So I bought a CW devastator from some guy. Except he covered it with aftermarket stickers. Most are harmless construction stickers, but there are some unnnecessary decepticon logo's and a big DEVASTATOR sticker on the back of Hook's vehicle mode. How do I get rid of them?

Tl;dr how do I remove aftermarket stickers from CW Devastator

these are terrible, goddamn. I'd say a little rubbing alcohol and a swab, but not sure if the paint would come off with it.

I think this person ordered the Classics Devastator that was a repaint of the Energon one, thinking that it was the combiner wars one. I think it's just an old person who doesn't understand ebay, but it's still kind of funny to hear about an autistic kid getting mad at a toy for not looking like the character. He'll fit right in on /toy/ if he isn't already here.

Hey, not a bad lot for 80, there's a lot of well-designed goodness in there. IMHO, that Soundwave is still the best CHUG-like Soundwave around, he takes an enormous dump on the TR one as far as aesthetics go.

Respectfuly disagree with your opinion there mate, TR SW has a few issues (oversize helmet, chest door paint aps) he might be too big for most CHUG collections, but he has better proportions than the cybertron mold, I'd have him on my collection if i wasn't a scale fag, I still have FoC SW as my CHUG Soundwave.

I wish MP Soundwave could play MP3s. Music Label Soundwave is great but yeah he really looks more like a piece of hi-fi rather than a transformer and the bot mode definitely aged

MP Soundwave would have so much empty space that would have been perfect for electronic guts if they dropped the "can store up to three cassettebots" gimmick that just legitimately doesn't work. You could even have speakers in his empty-as-fuck legs. I suppose it wouldn't be that wise to have a gimmick literally no one would every use anyway, though.

How? I know it's a loose ass hinge connection, but if you put the drone piece back on and rotate it with very slight upward pulling, you should be able to wedge it out.

Unless you used some kind of tool and fucked it up, in which case you should just yolo it and scrape the visible part off.

The vehicle mode is the exact same shape and size as the cab from LG Ginrai, so the stock chest cage on Ginrai should work fine. I don't know if the PMOP chest cage will fit, though, since the cabs are slightly different.

Also, they advertise that you need to use PC-15's replacement head for PC-16, but apparently the stock head from PMOP/Ginrai will just barely fit if you turn it backwards or something (I forget exactly, but point is it fits)

Thanks for the warning. I got him used and his shoulder clips were half-fallen off when I got him. They clipped back on easily enough and I didn't see any stress marks when I checked, so hopefully he'll be alright.

Gave us some fantastic molds like bludgeon, mind wipe and his glorious fan mode, and seaspray to name a few. Even crab-tank megatron was pretty stellar.

High Score is a very tiny game controller, but his plastic is excellent and his transformation is pretty tight. Giant gorilla arms but good articulation otherwise.

Meantime is a watch and tallest of the ones I have, great transformation with noodly limbs that bend just right for good poses. Light piping and a good headshape. Highly recommended from myself and everyone else I've seen talk about him.

Zoomout is a video camera, small but not as small as High Score. Simple transformation, good fiddle factor. Video screen turns into beetle wings, cool feature. Arms are a little stubby but the rotation of his shoulders lets you do a lot more than you'd think.

Spy Shot's a little finicky getting back into camera mode and his wrist joints are a little tough sometimes but he's a good-looking figure and his photo camera form is good, even has a clicking button. Good light piping. Legs have good articulation but the arms are a little awkward. Has claws that open and close too.

I love all of the ones I have and if I had the space and money for them I'd probably indulge in the rest too, but these were the ones that came recommended to me.

Well, shit. I took off the panel again and this time, I examined it under high intensity light. Sure enough, the stress marks are there even though they're really hard to see.

After some painful deliberation, I've decided to just not put them back on at all. I don't want to deal with having to worry about when they'll break, especially because the rest of him are so solid, it'd be such a shame to force myself to tiptoe around him because of the shoulders.

Alt-mode kinda suffers, but if I squint enough I barely notice it...

My personal review of all the molds, from the experience of having owned at least one version of each at some point and still having a couple around:

>Binoculars (Longview / Farsight)
Cool robot design and the binoculars themselves are neat but there's something about how plain they look that never really clicked for me. Still, I would say Longview is worth it for how rare it is to have a yellow movie figure that isn't Bumblebee.

>Cellphones (Highline / Speed Dial / Wire Tap)
Great mold all around, the cellphones look like realistic mid-2000s flip phones and the drone-eyed robots are incredibly adorable.The transformation is a little rudimentar but that's hardly a detractor. Highline probably has the best deco, but the other two still look great.

>Compact camera (Spy Shot / Photon)
Literally one of the greatest "Basic-sized" figures ever made. The camera looks great, the unsymmetrical transformation is absurdly genius and god, that bizarre but nonetheless beautiful retro-ish robot design, it's just glorious. Spy Shot looks the best as a robot but Photon feels slightly more realistic as a camera, even though they both could easily pass off as actual compact point-and-shoots at first glance.

>Watch (Meantime / Midnighter)
Interesting transformation and lots of poseability, but the overall design of both modes feels a little bland for me. imho, they could both be passed, although I do know they have a "micro appreciation fanbase" of sorts which would argue otherwise.

>MP3 player (Night Beat / Booster)
The MP3 player is easily the most lazy design in the entire subline but the Lazerbeak-based robots are pretty much perfect. Night Beat is negligible but Booster is totally worth getting, he even has a decent amount of articulation in his feet and wings.

>Gameboy (Hacker / Power Up)
As far as I love the concept of Gameboy-based bots they are both unfortunately rather bland, neither modes look particularly remarkable and the transformation really isn't all that interesting. If something, Power Up has a neat deco, but there really isn't much to them otherwise.

>Video Camera (Zoom Out)
Yet another badass kino mold that just shows why this subline was so goddamn good. The camera looks great, with all sorts of sculpted details from buttons to a neat fold-out screen, and the robot is basically the closest there is to a proper CHUG Reflector. There's just something so charming to his stubby design and his color palette, I would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat.

>Vidya controller (High Score / Twitcher)
Easily the most interesting and unique robot design in the subline, gotta love how he looks like an angry little dude. The controller feels a little too small for something Xbox-based but still, he also looks great in that mold nonetheless. Twitcher my favorite deco but most people seem to prever the classier look of High Score.

If you only have to choose one then Spy Shot would definitely be my pick but, if you're willing to go further that, then Zoom Out, Longview, Highline, Booster and Twitcher are probably the figures in the series. The others are also good enough in their own merit, even the most mediocre molds like the Gameboy and the watch have some charisma to them, but those six are the ones I would personally pick. Hope this helps, anon!

Stacked pieces work fine, otherwise they became kibble that gets in the way or don't look good like Cyclonus, the stacked pieces also are accurate to some models like Blackout.

So it turns out that in Takara's fiction, Trypticon has a similar power to his TR toy. Anything he eats grants him more power, but having humans, transformers, and beasts from the legends universe inside him grant him a truckload of power.

He basically has the similar powers to the Godmaster, the powers Ginrai gains in his chapter (mostly the beast, and human energy), on steroids do to all the people he had inside him.

So Trypticon has probably been elevated into the strongest transformer in their fiction. Hell, even exploiting a weakness and Metroplex using his chest beam, he still survived relatively unscathed, a testament to his strength.

That page is forever posted out of context.

Starscream is using Airachnid to mess with Blast Off's dream to produce a saccharine, sappy make-believe perfect life for him where Onslaught cares about anything other than crushing his enemies. He does this to buy Blast Off's cooperation as he modifies the other constructicons into believing they work for him (starscream). By offering to make Onslaught-senpai notice him, he wants to use Blast Off to convince the others that everything's fine and dandy and normal because as a combiner they're resistant to mind manipulation unless there's an inside force pushing that agenda.

In the real world, Onslaught is not having wet sloppy makeouts and sappy love recitations with Blast Off. He pretty much has literally done what Starscream promised, which is to notice Blast Off. And that's it. And it's all obviously a setup for future drama to come crashing down on Screamer's head.

Retconed back then in the marvel comics as fake memories implanted by the quintesson, the whole "Primus vs Unicron, gaver of life vs destructor brothers" started with Marvel UK, IDW took a lot of marvel ideas and characters.

Zoomout is by far my favorite as he almost passes for a real camera (from the front-- great fake lens, fake viewfinder) in alt mode, and his hands are little articulated claws for grabbing non-toy objects, which I feel is optimal for posing/photographing these 'Real Gear' dudes. Great piping for his red eyes, too. Only gripe I have is his arms are a bit weird both for posing and for the transformation, but still highly recommended cuz they're definitely not bad

Only if someone at a Third party company REALLY wanted them made. Oh, and remember that the Zone generals have two sets of armor, so pray the one you like gets made.

And oh boy, pray even harder that the hypothetical armor for Trypticons doesn't break the bank, his could easily break 100 or even 150 on his own since among the things they have to add for the kit to work, is new arms with better articulation so they can hold the club better.

Also:

>Takara making the armor sets

>>6505623
The Takara's whiter, doesn't have the build imperfections you'll very likely need to correct on the SDCC, more paint applications (like the red on the shoulders), no chrome, and certain areas being cast in white plastic instead of black (like the ramp on the right boob).

if they changed scourge's upper body and arms then yes, could very well work for her

>>windblade is a retool of the highbrow/scourge tooling set
All they share is the waist estension engineering and /maybe/ the thigh pieces. I wouldn't really call that a retool.

And honestly yeah, I would've been ok with a Scourge retool too. That probably would have been better even.

Really highbrow and scourge are just hollow shells with the waist extension piece between them and the same thighs.

If you want to be nice then sure, they just share engineering, but they share the same common set of parts, allowing visually different toys with a mostly new transformation between the 3, if anything windblade is closer to highbrow because she also has aircraft backpack syndrome.

In all honesty the only guys that could ever give an idw accurate nautica would be 3p unless takara mp's suddenly go in that direction but by that time I think most of us would be dead

TR introduced Marvel legends part sharing into transformers, people gets confuse it with remolding but its quite different, Blurr and Chromedome and their thights and they are clearly different molds, just like Scourge and Windblade.

That's the most flattering pic of TR Windblade that I've seen so far.

Just wait for the set to go cheaper, all box sets eventually do.

Wasn't getting that set, just wanted a TF reaction image. It was CW Bruticus, the only combiner I missed the first time around, the auction wasn't much cheaper but included Shockwave. Fuck it though, I bought a different listing and now I own it, just sucks to watch something that nobody else seems interested in for days only to have it yanked out at the last second.

Easy transformation and shell forming are quite different. Pick related is a reat example of a simple transformation that's smart instead of lazy, with only a small panel on his back as kibble.

Also see the legends class especially Cosmos and Shockwave.

I wish he showed up here. The entire second wave of Titan Masters never showed around here, and I ain't shelling out 10 mcnuggets for a 5 buck head.

Still, I may be tempted to grab that EX head master set since it has Brawn too.

And Saint Warden, Patron of Beancounters, bless them for that.
I only buy transformers for the engineering, and since a lot of characters are getting several versions across toylines nowadays I can live with skipping the Gen version to get the Adventure, RID, or Movie version.

IDW has been running from the Marvel origin of the Transformers since day one as far as denying Primus/Unicron created the Transformers.

Part of this was due to Simon Furman; a condition of him going to work for IDW was an iron-clad embargo on Unicron as Furman REALLY got pissy when fans shitted on an arc he did on the Dreamwave Armada comic, which had all sorts of Unicron wank in it from Furman.

Even now that Furman is long gone from the Transformers, they STILL won't let anyone touch Unicron. They might as well go full tilt and have the Quints show up as the makers of the Transformers, while they are at it
