Criticize the leaders of Cybertron for their tacky stickers and weird shoulder joint policies. Or go ahead and learn nippon for the hopefully painted ones in seven months. Whatever you do don't mention combiners.

Triggerhappy anon from last threat. Just got a $20 Walgreens card for birthday. And my list of best Deluxe for me was definitely Triggerhappy. Had a look at a couple of deluxe toys at the store. Not a fan of TR Brainstorm.

So the order I goes for me.

>Triggerhappy
>Hardhead/Quake
>???

Who should be a strong third choice in this line for me? Doesn't matter if Bot or Con just the best third overall. I want to do some hunting anyway. Thanks in advance if a kind anon still wants to help. :)

A shame he is alone and that Botcon tards refused to adopt him into their "fiction" because they had to make ANOTHER fucking Alpha Trion, now that Prime Ratchet retool is the captain of the Star Seekers for whatever reason. So glad their convention is dead now.

Some do have shitty paint but it's rare. My TFP Rumble's paint was chipping on the shoulders and abdomen without me touching it.

I've been playing fall of cybertron.
I'd love it if they made a more fleshed out multiplayer focused game with a more robust custom character maker
I wish i could mod, i've been thinking of ways they could implement the more niche transformers
>Tool class: Transformers that have stationary alt modes that provide support. Like perceptors microscope that can shoot a healing beam. Or soundwaves boombox that lets you control his cassette robots, and will let you see enemies through walls while its active. Another one would be Galvatron's gun turret.The downside of the alt modes being that they are totally stationary and only provide buffs or support to your team.
>Titan master: bigger robots, with an ejection mechanic. If you take too much damage the headmaster will separate and you take control of him. They are super small and weak, but if you survive long enough you can get a new body. (think D.Va from overwatch)
>Action Master: lets you trade your alt mode for more weapons or secondary abilities.

Furthermore the original 4 classes get more variety on their alt modes. Fall of cybertron had decent variety what with Insecticons and Dinobots being included, but i'd like to add constructicons, sharkticons, and terrorcons, as well as any other vehicles that could possibly fit.

[spoiler:lit]and if someone can figure out how to make pretenders into a fun class be my guest. I dont think it can be done.

Introduce AOE attacks like emps and poison gas. The Pretender class would be impervious to these in their pretender shell as well as having more health and armor at the cost of no abilities. Once their shell is destroyed they're somewhere between scout class and titan master. The shells of the pretenders each have their own unique passive ability in addition to being impervious to aoe nerfs.

No. Devastation was at its best when you were fighting whordes of enemy Decepticons, multitasking their different attack types and working out ways to counter-attack, or whether you should just transform and fall back, or bust out a special attack. The action in the cartoon was never as exciting or fluid.

The game being good had everything the do with the gameplay and very little to do with the geewunner nostalgia pandering bullshit.

maybe pretenders could be the 'multi class'. You could pick one class, and its shell could be one of the other classes.
Essentially your transformer would have two robot modes instead of a vehicle, but he could switch fluidly from a speedy scout to a titan.

Optimus doesn't look bad either. I forget what legends class figures we've seen, but like you I enjoy small figures so I'll probably get some of those if they're good as well.

I need to stop looking for upgrade kits with a particular idea in mind, I always ended up disappointed. Literally the only thing I wanted are a replacement sword handle and shield handle so he can hold them the "proper" way more easily.

Whenever they tied stuff down like that it always fucks it up, I don't understand why they pack things like that.

I can imagine the raging frustration at Hasbro hq during the design process.

The kfc hands offer the nice articulated fingers but the ball joints there can be a bit tricky and a few times one of the pinky fingers popped off.

But what is bullshit about them is that they make you rely on friction to insert it in. The regular hands are pegged in a fixed position that's locked in place forcing you to rotate his forearm instead of his hand. The kfc offers a hand swivel but it can be loose because it just pegs in there without anything locking it.

Also KFC gives you a really tiny phillips screwdriver but please use a JIS screwdriver especially for the tiny screws in his elbows.

I don't. Not now anyway. It'll be a G1 cartoon-accurate piece of shit with no detail and an absurd price point. I much prefer MP-10's mix of cartoon/toy/new ideas, it's such a great look for Prime, even if it isn't the most poseable. And even then, it's not like it's bad, you can still get plenty of shapes out of him. He's just not as flexible as newer figures like Hot Rod or Megatron.

I think it's funny that MPs are getting more and more complex and poseable when the core G1 fans often don't transform or play with them, and just stick them on a shelf in brick poses, anyway.

But MP-10 did have new ideas. The narrower front-edge of the feet, the stylization of the shin vents, the octagon-shaped fuel tanks, the transparent plastic on the waist, not to mention the entire head sculpt and all of the molded details, and the overall streamlining of the alt. mode, none of which were present on the G1 toy or cartoon.

This kind of natural evolution of design was present on all of the MPs from about 10 to 25. Now they just look EXACTLY like the cartoon. If a bit of detail wasn't present on the animation cels, it's not present on the MP.

If MP-10 was 99% cartoon accurate, it would have white thighs, a blockier alt mode, no silver on the leg vents, bigger, square windows, and an entirely different head sculpt, because the one it has looks neither like the cartoon or the toy.

My only preference is towards not seeing someone post the exact same opinion over and over when it doesn't even relate to anything people are talking about. It's like they are just compelled to end every post with "...and also the cartoon sucked". Is it b8? Is it autism? Is it a real thought that he just needs to keep sharing with the rest of us every time he has it? I don't get it.

Of course they'd have to remove some of the panel details present unless they make a new mold, why takara haven't done this is beyond me

The masterpiece line has, and always will be, a high end collectors line.

But it has went through 3 generations with the third and current being a slow but steady event that has only just become the direction of the line

>mp01-mp09
Bloated with gimmicks, mechanical details, large use of diecast in its earliest offerings, but with no consistency in art style nor scaling, mp09 was the foreshadowing of the next direction
>mp10-mp29
This was where things became a little more consistent, mp10 gave us a yardstick with his trailer (if it fits its scaled correctly if meant to be smaller than him) and many of the figures were still stylized enough to make up for the cut back on gimmicks and diecast (thankfully larger figures still had diecast and only where it mattered to the figure's stability and not for show), and while it crept in from time to time (mp22's bot mode was almost purely from the show but the truck details were mp10's "almost real" truck mode) it wasn't until mp29 that the shift was confirmed here to stay, and said shift for some was hard to swallow considering the source material can vary wildly
>mp30-40
Show accuracy is the norm now, some benefit from this from an engineering standpoint (mp inferno and his retools could of had ladder kibble if that's an issue) and looks (specifically mp beast wars, you can't make animals like that stylized in this line) it can be detrimental to others depending on preference (mp36 is a great example being all front heavy in the looks and the engineering is just show boating with no concern for the consumer unlike past mp's which were kinda fun to work out), the return of gimmicks in more iconic figures is nice but can have one asking questions.

Where can we go next I wonder, show accurate transformations, 3.0's, maybe automorph that allows for articulation retention, who knows, all I can say is I'm excited for where we end up going.

Also I do believe mp29 is directly responsible for why mp36's entire body is painted

I was hyped about the line at first but the dinobots look awful, four waves have leaked and it's pretty much confirmed that they won't make the Turbomasters or the Predators, Hun-Grr is a failure so getting the Terrorcons is pretty much out of the question for me, Volcanicus looks terrible, I'm not too interested in any of the other voyagers and leaders, and the pretenders look awful.

I think I'll only get a couple of the legends, Dreadwing and Darkwind, maybe Jazz, and maybe Predaking if it's at least a competent try unlike Devastator; a Predaking in the style of CW Devastator would partsform the forearms and render Divebomb and Rampage pretty much useless.

As an MP-01 apologist, I'll have to admit that sort of sucks - but then again, maybe making the arms just a little longer would ruin how A E S T H E T I C S the overall design is?

imho, MP10 is not necessarily objectively superior to MP01 since it depends a lot on exactly what you might value in a figure, but I'll have to agree MP10 is by far the better engineered toy. That's also my main gripe with him though, he sacrifices some overall aesthetics and display value for the sake of just being playable, and as a result he just isn't as imposing and badass as MP01.

That they aren't painted the way you like doesn't mean they aren't painted.
Even Blurr has the entire shield painted in light blue because they didn't have the foresight to cast it on a different color and the cockpit is also painted because they used transparent plastic for it.

At this point you can't even say you know what you're talking about when you can't see something that obvious.

The cannon is dipped in paint, the crotch and abdomen are slated in three diferent colors, all the threads are painted including the ones that are not part of a bigger gray piece, and the shins are also painted int two colors.
They could've used that paint for the head or at least cast the figure in a metallic gray but decided to be aggravating faggots like you are being now.

It's a different economy, lad. Physical toys just don't interest kids these days as much as it did, and Murrican parents don't want to spend that much for them. And as much as you'd like to deny it, we collectors are still very much in the minority when it comes to the Western toy market. Toys stateside need to be cheap by necessity. Hasbro needs not an excuse for cheap toys, as they already have reasons for them.

So yes, I can definitely compare them.

No, you can't, because they're doing it for two completely different reasons

Takara did arms micron to appeal to the customizing demographic. Hasbro is doing it to cheap out.

Have any source to confirm this? because they still limited the custom options painting some minor details and the heads, some even had the glossy finish that prevents paint to stick.

Takara only did it for one line as a gimmick instead of constantly cost cutting shit across multiple lines, so yes, it actually is ok when Takara does it. Because they're doing it temporarily and for reasons other than cost cutting.

from tfwiki
>In an interview in Dengeki Hobby magazine, TakaraTomy designers Takashi Nakase and Hironori Kobayashi explained the reasons Microns played so heavily into the Japanese Prime line when it wasn't designed that way from the start:
>Takashi Nakase: The biggest reason is that we wanted to raise the target age group. In past series, the target ages were small children and their fathers, but the age group which is actually able to enjoy transforming toys is 7 ~ 9 years old. We went back to the beginning and considered appropriate products for that age group, and came up with the concept of "customising". That is why Arms Microns need to be assembled from parts, and stickers are included to be put on the main figure - to give the feeling of "completing" the toy as one's own.
>Hironori Kobayashi: We conducted a play session with children where they played freely with Movie series Transformers, mixed with various items such as Minicons, and found that they mostly enjoyed combining Minicons to make larger weapons or to customise the Transformers. We thought it might have some potential.

God yes, after Fortress Maximus came out I was hoping for a Grand Max variant and a Scorponok reissue that would hopefully have led to a GPS-free Black Zarak but no they released Fort Max and just stopped.
It's not even like they lost the pretender shell mould to do Grand Maximus, that FunPub pretender set from last year or the year before included it for Megatron.

God yes, I haven't checked prices of him lately but I'd try and go for the Encore one, it's just so satisfying getting one in a complete package, no decals applied, unboxing a brand new classic toy.
I'd try and track down a Scorponok to go with him too, despite the obvious size difference they look great together and they're both wonderful b̶r̶i̶c̶k̶s̶ toys.

But that's exactly why we love them so much though, they're wonderfully charming bricks with a very pleasing and distinctive aesthetic. I still have to get my TR Fort Max before going into the Encore but he's certainly on the list, thanks for reminding me about him anon.

I found another video review of Takara's MPM4. It's starting to seem like the problem is fixed on this, though this review did explain that the doors still had a small gap in the panels, which is apparently easily fixable by just trimming down the tabs on the windows.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hJ3OhcOgGw

Interestingly enough, they also highlight a missassembly issue on this toy that's present on the Hasbro version as well, where two hinges are on the wrong side. It's fixable, but takes pin punching.

Some collectors will buy whatever is put on retail, like those guys that despised Animated but bought repeats to display, but kids will ask for whatever it was they liked on TV or whatever they think looks cool so there's no issue if collectors are pandered to.

Collectors aren't in the majority though. And if you haven't noticed, TakaraTomy is always better for collectors, no exceptions. But it's okay when Hasbro does it though BECAUSE of the cost cutting, because that strategy keeps Hasbro's selection affordable to those who buy toys who are not collectors.

You're probably thinking transformers armada. Was there a combiner team made from a bike, skateboard, and a scioter?

Only series I can remember megatron getting resurrected is Tf Prime. Then again I don't remember beast machines or RID

I just realized I completed a mini goal I had of getting a figure for all playable Devastation characters (which is what got me into TFs again). Pretty cool, I guess.

For my next goal, I should set up a proper photo area and buy a proper camera.

I didn't know they made new molds for Fort Max. I did hear the QC was kind of iffy on him though.

But it wasn't just Fort Max that killed the line. It was Metroplex, Omega, and Skylynx too. Or, rather, poorfags begging and pleading and screeching for these bigger toys to be reissued and then not buying them when they were.

I really wanted an Encore Wheeljack (and more 1984/1985 since they were using the classic boxes). I thought maybe it'd happen because the smaller toys were doing well. Then Takara drifted into this larger size class stiff that nobody was going to buy.

They should've learned their lesson with Devastator. I remember taking a couple to a con and having some Edgy MGEdgington Goatboy lookalike shriek "HOW DARE TAKARA" at me. He was outraged that the set cost $100. Come on. The last time they sold it was 20 years earlier in G2 and even then it was almost $40. A small run import with 2 decades of inflation is going to be just a little more expensive!

Seemed like it took forever for the "anime accurate" version to clear out at online stores too. But that was a dirty trick, hitting us with that after the straight reissue.

I guess you forgot where they had earlier claimed that collectors were less than 10%. That it's now 20% shows GROWTH in the collector market. While everybody is crying that kids are less and less interested in toys.

So, yeah, let's cater to the shrinking demogrpahic and ignore the growng one. Because I r smrt amirite?

You're talking about a company that cancels toys and then sells them at conventions for a markup with the lame excuse of "well it didn't fit the theme or the play pattern of the retail line", like fuck they can make a smart choice.

I mean, Brian Goldner greenlit a Jem movie sequel, and as I recall that movie did so poorly that I think it was regarded as the worst film of 2015.

Oh crap, the SJemWs are going to get mad because I pointed out the fact their movie bombed. Jerry Only is the Misfits, not your feminazi middle-aged dyke with lines on her face.

But now that I have the reissued Trypticon, I want Omega too so I can have all the motorized walkers. Ah well, one day.

If by buyers preferences they mean the blue rings around the feet, the autobot logo in between the abs and yellow lights on the diecsast abs

Not even a Hasbrokek, but painting the entire body skeleton in a bland near-white grey plastic instead of a darker and denser shade does feel like a Hasbro-tier move. Real victors recognize when they lose a battle, and I honestly have no choice but to recognize Takara dropped the ball on this one.

Well as said, its buyers preference.

On one you got the admittedly nicer dark grey, problem is the lack of paint on the gas tanks and on some areas really does stick out more with the dark grey, the other its either nicer pinstripes for the flames or you get those missing paint details for the robot mode.

What's funny to me is mine would be 90% of the time in robot mode and he's coming in truck mode, oh the irony.

Oh well, ironically he works out cheaper than the hasbro one if only because he's sharing a bunk with mp artfire
