So X-Transbots and DX9's Menasors have a body made entirely from the trailer.

What about Fanstoys? Since their Motormaster entirely comprises both the truck cab and trailer, is the Menasor body just an entirely non-transforming body?

Apparently it's going to be able to transform into some kind of trailer extension for motormaster so he'll have a double trailer

Personally I would have much rather it just be a non-transforming body to just make it totally clean and as solid as possible, but probably would have made the box too big I guess.

Early in-hand review says the molds seem dated and you could see some of their Sideswipe's engineering used for them. Then again they are also relatively cheap.

Because chinks and boomers are completely addicted to G1 despite it being objectively the worst incarnation of the entire franchise. And unfortunately, in the world of independent toys kept alive by niche market (read: chink and boomer) dollars and gentleman's agreements with IP holders, you can't afford to try anything different or you'll sink like a stone.
A pity because if someone made a hyper-articulated high-end fully transforming Gigatron I'd buy the shit out of it.
But TLDR: This fandom needs a Kristallnacht to purge itself of shit-taste boomers. You'll never get rid of the chinks because they make the fucking things, but only through mass boomercide will we be free.

Because it only lasted a year and is more popular for its concept(return of vehicles and autobots/Decepticons) than the series itself.

We do get a few trickles cribbing off the reused molds from RID, though.

As good of a robot mode that is i wish the truck mode was more realistic.
As for 3p rid stuff, the only thing I personally would like is Prime but then its like what more could they improve over the mainline figure besides removing gimmicks and maybe articulated hands or something.

I mean it looks like a toy. When I get a mp version of a figure my want is it to look like a scale model of a real life vehicle.

The amount of diecast in coolsville could hurt someone, and it's a good-fitting toy too. And it cost me less than ss.

Beast Wars aired in the late 90s in Mainland China and is also considered mainstream, which is why 3Ps and Hasbro are milking it after G1 and Bayformer dried up. RID2001/Carrobots you'd have to rely on the less mainstream 3Ps like PX or FH.

Probably, which is a shame because much like their seekers I'd probably like them a lot more than NA's offering if it just got a little more polish to it. I like the MP21 lot more than the sunbow look for Bumblebee.

New Ages, they're Legends-CHAD figures. Though I will say the waist hinge on mine is SUPER fucking loose due to the morons using diecast in the feet. And before someone says "but it's to prevent them from tipping back because they're backheavy!".

No, because it doesn't prevent that, they're just backheavy, period. The diecast feet certainly don't stop it, the actual issue is they needed a bigger/fold out heel to prevent that sort of thing, Which is ironic, because the foot being diecast is what actively prevents them from having a foldout heel for stability.

How new are you that you don't know about floor polish yet? Literally fixes the waist problem AND makes it more stable because because a tighter waist joint stops them from wanting to lean back and topple themselves.

Let me clarify: I meant compared to Dr Wu's micromaster scaled mainline character figures. These guys have joints exclusively to make the combined mode more articulated like the ankle tilts and swivels, but then Galvatron and Soundblaster can't even twist their elbows.

It's called taste anon. You should get some.

G1 gets pandered to because the adults that grew up with it are the most likely to collect and have enough income for $300 toys. That's it. They have the money and will spend it.

Why would anyone cater to the people who grew up with prime or armada or energon? That generation doesnt really believe in filling their living space with objects. Lots of anti hoarding. And they make the least when adjusted for inflation for any generation since the great depression.

I'd love something like a 3p animated stuntacons that combine, or 3p ultra deluxe energon arcee, but I'll probably never get it.

Zoomers just aren't in a place or have the desire to drop a car payment on off. Rand toys.

You're in for a really big robut. It's hard to tell you "just check the TFW thread" because that thing is a behemoth; but you may have to prepare yourself for one type of QC issue or another. The problem is that, from what I've seen, there's not many that are persistently consistent.

Some have had such like manipulating the combiner joints out, needing to disassemble the figure to get access. The only issue that my set has is that Hook's right arm simple has no tension in it at all, so it just drops down to his side.

I kinda wish they did a bit more retooling on him to get closer to that alt mode. It's not a big deal because it's just as much of a nothing-burger as Galvatron's space artilary cannon and what we got does qualify as "close enough" but they could have at least removed the pillars on his collar since Straxus didn't have them they don't appear to be essential to transformation in anyway. Maybe some added wings that fold down and cover the arms (they gave SG Megs wings so there's definitely room here) and then remove the treads.

Ah well though, it's still novelty enough that they bothered to make him in ANY form so beggars can't be choosers I guess. He still looks good as-is anyway. Really hope that metallic shine on him isn't just a trick of the lighting because it looks really good.

I liked S3 a lot more than S2. How Breakdown was handled as a character still pisses me off, on top of his figure not getting localized for some reason

I'd love a 3P updated figure of Predaking.

That's pretty much the most valid way of approaching Transformers. The mindset even makes QC issues that you have to fix yourself way more tolerable, you learn a thing or two about "b-but it worked perfectly in CAD!" design flaws along the way. That being said, I do have a few Transformers that I have more than one version of because I liked the character when I was a kid.

So who do you think they will retool Mnemo into? He looks like a fun articulated bot, but that head and color layout just kills him for me. Motif is a flat line too, especially since neither of them include weapons unless you bought them from PSX, which is sold out. I really hope they make someone who doesn't have the pencil neck syndrome he currently has, but I don't know diddly shit about the IDW comics so I can't anticipate the inevitable retools.

I know CW Stunticons/Menasor gets a lot of flak for the weird design choices (Menasor's upper legs looking like he's walking on stilts), but the one thing I HATE about 3rd party Menasor is that every company treat the limb components as addon parts to pre-existing limbs on him (as opposed to being his limbs, through-and-through).

At least CW Menasor had the limb components as ACTUAL limbs.

Would you mind providing a shot of your own? The head is basically fine to me overall, but I'm still torn by how the colors are. Mostly because I have Code and Cupola, so without having read IDW, those are what I feel Chromedome's colors are like.

I haven't gone in on the trailer (particularly because I'm debating if I give that pleasure to their G2), but the one biggest issue I had was with Dragstrip, whose hood snapped off, which I know isn't an isolated issue just to me. Of course, the G2 gave me no such problems.

The little minor things were at the start with Breakdown, whose right shoulder clip piece snapped at the swivel portion the moment I moved it out from his chest. The best I can attribute that to is to a combination of perhaps the paint on it adhered at that swivel area, coupled with the piece in general being fairly thin.

Whilst cool to look at and kinda neat in a "mechanical musculature"/"Oh so THAT'S how it works" sorta way, I can't help but feel this is an ingenious solution to a problem that wouldn't exist if they'd used the far more regular way of using the hips and knees for the elbow, or even just splitting it if they insist on the godawful Sunbow Menasor look.

>the far more regular way of using the hips and knees for the elbow

Yeah but I imagine doing so would be a lot more complicated since because of the way the lower half is oriented in the arm mode, they've have to have an additional swivel to turn the legs below the knee.

I ask myself this every time I buy a Prime figure, official or third party. Once I have the figure in had though, as long as it's actually a good toy, I realize that I can never actually be mad about a good Prime figure. He's the single most important character in the entire franchise and he always looks good on a shelf, whether he has any friends from the same series to pose with or not. If nothing else, he's a good metric of change throughout the franchise since there's a Prime in damn near every TF series ever so buying him in all of his different forms is a collection in and of itself. Sure, I want to see more characters to flesh out collections of specific series but at the same time, it's difficult to be upset when playing around with a solid Prime toy.

Especially since it's molded in a way that makes him only able to be the right arm. Like in >>8719911 that asymmetry just doesn't seem worth it for something that most people who just want him to sit on a shelf and look like the cartoon, while the people who want cool toyetic engineering probably wouldn't bother in the first place. I think if they could have made the hip joint slide up and down the thigh to give him more bend, but then the car sides would collide. The CW style would be the beast approach, but this is clearly catering to Sunbow Shelvers so they can't have that.

It just seems like such a confused addition. I don't really care for these kinds of figs, so I guess I can't really judge, but I think it ultimately would have just been better for all parties to either make it more playable, or just split him in two.

Cheating never bothered me, in fact I really appreciate it when it benefits the look of a figure. MS Bee looks good overall but the typical mushy nylon is gross, and the chest/roof should have been a less boxy/angled shape (would have looked better in both modes).

Agreed that NA’s is rather seam-y, but I’m ok with it and I think it’s less noticeable in color

The gossip on the chinese boards is that DX9's boss killed off their legends War In Pocket line due to Magic Square. Unsatisfied, WIP's main designers left the company and started New Age on their own.

It's probably more of a friendly rivalry at the moment though, they haven't reached that FT vs everyone mess. NA seems more concerned about the KOs.

I'm not sure if I believe that, because the WIP designs were all pretty shitty, and their transformations all sucked.

Both MS and NA have much better designs, more accurate designs, and none of their transformations suck fucking ass either. Well, except their Megatron's, but Megatron always has a fucky origami transformation anyway so I can't really hold it against them. Both are better than the official MP transformations anyway, by miles, so really it's not "bad".

Eh, I think that's only really been the case with their Seekers and V2 Ultra Magnus. They all come off a kind of half assed and I get the impression they just rushed them out to have something to use to compete with. Even though personally I like their seekers better overall you can't deny NA BTFO them in popularity, and that V2 Magnus looks like a major case of monkey see monkey do, I really don't expect it's going to be good when it has to involve a prime mold that very clearly was never designed for armouring up, but they have to make a Magnus like that anyway because it's what NA is doing.

The sudden release of their Bumblebee is suspect but it at least doesn't seem like the figure itself was rushed out, it seems like a pretty much finished design that they were just sitting on. The issues with it just seem to be the usual stuff, bare yellow plastic rarely looks good and MS doesn't clean enough mold flash off their parts, and the fact that this bee is so small just exaggerates that fact.

>What is the best 3rd party series to scale with Masterpiece?
depends on what kind of look you are going for. fans toys mainly focuses on 90% cartoon accuracy with some minor changes but have transformations that are incredibly unintuitive barring some exceptions. X-transbots/KFC lean more torwards the old masterpiece aesthetic barring their 86 movie/s3 robots which try to follow takara's current mp trend. Then there's the studio ox stuff that mastermind creations puts out once in a blue moon. pretty well engineered but sacrifice screen accuracy (for the most part)
>Is there a 3rd party line that scales with War for Cybertron Trilogy?
I know dr wu has started making some small robots that are roughly the same size as the core class from kingdom. they put out a galvatron/soundblaster combo and have some combining cassettebots on the way along with a prime and beachcomber
>Is there a good 3rd party Shockwave that doesn't turn into the gun?
Newage cyclops turns into a jazz-like car, just be aware that its legends scale. There's also the soon to be released purple potato shockwave that turns into the ship unicron gave galvatron in the 86 movie. robot mode for that one is about the same size as mp-29 shockwave

All there really is X-transbots/Keith's Fantasy Club, FansToys, and Mastermind Creations' Ocular Max line. DX9 recently left the scene with Stunticons around the size of MP Starscream, but their stuff should still be around for a while.
>>Is there a 3rd party line that scales with War for Cybertron Trilogy?
Nope. And there probably won't be since Hastak has nailed it down hard.
>>Is there a good 3rd party Shockwave that doesn't turn into the gun?
Lemon Tree Purple Potato. I think that's the name. It turns into the ship that Unicron gives to Galvatron from the 86 movie. It is either out or will be out soon. It is rather tall though.
>>What are some of your personal favorite 3rd party figures?

There isn't much that adheres to CHUG scales. Generally, 3P is divided into 3 sectors of sizing: MP sized, Legends sized, and then a few random companies usually do figures at around Voyager sizes. So if you're looking for MP or Legends sized stuff, you're in luck. If you're not, you're probably gonna have a bad time.

>What are some of your personal favorite 3rd party figures?
Anything from Iron Factory, New Age, or Magic Square.

If you're looking for CHUG, there's pretty much two main offerings to go with. The first being MMC's Reformatted line (that's the one that Tarn is a part of), and the other big player is Planet X. Their bread and butter are figures from the WFC / FoC video games, and, wouldn't you know it, they just released Shockwave.

I can't personally speak to any particular flaws he has, other than them going with this sad, small translucent purple optic that doesn't even have any light piping for it.

Yeah unfortunately this looks like another case of “generic man shape,” which seems too common with 3Ps. One of the neat things about TFs in my opinion is that they have pretty unique silhouettes, and even if some are squat/derpy it distinguishes them from other “super robots.”

But surely, *surely* they have to know that Menasor's legs aren't supposed to be a separate robot shin with some cars on the backs, right? right???

Never ceases to amaze me when people shit on toy makers for executing on a reality-defying concept, rather than focusing their annoyance on the character designers who show total disregard for anything outside of CGI magic.

That said, I’d be curious to see a non-cheating BB that uses “robot mode accurate” headlights/fenders in vehicle mode.

Menasor's design doesn't translate well and it is never going to be done anywhere like the cartoon when MP scale is at hand.
Not even Magic Square is attempting at proper legs. It's doing the same thing like DX9 and XTB.

Yeah it’s pretty funny how the line work on the shins are 100% supposed to look like collapsed robots. But then you look at other official cell artwork and it’s understandable where the “tacked on” idea came from.

Hot take but I don’t wanna see another MP-scale Menasor, Bruticus, Superion, Defensor, or Devastator as long as I fucking live.

None exists, though.

All the rest have MP scale versions but only FansToys, DX9,XTB and MMC truly fit G1 MP aesthetics. the rest are just big.

I love how stupid this opinion is. RiD 2001 was mostly reused toy molds.l, and to be completely honest, the only good unique toys were Fire Convoy and Gigatron. Yes, the autobot brothers were great in the cartoon, but some people think that means their toys were good too. They were not. Their toys were shit.

Agreed on all combiners except the very specific case of Magic Square applying their MP Prime treatment to Devastator-- that's a combiner I'd drop serious cash for.

Also my KINGDOM for a Zeta Abominus. I want a huge Abominus with blocky monsterbots. I like the TFC one but I like the blocky zoid-y aesthetic more.

RID15 Menasor is impossible to do if they want it to be 100% accurate because each limb also has to become a car, a bot, and another set of legs/torso for the extra combiner modes they did for whatever reason

fuck superion in particular. its a shit design. It is the only combiner that is somehow more shit than menasor.
4 identical airplanes, attached to...... another fucking airplane.
It is actually impossible to make a superion that is not total fucking garbage.
Menasor has 3 identical cars, a F1 racer, and a truck+trailer.

I want MMC to make a G1 devastator. They are actually good at making figures that are well designed, have fully built in combination, and are actually enjoyable to handle Their Bruticus is fucking amazing. 4 10/10 bots and one solid 7 (I like vortex, but he is very weak compared to the rest of the team.)

I love Assaultus myself, but I certainly couldn't call Onslaught a 10. He's fairly competent as both a robot and a truck, but he just simply didn't have strong enough hardware installed to function as good as he could have as a combiner.

It's a fairly nice match, but I wonder if that's actually Rouge's stock color, or if it's been altered somewhat.

One thing I'm realizing about the legends scale is that although they're cheaper and I can get more of them, they're not as high quality as MP-scale. Yes, I'm being buttfucked through my wallet, but I'm getting collectible that is relatively well-painted, has heavy die-cast metal, and has a real presence on my shelf. The legends scale figures look poorly painted and that's a big issue for me.

What universe are you living in where a New Age or IF release are poorly painted? For their scale they have extremely good detailing. Magic Square has some issues due to their plastic choices but even they have some premium options.

I'll give you shelf presence. You need to get enough legends to arrange them in some sort of display to make them work on a typical shelf. I keep them as desk fodder, but you can pair them with larger bots to try and make it in scale, like MMC Skylinx or a combiner.

MPtards have this delusion where unless a figure is dunked in paint like a glazed donut and it's thick to the point the figures joints actively break when moved, it's 'poorly painted'. It's probably all of the lead in the trash metal die cast they've been licking for years, eating away at their frontal lobes that caused this idea to formulate in their diseased minds.
