any signs of Megatron or Galvatron for the first 3 waves, and since I doubt they'll release them in Legends, or Deluxe scale and both recently got voyagers, he might be a leader.

While I think a megs-into-galvatron leader would be the shit, I doubt they'll do it given both got voyagers in TR, and there's a pretty high chance we'll be getting beast wars megatron or thunderwing as leaders and there's not much room for more than 1 or 2 more leaders.
the biggest issue they'll have with a megs-to-galvatron is that the vehicle AND robot modes are supposed to combine.
So unless Megatron turns into a pretty small tank that ultimately becomes the grey backend of Galvatron canon mode, I don't see how they'd combine in vehicle mode.

So far, they've added one Optimus and one Megatron per line since T30:

-T30: Legends Optimus and Megatron
-CW: Voyager Optimus and Leader Megatron
-TR: Leader Optimus, Voyager Optimus, and Voyager Megatron

It's very likely he's getting released, the issue is what they'll release him as. Galvatron so far seems like the likely choice, since Megatron doesn't have a weaker form to upgrade from.

So got a couple of questions

1. Anyone know anything about Titans Return Tidal Wave? Is he a good figure/good upgrade from the original Armada Tidal Wave? I never bought Broadside, so going in blind regarding the mold.

2. What's the best version of Powermaster Prime?

Was holding out for the Japanese PMP and Godbomber set simply because it was supposed to contain Hosehead and Minerva's headmaster figures. But I don't know when it's coming out. Should I keep waiting and if it's not coming out anytime soon, what are my other options? Regular PM Prime? Japanese Ginrai? Or the US release of the Ginrai retool Magnus Prime?

Armada Tidal Wave is still the better mold for the character as it was one of the best Armada molds and one of the few that was not a full-on brickformer.

TR Tidal Wave is tolerable enough but suffers from the fact that Broadside himself was a horribly conceived character due to the BS that was Hasbro deciding to make a fucking AIRCRAFT CARRIER turn into a standard size jet.

He should have been a unique mold and leader size but we TF fans have to take what we can get it seems.

Still pissed off Tidal Wave was made an exclusive to a box set while fucking Broadside, a literal who NO ONE gives a shit about, got a stand-alone retail release.

Can I pray that Hasbro learned their lesson with Titans Returns and will stop the bullshit where they release the repaint no one fucking wants (Sentinel Prime, Megatron, Laser Prime, Broadside) first and flood shelves with them, then release the original planned figure that everyone DID want upfront (Astrotrain, Blitzwing, Octane, Tidal Wave) afterwords?
